I try to know. Did you get from 15 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:34.439 sleep last night? One? 16 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.200 Oh, very little. I had to go on my morning 17 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:38.399 run early this morning. 18 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:39.679 We had too. You didn't have to do that. 19 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.799 I had to because school's back in session and I 20 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.039 need need a break when I can get it. 21 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.000 So we were solving the world's problems, like at twelve 22 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.799 walking from the Matchale Center to our car and what 23 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.479 the hell was going on with this team? And nothing 24 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.960 bad's happening with this team. It's all good right now, 25 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.520 right But but I think is one of the things 26 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.079 that we disc and I was just on the show 27 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.400 in FEEDIX. They asked me, what's going on, what's the 28 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.200 difference now, Well, they're playing better, we're also not playing anybody. 29 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.000 Granted they've and in fact, I didn't even put this 30 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.799 in my story. This was the third top twenty five 31 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.599 team they beat. We talked about this, right, we did 32 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.599 top twenty five team. But it's not like a twenty five, 33 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.480 top twenty five team, you know what I'm saying. 34 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.719 It's not even top fifteen. I think, yeah, so yeah, 35 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.040 I mean, let me, you ain't talking about Arizona, who's 36 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.719 not top fifteen. The teams we've been playing, oh yeah, yeah, sixteen, Cincinnati, 37 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.680 twenty one, West Virginia in twenty five. 38 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.159 Right right, right, right, So not to be because people 39 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.079 think I'm like the poo pooor of the world that 40 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.319 you know, my but realistically, and in fact, your boss 41 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.920 at the Acy Deserts Form had a pretty good pregame 42 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:54.680 thing pregame story saying that Arizona had the weakest conference 43 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.560 schedule to this point in the season. 44 00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.400 It's the weakest it'll. 45 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.079 Be twelve CONFU season to this point. I said it 46 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.079 twice now, because the teams they played haven't are near 47 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.120 the bottom, right, not at the top. So you're a ballplayer, 48 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.120 you know, if you're if your cell point, I'm using 49 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.000 a local analogy, if your sell point and you go 50 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.039 beat Greenfield twelve times, aren't you supposed to? 51 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.639 I mean yeah, when you use that kind of analogy, 52 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.439 I think you're looking at the David and Goliath perspective, right, 53 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.680 the analogy there that every now and again David will 54 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.680 be Goliath, but for the most part, Glass should always 55 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.599 be and if they don't, you wonder what the hell 56 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:33.159 just happened? 57 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:33.439 Yeah. 58 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.240 Absolutely, But I mean I take what you're saying in 59 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.400 stride a little bit, but I think you're looking at 60 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.080 that big too twelve schedule, especially preseason, going this is 61 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.520 a monster, sure, and then now you're going into going Okay, 62 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.199 we had three out of our top four game or 63 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.759 three out of the first four games against ranked opponents. 64 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.879 But I do understand where you're where you're getting from realistically. 65 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.800 I mean, they're ranked, which is great, and they won 66 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.479 because a beat sal alternative, right, you can lost, but 67 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.960 but you should beat them. And last night was a 68 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.960 it was a good show. Regardless of the late game 69 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.520 fall apart or whatever you want to say. They had 70 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.800 that game on all the way and they played out 71 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.520 of their They played out of their mind, which is great. 72 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.960 Yeah, and I thought it was the best team basketball 73 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.759 we've played so far this year. Unselfish, you know, for 74 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.439 Love to have the kind of game he did and 75 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.639 everybody around him to kind of pick up. There wasn't 76 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.719 a player on the court that didn't make an impact, 77 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.680 and I think that's what's really impressive. 78 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.840 Good observation. I totally agree with you, because everybody had 79 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.719 had a hand in it. Yeah, and I think the 80 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.919 biggest hand is The guy I really like is Henry 81 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.560 and I've liked him for a long time, you know, 82 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.919 because he and I'm trying to think, and you followed 83 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.240 this one very very closely for the last few years 84 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.479 big Man, and you both of you gets because you 85 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.919 following big Man. Everyone hasn't had a big man. 86 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:48.840 Like him. 87 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.599 And I'm going to be totally wrong, I know, because 88 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.479 I can't remember, but Louren Woods a guy who could 89 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.800 run and defend the basket and could score. Not a 90 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.360 great scorer, but a scorer. I was actually thinking about 91 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.439 this last night during the game. He very much reminds 92 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:04.439 me of Christian Coloco. 93 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.960 Yeah, yeah, he just has a little bit more ranked 94 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:08.879 than Coloco did. 95 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:09.360 Range. 96 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.400 Yeah, range, yeah, yeah, no question, And I forget Coloco 97 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.199 in a sense, same kind. He was a pretty good 98 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.040 big man. He was a real good defender, especially the perimeter. Yeah, 99 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.720 and that's what he mostly was a defender, right, Yeah, 100 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.800 because he wasn't a scorer. Henry has it more than that. 101 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.920 Doesn't he a little bit more more game to him? 102 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.879 Yeah? Yeah, offensive game. Yeah, and you're talking about perimeter 103 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.519 offense as well, which you can expand the defense and 104 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.720 it allows our guards to be the more mobile and 105 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.800 the FDA kind of play where he wants. It's it's impressive. 106 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.160 Coloco is kind of the same path, right, It took 107 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.199 him three years to really develop into the player he was, 108 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.000 and Vsar is kind of in that same boat. Yeah. 109 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.279 And he's he's he could run the court. He's got 110 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.360 great feet. You know, usually when you have like you 111 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.240 have the you have the creator's feet, you're kind of slow, 112 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.319 kind of plotting. 113 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.079 He's not slow or plotting. And he can shoot range. 114 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.480 Uh, he was the g He's Grant Jerry Better two 115 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.879 point zero, who can stretch the floor things. Do you 116 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.319 want him to stretch the floor because Ucla, I mean 117 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.560 you're thinking what you're doing shooting the three, but he 118 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.759 can shoot the three. He hits that shot, that game's over. 119 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.480 Yeah yeah, I think there was a couple of them. 120 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.959 He hits one of those, Arizona has it, But the 121 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.439 fact of the matter is he didn't. 122 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:20.160 He didn't. 123 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.319 But he's hitting them now right. I don't know if 124 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.000 I want him. 125 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.480 To shoot that, but if you're, if you're, I'll take 126 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.920 I'll take one to two shots from. 127 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.680 Him, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it keeps the 128 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.079 other team honest Yeah, yeah, yeah. 129 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.879 I mean, I think when you're looking at that overall 130 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.560 perspective of the game yesterday, he was the most consistent 131 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.120 piece throughout the game by far, But I thought a 132 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.600 Waka gave you some quality minutes. I think his evolution, 133 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:48.480 not honestly, the last four games is substantial. Yeah, yeah, 134 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.399 I agree with you. Vis Visa is a different when 135 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.879 he's on the court, He's a different beast. Yeah. 136 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.560 No, And well it's twitty because I talked to about 137 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.279 this on the show previous kJ He's not the non starter, 138 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.519 he's a starter. The stars a starter, and who is 139 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.639 the third guy? Uh Bryant Carter Apple's apples. He's probably 140 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.360 a starter too, right, But Henry, but Tommy's not gonna 141 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.560 change anything. Why would you? That was another thing we 142 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.480 talked about, right, I wouldn't change it? Yeah, yeah, why right? 143 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.839 Why sitting broke? Don't don't fix it? 144 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:22.000 Well? 145 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.560 Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah. I mean I think you're looking 146 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.839 at you know, it feels like a deeper team than 147 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.199 eight players, because the lineups are starting to gel and 148 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.879 I think they're starting. I mean you're looking at Delorso 149 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.480 in that first half yesterday, their defensive effort in the 150 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.759 first half yesterday, the energy that they put forth. I mean, 151 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.120 even if, however you think about Baylor, to keep them 152 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.600 under twenty points for a whole half is pretty impressive. 153 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:41.800 Right. 154 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.560 It's funny that that There's two things that I wanted 155 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.160 to and I didn't write about this, but I asked 156 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.360 the question about Delorso. If you if he gets you 157 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.639 nine ten points and the way he did it, that's gravy. 158 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.079 I mean, you're gonna take that all day because that's 159 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.560 what he's there for. The spot, the shooter, the catch 160 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.720 and shoot shooter, get him into a rhythm, bloom, And 161 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.519 if he's doing that, that's like, where did. 162 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.319 This come from? Because at the beginning of the year, 163 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.079 you're thinking, what are you here for? Yeah, yeah, you're 164 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.600 absolute right, And we didn't know what we're getting. We 165 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.800 talked about the last time it's another mid major transfer 166 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.480 that it's kind of a flip of coin. Now, like 167 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:12.839 you're either going to get one of the best players 168 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.920 in the conference we've seen in another conference, or you might 169 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.399 get a guy that was a start and Townshend's kind 170 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:18.959 of finding his way a little bit too. I think 171 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.800 Townsend Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not he had a 172 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.639 pretty good game. I thought he had a pretty good 173 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:24.959 game the first basket. 174 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.639 Still can't necessarily take care of the ball sometimes, Yeah, 175 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.480 but he's he's improving. 176 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.959 Yeah, well, we have two more months left. And that 177 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.839 was kind of one of the questions I asked. He says, 178 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.199 I don't prognosticate, or I don't I'll live in the 179 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.480 world of hypothetical hypotheticals. Yeah, yeah, because you're two months 180 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.519 in now, you have two months left. 181 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.040 Where are you going to go with this? So we'll see. Yeah, 182 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.560 And I think Tommy, not this, not this presser, but 183 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.560 the presser before. And I know I heard what you 184 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.439 taught to ask him. Yeah, but he's being honest, right, 185 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.920 And we talked about a lot of it. From my standpoint, 186 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.879 from a coaching standpoint, I'm not going to say anything 187 00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.079 to the media that I'm not going to say to 188 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.720 my players. Yeah, and sometimes that media effect allows a 189 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.360 little bit more cohesiveness and that in the locker room 190 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.480 because we know where we're going, we know where we 191 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:08.920 want to be. 192 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.639 It also helps I think the crowd, the fandom be 193 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.279 realistic about what he has right, kind of sets their 194 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.480 tone of oh, maybe maybe he understands what they're missing. 195 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.399 You know what I'm saying, Because everyone thinks that Tommy 196 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.879 either can or can act coach. He's either got it 197 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.800 or don't. Next time they lose, guess, guess what's going 198 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.199 to happen. 199 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.879 Oh, it's the same thing. I try to stay off 200 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.360 the message boards as much as I can't because it's like, yeah, 201 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.159 it's I'm so over it. But I mean to Tommy's 202 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.639 credit with what And we talked about this last time 203 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.639 I was on the show, with what he was given 204 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.279 this year, and we were saying, this is the deepest 205 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.840 team for him to evolve and pivot the way he 206 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.559 has to get this team playing the way they are, 207 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.519 I think is a heck of a job coaching, and 208 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.840 if you stand back, you cannot argue the fact that 209 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.600 he's one of the best college coaches in basketball. 210 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.519 Yeah, well, they wouldn't be calling him for the America's 211 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.360 Team America Team US I stuff like that. They like 212 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.039 playing the style. I think too that the teams that 213 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.879 they've played haven't done what other teams have done. 214 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.679 Try to slow them down. If you're a coach and 215 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.200 you are you, how would you try to slo How 216 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.120 would you defend Arizona? I mean, that's a great question, 217 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.519 because now you have you're almost going outside in, inside out, 218 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.440 any way you want. We've got four bigs that are 219 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.399 all finding a way. I mean, you perimeter, but we're 220 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.279 starting to shoot the three better. I honestly, it's a 221 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.000 tough Who do you put? Who do you spend your 222 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.840 time on? You spend your time on Love because Bradley 223 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.279 can hurt you. Now, yeah, actually I would. I would 224 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.480 probably let Love screw himself because he hasn't done much right. 225 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.200 But but you know, you're a pitcher, so a picture 226 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.000 kind of controls the game, right. Of course, you were 227 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.080 a crafty pitcher. Were you a dominated picture what kind 228 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.559 of picture were you? Yeah, I was like eighty eight 229 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.360 ninety two guy that, but I threw four pitches that 230 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.159 I can do whatever I. 231 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:52.399 Want it with. 232 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.480 Well, there you go, there you go, perfect example. So 233 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.240 you have a arsenal if you can go if this 234 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.440 isn't working, this is working. Yeah, And if if you 235 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.360 got a guy who can hit fastball, what are you 236 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:00.720 gonna throw? 237 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:01.559 Not fast balls? 238 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.480 Yeah, this team loves the run. Let's go in transition? 239 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.639 What am I going to try to do? Make you 240 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.519 slow this damn game play in the fifties because you 241 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.240 can't do it, And that's what teams have done to 242 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:12.720 this point. 243 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.200 And I think we're starting to see that a lot more, obviously, 244 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.000 but I think our slow offense and our half court 245 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.120 offense is starting to get better. The back door cuts 246 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.159 has been working great. That kJ Lewis feed to Bradley 247 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.279 last night that backdoor cut was perfect. Finding Visa under 248 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.960 the hoop, the four to the five, the fight of 249 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.799 the four has been great passing because we haven't had 250 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.519 that kind of passing since Tubellas. So it is you're right, 251 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.480 you've got to slow us down. You got if you're 252 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.879 get to win. And guess what happens in the tournament. Yeah, 253 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:41.960 teams slow you down. 254 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:43.519 They want to make play in the sixties and they 255 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.159 want to control the temple and blah blah blah. And 256 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.440 that's what has been Arizona's demise for years. You know, 257 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.200 Princeton was that team. So let me ask you. 258 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.279 Guys both this. So you I mean, obviously we're all 259 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.679 following these teams for years and years and we understand this. 260 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:58.720 There's two questions that I want to ask you. The 261 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.960 first question is does this team stand a better chance 262 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.720 in the tournament? Because for me, it's it's a more 263 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.759 encompassing team than we've had in the past. Question, is 264 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.519 that go ahead? That's the first question I'll ask you. 265 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.200 The second one, I think we've been able to see 266 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.840 that they can keep it close when a team slows 267 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:18.120 them down. 268 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.639 It's a matter of winning those games. 269 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.480 So I think this is I'm gonna use the word 270 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.240 complete because they can stick with any game. It's just 271 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.399 well they pull it out in the end. That's where 272 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.480 I think this team is at right now. See here's 273 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.039 here's my dilemma in your question. So let's as super 274 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.399 second day you are in the fifties or sixties. There's 275 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.039 only one guy that's really gonna pull him out of 276 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.600 this game, and his name is Caleb Love. So you're 277 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.720 gonna be dependent on him because he can score, and 278 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.720 you're gonna get the good Caleb Love, or you're gonna 279 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:48.000 get them. 280 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:49.919 That's a good Caleb Love. And that's a hell of 281 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.200 a way to live. You know what I'm saying. Should 282 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.240 I go in this neighborhood there's a chance I could 283 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.919 get beat up? Or do I go around the around 284 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.840 the long way and take a long time and may 285 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.720 not make it on time? 286 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:02.879 Does that make sense? 287 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:03.159 Yeah? 288 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.480 It's say National Lampoons when they go to eas St. Louis. 289 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.840 It's that that kind of verbage. 290 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.000 Right. 291 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.960 You're gonna get off of the wrong stop at some point, right, 292 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.360 and then how do you survive it? Right? Yeah? Yeah, 293 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.480 so so are they what was a question? 294 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.639 How? I don't know. It depends. It depends on a 295 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.759 lot of things. And I talked about it a lot 296 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:22.320 when Luke was around. You gotta be lucky, you gotta 297 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.679 be good, you got to be healthy, uh, and things 298 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.559 just have to fall right, just just the right opponent, 299 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.440 because if you have a team that's slowing down and 300 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.000 methodical and has one of those days where you can't 301 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.639 do anything right. Last night, Florida, who I think is 302 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.600 a fantastic team, they can't beat at home by Missouri. 303 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:41.720 I know what? 304 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.039 How? 305 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:43.480 How? 306 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:43.879 What is it? 307 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.200 How they just packed the crap out of Tennessee in 308 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.720 an emotional game? You but you know we're okay with them. 309 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.919 What are the things that I've said a number of times? 310 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.279 And you witnessed this because you're an athlete and a coach. 311 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.799 The one thing that I've noticed the most probably is 312 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.120 the emotions of kids playing the game. Either you think 313 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.320 your poop doesn't stink and you just show up and play. 314 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:05.840 I want to kick the crap out of you, and 315 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.960 it doesn't work that way because the other team wants 316 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.840 to beat you too, and you're not emotionally ready to 317 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.759 play that game, and that's happens. How else would you 318 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.240 use explain upsets, especially at the big level. 319 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.799 I'm sure you would agree. Yeah, And they're talking about 320 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.799 the difference between confidence and continents right. 321 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.799 Perfect, yes, yes, and that Arizona has lost a lot 322 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.840 of games because of that. You know people wouldn't believe it. Oh, 323 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.840 there were much talented. So how did you lose. Why 324 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.279 did you lose? We didn't show up? Well, the other 325 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.120 team had something to do with it. 326 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.879 Yeah, everybody's got the plan too. So when you've got 327 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.559 more time to plan for a team, it's you don't 328 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.519 know what you're gonna get all no, no, And you're saying, 329 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.639 do you have a second question? Yeah, my second question. 330 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:48.799 But if we're gonna go to break, I don't want 331 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.279 we got we got to good? Okay. Second question, So 332 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.120 this has to do with culture. So you know sports 333 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.000 is about momentum. Have you seen a difference in the 334 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.759 culture with this team because you're behind the scenes, you're 335 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.519 you're getting to see Tommy as you seen. Have you 336 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.480 seen their their mindset and the way they communicate, the 337 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.399 way they're around each other. Have you seen it evolve 338 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:08.679 and change a little bit over the start of the 339 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.639 start of the season. 340 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.360 Good question. You lost me a momentum earlier because I 341 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.360 don't believe in it. Yeah, but we're not. We're not 342 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.360 as close as you would think. Okay, we're not. We 343 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.120 go to games, we see them, we see them. 344 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.440 I don't know. 345 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.679 Okay, to be fair, I don't know. 346 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.399 For me, it seems like they're in a let's do 347 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.639 our job type of mindset and a not satisfied mindset. 348 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.639 They came out of the locker room. You know, they're 349 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.159 up forty two nineteen right, I guess number twenty five 350 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.279 national champs but five years ago, and they did not 351 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.799 look pleased at all with that first half. They came 352 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:46.840 out and they looked Pete off you know, and who 353 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.039 in Arizona? Okay, so it just seems like they have 354 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:52.320 a real focus to them right now. 355 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.559 And then what happened at the next ten minutes? 356 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.639 Yeah, exactly next like that. 357 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.080 Offense too though the ten minutes Yeah, yeah. 358 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.320 You know, we gotta go because we're gonna have one 359 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.639 of the guys who knows ask him that question. Brian 360 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.120 Jeffries will be there because he's around them a lot 361 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.639 more than all of us, and he knows comedy very 362 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:12.919 well because he spends a lot of time with them, 363 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.720 But that question would be best for him. Okay, we're 364 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.360 gonna Brian Jeffries on the other side. 365 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.840 Now your chance to win one thousand domins.
