Are you had a busy week? 15 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.320 And I guess with basketball at least observing? Yeah, we 16 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:48.159 and you did too. 17 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.000 How'd you do in your little try out there with 18 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.039 baseball Baseball WBC. 19 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:53.520 I don't know. 20 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.320 I guess I hung in there, Okay, it was It 21 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.200 was a challenge. You know, I've never really done public address. 22 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.359 Of all the things that I've done kind of around 23 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.600 a microphone. That was one thing I really unless maybe 24 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.480 I did some little league games or through the years, 25 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.480 and yeah, so not doing that. Plus you're the challenge 26 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.480 of a couple different teams from different countries from you know, 27 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.159 from China and Germany yesterday, so I don't know. I 28 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.280 thought I did. Okay, they've invited me back at least 29 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.599 for one more game, and good for you, and they 30 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.000 can you know, get the professionals in there. 31 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.359 Yeah, no, good for you. How was the crowd? 32 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.159 It was okay. It was an early morning game when 33 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.120 I was at was at eleven. I think they announced 34 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.680 it somewhere around sixteen or seventeen hundred. I think they 35 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.599 had more for the night game. It looked like I 36 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.719 saw some of it on TV. It look like there 37 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.120 are more people there. So the weather was nice. The 38 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.000 weather's supposed to be okay, I guess a little warmer tomorrow, 39 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.519 which is good. Yeah, since we have eleven o'clock and 40 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.760 six o'clock games again, and then there's another one on 41 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.959 Thursday at night. But that's it, so you know, quick 42 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.400 and right, So it's it's tomorrow. 43 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:59.400 So it's already three days, right, four days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. Yeah, 44 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.120 that's it. Okay, No, good, good, good for them. I 45 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:03.680 will see how the crowd is. I hope to get 46 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.560 out there at some point sometime soon. You talked about 47 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.840 the weekend EWA basketball. We're gonna have Troy Hutchinson coming 48 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.520 in the first hour at three seventeen. I don't know 49 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.800 if he went to Timmy Lloyd's press convin Did you 50 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.319 go today to press comings? No, I didn't, so I 51 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.719 didn't listen to it. I was too busy. So it's 52 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.080 not a shock to me. I mean, maybe the maybe 53 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.360 the way they played, not the way they played, the 54 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.759 number of how once they got beat by right, was 55 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.240 a little shocking, But I'm not surprised. 56 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:34.759 I think people who listen to me. 57 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.520 Know that I'm not too high on the team, and 58 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.039 can you be, can you be given the situation and. 59 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.800 Well, yeah, I mean late in the year like this 60 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.479 and they give up you know, those kind of points 61 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.000 and those kind of threes and you know, basically March already. 62 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.039 It was pretty frustrating to watch that, and you know, 63 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.360 kind of ominous knowing that we're really just a couple 64 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:55.919 more weeks away from the tournament, and. 65 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.240 That's kind of the same thing that happened in December. 66 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.560 Yeah, the threes, the defense, the kind of lulls, And 67 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.919 he even talked about it and his post game that 68 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.039 he would he had wanted them to come out emotionally 69 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.599 ready because it was the problem. 70 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.240 Maybe a week or so, right, right. 71 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.560 So the funny thing about it, David, and you've been 72 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.000 in the business a lot of time, people like like 73 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.400 General Public say well, they'll learn from this, they'll learn 74 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:18.719 from this. 75 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.800 How many times can you learn from that? Now, either 76 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.080 you do it or you don't, after what whatever, twenty 77 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.360 five games? Yeah, how much have you not learned or 78 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:27.560 how much do you still need to learn? 79 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.080 I've never spent my kids and they'll probably agree say 80 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.639 the yes, but I give him a look. I gave 81 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.520 him a look is don't do don't do this. That's 82 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.039 kind of what he needs to do. Don't do this. 83 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.360 You can't do this anymore. You can not if you 84 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.800 want to have a future. In the march, usually you 85 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.960 think about how is this all going to end? Well, 86 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.159 that might have been a preview of it, Dave. No, 87 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.360 you're spot on, man, You're spot on. You you can elaborate, 88 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:55.360 but I'm gonna go with you. 89 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:55.439 No. 90 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.000 I was just thinking, I mean, really, how is this 91 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:58.800 season going to come to an end. And that's really 92 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.360 kind of what's been their downfall almost all year is 93 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.800 just lack of intensity on defense, even though they have 94 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.759 great moments on defense, which I think kind of turn 95 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.520 their season around. Yeah, like in December, but you know 96 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.879 when they you know, sit there and give up how 97 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.919 many three pointers eleven or something in the twelve first 98 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.719 half in the first half and just you know, most 99 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.680 of them were pretty much clear shots. You know, that's good. 100 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.920 That's going to what's going to end things against you know, 101 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.240 another Princeton type team. 102 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.040 Well, Clemson did that last year. Yeah, well, I totally 103 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.800 agree with you, because you are who you are. I mean, 104 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.879 just you are who you are, and this is kind 105 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:35.160 of who they are, right the lax passes, the bad defense, 106 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.439 on shooting, the bad shooting. I think those three are 107 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.639 partly good enough to get your beat right any point 108 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.199 in the tournament. 109 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.360 Yeah, meantime, there's still twenty fourth in the country. The 110 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.279 poll came out again today, which I know you don't 111 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.600 you don't care about either, but it's the matchups. It's 112 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.160 who they're going to be playing, right right. 113 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.240 No, Yeah, when I was a little bit surprised they 114 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:53.839 hung in there, but I think a lot of the 115 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.399 voters still think highly of them. 116 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.800 There ninth in the net really in the top ten, so. 117 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.720 They I still think that they're pretty good, which could 118 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.240 very well happen too. They can go on this one 119 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.120 that we're not expecting. But I think a lot of 120 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.560 people are kind of like poo pooing it because what 121 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.600 they've seen. You know, how high can you be on 122 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.040 this team given what you've seen, especially recently. 123 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.519 What they're two and four their last six games, and 124 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.079 you know, I mean, let's figure they're going to probably 125 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.319 win this next game against Arizona State, but then going 126 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.920 to Kansas who knows. Kansas lost at home the other 127 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.079 day themselves, so they're not maybe the Jugger or not 128 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.279 that we've all worried about, sure, but it's still a 129 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.720 road game. It's going to be a big one for 130 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.519 them no matter what. 131 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.319 Well, look at this, they've they played tomorrow night here, 132 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.399 which you say should be a win, and I agree 133 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.639 with you. Kansas, who knows? And then they go to 134 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.120 Big twelve. 135 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:41.439 They don't. 136 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.560 I don't think they're going to come home, but maybe 137 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.439 they do. They will, and then they go three or 138 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.160 two or one in the tournament and then you've got 139 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.279 to go back on the road again to the tournament. 140 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.120 It's not an easy thing. 141 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.639 Yeah, they'll be stuck in the Midwest, you know, somewhere 142 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.720 for sure, at least, you know, for a week basically 143 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.399 getting through the Kansas game and then just kind of 144 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.199 sliding over to Kansas City. So that's going to be 145 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.319 a long time on the road. And we don't even 146 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.360 know obviously who they're going to play. If they're one 147 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.439 of the top four teams in the conference. There, they'll 148 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.199 be off for a couple of days, kind of waiting 149 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.399 to see who's who's you know available. Basically. It's funny. 150 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.800 Before the game started, I was watching horse racing and 151 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.040 the Bathrood horses getting ready for the for the derby. 152 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.079 But there was a guy that came on the scene 153 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:25.480 scene and he was talking about it. You know, if 154 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.519 you have a weapon, if you have a weapon, go 155 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.120 with that weapon, right, you know, you use that weapon. 156 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.040 I'm thinking, I don't know why I haven't heard that, 157 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.560 but it's it was profound and very easy to understand, right, 158 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:42.879 And I'm thinking, who's Arizona's weapon. It's a very easy choice. 159 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.360 It's Caleb, right, but he's not really a weapon because 160 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.600 you don't know when he's gonna go off. 161 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.720 Yeah, it's you know, it's just been one kind of 162 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.040 inconsistent run after another. 163 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:54.199 Who do you trust? 164 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.600 Who do you trust? Yeah, I don't know. I don't 165 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.439 know if there's an answer to it. That's the problem. Yeah, 166 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.040 I mean there's been obviously flashes of good stuff throughout 167 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.439 the season, but then you know, games where he's just 168 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.800 not even part of the offensive whatever results that the 169 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.519 team is putting together, right, I don't know. 170 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.360 And then we've talked about it. They need him to 171 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.920 go deep into the tournament. They just they just do 172 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.079 and maybe they don't need it to win all the games. 173 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.279 But this ain't going to be easy. And I'd said 174 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:27.560 in my story, I don't know if you read it. 175 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.040 We knew that the second half, was second half of 176 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.360 the conference season was going to be torture. It's been 177 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.759 torture because they didn't play anybody in the first half, 178 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:36.800 really pretty much played the bottom half of the league. 179 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.120 Now the second half or a bunch of the tournament teams, 180 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.800 the tournament teams that equal the other tournament teams are 181 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.319 kind of just as good, right, right, Well, they're all 182 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.879 tournament teams pretty much from here out except for tomorrow. 183 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.240 Yeah, I mean Houston obviously, today, Ioway State, Kansas, Kansas 184 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.279 is coming up. You're right, it's going to be pretty 185 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.680 high competition, high quality competition, I would say, you know, 186 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.120 the rest of the way. Obviously, even even when they 187 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.839 get into the Big twelve tournament, that first game is 188 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.399 gonna still be against somebody who's won two games and 189 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.279 they're gonna have some momentum and all this and that, 190 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.240 and now Arizona's gonna be an animey territory and things like. 191 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.480 You know, it's gonna be an interesting dynamic just for 192 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.879 that one weekend itself. 193 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.199 Yeah, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. 194 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:20.879 One. 195 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.879 Give me your quick observation from Saturday. 196 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.920 Saturday, Like you've talked about, it was disappointing to see 197 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:34.159 the effort, especially on the defensive side. But that's credit 198 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:38.080 to Iowa State. They're a great team. They if it 199 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.039 wasn't for a miracle shot, they would have won in Tucson, 200 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.879 they would have had the regular season sweep against the Cats, 201 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.519 and it took a miracle to prevent that. 202 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.720 Look at you, you've become more pragmatic than this sounds 203 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:49.960 like me. 204 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.200 But regardless, you can't play that way if you're Arizona. 205 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.519 Because you play that way, like you said in the 206 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.000 first round, you're going to lose another Princeton, another Clemson. Yeah, 207 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.159 and where the Wildcats are projected right now? You don't 208 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.639 like that? No, you don't like that? 209 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:08.039 Where? 210 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:09.720 Where? What's the lights of projection after today? 211 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.480 And they still I think they're still a force, but 212 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.519 I don't know if they've updated it since I don't 213 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.519 think they're going to fall far anyway. Four or five, right, 214 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.919 four or five, that's still respected. But let me also 215 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.159 recall I was going to some memories on my Facebook 216 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.639 that Arizona is the only program in the country that 217 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.960 had lost to so many lower seeds. And I'm not 218 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.559 being facetious and I'm being serious. They're the most the 219 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.480 team with the most losses against higher seeds. 220 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.440 Still haven't lost that one sixteen game, and that's not 221 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.279 that's not kind of many times soon, but certainly the 222 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:50.159 we've had the two fifteens a couple of times in thirteen, yeah, twelve, Yeah, 223 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.639 the eleven's I think, so, yeah, you're right. 224 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.519 So just another factor we talked about maybe a couple 225 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.840 of months ago, we talked about them being on the 226 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:03.919 road outside of tomorrow Kansas, the tournament, the tournament, what 227 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.399 about being tired, what about being tired with a small rotation. 228 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.799 Yeah, well it's interesting because maybe they will come back 229 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.879 if they're gonna if they're gonna play until whatever, the Thursday, 230 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.320 third day of this tournament. Yeah, they probably will come back. 231 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.159 I'm guessing. And I don't know where spring break falls. 232 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.759 I think we might be approaching swing spring breaks, so 233 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.799 you know, there won't be any classes and things like that, 234 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.240 so i'd be maybe they will. I would think they 235 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:27.799 would come back. 236 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.600 I'm talking Okay, a good point, but I'm talking more tired, 237 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.159 getting beat up, right, because they have to play beat 238 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.480 up and I'm terms up, you're going to be really 239 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.440 good defensively, guess what you have to do? Be physically defensively. 240 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.559 They weren't the Saturday, and that kind of that's what 241 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:46.039 it led to. 242 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.519 And again like kJ did he foul out again? You know, 243 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.399 I mean that's like two games in a row. You know, 244 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.399 it's one thing to be aggressive, but you gotta be 245 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.559 somewhat smart. Don't be fouling on three point shots again. 246 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.559 I mean, those things like that are just frustrated. You learn, 247 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.080 do you need to learn? We should look that one up. 248 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.919 I look that one up. I'm just saying that it's 249 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.279 happened a lot. I'm just kidding, but it has happened 250 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.639 quite a few times, it seems. 251 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.919 Yeah, And there's this team has little margin for error, 252 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.360 just little Yeah. 253 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.320 He talks about being tired and being beat up. That 254 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.759 doesn't matter. No, no one's gonna feel sorry. March third 255 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.360 and it's got check time. And that's what separates some 256 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.240 of the great teams and some of those surprise teams 257 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.840 that go and runs and watching the second round at home. 258 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.039 Yeah. Well, I mean everybody's everybody's beat up for sure, 259 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.039 and so even when they get to the Big twelve tournament, 260 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.960 they're gonna be facing teams that are either going to 261 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.879 be injured or beat up. So you know, there's there's 262 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.320 kind of that story with everybody. Yeah, but we and 263 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.480 we're focusing on our team here, so we kind of know. 264 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.159 But you're right, the teams are just you know, it's March. 265 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.000 Guys have played a lot of games and those who 266 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.679 can you know, survive some of this one of. 267 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.799 The things I thought right away when kJ went down 268 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:57.600 and he was down for a little bit, you know 269 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.399 you're thinking, they can't. They can't little dude going out now, 270 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.679 especially a guy like him or anybody, because those minutes 271 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.720 are going to be gobbled up and the guy who's 272 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.519 going to replace you isn't as good as the guy 273 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.039 getting hurt. 274 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.519 Yeah. I mean they're like one twisted ankle away from 275 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.320 it being a really quick exit. 276 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.720 You have to be they have to be careful with that. 277 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.279 Yeah. 278 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.480 The good the good thing for whatever you saw from 279 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.720 him was Martinez. He didn't contribute anything offensively, but. 280 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.120 It wasn't damaging. 281 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.080 He so to say, yeah. 282 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.480 Yeah, as long as the house is not on fire, 283 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:32.440 you did a great job. 284 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.320 Do you think this is and this is my personal question, 285 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.799 do you think there's there's an issue with Tommy shortening 286 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.200 that rotation and not having enough when it gets to 287 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.639 March when when you have a player possibly like kJ Lewis, 288 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.559 having four fouls and there's still ten minutes left and 289 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:50.399 go to a good question. 290 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.440 That's a good question. Who else do they have? They 291 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.759 don't they don't? 292 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:59.200 Yes, yes, and I'll say this yes, but every other 293 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.919 coach does it too. Because it's who you trust, right, 294 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.759 It's who you trust in tough situations. And guess what, 295 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.000 March is tough situations. And he hasn't played enough. He 296 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.639 just hasn't played enough. Whether he goes to him again 297 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.799 or two Stephens, same. 298 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.039 Kind of deal. 299 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:15.759 Right. You could have kind of moved him in every 300 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.399 now and again for three, four or five minutes. You 301 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.960 let him get in for o'waka or whomever. 302 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.360 But he didn't. 303 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.679 It's the thing is how many softies did you have 304 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:27.200 this schedule in the second half? 305 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.559 And none? None? So what do you do? Yeah? But 306 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.120 again I don't know who else you bring in? That's 307 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.919 the problem you know they had they have. Stephens is 308 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.080 the only one really played barely. You know, did he 309 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.320 really want to bring him in in a situation where 310 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.440 they need to fill a couple of minutes? 311 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.240 I suppose sometimes how that's how great players are made too, 312 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.120 And this is this is a different sport in a 313 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.360 different atmosphere. 314 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.879 But you think about Tua. 315 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.720 He comes into the National Championship the second half and 316 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.639 has a great game. Yeah, yeah, and sometimes you got 317 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.679 to take that risk. Sure is there a two on 318 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:00.000 the bench? 319 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:00.639 We don't think so. 320 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.039 I'm just saying there. 321 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.120 Maybe we might find out, well, we might have to 322 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:08.519 find out. 323 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.279 Let's take a break.
