Welcome to Eye on the Ball 5 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.559 here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, and 6 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:25.800 today with me is Dave Silver, the Affable. Dave's alffable affable, Yes, 7 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:27.679 and our guy Kobe. 8 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.160 Kobe, how are you good? 9 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:29.800 Are you guys? 10 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:31.600 Were you cheering the game last night? 11 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:32.000 Yes? 12 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:32.719 Great game. 13 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.079 It'll pull it out at the end. Did you have 14 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.039 any point think that it was not gonna happen? 15 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:39.840 I mean, I thought the second and half collapse would 16 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.560 happen at a point, but they cut the lead, but 17 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:44.600 then they closed out. 18 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.679 Well yeah, Dave, Yeah, I was optimistic. It was. 19 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.560 It's kind of fun just to watch the game develop. 20 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.240 And they played so well in the first half. Shot 21 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.520 what sixty in the first half, so things were going 22 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.280 pretty well. But yeah, that second half, you know, with 23 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.079 like minutes to go, sometimes you're just wondering when are 24 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:02.960 they gonna be able to hold on. 25 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.319 They made the. 26 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.200 Run and they were able to, you know, kind of 27 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.079 hold him off and hit some free throws down at 28 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.560 the end. So that was kind of nice to see 29 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.719 because that didn't happen against Houston, right. 30 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.159 So, you know, it was I'm sure. 31 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.560 They've got to be satisfied picking up, you know, a 32 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.680 victory and ending the losing streak and then looking forward 33 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:20.319 to coming home for. 34 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.439 A couple of games. Finally, I was talking to Bruce. 35 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.879 Were texting with Bruce this morning. She who's with the team? 36 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.640 No one's asked about that. Uh, that wrist injury of 37 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.040 kJ What it is? How serious it is? It's not 38 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.519 serious enough for him not to play? 39 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.319 But what is it? 40 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.280 Yeah, I mean he did just play seventeen minutes. He 41 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.439 had fouled troubles, so did Jayden last night. But you're right, 42 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.319 he seems to sometimes be favoring it. He'll grab you. Yeah, 43 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:48.879 Ause he's walking off the court. I think there was 44 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.000 one shot where he was, you know, just you know, 45 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.799 hanging on kind of with his with his left hand, 46 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.120 you know, trying to make himself feel better. But you're right, 47 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.920 it's probably not something that's going to heal during the season. 48 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.120 It might be one of these you know, surgery type 49 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.040 situations or who knows, you know, who knows. 50 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.439 How badly he's hurt. I guess we have to wait 51 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.000 to hear from them. I'm going to ask you a question. 52 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.400 This little dated now, uh four days removed. So you 53 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.719 saw Houston saw did you see the postgame interviews? 54 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:17.960 Well, I mean I've heard about them. 55 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.080 You know, everyone's talking about Tommy and his comments about 56 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:22.000 doing ki. 57 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.080 Who asked that question? 58 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.400 Or it was a random It was a random question, 59 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.319 I think. So I asked a question and then he 60 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.719 went down gentle and he went to there. Yeah, he 61 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.039 looked at a few of us. You don't believe I 62 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.360 know you believe it. We're not gonna lose. And I 63 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.719 was like, I'm thinking, where's this coming from? As he 64 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.319 was saying who's coming from? He's looking at me, and 65 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.439 I'm thinking, do you blame us after what happened? But 66 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.639 but no, in reality, where's this coming from? And is 67 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.240 that he was pissed already? One he was pissed already. 68 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.919 He never gets like that. And then some guy in 69 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.240 the back he had to be a journalism major from 70 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.120 somewhere from probably, and just kid asked the innocuously I 71 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.479 had already asked questions about free throws. He answered it 72 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.800 blah blah, blah. It's five minutes in. He asked it 73 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.199 again in a different way, and because he already had 74 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:10.960 it prepare, you know, he had his questions prepared. 75 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:11.479 He asked that. 76 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.000 He says, what do you want me to do? You know, 77 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.599 go and have them make run and make him run laps, 78 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.159 blah blah blah. And he was getting upset because you know, 79 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.719 he got questions, like he got questions. Yeah, but I 80 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.280 think Bruce, I think Bruce and I asked asked him question, 81 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.960 and he asked him. Lloyd on his get or asked 82 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.360 his kick comment after the Houston game was meant to 83 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.800 motivate his team. Maybe maybe he was gonna I was 84 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.879 getting myself juiced up. And that's pretty much what it was. 85 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.599 He was getting he doesn't lose his temper, and he did. 86 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.680 He did throughout some of that. It was just different, 87 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.919 but he did. He's done something like that a while back. 88 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.039 I think after they got beat or they got be 89 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.240 he said, we're gonna have to get tougher because you know, yeah, 90 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:53.919 you remember that. 91 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.159 It's also too from some of the stuff I was 92 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.759 reading this morning, was that he never really talked to 93 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.439 the team about that, Like, you know, he never really 94 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.560 referred to his own guys saying, oh, you're you know, 95 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.639 kind of like that message never never really was. 96 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.439 It wasn't I know it was it was. It was 97 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.040 it was people like us exactly. That's why I'm asking 98 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.240 you because I can't remember. Maybe Luke did it a 99 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.680 couple of times, and I'm sure Sean did now and again, 100 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.079 I just can't remember where he. Sean used us all 101 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.240 the time to get messages across because he he was purposeful. 102 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.800 He knew what he was saying, he knew exactly where 103 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.839 he wanted to go with it. Hey, how's that red sky? 104 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.240 Well it's actually blue. You know, he kind of direct 105 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.839 the answer to his own liking. But do you remember 106 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:39.519 anything like that? 107 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.839 Yeah, I mean we used to. You could always tell 108 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.240 when lut would do it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It 109 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:45.879 was great at doing that kind of stuff. 110 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:46.839 And now. 111 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.959 I'm just I'm just wondering, you know, how the messages received, 112 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.120 Who's who's looking to the players. Even the players even check, 113 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.279 you know, over the course of these last couple of days, 114 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.800 and they looking at the social media to see what 115 00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:58.759 their coach has to say. 116 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.759 I don't know, because the and that's when people are 117 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.279 asking me. To me, I was misdirected anger because you 118 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.240 know how to use that with his guys, you'd get 119 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.040 it right. They'd get it right for us, What the 120 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.680 hell do we care? In all honesty, He's and i'd 121 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.079 like Tommy a ton, I like, I just finished right 122 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.600 in his Father of the Year story. 123 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.600 But I just found it kind of strange. It came 124 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.079 out of like where is that coming from? Yeah, well 125 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.040 it made news. It made news, you know, maybe on. 126 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.879 A slow news day. And they played it last night. 127 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.199 They played it on right after the game. They went 128 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.519 to SVP. Yeah, they and they're talking about it. So yeah, 129 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.279 I mean it was It was definitely a motivational thing. 130 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.959 But who knows if it motivated the players. Probably not 131 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.319 if they're not watching it or don't really care. I'm 132 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.480 sure they do somehow. The families, i mean, people see 133 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:42.920 that stuff. 134 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.319 Sure, and that's kind of the way you know, communication 135 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.399 works these Yeah, yeah, yeah, no question, because the tweets 136 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.519 and the and the social media and people, you know, 137 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.959 fans you know, just go on Facebook after any game 138 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.959 and all of a sudden or even during games, well, 139 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.000 which is even dumber in my opinion. 140 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.759 Well, no question, last night was one of another. Every 141 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.079 game is a dumber thing because you have people tweeting 142 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.720 about the game who are no disrespect to you. Whoever, 143 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.040 whatever they do for a living, they just don't do this, 144 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.560 you know what I'm saying. And it's coming out of 145 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.480 left field and blah blah blah, and what are. 146 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:17.879 You getting this? 147 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.639 But this is the way they communicate, right, It's like 148 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.959 people are people stupid like me and maybe you when 149 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.319 you're watching it, where are you coming from with this? 150 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:27.720 Yeah? 151 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.519 And the kids aren't walked, especially during the game with 152 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.279 this guy Jim Jim Bob Broke. 153 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.879 I mean with three minutes left, Yeah, I mean, I 154 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.839 can you know if you want to be the uh 155 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.720 you know, the game recapper after the game, whoever you are, 156 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.279 I'll give you that. You at least you're trying, but 157 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.079 to do things just throw something out in the middle 158 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.240 of the game. I've never understood it. Yeah, what's going on? 159 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.120 Why are they losing by twenty points right now? And 160 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.720 it's you know, the game is in the second half. 161 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.120 The sad one is it made you look to me, 162 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.120 made you look also maybe want delete that person from 163 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.120 my I've done that, Yeah, I've done that.

Okay, 185 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.920 if they can just win two games, there'll be a 186 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:54.959 three seed or whatever. 187 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.920 And then it's what does it matter?

But when I got married, I didn't go in 190 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.519 thinking out get a divorce, and I surely didn't think 191 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.079 that I would think ten years ahead and say I 192 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.519 wonder if I'm still gonna be happy? You know, you 193 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.720 know they don't enjoy the moment. They don't know how 194 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.600 to join the moment. Yeah, that's true. 195 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.519 And then when you get to the moment and you lose, 196 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:21.959 it's our hell breaks loose. 197 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.839 Yeah, you're talking about the fans now, the fans now, yes, yes, sure, 198 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.639 it's yeah. I mean it's part of gosh, you know, 199 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.839 as I'm sitting here getting older and watching these games 200 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.759 and thinking this has been going on for like thirty 201 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.159 five forty years, I mean, and the anxiety and stuff. 202 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.519 You say that because you've been here that time. I 203 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.279 guarantee you is before that. Now we just get to 204 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.879 see it in real time, you know, because it used 205 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.879 to be, Dave, you want to go grab a beer 206 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.279 in like nineteen seven, nineteen eighty three day you want. 207 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:51.919 To go grab a beer. 208 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.840 Okay, let's go to I'm just rusties for somewhere and 209 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.120 we're sitting in the corner and some dude under the 210 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:57.559 booth is. 211 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.399 Saying God, God, dam sucks. You know that's where you 212 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:00.879 would hear it. 213 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.519 Yeah, you wouldn't hear it here right or on the radio, 214 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.279 on social media and stuff like that. Yeah, and now 215 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.080 there's there's so much, just so much chatter. It's it's really, 216 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.000 it's really hilarious. I try to during games, like I 217 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.759 said to you earlier we were sitting there, guy, I 218 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.279 like to turn the sound off and sometimes just watch 219 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.279 it and don't get affected by the crowds and the 220 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.240 noise and just just kind of it makes. 221 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.120 It a little more relaxing. 222 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.000 Here's another thing I think about that, which is I 223 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.120 think is a perfect thing. So so people complain, Oh, 224 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.919 the announcers they say this and say that, and like Bill, 225 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.120 when Bill was doing it, and everybody either hate hted 226 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.759 him or really loved him. And I would say, what 227 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.799 do you do when you go to the actual game? 228 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.240 Do you watch a TV? Did listen to what they're saying? 229 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.799 Or do you actually just watch the game? You can't 230 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:47.919 do that in front of your TV and just turn 231 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.600 it off and watch the game. Yeah, because you're just 232 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.480 watching the game. It's it's hard, it's hard to block 233 00:09:55.639 --> 00:10:00.240 things out. There's some sports, no big deal baseball, know, 234 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.200 sound up, fine, listen to the game. I mean, that's 235 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.759 kind of a perfect game for radio or for noise 236 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.399 or for sound, but sometimes, you know, you just don't 237 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.440 want to listen to it. I don't know if other 238 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.039 fans feel the same way. And it wasn't so much 239 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.120 Bill Walton, who I. 240 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.360 Got a kick out of, to be honest with you, 241 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.000 and I think a lot of people did. But just 242 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.639 in general, sometimes it's like I just watched this thing quietly. 243 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.639 Yeah, just watch it and watch because you want to 244 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.639 watch basketball, Yeah, and watch it and just see how 245 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:24.559 it plays out. Yeah. 246 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.440 So here we are the right of the ship at 247 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.799 least for now. And then they have a couple of 248 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.080 gimmes coming up which they should win. I don't want 249 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.159 to look forward like you were talking about, but but 250 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.519 you know, capable and then and then of course Iowa 251 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.120 State and then a issue and then Kansas. 252 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:40.799 Yeah. 253 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.559 So I mean it's you know, it's it's sitting there 254 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.960 right for them if they can whatever get four wins 255 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.320 out of that. 256 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.840 Yeah, four wins. Yes, it's five games, six games, yeah, 257 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.759 but they they got to go to they go. 258 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.000 To to five games, so five games, four games even 259 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.200 three three of them are home. Yeah, so get those 260 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.360 three for sure, maybe steal one on the road with 261 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.320 Iowa State or Kansas, yep, Kansas possible. 262 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.159 Kansas is definitely beatable this year. 263 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.159 Right, and then you get ready for the pack the 264 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.559 Big twelve tournament, and then the tournament and then guess what, 265 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.399 all bets are wrong? 266 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.600 Then everything that happened doesn't matter. 267 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.879 Just so crazy about college basketball, right, what doesn't matter? 268 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.039 What do you make of them thinking about going to 269 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.039 one hundred and two teams. 270 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.759 Seventy seventy two? 271 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.399 Yeah, you know what I'm saying, they're going to eventually 272 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.799 if they're talking about it, like eventually, you're. 273 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:39.759 Right, you know, there's certainly enough interest in that tournament. 274 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.440 It's it's a great month. Does it make it less 275 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.480 exclusive or yeah? I mean you're bringing in a couple 276 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.000 of teams and maybe wouldn't wouldn't be there normally. 277 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.159 Right, but you know the normal what what's the purpose twelve? 278 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:53.360 See money?

I mean, it's tight the 281 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:58.639 way it is now. 282 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.759 I'm sure they'll there is, and there's two more games 283 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.879 won't extend a weekend? 284 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:08.039 Yeah, they'll do something maybe on Wednesday, possibly, I don't know. 285 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.399 If they can do that.
