But first episode yeah, so obviously this time of the year. It’s currently

9

00:00:48,360 –> 00:00:50,360

March 15th

10

00:00:50,360 –> 00:00:56,000

Tomorrow’s marks the start of the March Madness NCAA tournament the official bracket play

11

00:00:56,000 –> 00:01:00,360

I mean there’s already been playing games and whatnot, but this is an exciting time for sports

12

00:01:00,360 –> 00:01:05,740

You know got a lot going on NFL for agency started yesterday real baseball classic is starting to wrap up

13

00:01:05,760 –> 00:01:06,640

so

14

00:01:06,640 –> 00:01:11,720

No, there’s a lot of content to go out there, but we’re gonna kick it off with some world baseball

15

00:01:12,320 –> 00:01:14,320

classic content

16

00:01:15,160 –> 00:01:17,160

Austin you been watching a lot of games

17

00:01:17,160 –> 00:01:22,200

I’ve honestly been only watching the USA games when they’re on just because they’re at a convenient time for me

18

00:01:22,200 –> 00:01:27,280

Most of the games are on when class is going on or it’s in China. It’s at like 3 a.m.

19

00:01:27,280 –> 00:01:33,520

Yeah, so I’ve only been able to watch the USA games and yeah, that’s basically it. Yeah, I know that

20

00:01:34,480 –> 00:01:36,480

had a few

21

00:01:36,720 –> 00:01:42,180

Few games that just early I say at least one game that didn’t go the way we wanted it Mexico was not fantastic

22

00:01:42,180 –> 00:01:44,180

Randy Rosarano just continues to show up in

23

00:01:44,600 –> 00:01:46,520

big-time moments

24

00:01:46,520 –> 00:01:52,180

Made us look silly after Will Smith just absolutely denied his dapp up at the play and then Randy goes off for two or three

25

00:01:52,180 –> 00:01:57,200

extra base hits I mean blues, but I mean everyone always views the US as

26

00:01:57,640 –> 00:02:05,100

Like a top like a mecca for sports and we’re at danger of not even qualifying for like bracket play

27

00:02:06,520 –> 00:02:10,280

That’s just insane to me. I mean I know that our roster is not

28

00:02:10,920 –> 00:02:13,960

Built as good as it could be just our pitching staffs kind of weak

29

00:02:13,960 –> 00:02:16,840

I our lineup is might be one of the best ever made but

30

00:02:17,240 –> 00:02:21,680

It’s just one of those you know you go and give up a few runs like not every time is your office gonna go out

31

00:02:21,680 –> 00:02:28,880

Put up eight nine runs and then your pitching staffs also going its other great players and they’re kind of mediocre in terms of

32

00:02:29,320 –> 00:02:33,480

Major League Baseball our professional world. I mean it’s gonna be difficult

33

00:02:35,200 –> 00:02:38,520

One thing I wanted to ask you guys kind of going into this in part of my research

34

00:02:38,520 –> 00:02:45,140

I found out not really found out but apparently the US and then the only team in the world baseball classic to do this

35

00:02:45,280 –> 00:02:50,460

They are obeying the parent clubs like carnolls, you know Indian or sorry guardians

36

00:02:50,760 –> 00:02:54,880

You know brews by following their schedule for their pitchers

37

00:02:55,000 –> 00:02:58,840

So if during their training for spring training, they’re supposed to pitch on this day

38

00:02:58,840 –> 00:03:02,520

The US will pitch them that day and they I think there’s some rules like

39

00:03:02,880 –> 00:03:07,400

They can’t pitch back to back days or they can only head go so many pitches or so many innings

40

00:03:07,400 –> 00:03:11,560

And the US is the only club as far as I know that is following that routine

41

00:03:12,040 –> 00:03:18,520

So I just wanted to see what you guys thought in terms of how it impacts the games especially because I was talking with one

42

00:03:18,520 –> 00:03:24,240

Of my friends today, you know if we do make it to the quarterfinals semi-finals finals and we follow this routine

43

00:03:24,560 –> 00:03:28,320

It’s a big game like I should say two one one run game in the ninth inning

44

00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:33,320

But you can’t use Devin Williams who’s probably one of us’s best relievers closers in the game

45

00:03:34,360 –> 00:03:36,360

What are you gonna do? You’re gonna throw a

46

00:03:36,360 –> 00:03:41,120

Starter out there for the ninth inning and just lose or what what do you guys think?

47

00:03:41,120 –> 00:03:45,640

Yeah, I mean it definitely sucks and it’s it’s kind of already coming to play

48

00:03:45,640 –> 00:03:49,320

I know when we played against Mexico we lost 11 to 5 Daniel Bard was

49

00:03:49,800 –> 00:03:52,880

You had given up four runs in two-thirds of an inning

50

00:03:52,880 –> 00:03:57,480

Devin Williams comes in just to get the jam and the Brewers had a strict rule where if he finishes an inning

51

00:03:57,480 –> 00:04:01,400

He cannot come back out for another Devin Williams through one pitch and he was ineligible to come back

52

00:04:01,400 –> 00:04:02,720

Mark DeRosa could not throw him

53

00:04:02,720 –> 00:04:07,280

He was Ryan Pressley’s and which is also another all-star so I mean I guess it got away there

54

00:04:07,280 –> 00:04:12,760

But that could come into play and when it’s a lose-and-go-home game and like you said this something like this happens

55

00:04:12,760 –> 00:04:14,760

where you have to use Devin Williams and

56

00:04:15,080 –> 00:04:19,560

It’s then he’s just ineligible the next day or the Brewers say no he can’t throw this a what do you do?

57

00:04:19,840 –> 00:04:25,320

And then what happens if say by chance none of your players are eligible like you go into the championship game

58

00:04:25,320 –> 00:04:28,920

We have two pitchers available and one of them gets rocked. Are we gonna do you’re just throwing the other one out there?

59

00:04:28,920 –> 00:04:34,280

Just say oh, sorry you’re gonna have to throw the rest of the game. I mean, I don’t know how we don’t have a show

60

00:04:34,280 –> 00:04:38,040

Hey, oh time so now you just pull dude in from right field and be like hey come on just throw a shed for us

61

00:04:38,520 –> 00:04:40,520

but

62

00:04:40,560 –> 00:04:45,800

Yeah, it’s kind of unreal. I mean I wish that the US would have gotten some possibly some better pitchers

63

00:04:46,240 –> 00:04:49,600

But I mean it is what it is. I think that we still have a shot to win it

64

00:04:49,960 –> 00:04:55,480

So this just reminds me of like I mean for me, it’s kind of the two biggest international sports

65

00:04:55,480 –> 00:04:57,480

I guess for America basketball baseball

66

00:04:57,480 –> 00:05:02,360

The the teams that I guess the NBA and they’ll be don’t see it as

67

00:05:02,960 –> 00:05:08,360

International play is important because like I mean you see like the Olympics and stuff and right now like all the Olympic qualifying for

68

00:05:08,360 –> 00:05:10,360

basketball for the FIBO World Cup

69

00:05:11,520 –> 00:05:15,160

We’re playing with like amateur amateurs like mostly guys on this team

70

00:05:15,160 –> 00:05:18,160

They weren’t even like they were maybe college stars

71

00:05:18,560 –> 00:05:23,800

Most of them didn’t play like g league couple of them played overseas, but they’re very I think

72

00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:29,640

Is Aaron O’Fallow is that the best player on the team right now and he’s been out of the league for a while

73

00:05:29,640 –> 00:05:33,120

Yeah, like six years. Yeah, he’s old guy. I remember him back

74

00:05:33,680 –> 00:05:36,840

Even when he wasn’t in the league, it’s not like he was some no

75

00:05:36,840 –> 00:05:40,160

He was like he was the type of dude that go out and give you 18 a night

76

00:05:40,160 –> 00:05:44,240

No other stats no recognition like he was like he was a shot taker for bad teams

77

00:05:44,240 –> 00:05:48,240

Yeah, and so that’s also like I’m seeing cuz like I’m thinking back. I mean obviously

78

00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:54,360

The US is still one gold in the Olympics for basketball, but I’m looking at some of the like old FIBA teams

79

00:05:54,360 –> 00:05:59,360

And I mean we still got some stars, but and no shade Rudy gay is one of my favorite players

80

00:05:59,360 –> 00:06:03,560

But why is Rudy gay on like one of our like international squads?

81

00:06:03,560 –> 00:06:09,200

That’s that’s just not be the case and so this is kind of that same thing where I mean obviously a lot of the American players

82

00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:11,880

I think may have wanted to play and maybe got told no obviously

83

00:06:11,880 –> 00:06:13,880

We got some superstars on there as well

84

00:06:13,880 –> 00:06:20,440

But in terms of that pitching thing where they’re following the clubs and not allowing those guys to play when maybe they probably should

85

00:06:20,440 –> 00:06:21,960

Or making them follow a certain schedule

86

00:06:21,960 –> 00:06:25,720

Whereas again, every other country is letting their best guys go when they want them to go

87

00:06:25,880 –> 00:06:29,760

It’s just kind of showing that our teams which I understand

88

00:06:30,160 –> 00:06:35,720

The money behind it all and you want to have your best players safe and not get hurt or any that kind of thing

89

00:06:35,720 –> 00:06:37,720

But it just shows that we don’t take international

90

00:06:38,320 –> 00:06:42,640

Sports that seriously as much as we should at least in the two major sports like you look at soccer

91

00:06:42,640 –> 00:06:47,560

I mean Olympic softball I watched a lot of that like all those kinds of things all the best players want to play and they’re

92

00:06:47,560 –> 00:06:52,680

Gonna give it their all whereas these guys are and at least in these two sports obviously football is international

93

00:06:52,680 –> 00:06:55,640

I feel like we’d probably have a pretty big

94

00:06:56,400 –> 00:06:59,720

Conflict with that in terms of not wanting to get injured and hurt

95

00:06:59,720 –> 00:07:04,320

But obviously there’s not a big pull of overseas people for football. So that’s not gonna happen anytime soon

96

00:07:04,320 –> 00:07:11,680

But yeah, that’s kind of a I feel like if America really wants to maintain themselves as the top sports dogs

97

00:07:11,680 –> 00:07:13,960

We got to start taking these international things seriously

98

00:07:13,960 –> 00:07:18,600

I think part of the reason is for these I mean basketball more so than baseball baseball

99

00:07:18,600 –> 00:07:21,640

I mean like there’s a lot of good players from other countries be like basketball

100

00:07:22,080 –> 00:07:27,680

It’s there the concentration of stars in America is far greater than any other country

101

00:07:27,680 –> 00:07:31,760

Like you look at some of the best players in the NBA right now for instance are foreign

102

00:07:31,760 –> 00:07:34,440

But it’s like how many of them come from the same country you do those Olympics

103

00:07:34,440 –> 00:07:41,440

It’s like Luca might play for Slovenia or wherever the hell he’s from and he’s it’s Luca and then a bunch of nobody

104

00:07:41,440 –> 00:07:46,800

You play the NBA you’re missing your top you could be missing the top ten US players and they’re still gonna be the best team in the nation

105

00:07:46,800 –> 00:07:51,200

And I think that’s kind of the reason why some of the MLB players do that because they still think like oh

106

00:07:51,200 –> 00:07:52,000

Well, I can sit out

107

00:07:52,000 –> 00:07:57,760

But we’ve got this guy and that guy that still makes us the best team and then they’re kind of maybe a little bit of arrogance about it

108

00:07:57,760 –> 00:07:59,440

Because they’re like why would I waste my time playing in this one?

109

00:07:59,440 –> 00:08:02,640

I could get ready for a leak that really matters and the competition is far greater

110

00:08:04,280 –> 00:08:06,480

But I digress

111

00:08:06,480 –> 00:08:13,680

You were talking about football and how it’s not an international draw. I know that the NFL would like to

112

00:08:14,560 –> 00:08:16,560

continue pushing that but

113

00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:18,880

Start of the New League year happened yesterday

114

00:08:19,600 –> 00:08:22,080

Free agent deals are coming trades are coming. What do you guys?

115

00:08:22,960 –> 00:08:25,360

Anyone got any deals they like dislike?

116

00:08:25,920 –> 00:08:28,320

Can we talk about this Aaron Rogers fiasco first?

117

00:08:28,320 –> 00:08:36,320

Yes, yes, I would love to talk about it. So as Jets fans just talk about it

118

00:08:36,320 –> 00:08:39,760

I mean, I don’t know much except that he went into a darkness cave

119

00:08:40,320 –> 00:08:42,640

And he basically told the Packers he wants to go to the Jets

120

00:08:43,280 –> 00:08:49,360

And I think there was a report on the pat mac if he showed that he told pat mac that he’s going to play for the Jets in 2023

121

00:08:49,760 –> 00:08:53,920

So just wants to yeah, he’s he said that when he went to the darkness retreat

122

00:08:54,560 –> 00:08:59,680

He was 90 set on retiring which honestly looking back on it

123

00:09:00,320 –> 00:09:05,360

Like at the time I know that myself and a lot of other Jets fans were probably thinking like oh, you know what?

124

00:09:05,360 –> 00:09:08,720

We’re getting Aaron Rogers for sure. He’s gonna win a super bowl this year

125

00:09:08,720 –> 00:09:12,640

He’s gonna come over and then it’s just it keeps getting dragged out

126

00:09:12,640 –> 00:09:15,600

You know if he’s coming you know if he’s coming and people are tweeting that he’s

127

00:09:16,080 –> 00:09:21,360

That he’s like trying to decide still but like Aaron Rogers has always said don’t trust a source unless it’s Aaron Rogers

128

00:09:21,680 –> 00:09:25,680

So you just kind of keep waiting and waiting like trey wingo on monday said that the deal is done

129

00:09:25,760 –> 00:09:27,200

It’s just waiting to be official

130

00:09:27,200 –> 00:09:32,800

So that everyone gets all up in arms and excited about it and in two days go by you hear nothing until Aaron shows up on

131

00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:35,360

Pat McAfee show and just says oh, yeah, it’s my intention

132

00:09:35,920 –> 00:09:37,120

but now

133

00:09:37,120 –> 00:09:41,120

The deal that has is supposedly official and they’re just waiting for it to be

134

00:09:41,680 –> 00:09:44,400

Is not done or is done but waiting to be official

135

00:09:45,040 –> 00:09:48,560

Now Aaron Rogers says the Packers are holding up about compensation

136

00:09:48,560 –> 00:09:50,160

So it’s just one of those like

137

00:09:50,160 –> 00:09:53,280

It feels like every time someone says it’s gonna happen something else keeps popping up

138

00:09:53,280 –> 00:09:56,880

Which does make me worry a little bit, but I’m optimistic that he’ll he’ll come

139

00:09:57,600 –> 00:10:01,200

As a Jets fan, what do you think you guys will be giving up for him?

140

00:10:01,200 –> 00:10:07,680

Um, I’ve seen several different reports. I used to see like at the very beginning of all this

141

00:10:08,160 –> 00:10:09,440

uh

142

00:10:09,440 –> 00:10:11,600

I saw maybe like a first round pick and

143

00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:14,320

Maybe like a defensive player

144

00:10:14,880 –> 00:10:18,400

Later on I saw like a second round pick a fifth round in Elijah Moore

145

00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:21,920

Then I started seeing like third round pick Elijah Moore

146

00:10:22,400 –> 00:10:24,640

And just like I saw a lot of Elijah Moore trades honestly

147

00:10:24,640 –> 00:10:26,880

But I know that he wants out with the Jets say they aren’t gonna trade him

148

00:10:26,880 –> 00:10:33,120

But it felt like it went from really high compensation to low compensation and now they’re going back up to even higher compensation

149

00:10:33,120 –> 00:10:37,520

Because the Packers view him as getting a Matthew Stafford type haul

150

00:10:37,920 –> 00:10:44,240

So they’re wanting at least two first round picks. I’ve seen that they aren’t the Jets are not going to send their first round pick this year

151

00:10:45,120 –> 00:10:46,320

So I mean

152

00:10:46,320 –> 00:10:47,520

That could be something I mean

153

00:10:47,520 –> 00:10:51,280

It’s it’s not a bad year to keep a first round pick because you’ve got a lottery pick

154

00:10:51,600 –> 00:10:55,600

You don’t have to worry about quarterback if you’re getting Aaron Rogers and a lot of other teams are gonna

155

00:10:55,600 –> 00:10:57,600

There’s a lot of quarterbacks that are good

156

00:10:57,840 –> 00:11:01,360

Um, I think your offensive weapons are fine after you already signed Alan Lazard

157

00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:04,960

Arod wants to play with obj. You already have Garrett Wilson offensive rookie of the year

158

00:11:05,840 –> 00:11:07,840

um, I really think that it just comes down to

159

00:11:08,240 –> 00:11:10,240

offensive tackle and

160

00:11:10,480 –> 00:11:13,120

I think that this is a good draft to get one. I don’t know

161

00:11:13,920 –> 00:11:15,760

Now that freeing she’s been going on long enough

162

00:11:15,760 –> 00:11:20,800

I don’t know what tackles are out there now that you could sign and to give you the value that you would get out of it

163

00:11:20,800 –> 00:11:25,280

Like uh, piers garonski or broderick jones or Paris johnson. Like I think that those draft picks are gonna be your best bet

164

00:11:25,760 –> 00:11:28,640

But if you have to give them up to get Aaron Rogers, it’s what you have to do like there’s

165

00:11:29,520 –> 00:11:33,120

Like there should be no holds bar. They’re doing absolutely what they have to

166

00:11:33,920 –> 00:11:39,520

But so when the Jets say they are not trading Elijah Moore anymore. Does that scare you like oh snap?

167

00:11:39,520 –> 00:11:42,800

We might have to trade a guy like Jermaine Johnson. No instead

168

00:11:44,160 –> 00:11:46,160

No, because

169

00:11:46,720 –> 00:11:48,720

I don’t think that they will trade

170

00:11:48,720 –> 00:11:54,160

A young star would be one thing if we traded a young player that just isn’t that good Jermaine Johnson just didn’t play a whole lot

171

00:11:54,160 –> 00:11:56,800

He was injured a little bit. We had a good D line. He was efficient when he played

172

00:11:57,600 –> 00:12:00,800

I don’t think that we give someone like that up. I think that they will

173

00:12:01,840 –> 00:12:04,640

Rather give up the first round picks and give up those young players

174

00:12:05,040 –> 00:12:06,960

Which is what I’m all for

175

00:12:06,960 –> 00:12:11,200

But I mean again, if it’s if we’re able to bring some guys back. I think that they’re still

176

00:12:11,840 –> 00:12:13,840

Waiting on quinine trying to sign an extension

177

00:12:14,320 –> 00:12:15,280

um

178

00:12:15,280 –> 00:12:19,120

They converted I want to say some of john franklin mires, uh

179

00:12:19,760 –> 00:12:21,920

Some of his or was it lost in one of the two?

180

00:12:23,200 –> 00:12:25,600

Some of their salary into signing bonus

181

00:12:26,240 –> 00:12:28,880

So they’re going to bring them back if we’ve already got a good D line

182

00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:32,480

I think maybe you can get away with trading him. I would rather not but if

183

00:12:33,280 –> 00:12:35,600

If you’re asking about Jermaine Johnson in particular

184

00:12:36,160 –> 00:12:40,080

I already said my thoughts but Elijah Moore in particular. I think that

185

00:12:41,120 –> 00:12:43,440

I would personally be okay with it. I mean he didn’t play a whole

186

00:12:43,440 –> 00:12:48,320

Whole huge role this past year. I know that he was quite frustrated. Zach Wilson wasn’t the best

187

00:12:50,960 –> 00:12:54,560

But we already signed lazard they’re talking about adding another tight end

188

00:12:54,960 –> 00:13:00,320

Randall cobbs experienced. I mean, he’s not going to be fantastic. Don’t get me wrong. I know like 55 year old Randall cob

189

00:13:00,320 –> 00:13:03,520

No one’s expecting 1200 yards and 10 touchdowns, but

190

00:13:04,080 –> 00:13:08,320

OBJ is a possibility. I think that you’ve already got three potential

191

00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:12,000

good receivers in your room and you’ve got Denzel mims who

192

00:13:12,000 –> 00:13:17,600

Has like the athletic makeup the skill. He just hasn’t really put it all together and we haven’t had great qb play

193

00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:20,800

I think that you can get away with trading Elijah more like I don’t think that it’s going to trade

194

00:13:20,800 –> 00:13:23,840

And it’s going to come back to bite us in the ass unless he goes ballistic

195

00:13:24,160 –> 00:13:29,680

Like who’s going to see that coming? I mean also out on the free agency market. You could get a guy like Adam Thielen

196

00:13:29,920 –> 00:13:33,360

Exactly. I don’t know how much is I know that Jets have reached out to him

197

00:13:33,840 –> 00:13:41,200

Um, I don’t see it happening just because the cap space we’re already focusing on restructuring that to fit Aaron Rogers

198

00:13:41,200 –> 00:13:45,200

If we could somehow free up some more and then go and sign because they already have talked to obj

199

00:13:45,360 –> 00:13:50,240

If they signed or if they trade for Rogers, I think they go for obj next after that

200

00:13:50,320 –> 00:13:55,040

I don’t think we have room to really make a big like sick except to sign someone to like a minimum

201

00:13:55,120 –> 00:13:57,120

I don’t think we have room to just add

202

00:13:57,520 –> 00:13:59,520

You know with all these signings

203

00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:04,800

Where do you project the Jets to be at the end of the season? Do you see them making the playoffs? You see them making a deep run?

204

00:14:05,440 –> 00:14:06,560

um

205

00:14:06,560 –> 00:14:08,560

I sure hope they make a deep run

206

00:14:08,560 –> 00:14:09,520

uh

207

00:14:09,520 –> 00:14:11,520

This past year. I know that I was

208

00:14:12,560 –> 00:14:18,560

Really optimistic even though Zach Wilson was out playing with Joe flacco. I was like, all right, you know like it uh

209

00:14:19,280 –> 00:14:21,120

I was like, you know, it’s not fantastic

210

00:14:21,120 –> 00:14:24,400

Like it’ll do and then Zach comes back we’re winning games. I thought this is a whole new

211

00:14:24,960 –> 00:14:27,120

Zach Wilson and that one game with the Patriots happened

212

00:14:27,760 –> 00:14:33,360

And he didn’t take credit for scoring three points and said he didn’t let the defense down and then it just felt like everything

213

00:14:33,360 –> 00:14:36,080

Went to shit from there. I mean we had a fantastic defense

214

00:14:36,080 –> 00:14:41,040

The briefs hall getting hurt really sucked as well. A lot of injuries to the o-line kind of killed our run game

215

00:14:41,040 –> 00:14:43,040

We’re in a really a past first team

216

00:14:43,280 –> 00:14:44,160

but

217

00:14:44,160 –> 00:14:45,760

I think this year

218

00:14:45,760 –> 00:14:47,920

Honestly, the ceiling is definitely a super bowl

219

00:14:47,920 –> 00:14:51,520

I mean, you have to think you trade for one of the most talented best quarterbacks of all time

220

00:14:51,760 –> 00:14:56,240

You run back almost the same offenses last year plus an extra weapon or two

221

00:14:56,720 –> 00:15:01,440

You run back the exact same defense, which was a top five defense in the entire league last year

222

00:15:01,760 –> 00:15:03,760

I mean, I really don’t see

223

00:15:03,760 –> 00:15:10,720

A way that the Jets don’t make the playoffs barring injury or some insane regression by either the defense or and rogers

224

00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:14,080

So you say you don’t you don’t see them not making the playoffs

225

00:15:14,080 –> 00:15:20,400

Do you see them capturing the a fc east seed or do you think they’re a wildcard team? I would love to see them

226

00:15:21,200 –> 00:15:24,320

Capture the a fc east but the a fc east is a fantastic

227

00:15:24,880 –> 00:15:30,160

Uh division. I mean you got josh allen probably the second best quarterback in the entire league right now

228

00:15:30,160 –> 00:15:34,880

The second third best colds flashing me a three right now. He doesn’t think josh allen’s up there, but uh

229

00:15:35,360 –> 00:15:37,360

I mean you got one of the best quarterbacks in the league

230

00:15:37,680 –> 00:15:40,560

Miami’s got an electric offense. They got two who turn the uh

231

00:15:41,040 –> 00:15:44,880

Turn the page got way better. He’s got tiger. He’s got gila wato’s got weapons

232

00:15:44,960 –> 00:15:47,840

But with gila ramsey got better but with two of though

233

00:15:48,560 –> 00:15:52,720

One more head injury his career is over. There’s no doubt about that. There’s sign mike white though, right?

234

00:15:52,720 –> 00:15:55,120

So he’s coming back with a vengeance against you guys

235

00:15:55,360 –> 00:15:58,800

There’s a chance even though that like two of his career might be over like coming into this year

236

00:15:58,800 –> 00:16:02,640

Because like he had three concussions like three like really bad concussions just in one year

237

00:16:02,880 –> 00:16:05,440

Most people don’t come back from three concussions and like

238

00:16:06,080 –> 00:16:07,600

Like entire career

239

00:16:07,600 –> 00:16:12,640

So I think it’s more buffalo. I think that’s your big. Yeah, I mean I think it’s a buffalo overall

240

00:16:12,720 –> 00:16:16,800

Yeah, buffalo for sure, but I mean the patriots there still really solid. You got bill billichek. You’re never

241

00:16:17,440 –> 00:16:19,440

out of a playoff hunt

242

00:16:19,520 –> 00:16:23,680

Um, but I think the dolphins could possibly pose a threat, but yeah, it’s really the bills

243

00:16:24,080 –> 00:16:27,280

So I I really do think that we beat them this past year with zack wilson

244

00:16:27,280 –> 00:16:30,720

So I really think that we have an opportunity to beat them and then capture the a c east

245

00:16:31,040 –> 00:16:34,640

But I mean, hey once you get into the playoffs anything’s anything’s possible

246

00:16:34,880 –> 00:16:40,640

So I’m just as long as they clinch the clinch the playoff first. I’m happy. Yeah, I think that’s where you guys probably need to be

247

00:16:41,440 –> 00:16:45,600

obviously and the a of c is just the a of c is insane, but

248

00:16:46,720 –> 00:16:51,120

I don’t know. I think you guys with rogers. I don’t think it’s the best choice

249

00:16:51,280 –> 00:16:55,280

I would have personally gone after lamar the problem with bull mar thing is obviously

250

00:16:55,280 –> 00:16:58,560

You’d lose all your money and then you also lose the two firsts

251

00:16:58,880 –> 00:17:02,160

Whereas with rogers if you just want to go big or go home

252

00:17:02,240 –> 00:17:05,840

You just you take the trade you paying the money you trade away picks because you don’t care

253

00:17:06,080 –> 00:17:08,800

Because you’re not going to get more than three years that are rogers at this point

254

00:17:08,960 –> 00:17:15,120

Yeah, and he’s just not gonna make it in the way the coaching staff in the the front office has talked they seemed

255

00:17:16,000 –> 00:17:18,000

Like they’re still high on zack wilson

256

00:17:18,080 –> 00:17:22,160

They still have a plan to keep him on the team and he be a part of future plans

257

00:17:22,160 –> 00:17:29,040

But if you bring in someone like lamar zack’s future is done in new york, but I think you bring in erin rogers you bring in

258

00:17:30,080 –> 00:17:32,080

Got Nathaniel hack it

259

00:17:32,080 –> 00:17:36,240

Like he’s a great qb’s coach like he works really well with the quarterbacks in the offense

260

00:17:36,320 –> 00:17:40,000

Um, I think that erin can not mentor him because he’s focused on playing

261

00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:43,920

I think if he can learn from erin just being on the field with him being in the locker room

262

00:17:43,920 –> 00:17:47,440

Like zack could potentially be someone that could still get you to win at high level games

263

00:17:47,520 –> 00:17:51,040

I’m not saying he’s gonna come out here and be a patrick mhomes and he’s the reason you’re winning

264

00:17:51,040 –> 00:17:56,240

But I think he can still get you to possibly where you want to go. Yeah, but do you want erin rogers who’s kind of

265

00:17:57,040 –> 00:18:02,160

A locker room not necessarily a rock locker room cancer about the mental head case. That’s erin rogers

266

00:18:02,160 –> 00:18:05,280

While you already have the locker room cancer. That’s wilson

267

00:18:06,160 –> 00:18:12,000

I don’t know if you want wilson learning a lot of rogers in terms of headspace. Maybe a little bit in terms of

268

00:18:12,720 –> 00:18:18,320

Past plays but the rest of it. I feel like rogers is not the guy you want with wilson. I think they’re better off

269

00:18:18,720 –> 00:18:20,720

I don’t know who wants wilson, but

270

00:18:20,720 –> 00:18:25,120

Somebody would probably take him for something that you guys could use this draft maybe

271

00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:30,400

But honestly though with erin rogers coming in like if we get rid of zack wilson his stock is at an all-time low

272

00:18:30,480 –> 00:18:34,480

If you get erin rogers, you let him sit people are thinking. Oh, he’s learning from one of the greatest of all time

273

00:18:34,960 –> 00:18:41,680

He doesn’t have to have the stress and the pressure on him to perform as qb1 like he did rookie season in this past year

274

00:18:41,920 –> 00:18:43,520

Maybe a stock rise a little bit you get a little bit more

275

00:18:43,520 –> 00:18:48,000

Maybe that’s their plan to hold all along just hold on to an extra year or two trade him when his stock’s a little bit higher

276

00:18:48,000 –> 00:18:53,840

But I don’t know. I mean zack wilson had that one misstep, but since then it seems like the jets players have been

277

00:18:54,320 –> 00:19:00,160

Not necessarily behind him, but supportive and it doesn’t seem like zack wilson’s just constantly doing things like that

278

00:19:00,160 –> 00:19:03,600

That just put the locker room in turmoil. It was that one misstep that

279

00:19:04,400 –> 00:19:08,640

Just really just snowballed a lot of things and just he kind of became

280

00:19:09,280 –> 00:19:13,360

Uh stuck in his own head. So I know a lot of the decisions he second-guessed himself

281

00:19:13,360 –> 00:19:20,400

I think another thing you have to keep in mind, especially with zack wilson is that yeah, you’re saying that erin rogers can be a mentor to zack wilson

282

00:19:20,560 –> 00:19:23,680

And if he makes zack wilson better great, but as a team

283

00:19:23,680 –> 00:19:28,400

I don’t think you’re gonna want to risk that by trading for zack wilson next year because you absolutely need a quarterback

284

00:19:28,720 –> 00:19:32,960

And then it just falls flat and he didn’t really develop into who you thought he was

285

00:19:33,200 –> 00:19:36,720

So I think as the jets you’re probably going to have to use zack wilson

286

00:19:36,720 –> 00:19:42,560

Maybe next year maybe in two years to see if he had actually developed from having erin rogers as a quote unquote mentor

287

00:19:43,280 –> 00:19:45,760

And see if he’s actually gotten better because if he’s not

288

00:19:46,240 –> 00:19:48,480

Then obviously no team’s gonna want him and the jester stuck with him

289

00:19:48,560 –> 00:19:54,960

And I don’t think any team is going to want to risk that just because he was behind erin rogers for a season. Yeah, I mean

290

00:19:55,840 –> 00:19:57,840

I think that

291

00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:04,560

You’re gonna have to judge that off of like offseason workouts preseason stuff like that like all the games in there

292

00:20:04,560 –> 00:20:09,520

But I mean honestly like no teams are right now like just banging down the jet store

293

00:20:09,520 –> 00:20:11,600

We want zack wilson train him to us. What’s it gonna take?

294

00:20:12,080 –> 00:20:13,280

but say

295

00:20:13,280 –> 00:20:15,600

He sits he looks good in training camps like

296

00:20:16,320 –> 00:20:18,640

Like ota’s and then the preseason he plays well

297

00:20:19,120 –> 00:20:25,920

And then a year from now you got someone like the commanders that just love to have three mediocre quarterbacks and just like carousel through them

298

00:20:26,240 –> 00:20:31,840

It just seems like they’ve always got someone that’s like, oh, we’ll take a flyer on carson wence and we’ll try to run it back with

299

00:20:31,840 –> 00:20:35,760

Sam darnold and all this stuff I get just they keep running quarterbacks out there that you don’t think you’re gonna win

300

00:20:35,760 –> 00:20:37,280

But the commanders seem confident in it

301

00:20:37,280 –> 00:20:42,560

So I mean as long as there’s one team delusional enough to just be like, you know what we’ll throw you a few draft picks or a player

302

00:20:42,960 –> 00:20:44,960

I think the jets are like, please we’ll take it

303

00:20:46,160 –> 00:20:47,360

um

304

00:20:47,360 –> 00:20:50,000

But yeah, I I could sit and talk about the jets

305

00:20:50,640 –> 00:20:56,320

For a very long time, but there are a lot of other moves being made one in particular. I do not like with the quarterback market

306

00:20:57,120 –> 00:20:59,120

Jimmy g to the Raiders

307

00:20:59,440 –> 00:21:01,440

I’m not a fan. Why not?

308

00:21:01,440 –> 00:21:06,800

Um, I think that the Raiders they they got rid of Derek Carr. They’re already overhauling their offense

309

00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:10,160

I mean, I don’t know if demonte adam stays or not. They already traded Darren waller

310

00:21:11,040 –> 00:21:12,640

They cut like I said, they cut Derek Carr

311

00:21:12,640 –> 00:21:17,280

but then you go and sign Jimmy g to three years for 25 million dollars a year

312

00:21:17,920 –> 00:21:23,360

And he’s just like a Jimmy. He’s a Derek Carr clone and you already have a high draft pick if you’re the Raiders

313

00:21:23,680 –> 00:21:28,320

You can possibly package a little something trade up. I mean, anthony richards and cj stroud brice young

314

00:21:28,320 –> 00:21:32,640

They’re probably not there at seven realistically. So I mean, I get it a little bit

315

00:21:32,640 –> 00:21:36,960

We’re like, oh just in case but if you were so worried about a quarterback, why are you not trying to trade up?

316

00:21:36,960 –> 00:21:39,600

It feels like they’re just like, oh, let’s just pay a lot of money for qb

317

00:21:39,600 –> 00:21:41,920

That’s so we’re not gonna be absolutely terrible

318

00:21:41,920 –> 00:21:46,640

Like at that point just embrace the suck tank one more year. You can draft Caleb Williams or something like that

319

00:21:46,640 –> 00:21:50,720

I don’t know why they’re like, oh, it’s so content on trying to get six wins and off that point too

320

00:21:50,720 –> 00:21:54,720

They traded away Darren waller. So what is their goal if you’re gonna sign Jimmy g

321

00:21:54,720 –> 00:22:00,560

Why aren’t you keeping Darren waller for Jimmy g to have those weapons exactly that’s what I don’t like they the Raiders are gonna

322

00:22:00,560 –> 00:22:03,680

Raider and they always do things that I’m just like, what are you doing?

323

00:22:03,920 –> 00:22:08,480

They draft people that are headcases at the time and people like this guy’s not gonna be any good two years later

324

00:22:08,480 –> 00:22:10,000

It’s a d.y. They cut him

325

00:22:10,000 –> 00:22:13,920

And it’s it feels like every year people are telling the telling the Raiders don’t do this

326

00:22:14,160 –> 00:22:16,480

They still do it and then it sucks in the west

327

00:22:17,200 –> 00:22:22,480

I think five drafts they have not kept a single one of their first run picks except for josh eggups

328

00:22:22,480 –> 00:22:26,320

Is the only pick that you that they’ve kept and they’ve had like seven first run picks

329

00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:29,600

Which is unreal and I maybe they’re scared now that they’re like, you know

330

00:22:29,600 –> 00:22:32,880

Maybe our drafting strategy sucks so bad that we don’t want to take a quarterback

331

00:22:32,880 –> 00:22:37,680

We’re just gonna roll with Jimmy g hope that we can draft elsewhere or sign like a few

332

00:22:38,400 –> 00:22:41,040

Stop gaps and maybe do a little bit better than people expect

333

00:22:41,440 –> 00:22:46,640

But I really just don’t know where they’re going with the signing. What is the breaking point for the Raiders this year?

334

00:22:46,880 –> 00:22:51,520

I mean you’re you are signing Jimmy g so I mean you’re not gonna contend in the fc west

335

00:22:51,520 –> 00:22:53,520

No, there’s no way

336

00:22:53,520 –> 00:22:58,720

So I mean, you know, I know I think a lot of people expected the chiefs to fall off and then they won the super bowl last year

337

00:22:59,040 –> 00:23:04,160

I just what are you gonna expect from the Raiders and what’s gonna be the breaking point for josh jacob’s or davante adams?

338

00:23:04,160 –> 00:23:09,040

We’re like, we just went out. We’re done. I think literally the breaking point is going to be jimmy g’s foot

339

00:23:09,520 –> 00:23:11,520

Because it’s gonna he’s gonna get hurt again

340

00:23:12,160 –> 00:23:15,840

And then they’re I don’t know what their plan is at all with their backup

341

00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:19,440

It was jared stittum, but he just signed away so they don’t have them on the roster

342

00:23:19,440 –> 00:23:26,080

They’ll have to sign someone or they’ll have to possibly take like a late-round flyer and like a max dug in

343

00:23:26,400 –> 00:23:28,400

during thompson robinson

344

00:23:28,560 –> 00:23:30,560

Where do you think indian hooker will go?

345

00:23:30,560 –> 00:23:32,320

not early

346

00:23:32,320 –> 00:23:38,000

Because there’s a chance they might take him possibly maybe they’re trying to do what tennessee did take like a malik hooker like an absolute

347

00:23:38,240 –> 00:23:41,600

Like kind of somebody that’s a little off the radar, but kind of athletics

348

00:23:41,760 –> 00:23:43,920

Studford turn into something insane

349

00:23:43,920 –> 00:23:46,320

So they want jimmy g for now maybe as a mentor

350

00:23:46,320 –> 00:23:53,120

Yeah, then maybe they’ll take one of those more athletic raw talent guys, but honestly if you’re if that’s the case

351

00:23:53,120 –> 00:23:57,280

I mean, I don’t hate it. I mean you can kind of let him sit see how he develops

352

00:23:58,000 –> 00:24:00,640

If you get an athletic guy like that, but dtr is

353

00:24:01,280 –> 00:24:06,800

Dual threat really fast explosive athletic. I mean, I think that you could possibly could do that

354

00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:09,840

um, just kind of see how he develops

355

00:24:10,560 –> 00:24:11,520

but

356

00:24:11,520 –> 00:24:13,040

I just really

357

00:24:13,040 –> 00:24:18,480

Like you said the breaking point if the raiders like if jimmy g gets hurt like evan said

358

00:24:18,880 –> 00:24:22,000

It’s then at that point. I think the raiders have to embrace the tank like at that point

359

00:24:22,080 –> 00:24:26,880

If it’s before the trade deadline you trade davante you trade josh jake gives you as many draft picks as possible

360

00:24:27,120 –> 00:24:29,360

You maybe look to move jimmy g in the off season

361

00:24:29,840 –> 00:24:32,080

And then you just try to draft a quarterback at that point, but

362

00:24:32,880 –> 00:24:36,000

I think that if the raiders get like another

363

00:24:36,720 –> 00:24:40,400

Top eight pick. I think davante abs at this point is like, okay

364

00:24:40,400 –> 00:24:44,000

Like I went out of here. He goes to the raiders to a get his money

365

00:24:44,320 –> 00:24:47,280

B play with his friend dare car and see you possibly have a good team

366

00:24:47,920 –> 00:24:53,760

Dare car has gone after one year. His team is absolutely terrible. I mean, he got his money, but at what cost? Yeah

367

00:24:54,480 –> 00:24:58,960

I’m almost wondering if this is a you said three deal, right? Three year deal. Yeah

368

00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:03,120

I wonder if they think after three years, Kansas City’s dynasty will be over

369

00:25:03,680 –> 00:25:07,600

The chargers who knows what’s going to go on with them and then the broncos

370

00:25:07,600 –> 00:25:12,320

They’re just so maybe they’re just hoping that after three years

371

00:25:12,320 –> 00:25:14,960

Maybe they’re just paying jimmy g now so they can at least

372

00:25:15,440 –> 00:25:19,040

Build a little bit of culture be somewhat competitive and hope after that three-year mark

373

00:25:19,440 –> 00:25:23,360

Kansas City’s done russia wilson still doing dumb stuff in denver

374

00:25:23,760 –> 00:25:29,520

And for some reason the chargers couldn’t figure out how to utilize harbert, but yeah, I mean, I think the chargers are a great team

375

00:25:29,520 –> 00:25:33,440

I don’t think staley’s a great coach. I think that if they want to actually contend they need to get rid of them

376

00:25:33,440 –> 00:25:37,360

I don’t I’m not a fan. I feel like you’re on every fourth down. That’s recipe for success

377

00:25:37,360 –> 00:25:40,640

That’s why every team has done that for the past however many years football has been around

378

00:25:40,800 –> 00:25:42,640

I mean, I don’t I don’t I do like that

379

00:25:42,640 –> 00:25:47,680

But I feel like there’s so many times that he mismanages the offense like it’ll be like I get if it’s like fourth and short

380

00:25:47,760 –> 00:25:52,640

Go for you got a good offense, but it’s like you’re on your own 25 down a touchdown four minutes or not four minutes

381

00:25:52,640 –> 00:25:55,200

It’s like a whole quarter left. Let me just go for it fourth and 15

382

00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:58,720

It’s like you give this up your their ardy and field goal range. I clear once out doesn’t he? Yeah

383

00:25:59,040 –> 00:26:04,640

Yeah, so what are you doing? Yeah, they didn’t release him. They’re seeking a trade, but the cowboys had released zeke today

384

00:26:04,880 –> 00:26:06,640

Yeah, I saw that

385

00:26:06,640 –> 00:26:11,920

But I don’t know but to your point about maybe the a fc west dying off and then in a few years

386

00:26:11,920 –> 00:26:13,920

Jimmy G is leading the Raiders to a Super Bowl

387

00:26:13,920 –> 00:26:17,760

I’ll be damned if that happens like straight up like the Raiders would

388

00:26:18,560 –> 00:26:21,920

look like absolute geniuses and that would be a first for my lifetime

389

00:26:22,560 –> 00:26:23,520

but

390

00:26:23,520 –> 00:26:30,000

I see no way that that happens because Jimmy G made the Super Bowl one time and lost and that’s because the 49ers had

391

00:26:30,480 –> 00:26:34,400

The best defense in the league no doubt that year and some other weapons around him

392

00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:37,120

The Raiders have Josh Jacobs who don’t come your longest good

393

00:26:37,280 –> 00:26:39,920

But I mean running back is just an overvalued position at this point

394

00:26:39,920 –> 00:26:42,880

You get a good old line anyone can go out there and average three yards per carry

395

00:26:43,200 –> 00:26:47,360

Not not anyone but any NFL actual running back that deserves beyond a roster can be serviceable

396

00:26:47,680 –> 00:26:50,800

You trade away a tight end who was two years ago a pro bowl

397

00:26:50,800 –> 00:26:54,800

Are you barely you but but now he’s hurt every other game making

398

00:26:55,520 –> 00:27:02,160

However much money was that them trading them trading him was a good trade just they didn’t get back what they needed

399

00:27:02,160 –> 00:27:06,480

Yeah, and Devonte Adams like I don’t really see a way that he’s still on the team

400

00:27:07,040 –> 00:27:10,080

In three years. I think at that point like they’re gonna be bad enough that they’re just like, you know

401

00:27:10,080 –> 00:27:13,120

We’ll train good. We want to even say somehow that he sticks around

402

00:27:14,160 –> 00:27:17,920

Uh, I don’t see a way that he’s as good as what he is currently

403

00:27:18,720 –> 00:27:22,720

And Jimmy G does not have that Niners defense. He’s the Raiders defense and like let’s let’s be honest like

404

00:27:23,920 –> 00:27:25,920

The roster is not good

405

00:27:25,920 –> 00:27:31,600

I don’t know how patient both Jacobs and Devonte Adams are gonna be but if they like come out the gates

406

00:27:31,600 –> 00:27:34,960

Just stumbling like one and 12 or whatever

407

00:27:35,920 –> 00:27:39,520

At what point do they request the trade trade? They’re just done after this year with the Raiders

408

00:27:40,400 –> 00:27:46,400

Yeah, I think that you go ahead. I think if they are under two wins going into the trade deadline

409

00:27:47,200 –> 00:27:53,200

Jacobs and Devonte are like locks ask for a trade and then maybe even max cross be

410

00:27:53,920 –> 00:27:56,960

I wouldn’t even be surprised that Devonte asked for a trade this offseason still

411

00:27:57,120 –> 00:27:59,760

Like he played one year. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he’s like no, I went out now

412

00:27:59,760 –> 00:28:05,440

Well, I don’t know if you’ve seen Devonte’s tweet, but it sounds like he’s gonna at least try Jimmy G

413

00:28:05,840 –> 00:28:08,240

So we’ll see how that works out. Yeah, I mean

414

00:28:08,960 –> 00:28:12,560

I I guess there’s always a possibility that something crazy happens

415

00:28:12,640 –> 00:28:16,000

They go out and win a bunch of games when no one’s expecting it and somehow their

416

00:28:16,720 –> 00:28:20,640

roster of like a rag tag team of misfits goes out and wins a bunch of games, but

417

00:28:21,440 –> 00:28:24,320

Personally, I don’t see the vision. I don’t see it at all either

418

00:28:24,320 –> 00:28:29,520

Nothing like being in the best one of the best divisions in football having a bad roster and then being like, you know what?

419

00:28:29,520 –> 00:28:33,120

Let’s sign a quarterback to a lot of money to make our roster worse while still being in same division and every other team

420

00:28:33,120 –> 00:28:35,680

Say is the same great thought process, but

421

00:28:36,080 –> 00:28:40,720

Hey, whatever works for them. I guess I mean, maybe there’s a reason I’m not an NFL GM, but

422

00:28:42,240 –> 00:28:49,360

So on everyone’s minds, I mean games are tipping off relatively soon. They probably already tipped off already for the playing today

423

00:28:50,080 –> 00:28:52,720

Bracket officially starts tomorrow

424

00:28:52,720 –> 00:28:57,600

Who’s everyone? What’s everyone thinking? You got like upset cinderella’s runs sleeper picks

425

00:28:58,080 –> 00:29:03,200

The question I want to know is who’s the 15 seed that’s winning in the first round. Who do you guys think?

426

00:29:04,240 –> 00:29:06,240

I

427

00:29:06,240 –> 00:29:10,880

Have I really like these two seeds UCLA is UCLA. I mean, they’ve looked good all season

428

00:29:10,880 –> 00:29:16,080

Obviously, they lost to Arizona right in their tournament. So I mean Arizona is another two seed

429

00:29:16,080 –> 00:29:20,640

Arizona’s phenomenal and they’re way too big. I watched that Princeton game when they beat

430

00:29:20,640 –> 00:29:22,640

Yale, I think and they

431

00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:24,640

Not be able to handle it athletically

432

00:29:25,280 –> 00:29:29,600

Arizona’s way too big Texas. I feel like is probably the best team in that area

433

00:29:29,920 –> 00:29:33,840

I mean, I think Houston’s terrible, especially if sassers got that groin injury

434

00:29:33,840 –> 00:29:35,840

I think you so

435

00:29:35,840 –> 00:29:40,000

Roins are so hard to play with and I think I use the second best team and that

436

00:29:40,400 –> 00:29:45,760

That bracket hard, but honestly, like I could still even possibly see an IU upset like I don’t think that

437

00:29:45,760 –> 00:29:49,680

It’s like guaranteed to happen because there are some upsets, you know, that you’re just like this is a lock

438

00:29:49,920 –> 00:29:54,720

I remember a few years ago when Ohio played Virginia Jason Preston’s on the team is like a 13 of 4

439

00:29:55,520 –> 00:30:01,040

I was like, you know what? This is a lock. I had Ohio and almost all of my ups and all of my brackets upsetting them and they did

440

00:30:01,360 –> 00:30:06,720

But I I just don’t feel certain about that one. But I think if a two seed were to lose

441

00:30:06,720 –> 00:30:10,720

I’ve seen a lot of people say that UCLA UNC Asheville is going to be good, especially with Jen Clark out

442

00:30:10,720 –> 00:30:12,720

Yep, I think UCLA still wins that

443

00:30:12,720 –> 00:30:15,760

I feel like that’s the biggest chance because Marquette’s the other two seed and

444

00:30:16,480 –> 00:30:21,440

I think Marquette’s really really good. They’re built for a tournament at least. They got great guard play. They got the best coach

445

00:30:22,320 –> 00:30:27,280

So this year was the year that I paid attention to college basketball the most out of the 21 years I’ve been alive

446

00:30:27,840 –> 00:30:32,720

I have not heard a single thing about Marquette. What’s seriously? It feels like they just fly under the radar

447

00:30:32,720 –> 00:30:37,120

That’s because at the beginning of the season is when we were hearing all this stuff about

448

00:30:37,600 –> 00:30:40,000

UCLA UNC or USC coming out of the U.S.

449

00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:43,120

We heard about all the SEC nonsense and how

450

00:30:43,520 –> 00:30:48,160

Everybody’s thinking down the road that there’s going to be those like two super conferences between the SEC and big 10

451

00:30:48,160 –> 00:30:50,400

So nobody’s paying attention to basketball at the beginning of the year

452

00:30:50,560 –> 00:30:53,280

And if they are it’s because they’re paying attention to the big 10 SEC

453

00:30:53,280 –> 00:30:58,720

Obviously ACC has the blue bloods and the big 12 a lot of teams obviously paying attention to the big 12

454

00:30:58,720 –> 00:31:03,120

Nobody cares about the big East at all and at the beginning of the season because I’m a Purdue fan

455

00:31:03,120 –> 00:31:05,520

So boiler up. Let’s get it. This is our year, right?

456

00:31:05,520 –> 00:31:06,240

Zach Eadie

457

00:31:06,240 –> 00:31:11,120

Hopefully comes back too as we can back to back it maybe your one player who’s going to score 40 points in the first round

458

00:31:11,120 –> 00:31:13,120

And you know what squeak out a two-point win?

459

00:31:13,680 –> 00:31:18,640

Weird or stranger things have happened. It’s like wins a win Purdue be Marquette at the beginning of the year and I watched that game

460

00:31:19,280 –> 00:31:23,760

And I was very surprised we won that because I thought Marquette was going to be a strong test

461

00:31:23,760 –> 00:31:27,680

Obviously Purdue no one thought was going to be good through game season. I didn’t think it was going to be good through season

462

00:31:27,680 –> 00:31:31,200

I thought we’re going to be middle big 10. Maybe maybe make the NIT

463

00:31:31,360 –> 00:31:33,120

But obviously great surprise there

464

00:31:33,120 –> 00:31:36,720

But that Marquette win I always knew was a big deal because Marquette for some reason

465

00:31:36,720 –> 00:31:40,160

They’re just one of those weird teams same with Xavier

466

00:31:40,160 –> 00:31:43,200

IU did the same thing and beat Xavier at the beginning of the year

467

00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:47,520

And that was a really big win. Obviously nobody has their eyes really on the big East

468

00:31:47,520 –> 00:31:51,760

But anytime you beat a big East team, they’re always in the tournament. They always play well like seed in the hall

469

00:31:51,760 –> 00:31:52,400

Exactly

470

00:31:52,400 –> 00:31:56,240

St. Louis like all those kinds of like nobody really cares about them, but then they come to the tournament

471

00:31:56,240 –> 00:31:58,240

I mean you look back way back

472

00:31:58,240 –> 00:32:04,320

UConn obviously was amazing for a long time and then you had those two Butler years where they went to the tournament back to back years

473

00:32:04,320 –> 00:32:06,320

When nobody thought they were any good

474

00:32:06,320 –> 00:32:10,400

So big East teams they just they play really solid brand of basketball

475

00:32:10,400 –> 00:32:14,400

And it’s different from all the other styles like big 10 is really physical

476

00:32:14,960 –> 00:32:16,960

Feed your bigs play solid basketball

477

00:32:16,960 –> 00:32:20,960

SEC is who’s got the guy that can jump out of the gym and shoot the most threes

478

00:32:20,960 –> 00:32:25,360

ACC is about stars big 12 and big East. I feel like are the top 10

479

00:32:25,360 –> 00:32:30,720

areas that really play solid just a different style of basketball where they still care about their fundamentals

480

00:32:30,720 –> 00:32:34,320

But they also let their guys do what they need to do and then shock of smart

481

00:32:34,320 –> 00:32:38,160

I mean, I’ve loved him since he was at VCU all those years ago turning them around so

482

00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:43,600

I’m honestly surprised that people don’t give the respect to the big East that it deserves

483

00:32:43,600 –> 00:32:48,160

Like it historically is a great conference and it feels like people just like going over. I didn’t say then

484

00:32:48,160 –> 00:32:51,680

Exactly going over and they’ve won two championships in the past 10 years. Yeah, and

485

00:32:51,680 –> 00:32:55,680

It’s like they were still 500 team their head coach just retired. So I mean, they weren’t as good as

486

00:32:55,680 –> 00:32:59,680

Obviously years past but the big East at almost half their conference make the tournament

487

00:32:59,680 –> 00:33:02,560

They got five teams in it and their lowest seat is they have a

488

00:33:03,120 –> 00:33:06,560

Two-seat a three-seat a six-seat a four-seat and an 11-seat

489

00:33:07,200 –> 00:33:10,640

Yeah, like you got some damn good teams in that and people just don’t respect them

490

00:33:10,640 –> 00:33:15,200

It’s like you said like Marquette’s a two-seat and no one talks about him. Just be like, oh, well, it’s the big East like that’s

491

00:33:15,760 –> 00:33:17,760

Realistically in basketball

492

00:33:17,760 –> 00:33:21,840

The big East could probably be a power five conference over like the pack 12

493

00:33:21,840 –> 00:33:27,840

Yeah, because the pack 12 always has like that one team that’s just like oh watch out for them this year and then lose in the second round being a two-seat

494

00:33:28,640 –> 00:33:33,040

Arizona yep, exactly and then UCLA like UCLA. I thought actually could have been a really good team

495

00:33:33,040 –> 00:33:36,400

But then they lose Jaylen Clark. I mean I could still see him making a run

496

00:33:36,400 –> 00:33:42,320

But it’s just when you lose your best defensive player when in a game like stars are so prevalent like I think that that’s

497

00:33:42,880 –> 00:33:44,880

Something that’s

498

00:33:44,880 –> 00:33:51,760

Going to be very difficult to overcome and honestly the big East was probably better not even probably was better than the ACC this year

499

00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:57,920

Oh, yeah, ACC was so overrated. They had UNC coming as the one seed. They’re not even playing in the NIT

500

00:33:57,920 –> 00:34:03,200

Yeah, yeah, like to be fair. They would have been playing in the NIT. They just turned it down. But yeah, but you know

501

00:34:04,080 –> 00:34:08,800

In terms of upset I’m putting on the record right now. I’ve got Auburn going pretty far

502

00:34:09,520 –> 00:34:12,400

I think Iowa their guards are

503

00:34:12,400 –> 00:34:14,400

Not very physical so

504

00:34:14,960 –> 00:34:18,480

I think Auburn’s gonna take them down pretty quick and then I think they’re gonna

505

00:34:19,040 –> 00:34:23,520

Take it to Houston Houston does not look good very recently and if sassar is hurt there

506

00:34:23,520 –> 00:34:28,320

That’s that’s not even a five-seed team. So I mean, I think blowing through those

507

00:34:28,320 –> 00:34:34,880

I think if somehow Houston can make it to the final four, it’s going to be difficult to beat Houston because it’s at Houston

508

00:34:35,440 –> 00:34:40,320

But like I just there’s I don’t see a way that Houston makes it that far because every time that you see someone

509

00:34:40,320 –> 00:34:44,720

Like when was the last time that a non-power five team won the championship?

510

00:34:45,600 –> 00:34:49,280

And again, this is gonna go back to Villanova with the big East Yukon with the big East

511

00:34:49,280 –> 00:34:53,920

But like I said, like they could realistically be a power five for basketball over the Pac-12

512

00:34:53,920 –> 00:34:59,040

Like when when has a champion champion come from either like a conference that wasn’t the ACC

513

00:34:59,040 –> 00:35:05,040

SEC big 12 big 10 or big East like the AAC like no disrespect like they’ve got some solid teams

514

00:35:05,040 –> 00:35:08,640

But Houston’s gonna come in every to be like oh, Houston’s a one seed. They’re gonna be a big one seed

515

00:35:08,640 –> 00:35:13,440

They’re gonna be pretty good and then they get eliminated before the sweet 16

516

00:35:13,440 –> 00:35:17,600

I’m pretty sure that I was gonna say I’m pretty sure they’ve been a one seed less like or one or two seed less two years

517

00:35:17,600 –> 00:35:21,840

And I don’t think they’ve gotten past the elite eight. It’s like Gonzaga. Gonzaga. Yeah

518

00:35:21,840 –> 00:35:24,560

Every year I feel like especially when we were growing up and stuff

519

00:35:24,560 –> 00:35:28,720

I felt like Gonzaga was always a one seed and then they never got out of the sweet 16

520

00:35:28,720 –> 00:35:33,440

Obviously they had the undefeated season and then they still lost to Baylor. They got wiped in that game

521

00:35:33,440 –> 00:35:37,280

It’s like everyone’s like oh my gosh Gonzaga is so good and Baylor beats them by like 25

522

00:35:37,280 –> 00:35:41,120

A lot of people think Gonzaga is gonna be really good in this year’s tournament because they’re kind of I think it was

523

00:35:41,680 –> 00:35:47,360

Free who was he’s a jay billis or dick by tell somebody said they had Gonzaga going pretty far because they’re kind of under the radar this year

524

00:35:48,000 –> 00:35:50,080

I don’t see it like I mean they do

525

00:35:51,600 –> 00:35:54,160

The west is pretty weak down that bottom part like

526

00:35:55,360 –> 00:36:01,920

UCLA and I feel like north west are another two best teams other than Gonzaga in the bottom half of the west and at the top

527

00:36:01,920 –> 00:36:08,640

I was really good there you can maybe but st. Mary’s is not gonna do much. I don’t think in me neither

528

00:36:09,120 –> 00:36:14,960

I mean obviously I think Kansas is coming final four out of that area, but yeah just real quick going back to what Troy asked

529

00:36:15,760 –> 00:36:18,800

I don’t know if they were in they were in the mountain west in 1990

530

00:36:18,800 –> 00:36:23,360

But the last non-power five team to win was in 1990 and it was unlv

531

00:36:23,680 –> 00:36:28,080

Okay, that’s that’s uh that might have been I if I would have thought that I might have come up with that

532

00:36:28,080 –> 00:36:33,600

But like I knew they won championship. I thought there might have been one closer, but like 1990 that’s not one of those five

533

00:36:34,160 –> 00:36:38,000

Unovis that that team. Yeah. Yeah, they beat Duke. Yeah

534

00:36:38,480 –> 00:36:42,160

All right, and Evan you said you like Auburn. I’m not gonna lie. I’ve made

535

00:36:43,040 –> 00:36:46,480

Six seven brackets. I plan on making good five six more before the

536

00:36:47,200 –> 00:36:53,120

Tournament actually kicks off tomorrow. I don’t know if I have Auburn making it past the second round in any of them

537

00:36:53,120 –> 00:36:58,720

Like I’m I watched them play West Virginia because I’m a big West Virginia fan and I really wasn’t depressed

538

00:36:58,720 –> 00:36:59,920

There was a one-point game

539

00:36:59,920 –> 00:37:02,480

But that was with us trying our hard or three-point game

540

00:37:02,720 –> 00:37:06,720

Excuse me, and it was us trying our hardest to give it away at the end when we had a big lead all game

541

00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:14,400

Since January 25th, they are five and nine and some of these games. They’re getting absolutely drilled like they played Vanderbilt lost to Vanderbilt

542

00:37:14,400 –> 00:37:16,400

Play Kentucky lost by 32

543

00:37:17,440 –> 00:37:20,480

They played they played some obviously some good teams like you know, you play tech saying em

544

00:37:20,480 –> 00:37:23,600

Who’s in the tournament you play Tennessee who at the time was a 2c

545

00:37:23,600 –> 00:37:26,240

They’re a they’re number two team in the nation at the time four seed now

546

00:37:26,800 –> 00:37:32,400

Play Alabama twice in that span. So like there’s some good teams, but like at the same time. They’re just getting wiped

547

00:37:32,800 –> 00:37:38,320

Yeah, so my the reason I like Auburn is two things one their point guard. I forget his name that guy

548

00:37:38,800 –> 00:37:43,600

Was it window green? Maybe jack’s up three’s galore like the guy just loves shooting the ball again

549

00:37:43,600 –> 00:37:44,240

Purdue fan

550

00:37:44,240 –> 00:37:50,080

I feel like he could have himself a Carson Edwards tournament where he’s just the only reason they win because he just cannot miss

551

00:37:50,080 –> 00:37:54,480

That happens in a lot of tournaments and the other reason I think Bruce Pearl is an insane coach

552

00:37:54,480 –> 00:37:58,400

And he gets his guys fired up and ready to play especially first-round game

553

00:37:58,400 –> 00:38:03,680

You got a big 10 game big 10 team struggle because they just that’s true very complacent fundamental teams

554

00:38:03,680 –> 00:38:06,720

They don’t get that energy that spark. That’s why they struggle a lot

555

00:38:06,720 –> 00:38:09,760

So I feel like he’s gonna be able to fire them up and then again

556

00:38:10,400 –> 00:38:15,440

I don’t think Houston’s any good. So I think I’ve got them easily getting past those two after that

557

00:38:15,440 –> 00:38:21,040

Uh, see they’re gonna I think it’s a lot of people have Drake or Kent State being upset there

558

00:38:21,520 –> 00:38:26,320

I got a I got a roof for Miami my neighbor Nigel pack is on that team. So I got a I got a roof for them

559

00:38:26,480 –> 00:38:32,160

Isaiah Wong’s good and after their big man isn’t heard that guy that got hurt against a Duke at the beginning of that game

560

00:38:32,400 –> 00:38:33,680

If he’s back

561

00:38:33,680 –> 00:38:38,160

He’s gonna be a problem. That’ll be a good game. That’ll be a game that I want to watch. I think me and Drake

562

00:38:38,240 –> 00:38:44,240

Absolutely, I think that Drake actually like does have a pretty decent chance and like honestly, whether it’s Indiana or Kent State

563

00:38:44,240 –> 00:38:46,960

I think that Drake realistically could make a sweet 16 run

564

00:38:47,600 –> 00:38:49,840

Um, I mean, I don’t know if they make it

565

00:38:50,000 –> 00:38:53,360

I mean, honestly like maybe even a lead eight because you get past sweet 16

566

00:38:53,360 –> 00:38:56,800

Like I we were talking about the Houston game like and then Iowa Auburn

567

00:38:57,200 –> 00:39:00,560

I think whether I don’t have Auburn winning in many of my brackets

568

00:39:00,560 –> 00:39:04,480

But I think whether Iowa or Auburn wins that game if they are moving on to the sweet 16

569

00:39:04,480 –> 00:39:07,280

Like I don’t see Houston making past around 32

570

00:39:07,680 –> 00:39:09,520

But then after that, you know, you got Drake

571

00:39:09,520 –> 00:39:12,720

It’s like anything can happen like you got a 12 seed against an eight or a nine

572

00:39:12,720 –> 00:39:15,840

I mean the 12s are scary this year. Yeah. Yeah

573

00:39:16,160 –> 00:39:21,280

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about Charleston and San Diego State. I mean, I don’t think they’re that insane

574

00:39:21,280 –> 00:39:24,560

So there’s a good chance Charleston could get there and Virginia has not looked good

575

00:39:24,880 –> 00:39:29,760

There’s a chance for him and can beat them and then you look oral Roberts. I mean, they’ve got admis, right?

576

00:39:30,320 –> 00:39:33,680

Yeah, he’s crazy. And then they’ve even got they’ve got like you talk about

577

00:39:34,320 –> 00:39:36,480

Size on their team that you might be like, oh, they might be under size

578

00:39:36,560 –> 00:39:40,160

They have a center who’s seven five in nails. Three is that like a 35% clip

579

00:39:40,160 –> 00:39:43,760

Yeah, like they potentially run into Purdue in what the

580

00:39:44,480 –> 00:39:45,920

In the sweet 16

581

00:39:45,920 –> 00:39:49,600

And even then like you think like oh, who’s gonna match up with eddy like don’t get me wrong. This guy’s not huge

582

00:39:49,600 –> 00:39:53,120

He’s not built like eddy, but like you still got the potential like size to guard him

583

00:39:53,120 –> 00:39:56,880

You can’t just do the little baby hook over him. He’s gonna play some muscle there

584

00:39:56,880 –> 00:40:01,840

Yeah, that guy’s blocked over 100 shots this year. So he averages like three a game the last 12s vcu

585

00:40:02,640 –> 00:40:09,040

St. Mary’s, I mean, they have a lot of tournament success. I feel like but again, that’s st. Mary’s that’s not a our team. So

586

00:40:09,040 –> 00:40:11,040

Yeah, they’re in the same conference as

587

00:40:11,840 –> 00:40:13,200

Gonzaga, correct?

588

00:40:13,200 –> 00:40:18,160

Yeah, so I don’t feel like they’re coming in as like a great team. I feel like vcu can very easily just like

589

00:40:18,800 –> 00:40:23,440

Knock them out first round. Yeah. And I mean vcu they uh, they cause a lot of turnovers

590

00:40:23,520 –> 00:40:25,520

They are like really pester you with the ball

591

00:40:25,600 –> 00:40:30,640

But st. Mary’s plays really really slow like I’m talking bottom five in the nation in tempo

592

00:40:30,800 –> 00:40:34,080

Yeah, I mean they took vcu like they cause a lot of turnovers

593

00:40:34,080 –> 00:40:38,800

They turn the ball over a lot too. So it’s like really volatile. I mean like some teams that can get streaky

594

00:40:39,040 –> 00:40:43,680

But I think if you can speed up st. Mary’s you can just get in the passing lanes. You can hound the ball handlers

595

00:40:43,680 –> 00:40:45,680

I think they genuinely do have

596

00:40:45,920 –> 00:40:50,800

Uh a chance to at least make it out of the first round because whenever you see a big change in tempo

597

00:40:51,120 –> 00:40:52,480

That’s just what throws a lot of people off

598

00:40:52,480 –> 00:40:57,840

Like I know that there are a lot of teams that play like really really slow and then just slow it up against the teams that run

599

00:40:57,920 –> 00:40:59,200

fast and

600

00:40:59,200 –> 00:41:01,200

That’s how you end up seeing a

601

00:41:01,200 –> 00:41:04,240

Seeing a an upset like I same thing with Kansas State

602

00:41:04,480 –> 00:41:10,720

Kansas State runs is one of the fastest tempo teams in the tournament in Montana State is one of the slowest

603

00:41:10,800 –> 00:41:13,840

I mean don’t get me wrong. Kansas State’s great both sides of the ball

604

00:41:13,840 –> 00:41:18,800

They’re like top 50 in adjusted efficiency for offense and defense and then one of the top teams at kampong

605

00:41:18,800 –> 00:41:23,520

They’ve got like two players that are 13 all-americans saying yeah all season

606

00:41:24,240 –> 00:41:27,600

But they turn the ball over like it’s going out of style like it’s unreal

607

00:41:27,600 –> 00:41:32,480

They can’t hold on to the ball and then Montana State forces a lot of turnovers and they play really slow

608

00:41:32,480 –> 00:41:36,800

So it’s like you’re not speaking people up fast break like you turn the ball over and then we’re gonna just

609

00:41:36,960 –> 00:41:40,000

We’re gonna work the ball around like it’s there’s not a lot of possessions there

610

00:41:40,480 –> 00:41:43,680

So I mean Montana State has got absolutely drilled

611

00:41:44,080 –> 00:41:49,040

Like their last three games against tournament competition. They lost all of them by at least 25 points. I believe

612

00:41:49,520 –> 00:41:52,000

So I mean that’s not that’s not positive

613

00:41:52,160 –> 00:41:55,440

But I do genuinely think that Montana State if they hit some shots

614

00:41:55,440 –> 00:42:00,080

Cause if you turn over slow the game down a little bit like Kansas State could be in trouble

615

00:42:01,040 –> 00:42:03,040

I hope not. I want to see Kansas State Kentucky

616

00:42:04,320 –> 00:42:08,000

Yeah, I genuinely I have some brackets where like I’ve came to say winning one of them

617

00:42:08,080 –> 00:42:10,800

I think they genuinely do have a chance to make a run

618

00:42:10,800 –> 00:42:15,680

But like I think that Montana State possibly has like could have their number just has like their kryptonite

619

00:42:16,960 –> 00:42:20,000

One game doesn’t matter who’s anything could happen kind of like last year like

620

00:42:20,000 –> 00:42:26,080

Barely anyone’s got st. Peter’s and then Kentucky’s like favorite to see to win the tournament lose first round, you know

621

00:42:26,160 –> 00:42:28,880

And then st. Peter’s goes on lead eight run. Yeah

622

00:42:29,440 –> 00:42:34,480

Could Providence be Kentucky in the first round? Yes, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I don’t know what Kentucky’s problem is

623

00:42:34,960 –> 00:42:38,640

I mean at the beginning of the season. I got a friend as a pretty good big Kentucky fan

624

00:42:38,640 –> 00:42:44,800

I talked to him and they kept saying that like Cal Perry was calling out plays and the players intentionally were not running them

625

00:42:44,880 –> 00:42:46,880

So that’s obviously a problem

626

00:42:46,880 –> 00:42:48,880

but it’s it’s so weird that

627

00:42:48,880 –> 00:42:53,200

They like I feel like it’s calipers fault more than a yeah, yeah

628

00:42:53,200 –> 00:42:56,320

Because they have so much talent and you brought back Sheeveway

629

00:42:57,040 –> 00:43:03,600

And you just can’t figure it out. I’m I’m wondering if maybe this team will be more of a tournament built team and less of a regular

630

00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:07,840

Season built team inverse of last year because Sheeveway is just going to do his thing

631

00:43:07,840 –> 00:43:10,800

But they at least have some other guys that are more scores

632

00:43:11,680 –> 00:43:14,320

Mainly Jacob Toppin who I don’t actually think is very good

633

00:43:14,320 –> 00:43:19,280

But he could have a game where he just goes off, but again Providence is a solid team

634

00:43:19,680 –> 00:43:23,680

I know that Kentucky in the past has always had problems with adjusting their game plan

635

00:43:23,680 –> 00:43:28,480

Especially with the St. Peter’s last year. It’s like they tried something St. Peter’s was ready for it didn’t work instead of being like

636

00:43:28,480 –> 00:43:30,960

You know what? Just didn’t work. Let’s try to pivot and focus on something else

637

00:43:31,280 –> 00:43:34,720

Cal Perry’s like no, we’re gonna play our strings keep hammering this but St. Peter’s just ready for it

638

00:43:34,720 –> 00:43:37,520

And it’s just Kentucky stood no chance. I mean, I think

639

00:43:38,000 –> 00:43:41,120

He might be open to it now that he’s been getting criticized like year in year out

640

00:43:41,120 –> 00:43:46,000

But I don’t know. I mean Kentucky is one of the best rebounding teams in the league and it might be like at all

641

00:43:46,000 –> 00:43:49,440

We’re gonna get so many offensive boards like we get a lot of second chance points as it is

642

00:43:49,600 –> 00:43:52,560

But Providence is just as good. There’s there are also a top team

643

00:43:53,120 –> 00:43:58,640

In rebounding and Kentucky has a tendency to go like absolutely ice cold from three like I’m talking

644

00:43:59,040 –> 00:44:02,160

Like one of 18 type numbers they’ll go out there put up as a team

645

00:44:02,560 –> 00:44:06,320

If Providence can just grab rebounds and then they shoot really well from the line too

646

00:44:06,320 –> 00:44:10,400

So they grab rebounds and then get to the line like you get possibly Sheeveway and foul trouble like

647

00:44:10,400 –> 00:44:16,960

That’s a big deal and that’s one of Kentucky’s biggest problems is like they’re in foul trouble consistently every game

648

00:44:17,360 –> 00:44:20,320

So constantly got guys like I think Providence like you attack the glass

649

00:44:20,880 –> 00:44:25,200

Uh, you attack the glass you attack the rim whenever you’re on offense like you draw fouls go to the line

650

00:44:25,280 –> 00:44:26,800

You know, you can make them

651

00:44:26,800 –> 00:44:30,560

I think that Providence does have a very very very realistic chance

652

00:44:30,800 –> 00:44:36,320

I’m looking at their notable games Providence. They so they beat ucon then lost twice, but they did beat ucon

653

00:44:36,400 –> 00:44:38,400

They beat marquette and lost larquette

654

00:44:38,400 –> 00:44:40,400

They split it with Creighton

655

00:44:41,360 –> 00:44:48,080

And their loot their other losses says they lost to Xavier twice TCU by 13 Miami only by 10. Those are pretty

656

00:44:48,560 –> 00:44:52,160

Those aren’t bad losses. Yeah, that sounds like yeah, those are those sound like pretty good games

657

00:44:52,320 –> 00:44:56,480

And one thing if you’re losing by 10 to like someone that’s absolutely terrible you’re playing

658

00:44:57,040 –> 00:44:59,440

Rutgers, I mean Rutgers isn’t terrible. I just first seen the camera

659

00:44:59,440 –> 00:45:02,880

My head they’re not even in the tournament which they got snubbed by the way, but you’re losing to a team that’s

660

00:45:02,880 –> 00:45:09,680

Like TCU is a six seed Miami’s a five seed Xavier’s a three seed like all your losses are coming to like high seeds

661

00:45:09,920 –> 00:45:15,200

I’m looking at uk and man lost by 10 to UCLA 16 to Gonzaga

662

00:45:15,520 –> 00:45:17,520

They did beat Tennessee twice

663

00:45:17,600 –> 00:45:22,240

But they lost to alabama by 26 a lot of good wins. They kept it close only nine to Kansas

664

00:45:23,440 –> 00:45:26,320

1. Texas a and m by nine split it with Arkansas

665

00:45:27,600 –> 00:45:30,000

Lost a michigan state by nine. That was a bad loss

666

00:45:30,000 –> 00:45:35,840

But then they beat Auburn by 32. Yeah, like beating Auburn by 32 and consistent. Yeah, exactly. It’s just it really it’s

667

00:45:36,800 –> 00:45:40,960

Depending on the night. There’s two different Kentucky teams like they like you said you beat Tennessee twice

668

00:45:41,120 –> 00:45:44,960

Those are both great wins. You beat them both times out like that’s a difficult thing to do against a four seed

669

00:45:45,040 –> 00:45:46,320

It’s gotta be matchups, right?

670

00:45:46,320 –> 00:45:50,560

Yeah, and then against Auburn you beat them by 32. They’re still a tournament team

671

00:45:50,560 –> 00:45:53,680

It’s like a lot like you said just a lot of teams are like, wow

672

00:45:54,080 –> 00:45:56,640

Can’t believe they beat him by that much and a lot of teams they should win or should

673

00:45:57,200 –> 00:45:59,200

Yeah, should beat them and then they just lose

674

00:45:59,200 –> 00:46:01,120

What’s the line of success for Kentucky?

675

00:46:01,120 –> 00:46:06,080

I feel like you have to make the sweet 16 for people to be somewhat happy and it’s tough because they have a tough draw

676

00:46:06,080 –> 00:46:09,520

They play Providence and then they’re most likely going to play Kansas State like that is tough

677

00:46:10,160 –> 00:46:11,040

but

678

00:46:11,040 –> 00:46:15,760

Like you said like people aren’t happy with Calabari right now you you think you know if if

679

00:46:16,560 –> 00:46:19,360

Maybe if it’s a close game against Providence and they lose, okay

680

00:46:19,520 –> 00:46:21,600

You know Providence is a great team like you guys have mentioned

681

00:46:22,080 –> 00:46:25,680

However, if they get blown out by Providence like by 20

682

00:46:25,680 –> 00:46:30,800

Like do people want Calabari fired or I I’ve seen I could see that happening

683

00:46:31,200 –> 00:46:35,280

I’ve seen people that kind of want him gone already like they’re just kind of fed up like what are you doing?

684

00:46:35,280 –> 00:46:38,080

Like you recruit well, but then you coach like shit. Yep

685

00:46:38,640 –> 00:46:39,760

so

686

00:46:39,760 –> 00:46:40,640

I mean

687

00:46:40,640 –> 00:46:46,400

I think that I actually have seen a few reports that now that Texas’s job is open because they fired Chris Beard

688

00:46:46,880 –> 00:46:52,080

I if I’m if I’m then I’m just signing your interim head coach. They’re hiring that guy. He’s too good. Fantastic

689

00:46:52,160 –> 00:46:54,480

But there have been reports there have been reports that

690

00:46:54,480 –> 00:46:58,320

John Calabari and Texas have mutual interest

691

00:46:58,880 –> 00:47:05,040

So, I mean if you’re gonna jump ship why not go to a team that’s already number like in possibly the best basketball conference in the world

692

00:47:05,520 –> 00:47:09,760

Gonna go in the world in the nation you go over to like another

693

00:47:10,320 –> 00:47:13,920

Uh, they’re jumping ship to the sec but you go to another fantastic program

694

00:47:14,320 –> 00:47:17,200

Which I hate saying because I hate Texas so much but

695

00:47:17,920 –> 00:47:23,440

But think about the consequences like how many you said the players love the new new interim coach

696

00:47:23,440 –> 00:47:26,320

How many people are gonna jump ship because Calabari is coming over?

697

00:47:27,040 –> 00:47:31,760

Like you say they have a good program sure and yeah Calabari Calabari is good at recruiting

698

00:47:32,320 –> 00:47:36,320

Yeah, but you have that established program at Texas if players jump ship

699

00:47:37,200 –> 00:47:39,760

You know anything can happen. Yeah, I mean

700

00:47:40,480 –> 00:47:44,320

Texas has got some players that I believe are done after this year

701

00:47:44,320 –> 00:47:47,200

So it’s there’s gonna have a little bit of roster turnover naturally

702

00:47:47,680 –> 00:47:51,120

But I mean Kentucky’s already got like I think a pretty solid recruiting class

703

00:47:51,120 –> 00:47:56,800

You got players that are expecting coach Cal to be there and this late like say after the tournament’s done

704

00:47:56,800 –> 00:47:58,400

He’s like, you know what? I’m going to Texas like at this late

705

00:47:58,400 –> 00:48:01,840

Can these players jet like actually be like, you know what? I’m just gonna go over to

706

00:48:02,320 –> 00:48:08,240

To Texas like let me just get out of my my sign and my signing and leave like I’m looking at Texas’s

707

00:48:09,760 –> 00:48:12,480

Rotation right now they got Serge of Ari rice

708

00:48:13,200 –> 00:48:18,080

Uh, Dylan de Sioux brought Cunningham Marcus Carr Christian Bishop Timmy Allen

709

00:48:18,080 –> 00:48:22,400

They all of them get very serious rotational minutes and all of them are seniors

710

00:48:22,640 –> 00:48:28,800

The only players on their team that are not seniors that actually get in are Dylan de Sioux

711

00:48:29,360 –> 00:48:31,360

Entirely’s hunter off the top of my head

712

00:48:31,520 –> 00:48:35,280

Like they they have maybe two players returning that get real rotational minutes for them

713

00:48:36,000 –> 00:48:40,640

Um, so that’s definitely a problem. Artario Morris gets into so I mean that’s another one, but

714

00:48:41,600 –> 00:48:45,600

I mean jumping ship could be a problem, but there’s already gonna be a lot of players gone anyway, so

715

00:48:45,600 –> 00:48:47,600

So

716

00:48:47,680 –> 00:48:50,080

Just one last question that I wanted to bring up

717

00:48:50,080 –> 00:48:53,040

What team do you think got snubbed by the selection committee?

718

00:48:53,040 –> 00:48:55,840

Like they’re in the tournament, but like you don’t agree with their seed

719

00:48:55,920 –> 00:49:00,480

You don’t agree with like who they’re playing Texas in them. Yes. That’s that’s absolutely

720

00:49:01,120 –> 00:49:04,640

I will also agree. Obviously this they didn’t get in Rutgers

721

00:49:05,120 –> 00:49:09,840

Was a snub, but they just lost their first game as the top seed at home. Like that was pathetic

722

00:49:09,920 –> 00:49:13,840

So I mean the selection committee is kind of got to have a happy smile for that one

723

00:49:13,840 –> 00:49:17,200

Um, but yeah, Texas A&M. I think they’re really good

724

00:49:17,920 –> 00:49:22,880

That was tough. Yeah, I know and it’s and Kentucky’s just said like they lost first round of the sec

725

00:49:23,440 –> 00:49:28,400

Tournament and like we said good wins really bad losses and Texas A&M’s been playing really really well

726

00:49:28,480 –> 00:49:32,080

It’s like how do you give Kentucky after how they’ve been playing the past month?

727

00:49:32,400 –> 00:49:37,680

How do you give them a six seed and then Texas A&M a seven seed and even then you give them probably the best

728

00:49:38,000 –> 00:49:41,120

Like hottest 10 seed in the tournament in Penn State like genuinely

729

00:49:41,120 –> 00:49:45,280

I Penn State has final four potential and you’re gonna go ahead and you’re gonna be like, you know what?

730

00:49:45,360 –> 00:49:48,960

Texan we’re gonna give you a lower seed than what you deserve and then we’re gonna give you the hardest match up for that

731

00:49:49,040 –> 00:49:54,080

I would have you toss a with Penn State on the sides of the bracket because then you get Penn State, Missouri

732

00:49:54,160 –> 00:49:56,880

Which I feel like both of those teams were like bubble ish teams

733

00:49:57,280 –> 00:50:02,960

But then the winner plays Arizona and I think Penn State has a much better chance of matching up with Arizona compared to Utah State

734

00:50:03,280 –> 00:50:06,240

And then you kind of gift Texas A&M a game against Utah

735

00:50:06,320 –> 00:50:07,840

I still think Utah State is not bad

736

00:50:07,840 –> 00:50:12,720

But Texas A&M expected to win that one and then they get to go up against Texas in a massive rivalry game

737

00:50:13,120 –> 00:50:17,600

And that would just be great. Whereas there’s a very very good chance Penn State’s taking out A&M

738

00:50:17,760 –> 00:50:23,120

Yeah, not only that Texas A&M got a lower seed than they should have they if they get out of the Penn State match up

739

00:50:23,120 –> 00:50:26,560

Which could not happen they run immediately into Texas and we all know

740

00:50:27,440 –> 00:50:29,040

How that can go

741

00:50:29,040 –> 00:50:33,280

Yeah, that’s Texas A&M’s kind of just like the little brothers like there’s some years that they get like they are better

742

00:50:33,280 –> 00:50:35,360

But historically it’s just Texas just trounces them

743

00:50:35,360 –> 00:50:41,920

Yeah, and honestly, I think you were talking about Mizzou. I think Mizzou genuinely could be a pretty good team

744

00:50:42,240 –> 00:50:44,240

So I’m just I’m a Missouri fan

745

00:50:45,120 –> 00:50:47,120

I’m scared against Utah State

746

00:50:47,200 –> 00:50:53,360

I just learned a lot of people saying Utah State might be something Utah State is favorite in the game technically

747

00:50:53,600 –> 00:50:57,200

Really? I think and honestly, I think Mizzou kind of got like slighted a little bit with their seat

748

00:50:57,280 –> 00:50:59,280

Like I know a lot of fans that were

749

00:51:00,000 –> 00:51:03,120

Unhappy with being a seven. I mean, I don’t know maybe you move them up to a six

750

00:51:03,120 –> 00:51:06,160

Yeah, I mean, I don’t mind a seven for them, but I think they’re actually like

751

00:51:07,120 –> 00:51:11,760

Pretty pretty good for a seven so the good value. I would say it’s tough though because I’m looking at the sixes

752

00:51:11,840 –> 00:51:13,840

I think Kentucky does deserve the six

753

00:51:14,960 –> 00:51:19,040

TCU I think deserves the six Creighton was pretty good Creighton deserves the six

754

00:51:19,360 –> 00:51:24,080

Iowa State maybe not but yeah because of how good the big 12 was you kind of got a

755

00:51:24,720 –> 00:51:29,920

Favor them a little bit there. It’s kind of the way that West Virginia got a nine and they won not even 20 games. Yeah

756

00:51:29,920 –> 00:51:36,400

Yeah, which if you’re looking at Mizzou, I mean, they lost to Arkansas. They beat Kentucky twice if I’m not mistaken

757

00:51:37,120 –> 00:51:39,120

Lost the Texas A&M

758

00:51:39,680 –> 00:51:43,920

They beat Tennessee in the regular season in a nail biter and then they beat them in the tournament

759

00:51:44,880 –> 00:51:46,160

Let’s see

760

00:51:46,160 –> 00:51:51,200

They lost to Kansas by 28. Yeah, that was not a good game to watch. I was not happy about that

761

00:51:52,000 –> 00:51:54,880

They lost to Texas A&M twice. Yeah, so I mean

762

00:51:55,840 –> 00:51:58,800

I think a seven seat is right just with how the season has gone

763

00:51:58,800 –> 00:52:04,000

I just think they got screwed. I don’t want to say screwed because it’ll be a good matchup. I’m looking forward to it

764

00:52:04,320 –> 00:52:05,280

I just

765

00:52:05,280 –> 00:52:07,280

Utah State could definitely hand it to us and yeah

766

00:52:07,600 –> 00:52:12,880

But I think you might have a better chance if you do get past Utah State of beating Arizona compared to some of those other teams

767

00:52:12,880 –> 00:52:15,680

Obviously, Arizona I think is very very good and they have a massive guy

768

00:52:16,240 –> 00:52:23,120

But they’ve had some weird games this season. Obviously, I don’t watch as enough pack 12 as I probably should

769

00:52:23,280 –> 00:52:28,160

But I don’t want to stay up that late. Yeah, but I mean, I’m looking they lost to organ by 19

770

00:52:28,160 –> 00:52:30,160

They split with Utah

771

00:52:31,920 –> 00:52:34,720

They beat Tennessee by five they beat San Diego State by 17

772

00:52:34,800 –> 00:52:38,800

They be Creighton by two, but that was I think during Creighton stretch where they were struggling a little bit

773

00:52:38,880 –> 00:52:40,960

Yeah, they lost six in a row. Yeah, so

774

00:52:41,680 –> 00:52:45,200

But I know that one of the biggest back to mizu. I know that one of the biggest

775

00:52:46,080 –> 00:52:46,880

um

776

00:52:46,880 –> 00:52:48,880

indicators I guess of

777

00:52:49,360 –> 00:52:54,800

Not maybe upsets but just like runs in general is the is the turnovers in your games like whether, you know

778

00:52:54,800 –> 00:52:58,320

You’re turning it over a lot or like you’re causing a lot of turnovers

779

00:52:58,480 –> 00:53:00,720

Obviously, you want to force a lot of turnovers not turn the ball over

780

00:53:01,120 –> 00:53:02,080

I think

781

00:53:02,080 –> 00:53:04,080

Out of the power five conferences

782

00:53:04,080 –> 00:53:09,760

Mizzou has forced the most amount of opponent turnovers out of every team and they turn the ball over less than average

783

00:53:09,840 –> 00:53:13,840

I think that that’s a problem that like no one’s going to want to face like if you look at the graph

784

00:53:14,160 –> 00:53:17,200

That I’ve got pulled up you want to be as top right as possible

785

00:53:17,680 –> 00:53:22,800

And they’re not as right as you would like. I mean, there’s some teams that turn the ball over less than 270 times

786

00:53:22,800 –> 00:53:27,200

Which is unbelievable, but they’re forcing so many turnovers. It’s like they’re almost an outlier in this graph

787

00:53:28,160 –> 00:53:32,480

And that’s that’s the thing too. It worked against alabama in the semi final the sec tournament

788

00:53:32,480 –> 00:53:37,280

Like we were neck and neck with alabama the whole game except we weren’t getting any baskets on the other end

789

00:53:37,280 –> 00:53:41,360

We were having empty possessions and that’s what I’m worried about you can force these turnovers

790

00:53:41,440 –> 00:53:43,440

But if you can’t make anything come of it

791

00:53:43,520 –> 00:53:49,920

Then you know, you’ll give utah stay to chance to bounce back and then you just let it get away and that’s how you lose these games

792

00:53:49,920 –> 00:53:53,680

Yeah, plus utah. I’m looking they have a junior and a senior

793

00:53:53,840 –> 00:53:56,240

They have a junior guard and a senior forward

794

00:53:56,240 –> 00:54:02,640

So having some age is gonna help against some of those turnovers or maybe you draw a team that’s maybe younger

795

00:54:02,960 –> 00:54:07,200

You can get on a little bit, but at the end of the day they have utah state doesn’t play to anybody

796

00:54:07,680 –> 00:54:10,560

So there’s a chance they just haven’t seen that if you guys come out

797

00:54:10,720 –> 00:54:15,680

Maybe like an aggressive full court trapping press and you can get them off the rocks right off the beginning get up

798

00:54:15,760 –> 00:54:17,040

Maybe like 10

799

00:54:17,040 –> 00:54:19,040

in the first five minutes

800

00:54:19,040 –> 00:54:21,120

They may just be an absolute blow out from there

801

00:54:21,200 –> 00:54:25,600

But and mizou might have gone cold like they couldn’t cash in on anything against alabama

802

00:54:25,760 –> 00:54:32,320

But on the year they shoot almost a little bit above 36 percent like almost 37 percent from three which is above average

803

00:54:32,720 –> 00:54:37,600

Like in the power five, uh, they shoot 76 from the free throw line above average again

804

00:54:37,920 –> 00:54:41,040

So I mean the opportunities are there. It’s just it

805

00:54:41,520 –> 00:54:44,800

I guess it does really come down to like teams that are hot teams that are like streaky

806

00:54:44,800 –> 00:54:50,720

But consistently mizou has been a team that has shown some traits that can be very good

807

00:54:50,720 –> 00:54:53,040

It’s just some nights. They just it’s not the night. Yeah

808

00:54:53,920 –> 00:54:59,600

Just the nca tournament is basically our you know, we’re bane of our existence. We haven’t I’m a perdu fan

809

00:54:59,680 –> 00:55:05,600

So, okay, I see what you’re saying, but hold on a second. Hey, hey our last chance to possibly win the tournament

810

00:55:05,600 –> 00:55:07,920

We were a two seed and we lost a norfolk state

811

00:55:07,920 –> 00:55:15,520

That was embarrassing. Yeah, we lost in texas a couple years ago. We lost to st. Peter’s last year. Yeah

812

00:55:16,080 –> 00:55:21,280

I’m just I’m just worried. That’s all I mean and plus we got a very tough

813

00:55:22,000 –> 00:55:24,560

Uh bracket like on our end like a tough run

814

00:55:25,200 –> 00:55:27,600

Yeah, there’s a lot of really good teams in the south actually

815

00:55:28,160 –> 00:55:31,680

Honestly, I know that like as a west virgin fan going to sound biased this

816

00:55:31,840 –> 00:55:36,880

But I genuinely think that we could be pretty solid because when we’re we’re kind of a streaky team

817

00:55:36,880 –> 00:55:41,040

Like I won’t I won’t lie. Eric stevenson takes a very large majority of our shots

818

00:55:41,520 –> 00:55:47,120

Like I think he takes the 10th most amount of uh, or the 10th highest share of a team’s shots

819

00:55:47,680 –> 00:55:49,520

But he’s been hot recently

820

00:55:49,520 –> 00:55:53,440

Like I think he’s averaged over 23 and a half over past like seven games

821

00:55:53,600 –> 00:55:57,600

We’ve got some good wins. We smoked Oklahoma State only lost to kansas by two at kansas

822

00:55:57,600 –> 00:56:02,320

And like I don’t even know if they have a home loss this year be Iowa state at Iowa Iowa state where they’re damn

823

00:56:02,320 –> 00:56:08,720

You’re unbeatable beat kansas state by eight when they were ranked 11 in the nation and even our other guys like emet matthews

824

00:56:08,960 –> 00:56:14,320

Um, kitty johnson, they both really turned it up. I mean it really like you said it’s like Evan said earlier

825

00:56:14,400 –> 00:56:18,480

It’s uh, it just comes down to one night and who they if you’re hot, you know, you’re hot

826

00:56:18,560 –> 00:56:23,280

like sometimes it’s just not much of the team can do about it and west virginia is a streaky team and

827

00:56:23,920 –> 00:56:28,560

We’re hot at the right time for the record. I have west virginia in most of my brackets making out the first round

828

00:56:28,560 –> 00:56:33,760

So it’s just they have to run into alabama, which you know the only thing that scares me the most virginia is what

829

00:56:33,920 –> 00:56:38,240

Maryland team shows up which I mean that goes the same for you guys as well. But like Maryland has beat

830

00:56:38,960 –> 00:56:40,800

I think they beat purdue iu

831

00:56:40,800 –> 00:56:46,000

They beat like especially at home at home. Maryland was insane and they kind of just destroyed the big 10 when they played a home

832

00:56:46,320 –> 00:56:49,440

So if the at home, Maryland team shows up you guys might be in trouble

833

00:56:49,440 –> 00:56:53,200

But if the road, Maryland team shows up, I feel like you guys should have that one fine sure hope

834

00:56:53,200 –> 00:56:57,200

So then you get a run into alabama. So yeah, which sucks because like we’re playing close

835

00:56:57,200 –> 00:57:01,280

We’re playing in alabama. So it’s like, you know, oh, we’ll go against Maryland. They got to travel

836

00:57:01,280 –> 00:57:03,760

But then you get the second round you got alabama at a home game

837

00:57:04,160 –> 00:57:06,160

Which sucks, but I mean

838

00:57:06,880 –> 00:57:08,000

This is gonna sound terrible

839

00:57:08,000 –> 00:57:13,440

But as a west virginia fan kind of hoping that someone’s like, you know what I am gonna press charges on brandon miller

840

00:57:13,440 –> 00:57:19,600

He’s just out for the game. I mean like I said terrible to say but that would be great for my team possibly winning another game

841

00:57:19,600 –> 00:57:26,480

Only way I see it happen. You hear that he got a armed guards for the tournament security detail. Yeah, yeah

842

00:57:27,120 –> 00:57:30,960

Which makes me think he’s gonna play. There’s no chance that he doesn’t I don’t think at this point

843

00:57:30,960 –> 00:57:32,880

I feel like if he wasn’t gonna play

844

00:57:32,880 –> 00:57:38,640

Then the school would have been the people to make that decision earlier and since they didn’t make that decision earlier

845

00:57:38,640 –> 00:57:41,280

There’s no chance that he’s getting held out for the tournament

846

00:57:41,840 –> 00:57:44,640

And I’m not gonna lie alabama is my pick to win it

847

00:57:44,640 –> 00:57:50,080

Um, they remind me of the kentucky team back when they had anthony davis because they have that one dude

848

00:57:50,240 –> 00:57:53,920

That’s just insane and then there’s a lot of other very solid players around them

849

00:57:54,240 –> 00:57:57,360

That don’t have to be insane every night because he’s insane every night

850

00:57:57,360 –> 00:58:01,600

But then you even look at that last game they just played brandon miller struggled in the first half

851

00:58:02,080 –> 00:58:07,120

And then that other there center guy had a great first half and then quinterly had a great first half

852

00:58:07,360 –> 00:58:13,520

And then the second half brandon miller hits like four straight threes posterizes a guy and then they blow the team out

853

00:58:13,520 –> 00:58:16,160

So they they look really good

854

00:58:17,840 –> 00:58:22,640

Realistically, who do you guys think is going to win? I know even just said alabama, but what about you guys?

855

00:58:24,080 –> 00:58:27,440

See I want to say alabama too, but if I was not

856

00:58:28,400 –> 00:58:30,080

ah man, that’s

857

00:58:30,080 –> 00:58:32,080

that’s tough

858

00:58:32,640 –> 00:58:36,240

Texas I think Texas can do it because i’m looking at mine right now

859

00:58:36,240 –> 00:58:41,200

And I honestly would not be surprised if baler squeaked like went all the way

860

00:58:41,200 –> 00:58:44,480

Baler struggles in the tournament of they won the other year

861

00:58:44,480 –> 00:58:47,920

But baler has lost a lot of first round bad upsets

862

00:58:48,080 –> 00:58:51,520

And so I want to keep an eye on that plus then they play cretin which cretin

863

00:58:51,920 –> 00:58:56,880

Is just one of those weird teams that doesn’t play like what baler plays or has seen before really this season

864

00:58:57,280 –> 00:58:59,280

and honestly like it

865

00:58:59,840 –> 00:59:05,280

Baler takes a lot a lot a lot of tough shots they average the most amount of points a game

866

00:59:05,280 –> 00:59:11,520

I’ll have shots off of the dribble. I think it’s like close to 20 points. It’s like 15 to 20 points somewhere in that range

867

00:59:11,520 –> 00:59:16,480

And it’s like that’s a lot of shots to be just like taking pull-ups or like off the dribble stop and pop

868

00:59:16,480 –> 00:59:21,040

You know those are not easy shots by any means and when you’ve got players like that like you got flagler

869

00:59:21,040 –> 00:59:26,240

You got lj crier. You got jaylen bridges. You got kionk George exactly. I was saving him for last best for last

870

00:59:26,720 –> 00:59:30,720

Like they’ve got the best backcourt and then you’ve got chamochacho who comes back great defensive player

871

00:59:30,720 –> 00:59:35,600

I mean if those tough shots keep falling which they’ve consistently have been doing I think they’re tough

872

00:59:37,120 –> 00:59:39,120

I also could see them just you know

873

00:59:40,320 –> 00:59:45,360

They lose to Iowa State three times. Yeah, exactly. They’ve got some great wins. They be UCLA and saga

874

00:59:45,440 –> 00:59:52,960

They split with Kansas split with Texas. They got blown out by 26 the marquette. They lost twice to Kansas state and Iowa State beat them three times

875

00:59:53,040 –> 00:59:57,680

So they’re just another team that it depends on which night if they have a great tournament

876

00:59:57,680 –> 01:00:01,120

They’re gonna have a great tournament, but one bad night. They could be out. Yeah, quickly

877

01:00:01,200 –> 01:00:04,480

They’re a little risky, but I think but like you like going off those points

878

01:00:04,480 –> 01:00:08,080

I think if they can keep hitting those shots with they wish they have consistently done all year

879

01:00:08,560 –> 01:00:10,240

I could see them definitely like

880

01:00:10,240 –> 01:00:13,680

In the big dance plus of Alabama goes down in some weird upset

881

01:00:13,920 –> 01:00:15,920

You guys are walking into the final four

882

01:00:16,480 –> 01:00:22,240

Because if they can get out of their little section, you’re gonna get Virginia or San Diego state most likely just

883

01:00:23,680 –> 01:00:25,680

Either of them are two

884

01:00:25,680 –> 01:00:30,080

No, those are some week five and four seats and honestly like Jalen bridges

885

01:00:30,720 –> 01:00:32,080

I don’t think he’s fantastic

886

01:00:32,080 –> 01:00:35,360

But I think he might be like an x factor because you know what you’re gonna get from other players

887

01:00:35,360 –> 01:00:38,480

But Jalen bridges is so like hot and cold one night like it’s

888

01:00:39,360 –> 01:00:43,520

Against isu in the game. They lost in the quarterfinals of the big 12 championship

889

01:00:43,680 –> 01:00:48,320

He went 10 for 11 from the field 28 points and then they lost but then they also lost isu

890

01:00:48,800 –> 01:00:52,400

Um last game of the regular season. He had five points on nine shots one to nine

891

01:00:52,400 –> 01:00:55,680

They have those good wins against texas. He’s six to ten puts up 17

892

01:00:56,000 –> 01:00:58,800

Puts up 14 against Oklahoma State later on the week they win

893

01:00:58,880 –> 01:01:01,360

It’s just he plays bad teams that plays really good

894

01:01:01,920 –> 01:01:04,800

And it plays against good teams and like rarely puts up a good game

895

01:01:04,880 –> 01:01:08,080

So I there are some games where he shows out and the team just looks fantastic

896

01:01:08,160 –> 01:01:11,840

I really think that if he’s hitting shots, then they’re gonna be a scary team to beat

897

01:01:12,880 –> 01:01:14,400

Cole you made a face

898

01:01:14,400 –> 01:01:16,800

um, this has nothing to do with march badness, but

899

01:01:17,520 –> 01:01:20,640

uh, myles sanders is signing with the carolina panthers

900

01:01:20,640 –> 01:01:24,080

Are we not gonna talk about how the eagles are gonna fall off a cliff?

901

01:01:24,160 –> 01:01:27,200

Yup. I’m here for it too. I’m here for it too

902

01:01:28,240 –> 01:01:35,600

Oh, yeah, yeah, and so because they also lost jivan hargrave. It was probably their best detackle last year. They just lost

903

01:01:37,200 –> 01:01:40,160

TJ edwards who is their best linebacker last year

904

01:01:40,880 –> 01:01:45,040

And he went to the bears and now they just lost their best defensive back in terry assay

905

01:01:45,840 –> 01:01:48,880

So it’s not they really lost terry assay. They had him and cut him

906

01:01:48,880 –> 01:01:53,920

But still, you know what? I’m so they couldn’t work out a struck a new contract for him, which this is what this is why

907

01:01:54,880 –> 01:01:59,840

It’s so hard to repeat then afl because all your guys you go really far and then they all want money

908

01:02:00,720 –> 01:02:04,800

They don’t even just run out of money even brad barrier. It’s like he was great for them last year too

909

01:02:04,880 –> 01:02:07,920

He’s probably not gonna come back. I mean they they resigned them already. They didn’t there

910

01:02:08,640 –> 01:02:13,840

But the reason people are thinking they’re getting rid of sleigh is because his contract is bigger than everyone else’s

911

01:02:14,240 –> 01:02:16,320

So they’ll get rid of him be able to sign

912

01:02:16,320 –> 01:02:17,680

a

913

01:02:17,680 –> 01:02:19,680

Chauncey gardener Johnson back

914

01:02:19,760 –> 01:02:22,240

And then draft another like young cornerback

915

01:02:22,880 –> 01:02:25,440

I think like divan will there spoon because they have like an eighth overall pick

916

01:02:26,320 –> 01:02:30,000

And then just basically rebuild what they just had but their d-line and

917

01:02:30,640 –> 01:02:35,280

Their front sevens are going to be awful with the five guys or however many it was that they’ve already lost

918

01:02:36,480 –> 01:02:40,720

Uh, I never actually officially gave my pick for the championship

919

01:02:40,720 –> 01:02:47,760

But I’m looking and it’s just one of those like I feel I’ve made so many brackets and I do not have one repeat winner. I

920

01:02:48,960 –> 01:02:54,640

Alabama they uh, I j. Bill has said they’re like Noah’s Ark. They have two of everything and it’s

921

01:02:55,440 –> 01:03:01,360

They got a star player. They got a bunch of great players around him. I mean, I genuinely do think they have a chance to win the championship

922

01:03:01,920 –> 01:03:06,080

I’m going region by region here. I arizona. I mean kind of going back to the

923

01:03:06,080 –> 01:03:11,040

No, back to the Houston thing. It’s one of those words like there’s not in a conference that traditionally wins. They choke

924

01:03:11,120 –> 01:03:14,960

I just they could pull it out and I get my bias might just be wiped out after that

925

01:03:14,960 –> 01:03:20,080

But like I just don’t really see a way that they make a run Purdue. I think they have possibly what it takes

926

01:03:20,480 –> 01:03:25,200

I mean, Evan would love to see it happen. I think they’re constructed fantastic around zack

927

01:03:25,280 –> 01:03:27,520

Edie have a bunch of dudes that are really like versatile

928

01:03:28,000 –> 01:03:34,080

Shoot the 3 well 3 and d wings and you’ve got a guy that just holds it down in the paint and then it’s a fantastic passer while being 7 4

929

01:03:34,080 –> 01:03:40,000

That’s huge. I’m scared though. So obviously freshman guards. They played great all season

930

01:03:40,000 –> 01:03:44,960

lawyer has not hit a shot in probably half of this season and then

931

01:03:45,840 –> 01:03:49,600

I mean Kale Smith or can’t whatever his name is Smith has been great

932

01:03:50,160 –> 01:03:56,000

Um, but freshman guards in a tournament, especially like I’m looking we might play Memphis and then there’s a chance we played Duke

933

01:03:56,880 –> 01:04:00,880

Those guards are going to give us fits. I mean our defense is not bad

934

01:04:00,880 –> 01:04:05,360

It’s offensively we can’t handle pressure and Memphis and Duke both have extremely athletic

935

01:04:05,360 –> 01:04:08,880

Obviously we beat Duke at the beginning, but that was not the same Duke team. We’re playing now

936

01:04:09,520 –> 01:04:15,040

um, so that scares me early on and then at the end of the day if we hit wide open

937

01:04:15,040 –> 01:04:18,080

We would shoot 40% on wide open threes

938

01:04:18,640 –> 01:04:20,240

Nobody would beat us

939

01:04:20,240 –> 01:04:25,440

Nobody would and we don’t like those at the end of the game because we for some reason we don’t know how to shoot free throws or break a press

940

01:04:25,520 –> 01:04:27,040

but

941

01:04:27,040 –> 01:04:31,040

I’m very very nervous because we do have what it takes and that’s why it hurts

942

01:04:31,920 –> 01:04:38,480

But yeah, I mean it’s very scary. I’m I’m looking and I I genuinely think that out of the ones and two seeds at least

943

01:04:38,480 –> 01:04:40,480

I think alabama per do

944

01:04:41,440 –> 01:04:44,560

Texas and kansas have what it takes to win the championship

945

01:04:45,040 –> 01:04:49,680

I don’t think ucla does it because like I said, I mean pack 12 teams are always like really good

946

01:04:49,760 –> 01:04:53,120

They’ve got like a few like top top end teams like three teams there

947

01:04:53,120 –> 01:04:58,480

They’re just really good and a bunch of big fall off, but then they get into the tournament and they just fold

948

01:04:58,560 –> 01:05:01,200

Like they do not play well. They’re already missing one of their best players

949

01:05:02,000 –> 01:05:07,200

Honestly, kansas like we didn’t really talk about him much. It’s so difficult to repeat. Yes, but you’ve got

950

01:05:07,920 –> 01:05:12,160

potentially national player of the year jaylon wilson. He’s been insane. You got grady dick who’s

951

01:05:13,200 –> 01:05:15,840

Probably the second best freshman in the nation behind brandon miller

952

01:05:16,640 –> 01:05:18,080

um

953

01:05:18,080 –> 01:05:24,400

Kansas, I feel like I feel like they can probably make a decent push, but they’re whoever their point guard is

954

01:05:24,400 –> 01:05:26,400

I forget his name has looked horrible

955

01:05:26,800 –> 01:05:28,800

That do one Harris. Yeah. Yeah

956

01:05:28,880 –> 01:05:32,000

And like at the beginning like I was watching a lot of kansas games in the middle of the season

957

01:05:32,080 –> 01:05:34,000

And whenever he scored like 10 or more points

958

01:05:34,000 –> 01:05:37,600

They didn’t lose and then in all of their losses he averaged like two points a game

959

01:05:38,160 –> 01:05:44,320

Five turnovers or something like that. So if he can’t play when they play like I think the walk past arkins cell illinois

960

01:05:44,320 –> 01:05:49,760

Illinois is never a good tournament team. So they’re somehow squeaking out there and then what they get uconn same arries probably

961

01:05:50,000 –> 01:05:54,320

I think iona could beat uconn. I don’t know if we talk about that. I think it could happen like genuinely

962

01:05:54,400 –> 01:05:57,840

Let’s just say by numbers most likely they’re gonna get uconn there

963

01:05:58,800 –> 01:06:01,040

I feel like they can walk past uconn pretty easily

964

01:06:02,000 –> 01:06:04,800

Out of the bottom of the bracket. I don’t see anybody good there

965

01:06:04,880 –> 01:06:09,520

So I feel like kansas has the best walk into a final four. Yeah, but after that

966

01:06:09,520 –> 01:06:15,440

I don’t I don’t really like them. I feel like at one point they’re gonna have a day where they can’t shoot

967

01:06:16,960 –> 01:06:18,960

But who’s their best player

968

01:06:18,960 –> 01:06:19,760

jenn Wilson

969

01:06:19,760 –> 01:06:24,160

Wilson’s gonna have an off night and they’re not gonna figure out how to score because greedy dick has not looked good recently

970

01:06:24,320 –> 01:06:30,160

No, the in both their losses to texas. He’s looked terrible and they got trounced by texas like i’m talking 30 point ls

971

01:06:30,240 –> 01:06:32,480

They got absolutely obliterated and that’s the problem

972

01:06:32,480 –> 01:06:36,480

Like I look at a lot of other a lot of these other teams they can get down pretty quick

973

01:06:36,480 –> 01:06:39,440

But they’ll always sort of figure out a way to get back into the games

974

01:06:40,560 –> 01:06:45,840

Kansas has had some bad losses. Yeah, if you can’t keep it close if you don’t have it at the start

975

01:06:46,240 –> 01:06:48,240

Like alabama didn’t have it at the start

976

01:06:48,240 –> 01:06:50,720

But they still are up at the end of that sec championship game

977

01:06:50,720 –> 01:06:53,360

And then they blew out the second half when they finally figured it out

978

01:06:53,760 –> 01:06:57,840

Kansas if they don’t get going well, then they just kind of fall apart

979

01:06:58,000 –> 01:07:03,600

Yeah, I mean there’s there’s a good and bad side to being streaky, you know, sometimes you’re like, oh, you know what like we’re streaky

980

01:07:03,600 –> 01:07:05,600

So we can we can bring this back

981

01:07:05,600 –> 01:07:12,560

But you’re also prone to just giving up runs, but if you’re not streaky, you’re like, oh, we’re consistent say someone else goes up

982

01:07:12,640 –> 01:07:16,800

Puts up 15. Oh run on you. How do you come back from that if you’re just not capable of putting together those types of runs?

983

01:07:16,800 –> 01:07:19,360

Which Kansas just has not really been this year

984

01:07:20,160 –> 01:07:25,200

So, I mean how often do you really see someone win a championship winning wire leading wire to wire and all six of their games?

985

01:07:25,360 –> 01:07:27,680

You just don’t really see it. I’m looking at how

986

01:07:27,680 –> 01:07:35,360

Obviously they won their tournaments. That’s how they got in they lost to Kentucky by 32 and by to Yale by 46 points

987

01:07:35,680 –> 01:07:38,080

Who is it Howard did? Yeah. Oh wow

988

01:07:39,680 –> 01:07:42,480

I don’t how do you lose to Kentucky by 30?

989

01:07:42,800 –> 01:07:47,440

What was it again? 32 I get it if you’re like a small school like they’re an hbcu. I believe so they’re not huge

990

01:07:47,440 –> 01:07:51,040

But yeah, that’s not great. That’s not great a bunch of computer engineers

991

01:07:51,920 –> 01:07:56,240

They’re rolling out a calculus class and then spanking them. That’s just not great for the ego. I won’t lie

992

01:07:56,240 –> 01:07:58,240

Um

993

01:07:58,480 –> 01:08:03,520

But genuinely looking out of the looking outside of the ones and twos I’m looking around I think

994

01:08:04,480 –> 01:08:06,480

Baylor maybe for a championship

995

01:08:07,200 –> 01:08:10,960

I think Kansas State does genuinely genuinely have what it takes to win a championship

996

01:08:11,840 –> 01:08:17,280

Duke possibly as a as a five possibly I hate saying that because I’m a UNC fan

997

01:08:17,360 –> 01:08:22,800

But Duke is coming in very hot. I could genuinely see them in the final right now. They don’t see

998

01:08:22,800 –> 01:08:25,920

The Tennessee has not played phenomenal and then I do again

999

01:08:26,000 –> 01:08:30,560

You can beat Purdue and then marquette is going to be the probably the biggest challenge out of that area

1000

01:08:31,040 –> 01:08:33,440

Which yeah, I don’t I don’t see Tennessee making it

1001

01:08:34,720 –> 01:08:39,760

I I could see Tennessee making like a sweet 16 just because they’ve got like I could see or robert’s upsetting duke

1002

01:08:39,840 –> 01:08:43,680

But I could see duke winning the championship like that’s I think those are the only two results

1003

01:08:43,680 –> 01:08:49,680

I don’t think I think if duke wins in first round they’re going to at least the elite eight probably the final four

1004

01:08:49,840 –> 01:08:51,840

maybe even the championship, but

1005

01:08:51,840 –> 01:08:53,840

Yeah, like

1006

01:08:54,080 –> 01:08:58,000

They see that first win. It’s almost the whole region almost just hinges on that one game

1007

01:08:58,240 –> 01:09:00,240

like if I

1008

01:09:00,240 –> 01:09:03,920

Don’t think they’ll win the first game and then lose the second round and then the or

1009

01:09:04,560 –> 01:09:10,720

When the first two rounds and lose the third. I think it’s I think it’s first round or elite eight for duke to be completely honest

1010

01:09:10,960 –> 01:09:14,560

I think there’s around seven or eight teams that like could actually win it this year

1011

01:09:15,200 –> 01:09:19,200

And just I don’t feel more confident in one than the other. I think I’m like, okay

1012

01:09:19,200 –> 01:09:23,840

I could see these eight winning it, but I just it’s not like I have one preference over the other

1013

01:09:23,840 –> 01:09:26,640

I could like every time I fill out a bracket or every time I think about it

1014

01:09:26,640 –> 01:09:29,200

I think of someone different and I cannot make up my mind

1015

01:09:29,200 –> 01:09:31,840

So I feel like this year’s just kind of scary if you’re actually trying to

1016

01:09:32,400 –> 01:09:35,280

Win a bracket pool or if you’re trying to bet money or you’re rooting for someone

1017

01:09:35,280 –> 01:09:39,280

It’s it’s so hard to predict. That’s why I’m not even like I’m making a bunch of brackets

1018

01:09:39,280 –> 01:09:43,760

I want to be great obviously, but I’m more interested in just watching a bunch of great basketball

1019

01:09:43,760 –> 01:09:50,640

Because like all season has just been weird upsets and teams going up and then falling apart. It’s been a great up and down season

1020

01:09:51,200 –> 01:09:54,640

And so I’m more excited to just watch some upsets watch some teams

1021

01:09:55,120 –> 01:10:00,400

Play close games or blowout games and not really care about my bracket as much this year because you’re right

1022

01:10:00,400 –> 01:10:05,760

There’s so many teams like I’m just going around Alabama. Obviously, very good chance

1023

01:10:06,240 –> 01:10:11,440

Virginia could for some reason just figure out how to be old virginia and play defense and shut everybody down

1024

01:10:11,440 –> 01:10:17,360

They could be a weird team Baylor, Arizona both of them have shown spurts and you got purdue duke

1025

01:10:17,840 –> 01:10:21,040

Again, Tennessee could make some weird run even without their point guard

1026

01:10:21,680 –> 01:10:28,640

Kentucky for some reason who knows could just go off and no one can figure out how to guard sheboy and jakem top in

1027

01:10:28,960 –> 01:10:30,960

Kansas state phenomenal team marquette

1028

01:10:31,760 –> 01:10:37,280

UCLA could maybe do something weird can zaga could have another great year. Yeah, you con

1029

01:10:37,280 –> 01:10:41,920

I mean, I kind of forgot I think that I think they do have a chance. I think they were

1030

01:10:42,480 –> 01:10:48,000

I’ll say nine that I think because I kind of didn’t like to include them in my mental list when I said that

1031

01:10:48,400 –> 01:10:50,400

But if you would to pick a team that’s

1032

01:10:50,960 –> 01:10:52,960

Seated seven or higher

1033

01:10:53,520 –> 01:10:57,920

Who do you not like higher as in like seven or like a better seat like seven or are up?

1034

01:10:58,240 –> 01:11:01,840

Who do you believe has the best chance to make a final four run?

1035

01:11:02,800 –> 01:11:03,840

Texas a and m

1036

01:11:03,840 –> 01:11:07,600

I think if they beat texas, who are they gonna lose to if you can beat texas

1037

01:11:07,600 –> 01:11:12,800

You’re not gonna lose the iu miami or houston or whatever other team could come out of the top part of that bracket

1038

01:11:14,000 –> 01:11:20,240

I’m thinking penn state. I’m going penn state too because penn state is whoever wins that game. Yeah, honestly penn states coming in

1039

01:11:20,640 –> 01:11:24,000

Really, uh, I think you just keep an eye on all the 12 seats. Honestly. Yeah

1040

01:11:24,560 –> 01:11:26,480

Just all the 12 seats are very good as you make a run

1041

01:11:27,200 –> 01:11:29,200

That’s who I watch but

1042

01:11:29,280 –> 01:11:32,320

If if the benchmark is seven then it’s obviously gonna be texas saying them

1043

01:11:32,320 –> 01:11:35,520

Yeah, I just I think they’ve been stopped but you know

1044

01:11:36,080 –> 01:11:41,280

I mean I can see north western doing something. They have two phenomenal guards boysy state

1045

01:11:41,280 –> 01:11:47,840

I don’t have any faith in them UCLA. I don’t have any faith in them same because they I mean tiger cambell is their best guard, right?

1046

01:11:47,920 –> 01:11:54,960

And yo bui is 10 times better than he is and then you get out of that you played probably can zaga that again you could beat them

1047

01:11:56,080 –> 01:11:59,040

I mean if north western beat purdue they can beat can zaga

1048

01:11:59,040 –> 01:12:02,480

And then the hardest part of getting out of that part of the brackets, Kansas

1049

01:12:02,560 –> 01:12:06,880

But again, Kansas has won off night and your guards go nuts for north western

1050

01:12:07,760 –> 01:12:09,760

They could make a crazy run

1051

01:12:10,560 –> 01:12:12,560

Yeah, I penn state this is

1052

01:12:13,760 –> 01:12:18,080

They’re so hot like they’re they’re coming in just blistering. They’ve been playing so well

1053

01:12:18,640 –> 01:12:24,560

Jaylin picket six four like 210 pounds. He plays big like he will post up anyone that is smaller than him

1054

01:12:24,560 –> 01:12:29,520

He will back them down. He’s got good moves and then you think like oh well, why is he a point guard playing in the post?

1055

01:12:29,520 –> 01:12:33,040

Like he can play outside too fantastic pastor. They shoot the three

1056

01:12:33,600 –> 01:12:37,040

So well like they shoot threes and free throws insanely well

1057

01:12:37,040 –> 01:12:42,480

So it’s like white dude just literally throws it and it just goes in that game against iu at the end where he literally just

1058

01:12:42,640 –> 01:12:48,080

Yanked one from the logo and drilled it. I mean he reminds me of like a ryan kline stafanovic shout out purdue

1059

01:12:48,400 –> 01:12:52,080

But he reminds me just one of those guys that like in the tournament. They just don’t think anymore

1060

01:12:52,080 –> 01:12:58,400

They just start throwing the ball at the basket. Yeah, and the only reason they lost to purdue is because we had a seven foot

1061

01:12:58,400 –> 01:13:02,000

Ford guy that just parked it in the paint the whole game. You’re not gonna have that

1062

01:13:02,640 –> 01:13:03,840

Against many of these other teams

1063

01:13:03,840 –> 01:13:08,160

So he’s actually gonna have success going into the paint and shooting those little turnarounds and post ups

1064

01:13:08,400 –> 01:13:11,680

The only reason picket didn’t get anything is because we just left eddy in there

1065

01:13:12,080 –> 01:13:14,160

And put because they had to play a big man

1066

01:13:14,320 –> 01:13:17,360

So then they didn’t have a shooter somewhere else and then picket could

1067

01:13:17,360 –> 01:13:23,680

Just ran into eddy whenever he tried to post someone up. Yeah Penn State shoots almost 39 percent from three as a team

1068

01:13:23,760 –> 01:13:25,760

That is good for

1069

01:13:25,760 –> 01:13:29,120

About third in the nation. How many do they take because that’s the thing they’re shooting 39

1070

01:13:29,200 –> 01:13:31,200

Which some people like well, they’re still under 40

1071

01:13:31,200 –> 01:13:36,400

But they’re probably taking like 10 more than every other team in college basketball on average

1072

01:13:36,480 –> 01:13:39,440

I will tell you that in a second if I could get this to load

1073

01:13:40,080 –> 01:13:43,280

I’m going to take back my penn state pick and go oral roberts

1074

01:13:43,280 –> 01:13:48,880

Because I think whoever wins that game between oral roberts and duke can easily make an elite eight run

1075

01:13:49,840 –> 01:13:53,520

Yeah, I would agree that max ace miss. Yeah averaging like 22 and a half a game

1076

01:13:53,920 –> 01:13:59,680

Yeah, he’s absolutely ridiculous and he could do to Purdue what that guy from north texas did the other year

1077

01:14:01,440 –> 01:14:07,040

Penn state averages 27 threes a game. There you go. That is good for 13th in the nation

1078

01:14:08,160 –> 01:14:11,680

Surprisingly, they’re actually a good amount of tournament teams like above them. You’ve got

1079

01:14:11,680 –> 01:14:13,680

I’ve got charleston

1080

01:14:13,680 –> 01:14:15,920

Well, that’s because yeah charleston’s just one of those. Yeah, rip it

1081

01:14:16,480 –> 01:14:18,080

alabama

1082

01:14:18,080 –> 01:14:19,920

oral roberts

1083

01:14:19,920 –> 01:14:21,120

And firman

1084

01:14:21,120 –> 01:14:27,280

Okay, so it’s all that other than alabama. It’s all those just yeah smaller. Yeah, the small schools that like that’s how that’s how they win

1085

01:14:27,280 –> 01:14:32,400

Those they’re either gonna that’s how they upset teams in the first round of the tournament because they just don’t miss a shot

1086

01:14:32,400 –> 01:14:36,800

It’s like the what was that team that be virginia the other year um, yeah the retrievers

1087

01:14:36,880 –> 01:14:41,200

Yeah, that’s what they do. You just shoot a crap load of threes and you’ll win if you hit them

1088

01:14:41,200 –> 01:14:43,200

And you’ll get destroyed if you don’t

1089

01:14:43,280 –> 01:14:47,440

Do you think we see another umbc type like do you think is there there’s a one seed at risk?

1090

01:14:47,440 –> 01:14:50,880

I don’t know anything about north kentucky, but again, I think houston’s weak

1091

01:14:51,600 –> 01:14:54,880

I think you see since probably the most vulnerable

1092

01:14:55,760 –> 01:15:00,160

I know you’re probably not worried as a one seed as per due but fdu is blowing out texas southern right now

1093

01:15:00,240 –> 01:15:04,160

Don’t know if you’re worried about fdu. Texas southern was terrible. They’re like 14 and 20

1094

01:15:04,160 –> 01:15:08,080

I don’t even know how they even won their conference. They just they got hot at the right time somehow

1095

01:15:08,080 –> 01:15:13,280

Yeah, Purdue has actually done. Purdue has had problems closing out games and stretching leads against

1096

01:15:13,920 –> 01:15:18,080

Some teams, but at the beginning of the season when we played the lower seeds and stuff. It was

1097

01:15:18,640 –> 01:15:24,560

It’s just unfair. I don’t know anything about fdu. I’m assuming they don’t have anybody over 6 11 that can handle edy

1098

01:15:24,640 –> 01:15:25,760

so

1099

01:15:25,760 –> 01:15:28,720

I’m not I’m not too worried about that first round matchup. I think we’ll be fine

1100

01:15:29,520 –> 01:15:34,000

Especially after coming off since Purdue for some reason does not know how to play turn a basketball

1101

01:15:34,000 –> 01:15:39,680

The fact that we won the big 10 tournament was a map like that’s more important to me than winning the big 10 by three games

1102

01:15:40,080 –> 01:15:41,520

Like winning that tournament

1103

01:15:41,520 –> 01:15:46,640

Especially with how close some of those games were against Rutgers and Penn State where we basically let them back into the game

1104

01:15:46,880 –> 01:15:48,560

But what you close it out

1105

01:15:48,560 –> 01:15:55,280

Those were some big wins that I think talked to Purdue more than they should have for what it’s worth the tallest guy on fdu is 6 7

1106

01:15:55,520 –> 01:15:57,360

Okay, so

1107

01:15:57,360 –> 01:16:00,160

Yeah, I don’t really see them putting up much of a fight

1108

01:16:00,720 –> 01:16:02,720

Yeah, unless they decide they just

1109

01:16:02,720 –> 01:16:04,720

They just

1110

01:16:04,800 –> 01:16:09,120

The baskets like 10 feet wide and they can make every single three they take

1111

01:16:10,000 –> 01:16:12,000

I don’t I don’t yeah

1112

01:16:12,000 –> 01:16:17,280

I don’t know anything about them if they can press the crap out of us for an entire game so that we just can’t get the ball past

1113

01:16:17,280 –> 01:16:20,080

Half court, maybe they’ll have a chance, but I’d yeah

1114

01:16:20,880 –> 01:16:22,880

No chance there

1115

01:16:22,880 –> 01:16:24,880

Yeah, they shoot about 46 percent

1116

01:16:25,520 –> 01:16:28,000

Field goal percentage 35 percent 3.1 percentage

1117

01:16:28,000 –> 01:16:32,800

Um 74 percent free throw percentage the average 34 rebounds per game

1118

01:16:36,400 –> 01:16:38,400

Looks like they

1119

01:16:39,600 –> 01:16:41,600

That’s basically it

1120

01:16:42,720 –> 01:16:47,200

Notable things you’d look at they answer your question. No, I’m not too worried about it

1121

01:16:47,440 –> 01:16:49,680

I’m really interested in this 11

1122

01:16:49,680 –> 01:16:57,440

And first four matchup. Where is that one Arizona state, Nevada? Yeah, I think whoever wins that is probably gonna be tcu

1123

01:16:58,240 –> 01:17:02,320

Really? I do tcu is missing a starter. Eddie lamb can just enter the transfer

1124

01:17:02,480 –> 01:17:07,680

Arizona state and they beat arizona on that full court shot or half court shot or whatever and nevada

1125

01:17:08,320 –> 01:17:10,320

Sometimes has really good tournaments

1126

01:17:10,720 –> 01:17:13,680

So I could see them either one of those teams beating tcu

1127

01:17:14,800 –> 01:17:16,800

possibly beating good zaga

1128

01:17:16,800 –> 01:17:21,520

I don’t I don’t think yeah, I’m not I don’t think it’s agus worry about losing that first round

1129

01:17:22,080 –> 01:17:24,320

Grand Canyon. It’s not anything too special

1130

01:17:27,280 –> 01:17:29,920

One team that I possibly could see

1131

01:17:30,880 –> 01:17:31,840

is

1132

01:17:31,840 –> 01:17:36,160

Um as like a I mean, I’ve only looked into a few two 15s like I haven’t really like I’ve

1133

01:17:36,640 –> 01:17:41,200

Kind of gone like in depth with one a little bit more and the other ones like you said like north kutuk

1134

01:17:41,200 –> 01:17:45,120

I don’t know a whole lot about either, but I I think that colgate

1135

01:17:45,120 –> 01:17:52,160

could possibly possibly beat texas like I’m not saying that there’s just like it’s like oh, I’m giving a 70 30

1136

01:17:52,160 –> 01:17:56,560

Like I’m talking a 90 to 10 like I I see a way that it happens

1137

01:17:57,120 –> 01:17:58,240

um

1138

01:17:58,240 –> 01:18:02,000

texas relies on forcing so many turnovers like they turn it over a lot

1139

01:18:02,320 –> 01:18:06,400

Colgate does not turn the ball over and they are about average at forcing them

1140

01:18:06,800 –> 01:18:10,880

So I mean if you could if texas is just like pestering you and then they’re just not phased

1141

01:18:10,880 –> 01:18:16,320

That’s obviously going to be a problem. Not what you’re used to and then colgate plays slower than texas. I think you slow it up

1142

01:18:16,880 –> 01:18:20,400

It’s just where you see upsets happen kind of where I talked about came to state montana state

1143

01:18:20,720 –> 01:18:25,280

You slow it up hit some shots. Don’t turn it over. I mean that’s like obviously ideal game plan

1144

01:18:25,680 –> 01:18:27,280

But I feel like that’s always what happens

1145

01:18:27,280 –> 01:18:32,800

It’s just like the small seeds just are very fundamental and then just get ahead and then the higher c team just panics

1146

01:18:32,800 –> 01:18:41,600

And colgate is also the best three point shooting team in the nation. They are that but they lost the harbor and by 27

1147

01:18:41,600 –> 01:18:43,600

They beat syracuse by 12

1148

01:18:43,600 –> 01:18:47,440

But I don’t think that matters. Syracuse plays a zone and they shoot three so I don’t think that’s

1149

01:18:47,760 –> 01:18:50,800

Yeah, yeah, syracuse just like yeah, go ahead shoot it on us. So I mean I

1150

01:18:51,360 –> 01:18:54,240

That’s probably what colgate loved as a as a shooter myself

1151

01:18:54,240 –> 01:18:58,720

Yeah, just the zones are the best thing in the world because you just stand there get your feet set and launch

1152

01:18:59,040 –> 01:19:00,000

yeah

1153

01:19:00,000 –> 01:19:05,280

That’s like I feel like charleston san Diego state charleston’s similar team to colgate

1154

01:19:05,840 –> 01:19:07,840

Whereas some of those teams they just

1155

01:19:08,640 –> 01:19:13,120

Yank everything they see and if they hit them, it’s just unbelievable. Yeah, I

1156

01:19:13,920 –> 01:19:18,640

San Diego state. I mean I have looked into them just not like a ton like extensively

1157

01:19:19,040 –> 01:19:20,800

but knowing

1158

01:19:20,800 –> 01:19:24,080

12 and 12 and five sees I think our 12s are like outright just

1159

01:19:24,080 –> 01:19:31,440

Oh, I think 500 or better against five seeds last like five years and you know, obviously every year people talks about

1160

01:19:31,600 –> 01:19:36,480

Oh, what’s the 12 five upset gonna be this year? I think that genuinely charleston has what it takes like to do that

1161

01:19:36,480 –> 01:19:40,880

I just I wouldn’t be surprised if all four 12 seeds. I wouldn’t either win

1162

01:19:41,200 –> 01:19:43,200

That would not be insane if that happened

1163

01:19:43,840 –> 01:19:49,120

I’d honestly be more shocked if all five seeds won than all 12 seeds. I would also group that. Oh, yeah for sure

1164

01:19:49,120 –> 01:19:55,680

I think like any any iteration of it’s like you see all four fives all four 12s

1165

01:19:55,920 –> 01:19:59,920

One and three three and one like whatever. I think whatever you see. I’m not gonna be surprised

1166

01:20:00,560 –> 01:20:02,400

But it’s just one of those like it’s just so

1167

01:20:03,120 –> 01:20:07,440

I don’t know it’s 12 and five or something completely different like you have no other matchup. That’s like it

1168

01:20:07,680 –> 01:20:08,960

yeah

1169

01:20:08,960 –> 01:20:10,960

like even you look at six and 11 or

1170

01:20:11,600 –> 01:20:14,800

Um four and 13 like it’s just it’s just not the same

1171

01:20:14,800 –> 01:20:21,600

Like it’s I don’t get what it is about five and 12. I think it’s always the really really good small schools

1172

01:20:22,240 –> 01:20:25,440

Always get a 12 seed. So it’s like they’re probably deserving of a higher seed

1173

01:20:25,440 –> 01:20:28,240

But because they haven’t played a whole lot that can be like oh just take a 12

1174

01:20:28,880 –> 01:20:31,600

So I think that might be what it is because like

1175

01:20:32,000 –> 01:20:35,600

11 seeds are about where it ends for like at-large bids

1176

01:20:35,680 –> 01:20:40,640

So you normally see those really good conference winners take that 12. I think that’s probably what it is

1177

01:20:40,640 –> 01:20:46,480
