3:31
couple of said on Thursday night: Were
3:33
you looking forward of North Carolina? Arizona

wasn't looking forward to love against his
3:38
former team because it's so I got
3:40
fair with move. awful terrible news of

3:57
Score: Alabama Eighty Nine North Carolina eighty.
4:00
Eleven that was game to. It sounds
4:02
like a college football playoff games Clinton
4:04
and Obama in law phase was on
4:06
a Saturday, but it's not. It's an
4:08
Elite A game in the two Thousand
4:10
and Twenty Four in Cw tournaments and
4:12
the winning school and winning coach will
4:14
be in the final four for the
4:16
first time the following weekend. Strong jaw
4:18
before we discuss each game Individual: Just
4:20
your thoughts on Alabama, Clemson meeting in
4:22
the Elite Eight as a for seat
4:24
in a sexy. Yeah, wilde
4:27
of. It's an exciting night of
4:29
of Sweet Sixteen acts in Alabama.
4:31
put on a show put on
4:33
a clinic on off it's a
4:35
great! Nelson was awesome. Clinton. They.
4:38
Did the day thing and this did not
4:40
feel at all like a fluke. The outcome:
4:42
You know you are Diggers own. I would
4:44
still pick to be Clinton and I and
4:47
I think probably a dog since eyes that
4:49
would happen. but. In. Our this
4:51
night Clinton's is kind of picked them
4:53
up and on the floor and Clinton's
4:55
as the way they played on defense
4:57
arizona. Unfortunately, The
5:00
way they shot on off it's ah,
5:02
now we have Clinton, Alabama, Ilili that
5:04
the Elite Eight sub. Pretty excited about
5:06
that. Let's just focus
5:08
on on the games in order that
5:10
we were. they were played. So let's
5:13
start with the Clemson Arizona game. Were
5:15
you surprised that Clemson, for lack of
5:17
a better phrase, points first? They kind
5:19
of came out to control and then.
5:22
Pretty. Much control the game from start
5:24
to finish. I don't want to say
5:26
it was never in doubt because it
5:28
obviously was, but this wasn't a situation
5:30
where the lower seeded team you knows
5:32
the hung around and then made some
5:34
shots and then got lucky. They, they
5:36
won the game for forty minutes basically. I
5:40
was surprised. Yeah, I mean. This.
5:42
Arizona team has. Has
5:45
the volatility to it. You know the
5:47
way they play off and state they
5:49
play a high enough to pull style
5:52
of this. Tonight in particular they saw
5:54
a ton of. Or three
5:56
point shots and enough fantasy. Five of
5:58
twenty eight from three and that was
6:00
to me the story. Clemson gonna ran
6:03
out. A zone decent in Arizona. Just
6:05
shocking. Shots settling, settling, settling. they just
6:07
had no answers. For
6:09
that. A bribe Brunel after
6:12
the game said he felt incredibly
6:14
fortunate, which us was about right
6:16
of it. Even more or less
6:18
was alluding to the fact that
6:20
Arizona. Had a
6:22
really, really tough night shooting the
6:24
basketball again. finished five of twenty
6:26
eight. From. Three point Range. They.
6:29
Play this game again Arizona. probably.
6:32
And I'm if they win this game, but
6:34
they certainly make more than five three point
6:36
shots just because this offense is so so
6:38
potent. But. On this
6:40
given night, Clemson played better. They punched first,
6:42
they held him off late. Arizona just did
6:44
not have the op. It's to kind of
6:46
keep up in that game. I'm.
6:49
Thousand Studio. obviously Tonight that's why
6:51
I'm in a tie. It's also
6:53
why we're starting weight, apologize and
6:56
at one point burn Stover. Who.
6:58
Was hosting tonight. Asks.
7:00
Me: In a wood.
7:03
So if you're in Arizona fan, I
7:05
can make sense of. Of
7:07
the Us and how to give you the season. And
7:10
that's always a difficult thing
7:12
to try to do, particularly
7:14
after his idioms so abruptly.
7:16
But it's difficult to do
7:18
because. This. Is a
7:21
sport where we play basically for five
7:23
months. And enlist. The end
7:25
is good. The first four months don't matter, and
7:27
if the end is good, it's almost like the
7:29
first four months don't matter. Like. It's
7:31
it's. it's. North Carolina
7:33
played in a National Championship game a few
7:35
years ago. You might remember the I'm North
7:37
Carolina did not have a good season. But.
7:40
They had a great tournament at
7:42
and then every year there's teams
7:45
that have. Great. Seasons but
7:47
don't have great tournaments for do. Last
7:49
season's a great example of that. And
7:51
then I think Arizona right now is
7:54
is that as well. Some
7:58
of it was when your best players. Would love.
8:00
You know your leave yourself a little
8:02
susceptible to this He I've of a
8:04
team from the field old, nine from
8:06
three. Don't put this all on him
8:08
because it's not all on him. but.
8:11
When capable of is your best player. He's
8:14
going to have some great nights and he's I
8:16
have some rough nights. That's the story of Caleb
8:18
Love and when he has the ruff night. Hearing.
8:21
Or stop. You. Know the it
8:23
is never a moment where he's going to
8:26
go. Amiss the first eight. My
8:29
not picked if one. You know he can keep.
8:31
Doing. What he does. and if it's not going
8:34
well and you're playing against the carpet in opponent
8:36
and as other things also not going Weldon, This
8:38
is the type of thing could happen. I don't
8:40
want to pretend that I predicted this because I
8:42
didn't. But. Earlier
8:45
today. When. Norlander and
8:47
I did the Outhouse Gospel podcast on Cbs
8:49
Sports Networks. I did say if you look
8:51
at Arizona. The. Before
8:53
this game had most eight times all season.
8:56
Now. I'd obviously and that will be the
8:58
final number forever. But heading into The Skin they've
9:00
lost a times. And. Seven of
9:02
the a loss is what a sub Thirty can bomb teams.
9:05
And Clemson was I think before tipoff
9:07
top choice I become pump certainly top
9:10
thirty. So my point was Arizona should
9:12
win this game. Arizona is the better
9:14
team. But. But.
9:18
They. Cost a lot of games to a lot
9:20
of teams just like claims that are even
9:23
worse. So like you know, be careful and
9:25
then. And then what happened happened
9:27
and so now the question becomes like
9:29
how you view Arizona season. It.
9:31
Was a great season. What about ending?
9:33
Same thing I said above Virginia a
9:35
few years ago about Purdue last season.
9:37
it was a great season. With.
9:40
A bad ending and I now know
9:42
that that's. Three. Years
9:44
for Tommy. The way to Arizona to conference championships
9:46
to conference tournament championships, incredible seeds and every tournament
9:48
and he loses to a lower see to team
9:51
every.has it made it to the elite eight yet?
9:53
I got it but I don't have. You Saw
9:55
his post game interview with our the Forced. I
9:57
loved it. I. Hope they pull it.
10:00
And use it going forward the same way
10:02
we constantly pull that day in her early
10:04
press conference moment. Or. He says you better get
10:06
us now because it's a. Jokes away.
10:08
As Tommy I don't remember the question exactly
10:10
and I don't want to put words in
10:12
her mouth, but. At the
10:15
end of it, Tommy said. Listen.
10:17
You. Know we didn't shoot the ball well and.
10:20
And. You know, When. You do that.
10:22
Sometimes this is a type of stuff that have
10:24
can happen but this is the part that I
10:26
zeroed in on. He said we will be. Back.
10:29
In this position. Many many
10:31
times. And. I.
10:34
Believe. That family and he
10:36
seemed to be suggesting. In
10:38
a humble but confident way as.
10:42
I'm not rattled by this. I
10:44
know other people are. I've even seen it
10:46
in the chat tonight since we started talking.
10:49
Tommy. Lloyd go for the regular season. Not
10:51
built for the answer but I don't buy
10:53
any other that I think it's all nonsense.
10:55
I think that nature of this events is
10:57
gonna. Always. Lend itself to.
11:00
Out over Kentucky, right? That kind of
11:02
stuff is forever happened In it, will forever
11:04
happen in. Sometimes those kind of things
11:06
happened to the same programs. Over.
11:09
And over again in a way.
11:11
Where. It. Starts to feel like.
11:14
Or maybe this guy really can't do these
11:16
things I will never forget until the story.
11:19
Forty. Five thousand times. But I will never
11:21
forget talking to Billy Donovan. After
11:24
he won his first national championship and
11:26
one of the things he said and
11:28
I guess I could have just look
11:30
this up I didn't remember it clearly
11:32
remembered. He. Said he realized before when
11:34
the national title I was eliminated from the first or
11:36
second round of the Answer to play tournament fi straight
11:38
years. Not get out into a
11:40
tournament. First. Or to caress. I could
11:43
make the second weekend five straight years he said google
11:45
my name. I'm paraphrasing here but he was like google
11:47
me it like it was out there. can Billie.of a
11:49
when the big one. Know. Billy
11:51
Donovan? Can't it out of the first weekend of the incident
11:53
with her. That's all they said. And.
11:57
Then they did and and they won the whole thing And
11:59
in they want. Whole thing again and now
12:01
he's gonna be a first ballot Hall
12:03
of Famers someday. Rights. To.
12:06
Point Billie made to me was. If
12:09
you keep building teams that are
12:11
theoretically good enough to. Advance
12:13
to go deep to go to the
12:16
final four to win a national. Just
12:18
if you keep building enough of those.
12:21
Eventually it'll happen for you. You're.
12:23
Gonna need some walk along the way you're going to
12:25
need some the bouncer way. Is sometimes it's
12:27
saga balance your way and that will be the years we
12:30
lose in the round a thirty two. But if you keep
12:32
building. Top Chef teams of
12:34
visually it will happen. And.
12:36
It did for billie. I. Believe it
12:38
will for Tommy. And.
12:42
There's. A long list of guys who couldn't do it
12:44
until they did. For. I remember going
12:46
already on Kansas City over and over again.
12:49
And I would ask me pre two thousand and eight
12:51
do you think bills of can really when the bigger
12:53
I. Like you know
12:55
with this guy going to break through, Can you do it? Skyler,
12:59
Or. It's every item was a every geico that
13:01
but truth but there is a long list
13:03
of guys. Bill. Self J.
13:05
Right, John Calipari. Hey.
13:09
Are we sure this guy can do it? Rains.
13:11
On a Yet. When. They say what they are
13:13
doing. And. It's what they were all doing.
13:16
Billie before his title, John before his title.
13:18
Bill Self before title Calming Lloyd Right now
13:20
you know what? They were all due on
13:22
building seems. annually. Rather
13:25
consistently. That. Are theoretically
13:27
good enough. To. Go to final
13:29
fours when national championships and eventually because those
13:31
men kept doing it over and over again.
13:34
He. Broke through. it happened for every one of
13:36
of and I'd I'd just keep this it'll happen
13:39
for time and would some decks to if Tommy
13:41
Lloyd coaches at Arizona for fifteen years. I.
13:44
Do believe that he won a national championship. He's
13:46
built three teams already. He. The Hiccups:
13:48
Three years. You've got three teams already that are good enough to do.
13:51
It. Is just had nap
13:53
and it will serve. You want to get your little
13:55
jokes and now. but Tommy Boy take do they have
13:57
kids. Get him. And now because eventually he'd gone boss
13:59
right? Do that. I promise you. I
14:01
don't know. Dinner early? Still. Coaching. At
14:03
you can't so. It's
14:05
kind of he's never going to end for that view that as.
14:09
Well that that can be. The other problem is that
14:11
if you can never lose of again and then nobody
14:13
ever gets to win anything ever again other than Day
14:15
and Hurley Edu God but you know on the flip
14:17
side of this. I'm. Result.
14:21
Is. You know, what
14:23
a bribe for now who's lived on the hot
14:25
seat seat for. It feels like forever
14:28
and so there's a guy who people
14:30
have been wondering like to even keep
14:32
his job. Like. Every year I do
14:34
a hot see lives and every year I'm like
14:36
a bribe renounce good see again, get bullied your
14:38
back here, but it's and. This
14:41
Oh cool. It at least temporarily. It's a
14:43
just. Take. That set it aside. It
14:46
just can be happier. For a guy
14:48
like I can a man, it's that
14:50
easy living with. Job.
14:52
Speculation. All. But times
14:54
have you ever I don't get to parcel
14:56
someone even as that's but like if you're
14:58
ever in the last year of a contract
15:00
you know you like I you know where
15:02
this you know if you ever hits people
15:05
were it's this guy has been linked more
15:07
or less in that place for a year
15:09
after year after year like a I'm here
15:11
right now and I really like it. I.
15:13
Don't have that. Will be back next year. Yeah. Let
15:15
me go code from a job at the
15:17
Hard Way To coach. It's a hard with
15:20
us to to live and he has found
15:22
a way to be comfortable in that
15:24
space and now it's just it's just happening
15:26
for him. You. Know is is it
15:28
was or any point in the season where Clemson
15:31
look like. One of the
15:33
last eight teams that be plan. Know.
15:35
Of course not, of course, but but but that's
15:37
where the rat and what I love most about
15:39
this Final Four in Los Angeles. You know you
15:41
to sort of find. I mean this Elite Eight
15:44
match up in Los Angeles. you eat, you'll you'll
15:46
look for something in a very better. and you
15:48
did You try to find somebody? asks. What
15:50
I want to what I wanted was killed
15:52
Love against North Carolina. I thought that would
15:54
be awesome but but what will I now
15:56
watch? I watch clips in Alabama and it'll
15:58
be equally awesome. Because.
16:01
Either a Clemson program that most
16:04
people have never really taken seriously
16:06
or in Alabama program that has
16:08
been really good. Keep. In mind
16:10
they were the number one overall see me
16:13
as way tournament like below recently than this
16:15
team to look nothing like ever being capable
16:17
of that schools are Old coach a month
16:19
ago said we don't guard anybody because you
16:21
know. And now here they are
16:23
One of those programs is going to be
16:25
Final Four. And that's awesome. Say.
16:28
That suggests a great story for
16:31
glimpse and obviously Bread Brunel Closing
16:33
Seconds: Elite Eight Appearances Program History:
16:35
The their first since Nineteen eighty
16:37
Gb where you live in Nineteen
16:39
Eighty. Just barely. But yes of
16:41
get. To. Second, yeah. Regardless, through our
16:43
story, I was ever going to be three
16:46
years old. and nineteen Eighty of that. So
16:48
yeah, so we got. we got a few
16:50
of those now. like Purdue had been a
16:52
final four since Nineteen Eighty Ninety Nine. He's
16:54
a big year and this a sweet sixteen
16:56
Elite Eight, so it's just a fab is
16:59
not what we expected to to to see
17:01
ah you know happen in that Arizona Clemson
17:03
game. But. You know, for
17:05
Clemson you'd you can be happy for I'm in
17:07
L on the other side, Alabama. The spend a
17:10
few minutes on this When they beat North Carolina
17:12
eighty nine and Seven. The Tar Heels were actually
17:14
up double digits in this point in this game
17:16
at one point and then. Alabama, Just
17:18
you know, stay true to what they do.
17:21
And we talked about this pregame.
17:24
On. March Madness Three
17:26
Sixty Sega Sports Network early two nights and
17:28
one of the point said. main. Ones
17:31
that. If. On a
17:33
one seed. Alabama, it.
17:36
Isn't like the best? You
17:39
know, Four Five see that we could have be
17:41
radically played in the Sweet sixteen, and maybe they
17:43
are, but you'll get the point to make it's
17:45
but I didn't think they were the most dangerous
17:47
in the sense that you know exactly what they're
17:49
going to do and if they do it well,
17:51
there's not much you can do about it, like
17:54
they're gonna like the actual thing that I said.
17:56
On. Television was they're gonna try to take thirty
17:58
three and if they. Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, fourteen
18:01
of on. You're gonna have problems and
18:03
it really doesn't matter how well you're
18:05
playing. And then the game started And
18:07
what are they do? They.
18:09
Didn't quite get it dirty, but they got close to it
18:11
and they shot above forty two percent from three. So
18:14
when they're doing that, It
18:16
home and what is it? doesn't matter. How
18:19
well you're playing. But. Sometimes.
18:23
You get a match up like this. A
18:25
sweet sixteen match up including a one seats
18:27
and one see. Can say. I
18:29
think honestly. If we play well,
18:31
we'll be fine. If we play
18:33
will we be sucks but when you're playing
18:35
Alabama there's always a qualifier will be it.
18:37
If we play well we'll be fine. As
18:40
long as they don't get wild from three
18:43
to then, we might not be It's the
18:45
proper carol and this one of course was
18:47
that or even when Alabama got while from
18:49
three Carolina you know they they were playing
18:52
well. And. A lot of that was
18:54
Rg Davis and did you see this? Rj
18:56
Davis entailed love tonight in the same
18:58
building. Combined to
19:00
go oh of a team from three. Failed
19:03
Love when I'm from three Rg
19:06
Davis old nine three these former
19:08
teammates backcourt mates on a big
19:10
stage in advance of. Of.
19:13
A match that was supposed to.
19:16
Involve them, they both throw
19:18
up Stinkers. A
19:20
crypto.com arena and become I saw
19:22
this: I'm Jared Burson. He
19:24
invented he has been stats and info he did.
19:28
He. Said that Rg Davis and Tailed Lover the
19:30
first two players in in suitably tournament history.
19:33
For ever. Both.
19:35
Go at least oh of nine from three
19:37
point range on the same day and instantly
19:40
tournament. So it's not. It's not just in
19:42
the same building or on or or. Or
19:45
former teammates that did this like no two
19:47
players in the history than simply tournament have
19:49
ever played on the same day. And
19:52
both when at least old nine from three. So.
19:54
Are today the title killed love.
19:56
They've had some incredible moments together
19:59
apart. this. Then, but they'll want to
20:01
forget this night for as long as I live.
20:04
There are today was sixteen points see
20:06
good but for of twenty shooting that's
20:08
not great. Amount of baker
20:10
was pretty good this game and
20:12
ninety points. Mr. Done the second
20:15
half. That felt like it was
20:17
pretty crucial per Brian eyes. Sat
20:19
here on Rg Davis. This was
20:21
the first game all season Rj
20:23
Davis. Did. Not make
20:25
a single three pointer. Carolina.
20:28
Ends up losing this game by two
20:30
points. Just a brutal beat Alabama played
20:32
out of their mind. great. Nelson was
20:34
fantastic. Twenty four boys. He had a
20:36
huge second half. Nineteen. Points
20:38
in the half finished with by blocks. including.
20:41
The clincher cast swatting airs and in
20:43
grooms prayer at the in there. So
20:46
the great when for Alabama or we
20:48
always thought that this was possible for
20:50
Alabama just because they're office is so
20:53
lethal. Of. And they get hot
20:55
tonight and they are advancing. That's a really
20:57
impressive when by the notes in this Crimson
20:59

24:11
O s que the same question I was as tonight on
24:13
tv because it is starting to get a thing that I
24:15
think he i think most people are are saying yes. But.
24:19
It always felt like such an absurd question to
24:21
ask, and yet it's just not an absurd question
24:23
anymore. So the question simple is it's you contain
24:25
better than last season's You can't in what do
24:27
you think. Yes, Yes,
24:30
This is. This. Team is better
24:32
than last year's national championship. Team.
24:35
I. Think there's a case to be
24:37
made. This is the best Yukon
24:39
team in program history and this
24:41
is a very proud program. They've
24:43
got multiple national championships. of last
24:45
year's Yukon team was I mean
24:47
just. The crust
24:49
everybody are they were. They were dominant,
24:51
had a a little bit of a
24:54
low and the regular season the dominant.
24:56
During the Subway tournaments I ended up
24:58
winning thirty one games. This team. Defensively,
25:01
When they lock in. They. Are
25:04
completely unstoppable offensively. I mean they have
25:06
so many different guys they they could
25:08
throw at you trust and Newton was
25:10
great tonight. Stuff on Castle I'll just
25:12
have a five star freshmen his is
25:15
given up and you'll have at a
25:17
big game A team Spencer who's like
25:19
the Harley's clone has a big games
25:21
and I and honestly and really didn't
25:23
have is a plus stuff and they
25:26
didn't really did it end up winning
25:28
by thirty points of insists. The weapons
25:30
that the Yukon team has is hilarious
25:32
and unfair and. I think there is
25:34
a very strong case that this Yukon
25:37
team. Better. Last year's you can
25:39
do better than any Yukon teams. In. Program
25:41
History. And I
25:43
mean. All. The data suggests
25:45
that from here your eyeballs can tell
25:47
you whatever you want, your eyeballs capella
25:49
but all the data supports that's and
25:51
like bring stove, put that question to
25:54
me. It is sort of
25:56
playing off of we were carrying the city was
25:58
a press conference lies so we were coming. Right
26:00
off of a Brian.your press conference and
26:02
somebody has Brian. Is. You
26:04
com better this season then they were last season
26:06
cause obviously sending us he played you done and
26:09
got beat by Yukon in the national title game
26:11
of last season's insulate tournaments and brought was good
26:13
he's or smile he said well they're either better.
26:16
Or worse because he felt static. Probably
26:18
both things are true. I think you
26:20
can probably better than Ago states, probably
26:23
a little worse. and that's how you
26:25
get a you know a blog, the
26:27
a thirty point victory in the in
26:29
the Sweet sixteen and. You.
26:32
Know when when stover ask me that? I
26:35
that the way I explained it was if you to acid
26:37
in November ah to roll my eyes at you. And
26:40
in December probably same thing. Although.
26:42
At a been like you know are
26:44
considered it January I still think my
26:46
answer's no. February.
26:49
Maybe I'm still like, let's slow
26:51
down, you know? I'm still,
26:54
I'm still on for do. But. I
26:57
mean, I've reached a point where I think
26:59
the right answer is yes, they're better, they
27:01
just are. And like there's some very basic
27:03
ways to to highlight this. You know they
27:05
didn't win the Big East last season. They.
27:08
Want to be. He's a season by four games. Isn't.
27:11
They didn't win the Big East tournament
27:13
last season. They won the Big East Tournament
27:15
this season. no problem. I'm. The. Got
27:17
a better record at this point the
27:19
season than they had at this point
27:21
last season. The computer numbers are better
27:24
across the board. They. Just are. So
27:27
it sounds absurd. To
27:30
wonder. If a team
27:32
that won a national to get, think about what
27:34
we're thinking about here. A
27:36
team that won the national championships by
27:39
blowing out everybody in the unsuitable A
27:41
tournaments. And had. To.
27:44
M B A Draft picks including one
27:46
lottery pick and that doesn't even cool
27:48
include the guy who was the most
27:50
outstanding player of the final four. They.
27:53
Lost all three of those guys. Existing.
27:55
Better itself like an absurd think. They even like
27:57
what. Of course that. Except
28:00
somehow some way. Came. Spencer's
28:02
part of it the development of Trista
28:04
Newton, Newton's part of it's as different
28:06
hospitals part of it. As
28:08
somehow some way it it appears
28:10
that day and Ursula hit after
28:13
winning a national championship in absurd
28:15
version. Has. Built and developed.
28:18
A team that's even better than
28:20
that team. It doesn't guarantee anything,
28:22
but I am well aware of
28:24
why Yukon is. Is. Becoming
28:26
a a pretty sizeable favorite to
28:28
win this thing. It's because. Consistently
28:31
now for a while. I'm.
28:34
Daves. They. Just blown
28:36
out everybody and. They
28:39
never loss of a new record our year. Never
28:41
lost at home or year. They.
28:44
That. The paper for reason. I get it. I'm still
28:46
going to pick for do this because I mean I
28:48
go sick and screaming. but I yeah. I
28:50
understand if you're not understand if you're picking
28:52
you can instead they look the part. To
28:56
a boil, Your boiler makers. Don't. Have
28:58
to have sixty percent Boilermaker. I
29:00
was forty percent aggies. but now
29:02
I. I gotta think about that. You know
29:04
we've had some changes up there. And Logan, you know. That.
29:07
Strip. The other stuff. That.
29:09
Stuff of could be interesting massive for do
29:11
you got that happens. The. Ride with Iran
29:13
with Purdue all the way. For.
29:15
Me I have to. Look the I'm in the
29:17
only way we could get the Purdue you can and will
29:19
be in the title game. Score! And if I if I'm
29:22
that if I'm the idiot who's been screaming for do all
29:24
your life that the a terrible time to back off of
29:26
the right. I. Didn't point
29:28
out about going to back off of it. Tonight
29:30
will be the night before It's you could say
29:32
that your state supporters. One. That no doubt
29:34
that what they here's the like a revised like look at
29:37
what you can just sending us day and I am too
29:39
I just did for five minutes. Utah
29:42
State. Now that's true. Yeah right. So like
29:44
you know you don't say was your belt
29:46
west it. Yet. So like. We.
29:49
Get caught up in a moment and
29:51
I know like you can't have been
29:53
doing this to good teams more regularly
29:55
than anybody else or like we just
29:57
watch Produce beat the actual champion from
29:59
that same. Lead. You. Know
30:01
by a billion so. If we're
30:03
headed that way, that's where I want to get. You
30:05
know, and I mean I'll take a championship game.
30:08
Outcomes: But. Produce you com would obviously be
30:10
on. Yeah. I
30:12
think Google has been added incentive
30:14
in it's own tier for the
30:16
last couple weeks, but Purdue. Less.
30:19
We not forget has been a clear top
30:21
two team in college. Best for this is
30:23
maybe top three. You wanna throw his son
30:26
and nephew gone Houston and Purdue the way
30:28
produce play right now. Killed
30:30
the Aggies. They're playing on a
30:32
different level right now. He is
30:34
dominating regards to play with a
30:36
lot of confidence. Yeah, I feel
30:38
like we're on a collision. A
30:40
collision course for you can't purdue?
30:44
Receive. That that's the air at that? My
30:46
history with the and stuff like that isn't
30:48
that the do that guarantees. Something bad
30:50
gonna happen tomorrow any time I say
30:52
like ways that there's a cliff adding
30:54
not a retreated it at some point
30:56
where nor lander was i i think
30:59
given me. Stuff. For.
31:01
Or. For. Being so heavy on like
31:04
one seeds and to seeds and the get you
31:06
know he's always is. It's how could you picked
31:08
three, number one seed and a two seat or
31:10
whatever to get to this final four? You know
31:12
it never goes that way It on. my God.
31:14
Oh now I just like picking the better teams.
31:16
I don't know, I just watch. for four months
31:18
ago I'd and pretty sure the seems better than
31:20
this team and then I'll I'll pick it and
31:22
then you know and then it doesn't And then
31:24
and then Jekyll happens when he omitted a a
31:26
rights so he's given me. He's given me like
31:28
the business and then at some point or even
31:30
really remember the context. But as simple as it's
31:32
what. Do you mean consent? A specific
31:34
specific felt like. A
31:38
like M M. Now here we are.
31:41
That's that's the nature of the start
31:43
of it. Were Norlander is right. Is
31:45
that something like this always happens? What
31:48
is difficult is trying to identify where
31:50
read this. Something like this is going
31:53
to happen. Because it is almost
31:55
never make sense, You almost never saw it
31:57
common. I'm Eclipse. It was two
31:59
games. Five hundred and the Ac seats. And
32:01
I know the A Cz was tougher than
32:04
everybody thinks. I know. I got it. I
32:06
got it. I know. I
32:09
know be a cc was tougher than anybody
32:11
thinks. Although this is what's
32:13
the new Macys, the alrighty of get eliminated.
32:16
The. Lady know, by not by a not as
32:18
easy job Yes, But what? Whatever, we want to
32:20
talk about that right now? I'm just sayin' Film.
32:24
Clips. It was just a whatever team in
32:26
the in, in the A, C C, and
32:28
in the. And Albert Yang in
32:30
the Elite Eight. And you're all of
32:33
the stuff as. You. It's
32:35
you can you can safely assume going
32:37
into any tournament. That. Something
32:39
like this. Is going to
32:42
happen. But you
32:44
don't know where it's coming, I promise you. even Bread
32:46
Brunel didn't know where this was coming from. Notice.
32:50
The you begin his own bracket. a bit clumsy. the
32:52
others were. For. Me that hope he
32:54
did. But but as I will say like there
32:57
are there are there are times when we're doing
32:59
the candy coaches thing where collects who's be the
33:01
best in the country and most coaches don't vote
33:03
for themselves because would you know where as texting
33:05
and been major coach or whatever but like there
33:07
are coaches sometimes who liked absolutely safe out we
33:10
will we will be the best him in the
33:12
country I have multiple coaches this year who pick
33:14
themselves to be a dusty with the country and
33:16
of one of the ones that I might you
33:18
know turn it into something but are you know.
33:21
I hope Reber now picked his clemson to
33:23
go to be Elite Eight, but I'm not
33:25
certain he was a he was counting on
33:27
it. Either way, I'm happy forms. Ah, let's
33:29
go back to the. East.
33:32
Because. After
33:34
we got. Yukon.
33:37
Running through San Diego State and advancing
33:39
to the Elite A for the second
33:42
straight year, I. Think probably the
33:44
best game of than I would you call
33:46
it was game tonight. Final Score: Illinois seventy
33:48
two Iowa State Sixty nine I'll be honest,
33:50
I'm on Tv the entire time this game
33:52
is going. Were. Watching it. But
33:54
we're also talking on live Tv and there's
33:56
only so much you can do. So I
33:59
know Terrence Shannon. That terrific again. ten
34:01
of nineteen for the field. Twenty nine
34:03
points. I get the sense that. It.
34:06
Was a phone back and forth of say or
34:08
were maybe one team didn't lose it as much
34:10
as one team without one. It may be the
34:12
team with the best player. Maybe that's what it
34:14
comes down to is just one team at tear
34:16
sandy of team didn't and and in your he
34:18
wound got twenty nine and so now you're in
34:20
the elite eight the other team season's over. You
34:23
tell me what did you make of Illinois three
34:25
point win over I was state. He. I
34:27
would rank it's second best game on
34:29
the night at eight. Alabama, Carolina was
34:31
was clearly in it's own sea. Urban
34:33
Illinois, Iowa State was very very good.
34:36
I was state I sleep for a
34:38
old by thirteen. Of it
34:40
looked at one point like Illinois gonna end
34:42
up running away from this or but san
34:44
and got into fafsa want to suck ass
34:47
here after. It's a huge first half. Of
34:49
that forty points in the first half ends up
34:51
with twenty nine point. Still a solid game. Makes
34:54
a big plays late but there was a stretch
34:56
their where he sat on the bench and foul
34:58
trouble in our state made a little bit of
35:00
Iran. I'll sit
35:02
for this thirty or forty seven
35:04
on layups percent broadcast on. Just
35:08
absolutely brutal. Are just a ton of
35:10
buddies that it felt like Mattis psychoses
35:12
had even hit maybe half the ones
35:14
that they missed. Ah, we're talking about
35:17
a totally different game, but. But.
35:19
We're not, Illinois is going on and they're
35:21
going to be playing Yukon and the Elite
35:23
Eight. Their seen a display of his minor
35:25
in out to my points in this one
35:27
obviously at thirty points against Duquesne and forty
35:30
six voice against more. Had a as you
35:32
kind of medicines are just a minute ago.
35:34
It's kind of came down to. Illinois.
35:37
Had the best player on the floor and I was it
35:39
did not. There's little
35:41
bit more to it than that,
35:43
but Santa was was was just
35:45
firing on all cylinders as he
35:47
has been threats to tire postseason
35:50
really said he has the type
35:52
of guard and obviously these. You.
35:55
Know his season has been overshadowed
35:58
by a legal issue here. The
36:00
was. Removed. From
36:02
competition briefly. Some.
36:06
He. Has. Not
36:08
gotten the attention. In
36:10
a positive way, this season dead
36:12
and Rj Davis got it. North Carolina
36:14
that a Jamal shared his gun at
36:16
Houston. That interest in Newton is Janet,
36:19
You kind of that. A Mark
36:21
Sears his gun at Alabama. Frankly, But
36:24
he's that same level guard. Seventies.
36:26
That same level guy. Who. Can
36:28
go out and take over games and
36:31
in L A if you're trying to
36:33
live, put it's lists together of perimeter
36:35
oriented players who can take over games.
36:37
and maybe Terry you. To. A
36:39
final four or to even a
36:41
national championship. I'm paired. Santa Jr.
36:43
is he's on that list. as a
36:46
basketball player, the other stuff is is
36:48
complicated. And. It.
36:50
Makes the entire story complicated.
36:53
And it will become a bigger story the
36:55
further Illinois goes. Like. At some point
36:58
I know Bretton woods been ask questions but. Those
37:00
questions are going to stop. And. They certainly
37:03
will stop at the final four. If they get their, they'll
37:05
just. They'll. Ramp up and they'll
37:07
probably get a more. a little more intense,
37:09
a little more direct. But
37:12
if we're strictly talk and basketball hear, This
37:14
young man is one of the best while
37:16
players in the country. His looked like it
37:18
consistently and he's not the only reason illinois
37:20
in this position. but he deftly the biggest.
37:23
Yeah. Absolutely. And Illinois every boy literature
37:25
junior tonight. Marcus to masks yet that
37:28
little bit struggled. Seven points in this
37:30
game. But your Damascus, a guy who
37:32
can go for twenty points on any
37:35
given night com in Arkansas businesses are
37:37
twelve points. Has
37:39
three assists. Looks the part. I mean there's a
37:41
There's a lot of weapons on this Illinois team
37:43
that you know I can be taking them to
37:46
beat. You can't But if they end up giving
37:48
you gone a little bit of a puss would
37:50
be totally surprising. The seem as red red hot
37:52
right now. I'm. So.
37:55
With that will look ahead to Saturday just
37:57

38:11
West region. And. Will have
38:13
Clemson, an Alabama I haven't
38:15

38:19

38:21
chimp bomb. It
38:23
is Alabama minus two
38:26

38:33
something similar to that and assists Sort
