Welcome to I on the Ball 5 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.359 here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera in 6 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.640 today with me is Blake Eager from. 7 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.559 The Southern Arizona Sports Tourament film authority is thank you. 8 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.679 And then we got Juan from. 9 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:33.320 Two Sun Arizona sitting in at five ten whatever, wait, 10 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.560 five ten too much? 11 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.399 Too much like that? That's me? 12 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.960 Hey everybody, everybody, Okay, you're your heart rate? Okay, last 13 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.399 night you're fine. You're not gonna jump over any cliffs 14 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.200 or something. No, I think you know. 15 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.359 I mean, there's no good loss, and I don't want 16 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.280 to use that that slogan, but I after our first 17 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.399 half last night and see the composure that we had. 18 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.600 We just couldn't hit any shots, but I thought it 19 00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.679 still played pretty good defense for the most part, and 20 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.240 we were we battled. There was grit there. So if 21 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.480 you listened to the show yesterday, I kind of said 22 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.959 this would happen. You came in today one and what'd 23 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.079 you say, wasn't surprised. 24 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:14.799 By the outcome. No, not at all, because, uh, credit 25 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.920 to Kansas State. They're on a hot streak and they're 26 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.439 playing they're pretty good, pretty well, right, yeah good. 27 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.680 Their record does not dictate how good they and they're 28 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.200 probably the best, one of the best games in the 29 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.519 country right now playing in their lists to the general public. 30 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.040 And you guys are in general public because you guys 31 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.280 seen it a lot. You know the game. They think 32 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.439 that they're what twelve and ten and how good can 33 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.519 they be? And they didn't win very many games? No, no, 34 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.920 they're good. Yeah, you reman. They start off one and 35 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.159 six right right in conference place, so to see what 36 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:43.480 they're doing right now. And we had to go to 37 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.480 their house. I'm not saying that's a storied program by 38 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.239 any means, but you know, any house that you have 39 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:49.719 to go to in the big twelve on the road 40 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.359 is a difficult place to play. Yeah, no question, no question. 41 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.879 Oh, I tweeted, oh on the first half, did you 42 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.799 what did you notice thinking about the game? Maybe Kansas 43 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.200 State or Arizona just anything just struck out. It's funny 44 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.319 what struck out to me? Like just in general? 45 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.560 Yeah, just when you saw the game you're thinking, oh, okay, 46 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:08.879 I mean, just for me, it was it was a 47 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.439 sloppiness of the first half. Huge, Like I just I mean, 48 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.159 Aaron Passes can't control the ball, just making you know, 49 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.560 mistakes at this level that shouldn't be made at this 50 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.319 in this at this point in the season. 51 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.000 I noticed two things. One, Kansas State is very twitchy. 52 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.400 They're very quick to the ball. They're very locked in 53 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.599 on the defensive set. I had a pretty good starting five. 54 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.719 Oh yeah, that McDaniel's kid is gonna be I think 55 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.879 he'll be a legend come March for the Cats or 56 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.080 those Cats. And uh, the other thing I noticed is 57 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.680 Tred Townsend is huge to Arizona. You may not show 58 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.719 it on the stat line in what way he eats 59 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.960 up minutes and really, in my opinion, doesn't do a 60 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.840 lot of damage for Arizona. 61 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.919 Really in my opinion, wow, because let me tell you something, 62 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.319 majority of the city doesn't like him for that reason 63 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.639 that they what does he add to the table, what 64 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.680 does he bring to the table, what can he do? 65 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.680 I mean, honestly, you know I've. 66 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.240 Heard it all season long, not to you, not to me, 67 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.800 because I think Carter Bryant is going to be an 68 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.199 even bigger factor down the stretch, and with Trey Townsen 69 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.240 eating up some of those minutes, that's less minutes for 70 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.960 Carter Bryant to go and commit four fouls like. 71 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:29.680 He usually does. 72 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:30.840 Well. 73 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.919 He is an autorium, but he's a pretty good player. Yeah, yeah, 74 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.000 So this is not Arizona related, but it is what 75 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.719 K State related. They had a halftime lead pretty good. 76 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.360 I said, if that Hawkins kids just stop shooting, they'd 77 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:44.719 have a fifteen point lead. 78 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.280 But he's one of the better players. The dude couldn't 79 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.800 stop shooting. I'm thinking, in spite of themselves, that dude is. 80 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.319 Killing him absolutely, and he's supposed to be pretty one 81 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.840 the he could hit the rim. I thinking I had 82 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.800 never seen him before. I said, god, I can't remember 83 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.759 in Arizona player like him, and then I then I 84 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.280 saw Caleb. Yeah, that's that's funny. I mean it's one 85 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.120 of those games that and we've had these games in 86 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.159 the past where we had these conversations and you look 87 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.280 up and you go, we got to be up by 88 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.519 fifteen points right now, and you're going, we're up by two. 89 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.720 Last night, I would have said we were down the 90 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.079 way that I thought we would be down twenty points, right, 91 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.600 And I look up and I go, Okay, it's not 92 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:24.519 as bad as it looks. 93 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.879 If there's a consolation to fans who watch the game 94 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.920 and are kind of a stoote to it, they played horribly, 95 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.199 shot horribly, through the ball away horribly, and you know 96 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:33.879 that's by three. 97 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.839 But I have eight first half turnovers, right at least 98 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.519 anyway seventeen total? No, no, no, But that's that's the 99 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:40.920 whole thing. 100 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.279 So if this is a horse race and you're thinking, oh, 101 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.959 this horse who's pretty good, got in trouble. He couldn't 102 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.439 get through the lane, couldn't get past these horses. But 103 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.519 he's the best horse in the league, in the race. 104 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.240 But all these things happened, and that's what was there Arizona. Yeah, 105 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.800 and they shut themselves on the foot seventeen times. 106 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.639 Yeah, they definitely did. Yeah. Where we hit two from 107 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.079 two for twenty two? Yeah, yeah, they hit one for nineteen. 108 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.360 It was the worst three point shooting game I've ever 109 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.560 I think maybe i've ever seen in my life have 110 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.680 been the three point live Yeah, three for forty one, 111 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.160 three for forty one. Look at me doing math? Wow, 112 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.120 I had to pull my calculator. You were ready for that? 113 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.160 I was, Yeah, I already written down. I got notes on 114 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.079 my hand. No, it was it was bad basketball. I 115 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.079 thought it was like the wreck. You go to the wreck, right, 116 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.439 you work at the wreck. You've seen the shot better 117 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.759 than that was. To make that clear, I shot Vic 118 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.079 who calls me? You know, Vic calls in and he 119 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.399 texts me like, oh, Jill barber Cliffe. He says, I 120 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.040 went to the I went to the park today. I 121 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.160 shot twenty two threes. Twenty two threes and I hit three. 122 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.319 I should be on the team. Yeah, you didn't have 123 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.600 a six seven guard on you though, or bumping bodies. 124 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.199 But yeah, true, it's a it's just one of those nights. 125 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.160 And I thought, you know, I thought at some point 126 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.720 that cold streak would end from an offensive standpoint, but 127 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.279 it was they really had to grind to get any points. 128 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.160 Yeah, yeah, it's it's funny up. So yesterday I said 129 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.160 I thought they would lose, and only because of this. 130 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.639 And I've seen thousands of games already, in almost two 131 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.040 thousand games of you they what do they do and 132 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.959 what are they notorious for? Getting up for the Houston's, 133 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.160 the Texas Tech, the Iowa States getting and then playing 134 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.959 out of their minds and playing really well. Tell them 135 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.680 they're not as good as Kentucky. They beat Kentucky by five. 136 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.759 Tell them they're not going to be blah blah blah, 137 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.519 the who's in town Oregon State. They'll lose who they played, 138 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.519 and not that Kansas State was that team. But people 139 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.120 in people's perception, maybe even theirs, look at us, look 140 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.720 at us. I mean there's two Sorry, go ahead, I 141 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.079 was gonna say, there's two videos. If you're opposing team 142 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.279 when it comes to march that you watch for u A, 143 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.480 it's Texas Tech, It's Case State at their place, because 144 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.920 they were able to disrupt the tempo on offense exactly exactly, 145 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.480 even if even with open looks. I mean, Texas Tech 146 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.560 I thought was much better defensively at home than Kansas State. 147 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.600 But you disrupted the offense and our offense couldn't figure 148 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.000 it out. Welcome to November December. Yeah, you know, what 149 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.199 are you gonna say? Uh, Blake, Blake loves to run 150 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.839 in transition. What am I to do? I'm gonna hold 151 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.399 the ball for twenty five Yeah. If you can't do it, Blake, 152 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.160 I don't care how if you're beating me by ten. 153 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.879 Guess what you're still not gonna do. You're not gonna 154 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:18.839 go in transition because I'm not gonna let you. 155 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:20.560 Now. 156 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.319 I noticed the body language in Arizona last night. It 157 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.720 looked like they expected to win that game. Yeah, and 158 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.879 because they're Arizona, because they're eleven and one of the conference. 159 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:34.639 How many have you seen that before? 160 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.360 Yeah, they're eleven and one in the PAC twelve and 161 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:37.439 then they go to loose to Oregon State. 162 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.800 That's the same story. I covered the team every day 163 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.160 for twenty five years. That was the thing. 164 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.680 They go to Washington State, some white dude, six seven 165 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.079 dude you've never heard about, scores twenty four points and 166 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.680 beat someone. You're thinking, well, he wasn't on the scout. Yeah, yeah, 167 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.839 you're absolutely right, and not that McDaniel was not on 168 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.040 the scout. Some dude ends up with twenty four points 169 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.199 and as a the. 170 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:01.240 Day of his life. 171 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.519 That's how it goes in the tournament too, exactly. Princeton, Oh, 172 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.560 these dudes, we got this and we'll just look at 173 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.480 the second round already. 174 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:10.600 Nope. 175 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.800 Yeah, and you never want to look past the opponent, right, 176 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.560 But I mean, when you play a team, and to 177 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.279 Princeton's credit, they're fundamentally sound. Right, they're fundamentally sound. Sure, 178 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.399 they're not going to make mistakes. That's the whole thing. 179 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.680 And don't you tell the guys that said, look, they're good. Yeah, 180 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.399 and they're smart and they're clever, and they get back door. 181 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.959 They'll back the door the hell out of you. They'll 182 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.159 do these things and you'll say, what the hell just 183 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.039 happened By that time, thirty nine and a half minutes 184 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.120 have gone by and we're looking for a three pointer. 185 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.440 Yeah, and you're trying to chuck something up at the 186 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.320 end of the game hoping it goes in when you 187 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.480 haven't been able to make anything at all during the game. 188 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.919 Okay, so you guys have been pretty pragmatic after last 189 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.679 night's game. I wanted to say this for a comment 190 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.559 that was on a story on our website. Okay, so 191 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.399 this is last night. Okay, I won't say his name. 192 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.799 Lloyd really needs to get these guys mentally ready to go. 193 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.879 Frustrating watching these guys achieve at this point in this season. 194 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.639 Losing to a team doing well is one thing. Losing 195 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.440 to a sputtering k State team who shot just as 196 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.600 poorly as we did. Is another putting this weak product 197 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.879 out there is why we were consistently sent home in 198 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.840 early March. We have to we have no consistency in 199 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.840 anything we do, from shooting to passing. 200 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.799 It's on and on and on and off. 201 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.919 If you told me a team who reinbounded the or 202 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.440 opponented by thirteen had lost, I would not believe you. 203 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.559 This just happened. So that's kind of extreme. Kansas State's 204 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.600 better than sputtering Kansas State team. If you've wachd in 205 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.519 the last six games they played, you would make that 206 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.039 argument that they're much better than Oh, they beat Iowa State, 207 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.000 they beat Kansas Y. 208 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:43.279 Yeah. 209 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.919 Yeah, I mean they're racking up what they're three and 210 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.399 four against squad one teams right now. I mean, that's nothing. 211 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.759 You know, if you didn't know, if you didn't know 212 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.080 the record and you said they've done this, you think, damn, 213 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.240 who are you talking about? I know once at March, 214 00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:58.960 but they might not even play in March. You know, 215 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:00.679 they might not be im I mean, they may be 216 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.519 in it, but they might not make the tourney. And 217 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.000 that's that's crazy thing. Yeah, listen, I'm going to say 218 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.440 this and We've had this conversation. You have a basketball 219 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.679 fans and where for me, I am one right a 220 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.039 long time, You're not just yeah, I'm not a fair 221 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:15.519 weather fan. 222 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:15.759 Right. 223 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.240 It's really difficult to live in peaks and valleys, right, 224 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.519 and I feel like our basketball fans are so peak 225 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.519 and valley driven, like great win. Oh my god, I 226 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.840 was wrong about Tommy Lloyd to where they lose next game, 227 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.200 they need to fire Tommy. It's Tommy Lloyd's again. I 228 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.240 will say this. Coaches coach players play right, so there's 229 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.879 an execution of a game plan. Some doesn't. Sometimes it 230 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.200 doesn't go that way, and you cannot coach guys when 231 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.960 they shoot one or two for twenty two from the 232 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.279 three point lane and some not all of them were 233 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.960 great looks, great looks. Some of them were wide open 234 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.480 looks they just banged out. It wasn't case Stage's defense. 235 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.279 They were just missing this and vice versa. Yeah, it 236 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.159 was one who didn't play greed defense on Kansasy. 237 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:56.279 No. 238 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.600 I thought last night was our and you said this earlier, Steve. 239 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.279 It was us playing down to an opponent and our 240 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.879 mental state opposed to the way we came out against Baylor. 241 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.440 Iowa state that defense is shut down. And I didn't 242 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.679 think they played terrible defense by yell right any means 243 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.480 last night just I think there was a lot of turnovers. 244 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.279 That also goes in your mindset. I mean, there were 245 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.720 so many errant passes last night. Yeah, you're like, what 246 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.799 what are we doing? Who's runing to Yeah? 247 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.240 There is a play where Basar how to rebound and 248 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.480 took it right, tipped it back. 249 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:24.879 Yeah. 250 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.639 Yeah, yeah, thinking over there and nobody was and you 251 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.240 saw I think it was Love went up to him 252 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.320 and said, just grab the ball, you know. I mean 253 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.320 there was three plays down the strets that you look 254 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.159 at and you go, if we don't make those plays, 255 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.919 there's a good chance that you're either winning that game 256 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.840 or going to overtime. 257 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:40.720 We're going to talk to Brian Peterson after we go 258 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:42.480 to break in about a minute, but and he'll talk 259 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.480 about And I thought you thought your observation is perfect 260 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.600 because I hadn't really heard it. 261 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:47.879 It's a peak and valley place. 262 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.639 It's almost to the point of eleven one and Arizona 263 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.759 fans and probably some of the athletes can't handle prosperity 264 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.120 because eleven and one. 265 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.320 I'm booking my flight to the Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 266 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.720 And before this started, it's like, you know, the world 267 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.200 is ending, wasn't it in December? 268 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.879 Oh yeah yeah? I mean I thought I think we 269 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.519 talked about this when I went on the message boards. 270 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.919 But this is like the worst thing. I oh what, 271 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.960 I thought you were a smart man. I'm not. I'm not. 272 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.679 It's just it's all a persona at this point. It's 273 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.519 reading those comments going, you know, like we are so fortunate, 274 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.080 and people are like, we gotta get rid of this 275 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.080 coach and have like what are you talking about? Like, 276 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.720 I get it. You don't love losing in March. Nobody does. 277 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.600 The greatest team has to win the last game. Sure, 278 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.519 I understand that, but like you can't argue with his 279 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.519 regular season and pre season body of work. It's funny 280 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.399 because last night Michigan State with Izzo, which which you know, 281 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.200 you could talk he's a good coach or a great 282 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.039 coach whatever, lost to Indiana, right, and they had and. 283 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.320 Indiana had lost like seven straight horrible game. MSU was 284 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.799 ranked highly, thought of, highly, done very well, and now 285 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.120 they've lost three or four and you're thinking what I'm 286 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.360 sure those fans are feeling the same way everybody in 287 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.120 this town's feeling get rid of the guy. 288 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.080 Yeah, blah blah. And this is just casual dudes who 289 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.759 are making burgers, flipping burgers, and that's no disrespect.
