Welcome to I on the 5 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.440 Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. 6 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.920 In with me today is Dave? How did you get it? 7 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:23.879 I don't they let me in today for some reason? 8 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.879 Where you bid just standing outside the door waiting for 9 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:27.559 someone to let me in. 10 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.600 You didn't even have a song. Yeah, we'll work for nothing, 11 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.399 that's it. Still you were for food, Come on, that's true. 12 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.359 You were for you and Cody Coby's the one that 13 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.799 works for credits and me I'm just here. I'm just 14 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.039 here with the face for radio. Yeah. So here we 15 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.240 are Thursday to Gay, two days closer to the Houston game, 16 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.159 two days remove the debucle. 17 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:54.719 And we're trying not to think about the past. We're 18 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.840 trying to think about the future. I guess because but 19 00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.359 I haven't had the pass to talk to you. Although 20 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.479 I'm going to bore the listeners because we talked about 21 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.840 the past the last couple of days, at least yesterday. Uh, 22 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.239 just real quick, would you think we'll take a quick 23 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.439 breeze over your thoughts on the game against Kansas State. Yeah. 24 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.239 I mean, well, obviously the shooting was was just awful. 25 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.519 I don't even help to describe it. 26 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:15.719 It was. 27 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.959 It was tough to watch as a fan, frustrating. They 28 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.599 had so many chances to kind of put the team, 29 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.640 put the game away with a few more makes you know, 30 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.239 it's one of those like House Arizona season going to 31 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.400 end type games. You think like, oh, here we go, 32 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.760 it's going to be you know, going two for twenty 33 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.959 or whatever they were from outside, and you know, they 34 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.480 just it was. It was frustrating, it was, but by 35 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.560 the same token, and you're also thinking, well, it's been 36 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.760 a good run. Yeah, it's still February. There's still time 37 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.280 to you know, hopefully avoid those types of games, and 38 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.079 there's still some more big ones coming. I mean, you 39 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:48.840 can't get any bigger than the game coming up, and 40 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.799 right you know, they'll be at home, they'll have a 41 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.400 little bit of a chance to kind of rectify that 42 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.879 that problem and hopefully Kayla will you know, regain his 43 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.959 touch in McHale and you know, all will be forgotten. 44 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.040 What does that sound for about optimistic that's good. 45 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.439 They give me some odds to both you and Kobe 46 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.319 who doesn't play. But Kobe uh and new Dave, what 47 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.919 are the chods that Cobe that the Caleb will find 48 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:14.599 his shot. 49 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.840 I think he'll find a shot because he's a microwave 50 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.080 as we call him. So he had an off game 51 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.639 last game, so hopefully it gets hot today. I think 52 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.800 he's been playing better at home than on the road. 53 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.280 I could be wrong about that though. Okay, so you're 54 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:30.400 thinking it's a good chance. 55 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.199 Yeah, Man, Houston plays that tough defense too. They're gonna 56 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.080 be They're gonna be in his face and I mean 57 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.520 he's a marked man. They know that. They if you know, 58 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.919 he makes what a couple of those from the other day, 59 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.360 they win that game. So they were I'm sure they were, 60 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.680 you know, targeting him and making sure that he did 61 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.599 not get too many wide open looks. 62 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.439 But they but they did get wide open looks. Yeah, 63 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.360 that was the thing. They were a lot of them. 64 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.560 It wasn't Kansas State's defense. They just missed. Same for Arizona. 65 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.080 Arizona defense wasn't what we had seen in the past, 66 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.400 in the recent past. Yeah, right, they were just missing 67 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.319 shots too. I said yesterday jokingly, but serious, their guy 68 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.520 Alkins or Atkins, there were thirty whatever, the big dude. 69 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.479 I said, I hadn't seen the guy. I said, they 70 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.680 would have killed Arizona had he hit some shots. I'm 71 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.960 taking here's this guy that's keeping Arizona in the game 72 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.719 because he could hit shots. And I said, I haven't 73 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.800 seen a kuyd that shoot that bad. 74 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.800 Oh yeah, well kill him, you know. And you were 75 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.360 talking about the defense too, because I think maybe teams 76 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.080 are kind of starting to figure out that little press 77 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.560 of the Wildcats, you know, rolled out like three or 78 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.919 four weeks ago that was really effective. But this last 79 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.319 game it looked like they maybe have you know, eased up. 80 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.800 And the thing is they moved him a little bit 81 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.280 in half court again. And Arizona we all know, is 82 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.280 that's the crypto. Yeah, and guess what happens in the tournament. 83 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.639 Teams keeps go in the fifties, sixties. Yeah, and that's 84 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.520 Arizona's a big, big problem. 85 00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.360 Well, that's what teams need to do against Arizona, because 86 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.240 I know that yea, you know, the Arizona his advantages 87 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.560 when they get up into the eighties, pretty much gonna 88 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.680 win those games. Although I don't know if you guys 89 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.199 caught any of that ASU game last night. 90 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.840 It was fantastic, one hundreds. It was fantastic. It was 91 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.280 like good horrible basketball. 92 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.520 Yeah, I actually turned it on, like going into the 93 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.759 second overtime, like what is going on? It's still on. 94 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.480 It was like a Morden three to one oh three. 95 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.240 Did you watch the Houston Kansas game at ye? So 96 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.959 there's no way Houston should have won the game. 97 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.560 There was no way. 98 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.199 They were dead in regulations, dead and overtime and they 99 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.399 eventually won the game. It was like Houdini showed up 100 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.199 and as you should have never lost that game, first 101 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.959 regular season regular you know, regular play, overtime and double overtime, 102 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:36.639 and they still lost. 103 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.160 Yeah, it's just the way. 104 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.360 Sometimes you see you have season like that he's having 105 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:42.240 this season. 106 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.240 And yeah, all eyes are on him, and it's interesting 107 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.759 to see how things finished for him because it's been 108 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.360 a rough I don't know, last few weeks. 109 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:51.439 So you missed, I watched it. 110 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.399 I watched a lot of it. 111 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.680 Because I was just interested in they were playing really 112 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.199 well comparatively so and he's not as he wasn't yesterday. 113 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.800 He wasn't animated. He wasn't going crazy. He was in 114 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.839 his black you know, quarters zip or whatever, and he 115 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.839 looked fine. It was like he was not Maybe and 116 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.000 I don't know, maybe he doesn't I don't want them 117 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.839 all the time. Maybe it is just for Arizona where 118 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:12.399 he kind of goes. 119 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.519 But yeah, maybe he's kind of resolved the fact that 120 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.040 this could be the end too. And that's it. Checking 121 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.600 in with his big brother, that's it, Dave. 122 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.639 I mean, that's that's probably because I'm sure that that 123 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.560 he's been told, you know, come a tone of down 124 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:29.160 and guess what dig this next month off because because 125 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:30.240 it may not be another month. 126 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.240 Yeah, I mean there's not who knows. I mean, he's 127 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.000 had chances. He got to tournament kind of, you know 128 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.040 with some of these playing games. 129 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.480 Yeah, so yeah, we'll see what happens with them. They 130 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.959 play obviously March fourth, Tuesday. I think it is here 131 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.920 in Michale. That should be fun with him coming down. Uh, 132 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.879 and then we have Saturday's game. You read it. You 133 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.399 just pointed something out to me that I hadn't seen yet. 134 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.560 A story on Kelvin Sampson. 135 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.120 Yeah, I mean a good piece on on on Samson 136 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.920 on I guess it's SI dot Com the Houston and 137 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.319 it was, you know, very He's very complimentary of the 138 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.000 u of A and his time, especially in his you know, 139 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.040 his time with Washington State when he would come down here, 140 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.759 he you know, had a good relationship with Loot and 141 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.560 he really enjoyed Bobby and just enjoyed he under you know, 142 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.399 he was, you know, just watching this Wildcat program blossom 143 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.199 those years too. I mean they were getting good and 144 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.639 they were good, and then they really got good during 145 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.959 his time. And I don't did he ever beat him? 146 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:24.399 And they didn't. 147 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.600 They have a crazy streak. It was like thirty nine 148 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.079 forty in a row. In fact, I talked to a 149 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.319 mathematician and desk him, how does that happen? Yeah, you know, 150 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.079 he said, he gave me some weird numbers, like he doesn't. Yeah, 151 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.639 you have to win a game in there somewhere. And 152 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.000 he's had a couple wins, right, didn't he? When he 153 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.360 was at Oklahoma, didn't they knock off the Wildcats? I 154 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.319 can't remember if they played back. I don't really, I 155 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.639 don't know that. Maybe it wasn't maybe it wasn't him, 156 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.759 but he had a you know here, Dave, you know, 157 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.920 here's this guy who didn't have a lot of success 158 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.040 against Arizona. And I said this before we started the show, 159 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.240 that in my mind, and we try to get try 160 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.759 to get him on Yes three and today, but he 161 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.199 can't because they're practicing the time we were on the air, 162 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.279 so he couldn't it. But I was telling you that, 163 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.079 in my mind, he's probably the most popular ex former 164 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.439 opponent coach in my time here because you know, he's 165 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.279 kind of part of the Native American I think he's 166 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.959 got some Native American and and and people here. He 167 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.319 was likable, you know, he's likable, you know, and he 168 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.399 brought a bad Washington State team and you're in the 169 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.279 Pac twelve tournament at ten tournament at the time. People 170 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.160 kind of embraced him and cheered him. 171 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.800 He had a good personality too, you know, when he 172 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.560 would talk to media and talk on TV. You know, again, 173 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.160 he was he was well mannered. I don't know how 174 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.920 to put it. You know, he was just you just 175 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.959 didn't you know, you didn't dislike him like you do 176 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.560 other coaches who just maybe have that's a sneer to 177 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:44.360 themselves or a personality exactly. He's the opposite of Henry 178 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.639 Bibby or just about every other coach in that period. 179 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.439 I mean, there are some great classic coaches at the beginning, 180 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.040 and then he was kind of you know, as Loot 181 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.519 was coming in. You know, there was the old school 182 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.240 guys Marv Harshman and Ralph Miller and George Traveling. He 183 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.240 was kind of did he replaced Rattling. He was kind 184 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.920 of in period, you know a little bit after Raveling. 185 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.000 But there was that whole generation that lou was kind 186 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.920 of part of. And then this next generation came in 187 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.439 and he was you know, they would always finish in 188 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.360 you know, fourth or they've never finished any higher. They'd 189 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.920 always kind of be blocked by Arizona, you set, Washing 190 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:18.560 Washing State. 191 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.279 Yeah, Yeah, and they and they were never Yeah. And 192 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.800 it's a place, like I've said before, like Mexico, Mexico State, 193 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.800 all out of states where you go and you better 194 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.279 hope you do really well. You're gonna get fired. It's 195 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.480 a place to get fired. But you get your feet wet, 196 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.439 maybe maybe you find magic in the ball and you go. 197 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:32.279 And he did. 198 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.960 He was successful enough to get out of there to 199 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.440 go to Oklahoma and then later Indiana. Yeah, I didn't 200 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.559 get a little trouble. 201 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.720 But yeah, but you know, and then he kind of 202 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.519 kind of remited. It was hidden away in Houston for 203 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.320 a few years. Well, he was the NBA. He went 204 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.039 to the Rockets year with the Ruggets, but even when 205 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.559 he got to college was kind of like, oh, he's 206 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.519 the next thing, you know. You know, they're in the 207 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.320 top five, you know, beating up people. 208 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.320 And then Arizona, you know, face them two three years 209 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.799 ago and got roughed up and guess what's going to 210 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.519 happen again Saturday. His same style hasn't changed. Yeah, it's rough, 211 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.200 and you were talking about the defense. I delibit possessions. 212 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.759 They'd like to play it slower, they'd like to be physical, 213 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.120 and we'll see if Arizona can find that out again 214 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:15.159 and find themselves again. 215 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:15.440 Yeah. 216 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.879 I mean it's going to be one of those marquee 217 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.039 games we've had, you know, the Duke Games in the 218 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.799 Iowa States and things like that, and this is going 219 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.759 to be right up there with that national TV again, 220 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.679 you know, middle of the day on a Saturday. 221 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.679 Yet beat that. We got about five six minutes. Let 222 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.440 me tell you the sequence here. We have Steve Quis, 223 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.639 former Arizona sportscaster. 224 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.799 I guess he was a guy. 225 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.360 He was at nine or thirteen, thirteen thirteen in your 226 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.840 time here. He's in San Diego now doing college sports 227 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.759 for various ESPN and some of those guys. He'll be 228 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.080 on at three seventeen, and then we're going to have 229 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.679 Javier Morales from All Sports Tucson talking about the local 230 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.879 playoffs going on today or this week, and the rest 231 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.559 of the weeks were soccer in those type of sports 232 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.240 and basketball boys and girls. So we'll get to that 233 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:07.919 was it gonna talk about with with Kelvin. So we 234 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.720 ended up in Houston, YadA, YadA. Uh, the same same guy, 235 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.519 same player, Uh, same players, and they should have gone 236 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.639 to the final four last year. They did two years, 237 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.279 but their main guy got hurt. You remember, he got. 238 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.120 Right in that Sweet guard, Sweet sixteen or the Elite. 239 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.200 Eight, one of those as I picked him to win, 240 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.240 and I'm thinking they're done, they're done, and he was fantastic. 241 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.559 Yeah, and they got beat So. 242 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.320 But there was something else I was gonna say, So 243 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.320 we'll see, we'll see what he says on Saturday. 244 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.919 Yeah, it's good. It really shows just the great depth 245 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.320 of the Big twelve. I think we all kind of 246 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.080 knew that coming in. You know, you look down the 247 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.799 line and there's teams, you know, even like you know, 248 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.480 b YU, teams that really haven't had great seasons, but 249 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.399 they're like twelve in the conference. It's just hard to 250 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.320 believe sometimes that you know, the U of A has 251 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.000 kind of jumped over everybody and kind of you know, 252 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.480 sitting pretty good at number two at this point. 253 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.519 So you were here a little bit longer than me. 254 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.120 You got about eighty three is out here in eighty seven. 255 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.159 What are the big games you remember that you know 256 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.159 it came through here other than teams not named Duke. 257 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.399 You know, Duke came here a couple of times, and 258 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.320 those were the marquee games. But the games that you 259 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.639 know had some buzz to them. 260 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.919 Boy, Yeah, when you're trying to think of some of 261 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.120 the moments, I mean, when Shawn Elliott broke the Pac 262 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.720 twelve Pac ten scoring record, that was a big game. 263 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.320 UCLA was here when they win Arizona loss to cal 264 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.240 with the Jason Kidd Laman Murray shot, that was a 265 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.879 big game. The best thing that was going for a 266 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.000 number of years, probably ten years, was that Fiesta Bowl Classic. Yeah, 267 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.879 we had right around New Year's in between Christmas and 268 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.799 New year I was brought in. You know nowadays that 269 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.039 would never happen, but you bring in, you know, three 270 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.000 teams that were in the top twenty usually yeah, and 271 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.720 one of those teams was going to lose twice and 272 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.519 they were That's kind of what kind of killed it 273 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.159 is it that I don't want to come to Deuson 274 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.799 to lose to Well, I. 275 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.279 Guess Sean played in it right, maybe a time or two, 276 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.120 I think because Lut's final one of his final times 277 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.639 was Roz replaced him. Remember they played Mississippi State. I 278 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.840 want to say Bobby was very ill at the time 279 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.919 and he left the team for a little bit and 280 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.919 they lost. The only game they ever lost in the 281 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.200 tournament was Roz's game. 282 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.840 I wanted to say. One of the greatest was the 283 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:20.000 year that was a duke Florida Michigan State. I mean yeah, 284 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.919 it was like I remember I went to the banquet 285 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.919 and it was hilarious because there was like Judd Heath 286 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:25.879 coach who was he was you know, he was Magic 287 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.919 Johnson's college coach and he was just you know, your 288 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.600 perfect speaker, and that kind of a crowd and then 289 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.080 Norm Sloan was the coach at Florida who used to 290 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.759 wear these crazy like Bobby Knight check her jackets. He 291 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.159 was there, and I think it was coach k Maybe 292 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.360 I'm wrong. People who were there might want to chime 293 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.360 in on that one, but it was one of those classics. 294 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.159 I can't believe these teams are all and they all 295 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.480 stay at Vintana Canyon and so it was one of 296 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.519 those great Christmas tournaments that it doesn't happen anymore. 297 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.159 I remember because we'd go we have the media, they 298 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.559 would allow the media there, Yeah, for the party, kind 299 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.960 of like you know, in between the media sessions and stuff. 300 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.960 Yeah, so we go up. I mean, those are those 301 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.759 are great moments. Obviously, there were so many, you know, 302 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.559 the Duke games that were here that were just kind 303 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.720 of one off the UNLV games here. Remember when he 304 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.960 because at Kagun. We had some you know, we had 305 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.240 the ABC games where Vital was here and yeah, Tarcany 306 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.840 and I mean it was just a great, unbelievable atmosphere was. 307 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.879 I don't remember though, those those games. I know I 308 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.759 went up to the Vegas game in eighty nine, eighty nine, 309 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.080 and then they later lost to them in eighty nine. 310 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.120 I think it was the chance. It might have been 311 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.240 eighty seven or eighty eight season. Maybe maybe January non 312 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.279 conference game or December non conference. 313 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.559 Yeah, at the end of the end of the stuff, 314 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.960 you know, they had the North Carolina game. Loots one 315 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.559 of his last hurrahs and it was a bad, bad 316 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.000 one of his first worst games here ever. Marcus Williams 317 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.519 was playing at the time. Chase I think was here, 318 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.799 but Michigan State came through a defending champ I think, 319 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.559 and Yukon came through here. Kansas came through some of 320 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.759 those Syracuse Syracuse. 321 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.320 Remember, and you know they always had that reck mutation 322 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.960 of losing that game right after right before before Christmas, 323 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.559 they were in takeoff. They lose that December twenty third game. 324 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.159 All well, your year, did you what you want with me? 325 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.440 When I had friends Officilla on, I don't know.

He says, yeah, we 329 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.360 figured that we can go in. That team was already 330 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.120 delivered to get the hell out of town. And it was. 331 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.200 It was one of those games. Well, yeah, the students 332 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.679 were out there and it was always it was usually 333 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.000 a pretty good matchup.

I remember Syracuse came in 340 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.360 because Beheim was here, Jim Calhoun with Yukon I think 341 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.000 was around that time of the calendar, you know, and 342 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.039 they were great, you know, made for TV moments. 343 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.360 No, no, no, that's and that's what made Tucson and 344 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.720 so because and look great because they didn't shy away 345 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.320 from that stuff.
