It's made a lot of conversation about it. 35 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.560 It means a lot. You know, whoever wins this game 36 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.359 has got in inside track to the to the league championship. 37 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.760 Right right, which of course you never would have thought 38 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.760 that with Arizona a couple of months ago. Maybe you're 39 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.560 thinking maybe fifth, lucky, maybe fourth, But now they have 40 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.920 a chance to win it, win it all with let 41 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.480 me tell you this, Jay, and you you would agree 42 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.239 the Gauntlet has yet to happen, and it begins now, 43 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.319 right right, Well. 44 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.480 Maybe it begin Tuesday. Well yeah, but you. 45 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.200 Know it's funny because you know the people that I 46 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.920 that I talked to you, and you know you know who. 47 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.439 The suspects are. Now I want you to change those people. 48 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.640 You know, people are upset to got beat for Tuesday night, 49 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.560 And I'm like, why are we upset. 50 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.439 Well, you know, they played like they played terrible. 51 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.519 They should well, they played bad because the other team 52 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:08.439 made them play bad. 53 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.560 They lost a road game. 54 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.400 Think about it, they played you know, they did a 55 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.479 bunch of dumb things. If they did, as I put it, 56 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.439 they did about seventy dumb things, and if they had 57 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.960 done sixty seven dumb things, they win the game. 58 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:22.800 I said. 59 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.560 On top of it, Okay, just think back four and 60 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.840 five coming out of conference play. If I said, okay, 61 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.280 they're going to be eleven and two in the conference, 62 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.520 do you sign up for that? And I'm like and 63 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.319 they're like, yeah, I said, you would have signed up 64 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.520 for nine and four, nine and three. You know, they're 65 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.599 eleven and two in the league and they're playing Houston 66 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.919 this weekend for to take the lead in the conference. 67 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.319 I said, what are you upset about? 68 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.479 First of all, those guys aren't realistic, and I'm surprised aren't. 69 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.599 Oh no, they're not. That was not a surprise that 70 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.439 they lost. Both teams played horribly, but actually both teams 71 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.520 shot poorly. Uh, Kansas State was lucky to win the game. 72 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:07.800 Arizona had a chance, but they could have easily lost 73 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.680 the game, and they did. 74 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.960 Yeah, well, full disclosure. Okay, I was pissed off Tuesday 75 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.080 night at the end of the game too, because because 76 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.039 I thought, just make about three fewer mistakes and you 77 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:17.840 win this game. 78 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.400 Well, right, Kansas is probably saying Kansas State is probably 79 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.840 saying the same thing. H you go one for nineteen Yeah, 80 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.479 well for nineteen, two for twenty two. 81 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.039 Make one three pointer? Right, well, two three pointers and 82 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:28.599 you win the game. 83 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.759 Oh hit more for Kansas States. I hit some tree 84 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.080 throws and you're not even in the or worried about or. 85 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.000 Don't let that little guy with the headband go off 86 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:36.680 for twenty four? 87 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.120 When is when is it? Coverage is ten? You know? 88 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.360 And then I said, I said exactly what I just 89 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.599 said to myself. 90 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.159 Wait, why are you pissed off. 91 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.439 When they're you know, they're in second place in the 92 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.080 league and there's a huge game coming up this week. 93 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.479 Yeah, with a chance to get up there. 94 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.199 It's understandable from the from the crowd that you're with, 95 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.719 and uh, they had an opportunity. They're right there. It 96 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.000 didn't happen, and you're kind of not resting on you. 97 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.280 You hope that it continues. Yeah, we've seen this game 98 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.520 un a thousand You've seen in a thousand games, a 99 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.840 thousand thousand times. I have to now here comes the 100 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.240 funny thing that was little Basketball. Lose that game Saturday, 101 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.480 turn around. Play a team that you don't shouldn't beat 102 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.680 at home, but. 103 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.600 You probably will be but you could and you and 104 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.360 you have you beat them pretty good here, you know. 105 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.199 So at the bottom line, Steve, and this is you know, 106 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.360 goes back to when we found out that they were 107 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.759 for sure going into the Big twelve. There's a lot 108 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.959 of games, yeah, that aren't gimmes unlike the PAC twelve. Sure, sure, 109 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.279 you know, think about think about how much fun we're 110 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.360 having at Michale this year. Yeah, how many good how 111 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.800 many good Pac twelve home games were there each year? 112 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.040 Three? 113 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.240 One, maybe two? 114 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.000 Yeah, you know, if Oregon was good and if U 115 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.319 see La was good, and then maybe one other team 116 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:01.600 was good occasionally, but generally of two really good games. 117 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.040 And at the end of the day, those didn't really 118 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:05.399 prepare you for what was ahead. 119 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.160 Right and here, every game, yeah is a fun game. Yeah, 120 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.480 it's a great game game, even. 121 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.160 From the teams that look Texas Tech, who would issue 122 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.680 almost beat Texas Tech and Texas Tate came here, gave 123 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.439 Arizona a hell of a game, and it was a 124 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.800 fun game to watch, probably the fun most fun game 125 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.680 until Iowa State or you know whatever, all those games. So, 126 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.439 but now moving forward, they play Houston tomorrow. Uh, let 127 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.319 me just kind of go through the schedule before we 128 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.600 start the day. Tommy spoke today. We might have some 129 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.040 some of his stuff from his press conference. Later at 130 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.920 the three seventeen, three eighteen hour, we're gonna have Joseph 131 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.279 Dwarte from the Houston Chronicle. He covers the Houston Cougars 132 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.399 for that paper. And then at three four seventeen, we're 133 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.720 gonna have our buddy friand Forschila, who was on the 134 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.399 show about three weeks ago talking about the game. He's 135 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.399 in town to do the game, and he's the big 136 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.839 Big twelve kind of like he follows it. He follows it, 137 00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.800 he covers it, and he's here for the big game. 138 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.800 And I you know, he'll give us a national perspective. Right, 139 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.279 what do people think of Arizona. 140 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.639 I still think that they're undervalued right now because of 141 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.279 that four and five. 142 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.399 I totally agree with you. They well going into the game. 143 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.800 And Henry might may may not agree with this, but 144 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.600 they are what thirteen and one? Yeah, conservative the hottest 145 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.680 team in the country at the time. Setback as the setback, right, yeah, 146 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.079 but still what thirteen and two in the least thirteen. 147 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.120 So we'll see, Yeah, I mean, one of the hottest 148 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.439 teams in the country. Still it's Arizona. You're thirteen and one, 149 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.800 you had won thirteen of your last fourteen games, and 150 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.199 you still couldn't get into the top ten in a 151 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.120 great conference. 152 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.519 Right, Well, they moved up. The funny thing, Lonardi has 153 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:41.920 him a three. Right. 154 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.959 I would have never thought them being the three, maybe 155 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.800 four or five tops. But guess what, there's still a 156 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.639 month left in this crazy, crazy tough schedule. 157 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:50.079 Well there is. 158 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.639 And looking at the schedule they got as you mentioned, 159 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.480 I mean talk about they got to jump on the 160 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.360 pointy probably going to jump on a plane tomorrow, right 161 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.240 and go to go to uh Waco for Baylor today Saturday. 162 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.079 Maybe they'll maybe they'll fly in flying Sunday. You know, 163 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.000 they got Bay They got Baylor on Monday, which is 164 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.560 gonna be a that's gonna be a war because Baylor's 165 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.079 pissed off it. 166 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:09.920 They came here and got there. 167 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:11.879 There's tough. Right. 168 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.319 Then you got b Yu coming here. Okay, right, you 169 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.319 know you think you should win that because of how 170 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.040 you handled them over there. You got Utah coming here, 171 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.439 all right, you should take that. 172 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.639 Let's go, let's go three, let's go two and one 173 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:24.720 or three, you know, yeah. 174 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:25.240 Then you got to go. 175 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.160 Then you've got to go to Iowa State. Okay, folks, 176 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.639 if you count that as. 177 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.600 A loss right now, yes, and if they get a 178 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.560 win out of that, great, but be ready, be ready. 179 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:37.920 For them to lose that game. Sure, and it may 180 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:39.120 not even be pretty. Right. 181 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.680 Then they got a s U gear and then they 182 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.800 go to Kansas. 183 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.879 So I think that's five and two, four and two, uh, 184 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.720 could be four and three. Yeah, with those it's tough. 185 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.680 And then and then you have the pack then you 186 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:50.040 have to be. 187 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.519 Then you have a big tough turn. But look, you 188 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.600 know again you mentioned what a SU did. The Texas 189 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.120 Tech they took, they took them to overtime. Now you knew, 190 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.839 you know, the people I was talking to on our thread, 191 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.160 we knew they were gonna blow the game. We knew, 192 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:03.600 and she was going to lose that game. There was 193 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.439 no doubt. It was just a matter of you know, 194 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:12.800 when when right. But you know, a sun, don't underestimate Asu. 195 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.639 They've got guys who if they all play together, they'll 196 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:16.120 play well. 197 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.639 At the same time, they can be too. 198 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.240 In fact, they gave Arizona a tough run for like 199 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.000 thirty eight minutes until they didn't you, until they umploded. 200 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.600 Yeah, so there's a lot left, there's a lot left 201 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.680 to go, a lot of season left, and there's some 202 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:31.360 losses out there left. 203 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.480 See here's the issue. And you're a fan, and I'm 204 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.600 gonna get on you guys who are fans. So they 205 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.679 go four and five, people were, oh the world is ending, right, 206 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.000 Oh the world is ending. Week suck and we're not 207 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.279 even gonna make the tournament. Then they go thirteen and one, Oh, 208 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.960 we're the stuff. And then if I could cuss, I would. 209 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.279 We're the stuff because Arizona fans can't handle prosperity because 210 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.840 either there's total misery or no one's going to beat us. 211 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.279 Well, they got to the point where they think they 212 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:56.039 should never lose. 213 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.080 Well, that's and that's the problem. Thank you for my point, 214 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.279 because that's what that's how they feel. They should have 215 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.840 never lost to Kansas State because well, we're Arizona and 216 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.240 we you know, have we done this? 217 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.759 Were better than them? Well, you weren't. 218 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:08.600 You know, all of. 219 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:13.320 These teams again, shape shake away, all those Pac twelve cobwebs. 220 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.320 You know, that's what they're thinking. 221 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.679 In any given season, there were maybe two teams who 222 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.440 could beat Arizona that if Arizona lost, it's because Arizona 223 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.360 played or and we saw that and the other team 224 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:27.879 played great. 225 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.320 We saw that, and there were some of those. 226 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.879 But in terms of two teams that were kind of 227 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.799 in Arizona's neighborhood, there were only. 228 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.360 A couple each year. There's like eight of them in 229 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.200 the Big twelve. Especially, the only. 230 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.120 Ones that really aren't are the three that came from 231 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:49.799 the Pac twelve and then maybe Cincinnati. But Cincinnati has 232 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.000 been ranked this year. TCU is not horrible, you know, 233 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.039 b YU is not horrible. So there's a bunch of 234 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.399 really good teams that you have to face up again. 235 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.559 You know, West virgin good. 236 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.480 I mean, they might make the tournament. Yeah, so we'll 237 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.399 see what happens. It all begins tomorrow for the rest 238 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:06.799 of these. 239 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.879 I'm excited, Steve. This has been fun. 240 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.399 You know, this has been really fun, and we don't 241 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.879 get to see Kansas here. Yeah, but even you know, 242 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.240 going through the football season and you know, playing all 243 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:22.039 these different teams, the football programs in the Big twelve 244 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:22.759 don't get you. 245 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.720 Jumping up and done right. You know, they're kind of 246 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:27.080 they're good. 247 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.159 I'm not saying they're not any good, but they don't 248 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.720 light you up in football. 249 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.120 You got into this league for. But you get into basketball. 250 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:38.840 And when you've got Kansas, Baylor, Houston, Texas Tech, Kansas State, 251 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.240 even West Virginia this year. You know, Oklahoma State, which 252 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.799 isn't great this year, but they've been good in the past. 253 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.399 There are so many teams that every game is fun 254 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:50.360 because you just don't know. 255 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.519 So let me talk to you. We had Dave silver 256 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.240 in yesterday. We had a call about dolor Or, so 257 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.360 I will talk about some of that with Tommy. Let 258 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.399 me say this to you, Okay, so we we nor 259 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.639 only have like a seven to eight man rotation, right, 260 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.000 he's no more and maybe if you're pushing in with Martinez. Okay, 261 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.919 so you're playing with with I said yesterday with almost 262 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.519 a hand behind. 263 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:15.480 No, Well it's eight with with kJ kJ Henry and 264 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.279 townsend back. 265 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.399 So you're playing with them. But delarso you're not getting 266 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.480 very much from Townson. You're not getting much from him. 267 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.559 You're getting sporadic play from kleb Kg at times, you 268 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.559 know what I'm saying. So you're playing with one hand 269 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.000 behind your back on a couple of dudes, and they're 270 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.720 still doing this right. The problem is as we get 271 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.159 to the nitty gritty, you can't do that anymore. You 272 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.039 can't afford that anymore. And the problem is they've done 273 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.639 it through twenty games. How is it going to change? 274 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.519 I don't know, because you look at this and you 275 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.639 think about the grind once once the once the conference 276 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.440 tournament starts, and then the pressure and the grind of 277 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.759 the NCAA tournament, and you don't see a team that 278 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.799 has the pieces to go, oh, you know, really far. 279 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.720 You know people who have asked me, he said, how 280 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.720 far do you think to get in the nc double A. Well, 281 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.240 first of all, it's going to depend on how they 282 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.240 look coming out of the out of the out of 283 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.080 the conference tournament, and then if they don't have any 284 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.360 more injuries and stuff like that. I said, But to 285 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.799 me today, they're a sweet sixteen team. I think they 286 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:20.600 should win the first. 287 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.039 Team at the minimum. The thing is who knows who 288 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:23.759 they're going to show up. 289 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:25.799 But right, you know, do you run up in the 290 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:27.919 second round, do you're not up against somebody that has 291 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.960 something that you don't and they beat you, or do 292 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.159 you get a run where you just got you know, 293 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.120 maybe a high seed gets beat and now you're playing 294 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.159 fifteen in the second round instead of I mean in 295 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:41.240 the third round or whatever. 296 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.639 Right, so it all depends. But if you go just 297 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.480 you know how things should go with. 298 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.639 Seeds and stuff like that, I think there's still no 299 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.399 better than a sweet sixteen team right now. I just 300 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.679 don't see that the level in terms of good because 301 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.000 we're going to go up to this question in terms 302 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.600 of good and you can say very good, blah blah. 303 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.120 Blah, how good are they? Out of ten? There's seven 304 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.919 and half. I'm at seven. I'm not sold yet. And 305 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:09.919 I and people ask me how good are they? I said, 306 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:11.759 they're not They're not that great. What do you mean 307 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.240 look at them? I said, there's still issues. 308 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.399 Yeah, because on any day, Caleb Love can go two 309 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:22.639 for twenty, KJJ Lewis can turn the ball over ten times. 310 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.559 Orso can hit a shot. 311 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.639 I mean, you we keep seeing Tobyo Waka doing all 312 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:31.240 these great things. But what if there's a game that 313 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.399 he can't he runs up against it in a matchup 314 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.080 that he can't do the things he's been doing. 315 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.080 How many times have we seen all three happen at 316 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.759 that same right? Right? And it could happen March twenty first. 317 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.080 Right, And on the other hand, they could they could 318 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.799 all come out and get on a tear and make 319 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.240 a run. 320 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.720 Yeah yeah, maybe maybe not right, maybe not. 321 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:52.519 No, we gotta go. 322 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.519 We're gonna get a hold of Joseph dwart it from 323 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.919 the Houston creditle, get the Houston side of it and 324 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.799 see what's going on. 325 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:04.200 Now your chance to win one thousand dollars.
