I didn't do 10 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.759 a lot of anything. Well that's why, you know, I 11 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.000 just I just stayed away. Didn't didn't touch the Utah 12 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.920 game because I thought, you know, well I can't anyways. 13 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.439 But I mean the issue, you know, we talked about it, 14 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.719 and I thought if if if I was a gambling 15 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.799 guy and was, you know, inclined to put something on 16 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.240 Arizona that game, I wouldn't have given that many points. 17 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.719 Stayed with fifteen and a half with the ASU game. 18 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.600 Oh yeah yeah. And then, uh, you know, I haven't 19 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.319 done much of anything. I've been busy with other stuff 20 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.879 this week. So I've actually watched a lot more college 21 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.640 basketball than I do though, just because trying to see 22 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.239 what's what you know, what do you find there's it's crazy, 23 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.879 it's nuts, Steve. You know, it's not Kansas isn't any good. 24 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.359 You know, North Carolina is not really that good. 25 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.840 And the teams that you thought that were pretty good 26 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.920 taking it badly. 27 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.560 You know, and out of I mean, look, Duke is 28 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.879 really good and we've seen them in Cooper Flag and 29 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:34.159 all that. 30 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.920 But I just don't know how anybody's going to roll 31 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.319 over Houston. I'm not. I look at Houston and I go, 32 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.599 those guys are just mean. 33 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.000 No, no, you're you're right, and they were being astray 34 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.159 and they got unlucky with their best year getting done. 35 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.400 But yeah, yeah, I went with I already said people 36 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.599 what I've done, told people what I've done. I bet 37 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.879 fifty on Florida got and they could be the number 38 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.159 one seed overall. Yeah, given what's happened. 39 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.200 Yeah, you've seen them a couple of times and they 40 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.680 look but you know, and maybe it's maybe it's you know, 41 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.199 the the the bias towards the league that Arizona is in, 42 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.360 and you see Houston and I've seen them more than 43 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.719 I've seen the some of the other top teams. But 44 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.240 you know, I watched that entire Kansas Houston game, and 45 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.039 while Houston didn't really pull away from it, Kansas was 46 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.319 never going to win that Kansas. 47 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.080 Those both good games both times they played almost a favorite. 48 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.159 You guys have access to the internet for odds to 49 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.960 win it all. Yeah, okay, well we'll talk about that. 50 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.599 Because Houston's good. I like them a lot obviously, but 51 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.560 they can't score. 52 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.280 Yeah, well, they can't score, but they don't let you score. 53 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.919 Well if it's two to zero and in the final 54 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.479 two minutes. 55 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.000 But you know, I've seen Florida a couple of times, 56 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.360 but you know, Florida's you know, got be. 57 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.879 Bad the other day, vulnerable to you know, somebody seems 58 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:56.039 Auburn gotta beat. 59 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.919 Yea Auburn, you know, Yeah, I mean so I do. 60 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:00.960 I mean, I've seen Auburn a couple of times, and 61 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.759 I'm like, I still think Houston is the toughest team 62 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:05.879 out there. But you're right, you know in a game 63 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.479 that if somebody puts some points on the board against them, 64 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:09.919 they're gonna have a tough time beating them. But I 65 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.159 just and and I don't see I don't see Arizona 66 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.080 being any of those teams. 67 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.479 No, no apples to apples, no did you find it? Yep, okay, 68 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.560 So give me the top top our odds to win it. 69 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.319 All they've got. 70 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.439 By the way, this is Henry and we have Matt 71 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.240 and today. Matt, we found you on the old milk carton. 72 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:27.479 We found you. 73 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.000 This is on ESPN. 74 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.000 They got Duke plus three thirty, Auburn plus three fifty. 75 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.400 Oh wow, Florida plus seven to fifty, Houston plus nine hundred. 76 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.520 Well, if you were going to bet Jay, I'd take 77 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.800 the nine to one. Yeah, I put Duke. There's Duke's 78 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.840 a favorite. Now, Yeah, dude's plus thirty thirty. 79 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.280 I've got Arizona plus four hundred, four thousand. 80 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.800 Yeah, four thousand, that's forty one that you know. I again, 81 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.560 you know, Arizona's not built to win. To win, no, no, 82 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.599 I mean, can they get on a run and do 83 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:02.360 something stupid? 84 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:02.759 You know? 85 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.560 I mean we didn't think ninety seventeen was going to 86 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.919 do anything right. Well, so they can't. I just want 87 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:08.280 to say that. 88 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.240 But you know, if you say, if you're going to 89 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.199 try and predict one that's likely to win this thing, 90 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.240 Arizona's not in that picture. 91 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:17.000 To me. 92 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.519 I think if they get to the sweet sixteen they've 93 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.480 done good and that I think that's about all you 94 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.399 can expect. I was looking at Joe Lunardi. He still 95 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.720 got them as a as a four seed. So if 96 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.839 they're seated fourth, they're seeded into the sweet sixteen, and 97 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.160 that's as far as they're supposed to go. 98 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.000 And realistically, I think we've had those odds too. I 99 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.279 think there's some odds there. We talked about that. I 100 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.600 think that was like seven and a half to one 101 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.399 to get to the sweet sixteen. Yeah, which is you know, okay, okay, possibly, 102 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.319 you know, and it'd be fun. 103 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.800 You know, I'm working in the West regionals, so it'd 104 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.319 be fun, you know, for them to be up there 105 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.600 for that. I wouldn't be you know, if they if 106 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.000 they are do make a West A Regional and they're 107 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.120 in the West Region and I'm there, I wouldn't have 108 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.800 the same feeling as I had the year they lost 109 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.120 to Xavier in the sweet sixteen and in San Jose 110 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.040 where you were. I was just pissed off at that 111 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.079 game because that team that was a Final four team 112 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.360 until a Lonzo Treer wouldn't give up the ball. So 113 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.000 this team, if it got to the sweet sixteen, I 114 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.879 think that's about all the fans can ask. 115 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.759 For this year. Yeah, tell that to the fans. Oh no, 116 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:19.680 I hear you. 117 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.879 You know, I was looking at some losers twitter feed 118 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.800 saying that this season is a failure right now, no 119 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.399 matter what happens, it's a failure because they've lost ten games. 120 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.839 He and I'm like, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute. 121 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.480 They said it's a failure. Fire him, Fire him right now. 122 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.759 And I'm like, wait a minute, I don't have a 123 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.560 clue if so he's and he was basically saying, even 124 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.319 if this team wins a national championship, Tommy's not the guy. 125 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.439 And I'm like, what are you talking about? How can 126 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.839 you say something stupid like that? 127 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:51.319 You know the internet? 128 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.879 Yes, exactly, exactly, Yes, yeah it is. 129 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.720 Somebody called my attention to that, and I said, I 130 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.720 wish you hadn't. I wish I didn't know that that 131 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.920 guy existed, right. I just didn't want to know that 132 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.279 that that that person was on the planet. But you know, 133 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.000 Sweet sixteen is about anything after the Sweet sixteen is 134 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.759 is house money? 135 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:17.240 Yeah, yeah, realistically that's what you kind of thought in December. 136 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.800 Yeah, well you're in December, you're right, So what am 137 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.399 I going to do with March? Nothing to do? And 138 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.240 you know, and they could catch hot. 139 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.319 I mean, first people are going to tell you, well, 140 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.079 ninety seven they didn't blah blah blah. 141 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.600 Well then you give me every other year. 142 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.199 And then, right, I mean take of all the years 143 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.759 that they should have done something and didn't. So but 144 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.519 but you know, Steve, it's it's still been, you know, 145 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.279 really funnier. You know, you will get to the last 146 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.360 home game, you know, Tuesday night, and I you know, 147 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.120 you have all this reflection, right, you know, but just 148 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.680 thinking about that, it was a really fun season at Michaelvias. 149 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.720 Yeah, we talked about who did we have in this week? 150 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:56.800 Well I had to. 151 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.560 I think that had Blake. I think we're one of 152 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.879 those guys. I said, aren't you glad you have tickets 153 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:01.480 to these games? 154 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.199 Yeah? And so we're you were entertained. There were more 155 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.160 fun games in one in one home season than I 156 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:09.720 can remember. 157 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.920 Tell me Texas Tech, uh all of them?

Who knows is the 305 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:50.120 wrong answer? Who knows right? Because it's all personal answers, right, answers. 306 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.159 And it impacts both her and her husband, who both 307 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.480 have jobs here right now, you know, do they go 308 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.159 somewhere else as a package deal or does well, let's say, 309 00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.639 does she go to the w n b A and 310 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.799 does sell stay here as a head coach and coach 311 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.960 you know, you know, but but doesn't make a million 312 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.399 dollars a year, you know that kind of thing.
