Speaker 2: the p word passion. Give me somebody that has passion

Speaker 5: Their next game this Thursday at Kansas State five thirty.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the breaking news from basketball today is this is

Speaker 2: in the top twenty five.
Speaker 5: No, they took on UCF this Saturday, one eighty eight
Speaker 5: to eighty. Obviously, we talked about Tommy Lloyd not being happy.

Speaker 2: Nine o'clock. Yeah, I thought it was eight o'clock. Now
Speaker 2: I get to sleep less now. But you know, so
Speaker 2: they played twenty five Baylor, that would mean that I
Speaker 2: think that they have a chance and knock got three
Speaker 2: number twenty top twenty five teams in a row.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cincinnatis three out of four.
Speaker 2: Three. I'm sorry because there was yeah the last which
Speaker 2: is well yeah, well the three three for three in

Speaker 7: and it's just the two of us in there.
Speaker 3: Plus one of the gentlemen. So this guy comes over.
Speaker 3: I don't think he wanted to bother Julius per se,
Speaker 3: but you know, he says, Bob, how you doing something great?
Speaker 7: Is that really?
Speaker 3: Julius Irving? And so Julius says, and nice to meet you.
Speaker 3: And he said, what do you guys doing at Billa
Speaker 3: je In at eight o'clock at night? I said, man,
Speaker 3: we want some cakes?
Speaker 6: What year was this?
Speaker 2: What year is this?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, this is this is more it's more than a
Speaker 3: few years ago, because that billage In has been gone
Speaker 3: for a long time.
Speaker 7: Right across with the dinosaur is at McDonald Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: I know exactly where you're talking about it. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's cool. That's cool. So you were a rookie, You
Speaker 2: were rookie and he brought you in and and.
Speaker 6: Stay that way. How were how were those times back then?
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what I learned quickly that in
Speaker 3: the rectangle, you know, basketball court is a rectangle that
Speaker 3: on the court or in the rectangle, he's doctor J.
Speaker 3: I saw him do things and practice.
Speaker 7: It in games that you just shake your head at.
Speaker 3: But off the court he's Julius. And at the time
Speaker 3: he was the iconic person for the whole league. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's the reason there was a merger between the a
Speaker 3: BA and the NBA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely right, he was. He's the reason. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what you know, growing up because I was
Speaker 2: in high school at that time. The uh it the
Speaker 2: fact that he was so humble when you had so
Speaker 2: many people out there that weren't and even now in
Speaker 2: the league, you know, you sit there and you compare
Speaker 2: some of the some of the showboating to what he
Speaker 2: did and who didn't want to be doctor J. Who
Speaker 2: didn't want to be Doctor J. Everyone wanted to be
Speaker 2: Doctor J.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: One of the things that so My wife is the
Speaker 3: only person through my parents to watch me play competitive
Speaker 3: basketball junior, high, high school, college, pro. And so I
Speaker 3: get drafted by the Sixers. She doesn't see me for
Speaker 3: about maybe six weeks. Then I get released by the
Speaker 3: Sixers and we go over to Italy and the first
Speaker 3: game in Italy, I come out games over and she says,
Speaker 3: what was that? I said, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: She said, no, no, no, what was that?
Speaker 7: You never went to the hole? Take it off, the dribble,
Speaker 7: dunking on folks, floating through the air.
Speaker 3: What was that?
Speaker 7: I don't know what you talk about? But she said, no, no, no,
Speaker 7: you have picked up some stuff from Julius.
Speaker 3: And you know, the great ones make everybody better. The
Speaker 3: great ones make everybody better.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Have you ever asked her who's your favorite NBA player?
Speaker 6: And she says, well, of course, doctor j.
Speaker 7: Yeah. That's a lot of kids, so I mean, and you.
Speaker 3: Know, the younger kids might not know him as well.
Speaker 3: You know, hopefully all they gotta do is google him.
Speaker 3: They'll see his highlights and he would be great in
Speaker 3: today's game the way that that.
Speaker 7: He can, you know, go to the hole and float
Speaker 7: and with social media. I mean some of his dunks
Speaker 7: in games are like just ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, explain to us, are you talking about
Speaker 2: since Thursday night? Where when are people able to get
Speaker 2: there and go see what's the situation?
Speaker 3: Well, at this point we are basically sold out. TUSIGN
Speaker 3: has really responded, as they have with the museum. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, and so we'll be at Palibverti High School
Speaker 3: at six o'clock. But a lot of people have called
Speaker 3: us or emailed us and said, well, we're just going
Speaker 3: to show up. And you know, since we're tied to
Speaker 3: you of a foundation, we don't sell tickets. Everything is
Speaker 3: about donations, and so some people are just going to
Speaker 3: show up and see if we've got a couple more seats.
Speaker 3: And it's like, well, if you do that, you know
Speaker 3: you take a risk. But at the same time, you
Speaker 3: just never know. I mean, how many times are you
Speaker 3: gonna get opportunity to see and listen to Julius Irving
Speaker 3: right there? And part of reason why we do it.
Speaker 3: At Palaverti High School, they have about three or four
Speaker 3: years ago they renovated their auditorium. It seats twelve.
Speaker 7: Hundred and two but there's not a bad seat in
Speaker 7: the whole place.
Speaker 3: You know, we probably could have sold more people to
Speaker 3: go in there, like if you go like to the
Speaker 3: Centennial Hall where it holds twenty five hundred.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I've.
Speaker 3: Always felt like for a fireside chat, it needs to
Speaker 3: be personal. It needs to be something that you feel
Speaker 3: like you can just reach out and touch somebody and
Speaker 3: you can make eye contact with the people on the stage.
Speaker 3: You can't do that for the second half of the
Speaker 3: seating at Centennial Hall, right.
Speaker 6: Well, the last time you were.
Speaker 3: No by at PALAVERTI you can be in the top
Speaker 3: row of Palaverty and you feel like you can reach
Speaker 3: out and like you're really there. So it really lends
Speaker 3: itself to a fireside chatron Well, the last time.
Speaker 6: You did this, who set the loft?
Speaker 2: I think the loft was it with the student with
Speaker 2: students' daughter stay Stacy, And it was fantastic. He was
Speaker 2: fantastic because of the people you brought her in, which
Speaker 2: is she was fantastic, very lively, very bubbly, very bright
Speaker 2: U And then you some of the guys that you
Speaker 2: were your teammates with of some past guys, which was
Speaker 2: fantastic because of what is it going to be similar
Speaker 2: to that?
Speaker 3: It'll be similar, you know. This would be the fourth
Speaker 3: of our fireside Chats series. Two years ago we brought
Speaker 3: in Ruby Bridges, and school kids know Ruby Bridges most
Speaker 3: some adults may or may not. But Ruby Bridges is.
Speaker 7: The person in that Norman Rockwell painting iconic where there's
Speaker 7: a six year old black girl.
Speaker 3: Being escorted to school by four large white federal marshalls.
Speaker 3: She integrated the New Orleans school system in that series,
Speaker 3: and then that started integration throughout the WHO. So in
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty when she did that, it was November fourteenth,
Speaker 3: which is why across all across the US, November fourteenth
Speaker 3: has walked to school with Ruby Day. And there's over
Speaker 3: half a million people that will participate and did participate
Speaker 3: back on November fourteenth. And so we had Ruby Bridges
Speaker 3: here two years ago.
Speaker 7: Then we had.
Speaker 3: Stacy Snowden, Coach Snowden's daughter, and we did that one
Speaker 3: at the Loft.
Speaker 7: Which seats three hundred and seventy two. Then we go
Speaker 7: back to the.
Speaker 3: Palaverdi for Carlota Walls. She was one of the Little
Speaker 3: Rock nine, those nine high school students that integrated Central
Speaker 3: High School. So she was the third one and now
Speaker 3: Julius will be the fourth one in our fire side
Speaker 3: Chat series.
Speaker 2: Very nice and explain the proceeds and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: because that's all tied together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the proceeds go to the museum, so we
Speaker 3: can continue to have events, continue to provide artifacts.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: One of the things we do because you know, Tucson
Speaker 3: is really a poor town anytime. The average income family
Speaker 3: of four is forty six thousand a year.
Speaker 7: So what we do at the museum is we do
Speaker 7: not charge people to come to the museum. We do
Speaker 7: not charge people if they.
Speaker 3: Sign up for the newsletter, because you want people to
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to learn about some.
Speaker 7: Of this history that we've accumulated, some things that go
Speaker 7: on here in Tucson.
Speaker 3: And southern Arizona. But one of my favorite stories is
Speaker 3: about Quincy Douglas. Now, maybe you know about the Quincy
Speaker 3: Douglas Center over about thirty six and Campbell. Quincy Douglas
Speaker 3: was living in South Park area and the people there
Speaker 3: were saying it was tough to get to school, are
Speaker 3: going to go to work, et cetera. So she goes
Speaker 3: to Jim Klicks senior Boompom said, can you give me
Speaker 3: a couple of vans, teach a couple of guys how
Speaker 3: to drive these.
Speaker 7: Vans so we can take people to work.
Speaker 3: Then it grew and it grew some more to the
Speaker 3: point where the city of Tucson took it over.
Speaker 7: That's Sun tran.
Speaker 3: Quincy Douglass started the bus.
Speaker 7: System for Tucson, and people need to know that.
Speaker 6: Who talk a little more about this museum? Where is it,
Speaker 6: where what sort of things you have? Yet?
Speaker 2: How popular has it been since it's really new, really new?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we opened up January fourteenth of two. This will
Speaker 3: be our two year anniversary coming up tomorrow. As I
Speaker 3: look at my watch and see the date, we've had
Speaker 3: over seven thousand people go through that museum in these
Speaker 3: two years now. Just to give you a reference point,
Speaker 3: the State Museum with you know, across the street on campus,
Speaker 3: they might get.
Speaker 7: Two thousand in a year.
Speaker 3: We've had over seven thousand people go through there. The
Speaker 3: response has been phenomenal, The supports in the community has
Speaker 3: been phenomenal, and there's been some national programs that we've
Speaker 3: had and exhibits like one that came up back in October.
Speaker 3: It's called a slave story. So this lady in Peoria,
Speaker 3: Arizona contacted my wife who's the executive director of the museum,
Speaker 3: and says, I have the manuscript from my third great grandfather.
Speaker 7: Who was a slave.
Speaker 3: He actually kept a diary of everything that was going on,
Speaker 3: from how he ate, how his clothes were, and everything.
Speaker 3: We took that and turned it into almost like an
Speaker 3: audio book. And Larry Starks, who's the president of the
Speaker 3: Juneteenth Festival here in town, he ended up doing the voiceover.
Speaker 3: It goes national to the point where CNN USA today.
Speaker 3: Then we started getting proclamations for like Senator Warnock, Congressman
Speaker 3: Clyde Burne, Congresswoman I leave it went national because here's
Speaker 3: a chance to hear and see how an actual slave
Speaker 3: was living back then.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, now the impact that has must have been strong,
Speaker 2: very strong.
Speaker 6: Now it's done.
Speaker 2: You guys have done a great job, both all the
Speaker 2: vision and things like that, and how much more you
Speaker 2: guys have in store right coming up?
Speaker 3: We're the key is to keep it moving right. Luckily
Speaker 3: with some of the contacts that we have. So so
Speaker 3: if you notice the first three fireside chats for all women,
Speaker 3: So I'm like beb we got to bring a guy
Speaker 3: up in here.
Speaker 7: Come on now, So Julius, Julius and Bev.
Speaker 3: And I and and and his wife to read about
Speaker 3: six steven months ago. We're at dinner together and Julius
Speaker 3: gets the newsletter and he said, you know what, I
Speaker 3: want to do something to help the museum. And so
Speaker 3: Bed was like, hey, you know, if you can come
Speaker 3: in and do one of our firesid chests, I think
Speaker 3: that'd be great. It'd be great for the museum, it'd
Speaker 3: be great for two times.
Speaker 7: And so he agreed to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no questions, no questions. And you're right, you're right
Speaker 2: there in the student center, right at you of eight.
Speaker 7: Correct, Yes, yeah, we're in the student union.
Speaker 3: Right up literally a stone throw away from the bookstore.
Speaker 3: So most people think of there's a second street parking
Speaker 3: garage just north of the student union. If you come
Speaker 3: out of the garage and start walking, you see a Starbucks.
Speaker 3: Walk a few more steps, you see the bookstore. Go
Speaker 3: a few more steps. You're heading towards the mall, but
Speaker 3: don't go that far. Look to your left, that's exactly
Speaker 3: where we are, right across from the food court.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll see you there tomorrow. Yeah, you'll go You're
Speaker 2: gonna go by because you're your teaching there all the time.
Speaker 6: So I stop. But the thing the.
Speaker 3: Normal yeah, normal hours or Wednesday through Saturday from ten
Speaker 3: to four.
Speaker 2: Ten to four, okay, cool, cool, But the thing on
Speaker 2: Thursdays at Pally Pelaverti six o'clock, it starts, and there's
Speaker 2: pretty much scarce right now, Bob. Let me let me
Speaker 2: say something real quick. Somebody called on Friday into the
Speaker 2: show and we were talking about I don't know, something
Speaker 2: random and some guy says, you know what, I miss Steve.
Speaker 2: And it was an older gentleman says, I missed the
Speaker 2: days of Bob Elliott and Dave sitting give me play by,
Speaker 2: give me game stories. And I think, God, that's really
Speaker 2: a bad long TI reference. It's a long time ago.
Speaker 2: And he says, yeah, that was you know, late late eighties,
Speaker 2: early nineties probably, And I said, you know what about
Speaker 2: Coach Larson was part of that group, you know, And
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I need to hear the story again, and
Speaker 2: we'll talk about Dave real quick. But because he's been
Speaker 2: gone now almost eleven year or little more than eleven years.
Speaker 2: But the story, the story about the Utah game and
Speaker 2: the bomb. I think people haven't heard that in ages.
Speaker 7: So this would be my I think it's a junior year.
Speaker 6: I think you have to I think you have to
Speaker 6: clean it up too, if I could remember.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember his junior or senior year. And
Speaker 3: we're up in Utah. We had a wound heck of
Speaker 3: a rivalry with them, and so with about two minutes
Speaker 3: left in the game, they're up about fifteen. Okay, they're
Speaker 3: handing us the business pretty well, and there's a timeout
Speaker 3: and the PA announcer comes on and says.
Speaker 7: Ladies and gentlemen, at the.
Speaker 3: Conclusion of tonight's game, please leave as quickly as possible.
Speaker 3: A bomb threat has been called into this arena. And
Speaker 3: I looked at Coach Slowton.
Speaker 7: I said, Coach, did you hear that?
Speaker 3: Y'all can stay here if you want to. I'm out
Speaker 3: of here. And so I grabbed my stuff and I
Speaker 3: said walking and coaches like Bobby, I said no, okay,
Speaker 3: And then a matter of fact, Miss Snowdon heard me
Speaker 3: talking to coach, said if Bobby's leaving, I'm leaving. And
Speaker 3: everybody said, we just walking up and leaving. Do you care?
Speaker 3: I don't care what the score is a bomb thread.
Speaker 3: We're right of here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course, of course that's a great story. That's
Speaker 6: street story. And real quick, just.
Speaker 2: Remembering Dave sitting, you know, eleven years ago, one of
Speaker 2: the great guys in this community, and it just kind
Speaker 2: of random. Dude just called I missed those days, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure you missed those days too.
Speaker 7: I miss my man.
Speaker 3: See, people don't realize Dave and I came to U
Speaker 3: of A at the same time August of nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 3: We were both living in Braham Hall because the basketball
Speaker 3: players were on the first floor, the baseball players.
Speaker 7: Were on the second floor.
Speaker 3: And that's back in the day when nobody really had
Speaker 3: a TV in their room, so we had to go
Speaker 3: down to the TV room where everybody could go in there.
Speaker 3: And Star Trek was the thing.
Speaker 7: So we'd all be around here together watching Star Trek.
Speaker 3: And so Dave and I go back to nineteen seventy three,
Speaker 3: then you start growing up together, living in Tucside community together.
Speaker 3: Both of us are Catholic. We have our stories about
Speaker 3: how we were the group that when we were ten
Speaker 3: years old, they taught you the whole Mass in Latin
Speaker 3: and before you got a chance to be an altar boys.
Speaker 7: They switched it to English.
Speaker 3: Then you got the stories of you know, taking a
Speaker 3: little sip of the wine in the back because you
Speaker 3: know they're just sitting around there, laying around. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, we go back and it's like, I think
Speaker 3: what people saw when we were broadcasting together.
Speaker 7: We're two guys.
Speaker 3: Who genuinely like each other, loved being together and were
Speaker 3: like family.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, the good old days.
Speaker 2: And I remember traveling with you guys in a car
Speaker 2: snowing new Portland and Dave driving. Oh god, I thought
Speaker 2: I was gonna die.
Speaker 3: No question, it's driving. Okay, here's my Dave's story. You know,
Speaker 3: so Dave, everybody knows hardcore American, hardcore Republican. Okay, So
Speaker 3: we're gonna drive after a game from Pullman, Washington, up
Speaker 3: back to the hotel in Spokane. It's a two lane
Speaker 3: road and people know that that particular area.
Speaker 7: Let's just put this way.
Speaker 3: Mark Furman, the police officer from the O. J.
Speaker 7: Simpson trial, was a season ticket holder at Washington State. Okay,
Speaker 7: let's just call it like that enough to know.
Speaker 3: So there are four cars in this caravan.
Speaker 7: Now here's where I made a mistake. I was driving.
Speaker 7: I should not have been driving. Hindsight's twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: But we were the second of the four cars, speed
Speaker 3: limits fifty five. We're probably going sixty two. And we
Speaker 3: passed this police officer and I look at my review
Speaker 3: mirror and here he comes, and I'm like, okay, why
Speaker 3: is he coming. He tells me to pull over, and
Speaker 3: I'm watching his body language, and I said, Dave, listen
Speaker 3: to me, don't say anything, don't do anything, and keep
Speaker 3: your hands on the I got my hands on the
Speaker 3: steering wheel. You put your hands on on the on
Speaker 3: the up here right. Police officer goes to inside and
Speaker 3: Dave right away, Officer, what's the problem, you know? I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, he's gonna freaking get us thrown him
Speaker 3: sail and so and so. The guy says, I know
Speaker 3: I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 7: I'm talking to him.
Speaker 3: I want his driver's license and insurance car talking about me,
Speaker 3: So I give it to him. God goes back. He
Speaker 3: comes back to say, you were spading, wrote me up
Speaker 3: for going seventy five?
Speaker 7: Whoa in a fifty five? Wow?
Speaker 3: And Dave said I wanted I said, Dave, don't you
Speaker 3: say a freaking thing.
Speaker 7: We getting.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get back on the road, and that's it.
Speaker 3: And I said, Dave, would you just experience is what's
Speaker 3: known as d w B driving while black and and
Speaker 3: and Dave said, if I hadn't experienced it, I never
Speaker 3: would have really believe that this goes.
Speaker 7: On, he said, But I experienced it.
Speaker 3: I actually said the same story at its center.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember that. I remember. I think it was
Speaker 2: part of my book too, one of my books. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I remember very well. Well one it's terrible. But but
Speaker 2: in his experience in pullment is exactly how would discritch.
Speaker 2: It rings snowy, kind of tow wing highway. You gotta

Speaker 2: Or maybe Green is already out of the league. Houston
Speaker 2: morn Yeah.
Speaker 4: He's mora very very little.
Speaker 5: That's where my head was going, just because of the
Speaker 5: but you probably don't have a guy that the way
Speaker 5: that the way he used to pass.
Speaker 6: Well, that's thinking about it.
Speaker 2: You can come up with aspects like okay, this way
Speaker 2: dunk or the way he flew or the way shot
Speaker 2: way and the way he just moved. But yeah, the
Speaker 2: way he moved. I don't know if there's anybody man.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, they they talked about the iceman
Speaker 2: George like that they talked about but there were just
Speaker 2: how many elements but they were parts of parts of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, no one had all the things that he had.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's absolutely right. It's like, well, that's the
Speaker 2: reason why the a BA and the NBA merged is
Speaker 2: because they were going to steal darker even even like
Speaker 2: with the magic, like you know who's who's you know,
Speaker 2: he could pass. Obviously he did what he did. UH
Speaker 2: and and the doctor And that's why I was a
Speaker 2: Sixer fan. Moses Malone when they dudes the Lakers six
Speaker 2: Ers UH championship series is pretty underrated. Eighty one I
Speaker 2: think it was any well, eighty eighty was eighty one,
Speaker 2: ay two maybe too the but it's like that series,
Speaker 2: you know that six Ers won, uh after the Lakers
Speaker 2: one the verse year that magic was there and then
Speaker 2: the next year they played the sixtuers is like Moses
Speaker 2: Malone Barkley actually joined them. That's where Jay comes up
Speaker 2: underneath Kareem and yeah there was something. Yeah, Darryl Dawkins,
Speaker 2: Darl Dawkins, chocolate thunder. Yeah, good gold days, the good
Speaker 2: old days. You're gonna tell tell us about this text
Speaker 2: message or you?
Speaker 3: No? No?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's like it's like, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 6: be the best.
Speaker 2: No no, no, okay, So we were talking about Sean
Speaker 2: Sean Tommy and his speech and his you know, rat
Speaker 2: for a few hours. So it's for a few minutes.
Speaker 2: Here's the guy who consists. The thing that you have
Speaker 2: to realize is that that post game press conference after
Speaker 2: the c F you game was pre planned with Baylor
Speaker 2: coming up. Lloyd knows exactly or needs what he needs
Speaker 2: to know the effort or wants to see the effort.
Speaker 2: This should fire up us prior to the game. Great
Speaker 2: motivation speech. Lloyd knows exactly what he's saying and why. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: well if it was, that's very he's a good coach.
Speaker 2: You've been very uh insightful for the kicking that he
Speaker 2: needed to do. They also needed it they also needed it.
Speaker 4: Whoever, Arizona's playing after you see if they needed that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well he needed to know that in your hair,
Speaker 6: so you were It's like, holy moly, yeah, give me coffee.
Speaker 3: They need to know.
Speaker 6: That wasn't a great effort. You got to play forty minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I guess. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: And it's funny people say this, Oh, that's a learning lesson,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. How many learning you teach kids? How
Speaker 2: many learning lessons do you need to learn? They're they're
Speaker 2: not gonna learn that. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 7: It is what it is.
Speaker 2: It is it is because they're just like, you're gonna
Speaker 2: get out there, They're gonna be up by ten. They're
Speaker 2: gonna be like on two minutes left. Okay, yeah, well
Speaker 2: I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 6: It's funny because.
Speaker 2: Well that's just athletes who are good usually are I mean,
Speaker 2: just yeah, it's like when I hear all the time,
Speaker 2: when I get it on my in my stories, when
Speaker 2: I write it this, Well they got that. At least
Speaker 2: they got the loss over over with it better now
Speaker 2: than in March. That's not going to prevent them from.
Speaker 6: Losing in March. No, I have nothing to do with it,
Speaker 6: and they didn't do with.
Speaker 2: Anything because guess what, they'll eventually lose in March. So
Speaker 2: we'll see the good thing right now, one and maybe two.
Speaker 2: Three weeks ago, Arizona was not in the projected tournament No.
Speaker 2: Sixty four to sixty eight teams. They were like last
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, now they maybe eight nine seed by some
Speaker 2: bachnology has because.
Speaker 5: You expect Arizona to if not went out at home,
Speaker 5: maybe one two losses at home.
Speaker 2: If they go nine and one, eight and two, that's
Speaker 2: gonna be okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, especially because they already have a road sweep
Speaker 5: under their belt, and I see them winning more on
Speaker 5: the road, right at least I think I think they
Speaker 5: can get three on the road.
Speaker 2: They keep playing like this and or they get even better.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, well they get some opportunities. Here's
Speaker 2: your problem ahead, Oh, here's here's your problem. The other
Speaker 2: team has to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're gonna vote yeah,
Speaker 2: they actually get Arizona, Oh we could beat this team
Speaker 2: this in this stuff without you even evaluating the other team,
Speaker 2: right yeah, yeah, exactly. They're gonna want to win too.
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to there's teams that are gonna want
Speaker 2: to get in the tournament. Well, and I talked about
Speaker 2: this with Tommy in terms of them looking not so
Speaker 2: good on offense because it was like stuttering and very methodical,
Speaker 2: and that's not what he does that. He's just not
Speaker 2: good at it. Half court system, Well, Mike, if if
Speaker 2: I like to run and go and transition, what the
Speaker 2: hell are you gonna do to me? You're gonna try
Speaker 2: to prevent me from doing that, right, to hold the
Speaker 2: ball a little longer, slow down and people don't think
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 6: Of course that you can try to do that and
Speaker 6: guess what pro do? You be good at it? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things like going. You know
Speaker 2: why is an Arizona running because the other team doesn't
Speaker 2: let them exactly that problem. They don't let it happen.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: The other thing you do is you get them off
Speaker 2: the boards. Okay, it starts. You want to run, rebound okay,
Speaker 2: And that's the problem is that we're not doing that. Hey, doctor,
Speaker 2: it hurts when I do this, So what should I do?
Speaker 6: Don't do that?
Speaker 3: Do that?
Speaker 6: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: He talks about the starting five last week. Did your
Speaker 5: has your opinion changed?
Speaker 2: Well to the points that we try to make. I think,
Speaker 2: uh uh, it's a better starting five with a group
Speaker 2: that's sitting down, right, But why mess with this? Yeah right,
Speaker 2: why mess with what's going on? Yeah, situations?
Speaker 5: I see it all over, especially from the students, because
Speaker 5: I see that side. They want base our starting, they
Speaker 5: want Lewis starting, they want Bryant starting, And I said, well,
Speaker 5: we're winning.
Speaker 4: Why would you change it?
Speaker 6: Well, would you become the coach? Guys?
Speaker 2: You could do exactly, exactly, exactly with their with their
Speaker 2: hours of experience.
Speaker 6: Why didn't you go to math one O one first?
Speaker 2: Exactly? Thank god Lloyd has your insights. Yes, yeah, write
Speaker 2: a letter. His email is we got to go. Hey,
