00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>And almost exactly two hours we'll get our first Sweet

4
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 2>sixteen game tipped off. And we spent some time earlier

5
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Alabama BYU game. In fact, it's come

6
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>up here and there throughout the week, just because I

7
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 2>think when you consider both teams their style of play.

8
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Alabama is a team that's coming off of a Final

9
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Four a year ago, and there's really not anything about

10
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>them as far as the resume or even the analytics,

11
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>if you're somebody who pays attention to that kind of stuff,

12
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing that would indicate that they're not good enough

13
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>to get back to a Final four, maybe win the

14
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. It's just at times, they've looked a little

15
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>bit complacent looking. They've looked not bored, but just vulnerable

16
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>in a way that they shouldn't because they're loaded with talent.

17
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>By the way I mean Alabama is. I mean Mark

18
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Sears is one of the best point guards in the country.

19
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>He has been that for the last couple of years.

20
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's a special player. And Grant Nelson

21
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 2>another guy who was instrumental in their final four run

22
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>last year, who's back? And you know overall, I mean,

23
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>they're sitting at number six in the kin Pom there.

24
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Every one of their losses outside of one is to

25
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 2>really really good teams. In fact, they are twenty seven

26
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and eight and only wow, this is this is We

27
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>talked yesterday about teams in the Sweet sixteen that have

28
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>wins against other teams in the Sweet sixteen. Auburn has

29
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>more than anybody because they've got some really impressive SEC

30
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>wins obviously, but they also went out of conference and

31
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 2>beat Houston and I believe it was Purdue, so Alabama.

32
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of thinking maybe I shouldn't trust him

33
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>to cover here, but during the break, Austin and I

34
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>all I needed. All I needed was him to give

35
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>me the nudge because I was leaning, Look, when it

36
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>comes down to it, both teams want to do the

37
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>same thing. One team is simply better at that. If

38
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>they were playing a team that was really good at

39
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 2>taking away pace and possessions, be a different story. But

40
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>that's what BYU wants to do. And I just think

41
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna get in the ring with somebody that's better

42
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>at doing what they want to do. But anyways, I'm

43
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>now taking Bama to cover tonight and their losses. The

44
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 2>only loss they have to a team that's not left

45
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament is Oregon, who just lost a close

46
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>game in the round of thirty two to Arizona and

47
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>then also they lost to Missouri. Other than that, they've

48
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>got losses to Florida twice, see Auburn, Ole, miss and Purdue.

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>All those teams are still dancing. So as much as

50
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>at times I feel like they've looked complacent and I,

51
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, eight losses, I guess that's I mean, that's

52
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 2>to me, that's not a ton But anyways, I'm trusting Bama.

53
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it'll be something because the reason I've gone so

54
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 2>back and forth on this one is that when I've

55
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>watched Alabama at times this year, again, I've never doubted

56
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>like what they can do. It's like, Okay, are they

57
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>really in it? Did they get bored after a final four?

58
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Are they not hungry to get back there and maybe

59
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>cut down nets at a final four? But it's never

60
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>been about like, you know, again, questioning what they can do.

61
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like are they in it? And NATO It's is

62
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>a good enough coach to where I just don't see

63
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>his team in this moment coming out coming out flat.

64
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>But BYU again, when you look at what they've done

65
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>since early February, I mean their only loss was in

66
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the Big twelve Tournament to Houston, who you know, is

67
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>a once and one of the best teams in the country,

68
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>so should be a good game. That'll be the first one.

69
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 2>And then after that you have Maryland Florida and Florida

70
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Florida minus six and a half. As much as I

71
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>love Maryland and I've talked about him here and there

72
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>throughout the year, just because I think despite not having

73
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of depth and despite not having you know,

74
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 2>consistent shooting, like, they got guys who can get hot,

75
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>and they've got a freshman who's really really good, and

76
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I think Kevin Willard's a good coach. I just I

77
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>was so some would say Florida looked vulnerable because they

78
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, they needed a late run and maybe some

79
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 2>luck too. I mean that's not a knock at them,

80
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>but I think when you continue to move on in

81
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>the tournament, sometimes you're going to look back at a

82
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>game that was close and realized that you were fortunate

83
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 2>because of a good call or maybe just a bad

84
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>break that went against the opponent, but they needed that

85
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>late run against Duke. I'm sorry against Yukon to pull through,

86
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 2>but it made me more impressed with Florida than I've

87
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>ever been, just because that game was played at the

88
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>way Yukon wanted to play it as far as style.

89
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>It was a low grind, physical, beat you up kind

90
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>of match up and they prevailed. And I know Yukon

91
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>is was clearly not the same team they were the

92
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>previous two seasons, but Florida was in a tough spot

93
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>where it looked like they were they were about to

94
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're about to slip, and they they didn't.

95
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 2>And Walter Clayton Junior clearly one of the best guards

96
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>in the country. I've never seen somebody.

97
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Have.

98
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe i'm i'm I'm maybe using the the

99
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>young terminology incorrectly here, But uh, do they still say

100
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 2>in his bag Austin, is that still a thing?

101
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 3>That's still a thing because he's.

102
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Got he's got he's got some tools in his bag

103
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of people would know how to use.

104
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 3>Hear me out like he can.

105
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Get sped up and then just stop on a dime

106
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and elevate and square up and just knock down shots

107
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 2>that sometimes aren't super contested, but like even get there

108
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>to just you know, to elevate and get a look.

109
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a shot most people wouldn't be comfortable taking. That's

110
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>why I say he's got some tools that most wouldn't

111
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 2>know how to use. He knows how to use them,

112
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and he's very efficient at using them. Oh, he's him,

113
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he is him. He's he is really good.

114
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>And you know, he was struggling against against Yukon. I mean,

115
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>at least for a stretch. I don't even know what

116
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>his numbers were. I'll pull it up here. Against Yukon,

117
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>he had twenty three and he made yes. So but

118
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>he was he was one of six from the floor

119
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>from two point range, and I remember seeing maybe all

120
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>of those misses and I'm thinking, Okay, this guy's just

121
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 2>not as night. He's coming up short, shots just aren't falling.

122
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I remember three of his shots just very

123
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>much just being short, and sure enough, he ended up

124
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>catching fire. And doesn't mean he's going to be able

125
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>to do that again. But I just think Florida kind

126
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 2>of getting that real big challenge against a team with

127
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 2>championship pedigree and then being able to kind of pull

128
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>through like they should be writing a lot.

129
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Of momentum right now, and Maryland really give them credit.

130
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Hell of a bucket game winner by the freshman Derrek Queen,

131
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 2>and he certainly has made the most of that moment

132
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>by what he said afterwards. And you know, he's just

133
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>been He's been great all year for Maryland, but I

134
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's finally getting a lot of attention because

135
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 2>they've moved on here to the Sweet sixteen. And of

136
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 2>course I believe he's the only one who hit a

137
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 2>buzzer beater to end a game in the first weekend.

138
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, this Maryland team, I like him. I just

139
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>don't like him against this Florida squad because Florida's I mean,

140
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I think they're the best team in the country. But

141
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason that these sports books make a lot

142
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>of money. One of them is because they know how

143
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to set lines that make it really tough for you

144
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to decide which way to go when it comes to

145
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 2>betting against the spread. Because I think Alabama is four

146
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 2>and a half. I feel confident in that one, just

147
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 2>because if Alabema wins. I don't see it being by

148
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think they'll probably win this thing by

149
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>seven to eight. But Maryland Florida, like that's where like

150
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I could see Maryland being down you know, twelve thirteen

151
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 2>points and then making a late push. But what has

152
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.519
<v Speaker 2>me more so leaning Florida minus six and a half

153
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>is that when you end up playing a really good

154
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 2>team and you and you give up a big run

155
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 2>and you're you know, do you dig yourself a hole?

156
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Technically you're still in it, right, It's possible for you

157
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>to mount to come back. I mean, look, it's not

158
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>like you're down thirty. But good teams like if they

159
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>are able to give themselves some distance, create some separation.

160
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I should say.

161
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:33.440
<v Speaker 3>You got to keep in.

162
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Mind you can do everything on your end to get

163
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 2>right and get yourself back in it to an extent,

164
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>but when you've given up so much early on and

165
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>you've dug such a hole, you got to bank on

166
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that team kind of you know, unraveling a little bit,

167
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>not combusting, but just you know, being off their game,

168
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>getting complacent, and that can happen. In fact, maybe maybe

169
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 2>it happens tonight. But a lot of these teams that

170
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>got here that's not in their DNA because they're good teams,

171
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>and that's that. That is one of the factors that

172
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I think makes this second weekend with really good teams

173
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>better than having a Cinderella there, because now maybe it

174
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>won't make for exciting finishes or big come from behind

175
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 2>victories for somebody, which again I guess that would be

176
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>entertaining to see. But like Florida's the kind of team

177
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>that if they end up getting up seventeen in the

178
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>first half against Maryland, nobody'd be surprised. And the scenario

179
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 2>where Maryland comes back and wins almost seems impossible because again,

180
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>teams are going to make their runs.

181
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 3>It happens.

182
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Even when you have like top five teams playing teams

183
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>in the three hundred, you see runs happen. But when

184
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>you get to this late in the season, these teams

185
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.320
<v Speaker 2>have played so many games. Again, everybody in this field

186
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of sixteen is a really good team and has been

187
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>a good team all year outside of Arkansas just because

188
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>you know they were late bloomers, as I guess would

189
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 2>be the best way to describe it. So it's not interesting,

190
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>but there's no dogs barking in these first two games

191
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>for me, Austin, I think both both plays here are

192
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Florida mintus six and a half in Alabama minus four

193
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and a half, and you're leaning in Arizona plus nine

194
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and a half. And I just I'm going with my

195
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 2>my heart on that. Okay, then that tells me all

196
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I need to know.

197
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So if I'm gonna be transparent with you on

198
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 4>what I'm feeling like because I've told you when I

199
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 4>get that stomach feeling, I can tell you. But I

200
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 4>just I'm just trying to go with the I'm trying

201
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 4>to ride Arizona as my emotional final team to really

202
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of that's what's kept me more or less caring

203
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 4>about the tournament other than betting for it obviously, But

204
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 4>I would like to see something big for them.

205
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>But like I feel like if that's the case, if

206
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>that's the case, like and you're you know, you're it's

207
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>for the it's the fan element?

208
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Is it play here? Wouldn't it be to win, not

209
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 3>just to cover? You know what I mean?

210
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Like, sure if you win, if you win a parlay

211
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>in Arizona loss, but they covered plus nine and a half, Like, well,

212
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 2>I just want them.

213
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 4>To play really good then, yeah, that you know what

214
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 4>I mean, And so it would be an added bonus

215
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 4>if they did.

216
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 2>When I get it, I've I've made wagers that you know,

217
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and I like to do both. I enjoy let's see

218
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>betting games that it's there's no element of emotion involved,

219
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>it's just I have It's I don't care at all

220
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>who wins. I'm just going to try to figure out

221
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 2>what I think is going to happen and try to

222
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 2>make some money doing it. Then I have the you know,

223
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the fan bets that are more so in fact, mostly

224
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>they're they're put together based off of what I want

225
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 2>to happen, maybe not necessarily what I believe will happen,

226
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>and when those win, like that's the best of both worlds, right,

227
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 2>But those are obviously a lot of all right, absolutely,

228
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>although Louisville early when they were hot in January, if

229
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>you would take them to cover you were you were

230
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>making money.

231
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 3>You're looking pretty nice. Yeah.

232
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 4>So Arizona is man plus four twenty five, like and

233
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Duke is minus five seventy five. So they're like, it's

234
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 4>like it's to the book. So it's like it's a

235
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 4>no brainer. It's obvious it's a lock. So I mean,

236
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm I'm sort of scared of that. But plus four

237
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty five isn't isn't.

238
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 3>Bad, bait?

239
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I do have five dollars in the account.

240
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Put it all on it, baby, I mean bet at

241
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 2>big time. I just, I just I just looked this

242
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 2>up because I wasn't I wasn't away. Obviously, Caleb Love

243
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>has played against Duke a lot of times because he

244
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>was at Carolina for I feel like ten years and

245
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 2>then he's been at Arizona for.

246
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 3>A couple more.

247
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Did he play did he play at Michigan or did

248
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>go to Michigan and he couldn't get in? That's what

249
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 2>it was, right, he couldn't get in at Michigan. Yeah,

250
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>so he ended up So he's only played at those

251
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.759
<v Speaker 2>two schools. But anyways, he's clearly, you know, energized to

252
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to go up against the Dukies once more. Obviously,

253
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>if if Carolina, sorry, if Arizona's able to beat Duke somehow,

254
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 2>then like Carolina, should you know, retire his number, because

255
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>that would you know that rivalry is real. And I'm

256
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 2>sure I don't know if you're a Carolina fan since

257
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Love left, Like, are you cheering against him?

258
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Like, We've never had that happen.

259
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 2>At least yet to where we lost a player that

260
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>like was like Caleb Love played in the National Championship

261
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago. So to see him playing elsewhere

262
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 2>for a program, you know, meaning he was at a

263
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>program like Carol Line of you would never think would

264
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>lose players. But obviously there was a tricky dynamic there

265
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 2>between him and R. J.

266
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Davis.

267
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 2>That was a backward that got you to a title.

268
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>And then they couldn't work lead on Kansas.

269
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

270
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, they were up ten a half and they choked

271
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 2>it away like a bunch of bums. I made a

272
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of money in that tournament. I would have made

273
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot more had they won that game. And I

274
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>bet them money line as dogs and they were up

275
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>ten and half and lost.

276
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just Hubert Hubert Davis for you.

277
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, there's a rite up here from the Associated

278
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Press that tells you what Caleb Love has done in

279
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>his previous games against against Duke, which trying to skim

280
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.399
<v Speaker 2>through here, this will be this, this is the second

281
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 2>time he will have played Duke in the postseason, right,

282
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So he.

283
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Hit the game winner against him to go to the

284
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:48.799
<v Speaker 4>to the final championship game.

285
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>How did I forget about that legendary coach last game.

286
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I forgot about that. Yeah, he hit that dagger three

287
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 2>against Duke in Shoushewsky's final game. I forgot about that

288
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>because at the end, like Kay got owned by Duke,

289
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't or Kay got owned by Carolina on his way out, which.

290
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 4>They like they lost in the they was the ACC

291
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 4>tournament to them too, Yeah.

292
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't And I forgot that. They played earlier

293
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 2>this year and obviously Duke held on to win, but

294
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>that was when Duke was kind of like when Duke

295
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 2>lost to because because if you look at and this

296
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>makes total sense for a team that was built the

297
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>way that they're built. But when Duke lost to Kentucky

298
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 2>and then Kansas earlier this year, you know, there was

299
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.519
<v Speaker 2>some question of Okay, like they're talented, and they look

300
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>like they've got an elite talent Cooper Flag looks looks legit.

301
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.799
<v Speaker 2>But they started the season four and two and in

302
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 2>their first you know, first six games, two of their

303
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker 2>wins were again I mean, I guess, yeah, I'm sorry.

304
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 2>They beat Arizona, and at the time everybody thought Arizona's

305
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna be good, and then we realized later on that

306
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Arizona wasn't that great. So in the game they played

307
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>earlier this year, it was actually in twoson right, Yeah,

308
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.679
<v Speaker 2>that was on the road, true road game for Duke.

309
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.720
<v Speaker 2>They played them at Arizona, right, and Duke Duke won

310
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.759
<v Speaker 2>by fourteen, And Caleb Love did not have a good

311
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 2>game in that one. He was three or thirteen with

312
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>just eight points. So he's five and four over all

313
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>about that game. In his five seasons as a college player,

314
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Love is five and four straight up against Duke,

315
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>And I'm trying to see what is Yeah. For his career,

316
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>he averaged sixteen points on thirty seven point six percent shooting,

317
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 2>and he scored twenty or more three times, including that

318
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight point performance in the twenty twenty two final four.

319
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:42.000
<v Speaker 2>So it sounds like he's he's you know, he's not

320
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>super efficient, but he's other than the game. Yeah, other

321
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.039
<v Speaker 2>than the game earlier this year, he's been he's been productive.

322
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>I just don't you know. Again, I if I knew

323
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.039
<v Speaker 2>more about Arizona, i'd feel a little bit more confident

324
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.080
<v Speaker 2>in this one. But I know a lot about Duke,

325
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and I think they're scary talented.

326
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 3>And this is where you just you know, you.

327
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Got to you got to chalk it up as the

328
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.159
<v Speaker 2>books just knowing how to get you, because I think

329
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>nine and a half is the perfect number here.

330
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.519
<v Speaker 3>When I say that, I mean it's.

331
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Very hard to decide which way to go because nine

332
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and a half, like part of me says, Arizona should

333
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 2>be able to keep it within single digits if they

334
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.360
<v Speaker 2>play well. But then again, you know, if Duke ends

335
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>up winning this thing by seventeen, I'm not going.

336
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 3>To be shocked either.

337
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Sure, this one screams stay away, but I can't stay away.

338
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.240
<v Speaker 4>It's the sweet sixteen to who the books think we are,

339
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:30.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean, stay away.

340
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Never never heard of her?

341
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't know her, don't want to know her. And

342
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 2>then the Arkansas Texas Tech Game, I may do a

343
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 2>straight bet just to take Arkansas money line, because I

344
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 2>just when it's plus five and a half, I just

345
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I and I truly think that, like them, winning wouldn't

346
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>be a real big surprise. I'm gonna parlay and I'm

347
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna put Arkansas plus five and a half, but I'm

348
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna do money line as well. As as a side bed,

349
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 2>just because you know that's something I'm not in the

350
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 2>necessarily like super confident in. But I really think that

351
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>game's kind of come down to being a toss up,

352
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>which is why I'm trusting that Arkansas plus five and

353
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 2>a half will you know, we'll we'll be a safe bet,

354
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 2>but again, you never know. I mean, look, it's all luck.

355
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I love I love betting on college hoops, and I've

356
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>been you know, I've had some good, good days, bad

357
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>days overall. But if I was really good at.

358
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 3>It, you know, I wouldn't be doing this.

359
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 4>Probably if you were to place a four leg parlay

360
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.319
<v Speaker 4>right now on all the underdogs a plus money teams

361
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 4>to win, five dollars will get you seven hundred and

362
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 4>seventy eight dollars.

363
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that reminds me of something my dad sent me

364
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.920
<v Speaker 2>earlier today, because he he every now and then will

365
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>share with me what he's betting. And he made a

366
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>bet on Sunday. And if I know my dad, I

367
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 2>think I know how this played out. He made a

368
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 2>bet on Sunday and one of those things that he

369
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.079
<v Speaker 2>bet was Kentucky winning, so like he didn't want to

370
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>watch them winning, so probably just like, you know, the

371
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.799
<v Speaker 2>get all emotional bet checked out, but like he knew

372
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 2>that maybe it would be good for the for the

373
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 2>for the account, but like, I don't want to see

374
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 2>it happen, right, because nobody wants to see your rival

375
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:15.559
<v Speaker 2>win and dance on, especially when you lost. But my

376
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.000
<v Speaker 2>dad did a four leg parlay where he did the

377
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Saint Mary's and Alabama game, and he did same game

378
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 2>parlays in these two matchups. So he took Alabama minus

379
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.640
<v Speaker 2>twelve and a half hit, he took under one fifty

380
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 2>one and a half hit. In the Kentucky Illinois game,

381
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.839
<v Speaker 2>he took Kentucky minus five and a half. They covered clearly,

382
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, he got that live. These were

383
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.880
<v Speaker 2>live bets. And then he got the under one sixty

384
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 2>two and a half. So he put five dollars and

385
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>that was plus over eleven hundred and the five bucks

386
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.000
<v Speaker 2>paid sixty. And I'm thinking, Dad, if you bet like

387
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you imagine mean again, just think about it,

388
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 2>like if five bucks got you sixty, imagine if you

389
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.880
<v Speaker 2>bet twenty, Imagine if you bet fifty, which I net.

390
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Look I I normally if I'm betting something like ten

391
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.440
<v Speaker 2>dollars is now like a rare thing, but usually I'm

392
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.759
<v Speaker 2>between like fifteen and twenty twenty five in most like

393
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in most bets, but I'm not like making fifty bets

394
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a day, like I'm doing parlays for the most part.

395
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 2>But when we get later in the tournament, like I'll

396
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.200
<v Speaker 2>bet fifty bucks on something just because I know that,

397
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is my time to you know, bet

398
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.519
<v Speaker 2>more than I typically do, because I'll stop betting for

399
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.119
<v Speaker 2>months as soon as college basketball ends. I may get

400
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.279
<v Speaker 2>in on the NBA, but like I probably won't.

401
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 3>Because it'll be here.

402
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's the example I always use, at least whenever I'm

403
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>looking at numbers, I guess more than anything, wasting time

404
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and trying to, you know, come up with what I

405
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 2>think is going to happen and make a formulated guess

406
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 2>essentially as far as.

407
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.839
<v Speaker 3>My bet that that's action that's fun for me.

408
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 2>That's at least making me feel like, you know, if

409
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I do win, well, hell yeah, I know what I'm doing.

410
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Eat that sports book.

411
00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>But if I'm betting on something and like I wouldn't

412
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:01.839
<v Speaker 2>even know what to look up to make a to

413
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.839
<v Speaker 2>make an educated get you know, pick and bet, then

414
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 2>it's like just going and pulling the lever on a

415
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.559
<v Speaker 2>slot machine. And look, if you win money on a

416
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:10.759
<v Speaker 2>slot machine, hell yeah, winning money in any ways awesome.

417
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's more fun at least for me whenever it's

418
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.559
<v Speaker 2>something that, like, at least I can convince myself and

419
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>lie to myself and say, you know what, well, you

420
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.119
<v Speaker 2>you're just that good man, like you know your stuff, brother,

421
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Like that's that's what I'm telling myself whenever I do

422
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 2>research and I win. I mean, look, winning is winning,

423
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 2>and it's all at the end of the day, it's

424
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.720
<v Speaker 2>all luck. But college basketball lets me kind of disguise

425
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 2>it to where I could you know, it's it's a

426
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>fun ride, all right. Quick break will come back on

427
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the other side. A lot more to get into before

428
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.079
<v Speaker 2>we get out of here, so stick around. It is

429
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company fuel by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.

430
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on

431
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

432
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll kind of have a rapid fire here as we

433
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.319
<v Speaker 2>close out the show. When I say rapid fire, I

434
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 2>mean rapid fire of topics. This is I mean, I

435
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.559
<v Speaker 2>won't say I'm plugged in as to what's going on

436
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 2>with former Kentucky women's basketball coaches. But Matthew Mitchell, years

437
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 2>after retiring and being away from coaching, has decided to

438
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 2>coach again. So Houston has hired him. And I don't

439
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:09.720
<v Speaker 2>know a whole lot about I mean, I think his

440
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.359
<v Speaker 2>retirement initially was like health related, but like he was

441
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.200
<v Speaker 2>really successful for UK women's basketball and stepped away. I

442
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>guess just because he was done. Maybe there's more to

443
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 2>it than I know. I'm sure there is, but you know,

444
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know he was looking to get back in.

445
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.559
<v Speaker 2>But he's now coaching at a Big twelve school, so

446
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he's been gone for a long time.

447
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:34.720
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Matthew Mitchell heading back into coaching. Also, the

448
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.119
<v Speaker 2>comment earlier that I referenced from Tom Izoh that made

449
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 2>me laugh, I mean, it's really not that funny. More

450
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:43.599
<v Speaker 2>than anything, it's just it speaks to my maturity, I think.

451
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 2>But he was asked about the joy from winning NCAA

452
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.160
<v Speaker 2>tournament games, which I mean, I feel like, no matter

453
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.519
<v Speaker 2>what you've done, how much you've accomplished, to know that

454
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it's winner go home, outside of being like a sick

455
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.920
<v Speaker 2>versa one or I'm sorry a one versus sixteen, or

456
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.920
<v Speaker 2>a two versus fifteen, and maybe even a three verses

457
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:09.799
<v Speaker 2>of fourteen. I feel like, you know, outside of that,

458
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>really the round of thirty two on, I feel like,

459
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.640
<v Speaker 2>no matter who you are, because you know that if

460
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 2>you lose, it's over, even if you are a one

461
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>seat playing an eight seed, like there should be not

462
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>necessarily like ultimate satisfaction as if you've accomplished the ultimate goal.

463
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:25.160
<v Speaker 2>But I do think, you know, once you've gotten to

464
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 2>the sweet sixteen, regardless of expectations, was there's a sign

465
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>of relief that you got past that hurdle. Right now

466
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 2>you got two more games to see if you can

467
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.359
<v Speaker 2>get to a final four. Well, tom Izzo, he's made

468
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.039
<v Speaker 2>many final fours. He only has one national championship. And

469
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.839
<v Speaker 2>I say that like it's you know, anybody having a

470
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.079
<v Speaker 2>national championship is something that they should, you know, be

471
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 2>celebrated for. But his came so long ago, and he's

472
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 2>been so good since that championship. He just hasn't broke

473
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 2>through to win another one. And I really like tom

474
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Izzo because I think what you see is what you get.

475
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I think he's done a pretty good job of balancing

476
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 2>the New World right, Like he hasn't made a complete

477
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:05.759
<v Speaker 2>identity switch, and he's made the necessary adjustments, but he's

478
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:09.000
<v Speaker 2>still kind of himself like his is this Michigan State team.

479
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 2>One of the reasons why I think they're they're they've

480
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 2>got a good chance to make a Final four is

481
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 2>because like, this isn't his O kind of team, Like

482
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a team that I feel like when I

483
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.720
<v Speaker 2>watched them play, they've got his DNA.

484
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 3>All over them.

485
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Like they they're tough, they're balanced, They're not relying upon

486
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:23.920
<v Speaker 2>one guy to go get twenty a night for you

487
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 2>to beat good teams. I mean, they're as balance as

488
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.880
<v Speaker 2>any team in the country. So Iso, you know, he's

489
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>he wears his heart on his sleeve whenever he was

490
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>asked about, like a lot of coaches I think would

491
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 2>have been real chippy being asked about how hard is

492
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 2>it to, you know, get to a Final four again

493
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>only to lose. It was right after they lost to

494
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech when Beard was there, because they beat Duke

495
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and Zion and Cam Reddish and those guys, and it

496
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:48.279
<v Speaker 2>looked as say, if okay, if you can beat those guys,

497
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you can beat anybody. Well, then they lost to Texas tech,

498
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>and he was pretty emotional, but he wasn't like mad

499
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.400
<v Speaker 2>at the reporter for asking the question. A lot of

500
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.359
<v Speaker 2>coaches would have shown their ass I think had been

501
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 2>like you kidd me, like they would have just gone

502
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.559
<v Speaker 2>they would have gone full resume on him, like you

503
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.240
<v Speaker 2>think I'm you know, basically are you questioning how accomplished

504
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:03.519
<v Speaker 2>I am?

505
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:04.359
<v Speaker 3>He didn't do that.

506
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.119
<v Speaker 2>He was very emotional, not like crying, but like pissed

507
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>and saying, yeah, it's hard, it sucks.

508
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 3>I want to win, damn it. Like he was, you know,

509
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 3>letting you know.

510
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 2>And he still has that he because he was asked

511
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>about the joy in winning tournament games, and his quote

512
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 2>was this, once you win a national championship, winning a

513
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 2>tournament game means nothing. It doesn't turn me on. So

514
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.480
<v Speaker 2>tom Izzo not aroused by winning any tournament games unless

515
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker 2>it's the ultimate game, meaning the championship, and you're cutting

516
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 2>down nets a lot easier said than done. And again,

517
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 2>he should know how hard it is because he's been

518
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.680
<v Speaker 2>that close many times. I mean, how many final fours

519
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>does Zzo have? I'm gonna say he's got like six.

520
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm maybe I'm selling him short. Take a guess Austin.

521
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna look at it, Howny. How many final words

522
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>you think is oas.

523
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 4>He has five?

524
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Izzo has eight final fours.

525
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.839
<v Speaker 4>Wow, I meander.

526
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so he's and he hasn't been since twenty nineteen,

527
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 2>and you know obviously that that's not I mean, that's

528
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago. However, keep in mind we did

529
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>have a year with no tournament and then we had

530
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.799
<v Speaker 2>a year with uh with you know, twenty twenty one,

531
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.720
<v Speaker 2>we had a tournament, but like it was a weird

532
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:20.240
<v Speaker 2>year and I don't really think when you consider what

533
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.720
<v Speaker 2>happened that year, like it was if there were teams

534
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.599
<v Speaker 2>that were good out of nowhere, that was really an outlier. Right,

535
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 2>they haven't been like they have been great since, Like

536
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 2>McK cronin made a final four after getting the playing game. Like,

537
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think mc cronin is gonna be making any

538
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.319
<v Speaker 2>more final fours. I mean, it could happen, but anyways,

539
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the most impressive thing about Izzoh is that when.

540
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:39.599
<v Speaker 3>He was win, I mean, he went.

541
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:45.440
<v Speaker 2>He's been at Michigan State since nineteen ninety five as

542
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the head coach. He made his first final four in

543
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine. He won a championship in two thousand, So

544
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 2>in twenty five years. This is the first time in

545
00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:01.759
<v Speaker 2>his twenty five years that he is gone more than

546
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:03.680
<v Speaker 2>five years without making the final four.

547
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

548
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.480
<v Speaker 2>So if you play it again in a previous world,

549
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.720
<v Speaker 2>like Iso was built different man like because he didn't

550
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.119
<v Speaker 2>have he only had one, one and done until who's

551
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the guy, the big man who is playing what is

552
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.039
<v Speaker 2>his name, big fellow who plays for the Grizzlies, really

553
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.319
<v Speaker 2>good defensive player, can shoot it as well. It's gonna

554
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 2>drive me crazy, but he's I think he might have

555
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 2>been like defensive Player of the Year in the NBA

556
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 2>you talked goodness crazy recently the last few years or so.

557
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.279
<v Speaker 2>He plays with with Jared Jackson, Yeah, Jared Jackson. Yes,

558
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.839
<v Speaker 2>So Jared Jackson was a one and done towards kind

559
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 2>of the end where that was like a you know

560
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:41.599
<v Speaker 2>back you know those pre and ile days. And then

561
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 2>obviously Zach Randolph was a one and done many years

562
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.240
<v Speaker 2>ago in like the early two thousands. But other than that,

563
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 2>like Isoud was the guy who did build teams, and

564
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>those guys who played for him, I felt like they

565
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.559
<v Speaker 2>played there at least three or four years. Right, So

566
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.200
<v Speaker 2>if you played for Izzoh for like, you know, the

567
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 2>first twenty years of his time, twenty five years of

568
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:01.599
<v Speaker 2>his career at at Michigan State, you went to a

569
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 2>final four. Now his drought now from twenty nineteen to

570
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>now again it is a drought. But like, I think

571
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:09.359
<v Speaker 2>they got a good chance to get back, and I

572
00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>think iso A lot of people knock him because I

573
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>he's overrated, only one title, but like he's always close

574
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:20.960
<v Speaker 2>to getting right back here, and I wouldn't be shocked

575
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>if they're in the final four once again. So I

576
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of want Michigan State to get one more for

577
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Rizzo out of you know, out of my respect for him,

578
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 2>but again he should know better than anybody. Getting to

579
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.160
<v Speaker 2>the final four is really difficult, and he's done that

580
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 2>plenty of times. But winning at all, especially when you

581
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 2>get there against other really good teams, it's not easy.

582
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>There's no random national champions, folks. There are random final

583
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.240
<v Speaker 2>four teams, a lot of them, but aren't there aren't random.

584
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Even Yukon is the only random title winner that I

585
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>could think of. But they're not random because they have

586
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.400
<v Speaker 2>more than anybody in my lifetime. The year was random,

587
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 2>like their's season, but like the brand, the program. Collecting

588
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.680
<v Speaker 2>that championship in twenty fourteen, like it's still is insane

589
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:05.240
<v Speaker 2>to think about.

590
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 3>But they're Yukon.

591
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>And Baylor I think may eventually be looked at as one, right,

592
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.039
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think, I mean, is he has he

593
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:15.359
<v Speaker 2>been in.

594
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 3>A Final four other than that one. Scott Drew and Baylor.

595
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Was really good that year, Like they were loaded, but

596
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Gonzaga got all the attention and then they got smacked

597
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:25.880
<v Speaker 2>by Baylor when they got there. But again, I kind

598
00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker 2>of feel like that could be another example of like

599
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.319
<v Speaker 2>an outlier, like that twenty twenty one season where we

600
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>played but games got canceled left and right, there were

601
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.559
<v Speaker 2>no fans in attendance. It's a weird year and I'm

602
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>glad we at least had a season, but like it

603
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.839
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it wasn't normal, and that was that was the

604
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 2>only Final four that that Scott Drew's been to.

605
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:46.680
<v Speaker 4>He's kind of a weird dude too. I don't know

606
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 4>what it is about Scott drewy.

607
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.559
<v Speaker 2>He's kind I mean, look, he turned down Louisville and

608
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky last year. And again, like I'm not saying he's

609
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:58.759
<v Speaker 2>a bad coach at all, but the dude's been to

610
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:05.480
<v Speaker 2>war one second weekend since twenty sixteen, and of.

611
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 3>Course he won a title. But it was a weird year,

612
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, like this year, they should have been a

613
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:09.920
<v Speaker 3>lot better.

614
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not, I mean, long story short, both fans

615
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 2>would have been ecstatic to get Scott true, had Kentucky

616
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 2>got him or Louisville. But I think here we are

617
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.920
<v Speaker 2>a year later, and like I mean, I'm glad. I

618
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 2>think both both sides are clearly glad that it played

619
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>out the way that it did.

620
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 3>All Right, we'll say this.

621
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.640
<v Speaker 2>For I guess we can say it for tomorrow. But

622
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 2>did you hear about what Szekai Zigiler did? Actually want

623
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:35.640
<v Speaker 2>to get to it now because it's not something that's

624
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna take a lot of time. But there's a photo

625
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:40.839
<v Speaker 2>of se KaiA Ziggler from when Tennessee played at Rup

626
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 2>last week in the first weekend where he is posing

627
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.720
<v Speaker 2>for a picture holding the middle finger up in front

628
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.319
<v Speaker 2>of like the UK wall. I mean, I don't know

629
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 2>if it's I don't know if it's like the locker

630
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:52.240
<v Speaker 2>room or what it is. I'm not sure if they

631
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.000
<v Speaker 2>use Kentucky's actual locker room or not. But It wasn't

632
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>just a photo taken by a random teammate for the

633
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.000
<v Speaker 2>gram or for snapchatting he didn't know would get out.

634
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 2>It was taken by like a professional photographer that followed

635
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee to cover their tournament. And I just think, like,

636
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.880
<v Speaker 2>that's a really I don't know Zakay Ziggler at all.

637
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.519
<v Speaker 2>That probably doesn't surprise you. But like he's you know,

638
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>he's mature, he's he's he's a grown man, and I

639
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>don't really see a whole lot of like antics from

640
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 2>him on the court that would make me, you know,

641
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in a way, this is kind of harmless, kind of silly,

642
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and maybe he's thinking, you know, he's just having fun.

643
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't doing he wasn't thinking that Kentucky would see it,

644
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:32.200
<v Speaker 2>but you know they did, and I doubt that Kentucky

645
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.359
<v Speaker 2>needs and he added like motivation, but I mean, very

646
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>a very unexpected. I wouldn't even call it a storyline,

647
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:43.160
<v Speaker 2>but it's certainly been a talking point in this matchup

648
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 2>for tomorrow because I feel like Kentucky one of the

649
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>reasons why I think they've got a good chance to

650
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker 2>win this game. I mean, there's a lot of factors.

651
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.039
<v Speaker 2>One they've already beat him twice. Also there to me,

652
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it seems like they've got a pretty like there's no

653
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.160
<v Speaker 2>pressure there. In a way you would think, well, they

654
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>can't lose to if they fall short here in the

655
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 2>sweet sixteen, and it's to a team that they already

656
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 2>beat twice, Clearly there's proof they can when they should win,

657
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:12.599
<v Speaker 2>and if they don't, man, they're gonna you know, I

658
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 2>just I think in a weird way, just like Louisville

659
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 2>fans are bummed they lost last week, there's a level

660
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.079
<v Speaker 2>of being content because man, you took a big step

661
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 2>forward and the future looks bright in year one of

662
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey, I kind of feel like Kentucky would be

663
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 2>able to say the same thing, like, they'll be upset,

664
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:32.480
<v Speaker 2>they'll be emotional. You go online if they lose tomorrow,

665
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:35.160
<v Speaker 2>you'll see people acting like a lunatic, because that's just

666
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>how it works. But also I think they'll they'll have

667
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 2>a level of reflection quicker than they usually do. That

668
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:44.279
<v Speaker 2>will that will, you know, maybe surprise you because I

669
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.319
<v Speaker 2>think they realize even if they lose, it's gonna be

670
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 2>hard for them to look at that team and look

671
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:50.440
<v Speaker 2>at what they did getting to the Sweet sixteen and

672
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 2>feeling like they, you know, they should have been so

673
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:56.799
<v Speaker 2>much better. I think Pope did a lot with what

674
00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:58.799
<v Speaker 2>he had to work with. I don't want to act

675
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>as if they got a bunch of bums there and

676
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 2>he's playing with a bunch of Rudy walk Ons. But

677
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't Again, I don't think Kentucky is you know,

678
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:11.319
<v Speaker 2>superior talented compared to you know, some of the teams

679
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.920
<v Speaker 2>they beat this year. Our quick break will come back

680
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. Final segment. Wrap it up right

681
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:17.799
<v Speaker 2>here on a Sports Talk seven to ninety.

682
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

683
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

684
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>So tom Izzo, as we just discussed, he doesn't get

685
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.279
<v Speaker 2>turned on by tournament wins because he's already won a

686
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:35.400
<v Speaker 2>national championship.

687
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.559
<v Speaker 3>That could be it.

688
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe it's because he's got low T. Maybe he

689
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 2>can't get turned on because the t's low. I mean

690
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 2>low testosterone does impact your sex drive, and that's the case.

691
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 3>He needs to go see the.

692
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.519
<v Speaker 2>One and only Doctor Wood at the Louisville Men's Clinic

693
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.000
<v Speaker 2>because he can help you with low testosterone get your

694
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>levels where they need to be, gets you back to

695
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.200
<v Speaker 2>feeling you know your age, well.

696
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Can you imagine Izzo with Wood?

697
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't even want to imagine it would scary,

698
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of course, doctor Wood. Yes, yeah, I mean that's a

699
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:06.400
<v Speaker 2>that's a duo that you know, could do a lot

700
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of damage.

701
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:07.799
<v Speaker 3>My championships.

702
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.319
<v Speaker 2>You they came, I mean, they're nothing. They're hanging banners,

703
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what they're doing. So Louisllman's clinic, they can help

704
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 2>you with the rectile dispunction, low testosterone, Peroni's disease, weight

705
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 2>loss therapy, hair restoration. When it comes to just being

706
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>a healthier man, they can do it and you may

707
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>not even realize that you could be happier and healthier.

708
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:28.119
<v Speaker 2>That was me, Like, I didn't really feel like I

709
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.359
<v Speaker 2>had anything like wrong with me, and I guess technically,

710
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wasn't in danger. But there was a

711
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 2>reason why thirties hit me harder than I was anticipating.

712
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:39.400
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure some of it was in fact, because

713
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, there is a difference in your life when

714
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:45.839
<v Speaker 2>you're thirty three and when you're twenty three. But now

715
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.400
<v Speaker 2>that my levels are where they need to be for

716
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:51.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody my age, I mean, I mean I feel younger

717
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:53.680
<v Speaker 2>now than I did for a good stretch of my

718
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 2>early thirties. And I think, more than anything, it's because

719
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.559
<v Speaker 2>of me learning what low TI was and realizing that

720
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I can treat it and be better for it. And

721
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:05.559
<v Speaker 2>it's all thanks to the friends that I have over

722
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>at the Little men Clinic. Check them out online Little

726
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 2>And We've talked, of course, a lot about the matchups tonight,

727
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 2>and I'll just tell you what I'm going to roll

728
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.000
<v Speaker 2>with you guys, can you know, fade, you can tail

729
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.239
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want to do, do you? But I'm going

730
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas plus five and a half. I'm going Alabama minus

731
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:34.119
<v Speaker 2>four and a half, Florida minus six and a half.

732
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 2>And I am going to take the under one fifty

733
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 2>four and a half in the Duke game.

734
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:41.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing the same thing.

735
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:43.960
<v Speaker 4>We got the exact same thing, do we?

736
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how about it? We've kind of been brewing this up,

737
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 3>how about it?

738
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

739
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Now about I've been through throughout the whole breaks of

740
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 4>inside baseball, but I like it the under completely tailing

741
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:53.559
<v Speaker 4>the under.

742
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Is uh is is really from a competitives from an

743
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 2>entertainment standpoint, it's it's it's no way to live, as

744
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:03.639
<v Speaker 2>they say, right like, but if you think that's like

745
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's a point, this will probably be, you know,

746
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:11.559
<v Speaker 2>considered a jinx by some. But when I bet unders,

747
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I know, going in like, I'm only doing it because

748
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 2>I just think that's the best move here, because you

749
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:17.719
<v Speaker 2>don't want to bet the under unless you just and

750
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I've I've had success in betting the unders. And it's

751
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:22.760
<v Speaker 2>a weird feeling to like, yeah, give me, give me

752
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>a segment where combined they score, you know, in between

753
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:29.679
<v Speaker 2>TV timeouts, the teams combined for six points, like, and

754
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:33.039
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy how it just passed in just in just

755
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 2>stretches of play. You know. Okay, that's really good for

756
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.119
<v Speaker 2>the over or really bad for the over vice versa.

757
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.800
<v Speaker 3>That was really good for the under or really bad.

758
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:43.800
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, hell, we were riding on Sunday and

759
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 2>that meaningless buzzer beater from Baylor gave us the over.

760
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't that the Baylor do game?

761
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:48.760
<v Speaker 1>No?

762
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:51.400
<v Speaker 3>It was Yukon Yukon Florida.

763
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you know, and that's one that, let's be honest,

764
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:56.679
<v Speaker 2>like that's luck. I mean, that's what it was. But

765
00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that's that's what it takes to beat the book.

766
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, looking forward to tonight's games and tomorrow we

767
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:05.920
<v Speaker 2>got another round of them. We'll be back tomorrow to

768
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 2>of course react to what happened last night and get

769
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you set for tomorrow evenings matchups. And I know I've

770
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.079
<v Speaker 2>said it many times this week, and I guess we'll

771
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.119
<v Speaker 2>see when we get to next week what the numbers

772
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:19.639
<v Speaker 2>look like as far as viewership. But as I look

773
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.239
<v Speaker 2>at these matchups here on the uh on the sports book,

774
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 2>on drafting sports book, and it's showing, you know, all

775
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.880
<v Speaker 2>eight matchups tonight and tomorrow, I know there's no Cinderella,

776
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and I know that you know, there's really not even

777
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a I mean, I think when it comes to storylines

778
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.599
<v Speaker 2>coming from the first weekend, it was the fact that

779
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.360
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't a Cinderella and the Kevin Willard stuff that's

780
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.679
<v Speaker 2>certainly one of them. So therefore, like without there being

781
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of other outside, you know, off the court

782
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 2>entertaining storylines, it's kind of boring. But man, we should

783
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.039
<v Speaker 2>have some really good games, and I'm someone that still

784
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:52.519
<v Speaker 2>chooses to believe that that's important.

785
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:53.519
<v Speaker 3>And again that's what we.

786
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Have here, and hopefully it plays out that way, and

787
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of course hopefully you know, the parlay hits all right.

788
00:36:58.559 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 3>Quick break.

789
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 2>In fact, again I lie, not a quick break. I'm

790
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:02.639
<v Speaker 2>just so used to saying that. It's a long break,

791
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:04.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty one hour break. We're back at it tomorrow right

792
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety
