12
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 4>what the hell did you guys do last night? I

13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 4>know where I was at the same place you guys

14
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 4>were at, or you were at the game. I was

15
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 4>at the game, yeah last night. Yeah. Uh, First, you

16
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 4>blake what you just did for the whole game because

17
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 4>you saw some people leaving them.

18
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we don't listen.

19
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 4>We stay no matter what happens, and then we wait

20
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 4>till everybody leaves because we've got my uncle, my dad,

21
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 4>so we've got I.

22
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Know these fans, and I know these fans. I'm thinking,

23
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 3>what the hell are you guys doing? Unbelievable but to

24
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 3>their to their credit or whatever, what if you were

25
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 3>ESPN the gauge of percentage to win with five seconds left,

26
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>what did you give them? What would you give them

27
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 3>to win the game? I would think you're two percent.

28
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>There's no way they're winning that game. There's no way

29
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 3>they're winning that game.

30
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, listen, five seconds now, Henry's they're down by three

31
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 4>misses a second free throw purposely of course, puss. They

32
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 4>want to pick the rebounds to put it back, and

33
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 4>so does not happen. They found the other dude and

34
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 4>by two. Right now, he hits two free throws at

35
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 4>two position, game game over. He can't, right, so he

36
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 4>hits his first one, it's his second one, it's the

37
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 4>second one second one, and all the circumstances that had

38
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 4>happened happened. There's there's a two percent chance, maybe a

39
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 4>three percent, Yes, so they win that game with.

40
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>Five seconds left.

41
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not a statician, but uh,

42
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 4>that's a very low percentage. I mean, nearly impossible at

43
00:01:59.159 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 4>that point.

44
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>And then how did you react to were you like

45
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 2>at the school guy? I went crazy?

46
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 4>I some random guy in front of him, grabbing his

47
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 4>shirt and shaking him, throwing them around and there's Iowa

48
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 4>State fans all by us.

49
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Could you they traveled?

50
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 5>Well?

51
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you believe that?

52
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 6>You know?

53
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>I was sitting next to Brian Peterson, one of my

54
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 3>regular guests, and I'm thinking, where do these guys come from?

55
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 3>And I'm thinking that have you gone to a lot

56
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>of the games? Are all the games home games?

57
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I have?

58
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Georgia, georg George, Greg Cannon, Grand Canyon. Do you

59
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 3>remember that game with fans? They had a lot of fans.

60
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>They did.

61
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they rivaled these guys, No, because they

62
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>had younger kids and they had a lot of vocals.

63
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this crowd last night from Iowa State was holy crap.

64
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 7>I know.

65
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 4>And they were sitting all around us. So I was

66
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 4>asking them the questions because I thought maybe they were

67
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 4>just snowbirds. There was, I mean a good majority of

68
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 4>them were from AIMS and they traveled out for the game.

69
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Which was fantastic because they were I would say about

70
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 3>a thousand people.

71
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, they were loud. There were good over them,

72
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>no question.

73
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 4>Because I lived in Iowa for a while, so I

74
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 4>was able to have that conversation with him. So, oh, okay,

<v Speaker 4>you talked to you talked I yeah, I was. I

76
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.159

00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 4>for two summers.

78
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, how does that sound that those conversations when you talk.

79
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>To one Yeah, let's put you want a role play

80
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>on their go ahead? Okay, so I know. I just

81
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>I asked him if the where they're from.

82
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 4>They said Aims and then I said, oh, I used

83
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 4>to live in Waterloo, and then that's pretty much.

84

<v Speaker 2>I say, how you doing? But yeah, I mean I

106
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 9>I'm sure home before you got home. But I was

107
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 9>so wound up.

108
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 6>I know, I saw two o'clock in the morning on

109
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 6>my on my clock, and then had to be up

110
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 6>at five thirty this morning.

111
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 9>So it's been a long day with a long night

112
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 9>and a long day.

113
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 10>But then how many times I watched the climp on

114
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 10>the shot.

115
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 9>I've probably seen it fifty times.

116
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Well what are you looking for?

117
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 11>You know what?

118
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 9>The explosion of sound.

119
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 6>That that's what got me more than anything, because.

120
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 10>You know, I you know, when you're sitting there with

121
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 10>two point two.

122
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 6>Seconds left and you know the other guys are shooting

123
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 6>free throws, you've lost the game. Yeah, And while nobody left,

124
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 6>the place was pretty quiet. When they brought the ball in,

125
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 6>there was a little bit of a buzz, and so

126
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 6>going from no noise.

127
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 10>To the explosion of sound that happened from the ball

128
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 10>went in, I can't remember you know that extreme, you know,

129
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 10>it's been loud in machaale before it was really loud.

130
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Last night, yeah, it was, but to go from.

131
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 10>Nothing to that was crazy. I couldn't believe the sound,

132
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 10>and I keep watching it for that.

133
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 9>I keep just listening to the sound of that.

134
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, because I don't think you would have you would

135
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 3>have been able to watch it live.

136
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>You personally, Yeah, in.

137
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 10>That instance, I do. Because there was two point two

138
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 10>seconds left.

139
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 9>So you know, normally I'm looking at.

140
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 10>At my computers, things are happening, but with two point

141
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 10>two seconds left, there's not a lot that can happen

142
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 10>in there. So I watched the play because then I

143
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 10>I'll input it after I see what okay, okay. So

144
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 10>I actually saw the shot and actually I thought we

145
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 10>had a pretty.

146
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 9>Good angle where we sat.

147
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, I know about you.

148
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 10>But it went up and I thought that's got a shot.

149
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 9>And I didn't think I didn't know it was in,

150
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 9>but I'm.

151
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 10>Like, that's got a shot to go in, and it did.

152
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, you and I on the side.

153
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 10>I did get to see it.

154
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you and me are right on the same line.

155
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm just a seat lower than you. So I felt

156
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 3>the same way. I really didn't know. Uh, I thought,

157
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 3>uh uh, there were some people leaving though. I saw them,

158
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 3>and so did Kal because he talked to that. He said,

159
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 3>he said, well, you know they left, but I we

160
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 3>still love our fans.

161
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>No.

162
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 3>What I'm thinking just by visual and you you're talking sound,

163
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm taking visual. The Florida game, Uh you know that

164
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 3>did that one day. Our clients hit that shot and

165
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 3>that was the winner. I thought it was more more

166
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 3>loud and more crazy because just it was the game winner,

167
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 3>not a game tire. Yeah, but and that in that one, Steve,

168
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 3>you remember, the noise was it was about what, you know,

169
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.439
<v Speaker 3>a couple of minutes of just total noise as eresone

170
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 3>who came back, you know to win that game.

171
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 9>It was never quiet in that period of time. You

172
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 9>were just loud and it stayed loud.

173
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're right, You're right this time. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

174
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 3>You so last that was like a build up. The

175
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 3>other night it was or the other game was just

176
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 3>a continuous anxious, anxious, anxious maybe we're going to pull

177
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 3>this off.

178
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

179
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 6>You know, I've been sitting here really since last night

180
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.279
<v Speaker 6>trying to think of Okay, you know, I've been going

181
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 6>to games in MacHale for fifty years. You know, since

182
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 6>I was in high school and trying to think of, Okay,

183
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 6>which games did I see have I witnessed that were

184
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 6>either better or in the same neighborhood as that game

185
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 6>last night?

186
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 9>And I don't think I can come up with more

187
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 9>than three or four.

188
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and and you know, and when you take in

189
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 10>you got to take into consideration a.

190
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 6>Lot of things, like you know, I you know, I

191
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 6>was going through lists of you know, top moments of machail.

192
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 6>You know, they talk about Sean Elliott breaking the scoring record,

193
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, uh, the the uh, the Derek Williams block

194
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 6>against Washington, stuff like that.

195
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 9>For there were moments, but.

196
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 6>This game from start to finish was an incredible game.

197
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 9>We were talking about what.

198
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.800
<v Speaker 10>Incredible game and you know, when they're going to shoot

199
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 10>those free throws the two point two seconds, were like, uh,

200
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 10>this was such a good game.

201
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 9>You sure hate this. Here is on the loop.

202
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, they did it.

203
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.399
<v Speaker 3>I asked Blake here what he thought the percentage was

204
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.240
<v Speaker 3>when uh, when Henry went to the to the line,

205
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 3>what would you have given him?

206
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I said two or three percent?

207
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, No more than that, I mean how many Okay,

208
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 10>the percentage you give him is how many.

209
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 6>Times in a hundred does he make that shot? And

210
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 6>I'm talking about Lloyd from catching the pass and shooting

211
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:47.679
<v Speaker 6>him on the run with a guy in his face.

212
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 10>How many times out of one hundred is he going

213
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 10>to make that?

214
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 9>Maybe twice? Oh, you know, you're talking about a two

215
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 9>percent shot.

216
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>To hit that.

217
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>And you know who's the funny thing. That's what I thought,

218
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 3>who's the funny thing? Blake and Jay?

219
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

220
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 2>He's known to be a good shooter.

221
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, he couldn't hit a twenty two footer to save

222
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 3>his life, but he hit a fifty five footer to

223
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 3>continuous life.

224
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean he had three wide open looks before that.

225
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 4>So I mean you're looking in one of his worst

226
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 4>games of the year to turn into arguably his best

227
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 4>game of the year in a span of five minutes

228
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 4>and two seconds, right right, Sorry, Jake?

229
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Well, he was a topic. He was a topic

230
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 6>of conversation among us the stat crew through the whole.

231
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 9>Game and just saying, you know what, the fans think that.

232
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 6>Caleb Love is a great shooter, and they get mad

233
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 6>when she doesn't shoot great.

234
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 9>He's not a great shooter. He's what a thirty thirty

235
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 9>one percent three point shooter.

236
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Is this year.

237
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 8>That's what he is.

238
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and to expect more than that from him after

239
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 6>five years in college basketball, it's crazy.

240
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 10>And these people who are upset that he doesn't shoot better,

241
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 10>he shoots the way he's always shot.

242
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, not he was terrible. Yeah, he was

243
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>one for ten at a time. Yeah, he won for

244
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>tenants of yeah, and then he got fired.

245
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 1>You know.

246
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 10>And yeah, we were talking during the game, during the

247
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 10>earlier in the game when you.

248
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 9>Know it was a dog fight. I mean, it was

249
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 9>a great game from start to finish that you know,

250
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 9>nobody took charge of the game.

251
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 6>You had the sixteen to nothing arison a run, but

252
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 6>you know, Iowa State immediately turned that around on him

253
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 6>at the end of the second first half and started

254
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:21.919
<v Speaker 6>the second half and he raced that.

255
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 9>It was a great game from start to finish.

256
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.720
<v Speaker 10>It was two really good teams just going at it.

257
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 6>You know, just a dogfight of a game. And you

258
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 6>know in the first effort thing that Caleb love or

259
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 6>or del orso needs to have a great game if

260
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 6>they're going to win this game, and neither was having

261
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 6>a great game all the way.

262
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 10>To the are S.

263
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 9>Apparently they played in the second half because.

264
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 10>He just couldn't he couldn't you know, he could handle

265
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 10>the speed of the of the defense.

266
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, I wanted to do historically.

267
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 10>Historically see historically this is you know, I don't know

268
00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 10>how many hundreds.

269
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 9>Of games I've been to historically. This is right now.

270
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 6>I put it, you know, top five, top five games.

271
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 6>You know. I think of you know, I think of

272
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 6>the UCLA game in seventy nine Fred Stoden's team to

273
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 6>beat Ucla.

274
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 9>I think of the mcclutch shot. Right again, that was

275
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 9>an Oregon State team.

276
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 6>That was when Oregon State was v team in the

277
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.679
<v Speaker 6>in the Pac twelve back ten. Arizona was just trying

278
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 6>to establish it stuff.

279
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 9>I was at that game as a fan.

280
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.080
<v Speaker 6>That was an incredible game, you know, I think of

281
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 6>the There's two UCLA games that come to mind.

282
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.639
<v Speaker 9>The one where ling Stardom hit a.

283
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 6>Three pointer, you know, right, it just walked up from

284
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 6>about eighty five feet and hit a three pointer at

285
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.240
<v Speaker 6>what maybe.

286
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 10>Thirty feet a three pointer. And then there was another

287
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 10>UCLA game. I think Arizona was down eighteen points in

288
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.519
<v Speaker 10>the second half against UCLA. Yes, I think I think

289
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 10>I'm changing fory was on that team. I can't I

290
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 10>couldn't figure out what year that was, and they came

291
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 10>back and won that game.

292
00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 3>It was nineteen twenty twenty two, because I wouldn't no, yeah, yeah, yeah,

293
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 3>twenty twelve two or two O two o two.

294
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 6>OK, yeah, because I remember I just remember Chandy Fry,

295
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.360
<v Speaker 6>you know he hit the gold ahead basket in that game.

296
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So those and then and then those that game.

297
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 10>I think one that you'll remember the two two overtime ninety.

298
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 9>One Arizona Duke game.

299
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:24.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah right, Matt Mulebox shaves the ball, they you know,

300
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 6>you know, get a basket, you know all that stuff.

301
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 10>Those are the only games I could think of that

302
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.840
<v Speaker 10>even come close now, that Florida game.

303
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

304
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 10>But when you add in the meaning of that game

305
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 10>versus the meaning of these other.

306
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 6>Games, you know that were conference games and and whatnot,

307
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:42.159
<v Speaker 6>I think.

308
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.639
<v Speaker 10>It's just a notch below. This was such a big

309
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 10>game last night.

310
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 3>You forgot the Stanford game Lootonah when.

311
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>They stormed the court, they stormed the court, when.

312
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, they stormed the court. That again, a meaningful game,

313
00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 10>But you know that was at a time that when

314
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.360
<v Speaker 10>you didn't feel like Arizona should be taking.

315
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 9>Storming the corn.

316
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 10>Against anybody, especially Stanford, right, I mean Stanford was.

317
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 9>Good, they were they number two and number two at

318
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 9>the time or something like that country.

319
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 10>But but Arizona was that level of you know, of

320
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 10>team and yeah, I guess you could throw that one

321
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 10>in there, but this is this is the neighborhood that

322
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 10>this game last night was in, you know, after the

323
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 10>game was in there, trying to think of historically, where

324
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 10>does this game set and it's it's up in that.

325
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 9>Up in that realm.

326
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's one of my top five,

327
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 3>no questions, because I started in ninety one. You talked

328
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 3>about the Duke games and I wasn't here from a clutch,

329
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 3>but all those games, the Duke, the Duke, Yeah, you know, the.

330
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 10>The Arizona Duke came in the eighty seven eighty eight season,

331
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 10>you know, the fest of all classic game, you know.

332
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 10>But I mean maybe that's another one because the meaning

333
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 10>of that game was huge and that Arizona was about

334
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.039
<v Speaker 10>to become the number one team in the country.

335
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you know type of stuff.

336
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, get back to work.

337
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.840
<v Speaker 10>That's where I'm a man.

338
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 9>You know, it's been hard to work today because.

339
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Don't tell, don't make that public. You know the list. Okay,

340
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll see you soon, all right, man, thank you, thank you.

341
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 7>You know.

342
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.720
<v Speaker 3>One of the things, you know, because you're a player

343
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 3>and a coach, the one of the most difficult things

344
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:25.039
<v Speaker 3>to do after an emotional win. Let's keep them steady

345
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 3>for the next game. No matter who you play, well

346
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 3>in this case, it's your rival.

347
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

348
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 4>I think that the one advantage that they have right

349
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 4>now is it's it's not a quick turnaround right Saturday,

350
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.519
<v Speaker 4>because there's going to be a hangover effect. No sure

351
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 4>what I mean. I know we're talking about, you know,

352
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.799
<v Speaker 4>all time history, great games. We're talking about, you know.

353
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.559
<v Speaker 4>I was at the Michigan game, the Duke game. Yeah,

354
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, those were unbelievable. I mean blue blue blood.

355
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>At that time.

356
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 4>This is somewhat of a blue blood, but the grind

357
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 4>on defense on both sides last year it was fantastic.

358
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 4>I was unbelieve I don't know if I've seen it

359
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 4>better defensive team at home that we've played against or

360
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.440
<v Speaker 4>that we've been with them against them. Yeah, I mean,

361
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 4>they they were. They're incredible. They're an incredible defensive team.

362

<v Speaker 2>Do good? Thank you.

495
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Last night was a fantastic game. I listened to you

496
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.000
<v Speaker 3>guys coming home. What were your initial thoughts? Well, wait, wait,

497
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.680
<v Speaker 3>I've already asked the guys who've called in and in

498
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.279
<v Speaker 3>the studio with me. What do you think the percentage

499
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 3>of chances? What was the percentage of them to win

500
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 3>that game with five seconds left?

501
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:01.599
<v Speaker 8>Probably zero point three? You think it's basically over man,

502
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 8>just a full court opportunity. They didn't even call time out. Usually,

503
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 8>you know, the coach called time out and draw up

504
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 8>some master play like the Duke play where they threw

505
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 8>it down to Christian later he turned around and hit

506
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.039
<v Speaker 8>the shot, or the bad Plays play where they threw

507
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.960
<v Speaker 8>it down and when they threw it over to I

508
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.960
<v Speaker 8>think Bryce drew and he hit the three or whatnot.

509
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 8>But now, man, they just threw it in and just

510
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:26.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, let him figure out. So I basically figured

511
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 8>it was over with man, And you know, luckily Caleb

512
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 8>didn't think it was.

513
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.759
<v Speaker 3>Over right, Yeah, no question. And I'm going a little

514
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 3>more back than you're talking about. Henry's at the line

515
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 3>five seconds, they're down by three. He's gotta hit, you know,

516
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.960
<v Speaker 3>at least one. He hits one, throws the bad free

517
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 3>throw because he hopes to get a rebound.

518
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:46.160
<v Speaker 2>They don't.

519
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Then they foul and the other guy has to has

520
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.200
<v Speaker 3>to miss a free throw and he does so the circumstances,

521
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's just so many circumstances that hadn't happened happened.

522
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, man, and it just basketball man the day. Man,

523
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 8>it's just an exciting, exciting, exciting game for sure.

524
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Kelvin, this is Blake. How's it going?

525
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.880
<v Speaker 8>Oh man, it's going great.

526
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:13.720
<v Speaker 4>What I mean after last night's game just from a

527
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 4>fan perspective, and you've been there as a player as well,

528
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Like what's a hangover effect? Like how long does this

529
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.640
<v Speaker 4>stick with you and the excitement stick with you? Is

530
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:23.640
<v Speaker 4>it a twenty four hour thing? Is it a forty

531
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.759
<v Speaker 4>hour window?

532
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it longer? What is it like for you?

533
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 8>I would say a twenty four hour thing because I

534
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 8>think at the end of the day, to me, the

535
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.920
<v Speaker 8>person that I think it would affect the most is

536
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.920
<v Speaker 8>Caleb and the freshman. And you think about Caleb, he

537
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:41.799
<v Speaker 8>didn't have a great night shooting, so I think he's

538
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:43.599
<v Speaker 8>smart enough to know that, man, he got to get

539
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 8>back to work. I mean, he's an older guy. He's

540
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:47.720
<v Speaker 8>been around for a while, So I think Caleb is

541
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.640
<v Speaker 8>smart enough not to get caught up in it. He's

542
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.960
<v Speaker 8>hit a lot of big shots. He's a guy coming

543
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 8>back from being PAC twelve Player of the Year, even

544
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 8>though the way people talk about him is almost like

545
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 8>he didn't do that before, you know, so it's you know,

546
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.680
<v Speaker 8>it's it's uh. And then the freshman that we have,

547
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:06.279
<v Speaker 8>Carter Brian. I mean he's a sophomore now, he's a veteran.

548
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean his dad raised him.

549
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.759
<v Speaker 9>Right he Yeah.

550
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 10>So I think the people that we have when this

551
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:11.720
<v Speaker 10>team are gonna.

552
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 8>Be all right. kJ lewis a grinder, Jaydon Bradley. Uh,

553
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 8>you know, you just think up and down this roster.

554
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.119
<v Speaker 8>I don't see guys that are gonna have necessarily a hangover. Now.

555
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 8>What you do have to worry about is the other

556
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.319
<v Speaker 8>teams marking you on the calendar. You already Arizona. Now

557
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.599
<v Speaker 8>you upset one of the top teams in the Big twelve.

558
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:31.680
<v Speaker 8>Now they're really not gonna overlook you.

559
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question.

560
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 3>So, as I was watching the game and then I

561
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 3>gun the card and listen to you guys, you and DK.

562
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 3>I think you know Kelvin. That was a Kelvin game.

563
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 3>It was a brutal dog fight. You know, it's just

564
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 3>a dog fight. And then I'm thinking of Waka, who

565
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 3>don't you look great in as a tight end for

566
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.039
<v Speaker 3>the Dallas Cowboys.

567
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 8>Man, it if not tight end, I'll take him at

568
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:58.920
<v Speaker 8>d tackle, Okay, d tackle, I mean, because man, he

569
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 8>has some bully qu all of these about him that

570
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:03.920
<v Speaker 8>would go excellent with football.

571
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 10>A lot of guys have transitioning into football, a lot.

572
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 8>Of them at tight end. But I think he has

573
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.440
<v Speaker 8>the size, uh in athleticism to possibly be a defensive

574
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:14.839
<v Speaker 8>tackle or even maybe a defensive end man. And we

575
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:16.799
<v Speaker 8>need him in Dallas. We need all those guys that.

576
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:20.279
<v Speaker 3>We get see a lot of Dallas. But you know,

577
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.079
<v Speaker 3>the last few games, the dude has been a stud.

578
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you think the switch has been?

579
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.720
<v Speaker 10>I think this conference, man, I think that he's tailor made.

580
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 8>I think you got to give props. I've been giving

581
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 8>props to the coaching staff. Uh, you got to give

582
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:35.160
<v Speaker 8>props to the coaching staff.

583
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Man.

584
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.839
<v Speaker 8>Uh, you know, they knew that they had to get tougher.

585
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 8>They remember playing Houston, They understand the conference that they

586
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.599
<v Speaker 8>would get coming into. So it wasn't ironic to me

587
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 8>that they ended up picking up Townsend, who's physical six

588
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 8>seven to fifty of you know, you know, you pick

589
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 8>up a walk of sixty eight to eighty, right, I mean,

590
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 8>because you know, you're gonna have to bump and grinding

591
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.599
<v Speaker 8>this league with the huge students in Kansas States and

592
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.440
<v Speaker 8>Kansas and Iowa States and all the other teams in

593
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 8>this conference, You're gonna have to bang. And so they

594
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:13.039
<v Speaker 8>made that transition and brought in a couple guys. Losing

595
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:17.119
<v Speaker 8>Creevus was was was terrible because that's you know, a

596
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 8>huge presence on the block that we were going to use.

597
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.920
<v Speaker 8>And so now coaches had to really coach the team

598
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.039
<v Speaker 8>up and figure out, you know, how he was going

599
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.359
<v Speaker 8>to make things work. Man, And you know he's been

600
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 8>a musician so far. Yeah.

601
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, look, in last night we talked about Walker's

602
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:34.440
<v Speaker 4>evolution over the season. Right, he looked like he was

603
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 4>a step behind everybody at the start of the season.

604
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 4>He started catching up with these last four games. I mean,

605
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.160
<v Speaker 4>he's kind of like fire. I think, you know, you

606
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.440
<v Speaker 4>look at Tommy last night. Probably went to a walk

607
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 4>up before the game and said, listen, every rebound is yours. Yeah,

608
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 4>because no matter what or who was around him, even

609
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 4>if it was like kJ or anybody else, he wasn't

610
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 4>giving up that ball last night. And that was impressive

611
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 4>to me that he went out there and serted dominant

612
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.559
<v Speaker 4>dominance early in the game when we needed somebody to

613
00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:57.839
<v Speaker 4>do it.

614
00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I.

615
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 8>Think you need to go farther than that, man. I mean,

616
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.599
<v Speaker 8>if y'all was watching the same game I was watching,

617
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 8>I thought everybody picked it up on the defension. I thought,

618
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.119
<v Speaker 8>I mean that attitude and that usually flows over to

619
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 8>the offensive side of the court, right, And it was

620
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.960
<v Speaker 8>just a dollphight it was. I said, it was like

621
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.240
<v Speaker 8>playing at Randolph Gym, you know, in the summertime, one

622
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 8>hundred degrees hot, and all the guys over there just

623
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.319
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you know, you got fifteen minutes, whoever you

624
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 8>have the most points win I mean, these guys were

625
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 8>in a brawl, man, and it wasn't no bragging down.

626
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 8>The reps wasn't gonna save anybody. You had to win

627
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 8>this game. And I love that because that's how the tournament,

628
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 8>the NCAA tournament, when it gets down to it, that's

629
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 8>the way the game is gonna be rep So these

630
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 8>guys are getting a great audition going through this conference,

631
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 8>a practice runch as they getting ready for the tournament.

632
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.960
<v Speaker 8>But man, having a waker, it has been here. And

633
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 8>even Townsend, even though he hasn't been you know, aver

634
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 8>getting the points and stuff that people thought that, you know,

635
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 8>having a production point, why that people thought even rebound

636
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.039
<v Speaker 8>his rebound and numbers haven't been there. But he's been

637
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 8>out there as a veteran giving the minutes that if

638
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.839
<v Speaker 8>you just put Parker in all those minutes, he's gonna

639
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.680
<v Speaker 8>break down because he is still eighteen years old. So

640
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 8>he has that guy to buffer all of that for Carter.

641
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 10>After Parker for Carter, so when he comes.

642
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 8>In the game, he can just play his game.

643
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that's not exactly to your point. I'll probably

644
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 3>use some of your quotes for a story on Awaka.

645
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.400
<v Speaker 3>What that I do later this week likely, But when

646
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.240
<v Speaker 3>they were playing, I'm thinking one, they got him for

647
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.720
<v Speaker 3>a reason for this season, right, And we talked about

648
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:40.480
<v Speaker 3>this maybe two months ago. And I don't know, Kevin,

649
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.079
<v Speaker 3>if you were part of that conversation when you were

650
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 3>on left. Okay, so Arizona's in the Big twelve. We thought, oh,

651
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 3>this is perfect. They're gonna get they're gonna learn how

652
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 3>to be tough, physical when they get to March. Right.

653
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.720
<v Speaker 3>But here's the other issue. Won't they be be beat

654
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.279
<v Speaker 3>up by the time they get there? And then what

655
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:58.400
<v Speaker 3>the heck they're tired because they've been beat up in

656
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:00.200
<v Speaker 3>the conference and the tournament before.

657
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.079
<v Speaker 2>To get to the tournament, yeah, man.

658
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:05.880
<v Speaker 8>But that's what you sign up for, right, And if

659
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:08.400
<v Speaker 8>you end up winning that, you'll be immortalized.

660
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 9>That's just what it is.

661
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 8>There's no nobody feel sorry for nobody. Connecticut has done

662
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 8>it a couple of years. They were beat up, hurt guys,

663
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 8>I mean.

664
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.559
<v Speaker 10>Playing for a coach that's out of his mind, right,

665
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:22.559
<v Speaker 10>And but but you gotta suck it all in.

666
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 8>It's worth it at the end of the day to

667
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.640
<v Speaker 8>be able to call yourself a champion. If you can

668
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.640
<v Speaker 8>get through all that. You know, I got some buddies

669
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:32.119
<v Speaker 8>that were national champions, man, And remember they was coming

670
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:35.200
<v Speaker 8>off a season where they finished fifth in conference, right,

671
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:37.920
<v Speaker 8>and they went through a war in that conference because

672
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 8>everybody came after of them. We had the talent, we

673
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.960
<v Speaker 8>had the NBA guys, but it all came together in

674
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 8>that tournament because they had been through adversity. They had

675
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:48.279
<v Speaker 8>been through adversity, and they didn't want to have that

676
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 8>feeling going out of that season. So, you know, man,

677
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.160
<v Speaker 8>I think that if you can get through this conference,

678
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 8>if you can get into the tournament's you know, because

679
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.519
<v Speaker 8>the conference champion doesn't necessarily it's not it's certainly going

680
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:02.799
<v Speaker 8>to be in the final four at this conference. Right

681
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:05.599
<v Speaker 8>it could be you know, Kansas could win it or

682
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 8>Houston could win it and then Kansas and Iowa stayed

683
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:10.079
<v Speaker 8>in the final four. But but I do think two

684
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker 8>teams from this conference is going to be in the

685
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 8>final four. I do think that.

686
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:19.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, what impressed you the most last night? Because

687
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 3>there were so many things, Uh, the one they had

688
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 3>to go on sixteen zero run they did, they came back.

689
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.279
<v Speaker 2>It was just a punch for punch type of thing.

690
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:31.200
<v Speaker 8>Well, what impressed me the most, man was that they

691
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.440
<v Speaker 8>didn't back down. I mean I had said it before

692
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:36.799
<v Speaker 8>when we were known as West Coast. When I was here,

693
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.640
<v Speaker 8>we had so many California guys. Now we only have

694
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.880
<v Speaker 8>one California guys, and a lot of people may not

695
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 8>This is not the Arizona teams of the past, where

696
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.759
<v Speaker 8>we were California heavy at the at the at the

697
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 8>center and forward position right uh in the Uh for

698
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.920
<v Speaker 8>sure at the guard position. But right now this team

699
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.599
<v Speaker 8>doesn't have a starter that's from California or even the

700
00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.119
<v Speaker 8>West Coast.

701
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:05.000
<v Speaker 3>So is that Kelvin Sampson Kelvin Evan's language for day worse?

702
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Soft?

703
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:07.960
<v Speaker 8>I don't you know.

704
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker 10>Now, I came out to the West Coast thinking.

705
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 8>That, but when I got out here, I realized it

706
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:16.759
<v Speaker 8>wouldn't necessarily solve the conference called the referees. The style

707
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 8>of play was soft. Uh you know, everything was a foul.

708
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:21.240
<v Speaker 10>You couldn't touch.

709
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.960
<v Speaker 8>Anyone and it and it hurt us when we got

710
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.759
<v Speaker 8>into the tournaments and the referees was letting the physical

711
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.920
<v Speaker 8>play happen, and it's just throwing our guys off their game.

712
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.400
<v Speaker 8>So I think it was the way the rest the

713
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.319
<v Speaker 8>man I mean, I've been on the West Coast for

714
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 8>a long time and a lot I thought Miles Simon

715
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:39.559
<v Speaker 8>was soft, and he ended up being one of the toughest,

716
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 8>toughest guys I can know. I mean a lot of

717
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.119
<v Speaker 8>times people think being tough is just fighting. Now, being

718
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.720
<v Speaker 8>tough is not bagging down. Being tough is figuring out

719
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 8>a way to get it done when you can't jump

720
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:51.880
<v Speaker 8>that high or run that fast. And so I got

721
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 8>a lot of respect for a guy like Miles Simon

722
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:55.440
<v Speaker 8>because initially I didn't have it.

723
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, Well, you know a gun like that, and

724
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you're talking to one guy. Is Carter Bryant.

725
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 3>The dude what just a month or two ago, he

726
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 3>was like a little little doe, little bamby guy, baby drought. Yeah,

727
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.720
<v Speaker 3>he was just kind of learning even, you know, kind

728
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 3>of afraid. Now the dude's a demon man. He's hitting shots,

729
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:14.759
<v Speaker 3>going after stuff. You got a little chip on his

730
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:16.400
<v Speaker 3>shoulder too. Would I like to see a little bit

731
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:16.880
<v Speaker 3>of swag?

732
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

733
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:21.720
<v Speaker 10>And I said this on twelve ninety talking to DK

734
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 10>and j Doub, I said.

735
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:25.279
<v Speaker 8>You got to get a lot of that credit to

736
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:27.480
<v Speaker 8>coach Lloyd for figuring out that.

737
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 10>You know, when you recruit most.

738
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 8>Of these guys, you recruit them to what they position

739
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.519
<v Speaker 8>they project at right, and then once you get him there,

740
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.599
<v Speaker 8>you figure out what position their best at being able

741
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 8>to help the team. So I thought he did a

742
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:39.960
<v Speaker 8>great job.

743
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:41.920
<v Speaker 10>He didn't lie to the kid he recruited him.

744
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:43.839
<v Speaker 8>He let him play guard. He let him play the

745
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:47.119
<v Speaker 8>small forward kind of slash two guard position, and he

746
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 8>was handling the ball a lot, and I just felt

747
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 8>like he wasn't being that effective because you're.

748
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 10>Going against the Division one.

749
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 8>Grown men guards. You're not going against little high school

750
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 8>guys anymore. You're going against real savvy guys. And I

751
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.519
<v Speaker 8>think last if he would have had to play guard,

752
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 8>he wouldn't have had a good night either, like the

753
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.720
<v Speaker 8>rest of our guards really didn't. Right, But coach moved

754
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.119
<v Speaker 8>him to forward to the power forward spot, where now

755
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 8>he has a chance to spot up on the outside

756
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.359
<v Speaker 8>and at the free throw line and force the other

757
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 8>team's bigs to have to come out and play him

758
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:22.240
<v Speaker 8>where he actually has an advantage because he does have

759
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 8>guard skills. So you got to take your hats off

760
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 8>the coach alluding him in the staff for putting them

761
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.839
<v Speaker 8>in a spot of where he could be effective. Now.

762
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.039
<v Speaker 8>I know that their hand was forced because if Pree

763
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:36.160
<v Speaker 8>was getting injured, but regardless, they ended up making that move.

764
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.799
<v Speaker 8>And you guys have all seen the production that he's

765
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 8>been able to have because now he doesn't have to

766
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 8>play against the pressure of the Imagine if you had

767
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 8>to play against the pressure of those little guards. Did

768
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 8>you see you know how they turned over, you know

769
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.799
<v Speaker 8>Jake and Bradley last night. I mean, if he had

770
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 8>to play against that type of pressure, it would have

771
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 8>been different. But notice his three point shots were wide

772
00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 8>open because a lot of the times a walker had

773
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 8>the ball and they had to make sure they had

774
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:03.920
<v Speaker 8>a guy in the lane. Uh so a waker wouldn't

775
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.000
<v Speaker 8>drive because the waker made like two or three drives

776
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.159
<v Speaker 8>to the bucket with some little floaters and finishes at

777
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 8>the rim. So now you got a help. Now you

778
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:14.400
<v Speaker 8>have uh Carter Bryan standing over on the wing, go

779
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 8>on the corner, wide open for the knockdown three.

780
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Kevin, I think last night was the first time

781
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.880
<v Speaker 4>we've seen Brian play the three since Mo got hurt.

782
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Because there was a point where you had a walker

783
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:26.599
<v Speaker 4>Towns and end Brian on the floor and that was

784
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.840
<v Speaker 4>the first time we've seen it, I think since Mo

785
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.679
<v Speaker 4>got hurt, but you get you. It was a point

786
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:32.519
<v Speaker 4>where he's forced himself to stay on the floor. And

787
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:33.320
<v Speaker 4>that's great to see.

788
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:37.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, now, and against and and and against some of

789
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 8>these big twelve teams there are a little bigger, so

790
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.119
<v Speaker 8>you can get away with having them in there for

791
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 8>some possessions. But I thought the best team is when

792
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 8>they actually went four guards when they I mean, well

793
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.639
<v Speaker 8>it's not really four guards. Is when they had him

794
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:53.960
<v Speaker 8>at the four and then they had Townsend or Walker

795
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.320
<v Speaker 8>at the five. I thought that was, you know, our

796
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 8>stronger teams. And and I don't know if anybody noticed,

797
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 8>Coach Tomy loves to run the flow offense. Where if

798
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 8>you looked at a couple of those plays when Carter

799
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 8>Brian knocked down the shot, kJ Love called some play

800
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 8>that looked like a five that he put up in

801
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.079
<v Speaker 8>the sky with his hands and he held the guy off.

802
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 8>They set a screen. It was a screen and Pop

803
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.440
<v Speaker 8>with a waker a waka caught it and immediately threw

804
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.079
<v Speaker 8>it to Carter Brian for the knockdown three. So that

805
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:25.760
<v Speaker 8>was the design play that they had practice because coach

806
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 8>understood that once the ball go to a big, the

807
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.079
<v Speaker 8>other big has to help, so it opens up your

808
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:36.360
<v Speaker 8>other forward if he has range from the wing. And

809
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 8>that's what Carter Brian brings.

810
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

811
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:41.920
<v Speaker 3>No, good, good evaluation. One last quick question, Kevin. So

812
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.639
<v Speaker 3>we're late January. We got about six weeks left before

813
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:49.599
<v Speaker 3>the tournament. Seven weeks Your perception of this team compared

814
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.440
<v Speaker 3>to what it was maybe two months ago?

815
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.440
<v Speaker 8>Uh, you know, I personally knew it was gonna take

816
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 8>some time. I liked the schedule that they had early

817
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.239
<v Speaker 8>because they got challenged and they they didn't jump out

818
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:02.920
<v Speaker 8>and you know, beat up on a bunch.

819
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:03.559
<v Speaker 10>Of easy teams.

820
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:04.119
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

821
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:05.920
<v Speaker 10>Because this is a brand new team.

822
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.400
<v Speaker 8>It was one starter back from last year in the

823
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:11.679
<v Speaker 8>starting lineup, So I knew this team was gonna take

824
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:14.719
<v Speaker 8>some time to round out and having to play Duke U.

825
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.519
<v Speaker 8>So I think they right were I thought they would be.

826
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.159
<v Speaker 8>I thought they would play well in conference. I thought

827
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.400
<v Speaker 8>Caleb Love would be playing better than what.

828
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 10>He's doing on a consistent basis. But he continues to.

829
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:28.519
<v Speaker 8>Show, you know, glimpses of that he is that guy.

830
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.199
<v Speaker 8>So that also offers me hope that man when he

831
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 8>really get it going, when Townsend really gets it going

832
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.440
<v Speaker 8>when Vasa becomes a little more consistent. So they still

833
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 8>got a little time to to get better and that

834
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.320
<v Speaker 8>and that says a lot for a team that just

835
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:48.760
<v Speaker 8>beat the number three team in the nation, uh Iowa State.

836
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.199
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, man, I think that this team could end

837
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 8>up making a nice little run. I think they have

838
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.599
<v Speaker 8>the pieces, they have the size, uh to be able

839
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 8>to get it done. I just the backup point guard.

840
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:00.880
<v Speaker 8>kJ is still trying to figure that out a little bit.

841
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.280
<v Speaker 8>But to me, they have everything else.

842
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, no, good evaluation. Okay, Kelvin, thanks so much

843

<v Speaker 2>my new book, Lessons from Loot, it.

851
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Was a labor of love through the eyes of twenty

852
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.239
<v Speaker 3>five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight to

853
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the coach and the man who led them, competed against them,

854
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:35.639
<v Speaker 3>and inspired them twenty five chapters for his twenty five

855
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.119
<v Speaker 3>years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from lut is an

930
00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:58.880

<v Speaker 4>somebody's making you.

932
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.840

<v Speaker 4>calls me, says, get him out of the house. I

935
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:09.119
<v Speaker 4>can't stand the guy. He thinks, Uh, this is like

936
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 4>my dream come true. So when you text me yesterday

00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:41.400
<v Speaker 10>Hi, this is this is Richard Page.

952
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, Richard Page, how you're the one that called early?

953
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for calling Richard?

954
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.679
<v Speaker 3>So Richard Page is h come like my little brother

955
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:50.679
<v Speaker 3>paid in the ass, little brother, and I'm bigger brother.

956
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Richard was the SID for sports information off for sure

957
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.559
<v Speaker 3>with Loot for all those years. And we were texting

958
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:00.079
<v Speaker 3>each other late last night and he went to that

959
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:03.679
<v Speaker 3>he's in Indiana and talking about big games. Where would

960
00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:07.639
<v Speaker 3>you figure this game is perspective wise, rich with all

961
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.400
<v Speaker 3>the games that you've seen, I've seen in all the

962
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:13.880
<v Speaker 3>games that has happened, well, it's.

963
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:17.079
<v Speaker 10>Come to put it in the perspective only because I

964
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 10>was telling my wife what coincidentally.

965
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:21.320
<v Speaker 17>Was at the game last night. It's it's the biggest

966
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker 17>game in the Big twelve this year, and it's a

967
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.519
<v Speaker 17>game that Michale Center loves. It was a you know,

968
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 17>a top five opponent, and and and and a team

969
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.400
<v Speaker 17>looking to make a big market at home, and the

970
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:38.320
<v Speaker 17>McHale magic was there, so everything was was lined up

971
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:40.960
<v Speaker 17>for it to be a great game. And then it

972
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.559
<v Speaker 17>turns out to have an incredible finish at the end

973
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.239
<v Speaker 17>of regulation and you have five minutes of extra basketball

974
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:50.280
<v Speaker 17>and the Cats win and everybody goes home happy. So

975
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.000
<v Speaker 17>it's the McHale story that you've seen so many times

976
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:56.679
<v Speaker 17>before that the fans kind of live for. I mean,

977
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:58.599
<v Speaker 17>there are a couple of ones that come to mind,

978
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.800
<v Speaker 17>you know, going back through my time. You know, Salim

979
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:05.559
<v Speaker 17>hit some game winners there in two thousand and five

980
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:10.639
<v Speaker 17>and including about a thirty footer against UCLA, the comebacks

981
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:13.960
<v Speaker 17>that Cats had in two thousand and two when they

982
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:20.039
<v Speaker 17>erased big deficits to be Oregon State and UCLA. You

983
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:21.320
<v Speaker 17>and I were talking about that.

984
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.599
<v Speaker 10>Stanford game from nineteen ninety nine.

985
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:27.960
<v Speaker 17>But when I saw the way the game ended yes yesterday,

986
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.440
<v Speaker 17>the first one that came to my mind wasn't even

987
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.599
<v Speaker 17>an Arizona home game that in Michale. It was when

988
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:39.840
<v Speaker 17>Miles Simon hit that sixty seventy footer to give Loot

989
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:44.079
<v Speaker 17>his five hundred victory, you know, up in Phoenix. That's

990
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.559
<v Speaker 17>the kind of shots that it reminded me of because

991
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:48.639
<v Speaker 17>most of the ones that I remember from my time

992
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:52.920
<v Speaker 17>in Tucson, you know, you don't get sixty seventy footers

993
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.840
<v Speaker 17>at the buzzer like that very often. And what made

994
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.199
<v Speaker 17>that one interesting was it didn't decide the game.

995
00:43:58.079 --> 00:43:58.679
<v Speaker 8>It just tied it.

996
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:01.039
<v Speaker 17>So it got a chance to get a little bit

997
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:06.119
<v Speaker 17>more love of the show piece there with the way

998
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:08.480
<v Speaker 17>he sort of closed it out in overtime. So it

999
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:11.239
<v Speaker 17>was kind of a cool game for everyone and a

1000
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:12.760
<v Speaker 17>big win for the Wildcats for sure.

1001
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:17.079
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes some of these other games are buried in Stanford

1002
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Michael Wright in that crazy gym Maples and It's people

1003
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.000
<v Speaker 3>don't understand how crazy Maple's got with Arizona and how

1004
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 3>it shook. It shook and the boards of backboards shook

1005
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:28.519
<v Speaker 3>when he.

1006
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.880
<v Speaker 17>Hit that show That was the cool thing about Maples

1007
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:34.880
<v Speaker 17>was the court was the court felt like you were

1008
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:40.280
<v Speaker 17>on springs. It was designed specifically that's sort of allegedly

1009
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:45.079
<v Speaker 17>prevent knee injuries. But what it would do was the

1010
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 17>everything around it would bounce, and the baskets were connected

1011
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:51.760
<v Speaker 17>to the ceiling, so when the building would shake, the

1012
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:56.239
<v Speaker 17>rim would shake as well. And remember a story about

1013
00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:00.360
<v Speaker 17>Jason Gardner used to tell and you probably remember this.

1014
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:03.599
<v Speaker 17>He was a freshman or sophomore, and and would and

1015
00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:05.760
<v Speaker 17>went to the and went to the referees at one

1016
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:07.800
<v Speaker 17>point during one of the games, and Maples and and

1017
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.679
<v Speaker 17>and had the had him stop the crowd from bouncing

1018
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:15.000
<v Speaker 17>because it was shaking the baskets, and and and and

1019
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:17.159
<v Speaker 17>so those kind of crazy things always.

1020
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:18.360
<v Speaker 9>Happen, you know. That win.

1021
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.400
<v Speaker 10>I'll tell you the when you referenced.

1022
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:23.320
<v Speaker 17>Michael Wright hit that hit the buzzer beater. It was

1023
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:25.599
<v Speaker 17>a shot down on the low block. Gave us the

1024
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:28.159
<v Speaker 17>win at the end of the regular season in two

1025
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:30.679
<v Speaker 17>thousand and one, which was as important of a win

1026
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:34.559
<v Speaker 17>that we had down the stretch there before the tournament.

1027
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.280
<v Speaker 17>But with Stanford, all those games were back and forth

1028
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.920
<v Speaker 17>there for a while, you know, a couple of years

1029
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:41.320
<v Speaker 17>after that.

1030
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.280
<v Speaker 10>Of course, the shoe was on the other foot when

1031
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.239
<v Speaker 10>uh it was it Nick Righter if he hit it,

1032
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.400
<v Speaker 10>hit a shot and and and we will lose.

1033
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.559
<v Speaker 17>And it was either four or five. And Tiger Woods

1034
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:56.119
<v Speaker 17>was there in the whole whole nine yards, So I mean, yeah, Maple's.

1035
00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:58.719
<v Speaker 17>Maple's had it a wave just because it was two

1036
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:01.320
<v Speaker 17>great teams going back in spurts where it was always

1037
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:04.000
<v Speaker 17>going to be close, and somebody played hero at the end,

1038
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:04.559
<v Speaker 17>that's for sure.

1039
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 3>So let me we have Blake Eager here. He's there,

1040
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Richard with a WBC. So he was there at the

1041
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:10.480
<v Speaker 3>game last night. You've been to a lot of games,

1042
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:11.360
<v Speaker 3>home games for how.

1043
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Long, going back since I was twelve, so ninety four.

1044
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:17.159
<v Speaker 3>So I was gonna I was just did you and

1045
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:19.320
<v Speaker 3>and Richard brings up this point and I thought this

1046
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:23.239
<v Speaker 3>during the game too, Arizona. In last night's game, they

1047
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:25.360
<v Speaker 3>had them all the time if you had a ticket

1048
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:27.719
<v Speaker 3>back in the day, and Luke didn't shy away from

1049
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:29.920
<v Speaker 3>big games that had this feel.

1050
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.559
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, absolutely, it was an old school feel from

1051
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:36.639
<v Speaker 4>the start to the finish. It's it's hard to describe it,

1052
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:38.760
<v Speaker 4>but it's it's almost like you feel it in your bones.

1053
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:40.880
<v Speaker 4>And McHale last night that was the case.

1054
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:43.840
<v Speaker 3>And truthfully, rich because you were with Sean Miller for

1055
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:46.079
<v Speaker 3>a long time, I didn't get that feeling a lot

1056
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:46.960
<v Speaker 3>with him.

1057
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:50.800
<v Speaker 17>Well, the hard part, the hard part in you know,

1058
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:52.679
<v Speaker 17>for it to be a big game, it's got to

1059
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.360
<v Speaker 17>be a big game across the board. You know, a

1060
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:56.960
<v Speaker 17>lot of things have to fall into place. You've got

1061
00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:58.559
<v Speaker 17>to have the right opponent, you've got to have the

1062
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.360
<v Speaker 17>right ranking. You know, Zona has to be playing well.

1063
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.480
<v Speaker 17>All this stuff that goes with you know, it has

1064
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:05.360
<v Speaker 17>to happen at a time when the students are around.

1065
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.199
<v Speaker 17>All those kinds of things that fall into place, and

1066
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:11.920
<v Speaker 17>and you know, schedules change and people, you know, leagues

1067
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:13.239
<v Speaker 17>change and all kinds of stuff.

1068
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:16.159
<v Speaker 10>So I mean, it was look, a lot of us

1069
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:19.280
<v Speaker 10>tie that magic to to loud Olson.

1070
00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:21.039
<v Speaker 17>And all they went with it, and it's gonna be hard.

1071
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.159
<v Speaker 17>You know, nobody's gonna really ever measure up to that again,

1072
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:27.760
<v Speaker 17>you know what I mean. Sean won a lot of

1073
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:29.760
<v Speaker 17>games and there were a lot of big wins in

1074
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:33.280
<v Speaker 17>there as well. Uh maybe that's a credit to how

1075
00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:35.559
<v Speaker 17>good he was in hindsight, the fact that there weren't

1076
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:39.000
<v Speaker 17>very many buzzer beaters and things in that nature. You know,

1077
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:43.840
<v Speaker 17>when you think about Arizona and McHale, outside of maybe

1078
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:48.559
<v Speaker 17>mcclutch way back when, and Pete Williams doing a couple

1079
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:50.760
<v Speaker 17>of things like that, there weren't a lot of there.

1080
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.559
<v Speaker 17>There aren't a lot of games where Arizona's got to

1081
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:55.440
<v Speaker 17>sink a shot to win it. You know what I mean,

1082
00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:57.719
<v Speaker 17>that's just not the way.

1083
00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:59.000
<v Speaker 8>That's just not the way it goes.

1084
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:02.679
<v Speaker 17>And that's the credit to you know, Loot and Sean

1085
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:05.840
<v Speaker 17>and now Tommy building something and keeping it at that

1086
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.320
<v Speaker 17>pace and the and the fans showing up and putting

1087
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.800
<v Speaker 17>fifteen thousand strong in there. So it's it's still a

1088
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:13.760
<v Speaker 17>tough place to play, and that's a credit to everyone

1089
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:18.159
<v Speaker 17>in Tucson for making that something special. Yeah, because last

1090
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:20.440
<v Speaker 17>night on TV, Yeah, I didn't get a chance to

1091
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.039
<v Speaker 17>watch the whole game, but it was obviously electric and

1092
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:25.360
<v Speaker 17>like he just mentioned it, I mean, it was one

1093
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:27.199
<v Speaker 17>of those games where you knew it was going to

1094
00:48:27.239 --> 00:48:28.320
<v Speaker 17>be big and.

1095
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:32.280
<v Speaker 9>And and he's right, it is it.

1096
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:35.519
<v Speaker 17>It is Michael's one of those special places, especially when

1097
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.400
<v Speaker 17>it's a big game. There are very few places like

1098
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:40.119
<v Speaker 17>it anywhere in college basketball.

1099
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, especially with the whiteout too. Did you can you compare?

1100
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was better than Duke well, and they

1101
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.199
<v Speaker 3>lost against Duke and they were not really in it.

1102
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean you, I mean I would agree with

1103
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:50.719
<v Speaker 4>you completely on that, but it was a different feeling

1104
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:52.239
<v Speaker 4>last night. I think the reason why it was a

1105
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.400
<v Speaker 4>different feeling last night too, is that you're starting to

1106
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.000
<v Speaker 4>see this team evolve a little bit, and you're seeing

1107
00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:59.800
<v Speaker 4>that I think we can beat anybody. And maybe you

1108
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:01.920
<v Speaker 4>agree with me on that, Steve, we've had this conversation,

1109
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.039
<v Speaker 4>but I think knowing how good we've been playing in

1110
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:08.639
<v Speaker 4>the stretch that we've been playing, it's exciting to go

1111
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:10.440
<v Speaker 4>into a game like this because you know they're coming

1112
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:12.840
<v Speaker 4>into our house one of the best teams in the country.

1113
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:15.320
<v Speaker 4>If they win the national championship, I'm not surprised at all. Really,

1114
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:20.679
<v Speaker 4>I was state. I'm sorry, Yeah, Iowa state. You disagree

1115
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:24.679
<v Speaker 4>with me on that. Yeah, I mean, listen you okay,

1116
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:27.360
<v Speaker 4>are they top Are they top five defensive team in

1117
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:29.039
<v Speaker 4>the Yeah, no question.

1118
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And they've got great guard play, Okay, two things

1119
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:34.679
<v Speaker 2>you need when you're going to with a hurt guy.

1120
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:39.320
<v Speaker 4>I get it, okay, But yeah, electric from start to finish,

1121
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:41.679
<v Speaker 4>and we there was never a give even like when

1122
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:44.360
<v Speaker 4>we were down there last night, I felt the crowd

1123
00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:46.079
<v Speaker 4>was able to pick us up because I think you're

1124
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.400
<v Speaker 4>you really had a true sense of a six man

1125
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:50.000
<v Speaker 4>on the court, and that was a crowd of mikail.

1126
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.360
<v Speaker 3>But by the way, Richard, because you've seen a ton

1127
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.079
<v Speaker 3>of games here, how many points. Would you say mkale

1128
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:58.960
<v Speaker 3>is is worth because you and I had this conversation,

1129
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:01.519
<v Speaker 3>remember what you back in the day, how much is

1130
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:01.920
<v Speaker 3>it worth?

1131
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:06.239
<v Speaker 17>Well, I mean, a good hope court, I would probably

1132
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:08.519
<v Speaker 17>say five or six points, probably a couple of.

1133
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.679
<v Speaker 10>Possessions, you know, you know, you figure a possession.

1134
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:14.239
<v Speaker 17>Each half or something down the stretch. But at least

1135
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:15.760
<v Speaker 17>I'd say at least five or six.

1136
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, on a night like.

1137
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:19.800
<v Speaker 17>On a night like that, maybe a little bit more.

1138
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.480
<v Speaker 17>You know, guys, you know, the guys feed off that,

1139
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:27.199
<v Speaker 17>and you the home team plays with a little bit

1140
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:30.199
<v Speaker 17>more confidence and the road team plays a little tighter.

1141
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:32.480
<v Speaker 17>So I mean, you know, maybe it stretches to a

1142
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 17>little bit more than that. But yeah, I mean, of

1143
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:35.320
<v Speaker 17>course it has an effect.

1144
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.400
<v Speaker 8>And that's what makes college.

1145
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.599
<v Speaker 10>Basketball so special is that the fans can't have an

1146
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:41.360
<v Speaker 10>effect on the game. You know, it affects the way they.

1147
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:43.239
<v Speaker 17>Were officially called the game and affects the way the

1148
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:45.840
<v Speaker 17>guys play it. And you know, that's why there's a

1149
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:48.599
<v Speaker 17>home court advantage because especially the plays at the Kale

1150
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.039
<v Speaker 17>because you can see it and you could feel it,

1151
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:55.159
<v Speaker 17>and you know, obviously it makes a difference in especially

1152
00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:56.639
<v Speaker 17>what you saw in a game like last night.

1153
00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.639
<v Speaker 4>Rich, have you ever seen a U of eight team

1154
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:03.559
<v Speaker 4>constructed like this that's been like this? I guess what

1155
00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:06.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean is that at any night can be a

1156
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:08.159
<v Speaker 4>different player. I mean, you look at the span over

1157
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:10.639
<v Speaker 4>the last eight games. I think we've had six different

1158
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:14.880
<v Speaker 4>players of the game. Not only that, but the grind

1159
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:16.599
<v Speaker 4>that we and the grit that we show on the floor.

1160
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:18.599
<v Speaker 4>If you when's the last U of eight team that's

1161
00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:22.840
<v Speaker 4>kind of felt this way, Well, the last.

1162
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:25.800
<v Speaker 17>Time we had a team that was as probably as gritty.

1163
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:28.000
<v Speaker 17>The first team that comes to mind for me is

1164
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:33.559
<v Speaker 17>probably the two thousand and two team with Rick Anderson

1165
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:37.199
<v Speaker 17>and Jason Gardner and Luke Walton and Andre I mean

1166
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:42.800
<v Speaker 17>in those guys primarily because it's like you said, you

1167
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.519
<v Speaker 17>had some talent there, but you weren't sure. I mean,

1168
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.280
<v Speaker 17>anybody could start at any point in time, you know.

1169
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:52.039
<v Speaker 17>But I mean that's that's what makes I think this

1170
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:54.880
<v Speaker 17>team a little bit unique in the fact that it's

1171
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:59.480
<v Speaker 17>it's you know, there's there's a depth there across the

1172
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.920
<v Speaker 17>roster where these each one of these guys could star

1173
00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:06.559
<v Speaker 17>in ways that You're right, Other teams weren't constructed that way.

1174
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:06.760
<v Speaker 9>There.

1175
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.559
<v Speaker 17>There were a couple of guys clearly that were you know,

1176
00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:13.119
<v Speaker 17>stars or featured or whatever phrase you want to use,

1177
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:15.440
<v Speaker 17>and those were gonna be the guys that we're gonna

1178
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:17.760
<v Speaker 17>drive the engine. But this year, any of those guys

1179
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:21.360
<v Speaker 17>can And that's a wonderful luxury to have to know

1180
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.199
<v Speaker 17>that multiple guys can get you ten fifteen points every game.

1181
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:25.760
<v Speaker 8>That's great.

1182
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:27.679
<v Speaker 3>Well you you pulled that one out because I think

1183
00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:30.599
<v Speaker 3>that was Andre's first year and Hassan's.

1184
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:35.599
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, Andre, Andre Channing, Isaiah Foxers on that team.

1185
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:36.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

1186
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was kind of like a vagabond as a

1187
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.880
<v Speaker 3>group of just the misfits that worked well together.

1188
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that was the what they lose the first

1189
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:44.119
<v Speaker 2>round two Milwaukee.

1190
00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:46.599
<v Speaker 17>No, they lost, they lost in They lost in the

1191
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:48.119
<v Speaker 17>Sweet sixteen eight year in Oklahoma.

1192
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's right, Oklahoma, that's right, Okay, Okay, Yeah, Rich,

1193
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:52.199
<v Speaker 3>thanks for calling that.

<v Speaker 2>I gotta have them. Thanks Rich.
