Right spring training Spring football starts now, right, 39 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.000 I think the first practice is tomorrow tomorrow. 40 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:55.239 Yeah. 41 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.680 We we sat down with UH with coach Brennan here 42 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.120 for about twenty minutes and otherwise today talking about this. 43 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.640 The spring break is spring training or whatever, you know, 44 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.360 spring football. It's gonna be totally different. We'll talk about 45 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.000 that later. Uh and UH, just one take away from that, 46 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.759 what did you do? What did you take away from that? 47 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:15.560 Crist Covers talk more about it. 48 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.439 Given the season that happened last year, there's still a 49 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:20.360 lot of excitement. You can see it on his face. 50 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.879 He's working hard. I was gonna it makes me a 51 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.840 little bit more optimistic. 52 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.560 I didn't ask any questions because that's not my lane, 53 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.680 and it's just not my lane right now, or it's 54 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.599 just not my lane further. 55 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:32.039 Uh. 56 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.879 The question I wanted to ask and I didn't ask 57 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.280 any questions was does he feel any pressure in I 58 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:41.919 don't even know how to pass him? Does he feel 59 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.680 any pressure this spring to get some some steps since 60 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.719 out of it? But that's obvious, yes, right, Uh, but 61 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.280 would want that right right, So I'm gonna wait for 62 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.240 that question to come in the in the fall, because 63 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.159 that's when the pressure starts. You know, it's not already there, right, right, 64 00:02:59.159 --> 00:02:59.879 And what's you gonna say? 65 00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:01.120 The yeah? 66 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.879 But we'll wait for that to be us later because 67 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.960 to me, it's a do or die season for. 68 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.960 Him for sure, going into the second season. Failed to 69 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.240 meet expectations last season. Yeah, not a lot of expectations 70 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.039 this season, so a little bit more of a curve 71 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:16.360 to it. 72 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.919 Well, expectations from whom I think just in general, I 73 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.360 would say, I think I'm gonna leave it at that, 74 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.719 because obviously the fans they want to see wins, and 75 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.639 so does the team, the coaches, but it's it's the 76 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.520 second year, second year, but I think that the expectations 77 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.319 are coming from the a D and then fans who 78 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.199 thought they were cheated last year with a what would 79 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.439 have been a pretty good team. Right, So we'll see, 80 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.319 we'll see. I'm not gonna talk about it this spring. 81 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.439 One outside observation, not from today, is that there's been 82 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.639 a lot, in my opinion and what I've seen a 83 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.400 lot of community outreach, especially before like other sporting events 84 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.599 with Arizona Athletics, like before softball, before baseball tomorrow, they 85 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.879 have these autograph sessions, so I think maybe it's a 86 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.400 little bit of reaching out to the community and also 87 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.159 maybe just introducing who's on this team this year because 88 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.800 there was a mass exodus and the football entrance. 89 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.840 Yeah, oh, they're having a lot of those signings. Okay, 90 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.680 I thought maybe with the team. Oh really, I didn't 91 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:17.959 know that. 92 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.199 Yeah, before some of the softball games and even before 93 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.199 some of the basketball games. 94 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.079 Yeah, Forfeita and some of the other players out there. 95 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:27.920 Why do you think to. 96 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.680 Reach out to the fans kind of get them back 97 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.319 into it, into the spirit of Arizona football. 98 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.000 They also sent an email I think it was an 99 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.920 email or posted something on Facebook. Uh, season tickets. I 100 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.439 can't remember what it was, But can you contribute to 101 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.040 the player fund? The player fund, I think that has 102 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.639 a lot to do with it too. They need to 103 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.959 find ways to get these guys some more money. Good 104 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.319 luck with all that theme. 105 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.000 To the new reality. 106 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.160 Yeah, yeah, and we talked a little about that too, 107 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.000 talking about money and situations like that. 108 00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.639 So we'll move beyond. 109 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.120 But the big news, of course is Arizona a four 110 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.959 seed going to Seattle to be in the East. If 111 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.839 they get through the through the Seattle bracket, they'll get 112 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.519 to New Jersey. And good luck with the fans there 113 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.040 because it's going to be tough two weeks to get 114 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.360 to here to there, and I think if they get 115 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:17.759 to the final four, I'll be able to make that. 116 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:19.319 We'll see what happens. 117 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.000 Yeah, I'm eyeing San Antonio. I'm sure all of two 118 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.600 songs eyeing San Antonio. Yeah, so we'll see. Did it 119 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:28.199 surprise me? 120 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:28.319 No? 121 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.120 They should have been a four. They played well enough 122 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.480 to be a four. This weekend they Houston. I don't 123 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:36.360 know if you read my column. 124 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.519 Do you read me? No, shame on? No, it pops 125 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.920 up every now, it pops up. Yeah, I'll read it. 126 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.360 Yeah, Okay, So I wrote that there was no shame 127 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.480 in that gloss, not at all. They played their butts off. 128 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.160 And but I've covered this team for thirty some years, 129 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.519 directly and indirectly. Uh, anytime you tell Arizona that they're 130 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.959 not good enough, they show up. It's the it's the 131 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.439 teams like the Akrons and the teams that they think 132 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.040 they don't have to show up that they just win. 133 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.160 The Buffalo's, the Wichita States, the Presidents, the Princeton's, the 134 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:07.920 Santa Clara's, the East Tannessee States. 135 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.560 So we'll see how he gets them ready, gets them 136 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.480 ready for Friday afternoon. 137 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.360 The only thing I think most fans were disappointed by 138 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.759 were those final five minutes. 139 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.600 It just looked they looked tired. Yeah, it looked like 140 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.279 they ran out of gas. Didn't you see that game here? Yeah, 141 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:25.480 exact same game. 142 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.160 I think I think a little bit more of foul 143 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.959 trouble here in Tucson, whereas not so much in Kansas City. 144 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.439 But regardless, right, they played a great thirty five minutes. 145 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.199 Right right. 146 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.680 The unfortunate part is they played for forty right, race, 147 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:41.680 So you agreed, kind. 148 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:42.800 Yeah, I thought so. 149 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.600 I mean, you know, they they played Tech really well 150 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.720 and then they you know, getting to Houston, everybody knew 151 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:49.600 was going to be a tough matchup. Yeah, and so 152 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.439 I thought that, like you guys said, is like, they 153 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.240 played a great thirty five minutes, but it's a forty 154 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:54.839 minute game. 155 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.480 Right right, and Houston's damn good. Yeah. I think that's 156 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.600 why there was no shame to me, because damn good. 157 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:01.079 Uh. 158 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.959 And sometimes guess what, the best team wins. 159 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.639 Yeah, the better team wins on most days, it takes 160 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.199 it takes an almost perfect performance for the underdogs to win, right, 161 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.040 And it wasn't perfect for Arizona. 162 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.959 No, No, it's a couple of slip ups. There wasn't 163 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.319 maybe bad call, but it's in real time. It's you 164 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.040 can't tell if he touched the ball or didn't touch 165 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.160 the ball on the turnover and they hit their shots. 166 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.199 Again, and then it's just you don't put yourself in 167 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.519 that position to give it to the ref to decide 168 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.800 a game, and not that that call decided the game, 169 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.639 but you just can't put yourself in that position. 170 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.319 Right, right, Okay? And then the women didn't get to 171 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.160 pick to the n C doa tournament, right and that 172 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:39.920 was no big shock? 173 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.839 Now are you covering that? 174 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:42.800 Uh? 175 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.720 The the tournament, the end. No, as far as I 176 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.759 know right now, I'm not okay because Kim does Kim 177 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.279 does that? You usually Kim Okay. 178 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.759 So they're gonna play Thursday, I believe, Thursday, Thursday afternoon 179 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:54.800 here at McHale. 180 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.759 Uh the w B I E something, w B I 181 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.920 T something. Uh. They take on in state rival and 182 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.720 in state right, and they lost. That's kind they lostuff 183 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:06.759 there in the flag Staff. 184 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.800 That's kind of a shocking in state rival Northern Arizona, 185 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.600 and they got to you know, redeem themselves from that 186 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.839 loss earlier. We'll see what happens because there's kind of 187 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.959 like a lot of underlying stories there right involving the 188 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.399 idea the team the postseason. 189 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.000 I don't know if you saw, but uh, Jada Jadah 190 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.000 Williams most likely not to play, more than likely not 191 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.480 to play coach because of the injury that's been bugging 192 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.480 her all season, and it's still bugging her through the practices. 193 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.679 I didn't see that. Who reported that? I saw? 194 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.240 I saw it on X I think leave from Kim 195 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:42.000 or or I saw I saw it retweeted by Desert Swarm. 196 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:42.960 Uh. 197 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.559 That's a big that's a big blowing and it's nothing official. 198 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.960 It was more than likely, more probable, not gonna. 199 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.639 Oh, they didn't say that. Someone said it. Someone else 200 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:53.919 said it. 201 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:54.240 Not that. 202 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.159 Okay, that's a tough blow if that's the case, because 203 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.799 they obviously everybody they don't have much. No, you know, 204 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.799 they haven't had much. That's probably the problem. Well, that's 205 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.480 not probably the problem. That's a problem of what's going 206 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.799 on over there, and unfortunately for Adeo, that's just tough. 207 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:11.519 Okay. 208 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.919 So that's Thursday. Men play at four forty five on 209 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.360 Friday on True TV. People already complaining, what the hell's 210 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.320 True TV?

If you go find 214 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.200 if you want to watch, you gotta find it. 215 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.480 Yeah, I mean most fans like going to the dirt 216 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.879 bags and the general bends and uh so, I'm sure 217 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:38.960 a TV a TV monitor in too. 218 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.440 Someone. 219 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.159 Yeah, you might have to go get some wings. And 220 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:42.759 what's a game with a bunch of people, But that's 221 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.519 be with a bunch of people. I'm not gonna say 222 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.480 that their fourteen point favorite. I'm not gonna say it's 223 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.440 gonna be easy because I've been here too many times. 224 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.559 Nothing's ever easy in the tournament. He's just gotta be ready. 225 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.480 We'll see wi, Sha'll see. It is one game at 226 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.879 a time, one game left. You sound like a coach 227 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.960 do I one game at a time, blah blah blah. 228 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.279 Yeah, it's the reality, but it's true. It's the reality. 229 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.840 It's true. You just gotta say it differently. There's no 230 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.840 way to say it differently. 231 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.720 Okay, cool, If you guys want to call five two 232 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.000 oh four, one, six, seventy four forty, we have a 233 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.039 couple of minutes here. We're gonna have Reggie Geary here 234 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.600 in the first hour at three seventeen obviously former you 235 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.759 a football basketball player and analysts now and you know 236 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.879 a guy who's in the system at McHale. And then 237 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.679 at four to seventeen more basketball with Richster Brad Alice 238 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:40.480 from Wildcat. Oh, I don't want to say a thirty. 239 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:41.679 I'll find it. 240 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:45.200 So well. 241 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.519 You'll obviously have a lot of days in between now 242 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.399 and Friday to talk about the acting game. Just my 243 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.399 my first question to you is what's something that is 244 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.559 going to hinder Arizona come Friday? 245 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.879 What something that could get in the way stopping the 246 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.360 three point shot? They'll probably take enough. They'll probably shoot 247 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.759 what twenty five to thirty right, accron and if they 248 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.639 hit ten fifteen, I could spell disaster for Arizona. 249 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.679 They haven't. 250 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:15.679 Let me ask you something, okay, both to you guys, 251 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.440 who is Arizona? This is this basketball team? Who is Arizona? 252 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.039 I'd say gritty they play, I mean that defense. 253 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.240 Sometimes it's stifling, man, Okay, So sometimes so they're sometimes gritty, Okay, yeah. 254 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.840 I think that's a perfect word right there. Sometimes sometimes 255 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.960 they are a great team. Sometimes they're bottom tier team, right. 256 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.720 Sometimes they're a scrappy team, and sometimes they get guessed 257 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:39.960 in the final five minutes. 258 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.960 So there is that. So the reason I ask is 259 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.320 that's what they're That's what they are? You say it, right? 260 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:46.440 What are they not. 261 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.159 A great three? Point shooting team in opinion. Okay, that's 262 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.399 one a great three point defending team. 263 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:53.960 That's two. 264 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:59.320 Consistency if you're can have to work sometimes and inconsistent 265 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.000 and inconsistent. 266 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.639 There you go. 267 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.919 There's three. So could those three things? And I know 268 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.600 people say you're always negative. I'm just telling what the 269 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.720 reality is, right, Uh, with one of those two three things, 270 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.559 and there's more, show up what happens? 271 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.799 Oh, they're out for sure. 272 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.240 Yeah, and aquin has its own issues, right, They're not 273 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.080 as talented, they're not as tall. Everyone has a lot 274 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.159 of advantages, so they have to play out of their 275 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.600 mind too, and sometimes that happens sometimes. 276 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.120 Well, ireciate it enough. 277 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.360 That that one game at a time, one game left 278 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.000 mindset means a lot more to it. Sure may mean 279 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.000 a lot more to a thirteen seed than a four seat. 280 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.960 And they don't have anything to lose at all. You've 281 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.720 ever been broke? You ever been broke? Try not to be, 282 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.120 but you've ever been broke? You're a college student, Guess 283 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:48.879 you've been broke? You know you've been I've been broke? 284 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.120 Sure you ever? 285 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:50.519 You ever? 286 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.759 You ever mess with the guy who's been broke? No, 287 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.879 I've seen them really they don't mess around. They they 288 00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.360 have nothing to lose. They they want to they want 289 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.159 to find a way to eat. They want to find 290 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.120 a way to get by, right, So what do they do. 291 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.360 They do whatever it takes, whatever it takes, whatever it takes. 292 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.679 And that's what these lower seeds do because you know, 293 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.159 and there these guys didn't show up by accident. They 294 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.240 have a pretty good record. Look at those other teams, 295 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.120 they're pretty damn good. Thirty thirty and three. Remember Florida 296 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.120 International two years ago. You're thinking, who in the hell 297 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:25.799 are these guys? When never and then they get to 298 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.000 the final four? Yeah, we never heard of them. Well, 299 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.080 because you didn't pay attention. 300 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.399 Exactly what do you know about acron I M to 301 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.679 be honest, nothing right now outside of them shooting a 302 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:38.480 lot of reason and like them to run exactly. 303 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.679 So you don't know. We don't know. Most people don't know. 304 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.240 In this Oh we could beat them, no, okay, man, 305 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:46.399 Oh maybe maybe not. 306 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:51.320 They're they're a school in the heart of a basketball town, Cleveland, 307 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.120 Ohio on a game win streak. There you go that 308 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.720 they know how to win, and they've done it for 309 00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.559 a straight games. 310 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.000 They only won the championship game by a bucket. So yeah. 311 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.600 And also, let me say this, I think people in 312 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.600 the public who mayrate a lot of them are picking 313 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:15.320 Akron to win, and not so much because Akron is good. 314 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.240 It's because it's the inability to believe in Arizona. Yep. 315 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.960 Because why they've seen this before. I've seen it before, 316 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.759 We've seen it before, We've all seen it before. 317 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.639 The reputation of them not coming through in these types 318 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:28.919 of games is very obvious. 319 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.519 Yeah, I mean I believe I don't remember the exact 320 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:36.720 stat but Arizona is the worst, yeah, worst when it 321 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.639 comes to losing or I get maybe the best to 322 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.600 losing to lower tier seeds. 323 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.440 And you say the worst because they are the worst. 324 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.559 I mean it's last year. It came out again, right. 325 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.360 They lose when they're the lower seed. They lose regularly 326 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.240 to higher seeds yep. Yeah, and they're the ones that 327 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.480 have done that the most in all these tournaments. 328 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.120 From Loot to Sean to Tommy. Now, it's not a trend. 329 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:02.720 You want to keep them. 330 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.799 And I think what else is scary about it too, 331 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.720 is you've also seen that kind of inconsistency to close 332 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.679 out games. 333 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:10.919 Very much so and you know that very much. 334 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.960 So that's for right, that's four and and and sometimes 335 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.080 you have habits, right, ray you have. You probably came 336 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.440 here the same way you've been coming here to work, 337 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:25.279 Uh you senor you with your name, goody T shoes, 338 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.200 gatty tissues, you you've come here. We all have tendencies, right, 339 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.080 we do the same things, those four things. That's kind 340 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.639 of who they are. You don't just so, okay, we're 341 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.240 gonna forget that. No, if I walk with the limp, 342 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.200 guess what I do. I walk with a limp. I'm 343 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.879 not gonna change that. And that's who they are. What 344 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.039 are these four And there's probably more could bite you 345 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.120 if not two or three, and then with two or 346 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.159 three get you, you're in trouble exactly. 347 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.000 Arizona limps to finish the finish line most games, and 348 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.639 sometimes the team pushes you down and you lose that. 349 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.879 Well, just recently, I mean there were three five Hilosophy 350 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.000 I think there was. And when they had those ten 351 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.200 point leads twelve point leads, did you kind of think, Okay, 352 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.360 this one's gonna be enough and are they gonna hold on? 353 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:09.600 You know what? 354 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.799 Are they gonna hold on? And because what you've seen 355 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.440 it before, right, it's it been the trend of the season. Okay, hey, 356 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.120 we're going over.
