26
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 2>they played their best game of the year to me, Yeah,

27
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you know, it's interesting because I think we

28
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 2>said that last week too, uh.

29
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 4>The year.

30
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>And you read me? I mean you only did that

31
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>is me. Yeah, I look for typos.

32
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you he does because I get him.

33
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 3>He is my editor, which I'm greatly appreciative. Every writer

34
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>needs an editor. And thank you for you know, great story.

35
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>But but yeah, however, how did you you know how

36
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 3>was the play link?

37
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 4>No?

38
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I said that in b YU last week.

39
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Great and I thought that was a great game on

40
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 3>the road against a pretty good team.

41
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>And then they upped it. Yeah, yeah, no, I think

42
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that they definitely did. I think that their their defense

43
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>uh there there rebounding, which had been pretty suspect. Uh,

44
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>their defense in the rebounding was outstanding. Yeah.

45
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 3>You haven't seen too many games, but you have seen

46
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of games, but you haven't seen a lot

47
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 3>of games in person like this.

48
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Juan, And.

49
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna say this, I'm trying to see Uh give me,

50
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 3>give me, uh give me calebs Love's best game, just

51
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 3>stop top your head, best game since he's been here.

52
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not sure if I could do that. I

53
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>know it's it's hard. He's had some thirty three point games. Yeah,

54
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 2>organ was.

55
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 3>That memorable, but I mean we can't even remember it now, right, No,

56
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 3>let me say something. I won't forget the day Henry

57
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 3>Vsar almost collapsed and he was fantastic. You know what

58
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying. Yeah, he was, he was great, He was beat.

59
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 3>He looked like I could just take a nap for

60
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>like a week.

61
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's one of those things where he kind of

62
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>looked like he sensed he could take over this game,

63
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and he kind of did. He did. There was there

64
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>were portions of that game that he took over.

65
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 3>It was like in both it was like me walking

66
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 3>up eight Mountain and you know, three quarters away and

67
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 3>I've never gone three courts away. It just being Jolie said,

68
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 3>what the hell am I doing here? I'm going to

69
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>go back home, but he continued to walk.

70
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>He did. He didn't you see that he was almost

71
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>ready to fall down. You were there, he was, I didn't,

72
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was.

73
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 5>I was preoccupied writing two different stories and tweets and

74
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 5>memes and we'll.

75
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Get to that in a little bit. But he was

76
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>to me, he was he was, he was winded, but boy,

77
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I tell you what, it was one of those things

78
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>where he you could tell that he sensed that he

79
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>was going to be a pivotal player in this game,

80
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>and he was. And he came up.

81
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 3>Big walking shots, having done in the court, shooting three

82
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 3>and guess what if he's one A, Waka was one

83
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 3>B because Waka was fantastic too.

84
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that. That's what I'm saying. On the boards.

85
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>They were really playing them together, and I know that

86
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 2>that was the one of the big storylines, like, no,

87
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 2>were they ever going to play them together? They ever

88
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna play that. I don't know what he was waiting

89
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>at for, uh. I know it was like, hey, when

90
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the gows to get hurt, it's you know, it's like going, hey,

91
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>welcome to the ffeeded.

92
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 3>It'd been fefeeded, actually very much. But he was like

93
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 3>the I guess the woman with a chess era cat.

94
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here we go, our chance, here's our chance. Now's

95
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>our chance. But it was it was it was his chance.

96
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 2>And then they went in there and they absolutely dominated

97
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the glass against the team that is owned the pretty

98
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>owned him on the glass in in uh in Lubbock.

99
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>The it was, Yeah, it was really something I will

100
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>say that you know, and and I and I commented

101
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>on your article. Uh if if you could imagine a

102
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the year writing an article saying

103
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>that we beat one of the top teams in the

104
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Big Twelve this late in the season. Uh, and never

105
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>once mentioning Caleblove's name. Uh, I didn't, Yeah, you didn't.

106
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>You didn't mention And I went through it a couple

107
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>of times, and it's like, and it is true. It

108
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>was one of those things where it's like I do

109
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>believe Caleb was was pressing. There was that one sequence

110
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>where uh, we just kept getting in the offensive rebound,

111
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>kicking it out. Caleb, you know, would throw it up

112
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 2>again and drive to the basket, and throw it up

113
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and then drive to the basket. We had hit three

114
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe four shots in a row that looked like he

115
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>was just like going, I just gotta make one of these.

116
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 3>It's funny because in the final moments, final two three minutes,

117
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 3>I guess.

118
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh it was on up by eight maybe and uh.

119
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 3>They got an offensive rebound. They kicked it to your example,

120
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 3>to to Caleb, and they could just pull the back.

121
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 3>They could have pulled it back right, They're gonna have

122
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 3>to follow him anyway. But he shot it with the

123
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 3>shot clock maybe five seconds in. Yeah, and they could

124
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 3>just pull it back and waste another thing. Caleb is

125
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 3>never gonna do that. Caleb's gonna get Caleb's stuff. He

126
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 3>was open to his credit, but.

127
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 2>You yeah, your time, you're right, Yeah, And he's done

128
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>that over and over again. I did that last year.

129
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>We lost a couple league games, or games got a

130
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>little tighter when it was one of those seas. Its

131
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>like we gotta we gotta lead late and Caleb's throwing

132
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>it up. You know, bring it and place your voice

133
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 2>on the phone. So let's call it. Get it good. Hello,

134
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 2>you're on the air. Nine the ball? Who's this?

135
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 6>Hey, David John Jones? How you don't buy ten?

136
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>John? What do you got?

137
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 6>You know?

138
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>So a couple of things.

139
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 6>First of all, when you play good defense and you

140
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 6>rebound the ball and you make free throws, it gives

141
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 6>you a chance to win a lot of basketball games.

142
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely, And when you are.

143
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 6>In a very competitive league, it really does come down

144
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 6>or in the sweet sixteen. It comes down to the

145
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 6>little things, and it comes down to making free throws.

146
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 6>You know, I loved Ballo, but I didn't feel like

147
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 6>you could win a championship with a guy that you

148
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 6>either couldn't play late or you couldn't count on to

149
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 6>make free throws. And right now, you know, watching the

150
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 6>team the star. When I watched him the first two years,

151
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 6>he was a step step and a half slow on defense.

152
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 6>He couldn't rotate, and so you weren't able to challenge shots.

153
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 6>And because he was late, that's why he to me,

154
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.279
<v Speaker 6>he wasn't getting playing time. You know, now he's anticipating better,

155
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 6>he's in position, and he's a rim protector, and he's

156
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 6>playing he's playing like a dog.

157
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

158
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 6>And when you have that, that to me the whole team.

159
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 6>The resurgence of the team this year has been really

160
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 6>contingent on on the play of our big guys, you know,

161
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 6>and as far as the conference goes, what's impressed me,

162
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 6>to be honest with you guys, is watching the physicality

163
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 6>of our team. You know, I think when you listen

164
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 6>like a fran Priscilla, you listen to whomever they thought

165
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 6>we were going to get exposed for being soft coming

166
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 6>from the week Pat twelve and watch us dominate physical games.

167
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 6>It's pretty impressive.

168
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, John, come on, realistically, I know you watched a

169
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of games.

170
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 2>You've been around a long time. Didn't you think the

171
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>same thing.

172
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 6>No, to be honest with you, like I saw, there's

173
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 6>what I noticed when he had Kerr, Krisa and the Europeans,

174
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 6>we were soft. And when we when we played like

175
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 6>Houston in the tournament, we got exposed for being soft.

176
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 6>And I feel like when he brought in Jayden and

177
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 6>kJ Lewis you know, love loves an enigma man like

178
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 6>to what What what I saw is that we can

179
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 6>win games in spite of love and not that he

180
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 6>has to play well for us to win that collectively

181
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 6>we're getting. We're getting good effort from a walk Waker

182
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 6>is playing like a he's playing great. Carter Bryant is challenging.

183
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 7>No.

184
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 6>To be honest with you, Steve, like I thought that

185
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 6>we addressed getting tougher at the guards, and that's where.

186
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>We were getting beat.

187
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 6>Like Kerr wouldn't be able to stack up against text

188
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 6>attach he would have gotten beating like a drum. The

189
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.480
<v Speaker 6>entire game. Number three would have went by him all game.

190
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 6>And so to me, like, I feel like we're in

191
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.399
<v Speaker 6>a better position to defend than we've been in a

192
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 6>long time, and playing in this conference. You know, we'll

193
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 6>find out where we're at against Houston, but we're going

194
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 6>toe to toe against you know, very physical teams.

195
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 2>And we're going to blow for blow with them.

196
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 6>And that that's what's impressed me the most with this

197
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 6>team out of everything. That and and VS are taking

198
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 6>a huge step forward.

199
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>John, I think I think you hit the nail and

200
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>headed when you said the word confidence. Okay, these guys,

201
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>especially when you're talking about VS. Are he goes out

202
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 2>there and he's playing with confidence, and it's like just

203
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>turned the game around. I mean, he's out there, can

204
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>make it. Everybody's yeah, yeah, they have, And I think

205
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it again with John, you know, agreeing

206
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>with John said is like going they're doing it. They're

207
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 2>looking they've been looking at Caleb, they've been looking at

208
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>him to be the one. They realize, Looksten, we can

209
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 2>do this too. And I think they're playing with a

210
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>lot more confidence making a difference. Okay, we got to go.

211
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 3>Thanks man, Thanks Thanks John, Thanks yeah, we agree.

212
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah.

213
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 5>I think I think, like we said, confidence is what's

214
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.559
<v Speaker 5>what's helping this team right now. And they they even

215
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 5>if they're down ten early or ten ten midway through

216
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 5>the game, they don't look phazed at all right now.

217
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 3>But they haven't been I mean, they haven't been ten.

218
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 3>They haven't been down. I think we'll know tomorrow. Here's

219
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 3>my thing, and I'll be totally honest and transparent with me.

220
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 3>I haven't been I hadn't been impressed is not the word.

221
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I think they just hadn't played anybody for a while

222
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.159
<v Speaker 3>here in this in this streak. Well, they beat Baylor,

223
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.879
<v Speaker 3>so that was okay, that was a guy. And but

224
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 3>they beat them at home it was like asterisk okay.

225
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 3>And then they then they went on the road and

226
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 3>they beat buy U.

227
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

228
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I thought they'd lose that game. I think, did you say, yeah, okay,

229
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 3>So so they win. I'm thinking, okay, maybe I've been

230
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 3>a little you know, skewed here. And then they played

231
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Texas Tech. I thought they would win. In fact, I

232
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 3>thought they would win by bird ten and and I've

233
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 3>told it on the show, I think, and and then

234
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.120
<v Speaker 3>but how they beat them, it was it was great

235
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.799
<v Speaker 3>because they played physical and they didn't get you know,

236
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 3>they get punched, and they'd come back and it was

237
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.399
<v Speaker 3>very impressive. So I've gone from maybe a four believer

238
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 3>to like a seven believer. Now they played tomorrow, Even

239
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 3>if they win or lose, it's tough to win on

240
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 3>the road.

241
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll stay at seven. And if they beat.

242
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 3>Houston at home, okay, maybe an eight because Houston's good.

243
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.799
<v Speaker 3>But guess where the game is. That's here in the

244
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 3>security blanket of Michael. But but that shouldn't excuse me.

245
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 3>So even if they played well or whatever, eight and

246
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>then guess what happens. We're gonna turn to March here

247
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>pretty quick. All bets are off, baby, yeah, off, Yeah.

248
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's all one and done because oh, we

249
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 3>beat Houston or we beat what does that mean?

250
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, doesn't mean it.

251
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Last year when they were beating people like crazy when

252
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:47.919
<v Speaker 3>they came to Pleasant, what.

253
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Did it mean? Not a damn thing. Yeah, but you

254
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 2>know that. The other thing, I think that they were

255
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>beating a lot of nobody's in the packast last year. Yeah,

256
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>last year they were. Yeah, I think they're beating somebody's.

257
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that they're now I think there are people there.

258
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>I think the big twelves are going to have some

259
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 2>teams that are gonna win some games in the tournament.

260
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Well didn't you think this when we started the season

261
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 3>watching these guys and there were four or five or whatever,

262
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 3>And we said it on nauseum with Bruce and everybody

263
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.679
<v Speaker 3>else that at some point or no, no, entering into

264
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 3>the conference was going to be a perfect remedy for

265
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 3>being tougher later on. Guess what, Well, sure, and it's happening.

266
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 3>It is because it has to happen.

267
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Right right, You're not gonna get through this, you know,

268
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and and and not be tougher. Right, Okay, you don't

269
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>get punched in the mouth in the in the PAC twelve.

270
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, everyone pats themselves on the back in the

271
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve and then you get and you get done.

272
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>But in this conference you're gonna get punching them mouth

273
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 2>all the time. You got to keep doing it.

274
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.919
<v Speaker 3>And and you see it when you're not tweeting and

275
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 3>you're up right, how much the refs let it go?

276
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>They do, yeah, which is which is a good thing. Yeah,

277
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, yeah, because they will they're not gonna try

278
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and follow people wish you on the cherry. You know,

279
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>you use a two shot foul and you get the

280
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>ball back. Yeah. Here it's like play yeah exactly, Yeah,

281
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, no blood, no foul. Yeah. But I will

282
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>tell you the difference. There's a definitely the difference between this,

283
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously a difference between this team at four

284
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and five and then what they are now. Oh yeah, yeah,

285
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:19.919
<v Speaker 2>And I think I think what it was, and I think,

286
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mentioned it before, but it's like I

287
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>think at four and five, this team was like looking

288
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 2>at Caleb, you know, they were standing there looking at

289
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Caleb to do something. Yeah, And then I think not

290
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>so much that they're like going, well, we don't need Caleb.

291
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>They absolutely need Caleb, Okay, but there are other people

292
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that are like, hey, i'm pretty good too, Yeah, and

293
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.279
<v Speaker 2>if we play together, then we're gonna be pretty good.

294
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 3>Hey, we're gotta go. We gotta go to Brick. We're

295
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna have Arnie Green from the Topeka Paper. Yeah, this

296
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 3>is gonna be in cover. Kansas State has been partly

297
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.519
<v Speaker 3>covering the team for a long time. See what's expecting

298
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.840

429
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.000

<v Speaker 4>How are you?

431
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.680
<v Speaker 3>We're doing fine. Thanks for joining us. Let me ask

432
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.200
<v Speaker 3>you a quick question just for perspective. How long have

433
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:28.319
<v Speaker 3>you covered Kansas State and the league?

434
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.640
<v Speaker 18>Uh, actually sort of off and on since nineteen ninety eight,

435
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 18>but the last pretty much full time in the last

436
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 18>five years.

437
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.559
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so you I asked because you're a Caju veteran

438
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 3>of just what goes on in the league. And we

439
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 3>all know because we've seen from afar it's a great

440
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.680
<v Speaker 3>basketball league, of physical basketball league, and it's nothing's really

441
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 3>changed from our end because it's exactly that.

442
00:20:55.359 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I had even more good team with Arizona and

443
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 18>obviously Houston last year and and pretty much every all

444
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 18>of them that they've added our quality teams. So it's

445
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 18>done nothing but made the league stronger.

446
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.920
<v Speaker 3>I think what's been what's been the rising the success

447
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 3>of Kansas State lately?

448
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:20.079
<v Speaker 15>If I have in a row, well, UH.

449
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Speaker 18>I kind of looked into those numbers because I was

450
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.440
<v Speaker 18>I was kind of curious myself because this is kind

451
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 18>of the team I think people envisioned when at the

452
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 18>start of the season there was a lot of talent,

453
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.599
<v Speaker 18>but they're just there was really just one player. David

454
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.079
<v Speaker 18>Gasson was really the only player that had had played

455
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 18>meaningful minutes for k State, and pretty much of the

456
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 18>returning guys the only one right now that's contributing. So

457
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 18>I think it just has taken. It takes some teams,

458
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:54.680
<v Speaker 18>I guess a little bit longer to to gel and

459
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 18>I think part of it is they're just now figuring

460
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:03.640
<v Speaker 18>things out. But that's the thing with with the transfer

461
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 18>portal and everything. It just different teams, I guess figure

462
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 18>it out it at different times, and it's taken this

463
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:13.960
<v Speaker 18>it's definitely taken a while.

464
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then you guys, guys, and then Kansas State

465
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 3>UH plays the rival Kansas. UH does very well against

466
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 3>it is Kansas. This is I don't want to knock anything.

467
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Are they just not as good as they used to

468
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 3>be or Kansas play out of its mind or both?

469
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.400
<v Speaker 18>They're not They're not as good as some of these

470
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 18>the Kansas teams I think of recent years.

471
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 15>I think they're they're.

472
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.799
<v Speaker 18>Going through maybe some of the same things. They have

473
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 18>a few more guys back, but it seems like getting

474
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 18>their their pieces to fit has been been a struggle.

475
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.759
<v Speaker 18>This is just watching This doesn't look like a typical

476
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 18>bill Self team.

477
00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

478
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 3>And then Kansas State, of course is playing very, very

479
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.000
<v Speaker 3>very over well, so up their game.

480
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So outside of the guy you mentioned, what else

481
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 2>is working.

482
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.519
<v Speaker 15>Well? They're shooting the ball a lot better.

483
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:18.279
<v Speaker 18>I look through the five game winning streak, they're shooting

484
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 18>forty eight percent.

485
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 15>Overall, whereas in overall.

486
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 18>For the in their twelve league games, they're shooting forty

487
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.319
<v Speaker 18>five percent, and they've up there three point shooting to

488
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 18>forty three percent over the five games, and it was

489
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.960
<v Speaker 18>at thirty five percent for the whole for all the

490
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 18>league games.

491
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:39.799
<v Speaker 15>So that's that's.

492
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:42.359
<v Speaker 18>Been one thing is they're they're shooting the ball better.

493
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:46.599
<v Speaker 18>They've turned the ball over a little bit less. They're

494
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:51.920
<v Speaker 18>they've been better in transition, which had been a problem

495
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:53.640
<v Speaker 18>all season.

496
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 15>Uh, basically turnovers.

497
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.319
<v Speaker 18>They were losing the the points off turnover ball and

498
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 18>they've been winning that lately.

499
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 15>Just basically playing better all around.

500
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 18>Also, Joam Tang. I think has shortened as bench quite

501
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 18>a bit. Really, there's only six seven guys now that

502
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 18>are are playing playing a lot of minutes. I think

503
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.359
<v Speaker 18>only one of the subs is averaging double figures in minutes.

504
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.200
<v Speaker 18>So the question is whether they can sustain that with

505
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.920
<v Speaker 18>with the with the short bench. They've had a few

506
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:33.359
<v Speaker 18>guys occasionally step in and do some good things, but

507
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.559
<v Speaker 18>all five of their starters now are averaging and double figures.

508
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:41.680
<v Speaker 18>But really they're not getting a whole lot consistently from.

509
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 15>Anyone else other than C. J.

510
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.599
<v Speaker 18>Jones who started at point guard early in the season.

511
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.279
<v Speaker 2>They seem to have really balanced scoring as you mentioned.

512
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean everyone has been in double figures in this

513
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 2>in this streak. The uh, I mean, where's the strength?

514
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 2>Is there a strength in the you know the in

515
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 2>the front court? They are they really good at the guards.

516
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Where's the strength of this team? And how do you

517
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>think to follow on, how do you think that matches

518
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:09.039
<v Speaker 2>up with Arizona.

519
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 18>I haven't seen Arizona a whole lot. I think it's

520
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.640
<v Speaker 18>just the way the way Arizona plays, it looks like

521
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.160
<v Speaker 18>it's not They don't go very big to start with.

522
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 15>That should that should be a pretty good matchup case

523
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.039
<v Speaker 15>state they have probably there.

524
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 18>I'd say the biggest difference has been the play of

525
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 18>when Doug McDaniel, who was a Michigan transfer, he took

526
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.759
<v Speaker 18>over as the starting point guard I think for the

527
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 18>first league game, and he's really been playing well. And

528
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 18>then Coleman Hawkins, the transfer from Illinois.

529
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 15>It's a six ' ten guy who is averaging.

530
00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 18>Between I think about four and a half five assists

531
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 18>per game. He's not a huge scorer, but he is

532
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 18>leading him and scoring during league play, and that he

533
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 18>works really well with Gasan, who's about six eight six '.

534
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:18.960
<v Speaker 15>Nine, is more of a more of a low post guy.

535
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 18>That he's such a good passer that that it's given

536
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.279
<v Speaker 18>Gason a lot of opportunities. We're talking and then, uh,

537
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.720
<v Speaker 18>I was gonna say, Brendon hasen Villanova transfer. If he

538
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 18>gets going, he's a streaky three point shooter. But if

539
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 18>he gets going, uh, look out.

540
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 3>So I'll ask about Colin. We have a columnist coming

541
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:43.920
<v Speaker 3>in the next hour, but let me ask you this too.

542
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.119
<v Speaker 3>We're talking to Ernie Green from the Topeka Capitol Journal.

543
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Since you've covered the league a while now, and the

544
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 3>team you say a coach is bringing the the uh,

545
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the roster down to about six or seven to play.

546
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.599
<v Speaker 3>Arizona's doing the same thing. How do they sustain this

547
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.319
<v Speaker 3>because it's so physical and it's not easy. It's not

548
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 3>an easy physical, it's a tough physical. By the time

549
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.960
<v Speaker 3>March comes around.

550
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:09.279
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I think that's going to be the big question

551
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 18>is whether they can whether they can play those kinds

552
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.279
<v Speaker 18>of minutes and.

553
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 15>Keep it going that right now.

554
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:20.559
<v Speaker 18>Other than during the streak, the only close game they

555
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:22.559
<v Speaker 18>had was Arizona at Arizona State.

556
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.400
<v Speaker 15>I mean they've won the KU game the other day.

557
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 18>It's an eight point game, but it was fifteen points late,

558
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:32.480
<v Speaker 18>so we made a little bit of a run. So

559
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 18>they've really kind of dominated during the stretch, which you

560
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.680
<v Speaker 18>didn't see, and then they found a way to win

561
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.680
<v Speaker 18>at Arizona State.

562
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 15>Not helped that.

563
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:50.480
<v Speaker 18>Arizona State miss missed two free throws at the end,

564
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.319
<v Speaker 18>but I mean those are the kind of games they

565
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 18>were losing.

566
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, early on, So you guys are well are you

567
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 3>guys because you're not part of the team, but three

568
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 3>eleven and ten or twelve and eleven's like that.

569
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:06.319
<v Speaker 18>Twelve and eleven, No, that's their first time above five

570
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:14.720
<v Speaker 18>hundred since I think since in Gen. I'm trying to

571
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 18>think if it was in December or January.

572
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me ask you because I heard I was

573
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:20.559
<v Speaker 3>watching some of the highlights stuff from the weekend and

574
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.160
<v Speaker 3>now because you guys they're playing so well five and

575
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 3>zero in the last five that people are talking NC

576
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:26.359
<v Speaker 3>Double A tournament.

577
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, we've asked them, and we also asked Bill self

578
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:38.759
<v Speaker 18>about that afterwards what he and basically, they've dug themselves

579
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 18>quite a hole. I mean, if they can keep playing

580
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.200
<v Speaker 18>at this level, they have a chance, but they're gonna

581
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 18>have They're at twelve and eleven. They definitely got some

582
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 18>work to do if they can keep keep it up there.

583
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:54.680
<v Speaker 18>Definitely playing well enough. As Jang said, he thinks they

584
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.559
<v Speaker 18>could win games in the NC Double A tournament.

585
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 15>But yeah, right now, resume is not there yet.

586
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Right.

587
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.359
<v Speaker 3>Another thing, Arizona was rocking on Saturday night. It usually

588
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.680
<v Speaker 3>does for big games, and Texas Tech was a big game.

589
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm assuming that place is going to rock on tomorrow, right.

590
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:16.720
<v Speaker 18>It'll be interesting to see because really the Kansas game

591
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.599
<v Speaker 18>was their first sellout of the season. Because they they

592
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:23.680
<v Speaker 18>have struggled and especially with weak night games.

593
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 15>I'm guessing it was.

594
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 18>It was really loud Saturday, and I'm I mean in

595
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.160
<v Speaker 18>the past they have been. I'm guessing with Arizona's what

596
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:40.519
<v Speaker 18>a six game winning streak, and they're arguably the hottest

597
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 18>team in the country right now. It'll be interesting to

598
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:47.839
<v Speaker 18>see if if the fans turn on. I'm sure with

599
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 18>the students will because they've I think they've definitely bought in.

600
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.200
<v Speaker 18>But part of the problem with with Kansas State is

601
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 18>you've got where they're located. They really count on people

602
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 18>from out of town. And also we've got looks like

603
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:09.759
<v Speaker 18>snow in the forecast starting tomorrow night, so that may

604
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 18>keep some people home, but.

605
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 15>I would expect it to be a pretty good crowd.

606
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:20.319
<v Speaker 2>So are these are I'm sure to interrupted, But are

607
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>these new teams Arizona this year, He's last year. Are

608
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 2>they still kind of considered strangers, kind of coming to

609
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:31.079
<v Speaker 2>dinner or is it you kind of sense the Big

610
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:34.039
<v Speaker 2>twelve ish rivalry already?

611
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 18>Well, I don't know that they've developed any specific rivalries yet.

612
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 18>It's kind of early for that, but I think I

613
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.039
<v Speaker 18>think people are excited about having the new teams.

614
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 15>And then of course Texas and.

615
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:54.480
<v Speaker 18>Oklahoma leaving who have been in the league for long since,

616
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 18>well Oklahoma way longer, but since Texas since the Big

617
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:01.240
<v Speaker 18>twelve for him in ninety six.

618
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:05.160
<v Speaker 3>So you you you covered the way you've been there

619
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:08.240
<v Speaker 3>since ninety eight. I can't remember. Arizona hasn't played these

620
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.559
<v Speaker 3>guys too much. I remember covering him in the late

621
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.440
<v Speaker 3>maybe ninety nine, two thousands, Tom Tom something Tom. He

622
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.839
<v Speaker 3>was a big coach, Tom maybe mar Berry. What's his name,

623
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:20.839
<v Speaker 3>tom Asbury Asbury Asbury?

624
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:22.839
<v Speaker 15>Oh that was now we're going backways.

625
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, it was a good guy. It turned out

626
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 3>to be a friend of mine. He was helping with

627
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.839
<v Speaker 3>officials here. I guess in twenty fourteen Kansas State played

628
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:34.640
<v Speaker 3>the issue, so the juve, so the rivalry, the meetings

629
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:36.160
<v Speaker 3>haven't been much.

630
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.160
<v Speaker 18>No, that was the only In fact, I think that's

631
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 18>the only one in this millennium, because I think before

632
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.920
<v Speaker 18>before that, the last game I think was ninety nine.

633
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.599
<v Speaker 15>I looked at up.

634
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:49.799
<v Speaker 2>That must have been the tom asbro Yeah, yeah.

635
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 18>But I think what they played in Maui and uh

636
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 18>two thousand and fourteen. I think he brought them in

637
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 18>ninety that was yeah, and that was the year. I

638
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 18>don't think I was covering them, so.

639
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Right, okay, so before you go, what do you think

640
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.680
<v Speaker 3>is gonna happen tomorrow? Give me a prediction if you

641
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:07.400
<v Speaker 3>got one in you.

642
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:14.400
<v Speaker 18>I did, Yeah, I did my prediction for my story earlier,

643
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:19.200
<v Speaker 18>and I picked. I picked Arizona by five, I think

644
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 18>like seventy eight to seventy three or something. Now I'm

645
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.839
<v Speaker 18>starting to become a believer in this case state team.

646
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.599
<v Speaker 18>But I think Arizona has showed over a longer stretch.

647
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 18>Plus I think maybe I don't it looked like their

648
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.359
<v Speaker 18>non conference schedule, they didn't look their record wasn't that

649
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.920
<v Speaker 18>good that I've got to think that really toughen them

650
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.599
<v Speaker 18>up for this league because they've just run right through

651
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:50.359
<v Speaker 18>the through this league and I don't see any real

652
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.119
<v Speaker 18>sign of them.

653
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, I applaud you because you're a true journalist, not

654
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 3>going on not am not a homer one because I'm

655
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 3>the same wait with Arizona. I've covered the team since

656
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.880
<v Speaker 3>in ninety one as a journalist. Now I'm on the

657
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.559
<v Speaker 3>radio and I'm not a believer of this Arizona team.

658
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.519
<v Speaker 3>Although I'm headed in that direction, I guess, and like

659
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I say, well no, in March because that's when it

660
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.200
<v Speaker 3>all matters, like at Kansas, it all matters in March.

661
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, well, I think this would definitely If Case State can,

662
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.559
<v Speaker 18>I would consider it's still an upset if they can.

663
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:30.119
<v Speaker 18>If they can win this game, then that would definitely

664
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 18>help their resume. I do know that three of their

665
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.799
<v Speaker 18>five games during the streak have come against the wins

666
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.759
<v Speaker 18>that come against ranked teams or teams that were ranked

667
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:46.000
<v Speaker 18>at the time. West Virginia, Iowa States still up there,

668
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:52.559
<v Speaker 18>and then Kansas. They have played played well against some

669
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 18>pretty decent teams. But I just don't know that they've

670
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:57.960
<v Speaker 18>come up against the likes of Arizona.

671
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:02.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, you appreciate your time, good luck, stay warm

672
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:03.880
<v Speaker 3>over there, and we'll see what happens tomorrow.

673
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 15>Okay, thanks for having me.

674
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:11.079
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, I appreciate good stuff. I'm not too sure he

675
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.800
<v Speaker 3>doesn't believe it. And then but they're five, and they're five,

676
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.760
<v Speaker 3>and oh the last five Arizona is what they are?

677
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.159
<v Speaker 3>Seven and the last seven. Yeah, it should be a

678
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:20.519
<v Speaker 3>fun game. It's gonna be crazy, yeah, I mean, it's

679
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.800
<v Speaker 3>not gonna be a pushover. I mean, you know, if

680
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:24.639
<v Speaker 3>you'd asked us a couple of weeks ago, this would

681
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.719
<v Speaker 3>be like a nothing game.

682
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's like this really is a it's gonna

683
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.559
<v Speaker 2>be a tough one. I think it away out snowstorm

684
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep people away. Probably probably, I mean darkness. Yeah,

685
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Arizona people. Well, that's Manhattan. Kansas is not like Manhattan,

686
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>New York. It's not Manhattan, New York. It's definitely not Manhattan,

687
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.440
<v Speaker 2>New York. Right, you got to count on the people

688
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 2>out of town. Oh yeah, I've been to Manhattan, Kansas

689
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and tell I think I've driven through to get to Lawrence.

690
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:56.639
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean, you know, it's like different. No,

691
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:00.760
<v Speaker 2>they're there, big hotel is like the Fairmont Airfield, you know,

692
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:06.159
<v Speaker 2>in sweets. Uh, you know, I mean good hard working people.

693
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't want to say that things about

694
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.039
<v Speaker 2>my hand Kansas, but they're not a lot there. Yeah,

695
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 2>okay except for college basketball. College basketball. Now there is

696
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 2>college basketball there, you know, and you got the big

697
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:21.639
<v Speaker 2>red one fort Rally, But for Riley, Kansas is there.

698
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's still named for Rally or it will

699
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:27.639
<v Speaker 2>be again, Uh, depends on how things going. We don't

700
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:31.119
<v Speaker 2>want to get into that. That's opening up a very

701
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 2>different can of worms. But but you know, you said,

702
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.119
<v Speaker 2>there's you gotta try, Like he said, you got to

703
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 2>travel in there to to get there. I don't know

704
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:41.000
<v Speaker 2>if they're going to be That's what I was kind

705
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.639
<v Speaker 2>of trying to get at. I don't I don't see

706
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the passion for people to race in a snowy night

707
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to get to.

708
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 3>They They did a Cincinnati and West Virginia the same issue.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like, hey, okay, yeah, Arizona's a good team,

713
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:04.639
<v Speaker 2>but you know, we'll watch them in March. You know,

714
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:07.280
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of interesting thing.

<v Speaker 6>Is I don't get it at home?

829
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he goes he's averaging ten points. I'm already predicted

830
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:46.480
<v Speaker 4>he's good by the end of a conference plays in

831
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:50.159
<v Speaker 4>me averaging over thirteen and that was before the last game.

832

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

833
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.599

834
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:56.960
<v Speaker 3>know how how Brian.

836
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:00.559
<v Speaker 4>couple of dumb No.

837
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.719
<v Speaker 3>How did he describe how he was playing, because he

838
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:03.760
<v Speaker 3>was playing out of his mind?

839
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just said he got a couple of days

840
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:11.119
<v Speaker 4>Henry gets the ball, don't say, oh slams at home.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was. He was fantastic.

842
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:15.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you can't but I don't know if you

843
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:17.599
<v Speaker 3>can sustain it, because he had he had been very

844
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:19.519
<v Speaker 3>good and then he wasn't for a while and now

845
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:19.920
<v Speaker 3>he was.

846
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:24.559
<v Speaker 4>But you because I got the before even played, I

847
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:27.400
<v Speaker 4>got the scouting report from you, Steve and and the

848
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:30.639
<v Speaker 4>and the like that he was. You know, he was

849
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:33.480
<v Speaker 4>a highly recruited guy. He was supposed to be pretty good.

850
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.960
<v Speaker 4>But if you you know, I always talked to Jay

851
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.079
<v Speaker 4>and you, the big guys just take.

852
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:41.199
<v Speaker 2>A while to get going. A lot of these Euros.

853
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:43.960
<v Speaker 4>They have they play a lot more involved and and

854
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:44.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, on a.

855
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Higher level than than you know.

856
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.159
<v Speaker 4>Then the high schools can provide here in the States.

857
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know.

858
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Vic kind of texted me about this too when I

859
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:54.639
<v Speaker 3>first saw Henry and I spoke to him at the

860
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:56.639
<v Speaker 3>media day, and you can see him play, and you

861
00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:59.039
<v Speaker 3>can see him move. He had a lot of fluidity.

862
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.320
<v Speaker 3>He could run run the court very well. He had

863
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.519
<v Speaker 3>a lot of skills. If you remember, I haven't written

864
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:06.039
<v Speaker 3>the story because I don't know if it's out there,

865
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.519
<v Speaker 3>but when he was younger, when he was younger, had

866
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:11.079
<v Speaker 3>to be about twelve thirteen, he's he was a smaller dude,

867
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:13.960
<v Speaker 3>and then he had this huge gold spurt, so he

868
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:15.320
<v Speaker 3>had to learn how to handle the ball.

869
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:16.920
<v Speaker 2>He was a gardish yeah.

870
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:18.360
<v Speaker 3>And and and then then all of a sudden he

871
00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:21.559
<v Speaker 3>became this seven footer and so he had those skills.

872
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:25.320
<v Speaker 2>So he handles it all well. He's very mobile around

873
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the basket. He's just a dude, yep.

874
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.639
<v Speaker 6>And Vic's saying he really likes I remember last week

875
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:35.199
<v Speaker 6>when he was saying it that I was mentioning to

876
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:39.039
<v Speaker 6>you and Jay on Friday that Vick says, yeah, he's

877
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:40.840
<v Speaker 6>got to get the ball underneath and gunk and blah

878
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.320
<v Speaker 6>blah blah. We know he's doing that, but how what

879
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:46.719
<v Speaker 6>Howard says? And of course Steve could be Yeah, if

880
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:49.559
<v Speaker 6>he hits those threes, it's always gravy and he's a

881
00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:51.480
<v Speaker 6>lot of games, he said, five hundred percent because he

882
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:52.400
<v Speaker 6>only takes.

883
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Two or one.

884
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Thousand percent because he only takes one and hits it. Yeah,

885
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:59.599
<v Speaker 4>so and that's that's that's pretty doable. He doesn't need

886
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:00.519
<v Speaker 4>to take more than that.

887
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.239
<v Speaker 3>Sure, Sure, it's just the time and circumstances of those three.

888
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

889
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.079
<v Speaker 4>And I think he's only going to get take some

890
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:12.760
<v Speaker 4>more shots and you warm ups and practice, and I

891
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:14.079
<v Speaker 4>think he'll be good, well off.

892
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hey, thanks for going to the show on Friday

893
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:19.480
<v Speaker 3>for a show at the Oh yeah yeah.

913
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.239
<v Speaker 20>It feels unreal? After the how they started and uh,

914
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:02.840
<v Speaker 20>and you know we down this road before Usually it's

915
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:05.159
<v Speaker 20>the other way around that they win, you know, ten

916
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:09.360
<v Speaker 20>or twelve games, you know, unscathed. Uh, and then and

917
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 20>then they go into a dump.

918
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:12.320
<v Speaker 2>So I like it.

919
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:13.519
<v Speaker 20>I'm gonna enjoy it.

920
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.599
<v Speaker 3>So you believe in this team, I mean, are you you?

921
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Are you a believer?

922
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Now?

923
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:24.800
<v Speaker 20>I don't know that I'm believer when I've been when

924
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:26.519
<v Speaker 20>we get to the n c A. As you know,

925
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.480
<v Speaker 20>we've been down this most too many times. So uh,

926
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 20>they say they still rely too much on the three pointier.

927
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.400
<v Speaker 20>When the three pointers out there there, they can be

928
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.840
<v Speaker 20>a little lost, and uh, luckily they've recovered and won.

929
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we'll see what happens. You know, you sound

930
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.280
<v Speaker 3>like jam the football program. You've been sneaking enough times.

931
00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:53.480
<v Speaker 3>You're not too shy about or not too keen about

932
00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:54.039
<v Speaker 3>following them.

933
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:57.880
<v Speaker 15>Uh.

934
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.159
<v Speaker 20>You know one thing earlier worried about. It seems like

935
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:03.440
<v Speaker 20>I cleaned it up a little bit was the beginn

936
00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:07.159
<v Speaker 20>bounds pass, you know after a made basket. They were

937
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:09.480
<v Speaker 20>having a lot of time with that, a lot of

938
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.280
<v Speaker 20>trouble with that. So I hope that they've they've solved

939
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.639
<v Speaker 20>that problem because that's gonna hurt of if they get

940
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:17.920
<v Speaker 20>the other team gets a few steals.

941
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:21.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll see what happens. Yeah, okay, thanks Frank, thanks

942

948
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:35.320
<v Speaker 3>We can go as long as we want, but that

949
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:37.960
<v Speaker 3>time takes up on the top ends, so you know,

<v Speaker 3>same time, I guess. Yeah, okay again, if you'd like

<v Speaker 2>Okay, what's you one of your thoughts?

978
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.400
<v Speaker 21>So my thoughts are and this is a Twitter pool

979
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:58.800
<v Speaker 21>question for you, Steve and Mike. What's a bigger Advantag's

980
00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:03.119
<v Speaker 21>the Crevious injury or the Gayden Delora injury.

981
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:05.440
<v Speaker 2>That's a good question.

982
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:09.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'd say the Delora the Delora, Yeah, because that

983
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of transformed the whole program.

984
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

985
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:14.480
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, I'm gonna agree with you.

986
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:16.199
<v Speaker 3>And we won't know we won't know the results of

987
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.440
<v Speaker 3>the Creevious thing until you know, six weeks, seven weeks,

988
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:20.880
<v Speaker 3>whatever weeks.

989
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:24.559
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, that's very true. But uh hey, but I'm gonna

990
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:27.280
<v Speaker 21>tell you. I'm gonna give you props again. You called

991
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.400
<v Speaker 21>it that over a year ago. You said Henry was

992
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 21>a stud and and it's come to fruition.

993
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:33.400
<v Speaker 18>Man.

994
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that guy.

995
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.199
<v Speaker 3>You know, I even asked you and the press commas

996
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:39.480
<v Speaker 3>and I said, how do you how do you have

997
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:40.719
<v Speaker 3>this seven foot string.

998
00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Bean become a beast? Because I walk is beast.

999
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 3>But Henry was a big, thin beast Saturday night.

1000
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

1001
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:55.039
<v Speaker 21>But see he's dunking everything. He I mean, we haven't

1002
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:57.280
<v Speaker 21>had a guy that's gone to the ring dunk stuff

1003
00:48:57.320 --> 00:48:59.519
<v Speaker 21>like that for a long long time.

1004
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:02.280
<v Speaker 3>And I didn't even tell you maybe maybe and he

1005
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:04.719
<v Speaker 3>was just this thing was Lauren Woods.

1006
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:10.559
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yeah, probably exactly. I'll tell you what that another

1007
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:13.639
<v Speaker 7>guy laying it up, even bollow a strong and he

1008
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:16.400
<v Speaker 7>was would lay it up and get swatted.

1009
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:19.199
<v Speaker 2>And yeah it'll fall down. He fall down up. Yeah

1010
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:23.119
<v Speaker 2>that time. That the time that he reaches out and

1011
00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:26.880
<v Speaker 2>slams it, you know, I mean that stepping like what

1012
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:30.440
<v Speaker 2>did I call him stretch armstrong, which was a great,

1013
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:33.199
<v Speaker 2>great reference unfortunately was on Twitter and no one read

1014
00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:37.159
<v Speaker 2>it the as we were mentioning. But Vic, You're absolutely right.

1015
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's he's he he he goes to dunk

1016
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the ball. I mean, O, what a what a concept

1017
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.199
<v Speaker 2>for a seven footer. You know, it's like he's not

1018
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:49.000
<v Speaker 2>playing games, he's making the basket exactly so.

1019
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:52.480
<v Speaker 21>And then see if you asked about what's been the turnaround,

1020
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:57.280
<v Speaker 21>and everybody said everything from love to Tommy. But the

1021
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:00.280
<v Speaker 21>biggest thing is that previous injury and Henry coming into

1022
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:00.800
<v Speaker 21>his own.

1023
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, no, you're right.

1024
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:04.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean certain things happened for a reason, right, and

1025
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:06.320
<v Speaker 3>this may have happened.

1026
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:06.519
<v Speaker 2>For a reason.

1027
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:10.519
