00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's nick coffee.

3
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started at five o'clock hour

4
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>here on a Tuesday afternoon coffee and company fueled about

5
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety always always fueled bout Thorntons.

6
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>You guys know that I stopped in at Thornton's on Sunday,

7
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, Sunday I went and knew I knew well.

8
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I was supposed to be filling in for

9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Tony Cruz and then he ended up I guess getting well.

10
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>I think there was. I was basically on call to

11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>come in and fill in on Monday morning yesterday morning,

12
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 2>and of course warming up in the bowl. Yeah. They

13
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 2>keep me in the bullpines ready, you know, ready when needed.

14
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>And I got the text on Saturday that he was

15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>under the weather and was going to be, you know,

16
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>needing to get back to full health, and it may

17
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>not be he may not be ready to go by Monday.

18
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 2>So I told him, yeah, you know, just just let

19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>me know. I'll be in the bullpen warming up. So

20
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>then I got the text Sunday that he was recovered,

21
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't and I wouldn't be needed. So because

22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I have to get up, I gotta leave my house

23
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>at like three thirty in the morning when I fill

24
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>in on HS because the show starts at five. So

25
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I ended up going and getting gas because I needed

26
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 2>gas and I didn't want to do it in the

27
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 2>morning and potentially, you know, not get as early as

28
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I needed to be. So I'm at Thornton's. I'm filling

29
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>up with my Refreshing Rewards membership, saving three cents per gallon.

30
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>That's what you get whenever you are a member. You

31
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 2>also at times can save up the twenty five cents

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>per gallon for periodic pillups. But anyways, I got the

33
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>text that I was not needed, So you know what

34
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I did instead of, you know, just going home and

35
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to force myself to sleep early as possible because

36
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna have to get up at three am,

37
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I realized, you know what, Nope, don't have to get

38
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>up that early anymore. I'm gonna walk in Thornton's and

39
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>head right over to the beer Cave. Went in there,

40
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 2>picked me up a twelve pack of bush Light, and

41
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>had a few beers and did not go to bed

42
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>really early. And to be honest with you, it's always

43
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>an honor to be filling in on the big stick,

44
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>as they say. But it was also nice did not

45
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>have to get up that early and enjoy a few

46
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>brews and just you know, finish my weekend without thinking

47
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>about that three am wake up call. And I don't

48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>mention the beer selection enough at Thornton's. They've got just

49
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>about everything you'd need. So one of the many reasons

50
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>why you should be a member of the Refreshing Awards

51
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>program because if so, then you're considered family. I mean,

52
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 2>we're family. So if you haven't done it by now,

53
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 2>something tells me you probably won't because don't say I

54
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>haven't told you all the reasons why you should, so,

55
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>no better time than now. Refreshman Awards dot com. You

56
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>can download the app on your phone if you've got

57
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>an Android or iPhone. It's easy to find. It's free,

58
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and I can tell you for me, it's been a

59
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>game changer. I don't remember life before being a Refreshment

60
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Awards member. Of being honest with you, what was life

61
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>before that? Was it real? I don't know? All right?

62
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>So Louisville in action tomorrow taking on I don't even

63
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>know is it Cal or Stanford. I think it's Cal. Yeah,

64
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>it's Cal. So the two the two West Coast schools

65
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>coming to town for Louisville tomorrow and on Saturday to

66
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>wrap up the h the regular season. And I hadn't

67
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>even thought about Senior Day on Saturday, but a couple

68
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>of people mentioned it on the text line, and yeah,

69
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean it'll be it'll be weird because I mean,

70
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>you've got and really, I don't even like Javon Hadley

71
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>can play in college basketball next year if he wants to.

72
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Same thing for Casein pryor same thing for I guess

73
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>that's like like Fat is out of eligibility, Chucky will

74
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>be with that is going to be without out of eligibility,

75
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Rain out of out of eligibility, and Big Frank is

76
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:03.199
<v Speaker 2>out of eligibility. So you got James, Scott, Ken, I Russ,

77
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and I guess those are the two that like we

78
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>know will not be participating. But anybody else, I guess

79
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, it's tough to say because like Casen

80
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>was in his final year of eligibility, but he gets

81
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>an extra year because of the JUCO rule and then

82
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 2>also he can apply for a medical red shirt and

83
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>he can he can get two years if he wants,

84
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 2>so I would assume with him not looking like an

85
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>NBA draft prospect, and of course he's not even going

86
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>to be able to work out for teams because you

87
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>know he's recovering from a torn ACL I think it'd

88
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>be a no brainer to come back to college, and

89
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I would assume he'd want to come back to Louisville,

90
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>but you really just never know. So yeah, I mean,

91
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>what they decide to do, I'm not sure. So we

92
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 2>know Chucky and Terrence and a Trey ol Ray as well.

93
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Trailway is going to be the guy who doesn't have

94
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>any eligibility left, so hepburn Edwards, Trejure, those and Rain

95
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>and Noah, those guys are for sure going to be

96
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>included in senior Day. But again, Javon, because he played

97
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>a year at Juco, he could come back if he'd liked.

98
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>But he is a senior, and so is Casein and Cooran.

99
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, you know, he he certainly is going

100
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>to be able to apply for a medical red shirt

101
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>if if he wants. Yeah, Coran is just a this

102
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>is Koran's June true junior season. So yeah, he'll he won't.

103
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.959
<v Speaker 2>He won't be a part of it regardless because even

104
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>if he doesn't come back to Louisville, he's not a senior.

105
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>So and by the way, so for those who don't

106
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'll I already said this really quickly because I don't.

107
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's not me. For those who

108
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 2>wonder how Javon and prior could be coming back because

109
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 2>of the JUCO things, So diegy, Diego Pavia. That's the

110
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>young man's name, right, the quarterback for Vandy. Thank him.

111
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Junior college athletes should be thanking him because he followed

112
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 2>a lawsuit against the NC Double A claiming that his

113
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 2>years of playing junior college should not count towards his

114
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>NC double A eligibility because the NJC Double A is

115
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>an entirely different entity than the NC DOUBLEA. So basically saying,

116
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't hold you should not be able to hold

117
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>years against you should not be able to count towards

118
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>my four years of eligibility if I didn't spend those

119
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>years playing you know, within your underneath the umbrella of

120
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 2>the NC double A. And he won. So what the

121
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>NCUBLEA did. Instead of looking at each case individually, they

122
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.199
<v Speaker 2>basically said, while we try to figure this out, we're

123
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 2>just going to say that if you are a college

124
00:06:52.319 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>athlete and your eligibility was expiring this year, in any

125
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>of those years counting towards your expiration is one, if

126
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>one or two seasons, even one of them, it doesn't

127
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>have to be two, just one of them was played

128
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>in the junior college level, then you get an you

129
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>get an extra year. So Javon started his career at Northeastern,

130
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>a very small Division I school, and then he went

131
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to Indian Hills Junior College for a season, was really

132
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 2>good there, and then he was at Colorado for two years.

133
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>So that year of JUCO is now not counted towards

134
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 2>his eligibility. Same thing for Cason. Cason started his career

135
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 2>at Boise State, and I believe at Boise State could

136
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 2>be wrong. I believe he was there one year, maybe two.

137
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm gonna have to look it up. Yeah, So

138
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Cason played at Boise for two seasons and then ended

139
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 2>up going JUCO and then played at South Florida last year.

140
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>So technically Cason can get a year for the JUCO

141
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>A year for the medical red shirt because he didn't

142
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>play and enough of Louisville's games this year. So again,

143
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe they maybe they're honored at Senior Night. Maybe they're not.

144
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe they already answered that and I

145
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>just don't realize that. I'm not sure. But yeah, I mean, look,

146
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>if you've you've currently you've got you're Pat Kelsey. You've

147
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>got two guys coming in. The big man from Europe

148
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>who is currently I think he's Yeah, let me let

149
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>me just double check this because I think this is

150
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 2>something that not that we talk a ton about recruiting

151
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.159
<v Speaker 2>here in I mean, we just don't talk a lot

152
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.679
<v Speaker 2>about recruiting on the show. But for what it's worth,

153
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.039
<v Speaker 2>the big fella that committed Louisville out of nowhere, Sonny

154
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 2>threw from Germany. He ended up getting a profile on

155
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty four seven Sports, and he is now a top

156
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty five player overall and a high four star. In fact,

157
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 2>he's ranked a head of Malacamorino, who's heading to Kentucky,

158
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 2>also one of the front court players in this twenty

159
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty five class. So you've let's just say, you've got

160
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Sonny through and oh, by the way, a top five

161
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>player overall, the number one point guard mckel brown junior.

162
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>And then let's say you know you're bringing back. Let's

163
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 2>say you bring back when you know you well, I

164
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>guess I shouldn't say you know you're bringing back, because

165
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess things could change. But I would hope that

166
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>kenn I Rus comes back, and I would hope James

167
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Scott comes back, and I think you will. And then

168
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>let's say you get Korn back, you get Casing back,

169
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 2>you get Javan back. I mean that leaves it to

170
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>where you really you've got not as many spots to

171
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 2>fill in the portal. And if you go out there

172
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and get you know, like some I mean imagine going

173
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>and getting a Chucky or a Terrence or you know,

174
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 2>guys like that, I mean, this team could be really

175
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>special next year. However, somebody stopped me the other day.

176
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I was I was where was I Oh? I was

177
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 2>leaving Elma Paul and I was talking to somebody who

178
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 2>who brought up something that I'd said and they and

179
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>they agreed and hadn't thought about it, which, like, I'm

180
00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>sure there's many people who don't agree with things. That's

181
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know, like I think we just we

182
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>got the we got a magical group of guys that

183
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>that came in. Not to say that like these guys

184
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>are once in a lifetime talents, although they're good, clearly

185
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Chucky's a special, special guy, but like you could have

186
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>on paper a class that ranks ahead of Louisville's portal

187
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>class that they just brought in the team we're watching

188
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>right now. Like, I just I think it's really been

189
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the perfect storm for Pat Kelsey. He found guys that won,

190
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>are good enough to play here, they fit what he

191
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>wants to do, They're mature, they clearly have bought in

192
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and and and they are, in my opinion a lot

193
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 2>of times a reflection of him from the sideline when

194
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>they're on the floor as far as their energy and

195
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>their enthusiasm and all that. So, you know, I do

196
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 2>think Louisville could be really good moving forward. I see

197
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>no reason why Pat Kelsey can't keep this thing going

198
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 2>and get Louisville back to where they're just a consistent

199
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>top tier ACC program that every year is in the

200
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 2>tournament safely, and who knows, maybe every now and then

201
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>there's a special team. Do you feel like could win

202
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>at all? I mean, we're not there yet. I'm getting

203
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 2>a little bit ahead of myself. But while I see

204
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 2>no reason why that can happen, I also have found myself,

205
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>especially during this run when they were just you know,

206
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 2>mowing down teams, like this is a special group too,

207
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 2>that like we should Like, I don't know how easy

208
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be to recreate how this whole thing

209
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 2>came together, because look, there's teams out there that have

210
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>better talent than the low level top to bottom, have

211
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>more depth, have better NBA, better NBA prospects, that kind

212
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, But that's not you know, what's really evident

213
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>in recent years is that you get guys that can

214
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 2>play well together that are all collectively bought in, because

215
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 2>when you're mixing and matching, you can have a roster that, man,

216
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 2>on paper, it's loaded. It looks like it's going to

217
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>be tough for anybody to beat them because they had

218
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 2>really good players, and they brought those guys back, and

219
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 2>then the players that weren't so good they transferred and

220
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 2>they added other really good players. So like, finding that

221
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>perfect balance is easier said than done. And I really think,

222
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, with this team, maybe I'm wrong here, Maybe

223
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe we see this team in the postseason look better

224
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>than we've ever seen them play. I hope that's the case.

225
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 2>They'd be awesome. But what has made this run so

226
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>awesome one is clearly what we got what we had

227
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>gone through in previous seasons where we were just you know, miserable.

228
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we were dead as a program seemingly. That's

229
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 2>a big factor and why this has been so awesome.

230
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>But also like I feel like we're getting really the

231
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 2>maximum amount of what we can get out of these guys. Sure,

232
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>sometimes they're gonna have off nights and not make shots.

233
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>They'll have games where you know they didn't play their best,

234
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 2>but like who on the floor that's playing legitimate minutes?

235
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>For Pat Kelsey, do you feel like we're not getting

236
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 2>enough out of as far as like what what? Like

237
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess what the better way to word it would be,

238
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 2>he's maximizing what these guys can do. Like there's not

239
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean maybe maybe you could say, like Canai ruis

240
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>but like he's a freshman, like you're gonna see it

241
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.159
<v Speaker 2>flashes that will remind you why he's a top thirty

242
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 2>five overall recruit, but also you know he's an eighteen

243
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>year old kid playing against playing with mostly grown ups,

244
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 2>and again that speaks to why he, to me, should

245
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>be a no brainer for Player of the Coach of

246
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the Year in the ACC We talked about that earlier

247
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 2>for those who missed it, because I'm starting to get

248
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>a little paranoid that they're going to give it to

249
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>John Shire. And John Shire has done a great job, can't.

250
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't sit here and tear him down like he's

251
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>not worthy. But this award has typically gone to a

252
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>coach who's done a good job, meaning his team is good,

253
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 2>but he's also surpassed expectations, and more than just calling

254
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 2>them an overachiever, I think the better way to like

255
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>make it because I think sometimes an overachiever can be

256
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.080
<v Speaker 2>almost like a It's almost like a backhanded compliment in

257
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>a way. I think maybe not, maybe that's just me

258
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that sees it that way, But I think the best

259
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 2>way to describe what should really factor more than anything

260
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to Coach of the Year is do

261
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you feel like a team is in the position they're

262
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 2>in because this guy's coaching his ass off, because this

263
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:09.600
<v Speaker 2>guy his whatever he's doing when it comes to coaching,

264
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 2>that has been the that has been a big factor

265
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.120
<v Speaker 2>in why a team is where they are, and there's

266
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>nothing that says John Shire hasn't done a good job.

267
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.720
<v Speaker 2>But let's be real, I think a lot of coaches

268
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:22.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like they could take the team he has and

269
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 2>be very successful because he's got three lottery picks on

270
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.120
<v Speaker 2>his team and one guy who a lot of people

271
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>think is the best college player and like forever so

272
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Louisll's got good players, but like, let's be real, I

273
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.440
<v Speaker 2>feel like Pat Kelsey seems to be the real factor

274
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>in why this is all working. And that's not taking

275
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 2>credit away from the players. Again, we're lucky to have

276
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these guys, but like he went out

277
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 2>there and built this team from scratch, and really, let's

278
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>be honest, there's not anybody in the portal that ended

279
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 2>up at Louisville that I feel like, was it like

280
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>the top of everybody's wish list. I mean, Chucky came

281
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty early, but like he wasn't even the most highly

282
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 2>he sought after guy the transferred out of Wisconsin, that

283
00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>was aj Stores who went to Kansas. I think prior

284
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 2>at the last minute kind of became a because he

285
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.759
<v Speaker 2>was that stretched forward and they're clearly those guys are

286
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:17.120
<v Speaker 2>really valuable now. But let's be honest, like Prior played

287
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.919
<v Speaker 2>five games and then we lost him, and now Louisville's

288
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>in this position. So I rarely get worked up about

289
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:27.200
<v Speaker 2>these kind of awards because you know, you rarely remember, like,

290
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>we don't need the ACC voters to tell us that

291
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey did the best job among his peers in

292
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.759
<v Speaker 2>the ACC this year. But like to me, it would

293
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>be almost a crime to not give it to him,

294
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.720
<v Speaker 2>because it's so obvious that when it comes to how

295
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 2>this award has been given out, ninety five percent of

296
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 2>the time roughly it's gone to a guy who's done

297
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.720
<v Speaker 2>it the way Kelsey's done it. But really not even

298
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 2>probably as because again, this is one of the best

299
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.960
<v Speaker 2>turnarounds you'll ever see in college basketball right now as

300
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>far as the regular season, it just is. And yeah,

301
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:01.399
<v Speaker 2>the ACC being and was a factor as well, But

302
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like maybe the ACC if it was

303
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe if the ACC had seven eight tournament teams, Louislle

304
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.879
<v Speaker 2>would still be in this position. I mean, we'll never know,

305
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 2>but like roster continuity returning pieces, he's got a team

306
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.000
<v Speaker 2>that unless they slip up and lay an egg, and really,

307
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, it'd be a I mean, let's be real,

308
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 2>A loss on Wednesday night or Saturday would be a

309
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 2>bad loss for Louisville. So I don't expect it to happen.

310
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's hope it doesn't. But they're gonna they're gonna likely

311
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.320
<v Speaker 2>finish this year twenty five and six overall eighteen and

312
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 2>two in the ACC, and like, like you can remove

313
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the last two years from that, right, Like, don't even like,

314
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.519
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna think about the ACC Coach of the Year, wark,

315
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.279
<v Speaker 2>don't even think about where Louisville was prior. Clearly that's

316
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.720
<v Speaker 2>that's a that's on the minds of a lot of

317
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.720
<v Speaker 2>people because again, the story itself is I mean, the

318
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 2>turnaround is crazy. But like, let's just say he inherited

319
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:59.399
<v Speaker 2>a team that left because you know, let's say, I

320
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 2>can't this, This isn't even something you could do hypothetically

321
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>because it just doesn't nobody's brain could compute this. But

322
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:09.319
<v Speaker 2>let's just try. Like Kenny Payne left because he was great,

323
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and everybody left with him, and he went to take

324
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>like an NBA head coaching job, and then Pat Kelsey

325
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.359
<v Speaker 2>took over and had to build this thing from scratch

326
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 2>like he did. Even if that were the scenario, it

327
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:24.519
<v Speaker 2>would still be super impressive because it's all out of nowhere.

328
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.480
<v Speaker 2>So again, we'll see for those who missed it, we

329
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 2>did look it up. The voters are all ACC coaches

330
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>as well as sixty media members who are allowed to

331
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.240
<v Speaker 2>vote as well, so we'll see how it shakes out.

332
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll get it, but just to see yesterday

333
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 2>some of those who cover programs like Duke and NC

334
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 2>State and those schools just you know, lobbying for it

335
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 2>to be Shire and saying that he might not get

336
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 2>it because of Pat Kelsey, but it should go to

337
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Shire because look at what he's doing. Again, I can't

338
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 2>tell you he's not a bad job. But to give

339
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>you an example, Rick Patino, I think he's the best

340
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.599
<v Speaker 2>coach that's ever existed in college basketball. He's never won

341
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Coach of the Year in the Big East, he never

342
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 2>won Coach of the Year in the ACC. He did

343
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.359
<v Speaker 2>win it in the SEC. But do you know when

344
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 2>let me look it up here, because I'm pretty sure

345
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>he won it. You know, when he took over and

346
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.319
<v Speaker 2>they had the what do they call him, the the

347
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 2>the what was that group of guys called the the Unforgettables.

348
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that was the news. Yeah, like he

349
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 2>won it then because again they were coming off of

350
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>NCAA punishment. Some of their games weren't even on TV.

351
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.119
<v Speaker 2>He had he had to play a bunch of guys

352
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 2>from Kentucky who, you know, weren't that highly recruited from

353
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 2>what I know, I mean, I don't know, it wasn't.

354
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 2>I didn't follow high school recruiting at that time, back

355
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 2>in the mid nineties. But like again that sort of yeah,

356
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.720
<v Speaker 2>that's to me that like he wanted in ninety and

357
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 2>ninety one, that was because what was he doing. He

358
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>was probably quickly wedded when they didn't expect it to

359
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>happen because of what he inherited. So again, it's it's

360
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>always been a silly award as far as the inconsistencies

361
00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 2>as far as when you get like who it goes to,

362
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.519
<v Speaker 2>does it go to the ultimate overachiever or just the

363
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 2>guy who coached the best team because there wasn't a

364
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.759
<v Speaker 2>big time overachiever, Like there should be two awards. I

365
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:13.319
<v Speaker 2>think one that is, you know for a guy that

366
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>you feel like his team is good because of his coaching.

367
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Even if they're not elite, they're still doing better than

368
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 2>most would have expected, and his coaching is the biggest factor.

369
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Or the guy the other award, or just being Okay,

370
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 2>this team they finished as the number one overall seed

371
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament Auburn, Let's give it to Bruce Pearl

372
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 2>because you know, by default it goes to him because

373
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>his team is the best team in the regular season.

374
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:36.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, We'll come back on the other side.

375
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky actually has Senior Night tonight, and they have a

376
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 2>very similar situation with as Louisville to where a bunch

377
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.559
<v Speaker 2>of guys who they probably wish they had for more

378
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>than just one year because they've had you know, I

379
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I keep saying Kentucky's having a really good

380
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>year because I know they're going to get a three

381
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 2>or four seed unless something unexpected happens, you know, like

382
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a lost to Night to LSU. But I don't know,

383
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>it's hardy. Maybe Kentucky fans know that they're in a

384
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.200
<v Speaker 2>good spot, but maybe they just don't have those vibes

385
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>about having a really good season because I mean, it

386
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>is kind of tricky, right, They have already ten losses.

387
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>If this thing goes when Tonight lost at Missouri on Saturday,

388
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.839
<v Speaker 2>which is really the expectation as far as ken Palm,

389
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.400
<v Speaker 2>they'll be underdogs at Missouri, I think. So that means

390
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 2>they'll finish with a twenty and eleven record like that

391
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.799
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't necessarily in any other circumstance. I think, feel like

392
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.599
<v Speaker 2>a really good year for Kentucky. But you're also probably

393
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a three or four seed, and least I checked,

394
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.759
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty good, although for some reason three just feels

395
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot better than four despite it being you know,

396
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.759
<v Speaker 2>just one seed difference. Anyways, we'll get to a quick break.

397
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back on the other side. Keep it rolling along. Here.

398
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.559
<v Speaker 2>It's coffee and Company fuel by Thornton's on Sports Talk

399
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.079
<v Speaker 2>seven to ninety.

400
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on

401
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

402
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:03.319
<v Speaker 2>So apparently this is dude's to the deal falling apart.

403
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>But Bill Belichick will not be a part of Hard

404
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Knocks in his debut season in North Carolina like it

405
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>was initially reported last week. So again, apparently the deal

406
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:16.279
<v Speaker 2>fell through. I'm sure the deal fell through because somebody

407
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 2>just started to use their brain and realized, yeah, this

408
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:24.440
<v Speaker 2>is certainly a big story. Really still doesn't seem real.

409
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.559
<v Speaker 2>The Belichick is going to be coaching in college football

410
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.920
<v Speaker 2>at ninety something years old, while he also has a

411
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.279
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend that's young enough to be his granddaughter. He's not

412
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.359
<v Speaker 2>ninety something, but you know what I mean, it's an

413
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 2>exaggeration for effect, but close. But for what this show is.

414
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just don't see a whole lot of

415
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 2>compelling and entertaining content coming from this store, from this

416
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 2>show if they feature them. I mean, again, it is wild.

417
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.119
<v Speaker 2>But for this to work, you need characters. You need

418
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>somebody with some charisma, somebody that you know would be interesting.

419
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>He's the least interesting person that I can think of

420
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.200
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to like NFL coaches. I mean, he's

421
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.480
<v Speaker 2>a he's a I mean, he's a no name because

422
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 2>he's a legend when it comes to all that he's accomplished.

423
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 2>But like that's all you know is that he's he's

424
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>an old crotchety you know, grumpy dude who now you know,

425
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 2>has just shown us that he's a lot. We talked

426
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 2>about this a lot last week because I still just

427
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, it sounds crazy because again, like we're gonna

428
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.519
<v Speaker 2>get it behind the scenes. Look at Bill Belichick coaching

429
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 2>college football. Awesome. Still doesn't seem real, but it is real,

430
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna get to see, you know, how it

431
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 2>all comes together. And I'm just thinking, like, yeah, you're

432
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna be underwhelmed because this is television. This is you

433
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.839
<v Speaker 2>know you need, even if it's documentary type content, which

434
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 2>is what this is, by the way, big difference in

435
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 2>reality show and docuseries. But when it comes to docuseries,

436
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 2>like you still have to have somebody that is that

437
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>is in charge of being the storyteller and knowing what

438
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.880
<v Speaker 2>things to really emphasize and focus on when filming to

439
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.599
<v Speaker 2>put the show together, because at the end of the day,

440
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 2>it's still a show. And I just think maybe it

441
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 2>was due to the finances, but I also wouldn't be

442
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 2>surprised if they realized, you know what, maybe we should

443
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>go back to the board and put something else together,

444
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>because I mean Belichick, I just mean to me, he'd

445
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.440
<v Speaker 2>be one of the most boring guys to ever get

446
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 2>a behind the scenes look at, even if it is

447
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:27.880
<v Speaker 2>like interesting because it's a new thing for him. I

448
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.119
<v Speaker 2>think you could probably do a twenty minute feature rather

449
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:34.039
<v Speaker 2>than an entire Hard Knocks series that, of course, you know,

450
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Speaker 2>is really really really popular. All right, So just an

451
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 2>update on the spreads. Tonight. In the college basketball matchups

452
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>that I know, I'm gonna be watching Kentucky, they tip

453
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>at seven twelve and a half over LSU, which I

454
00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>mean that seems to be like a I mean, I

455
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>don't bet on Kentucky, but if I had to, like,

456
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, hey, you need to. You got to make

457
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.119
<v Speaker 2>a bet and it's going to help, you know, pay

458
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the bills, I would I would lean Kentucky to cover

459
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:05.319
<v Speaker 2>because they are at home and LSU is you know,

460
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the SEC doesn't have many terrible teams, and I'm not

461
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.359
<v Speaker 2>here to say LSU's terrible, but clearly they're not very good, right,

462
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean they have Let's see, don't they have that

463
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 2>one random win against Florida? Yes, they do, yees, so

464
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>they beat did they? No? They didn't. Their only wins

465
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 2>against who was it to beat Florida? That was a

466
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 2>real surprise because it wasn't them. They beat Oklahoma, South

467
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Carolina and Arkansas, the three worst teams in the tournament

468
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 2>or in the SEC. Was it Arkansas that beat Florida,

469
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.599
<v Speaker 2>who was it? Missouri got them and that was before

470
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>we knew Missouri was good. And then also Georgia got

471
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>him recently, which was a big win for Georgia. So yeah, look,

472
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky from what you could see because the game was

473
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 2>only on television for what about sixty five seventy percent

474
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.160
<v Speaker 2>of it, I mean, they didn't look good, but I

475
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 2>think Auburn was a bitiger factor in that than anything

476
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 2>else in this LSU team. When you're fourteen and fifteen,

477
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you're like one of two teams that's for sure not

478
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.440
<v Speaker 2>going to the tournament. I really don't know how, you know.

479
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I could see Kentucky hitting a couple threes

480
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>early and then this team just rolling over, which, by

481
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 2>the way, is LSU going to open up. Matt McMahon

482
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is in his third year. He went fourteen and nineteen

483
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 2>in his first season, seventeen and sixteen, last year, fourteen

484
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:32.079
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen. This year, like, I mean, I this day,

485
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 2>this day and age, like I feel like three years

486
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>is really all because again, you don't need a long

487
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 2>time to get it rolling again. Like if a coach

488
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>was currently like put it this way, if if you

489
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:50.039
<v Speaker 2>are let's say they do get rid of Matt McMahon

490
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 2>or Matt McMahon. I don't know how you say it,

491
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.759
<v Speaker 2>but he was at Murray State for a while, by

492
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.839
<v Speaker 2>the way, but he let's say this was his fourth

493
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 2>year and it's same results, like just below five hundred,

494
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and he was, you know, and he gets fired. If

495
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.880
<v Speaker 2>you're interviewing coaches and you're the athletic director at LSU,

496
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to hear about, like how long it's

497
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:10.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna take you now. To expect you to be like

498
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.880
<v Speaker 2>elite right out of the gate would be it would

499
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.799
<v Speaker 2>be unfair. But like this whole give me time to

500
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.279
<v Speaker 2>establish my culture and my let me give me some

501
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 2>time to get my guys in. Gosh, that used to

502
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.200
<v Speaker 2>be said so often about coaches that weren't great early on.

503
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Got to give some time to get his guys in.

504
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Let me get my guys in. Well, you got you

505
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:32.960
<v Speaker 2>gotta every year you can bring in as many guys

506
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.160
<v Speaker 2>as you want and they don't have to be freshman

507
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 2>that you got to build up and develop. So you know,

508
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>I really wouldn't be shocked if a lot of schools

509
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>depending upon the buyout, right, Like that's a big factor.

510
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>But again, like if you're in the if you're in

511
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.119
<v Speaker 2>the SEC and you care about basketball, you've got enough

512
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>money to wear, a buyout's probably not a big deal

513
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>for you. I mean, unless you got something that cal

514
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Perry had to where like it had to work out

515
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 2>the way it did because they weren't going to be

516
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 2>able to pay to fire him, so he had to

517
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>leave and find a new job, which is what he did.

518
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, LSU, like I mean, and this is what

519
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to get you next, is the most recent

520
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:09.279
<v Speaker 2>bracketology that's out there, because I mean, is the SEC

521
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna get every team in their league in outside of three?

522
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean Oklahoma, LSU in South Carolina certainly looks like

523
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>they're not gonna make it, But Texas are they still

524
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 2>are they still flirting with it because Lenardi still I mean,

525
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, I don't I I think it's

526
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:35.960
<v Speaker 2>insanity that Arkansas is even remotely like being considered for

527
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:39.039
<v Speaker 2>the tournament. And yet right now, depending on where you look,

528
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 2>like there's a bracketology I'm looking at right now from

529
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Palm, I mean, he doesn't even have Arkansas. Yeah,

530
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>they're one of the last four end they're the but

531
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.960
<v Speaker 2>they're not. I mean, like Arkansas's resume is absolute trash.

532
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:55.799
<v Speaker 2>They do have the big win at Kentucky, which again

533
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 2>that's a monster win, but like that's an outlier. Like

534
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas right now, like let's look at their resume because

535
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.279
<v Speaker 2>this should tell you and I think most people already

536
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 2>know this. We don't need to expand the tournament. Arkansas's

537
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>net is forty seven. Arkansas is four and nine in

538
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Quad one games and they have a losing record as well.

539
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:23.039
<v Speaker 2>In Quad two games, they're two and three. I mean,

540
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, their Quad one wins or what

541
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Michigan on a neutral court and Kentucky of course, and

542
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>then other than that, I mean, it's probably a road

543
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 2>win against a not very good s SEC team that

544
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>happens to be in the top seventy five. So with

545
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 2>the bubble being and by the way, the bubble's bad.

546
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.119
<v Speaker 2>If you look at all the teams that are either

547
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:53.160
<v Speaker 2>in but barely or almost in, like you can make

548
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the case none of these teams deserve it. But you

549
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.559
<v Speaker 2>know what, you got to put sixty eight teams in.

550
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Baylor right now, Baylor is sitting as one

551
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:06.359
<v Speaker 2>of the last four in. Baylor is nine and nine

552
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:12.000
<v Speaker 2>in their conference, seventeen and twelve overall, and you know,

553
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:13.880
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to wins, they have the you know,

554
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:17.759
<v Speaker 2>are valuable. I mean, I guess it's the double overtime

555
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 2>win against Saint John's on a neutral court. Other than that,

556
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:27.559
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about wins against I mean, they did beat Kansas,

557
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 2>but that Kansas win doesn't mean now what it used to.

558
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm not kidding you like this, like they

559
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:35.799
<v Speaker 2>don't need to. I mean, they're going to expand it

560
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>because it'll make more money and it's already at sixty eight,

561
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:39.839
<v Speaker 2>so like they're not I mean, they have to put

562
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:43.680
<v Speaker 2>sixty eight in as we speak. But man like of

563
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:47.240
<v Speaker 2>all the years to like reward a lower conference team

564
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>that has a way better record, like they maybe they

565
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>would have a much better resume if they had the

566
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.599
<v Speaker 2>end like if you've got endless opportunities. And that's one

567
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 2>thing I'm not being anti SEC here because again I

568
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:00.279
<v Speaker 2>can't deny that the league is the best league in

569
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 2>the country, and I don't even think it's particularly close.

570
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Like when you look at the SEC right now. We

571
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about this the other day. There are tiers. They

572
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.160
<v Speaker 2>have the elite tier, which these teams are all going

573
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to get one seats. Auburn, Florida and Alabama. Tennessee might

574
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:19.920
<v Speaker 2>get a one seed, probably not, but maybe a two.

575
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Like where where where does he?

576
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

577
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 2>So right now Jerry Palm has Auburn Tennessee and yeah,

578
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:30.319
<v Speaker 2>he only has those two as one seats. He has

579
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Houston as a one, which I guess that makes sense.

580
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 2>Duke is the other one. But on the two line,

581
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you've got Florida and Alabama. It's like that's the elite

582
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.160
<v Speaker 2>of the conference. And then after that you've got a

583
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:48.640
<v Speaker 2>different tier and that that features the likes of Missouri,

584
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky and I guess A and M and Ole Miss.

585
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:58.880
<v Speaker 2>But those teams, I mean, I don't again, I think

586
00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 2>A and M and Old Miss. The teams that are

587
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.200
<v Speaker 2>ben like they're twenty A and M and Ole Miss

588
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:07.359
<v Speaker 2>are twenty and nine and nine and seven. They're clearly

589
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.240
<v Speaker 2>getting endless Quad one opportunities. Therefore their numbers are great.

590
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:13.359
<v Speaker 2>But like A and M, I don't know if they

591
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 2>have anything like in the non conference that's crazy impressive.

592
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I guess they do. A and M did beat Texas Tech,

593
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.759
<v Speaker 2>which is a valuable win, but like they they ended

594
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker 2>up getting stacking their SEC wins against the teams that

595
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 2>you know aren't very good. They did beat Missouri, and

596
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 2>again that has value. Now but like A and M

597
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.519
<v Speaker 2>right now is nine and seven in the SEC, and

598
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:44.799
<v Speaker 2>their wins are against Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Oklahoma again, South Carolina, Georgia,

599
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and Arkansas. So seven of their nine are against teams

600
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 2>that like that doesn't really to me. I mean again

601
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the number is a quad one, but like that doesn't

602
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 2>really do much. And then I guess technically to get

603
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, the other two that have value. They do

604
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 2>have the win against Ole miss and they have the

605
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>win against Missouri, which again has value. So I'm not

606
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>saying these teams like shouldn't be in the tournament, but

607
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:12.720
<v Speaker 2>like you could seed A and M it like a

608
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 2>seven or an eight, and I wouldn't have an issue

609
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:20.119
<v Speaker 2>with it. So the teams that are that are that

610
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.880
<v Speaker 2>are you know, bubbleish, but probably in that's when you

611
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>get to Mississippi State, Van Dy and then I guess

612
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Georgia and Arkansas. And what hurts some of these teams

613
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.519
<v Speaker 2>is that like in previous years, it shouldn't it shouldn't matter,

614
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.119
<v Speaker 2>but it does. Like the Mountain West at times has

615
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 2>gotten more teams in because they were given I guess,

616
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:43.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, the benefit of the doubt. But the Mountain

617
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>West never wins when they get to the tournament. San

618
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Diego State made it all the way to the title game,

619
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:49.920
<v Speaker 2>but other than that, you've had the Boise's get in.

620
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Colorado States had had some good seasons where they look

621
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 2>like a dangerous team Nevada, but like they never do anything.

622
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.039
<v Speaker 2>And I think unfortunately, even though those teams, you know,

623
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 2>this current group that has nothing to do with them

624
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.200
<v Speaker 2>will probably be, you know, be held accountable for it.

625
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, So real quick, the uh this bracketology is

626
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 2>one I wanted to take a look at because it's

627
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:16.319
<v Speaker 2>it's it's not only a legitimate update, a recent update,

628
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 2>but it also has a simulation features. So Evanmaia dot

629
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:23.359
<v Speaker 2>com has bracket sims included in his website, and he

630
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>has Louisville getting in as a seven seed against ten

631
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:32.000
<v Speaker 2>seeds San Diego State, and he simulated the entire tournament.

632
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 2>And he has Auburn losing the Texas Tech in the

633
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.920
<v Speaker 2>national championship game. His final four is Auburn Houston, Iowa

634
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.240
<v Speaker 2>stayed in Texas Tech. But he has Louisville going to

635
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the Sweet sixteen beating Tennessee as a two seed. And again,

636
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 2>this is a simulation from you know, his formula. I

637
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know how many times he does it, but basically

638
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. You know, if you go to your

639
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 2>video game and simulated.

640
00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess.

641
00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 2>So it doesn't mean anything. But if Lowell makes a

642
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Sweet sixteen, I mean, I hope they go further than that,

643
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's kind of where I'm at. I think getting

644
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:07.839
<v Speaker 2>there is gonna be gonna be tough. I think they can.

645
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a realistic goal. If they don't get there,

646
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna say it was a failed season. Wrong

647
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 2>wrong music, who stuck another segment?

648
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Duh?

649
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I knew that.

650
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:25.719
<v Speaker 2>And then Kentucky he's got them as a as a

651
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 2>three seed and they lose to Kansas in the second

652
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 2>round as a sixth seed because Kansas, Yeah, that would

653
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.159
<v Speaker 2>be see that, That's that would be tricky. Like whoever

654
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>gets Kansas or a Yukon Kansas is a six or

655
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>like Yukon is an eight. I mean, there's been enough

656
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.360
<v Speaker 2>proof this year those teams are not what they typically are,

657
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:45.800
<v Speaker 2>and they're clearly beatable because it's happening. But I also

658
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.079
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't want to I wouldn't want to be in the

659
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:50.559
<v Speaker 2>second round seeing a six seed Bill self or an

660
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>eight seed Dan Hurley. All right, quick break, will come

661
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:55.480
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side. Final segment. Stick with us

676
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 2>countless men in the Louisville area for over ten years now,

677
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of places pop up and claim to

678
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:42.480
<v Speaker 2>be able to do the things that they do, but

679
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>they don't stick around because they can't compete with the

<v Speaker 2>You got anything in line the night to wager on

694
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:27.159
<v Speaker 2>my man?

695
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.880
<v Speaker 3>I haven't really looked at my sheets yet, but I

696
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.320
<v Speaker 3>do have ten dollars in the DraftKings account.

697
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:38.599
<v Speaker 2>I am going to go with South Carolina money line

698
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:42.599
<v Speaker 2>over Georgia. Okay, and I think that I think that

699
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.719
<v Speaker 2>I think that puts Georgia on the outside looking in

700
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:48.239
<v Speaker 2>of the tournament. South Carolina's got some momentum. They did

701
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:50.800
<v Speaker 2>beat cal in Arkansas on Saturday, and I just think

702
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:52.800
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna be able to ride some momentum. And George's

703
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.320
<v Speaker 2>only favored by one, So I'm gonna go ahead and take

704
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:58.719
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina money line. Yeah. I also I also like

705
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.639
<v Speaker 2>like Carolina minus eight and a half. I just think

706
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:05.159
<v Speaker 2>that they're they are playing better basketball. And Virginia Tech,

707
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Louisville nearly lost to him and that was

708
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:09.880
<v Speaker 2>not good. That was yikes. But also like I watch

709
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Virginia Tech and they're not good. Uh, And then I

710
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I kind of feel like fading Miami against

711
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech because it's Miami plus nine and a half

712
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like taking my or taking Georgia Tech

713
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.480
<v Speaker 2>minus nine and a half because Miami is basically dead already.

714
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:28.719
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that's a lot of points. That's a

715
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of points.

716
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah for a bad team to cover, Yeah, it really is.

717
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Nine is a lot.

718
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:35.199
<v Speaker 2>But do you have any thoughts? Real quick? I got

719
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to get it Indiana, Oregon. It's Oregon minus six and

720
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>a half. This game is in on the West coast.

721
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like Oregon to cover here most teams,

722
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.199
<v Speaker 2>most teams would go west. Seven it's six and a half.

723
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Most teams who go west haven't done well.

724
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:51.119
<v Speaker 3>Give me Oregon minus seven and a half. Oh yeah,

725
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I like it all right, because that's a long trip.

726
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:54.800
<v Speaker 2>You know. That's right. We're out of time. We're back

727
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.079
<v Speaker 2>at it tomorrow for a game day. Louisville and cal
