Speaker 6: Probably we got uh woodoo grape Okay, and then we

Speaker 7: Guys.
Speaker 6: If there's something about me, I am known for my
Ultra Wild Passion baby show up on the way in July,
if you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: We got all three, so we're excited. Thank you, Matthew.
Speaker 2: What happened earlier? Why did Taylor's desk us uh Brookston done?
Oh yeah bo yeah Ultra old Passion guy.
Speaker 4: Yep down oh my shot.
Speaker 2: Slap on that bricks and done.
Speaker 5: Baby l Shue Baseball one last night. Yeah, hell yeah, Ruisie. Yeah,
fifteen to five.
Speaker 6: It's called fifteen runs. Oh, they probably tore the cover
off the ball.
Speaker 4: Fifteen runs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there was some some fingers.
Speaker 4: It was some old eras by the old Bulldogs.
Speaker 5: Louisiana Tech now drops to fifteen to eleven on the air,
LSU improves to seventeen and nine.
Speaker 4: There's not going to be like a ton of takeaways.
Speaker 5: I mean, your starting pitcher went two thirds of an inning, right,
so now a ton of takeaways like off the mound.
A lot of different guys pitch for you only I
think what three people actually pitched at least a full
inning in this.
Speaker 4: Game for LSU.
Speaker 5: If you're going to try to find something in the lineup,
Jake brown Head Omar continued to hit. Guryel continued, well,
not continued. He certainly looked more like his old self
in this game. Pearson has a couple of RBIs. But
I'm just not gonna get very excited about Zach York
hitting a home run right now. And I know that
might but too, I know that might seem rude. I
know that might seem like.
Speaker 8: Wait, do it an SEC player.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need his bat to catch up what they say.
Speaker 7: That was his first one in like a month.
Speaker 3: So I've seen too many uncompetitive at bats and watching
too many of.
Speaker 9: Watch Tim watch three meatballs right down the middle.
Speaker 8: Go By doesn't even take the bat off his shoulders.
Speaker 9: I've watched people swing at ball four and get a
double play off of that.
Speaker 8: Do it an SEC play.
Speaker 3: We're ready, like we are, we are sitting there, We're
you know, we're big body guds around here. We love one,
so we're ready. We're ready to cheer for you every
great l Shue base. We're just going to We're gonna
hold our enthusiasm, Yeah, until we see it a little
bit more because we've seen. We can't unwatch what we've
seen the last couple of weeks, which hadn't been great.
And I think he would probably be if he was
sitting here, he'd be the first one to tell you that,
right go ahead.
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, do I want to meet like
win midweek games?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Am I going to be impressed that we did it? Absolutely?
Speaker 9: Not, Like I don't care if it's a run rule
or not. Like we have not seen anything that's good
in SEC play and Louisiana Tech had three errors on
the night that you scored off of.
Speaker 8: They walked a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 9: It was the same situation with like on Friday or
I guess the Thursday night.
Speaker 8: Game with Oklahoma.
Speaker 9: That's why you won the game because they had a
bunch of errors and they gave you all those runs.
They gave you the opportunity to do it. So like, yeah, cool,
two home runs going two for four, four RBI for
Zach York.
Speaker 8: That's awesome. Great, Yeah, do it an sec play.
Speaker 2: We want to get excited. Tell us on that video. Yeah,
I have it. Okay, where are you about the show?
Speaker 3: Okay, no, no, So there was one like I was watching,
I watched a little bit. I was off and on
kind of watching it. Last night there was one of
the most impressive plays I've seen this year by l
s u Omar cerna head first slide into home plate
last night.
Speaker 2: Did you see this? It was incredible to take you show.
The club.
Speaker 8: Is korel at bat hits it off the wall in center.
Speaker 3: Field hall and they got him dead to rights. I mean,
a little bit unathletic. He thought he was going feet first.
Speaker 8: He decided last second, ago feet first, but he.
Speaker 3: Did the all left hand first. Nope, take back, reach
around with them.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 6: That slide is kind of equivalent to l Shues wins
this season. You're like, I think it's good. Yeah, I
think it's good. But the the ending, the finish of
it was fantastic. Head first, Okay, yeah they did they
kept it.
Speaker 5: He has been a breads the fresh air. Yes, he
is right now the third best hitter on your team
as far as average, and he is quickly climbing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, jah, I don't call him slow Mar.
I mean no.
Speaker 5: They did the same thing to Omar Spates. They called
him slow Mar Spates. No, it was Matthhouse defense.
Speaker 2: It was it made him.
Speaker 5: That's why he's a starting linebacker for the La Rams.
That good, probably the second best team in the NFL.
Speaker 6: But no, to go back there last night, it just
didn't feel dominant. You know, at any point, Like I understand,
you get a run rule win and people could say,
I will tell you you can't dominate these teams even
if you have, you know, a big talent advantage that
you just baseball. I understand that, I get that, but
this is always what it looks like Ilishu has never
looked dominant in these midweek games. Like it's always oh yeah,
you put up a lot of runs. You're just kind
of going through the motion. You took advantage of the
other team's mistakes, which is fine, but just last night
doesn't really instill a lot of confidence. I mean, like,
like we were just talking about it, it's kind of
just reminiscent of the Oklahoma series. Everybody came back and said, oh,
we told you they were going to turn it around.
They win seven to one, they dominate Oklahoma. It's like, guys,
they're starting pitcher walk six batters. So like you didn't
do anything to beat Oklahoma in that Thursday night game.
Speaker 7: You just capitalize all of their mistakes. That's kind of
what it felt like.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, Zach York's two home runs, great, awesome,
Police do it on the weekend when it counts. And
then you look at a guy like Reagan Rick and
we talked about him last week, so good in the
midweek two weeks ago, he went two innings. I think
he had four strikeouts, and there's two innings. He took
a step back last night. It's just if it's not
one thing, it's another like I'm happy about the win,
but I don't know if this changes a lot.
Speaker 9: Like, yeah, I get there's someone's in the chat. You're
supposed to score off other team's mistakes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you get that.
Speaker 9: I absolutely get that, and I'm glad that we do,
and whenever we do, we win the game. But I
want to be able to win the game without Oklahoma
or Louisiana Tech giving up three five errors. Yeah, Like
that's all I'm saying, Like, I get it you one
hundred percent. I was saying, like, we need to take
advantage of the other team's mistakes.
Speaker 8: And you're doing that.
Speaker 9: Cool, But what about when Oklahoma does not give up
any errors and you yeah, like and like, if you.
Speaker 6: Haven't played, you can't rely you can't rely on Oh,
don't worry, we'll just wait for the other team to
make a mistake and score runs.
Speaker 7: You can't rely on that. You don't know that's gonna happen.
That's that's the point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you're absolutely right in the chat, like you can't.
Good teams take advantage of other team's mistakes. But the
point is the last couple of weeks, we have not
been that good. Team that you expect to be when
you played below your expectations. Yeah, you're gonna be a
little bit more critical, even in even in the wins.
Speaker 9: Well, I also just don't want to be a sunshine pumper,
you know, Like I love LSU baseball, but I'm not
gonna sit here and be like, oh, yeah, they're doing great.
Speaker 2: Because they're not going to be like that. Yeah either,
Jase's not going to be like that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Players aren't going to say like say those things, right,
So you got to be positive because it's still mid March.
I don't know, slate March.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is really about getting right up, getting hot
at the right time.
Speaker 2: But I mean it's time.
Speaker 5: It's just it's things that you need to see to
your point though, Like it is getting hot at the
right time, but you need to see progression to get
to that point, right.
Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely, just like no, I that's can we see
you go out there and hit on the weekends not
in the midweek like I don't know.
Speaker 5: Like for the pitching staff, you saw some of that
development this last weekend with Cason Evans and the way
that he threw I think Cooper Moore before he goes
out with injury, like he's thrown well and William Schmid
had another solid outing. It's like, but that's progressing to that.
So if you get hot on the mound with your
starting staff, okay, But it's like for the bats, like
we can't just assume all of a sudden you snap
a finger and then boom, they're hot, right like when
you go and you let look at they're hitting stats.
Right now, You've got Jake Brown at three seventy six,
Derek Curry out three thirty seven, and then it's Omar
Cerna junior.
Speaker 4: At two eighty six.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two flairs hitting over three hundred.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Knowledge I was just gonna say, like Omar that that's
gonna get up above three hundred, but he just started
kind of slow.
Speaker 8: So, but I don't know.
Speaker 9: It's just the other thing that bothers me is that
I feel like they just and you don't know what
goes on behind in the locker room or behind closed
doors or whatever, but it just doesn't feel like there's
a lot of juice or like a lot.
Speaker 8: Of like fight or like I don't know, I don't
know if that makes sense.
Speaker 4: A lot of piss and vinegar.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the lack of leadership too, like we had We
had Jay on a couple of weeks ago, and he
mentioned Zion Theophilis right leaving a note nobody's locker.
Speaker 7: Shout out to Zion for doing that. Somebody had to
step up and do it.
Speaker 6: You shouldn't need a first year pitcher who predominantly throws
on midweeks to do that. Where is your veteran leadership
on this team?
Speaker 2: You don't have it.
Speaker 7: You should.
Speaker 6: You got veteran players for whatever reason, they're not stepping
up at being vocal leader.
Speaker 2: And there's different time.
Speaker 3: There's there's leadership that people see that fans can see clearly,
and then there's leadership that you can't see.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure they got a lot of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean you look at some of the
games and yeah, you're wanting went a little bit more juice,
a little bit more just pumping a little bit more
piss and vinegar out there.
Speaker 2: You know what I would do, get them a little
bit more gritty.
Speaker 3: What Jay, I'd say, no more, no more wrist braces, pads,
no more elbow pads, no more, no more pads, no
more ankle pads. Just take all the things that you
can velcrow on your person. Yeah, during that bat, let's
just take it off, take it off, let's go bat
and gloves. Yeah, when you get well, you get on base.
I don't have to call time out. So if you
can unstrap everything and hand it to the first base.
Speaker 6: Gut, How am I supposed to steal and take off
my shindguards though, Matt.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Let's just take off the chin
guards will. But what am I.
Speaker 7: Supposed to wear?
Speaker 2: It's a good it's a great some chin straps on
this helmets?
Speaker 7: Next?
Speaker 4: Remember that grow up?
Speaker 2: Maybe a Cowboys.
Speaker 7: Black elastic band?
Speaker 6: Yeah, kid, it was too big for you anyways, hung
down about four.
Speaker 2: So forgot The amount of flair baseball players have now
and they go to bat is a little outrageous. Did
that many people getting injured? Was there that many people
getting injured on different parts of their body? I don't
think so Verry Bonds wore because he got hit so much.
That's why you started wearing the elbow pad. I mean,
but I don't know if we got any Berry Bonds
on our team. I'm just you know. Yeah, he was
also like, there's.
Speaker 6: At least three Matt True get back to the basics.
Speaker 2: Anything with bel crow Soid's bad and gloves take it
off and gorillas school. Just go out there, raw dog,
just a little tape on the finger. Yeah, let's go
back to the basics. That's right, damn travel ball Generation.

Speaker 10: We're on the I mean, you know that was I mean,

Speaker 4: Shout out to miss Mayo.

Speaker 10: She won't get your messages.
Speaker 4: Wait, that message is not finding what you're saying.
Speaker 10: I don't think, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 10: Norris though, man a.
Speaker 9: Talk.
Speaker 4: I know, man, that was so dev you didn't join us.
Speaker 5: But like so, when I first moved to Baton Rouge
started doing radio here, we had a show we called
it Hanging with Hester and me and Flynn would do
it six to eight at night. And you can get
a little loose six to eight at night on radio, right,
nobody really is listening anyway, so you can talk about
whatever you want to. And so we did the whole
two hour show on Chuck Norris jokes, and it was
based off Joe Burrow wrestling the tire away from Pete
Warner when they were at Ohio State and Joe Burrow
was visiting LSUH and he might come here. So we
based our entire show off Joe Burrow slash Chuck Norris
chokes off that video, and we did two hours for
Chuck Norris and it was one of the most electric
episodes you'll ever listen to.
Speaker 10: Yeah, dude, I mean growing up, that's the first time
I ever saw Chuck Norris was in the Bruce Lee movies.
My dad always had him on, so that was the
first time I ever saw him, and I thought he
was a bad dude then, you know, and then I
started Walker Texas Ranger was always on the TV, you know. So,
I mean, I don't know how many episodes they made
a Walker Texas Ranger, but it had to be in
the thousands.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no doubt the.
Speaker 10: The there was constantly running. In my opinion, he was
like the sheriff of the entire state of Texas. Couldn't
tell me anything.
Speaker 2: Different, you know, like for real, it's just a documentary.
Speaker 10: Yeah, like funny you grew up in Texas. So like,
do people feel highly about Chuck Norris like that?
Speaker 2: I mean I think everybody really kind of thinks highly. Check.
We certainly did. We certainly did. And to do what
he did with those tight jeans too and boots on
was fair like ultra impressive.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, dude, he was like
this guy has like a Hollywood star theme like in
nineteen eighty nine, you know what I'm saying, Like, dude,
was dou been a legend? I mean, training parting that
Bruce Lee, which is you know, there's only so many
people that interacted with Bruce Lee, and this dude trained
with him.
Speaker 2: He stayed relevant in multiple generations people, whether it's the
camel at Dodgeball, and then of course the Chuck jokes like,
I mean, he just multiple generations. Everybody knows Chuck Morris. Yeah,
pouring out.
Speaker 4: Uh Death.
Speaker 5: So when uh we didn't get you, I believe it
was yesterday because Monday we were on location, so we're
trying to hook up yesterday, I was like, well, maybe
Death stayed up late watching a little raw, you know,
a little WWE. It turns out you were playing, and
uh you're playing a game.
Speaker 4: Yea, what game was that again?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 10: Zombies? You know I'm traditional video game players, so I'm
still playing zombies, dude. You know what I'm saying, call
of duty. But you know I've been ripping a lot
of calls too, So literally ripping calls until you can't
buy them anymore, Like when the store is all closed.
That's when I'm like, oh damn, yeah.
Speaker 4: What kind of cars? S? Tell us everything?
Speaker 10: All right? So I'm on USC wrestling football of course,
you know, really keen PANINII, let's see optic prism. Let's see,
got the Mosaiics. But you know, look, man, I've spent
thousands and thousands and thousands on cars the last two years.
I'm still yet to like get that car.
Speaker 5: You know, once you do, if you're still doing it
and you hadn't got that card yet, you're in trouble, brother,
because when you do, when you do pull that four
thousand dollars card and you get that a little bit
of that high it'duck turning that off.
Speaker 10: Yeah. I'm starting to like question it though.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 10: I gotta be honest. I know this is like a
common thing about people who rip cards and don't get nothing,
But I just think that something about this is geographical.
I can't help but thinking, man, like yeah, yes, yes,
Like dude, why would you send a whole lot of
like one out of five, one out of one to mattery?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 10: Yeah, when they looked at it, when they're like, oh yeah, man,
it really got some got some high rollers over it. No,
I mean they send them to California, they send him
to New York, you know. So That's what I'm thinking
going on, man, because like, where where's the John Jones
one on one in Louisiana? Ain't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Breakers are getting a lot of them too.
I don't know, Yeah, you a little your little pub
out there.
Speaker 10: I can't stand them dudes, bro, because I go watch
them and they pull in UFC. The dude don't know
any of the names. He can't say any of the names.
But he's got twenty eight boxes hobby boxes behind them,
and I'm like, dude, this is just not right.
Speaker 5: You're right, they can't they can't say names, all right,
dav So Flynn and I will text you. I think
we got a couple of things that maybe can help
you out a little bit, maybe what you're looking for.
So we'll kind of text you maybe what to go
out there and look for when you're looking, when you're
going through boxes, and maybe we can get you that hit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, I'll take anything, you know. I don't look.
I just want to one to ten, one to five
of anything, dude.
Speaker 4: You know shit, Gold, Vinyl, Randy Moss, Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Y'all want to see me hit the turn this five
hundred dollars box into seventy five buck yet? Watch this?

that hard in a very long time. Shout out to
miss Mayo for that. Well, we'll catch up again with

Speaker 10: Script scripped.
Speaker 1: Stripped off the bench presented by Hood Dental.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back.
Speaker 5: Int O TV here on this Wednesday morning, brought to
you by Hoodentalcare Hooddentalcare dot com.
Speaker 4: Always a pleasure to catch up with our next guest.
Speaker 5: It is the head coach of l U basketball, Coach
Kim Moulky, good enough to join us from Sacramento this morning.
Speaker 4: Coach, We appreciate the time, thanks.
Speaker 2: Hopping on with us.
Speaker 11: Do you guys know what time it is here? I
must love y'all to get up this early on basketball,
but you know your time changed, Jill. I've been tossing
and turning every hour on the hour, and I'd look
at the box and go I hadn't been sleeping but
an hour. Oh, I got it. It's crazy. I'm just
my my time is off, wax. So it's all good,
beautiful here getting ready to go to breakfast with the
team and watch some more film and go to practice
and have a great day in California.
Speaker 5: That's right, Coaching. It is early, and we certainly do
appreciate you hopping on with us. Not going to be
a until a nine o'clock tip locally at least, you know,
for us here watching the game on Friday, and so
you know, might have to switch the DCAF coffee to
fully let it coffee on Friday, just to make sure
everybody's ready to go.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's there's what four point thirty game, which is
UCLA and then who they play in Minnesota and then
US at seven, So it'll be a late night back
home for everybody.
Speaker 4: That's okay there.
Speaker 5: You know, we'll certainly be watching love the scenes from
the p MAC over the last couple of games. So
before coach, we break down this matchup with Dook, who
you've played earlier in the year. Just kind of going
back and seeing the fans show up on Friday, certainly
showing up on Sunday. It's something we talked a lot
about last week with you. I know you had to
appreciate your team's effort, your coach's effort, and then the
fans effort as well.
Speaker 11: It was electric. It was what you hope all seniors
get to experience. Well, you hope all your players get
to experience that. But we've seen many of those nights
in the p MAC in the last five years. But
when it was or it is the absolute last game
of the season in the p MAC, and your seniors
Slase and Mama and Izzy get to remember that, it
is special, especially when it's the playoffs. And when you
put on a performance like we did. Man, you wish
you could just bottle that up and take it with
you because it was just one of those games on
both ends of the floor, defensively and offensively where you go, wow,
coach the.
Speaker 3: You certainly you play the game. You coach the game
for the wins right and for the for the team victories.
But you had a record that y'all were able to
set this past weekend. I don't know like how you
feel about records, but you scored one hundred points for
the sixteenth time, which is a Division One record sixteen
times this season, scored one hundred points, which is incredible.
Does that do anything for it?
Speaker 10: Is that?
Speaker 2: Does that? Does that make you proud? Or is it
just like, well, we gotta we we got a job
to finish here.
Speaker 11: I won't ever even think of that record. It's just
a team that scores a lot of points. Look, we
scored points against sorry teams. We scored points against meet
you know, mediocre teams, and then good teams, and did
it in the playoffs a couple of times. I'll forget
that record. I don't even think it's important. The records
I will remember are all those conference championships at Baylor,
twenty three, eleven of them in a row. The record
of being at two institutions and winning national championships, getting
to Elite eights. I don't take those kind of things
for granted that I won't remember all those points scored.
I really won't.
Speaker 5: Okay, I ain't coach. I love that, and I think
we probably all knew the answer to that question. But well,
how much will you remember playing duke.
Speaker 4: Earlier in the season.
Speaker 5: I ask it that way because, as you know, sometimes
you play teams twice in the same year, even if
they're not in your conference, and so it's all ways
the back and forth. Probably the mental gymnastics of Okay,
that was early in the season. How much do we
take from that game? How much do we take from
Duke because at that time, right, they weren't playing like
they were at the end of the season. And so
when you're putting your game plan together for that team,
how much do you go back because you do have
a game against them, and how much is maybe the
last let's say ten games.
Speaker 11: Well, you do take a lot from that game with
the understanding they are better, they have fixed some things,
but guess what, we're better as well. But you do
take things from that game. Guys, they jumped on us
like white on right. Yeah, we were down fourteen or
fifteen to nothing or whatever it was, and we came
back and won by double digits. And so yes, indeed,
you go back and you go, well, they're not going
to change who they are and what they do. They're
just gonna perfect it more. It's a well balanced team,
a team that can score a lot of points, a
team that plays tough defense. And I think think we're
the same kind of teams. It was a high scoring game,
So I would imagine you're going to see a lot
of the same things, but a little bit better version
of each team.
Speaker 3: Coach, you mentioned that you were about to get into meetings,
get into a little film studies. So Jake and I
the sport that we play, we had to be film
junkies all the time. So when you get into when
you get into prep work for a team and you
have a couple of days of prepare and get your
team ready, how much film work goes into it?
Speaker 2: For the players?
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot from the coaches standpoint, but
for the players, how much film work goes into it?
Speaker 11: I put my and y'all gonna love this.
Speaker 10: I know you will.
Speaker 11: I put myself back to when I was a player.
Don't bore me for hours and hours and hours in
the film room, because you're gonna lose me. Get to
the point. Show me the amount of film we need
to see. Show it to me. Talk to me about
a scouting report. What do we need to do individually,
what do we need to do collectively? And let's get
on the floor and let's go do it. And I've
always taken that approach with me, So let's just say initially,
here we are and we've been assigned this team, and
we have not played this team. Let's don't use Duke
or anybody we've played. Let's use Texas Tech for example.
We're gonna get in that film room and we're gonna
have it broken down in every area. They're fast breaks,
their defensive philosophy, Show how they defend, how many defenses
do they do, transition defense? Are they good at that?
You show all the little facets of the game, and
then you go over the written scout and report, and
you make them talk to you. You make them read
what each one of those players strengths and weaknesses are,
because it's the players that they're gonna have to guard.
For example, if Jada's Garden number two or whatever, the
point guard, she's got to read everything on there, and
it's not a page, it's six to eight points. And
then you tell them on the right hand side four
or five things we're going to take away when you're
guarding that young lady. And then we show them ways
to win the game. Here's what we have to do
collectively to win this basketball game. And then I would
say max maybe an hour, forty five minutes and then
you get on that floor and you do it. Then
throughout the next two or three days that you have,
you do ten fifteen minute little film sessions after breakfast
or before you know, just throw it at them or
just have it playing. Sometimes I'll have just a game
playing on the bus or on the plane, not to
bore them, but just to keep their mind on what
we're doing right now.
Speaker 5: Catching up with LSU basketball coach Can mulki here on
OTV coach when you do have success like you had
against a good Texas Tech team, a ranked basketball team,
and the score ends up being what it is, I
always love picking your brain on things like this because
you've been through every situation. Is that something where you
try to say, hey, listen, it's not going to be
the same way, This's going to be a different game.
Speaker 4: This seems going to be this, that and the other.
Speaker 5: Or do you try to keep that confidence up and
you try to say, see, when you play your game,
when you play our style, when you buy in whatever
it is, this is what you can do. How do
you handle a game where you had so much success,
do you continue to highlight that or do you try
to let them know, hey, every game's going to be different.
We got to hit reset and get ready for this game.
Speaker 11: The way I approach it is you knowledge what we
did good to get to this point from the previous game,
and then you put on that board. If what you
did yesterday still looks big to you today, then you
haven't done much today. Okay, let's erase that. Here's what
we have to do now for this opponent. And each
step of the way, you acknowledge what you did good,
you enjoyed in the moment, and then boom, we got
to get to work again.
Speaker 10: Let's go.
Speaker 3: All right, Couse, you give us a little bit of
that scouter report that you talk to your girls about.
I give us a little scouting report. Just a quick
overview of Duke's basketball team.
Speaker 11: Duke is coached by Kara Lawson. For those that don't know,
she'll be our next Olympic coach. Kara played for Pat
Summit at Tennessee one or some national championships, been on
the Olympic teams. Kara is very defensive minded, but she
has a team that man, they take off. They run
the floor as post players that you know, run the
floor hard, score a lot of points. And if you
go back to our score when we played them last.
We scored ninety something points against them, and guys, we
got down big time in their at their place, and
I thought, oh so bull Wally came off the bench
and gave us a tremendous left and spark. But yet
we expect the same kind of games. They like to
pick you up in a full court press. Well, Texas
Tech like that too, but they never really got a chance.
We burned them a couple of times, and then our
defense was so good they never could go and get
in their full court press. So Duke obviously is going
to be more offensive talent, offensively talented, I think, than
Texas Tech. And it's going to be a typical Sweet
sixteen game. And the deeper you go, the harder it is. Guys,
A lot of a lot of these teams have a
lot of older players, experienced players, seniors and even nowadays
like Texas Tech, they have experience transfers. And what do
I mean by experience, People who've played at this level
that are either junior and seniors. So we've got experienced
players that we sure rely on our young ones as well.
Speaker 4: Coach Kim Milk, you good enough to join us from Sacramento.
Speaker 2: Coach.
Speaker 4: We can't think enough.
Speaker 5: We appreciate you changing the time and uh, you know,
still staying on Wednesday with us. We look forward to
it every single week. Best of luck coming up on Friday.
We're certainly all going to be watching here in ban Rouge.
Speaker 11: God take care and have a great day, all.
Speaker 4: Right, you as well. Kim Milky good enough to join
us here on O TV with Jake and the other guy.
Speaker 2: It's not the other guy. My name is.
Speaker 7: Still a little upside at Oscar.
Speaker 4: I mean like if it was like the video.
Speaker 5: If it was the off season, then yeah, probably, but
you know, just focus on you know, sweet sixteen. So
last time that Matt asked her a question that nobody
really understood and went down to Texas.
Speaker 3: We talked about it, we thought about it. You made
it a good point. He won two ways go really
good or really bad.
Speaker 4: I felt like between.
Speaker 9: Somebody messaged me, yeah, last week when we were discussing
it on air, and they said that y'all were being
super beta about it.
Speaker 8: What do you mean what what part like that y'all
wouldn't ask her.
Speaker 5: If it was a different time of the year. But
I want I want coach focused on the main thing.
The main thing is the main thing right now, and
it wouldn't be my place to ask her. She knows
who I am.
Speaker 2: It's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 8: She's like, yeah, Jake, that's why she doesn't remember your.
Speaker 4: Name or Hester because she calls me by my last name.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hester, And.
Speaker 7: I got a lump in my throat, Hester, and I
feel like someone else was there.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's right, right, it could have gone one of
two ways. Odds are it's been good? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but but like.
Speaker 2: H sir, yeah, are you or me?
Speaker 4: Or all right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 5: I do want to, like, you know, quickly like the
worst kept secret and batteries talk about l shu's men's
basketball situation. Yeah, because we do need to talk about it.
And again it is the worst kept secret and the
worst kept secret, and we all know the deal.
Speaker 8: Do you have a general idea of it?
Speaker 2: A general idea?
Speaker 4: We'll talk about it when we come back on OTV.
Speaker 7: Off the bench, all right, go to.
Speaker 5: Russell Pools dot com, Russell pool Company. It is the
place that is going to give you your dream pool
in your backyard. When you go to Russell Pols dot com.
You can check out a gallery of work. You can
check out pools they've done here in Louisiana and maybe
you find something that you didn't have on your dream
pools and now you want to add to your dream pool. Also,
you can check out the financing options on the homepage. Also,
remember it is the one stop shot. It is the
construction part of your pool. It's the build of your pool,

also afterwards, it's the maintenance of your pool.
Speaker 2: Over at Russell Pools dot com. Oh my god, they
are amazing. Over at Russell Pools the best pool company
in Louisiana. So if you are thinking about a pre project,
if you've been kind of putting it off, like like
like our family, I'm a great example, Like we've been
wanting to do this pool for a couple of years.
We just keep putting it off.
Speaker 3: I guess what, My kids keep getting older and older,
so it's like we have got to start this product.
Speaker 2: Started talking to them. It's incredible.
Speaker 3: You can take any dream and any design, any thought
of a pool. They can draw it with their landscape
architects on staff over there. They can design it, they
can maintain it, they can build, they can do everything.
Russell Pools dot Com not.
Speaker 2: Against rappers, but we are against those.

Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about this LSU men's basketball situation.
Speaker 2: On three.
Speaker 4: They just put out a post.
Speaker 5: Lsuhead basketball coach Matt mcmnon's future is unclear. And when
I said it's like the worst kept secret in Matton Rouge,
we all know like the April first and when.
Speaker 4: The buyout lowers, YadA, YadA, yadda.
Speaker 5: We also know Will Wade is somebody that there's so
many people that either we're here or have come here
that have been with Wade, other places alive McNeice are
now here that won't Will weigh to, you know, be
the next basketball coach. I think that is something that
everybody can agree on, like we all know that information.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: Why it's unclear is probably because like there's dollars and
cents to this deal and you pass the hat and
you're like making some calls, and I think over the
next I would say two days, three days, you'll probably
have a clear answer because you're going to see does
somebody want to wait outuntil April first for the buyouts
to go down. That's for multiple buyouts, not just the
guy that's here, or are you going to go ahead
and pull the trigger. So I think you'll know something
honestly in the next couple of days. And if it's
not Will Wade, then I think Matt McMahon probably comes
back if Will Wade wants to come here again, and
they can make it make sense and they can get
the donations in the hat.
Speaker 2: So we're boom or bust.
Speaker 4: That's what it feels like.
Speaker 2: So either gonna be basketball fans or not? Is that
what we're sayings?
Speaker 5: So what it feels like too, And look that and
I know it's kind of bluntly put, but that's the
way it is. And again, most of you already knew
this information. It's been out there for a while and
so any But it's like I've been told by sources.
Speaker 4: No, everybody knows.
Speaker 2: They didn't break it, that Will Wade might come.
Speaker 5: Everybody knows the April first deadline and Matt's they didn't,
and Will's buy out at nc State change on April
the first.
Speaker 2: People already knew that Will Waide might come, depending on
if he gets a bunch of money.
Speaker 5: Well, if you can buy out their basketball coach and
also buy out his contract at nc State and then
give give him the money track and give him money
for a staff. How many people care about l SU basketball?
How many people with deep pockets care about LU basketball?
It's easily a simple math of it. I think it's like,
fool me once, shame when you fool me twice, shame
on me.
Speaker 4: However, actually, George w Bus said, well, you're not gonna twice.
Speaker 8: But Likenessee, I just what I've learned.
Speaker 3: You fooled me during football. Yeah, you're not gonna fool
me again. If LSU wants the money, they're gonna find
the money. That's how what we have learned.
Speaker 9: It's also like whenever the Lane Kiff and stuff was
start a really really ramp up where there's smoke, there's fire,
you know, and for a really long time people were
in denial about it, about Lane Kiffin, and then inside,
like the old Miss insiders started to kind of like
change their tune a little bit. N C State journalists
and people that cover and see stayed over there are
all basically like, yeah.
Speaker 8: It's happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So once they start to like kind of change their tune,
because last week they were adamant.
Speaker 8: They were like, no, he's staying here. He loves Raleigh.
He like his wife's family is an hour down the road. Whatever.
Where there's smoke, there's fire for me.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing. It's that that is what is happening.
You can everybody can connect the dots. There's a price
tag and will wait, we'll come for a price tag. Well,
LSU is making calls to the people that could potentially
pay and say, hey, do you want to do this
or not.
Speaker 2: So the waiting game is waiting on those.
Speaker 4: Too, Like, you know, they got to get all the
buyout money. They got to get will Wags money, staff money.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: They are calling people with the they're calling the folks
that would write those checks and saying do you want
to do this or not? Do you want to do
this or not? And if they get enough yeses, then
they do it. So you have any of those people,
well we want.
Speaker 4: It was twenty and fourteen this year, made it to
the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 5: The year before NC State was twelve and nineteen and
five and fifteen in the ACC. So certainly turned around
that program. So look again April first, that's a day
to pay attention to. But this could happen in the
next forty eight to seventy two hours. If it does
go down, all right, we'll see tomorrow. We love you,
We thank you, Enjoy the rest of the day.
Speaker 2: Yesday.
Speaker 5: Go to America mopter bench. All right, go to Rolses
dot com as well, go to Rouses dot com. When
