Yeah, to almost every year you losing 44 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.479 half of your all of your roster. 45 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.000 What the hell is happening? I think that's the that's 46 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.599 the overriding question, what the hell is happening? And no 47 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.520 one has answered. I know they have answers to that, 48 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.520 you're not going to get them. Yeah, right, Yeah, I don't. 49 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:26.680 I don't have any answers. 50 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.639 Yeah, I know there's probably a couple of players that 51 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.680 I've spoken up. I haven't seen anything. That's why I'm 52 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.360 like hesitant. So yeah, it's all very interesting, right. So 53 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.360 that's to say the least interesting is the right word. 54 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.639 And you've you and I've had this conversation about idea. 55 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.159 She's one of the most personal, reproachable people that I've 56 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.719 been around from that level, and especially if she likes you. Yeah, 57 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.199 she's made great conversations. So it just sitting there and 58 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.080 listened to her talk, so. 59 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.680 It makes no sense, but it makes perfect sense. 60 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:55.039 Yeah. 61 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.800 I feel like everything around that, like whole situation program 62 00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.319 is kind of just a lot of rumors right now. 63 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.360 Yeah, and that's what you stud about with TikTok, and 64 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.719 it's also internet, you know, Twitter and all that. Yeah. 65 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.039 Following up with some more transfer Portal news, Conrad Martinez answered. 66 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.840 Oh did what what did happen today? A couple hours? Wow? 67 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.039 I didn't see that. Uh, not that I'm surprised, but 68 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.560 I'm surprised. What do you want? Why don't you give 69 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.080 me a face? Does it matter? No? 70 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.400 Probably no, I think they're looking for that backup point 71 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:34.039 guard role. Uh and Arizona. Yeah, Arizona's looking for that 72 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.240 backup point guard. Who's going to fill that? And I 73 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.520 think we're at a point where it'd be taking a 74 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.759 chance on Martinez. I don't think they want to take 75 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.360 that chance. And he still has enough time to go 76 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.840 somewhere else and make a name for himself. 77 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.680 Yeah, probably some more smaller. But let me ask you this. 78 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.840 So we saw the game last week, great six days 79 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.560 ago against the Duke. Martinez didn't get crunch time play 80 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.439 all year, all year, and then he got some. He 81 00:03:59.520 --> 00:03:59.800 got some. 82 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.439 Yeah, I mean Bradley was in foul trouble. Yeah, absolutely, 83 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.080 But I thought he did a great job with it, 84 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.759 without question, which which lens. Why didn't he before when 85 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.599 we talked about the physicality in the Big twelve. I 86 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.360 don't know if he can. I don't know if that 87 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.519 league is a great for his talent or a skill level. 88 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.839 He did exactly what he needed to and nothing more. 89 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:21.920 He had, That's who he is. 90 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.279 He had a turnover, he made up hit three to 91 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.199 try the game. I think I think that was the tying, 92 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.519 tying basket and then goes on a six nothing running 93 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:30.800 ten seconds. 94 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.000 But I did not see this. I'm a bit surprised because, 95 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.120 well I'm a bit surprised because I thought he found 96 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.000 his place. But what do I know. 97 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.519 It's the world of nil. 98 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.120 No, I know, but I don't. Is he really going 99 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.879 to get money to play somewhere? No, but I think 100 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.199 he'll go and earn it. Yeah. 101 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.439 I don't know if he'll get money, but like once said, 102 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.040 he's going to go somewhere and play more level enough 103 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:57.839 right now where he doesn't want to settle for that 104 00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.639 maybe five minutes a game role. 105 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.160 He's not a he's not an Arizona guy. He's just 106 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.720 not right. He might be a uh. 107 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.800 New Mexico guy one hundred percent was going to say 108 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.000 New Mexico. Yeah, he strikes me as a New Mexico guy. Yeah, yeah, 109 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:12.920 Caloro State, maybe in New Mexico. 110 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.720 Yeah, boys of state, right, Medica, no harm, no foulow, 111 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.680 I mean good for you and good life. That one 112 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.240 I understand. Yeah, I mean we had this conversation. I 113 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.879 still don't. I don't understand the Henry one, like, but 114 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.800 I get it. Whatever, Well, if he ends up North 115 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.639 Carolina for more money, you'll say I get it. 116 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.399 Maybe all right? Following that out. 117 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.319 Well, here's the point with that North Carolina one. Did 118 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.879 you say North Carolinrolina is much better than us? Well, 119 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.120 it's North Carolina and they have money. Of course you're 120 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.240 gonna go. I I did an argument in the debate 121 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.079 that I've I've been making. I get in, I'm understanding 122 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.600 and getting the nil. I get it right. I mean, 123 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.519 we're all frustrated with it from a fan base. 124 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.759 I think that's across the country, no matter what, no 125 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.560 matter what school you're at, maybe if you're doing right, 126 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.279 I mean, just you're looking they're bringing in four or 127 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.759 five stars next year. It's just a retention of talent 128 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.000 that not a lot of people have capabilities. The problem 129 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.160 I have is you have somebody and Tommy Lloyd and 130 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.279 his staff that are able to develop the players at 131 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.079 the level they're able to develop them. If I'm a 132 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.480 player and they've developed me to that point, what is 133 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.120 my next Like, that's not my ceiling, that's not Henry's ceiling. 134 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.879 What's my next step to prepare me for what's going 135 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.879 to be an NBA career? Am i am I thinking 136 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.600 about short term success in a year? 137 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.279 Or am shit? 138 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.360 Am I thinking about long term success for the next 139 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.399 ten years and the possibility of playing NBA. 140 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.240 Well, remember, you're an eighteen nineteen year old kid, twenty years. 141 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.040 Old, and he's not making I'm sure he's got I'm 142 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.920 sure he's got people around him that are helping him 143 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.759 make that decision. I just mean, from my own personal life, 144 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.920 what's my happiness? Right, what's my happening? You're gonna go 145 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.720 to North Carolina. You don't know what's gonna happen North. 146 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.319 Yea, No, you're right, you're right. What's my why? Yeah? 147 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.439 So I think to add to that too, it's like 148 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.399 after after a certain point, you know, because he came 149 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.240 from Estonia, I mean, how like how much is the 150 00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.360 difference really in Estonian currency? 151 00:06:59.439 --> 00:06:59.600 Right? 152 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.879 I mean right, don't get me wrong. Difference in like 153 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.759 a million is a lot. But it's like, you know, 154 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.199 you're still making a million bucks. 155 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.439 Yeah, and we don't know how that works out too, 156 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.399 because you know, Balla left, Balla needed to go. He 157 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.639 was not going to do it. Yeah, but it was 158 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.720 good for Paula. I think that conversation. 159 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.600 I think there was a conversation behind closed doors with 160 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.879 him and Tommy Lloyd, and I think they both were agreed, 161 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.839 like it go get paid for people to come out 162 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.480 and say, oh, I don't view Ballo as a U 163 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.120 of a guy anymore. What are you talking about?

Arguably the best second basement in 192 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.000 the big leagues. Switch hitter, Yeah, great defensive player, good 193 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.600 clubhouse guy. That's a good pickup for the Diamondbacks. That 194 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.799 and then getting burns in the offseason. Okay, Yeah, it's 195 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.960 good to see that team up. Norris like not throwing 196 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000 in the towel with the Diamondbacks and out West. Uh, 197 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:53.879 it's they're going to be competitive for a long time. 198 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.000 No, And then that division is just tough. I mean, 199 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.559 you got two undefeated teams in it right now. 200 00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.519 Yeah, you got Padres, Your Giants are always going to 201 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.120 stick around the Rockies or the Rockies. But I mean, yeah, 202 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.200 I mean what Derek Hall has been able to do 203 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.440 with that team and continues to do. Lots of respect 204 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:08.919 for that man. 205 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.240 Yeah, I think it's really it's really nice to see 206 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.919 teams that don't give up after they don't win a 207 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:15.919 championship after a couple of years, like they have that 208 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.639 kind of bounce back, you where you know things are 209 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.879 a little down and then you know, fix themselves and 210 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:20.600 get right back up. 211 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.200 I mean, Ray you know this. I mean, but Steve 212 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.600 can talk to it. One can talk to it, probably 213 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:25.960 a little bit. 214 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.440 But if I'm watching my neighbor build a house that's 215 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:32.840 one hundred and forty million dollars and I'm going, am 216 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.840 I gonna try to match that house? Like I don't 217 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.720 have the money to match the house. I'm just gonna 218 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.559 move to a different neighborhood or that's going to increase 219 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.480 my property value. And I think that's what they have 220 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.799 some terrible analogy. By the way, it's it's it's what 221 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.559 the Diamondbacks are doing. They're increasing their property value right now. 222 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.799 Right They're gonna go compete their butts off with good players. 223 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.080 So yeah, for sure, all right, following that up, but 224 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.840 keeping it in Phoenix Cardinals signed Klays Campbelly yesterday. 225 00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.360 It's a one year deal. Eighteenth year in the league. 226 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:06.360 Yeah, that dude's gonna have some injury prone problems as 227 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.960 he gets older. Ten years and yeah, yeah, true. Listen, 228 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.039 that's a league. And I'm I don't know how you 229 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.759 guys feel about the NFL Players Union or association, but 230 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.120 that's the only league I think in professional sports that 231 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.200 should be guaranteed money. Maybe hockey, but the NFL. Every 232 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.919 player should be guaranteed money. What they have to put 233 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:26.440 their bodies through. 234 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.759 Sure, Sons lost yesterday. 235 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.480 Oh is that the same Sons that you talked about 236 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:34.960 last week? 237 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.399 Yeah? Yeah, they lost yesterday. 238 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.440 What have they gone since the last time we spoke, like, 239 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.519 I'd like giving you crap? Right, yeah I did, just 240 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.120 you like give it back. There were like two and seven. 241 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.120 I don't know what they could. No, it's they're on 242 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.679 a four game skid right now. Yeah, yeah, Howard, that's 243 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.279 to you. 244 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.200 You Ray, Ray, What do you think is wrong with 245 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.600 the Suns? I mean, if you look at them them 246 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.799 on paper, right, I mean, I know they're not deep 247 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.639 and they lost their depth in those trades, but what 248 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.120 is it a chemistry issue? 249 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.879 I feel like it is. 250 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.639 And then after after losing in the finals and then 251 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.200 you know, giving up that that lead, and then and 252 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.279 eventually getting blown out by the by the Mavericks a 253 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.960 couple of years ago. Yeah, you know, it just looks 254 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.879 like like they've thrown in the towel. Like also chemistry 255 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.919 stuff too, but and that, and I mean they made 256 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:23.840 it to the finals and then they fired Monty Williams, 257 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:24.519 who's their coach. 258 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.399 Listen, I I we talked. I think we talked about 259 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:32.200 this last week the court of the coaching carousel and 260 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:36.240 the in the NBA is mind theming to me. But 261 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:37.879 just to take it back, I mean, it's a similar 262 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.799 when you're talking about similar aspects with you of a 263 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.440 women's basketball team, right, they made it to the final. 264 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.200 They made it to the finals. The Suns made to 265 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.679 the finals. And then just yeah, steep. 266 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.799 Well you know this personalities you're you're a coach and 267 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.080 a player. Yeah, if you don't have the right personalities, 268 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.000 they don't fit. I don't care how much talent you have, 269 00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.720 it won't mean anything. I've seen that. I've seen that 270 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.279 a lot. Yeah, if you had one cancer too, cancers 271 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.519 your horse. You've you heard the philosophy from coach Lopez, 272 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:10.720 right one yea, yeah, of course, yeah, which is perfect. Okay, 273 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.279 Well you made a face, No, no, I was. 274 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.840 It was kind of a smirking face that you like 275 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.840 I have, of course, of course. Yeah, keeping it going. 276 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:25.159 Corey Close won the twenty twenty five nas Night Smith 277 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.200 Nice Nate Smith Women's College Coach of the Year Award. 278 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.440 Makes sense, I mean, U c l a. 279 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.879 Okay, Yeah, she's number their number one. Should be a 280 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.720 good nice final four for them too. Yeah, for everybody. Yeah. 281 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.840 Absolutely, it's gonna be an interesting one. 282 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.320 I mean, take a team, take it with a lot 283 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.320 of basketball history, maybe not on the women's side, but 284 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:43.919 take a team to the Final four for the next 285 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.399 time the first time. Following that up, Juju Watkins won 286 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:54.480 the women's college Player Nate Naismith for the Years. 287 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.200 Yeah, she's fantastic back. 288 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.480 Yeah, that's true that man, Like, I know, you can't 289 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.600 like control injuries and stuff, but man, it feels like 290 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.519 it was like sports world was robbed from seeing I 291 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.559 know they weren't gonna go gains directly each other too, 292 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.399 but like them. 293 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:10.720 It was Monday, right, it was Monday night. It was 294 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.840 a good game until it wasn't. 295 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:17.840 Yeah. Oh, Carmelo got elected to the Hall of Fame. 296 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.480 Carmela Anthony happy for him. 297 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.919 Well what, uh how many years in the NBA? Was 298 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.919 he twenty two? No? God, no, maybe sixteen maybe sixteen 299 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.120 something like that. That sounds is it? Okay? Yeah? 300 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.039 I mean I didn't get to see him on the Nuggets. 301 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:36.360 A little too young for that. 302 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.639 But speak speaking of the Nuggets, did you see the 303 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.519 sixty one point performance from Joke the Joker last night? 304 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.480 Was he the one throwing the balls from all over 305 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.240 the court and hitting shots. 306 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.799 I mean maybe, yeah, he has that ability. Yeah, but 307 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.039 it's in a losing effort. You go to double overtime 308 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.879 and you still lose. Yeah before sixty one? Yeah, sixty one? 309 00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.639 Oh good? Are they are? 310 00:13:58.679 --> 00:13:58.840 They? 311 00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:59.080 What? 312 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:00.600 Third or fourth in the in the West? 313 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.559 Forty seven and forty seven, twenty nine, they're third in 314 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.559 the third in the West. 315 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.639 Who's going to win the West? 316 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.679 I love it the look between the two of you, Like, 317 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.960 who's going to win the West? I don't why you 318 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.200 ask me, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, Like 319 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.360 over all of it, like, yeah, the West, Yeah, the 320 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.799 number one. Who's going to get the one seed in 321 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:24.039 the West. 322 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.080 Colahoma City, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're pretty Yeah, they're they're 323 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.240 stating far ahead. 324 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.440 I wouldn't rule out Denver though, coming back to take 325 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:36.320 the one seed. I think. No, I'm saying, yeah, win 326 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.600 the West. You mean I thought you could get the 327 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:38.159 one seed? No? 328 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:38.799 Yeah, no, I did. 329 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.399 I've had my eye on Houston. 330 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.200 Oh really for a good while. He must be a 331 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:49.080 heck of the coach. They're a young cores but have 332 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.639 enough experience. In my opinion, I think. 333 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.639 Their battle tested enough to win the West. 334 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.279 I think they're scrappy enough. 335 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.720 Yeah, I mean I I would agree with Steve from 336 00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.639 a Denver standpoint, just because they've been there, done it, 337 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.679 and they've got the best player in the NBA. I mean, 338 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.759 arguably the best player in the NBA. And I mean 339 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.519 maybe Oklahoma City's got the second best player in the NBA. 340 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.679 Right now, are you gonna leave us at the forty? 341 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.759 Yeah? Okay, so real quick, because give me, give me 342 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.399 some Uh, we're gonna go after this. Who you gonna 343 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.360 pick for the Final four and the championship because I'm 344 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.360 not gonna see you guys until I mean, my Brad 345 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.919 could say Houston, but if I could change them, I 346 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:26.000 would change them to Duke because they played so well. Yeah, 347 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.480 I just think. 348 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.600 I mean I've watched both teams, and I think Houston 349 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.879 still is able to find a way to win, and 350 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.559 they'll be able to punch Duke in the face a 351 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.519 little bit more. Right, But Duke's talent, I mean, I mean, 352 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.799 people talk about one player, but they've got three players. 353 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.399 They're gone a draft in the top seven, right, and 354 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.279 they're they're so deep. I don't know, I think it's 355 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.879 gonna be tough real quick. Yeah, I'd say Duke too. 356 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.960 I got Florida overall, but I think Duke, I. 357 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.759 Got Florida and Houston in the championship, and I think 358 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.679 I'm gonna go Florida. 359 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.840 That's what exactly what I have. You still keep it? 360 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.799 You still think Florida wins?
