Speaker 4: So big news over the weekend in the NBA. Uh,
Speaker 4: late Saturday night when everyone was getting fastened in sleep
Speaker 4: and they were tucked in, Luca Doncs was traded to
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Lakers. As they walked him with Anthony Davis.
Speaker 4: In a couple other situations.
Speaker 3: I registered a one in my life, but it's a
Speaker 3: you know, earthquake in the NBA life. Uh, And I
Speaker 3: was thinking, okay, whatever, And I guess the Dallas people
Speaker 3: are thinking we got screwed. Yeah, I think they did.
Speaker 3: Dallas is really upset. Yeah, yeah, but you.
Speaker 5: Know the guy.
Speaker 3: But I wonder what's gonna have a LEBRONI yeah, it
Speaker 3: would be interesting overall, it'll be interesting. I don't know how.
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see how they play together. Luca
Speaker 3: and Lebron play together.
Speaker 4: And they're still missing a center and haven't had a
Speaker 4: center since Lebron came.
Speaker 2: Uh, so we'll see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said he has His intention is to stay
Speaker 4: with the Lakers beyond the deadline and even defense the Lebron.
Speaker 4: It's intense to stay with the Lakers past the NBA
Speaker 4: trade deadline and finishing the season with them.
Speaker 2: But we'll see where he goes. They have a chance
Speaker 2: to win it now, don't you think? No?
Speaker 3: With with Dungeons this season because they don't find the center,
Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna have to well, they'll have to
Speaker 3: get better done. They're better with him on the team
Speaker 3: than not. Then they can score more A d was
Speaker 3: you know he was hell the defensive player, sure, sure,
Speaker 3: but when he played.
Speaker 2: When he played was great, That's thing about it.
Speaker 3: He just never played and you're getting something similar with
Speaker 3: d You know, how healthy can he stay?
Speaker 2: Who would you rather have Anthony Davis?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: I would know. To me, what do you think now?
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be another situation of there's there's
Speaker 4: two guys in one ball and they both need the ball.
Speaker 3: And Luca there's plenty of plenty of plenty of ball
Speaker 3: to play with over there.
Speaker 2: I think they'll be better. I think they'll be better.
Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
Speaker 3: We'll monitor this discussion.
Speaker 4: Another big not big, not as big of course as
Speaker 4: the Luca trade, but Darren Fox is going to be
Speaker 4: headed to the Spurs and Zach Lvie will be headed
Speaker 4: to the Kings in a three team trade.
Speaker 2: That news, it's like I've told this story on the
Speaker 2: show before.
Speaker 3: At the Foe where of the final four, Indianapolis somewhere,
Speaker 3: there's a huge storm and Ray Rotto, who's a famous
Speaker 3: San Francisco columnist, Uh, and we all hunker down in
Speaker 3: the in the in the big ballroom, and man, he says,
Speaker 3: I I hate it. This is the night we're all
Speaker 3: gonna die. And it says jim Nance and a bunch
Speaker 3: of sports writers.
Speaker 2: Died under it.
Speaker 3: Was like the secondary news, like and a bunch of
Speaker 3: sports writers died in that accident exactly.
Speaker 2: It's it same thing. It's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And there was another trade, but there there were
Speaker 3: other trades. Yeah, other things happened, So.
Speaker 4: There was there was still fluid talks between Jimmy Butler
Speaker 4: and the Warriors, but he did say he will not
Speaker 4: be sending a contract extension there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that, So we'll see what happens. We're
Speaker 2: still gonna wear my Golden State Warriors. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just don't understand why you would want that guy
Speaker 3: on your team, right, I mean, look, he's he's a
Speaker 3: hell of a ball player. The dude can the dude
Speaker 3: can really score. You can light him up.
Speaker 2: But why would you want that guy in their team.
Speaker 3: Well, I think would He is a perfect example of
Speaker 3: people not watching the NBA or not caring about the
Speaker 3: NBA because you guys, you're making fifty You guys making
Speaker 3: fifty million or more or maybe just a little less,
Speaker 3: and they are a bunch of petulant children. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean absolutely. I mean would you pay? Why would you
Speaker 3: pay this? And why would you go? Why would you
Speaker 3: pay to go see this when it's good money? I
Speaker 3: mean you're spending. I have not watched more than a
Speaker 3: click through in an NBA year. You and me both,
Speaker 3: I don't know you're you go follow? Well, so you
Speaker 3: tell me. Because you're a Spur guy, what does this
Speaker 3: trade mean to you?
Speaker 4: I think it's great, especially because we're I can say
Speaker 4: we with this because I am a Spurs fan.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: We're a building around the youth. Even though we have
Speaker 4: Chris Paul at the point he's kind of teaching the
Speaker 4: guy we drafted this year. We didn't give up a lot.
Speaker 4: We basically gave him nothing to go get a premier
Speaker 4: star in the NBA.
Speaker 2: And he's kind of a pain too. Fox is a
Speaker 2: little temperamental. Yeah, but you put him in an organization
Speaker 2: like the Spurs when papavisition and not yet.
Speaker 4: But the guys that Papavich surrounds himself with, they're the
Speaker 4: same guy, same mentality, and it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he'll make the play in or
Speaker 4: even the playoffs, but it's a building step for the
Speaker 4: future for them.
Speaker 2: For us, they're building slowly, but they're building well.
Speaker 4: And they're building around when Binyama, which is something This
Speaker 4: is something the Sun should have done with a and
Speaker 4: they should have built around him and Booker. But that's
Speaker 4: a different story to some college basketball. Of course, Arizona
Speaker 4: got that win this weekend, which earned them another spot
Speaker 4: in the AP Top twenty five and number twenty all.
Speaker 4: Brianche stays in theber one, followed by Duke Alabama, Tennessee
Speaker 4: and Houston running out the top five. And then you
Speaker 4: got Texas Tech, who is at number thirteen coming to
Speaker 4: TuS on this Saturday.
Speaker 2: That should be a good test. Yeah, every every game.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow should be a good test at Baby us No,
Speaker 3: which is fantastic. Rough tumble Texas. Texas beat the Houston
Speaker 3: at Houston without their best player, without their coach. I
Speaker 3: can't wait to see Kelvin here in in less than.
Speaker 2: Two weeks, walk over. No, No, here's the polemic.
Speaker 3: You're such on a roll nine to one, and then
Speaker 3: it seems like if you lose to a team like
Speaker 3: Baylor or whoever, it's not kind of like a step back.
Speaker 3: It just feels like it's steps back. Does because I
Speaker 3: don't want to say momentum, but you're on this night
Speaker 3: run where you don't want it to stop because every
Speaker 3: game is important. Well, well the other thing is that,
Speaker 3: like you don't want to be found out, So I
Speaker 3: think that everybody's waiting for the shoot of fall on this,
Speaker 3: on this it's been a hell of a run this,
Speaker 3: you know, nine to one. But uh, well yeah, are
Speaker 3: you kind of still going yeah, I'm just well real
Speaker 3: quick because you started the show, we were not on
Speaker 3: the areat Yeah, and what you talk about Kayla, yeah,
Speaker 3: cub you.
Speaker 2: Want to throw that in now?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the thing that my fact and I sent you
Speaker 3: a note on this is it, like you know, certainly
Speaker 3: as as he goes, so goes the team, because when
Speaker 3: he is into it, when he's fired up, when he
Speaker 3: is engaged, they all are Okay, you could see it.
Speaker 3: He was playing defense against Iowa State he was playing
Speaker 3: the best defense i'd seen. He was playing great against
Speaker 3: s U But you see that playing that playing at
Speaker 3: Iowa State, he's one one for ten shooting and he's
Speaker 3: lollygagging around the court.
Speaker 2: On offense. It's kind of potting with.
Speaker 3: His said done. He shoots, he misses, and he just
Speaker 3: kind of goes oh, you know, it's like oh me,
Speaker 3: oh me, you know, and it's like you sit there
Speaker 3: and you're like, okay, the whole team goes down when
Speaker 3: when that happens, because he is he is the spark
Speaker 3: clog on the team. He hits the fifty five foot
Speaker 3: dream shot and all of a sudden, it's like boom, energy, energy, energy,
Speaker 3: Here we go, here we go. So can he carry
Speaker 3: them through the big twelve? Can he carry them into
Speaker 3: the tournament a long way?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think he can do. I think he will know.
Speaker 3: I think that he'll miss a couple of shots and
Speaker 3: he'll hang his head and well, he's been that way
Speaker 3: all year, so why would you think that change exactly?
Speaker 2: So hopefully you will continuing gonna kind of speed run this.
Speaker 3: Florida State's Leonard Hamilton will be stepping down at the
Speaker 3: end of the season and he had twenty three year
Speaker 3: career in Tallahassee. Yeah, another older guy said enough already
Speaker 3: he's being sued by a people for not being paid.
Speaker 4: Star defensive Van Miles Garrett has requested a trade from
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns uh and hopefully intends to sign or
Speaker 4: be traded to a contender.
Speaker 3: David Kelly's doing a show right now, so you won't
Speaker 3: hear this. Cleveland has a football team.
Speaker 2: Biles Garrett doesn't think. So that's a basketball Now I'm
Speaker 2: I'm a celebrity. Give me off this island.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it's like what I'm gonna He says he
Speaker 3: wants to play in a Super Bowl or play for
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: So he's not going to Dallas, believe I believe it.
Speaker 2: What he wants to do. He wants to be in
Speaker 2: a winner.
Speaker 3: So former Arizona offensive coordinator did follow Fish to Washington. Uh,
Speaker 3: Brendan Carroll will be join his dad as the offensive
Speaker 3: line coach. Yeah that was only amount of time, right,
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. Kelly who dress Oakland? Yes, Oakland,
Speaker 3: Brandon will be Brendan Carro will.
Speaker 2: Be Uh what about Oakland?

Speaker 4: and the NFL has vowed that it is a safe
Speaker 4: place to be this weekends. Given what has transparent first
Speaker 4: day of the year in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: They certainly are vigilant, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: Uh So, the MLB has fired their umpire Pat Hoberg
Speaker 3: for shared betty accounts with professional poker players, and he
Speaker 3: won't be working for the MLB anymore. Last thing I got,

Speaker 2: I saw that too. Hid the players, so nobody will
Speaker 2: find here we go, Here we go more stuff. You
Speaker 2: think that that's going to prevent it. Oh, he is

Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: While just search I on the Ball.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back to Wind the Ball Hero on Fox
Speaker 3: Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve rivera pees wait Quinn, and
Speaker 3: we got one of the shoals. No, we have Brian
Speaker 3: Peterson of Ezy Desert Swarm.
Speaker 5: Brian, How you doing, I'm good, Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Hey.
Speaker 3: I would assume that you've been to about less than
Speaker 3: ten more than a handful of ASU games up there.
Speaker 13: Uh, I've been maybe about so closer to it doesn't
Speaker 13: I'd say.
Speaker 3: Okay, this one more bizarre than most, or because there
Speaker 3: have been games like this before.
Speaker 13: I mean, come on, yeah, it's I mean it's been
Speaker 13: weird that the games up there are always weird. First,
Speaker 13: because you have such a large amount of Arizona fans
Speaker 13: and the ASU contingent is a mix of people who
Speaker 13: really care about as U or just hate Arizona, and
Speaker 13: it makes for a fun atmosphere. But I haven't seen
Speaker 13: a game like this that that involved like a near
Speaker 13: fight or anything like that. I've seen ones with guys
Speaker 13: hanging on the rim and people running out on the
Speaker 13: court before the game was over, or a big blown lead,
Speaker 13: things like that, but nothing to this level. And but
Speaker 13: what's funny is it just it kind of happened and
Speaker 13: then it was over and people are like, wait, what happened?
Speaker 13: And then we're still learning about it after the fact.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no question. Where do you stand on what
Speaker 3: what Bobby did with you know, not having a handshake,
Speaker 3: him blowing everything off? Where do you stand? Are you
Speaker 3: okay with certain things and not okay with certain things?
Speaker 5: I think then no handshake thing is.
Speaker 13: Probably fine and frankly a good idea. I mean, the
Speaker 13: coaches probably should have shook But keeping the players away
Speaker 13: from each other if you really are worried that the
Speaker 13: chatter is that bad and you just had an altercation
Speaker 13: on the court, the.
Speaker 5: Last thing you want to do is force.
Speaker 13: Them to be close to each other and pretend to
Speaker 13: be nice. The getting mad about trash talk and all
Speaker 13: that on the court is it feels weak to me
Speaker 13: because I thought that.
Speaker 2: That is part of the game.
Speaker 13: And I said, and I got the impression that that
Speaker 13: was something that Bobby Hurley did when he was at
Speaker 13: Duke and he played in the NBA, and trash talk
Speaker 13: such a big part of that. It felt a little
Speaker 13: bit like an excuse. The saying he wasn't going to
Speaker 13: vote for Caleb Love for PAC twelve All Conference or
Speaker 13: excuse me, Big twelve conference without actually saying his name.
Speaker 13: That was completely unnecessary, and I wonder if he got
Speaker 13: any sort of internal what are you doing kind of
Speaker 13: reaction from administration there. But he's also a coach, that is,
Speaker 13: he's he's up against it right now, and he hasn't
Speaker 13: been able to have the success that they were hoping for,
Speaker 13: especially with a team like this that was supposed to
Speaker 13: be very talented.
Speaker 5: Injuries have played a big part.
Speaker 13: Of it, because they were nine and two in the
Speaker 13: non conference when everyone was healthy, but even still, it's
Speaker 13: frustration leads to certain reactions, and I think that that
Speaker 13: contributed there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got to act like the adult.
Speaker 3: You can't expect your kids to act like adults and
Speaker 3: then you not act like an adult. And that's what
Speaker 3: I think is going on here. I mean, he's he
Speaker 3: sits here and he acts like the pendulant child on
Speaker 3: the sideline, rips his tie off dramatically, okay, and then
Speaker 3: expects his players to have poise.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, I think the players are fine with that.
Speaker 13: Like they know what they're getting into with Bobby and
Speaker 13: they like that passion and all that means it maybe
Speaker 13: doesn't manifest the same way for those on the the
Speaker 13: other side seeing that, and it can be for Arizona
Speaker 13: fans can be used as a source of having fun
Speaker 13: to point and laugh.
Speaker 2: Kind of thing.
Speaker 13: But I mean, Sean Miller wasn't like that. But Sean
Speaker 13: Miller had a lot of animation to him, And you know,
Speaker 13: compared to Tommy Lloyd, who is not like that, he
Speaker 13: does a little bit of it that he doesn't kind
Speaker 13: of go all over the place.
Speaker 5: So maybe it's because it.
Speaker 13: Stands out so much more now compared to Tommy. But
Speaker 13: I mean, I think that that's never going to go
Speaker 13: away with Early and as long as the players accept
Speaker 13: that that's the kind of coach that he is, then
Speaker 13: so be it a couple of quick things.
Speaker 3: So I tend to agree with you that I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be surprised if a issu higher ups got with him
Speaker 3: and said, you know, enough enough of this, because I
Speaker 3: know you guys wrote somewhere else not where I was
Speaker 3: writing in the press room, and I heard a lot
Speaker 3: of chatter from the people who cover him. He says,
Speaker 3: they're kind of tired of the end takes from him.
Speaker 3: And he's been there for ten years now and it's
Speaker 3: just it's getting old. They said, I couldn't tell you
Speaker 3: who they were because I don't know any of those guys,
Speaker 3: but you know they're getting tired of his antics one
Speaker 3: and two. I wonder if Bobby and Tommy have already talked.
Speaker 3: You know, this says, you know, it's unfortunately a situation.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, YadA YadA from either side, you know, from
Speaker 3: Bobby's side mostly, but Tommy just kind of listening to
Speaker 3: I understand YadA yeadha.
Speaker 2: Would you agree with that?
Speaker 13: I mean, Tommy always takes the hygrod publicly and to
Speaker 13: a point to where sometimes we wish that he would
Speaker 13: be a little bit more outward with.
Speaker 5: This kind of stuff.
Speaker 13: I don't know if there's been any sort of conversation
Speaker 13: between the sides, maybe closer to when they play in March,
Speaker 13: because that Senior night at Arizona, that there may be
Speaker 13: someone reaching out of the other. But from the administration side,
Speaker 13: I've heard a couple people kind of refer to this
Speaker 13: as a potential like rich Rod slamming the bottle and
Speaker 13: knocking it over moment at ASU in twenty seventeen, that
Speaker 13: seeing the management or the administration seeing something that can
Speaker 13: go you know, maybe this is the end and we
Speaker 13: need to start looking elsewhere. It's a new athletic director
Speaker 13: in gramm Arcini, albeit one that has been within the
Speaker 13: athletic department.
Speaker 2: For a long time, and Michael Crowe.
Speaker 13: The school president, really doesn't care as much about athletics
Speaker 13: as some other school presidents like doctor Robbins the former
Speaker 13: president Arizona did. And maybe looking at it more from
Speaker 13: an optic standpoint that hey, we've.
Speaker 5: Got this high profile football.
Speaker 13: Team now, but if people notice that the basketball coach
Speaker 13: is getting attention for the wrong reasons, maybe we don't
Speaker 13: want to deal with that. So it wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 13: if they move on from him. That just the question
Speaker 13: is is that who are you going to get?
Speaker 2: Who is better?
Speaker 13: I mean, ASU has never really been able to sustain
Speaker 13: any sort of success. You're the second place team in
Speaker 13: the state on an annual basis, and that's a hard
Speaker 13: sell for coaches unless they really feel like they can
Speaker 13: do something to overtake the power. It would be like
Speaker 13: Kansas State has never really been able to consistently have
Speaker 13: success when they're going up against Kansas overall because Kansas
Speaker 13: is always going to be number one.
Speaker 2: There was. I was going to ask you if you
Speaker 2: want to speculate on his future, but you just did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, you know, I completely agree
Speaker 3: with it feels like he's going to score shirts. Hey,
Speaker 3: I don't give a crape. Yeah, I'm gonna be done
Speaker 3: in anyway.
Speaker 2: The uh uh.
Speaker 3: I just you know, Arizona State's got some players. I
Speaker 3: mean they've gotten they've had players in the past, they
Speaker 3: just don't seem to put it together.
Speaker 13: Well, what Bobby has done in terms of record and
Speaker 13: NCAA tournament and all that is very similar to what
Speaker 13: Herb Sendeck did before him.
Speaker 2: Maybe the major.
Speaker 13: Differences that Herb Sendeck had James Harden come here, and
Speaker 13: you can't really name like a big time player that
Speaker 13: Bobby has had. He's had a lot of good players,
Speaker 13: and he's had he sent guys to the NBA. But
Speaker 13: it's it's the same kind of thing like that. Even
Speaker 13: even under Bill Frieder and Rob Evans do they have
Speaker 13: a year every now and then, it's just a program
Speaker 13: that has never been able to do that. If they
Speaker 13: think they can find a coach who can.
Speaker 5: Lift to the next level, then then you you make
Speaker 5: that decision.
Speaker 13: But I don't think that Asus has been a bad program.
Speaker 13: They just haven't been able to be better than like
Speaker 13: they've hit their ceiling and they can't really go past.
Speaker 3: So here's a text I got on Twitter from one
Speaker 3: of the guys who listen to on the show and
Speaker 3: kind of reads me, and I'm sure he reads you too,
Speaker 3: Tommy Lloyd in my opinion. He says Tommy Lloyd should
Speaker 3: feel obligated to address the Hurley what Harley said about Love,
Speaker 3: especially the last part where he said you won't vote
Speaker 3: for Caleb halfway through the season. It was a class
Speaker 3: list and someone says should uh, albeit trying to address
Speaker 3: in the media, and I'm thinking, okay, maybe maybe not.
Speaker 13: Well, I do think it's something that will probably get
Speaker 13: asked of Tommy at his next weekly presser, which would
Speaker 13: be most likely Friday, after they've come back from BYU
Speaker 13: ahead of Texas Tech. It's something because it was a
Speaker 13: personal attack, even if it didn't identify specifically Love, you
Speaker 13: know who he is talking about, but a personal attack
Speaker 13: of one of his players by another coach. What he
Speaker 13: would have to say about that, and Tommy will probably
Speaker 13: take some form of the high road. He always has.
Speaker 13: He's just never been one to kind of get into
Speaker 13: any sort of public fights, especially through quotes and through
Speaker 13: sound bites or anything to that effect. But I think
Speaker 13: really the best way that they can address it is
Speaker 13: just on the court. March second, no excuse me, March
Speaker 13: fourth is Senior Night, a Tuesday night in Tucson, ASU,
Speaker 13: coming to town. That's going to be Caleb Love's final
Speaker 13: game at McHale Center. That's going to be Arizon, this
Speaker 13: final home game of the season. That's really the way
Speaker 13: you prove it is just, you know, blow the doors
Speaker 13: off your opponent and go with that. But in the meantime,
Speaker 13: you can there's little fun ways that you can just
Speaker 13: kind of poke fun. I mean, most people probably didn't
Speaker 13: notice it, but the the Arizona Athletics Twitter account after
Speaker 13: the game used a handshake emoji with the final score.
Speaker 13: That's the fun way to kind of to point out, hey,
Speaker 13: there was no handshake without actually calling anybody out that.
Speaker 2: I love that kind of stuff. I can. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So now they're out with one Hurley and now they're
Speaker 3: going to bring in another Hurly next year, which should be.
Speaker 2: A lot of fun.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah, this the talk of having a home
Speaker 13: and home starting at Yukon next year with Dan Hurley,
Speaker 13: Bobby's older brother, playing out there next season, and then
Speaker 13: come into Tucson on the following year. It's a great matchup,
Speaker 13: is that if this ends up happening, and it shows
Speaker 13: that that Tommy is gonna want to keep having these
Speaker 13: big games out of conference, even with all the quality
Speaker 13: teams you play in it. It's got kind of like
Speaker 13: that Loot feel when the Pac twelve, excuse me, Pac
Speaker 13: ten was at its best and Loot didn't care. He
Speaker 13: still wanted to play five to six of these really
Speaker 13: good teams in the non conference. There's a there's a
Speaker 13: pretty good chance the Big twelve may only have eighteen
Speaker 13: conference games next year the way the calendar works, so
Speaker 13: there's room for more of these high profile games the
Speaker 13: next two years. They're going to play Alabama in Birmingham
Speaker 13: next year, so it's looking already like it's going to
Speaker 13: be a pretty solid schedule.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no question, should be a lot of fun
Speaker 3: and anything else. Do you like what you're seeing from
Speaker 3: Caleb now, because you know he's still running hot and cold,
Speaker 3: but yes, a pretty good game.
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's running hot and cold even and right now
Speaker 13: he's on a hot streak. He was started one for
Speaker 13: tending in Siwa Stayton. He's now made eight of his
Speaker 13: last twelve three pointers. So you know, you ride that
Speaker 13: wave and you need to keep letting him take the shots.
Speaker 13: But I think what is most notable for me is
Speaker 13: even when he's struggling like he was for most of
Speaker 13: BIA's State, he's not letting it affect his defense. He
Speaker 13: shut down Curtis Jones, who had scored thirty three against
Speaker 13: ASU two days before, and.
Speaker 2: Held him to want a one of eleven.
Speaker 13: And he's probably going to be guarding BYU's point guard
Speaker 13: who's six foot nine tomorrow night and who is the
Speaker 13: catalyst who drives the entire offense. And if he can
Speaker 13: continue to play like that on the defensive end, which
Speaker 13: is something he needs to show he can do to
Speaker 13: be able to have a shot at a pro career
Speaker 13: beyond just being a shooter, that that boat's really well
Speaker 13: for the team. And if he has these moments of
Speaker 13: hot and cold and he's still playing the defensive side,
Speaker 13: you can ride with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, thank you, Brian. We can read you at
Speaker 3: Asy Desert Swarm thanks, I appreciate it. Uh wait, wait,
Speaker 3: give me a prediction for tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I actually I think Arizona.
Speaker 13: Will lose this game. It's it's a really really tough
Speaker 13: matchup when you're playing a team that shoots as many
Speaker 13: threes as BYU does.
Speaker 5: I mean, it wouldn't surprise.
Speaker 2: Me either way.
Speaker 13: But BYU is consider ASU, but they're actually finding the
Speaker 13: open end, not just throwing the ball up from the perimeter.
Speaker 13: They shoot like thirty eight percent from three and they
Speaker 13: take like thirty a game. So if Arizona rotates poorly,
Speaker 13: which can sometimes happen, there's going to be open guys,
Speaker 13: and that could be very deadly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't disagree with you.
Speaker 3: I think at some point, not that Arizona's a stumble
Speaker 3: that they're gonna you know, they're doing really well, so
Speaker 3: they're gonna run up again.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and this wouldn't be This wouldn't be.
Speaker 2: A bad loss.
Speaker 13: I mean, this is this is a team that is
Speaker 13: their only home loss is to Texas Tech, which has
Speaker 13: beaten Arizona, and they've they've with the exception of their
Speaker 13: game at Houston, they've been competitive in all their road games.
Speaker 13: It's a tough place to play. They're playing at nine
Speaker 13: o'clock on a Tuesday on the road, and Arizona's been
Speaker 13: on the other end of stuff getting those at home,
Speaker 13: and how difficult that is.
Speaker 5: So with Texas Tech.
Speaker 13: Coming on Saturday, and there's there's so many tough games,
Speaker 13: they're going to lose a couple and they could lose
Speaker 13: four or five in the second half and still have
Speaker 13: a very good conference.
Speaker 3: Before you stay, Mike and by us, I think at
Speaker 3: one and that point one point, yeah, my favorite by
Speaker 3: you not surprised at all. Yeah, So okay, so they've
Speaker 3: even nine and one. We're playing with a lot of confidence.
Speaker 3: When if we get a couple of losses, do we
Speaker 3: lose that confidence and it all goes to hell? Or
Speaker 3: do you think that we've got enough well leadership to
Speaker 3: carry us to get the confidence again? To your to
Speaker 3: your point, Mike and Brian, your question two, I think
Speaker 3: it was Caleb uh. Arizona has had it easy to
Speaker 3: this point. You you talked about them the second half
Speaker 3: of the schedule. It is very tough.
Speaker 13: Yes, Arizona's ten opponents combined had a losing conference record,
Speaker 13: and they have the toughest remaining schedule in terms of
Speaker 13: conference win loss record. Seven of their remaining ten games
Speaker 13: are against the other six teams that are competing for the.
Speaker 2: The Big Twelve title.
Speaker 13: That the first half ended up being easier than hoped,
Speaker 13: than originally thought because West Virginia has tailed off, Cincinnati
Speaker 13: has been terrible. They definitely had a backloaded schedule to
Speaker 13: begin with. But they still haven't gone to Baylor, they
Speaker 13: haven't gone to Iowa State, they haven't gone to Kansas
Speaker 13: They have Houston at home. They've got so many tough games.
Speaker 13: As far as the confidence thing, I mean, it's a
Speaker 13: matter of are they losing these games because it was
Speaker 13: a good game and they just came a little bit short,
Speaker 13: or a game where they were completely outmatched. Even the
Speaker 13: Texas Tech game, they struggled, but they were right into
Speaker 13: it and then it just fell apart at the end.
Speaker 13: That was not a sixteen point loss. That was a
Speaker 13: couple possession that just got out of hand at the end.
Speaker 13: If they were to lose one of the games that
Speaker 13: they shouldn't lose, like at Kansas State or at home
Speaker 13: to Utah something like that, there aren't very many of those.
Speaker 13: They have a lot of these games that are going
Speaker 13: to be very, very tough. They're projected to lose five
Speaker 13: of the last ten based on analytics and all that,
Speaker 13: and that just shows you out top. I don't think
Speaker 13: they're going to lose go five and five. I think
Speaker 13: they probably more like O six and four and finish
Speaker 13: fifteen and five. If anyone is upset about Arizona being
Speaker 13: fifteen and five in the Big twelve, then they have
Speaker 13: unrealistic expectations.
Speaker 3: Oh you know where you want TV you cover, let's.
Speaker 2: Say, on Arizona. Evidence don't know a lot about the
Speaker 2: data the fan base.
Speaker 6: Do you.
Speaker 13: I mean, there's people that want Tommy fired because Gilbert
Speaker 13: Arenas's son took a giant check to go to USC
Speaker 13: Come on, people, just enjoy the ride instead of looking
Speaker 13: for reasons why it's going to crack.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, Brian, appreciate it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, thanks guys.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break. I think we're going over so
Speaker 3: we'll have a little time to take some more calls.

Speaker 7: Nick?
Speaker 15: Vic?
Speaker 2: What's the word?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 3: We got crazy? Mike already called in, so Vic you're
Speaker 3: number ten.
Speaker 15: Wow. The one thing I wanted to ask you, guys,
Speaker 15: and I've read everything and listened to every dang podcast,
Speaker 15: not enough it's being said about Freeman. I mean this
Speaker 15: dude basically that.
Speaker 2: Was a soul, right Yeah I guess, so, I guess.
Speaker 15: I mean, and nothing's me. Everybody's talking about Bobby Hurley
Speaker 15: and not shaking hands when this cat was the one
Speaker 15: that caused it all and that was like big time.
Speaker 2: How do you?
Speaker 15: I don't even intentional or whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 15: But not not enough been said about him?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, Ben did?
Speaker 15: Is he mean?
Speaker 3: What yeah, No, that's a good point. I never even
Speaker 3: thought about that, probably not suspended, just you know, you
Speaker 3: got what he got fragrant too, I mean the big talk.
Speaker 3: So today and yesterday and Saturday, is Caleb going to
Speaker 3: be able to play tomorrow? And by all indications we said,
Speaker 3: they said yes, so, but you're right, nothing's been said.
Speaker 3: You know what else is to be said?
Speaker 15: I guess And then yeah, and then I my last
Speaker 15: little thing. I'll let you go. But Bobby needs to
Speaker 15: take a page out of Jake Lamata's book, Steve. I'm
Speaker 15: sure you read it. When they asked Jaclamata, why are
Speaker 15: you so fierce when you're in there fighting? And he says, well,
Speaker 15: the guy's hitting me, isn't he? And then they said,
Speaker 15: well why do you hug him? After he said, well,
Speaker 15: he stopped hitting me, didn't he. That's I just don't
Speaker 15: know how to understand that deal right there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but well I don't know.
Speaker 5: You know, it was a great game, man, you you you.
Speaker 3: Know a lot of coaches at different levels, you know,
Speaker 3: the good guns and the bad ones, and you know
Speaker 3: the ones that get really pissed when they lose. And
Speaker 3: obviously he didn't lose a whole lot when he was
Speaker 3: a player and now he's losing a lot and I
Speaker 3: as a coach, and I'm sure there's frustration in there
Speaker 3: and he doesn't want to be part of that. But
Speaker 3: guess what, you got to take the good with the bad.
Speaker 3: It's just how life is.
Speaker 15: Yeah, you sure do. I I I remember. I'll tell
Speaker 15: you real quick, those Domingas Lin with basketball rivalries and
Speaker 15: we have have uh police had sports to get out
Speaker 15: of there. That was no lie. That was no lie.
Speaker 15: It was it was something fierce.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: I bet I was gonna I was gonna talk about
Speaker 3: that with that serious stuff.
Speaker 15: Yes it is, but it was a good game up
Speaker 15: until the stupid hit. But I I can't figure that
Speaker 15: part out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's because we don't know the host. Sorry, right,
Speaker 3: Caleb may have said something and said something that really
Speaker 3: is He certainly said something, there's no doubt about it
Speaker 3: that take them off, but enough to get a head butt.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what you would say that
Speaker 3: you'd get a head.
Speaker 15: Butt and and what you guys have covered it already.
Speaker 15: But the chirping comments cracked me up, because yeah, everybody
Speaker 15: does that. I mean, if we're playing, if we're playing
Speaker 15: flipping pennies. We're chirping at each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, yeah, because that's what competitors do. I mean,
Speaker 3: come on, you play because you want to be good
Speaker 3: at what you do, and you're gonna hear it if
Speaker 3: you did.
Speaker 2: It for not any good.
Speaker 15: Exactly exactly, so I still find about literally games from
Speaker 15: nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Okay, good to know that, so I
Speaker 2: won't argue with you.
Speaker 15: Okay, you guys, great short today, Take.
Speaker 2: Care, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3: about five minutes, all right, So tell me who you
Speaker 3: got in the super Bowl. We haven't even talked super Bowl.
Speaker 3: We know, we don't. I know, it's like not a
Speaker 3: local thing. Yeah, no, local, I have got I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm very I'm going to take Kansas City, I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: only because they pulled rabbits out of their hat too
Speaker 3: many times this year, and I think they've got one
Speaker 3: more left in them. Yeah, come on, they're they're good.
Speaker 3: They're not as good as in the past. But if
Speaker 3: you're magical or whatever, whether it's refs, if you believe
Speaker 3: that stuff or not, they just find a way. Maybe
Speaker 3: you're Yeah, they seem to do you Spagnola. Spagnola comes
Speaker 3: up with something. Do you believe in destiny?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: Well, sure, maybe there's maybe they are a tiam Desk.
Speaker 2: Momentum. I don't believe they're on a run.
Speaker 3: I will say they're on a run, a nice run.
Speaker 3: They are in a nice run. They've had a healthy year.
Speaker 3: The Eagles running game, it's just so good though. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's like holy their line is opening these holes for Barkley.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if Philadelphia wins it. They gave
Speaker 3: a good game too the last time they played. Last second.
Speaker 3: That's down Whateveragnola has I just read, Spagnola has not
Speaker 3: given up his Spagnola defense has not given up one
Speaker 3: hundred yard rusher in the in the playoffs, like ever
Speaker 3: that could happened in the first two carries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know exactly. It's happened. It's happened. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: for these guys.
Speaker 3: Should be fun. Should be a fun game. It should
Speaker 3: be a great game. Yeah, I'm looking forward to an
Speaker 3: exciting game. I think I would definitely take the over though.
Speaker 3: What is it forty nine?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably yeah, because it could go over in overtime.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's gonna I think thirty three thirty,
Speaker 3: so I think they're going to be scoring some points.
Speaker 2: What do you go?
Speaker 4: I got the comment, uh, coming in and preventing the
Speaker 4: entire thing in total, I don't want either.
Speaker 2: Come on, Medior, I want the media to win. You
Speaker 2: have to come.
Speaker 4: If I have to choose, I'm gonna choose the Eagles
Speaker 4: just as a Broncos fan.
Speaker 2: I can't root for the three people, that's true. Uh,
Speaker 2: But I mean this should be a really good game.
Speaker 4: You know, last time the Super Bowl was in New Orleans,
Speaker 4: we got the Niners and the Ravens and ye had
Speaker 4: the lights go out and yeah.
Speaker 2: Just dramatics usually happen in New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. We'll see what happens. Should be a
Speaker 3: fun game Sunday afternoon. I'm excited. I'm excited to eat
Speaker 3: some good food. I probably won't.
Speaker 2: Where are you going? Church? Function?
Speaker 3: Home home cooking? There, I'll be at true house. Then
Speaker 3: all right, I get to meet the mom.
Speaker 2: Yeah we go, there, we go.
Speaker 3: Where are you going? Big big party? Phoenix, Phoenix, Phoenix.
Speaker 3: Watch it up there? Yeah, yeah, you it's your you know,
Speaker 3: forty thousand foottreen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly with the girls. Oh, you usually have a party.
Speaker 2: We a lot of times you do.
Speaker 3: I don't think this year we're gonna have a party,
Speaker 3: but uh, we usually have a coup all those engineer
Speaker 3: geeks we've never seen a football and take the final
Speaker 3: game exactly, talk about igorithms.
Speaker 2: Tell you what you should be thinking. How about that commercial?
Speaker 2: That was pretty pretty nifty, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like we had invited these this one group
Speaker 3: over man and that's how they worried about is commercials.
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, left at halftime.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what did you just say? I didn't say anything. Okay,
Speaker 3: I didn't say what are you to beat?
Speaker 2: Bleep me? No, I don't I didn't bleed.
Speaker 3: I can't believe that. I can't believe it's butter commercial
Speaker 3: good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what what do you mean? What's talk about?
Speaker 3: I will tell you that I enjoy the commercials, but
Speaker 3: not nearly as much as the game.
Speaker 2: No, of course not. Of course, should be fun. Should
Speaker 2: be fun.
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about it as we get closer to
Speaker 3: the game on Friday, on Sunday every day. Predictions for
Speaker 3: tomorrow's basketball. Oh, I'm a little like Brian that they'll lose.
Speaker 3: It's a tough place to play, tough place to play.
Speaker 3: There was one that's done that before. Everyone took a
Speaker 3: pretty good team here with Geniegrisson and all that group,
Speaker 3: and and they got beat. Was the time when Jean
Speaker 3: got thrown out for elbowing a guy in the back
Speaker 3: of the neck, pretty much ending his career. It's tough.
Speaker 3: So I'll think a lot. I think they'll lose. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think they're due for one. Yeah. So they don't
Speaker 3: guard the three point line very.
Speaker 4: Well, obviously, if everyone will loses tomorrow, they lose to
Speaker 4: Texas Tech at home?
Speaker 2: Is their worry now? Worry about what?
Speaker 4: What's the worry where this team is headed? No? No, no,
Speaker 4: should be no.
Speaker 2: But but you know how good how good is this team?
Speaker 3: That's that's the problem. I don't know how good they're
Speaker 3: do winning. But to to Brian's point, and then I
Speaker 3: brought it up, they haven't played the toughness of the
Speaker 3: schedule yet. They haven't played the meat of the schedule.
Speaker 3: So they played and get through that, Okay, I'll tell you,
Speaker 3: but you know it's like South Point playing Greenfield and
Speaker 3: not to that extreme. But you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You know you're supposed to win these games.
Speaker 4: They're they're about what one in five and big time games.
Speaker 4: This season, you know, you had the losses to Wisconsin
Speaker 4: and Duke U c l A. He lost to Texas
Speaker 4: Tech over that their place. You beat Iowa State, which
Speaker 4: is good at the time. He beat a ranked Cincinnati team,
Speaker 4: even a West Virginia team that they're not the same
Speaker 4: as going and playing at Baylor, at Iowa State, at Kansas.
Speaker 3: I think I agree with you, Mike. They're gonna live
Speaker 3: and die with Caleb Love. I've said this before, You've
Speaker 3: been on the show. At some point, at some point,
Speaker 3: Caleb Glove's got to take over. And I don't care
Speaker 3: if it's in February, but it definitely has to be
Speaker 3: in March.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: So the thing is that he can take over the game,
Speaker 3: not just by making three pointers. I mean, you see
Speaker 3: him when he makes the three pointers and suddenly it's
Speaker 3: like energy, energy, energy, and everyone is all into it
Speaker 3: and everyone goes up to another level. Caleb Love can
Speaker 3: lead this team without making three or he can bring
Speaker 3: in this. We saw this over the weekend. He got
Speaker 3: to the basket with that left hand a lot, a lot.
Speaker 3: You know, he made some shots even with the right hand.
Speaker 3: Two I think maybe three of those. But if he
Speaker 3: can do that to mix them with the three, because
Speaker 3: he's gonna get his threes, right, But if you can
Speaker 3: get other ways of scoring, that helps him.
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's not just about him. Here's another thing.
Speaker 3: I think that's even more help from kJ offensively, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because they're not getting much from him, be getting defense
Speaker 3: but not often.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think I think Carter Brian's making up
Speaker 2: for what kJ is. Yeah, very much.
Speaker 4: And I'll probably talk about this on Wednesday, depending on
Speaker 4: how the game goes tomorrow. But Carter Bryant is going
Speaker 4: to be an NBA talent.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it'll be at the end of
Speaker 4: the season or next I think more likely at the
Speaker 4: end of the season.
Speaker 3: It'd be premature if he went out this year. He's
Speaker 3: still too, he's still still yeah, yeah, a good way.
Speaker 3: Because that's what I'll tell you. I'm interested to see
Speaker 3: how Walkeett does against some of these other gigs and
Speaker 3: all he's doing he's been, he's been a monster he has.
Speaker 3: I mean, god, I just love the way he plays.
Speaker 3: And not to be mean or whatever, but Townsend, they're
Speaker 3: playing with one hand behind him. He's not contributed enough.
Speaker 2: Not enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so are playing with four or five guys and
Speaker 3: he's an important part of it and he's.
Speaker 2: Not contributing enough. So that's what the potential they have.
Speaker 3: Are we ready to go? We're way of it. Okay,
Speaker 3: thank you one, thank you Mike, thank you for you guys.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow
