00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:05.759
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now Here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Believe it or not, I try to be mindful of

4
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>how repetitive I am, and I know, as much as

5
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 2>I have tried to not be so repetitive, I have

6
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>been very repetitive as far as telling you guys how

7
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>much I've enjoyed this level of basketball season, what a

8
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>fun ride it has been so far, and the last

9
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>few years I still loved college basketball and kept up

10
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>with it.

11
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

12
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I learned throughout Louisville's really rough three year

13
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>stretch there that even if I don't have a team

14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>that is relevant at all, or if my team is

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>terrible or they're you know, not terrible, but just you know,

16
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>not not good, I can still enjoy the sport. I

17
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't know if that would be the case, but without

18
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure that out, I was able to figure

19
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 2>that out because I just love college basketball when it

20
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>comes to wagering on it or just keeping up with it.

21
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 2>So this year I've not been. I mean, I'm keeping

22
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>up with it, but I've not been. I guess as

23
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>on top of things because my focus is more so

24
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>on my team, which is fun. It's the way it

25
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>should be as a college basketball fan, and you want

26
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>to have some skin in the game in Louisville. You know,

27
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I've made an emotional investment as a Louisville fan to

28
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 2>where I don't ever need a bet on them. If

29
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 2>they lose, I feel like, I feel like it feels

30
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 2>worse than when I lost a bet. If they win,

31
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>it feels better than when I cash a ticket. So

32
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize that we're about to have coming up

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>this weekend number one verse number two in college basketball,

34
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>number one Auburn taken on number two Alabama. In fact,

35
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>never mind, it's the other. Yeah, number one Auburn and

36
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>number two Alabama and should be a great game that

37
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>goes without saying two of the best teams in the country.

38
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 3>But CBS Sports just put together kind of a.

39
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Breakdown of how often we get number one verse number two,

40
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>and we do get it, but it's just not been

41
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not been as frequent as you might expect, although

42
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe maybe you realize that it's a rare thing in general.

43
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>But what we have here is two teams from the

44
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>same conference playing each other. With both teams being in

45
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the top two. The last time you had that happen

46
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>was in twenty sixteen, nine years ago, Oklahoma went into

47
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Allen Field House to take on Kansas, and that was

48
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>a hell of a game. I remember that game just

49
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>because it was I don't remember it being number one

50
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>verse number two. I mean, it makes sense that it was,

51
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>but I just remember this when I saw triple overtime

52
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>and Buddy Healed, I knew. I remembered watching that game

53
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 2>because it was a thriller. But Kansas ended up winning

54
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>one o nine to one oh six and triple overtime,

55
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>and Buddy Heeld of course ended up becoming the national

56
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 2>player the U. And that again, that's the last time,

57
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>actually that's that's the last time it happened where you

58
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>had a team from two teams from the same conference.

59
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 2>So Bama and Auburn this weekend, two schools that typically

60
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>when they meet and it's a big deal, it's the

61
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Iron Bowl, right, it's football. But now they are number

62
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>one and number two in basketball, which really I've be't

63
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>thought about that. Both have been good in basketball in

64
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>recent years, right, I mean both have been to a

65
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Final four in like the last five years, so it's

66
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>not like it's unusual for them to be good, but

67
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>to see them both number one and number two, it

68
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 2>is wild, just because I still when I think of

69
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>those two schools, I'm gonna always think football, and I

70
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>know I'm not alone. But some other previous matchups between

71
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 2>number one and number two, this was not a conference matchup,

72
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 2>but the last time we got one in two playing

73
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 2>each other was when Gonzaga and let's see was it Gonzaga,

74
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's see here, Yeah, Gonzaga and UCLA. That was in

75
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>November of twenty twenty one, and Gonzaga beat number two

76
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>UCLA eighty three to sixty three in Las Vegas. That's

77
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>a pretty easy to forget game for me, probably just

78
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 2>because it took place in November, whenever, you know, you

79
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>got a bunch of non conference games.

80
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, the other some other, some other data here.

81
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>According to CBS Sports, the nine most recent Top two

82
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>games were in the regular season. The number the number

83
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>two team is fourteen and twelve, so that's in the

84
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 2>last nine, but overall number one leads twenty three to

85
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>twenty one. The most recent instance of number one playing

86
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 2>number two in the postseason was the two thousand and

87
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>five National Championship game between North Carolina and Illinois. I

88
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 2>remember that very well because those teams were elite. That

89
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Illinois team of course, with Darren Williams and Dee Brown.

90
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Those guys knocked off Louisville in that final four, and

91
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>then Carolina was just loaded that year. A one two

92
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>game has never included these two teams, which again that

93
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 2>probably doesn't surprise many people. Bruce Pearl, by the way,

94
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>is the only coach who is now going to be

95
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>playing in two games number one and number two. And

96
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I remember this game just because I remember it being

97
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>such a big deal in college basketball, and I remember

98
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>where I was when I watched it. I was in

99
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Lexington at my friend's house who were They were going

100
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>to UK at the time and they lived there. I

101
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>remember being there watching this game. It was number one

102
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Memphis when Calip Perry was there in Bruce Pearl's number

103
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>two Tennessee balls. That was back in two thousand and eight,

104
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>so that was Chris lofton for Tennessee and I don't

105
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 2>remember was it. I guess Derrick Rose was probably on

106
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 2>that Memphis team, I would imagine, So a big game

107
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>coming up, No doubt not a huge game tonight for

108
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Louisville as they take on NC State. I mean it's

109
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>a big game for Louisville fans because you know, I

110
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>feel like any game is a big game, right going

111
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>through the motions as a Louisville basketball fan this year,

112
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it is almost impossible. And what I

113
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>mean by going through the motions is like, you know,

114
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>not to where you feel like it's a chore. But

115
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>it certainly did feel like that the last couple of

116
00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>years to now, I feel like they could play anybody

117
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>in fans are going to be excited to watch because

118
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 2>we enjoy watching this team play. So in C State,

119
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they've been bad all year, They've lost eight in a row,

120
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and this really is a game where Louisville should take

121
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>care of business, regardless of the status of Chucky Hepburn.

122
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>But we do have a photo from the U OFL

123
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>men's basketball Instagram account that does show Chucky in uniform

124
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 2>going through the walkthrough, So again I choose to believe

125
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>that's an encouraging sign. It doesn't really tell us anything.

126
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>He might have done the same thing against Miami, although

127
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe he did because they announced before the

128
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>game that he wasn't going to go, so I look

129
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>at that as an encouraging sign. But even if Chucky

130
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't play, you should still win this game. I think

131
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>that's not asking too much. And if they do lose

132
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>without Chucky, yes, both things can be true. They're not

133
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>as good of a team when they don't have him,

134
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>they are more vulnerable to lose to anybody when they

135
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>don't have him, but they also should still be able

136
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>to win. Doesn't guarantee you that they do. But if

137
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Chucky does play, I feel even better about the matchup.

138
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>But again, it's when Louis of the lost to Georgia Tech.

139
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Chucky hepburn played right, and for some reason, I feel

140
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>like they've been without him for months, but it's only

141
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>been a week. It might come down to if he

142
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>plays tonight and he's good to go and he plays

143
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.519
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes, they really only were without him for one

144
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>game in total, which again, that would be best case

145
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 2>scenario given where we are right now. But I kind

146
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>of feel like the toll that this injury has taken

147
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>on me mentally. I'll look back and remember, Oh man,

148
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I remember being scared to death that we didn't have

149
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Chucky Hedburn, and I thought, Okay, what do I got

150
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.839
<v Speaker 2>to do. Somebody take Mike groin, give it to him.

151
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>He wouldn't be the same player with mine growing His

152
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>groin is probably a lot better than mine. But anything

153
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I can do to help, I'll do because I just

154
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>want him out there playing, because clearly he's the most

155
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>important piece to this team.

156
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>So n C State, I'm.

157
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Sure you guys are well aware of the storyline Brandon

158
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Huney Hatfield and Mike James, who were here for the

159
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>disastrous era that was Kenny Payne. They now play for

160
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>ency State, but it doesn't look like either guy is

161
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>expected to play. I mean, maybe that's changed, but Mike

162
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.079
<v Speaker 2>James hadn't played a second all year, was dealing with

163
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 2>an injury, and then he was back to practicing and

164
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 2>has since been dealing with an illness. So if he

165
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 2>plays tonight, he'd be making his debut this season. Maybe

166
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>he does, but I feel like, if you're Mike James,

167
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>you might as well just hang it up the rest

168
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 2>of the year, maintain a year of eligibility, and start

169
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>fresh next year, probably with well I was gonna say

170
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 2>probably with a new coach. But if they get rid

171
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of Kevin Keats. Now, NC State's gonna have spent a

172
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 2>lot of money to do that. Brandon hilly Hatfield did

173
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 2>play early on, was averaging you know, double figures at

174
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the season, and has since not played

175
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>very much due to an injury that he's dealing with,

176
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's all, you know, he just hasn't really been

177
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 2>much of a factor for them. So we shall see.

178
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>But regardless of really the unknowns meaning Chucky playing or

179
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>those two guys playing, Louisville should still win. I have

180
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 2>confidence that they will. But I'd be a liar if

181
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>I said I wasn't a little nervous, just because again,

182
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>my nerves about Louisville the rest of the way are

183
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>not going to be about that. I'm scared of these opponents.

184
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And I don't say that to mock them. I just mean,

185
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 2>like they're not good. Right, So Louisville, by all accounts,

186
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 2>is going to be favored and expected to win every

187
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>game the rest of the season for obvious reasons. But

188
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>what has me nervous is just knowing what's at stake

189
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>because a devastating loss.

190
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think.

191
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Most of these games, if you lose would be a

192
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 2>devastating loss and it could really change your resume in

193
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 2>a big way. And some of you have challenged me

194
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 2>on that, and I get it, you know, Like I'm

195
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>not on the committee. I don't know exactly how they

196
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>view Louisville as we speak today, and I don't really

197
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>know what type of record they need for Louisville to

198
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>get a seed that's a five or a six or seven, Like,

199
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. We're all speculating that's what this is.

200
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>But if you looked at Louisville's resume from top to

201
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>bottom right now, I think the best thing on it

202
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>is the number the net. But the net isn't the

203
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>end all be all. Because top thirty in the net

204
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.600
<v Speaker 2>with the record of eighteen and six and four quad

205
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>one wins, only one loss outside of the quad one,

206
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a solid resume, and I think that's

207
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 2>why you're seeing Louisville on like the seven line by

208
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 2>just about everybody else right now. So four quad one

209
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>wins saying that sounds pretty impressive, but those quad one

210
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>wins are not all created equally, right. Indiana beating Michigan

211
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>State last night was wild because I didn't expect it,

212
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 2>but that helped Indiana because now Indiana they've jumped up

213
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 2>to number fifty six from sixty one, so maybe they

214
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>can find themselves in the top fifty. That's not even

215
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>in quad one, but it'll stay quad one, but it

216
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.279
<v Speaker 2>could be quad one if they if they jump up

217
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>five to six more spots before the season comes to an.

218
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 3>End, so that's a quad two. That could be a

219
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 3>quad one.

220
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 2>But another example, I mean, you look at Louisville's current

221
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 2>quad ones are at SMU at Pitt and I don't

222
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>think you have any real worry about those going away.

223
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.159
<v Speaker 2>West Virginia needs to be in the top fifty. They're

224
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 2>forty three, so not a whole lot of room for

225
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>error there. Who else would be? Who else is considered

226
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 2>a quad one for Louisville. Now I'm curious. I should

227
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 2>have known this ahead of time. I thought I would

228
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>just be able to riff it and know exactly which

229
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 2>ones they are, because it's clear which wins have value

230
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>in which ones don't. So West Virginia is one. Oh yeah,

231
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Clemson beating them at home because they're now in the

232
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.279
<v Speaker 2>top thirty. So those are your four quad one wins.

233
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Two of them could easily go away, right, So here's

234
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 2>something that could make them go away. If Louisville loses

235
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>to a bad NC State team or like a bad

236
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Virginia Tech team or Stanford or cal or one of

237
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>those teams. What that's going to do is that's going

238
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 2>to drop Louisville's number probably more than a few spots.

239
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 3>And you know what that would do.

240
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>It would make the teams that are borderline quad one

241
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 2>now even worse. If Louisville loses to one of these

242
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>bad teams, that's going to impact in Oklahoma. I'm sorry

243
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>at West Virginia because they're loss to Louisville doesn't look

244
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>as good if Louisville takes a hit. So these things

245
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 2>all matter. Now again, it's not the end all be all.

246
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of factors that go into it. But

247
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 2>my point is this, if Louisville starts to slide in

248
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:42.320
<v Speaker 2>these metrics, NET and kin palm, that's going to also

249
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>hurt the teams that they have any real value with

250
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>those wins. So like that, it's not like a loss

251
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 2>here is devastating. I mean, you'd still be eighteen and seven,

252
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>you'd still have four quad one wins, but I think

253
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you get to the point where you're just becomes a

254
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>lot different with with with a loss to one of

255
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 2>these teams the rest of the way, because of all

256
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the other effects that.

257
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Come with that.

258
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>So I try to tell myself, let's not worry about

259
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that until you know what happens. But it could easily happen,

260
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>and I just think there's so much to lose and

261
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.879
<v Speaker 2>very little to gain, and you can't control it.

262
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Right, it is what it is.

263
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Just come ready to play one game at a time

264
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>and if they do that, they should be able to

265
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 2>win out. But you know, it's easier said than done, all.

266
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, Austome.

267
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 2>When you think of NC State, is there a game

268
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 2>between n C State and Louisville or something about NC

269
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 2>State basketball that comes to mind for you.

270
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.279
<v Speaker 3>When it comes to bat, Well, there's two things, one

271
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.000
<v Speaker 3>basketball and one football. I guess. I guess the football

272
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 3>one is after all the FBI stuff came down and

273
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 3>their fans or chanting FBI to it was mar Jackson. Yeah,

274
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 3>and did we lose that game? Oh yeah, yeah, they

275
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 3>got they got us good. Yeah, that was pretty nice

276
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Thursday night.

277
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 2>It was routy, and I think so the game I

278
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.360
<v Speaker 2>think of is the sweet sixteen game where same where

279
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Louisville ended up holding on and beating n C State

280
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in that it was yeah.

281
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Sweet sixteen, right, it's Anton Gill game two thousand, Yeah,

282
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 3>twenty fifteen. By the way, that was ten years ago.

283
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.519
<v Speaker 2>That was the last time that Louisville made it to

284
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the second weekend. In fact, they lost in the Elite

285
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>A to Michigan State that year. But yes, it was

286
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>the Anton Gill game and n C State if I

287
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>remember correctly. Yeah, they were in eight seeds, so they

288
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>ended up upsetting somebody to get to the Sweet sixteen.

289
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>This was the first year these two teams were in

290
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the same conference together. This was Louisville's first year in

291
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>the ACC. And you had a hot NC State team

292
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that had Trevor Lacy.

293
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I forgot about that guy.

294
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Wow, he had eighteen points. And they also had one

295
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>of the Martin twins. Caleb Martin played on that team,

296
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 2>big bj Anya.

297
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 3>And uh oh yeah it was a huge dude, right, yeah,

298
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.879
<v Speaker 3>big thick guy.

299
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

300
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>So for Louisville it was Trez who had twenty four.

301
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Big night for him, Roseier seventeen. I mean, those guys

302
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 2>really led this team. Quentin Snyder ended up having fourteen,

303
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 2>but it was Anton Gill who went three for three

304
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 2>and scored seven points off the bench that really helped

305
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Louisville go on a run to win. In fact, I

306
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:17.159
<v Speaker 2>forgot that went to overtime. Yeah, they went to an

307
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>overtime period there and held on to win.

308
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.759
<v Speaker 3>So that was big because Louisville.

309
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Of course, you know at that point you're one game

310
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.279
<v Speaker 2>away from the Final four, and that's sweet. The Sweet

311
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>sixteen games are always and I feel like Louisville has

312
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good record in Sweet sixteen games in my lifetime.

313
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the one that they lost most recently in

314
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.759
<v Speaker 2>the Sweet sixteen is one that still breaks my heart,

315
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and that was that lost to Kentucky in twenty fourteen,

316
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>which just the thought of it makes me want to vomit.

317
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.399
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, so I think of that game specifically.

318
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I also think of Cat Barber just because he was

319
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>a former Louisville recruit, big time guy, a big time guard,

320
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 2>remember him, and he two things won.

321
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.840
<v Speaker 3>He was seemingly like a done deal to Louisville.

322
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Then then it was revealed that he was the burglar

323
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Cat bart Cat Barbara the burglar stole something from a

324
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Louisville player. I think it might have been Tres or

325
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm thinking of the other. I don't know who

326
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 2>it was, but he stole something and got caught like

327
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>stealing from one of the players, and that ended all

328
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>scenarios where he'd ever end up at Louisville. And then

329
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>also he got caught wiping a booger on Montrez Heralin

330
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 2>a game. I remember that. Yeah, so I think of that,

331
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 2>and then this is just rant. This isn't I mean,

332
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 2>this isn't. This isn't a specific game between the two.

333
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 2>But there was a recruit that I feel like if

334
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 2>you were to ever go back, and I don't know

335
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 2>why anybody would do this, this is useless information, but

336
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.840
<v Speaker 2>if somebody did decide to go dig up data to

337
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 2>to you know, to put this together. The recruits that

338
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans talked about the most that never ended up

339
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 2>playing here and really never ended up being any good

340
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 2>wherever they went. Maverick Rowan is on that list. Maverick Rowan,

341
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was like on the fence, kind of committed,

342
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 2>but wouldn't commit to Louisville for I feel like months

343
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>and then sure enough, in the end, he ends up

344
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>committing to n C State, played there for I think

345
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.400
<v Speaker 2>two three years maybe and was a fine player, but

346
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 2>like wasn't great. But I just remember his recruitment seemed

347
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.200
<v Speaker 2>to last like forever. I mean, clearly he was somebody

348
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 2>on their radar, but there was about a two and

349
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>a half three month period where I feel like, any

350
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 2>day now we were waiting is this guy gonna actually

351
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 2>commit or not? And he ended up going to n

352
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 2>C State. But yeah, he didn't. He didn't have a

353
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 2>real great career in the end. So not a whole

354
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of history between these two. But again, tonight you'll

355
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>hear about the storyline. I'm sure even if those guys

356
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 2>don't play, the announcers will mention that that Mike James

357
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 2>and Brandon Hilley Hatfield were both Louisville Cardinals last year.

358
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.440
<v Speaker 2>But and I'm not, like I get I get it.

359
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 2>This is a very whatever game just because of you know,

360
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.559
<v Speaker 2>how bad NC State is for the most part, and Louisville.

361
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're a fine team, they're a good story

362
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 2>for college basketball, but they're not ranked anymore. And of

363
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 2>all games this week, this is certainly not a marquee one.

364
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So you're gonna mention on the broadcast certain storylines, certain

365
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.519
<v Speaker 2>certain things, and that is certainly something to mention, but

366
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>it kind of stops and ends there, because as I

367
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 2>mentioned earlier, there's really no connection like these two. The

368
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 2>two guys that are currently at Louisville, they don't know

369
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 2>anybody on the Louisville sideline, not a one, No players,

370
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.920
<v Speaker 2>no coaches, So same thing for Louisville's roster.

371
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.799
<v Speaker 3>They don't in the coaches. They don't know any of

372
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 3>these guys.

373
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>They don't know Mike James or Braydon huntly had Field,

374
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and if they do it, it's maybe because they cross

375
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 2>pass in aau or something like that. So currently an

376
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:40.880
<v Speaker 2>update here at DraftKings Louisville. Let's see, we have Louisville

377
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 2>now up a point. I think, wasn't it six and

378
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.680
<v Speaker 2>a half When you asked me earlier it was at

379
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>five and then you said no with six. Well now

380
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.359
<v Speaker 2>it's at seven and a half. So cards favored about

381
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 2>seven and a half in this game. It must they

382
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 2>must be either feeling like Chuck's gonna play or they're

383
00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>just really.

384
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.720
<v Speaker 3>In a couple other groin watchers over.

385
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>There realizing how bad NC State is again. They haven't

386
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>won a game in a while, they've lost eight in

387
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>a row. All right, real quick, before we get to

388
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.279
<v Speaker 2>our next break, I do want to talk about what

389
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 2>happened last night at Roperena. Mark Pope continues to win

390
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>games that he probably shouldn't win. But then again, if

391
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 2>he keeps doing it, can we still say that he

392
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 2>probably should win? Like if Kentucky finds themselves once again

393
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>with a matchup like last night, a top ten team, which,

394
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>by the way, they're going to play some of these teams.

395
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>They still have to play Alabama again, they play Auburn,

396
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.279
<v Speaker 2>so they'll be in this situation and it sounds insane.

397
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 2>But you know, if you ask me what I think

398
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 2>the chances are of Kentucky beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa or

399
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.319
<v Speaker 2>beating Auburn at home, I may need to ask, well, hey,

400
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>are they going to be at full strength? Because I

401
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 2>feel better about them winning if they're not at full strength,

402
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>because that's what they've been able to do. It doesn't

403
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.680
<v Speaker 2>make any sense. I tried to make sense of it earlier.

404
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's a well coached team. These guys

405
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>never get too high too low, and when guys can't play,

406
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 2>they're relying clearly on some other guys that maybe don't

407
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.160
<v Speaker 2>have the same role when the team's fully healthy, and

408
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>those guys have delivered in those games. Last night, you

409
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>had really a collective effort. But not only did Lamont

410
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Butler played twenty minutes and had an impact defensively before

411
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 2>he got hurt again, But you didn't have Jackson Robinson.

412
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Carr played twenty minutes, but you wouldn't have noticed him.

413
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.079
<v Speaker 2>He didn't do anything yet two points. Amari Williams not

414
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.519
<v Speaker 2>really a huge factor, So it was a little bit

415
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.160
<v Speaker 2>of everybody contributing. But the guys that did in fact

416
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 2>need to do more because players were out, they stepped up.

417
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 2>You got good production off the bench from the Kentucky

418
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 2>freshman the kids you know, when I say freshmen, I

419
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.680
<v Speaker 2>mean the kids who you know are from Kentucky, Travis

420
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Perry and Trenton Noah. Those guys made some big shots,

421
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 2>big moment for them, no doubt. And then also Kobe Brea.

422
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 2>He clearly has a bigger amount of work to do

423
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and he's relied upon more so whenever you don't have

424
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Jackson Robinson and last night he made some big shots,

425
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.880
<v Speaker 2>some timely shots. Otiga Oway, who's been their leading scorer

426
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>all year, he did what he typically does, had double figures.

427
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.319
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think he scored in double figures in

428
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>every game. So Mark Pope has done a phenomenal job.

429
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Still don't have a clue of Kentucky's going to be

430
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 2>a great team in the tournament.

431
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Who knows what I mean.

432
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you really know what to expect the

433
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.440
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way with this team, because you know,

434
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.119
<v Speaker 2>for those who say, man, this is a really tough

435
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky team to figure out, I don't see it that

436
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 2>way at all, because I think they're pretty easy to

437
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 2>figure out. Their losses have been to either really good

438
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>teams or teams that know, hey, if we're going to

439
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.480
<v Speaker 2>beat them, we need to slow it down. And really

440
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 2>the game against Clemson earlier this year, that's a good example.

441
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.440
<v Speaker 2>That's how you beat them, Georgia. Like if you have

442
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 2>if you go out there with a real intention of

443
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 2>making sure they don't get into the style of play

444
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>that they want to play, you still may lose, but

445
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 2>that's your best bet because if you try to run

446
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 2>with them, it's going to be tough to beat them.

447
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 2>The only teams that have been able to do that,

448
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like are Arkansas, who played out of their mind,

449
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>and then of course Floor I'm sorry Alabama, who's one

450
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 2>of the best teams in the country. So I mean,

451
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 2>I think they're actually pretty easy to figure out. They

452
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 2>can get beat by anybody if the game's played at

453
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.960
<v Speaker 2>a certain style and they're not hitting shots. But they

454
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.400
<v Speaker 2>also can be not even at full strength and still

455
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.839
<v Speaker 2>find a way to beat really good teams. So their

456
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 2>resume is it's a little bit of a head scratcher,

457
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.160
<v Speaker 2>because again, you feel like if they can beat Tennessee

458
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 2>twice and sweep them, then they shouldn't have losses to

459
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, Georgia, Ohio State, that kind of stuff. But again,

460
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I think if you I think the explanation I provided,

461
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:38.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe it doesn't make a ton of sense

462
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.559
<v Speaker 2>to you, but I think that's what's happened whenever you

463
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.640
<v Speaker 2>have the mindset of like like, for example, Tennessee should

464
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 2>never shoot more threes, or at least you shouldn't even

465
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 2>shoot close to as many threes as Kentucky, but they've

466
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.000
<v Speaker 2>done it twice. And Rick Barnes is cool with it

467
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and that's how he loses. That's not to take credit

468
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 2>away from Kentucky, but I mean they shot eighteen threes

469
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 2>last night. They made three of them, meaning Tennessee, they

470
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.240
<v Speaker 2>shot way more than Kentucky did when they played in Knoxville.

471
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you are playing them at their game, look,

472
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you may still win, but if you end up losing,

473
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe it's a pride thing. I don't

474
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.440
<v Speaker 2>think coaches are gonna ever want to reinvent themselves for

475
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:23.079
<v Speaker 2>one specific game. But man, it's gamesmanship, it's strategizing, and

476
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you have to feel like you're weak

477
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and you are inferior if you just know, hey, we're

478
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.759
<v Speaker 2>going to go out here and not try to play

479
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>them at their game, because why would we want to

480
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 2>do something that's going to put them in their comfort

481
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>zone where they're at their best. And it kind of

482
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.200
<v Speaker 2>felt like last night and stretches Tennessee. I mean, they

483
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't take a lot of bad shots, but like if

484
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:45.759
<v Speaker 2>they just slowed it down and really tried to grind

485
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>it out, they'd had a better chance of winning. All right,

486
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.599
<v Speaker 2>quick break, We'll come back on the other side. Keep

487
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>it rolling along. It's coffee and Company. Feel about Thornton's

488
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven.

489
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to coffee and Company. Fueled by Thornton's

490
00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine.

491
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Day, the Tyler Shuck fanclub continues to grow when it

492
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>comes to not just louisll fans, but those that cover

493
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the NFL Draft. He did a really good job of

494
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 2>making an impression, a good impression, I should say, on

495
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.960
<v Speaker 2>folks at the Senior Bowl. And now you've got big

496
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.000
<v Speaker 2>names out there that you know again, I think the

497
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.960
<v Speaker 2>NFL Draft lead up, in the NFL draft coverage is

498
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the really, like the most delusional things that

499
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:35.960
<v Speaker 2>we really lock in on because these guys have access,

500
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 2>they have resources, but like nobody ever just thinks to themselves,

501
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>why would anybody agent or personnel from an organization give

502
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.599
<v Speaker 2>these guys info only to use them as puppets to

503
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.119
<v Speaker 2>like put something out there that is exactly not what

504
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do, right, I mean, I just to me,

505
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty obvious, and I mean more often not when

506
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you think of somebody in previous drafts, as far as

507
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the analysts, one of the talking heads, when

508
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 2>you think of their NFL Draft predictions, you more often

509
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>than not think about how wrong they were about things

510
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.880
<v Speaker 2>like no offense to my boy Brian, But like, was

511
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:19.319
<v Speaker 2>it mcsha or Kuiper who said that that Brian Brohm

512
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 2>was the future of the Packers and not Aaron Rodgers,

513
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Like that's a very memorable thing that like clearly was wrong. Yeah,

514
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>so again it's more buzz i. Guess can be a

515
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.359
<v Speaker 2>good thing. But I've never really believed that these guys

516
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.119
<v Speaker 2>are being told by anybody what what's going to happen,

517
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:40.160
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of it comes from agents. But again agents,

518
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 2>quite literally, that is their job to manipulate and try

519
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 2>to just build up their client NonStop.

520
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.160
<v Speaker 3>And if it's lie and do a.

521
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Media member or an analyst about something, because they'll put

522
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 2>it out there, then everybody's gonna believe it and then

523
00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:59.319
<v Speaker 2>it'll get more hype for your player. Like again that's

524
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:01.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of I think, quite literally, not kind of that

525
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.279
<v Speaker 2>is that is their job. That is sort of what

526
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.119
<v Speaker 2>they're supposed to do. But the list is growing because

527
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 2>it was let me see which which I can't think

528
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.799
<v Speaker 2>of which an Austin mentioned that Colin Coward was talking

529
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:15.319
<v Speaker 2>about Tyler Schuck on his show today, which again that alone,

530
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 2>is that that tells you that he is and he

531
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely getting some more buzzs. And then it was

532
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Todd McShay who put it out there last night on

533
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Twitter with some clips of Shuck playing and says there

534
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.359
<v Speaker 2>aren't four quarterbacks in this draft class more gifted with

535
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 2>NFL tools than Louisville QB Tyler Shuck. There, I said

536
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 2>it good night, So I would love for him to

537
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 2>end up having a really good run in the NFL

538
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 2>and saying to know where, I mean, I don't even

539
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 2>know what his draft stock actually is. He's getting some

540
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:45.400
<v Speaker 2>love and that's great, but as far as what round

541
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 2>he's like projected to go in, I don't.

542
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Last I saw was like sixth.

543
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's maybe that's since changed because he's continuing to

544
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 2>get more praise and there's more there's more work being

545
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:58.240
<v Speaker 2>done in the film room to see all these tools

546
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 2>that he has. But yeah, the buzz continues to grow

547
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>for Tyler Schuck, which is which is a good thing.

548
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, So last night, and I mentioned this.

549
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Game yesterday for some reason, I was thinking of it

550
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:13.839
<v Speaker 2>was this weekend, but I was wrong. So Yukon of course,

551
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 2>the defending national champs twice. They've won two consecutive national championships,

552
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:20.960
<v Speaker 2>which you know, been a long time since we've.

553
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Had anybody do that. They I don't think of.

554
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Them necessarily as like a contender to win it this year,

555
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 2>but I'm foolish not to right. I mean, they're still

556
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 2>seventeen and seven, nine and four in the Big East,

557
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:32.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're not going to win their league it doesn't

558
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.039
<v Speaker 2>look like.

559
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 3>But they're still a good team.

560
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 2>And they won last night seventy to sixty six on

561
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 2>the road at Creighton, a Creighton team that was red hot,

562
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and there was a dollar beers being served at Creighton

563
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>last night to really have a rowdy atmosphere.

564
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:51.880
<v Speaker 3>And I think Hurley is really good for.

565
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>College basketball as the guy who is unable to not

566
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>be emotional and fiery on the sideline.

567
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 3>So I have no issue last night with.

568
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Him walking off the court looking at the remaining Creighton

569
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.000
<v Speaker 2>fans that were there, pointing to his ring finger and

570
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 2>saying he's got two of them, Like, I got no

571
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 2>issue with that. But what you can't do is then

572
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>cry when you act like that and you lose, because

573
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.240
<v Speaker 2>you are on top right now. You are the two

574
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 2>time defending national champion, and you're pretty easy to dislike

575
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.279
<v Speaker 2>if your team. And I don't mean that in like

576
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 2>a personal way, but he's he's always yelling at the refs.

577
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:32.119
<v Speaker 2>He's clearly said some things that we now know what

578
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.119
<v Speaker 2>he said to the refs, which really shows how arrogant

579
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 2>he is.

580
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.599
<v Speaker 3>But hey, he's got to be right to be ergan.

581
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.079
<v Speaker 3>He's a winner.

582
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 2>He's got two national championships in two straight years. So

583
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 2>don't be a baby and play victim whenever you're acting

584
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.039
<v Speaker 2>the same way and your energy is the same, but

585
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>you lose, that makes it mean, that makes you lame

586
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:51.799
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion. And again I'm sure he doesn't care

587
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.960
<v Speaker 2>about my opinion of him, but big he's good for

588
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>college basketball when he's that way, good or bad, and

589
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:02.519
<v Speaker 2>he should be more into it and wave goodbye to

590
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the fans and Creighton last night as he walked off

591
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.279
<v Speaker 2>the court like that. I think that's fun. That's what

592
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 2>makes this fun. But also when you lose, you know,

593
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:12.559
<v Speaker 2>just to eat it. Don't don't play victim in the

594
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:14.880
<v Speaker 2>press conferences as if they're picking on you. I wish

595
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.200
<v Speaker 2>they'd go watch other coaches this closely what you run

596
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>it from the attention. For you said it yourself to

597
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 2>a referee that you're the best coach in college basketball.

598
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.039
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be more tension on somebody that is,

599
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:27.599
<v Speaker 2>in fact that good at what they do. But here's

600
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.920
<v Speaker 2>what he said last night about the Creighton fans. And again,

601
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure if you're a creaton fan, you wouldn't like this.

602
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>And I get why people are like, no, I don't

603
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.640
<v Speaker 2>like that guy. He's too arrogant. Like I understand it,

604
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.359
<v Speaker 2>but sports is entertainment and I found this to be entertaining.

605
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 3>And here's what he had to say. What was that

606
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 3>moment when you, of course it's doing the stupid ass thing.

607
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:49.920
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, I now have figured out not

608
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:51.599
<v Speaker 2>necessarily and I'll get it fixed in a second, because

609
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 2>this is worth hearing.

610
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:55.680
<v Speaker 3>But I now know where. I don't know how it happens.

611
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you use your phone or like,

612
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, a cinematype camera, then it's one thing. But

613
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:05.839
<v Speaker 2>news report like people who work for news stations that

614
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.160
<v Speaker 2>are there getting you know, footage for their newscast. And

615
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:10.480
<v Speaker 2>by the way, shout out to those people.

616
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 3>They're great. We bring many of them on the show.

617
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to our guy Kent Spencer, WHS eleven, Kendrick Haskins, like,

618
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I love these guys, but it's it's those accounts that

619
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 2>have the video that only plays out of one side,

620
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 2>one channel, and it's an issue for us because for

621
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 2>some reason whenever it's only playing out of one channel

622
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:32.119
<v Speaker 2>and not both channels or mono, which if you know audio,

623
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:35.119
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm talking about. It it's it's it

624
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:38.559
<v Speaker 2>only plays for the streamers, like the people who are

625
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 2>listening on the out radio. If you're listening on the radio,

626
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're listening on the tresshel radio like in your car,

627
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:46.119
<v Speaker 2>and we play that sound, we can hear it. People

628
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:48.400
<v Speaker 2>streaming on hour can hear it, but it's just silence

629
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:49.960
<v Speaker 2>on the radio. So when that happens, I got to

630
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.799
<v Speaker 2>rip the sound and make it, make a change to it,

631
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 2>which I've done here.

632
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:58.559
<v Speaker 4>When you well, I just wish there was more people

633
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:02.119
<v Speaker 4>still here, you know, that was the only thing because

634
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:05.079
<v Speaker 4>when I've gotten my butt kicked in here, minus the

635
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:07.200
<v Speaker 4>COVID year, which we would all like to forget, where

636
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I think this was the only place we came to

637
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.000
<v Speaker 4>that actually had fans that year, you know. But I've

638
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 4>obviously had to walk off unceremoniously, uh, you know, just

639
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:24.240
<v Speaker 4>crushed by the crowd, and you know, curse that, and

640
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:28.359
<v Speaker 4>and you know and and but I don't really as

641
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 4>long as they're not leaning over the rail and getting

642
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 4>in my face. I mean, I I think it's what

643
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 4>makes college sports so much better, a college basketball so

644
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:38.599
<v Speaker 4>much better than any other type of basketball is you know,

645
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.680
<v Speaker 4>you got your Uh although the you know, the home

646
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.200
<v Speaker 4>fans here didn't get the win that they wanted, uh,

647
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 4>but they got a show. I mean, they got uh

648
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:52.480
<v Speaker 4>intense game with you know, with so much passion and

649
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:57.599
<v Speaker 4>a life or death struggle. You know, I'm not gonna

650
00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:59.759
<v Speaker 4>lie to you. I mean I was very gratifying. I

651
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:03.200
<v Speaker 4>wait that some people, but I just wish that there

652
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.799
<v Speaker 4>was more of them still left. There's been a lot

653
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 4>more left when I've lost and.

654
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:12.359
<v Speaker 3>Did a good job of stopping.

655
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:19.039
<v Speaker 2>So I think everything he said is true, and I

656
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:21.640
<v Speaker 2>wish more coaches would be And I think we are

657
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 2>getting to a point where it is now more of

658
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 2>a win for you if you're relatable and you are

659
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.480
<v Speaker 2>human and you are down to earth. I don't think

660
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:34.359
<v Speaker 2>he's really a guy that is like that. I think

661
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>he's I mean, I think he's different just because he's

662
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 2>a Hurley and he's from a basketball family, and like,

663
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's I don't. I don't think you

664
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:42.799
<v Speaker 2>would hang out with Hurley and feel like he's just

665
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:44.279
<v Speaker 2>one of the boys. Which I don't mean that as

666
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.680
<v Speaker 2>an insult, but like, the more you're relatable, the more

667
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you're down to earth, the more you're humble, rather than

668
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>this larger than life, arrogant figure that that you know

669
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:53.359
<v Speaker 2>everybody's beneath him.

670
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:54.440
<v Speaker 3>It's just different now.

671
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.279
<v Speaker 2>So if coaches would acknowledge, like yeah, hell yeah, I

672
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.160
<v Speaker 2>love drawn back and forth with their fans after we

673
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.319
<v Speaker 2>beat them, you should say that if it's the truth,

674
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.720
<v Speaker 2>and we shouldn't act like that makes you classless, because look,

675
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.480
<v Speaker 2>it's entertainment, it's fun. And I think he is right

676
00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 2>in one of the things he said there, that that's

677
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.720
<v Speaker 2>what makes college basketball different. You don't get that in

678
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the NBA, and if you do, it's in a meaningless

679
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.119
<v Speaker 2>game that you forget about the next day. Because they

680
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 2>play eighty two of them in the regular season, so

681
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.319
<v Speaker 2>I doubt they win it this year, but can't say

682
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd be stunned if they do, because They're still a

683
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:35.039
<v Speaker 2>good team until somebody takes it from them. They are

684
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the defending champs. All right, let's get to our last break.

685
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.039
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back on the other side and I'll wrap

686
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 2>this thing up. A lot more that I want to

687
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 2>get into today that I don't have time to get into,

688
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>but that's okay. Some of this stuff's not time sensitive,

689
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and we can certainly get into it tomorrow, including the

690
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:55.480
<v Speaker 2>potential spring football that is very valuable to college programs.

691
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 2>It may be dying, and that's just because of the

692
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:01.799
<v Speaker 2>ever changing life landscape of college athletics. It sounds like

693
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:04.799
<v Speaker 2>CBS Sports and I haven't read it in full, but

694
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.319
<v Speaker 2>there's an article from Brandon Marcelo of CBS Sports that

695
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.320
<v Speaker 2>mentions that college coaches are considering NFL style OTA's as

696
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.199
<v Speaker 2>a replacement for spring games because of the portal. And really,

697
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't want anybody to see your spring game on

698
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.840
<v Speaker 2>TV because they might know you've got a player that

699
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.880
<v Speaker 2>they could easily just go get if they wanted. Changes

700
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 2>are crazy, if you really think about it. College sports

701
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.920
<v Speaker 2>has changed so much off the court, off the field,

702
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>like between the lines, when I watched the product, it's

703
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:35.599
<v Speaker 2>still the same and I love it, but everything else

704
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.360
<v Speaker 2>outside of that, Man, it's a different world than it

705
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 2>was just four years ago.

706
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Quick break. We'll come back and wrap it up right

707
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:41.719
<v Speaker 3>here on Sports Talk seven to ninety.

708
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

709
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

710
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.960
<v Speaker 2>If you've been keeping up with our weather updates, I'm

711
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.199
<v Speaker 2>not weather updates, I'm sorry traffic updates that you hear

712
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:02.960
<v Speaker 2>on your afternoon commute. Sounds like sixty four westbound is.

713
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.880
<v Speaker 3>In a tough spot. I just saw it. Looks like Way.

714
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Three that that's where I'm seeing it now, that there's

715
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:13.920
<v Speaker 2>a truck on fire that's blocking all lanes of I

716
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.480
<v Speaker 2>sixty four west bound near Third Street in downtown. And

717
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 2>then somebody sent in a video to Wave three and

718
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Olivia Russell posted this and you can see, I mean,

719
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.840
<v Speaker 2>it's it's it's yikes. I mean sounds like there are

720
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:29.800
<v Speaker 2>no injuries, which is good. I guess they realized something

721
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:31.239
<v Speaker 2>was wrong and they got away from the vehicle. But

722
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I've ever seen a truck just complet,

723
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, right there on the inter state, burning up

724
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 2>in flames like that. And then the video that that

725
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:42.280
<v Speaker 2>somebody's sending while driving. That's the one that I'm looking

726
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.559
<v Speaker 2>at now. But if you go to the the aerial

727
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.599
<v Speaker 2>view that I guess they had a news chopper up

728
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.880
<v Speaker 2>over top of it. I mean, that thing is burnt

729
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:53.519
<v Speaker 2>all the way down to the bones essentially.

730
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, pretty pretty scary stuff.

731
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>So terrible traffic for everybody, I am sure, however, I

732
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:01.559
<v Speaker 2>would imagine that, you know, the good news is that,

733
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is good news that nobody's nobody's nobody's

734
00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:06.360
<v Speaker 2>there injured, because I mean, I'm not sure I've seen

735
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 2>a vehicle on fire quite like that, So hopefully everybody

736
00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 2>stay safe out there. I mean, I don't is there

737
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a sign that you're supposed to, like, know, hey my

738
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 2>car is having some issues, because if my car started

739
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:24.079
<v Speaker 2>smoking a little bit, I don't think that I would

740
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:25.800
<v Speaker 2>just assume it's going to catch on fire.

741
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:29.119
<v Speaker 3>Radiator. Yeah, I don't know what leads.

742
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.719
<v Speaker 2>What leads to it, too, And I wonder what the

743
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:36.280
<v Speaker 2>most common factor is as far as somebody on the

744
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.880
<v Speaker 2>interstate driving and then sure enough their car is on

745
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 2>fire like that. I mean, I'm sure there are a

746
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:43.719
<v Speaker 2>variety of things that could cause that, but maybe they

747
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:45.559
<v Speaker 2>just said the hell with it. I'm never getting an

748
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:48.119
<v Speaker 2>oil change. I doubt that that would actually cause your

749
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:50.079
<v Speaker 2>car to catch on fire. But I don't know nothing

750
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.480
<v Speaker 2>about vehicles, so therefore, you know, I'm just I have

751
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:54.679
<v Speaker 2>no clue. But if somebody is aware of something you

752
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:57.719
<v Speaker 2>should be mindful of, like, hey, if this happens, run

753
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:01.159
<v Speaker 2>please let me know, because I I feel very ignorant

754
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to the whole thing at this point. All Right, we

755
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.280
<v Speaker 2>were out of time, and we still don't have any

756
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.159
<v Speaker 2>big update, any real update at all about Chucky Hepburn.

757
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:11.599
<v Speaker 2>But if you caught the show late, we did see

758
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Chucky Hepburn getting warmed up. And there's actually a video

759
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.039
<v Speaker 2>that was sent in from one of the affiliates down

760
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>there in Raleigh that works for I believe, the ABC

761
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:24.480
<v Speaker 2>affiliate that shows Chucky going through warm ups and going

762
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.679
<v Speaker 2>through I mean he's stretching, so that's encouraging, but still

763
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.079
<v Speaker 2>not any real indicator. Still not really sure if he's

764
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:32.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to go today, but I hope

765
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:34.159
<v Speaker 2>he does. All Right, we're out of here and enjoy

766
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the evening. Back at it tomorrow on Sports Talk seven

767
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.159
<v Speaker 2>ninety
