00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:06.639
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day, now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would take everything that came with the

4
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>last really the last eleven and a half months or so, right,

5
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 2>like the feeling of being back alive, caring again, having

6
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>something to believe in, and then you know, obviously during

7
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 2>the season getting results that made you feel, you know,

8
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>made you feel as if it was actually working out

9
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the way you wanted, you were being brought back to

10
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>life like that.

11
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't trade that for anything.

12
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>But there are times where it really hits you as

13
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>far as the sadness that comes with this, right when

14
00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it's all over and you lose in the first round

15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>the NAA tournament, especially when you're the first team to lose.

16
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Also when you feel like maybe you didn't deserve to

17
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 2>be in a position to have to play a team

18
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>like Creating in your first game, it just it just sucks.

19
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>So again, I wouldn't trade it for what we previously had,

20
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>But there are those moments where it hits you hard

21
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>enough to where I think, okay, maybe life was better

22
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>when we were dead. Maybe the inability to feel that

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>pain that comes with it all. Being over in March

24
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>was the better end of the deal. I mean, I don't.

25
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that it is. I know that is

26
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>that it's not the better end the deal. But there's

27
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>none worse than losing in the tournament. And it's it's

28
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 2>one thing for just you know, the casuals out there,

29
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>those that that that really they love their team because

30
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 2>it's their team, but they really prioritize football way more

31
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 2>and basketball if it's uh, if it's good, cool, if not,

32
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking about our offensive line. Like those fans, I'm

33
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>sure they don't like seeing their team lose. But for us,

34
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>like we are not healthy, we're not well. This this

35
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>means way more to us than it should this and

36
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>again I wouldn't have it any other way. And the

37
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>older I get, I guess maybe the more dare I say,

38
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>mature I get, the more I realize.

39
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 3>This isn't normal.

40
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>This isn't this can't be the way I'm supposed to

41
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>be living. Letting a basketball team that I don't and

42
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>have never played for, impact my sanity, my emotions the.

43
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 3>Way that it does. It's a beautiful thing, but it's

44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 3>also at times.

45
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>A scary thing. But as as many of us have said,

46
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>probably more times than we ever want to in the

47
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>last I don't know, seven eight years. If it was

48
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna kill us, it would have already done it, right,

49
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 2>we were gonna quit this, we would have already done

50
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>it long ago.

51
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we haven't been in the tournament in six years.

52
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 3>I gotta be honest with you.

53
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>I knew that, but i'd to hear that as much

54
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>as I did this week kind of put it in

55
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>perspective how.

56
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 3>Long it has been for Louisville.

57
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you've made me answer the question and

58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 2>give it some thought, I could have said, yeah, twenty nineteen,

59
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>you have six years ago. But like you know, I

60
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>guess this run that we had with this team where

61
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 2>we were alive again and good, it made me not

62
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>think that it had been as long as it had been.

63
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's not talk about the scandals, right, I mean, like

64
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>we've gone through it enough to where and look, when

65
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 2>you say you know we're victims, you've gone through it.

66
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean you don't know what you're getting. There's no

67
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>contract as a fan. You take what comes with it,

68
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>good or bad, awful, great, whatever, Right, there's no way

69
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>you know and I don't want to act like the

70
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>university and the program have ultimately been victims.

71
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Players certainly have.

72
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>But you know, obviously some of the stuff that Louisville

73
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>was in trouble for, like regardless of what you agree

74
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>on when it comes to punishment, like, some bad things happened,

75
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 2>but like fans don't deserve that. We didn't sound off

76
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>on some of that stuff. So if today is, you know,

77
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>as bad as it is as far as what it

78
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>makes you feel, if we can just avoid you know,

79
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 2>more six year tournament droughts, we can sometime sooner or

80
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>rather than later, break the drought of making the second weekend.

81
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>And if we can avoid scandals or headlines about our

82
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 2>program that involved sex, like that would be great. That

83
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>even that's an improvement. Right, Like again, long story short,

84
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>today sucked, But if we were ever gonna be numb

85
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>for numb from it or quit it or realize we're

86
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>not getting enough return on the emotional investment, right, we

87
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 2>put a lot of emotion into this, and I've had

88
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 2>way more sadness or empty feeling that I've had joy.

89
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Like if we were going to quit, we would have

90
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>already done it. And I did get a lot of

91
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>joy out of this team really did. And what I

92
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I do feel as if as I was

93
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>trying to you know, get a get a grip, as

94
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 2>they say, mentally, as the season was winding down, as

95
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.639
<v Speaker 2>we're getting closer to March, that kind of stuff. A

96
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of what I could sense was was you know,

97
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>was was true. This team gave us everything they had.

98
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>They weren out of gas. It played really seven guys

99
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty five minutes per game essentially, and they just got

100
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>worn down. They were still waiting towards the end of

101
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>the season, but they weren't as sharp. I mean Louisville

102
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 2>in January. It's stills have been unknown. We'll never know,

103
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>but I think that team, the way they were playing,

104
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>they could have They could have They could have been

105
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of teams. Also, the seating was inaccurate for

106
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Louisville based on what they did with the rest of

107
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 2>the acc but not getting a win in better than

108
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Clemson at least gave the committee the chance to to

109
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>put Louisville where they did and then claim it's because

110
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 2>who have you beat? Right like and again, part of

111
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>me says, well, you know, all you can do is

112
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 2>play who you play and win. And that's true, but

113
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>also you know, you did have chances. It's just, you know,

114
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>to be Kentucky at roup, even at full strength, easier

115
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 2>said than done. Same thing with Duke. I mean, Tennessee

116
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>that was a mean, they're a great team. Also that

117
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>was Louisville. Really that's the first time this group had

118
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>ever even faced a team that challenged them in any way.

119
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>But overall, the acc as a whole did hurt Louisville

120
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>because it kept you from, you know, even getting opportunities

121
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to get wins that could have helped you avoid the

122
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 2>eight line. But also it didn't you know, it didn't

123
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>it didn't challenge you. And look, maybe the challenge would

124
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>have been a reality check. I don't believe that it

125
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 2>would have been to where we would have been in

126
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>a position to where Louisville is. You know, I'll just

127
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>say this as a college basketball lunatic, I hate everything

128
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 2>about being in a league where you get no value

129
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>for beating anybody and you only stand to really be

130
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 2>dropped down multiple pegs with a potential loss. Like that's

131
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>an existence that I'm not familiar with, and it sucks.

132
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not blaming the acc for what happened today. I'm

133
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 2>just saying like that was the ultimate, Like you know,

134
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.600
<v Speaker 2>there was benefit to it as well, because we won

135
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of games and we were in a position

136
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 2>coming off of the traumatic can he payne experience to

137
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>where those wins that used to just be, hey, it's

138
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 2>another night at the office kind of thing.

139
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 3>We took great.

140
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Satisfaction, great joy in it because we hadn't had it

141
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>in a while. But all in all, today just sucked.

142
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>But I still love this group, and I think I

143
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 2>realized an appreciation for something I never knew that I

144
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 2>had and may never have known that I would have

145
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>had had it not been for timing and circumstance, meaning

146
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Louisville being dead and then having a group coming in

147
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 2>and having success as well as having a clear appreciation

148
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>for being here. So it's over, and it's sad. Louisville

149
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>loses today eighty nine to seventy five. Creighton was just better,

150
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and we've talked a lot about them as a team

151
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>and what they did today.

152
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 3>We can continue to do that.

153
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, we've been pretty call heavy today and if you

154
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>guys want to give us a call, you can fillow

155
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy nine hundred is the number. Just quick,

156
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>just some quick scores and then we'll let you guys here.

157
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I want you to specifically hear something Terrence Edwards said

158
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 2>after the game, because I thought he answered a question

159
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>just kind of talking about his experience at Louisville, which

160
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>really just confirms what a lot of us could tell

161
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>is that these guys man, this was this they were

162
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 2>they were a specially group. But anyways, back to some

163
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.399
<v Speaker 2>scores from around the NAA tournament. Right now Clemson, Clemson

164
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>is in trouble. Clemson is down thirteen to twenty nine.

165
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I'm sorry, thirteen to thirty one to McNee

166
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>State with thirty seconds left in the first half. Clemson

167
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>has thirteen points at halftime.

168
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean.

169
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Gross Auburn forty one thirty one. They have an early

170
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>second half lead. The second half just started their up

171
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>ten against Alabama State. This is one verse sixteen. I

172
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>don't since an upset here, but clearly not a great

173
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 2>look for an Auburn team that is playing an inferior

174
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>opponent that they haven't played and maybe at any point

175
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>this year, and they're coming off three or four losses.

176
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying they're vulnerable. But if you were an

177
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Auburn fan hoping that today's today, you get right and

178
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>you win by forty to remind you that you were

179
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a great team.

180
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 3>But you know, you just played in the SEC.

181
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>So far not so good because now Alabama State has

182
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 2>counted thirty three forty one, so you know even you know,

183
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>surviving advance obviously, but today's a day where if you

184
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>wanted to doubt Auburn so far, there are some signs

185
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 2>that maybe you know you were right not to say

186
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>you should have predicted this, but they're getting scored on

187
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>jan I Broom just turned it over. So anyways, Also

188
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>VCU up eight to six early.

189
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 3>In that one.

190
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I took VCU. In fact, I got him in the

191
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>sweet sixteen. So yeah, I got them too. Yeah, and

192
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I actually took them to win this game money line

193
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>in a bed just because I.

194
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 4>I'd be I did too. You were talking that ball

195
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 4>yesterday when we went off air. You're very high on VC.

196
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 3>I talk a little ball. I could talk a little ball.

197
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 5>It's almost like you know what you're talking about.

198
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sometimes you know. I mean, I do feel like

199
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 2>my assessment of the acc unfortunately was right because Louisville

200
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 2>losing today, I don't think was because you know, today,

201
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>really today didn't have a lot to do with the

202
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>ACC as far so you played. I mean, you could

203
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 2>make the claim that they didn't have anybody to challenge

204
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 2>them to where they weren't as prepared, like that's that's

205
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the case. But like I like, Louisville's best win being

206
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Clemson doesn't mean that they're anything.

207
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Rather they're great, bad whatever.

208
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>It just was a real eye opener for me because

209
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, I'd never believe Clemson

210
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>was that good, and.

211
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 5>You know.

212
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 2>That was you know that that so far, the ACC

213
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>not looking so good as far as the two teams

214
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>that got in outside of Duke in Carolina, who of

215
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>course had to use to play in game.

216
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know what is looking good your your sports

217
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.399
<v Speaker 5>betting account you hit last night.

218
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I uh, that's got that's gotta alleviate something, yep.

219
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 2>And it's been and it's great. It's what's keeping me

220
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>alive and interested in the tournament. And uh, you know,

221
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 2>if anything, I'll chalk that up as another benefit from

222
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 2>the awful experience is because I really had to lean

223
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>into the whole betting thing when it comes to not

224
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 2>having a team to cheer for in the tournament. And

225
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 2>now my team's gone, and and you know, I had

226
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 2>a fun season and now I can just turn shift

227
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 2>turn strictly to you know, wagering. So anyways, real quick,

228
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:52.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll get well, we will get to the phone lines

229
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 2>in just one second. But I do want you guys

230
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 2>to hear this from Terrence said words, just because I.

231
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Believe that it it. It's worth hearing, for sure.

232
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>But also I mean, I just think if you're somebody

233
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>that that is like me, and if you're not, that's okay.

234
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>We can all feel different. That's fine. Nobody can trust me.

235
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 2>You can feel whatever way you want to feel, think

236
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want to think. But I didn't have any

237
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>ability to be mad or disappointed today. I'm disappointed in

238
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the result, but not disappointed in this team or the staff.

239
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I just I appreciate everything about them. And today you know,

240
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't their day.

241
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 3>But it wasn't because they laid an egg or they

242
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 3>were you know, complacent. I just think they were. They

243
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 3>were added, they were on e and they played a

244
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 3>team today that will clearly beat you.

245
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 2>If that's the case, and they as far as the

246
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>adversity this team hit today.

247
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry.

248
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 2>This season they hit a lot of it, but they

249
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>did hit something today that didn't happen this year, that

250
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a nineteen to four run go against them, which I

251
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>think would make anybody shell shocked. And I you know,

252
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I think the announcers use that word as far as

253
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>she you know, saying they were shell shocked, and maybe

254
00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 2>they were, but I think that would happen to a

255
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of teams. We haven't talked about it yet, but

256
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to Pat Kelsey's technical on the other side.

257
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>But here's Terrence Edwards real quick here for those of

258
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 2>you that haven't heard this. This was This was after

259
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the game him just asked kind of about this experience.

260
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Is one year at the University of Louisville.

261
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 6>I can say this season is remembered for all the

262
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 6>games combined, from from the beginning the adversity we faced

263
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 6>early in the year with the losses and some of

264
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 6>my key players go down in the in the year,

265
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.399
<v Speaker 6>and then and this team just rallied together and never

266
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 6>had an excuse of anything. We went to practice, it

267
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 6>was no excuse and it was the next man up mentality.

268
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 6>I've never been a part of nothing like that. And

269
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 6>and I'm walking away from this with a good attitude

270
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 6>and the things that coach p K brought to me

271
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 6>in my life, and I think it's gonna help me

272
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.799
<v Speaker 6>be a better father and and moving forward, I know

273
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 6>I'm fine going into this pro thing because all the

274
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 6>adversity I faced this year and and my life just

275
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:57.360
<v Speaker 6>gonna make me better.

276
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean that, that's that's exactly what I mean. Everything

277
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>he said there, I mean I wouldn't have I wouldn't

278
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>have been able to predict his answer. But I think

279
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the connection that you felt for this team despite them

280
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:14.440
<v Speaker 2>only being here one year, is because you could tell

281
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>that they they had every opportunity to have excuses, they

282
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 2>had excuses, legitimate excuses, but they don't. They didn't have any.

283
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 2>There was no level of that even entering their brain.

284
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>And you could tell you a Tumps forgot that they

285
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>were missing Coren Johnson in case in Bryor.

286
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.559
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's.

287
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Because they, you know, they were just appreciabve to be

288
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 2>here and they were locked in and we've had people

289
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.519
<v Speaker 2>around here using excuses when they really weren't any justifiable

290
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 2>excuses to be in a position that we were in

291
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>at that time. So love these guys. Hate that it's over.

292
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Back to the pone lines. Five x two, five seven one.

293
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Seventy nine hundred is the number. Let's welcome in, Dave, Dave,

294
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 2>you're on Sports Talk seventy ninety.

295
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.240
<v Speaker 3>What's happening.

296
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 7>Pat Kelsey? I really liked the gad But do you

297
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 7>know that he now is zero five and the NCUBLEA

298
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.120
<v Speaker 7>tournament play. I mean, that can't a concern.

299
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 2>But Dave, but Dave, Dave, Dave, and you know, yeah,

300
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that's not a good record. But you have to keep

301
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>in mind when Pat Kelsey was going to the Ncublea

302
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:19.919
<v Speaker 2>tournament and losing, he was a fifteen seed or a

303
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>fourteen seed or a thirteen seed playing top seed. So

304
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 2>like the expectation for Pat Kelsey to win NCUBLEA tournament

305
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>games at the schools he was at. I mean, you

306
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 2>never want to lose, but like we're talking to him

307
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.960
<v Speaker 2>being twenty point underdogs in those games. So today, again

308
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>he had his first tournament game where he was the

309
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>better seed, he was the favorite, and he lost. But

310
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't look at any I think when you're coaching

311
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>at that level, and I've said this before. A lot

312
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.759
<v Speaker 2>of these guys win a couple of games, get a

313
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.720
<v Speaker 2>new job, and they end up proving to be guys

314
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>who benefited from a fluke run. Happens all the time,

315
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and yet coach programs still make the mistake of hiring

316
00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 2>those guys. I'm way more impressed with you if you're

317
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>taking team to the dance every year because you have

318
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 2>no margin for air. You have to win your conference

319
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>tournament and regular season. I mean you have you don't

320
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>have to win your regular season, but like you've got

321
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 2>to only be good in your league, you got to

322
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>win your tournament. So today again not a good not

323
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.919
<v Speaker 2>a good day for Louisville for sure, but the tournament

324
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 2>losses for Kelsey don't care at all about just my opinion,

325
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.519
<v Speaker 2>and I'm actually happy that he's been there as many

326
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>times as he has it both win through Ben Charleston.

327
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well you make some great points, but thank you today.

328
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 7>I thought they lost the game in the first half. Yeah,

329
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:36.679
<v Speaker 7>because the defense they just it seemed like they went

330
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 7>they were shell shocked by all those screens and they

331
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 7>weren't defending. I mean they didn't they really. I thought

332
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 7>the defense got better in the in January and February.

333
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 7>But you know, the last couple of games, like Duke

334
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 7>in the second half and today the especially the first hand,

335
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 7>but their defense just wasn't there.

336
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.440
<v Speaker 2>No, I know, you're right, Dave, the defense l flat

337
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.879
<v Speaker 2>and you mentioned them kind of here. Here's what I

338
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.640
<v Speaker 2>think happened all year, actually not all towards the end

339
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>of the year, and then in the postseason, even against

340
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the teams you played in the ACC, is that when

341
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 2>you watch enough of Louisville, you realize, you know, they've

342
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 2>got some guys that are tough defenders, and if you

343
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 2>just try to, like you know, dare them to stop you.

344
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a good recipe for Louisville because they've got some

345
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.079
<v Speaker 2>guys that are smart defenders that are physical. But if

346
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 2>you get Louisville moving a lot defensively, that's where they're vulnerable.

347
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.400
<v Speaker 2>And today Creighton took advantage of that to where at

348
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>times they were just kind of running all over the

349
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:36.240
<v Speaker 2>place because they weren't used to seeing as much movements

350
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 2>as Creighton does in the half court.

351
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's a credit to Creighton. They're well coached, they.

352
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Run some really good stuff, and I think Louisville even

353
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 2>at times, was prepared for a couple of the things

354
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.599
<v Speaker 2>they did, but they just they couldn't stop it. Yeah.

355
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 7>Another thing, though, Nick, was that technical foul. Yeah, that

356
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 7>was the that's the wrong time. I mean a year,

357
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 7>We'll just I fuck that was I thought that was big.

358
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Speaker 7>But anyway, it's been a great season. And you know

359
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 7>Kenny Payne's excuse, he was dealt a bad hand. I

360
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.839
<v Speaker 7>have to left every time I think about it. But anyway, I'm.

361
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 3>Gonna thanks Dave. I appreciate the call. Let's get to

362
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.000
<v Speaker 3>a quick break.

363
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back on the other side and we'll talk

364
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>about the technical I mean, I don't have any strong

365
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.519
<v Speaker 2>opinions on it. I don't want to see it as

366
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 2>if I'm about to share something i've been I've been

367
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.319
<v Speaker 2>holding back. I mean, it wasn't ideal to get it.

368
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I think he got it when he wasn't expecting it,

369
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>because it sounds like he I mean, it sounds like

370
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he probably felt like he maybe had free reign. I

371
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know because he I mean, what he got a

372
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.680
<v Speaker 2>technical for was technically being on the floor, not what

373
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 2>he said. But I think it was a build up

374
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 2>thing all right quick break, we'll come back on the

375
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 2>other side. Keep it rolling along. It's coffee and Company,

376
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and we are field about Thornton's here on Sports Talk

377
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety.

378
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's Sports

379
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Talk seven to nine day.

380
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I do think our previous caller, who Dave who mentioned

381
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 2>the Pat Kelsea technical because it's something that I don't

382
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.759
<v Speaker 2>think really had any true impact on the outcome of

383
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.440
<v Speaker 2>this game. And I don't really have any strong feelings

384
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>on although you know I don't. I'm pretty sure that

385
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 2>was his first technical of the season as as Louisville's

386
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 2>head coach. And I don't know if the I mean,

387
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 2>the call was terrible, and I don't really feel like

388
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.200
<v Speaker 2>this was a game where the I mean I do

389
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, this is just maybe me from the

390
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 2>from the Louisville side of it. I do think there

391
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 2>were times where they were getting the benefit of a

392
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 2>bump where we weren't. But again, they they clearly the

393
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 2>numbers show they're a team that knows how to defend

394
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.519
<v Speaker 2>you without fouling because they fit fewer come out they

395
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>commit fewer fouls than anybody in the country. But the

396
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.480
<v Speaker 2>technical he was hot, and I.

397
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Do believe that.

398
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>It was more of a build up than anything that

399
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:04.640
<v Speaker 2>was particularly said at the time, because he was more

400
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.640
<v Speaker 2>fiery after the technical. Like what he did after getting

401
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the tea, I think was way more deserving of a

402
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.599
<v Speaker 2>tea than the first he as far as just seeing him. Now,

403
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>what we don't know is what he said. He claims

404
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>to have have have said something he should not have

405
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.680
<v Speaker 2>said that led to it, and.

406
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 3>You know.

407
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>That that'll get you. But I was talking to to

408
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:31.039
<v Speaker 2>somebody that was that was behind the bench during the game,

409
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and when I asked, you know what what because I thought, honestly,

410
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>he got a quick trigger. But what I didn't realize

411
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 2>is apparently he was. He was working that specific official

412
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>during the entire game, maybe more maybe maybe he's doing

413
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.680
<v Speaker 2>that like any coach does during a game, and it

414
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.359
<v Speaker 2>just hit a breaking point. But he might have said

415
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.319
<v Speaker 2>something after that call, because when they called the foul

416
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:54.000
<v Speaker 2>on Hadley, I mean, that was that was a bad call.

417
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't think it had an impact in

418
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 2>the outcome, and and I'm not even sure had they

419
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.519
<v Speaker 2>not called it what it would have changed at all.

420
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 2>But it might have been a breaking point for Kelsey

421
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>as far as him just losing it and maybe crossing

422
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.519
<v Speaker 2>a line, as far as what was said, and the

423
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 2>ref just you know, his breaking point of like, all right,

424
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>you're getting teed up. You need to know you can't

425
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>keep you know, talking to.

426
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Me that way.

427
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Although I do love and this is what makes us crazy,

428
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the ref who teed him up.

429
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:21.799
<v Speaker 3>And I don't even know his name.

430
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Apparently somebody's pulled up like you know, pictures of him

431
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.240
<v Speaker 2>on the internet, social media, and he's a Nebraska fan,

432
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.079
<v Speaker 2>which you may thinking, what the hell's that matter.

433
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I did say this either yesterday or the day before.

434
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Creighton basketball is rare because they have a humongous basketball

435
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 2>fan base. They're top like top five in the country

436
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 2>in attendance. And it's because you know, all those the

437
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.599
<v Speaker 2>billions of people who go to Nebraska football games that

438
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.240
<v Speaker 2>don't care about Nebraska basketball because Nebraska basketball's never won

439
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.960
<v Speaker 2>a tournament game.

440
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Like quite literally, it's a weird state.

441
00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Man.

442
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Nebraska has Nebraska football fans and creating basketball fans, So like,

443
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, do with that what you will. But again,

444
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.279
<v Speaker 2>today's officiating, I mean, I don't. I do not think

445
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Louisville lost today because the refs cost him the game.

446
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 2>But here's pat when being asked about the technical overall.

447
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:18.799
<v Speaker 5>Can you just talk us through kind of the situation

448
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:19.680
<v Speaker 5>there at the end of the game.

449
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.680
<v Speaker 4>You seem to be frustrated, what led to the technical

450
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:24.119
<v Speaker 4>and kind of what were you kind of displeased within

451
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 4>that moment.

452
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.440
<v Speaker 6>I got frustrated and said something I shouldn't have said,

453
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 6>and he teed me up.

454
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:35.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, far less.

455
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 6>Than an ideal time to get a technical.

456
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.000
<v Speaker 5>I realize that so.

457
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 6>Is what it is.

458
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, I've not heard anybody or really even

459
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 2>seen anybody that I, you know, communicate with or that

460
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I follow on any of the social media platforms that

461
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>has expressed any level of like concern about the direction

462
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>of the program and the guy that's leading it, which

463
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, even if I did, it wouldn't change anything

464
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.920
<v Speaker 2>for me, because you know, you can find it.

465
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if I look hard enough, I would find it.

466
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just, you know, even after today's result, I'm not

467
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.279
<v Speaker 2>sure anybody can can can feel as if one of

468
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the issues for little basketball right now is the guy

469
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.039
<v Speaker 2>coaching them. But I think even today, for me, you know,

470
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they were I disagree with one of our

471
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:28.720
<v Speaker 2>callers earlier said we weren't prepared for for what Creighton did.

472
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 2>There's a difference in being prepared for it, and you know,

473
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 2>just simply like, I don't feel like Creighton got a

474
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.759
<v Speaker 2>lot today that we gave them, if that makes sense.

475
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:47.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that Louisville was asleep at the

476
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>wheel and clearly just miss scouted this team. I think

477
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:55.079
<v Speaker 2>what happened was early on and maybe in fact, I

478
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 2>think they missed early shots that I mean, that was

479
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.680
<v Speaker 2>my worry. Is that, all right, you can't keep giving

480
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:03.880
<v Speaker 2>them those open looks? Can you Like? That's like, I

481
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't keep doing that. That seems to be an it.

482
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't take that risk. And

483
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>then they started making some of the open looks they

484
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>were getting, and sometimes maybe it was just okay, they

485
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>got lost on a switch. But Creighton did a lot.

486
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>As we talked about just a moment ago. Creighton moves

487
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 2>constantly and they in Kuckburnner first guy, as big as

488
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.119
<v Speaker 2>he is in the half court, he's always moving. There's

489
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 2>not a lot of stationary stuff, which can really, you know,

490
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.799
<v Speaker 2>be an issue for teams that haven't seen it. And

491
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of teams that Louis Wille played

492
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 2>this year, in even teams they beat, like they didn't

493
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.279
<v Speaker 2>do that, and had they done it, you know, maybe

494
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the result would have been different.

495
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 3>I doubt it.

496
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 2>But here's what it comes down to, and I said

497
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 2>this to start the show. Louislle did not take advantage

498
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 2>of weaknesses that that Creighton had.

499
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 3>And I think.

500
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.680
<v Speaker 2>The reason that they either chose not to or just

501
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 2>weren't able to was because you simply have to account

502
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>for the big, towering presence they have that is Ryan

503
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Colchbrinner and you know, you don't have anything close to him, right,

504
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:17.160
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to utilize multiple different guys at the

505
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 2>same time, Like you can't like there's nobody you can

506
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>just you know, single handedly match up with him. And

507
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he did anything today where like, well,

508
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you can't give this giant a clean look like I

509
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 2>think he you know, the argument, I guess more so

510
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 2>would be, how did he end up around the rim

511
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>with such a good look? Well, if he's around the rim,

512
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 2>what's not a good look.

513
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Who's gonna you know, who's going to.

514
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, be up there to to really challenge

515
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.799
<v Speaker 2>him at the rim. Your best bet is to get him,

516
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:46.480
<v Speaker 2>get him out of his comfort zone to where he's

517
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 2>winded to you know, physically push him around to where

518
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 2>he's he's not on balance, and he just starts missing

519
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.400
<v Speaker 2>shots around the rim that you start to think, man,

520
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.799
<v Speaker 2>how could somebody seven to two not make that? And

521
00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 2>lild wasn't able to do that? And again, was it

522
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>or so because they didn't prioritize that as as a

523
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 2>key to the game, or because they just weren't able

524
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to I think.

525
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 3>The the clear.

526
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, you wouldn't want to go full court

527
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:17.440
<v Speaker 2>press and really just you know, challenge a team to

528
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.319
<v Speaker 2>have more stamina than you, because again you are short

529
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 2>as it is. And Rain Smith was not able to

530
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:25.559
<v Speaker 2>go today. I mean, Rain made a three, but man, like,

531
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.079
<v Speaker 2>he was so not himself in any way, and it

532
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>wasn't even about like what he was doing with his leg,

533
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>with his ankle, It was just everything about his movement.

534
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, here I am playing, you know, body language expert,

535
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 2>but like he clearly wasn't comfortable out there. And I'm

536
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 2>not saying he was in excruciating pain, but I believe

537
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 2>that they put Rain out there, not because they felt

538
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.079
<v Speaker 2>like they needed him to make five threes. I mean,

539
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>that would have been ideal, and you always know that

540
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.319
<v Speaker 2>at any moment he can do that. But I think

541
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>they just realize everybody else offensively for us is a

542
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.319
<v Speaker 2>bigger concern for the opposing team defensively if he is

543
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:03.519
<v Speaker 2>on the floor. So you know, I just think today

544
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to not be able to speed them up and turn

545
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>them over when they are insanely turnover prone was a

546
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.720
<v Speaker 2>real I mean, was a huge factor in today's game,

547
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the many factors, of course, And I think

548
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.279
<v Speaker 2>that's the one thing I do have a real complain about,

549
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:20.200
<v Speaker 2>is that, like I don't think when you know when

550
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:21.799
<v Speaker 2>you're when you have proven to be a pretty good

551
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>team defensively, and this team turns it over more than

552
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:27.440
<v Speaker 2>anybody in the country, or the point guard does. I'm sorry,

553
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>the point guard turns it over more than anybody in

554
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the country. I don't really know how why that wasn't

555
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 2>something in the first like ten minutes that that you know,

556
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 2>you saw any real like it should have been something

557
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.759
<v Speaker 2>you exploited. And not only did they not, I didn't

558
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:41.680
<v Speaker 2>really see anything that made me feel like they were

559
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>trying to turn Ashworth over and what happens in basketball,

560
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Like a lot of things in life, if you've got

561
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Speaker 2>a well established identity, good or bad, you can you

562
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.359
<v Speaker 2>can you can ride some momentum and live in a

563
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:58.519
<v Speaker 2>different world. And I think this Creighton team, you know,

564
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>once they started making a lot of open shots and

565
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:05.200
<v Speaker 2>once Ashworth was never once. Once the first ten to

566
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>twelve minutes of the game go by, and he's not uncomfortable, right,

567
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.519
<v Speaker 2>he's not turning it over, He's not, you know, uncomfortable.

568
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Then you know he's not thinking about being turnover prone.

569
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 2>He's playing loose, and he's making tough shots, shots that

570
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>were well defended. So it really comes down to this.

571
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.880
<v Speaker 2>The first half run that Creyton went on, I mean

572
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.599
<v Speaker 2>that was the ultimate factor in the game. Louisville had

573
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.440
<v Speaker 2>never had a run against him like that, against anybody

574
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 2>they played, and it was the perfect storm for Creighton

575
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>because you know, they weren't you know, Louisville was missing shots.

576
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>They did make some uncharacteristic mistakes, but more than anything,

577
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Creighton took advantage of Louisville in that run. Again, I

578
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 2>don't even have the shot charted in front of me,

579
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 2>but I do feel like in that run, Louisville missed

580
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>some shots that they either should have made, could have made,

581
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.319
<v Speaker 2>or they simply altered their shot because they were worried

582
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 2>about Caulkbrinner. That led to Creighton getting some open looks

583
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and transition where they cash in. And again, you know,

584
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.640
<v Speaker 2>some will say, well, it's luck they shot out of

585
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>their rear end they did in a way, but also

586
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. When you play for Creighton and you are

587
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.759
<v Speaker 2>a player of that caliber for a team like that,

588
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:17.119
<v Speaker 2>if you're getting healthy, sometimes really good looks, you can't

589
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 2>be surprised when they make that.

590
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.759
<v Speaker 3>In fact, you need to be.

591
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 2>If they get good, clean looks, you should be thinking

592
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 2>that you're blessed if they miss it. And that's not

593
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to say you left over a lethal shooter. That's just

594
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.039
<v Speaker 2>because you know, like, don't give somebody who like they're

595
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 2>some of the guys who made shots today for Creighton.

596
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Early on, they got good looks. They're there to make

597
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.480
<v Speaker 2>those shots, that's why they're there, and they made them.

598
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.920
<v Speaker 2>They got confident and then they started making shots that

599
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:48.799
<v Speaker 2>were really tough. So Louisville offensively was impacted by cok Brenner.

600
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.279
<v Speaker 2>That led to them being vulnerable to create and getting

601
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.160
<v Speaker 2>those good looks, and they cashed in in a major

602
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 2>way also defensively, And I don't feel like this happened

603
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>as much, but it definitely stands out as one of

604
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 2>those things that that that's memorable. From that first half

605
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 2>run that was a disaster. Louisville either just didn't get

606
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.319
<v Speaker 2>a rebound or they were prioritizing keeping Cockbrinner from from

607
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 2>eating the glass that it led to either a long

608
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 2>rebound or a loose ball tap out of the off

609
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the off the shot off the miss to where they

610
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>got other looks like that. I mean, that's what they

611
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 2>at one point went seven to nine from three, and

612
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Louisvill dug themselves a hole that you I mean, yes,

613
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:30.480
<v Speaker 2>they did have a They did have clearly, you know,

614
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:33.480
<v Speaker 2>some some wins this year where they were coming from behind,

615
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.519
<v Speaker 2>but this was different. And this was in Sibil, a

616
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:38.359
<v Speaker 2>tournament against the team that regardless if you believe Creighton's

617
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:44.240
<v Speaker 2>good or not, I mean teams that lose in situations

618
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 2>when when they are up by that much, that's like

619
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 2>a major red flag about you, right, Like more often

620
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker 2>than not, teams who lose. I mean, let me see

621
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>what Craton's biggest lead was, I mean it was twenty,

622
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.920
<v Speaker 2>right at least It's so so Louisville led for forty

623
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:05.519
<v Speaker 2>two seconds of the game. I'm sorry, No, Louisville led

624
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:07.759
<v Speaker 2>for two minutes and ten seconds of the game. They

625
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>trailed for thirty seven minutes and eight seconds. They it

626
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 2>was tied for forty two seconds, So biggest.

627
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 5>I don't know why.

628
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 2>It's not showing me the either way. Whatever the biggest

629
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 2>lead was, it was at least twenty I believe. Maybe

630
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong, but yeah, so let's see. I love STAB

631
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.319
<v Speaker 2>broadcast because it gives you so many stats that are valuable,

632
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.200
<v Speaker 2>but being able to find them is a real pain

633
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:34.640
<v Speaker 2>in the ass. But let's just say the biggest lead

634
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.839
<v Speaker 2>is twenty. If you're a team that is losing twenty

635
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.759
<v Speaker 2>point leads in not just losing them, but losing the

636
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:44.440
<v Speaker 2>game like that probably means one of two things. You're

637
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:49.119
<v Speaker 2>not very good at winning, which again, would you know

638
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 2>be the factor in you being a good or bad team.

639
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 2>But it also, I think means that you either might

640
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 2>have been good or you're falling apart. So like once

641
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:01.119
<v Speaker 2>you bury yourself, that deep good luck no matter who

642
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:04.440
<v Speaker 2>you are winning also Louisville digging out of a hole

643
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 2>with no rain Smith as far as like him being

644
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.680
<v Speaker 2>anything close to who he is and just who you

645
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.400
<v Speaker 2>are as a team, when you've been able to put

646
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.000
<v Speaker 2>yourself in the position with really maximizing every ouch you

647
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 2>can get out of seven guys, it's just, you know,

648
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:19.839
<v Speaker 2>that's where the game, that's where the game was lost.

649
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>It was and I actually think in the second half strategically,

650
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Louiville did some good things encountered and and and it

651
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 2>just was too big of a hole to climb out of.

652
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.319
<v Speaker 2>And you're never gonna be just I mean, you're never

653
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:32.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna be completely I don't know.

654
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:35.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure Creighton's had games where they couldn't score, but.

655
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, the scenario where you go on big enough

656
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>runs to eliminate that lead just didn't.

657
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 3>It just wasn't realistic.

658
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not trying to build Creighton up as some goliath,

659
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>but I honestly think that you know, they're the They're

660
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.039
<v Speaker 2>the last team that you want to you want to

661
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.519
<v Speaker 2>see when you're an eight seed, and they have a

662
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:57.039
<v Speaker 2>guy that really, no matter who you are in college basketball,

663
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna change some variables of your identity when that

664
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>guy is your opponent, because nobody you play gives you

665
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:09.440
<v Speaker 2>that he's Zach Edy. But the diet version. How about

666
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>this score. There's fifteen minutes left in McNee State is

667
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:20.039
<v Speaker 2>beating Clemson forty to sixteen. Quick break, stick around right

668
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven.

669
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's

670
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

671
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:32.759
<v Speaker 2>My upset special in the sweet sixteen was VCU, and

672
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:34.599
<v Speaker 2>they got off to a good start. They're now down

673
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.440
<v Speaker 2>seven to BYU, which isn't the end of the world.

674
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.839
<v Speaker 2>But VCU is a team that I believe that their

675
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.240
<v Speaker 2>ability to slow you down and lock you up would

676
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.279
<v Speaker 2>make them a good candidate to take down this BYU team.

677
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:52.640
<v Speaker 2>But now that BYUS found some offense, I'm not as

678
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.720
<v Speaker 2>confident because VC you can't get behind too much. They

679
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.240
<v Speaker 2>don't have the offensive weapons or firepower to go on

680
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>some kind of big runs. So anyways, uh, let me

681
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 2>start here in our final segment of the four o'clock hour,

682
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:07.039
<v Speaker 2>and we'll get back to the phone lines coming up

683
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:08.360
<v Speaker 2>here in the five o'clock If you guys want to

684
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:10.239
<v Speaker 2>join us. Five to two fo' seven and one seventy

685
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred is Coffee and Company and we are fuel

686
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:15.599
<v Speaker 2>about Thorden' zero Sports Talk seven ninety. So obviously today's

687
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.760
<v Speaker 2>been a different show than usual, mostly just really a

688
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 2>long postgame show, really a funeral, a celebration of life,

689
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.360
<v Speaker 2>more so, I should say for this group because they're special.

690
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:27.320
<v Speaker 2>But we'll try to, you know, keep this thing on track.

691
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:29.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe it's almost five o'clock. I feel like

692
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.679
<v Speaker 2>I need more time today just to you know, get

693
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:34.199
<v Speaker 2>an extended therapy session, because that's what I use this for.

694
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 3>I love doing what I do. It's a blessing.

695
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Tried never to take it for granted, but I mean

696
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>it when I say it, if I didn't have this

697
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:43.280
<v Speaker 2>platform to, you know, just at least, you know, talk

698
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.599
<v Speaker 2>through it with myself and with you, I mean, I

699
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:48.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like I'm I'm I bit like I

700
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.800
<v Speaker 2>wish you guys had something like this because it's helped me.

701
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Because I can tell you the feeling and the feeling

702
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:57.239
<v Speaker 2>and the emotion I had today before the game. That

703
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 2>can't be good for my expectation, the expectance for my life.

704
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:05.039
<v Speaker 2>It's not normal. Nobody should be should be the way

705
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I was before this game today because it's just not normal.

706
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, something that I'm annoyed by and then something

707
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I love as we wrap up the four o'clock hour. Clemson,

708
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're getting their ass kicked. They're down forty

709
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:23.280
<v Speaker 2>three to twenty four with thirteen minutes left. They're a

710
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>five seed, They're against McNee state. That will lead to

711
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:31.400
<v Speaker 2>everybody claiming Louisville lost to Creighton because the ACC was

712
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:36.400
<v Speaker 2>ass as I say oftentimes, and I'm in the wrong world,

713
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:40.679
<v Speaker 2>the wrong industry when it comes to this fact that

714
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 2>never gets said but is something undoubtable. Both things can

715
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:48.400
<v Speaker 2>be true. You don't have to be one way or

716
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the other. The ACC was awful Louisville had they played

717
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>other teams today, had they had a healthy Rainsmith, like,

718
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>it's all what it could have should have. But like

719
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>the loss today doesn't mean Louisville had the season they

720
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 2>had that and that they're really a bad team now.

721
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:09.079
<v Speaker 2>I also can't claim that you know today's results makes

722
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:12.760
<v Speaker 2>you sure that they needed to be at least a

723
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.559
<v Speaker 2>six seed. I mean, I still believe that. But either way,

724
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Clemson and I don't like. Look, when I think about

725
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the ACC being the way that it is. Let me

726
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.400
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you. It's not just because the teams

727
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:29.719
<v Speaker 2>that you know used to be consistently good, sometimes consistently great.

728
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.199
<v Speaker 3>It's not just because they suck.

729
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Fact, the big, real red flag about the ACC falling

730
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.039
<v Speaker 2>apart is that Clemson's good because they're not good.

731
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:40.719
<v Speaker 3>They're not supposed to be good. Look at them. I

732
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:41.599
<v Speaker 3>got Brad.

733
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:43.760
<v Speaker 2>We had somebody call in the other day complaining that

734
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I mispronounced their coach's name. It wasn't intentional, it was

735
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.239
<v Speaker 2>because it's Clemson, I mean, and they got the five seed.

736
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't mean to pile on. Maybe maybe

737
00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:59.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just because I'm in a mood because of what

738
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>happened today. But when the the biggest concern about the

739
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.480
<v Speaker 2>ACC isn't anything other than Clemson has now the last

740
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.440
<v Speaker 2>two years been the best, second to best, second or

741
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:11.840
<v Speaker 2>third best team in the league, right, I mean, that's

742
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.119
<v Speaker 2>not sustainable. Brown Well, Brown l whatever the hell his

743
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 2>name is. He was at Clemson when the ACC was

744
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.199
<v Speaker 2>in a different place, and he was lucky to keep

745
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:30.199
<v Speaker 2>his job. I'm projecting, aren't I I'm just making I'm

746
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 2>making valid points, but I'm just picking on Clemson because.

747
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.480
<v Speaker 3>We lost.

748
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Who the hell?

749
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I mean if if if we had

750
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.960
<v Speaker 2>McNee state, we might have lost two. But they I

751
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.960
<v Speaker 2>mean again, when I watch Louisville beat Clemson, look, I

752
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I love my team. I want whatever however it happens.

753
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I want the best more and I wanted to succeed.

754
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.559
<v Speaker 2>But I'm also real with with like what I see

755
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.599
<v Speaker 2>when Louisville beat Clemson in the ACC semis I thought

756
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.480
<v Speaker 2>they beat a team that was good but nowhere near

757
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:06.400
<v Speaker 2>like like to me, that's that's a team that in

758
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 2>even the decent years of the ACC, they're the fifth

759
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:11.480
<v Speaker 2>or sixth best team at best.

760
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:12.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, at best?

761
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like who who you worried about on Clemson.

762
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they've got Hunter, who's a solid player, but

763
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 2>like who you worried about on their team? And again

764
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:24.760
<v Speaker 2>here I am talking crap about a team that just

765
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.239
<v Speaker 2>you know that that you know in fact, this that's

766
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 2>what sucks is they're actually they got a seed that

767
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we probably deserved over them as far as you know,

768
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.039
<v Speaker 2>like we swept them. And yes they did beat Kentucky

769
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and they beat Duke and those wins have value, but

770
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:40.320
<v Speaker 2>all the other there are a lot of other metrics

771
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:42.719
<v Speaker 2>that favored Louisville, and they also didn't have. They also

772
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.880
<v Speaker 2>had bad losses that Louisville didn't have. So again I'm projecting.

773
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:49.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm just being, you know, being a jerk. But they're

774
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.320
<v Speaker 2>getting killed, you know, speaking of getting killed, have you

775
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:52.880
<v Speaker 2>seen the Gonzaga Georgia score?

776
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 5>No, I haven't.

777
00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to hear it?

778
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:57.599
<v Speaker 5>Of course I do. Maybe I've been paying attention.

779
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:01.559
<v Speaker 3>We are at the under twelve in Gonza Zaga Georgia.

780
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:05.639
<v Speaker 3>Gonzaga is winning twenty seven to three. Oh my gosh,

781
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.639
<v Speaker 3>So again ask you. We'll see what happens. But the

782
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:11.639
<v Speaker 3>SEC deserved a lot of the love. They got nearly

783
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:12.079
<v Speaker 3>all of it.

784
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:15.639
<v Speaker 2>But I think that the teams that got the benefit

785
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:18.239
<v Speaker 2>of the doubt for catching a good team or a

786
00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:20.719
<v Speaker 2>great team on and off night, they got in based

787
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:22.079
<v Speaker 2>off that, and it'll prove out that those.

788
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:23.039
<v Speaker 3>Teams weren't very good either.

789
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Texas we saw last night Georgia who got in safely.

790
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.079
<v Speaker 3>Yikes. All right, let's talk about the louis of Men's clinic.

791
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:36.800
<v Speaker 2>On a day like today, I find myself really trying

792
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:38.679
<v Speaker 2>to think about all that I'm appreciative of because I

793
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:40.800
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of things I'm blessed with, and my

794
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:43.599
<v Speaker 2>relationship with the Little Men's Clinics one of them, because

795
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:45.320
<v Speaker 2>they've helped me. They can help you, Fellas, when it

796
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:48.840
<v Speaker 2>comes to a lot of different things, you could probably

797
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 2>be better and you don't even realize it, right Like

798
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.559
<v Speaker 2>if you have ed, you know that, and I get it.

799
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.079
<v Speaker 2>That's probably not something that's fun to deal with, But

800
00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:59.440
<v Speaker 2>why would you choose not to address it and make

801
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:00.960
<v Speaker 2>your life better for you and your partner?

802

<v Speaker 2>treating a Rechtildus function. A ninety seven percent customer approval rate,

<v Speaker 2>So check them out Lulviman's clinic dot com, Babo's two
