6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>In with me today is Dave silver dotje one. How

7
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>are you haven't seen you in ages?

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I know it's been a months. It has been a

9
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.320
<v Speaker 3>month now, it's been a couple of weeks. But feels

10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>good to be back. Your hair is getting rare. Oh, yes,

11
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 3>not from you got a job search pretty soon?

12
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that doesn't help either. No, it doesn't have it

13
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 2>at all. Well, welcome here. Ready Friday, we're gonna have

14
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>some picks. Did you Jay send you something? Yeah, I'll

15
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>reach out to okay, because I haven't even made mine either.

16
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Picks from Jay at the end of the show. We

17
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>have a pretty good show going on today. A lot

18
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>of basketball talk. I don't know if you want to

19
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>talk a little about you a football after some coaching

20
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 2>changes yesterday, Dave, Yeah.

21
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean I think we kind of anticipated some things

22
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 4>would happen after the season ended and Brad Brenda made

23
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 4>some moves on the staff. I guess Dino Babers will

24
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 4>be not not with a team, but Duenna Quina will

25
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 4>still be on the on the staff in some shape,

26
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 4>and who knows exactly what. I guess we'll have to

27
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 4>wait and see how that the DBS.

28
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's to me it was a little much ado

29
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>about nothing because we kind of already guessed that big

30
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>babies were not gonna be around.

31
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, and it's really I don't know with

32
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 4>the other schools, but I was listening to some other

33
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 4>folks talking today. I mean, it's kind of what happens

34
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 4>after after they get the guys signed. Sure, then they

35
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 4>start making these coaching moves like this. Sure some will

36
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 4>be you know, much more drastic. Well I'll actually actually

37
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 4>get rid of the head coach. But in this case,

38
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, again, these these recruits have been recruited by

39
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 4>a couple of these coaches which probably been close to

40
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 4>them and you know, kind of telling the stories about

41
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 4>the U of A and hey, you're I'm gonna be

42
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 4>your coach, and they disappear. So we'll see if any

43
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 4>of these players in those positions also make a change.

44
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Sure, and because that's the case, only maybe maybe because

45
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>that's the case Bee Babers were the only guy doing it,

46
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>because one coach is not going to affect a bunch

47
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>of people, right, uh, you know, offensive minded people. Yes,

48
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know how much he was involved in

49
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the offense after he had kind of relinquished the job earlier.

50
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they made that change with the was is it

51
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 4>Matt Adkins? I guess is the other assistant count He

52
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 4>kind of took over there. So yeah, you I don't

53
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 4>even know if, if if Dino was even involved in recruiting,

54
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 4>So we'd have to be asked some.

55
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Questions given what you know now, Is any of that

56
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 2>the scapegoat for the season, the fact that there were

57
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>there were changes and they all involved the offense. But

58
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 2>I do have another thing, because I said this in

59
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 2>the show and people who listened regularly, I would have

60
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>asked him. And I didn't have a chance to do

61
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it on Facebook or not on Facebook, but on Zoom

62
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>yesterday when I was on the press commerce because he

63
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>talked about looking in the mirror, maybe making some changes,

64
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, blah blah blah maybe And I said, well,

65
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>did they include himself? Because I think his and what

66
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>do I hell do I know. I don't get paid

67
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>to be a coach.

68
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

69
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>His approach to coaching is not conducive to today's kids. Well,

70
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll see.

71
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we've give we've got a twelve game you know,

72
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 4>slate of games to look at at this point.

73
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>So who knows it? And my sample size is not

74
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 2>good enough for your days? I don't know.

75
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm willing to give him more than a Yeah,

76
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 4>me too, everybody, everybody kind of you know, you jumped

77
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 4>the gun that fast.

78
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Me too, Dave. But the thing about it, some people

79
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>like me or I don't really care if he stays

80
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>with goods. Uh. I told you so, we saw this,

81
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>We saw this, so we'll see. Well, Gaudi has been

82
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 2>very good this week in terms of media access, and

83
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 2>he's more vibrant or or you know for jovial or

84
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>whatever the word is, which hadn't been him in the past.

85
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, the pressure is off as far as

86
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 4>preparing for a team, preparing for a game. Now it's

87
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 4>no losses, there's nothing, nothing's gonna happen until September next year.

88
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no losses are coming to any spring football.

89
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's gonna be a lot of things happening

90
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 4>with the transfer portal and other players coming and going

91
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 4>here in the next yeah, a couple of months, and

92
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 4>then next thing, you know, it'd be spring football public

93
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 4>and you know, in March or April, and we can

94
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 4>sort of see who's some of the Maybe some of

95
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>the freshmen have already come to enroll with the u

96
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 4>of A in that second semester of classes, so there

97
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 4>could be some you know, some young talent already on campus.

98
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Right and there's a couple of people leaving. I'll leave

99
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>that for you. On your breaking news, did you guys

100
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>have something on your on your website on talking about

101
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 2>some guy criticizing the UA football program and the recruits

102
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. I saw on Twitter and I

103
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 2>think it used you guys as a source, but I

104
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>could be wrong. I'm looking at it now and I

105
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>thought maybe maybe not. I don't believe, so maybe the

106
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 2>recruiting class evaluation. What did you wrote something yesterday?

107
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>I wrote a summary of what he had said on

108
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 3>Wednesday at the National Signing Day. Okay, okay, I saw

109
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 3>something that said uh Arizona would like to recruit a

110
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 3>new coach.

111
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I just I tossed to a side. Yeah, you stuff

112
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>like that all the time.

113
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, losing that quarterback recruit did you just talk about that, yes,

114
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>because it had not happened.

115
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 4>Robert McDaniel who went to u u c l A

116
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 4>from the from the U of A. So that I

117
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 4>think dropped Arizona and the recruiting rankings a bit. They

118
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 4>were in the mid forties forties, yes, and now they're

119
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 4>like sixty ish.

120
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we'll see that he's a three star. Yeah,

121
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 2>but but good enough for Arizona to chase them and

122
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>then someone to take him away.

123
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and there's that there's another quarterback in the class.

124
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, some of those decisions too, you're just not

125
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.160
<v Speaker 4>always sure what the players are looking at. Hey there's

126
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 4>another quarterback, maybe he's better than me, I'll never.

127
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Have a chance.

128
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Or there's some quarterbacks you know on the roster now

129
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 4>that he doesn't think he'll ever get a chance to

130
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 4>beat out.

131
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and no one's still here. So I'm sure

132
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that's going to a scare way of prospect.

133
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 4>And everybody, all the all the good quarterbacks there's a

134
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 4>price tag on every one of them in college football now,

135
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 4>So who knows if Noah's going to be here in

136
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 4>a month or a week, right, somebody, how would you

137
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 4>how would.

138
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>You feel you did this on the other side, you know,

139
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 2>the academic excited and the academic a lettle bit of

140
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>that if you had to do that nil chasing and

141
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you know, Jim, Jim, Bob, you got

142
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to give I hope you give you know, thirty five

143
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 2>thousand to five hundred thousand dollars in we got a quarterback,

144
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>we really want to get him. How difficult would you

145
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>think he would be for you? I think it the

146
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 2>more I was thinking about it lately, is that? Okay?

147
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 4>So maybe maybe if it's an experienced quarterback, somebody who

148
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 4>we know is good. But when they start dishing out

149
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 4>money to recruits that no one's ever seen play besides

150
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 4>high school, that's that's where it gets a little bit like, hmmm,

151
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 4>I must really have a lot of money to give

152
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 4>if I can give, you know, fifty thousand dollars for

153
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 4>some freshman quarterback who.

154
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Knows and who may not be here very long too exactly,

155
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 2>So who's the guy who's the quarterback that went to

156
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Florida State lately? Or yeah, that one and he wasn't

157
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>very good, right, he got a ton of money and

158
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.560

<v Speaker 4>a Mississippi shirt and everything like that, and he signed

166
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:13.759

00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 4>The player at Morana High School went to Washington. You know,

202
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm assuming Jed I'm assuming Jeed Fish had some kind

203
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 4>of contact with him while he was here.

204
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, he was a great player. At Morana.

205
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 4>He was the best player in one of the top

206
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.080
<v Speaker 4>players in the state, and he signed with the Huskies.

207
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so let me tell you real quick about the

208
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>show before we run out of time. We already gone

209
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>nine minutes. We're gonna have Rhino Ryan Hanson coming on

210
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the first hour, were at three seventeen talking about UA basketball,

211
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts on what's going on. Judge Tommy Lloyd had

212
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a press conmerence today. It was pretty good. You know,

213
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Lloyd press conference are always pretty good. He's kind

214
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 2>of truthful or candid and how he presents things and

215
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 2>simple kind of you know kind of things. And then

216
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>at the other hour for fifteen four seventeen, we're gonna

217
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>have Evan Mai Kawa, one of our guys that we

218
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>saw or found a year or two ago with his

219
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 2>analytics and the programs, and we'll ask him. And I

220
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 2>didn't see this at the beginning of the year where

221
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 2>he had Arizona at the beginning with all the analytics.

222
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Now they've fallen to twenty third overall, at least they're

223
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenty five for him. And I know

224
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of coaches go to his rankings and

225
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>his evaluations of players and situations, so widely used. A

226
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 2>very smart young man out of Texas. So we'll up

227
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>to date him on or update our listeners on who

228
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>he is, because we've had a number of times. He

229
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite guys. Talked to him at the

230
00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Final four.

231
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>So Gonzaga number one, Yeah, Tennessee to Duke three, So yeah,

232
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 4>I kind of usual suspects.

233
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Losses. Yeah, losses didn't matter in his thing because Gonzaga

234
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>lost in the Bahamas, right, right, Duke's lost a couple

235
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>or three. You know, there's a lot of Auburn just

236
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 2>lost Kentucky, so you know it's it's good, but you're

237
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna see the in basketball, you're always going to see

238
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 2>the usual substance suspects. Right. I don't know how far

239
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Creton went up, but they pulled off in the top ten. No,

240
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 2>but no, but it's gonna be tough for Arizona to

241
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of get rebuild that love because it's lost some

242
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's not gonna get any easier in their schedule

243
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>except for tomorrow, Except for tomorrow. Yeah, everything's gonna be

244
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>okay after twelve twenty tomorrow, everyone's gonna be happy. Yeah,

245
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 2>for you. You know, hey went to dance the other day,

246
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you want. I danced with about twenty women. I had

247
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>a great time. I played at UCLA a week later.

248
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Nobody wanted to dance with me. That's the truth. Yeah,

249
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>the truth.

250
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Everything Everything goes away after twelve o'clock tomorrow and then

251
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 3>we'll see you all again next week.

252
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 2>We revisited a week later. It gets better teams because

253
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to see South Utah in the tournament. No, no,

254
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you see Ucla. But the styles

255
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>for Arizona have given them trouble, tough, physical, slow them

256
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 2>down teams.

257
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, which they're going to see in the Big twelve.

258
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 4>Probably every game something a little bit different than we

259
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 4>saw in the Pac twelve.

260
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, there's some teams that want to move, like Houston

261
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 2>and Kansas, but you still got to be tougher, tougher.

262
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and again, as Arizona found out all through their

263
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 4>years in the Pac twelve, Pac ten, you know, they

264
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.799
<v Speaker 4>were the team that everybody look forward to having come to town.

265
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 4>There's always a big game, and you know that's going

266
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 4>to sort of probably carry over and there's no questions

267
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 4>time where hey, Arizona's coming into Iowa State. You know,

268
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 4>we've never seen them here, kind of thing. That's going

269
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 4>to be a big game wherever they go. Still, even

270
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 4>if there are five hundred.

271
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>What did the Spider say to the fly? Come on in, baby,

272
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 2>run in. Everything's gonna be good. Okay, did I say

273
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the water's warm? Come on in? Yeah, jump in, jump in,

274
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 2>because they're gonna love it. In Kansas and Houston, in

275
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State, which is still a very good team, Baylor,

276
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>all these teams, Yeah, looking forward to it. Anything else.

277
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I know, you can have a lot of breaking news, right,

278
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, some good stuff. Volleyball,

279
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 2>A volleyball women. Did you go to the game last night?

280
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Women's I didn't cover. I know what it was. What happened?

281
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.799
<v Speaker 2>You want to you? We'll talk about it. Yeah, I'll

282
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 2>ask my questions when it's time.

283
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 3>They had They had the pretty good lead too, and

284
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 3>lost it in the last moments of the game again

285
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 3>missing a bunch of free throws.

286
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess I don't know. Well, well that one tell

287
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>us what happened. Then we'll ask.

288
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 4>They lost to Nau and Grand Canyon. They still being

289
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 4>too against the state teams. So pretty interesting.

290
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Pretty interesting, Yeah, because they I think, I'm pretty sure

291
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 3>memory serves me correctly. They kind of got worked up

292
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 3>in Flagstaff Againstacks.

293
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they were ahead.

294
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 4>Arizona was ahead like by fifteen, I want to say,

295
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 4>in the second quarter, and then the Nau went on

296
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 4>a ridiculous run and I scored him like thirty to ten,

297
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 4>you know, and then it was over.

298
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>It was weird. Okay, let's go. Let's go started through thirteen,

299
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>So we'll go take a few minutes on the commercials

<v Speaker 13>hear the days with you as well.

376
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 2>We need somebody who's a voice of reason on this show.

377
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Dave is the guy to you, right, Hey, Rhino, what

378
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 2>hes going on with the basketball program? Speaking of reasoning?

379
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.640
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, speak speaking of a different territory, right, I mean,

380
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 13>what a what an interesting.

381
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 5>Start to the season.

382
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 13>I can tell you a couple of things that I've seen.

383
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 13>One the individual performances. Right, when you look at individuals,

384
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 13>they're not playing up the snuff. I mean, let's just

385
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 13>start there. Facts are these. Caleb Love is not performing

386
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 13>at even the same or remotely close to how he

387
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 13>performed last season, which was all conference player type status.

388
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.680
<v Speaker 13>He k fifth year. We should expect more from him.

389
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 13>It's not a knock on him, but to be shooting

390
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 13>twenty seven percent from the three point line and thirty

391
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 13>seven percent overall, that's below where he should be at.

392
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.359
<v Speaker 5>Let's start there.

393
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 13>There's other players that aren't playing up to their caliber

394
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.559
<v Speaker 13>or what we would have expected to see in the

395
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 13>jumps of the other two perimeter players, Jaden Bradley and

396
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.359
<v Speaker 13>kJ lewis getting their first opportunities. I'll give Jaden a

397
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.839
<v Speaker 13>lot of credit. He is living up to his hype

398
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.720
<v Speaker 13>in regards to scoring. But guys that there are some

399
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 13>there's an issue and one major issue is is he

400
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 13>facilitating is he leading this team as a point guard should.

401
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.119
<v Speaker 13>And I don't have this stat Steve, you would have

402
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 13>to dig into the archives, but if this season ended today,

403
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 13>it might be the lowest assist average per game of

404
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 13>an Arizona point guard in the last years.

405
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, yeah, you know what. I actually I did see

406
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 2>the statistic and.

407
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 4>There right now there are one hundred and twenty second

408
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.839
<v Speaker 4>in Division One with fifteen a game, which is like

409
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 4>three and a half less than last year.

410
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.359
<v Speaker 2>So you're right, you know, and the team, you.

411
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 13>Know, we're we're losing, you know, we lost sharing the

412
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 13>basketball as a team from last year. They've still to jail.

413
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 13>That's kind of my second point, Dave, but I'll sticking

414
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 13>on that first point. You know, you look at what

415
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 13>Jaden's giving you. Incredible defense, scoring, I don't want to

416
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.319
<v Speaker 13>say at will, but definitely a significant upgrade in the

417
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.599
<v Speaker 13>scoring from an average standpoint. His ability to get to

418
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.240
<v Speaker 13>the rim, not shooting it great from the three point line,

419
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 13>but he's been at least judicious with his shot selection.

420
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 13>But he has to create better opportunities for teammates.

421
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 5>You just can't have a point guard in Tommy Lloyd's.

422
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 13>System average what two and a half assists per game?

423
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.079
<v Speaker 5>That's just not enough.

424
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I like your evaluations so far. I'm sure you

425
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 2>have two more, but I totally agree with the individual performances.

426
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure the opponents had something to do with that

427
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 2>over the last couple of days. Right now, how do

428
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you like these two or give you the obvious one,

429
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the obvious one that people are talking about defending the

430
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 2>three point line, right, they just look horrible at doing that.

431
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 2>But I think the one that people aren't talking about,

432
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't talk about it today in the press conference,

433
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 2>it would have been my question, the difficulty in making

434
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 2>transition baskets. They don't. Teams are not letting them do that.

435
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, and I know, we've been around a

436
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.680
<v Speaker 2>long time, thirty some years, and what did Loot live

437
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:35.119
<v Speaker 2>on nineteen to two runs? Twenty four to four runs?

438
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>This team doesn't have that in them, or it hasn't

439
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.440
<v Speaker 2>had it so far.

440
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, let's look at Tommy's first three and a half

441
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 13>season exactly even been a half yet, But in his

442
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.759
<v Speaker 13>seasons right they percentages from the field are extremely high.

443
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 13>Why because he gets fast break baskets. I mean this

444
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.440
<v Speaker 13>is a coach who predicates his offense on transition opportunities

445
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 13>at the rim or open threes inanition, And so is

446
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.880
<v Speaker 13>it a defensive issue our other teams scouting Arizona better

447
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 13>this year than they have the last three years or

448
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 13>I think that could be some of it, Yes, for sure,

449
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.519
<v Speaker 13>But I also you have to question is the personnel

450
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.319
<v Speaker 13>living up to what we have historically seen? Do we

451
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.240
<v Speaker 13>have guys running the floor is hard? Do we have

452
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:28.480
<v Speaker 13>guys that can finish at the rim as well in transition?

453
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 13>I'll just today is kind of a truth conversation. We

454
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 13>miss umar Balo running to the rim.

455
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 5>We do.

456
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:39.559
<v Speaker 13>There's a fact that he grew he was a magnet.

457
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 13>He either drew the basketball on a fast break or

458
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 13>he drew attention or both in some cases. And so

459
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.920
<v Speaker 13>his ability to run to the rim and bury his

460
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 13>opponent his guy guarding him in front of the rim

461
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 13>gave Arizona high percentage looks, created foul trouble for the defense,

462
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 13>or it allowed for open jumpers or open transition up

463
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.440
<v Speaker 13>ortunities for teammates. We are not seeing that out of

464
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 13>Arizona's bigs right now.

465
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 5>Tobyo Waka has.

466
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.400
<v Speaker 13>Done an amazing job on the glass. He's just not

467
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:11.119
<v Speaker 13>the same finisher.

468
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 5>At the rim.

469
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 13>He's not running to the rim and commanding the basketball.

470
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.720
<v Speaker 5>Mo Crevis. Let's give the guy a little break, right.

471
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.519
<v Speaker 13>He's back healthy, but he missed significant time in the

472
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:25.799
<v Speaker 13>offseason getting better. So I will revisit this maybe in January,

473
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 13>to see is Mo running to the rim better and

474
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 13>commanding the basketball at the front of the rim, and

475
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 13>that all of that's trickle down, Steve right, It affects

476
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.039
<v Speaker 13>your assist numbers, it effects your percentages at the rim,

477
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.039
<v Speaker 13>it affects your fast break baskets.

478
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 5>That is a big challenge for Arizona right now.

479
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 4>You know, as far as Caleb goes is there is

480
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 4>there like an assistant coach or somebody that he can

481
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 4>go to. Maybe maybe not Tommy, maybe go to some

482
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 4>assistant and maybe I don't know, get a pep.

483
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Talk or a little shooting drills. How does that work?

484
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 4>You know within the staff to have a player who's

485
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 4>so good and it's probably you know, we all think

486
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.960
<v Speaker 4>it's mostly a mental situation at this point.

487
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:07.279
<v Speaker 2>How does he get better?

488
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:09.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to do think it's a mental thing.

489
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 13>Let's start there, Dave, we have a large enough sample

490
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 13>size of Caleb Love in his four years in college,

491
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 13>two at Arizona, one at Arizona, three at Carolina, now

492
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 13>his second year here, going into his fifth campaign to

493
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.119
<v Speaker 13>be able to say it his percentages are below his averages.

494
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 13>He's not a guy who's been a high efficiency player

495
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 13>in his career. However, last year he was the most

496
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.480
<v Speaker 13>efficient he had been.

497
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.559
<v Speaker 5>In his entire career.

498
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Speaker 13>So for him to go backwards to me is not

499
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.400
<v Speaker 13>he just forgot how to play, and that's not the case.

500
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 13>I do think a lot of it's mental. He's a

501
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.839
<v Speaker 13>mentally tough kid who's going to have to do what

502
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.880
<v Speaker 13>you're suggesting is rely on the support that's around him.

503
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.680
<v Speaker 13>So guys like Steve Robinson who have known him for years,

504
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 13>and guys like Murph who's going to work him out.

505
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 13>Ram Bakhamist is the personnel kind of work out genius

506
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 13>for the coaching staff. I'm sure he's in the in

507
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 13>the gym with Caleb, just working through things. We saw

508
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 13>a little bit more more of what we expected from

509
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 13>Caleb and the Bahamas. I think those three games we

510
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.279
<v Speaker 13>at least saw a little He's got to play with

511
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 13>an edge he's got to play with a little bit

512
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 13>of a swagger. His percentages weren't perfect, but I think

513
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.519
<v Speaker 13>he was nine for twenty in the last game. That's

514
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.799
<v Speaker 13>pretty good efficiency three for seven. Not ideal from the

515
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 13>three point line. You'd like to see him closer to

516
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 13>forty to fifty percent, but better than what his season

517
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 13>percentages are going. So I think if I were to

518
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 13>kind of put the crystal ball out there, I think

519
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 13>Caleb is starting to return to form. I think he's

520
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.799
<v Speaker 13>starting to have more of the season that what in

521
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 13>what we're expecting.

522
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 2>So today they had of prescons with Tommy, you know,

523
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 2>usually got the Tommy stuff that he always says. But

524
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 2>had I been there, there's things that would ask what

525
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 2>about the transition and the difficulty teams are doing to

526
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.759
<v Speaker 2>make that happened one and two, and I thought maybe

527
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.319
<v Speaker 2>he would think he'd give me that face and say,

528
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, why are you asking me this, Steve? But

529
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.039
<v Speaker 2>let me ask you this, Steve, this question right as

530
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Caleb goes Sodo's Arizona. We did it. We saw it

531
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.319
<v Speaker 2>last year and looked so far not so good.

532
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.680
<v Speaker 13>Maybe in the sample size we've seen right now, maybe

533
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 13>I would agree with that but I think Arizona's got

534
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 13>other weapons that just need.

535
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.519
<v Speaker 5>To play better.

536
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 13>Jayden Bradley is one that we spoke about. I think

537
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.880
<v Speaker 13>Trey Townsend started to figure out, Okay, I need to

538
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:35.559
<v Speaker 13>play like I have been playing at Oakland. That's another

539
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.039
<v Speaker 13>guy when I'm saying players that have not lived up

540
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 13>to what we expected.

541
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 5>I think Trey.

542
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.880
<v Speaker 13>Turned the corner and started to realize what his skill

543
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 13>set can allow him to do. I think he took

544
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 13>a back seat intentionally. I think that was a personal

545
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 13>choice to start the season of I'm going to figure

546
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.839
<v Speaker 13>out how I fold into this team. I think he

547
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 13>can be an outstanding weapon for Arizona. I think that

548
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 13>kJ Lewis can play better. So I don't think it's

549
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 13>just Caleb the eye. The eye is and the focus

550
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 13>is big on him because of the preseason All American height,

551
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.559
<v Speaker 13>because of what we saw last year, Like we mentioned

552
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 13>player of the Year caliber, I don't think it's it's

553
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.880
<v Speaker 13>like the Derek Williams year where it was either Derek

554
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 13>or no or we lost. I don't I would disagree

555
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 13>with you. I don't think this team is how goes Caleb,

556
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:25.240
<v Speaker 13>how goes Arizona?

557
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:26.200
<v Speaker 5>Right now?

558
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.559
<v Speaker 13>It is because the other guys aren't carrying their weight,

559
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 13>would be or or maybe just not reaching the potential

560
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 13>that we all see in them is a better way

561
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 13>to phrase it.

562
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, then you're then you're assuming that that's some to

563
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.000
<v Speaker 2>one of your points earlier. You're assuming that these players

564
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>all fit it are all good. I mean what if?

565
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:44.559
<v Speaker 2>What if?

566
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 5>What I think?

567
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 13>Assumption?

568
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, right, seven games through seven games? How would

569
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 2>you rate them? Not good?

570
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? I would.

571
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 13>I would rate them as dysfunctional probably right, They're not cohesive?

572
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.720
<v Speaker 13>Uh and and you wonder last year, years past. I

573
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:02.839
<v Speaker 13>try not to compare a year to year, but in

574
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.400
<v Speaker 13>the modern era, right of lots of new faces and

575
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 13>experiences coming every year, you know, there were a couple

576
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 13>of new faces, and those guys seem to gel quicker

577
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 13>to the team, especially Keyshot. I think he jeled a

578
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 13>very beautifully well to this team. I think we're still

579
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.319
<v Speaker 13>and I say we. I think Tommy has got to

580
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 13>figure out how to maximize all of the talents that

581
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 13>are out there. Are they good enough individually? I think

582
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.319
<v Speaker 13>Steve you ask a good question. Is Toby Alwaka a

583
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.359
<v Speaker 13>Big twelve All Conference player right now?

584
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:39.960
<v Speaker 2>No?

585
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.720
<v Speaker 13>Does he have the physical tools and abilities to become

586
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 13>an all conference level player. I think that answer is yes,

587
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 13>but he's not playing there yet. He's he's been dubbed

588
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:56.160
<v Speaker 13>and I think appropriately so as a rebounder, effort, energy defender.

589
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.440
<v Speaker 13>That's what his role was at Tennessee. Arizona's asking him

590
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 13>and wanting him to be more than that.

591
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 5>He has to grow into that.

592
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.839
<v Speaker 13>That wasn't going to be a light switch situation where

593
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:08.680
<v Speaker 13>he was all of a sudden going to become Michael

594
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 13>Wright in the low block and just finish everything. He's

595
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 13>got to learn, He's got to develop. He has to grow.

596
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 13>Same for Mo Crevius. Moe was not going to step

597
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:21.000
<v Speaker 13>right in, and I mentioned the loss of umar Bollo

598
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:21.960
<v Speaker 13>and all the positives.

599
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 5>There were some.

600
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 13>Challenges to umar Bollo defensively the free throw line, right.

601
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.880
<v Speaker 5>We saw that.

602
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 13>Moe's got to develop into that. I'm going to command

603
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 13>the basketball. I'm going to get double teams. Now I

604
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 13>know how to play out of the double teams.

605
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:36.880
<v Speaker 5>And be productive. But Steve, I.

606
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 13>Think you're you've asked a very good question, Well, before

607
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 13>is the talent level of this team where you want

608
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:43.640
<v Speaker 13>it to be?

609
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:43.880
<v Speaker 5>Well?

610
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.160
<v Speaker 2>You you responded perfectly and before Dave, you go into questions.

611
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 2>So you asked that question of a waka, you can

612
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:53.160
<v Speaker 2>ask those of all the players. Are they at the

613
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.960
<v Speaker 2>level of Big twelve necessity or how they need to play?

614
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>And will they If not, how can they get their

615
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Because I think your evaluation to my questions spot on, Dave.

616
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>If they're not up to the snuff, this is gonna

617
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 2>be a long year in the Big twelve could be rough.

618
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:11.799
<v Speaker 4>And you know a lot of programs are going through

619
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 4>this too because of the whole transfers and il I mean,

620
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.240
<v Speaker 4>rosters are flipping all over the place. If you look

621
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:20.079
<v Speaker 4>at some of the normal teams that are in the

622
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:22.599
<v Speaker 4>top twenty five, there's a bunch of them, are you know,

623
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.240
<v Speaker 4>around the five hundred mark here early in the season,

624
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.359
<v Speaker 4>Because I think teams are just you know, there's not

625
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.440
<v Speaker 4>teams yet. They're still putting together the best combinations, and

626
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I think the U of A maybe just falls right

627
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 4>into that trap right now. So maybe, you know, let's

628
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 4>let's as Ryan has been saying, let's maybe look at

629
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 4>this in about a month and see how things are.

630
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:43.079
<v Speaker 2>They're starting to gel.

631
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, and Dave, it might take a little longer than

632
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 13>that because if you look at the rest of the

633
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 13>games in the calendar year of twenty twenty four, how

634
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 13>much more are we going to learn about Arizona and

635
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 13>tomorrow's game. Probably not much more unless it's a close game.

636
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 13>If it's a contested game, then then we're going to learn. Wow,

637
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:02.559
<v Speaker 13>we still do have a ways to go. If it's

638
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 13>a if it's a you know, a one possession game

639
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 13>at the under four media time out in the second half,

640
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.359
<v Speaker 13>that that could raise some questions. But uh, Dave, I

641
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:15.119
<v Speaker 13>appreciate that you're sensing, and I do want to articulate this.

642
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.799
<v Speaker 13>I do believe Tommy has the ability to develop these

643
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.119
<v Speaker 13>guys this year. When I say Toby's not there today,

644
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 13>I'm not saying that it's well, we're gonna well, we

645
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 13>might as well mail in the season.

646
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 5>He's going to have to develop guys differently.

647
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 13>He does not have ready made guys that he's just

648
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:36.680
<v Speaker 13>putting into the right positions and we're tweaking. Let's also

649
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 13>look at this, Okay, so it was a one possession

650
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 13>game against Oklahoma and we lost an overtime to West Virginia.

651
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 13>A couple of bounces go a little bit differently. We

652
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.720
<v Speaker 13>didn't play great, don't get me wrong, but the bounce,

653
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.039
<v Speaker 13>the ball bounces a little bit differently, and you win

654
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 13>one of those, Let's say you win the West Virginia game,

655
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.839
<v Speaker 13>We're probably not as down in the dumps on where

656
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.079
<v Speaker 13>this team is at. So I want to give Tommy

657
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:04.400
<v Speaker 13>an opportunity. And here's my prime example exhibit A. You

658
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 13>and I, You, all three of us could probably argue

659
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.839
<v Speaker 13>that at the end of the Duke game, all of

660
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:12.400
<v Speaker 13>us looked at each other and said, is Anthony Delarso

661
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 13>going to play a minute in the Big twelve? Because

662
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:20.359
<v Speaker 13>he was yanked after ninety seconds of deer in headlights right,

663
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 13>he did not look like he could even play on

664
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:25.240
<v Speaker 13>the floor against.

665
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 5>Duke, which, by the way, there's a lot of guys that.

666
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 13>Are like, we're talking elite level talent. But what I

667
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.079
<v Speaker 13>learned in the Bahamas that was a positive was Anthony

668
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.640
<v Speaker 13>Delorso is a mature kid. He stepped into a tough,

669
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.559
<v Speaker 13>tough tournament for some guys, and he produced. I do

670
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 13>believe he has the ability to play in high level games.

671
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.759
<v Speaker 13>I think he now is learning how to do that

672
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 13>within the Arison the system. That was a bright spot,

673
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.079
<v Speaker 13>and that was just one what five days removed from

674
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 13>a game where it looked like, oh, my goodness, can

675
00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.920
<v Speaker 13>can he play in these high level games? I do

676
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.759
<v Speaker 13>believe he can. And Arizona's system has to be tweaked

677
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:06.759
<v Speaker 13>and they've got to work it out to figure out

678
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 13>what Anthony brings you into strength, find out his weaknesses,

679
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.519
<v Speaker 13>and try to minimize those.

680
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:14.079
<v Speaker 5>Guess what that is. That's called coaching.

681
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 13>That's what every coach does every year. Maximize strengths, minimize

682
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 13>weaknesses of individuals and teams.

683
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 5>That's what Tommy's got to.

684
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.720
<v Speaker 13>Do and have faith that he can get it done.

685
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 13>But you guys have said it, and you're not wrong.

686
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.559
<v Speaker 13>If the schedule does not have a lot of breaks,

687
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 13>there's not a lot of opportunity for the get right game.

688
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 5>You know, we're gonna be okay because we've got you.

689
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 13>Know, fill in the blank team at home that we've

690
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 13>beaten at home twenty five out of the last twenty

691
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 13>six times in the Pac ten slash Pac twelve era, Right,

692
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.799
<v Speaker 13>there was a lot of those teams that you could

693
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.400
<v Speaker 13>call the get right game. Not a lot of get

694
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.480
<v Speaker 13>right games in the Big twelve this season. And that's

695
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 13>probably where you're saying Wow, that that could be the

696
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 13>challenge is not just that Tommy can't get us there,

697
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.559
<v Speaker 13>that these guys can't develop. It's just, wow, the schedule

698
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 13>sets up for a lot different, more difficult competition.

699
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 2>It's funny we had to go. I could play, I

700
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>can pay, I could talk to you forever about all

701
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:15.880
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, just to kind of evaluate and then figure

702
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>out what's going on. But guess who's on the clock.

703
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Lloyd. He's got to figure it out o the.

704
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 13>Clock and that's the job, right, he would have nothing. Yeah,

705
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.920
<v Speaker 13>he wants it right, that's what he wants to If

706
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:29.319
<v Speaker 13>it was easy, any of us could do it.

707
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:30.960
<v Speaker 2>And he said that, he said that today three of

708
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:32.960
<v Speaker 2>us can't. Yeah, no, no, he said that today he's

709
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:34.720
<v Speaker 2>built for this. You know. The funny thing, I got

710
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:36.400
<v Speaker 2>a test and I said this on the air yesterday.

711
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 2>He says, oh, okay, and I don't take a little

712
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:40.599
<v Speaker 2>while to find it. But he says, Tommy's never been

713
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.319
<v Speaker 2>in the situation. You know, it's been all roses and

714
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 2>fun the last three years. Now we'll see how he

715
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:48.200
<v Speaker 2>gets out of it because he hadn't been in this situation.

716
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and I don't know if it was Rosie.

717
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 13>I mean you and I and Dave can sit here

718
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:57.000
<v Speaker 13>and say, wow, Tommy hadn't lost back to back games

719
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.000
<v Speaker 13>in his coaching creators on it. He's lost more games,

720
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.799
<v Speaker 13>uh you know this season than he did in the

721
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.880
<v Speaker 13>entirety of the season of his first year.

722
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 5>Right, you can. You can throw out all.

723
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 13>Those stats, but if you're Tommy and you're an elite

724
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 13>level college basketball coach, he'll tell you this. Yeah, the

725
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 13>wins and losses are there, but what's going on in

726
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 13>between the during practice and how we're developing. He's had

727
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 13>some challenges. He may have they may have come out

728
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 13>publicly as w's but there's been challenges that.

729
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 5>He's worked through.

730
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 13>So I I do believe he's built for it and

731
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 13>we're gonna find out.

732
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, right know. I was always We've got to

733
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.400
<v Speaker 2>come on more often because I love the stuff that

734
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:36.519
<v Speaker 2>you've provided us.

735
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 5>It's great talking to you boys.

736
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 13>Dave. Try to keep Steve on the straight and Maryland.

737
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying. It's fun, but it's hard, you know. By

738
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the way, we gotta go, guys, we gotta go. Thanks right,

739
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:55.000
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you. Here's no way you're going to keep you

740
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>on the straight.

741
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:59.239
<v Speaker 4>And there with Dave and Ryan, I go away his

742
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:01.119

837
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Of the portal to find.

838
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.760
<v Speaker 5>People this time, you know, last time. You know, it's

839
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:21.079
<v Speaker 5>huge because by the time he was hired, you.

840
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Know, there was guys like me and.

841

<v Speaker 5>You Steve, who are left you know?

842
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right right, So you're talking about.

843
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's not real promising either, you know it just

844
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.239
<v Speaker 5>you watch them and in fact, they don't play with

845
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:38.400
<v Speaker 5>the purpose, you know, like watching the Duke game, they

846
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:40.760
<v Speaker 5>look I don't know if they were just tired. I

847
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:42.760
<v Speaker 5>don't know how they could be tired, you know, they

848
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 5>were they played very slow, or Duke is very very fast.

849
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Whether to I don't know which one it is, but

850
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 5>but we just seen not to play as it meshes

851
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.880
<v Speaker 5>a team yet, and hopefully in the next couple of

852
00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:59.639
<v Speaker 5>weeks we decide to do that. Otherwise it's going to

853
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:00.760
<v Speaker 5>be a very long season.

854
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you know. I can't tell you how

855
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.039
<v Speaker 2>they're going to right this ship because just what it's

856
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna get tomugher than what they just saw. So how

857
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:11.320
<v Speaker 2>they gonna do that? How are they gonna do that?

858
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:12.280
<v Speaker 2>At the players they have.

859
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.760
<v Speaker 5>Because every game is going to be tough. It's not

860
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:17.960
<v Speaker 5>like you're gonna have one game and then you're gonna

861
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 5>play a crappy Pac twelve score. It's like all the

862
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:22.519
<v Speaker 5>teams in the Big twelve are gonna be tough.

863
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.280
<v Speaker 16>What if?

864
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:27.079
<v Speaker 2>What if the last thirty years was all an illusion

865
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:29.320
<v Speaker 2>because it wasn't a Pack twelve?

866
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:31.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, right, you know what I mean?

867
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Schedule?

868
00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:37.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I'm still not real. I mean, I understand

869
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:39.440
<v Speaker 5>moving to Pac twelve. They didn't. I mean, the Big

870
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.159
<v Speaker 5>twelve didn't really have a choice in the whole matter.

871
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:44.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean, they could have tried to stay in the pack,

872
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:47.559
<v Speaker 5>but that wouldn't have worked. But I just don't like

873
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.960
<v Speaker 5>the way the Big twelve promotes itself. There is no

874
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.880
<v Speaker 5>promotion on this in this conference, you know. I mean,

875
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:59.400
<v Speaker 5>as pathetic as the Pac twelve Network was, at least

876
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:02.079
<v Speaker 5>we got this see. But some of the players, and

877
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:04.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, I have I don't have any idea about

878
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 5>the players in the Big twelve football.

879
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 4>We're all gonna have to learn. I mean, we're all

880
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:11.079
<v Speaker 4>kind of in the same boats. I don't know anything

881
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:13.800
<v Speaker 4>about you know, Kansas State or some of these.

882
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Funny you bring that up because I didn't notice that, Brian,

883
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:18.599
<v Speaker 2>But you're you're right, because I when you watch TV,

884
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and well, I'm at the games mostly, but when you

885
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.360
<v Speaker 2>watch TV, what do you know about the conferences? They're

886
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:26.039
<v Speaker 2>not out valuehooting themselves or pueling their chests.

887
00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:28.840
<v Speaker 5>No, no, they're not. And you know, the worst part

888
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:31.880
<v Speaker 5>of it is, Okay, the football season basically is over

889
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.800
<v Speaker 5>except for a few teams will still be playing. Well.

890
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.199
<v Speaker 5>Next year, we're going to have every team is going

891
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.440
<v Speaker 5>to have like fifty new roster. So we'll be going

892
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.199
<v Speaker 5>through the same thing next year, right, you know, And

893
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.559
<v Speaker 5>it's not like we have, you know, like the Big twelve,

894
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 5>the PAC twelve Network would have shows about the teams

895
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:52.360
<v Speaker 5>and whatever, and or have that PAC twelve at midnight whatever,

896
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.599
<v Speaker 5>you know, uh, showing highlights of the basketball games and

897
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 5>talking about players and the football teams. You know, we

898
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:03.000
<v Speaker 5>just don't have that to know these players, even though

899
00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 5>with the NIL and I think that, Yeah, I.

900
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Think you're right.

901
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.320
<v Speaker 4>I think from a media standpoint, you know, being one

902
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.480
<v Speaker 4>of the four big conferences, we're the only one that

903
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:14.760
<v Speaker 4>does not have their own TV networks, got.

904
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 5>That Big ten everybody, you guys who are in the

905
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:21.599
<v Speaker 5>media get to see more of it than this of

906
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.800
<v Speaker 5>the average viewer, you know, so you know a lot

907
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:26.559
<v Speaker 5>more about the different players than we do.

908
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:29.719
<v Speaker 2>It's funny, but it's funny. Buy and you bring that

909
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.599
<v Speaker 2>up because uh, and I was just going to say,

910
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 2>be careful what you wish for, because everybody in the

911
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:36.920
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve. Oh, I hate the PAC twelve network. I

912
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:39.320
<v Speaker 2>hate this and I hate that we jump to another person,

913
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:41.679
<v Speaker 2>another you know, the hot the hot girl, and we're saying,

914
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't cook. What the hell you don't cook? There's

915
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:45.800
<v Speaker 2>always something wrong with.

916
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:48.280
<v Speaker 4>The next thing. Well, the big thing was the access.

917
00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:50.360
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't It wasn't so much the quality of what

918
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:53.079
<v Speaker 4>we saw. It was just them not being available for

919
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:55.320
<v Speaker 4>for everybody to see. You're living Tucson, if you have

920
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:57.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, god forbid, you don't have direct TV, or

921
00:42:57.840 --> 00:42:59.480
<v Speaker 4>if you do have direct TV, you can't see it,

922
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.480
<v Speaker 4>so right, it was always very that was very frustrating,

923
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:04.679
<v Speaker 4>and there are fans all over the country who had

924
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 4>the same problem. Didn't matter where you were, there are

925
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:07.719
<v Speaker 4>places just couldn't see it.

926
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 5>You know. It's kind of sad that I might know

927
00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:14.000
<v Speaker 5>more about the SEC players or the Big ten players

928
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:15.280
<v Speaker 5>and I do about my own conference.

929
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we'll see Brian. Thanks, thanks, good that you

930
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.039
<v Speaker 2>know that. Jason, I'm not here so you can call

931
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:22.679
<v Speaker 2>it any time.

932
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh well, you know, I don't want to disturb his

933
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:27.679
<v Speaker 5>vacation time.

934
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't get we'll see. We'll be at the casino

935
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:31.239
<v Speaker 2>if you have a chance to get out there in

936
00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:32.719
<v Speaker 2>three two weeks.

937
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.960
<v Speaker 5>Two weeks, two weeks, okay, if I'm in town, I'll

938
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.760
<v Speaker 5>give you I'll be out there.

939
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Great, great, see you last time, right right, thank you?

940
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Anybody else know we got on the call? Okay, great? Perfect, Hello,

941
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.280
<v Speaker 2>you're on the air and eye of the ball. Who's this, Hey,

942
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:47.199
<v Speaker 2>what's going on?

943
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:48.119
<v Speaker 13>Steve? You do.

944
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>What's the word man? The voice of reason?

945
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 17>All right? Brother, uh, I guess the guy not this

946
00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.360
<v Speaker 17>guy that was just talking a sick and a goal?

947
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:00.719
<v Speaker 5>But was it Ryanos.

948
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:06.320
<v Speaker 17>I'm gonna tell you what it is is this team

949
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:12.920
<v Speaker 17>chemistry is not what it is supposed to be. You

950
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:19.800
<v Speaker 17>got three guys who would probably be like off guards

951
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:24.199
<v Speaker 17>because even though they say Bradley's a point you can't

952
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:26.960
<v Speaker 17>be a point guard and you're only averaging to assist

953
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:27.599
<v Speaker 17>the game.

954
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:28.679
<v Speaker 5>My man.

955
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:32.599
<v Speaker 17>A point guard is a guy that sets the table

956
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:37.639
<v Speaker 17>so everybody can eat, and that's not happening. And the

957
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:44.840
<v Speaker 17>other thing is what I noticed about Jaydon, Caleb and

958
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:49.519
<v Speaker 17>kJ Lewis at first, although kJ has kind of put

959
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:52.000
<v Speaker 17>the brakes on it a little bit, is all of

960
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:56.079
<v Speaker 17>those guys were trying to take play hero ball. If

961
00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:59.119
<v Speaker 17>you notice the shots that they were taking, they were

962
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.159
<v Speaker 17>taking shot when they drove to the basket a high

963
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.599
<v Speaker 17>degree difficulty. Yeah, if you Michael Jordan, you can hang

964
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:10.440
<v Speaker 17>up in there and make those kind of moves and

965
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.199
<v Speaker 17>stuff like that there, but those guys don't have that

966
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:15.159
<v Speaker 17>skill level.

967
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:15.480
<v Speaker 13>Yet.

968
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:20.440
<v Speaker 17>Another thing about it is poor Monk krisis Uh. Every

969
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:23.880
<v Speaker 17>time he brings the ball down. Uh, the smaller guy

970
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:26.440
<v Speaker 17>slapped them, slapped the ball.

971
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Out of his hands.

972
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:33.519
<v Speaker 17>Uh except for the Larso I haven't seen a consistent outside.

973
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Shooter, three point shooter on this team yet. Well, you

974
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:40.920
<v Speaker 2>mentioned four or five things right there. Tells you why

975
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:41.599
<v Speaker 2>they're struggling.

976
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

977
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:43.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

978
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.119
<v Speaker 2>And then poor Toby o'walka.

979
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:48.159
<v Speaker 5>I heard Rhino saying that.

980
00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:50.599
<v Speaker 17>They want more out of him to become a He

981
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:53.559
<v Speaker 17>wasn't a store at Tennessee. He was a just a

982
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:57.760
<v Speaker 17>defensive player and a rebounder. And if you expect the

983
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:02.880
<v Speaker 17>guy to transition into that, that's not gonna happen. So

984
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:07.440
<v Speaker 17>right now, what I could see is poor Timmy Lloyd.

985
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:10.880
<v Speaker 17>Uh yeah, he probably got the players that he could get,

986
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:13.159
<v Speaker 17>but the chemistry is screwed up.

987
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:13.840
<v Speaker 5>Big tie.

988
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Right. So what Ryan said too about bollow, how he just.

989
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:20.119
<v Speaker 4>Took up so much space in the middle, and maybe

990
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:22.519
<v Speaker 4>he didn't make every basket, but he was he was

991
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:25.599
<v Speaker 4>a force. He changed He changed Arizona offense. If you

992
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:27.679
<v Speaker 4>got the ball into him, you know, if he got

993
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:30.239
<v Speaker 4>it out quickly, usually somebody was wide open because they're

994
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:31.280
<v Speaker 4>all collapsing on him.

995
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:33.320
<v Speaker 2>And they just don't have that right now with any

996
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 2>of their big guys.

997
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:35.599
<v Speaker 11>Right.

998
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:40.599
<v Speaker 17>Well, you know, I think I talked to you Steve,

999
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:44.400
<v Speaker 17>within the last month or so when they were losing

1000
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.599
<v Speaker 17>games like to do and uh, as I told you,

1001
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:51.920
<v Speaker 17>I quoted Clint east Wood and Ronald Reagan. These areason

1002
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:52.519
<v Speaker 17>the fans.

1003
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:56.400
<v Speaker 2>They ain't seen nothing yet. Well, as long as you

1004
00:46:56.519 --> 00:46:58.199
<v Speaker 2>say make my day, I'm okay with that.

1005
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:03.000
<v Speaker 17>He Well, I'm just telling you like this here, brother,

1006
00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker 17>Uh they were crowd and getting all twisted about them

1007
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:11.079
<v Speaker 17>losing and stuff like that, then they're gonna lose them

1008
00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:11.559
<v Speaker 17>no game.

1009
00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no question.

1010
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:17.960
<v Speaker 17>Basically, when you look at Iwall Stay, you look at Houston,

1011
00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:22.920
<v Speaker 17>you look at Kansas State as Unfortunately, I do know

1012
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:27.559
<v Speaker 17>about the players and the people in this conference because

1013
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:29.280
<v Speaker 17>I follow college basketball.

1014
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:30.719
<v Speaker 5>There's four or five.

1015
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:35.159
<v Speaker 17>Teams in this conference that's gonna beat Arizona regularly until

1016
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.960
<v Speaker 17>uh we upgrade in some areas.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, appreciate the calls, always call any time.

1029
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:14.760

1030
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:16.840
<v Speaker 4>if it if it goes south, how are they coping now?

1031
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:18.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I have a hard enough time, and I

1032
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:20.400
<v Speaker 4>don't really you know, I got nothing going. I'm just

1033
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:22.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'll turn the sound off most of the

1034
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:25.599
<v Speaker 4>time or be somewhat superstitious. But it'll be interesting to

1035
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:27.320
<v Speaker 4>see if there's a fan trend on how are you

1036
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:28.079
<v Speaker 4>dealing with all this?

1037
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:29.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not good. It's not going the right way. We

1038
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:32.039
<v Speaker 2>got a last call before we go. Hello, you're on

1039
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the air and eye on the ball?

1040
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:39.480
<v Speaker 16>Was there somebody on his show defending the Pack twelve network?

1041
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:43.760
