Holy Bad Internet Connection, Batman

[00:00:00] I'll have a take projection

[00:01:00] and

[00:01:28] the

[00:01:44] And what a reason for the last 12 minutes I thought we were playing really tight.

[00:01:52] I don't know it just seemed like, like we were with them, you know we went on like they went on a little run and then they went on an 8 point run and we went on an 8 point run.

[00:02:03] And then they hit another 8 and after that they went back up 8 again. We just, I don't know it just seemed like they were down a gap so they just weren't loose anymore.

[00:02:15] But you know that probably has more to do with you coming in and everything because they you know thunder to a different level the last 10 minutes.

[00:02:23] I mean that seemed like they hit all their clutch shots or defense picked up.

[00:02:27] And then we went cold.

[00:02:30] And shooting the ball.

[00:02:32] Ice cold.

[00:02:33] And then they got an area, it seemed like they got every loose ball out there and got multiple shots.

[00:02:41] We just had no answers toward the end.

[00:02:44] But you know the score definitely not indicative of how good a game we're in.

[00:02:50] And so they shut it out. I mean, they went up, you know the last five minutes I mean we really didn't do a lot but for 30, you know 30, about 35 minutes I mean we were there.

[00:03:06] Maybe, you know, you know, they knew they were in a game.

[00:03:11] But

[00:03:12] But

[00:03:18] It's, I think I said to my friends that's it's kind of what it must have been like for other teams to play us during the height of the Saban years.

[00:03:28] Throw everything you got at someone and they just swatted away continuously. Yeah.

[00:03:35] And that's the thing with you Connor.

[00:03:37] They don't

[00:03:40] They don't necessarily have like a true superstar I mean they just have a bunch of people that are really good.

[00:03:45] I was just going to say, you know, it was weird it seemed like the biggest moment again when Grant for us when Grant Nelson don't go on.

[00:03:55] I'll do

[00:03:58] After that is like it almost pissed them off because after that is when we didn't get any closer after that.

[00:04:04] They kind of shut everything down.

[00:04:06] Yeah, they went on there but another 80 run after that we never got closer to six points after that.

[00:04:13] We will always have that though that Grant Nelson don't go clinging now.

[00:04:18] Oh yeah.

[00:04:20] So they got in one honestly. I mean that was absolutely yeah that was one of those tough things about that game.

[00:04:28] I mean we had that and then the Pringle had that clean block on them too.

[00:04:33] They called a foul and it's hard the way that Kyle address

[00:04:38] Call these big man, you know we see it all season with a Zach idiot Purdue that these guys get a bunch of calls and didn't used to be like that.

[00:04:49] You know like Shaq used to complain that he got less fouls calling him because it didn't look like he was so strong it didn't affect him as much.

[00:05:02] It would have affected him.

[00:05:03] But he still didn't act.

[00:05:05] Yeah, he didn't destroy us.

[00:05:09] So it's unfortunate. Yeah, you run up against the team that they're good.

[00:05:15] That happens. I liked it marks.

[00:05:18] And that's the thing with that.

[00:05:22] Now what I was going to say I mean that's the thing about Yukon.

[00:05:24] I mean clearly I mean clean is kind of a star but I mean they don't necessarily have like a super true superstar.

[00:05:31] They just have a bunch of guys that are wrong.

[00:05:35] You know, that's how they were last year too.

[00:05:37] I mean there's no one that you're like that dude is amazing but as a unit that just come together and it just ridiculous.

[00:05:46] Yeah, it's a better true team.

[00:05:49] Yeah, I like that.

[00:05:52] Yeah, I did like that Mark Sears kind of trying to steal the ball from old coaches son at the end of the game didn't let that bullshit go there.

[00:06:01] I did like that.

[00:06:04] Yeah, I like that.

[00:06:09] Yeah, I mean it's something like you can't.

[00:06:13] I guess you know being in this is the first time I mean I wouldn't even really met like it looked I don't know like I didn't feel like I do after losses you know in the season there you know we almost to like Tennessee or Florida you know it was you know really different.

[00:06:31] I guess because you know it's our first final four for the last week didn't bother me too much just because I mean it's new territory for us and they have a new history.

[00:06:42] You know the main the main thing that you know is hopefully you know that they that we as a program we continue at this level.

[00:06:53] I mean we showed that we can we can do it and you know it doesn't have to be a fluke thing.

[00:06:59] Yeah, we may not make the final for every year but you know it shouldn't be another 20 30 years of lifetime before we get back to you know we you know where you know I feel like you know coach old I mean he

[00:07:17] not well we know what he's brought you know he's brought a style that people like to play with.

[00:07:25] No he's a solid recruiter I mean he's brought in a lot you know we have a couple of all Americans come McDonald's Americans coming in and then you know he hit you know he hits the trash for a portal really well.

[00:07:42] We just have to get us to keep getting the right guys to fit the system and hopefully you know find a find a center that can you know give us a next level.

[00:07:56] You know true more of a true big man.

[00:08:00] I mean we don't necessarily have one of these in scoring we just need inside presence.

[00:08:04] Yeah you need that like we talked all year about how Chuck Bidiakha being on this team would have really changed a lot of things.

[00:08:12] Man would have been so different and then maybe that would have been a difference on Saturday who knows.

[00:08:17] But yeah you mentioned we and I still.

[00:08:20] No I still wonder you know and I mean you know I've really paid attention when I was playing there G League.

[00:08:28] But I'm going to hear things like that.

[00:08:31] I mean I know right.

[00:08:35] Because the thing is you know the thing is with you know I help money.

[00:08:40] I mean honestly I mean I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

[00:08:44] You know the thing is with you know I help money.

[00:08:47] I mean honestly if you were in the NBA due to G League why not go back to college.

[00:08:56] You know because I mean there guarantee there's more and I have money honestly for the average guy.

[00:09:04] So yeah I don't know.

[00:09:07] But you know you know it's a fun run.

[00:09:12] And you know my main thing is hopefully we can just keep it going in some sense there.

[00:09:19] I'll make this where we know we build from this and we always say you know the second weekend should be almost a guaranteed thing.

[00:09:30] It shouldn't be really a year when we don't make that second weekend.

[00:09:34] And then you know once you get there you know I guess kind of sky is the limit.

[00:09:39] But you know sweet 16 should be the minimum for you know the level that we're paying after the last couple years.

[00:09:46] Yeah it should be big news if we don't make the second weekend.

[00:09:52] Right yeah.

[00:09:53] But yeah we from now we go.

[00:09:55] We hope that maybe at least one of Mark Sears or Grant Nelson stays obviously we want to both Mark Sears draft stock really shut up a lot of Jalen Bromson comparisons.

[00:10:10] Grant Nelson you know.

[00:10:12] And honestly I mean.

[00:10:15] And with like I mean the thing you know the first one Mark Sears the biggest thing is.

[00:10:22] If there's a time to go I mean I mean this is it.

[00:10:26] I mean just because I mean all his stock isn't probably never going to get out of here.

[00:10:33] And honestly I mean it does a year to go with this year because I mean this isn't exactly the cream of the crop drop class.

[00:10:40] It's always so hard to replicate his season.

[00:10:44] I mean he had the highest scoring season in Alabama basketball history.

[00:10:49] Yeah to match that kind of value he'd have to do it again next year not saying he couldn't very well could but like you said it might be note the time is now for him.

[00:11:04] But you know maybe you hope a guy like.

[00:11:06] Grant Nelson maybe get some talk but maybe you know have some guys tell him like look stay in another year.

[00:11:13] And be more consistent and.

[00:11:17] And then yeah we got to McDonald's all Americans coming in.

[00:11:20] Never know what they don't just the transfer portal or put another year for guys like.

[00:11:26] Rylan Griffin or right sell or Stevenson does you know.

[00:11:31] Yeah I mean you know Stevenson technically should be in high school.

[00:11:39] So hopefully we got you know we saw what he what his potential you know in that Carolina game we just.

[00:11:44] I'm not sure I'm not Carolina game the Clemson game we we saw you know where the what he could be there.

[00:11:51] You know it's.

[00:11:54] You know we saw Rylan the different times throughout the year I mean the time he just took things over.

[00:12:02] So I mean if we if we got the best of Rylan Griffin on a you know consistent basis I mean he could be something special.

[00:12:12] But.

[00:12:14] And if we can get some looks like I don't know.

[00:12:18] I saw some posts for human bases.

[00:12:22] You know that's one want to thank you policy kind of hearted a peace sign I don't know that means leaving.

[00:12:29] I don't know if you know but I mean he's a senior and I guess the only one who didn't have any.

[00:12:35] Because it's rather technically out of the transfer guys.

[00:12:38] We know yeah he's out of eligibility he's used his code.

[00:12:42] So yeah we'll see.

[00:12:47] It's just you know that's what we're in that part of the season we see what happens.

[00:12:52] We know at least it shouldn't be hopefully not as bad as last year where everybody's gone but.

[00:13:00] That's also the nature of college sports right now.

[00:13:05] That's the college sports.

[00:13:07] Yeah.

[00:13:08] There is a nature of it I mean they did.

[00:13:11] You know the other good thing too.

[00:13:13] I mean he was really different.

[00:13:15] But I know it's not going to be the same turnover there.

[00:13:20] I mean it's not going to be the same turnover there.

[00:13:23] It's not going to be the same turnover there.

[00:13:25] It's not going to be the same turnover there.

[00:13:27] And I know we think we're losing one.

[00:13:31] But you know it's not going to be the same turnover there.

[00:13:36] What you know.

[00:13:40] You know there's a certain notoriety that you get from making the final four.

[00:13:45] So you know hopefully we capitalize off that and use that to our advantage of recruiting the transfer portal anything else.

[00:13:54] And also it just shows you know that just the system that you run.

[00:13:59] I mean of course people are always always defense to defense and good but if you're a offensive player right now and you're like somewhere to go I mean you would have to think you could at least look at Alabama because I mean he runs a system that's beneficial to players.

[00:14:18] I mean they have to like his style.

[00:14:20] Basically you say hey jack up a tree that's cool.

[00:14:23] If it's a good shot you know.

[00:14:28] So I mean in today's game people have to be thrilled with that.

[00:14:33] I mean you know this is the guy that the only guy who's allowed to shoot the middle range jump shot was a straw.

[00:14:39] Just because he's a decent middle range guy.

[00:14:43] You know no one else really had that dream life so.

[00:14:46] But you know we just see what it will take us but you know I think just I'm just excited with the program is you know I mean.

[00:14:56] I mean since St. Ulta's been there I mean three sweet 16s in the lead eight finals war.

[00:15:03] To SEC regular season in.

[00:15:05] And turn champs I mean we've done a lifetime of Alabama basketball success and like five and a five.

[00:15:15] Period screens.

[00:15:18] Yeah.

[00:15:21] And a new height and there's no shame in listening to the defending champs who you know.

[00:15:27] Who's probably currently have on a six point half time lead in the title game so.

[00:15:32] Yeah.

[00:15:34] Yeah.

[00:15:35] But yeah like we said it sucked that we went cold we could you know I felt if we obviously we kind of shoot the whole game at a 70% clip but.

[00:15:44] And then you know there's not to you know blame the game on the rest we're not doing that but it was there's some.

[00:15:51] Shady niche you know like we said Grant Nelson should have had an M1 on that dog.

[00:15:55] Oh no we got some foul you know I don't think he had a lot more free throws than we did.

[00:16:05] But so it goes.

[00:16:07] Yeah I want to expect.

[00:16:09] To move on and let's do it again next year.

[00:16:12] Let's.

[00:16:14] Build the damn arena.

[00:16:18] Right I mean.

[00:16:20] This doesn't go to arena.

[00:16:22] Exactly.

[00:16:23] And especially important now that last night Sunday nights were recording this Monday night of course big big news coach cow has left Kentucky for Arkansas or at least is that's reports I don't know.

[00:16:38] I haven't seen an official official announcement.

[00:16:41] It's pretty official.

[00:16:43] And I mean it's pretty much.

[00:16:46] Yeah.

[00:16:48] I mean that's a crazy huge Arkansas program.

[00:16:54] Funny too could we mean and some friends were talking about you know the hierarchy of SEC basketball historically obviously Kentucky is number one far and away in the argument.

[00:17:03] But then we're at you know trying to talk about Alabama's place in it.

[00:17:07] We're especially now with the Final Four bid you know we talked Florida has five final fours two titles but it's really a lot of it is just kind of this century is very recent success.

[00:17:19] Arkansas are great traditional program to national title couple final fours but kind of fell off in recent years until least you know muscle man got it back up and going.

[00:17:32] Yeah.

[00:17:33] I mean he had with two elite two elite eights the sweet 16 and then they kind of just had a weird season this year like I think sounds like a lot of chemistry issues players not getting along whatever happened there so they fell off a little bit.

[00:17:52] And it's funny to think though that all all those dominoes started because the USC coach went insane right.

[00:18:01] And you trying to make a big move going to the ACC next year.

[00:18:05] They took USC's coach USC takes Arkansas coach muscle man.

[00:18:14] Arkansas takes coach cow and course NATO is on you know the list for Kentucky they would love to have him.

[00:18:23] He affirmed his commitment to Alabama today.

[00:18:27] Yeah.

[00:18:29] And really to you know like of course he was a high yeah high name in places style that you know Kentucky fans would love to see but at the same time you know he's he's the man at Alabama right now he can build his own legacy here you know he can get the statue out in front of the new arena that he helped us

[00:18:52] to get to the end especially you know if he finally brings in school a national title basketball or at least you know a few more final fours.

[00:19:03] Right.

[00:19:04] Because I mean yeah because I mean of course, you know like we always say Kentucky like us and football.

[00:19:12] Kentucky it's a national title where it does really matter.

[00:19:17] And you know there are no spoil fan base they expect they expect well for nothing.

[00:19:24] And you know for the wild cow had a wrong but you know last couple of years, you know they just haven't seen it as well.

[00:19:33] Of course I had some weird exits out of the first round of the tournament there's you know three years in a row making a second weekend.

[00:19:41] You know you've been getting into it with the fans.

[00:19:44] I mean, it was a marriage that was good and you know it ran its course and you know how would have expected you know they weren't they didn't fire to the losses tournament but

[00:20:00] You knew that it was one of those things like if you know I started out bad next year, you know things didn't go as you know you almost felt like a fire was going to happen at some point.

[00:20:11] You know I guess for everybody's better to get to stuff done now than you know do it mid season or you know after next season because I almost felt like a dead man situation you just knew that it you know it's one way or the other when

[00:20:27] you know it was better to know.

[00:20:30] No, yes that relationship had been on the rock for a while.

[00:20:34] Yeah that that relationship has been on the rocks for a while and for all of the wins coach cow had there just the one national title and that's 2012 and 2024 now and yeah long wait.

[00:20:49] Of course in the final four.

[00:20:52] I mean yeah man.

[00:20:55] He went to the final four and 1415 but just you know ran into 14 loss in the national title game as a I mean they came in that tournament as a eight seed and made it to the national title game awesome you can

[00:21:10] 15

[00:21:12] amazing team when they went to say well ran into Wisconsin in the final four.

[00:21:20] Yeah he almost had a you know the first unbeaten season of men's basketball since Bobby Knight in the Hootiers back in the 70s.

[00:21:29] In 76 yes and since then I mean that hasn't been just the last couple years just really didn't help them out at all and you know they had

[00:21:39] the horrible covid season.

[00:21:43] And then they had the bad Nevada exit with St. Peter's in the first round and then case state in the second round last year.

[00:21:53] And of course this year.

[00:21:56] Quick exit.

[00:21:59] And you know his style of course is always the one done.

[00:22:03] I mean that's what cows build his whole time off of I mean you know he had their grows in Memphis.

[00:22:11] You know but it seems like.

[00:22:17] That's not what necessary.

[00:22:19] I mean that's what I mean depends how you look at Cal success.

[00:22:24] You know if you look at it as he builds up guys and gets money for the league.

[00:22:29] Then I mean he succeeded is what he's done from a Kentucky fans standpoint.

[00:22:35] You know they probably feel like with all the five stars and big names and they've achieved considerably.

[00:22:42] So I guess it all depends how you look at the success for that program.

[00:22:48] I mean I see what he does in Arkansas.

[00:22:50] I mean obviously Arkansas the story program you know.

[00:22:55] Nolan Richardson had that thing rolling for a long time.

[00:22:59] They got up and down time since but it's you know really I mean this is the biggest main sense Nolan Richardson as far as just to know the right.

[00:23:09] Cal fun success everywhere he goes there.

[00:23:13] I mean obviously recruits like no other so it'd be interesting to see where.

[00:23:17] You know what type of recruits he brings to Arkansas.

[00:23:21] And you know I would have to think you'll probably have him rolling again next year.

[00:23:27] Because I mean if you look at Cal when he first gets somewhere I mean he wins the start.

[00:23:35] They're going to be I think they're going to be a four step and he's going to get them back to.

[00:23:40] You know what Arkansas fans I mean they're probably basically love the basketball program and they have some high expectations.

[00:23:47] Not nearly as high as Kentucky but I mean they expect their team to be competitive.

[00:23:52] I mean they really seem to I mean musclemen had a role in that until this year you know to lead eights.

[00:23:59] I mean I think I was a sweet 16 last year and then just didn't go this year.

[00:24:05] So you know fresh face and new star for Cal and a place but you know I think the arc is a fan base on pretty some at least you know to start off and we'll see how it goes from there.

[00:24:19] Yeah and it's just a great get for Arkansas.

[00:24:23] Like you said it's you know huge a coup for them but also kind of convenient for Kentucky and we'll see who Kentucky goes out.

[00:24:33] You would think like we said of course Nate Oaks probably gets a call at least but you would also think Kentucky probably wants someone who's won a national title maybe so that'd be interesting.

[00:24:47] Yeah obviously they're going for a big hire. I think they're going for a big splash and I want for just the middle or up and coming guy or anything like that and also the big name.

[00:24:57] You know at the end of the season just those some of the people and looks like I've been Matt Jones and you know the Kentucky sports radio stuff.

[00:25:08] I mean I guess one of their biggest things they've all stayed there program they like Scott you know Scott drew up from Baylor.

[00:25:16] I mean he's got some great success obviously you know he's won a national title in Baylor.

[00:25:23] I mean that's big in itself considering I mean that just doesn't happen in Waco or other thing where Kim Mouche did but on the men's side I mean before him that program was literally dead.

[00:25:37] I mean with all that weird stuff with Dave Bliss and the murders and all the craziness happening there.

[00:25:43] And turning from that into what he's turned it into is amazing you know and turn them into somewhat of a national power.

[00:25:53] Yeah and you can see why Kentucky will want that guy because you have to think it you know they're on the Mount Rushmore college basketball programs and you win at Baylor you would think you would definitely be able to succeed in Lexington.

[00:26:07] Yeah absolutely yeah Billy Donovan's another name you see trying to see if he wants to leave the pro.

[00:26:15] I mean the big thing is just I don't know you know you wonder you know he's been away from the college game for a while you know it's really different as far as recruiting at I am you know transfer portal is that some he wants to get involved in again.

[00:26:34] Because I mean he really didn't he really didn't experience to the world.

[00:26:38] I mean of course that transfers for a thing but not to the extent of course what they are now where people are building their team halfway on transfers so it'll be interesting to see what Steve even wants to do that.

[00:26:53] Of course now you have time in Kentucky under Petino's I mean he understands the understands the program so I mean that's a plus because you have to understand what you're getting into when you go to play second leg since then.

[00:27:08] He understands how to win the SEC obviously went in two national titles back to back and had a third in the three or four at least three final fours himself at Florida so you'd have to thank you.

[00:27:27] I mean you can probably do that in Lexington.

[00:27:33] And in other names you know but I have to think those are probably deleting leading guys there so let's see if anybody wants to job there.

[00:27:44] But you know it's one of those jobs I mean it's you know we all dollars who wouldn't want to come there because I mean it's one of those jobs is hard to say no to.

[00:27:54] But I guess all depends on what you're looking to do.

[00:27:57] If you want to take that next step to in the lead program or if you're happy with winning where you're at.

[00:28:07] So that'll be interesting because in Kentucky is different as we know you know it's not true I mean he's a legend.

[00:28:16] But I mean that pressure I mean there's no there's no pressure pressure and Waco he's a man and Waco you know.

[00:28:32] It'll be interesting yeah just not the only thing to the college game because I mean the NBA is a grind just because all the traveling stuff but.

[00:28:42] Just in that you know 82 game schedule but it's a different type of grinding college and he's been away from that for a while now so it'll be interesting to see if he wants to do that.

[00:28:55] I know they had mentioned patino but I don't know it's only bridges have been.

[00:29:01] That would be the funniest.

[00:29:04] I think that would be the fun.

[00:29:05] That'd be the wildest.

[00:29:09] That'd be crazy.

[00:29:12] It'll be yeah I've seen Bruce Pearl's name thrown up there but I don't think Mitch Barnard wants to go with a guy that's got a show calls on.

[00:29:20] Yeah I mean if any if anything like you know you look Bruce Pearl almost look at him as like a great value great value calipari in a way.

[00:29:34] You know you know a character of Boistress guy I mean he's either he's loving what you hate him.

[00:29:44] You know he recruits well obviously you can win you know we've seen him win that.

[00:29:52] That hasn't been as good the last couple years but I mean you still you know plenty some teams out.

[00:29:56] Some went into Tennessee before the show class.

[00:30:00] And then yeah I just don't know if that's what the way that Kentucky wants to go at the moment.

[00:30:11] Yeah and then he think obviously they give Dan Hurley a call but you know who knows if he wants to leave be like why would you leave you con yeah.

[00:30:22] Yeah do you believe I mean you if you went back to back titles I mean you're the man and you have that thing rolling in you.

[00:30:31] You even when you're at the top of the mountain like I don't know right.

[00:30:36] I don't see you falling off anytime soon.

[00:30:42] Yes yeah and like there's of course there's pressure you con but like you said he's the man especially if they finish the job tonight he wins back to back titles.

[00:30:52] And to go from that to Kentucky where they're just feverish for another national title now it's if you don't win one in the first two or three seasons.

[00:31:03] What's going on.

[00:31:05] Yeah so whereas you know now you know if he wins tonight you con he's got about a five year grace period where they're like nah you're cool you want us back to back we're good.

[00:31:15] As long as you know as long as he doesn't just completely fall off.

[00:31:19] Right.

[00:31:20] And the day with a situation to watch and the day with you kind of mean maybe because they're more tucked away and.

[00:31:28] You know the East Coast there but.

[00:31:33] It just doesn't seem to be like a certain high you know the done seem to be a certain.

[00:31:39] Like when in Kentucky it seems like they're all eyes are always on Kentucky you know everything is going on.

[00:31:47] You're a whole bunch out of you con you know kind of a small spot you know Far East Coast I mean little but obviously they have a great tradition but you know it doesn't seem to have the same I guess appeal as far as TV and drama that Kentucky was always had either.

[00:32:06] You know right there's not near the crazy stories and stuff for that.

[00:32:13] And I'm sure it is there because I mean all blue blood programs have that.

[00:32:20] Doesn't seem like it's the same as far as a craziness so they can then 10 Lexington but I don't think anywhere has quite that.

[00:32:28] Yeah it's.

[00:32:31] It was said are we interesting story to watch this week I imagine that Kentucky or want to get the replacement done quickly just because recruiting such a big thing.

[00:32:43] Yeah they want to do it right.

[00:32:46] And you know they'll want somebody to get in there and you know talk some maybe a couple guys out of transfer and maybe talk a couple guys in the state before draft season.

[00:33:01] Yeah.

[00:33:03] Yeah but that's it on the other side of things South Carolina completed their unbeat season.

[00:33:11] Don Staley or just cementing her status is just a bad ass one of the greats and women's game three national titles now under there.

[00:33:24] And you know the thing with and you know people always.

[00:33:34] Just the era that we're in and especially on the women's side I mean yes there's the elite programs that are step above everybody else but it right now is probably the hardest time to be a dominant program just because it's more.

[00:33:53] There's more equity across the board and.

[00:33:59] Yeah.

[00:34:01] When lost connection again there for a second but yeah it's there's a lot of great things I mean they had to be a great player and Caitlin Clark.

[00:34:13] You know yeah like you said it's not easy it never is and fancy a tournament on either side.

[00:34:18] But yeah anything else in the college game you want to hit all.

[00:34:26] No but I was just saying with.

[00:34:31] No I just saying you know just what you know she's done I mean today's women's game three just because.

[00:34:40] You know there's so many programs that.

[00:34:44] You know there's not just two three programs I mean there's a lot of great programs as much harder to win in this era to competitive levels on a different level right now the women's game.

[00:34:56] And further one three and honestly probably should have won last year as well I mean they kind of have a little girl house style.

[00:35:03] You can call it that I mean and honestly probably would have been the last year because they have a lot of these numbers.

[00:35:10] I mean there would have been two straight seasons of undefeated basketball.

[00:35:13] I mean that's just crazy was it record like 109 and three in the last three years or something.

[00:35:20] It's insane yeah.

[00:35:22] Yeah.

[00:35:23] Yeah.

[00:35:25] It's just an outstanding team outstanding program outstanding coach players.

[00:35:30] It's not going anywhere.

[00:35:32] Continue to get the best talent from the high school ranks to the transfer portal and then you know Don Faley's you know not only great basketball coach play if you want your kid to learn good life lessons and you know you can do that.

[00:35:43] I mean she seems to be that type of type of person you want your kid to play for you know more than just a wance on the court.

[00:35:51] It seems like just a good person like my my daughter was you know all American golfers and I think she's a great coach.

[00:35:56] She's a great coach.

[00:35:58] She's a great coach.

[00:36:00] She's a great coach.

[00:36:02] She's a great coach.

[00:36:04] She's a great coach.

[00:36:06] She's just a good person like my my daughter was you know all American.

[00:36:13] Guard or any type of you know anybody and the the can be a D one star basketball player.

[00:36:21] I don't think it's really for遊戲.

[00:36:23] You know exactly yeah.

[00:36:26] It's not on an after court so yeah by all accounts she's a great coach and an even better person.

[00:36:33] Yeah, never anything negative about it. No not one

[00:36:43] Yeah, like I said

[00:36:47] You know congratulations South Carolina

[00:36:52] And that's you know we're watching now to see if you can't and go back to back

[00:36:58] Yeah more and more and they're pulling away

[00:37:03] Yeah, I mean you don't see you come

[00:37:09] I finished things off

[00:37:22] Produce a good team but they not quite a team that can really go on that kind of spur

[00:37:30] But yeah

[00:37:33] See so that's probably it for the college game for now like we said this week will be watching you know for the Kentucky

[00:37:40] See what they make

[00:37:44] Everything the transfer portal go should be going crazy in the next oh

[00:37:49] Yeah, we heard too as well. So that'll be fun to see and just

[00:37:54] Interest see what we do without the program doing with the transfer portal players and then

[00:37:59] You know we're just kind of you know in the car basketball kind of fall back as a normally does into that

[00:38:09] you know until

[00:38:12] For most people until next March

[00:38:15] Yeah for us, you know if your best

[00:38:18] You love it, but yeah for most most people kind of fall back until March again

[00:38:25] or

[00:38:26] Well, you know we talked about it now with

[00:38:31] NATO tier you know her in Tuscaloosa

[00:38:34] No be a it's kind of weird to start anticipating

[00:38:40] Collet, you know basketball season in the middle of the season now, right? Yeah

[00:38:45] Yeah

[00:38:53] Bill D arena again, that's just

[00:38:58] Yeah

[00:39:00] Yeah, moving let's see real quick around the world of sports. We won't spend too much time since we're having some connection issues here

[00:39:08] but

[00:39:09] In the NBA I didn't want to say something we talk and talk and talk about how that West

[00:39:15] Just so tight together and then one little losing streak and a little behold my pelicans, you know

[00:39:22] Brandon Ingram gets hurt Zion gets a little injury that they struggle lose four to row and then all of a sudden they're back in

[00:39:29] the playing spots

[00:39:31] Yeah

[00:39:33] Fighting it out there. They're tied with the Suns but the Suns have the tiebreaker although the

[00:39:37] Mostly get finally get a win over them last night. Yeah

[00:39:41] Your Maverick still surgeon

[00:39:46] Clippers have recovered a little bit so they still got now they got a two game cushion on that fourth seed

[00:39:54] But yeah, you know rockets the rockets they they fell off a little bit

[00:40:00] Yeah, and they're officially limited. So we know

[00:40:03] So now the rain number one seed between Minnesota Denver and okay see and then for that to get out of that

[00:40:10] Like playing and get to that six spot

[00:40:13] We are

[00:40:16] And it's no easy roads to the pelicans

[00:40:19] I think their games left are the trailblazers and then the Kings Lakers and Warriors

[00:40:24] And then the Suns, I think they have two against the Clippers and then the Kings and then

[00:40:31] Either the Lakers or Warriors. I can't remember

[00:40:35] The T Wolves that's it. Yeah, the Suns have two against the Clippers the Kings and then the T Wolves

[00:40:41] So it's tough it's gonna be interesting things I did put in quite a performance

[00:40:48] Last night to kind of stop that skid

[00:40:56] But yeah

[00:40:58] So, yeah, you know, we're getting to that point of season. It's the stretch run the last four so games for everybody in the NBA

[00:41:05] And then this playoff time

[00:41:07] I

[00:41:11] Elsewhere, you know, not much going on, you know, it's early season major league baseball

[00:41:16] I guess the big story this year some more pitcher injuries

[00:41:22] People don't say about the pitch clock

[00:41:25] People saying that's causing the injuries because you're going faster than what they normally would

[00:41:30] Yeah, but there's no actually there's no study on it, you know

[00:41:37] That's all something about a yes for that. I was like, I don't I mean it may have some maybe true

[00:41:44] But who knows well, yeah the the players association the executive director released a statement and it blamed it

[00:41:52] But they don't have any studies to actually

[00:41:55] Back that up, you know

[00:41:59] So it's just you know

[00:42:02] It's just kind of one of those weird things

[00:42:05] Yeah, that you do wish

[00:42:10] Baseball could somehow figure out

[00:42:16] NFL, you know nothing we're still waiting for the draft at the end of this month. Yeah

[00:42:25] And yeah, it's kind of you know everything was very

[00:42:29] March man this centric here in sports lately

[00:42:32] Yeah, no man and man then especially don't know women's

[00:42:38] Rugby they may have

[00:42:40] their numbers in the final four for the women were ridiculous and that

[00:42:45] Well, of course last week's

[00:42:48] LSU Iowa game

[00:42:50] I

[00:42:55] Mean just ridiculous numbers. I mean even with the matchup as big as you

[00:43:01] Produce far as two of the best teams. I mean they're not touching the women's numbers

[00:43:09] It's crazy to think here I've argued we two of the best

[00:43:12] teams all season long consistent at the top of the rankings and

[00:43:16] You know to number one seeds and the dance mic is

[00:43:34] I think that LSU Iowa game was like the most watch college game period men or women on the skin for a while

[00:43:42] Yeah

[00:43:44] But speaking of to

[00:43:47] If you calm doesn't need hold on as it looks like they will they

[00:43:52] The

[00:43:54] Taken on sports bracket challenge will be won by

[00:43:57] $15 pretzel at Coleman

[00:44:01] So do hit us up on one of our social medias and you can find us Twitter

[00:44:08] Instagram blue sky threads

[00:44:11] Hit me up on there. We'll get it worked out. We'll get you a taken on sports shirt

[00:44:17] Sent your way

[00:44:19] So that's a great name

[00:44:22] That's a very expensive pretzel

[00:44:28] But yeah, hopefully that's a few pretzels for 15 I'd about say it either it's a really big pretzel man

[00:44:36] But

[00:44:38] Yeah, anything else you want to touch on real quick before we go

[00:44:44] No, you know, I just you know, just I guess, you know, they

[00:44:52] Just on you can I mean just the amazing

[00:44:57] Just with that, I mean when is this seven national championships is 99

[00:45:03] I mean, it's just wild

[00:45:05] Wow, I mean who I think you see at this point with UCLA in Kentucky have more titles in them

[00:45:12] Yeah, and of course as we know I mean UCLA's is

[00:45:17] So far, but you know so far behind

[00:45:22] I mean when 95 was your last title, you mean Kentucky's had more recent titles

[00:45:28] Of course, you know, they won a few in the 90s and in 2012

[00:45:31] But I mean just like you can I mean they're just winning now every decade. I mean you come put in one or two

[00:45:37] It seems like you know, yeah

[00:45:40] four and

[00:45:42] 1114

[00:45:45] Last year, you know, it's just wow. It's just a

[00:45:49] crazy for you know, just amazing program

[00:45:53] Maybe don't have the national hype of you know, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke Carolina, but I mean

[00:45:59] All

[00:46:01] Honestly, just with the success I've had in the last 30 years

[00:46:06] this is one of the

[00:46:09] Close just an epic run. I mean back to back titles first time since

[00:46:16] 0708 with

[00:46:19] 0607 with

[00:46:20] Florida, I mean obviously it's hard to win

[00:46:25] Back to back anything

[00:46:27] But then in today's, you know with everything with the

[00:46:32] Portal it's even it's even tougher and now, you know people going pro so quickly

[00:46:38] You know, it's hard to build a

[00:46:40] consistently

[00:46:42] Great program where everybody is able to do and what Dan Hurley's done is

[00:46:47] Stop not

[00:46:50] Yeah, absolutely and not only are they winning I mean there's no questions

[00:46:58] No, absolutely

[00:47:00] They're just running through folks

[00:47:03] Yeah, I mean they ran they ran last year. They ran this year

[00:47:09] It's just wow

[00:47:12] Yeah, but um

[00:47:14] This will actually be there six not seven they was it's okay, but they will pass dude

[00:47:20] So they'll tie Carolina

[00:47:23] For third all time and like you said, you know UCLA's last one was 95 and before that it was all 60s and 70s

[00:47:30] Yeah

[00:47:32] Most of us didn't hear I mean there's some course some people but I mean a majority of people under

[00:47:40] Under 50 never saw John Wooden coach

[00:47:45] We just know the name because

[00:47:48] I

[00:47:50] Saw stories and clips

[00:47:55] Yeah, really is a testimony we called them, you know, they're newer blue blood, but they are absolutely blue blood in the sport

[00:48:01] No pressure. You can't deny what you've done

[00:48:06] Yeah, like we said right now they're tied at five of Duke and Indiana, but you know Indiana's no program have a one since 87

[00:48:14] They follow them really hard times

[00:48:17] All right

[00:48:19] But it's actually crazy looking at this list now only three four five six

[00:48:25] 10

[00:48:26] 11 12 13 4 only 15 teams have more than one title all time actually

[00:48:32] Just impressive some interesting names on this list to San Francisco

[00:48:37] course back in the

[00:48:40] The shit who played San Francisco

[00:48:44] Was it bill was it Bill Russell Russell? I think it was

[00:48:50] Of course Oklahoma State I think had the first two NCAA tournament titles back in the day

[00:48:59] Got

[00:49:01] Florida had their two back-to-back Cincinnati had to weigh in the back in the day

[00:49:06] Louisville's got three

[00:49:09] You know

[00:49:11] Kansas for you know being you know one of the blue buds only you know quote unquote only has four

[00:49:21] Yeah, and one of those you know we were in barely old enough to

[00:49:28] 88

[00:49:31] 88 I mean

[00:49:39] One

[00:49:41] And then no way to beat

[00:49:44] Derek Rose could their growth miss a free throws and then they

[00:49:48] Beach cow could have had another one himself. Yeah. Yeah

[00:49:53] Yeah, I mean it's just amazing what they've done

[00:50:00] Upper echelon of basketball and yeah, I mean

[00:50:05] You got to think that early is gonna

[00:50:08] Keep on at this level

[00:50:11] Gets the right people in his program to buy a completely

[00:50:15] They can play any type of style

[00:50:18] They can they play great defense

[00:50:23] Methodically just put you to sleep and then all of a sudden you're down 15 and there's nothing you can do about

[00:50:31] Yep

[00:50:35] Yes, we saw producing right now

[00:50:38] Yeah

[00:50:40] But yeah, that should do it for us. Let's go ahead get out of here. I

[00:50:45] Should have some fun trying to edit this

[00:50:48] The show

[00:50:50] Yeah

[00:50:51] But real quick what's been done up real good for you

[00:50:55] You know, honestly, I mean the final four game in itself, but even more so man
