[00:00:00] Speaker A: Y'all, y'all talking reckless right now. These guys are talking about Creighton as a mid major. Even though they in the big. Even though in the Big east they're crazy. The mid major. [00:00:12] Speaker B: How many? So I thought it used to be the power fives. How many power conferences there now? [00:00:16] Speaker A: There's still five. Well, yeah, it's five. [00:00:21] Speaker C: ACC, everything's jumbled around now. [00:00:23] Speaker A: So ACC, the SEC, the big E's, big 10 and big 12. Five. It used to be six with the PAC 10, but it's five. And Gonzaga is a mid major. No matter how dominant. They just dominate the mid major. Dominant. [00:00:41] Speaker B: But they schedule, they got better schedule than a lot of. A lot of Big east teams and. [00:00:45] Speaker A: Acc, but they got. They gotta play a better schedule because they, when they go on conference, they playing low major. I mean mid major teams. So out of conference they want to have a little strength to their schedule and they just got to win those games. Bar is another one. They a mid major team. [00:00:59] Speaker B: I mean, I know St. Mary's a mid major. [00:01:00] Speaker C: Okay, so the, the official, the official definition of mid major college is a Division 1 school. That's not the part of the Power 5. [00:01:09] Speaker A: I told you, it's about the conference. Hey, when I tell you something, listen. [00:01:13] Speaker B: Hey, he wanted to record so fast. Like you write about something. [00:01:16] Speaker A: Nick. [00:01:16] Speaker B: That's, that's. [00:01:17] Speaker A: Listen. [00:01:18] Speaker C: Disco. But no, here's a, here's a twist. Oh, never mind. Because Biggie said. Yep. Pac 12 is gone. [00:01:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:24] Speaker C: So you're sliding Big east into Power 5 now? [00:01:26] Speaker A: Yes. Wait, biggies wasn't a part of the power five before. [00:01:29] Speaker B: I feel like they. I was gonna say, remember Yukon? They all them, they left. They went to the AAC or whatever. So then the biggies couldn't have been. Was that a power five then I'm asking. [00:01:40] Speaker C: No, you did Yukon change to a. [00:01:42] Speaker B: Mid major when they went to the aac? [00:01:44] Speaker C: That's letter of the law. [00:01:45] Speaker B: Got questions. We got questions and you don't have. [00:01:47] Speaker A: Well, who was in the game? [00:01:49] Speaker B: You don't have the answers. Who was in the aac? You don't have the answers. [00:01:53] Speaker A: Let me tell you, I might got some answers for you with Yukon. Was it, Was it all the teams? [00:01:57] Speaker B: I'm just asking questions. You don't want to say. You just ask. I'm asking you. I can't tell you not. I thought you had the information. That's all I gave you. [00:02:04] Speaker A: Good. [00:02:05] Speaker B: Don't got it. [00:02:06] Speaker A: My first information was correct. [00:02:07] Speaker B: Aac. I. I can't recall every team Cincinnati Pull it up, Nick. [00:02:11] Speaker A: Wait. Yukon was not in the aac. They was in the A. American is in it. No, you're looking at the wrong conference, Nick. You're looking at American. [00:02:19] Speaker B: No, it's not American, but it was called, like, American. [00:02:21] Speaker A: It's aac. [00:02:21] Speaker C: It's called American. [00:02:22] Speaker A: No, no, no. [00:02:23] Speaker B: I don't remember. I don't remember what the. What the. [00:02:26] Speaker A: I'll tell you. Put up. I gotta take you boys to school. This is good, though. [00:02:31] Speaker B: I'm gonna take you. [00:02:31] Speaker C: We're gonna figure this out, so. [00:02:33] Speaker A: Well, I'm already right. [00:02:34] Speaker C: The Huskies were founding members of the Big East Conference in 79 and remained in that conference when it reorganized as the American athletic conference in 2013. So it was in the America. [00:02:46] Speaker A: So they called the Big Easter American. Okay, so. So it was still. [00:02:53] Speaker B: At that time, was it? [00:02:54] Speaker A: Just what you said before that I didn't know the Big east wasn't a Power 5 school when we was playing. It wasn' no, no, no, no, no. [00:03:01] Speaker C: It was when we were there, but then when it dissolved, it wasn't. I. I don't think the term Power 5 existed when we were playing. [00:03:07] Speaker A: Well, no, because it was six. Because power five, hey, 10 didn't become. [00:03:13] Speaker C: Relevant until, like, college football and the playoffs and everything. [00:03:16] Speaker B: They used to just consider high major, mid major, low measure. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:03:20] Speaker B: That's all it was. I'm going to a Power 5. You going to high major? Going to high major. [00:03:25] Speaker C: School on high major. [00:03:26] Speaker A: Yeah, true. Because it was sitting with six homes. [00:03:28] Speaker B: That used to be stunned right there. [00:03:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm going high major because they did. They had high, mid and low. [00:03:35] Speaker B: They ain't got low. [00:03:36] Speaker A: They don't got low no more. [00:03:37] Speaker B: It's just mid majors and high majors, right? [00:03:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:40] Speaker B: I mean, with the nil, they better not be low major no more. Just come with the bag with your sponsors. Y'all doing. You come with 750, you can get by anybody you want. [00:03:49] Speaker A: You can get. You can get whoever you want. [00:03:51] Speaker C: You guys see that? Steph Curry is going to be the GM of Davidson. [00:03:54] Speaker A: I seen that. Yeah, seen that. [00:03:57] Speaker C: That's cool. That's. That's gonna start a trend. I bet you everybody's. [00:04:00] Speaker B: You think you're gonna get some big recruits in there. [00:04:02] Speaker A: Well, he said something about $10 million. I don't know exactly what it is. [00:04:05] Speaker B: And that's. And that's considered mid major, too. Davidson, for sure. [00:04:08] Speaker C: And they play a lot of. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Yeah, Atlanta 10. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah, they in the. Oh, they in Atlantic 10. [00:04:12] Speaker A: Yeah. My team. My. My team was in Atlantic 10. But I hold off on it. I'm not going to give you this. [00:04:17] Speaker B: Your team is in the Atlantic. Team who? [00:04:19] Speaker A: The Mid major. That. I think that could make some noise. That's crazy. Auburn only went to three. I mean, Augusta's not, but I think so. M lost twice in one week and went from number one to number three. I thought they was going to at least go to foul. [00:04:33] Speaker C: Yeah, they've been playing well, too. Too well this season. And SEC is too good. [00:04:38] Speaker A: GU is right. Even when I went back and listened to it, St. John's not getting a one seed. They can't get a one seed. Man. [00:04:44] Speaker B: I don't know why you doubted me anyways. Why would you doubt me? I know the game. I know what's going on. [00:04:51] Speaker A: I know everything. [00:04:53] Speaker B: Listen, all y'all, just listen to me. [00:04:56] Speaker A: Take notes. [00:04:57] Speaker D: Listen, take notes. [00:04:58] Speaker B: My A. When I get my four in, that's number one Siege. Hey, just relax. Don't be upset. Just know that I picked that out. Make sure we clip that and put it back on. [00:05:06] Speaker C: Oh, we have it clipped. [00:05:08] Speaker D: We will. [00:05:09] Speaker B: Where the editing team at? I got. Oh, yeah, Naga sends. Email me a second. Sorry, hold on. Give me one second. I'm be done right now. [00:05:14] Speaker A: But, dude, I mean, that's. I mean, that's not. That's not a hard choice, though. [00:05:19] Speaker B: What do you mean? It's a bunch of teams that could have got it over them. Tennessee could have hopped in there. Florida could have hopped in there. I had a specific team. [00:05:26] Speaker A: Still could get in there. [00:05:27] Speaker B: I'm just saying, though. So don't. What? Houston. Y'all was like, oh, no. [00:05:31] Speaker D: What? [00:05:31] Speaker B: Houston's got a safe pick. No, no, no. Hate on me. [00:05:36] Speaker A: Houston's safe pick because they're going to win that conference. [00:05:38] Speaker C: Yeah, they can win Big 12, easy. [00:05:40] Speaker A: Yeah, Duke. I mean, they're gonna be the overall number one seed Auburn today to look stuff up. [00:05:46] Speaker B: So y'all can't be on that bull, bro. I got my computer on the side now. Now I'm locked in. Yeah, Got the setup now. Let me get the rankings pulled up just in case y'all try to talk crazy. Yeah, we look here. There we go. Let's get it. [00:06:04] Speaker C: Welcome, everybody. March 10th. Another episode of the Pit Legends Podcast. Joined today by my fellow Pit legends, Jermaine Dixon, Gary McGee and Lavance Fields. It's the time we've all been waiting for. Best time in college basketball. We got the tournament starting conference tournament starting selection show a week away. All our predictions, all our arguments, all our intense battles are going to start coming to fruition. We're going to see who really knows basketball, knows the game. We're also going to sprinkle in a couple personal stories, but let's start today how we start each episode. Pitt coming off a win on Senior Night on Saturday, again, not really an impressive opponent, Boston College, but they won handedly. Do you think what they showed on Saturday, they can carry that momentum into the ACC tournament? They play tomorrow, 2pm against Notre Dame. So do you think that's enough to kind of get a spark flowing? [00:06:59] Speaker A: I think they had a good showing against Boston College. Boston College, not a great team. They did have a lineup adjustment with starting Cummings. I don't know if that's a thing that they're going to do forward or if that was just a matchup thing against Foster College. And I know Notre Dame, they're pretty big, so I don't know if we can go with that lineup. But Brandon played well. He shot the ball well. He was another playmaker. Jalen Lowe played good. They played well. But Boston College, like you said, they're not that good. But you can always see some positive and finishing your regular season off with a win. You will hope that they can take that momentum into Tuesday, tomorrow at 2pm like they out. They rebounded the ball well against Boston College. They play good defense. Can they keep this trend up? I hope so. Was it the lineup change? [00:08:03] Speaker B: Maybe. [00:08:03] Speaker A: I don't know. I think we got a pretty good draw on the side. We on like the road to the championship game is smoother with the seeding we got. [00:08:12] Speaker B: So, I mean, for me, I mean, it was. I'm glad the guys got a win on Senior Night. That's. That's important. That's important to get that, that win on Senior Night, you know what I'm saying? The seniors going out with a win at home in front of the zoo. That's smooth. Looking forward to looking into the tournament. Like you said, the team they played was really awful. We want to be real about it. Not a good team, but it's definitely some take the momentum off a win. Any, any win is good for you. Like you said, man, they rebounded the ball well, which is, you know what I'm saying, a cipher. Sore eyes for us because we usually haven't been rebounding that well. We are rebounding them. We took care of the ball like you said. JLo distributed the ball well. 10 assists going into the tournament. Just. I just feel like they just want to. Like I said, Notre Dame, they played them well. I mean, they played them a good game. They had a chance. They made some mistakes in the second half to get down and fought back to give themselves a chance, but we end up losing. I think we can beat them for sure. Like you said, just starts with one game at a time. That's the main thing is trying to beat Notre Dame tomorrow and then, you know, letting the chips fall where they may. It's just going to be a game to game basis thing, you know what I'm saying? Just trying to get some. Trying to get a rhythm. We got to try to get a rhythm, like take this win, build on to the next one, Try to be Notre Dame, you know, take it a half at a time. That's all we can do. You know what I'm saying? Our backs are against the wall. We gotta try to get it down, try to get it done. Excuse me. [00:09:31] Speaker A: I was talking to Gil. I started to ask Gil, I started to ask Gail, how's the atmosphere. I started, but, you know, I kind of wanted to leave him alone. I should. I should have, though, just. Just to get a fail. Because I know we was going to talk today, but I also tried to still always go off of his vibes. And he was. He was. He was calm, he was cool. This guy shot Brooklyn was good, man. [00:09:54] Speaker B: Finy, finy, finy. [00:09:56] Speaker D: I'm just here so I don't get fine. [00:10:00] Speaker C: We don't get fine. [00:10:02] Speaker A: I say he's a wild card. You never know what you're gonna give them boys from New York. No, but I told you, Gil, he gave off good energy. I talked to him before. Some of them losses, before they play, some of them losses. And I can see going into those games, I can see he was a little. He was a little rattled. [00:10:20] Speaker D: He. [00:10:20] Speaker A: He didn't like the energy sometimes. Today he seemed cool. Hopefully. Hopefully that was a good sign. [00:10:26] Speaker C: So there's only two guys on the Pit Legends podcast right now that have actually won a postseason tournament, Big east tournament, 17 years ago, 2008. Crazy. Crazy to think, but talk about, maybe talk about the mindset going into a tournament. How do you win? How do you come in? I know at the time we were probably a bubble team. What was the mindset of a team? You know, you're not guaranteed to be in a tournament, to go in and actually believe you can win and actually put it together. Not just believe it, but execute it. What were some of the things going into it? Maybe some of the storylines we haven't heard about going into the tournament. And did you believe you could pull it off before you went into the tournament for us? [00:11:05] Speaker D: I think so, yeah. Because two years prior, we was able to make it to the Big east championship game. Unfortunately, we lost my freshman and sophomore year. So going into the Big east my junior year, it was no different than the first two seasons. I felt like we had enough. We had a bunch of kids that was from New York, so we all used to be pumped up about going back home, getting to play in the Garden, obviously more of our family being able to come see us, because it's right there at the Garden. So the New York guys on the team used to be pumped up as well as other guys, because playing in the Garden is a special thing. So having a night, I mean, opportunity to play in New York, and if you win, continuing on night after night was special. So we was the first team, along with Syracuse, to make it to the championship and win four games. I think it was back to back with Syracuse, obviously beat us. And then that following year we was able to do the same thing Syracuse did. So, I mean, we had the confidence because we've been in the championship two years prior. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Uh, yeah. I mean, for me, I was just, you know, saying a spectator for that. But I was there and just the, you know, the atmosphere on the team was just, you know, the Vance, all the older heads, the older guys was just telling us, survive in the Vance, it's one. One game at a time, got to come out there, focus, attention to detail. And the scouts, I mean, guys were just ready to play. Like, a lot of guys are from New York, so they definitely was excited to play at home. It was just a great atmosphere, you know, trying to get it done, trying to win the champ, trying to win a championship and getting to that goal of hats and T shirts, you know what I'm saying? That's the main thing that we was looking forward to. And like you said, we might have been a bubble, borderline, I think we were in. But it was definitely. We knew we needed at least winning a couple games to make sure to solidify we was in the tournament. So it was definitely a great experience winning that championship. [00:12:47] Speaker A: I was going. I was. My bad, Nick. I was going to ask all that. Was it. Was it because y'all needed them wins to possibly get into the NCAA Tournament, that y'all went in there with a different mindset? Because. Well, no, because the year before Levance, y'all went to the championship. [00:13:01] Speaker D: Previous two years, we went to the championship, so we just was. I think we just was up for the Garden like, I mean, like Gary said, we could have possibly been on a bubble. So. Yeah, of course we was. We didn't want to not make the tournament, but we had previous success there the two years, so I figured we'd be fine going in there our junior year and we were. We played Georgetown again and just time we was able to come out on top. [00:13:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember that. That run, it was pretty. Pretty magical. A lot of players kind of stand out to me on who kind of gets the credit for who played the best and who surprised you the best. But what. Who surprised you the best and stepped up to kind of help you guys win. Kind of gave some extraordinary efforts to, you know, help you guys dig deep when you guys needed it most. [00:13:44] Speaker D: Well, we know Gary wasn't. So we outside of our Big three, we was called in college. Myself, dejuan, Sam, I would say Gil stepped up the most. I mean, it was a total team effort. But Gil, that year in the Big east tournament was a source of energy. Coming off the bench gave us a lot of offense and defensive possessions that was high quality. So Gilbert was the guy. I think that's when he became like our six man, our mainstay. Coming off the bench first. I would say what he brung off the. Off the bench into the team in that tournament was definitely a reason why we were able to be the biggest champions that year. [00:14:25] Speaker A: Yeah, get on let. Get on Let you forget about his joy. Anyway, so he played. [00:14:30] Speaker B: Hey, he played. He played great. He played great in the tournament though. You know, he did play shortened the rotation, you know what I'm saying? Not that I was in it or anything, but he shortened even more. So I never forget the story we. I think it was before we played Louisville. He used to. Anytime he had talked about like the scout, he'd say the players was gonna play. He said my name. And then the next practice I got into it with him. I got. It's crazy that I got into it with him. I ain't seen the floor the whole tournament. Oh my God. You really want to get out there. I wanted that smoke. I wanted that smoke. I wanted that smoke. But yeah, so. But I mean it was. [00:15:04] Speaker D: It was. [00:15:05] Speaker B: It was good though. It's still a great experience though, you know what I'm saying? Watching the guys get down getting hats and T shirt. I got my ring upstairs. So who did. [00:15:13] Speaker A: You know what's crazy about that? He never brings it up. I lost Brad ring. Well, it wasn't my fault. I mean, he got into it with Shell and She kicked him out the crib. So he put his stuff in my trunk and I had drove back to Baltimore with it. I forgot. And people don't lost that. [00:15:37] Speaker C: Somebody took it. [00:15:38] Speaker A: Hey, who did y'all. Who did y'all beat before? Who did y'all play in the tournament? [00:15:43] Speaker D: Cincinnati. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Cincinnati? [00:15:44] Speaker A: Yep. [00:15:45] Speaker B: Louisville. Marquette, Georgetown. [00:15:47] Speaker A: Georgetown. [00:15:49] Speaker D: My son G, remember, he was there. You remember there, front row. [00:15:56] Speaker B: That experience helped me get a Big east championship regular season. You know, just being around that win, that winning atmosphere, you know what I'm saying? [00:16:03] Speaker C: One side of the spectrum, there's winners. And then the next years. I don't know how we couldn't put it together. What happened the following years. I remember losing to West Virginia. I think the next year was it. Was it just all the success get to your head? I think because we were cursed in the bees tournament after that. What are some. What happened? [00:16:22] Speaker A: Well, why, Nick? I told you, Leslie. But since you brought it up that year, my junior year, I think that was the first time they did the double buy. I don't know if that play had anything to do with it because if I'm not mistaken, we went there. We went there early. Right? [00:16:42] Speaker B: That's what that was. Okay, so is there extra days without doing. [00:16:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Eating a lot of gyro. [00:16:48] Speaker B: My first New York trip, too. I was. [00:16:50] Speaker C: I was hyped. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Ola go. [00:16:52] Speaker A: I mean, doing things we weren't supposed to be doing. I was out enjoying New York City for a second. So I don't know if that played a part in it, but y'all could. Y'all could speak more to it than me. I ain't never do nothing. [00:17:09] Speaker D: It was ready, man. It was ready season. So, yeah, we use. Definitely overlooking them. They was young. I mean, I know I wasn't paying them. I was like, man, we got this. We in the Garden, and this is what we do. Next thing I know, we was down double digits, Tom running out. So one of them situations, just maybe a little too on our high horse, man. We ain't come out aggressive, ready enough like we should have. I mean, when you look back, the game was closed, but it wasn't our typical fashion how we. We played credit to them. [00:17:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:44] Speaker D: Yeah, man. [00:17:46] Speaker A: The bad. The bad thing about that is that that spilled over into the NCAA tournament. We was. We beat everybody by even the first game. [00:17:58] Speaker B: We was close to. Yeah. Losing to the 16. We was close to being history on. On the down to the wy. [00:18:05] Speaker A: Oklahoma State. [00:18:07] Speaker B: I mean, they was. They was solid. [00:18:09] Speaker A: But come on, they would. [00:18:10] Speaker D: Yeah, listen, you Gotta score the ball in the tournament. After a while, man, you gotta score. There's gonna be games like that. I don't know what we was doing out there. We was just finding ways to win. I don't care how we won, we win. That's what you got to do in the tournament. I don't care what seeds you playing, how much you post to beat the bar. Just win the game. One point don't matter. Win the game. [00:18:34] Speaker A: That's what we said, man. That's all we could say, which we won. [00:18:39] Speaker D: One more, two more. [00:18:43] Speaker C: Yeah, you're right. [00:18:44] Speaker A: At least one more. [00:18:46] Speaker C: It was a big, big, big weekend. And other games. College basketball. Auburn saw himself with a two game losing streak. Losing back to back games. Still somehow ranked number three in the country. Do you think maybe this is a sign of slippage? You think they fall off or do you think there's still a force to be reckoned with? [00:19:06] Speaker B: I think it was good for them to lose those games. Not they wanted to win of course, but just to know that they're not invincible to be ready for win or go home time. The loss to Alabama, last second, just how they won the first game. So it's kind of like just getting that same thing right back at them. Still a good team. I think they're still going to be riding a mix of things. Going to be one of the number one seeds if not the overall number one. Depends on how they doing the SEC tournament. You know, it's a long season. I think they're 27 3. I believe their record. Not sure completely, but something like that. They've been having a great season in the best conference. Probably going to get 12, 11 or 12 teams in the tournament. I think that is. It's not a great. I mean it's not great for them to lose, but I think it's good for the team just to. Just to fill that loss and just to, you know, take that into the tournament. You know, try to use it to their advantage. [00:19:57] Speaker A: Yeah, gee, I mean one loss. Yeah, I could see that. Two losses, I mean that's. That just shows some signs of something like that. Texas A and M, we didn't talk about it beforehand. I thought they was going to blow them out. I was like, texas A and M can't score. I mean they a decent defensive team but they shouldn't be able to hang with Auburn. And they controlled that game the whole time. [00:20:22] Speaker B: Oh, my bad. [00:20:23] Speaker A: Why not? [00:20:23] Speaker B: What they rate, What Texas A rank are they ranked? [00:20:26] Speaker A: They top 25. [00:20:27] Speaker B: I was just checking. You make it sound like there was just some scrubs they was playing. [00:20:30] Speaker C: They're fifth in the computer. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Back to back. That's tough. [00:20:37] Speaker A: No, no, no. They're not top 10. They're not top 10. [00:20:40] Speaker B: What's a M top 15? What is it? [00:20:41] Speaker A: They might be. They top 25. I don't think they top 10. [00:20:45] Speaker B: They was top 10. My bad. [00:20:47] Speaker A: I don't think they're top 10. But they don't score at a high clip. They're good. They're good defensive team. I just thought Auburn was way better than them. And I thought they were going to go. And I think in those type of games you want to show that. So I was like, all right. Well, they, you know, they get to. They get to mix it up with Alabama, which I thought would be a tough game, but, you know, I thought they would win that game just because they were playing at home. And Broom. [00:21:15] Speaker B: He. [00:21:15] Speaker A: He dominated. I mean, I know it was an overtime game. High scoring. High scoring game. But they. Defensively, I don't. They. They are. Let me actually not talk reckless. Alvin's good. Let me not say that. Yeah, I mean, not. Let me not see nothing crazy. Album's good. I was about to say from your heart, man. [00:21:36] Speaker B: Get it off your chest. [00:21:37] Speaker A: That is my heart. No, that is my heart. I was about to say something crazy. [00:21:40] Speaker B: Off your chest, dog. [00:21:41] Speaker A: I was about to have a wild take and it's not even. [00:21:45] Speaker B: You already had a bunch of wild takes. Just add to the list, bro. [00:21:48] Speaker A: What other wild take? I had another wild take. That was great. Arvin. Arvin's gonna be fine. Arvin's gonna be fine. But two. Two losses going into the. Into March. I mean, it's not a good thing. I'll just say that. But to say anything else, you could be right. It could just be they had a lot of. Or whatever like they were when they were celebrating when Alabama. Who Alabama lost to Florida. They was on the bus celebrating like, yeah, we already won. We already won the regular season. So maybe, hey, maybe they did go into, like, we got this. Anyway, it don't matter. And there will be a different team in the tournament. We'll see. We'll see. [00:22:26] Speaker C: But sticking with sec, I don't know what the media. The media is really trying to squeeze Coach Cal in Arkansas into this tournament. Do we feel like they're maybe getting a little biased coverage in that the media wants them to get into the tournament. Their resume doesn't really stack up with the rest of the teams and other conferences in the tournament. I Know the SEC is stronger this year, but what do you guys think about the Arkansas deserving to be in the tournament? [00:22:51] Speaker D: I don't think they got enough quality wins yet. I mean, it's too late in the season. They got to do something in the tournament and they conference tournament, hopefully. I think maybe three games. [00:23:00] Speaker C: You don't think they have to win it all? [00:23:01] Speaker D: They get in the chip. I think they'll give Khaled their slide calling. I think three games get to the chip. Or is it two games? They need to get to the chip. Whatever it is to get to the chip. That's. I think that'll be enough to get them in. I don't think they have to win it all. And I don't. I don't. Me personally, I seen them maybe twice. It was nothing special. I mean, at the time when I saw them, they upset Kentucky and they wasn't really playing that well, as good as a team. So I haven't really seen Arkansas that much, especially since Boogie Flynn went down. You know, he's from New York, respectfully. So I haven't tuned in as much by the season and the injury. [00:23:36] Speaker B: But I'm just over here looking at their schedule, who they played, they beat. They got some quality wins. But be Mississippi State, Missouri, like you said, Kentucky early in the season. Michigan. So that's three Quad one, four Quad one wins. Yeah, four Quad one wins. Best. Best conference in the nation, I think. I mean, I think they gonna be in. I mean, I just. I mean, just because of how good the. The conference is this year. So I think that's the reason. But I understand why people say that. But they're right now sitting in ninth place in the conference at 19 and 12. [00:24:13] Speaker D: Yeah, they get to the chip they. [00:24:15] Speaker B: In, they still get to the tip. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. [00:24:22] Speaker A: They started the SEC off.05, losing. They lost. When they tough game. Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida, lsu. Shouldn't. I mean, they're good. Missouri lost. They beat Georgia, Oklahoma, I mean, lost Oklahoma. After that Kentucky win, they lost to Alabama, Texas A and M, Auburn. Every tough game they lost Missouri win. Then they just beat Mississippi State. I think they pushing just because it's Cal, but I, like Lee said, I think you get to the. If you get to the championship game, they definitely give them. They put them in. They put Arkansas in just because of their coach. So there's no reason that they should be first four in last four hours. Wherever Linardi got them at, they shouldn't be on that list. [00:25:07] Speaker B: I mean, I disagree with y'all because it's just the best conference in the nation. I know we talked about. We Talked about the 2011 Big East Conference getting. Getting 11 teams in. The last team was nine and nine. They got four teams at eight and 10. So it's. It's right there. So I'm telling you like I told y'all last time, out of those four team three, two or three of them. Two. Two. At least two of them are getting in at 8 and 10 in conference. I promise you, I can guarantee you clip this back. [00:25:34] Speaker A: I'm telling you, both of them losing the first round. They getting there. [00:25:37] Speaker B: What they're getting in, bro. They might get. Need to win one game. One game would be safe. You don't want to. You don't want. You don't want to really play like play with the. The selection committee like that. I'm. Hey, man, my Texas. Yeah, Texas probably done. [00:25:52] Speaker A: It's a coach. It's a coach thing. It's because it's Kyler Perry. [00:25:54] Speaker B: I can say the same thing about. [00:25:55] Speaker D: Another coach and another topic, bro. [00:25:59] Speaker B: I'm just saying. Talking about. [00:26:00] Speaker D: No, wait. Who. [00:26:03] Speaker C: Nothing, nothing, nothing out now. [00:26:06] Speaker B: My bad, my bad. [00:26:08] Speaker A: No, no, hold upon. I didn't say that. Okay. I'm g. Say ain't no way you talking about Yukon like they not 21. They 21 and 9. Crazy. [00:26:21] Speaker B: All three of these teams is. Look. All three of these teams look. Mississippi State, Georgia. Look at Yukon 20 and 11. [00:26:28] Speaker A: Go look at you. [00:26:30] Speaker B: Can you look at you. They're in the Big East. You make some like they playing in a great. [00:26:32] Speaker A: Can you look at you? [00:26:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:26:36] Speaker A: All right, I'll look them up. Is okay. Conference 22 and 9, 46 and 8. Conference G. It's not comparable. [00:26:44] Speaker B: It's okay. But you comparing the biggies to the. This. This biggies to this sec. That's what we compare. That's not. It's apples orange. [00:26:51] Speaker A: No, we talking about Yukon. No, no, we talking about Yukon in. [00:26:55] Speaker B: I. I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I know what we're saying. [00:27:02] Speaker D: He said they shouldn't even be in, bro. [00:27:04] Speaker B: No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I said they get. I said they getting in. Definitely gonna get in. [00:27:08] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:27:09] Speaker B: I definitely in there. That's because they coach merging the Big East. [00:27:12] Speaker D: You said because of their one wins. Don't let them off. [00:27:17] Speaker A: She's crazy. [00:27:19] Speaker B: He beat Baylor. I'm just looking at. I'm looking at his rank wins. My bad. I'm just trying to look at. I'm just trying. I'm trying to just see, you know, why you hate. All right, today, Marette at Marquette, at Creighton and at Marquette. [00:27:33] Speaker C: What's the Kim Palm say? [00:27:34] Speaker B: The what? [00:27:34] Speaker A: Yo, it's. This is not even a topic, bro. Like you can't. You kind of. [00:27:40] Speaker B: I didn't say. You made. Like I said they wasn't in. But you was talking about all they. You said they in because. [00:27:47] Speaker A: I said Arkansas is in because of that coach. You said we could say the same thing about another team. And you talking about. [00:27:53] Speaker D: Come on. [00:27:54] Speaker B: I'm not backfilling. I'm sitting on business. It is. I said, I said it is because they coach, they got. They got about the same amount of quality wins. What you just told me Marquette wasn't good. [00:28:08] Speaker A: I. I don't like Marquette. [00:28:09] Speaker B: Okay, then so who that be? I'm just. Let's go regardless. [00:28:13] Speaker A: They 22 and 9 and they're in the Power 5 conference. G, what are you saying? [00:28:17] Speaker B: So which conference is better? Just tell me that. [00:28:20] Speaker C: Let's go team by team. Who are we comparing? [00:28:21] Speaker A: Hold on, hold on. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Comparing? Arkansas and Yukon. Listen, who they played. [00:28:26] Speaker A: Listen, we got the better schedule. SEC is a better conference, Yukon has a higher conference, SEC is a better conference, but it's still a Power 5 conference. [00:28:35] Speaker B: The big E. Of course, I didn't say we. [00:28:37] Speaker A: We. [00:28:37] Speaker B: And at 22 and nine, we established that on the call. [00:28:40] Speaker A: And then 22 and nine and at 22 and nine with 14 wins in the power. In the power five conference only got. [00:28:47] Speaker B: 11 teams in the conference. I'm just saying. What are we talking about? Well, yeah, I don't know how many teams they go. How many teams making the conference from. How many teams are gonna make the tournament? Four. [00:28:59] Speaker A: One, two, three, four. Yeah, four, maybe five, four to 11. But what are you saying? I said the SEC is the best conference. [00:29:11] Speaker B: And that was the point. I'm saying about you saying it's just because. No, I said I'm saying it's because they got some wins in a good conference. They're 8 and 10. The best conference. I just told you went back in 2011. 9 and 9. The last team to get in. They in there. [00:29:26] Speaker A: You're crazy. But I'm gonna let you have that. I'm gonna let you have that. [00:29:31] Speaker C: I mean, we're talking ACC, SEC, all these high majors, Power 5 conferences. But March is all about the upsets. Cinderella stories. Who are some Cinderella teams? Some mid major teams from the non Power 5 conferences that got your guys's eye that you think could do some damage in March. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Yeah, Nick, let's leave this one alone. I told. I. I already told you. [00:30:03] Speaker C: We'Ll wait till selection. [00:30:05] Speaker A: But I already wait till next week. [00:30:07] Speaker B: Look at the straight rankings. And I said, you ain't had, I don't know no mid major team. Hey, Nick, don't be listening to the production calls, man. [00:30:25] Speaker C: I'm trying to get, bro. Hey, I gotta get some candid. [00:30:29] Speaker B: Try to get something candid, man. Some raw. [00:30:37] Speaker A: No, because G told us beforehand. He said, hey, I ain't got nothing. [00:30:40] Speaker B: For the mid major. [00:30:41] Speaker A: He said, you reaching on that main. So I said, all right, we. [00:30:46] Speaker C: We have. [00:30:47] Speaker A: We could do that. [00:30:48] Speaker B: But we can do that before the. [00:30:50] Speaker A: Before the tournament. [00:30:51] Speaker C: Yeah, we'll do that before the tournament next week. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Yeah, once the conference tournaments go, we can check them out. [00:30:55] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? [00:30:56] Speaker A: Yeah.

He help with the Olympics this. This summer, so he's ready to take that final step. [00:31:56] Speaker A: But picking Gonzaga, that's just nasty work. [00:32:07] Speaker B: My team wasn't prepared for this. I'm gonna be honest with you. I discussed it. I discussed it on a pre production call, but I guess people don't listen to me. [00:32:17] Speaker A: Nick said that we going with it. [00:32:20] Speaker C: All right, so I know last week we had our predictions. Who's going to win each Power 5 conference. There were some bold predictions. The seatings are set. Hermit starts tomorrow for all the power fives. Do everybody want to stick to their guns? Are we sticking to our guns? With your four picks?

They gonna pick them apart. Pick and roll like he did the first time. Pocket pass. [00:33:54] Speaker A: Ruckus will have to get through usc, Purdue, Michigan, and then possibly Maryland. Maybe Illinois, but I'm gonna say Maryland to get to the championship game. [00:34:04] Speaker B: You really. Who on Maryland side with that? Who got the one seed? [00:34:07] Speaker A: Maryland's on, huh? Say that again. [00:34:11] Speaker B: Michigan State. The 1 seed. [00:34:12] Speaker A: Michigan State. The 1 seed. Michigan state won. UCLA 4, Wisconsin, 5. They are the top. They are the top teams on that side. Then the other side is Maryland, Michigan, Purdue, Illinois. They're the top four on that side. Yeah, Maryland got this because Maryland, Iowa, Ohio State. [00:34:34] Speaker D: I mean, like, Ruckus, everybody. All right? Some people gonna knock each other off, and Ruckus gonna be there. [00:34:41] Speaker A: Well, regardless, they gonna have to if. Because Michigan got a double buy. Maryland got a double buy. [00:34:47] Speaker D: So, Ruckers, if Ruckus be down, that's where it's gonna get. And they gonna get. [00:34:54] Speaker A: All right, so they be Purdue. They gotta Michigan by then.

[00:40:17] Speaker B: He was mad because I got attack. I was hanging on the room. You think you're good? You think you're good now. [00:40:23] Speaker D: He was so. [00:40:24] Speaker B: Hey, the crazy part is I've seen the tech. Like on one of the miles. I'm like, that shouldn't even have been a tech. [00:40:29] Speaker A: I just. [00:40:29] Speaker B: I came off the room and I just looked at the dude I dunked on. It wasn't like I was staring him down. I ran back down. [00:40:34] Speaker A: What game is that? [00:40:35] Speaker B: We played against the pole. Big. I forgot his name. Big fellow. Seven footer. But yeah. Dixon addiction is fun. But yeah, man, we'll see. We'll see what goes on you know, in the tournament, man, it's. It all starts tomorrow. We'll see what happens. [00:40:50] Speaker A: What about the Big. What about the Big 12? [00:40:52] Speaker B: Houston. Houston don't see nobody else. [00:40:59] Speaker D: Yeah, they got my son, Pit. [00:41:01] Speaker B: What's his name? [00:41:02] Speaker D: I'm running with Federico. [00:41:04] Speaker C: Federico. [00:41:04] Speaker B: Oh, hey, Federico. [00:41:06] Speaker D: Could. [00:41:06] Speaker B: They could have used. I'm keeping real. [00:41:11] Speaker A: Texas Tech seed. They'll probably play Bella. [00:41:16] Speaker D: What? [00:41:16] Speaker A: TCU at tcu night. Nc. [00:41:18] Speaker D: They not scary. [00:41:19] Speaker C: They're scary. Watch. Watch and make the chip. [00:41:30] Speaker A: They opened up with Colorado. [00:41:32] Speaker B: I see a win. [00:41:33] Speaker C: Grind him out. [00:41:34] Speaker A: To get to the chip, they would have to be Houston. [00:41:36] Speaker B: Sorry, sorry. [00:41:37] Speaker C: 500 wins. [00:41:39] Speaker B: It's not happening. My prediction is going right. [00:41:41] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm going with Texas, too. [00:41:43] Speaker B: Gee. [00:41:43] Speaker A: What. [00:41:44] Speaker B: What you got to say, man? Get it off. What you gotta say? [00:41:46] Speaker A: I took. I took. [00:41:47] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:41:50] Speaker C: You said Caleb, love. [00:41:55] Speaker B: Kids. [00:41:56] Speaker A: No, it wasn't Kansas. Yeah, I think it was Kansas. They would play Kansas, too, because they got the double bar. So Kansas. When they play Kansas, they can win. Let me go, man. BYU A4C. Well, who else we hit SEC. [00:42:11] Speaker B: Who'd you go with? Me? [00:42:12] Speaker D: No, he took. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Oh, you took Auburn. [00:42:14] Speaker D: He took Alabama. [00:42:15] Speaker B: I took out. [00:42:15] Speaker C: That was a great prediction after this weekend, too. [00:42:18] Speaker B: Sometimes just. Hey, sometimes you got to sit back. Just listen to me. [00:42:23] Speaker A: We actually. We actually didn't do this conference. We didn't do that. [00:42:26] Speaker B: Sec. [00:42:26] Speaker A: No, we didn't do that because we started running off at the mouth when I went back. [00:42:30] Speaker B: Oh, hey, now that I think about it, are you right? We didn't do it. Yeah, I thought it was a consensus. I said that I hoped Alabama win because that helped them solidify the one seed. But now, after things happened this last weekend with Auburn losing, they got something to prove now. Two. Two L's in a row. [00:42:45] Speaker A: So you got Auburn. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Since I didn't pick him, I'm sticking with him. I didn't pick nobody. [00:42:49] Speaker D: I thought I'd pick Alabama, but that's what I'm saying. Last two games, Auburn's still gonna win it. [00:42:55] Speaker B: You know what? I'm taking Alabama. You're right. I got Alabama. I'm not picking the same flip flop. [00:43:02] Speaker C: You can only flip flop once, huh? You can only flip flop one. [00:43:09] Speaker B: You're right. I'm staying with Auburn. I'm lying. All right. [00:43:13] Speaker A: Big Ten. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Who? We had Big Ten. [00:43:15] Speaker A: Where we at? [00:43:15] Speaker B: Oh, we already said that. Doing Ruckers. [00:43:19] Speaker D: Acc. [00:43:20] Speaker B: What's acc? [00:43:21] Speaker A: I think Louisville's looking good, but Duke. Okay, I'm gonna. [00:43:27] Speaker B: I think I'm gonna go. [00:43:27] Speaker A: Kelsey. Got. He got. [00:43:30] Speaker B: I Think I'm gonna go with. [00:43:31] Speaker A: You've been doing. You've been doing too much. [00:43:35] Speaker B: Duke. Duke. I'm taking. Dude, me saying somebody else is just. That's just fake. It's not real. I'm just doing something. [00:43:41] Speaker A: Yeah, y'all like Cooper flag for Naismith player. [00:43:43] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:43:44] Speaker B: Wooden Reward. Winner. Unanimous. [00:43:46] Speaker A: Easy unanimous. Hands down. [00:43:48] Speaker D: I mean, Broom was in there, but now I think, yeah, it's easy. Broom had a little slippage. Yeah, it's easy. It's. [00:43:54] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like Broom will get some boats. It won't be unanimous, but hands down. [00:43:59] Speaker D: He showed up, son. We was having. We. We said we didn't know at first, but, you know, I think Gary was For sure. I mean, we knew we could play. We ain't. Listen. We ain't say he couldn't play. We was already evaluating what we thought because what they were saying about the NBA. But as far as college, it was clear from right from the beginning. So in third game, second time, I watched them, whatever. He was better than people. Like, he does everything at a efficient clip, like. And in college, for somebody to have the name and everybody follow him like they do. Like, we talked about plays within the system with Duke, he's let the rest of his teammates come along as he's continued to be the best. Leaves them in every category, like, come. [00:44:38] Speaker B: On, you playing like Brian and Bron and Cleveland. Every statistical category. [00:44:44] Speaker D: That's crazy. [00:44:46] Speaker B: That's crazy in college, bro. [00:44:48] Speaker D: Seriously, that's wild. [00:44:49] Speaker B: That's wild to do in college. [00:44:51] Speaker D: You can see he played a game the right way. So that's what happened. [00:44:57] Speaker A: He running through the acc. [00:44:58] Speaker B: They said he might go back to school. Charlotte win the lottery. [00:45:01] Speaker A: Yeah, they said. [00:45:01] Speaker B: They said that. [00:45:02] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:45:05] Speaker B: Pops is like. [00:45:05] Speaker D: Yeah, I think he was going back, man. They'd be tripping, man. [00:45:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:16] Speaker D: I wanted to go back. Okay. [00:45:18] Speaker B: Please. The only difference now, though. [00:45:24] Speaker D: That'S how. [00:45:24] Speaker B: He probably gets seven mil. [00:45:26] Speaker D: It's just like, the dream is your dream, bro. I think, like, it's just facts. Once it come like that. And if you supposed to be who they, you know, projected, it's like, y'all got my house, man. I'm gonna get that because I'm gonna be nice. That's what you. You know, the mindset should be. But. Yeah, it's different, though. You think 7 million now you're only 19. I don't know, man. [00:45:45] Speaker A: I might. [00:45:46] Speaker D: I might have to think about. [00:45:49] Speaker A: Depends on it. [00:45:50] Speaker B: Depends on. [00:45:59] Speaker D: I'm going back to college for a year, bro. I was leaving because we want the bread, right? You give me 7, give me 300k. I was coming back. We was happy. I know. They got all the Marys now. That's what they probably will marry everybody. [00:46:21] Speaker B: Yeah, they probably going crazy. [00:46:22] Speaker D: You see her? [00:46:24] Speaker A: That's. Gee, today's the day Kimber hit you. [00:46:27] Speaker D: With that step, not March 10th. [00:46:30] Speaker B: We supposed to be saving that till we get 100, 200. You waste. We wasting the time right now. Come on. Wait. [00:46:38] Speaker C: Now we gotta. We gotta save that one. We gotta save. [00:46:40] Speaker B: Yeah, we gotta save it. [00:46:41] Speaker A: We ain't gotta talk about it. But it's crazy that we. [00:46:43] Speaker B: Partner. I was like. Somebody was like, Damn, that was 14 years ago. I said, damn, it was yesterday. All the trauma I got to deal with every year around this car.
