Look, 15 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.079 big game last night, right, I think they I thought, 16 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.840 just review, real quick review, Jay, they. 17 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.959 Played pretty well, they played really well. Here here's and 18 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.560 here's the thing is that what you know, my analysis 19 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.799 of my post came analysis was that this was a 20 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.760 game where you know, at halftime, Arizona's up eight. I 21 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.480 think at halftime you know they're shoot they're starting to 22 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.480 shoot the lights out. And things are and you're trying 23 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.799 your bill self, and I'm going, what is he picked 24 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.879 to stop? Because everybody was everybody was doing something right, 25 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.879 you know, everybody was in on it all the way 26 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.439 from kJ making kJ Lewis making. 27 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.040 A three pointer and stuff. Everybody was in on it. 28 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.040 And if your bill self and you're trying to figure 29 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.239 out what to do in the second half, you really 30 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:50.920 don't have you really had nowhere to go. 31 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.480 But he did have he did. They came back the lead, 32 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.920 and they Dickinson kind of just fell apart. I had 33 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.120 a couple of bunnies that he made. 34 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.920 He did and then uh, what's the name, Dwan? What's 35 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.240 uh Dwan? Harrison? The other guy, Zeke Mayo just thought, 36 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.479 you know, at the in the last ten minutes, couldn't 37 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.719 you know, couldn't make any more baskets. And but yet 38 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.599 and Arizona just kept doing what Arizona did. They just 39 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.560 stuck to whatever their plan was. You know, I talked about, 40 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.000 you know, you know, on the thread that I was 41 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.080 with some guys. I just said, first of all, Henry's 42 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.599 having the game of his life defensively and offensively. I 43 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.599 know he didn't have a season Hines a current Hindes scoring, 44 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.879 but he put up nineteen points. Then I got to 45 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.199 the end of the game and I looked at the 46 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.280 box room and said, when did kJ Lewis get nine points? 47 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.479 He was aggressive. He was not taking shots, which he 48 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.199 doesn't need to, but when he's aggressive to the basket. 49 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:45.719 Yeah. 50 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:45.879 No. 51 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.400 The thing about it, it was sprinkled with everybody, one of 52 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.560 those sprinkled games, and Henry was all you needs from 53 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.000 Henry's exactly what he got. Yeah, even from Caleb. Yeah, 54 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.120 he didn't screw it up. 55 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.199 Right, he didn't. Yeah, he didn't try to do too much. 56 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.000 He did what worked he got you know, Yeah, he 57 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.479 got eleven points. He had he hit a three, he 58 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.599 had a very key three, as I recall, it was 59 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.919 an important three. And then he just did other things. 60 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.919 He had a couple of steals, he had six assists, 61 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.400 and and and things, and you know, uh, you know. 62 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.560 I made this the comment that if this is who 63 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.759 they are, well that's gonna be hard to be. That's 64 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.599 the whole thing. If we don't know. Yeah, but I 65 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.240 mean if they can keep playing just like they played 66 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.000 last night, and by that I mean everybody in on it, 67 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.400 they'll be They're heard out. 68 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:35.960 Now I'm not. 69 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.280 Saying they can beat you know that that they'll well, 70 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:39.680 but they're gonna be a heart out. 71 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.240 We'll find out tonight with another I think a better 72 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.280 team than he Bill. This is two years in row 73 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.199 where it almost looks like the team is just like, 74 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.360 let's get the hell out. You know, they didn't play 75 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.039 very healthy or whatever the word is, you know, dignifies 76 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.000 that the word too, they like inspired. 77 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.039 There came a time in the second half when you 78 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.159 felt like they it looked like they felt they were 79 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.360 beating their heads on the wall and nothing was happening. 80 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:08.719 They weren't closing the gap. 81 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.520 After they had they had the lead, Arizona got it 82 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.439 back and went up by seven pretty quickly after that, 83 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.800 and and it looked like the cansit got you know, 84 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.800 we've done all this stuff, you know, we're you know, 85 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.360 we're draining all these threes and and we're still losing. 86 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.279 And then you felt they got they looked a little discouraged. 87 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.399 So so now they move on to play Texas Tech 88 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.399 and we'll take some calls on this game tonight. We're 89 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.319 going to have Texas Tech beat writer or one of 90 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.120 our usual Nathan Grice Nathan Greis. He's at the at 91 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.360 the event, so he'll talk to us at four fifteen. 92 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.360 I don't know if you think this, because I know 93 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.399 you're busy working. Do this game. To me, the game 94 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.759 of the year that I can remember very well is 95 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.240 the Texas Tech game. When they played here, Arizona played 96 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.240 out of their mind physically. Henry, were you at the. 97 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.279 Game, Yeah, I thought that was their best performance. 98 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.240 Yeah, because they had to play Toll, they had to 99 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:58.879 play They showed up and played Toll. 100 00:04:59.079 --> 00:04:59.240 Right. 101 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.079 How many times have you said that in your lifetime? 102 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.240 But in Arizona we said it again last night, right, 103 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.439 that they were that they were really tough, and and 104 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.639 that's you know, that's what struck me is you know 105 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.680 this is this was a game that if you're an 106 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.199 Arizona fan, you've experienced this game a lot of you know, 107 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.879 a lot a lot, whether in football or basketball, and 108 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.519 Arizona almost always loses, right a game where it's in 109 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.560 the spotlight, right they you know, they're it's a national game, 110 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.040 it's a bit, it's a conference, it's Kansas, it's in 111 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.600 a hostile environment. It was all these things that have 112 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.319 always added up to a loss for Arizona, and they 113 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.519 won this game, and it was because they were tough. 114 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:41.920 Steve. 115 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.319 So let me let me say this to given what 116 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.600 you know in your history and my history covering the team, 117 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.800 I said yesterday before the game that they were going 118 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.879 to win the game because it's hard to beat Arizona twice, 119 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.959 especially back to back. Right, Yeah, but Arizona historically shows 120 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.120 up when they have to. Last night, they had to. 121 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.720 They had just to kind of to prove that they're 122 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.519 still around. Tonight tonight, they don't have to, but they 123 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.480 might if they win this game. They might have to, 124 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.800 if they might against Houston. But you know what I'm saying, 125 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.800 they find everyone's always found a way until they find 126 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:14.600 a better team. 127 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.319 Right, I mean they they I don't know. To me, 128 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.800 the reason they won that game was just because of that, 129 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.040 right they just said, you know, you know, we we've 130 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.480 got something, Warriors go. 131 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.839 We've got a lot to prove, right right still still, yeah, 132 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.560 we got a call real quick below you're on the 133 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.360 air and one the ball. Who's this is Brian? How's 134 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.279 it going, Brian? Hey, your buddy Jay's I know, I know. 135 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.879 Jay's on vacation again. Let's be spring breaks. 136 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.000 He's got no flip fups on what's going on. 137 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.160 Brian, Well, that was a great game last. 138 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.560 Night, you know, But I think the hardest part is 139 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.319 we haven't seen it such a long time, and they 140 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.759 do this two games in a row. 141 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.720 Yeah, let me ask both of you guys. So you're 142 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.519 watching the game and they had a ten point lead, 143 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.279 twelve point lead midway through the first half. Are you thinking, Okay, 144 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.959 when's the collapse going to happen? 145 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:05.480 No? 146 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.759 I wasn't. I was thinking. I was thinking a collapse. 147 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.120 I thought I was sure Kansas was going to come back. Okay, 148 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.720 and they did because they're Kansas, right. Okay, what about you, Brian? 149 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:18.959 Yeah, I'm the same way. 150 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.519 And you know, you get the. 151 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.680 Lead, the big lead early. 152 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.040 In the game, and we're just han't had a hard 153 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.839 time most of the year putting people away. Yeah, no 154 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.279 matter what part of the game, it is. 155 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.920 Right, that's why. 156 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.800 And this team is like. 157 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.079 Jacqueline Hyde, I mean, a great one game. 158 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.680 And we don't know what's gonna shoow. That's what makes 159 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:35.920 it so. 160 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.759 I get so much fun this year. We have no 161 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.000 idea what's going to happen tonight. 162 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.040 But but what I saw was that when Kansas came 163 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.920 back at them as we as I thought they would, 164 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.639 right as I thought they would, it you know that 165 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.079 that they just said no. 166 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.600 Well, well let me ask you, because Brian, you said 167 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.720 the word fun, and that's what makes this season fun. 168 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.399 Some people are saying frustrating, that's why it makes this 169 00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.279 season frustrating. 170 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.720 Well, it's a whole different league. I mean, it's not 171 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.920 the kind of basketball we're used to the last twenty 172 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.560 five years, right, you know. I mean where you have 173 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.560 a conference where instead. 174 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.879 Of you know, three or four really tough games and 175 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.240 eight cupcakes are not really cupcakes, but teams aren't that good. 176 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.879 Where you have fourteen or fifteen really good teams. I 177 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.800 mean that can beat anybody any night, and you better 178 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.720 play your best game when you come out every night. 179 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:26.879 You're going to have a long season. 180 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.480 I made the mistake of going to social media at halftime. 181 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:34.159 Yeah, and people are going, we're soft, We're not playing well, 182 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.759 We're terrible.

I mean, even games we've watched, we really haven't. 198 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.080 Maybe a one or two we've played really bad and 199 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.679 got blown out, but otherwise we. 200 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.639 Have been in most every game we. 201 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.840 Have played, it could have gone either way, and. 202 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.039 Even some of the wins that could have gone either way. 203 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.559 And we've had to fight, you know, just to get 204 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.159 those wins. And I think I think, you know, Tommy Lloyd, 205 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:31.679 I thought he did a good job sitting. 206 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.320 At lineup left. I thought they played well. 207 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.759 He got him ready. And I don't think people should 208 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.120 be complaining at all at all. 209 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.679 Let me let me put it this way. 210 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:45.639 In in all of Arizona's packed twelve conference tournaments, have 211 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.720 they ever played a better team in their first game 212 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:50.360 of the tournament. 213 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.919 No ever, never, no, no, not not one time. 214 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:59.000 No No. That's a good point, right, There were sixth 215 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.919 in their league. 216 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.240 That's all you need to know is that Kansas finished 217 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:09.000 sixth in the league. Kansas, not Washington State, not Oregon State, Kansas. 218 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.919 So fans have got to get used to this. 219 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.720 No's can be very very physical. 220 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.799 Arizona is seeded to lose this game to it, aren't they? 221 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.399 Well, aren't they? 222 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.720 Texas is the two seed. Arizona is a three seed. Henry, 223 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.559 what's the what's the spread? You know, Arizona one and 224 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.480 a half by seed? Arizona's supposed to lose today. 225 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:34.440 What's like half their favorite or dog? 226 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.320 Texas ticked by one and a half? 227 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.279 Just stick by what half? I'll tell you. I mean, 228 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.159 come on, the man handled them in Lubbock and there 229 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.360 was a great game here.

They'll have to be 231 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:47.279 tough again. 232 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.000 But I think they are. The question is will they 233 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.720 show it again? 234 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:51.360 Yeah? 235 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.360 Well that's the whole thing.
