Speaker 4 Anthony Davis returns after 18 game absence versus the net. And he returns 12 points, six rebounds three assists six of nine field goals in 27 minutes he look good look
Speaker 4 but i don't know how many i don't know how many players the lakers would have traded ad for
Speaker 4
but you got to trade in for luca yeah there ain't a whole lot of players a team won't trade uh it's reported that They called Minnesota by Ant-Man. No.
It's reported they called Milwaukee by Giannis.
Speaker 4 no
Speaker 4 uh they're not getting yoke i'm trying to think can you name another player you probably couldn't get i wouldn't break up jt and jb right but other than that you don't have somebody here everybody's a green light everybody else a green light
Speaker 4
Everybody else is a green light. So you can't feel bad.
And
Speaker 4
y'all know what I think of AD. I love AD.
I like him and Brian together because he was the last line of defense.
Speaker 4
He could guard pretty much one through five. He was tremendous in the pick and roll.
Right. Excellent, excellent.
Help side defense. He could give you 25 and 12 on a nightly basis.
Speaker 4
But 32-year-old AD versus 26-year-old Luca. Yeah.
And then obviously an injury-prone AD,
Speaker 4 which has always been an issue of his, not being able to be on the court, but understanding what he gives you once he's on the court.
Speaker 4 But the problem is, is you make the trade,
Speaker 4 it happens.
Speaker 4 He comes out, he gives you the AD you used to, but not enough consistency to be able to stay on the court to make the fans feel like, okay, you know what? We let Luca go, but we still got AD.
Speaker 4 He's still able to come here and produce.
Speaker 4
He's not Luca, you know, by any means, but he's still a quality player that can put butts in the seats and be productive night in and night out when he's on the court. Yes.
To see him come back and
Speaker 4 have a good game tonight, you know, before until he gets his legs up underneath him,
Speaker 4 gets acclimated to the speed of the game and gets himself back in rhythm.
Speaker 4 So still decent tonight, though.
Speaker 4
Yeah, that's one of the reasons, Ocho. When he stays healthy, we seen him last year.
I think he played like 70 plus games, which is the most games he's played in a very long time.
Speaker 4
We know what AD can do. He's as skilled as anybody.
He can shoot the three.
Speaker 4 Now, he's not shooting 40%, but he got the three ball in his repertoire, mid-range game, can post it, can put it on the floor, can finish at the the rim above the rim you file he's gonna go to the free throw line he's gonna make 80 plus percent of his free throws so offensively and we know he's one of the two or three best defensive players in all of basketball right we're not even that's not even up for debate but like you said his injury history made it real easy plus his age made it real easy for the lagers to say you know what
Speaker 4 Luca for LeBron, Luca for AD, plus we got another decade of Luca, and we need superstar in order to attract.
Speaker 4 Because you look at that, when you look at this court side and you look at everybody else's court side, only the Knicks can rival it. Yeah, it's different.
Speaker 4 It's different.
Speaker 4 And it's always been different and always going to be different.
Speaker 4
And that's what you need to attract. Those stars that come out and watch is a Luca.
Doc Rivers says he doesn't get enough credit for winning three games in a playoff series where he blew 3-1 leads.
Speaker 4
No one tells the real story, and I'm fine with that. It's unfair in some ways.
I don't get enough credit for winning those three games. I get credit for losing.
Speaker 4
I always say, What if we had lost to Houston in six? No one cares. One thing that I'm proud of is that we've never been swept.
All coaches have been swept in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 My team achieved, a lot of them overachieved, and I'm proud of that.
Speaker 4 Did he say this out loud? Yeah, I'm not sure. Hold on, he said this so somebody could write it.
Speaker 4 Wait,
Speaker 4 is this really his quote?
Speaker 4 I mean,
Speaker 4 are we happy about are we happy about losing, but the fact that we didn't get swept, swept,
Speaker 4 is that satisfying? Is this some type of moral victory or something?
Speaker 4 It's more embarrassing that you had a 3-1 lead and you couldn't win another game.
Speaker 4 Hey,
Speaker 4 I just want to know how you feel about it.
Speaker 4 Come on, man.
Speaker 4
You know what? I wouldn't even say nothing. I said, yeah, hey, that's on me.
Yes, I've had 3-1 lead in five or six series, and we weren't able to get it done.
Speaker 4 I've got to do a better job of putting my players in position so we can get it done.
Speaker 4 I would have never, ever said, I don't get enough credit for winning three games because it's not a best of five. Doc, you came in and they used to be a best of five.
Speaker 4 As a matter of fact, I'm old enough to remember they used to be a best of three.
Speaker 4
Yes, they were the best of three. And because you had a best of three, a best of five.
The Eastern Western Conference was the best of seven. So was the NBA Finals.
Speaker 4
So, Doc, if you had won three games in a best of five, you got a ton of credit. Yeah.
But in a seven-game series, it's the first of four, not the first of three.
Speaker 4 Doc said that.
Speaker 4
Doc said that out loud. I'm just, you know, also, I'm just want to ask you, do you really think this is his quote? Is it from a reliable source? Yes, him.
He's talking. Yes.
It's in quotes.
Speaker 4 Yeah, that's what he said.
Speaker 4
It's the Mark Spears. He said, no one tells the real story, and I'm fine with that.
It's unfair in some ways. I don't get enough credit for getting those three wins.
Speaker 4 You don't get credit for winning games, you get credit for winning series. Right
Speaker 4 if it, if it's MCA,
Speaker 4 you get credit for winning games.
Speaker 4 One, one in one shot, not in a series, not where it takes four.
Speaker 4
Come on, doc. Doc, Doc is too much of a student of the game.
Doc has too much basketball, high-level IQ to ever say something like this to have it printed.
Speaker 4 Lord, have mercy.
Speaker 4 Uh-oh.
Speaker 4 How, oh, Joe, that'd be like, that would be the equivalent of DQ said, hey, I don't get enough credit for having a 28-3 lead on the Patriots. I don't get enough credit for that.
Speaker 4 Because I did have a lead. How many coaches ever had a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 What good is that? You lost. Yeah.
Speaker 4 Yeah, you lost. That's the same thing when the Houston, though, the Oilers had that big lead
Speaker 4 against Buffalo.
Speaker 4 A lead? You're talking about a lead. Not winning the game, but we had a lead.
Speaker 4 It's even more embarrassing that in the first to four, you won three games and you lost the series still.
Speaker 4 Dang.
Speaker 4 I don't know.
Speaker 4 I need more context to the conversation because the way it's being worded doesn't sound like, come on, Doc. Would you really say something like that? Would you work for credit for winning? Because
Speaker 4
he has the most blown 3-1 leads in NBA history. He's saying, y'all not giving me credit for winning three games.
Nah,
Speaker 4 that ain't three.
Speaker 4 Who's get credit? Hold up. That ain't the way it worked, though.
Speaker 4 In nothing, in nothing you do in life.
Speaker 4 He had
Speaker 4
against the Celtics in 23, a 3-2 lead, lead, lost. 2020 against the Nuggets in the bubble, 3-1 lead, lost.
2015, the Rockets.
Speaker 4 He was at the Clippers at the time. Lost.
Speaker 4 2012 against the Heat, 3-2 lead, lost. 2010 against the Lakers, 3-2, lost.
Speaker 4 2009 against the Magic, 3-2, lost.
Speaker 4 2003, Pistons, 3-1, lost.
Speaker 4 My goodness.
Speaker 4 Listen, what are we supposed to do with that, Ocho? The difficulties of being a coach.
Speaker 4 The difficulties of being a head coach at the highest level. Here's the question.
Speaker 4 The question Mark Spears asked him: How do you deal with all the criticism you've received from the media and on social media from losing 3-1 Series leads four times?
Speaker 4
Doc quote was a a direct response to what he was asked by Mark J. Spears.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 How do you feel with all the criticism you received from the media and on social media? So I guess ain't nobody else criticizing him, huh?
Speaker 4 You don't think other coaches talk about damn doc?
Speaker 4
You don't think players say, so what you think? I get it. Blaming the media.
Right.
Speaker 4
Blame social media. So, but we're the only ones.
Ain't no player.
Speaker 4 As a matter of fact, fact what happened when he lost the clippers 3-1 lead and i guess management blamed him too they got him up out of there yeah yeah okay uh uh uh uh uh billy
Speaker 4 what did they do they got him up out of there so i guess it ain't just the media and social media so i have his bosses so i hold on i hold on hold on now hold on now i have a question I think now the opportunities given when it comes to the NFL is a little bit different as opposed to
Speaker 4
the NBA. Now, he's continues to get jobs for a reason.
Exactly. So, you can't say.
Yeah,
Speaker 4 he's a great coach.
Speaker 4 He's a great coach.
Speaker 4 He has to be great at something that he does because there's a reason you continue to have all these jobs despite the losses that are happening at important times, at the wrong times. Yeah.
Speaker 4
And they're letting you go, but you get the job somewhere else right away, like it's nothing. So there's something special about him.
Right.
Speaker 4 I don't like that answer though. Hell no, nobody likes that answer.
Speaker 4 If he can take it back, if he can read the quote now with a little bit of clarity and understand
Speaker 4 and let me let me let me finish. I guarantee you hear we hear worded different hear worded differently.
Speaker 4 Because if I'm telling you,
Speaker 4 you see how you in your right state of mind is sitting here reading it and then getting better context. He was drunk.
Speaker 4 yeah i i hey
Speaker 4 yeah yeah let's let's put up because we want to put some more comments because you think he was taking out of context he had no idea oh no i know it wasn't because once you told me what the question was that that gave me a better understanding it was a direct question so the answer and the quote was literally direct based on you know sometimes you know sometimes at least okay how about this here it is what it is it's a part of my legacy there's nothing i can do about it i got a team that was an eighth seed up 3-1 that's coaching coaching.
Speaker 4 That's not bad coaching.
Speaker 4
There are several eighth seeds that have actually won. The Denver Nuggets was the first eight seed.
They beat the Seattle Super Sergeants, who was the number one seed, but we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 4 The one with the Clippers is the only one that got away. But people don't realize that Chris Paul was running on one leg in 2015 with the Clippers.
Speaker 4 And we also, the underdog in that series, when you think about it, Houston had home court, not us.
Speaker 4 So let me get, it was good enough. You got, you beat them twice on their home court to get a three,
Speaker 4 to get a 3-1 lead. Right.
Speaker 4
So he was on one leg. So one leg got you a 3-1 lead.
One leg couldn't get you another win. Okay.
Speaker 4 Okay. How about this? We didn't have home court.
Speaker 4 Well, it goes road to your first two games.
Speaker 4 at the village if you're the underdog that means the first two games at their home so that means in in order for you to get a 3-1 lead you had to have won one game right on their court exactly
Speaker 4 it's on your resume doc
Speaker 4 i think the best thing could have said hey look it's a part of it's it's a part of me i wish maybe i could have done something different right uh called different plays put players in different situations
Speaker 4 but to say i don't get enough credit for winning three games when it's a four-game series, when it's a seven-game series and it's the first of four, not the first to three,
Speaker 4 you got to miss me with that one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 He got to miss me with that one. So
Speaker 4 sorry, Doc. We can't
Speaker 4 agree on that one.

Oh, Joe, we've got breaking news coming in. A lot of y'all have been commenting in the chat.
Juju Watkins was carried off minutes into the Mississippi State game.
Speaker 4
Watkins was on a fast break, just under five minutes to go. She appeared to have gotten tangled up with a Mississippi State player.
She immediately went down, grabbed her right knee, visibly
Speaker 4 in pain. A foul was called on the Mississippi State Chandler, Chandler Pratt, Prater, Prater.
Speaker 4 Damn. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4
That just happened. It did.
Damn.
Speaker 4 It did.
Speaker 4 Okay.
Speaker 4 Man.
Speaker 4 Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 She's screaming.
Speaker 4 It didn't look good.
Speaker 4 Oh, my.
Speaker 4 Dang.
Speaker 4 What do you think? I can't see. What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 You think it's... I don't even want to speculate, but she grabbed her knee
Speaker 4 and she's screaming.
Speaker 4 She immediately grabbed her knee and she's screaming. Damn.
Speaker 4 Damn.
Speaker 4 I'm hoping for the best, though.
Speaker 4 I'm hoping for the best, too, Ojo.
Speaker 4
I don't want to put that out there. Let's just say she went down.
She did not return to the game. We're going to wait till they give us a diagnosis after this game, but it did look good.
Damn.
Speaker 4 Ocho, March Madness has zero perfect brackets that remain. More than
Speaker 4
34 million brackets was entered. None remained perfect.
It took 43 games, but number three Kentuckies,
Speaker 4 84-75 win over number six Illinois, busted the final bracket. So, Ocho, this is the first time that a men's perfect bracket has lasted until the second round since 2019.
Speaker 4 In 2024, the last perfect men's bracket was busted in the 31st game of the tournament.
Speaker 4 Are you surprised that there are no perfect brackets remaining?
Speaker 4 Listen, I'm not surprised because if you look at the odds when it comes to having a perfect bracket and winning prize money or winning something for having the perfect bracket, I mean, you would know the chance of winning
Speaker 4 or having the perfect bracket is less likely than actually winning the lotto.
Speaker 4 If I'm not going to speak it statistically, if it's like that, the chance of having a perfect bracket, you would have to almost guess or create multiple brackets.
Speaker 4 at that to actually have one that goes perfect and have a different scenarios and the way games are going to play out. Because if you look at it, this unknown only comes down to one game.
Speaker 4 It comes down to one game.
Speaker 4 i was i was excited and didn't even create a bracket i just went on a limb and said you know what hell saint john's is going to win the whole thing and st john done they didn't they didn't win
Speaker 4 the second round they didn't lose in the second round so if i had a bracket which i didn't that the goddamn one team i did pick now they going home yep
Speaker 4 And because normally if your team normally is hard for you to win a bracket if the team that you picked up win the tournament gets knocked out early.
Speaker 4
Because think about all the, because because you had them winning, they got knocked out the ride of 32. So now they don't make the sweet 16.
They don't make the elite eight.
Speaker 4
They don't make the final four. So one side of your bracket is already gone.
Unless you're perfect on the other side, it's hard for you to overcome that.
Speaker 4 But this is why people love Marky Madison so much is the uncertainty, the
Speaker 4
unpredictability of college basketball. Because you're not dealing with professionals here, OG.
You're dealing with kids. You're dealing with 18 to 20, 21-year-old kids.
Speaker 4
Maybe some are a little older now because of the portal and what we had with COVID. So sometimes the kids are 22, 23 years of age.
Right.
Speaker 4
You're not dealing with professionals, although some of them are getting paid. So I guess you would consider theoretically consider them professionals.
But when you look at it like that, Ocho,
Speaker 4 I'm not surprised. I'm surprised there haven't been more upsets.
Speaker 4 Because normally,
Speaker 4 yeah, yeah, you're normally comes. I don't think we had, we don't, we didn't have any like, what, 13, 14 seeds that that upset anybody this year.
Speaker 4 Normally we have a 13 to 14 seed, a 15 seed that would upset somebody.
Speaker 4 It's just hard now, Ocho, because the freshmans, if you're really good, you leave.
Speaker 4 And the portal guys going back to going one school here and didn't like the amount of playing time or they got into it with coaches or whatever the case may be. And so now, guys, the talent is spread.
Speaker 4
Guys are not just going to Carolina, Duke, and Kentucky, and Kansas. Guys are spreading out.
Yukon, even though they lost today to Florida.
Speaker 4 but that's what happened that's what happened and you're gonna see this start to see this i think a little bit more in football also ocho the unpredictability of college football because the guys are starting to spread out because you know what there are a lot of teams they got money now they might not have as much as ohio state or say of michigan or alabama or georgia but hey considering i was gonna get nothing that i can get 200 300 000 that's pretty good money for an 18 year old that's entering college and though when i when i think about it you talk about the landscape and how the dynamic of of the playing field has somewhat even because players are going everywhere.
Speaker 4
I think when it comes to college football, I think that's already happened. I think it's already happened.
From the
Speaker 4 days when the hurricanes, the Florida Gators, and the Florida and the Seminoles used to absolutely
Speaker 4 dominate collegiate football and get all the great players, especially from down here in Florida, as opposed to now, listen, the kids out of Florida and Texas and in LA, they're going everywhere.
Speaker 4
They're going to Ohio State, they're going to Alabama. Look at Amari Cooper.
Look at Jerry Judy. Look at Jeremiah Smith.
He's at Ohio State. Yeah.
Speaker 4
Look at Lamar Jackson. He's from Florida.
He went to Louisville.
Speaker 4
So, where guys, the guys from Florida would normally stay home. They're like, nah, we go.
We got it there. Yeah.
Speaker 4 And so, you know, if Florida could actually keep their guys, that's why Florida, Florida State,
Speaker 4
Miami, the Kanes, that's why they were so good because they normally kept that homegrown talent. Now that homegrown talent, they leave.
Yeah. And so
Speaker 4 Ridley in Cavalry, in Cavarilla,
Speaker 4 calvin really
Speaker 4 he and his brother they they they went out of state and so you you're right ocho i think because the guys are starting to leave and starting to spread out
Speaker 4 you're going to see you're going to the likelihood you see the domination that you once saw no i don't know if we're going to see that again no it's not going to happen listen unless unless there's some booster from somewhere that comes along with
Speaker 4 an abnormal amount of money and it's starting and starting let's say you and for example or florida state in order in order for them to get back to their dominating ways they have to come in come in and come into these homes yeah and offer some of these five star start five star kids or steal players from other other schools yeah yeah that's what you're gonna need to do ocho yeah based on the amount of money they're willing to pay them yeah
Speaker 4 in order for the hurricanes or the seminoles to get back to how it was back in the 90s you got to keep all homegrown kids right here within the state
Speaker 4 um when you look at it ojo and like you said okay
Speaker 4 you got to get a kid that was like you like a Jordan Addison. Yeah, he won the Bolitna Cuff Award at Pitt, and now he ends up in USC.
Speaker 4
USC, yeah, because you got those big movie studio execs and all those guys that went to USC. That's a big film school.
Yeah,
Speaker 4 uh, uh, which one of those? Uh, is it Katzenberg
Speaker 4 or David Geffen that went to USC?
Speaker 4 It's one of them because uh, SKG is Spielberg,
Speaker 4 Katz,
Speaker 4 and Geffen.
Speaker 4 Spielberg, Katzenberg, and Geffen. SKG?
Speaker 4 But I know one of them got a film school named after him at USC.
Speaker 4 Because they started Pixar, didn't they?
Speaker 4 SKG.
Speaker 4 Spielberg, David Geffen.
Speaker 4 But that's what you're going to have to have, OJo. You're going to have to have, like you said, those big guys
Speaker 4
to have that kind of money. You see a Larry Ellison, his wife went to Michigan.
He intervened and got Bryce Underwood to flip from LSU to Michigan. Yep.
Speaker 4 DreamWorks, SKG, Spielberg, Kessenberg, and Geffen, right? Which one went to USC? Because one of them has a Spiel school named after him. I think it's David Geffen.
Speaker 4
But it might be Kessenberg. DreamWorks, yeah.
Not Pixar. Cooper Flagg scores 18 points in his second round win over Baylor.
The Blue Devils finished the first half on a 12-0 run, and
Speaker 4 the run didn't slow down after the half, asserting their dominance in an 89-66 win.
Speaker 4 Cooper Flag was once again the best player on the court, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, six assists at a block.
Speaker 4 While Tyrese Proctor added 25 points and shot seven of eight from the three, Duke have been dominant and has shown that they still can win it all. You're absolutely right, Ocho.
Speaker 4 They look like the most impressive team that I've seen in the tournament.
Speaker 4 Hey, from top to bottom, from top to bottom in every phase on the court, in transition, on offense, on defense, everything about Duke looks phenomenal. I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 I think they might be the anomaly.
Speaker 4 I might be using anomaly in the wrong context in the instance where I'm talking about Duke might be in one of the teams where regardless of what day it is, they probably will beat everybody.
Speaker 4 I'm not sure who can compete with them or contend with them.
Speaker 4 You would probably be better versed and well-knowledge in the game of collegiate basketball to tell me, is there a team that can actually challenge duke based on what i've seen so far and based on what i've seen during the regular season right
Speaker 4 hold on for a second would you say all of them went to usc all of them have schools named after
Speaker 4 schools the church
Speaker 4 yeah it's all we're not surprised so that's how usc is able to get got be able to flip get joordatisa after he won the blitt in the copper ward at uh and get him to come to usc but cooper flagged he looked good.
Speaker 4 I mean, you watched him at high school at Mount Verde,
Speaker 4
Mount Verde, and he was sensational. And he hadn't disappointed.
He looks like he's going to be the presumptuous number one overall pick in this upcoming draft. Oh, so he's not coming back.
Speaker 4 Not bad ain't coming back.
Speaker 4 You want to go to the NBA? How can you get higher than number one? I can see if he's going to be like an end of the lottery pick. He's going to be number one to do, come back to do what?
Speaker 4 Hey, it's so funny
Speaker 4
watching him play today and watching Cooper Flag. He just reminded me so much of myself when I was in high school.
Our game is very similar, very similar. He can, you know,
Speaker 4 he can score, he can score from anywhere, mid-range, you know, put the ball on the floor, take people along, you know, in the post, back, you know, back to the basket.
Speaker 4 I mean, just it's, he can shoot the three a little bit. I mean, it's just very reminiscent of myself, you know, in high school back in 1991.
Speaker 4
And it's a joy to watch. It's a joy to watch.
Somebody say Cooper flags the best prospect since LeBron. Did you not just see Wimby come out last year?
Speaker 4 So he's a better prospect than Wimby.
Speaker 4 You feel comfortable saying that?
Speaker 4 No.
Speaker 4 Hey, listen,
Speaker 4 one thing about us in general, people, in general, society, we are prisoners of the moment. Absolutely.
Speaker 4 Whatever is hot right now, that's what it is. And you forget about some of the great players that have come in the past.
Speaker 4 Hey, nigga, my dog. Titan, what's up, baby? Well, you could, hey, you couldn't let, you couldn't let me get no more, no more moments, huh?
Speaker 4 Titan.
Speaker 4 He said, my auntie, said my auntie had me for 10 days, and I was ready for her to leave, Ocho.
Speaker 4
Say, she'd be stingy. Say, she don't want to be sharing no chicken tenders.
She don't share nothing.
Speaker 4
So I was ready for it to go. Inflategate, Ocho.
Players are complaining about over-inflated basketballs.
Speaker 4
Here's a list of the players that have spoken out about the absurdity of the ball over inflation in the NCA tournament game. Oh, come on, man.
You know, you had Sam Decker, Kobe Bray,
Speaker 4 Coleman Hawkins,
Speaker 4 Joseph Gerard III, Don Connect last year, Armando Baycott, Hunter Dixon.
Speaker 4 What do you think, Ocho? Is it something or nothing? Man, I mean, to me, honestly, it's nothing. I wouldn't be complaining about the ball.
Speaker 4 You know, when you were growing up, sometimes you had to worry, but you had no control over the conditions, huh? You're playing outdoor, you play indoor. Sometimes there's no net.
Speaker 4
Sometimes there's a net. Sometimes it's a chain net.
Sometimes it's a double rim. Sometimes the ball is flat.
Sometimes the ball is full. Either way, you adapt, you make the adjustments necessary.
Speaker 4
Now you see what I mean? Now we got players that done got to college. Now they complain about the goddamn ball and begin how we grew up.
Well, I'm not sure how they grew up.
Speaker 4
Everybody had a silver spoon based on this area that's in college right now. I'm just, listen, I ain't even had no shoes.
I had the hooping pee class and a pair of trucks.
Speaker 4
Everybody's hooping chucks. I know, but I'm just saying.
I'm still hooping the chucks. And they talk about, oh, the ball is too much in the ball.
Speaker 4 Man, if you don't go out there and play basketball and adjust and adapt to the goddamn ball, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 Man,
Speaker 4 boy, hey, Chad, I was the chat could have saw me, boy.
Speaker 4 Boy, back in back in 1990.
Speaker 4 You look like you played in the 60s, the way you holded that basketball.
Speaker 4 I have an unorthodox unorthodox grip you hear me i got an unorthodox drip i have an unorthodox game you do
Speaker 4 so do you uh let me ask you a question do you think that you think there's something to this what should the nch should they look into it should they check the ball hey um honestly honestly as a player i'm just saying as a competitor i wouldn't care about that that that just me now i can't speak on behalf of the players if they're saying maybe the ball has too much air in it i mean maybe maybe it does
Speaker 4 should that affect your game in any way no when you shoot the ball don't hit the rim when you put the ball on the floor you know what to do with it no air
Speaker 4 a lot of air
Speaker 4 it shouldn't matter it shouldn't affect anything that that that's just me i ain't complaining about no damn ball i'm going out there and i'm from the hoop if you're a true hooper
Speaker 4 Now, I'm talking about a true hooper. If you're a true hooper, you adapt regardless of circumstance
Speaker 4 i'm i'm i ain't telling you what i heard i'm telling you what i know you think the you think the player they go to rug apart they complain about the ball being having too much air
Speaker 4 well i think sometimes these arenas are bigger than what they normally play in i think you know you heard the nba player saying you got to get used because the depth perception because you you know you used to play it in and now they're playing in multi-purposes arena And so maybe that has something to do with maybe the ball could be overimplated.
Speaker 4 It's a little, you know, go ahead. I have a question.
Speaker 4 Don't they have shoot around in college football and college basketball too, right? Yeah.
Speaker 4 There's plenty of time to make the necessary adjustments to your game, to your skill set based on the balls that you are using. Me personally, I'm just saying, they have a right to complain.
Speaker 4 It's just something I wouldn't complain about. Before we have a football game, what does the coach tell you to go do two hours before the game? Go out there and test the what? Test your shoes.
Speaker 4 So you know what shoes you need to wear because you might have to make the necessary adjustments based on the field you plan on. Yep.
Speaker 4
Come on, man. We talk about the ball having too much air, man.
We ain't even had no air in our balls in PE back in the 80s. And
Speaker 4 I may do just like that.
Speaker 4
Talk about the ball got too much air in it, man. Child, please, man.
Come on, man.

Speaker 29 Hey, Bowen, it's gift season.
Speaker 30 Ugh, stressing me out.
Speaker 31 Why are all the people I love so hard to shop for?
Speaker 4 Like me? Exactly.
Speaker 29
Honey, I'm easy. But you're right.
Holiday gifting is stressful.
Speaker 30 And all the gift guides out there are boring and uninspired. Wait, what about the guide we made? In partnership with Marshalls, where premium gifts mean incredible value?
Speaker 4 It's giving gifts!
Speaker 29 A series of guides filled with premium gifts at great value for everyone on your list.

Speaker 33 United Healthcare Nurse Crystal checked in on a patient.
Speaker 34 We do a routine call after surgery, and I could tell in her voice that she was struggling.
Speaker 33 Crystal knew she needed help.
Speaker 34
And I knew that this is very serious. This is like septic.
This is life-threatening. And she knew just what to do.
And I called the hospital and said she's coming in, here are her labs.
Speaker 4 And got her the help she needed.
Speaker 34 I see my role at United Healthcare as a life-saving role.
Speaker 33

Speaker 4
We're going to get into March Madness. I'm going to show you this a little later.
Day one of March Madness in the books. Hey, got an upset already, Ocho.
Speaker 4 The biggest upset of the tournament thus far, McNeese, number 12, McNeese State, over number five, Clemson, 69-67.
Speaker 4 McNeese became the 47th number 12 seed to win a first-round game since 1979, and in the process, won his first NCA tournament game in school history.
Speaker 4 The performance comes in wake of Coach Will Wade's agreement. He's leaving McNeese at the end of the tourney run to become the head coach of the Wolfpack of NC State.
Speaker 4 But Wade's transparency with his players and the mission that he had contact with NC State did not become a distraction. He said, Ocho, do you think him leaving propelled his team to spring this up?
Speaker 4
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe so. But listen, you know, when it comes to basketball, it's one game.
It's not a seven-game series, it's not a five- or six-game series.
Speaker 4 You go out there, and what team shows up that specific day? Your ranking don't matter, it don't matter what you've done during the regular season.
Speaker 4 Once it comes to martial madness, you got one shot, one shot to get it right, and they got it right.
Speaker 4 Maybe there might have been some type of motivation behind coach, them knowing coach is leaving, and you want to send him out the right way.
Speaker 4 And if this is any testament to that kudos to them
Speaker 4 yeah they play really well oh the thing is is that there's a difference between truth and transparency you see the difference see truth is you ask me a question i tell you the truth transparency is you telling me something that i didn't even ask you
Speaker 4 uh
Speaker 4 i'm gonna do that
Speaker 4 hold on look at that
Speaker 4 we just started the show
Speaker 4 Hey, hey, I'm going to start. You know what? I'm going to start.
Speaker 4
Oh, no, we're not doing that. Oh, Joe.
We're going to get on to the show. Oh, Joe.
I'm going to get into the show. You're coming out with hot fire already.
Speaker 4
Give me that. Come on, now.
Come on. Don't do me like that.
Give me that one more time. I got to write that down.
I'm telling you, that transparency line was unbelievable.
Speaker 4
Truth. It's telling you, you ask me a question.
I tell you the truth. Transparency is telling you something you didn't even ask me.
I'm being transparent. You don't even even know.
Speaker 4
See, if I you ask, if you tell me, say, what's channel, blah, blah, blah, so forth and so on. Yeah, this is what I did.
But let me tell you something else that you didn't know.
Speaker 4 That's being transparent. And there's a difference between the two.
Speaker 4 And so I think him, even before
Speaker 4
they found out, he was like, look, guys, I've had contact. There's a possibility I could be leaving you guys and going somewhere else.
And I think that plays a large part. That's what transparency is.
Speaker 4 People say transparent. I want you to be transparent.
Speaker 4 Now I think that's a good definition of good understanding is telling someone something they didn't even ask. Now you're being transparent.
Speaker 4 And so I think this definitely helped. But like you said, Ocho, in a game of this magnitude, when one shot is, and that's one shining moment.
Speaker 4
I just got to be better than you for today. If I got to be better, I ain't got to be a better team.
I just got to be better than you yeah today two hours that's it
Speaker 4 that's it and uh they were but i i think that's and i think that's why people love march magic so much ojo because realistically
Speaker 4 anything can happen on that thursday friday saturday sunday
Speaker 4 And people like that because the underdog like, man, my team really got a chance to be the Duke, to beat a North Carolina, to be the Glemson, to beat a UCLA or one of these blue blood programs, Kentucky, Kansas.
Speaker 4
My team, team, you could, man, you know what? My team did that. My team really truly have the chance to do that.
And listen, so
Speaker 4 there's a reason they call it March. And the last word is madness
Speaker 4 because ain't no telling what's going to happen, regardless of seating, regardless of the conference, regardless of how small your program may be.
Speaker 4 All it takes is what team is showing up that day
Speaker 4 for two hours.
Speaker 4
A team gets a a lot. Oh, Joe, I think for me, a team gets hot.
And you know, team get hot.
Speaker 4 They make 10 Lem 12 threes in a college.
Speaker 4
That's huge. They go on a run, all of a sudden, they can't miss.
We've seen it before. We've seen Villanova pull the upset over Georgetown.
We've seen NC State take down
Speaker 4 five slammer jammer in 1984.
Speaker 4 No, that was 83, 83, Excuse me. 83, the Wolfpack took him down.
Speaker 4 Because in 84,
Speaker 4
Georgetown won. Georgetown beat Houston that year.
Because that was the year Akeem ended up turning pro. But,
Speaker 4 yeah.
Speaker 4
Oh, got another one, Ocho. Drake is headed to the second round.
The Bulldogs just upset.
Speaker 4 Missouri, 67.57.
Speaker 4
That's a number 11, took down a number six. Earlier, we had a number 12 took down a number five.
I think the thing is we're waiting for that. We're waiting for that 116, 215, 314.
Speaker 4 Because like the in the note said earlier, 47 times of 12 is taking down number five. So we've gotten kind of like,
Speaker 4 we expect 112 to take down a five seed. In the first round, I mean, we're going to the thing.
Speaker 4 I mean, so when we get this, even though it is an upset because you're ranked five, the other team is ranked 12, 12 uh 11 versus a six we're expecting this now because we've seen it happen so much over the years so we're not we're not nearly as shocked but now when we get a 116 we get a good get a 215 we get a 314 now you're like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa what's really going on what's really going on but through upsets early i wonder how many perfect brackets that we still have i honestly honestly you would have to make multiple brackets make multiple brackets with multiple scenarios for for your bracket to be right there's no way in hell people are guessing the bracket on one shot with some of the upsets and getting it right because if you are and if you're able to do it and you out there and your bracket is still intact today you need to give me the numbers to make it millions in the lotto and pick and pick five
Speaker 4 please please do
Speaker 4 I mean,
Speaker 4 the first round is really not that hard because I think Warren Buffett had a thing that if you compete a perfect bracket and pick the uh national champ you'll get a billion dollars but that ain't gonna happen
Speaker 4 you've got a better chance of winning the lottery than picking the perfect bracket all the way through and getting the national champion right
Speaker 4 you got a better chance i mean think about it ojo every single round from 64 to 32 to 16 to 8 to 4 listen
Speaker 4 and
Speaker 4 you get that right that ain't nothing but god's grace and favor that ain't nothing but that well you better let god pick it then you better not pick it you better let him pick it you better let him fill out your
Speaker 4 you better let him feel fill out your uh uh uh uh your bracket oh cho the number eight gonzaga
Speaker 4 the zags uh beat number nine georgia bulldogs 89-68.
Speaker 4 the zags look to be drastically underseated as the number eight made easy work over the georgia bulldogs gonzaga has now played 26 straight nca tournament games georgia was playing for the first time since 2015.
Speaker 4
one team looked very, very comfortable on this stage. The other team did not.
The Jag jumped out to a 27-3 lead and never looked back.
Speaker 4 Georgia had 13 turnovers, shot just five of 26 from the three, including back-to-back air balls at one point in the first half. They trailed by 25 points on multiple occasions.
Speaker 4 Look, I think, didn't Gadzaka just play for the national championship a couple of years ago? And, you know, they have really good players. They had Jalen Suggs come out of there, Timmy, Chet Hongren.
Speaker 4 So they've had Rui Hachimura. They've had some guys, some really good players come out of Gunzaga.
Speaker 4 So
Speaker 4 I'm not surprised.
Speaker 4 I definitely would, even though they were a higher seed,
Speaker 4
I would have picked the Zags to beat the Bulldogs. Absolutely.
I mean, you've been there that many times.
Speaker 4 I don't think anybody's surprised that. the Zags.
Speaker 4 Probably the only people
Speaker 4 that picked them were Bulldog fans.
Speaker 4 On Saturday, get ready to see how good the zags are they'll try to beat the top-seeded houston cougars to make the 10th hey great now that's gonna be a good one now that's gonna be a good one got
Speaker 4 we got to be able to have that pressure
Speaker 4 drew temme
Speaker 4 that's who
Speaker 4 uh
Speaker 4 dallas what what what
Speaker 4 Number 10, Arkansas, Razorbacks took down the number seven, Kansas Jayhawks, 79-72 in a game of runs between two championship coaches.
Speaker 4 7th seed Kansas escaped the win with eight ties and 10 different lead changes.
Speaker 4 The number 10 Arkansas Razorback used a 7-0 run to give Coach John Calipari a 72, 79, 672 victory over the Jayhawks and Bill Self in the Providence, Rhode Island.
Speaker 4 What'd you think? I mean, Coach KOF,
Speaker 4 he got the criticisms became a little bit unbearable because I hold up, bro.
Speaker 4 Every year, think about all the first-round draft picks that you've had, all the number one overall draft picks that you've had. And you've only got one national championship to show.
Speaker 4
And Kentucky is about championships. Coach Ruff, Tubby Smith, Rick Petino, even Callum Stack one, but you got number one overall pick Anthony Davis.
You got Carl Anthony Towns. You got Boogie Cousin.
Speaker 4
You got number all John Wall. You got Shea Gilgit.
You got Tyler Hero. You got Jamal Murray.
You got Devin Booker. You got the Vanderbilt.
Come on, Carl.
Speaker 4 Listen, it's been a farm system for them. It's been a a farm system for them.
Speaker 4 In and out with number one picks, some of the greatest, not only to play collegiate football, but some of the greatest also in the NBA. But also, Uncle, you got to think about it.
Speaker 4 Think about who they were losing to.
Speaker 4
They weren't losing to no scrub. They're also losing to other players that play well collectively as a group.
Now,
Speaker 4 we naming one-offs of great players that happen to be on the team, but the team that they lost to. But you do realize that John Wall and Boogie Cousin was on the team.
Speaker 4 Oh, yeah, they was on the same team. But
Speaker 4 that's the key word that you heard me say. the team that they lost to played together collectively as a group much better than him they've been lost at muster so
Speaker 4 they are so the teams that's beating them are sophomores juniors and seniors sprinkled in where they're just one and done and look learn try to learn how to play together because
Speaker 4 all these guys murder was the guy
Speaker 4
Book was the guy. Hero was the guy.
All these guys were the guy.
Speaker 4 Now you're asking all these five stars to come together and say, okay, bro, for the common good hey this is what we need it's hard it's really hard because everybody has the same ambition is to go play in the nba but in order to get there you're going to have to have sacrifices and it's hard it's i mean you look at the teams that win they got juniors and seniors sprinkled in there look at yukon
Speaker 4 you got that they're not as they're not as is as is as deep as far as as far as juniors and seniors and they're struggling they'll obviously they don't have the same talent you know you lose klingon and you lose uh castle you lose some of these other guys and so you're going to struggle.
Speaker 4 But
Speaker 4
Coach Cowell pulled it, Coach Cow got it done in Arkansas's first win in the tournament as head coach of Arkansas. We know he was at a lot of different places.
Where was he at UMass?
Speaker 4 He ended up going to
Speaker 4
the NBA. Then he goes to Memphis.
Then he goes to Kentucky. Stayed in Kentucky for a number of years.
He did win a national championship.
Speaker 4
But he moves on and he gets his win there. The number one seeds, Auburn and Houston, both take care of business.
Auburn beat Alabama State 83-63.
Speaker 4 Auburn cruised behind 23 points from Miles Kelly and 14 points, 11 rebound from Player of the Year candidate Johnny Brome.
Speaker 4 Setting up Saturday date with the number nine, Creighton, Houston will play SIU Edwardsville. Oh, they beat SIU Edwardsville 78-40.
Speaker 4 Kevin Sampson was able to rest this starter for much of the second half after building a 28-point lead in the first half. No starter played more than 23 minutes.
Speaker 4 Houston has been haunted by injuries in the MCA tournament the last three years, but it cruised into the second round with his entire rotation intact.
Speaker 4 So, no surprise. I mean, I think some people, a lot of people probably got Houston going all the way through, at least advancing to the Elite Eight, if not the final four.
Speaker 4 Now, listen, who did you say Houston has coming up? They played Gazago on Saturday, right?
Speaker 4 Yes. Okay.
Speaker 4 I don't think I'm.
Speaker 4 Listen, I ain't no telling what's gonna happen
Speaker 4 It is one day, but Houston is good Houston is very very good. But again,
Speaker 4 it's called March Madness for a reason
