[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome to the Nil Podcast. I'm your host, Jermaine Dixon, here with my brothers, Lavance Fields, straight out of Brooklyn, my boy from Brownsville, got my man Gary. Yeah, let's get to it. [00:00:17] Speaker B: What is he trying g. Did he stop? What is. [00:00:21] Speaker A: Got My boy, Gary McGee, straight from the A, not Atlanta, Anderson, Indiana, 765. [00:00:27] Speaker C: Dog, you know, it's. [00:00:29] Speaker A: Oh, man, we here, we here. We here today, talk with y', all, you know, some sports. No guests today. It's just us. Just us. We here to vibe with y', all, you know, keep y' all updated on what we got going on, what's going on around college basketball, sports, period. How y' all boys feeling? [00:00:45] Speaker C: I'm good, man. Good. How is basketball season? You get into the good part of them, you know what I'm saying? 14 games in most teams. It's time for seeing who really going to be the. The guys, you know, early going into, you know, in conference play. [00:00:57] Speaker B: We're going to separate themselves now. That's where we at now. We're going to separate themselves. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Yes. It's gonna be going to be good. Coming down to the end. Before we talk about any teams, though, Nils Nil podcast, you see what's going on. College basketball, where they bring in guys coming from the pros back into college. Boy went to Baylor that was drafted by the Knicks. James Najee got to play his first game with Baylor. We could talk about this game a little bit. I don't, you know, who's seen it or not, but also talk about guys coming back in from the pros, coming into college. But, Lavance, what do you think about. [00:01:42] Speaker B: When you seen him play, seeing him play? I see everybody was a little up in the uproar about it. I mean, myself as well. I don't really agree with it, but after watching him play, I don't think he's a factor. So it's like, I don't think anybody's worried anymore. I thought he was. I know it's only one game, but I'm thinking like, he was going to be like a double, double machine. Like he. I thought he was going to clearly be head and shoulders better than guys, or at least you can tell he's a pro, and once again, it's one game. But what I saw is I don't think he's going to really be a threat, so it's nothing to worry about. But at the same time, I'm not in agreement of that rule of being able to do that. And no magnitude. [00:02:23] Speaker A: What about You G, I have to. [00:02:24] Speaker C: Agree with him as far as that. You know, he has experience, you know, playing in overseas in Spain, Turkey I believe too. Also he's with I think believe Barcelona. So that's a big club overseas. So yeah, you know, everything at his fingertips to be able to get better and improve his game coming back. I think he played, he also played summer league with the Charlotte Hornets, I believe and he got to play against Wimy and that in Wimy's first, I think it was his first or second summer league game. So he had that experience. He was drafted, but he did not play, you know, in the NBA or he didn't sign the NBA contract. And that was a little bit of what the NCAA said, Marie. They said NCAA has not and will not grant eligibility prospect or returning student athletes who have signed the NBA contract, including the two way that was Baker, the head of the ncaa. So basically he didn't sign it. So I guess they saying if you didn't sign a real NBA contract, you're not considered an NBA player. So being drafted because you know a lot of guys get drafted in that second round and never played in the NBA, but I just don't think it's right having that experience, you know, and kind of having a leg up on some of the guys, you know, you're giving the opportunity from high school guys to a guy that's been a pro already and made money. Not allowing the opportunity for kids to come get education and play college basketball. I don't think it's right morally in my opinion. [00:03:38] Speaker A: I agree with y' all and it's funny you read that G. I'm glad look at you boy. Damn knowledgeable coming my homework dog, doing this job. Hey, I see you, I see you my boy. But look, I was, I'm gonna play this clip from probably not gonna play the whole thing, but Jay Billis, I don't know if y' all heard what he had to say about it, but it was same thing what you just read. J See if I can pull this clip up right here. Jay Pillars this is three minute clip. [00:04:03] Speaker D: Through the NBA draft process. He was drafted number 31 in that draft in the second round, but never played in an NBA game, never signed an NBA contract. He's been, he's played in some NBA summer league games, but he's been playing overseas in Spain and he just enrolled at Baylor as a mid season transfer. He's never been enrolled in college as a full time student before. And a lot of coaches have come out saying this is Not a good thing. One thing I think the coaches are missing out. They just don't know the rules. This is not unusual in that a mid season transfer. This has happened a lot before and the NCAA rules allow it. If Jane Dinaji had signed an NBA contract, that would be different. But you can play professional basketball both in the United States and overseas and play on a professional team as long as the money you take is essentially your expenses. So this idea that somehow LeBron James could retire from the Lakers and play for Ohio State, that's not within the rule structure. Look, if you don't want a player that has played professionally, but you get. [00:05:08] Speaker A: The Jazz, kind of the same thing G said and listen to Jay. But I didn't know that and obviously G write it. So my stance on it, I'm not mad. I mean if you didn't, if you don't not collect the money then I mean if you didn't. He said the money is like not a certain amount. [00:05:27] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you ain't collect money expenses. He's saying, yeah, right. Consider being a pro. [00:05:32] Speaker C: I'm not mad at the coaches. I'm not mad at the coaches. You got to do what you got to do, especially in this nil or get, you know what I'm saying? Try to win. So if it's within the rules, you got to do what you got to do. So I'm not mad at Coach Drew down in Baylor. I mean, you got to do what you got to do. [00:05:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not mad at the coach. I just don't agree with you saying I wasn't mad at the coaches agreeing with y' all as well. But I, I just don't like the rule. Yeah, I'm not mad at them doing what they got to do. But I, but then hearing Jay Bulla saying it happened before, I didn't know that though. So that's, that's news to me. Right? [00:05:57] Speaker A: That's, that's how I was like, damn. I didn't know, I didn't know that was the thing that was going on. [00:06:01] Speaker C: Like coming to mid season like that or just getting players from overseas, just. [00:06:04] Speaker B: Getting I guess players. [00:06:08] Speaker A: But you. [00:06:09] Speaker B: But yeah, they did. [00:06:10] Speaker C: I just thought about that because in his canter when he was at Kentucky back then he was getting, he got paid. [00:06:15] Speaker A: That was a problem. [00:06:15] Speaker C: He got paid in Turkey. He got paid. But now because Nil getting paid overseas don't matter. You can come over. You know what I'm saying? I think that's how kind of how it goes. My thing was that he got drafted to the NBA. That was my only, my only little, you know, kind of issue with it. That's the only thing I see. If he wouldn't have got drafted, you. [00:06:30] Speaker B: Know what I'm saying? [00:06:31] Speaker C: Okay, so what? You know what I'm saying? That's why. That's the only thing I felt about it. Even though he didn't play, it just kind of. It was kind of weird, kind of awkward. But it's within the rules. You gotta try to do what you gotta do to win this. Absolutely. [00:06:42] Speaker B: We'll get fired. [00:06:43] Speaker A: You see, you see what Ruckus coach said? He said he gonna, he gonna go try to find a 36 year old. They work in the post office, bro. He said that. I thought he was talking to me. [00:06:54] Speaker C: I said. [00:06:56] Speaker A: I thought B night told him I was ready to hoop. [00:06:58] Speaker C: Here's all your eligibility, man. You ain't got no eligibility. [00:07:01] Speaker B: You're done, man. [00:07:02] Speaker C: We're done. There's nothing left. I mean, he's fast. He lost it. He completely crashed out. Really? That's a real crash out, like crash. I think the main reason he crashed out is because they overturned it. They reviewed it, overturned it and then they overturned it again. That's, that's like, how are you doing that? [00:07:21] Speaker A: And it look, and it looked like it. They did it again because of the way Mark Madison was spazzing. Yeah. [00:07:27] Speaker C: Ah, yes. I feel like once you make, you make a decision after the first review, you can't go back to it again. Change it. That's like, what are you doing, man? You got to stand, stand on it. You. The first time y' all all agree it's not a foul, it's not a foul. You know what I'm saying? So that, that caused a four point play and it was up three. That usually, I mean, we've seen it happen in the NBA before the famous Larry Johnson. I never. That was sick. I was sick watching that game. Trying to foul up three. And then you foul them, they hit the shot and they get the free throw and you lose the game. Now as a coach, I think I will always be, I will be for fouling. But if they going into their motion, you got to just. [00:08:05] Speaker A: I'm not with the fouling. [00:08:06] Speaker C: If it's under. I feel like if it's under 10 seconds, you got a foul. You got to. Especially if you got a good free throw shooter. You got a naive free throw shooter. [00:08:14] Speaker A: Now that if I got Steph Curry, yeah, I might be with it, but I'm a defensive guy. G I am straight up. [00:08:22] Speaker C: I like. [00:08:23] Speaker B: We straight up. [00:08:24] Speaker A: We get. [00:08:24] Speaker C: I think the percentages and the numbers tell you you should foul. [00:08:27] Speaker A: I don't mess with analytics. [00:08:29] Speaker C: Huh? [00:08:30] Speaker A: I don't do the analytics. [00:08:32] Speaker C: I mean, I'm not a huge analytics guy, but sometimes you got to look at the numbers and see what they tell you. They talk to you. [00:08:36] Speaker A: Sometimes I'm better. I'm better than him. Yeah. You ain't give it. [00:08:42] Speaker B: What y' all talk about analytics. [00:08:43] Speaker C: True. We're talking about Shrewsbury and his crash out against Cal after the four point play. [00:08:50] Speaker B: Four point play. [00:08:51] Speaker A: And I was. [00:08:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:08:51] Speaker C: And we're just going into. Are you a guy that fouls up three? Are you a guy to play it out? I said I'm a guy. I like the foul. If it's under 10 seconds, I got a good free throw shooter. I'm playing it out. [00:09:02] Speaker B: Playing out. Why say Lee like me playing it out? [00:09:05] Speaker A: I'm playing it out, playing it out. I hate. [00:09:08] Speaker B: I like it because it. [00:09:09] Speaker A: Hate it. [00:09:09] Speaker C: Because it puts. It still puts pressure on the other team to make two free throws because. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Sometimes they miss and then it puts pressure right back on you to make them. [00:09:16] Speaker C: Free throw shooter. I got free throw shooters in my backcourt like Revance Fields. [00:09:23] Speaker B: I mean, I got. [00:09:24] Speaker C: If I got guys that hit clutch free throws on top, just being real. [00:09:27] Speaker B: I can agree with that. [00:09:28] Speaker A: No, nah, I'm. I'm. We. We playing it out. We straight up. Get a buck. You gotta get a buck. [00:09:34] Speaker B: I'd rather that too, though. [00:09:36] Speaker C: A lot of times they get bucks. [00:09:39] Speaker B: I just rather that, man. Cause then we could. Yeah. If they miss, we up three. You get fouled then free throws. Yeah. It's just as much pressure on you when you foul them. But I understand, G. Like you said, they gotta make two free throws, so it go either way. [00:09:50] Speaker C: It do. I feel like it depends on your personnel, definitely. [00:09:53] Speaker A: But. Yeah, talking about Struse, right? How do y'. All. I mean. I mean, we probably pretty much getting into it, but what is your reaction on his reaction of them calling a foul, counting the three, taking it away, and then giving them the points again and saying the shot was good. What is y' all take on that? [00:10:15] Speaker B: I seen him running after the ref. Me personally, he could have tried to hold his emotions a little bit better. I'm a fiery player. I was a fiery player. I'm a fiery person. But, you know, in that unfortunate. In that circumstance, it's gonna be painted a certain way. But I ain't think it was a foul. So I. I understand His. His IRA emotion and being kind of upset with that call once again, you know, you still gotta be professional and not do that sort of thing, obviously, with your kids there and trying to teach them the right way, but I get it. And right there in that time play, it's like emotions run high, man. You know what I mean? And like I said, I didn't agree with the call as well. So I get it. They on the road, trying to get a big win, and it came down to that. I give him a pass for it, man. I think he's a great guy, so he'd be all right. [00:10:58] Speaker C: Like you said, it's in the heat of the moment. I'm from Indiana, so I. I grew up watching IU basketball, and I watched Bobby Knight do a lot of crazy things and these loves, you know, sometimes. Sometimes you got to crash out. It's part of the game. But like you said, you're gonna be reprimanded for like the ACC did. That's just. I mean, you can do that. But then you, you know, they watching me now. You can't have like a getting on thin ice or you do something else crazy like that. But like you said, in that. In that moment, especially when they review it, they say, okay, it wasn't a foul. Then they go back and then say it's a foul. I. I mean, the crash out was valid, my opinion. It was wrong morally. And, you know, in front of the, you know, TV game, the players and recruits coming in that might. They might look down on it, but I understand it. Like you said, that was crazy. To get it overturned and then overturned again is crazy. Like what? Spaz? But he chased after the ref, though. He was wilding. He probably chasing through the tunnel. [00:11:56] Speaker B: Put hands on him. He's about to put hands. Where he from, man? [00:11:58] Speaker C: You gotta see where he from. He's gonna put hands on him. [00:12:00] Speaker A: Yeah, see where he from. Yo, when I was overseas, I used to spaz on the refs. I'm not gonna lie to you. If I'm with Shrewsbury, I might not have did it on that court. I'm going to the refs locker room after the game. [00:12:11] Speaker C: Oh, you're wilding. You went to a locker room? [00:12:13] Speaker A: We gonna see what's up. Going get my suspension. I don't care. [00:12:16] Speaker B: All right, as long as you know. [00:12:17] Speaker A: That, yeah, I'mma take my suspension. [00:12:19] Speaker C: All right, man. I need my bread. I'm cool. [00:12:21] Speaker A: Hey. [00:12:21] Speaker C: Nothing. [00:12:22] Speaker A: Hey, you're a millionaire. What, one or two games? [00:12:27] Speaker C: I'm talking about you. I'm overseas. I want my talking overseas. [00:12:34] Speaker A: No, no, no. I'm saying if I was shrews, bar. No, I'm just saying. But when I was overseas, I did used to spares on the refs a lot, but they couldn't. They couldn't ref over there. [00:12:42] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, he from. He from. He from Indy. So, yeah, we go Indiana guy crashing when we go there, we go there. Ain't from Anderson from Indy. He for Indy. But when we go there, we go there. You know what I mean? That's all. That's it. [00:12:58] Speaker B: He good. [00:12:59] Speaker A: He a good coach, too, man. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I like. I like him. [00:13:02] Speaker C: Got some good recruits. He getting in there, so doing good. [00:13:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure he wanted to show his guys that he always got their back. He was a little extra in front of everybody, but I'm with the Crash out. I'm with the Crash out all the way. I ain't mad at it. Speaking of Crash out, the girls tcu. What's my girl name? Get her name off the top of my head. [00:13:27] Speaker C: Is it Miles? Olivia Miles. [00:13:29] Speaker A: Olivia Miles. Olivia Miles having a hell of a game, going crazy and end up spazzing on her teammate because they ain't give her the rock at the end of the game. What'd you say? [00:13:43] Speaker B: No, I was just agreeing with you. [00:13:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:46] Speaker A: Ain't give it a rock at the end of the game. Where I felt like in her situation, she carried them. She was doing what she needed to do. Yeah. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. What do you feel about that, G? Like, are you mad at her, man? [00:14:00] Speaker C: She wrong. You can spaz, but you can't jump up and down like that. You can't throw a fit on tv, even though you right. She should have got the ball back. That's something. You spaz on her in the huddle. [00:14:09] Speaker B: I didn't mean. [00:14:09] Speaker C: I got cussed out by some of my guards before in the huddle, but they ain't doing to me in front of everybody. Got to me in the huddle. Tell me what you doing. You got to do that. She the girl that turned it over. That was a horrible turnover. She dribbled it up the right side and threw it to across the court, out of bounds. Like, what are you doing? So I feel. I feel her like, she. She had every right because she. Like you said, she was carrying the team, but you can't. You know, you can't do that like how she did. Like, you can throw some emotion, but you can't jump up and down. [00:14:35] Speaker A: Like, jumping up and down like, in the moment. Give me the ball. I don't give. What you talking about? You seen Katie? You seen Katie and Draymond? [00:14:43] Speaker C: I seen Levance play as a point guard leading the team. I never. I seen him spaz, but I never seen him jump up and down like that. That's crazy. He did a lot of stuff, but we knew. [00:14:52] Speaker A: We knew we was gonna get le, too. [00:14:54] Speaker B: I ain't see nobody ever do what that girl did, though. [00:14:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:58] Speaker B: She can't give it to her the first time. That's why you gotta. Since you wanted to dare. Then, like you said, you ripple it up the court. You have a chance to give it to me again, then you throw a heart, you throw it across. Like, I'm a successful thing. [00:15:10] Speaker C: I'm just. [00:15:10] Speaker B: Throw it across. You turn it over. Yeah, I'm jumping ahead a little bit. Yeah. [00:15:15] Speaker C: Hey, now, you said about the skip, because she did skip it across, and she was at the top. [00:15:18] Speaker B: That is crazy. Violated. She did skip her. [00:15:22] Speaker C: She was at the top. That's crazy. That is crazy. [00:15:25] Speaker B: I think that's where that emotion had came from because, like, you missed me the first time right next to you. You dribbled it up like you said, g. You could have gave it to me. Can you do it across with. Nah. Now that's why she's spinning. I think that's what it came from. If she ain't missing the first time. Yeah, that was just the emotion. Like, I already. You don't see me, you know, I mean, so I'm not. I'm not mad at. Like you said, I get it, too. You know, as a leader or the point guard, best friend team, you can't react like that. But in a moment, I didn't think it was that bad. Like, it wasn't. Like, it looked like she kept shooting out. She jumped in the air, turned around, and went down court on defense, you know what I mean? So. And it's girls, man. They got to show some emotion. I ain't mad at that. [00:16:00] Speaker C: That's a little. That's. [00:16:00] Speaker A: That always going to show. [00:16:02] Speaker C: That makes it a little good. [00:16:04] Speaker A: Always going to show emotion. And we seen it, too. I remember y' all remember Dwan and Dewana saying in the house. [00:16:12] Speaker B: Yeah, who wasn't passing? [00:16:15] Speaker A: I think. [00:16:15] Speaker B: Where was you at last night? What was you at against. Yo, how'd that come up? Where was you at? Who was pissed? I can't remember. [00:16:29] Speaker A: Sam was saying was mad at the one, right? [00:16:34] Speaker B: Was like, yo, man, they both was, like, looking at each other like they was about to do it in the other. I'm like, I ain't stopping nothing. [00:16:43] Speaker A: Dixon. They know what Dixon was. [00:16:45] Speaker C: That. Was that the game immediately after Providence. [00:16:49] Speaker A: That's what I. Yeah, it was the next game. Yeah. [00:16:52] Speaker C: I never forget that game. I always talk about getting. Getting the court stormed against you. Oh, man, I didn't even got to get out of there. You didn't realize it happened. [00:17:01] Speaker B: I don't know what I did when we. I don't know. I don't remember that, bro. I just remember. [00:17:05] Speaker C: Straight to the locker room, bro. [00:17:07] Speaker A: Straight to the locker. [00:17:07] Speaker B: I remember clam chowder. That's all I remember from that trip. I don't remember nothing else. [00:17:13] Speaker A: That's all y' all kept talking about. [00:17:15] Speaker C: Was a clam chowder. I was so high when we went back to Boston for the. The elite eight in 2016. Good for Diem. Me and Gil used to play one on one. Craps is crazy. Just us gambling, trying to take each other. [00:17:29] Speaker A: That's what y' all was doing.

[00:18:31] Speaker A: Oh, so that was. That was. That was the summer before. [00:18:35] Speaker C: No, Nas wasn't there yet. [00:18:36] Speaker A: How about say Nas was there? [00:18:37] Speaker C: That was because I think Mike Cook was still there. [00:18:39] Speaker B: So that's. [00:18:40] Speaker A: Yeah, because when I got. When I got there. When I got there. When I got there, Gil had the rims. All right. [00:18:45] Speaker C: Might have been in Denver. [00:18:46] Speaker B: Denver. Gil, one grims on us. Hey, we was gambling every chance we got.

Yeah, you had to do it like that because you getting that little punk 30 here, 40 now. You gotta let that add up. Get some trips be a buck. [00:19:36] Speaker C: I wonder what they predict now. I wonder what they predeem this now. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Probably. [00:19:40] Speaker C: I don't know. That got me. [00:19:41] Speaker A: I mean, they probably ain't got to give them nothing. [00:19:42] Speaker C: No, you still do. Got to part of the rules. [00:19:46] Speaker B: Yeah, they probably signed for a band after the game. [00:19:48] Speaker A: I say I gave you 800,000. I ain't giving you nothing. Keeping this. [00:19:52] Speaker C: That's what they do for DMS everywhere. They do in pro sports, too. Same.

[00:20:17] Speaker B: I was getting money every which way. [00:20:18] Speaker C: Man. [00:20:18] Speaker B: Don't watch me. [00:20:19] Speaker C: You was taking that and taking the. Taking the. The trick truck and going ahead and spinning. [00:20:24] Speaker A: I'll go right. I was going right to the movies, yo. [00:20:27] Speaker C: Giving it up. [00:20:27] Speaker B: Messing up all kind of access, man. [00:20:30] Speaker C: Oh, my God, y'. All. Golly. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Hey, hey. Let's get that. Let's get out of there. Get out of there. Hey, UConn. You know, I love UConn. UConn having a great year. I think they 15 1. Dan Hurley is my favorite coach college basketball. I love the accountability he took on himself with the players. I'll play a clip of him talking about him taking accountability for the turnover issues and the team struggles. And let me know what y' all think about it. Dan Hurley, this team with the. [00:21:01] Speaker E: We're just. I've. We're just. I've done a bad job with this team with the ball. Security and a lack of discipline. When a team shows a lack of discipline, it's, you know, it's the coach. You know, the coach is allowing it because I haven't been able to clean it up in practice and get my point across. But, yeah, just that, you know, we're. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Nowhere near where we need to be. [00:21:23] Speaker E: In terms of ball security. And I think maybe the only way to fix that is to start sitting these guys down when they turn it over or we just got to turn up the heat. [00:21:31] Speaker C: Practice. [00:21:32] Speaker A: That's Dan Hurley taking accountability for his team struggles in. In ways where they still winning games. But, you know, they. They. They have some tough times. And before I get y', all take. What's up with coaches doing that stutter because Dixon used to do that. Yeah. [00:21:49] Speaker B: That's just trying to think and trying. [00:21:50] Speaker C: To process everything, get it out, everything right. Autumn cameras. Yeah. [00:21:57] Speaker A: Yeah. What are y'. All. What's y' all take on Dan Hurley taking responsibility for his team, for his team struggles? [00:22:04] Speaker B: I mean, with a coach like that, obviously they've been to the top of the mountain twice. Back to back expectations is high. Like you said, they're still winning games, but he's taking accountability and trying to nip it in the bud now, where. You just got to respect that. I mean, he knows how long the season is, and he wants to be playing better in March, and he gotta make sure he's taking care of that now, like he said, whether it's going to be having to sit guys when they doing that, or he just got to turn it up in practice, it's a good thing that he's recognizing it now, calling it out now, once again, they're still winning, and it's just something that he wants his team to grow in so they could be better for him. March, as we know, once again, they're a championship program. He's a championship coach, so I wouldn't expect nothing less from him. And as a player, I would be fired up because I don't want to be on my. My coach bad side. Plus, I know he's right. [00:22:51] Speaker A: You know what I mean? [00:22:52] Speaker B: Turnovers lead to bad things. Check the ball, you get more shots, you give your team more opportunities to score the ball. So I agree with Hurley in every facet of that, man. It's. It's a great. A great approach as a coach. [00:23:03] Speaker A: Hold it, G. Before you go. I was watching G. I think you. You told us the game was on, but I was watching the UConn in Providence game, and I was wondering, I'm like, why is Solo on a bench? He was on the bench colon. The whole ot. [00:23:18] Speaker B: That was good for him. Yeah. [00:23:19] Speaker A: At the end of the. [00:23:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:20] Speaker A: And I was like, did he get hurt or not? Cause I don't remember. But he was turning the ball over. He wasn't. He wasn't playing well. I don't know the other guard name. I can't think of his name. Ari. Number. Number two, but he, he was, he was playing well. I think he had like 14 or 13 assists, but I was like, damn solo on the bench. That's. That's Hurley's testament on. I'mma sit you. And so I'm. I'm a sit you. Even though. Even though you the guy and we deed you, I'mma sit you. [00:23:47] Speaker C: So. [00:23:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I respect it. [00:23:48] Speaker C: Yeah, I do too. Like, like you said, like, you know, it's a great point. You guys said coming in the tournament, you turning the ball over, it can cost you a game. Easily one and done. Turn the ball over, that's going to cost you in the tournament. He's a championship coach. He's been there one. So I, I definitely, you know, agree with him doing that. You can't accept what you would, you know, saying you can't accept what you. What happens in a win that you wouldn't accept in a loss. You know what I'm saying? Like, same thing. You gotta. You only accept the turnovers. You can't accept them even when you win it. So you're trying to have a scene ready for the, you know, when the tournament comes, conference play. You know, they're gonna be playing a lot of big games, but like you said, that game, that was a good game against Providence. [00:24:25] Speaker D: They. [00:24:25] Speaker C: They came back, they stormed back because I, I got to the game, I think they was down maybe six and second half, it was like maybe three, three minutes to go. Six or eight or something like that. And they just rallied back. Indiana kid Braylon. Braylon Mullins. He. He's letting that thing go. He's letting that thing go. He had it on him for sure. He had it on him for sure. [00:24:46] Speaker B: He was letting. He. [00:24:46] Speaker C: I think he had like six threes or something like that. He was, he was fine. Yeah, he was fine. Six or seven. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Him. [00:24:51] Speaker B: And his name is Silas Damari. [00:24:53] Speaker A: I think I said Silas Damari. That's the, that's the point guard. [00:24:56] Speaker C: Say him and Callum Brandon, right? [00:24:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:59] Speaker B: You said Mullins has 60 threes, right? G. Mullins. Is that the Indian Mullins? Yeah, he has 6, 3, 6, 10. [00:25:04] Speaker C: Yep. Yeah, you don't gotta check my stats. I got it. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:07] Speaker C: No compete. No, man, I don't got him in front of. I remember, I was watching. Oh, yeah. [00:25:11] Speaker B: Oh, it's up there. [00:25:14] Speaker A: Because he from Indiana, huh? [00:25:15] Speaker B: I bet that's the only people's stats he keep track of. [00:25:19] Speaker A: Indiana guys. [00:25:20] Speaker C: Yeah, I've seen You play high school, Brian tough. [00:25:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Boogie Flynn finally had a good performance. A visual performance. With the win, he had 21, 23 points. Other day for Florida and the winner, Tennessee versus Tennessee. [00:25:32] Speaker C: Was it at Tennessee? Yep. [00:25:33] Speaker B: So that. [00:25:34] Speaker A: That was Florida. Just got two back to back big wins. [00:25:36] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, you know, early Brooklyn next year, too. [00:25:40] Speaker B: Let me just. I know that, right? I'm in the college basketball. He's from Brooklyn next year, right. I know that, right. He's going to Duke. [00:25:45] Speaker C: The point guard. [00:25:45] Speaker B: Yes, The Ron Rippy. So we know. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:50] Speaker C: I got one. I got one. I got one. I've seen his highlights. [00:25:56] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Throw that out there. Early Brooklyn. [00:25:59] Speaker C: My boy, my boy. He a big Duke fan. He's like, yo, look what we got coming in. He's so hype. [00:26:04] Speaker B: That's right. [00:26:06] Speaker C: I was like, yeah, he tough. Like when they said he like what. He probably the top. The highest guard prospect in a long Friday since. A long time going, like, going to do number one, right? Yeah. [00:26:18] Speaker B: I would say since Sebastian, if you being real. [00:26:21] Speaker C: They say it says Kyrie. [00:26:22] Speaker A: Kyrie, Kyrie from Jersey, New York. [00:26:24] Speaker B: So I'm from Brooklyn, play for Blair in Jersey, but he's from Brooklyn. Let's not mistake it at all. He's from Brooklyn and he chose. [00:26:32] Speaker A: He. [00:26:32] Speaker B: He. [00:26:32] Speaker A: And he going to Duke. [00:26:33] Speaker B: He's going to Duke. It's signed, his seal. He going to play for Shire. They signed and sealed. [00:26:38] Speaker C: I started getting it done over there. [00:26:41] Speaker B: I remember what I did to them. It's my man. Why would you play around? [00:26:44] Speaker A: How much money? How much money you think he get? [00:26:47] Speaker B: I'm giving 2.2.2. 2.2. 2.2 Mickey D's and all that. Yeah. I'm saying 2.2. That's the brotherhood they cast. You see I got my blue on you. [00:27:00] Speaker C: Wow. [00:27:01] Speaker A: You pick blue. [00:27:02] Speaker B: Wow.

[00:27:33] Speaker A: Hey, speaking of money, y' all seen. Y' all seen. Y' all seen Luca? Luca taking shots at Dennis Schroeder. [00:27:41] Speaker C: Facts. [00:27:41] Speaker B: You want that first, G? [00:27:43] Speaker C: I mean, it's crazy. [00:27:44] Speaker A: Like, I mean, he said, should have took the money. You should have took the money. [00:27:47] Speaker C: Yeah, man. He turned up. That was tough, man. Turning down that bread, man. That was. At the time, I thought that was a great contract and a great look around, you know what I'm saying? I don't know what he thought the open market was gonna be more for him, but that was the Lakers. They offering that for you. He was playing great. I mean, everybody has their reasons, but Luke was wilding, so. I mean, Dennis Schroeder said he's gonna put hands on him. I think that's. That's what that. Reportedly. [00:28:07] Speaker A: That's what happened. [00:28:08] Speaker C: Reportedly something happened. Something went down for him to get suspended. I'm just saying this is, you know, allegedly something like that happened in the back. I don't know if hands were put. Paws were put on somebody. Hands and feet. I'm not sure. [00:28:20] Speaker B: I will say the trash. That was as great of a low blow as you could go, Luca, because you better believe, you know, Schroeder felt that that's what probably really gonna be like. I'm gonna. I saw the clip where he was, like, on the court, like, I think that comment made him really be like. [00:28:37] Speaker C: Yo, yeah, it wasn't. [00:28:38] Speaker B: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, sometimes you could be a good trash talker, but you got to also back it up, man. But, you know, once again, allegedly. But, you know, they saying.

He thinks he's Rondo killed us. He fried us. Oh, my gosh. He was coming off the point. No pick and rolls. Our guards didn't know what to do. He was making the passes like. Yeah, he was. He was tough. He was tough over there. [00:30:46] Speaker A: Did he give you some buckets? [00:30:47] Speaker C: They actually. We played him. They. We was undefeated and they beat us. They knocked us off.

[00:31:20] Speaker B: I did not know Indiana was that good, bro. You know, I ain't been. [00:31:22] Speaker A: I didn't know Indiana was that good either. [00:31:24] Speaker B: I'm not gonna lie. Indiana. [00:31:26] Speaker C: That coach is elite. He's an elite recruiter. You know, he ain't no five stars. No five stars. [00:31:32] Speaker A: All three stars. He's built. He's building up his team. [00:31:35] Speaker B: I knew he's old school because I never heard. You know, you hear about recruits. I'm like, yo, he got a lot of D2 guys. See that. [00:31:42] Speaker C: He seemed to have 42 catch. He's like, I like him. He catch the ball. Come with me. [00:31:46] Speaker B: That's what's up. How it should be. [00:31:48] Speaker C: I know you've seen his press conference. When he first got there, he said, yo, this press conference, he said, yeah. [00:31:53] Speaker B: He said, yeah. [00:31:54] Speaker C: All I do is Win. He said, all I do is win. Google me. No. [00:31:57] Speaker A: Wow. [00:31:57] Speaker C: This is when he first got there. This is. [00:31:59] Speaker A: This is first year iu. [00:32:00] Speaker C: No, it's the second year when he first got there. This is like two. Like, when he first got there, IU was a horrible program. He took us to the college. [00:32:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [00:32:06] Speaker C: Took IU to the college playoffs. [00:32:08] Speaker B: No one. [00:32:08] Speaker A: No one thought about Indiana football. No one thought about football. [00:32:12] Speaker C: It's never been a thing. [00:32:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's basketball. [00:32:15] Speaker B: Number one. Like, forget just in the playoffs. They're the number one team. I'm looking like Indiana that first play, you know, I knew it was over. I said, oh, they, they, they. [00:32:23] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Pick six was crazy. I missed that. I was coming back to the crib and I was like, yo, how's it? [00:32:28] Speaker B: Seven, zero? [00:32:29] Speaker C: It just started, bro. They said pick six first. [00:32:31] Speaker B: It was so loud, bro. I ain't going front. Once he let the ball go, I said, oh, that is an inno. Son broke on at number five. They say he like a pond. I think his last. They say he a top cornerback. [00:32:44] Speaker C: They got a squad, bro. [00:32:45] Speaker B: It's gonna be a good game. [00:32:47] Speaker C: Hey, quarterback impressed. Last. [00:32:48] Speaker A: Top two, quarterback. Top two. [00:32:50] Speaker C: Last game. I ain't gonna lie. Last game. At first, like, okay, he cool. He might be a good college quarterback, but the throws he was making last game, I was impressed. I was like, he put them on the money. You see him. And he got a little bit of legs. Not bad. [00:33:02] Speaker A: I don't think he won the Heisman. [00:33:05] Speaker B: That's him. He won. [00:33:06] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah, I know. [00:33:07] Speaker B: He won the houseman. [00:33:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:08] Speaker B: That's how much I'm not paying attention. Respect. I'm sorry. [00:33:11] Speaker C: I'm just being real. But he's from. He was at. He was at Cal. He was at Cal. [00:33:14] Speaker B: And he's okay. [00:33:16] Speaker C: He's a graduate. Graduate. Guy came from Cal, iu. He from Miami. So the game is in Miami versus Miami. [00:33:23] Speaker A: The game is in Miami. Yeah, that game is first. Right down the street from my crib. That's about to be crazy. [00:33:27] Speaker B: But I respect Miami. [00:33:29] Speaker A: It's a home game for Miami. [00:33:30] Speaker C: Definitely. [00:33:31] Speaker A: It's a home game for Miami. [00:33:32] Speaker C: Miami good, too, though. Carson Deck is a good. [00:33:34] Speaker B: That's what we talk about. You gotta respect him, man. This is what I'll respect. But we've been talking about nil. I know. We talk about football now, right? He comes from Georgia, if I'm not mistaken, because I remember watching him. [00:33:45] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:33:47] Speaker B: He gave him 4 million of what I'm hearing. Or maybe More. And now they in the chance and they in the championship with a chance to win it. This is what that should be about. I mean, everybody ain't gonna do that. I get it. But these high profile players, basketball or football, when they get paid, that's what I'm expecting, though I do want performance to come with it. Not knocking it, but I like to see this. Like, I bet there he got 4 million, now he has a chance to win it all. That's how it should be done. [00:34:11] Speaker A: Definitely got a chance. [00:34:13] Speaker C: He made it happen. [00:34:13] Speaker A: I don't know if his money well spent. I don't know if his money well spent because his performance this year hasn't been great. But in the game to go to the championship game, he did what he was supposed to do. I'm about to say, so you can smile. Hey, we appreciate you. We in this championship game, you got to finish it out. Just because he hasn't played well all year. [00:34:33] Speaker C: I grew up a Miami fan, so this is, you know, I'm kind of. [00:34:36] Speaker A: Why are you growing up a Miami fan and you in Indiana? [00:34:41] Speaker C: Hey, don't make this a thing. [00:34:43] Speaker B: How did you get down there? How did you get all the way down there? [00:34:45] Speaker C: I love Miami, you know, I mean, Willis McGah. I don't know if y' all go that far back. [00:34:49] Speaker B: Yes, we do. Willis, who are you talking. [00:34:53] Speaker C: You should have. [00:34:53] Speaker A: You should have been. You should have been watching Nebraska, boy. You was watching Miami. [00:34:56] Speaker B: Why would I be watching them? [00:34:58] Speaker A: Nebraska right down the street from you, okay, if you didn't. [00:35:01] Speaker C: Nebraska is not right. [00:35:01] Speaker A: If you didn't like iu. It's close. It's closer than Miami hockey. [00:35:05] Speaker B: Let's keep naming them. You want to act like you only want to know that. Jeremy Shock. [00:35:09] Speaker C: Let's get in that. On that squad. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the Dogs. He went to the Giant. Yeah, my boy was over there with me, you know, to get that quarterback. He was. I like. [00:35:17] Speaker C: It wasn't candority, was. [00:35:18] Speaker B: It was candor. See who taps in. [00:35:21] Speaker C: I know. I'm just making sure. [00:35:28] Speaker A: I was definitely watching. But my squad, my squad was. [00:35:31] Speaker B: You say your name. [00:35:32] Speaker A: My squad. [00:35:33] Speaker B: Why is your squad uf? [00:35:34] Speaker C: You're from Baltimore. What are we talking about? [00:35:36] Speaker A: That is Tell me what team I'm g like in Baltimore. Tell me who I'm like in Baltimore. We'll have a team in Baltimore. [00:35:42] Speaker B: It's any other team. [00:35:43] Speaker C: You can pick. What you mean? You on the east coast talking about you down. All the way down. Yeah. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Percy, Percy. Percy Harvey was special. Ain't no way. I'm not down there. [00:35:50] Speaker B: You should have. [00:35:52] Speaker C: What I was saying is I'm in. I'm in a tough spot right now. It's iu. [00:35:55] Speaker B: They never been as good. That good. [00:35:57] Speaker C: The city, the state where, you know, we. We didn't. [00:35:59] Speaker A: So now we got a chance. Now you're jumping on the bad way. Hold on. No, no, no. There's no tough spot. If Miami's your team, you can't jump on the bad way because they don't lose. [00:36:09] Speaker C: I don't. I can't lose. [00:36:10] Speaker B: I can't lose. [00:36:10] Speaker A: Basically, you're doing like I. You doing like I did in 2009 when the Steelers won a Super Bowl. I was in there rooting for. I was in there rooting for life. Fitzgerald. Larry scored that touchdown. Yeah. Let's go, let's go. Why would you do that touchdown in the back of the end zone for them. [00:36:25] Speaker C: Why was you rooting for Arizona? [00:36:26] Speaker A: I'm a Ravens fan. I didn't want the Steelers to win. I didn't want the Steelers to win. [00:36:30] Speaker C: I was like, you still rooting for Arizona? It's still kind of weird, but I got you. [00:36:34] Speaker A: When he caught that touchdown in the back of the end zone, San Antonio Holmes. I was running around Pittsburgh with the turbotail. [00:36:42] Speaker B: I was happy as hell fronting. [00:36:44] Speaker C: I was elite on four. [00:36:49] Speaker B: We saw two championships. I saw two in four years. That's what I was telling my friends today. I said, the Texans are done on Monday. The way I've been watching the playoffs now, Steelers are going to win Texas. I don't care about that defense. [00:37:00] Speaker A: Texas might win. [00:37:01] Speaker B: No, they're not. [00:37:01] Speaker A: Texas might watch. [00:37:02] Speaker B: They lose, bro. This is a prime time Steeler win. They gonna win, bro. This is what they watch. I ain't saying they win no Super Bowl. [00:37:10] Speaker C: I'm rooting for Buffalo to go ahead and win it. I mean, Josh Allen so much as organization lose four times in a row. [00:37:17] Speaker A: The Super Bowl, I'm not. I'm not gonna lie to you. I can't. I can't have Josh Allen with one before Lamar. [00:37:23] Speaker B: So I don't want him to win one either. All the guys is out that he usually get knocked by. So looking good for him. [00:37:28] Speaker A: I know. [00:37:28] Speaker C: I'm about to say Patrick. So it's like Jackson. The game today was tough. He got through. Crazy drive. [00:37:35] Speaker A: I knew there was gonna win that game. [00:37:37] Speaker C: That drive, that was a tough drive. [00:37:38] Speaker B: Now, you know what I don't like, bro? Why Brandon Cooks don't run no routes. He only runs straight out How y' all let him. [00:37:43] Speaker A: Yo, I forgot Brandon Cooks was in the NFL, though. [00:37:47] Speaker B: Making every catch for Josh Allen. It's folded, bro. [00:37:52] Speaker A: On defense, I knew Jacksonville was breaking. [00:37:55] Speaker B: Them up all day. What you mean they was breaking them up? They had no recon. [00:37:58] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. I'm with you, but my whole thing before the. Before the start of the game, I said Exonville. Even though they're a good team and they've been playing good all year, they not ready for this. This moment, they not ready. And Josh Allen and the Bills been there. [00:38:12] Speaker C: This is a chance right here. This is best chance, honestly. [00:38:14] Speaker A: It's going to be tough, though, because there's a lot of good defense. The Patriots. [00:38:18] Speaker C: I don't believe in the. I don't believe in Drake. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Honest. They should be true. [00:38:21] Speaker A: You have. Well, you haven't seen him yet. [00:38:22] Speaker C: You haven't seen playoffs. Am I right? [00:38:24] Speaker B: Yes. [00:38:25] Speaker A: Yeah. But you can't say you don't believe in him in the playoffs. You never seen him in the playoffs. [00:38:28] Speaker B: I need to see. [00:38:29] Speaker C: That's what I'm saying. I don't. I don't believe in him. You got to show me. You got to prove it to me. [00:38:32] Speaker B: He go first time. He gonna beat the charges, though. They. They ain't about nine. [00:38:36] Speaker A: Definitely beating the charges. [00:38:38] Speaker B: I want to see him, and I think it's gonna be him and Allen. I thought Gillette Stadium to get to the Super Bowl. [00:38:45] Speaker A: Denver. [00:38:49] Speaker C: Oh, Nick's first year. You believe in him in the playoffs. First year, he's rookies. [00:38:53] Speaker A: No, but next. No, this bow. [00:38:54] Speaker C: Next. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Second year, all them comebacks. [00:38:57] Speaker A: No, his second year. [00:38:58] Speaker C: I'm talking about the playoffs. It's the first playoff. Like playoffs is different. That's not the same. It's different. [00:39:03] Speaker B: You heard we had a lot of comeback wins in the regular season. I ain't. I don't believe. [00:39:07] Speaker C: I mean, we beat it. [00:39:09] Speaker B: Same thing with the Packers. They just threw the game yesterday. [00:39:13] Speaker C: That was crazy. I couldn't believe. I said 21 3. They clapping them. Then I woke up this morning, I said, hey, Lost. [00:39:19] Speaker B: That's horrible. [00:39:20] Speaker C: I can't believe it. [00:39:21] Speaker B: Knock, knock, knock. Open up my kids. [00:39:25] Speaker A: No respect. No. Watch this. No respect. [00:39:30] Speaker C: The name of the episode, no respect. [00:39:33] Speaker A: No respect.

[00:40:43] Speaker C: I would like to see who y' all get. Y' all probably gonna get Shane Stike. [00:40:45] Speaker B: I mean, not Shane. [00:40:46] Speaker C: Who? Stefanski. [00:40:47] Speaker A: Stefanski. [00:40:49] Speaker C: Stefanski. [00:40:49] Speaker A: We're gonna. We're gonna grab a defensive coach probably, I hope Brian Flores and grab Mike McDaniel as the offensive coordinator. We'd be fine. We'd be good. [00:40:57] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:40:57] Speaker C: I don't know what we doing. We still. We still, you know, dealing with making the mistake of drafting Anthony Richardson. We still live with. [00:41:05] Speaker B: Like I said, I shout out to Danny Doms. He was doing his thing. Injuries until fortunate. But I knew even if it. I wasn't going nowhere, bro. Y' all was going full. [00:41:13] Speaker C: We was gonna win it. That was gonna be ours. If you wouldn't got hurt, broke his leg, then towards Achilles, we would have been. [00:41:19] Speaker A: Y' all was gonna win what, the Super Bowl? [00:41:21] Speaker B: Nah. [00:41:21] Speaker C: At least the afc. [00:41:22] Speaker B: Stop. [00:41:23] Speaker C: We was gonna win the AFC Super Bowl. Okay. It would have been tough. [00:41:26] Speaker B: Teams like y' all like still is beat teams like y' all when y' all have that 12 and 5 year. Y' all come in that postseason, y' all gotta play them. I've seen it too many times, bro. That's what's the Texans watch what they watch. They lose. [00:41:38] Speaker C: I bet. [00:41:38] Speaker B: Yes. Watch the Steelers when they put something. [00:41:40] Speaker C: On CJ Stroud to hold it down. [00:41:42] Speaker B: That's what my bro was telling me today. Yo. Who won? [00:41:44] Speaker C: The Eagles won or they lost? [00:41:45] Speaker A: No, they went. They was. They was winning when I was watching. [00:41:49] Speaker B: I kind of don't. I don't want the Eagles to lose, but I know Mike and I'm gonna be talking trash, but I don't want the Eagles. [00:41:54] Speaker C: Eagles lost. [00:41:55] Speaker B: The Eagles lost. [00:41:58] Speaker A: They lost. [00:42:02] Speaker B: The 49ers wasn't gonna do nothing. He got me, son. [00:42:06] Speaker C: A.J. [00:42:06] Speaker B: Brown was dropping passes. I ain't see that. [00:42:10] Speaker A: Back to back. [00:42:10] Speaker B: Then the coach got in his face. Y' all seen that, huh? [00:42:13] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:42:14] Speaker B: It's done for the day. [00:42:15] Speaker C: I'm done. [00:42:17] Speaker B: Oh, Saquon had 100 and they still lost. That's bad business. [00:42:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:21] Speaker B: Get the Eagles out of here. They ain't repeating nothing. Okay, okay. [00:42:25] Speaker A: San Fran got him out of there. [00:42:26] Speaker C: Hey, man. [00:42:29] Speaker B: Had to come back and all that. That's what's up. [00:42:31] Speaker A: I gotta hear people. I hate San Fran fans. [00:42:34] Speaker B: You know a lot of Sanford? I know a couple, but they ain't going. [00:42:36] Speaker A: I just know one that. I just know one that it's gonna be odds. Yeah, I'm sure. My chat's going crazy right now. [00:42:43] Speaker B: I was just saying I can't wait till we get good just so I could cheer again, man. [00:42:46] Speaker C: I just want to. [00:42:47] Speaker B: Like, I missed, like y' all all thought y' all was doing, so I even want that to get let down. [00:42:52] Speaker C: Angle lie, though. Angle lie. At the beginning of the season, I was really feeling so good about my football team. It's been a while. I'll be honest. I was feeling too good. I was like, dang, I forgot what it's like to have a good football team. I can watch every Sunday, and we. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Got a chance to rap. It's fun having a chance. [00:43:06] Speaker D: Feels good. [00:43:06] Speaker A: Like, you thought you thought Peyton Manning was at quarterback again. [00:43:09] Speaker B: I didn't think. [00:43:09] Speaker C: I never thought that. [00:43:10] Speaker B: I never thought you ever disrespect. Don't you ever disrespect football. Omaha. Omaha. Fred D. Nobody watched game for an alumni game. Y' all ain't see them play against him? [00:43:23] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask, man. No, I didn't watch Pitt. [00:43:27] Speaker B: I watched it because I'm a fan of Kanye. Anthony, my young boy, out. I told you, I was watching him since he was early days on YouTube. He was always putting up his losses up there, and I thought that was real respectable. Respect, respectful. Respectable, because no other kid of that stature would do that. I mean, we've seen them. Like, you usually see the good, you don't see the bad. And I felt like, unfortunately, it was losing a lot, but he was showing it, and I felt like that was. That was a real character builder for me. So I like to check in and see what Kanye got going on. Obviously, they playing Our love. I mean our former school. I was hoping at home, even though. [00:44:04] Speaker C: He wasn't there, that we could hung. [00:44:05] Speaker B: Out because territories have been up and down as well. They had a loss a lower school in. Was that your Hobster? I thought we, I thought we had a chance. I mean, but watching the game is just, just like against Miami early in the year, we had the 20 old. [00:44:24] Speaker C: Run but wound up losing. [00:44:25] Speaker B: Like, we just get inconsistent. Too many plays back to back. And as we know we play, you can't have that. Sometimes you can, you can escape that and get a win still. But you got to get stopped when you're not getting shots on offensive and you can't not get shots and not get stops. And that's just happening a lot with our pit team, unfortunately. And it's hard to watch. We want to talk trash, we want to be on social medias, you know, rapping. But it's hard to rep when we losing because, you know, people come at us hard. I know for me, people come at me hard. I'm not doing a lot when we lose. I don't be like, I'll be trying to not, man, stay low. And it's like I just, I just want, I would like them to just get more consistent, man, every facet of the game. Like, yeah, you're gonna make mistakes, but we just got to be more consistent. Even with the shots we take. It's like, I don't know, it's just too inconsistent for me. [00:45:13] Speaker C: What we sitting at right now? [00:45:18] Speaker A: 0 and 3 and ACC and the. [00:45:19] Speaker B: Next two opponents don't get no easy. [00:45:21] Speaker C: It's just tough for us. Tough? [00:45:22] Speaker A: Yeah, don't get easy. I just, the, the, the shooting percentages, I mean, I'm looking at the. Like I said, I didn't see the Syracuse game. I did want to watch it because like you Lee, I wanted to see Kyan play just because it's mellow, son. And I'm a fan. He. And he didn't play much but Pittsburgh, I didn't watch the whole game. I actually caught the game at the end. But even like watching it like they shot 5 for 26 from the 3, you ain't about to win no games like that. Especially you shot 5 for 26 and you not the best offensive rebounding team, but you still. But in that sense, I mean, the best rebounding team, not offensive, but the best rebounded team. But in that game, you still won a rebounding battle and you still lost. But cheating 5, 26 is just not gonna cut it. [00:46:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that's tough right there. [00:46:11] Speaker C: 5:26, tough man. Just, you know, struggling right now. Been a rough season. You know, had some tough, tough ones. We dropped losing those two right there, Quinnipac and Hofstra. It's hurt at home against, you know, non conference team games. We expected to win then. You know, like you said, ACC schedule is not gonna get easier at all. It's gonna get tougher. Dukes and Carolinas, they coming up soon. [00:46:34] Speaker A: Well, Georgia Tech next and then Louisville. [00:46:39] Speaker C: I'm just saying in general, people have to play all them guys. You know what I'm saying? We gotta play all those guys. [00:46:43] Speaker B: All those. [00:46:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:46:44] Speaker C: So gotta find a way to get some wins in here, man. Yeah. [00:46:48] Speaker B: And just to piggyback one more time of G, like you said, the Hobson Quinnipack is just like. Even with. I think we lost at home to Texas A and M, it's like, sir, once again, I don't. I ain't expecting to win every game. I know we. That. I felt like that was a. I don't want to. I never like a loss, but I was okay with that loss. I feel like we battled Texas A and them was better. [00:47:08] Speaker C: Sure, I watched that. We watched that. [00:47:10] Speaker B: We battled at home and we lost. But then when you follow that losing to. Like I said, I think like half shot, I don't think I'm losing them. Like, it's like, nah, that's the bad losses. You know what I'm saying? Like, so that's, that's where I'm at. Like, once again, consistency, like, if we played how we played against Texas A M, I don't think we lose the Hobbs. But that's not the same team that showed up against Texas A and M against them two opponents. It was not the same team at all. So gotta be more consistent, man. [00:47:37] Speaker A: But like, but like you said, but like you said, we don't know which team is gonna show up. You don't know which team gonna show up. Like the Villanova game, I was looking forward to that game. Like, they didn't even, they didn't even take the trip down the. [00:47:52] Speaker B: It wasn't right up the block. Like, that's a far. [00:47:55] Speaker A: Yeah, like, it's. [00:47:57] Speaker B: I don't know, man. [00:47:58] Speaker A: I don't know. But then, but then, but then you come back and play Penn State, who's a good team, and you smack them. [00:48:03] Speaker C: Shoot the lights, the performances out of the guys. You know what I'm saying? [00:48:07] Speaker B: And I thought that was like we talked about in the chat. We thought maybe this could Be a start or something, man, we get hyped in the background and we ready, and then they. They turn the energy down again. It's like, man, it's hard to get the most and. [00:48:20] Speaker A: See, that's why I didn't speak on that video. That's why I didn't like that video. I didn't like that video. I was not a fan of them getting hyped after the Penn State win like that. Like, I'm cool. Yeah, be happy with the win, but not like that. [00:48:32] Speaker C: That's. That's how you get hyped after you beat, like, a Ranked opponent on the road. [00:48:36] Speaker B: Like a. I don't think you. [00:48:38] Speaker A: I don't. Yeah, you. Maybe. I guess. I guess maybe because when I played, like, I played, we was a top team. It was. We expected to win every game. So I. I don't know. I. Yeah, I'm never getting hyped like that. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Get hyped like that before the game, the water. [00:48:52] Speaker C: Was it water in that one? They throwing water based on water now? That part. No, I'm saying get hype, like. Yeah, afterwards. But the water is a little different for me. We got hype on games when we won, but not like that, bro. [00:49:03] Speaker A: We beat you, Con. We ain't get hyped. [00:49:04] Speaker B: Not at all. I mean, we was yelling a little bit, but, yeah, it was like, nothing like that. No, we was. I mean, we in the garden. [00:49:17] Speaker C: And. [00:49:17] Speaker B: It'S Duke and it's nothing, but they trying to out yellow Pit fans. You see, when you look at the picture, they like this. Yeah, lights out, it's over. But, yo, like, when I. When I look at them on my first thoughts was too, as well. Nah, we beat Penn State. Great win, you know, I mean, but I also realized they're young and they. [00:49:39] Speaker C: We. [00:49:39] Speaker B: It's been hard to get wins, too. Now. I still. I'm with y'. All. I don't agree fully how we celebrated, but because we wasn't getting wins, I was kind of like, whatever makes them, like, if that's gonna hopefully turn them up or get them going. I was. I was fine with it in that aspect. So I was. I was torn with it as it went on. Like, I'm like, I'm 50, 50 with it. @ first I was just against it. [00:50:00] Speaker C: But then I'm like, hey, we sounded like the old. The old dudes talking now. Me and you sounded like the old dudes talking, man. Back in my day, we used. [00:50:10] Speaker B: To just like, man says generation, but we beating Yukons and all that. We Ain't even thinking about, you know, man, it's just like that's what we supposed to do. So it's different. It's. [00:50:20] Speaker C: Different. Syracuse, Louisville, all of. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Them. Team in the Big east, everybody that we beat them. We all. [00:50:27] Speaker A: Did. Or just. Or just follow it. Or just follow. Follow it. [00:50:30] Speaker C: Up. Another one. Put a streak together. Go. [00:50:31] Speaker A: Streak. And we play. We played Miami. I was at the game the next game. We played Miami next. And they went on the 20 old run. And I'm like, oh, y' all watch number. [00:50:39] Speaker C: Two? [00:50:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Hit us with his own. And we act like we ain't know what to. [00:50:43] Speaker C: Do. Hit his own. Jay Lucas threw that zone in. I ain't seen no 13. [00:50:48] Speaker B: Moves. It was a horrible. [00:50:50] Speaker C: Zone. I didn't see 13. [00:50:50] Speaker B: Moves. It was a horrible zone. It wasn't even active. It wasn't even active. Like, it wasn't even like we touching. [00:50:57] Speaker C: Him. There wasn't no Syracuse. [00:50:59] Speaker B: Zone. It wasn't no Syracuse. [00:51:00] Speaker C: Zone. No, that wasn't no Louisville Brick Patino matchup. That was just a little regular. [00:51:05] Speaker A: Zone. Gee, you watched the. [00:51:07] Speaker B: Game. [00:51:07] Speaker C: We. I watched. I. [00:51:08] Speaker A: Watched. I'm not here to on. I'm not here to on nobody or nothing, but we ran the high pick and roll against his. [00:51:13] Speaker C: Own. Like I said, it wasn't no 13. 13 move. You get in and. [00:51:16] Speaker B: Out. Yeah, you. [00:51:17] Speaker C: Got. You got to screen the top guy, get some penetration in the zone. You can't just pass the ball around the top. Get it to the short corner. My bad. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to talk X's and. [00:51:26] Speaker B: O's. Talk X's and O's, man. They gotta hear it. They gotta hear. [00:51:29] Speaker C: It. That's the game. That's how you beat us. [00:51:30] Speaker B: All. And that's how we played. I mean, everybody knew what we had to do when we played in the zone. That's what I'm saying. Outside of. Even Dixon made drawed it up. We knew when we went on that floor, this is what we need to execute. I need the players to take more ownership. They're on the floor, they see exactly what's going on. Like, make a play. You got to read and react. That's the game. If you're gonna just be robots out there, it's not gonna work. You have to read and. [00:51:53] Speaker C: React. The next is gonna be a. [00:51:55] Speaker B: Robot. You gotta think, are you. [00:51:57] Speaker C: Right? I mean, so. And especially against his own. Against the zone, you get this offensive rebound heaven. You. They're not blocking out right at all. It's hard to block out. Crash all day, Garden area. But we'll see. [00:52:11] Speaker A: Man. Hopefully we can pick it up, man. Hopefully we can pick it up. I. You know, I'm definitely still rooting for the guys. We always, like I said, I want to see cable do. [00:52:20] Speaker B: Well. It's always hella fit, man. But we. We big fan. So we running out of town. We seven. And when we going, it's hard, man. We don't. I mean. [00:52:28] Speaker C: So we don't got. [00:52:31] Speaker B: Time. We don't got time. It's not on our side right now, man. It's. [00:52:34] Speaker A: Not. And. [00:52:35] Speaker B: I. It's not. Like I said, I don't. You're not giving me enough confidence to even be like, you know what? It's not enough consistency. As I'm saying, like, you could still have losses, but you could be like, you know what? They look good or this. It's not enough consistency where I'm like, all right, I feel good. If I'm being honest. I'm like, I can't tell. I don't know which play I'm getting. Some of these guys play like this, and they come out, they're not shooting. I'm like, what is going on? Like, I can't figure it out. Once again, I knew from the beginning of the season. I'm saying now on camera with the spoon. Had to be big for us to have a good year anyway. I know he's a freshman, but that's just what it is. If he has, he had to have a really good year for us to be good. I really believe that. And obviously his year hasn't been that, so I don't want to put it on him. He's a freshman. But when we watched the team and I saw them in person, he has to be a main factor, a major factor for us to be good, period. He has the tools he has in the ability. He has to dig deep. Gotta dig deep with the spoon. Dmv. So I'm from the. [00:53:29] Speaker A: Dmv. Dmv. [00:53:30] Speaker C: Baby. That's not having Jackson. It's hurting us. Like, we missed having that big fellow. I know. I know. He's. [00:53:38] Speaker A: Not. I was gonna say. [00:53:39] Speaker C: That. Shaq or nothing, but he's a. It's a big dude that can score. Got a nice touch around the basket. Like, you missed that. Just a big body. Like, you take up space. You're able to put cam at the 4. You got size out there now. Now you big out there now. Team's like, dang. Who guard him? You know what I'm saying, who gonna block him. [00:53:54] Speaker B: Out? [00:53:54] Speaker C: Yep. The other four is, you know, can't guard camp. Was gonna be able to dominate for us, and you know what I'm saying? Now he has to play more five, and I feel like. [00:54:01] Speaker A: He'S. And. And. And Papa still. [00:54:03] Speaker C: Hurt.

I think I remember everybody getting busy. Yeah, everybody was. [00:58:41] Speaker C: Seeing. Everybody want to see baby. [00:58:43] Speaker B: Hair. Ara was in the building, too, though. Don't forget about her. Ivy iv. Lada. I think I'm saying it. [00:58:49] Speaker C: Right. You. No, you talking about. [00:58:49] Speaker B: Sh. Bob her. [00:58:51] Speaker A: Too.

I don't know if you was in there. Do you have to be the dick? They clapped for us, G, when we came in the arena, if I'm not mistaken, G probably go to the. [00:59:39] Speaker A: Game. He's so lost. He don't. [00:59:40] Speaker B: Know. But I really think I. You know, I remember now. You know, neither one of y' all was this my sophomore year. Aaron. [00:59:46] Speaker C: Gray. Yeah. [00:59:48] Speaker A: Okay. I must say, I wasn't there. I. [00:59:49] Speaker C: Know. I knew they played them, but. [00:59:50] Speaker B: I didn't remember what year because they gave us a standing ovation. That's why I remember. I'm like, was you there, G? Well, we came in, they made us stand up, and she. I mean, you know, not like that. You know, the girls tournament be having crowds and. And we just. Like I said, we just advanced being VCU to go to the Sweet 16 in Cali. So we come home from. And the girls was playing. We went to the tournament because we all hype. We won and they gave us a standing ovation. It was. [01:00:11] Speaker A: Dope.

[01:05:22] Speaker C: 10. [01:05:22] Speaker B: 11. I'm. [01:05:23] Speaker A: Rocking. I'm. [01:05:23] Speaker C: Rocking. Tone. They probably was giving him. [01:05:24] Speaker B: Calls. That's what I'm saying. I don't know who started on who, but I know him. And Mike was, though. That was those. That was the matchup for sure. That was all two and. [01:05:30] Speaker A: Three. So it was either one was four for ten. Ship was four for. [01:05:35] Speaker C: Ten. I had a good team that. [01:05:36] Speaker B: Year. That's what I'm. [01:05:37] Speaker C: Saying. It wasn't like. It was just. Who did they play after that? I don't. [01:05:40] Speaker B: Know. They went to the four. I think they beat Kansas after that. [01:05:42] Speaker C: Right? [01:05:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Yes, they. [01:05:44] Speaker C: Did. We never played Kansas or. [01:05:46] Speaker B: Carolina. Kansas. [01:05:47] Speaker C: Next. We never played Kansas. [01:05:48] Speaker B: Carolina. It was two years in a row. We just missed them. Because my freshman year, Kansas lost and we won, and we would have played them, but they lost. Now my sophomore year, they won and we lost, so we ain't get to play them, mind you. I knew Russell Robinson from New York. He was in the back court with Mario Chalmers. So we went to eat and all that out there in Cali, my AAU coaches took us to eat. We sitting there, you know what I mean? Chilling, kicking it, talking about, yo, we both got a handle business. So we play each other. Talking about how last year we both missed the opportunity to play each other. And it still didn't go like that, but he wound up getting a national championship. Not that year, but that year after. So that was. [01:06:23] Speaker C: Dope. You know what I. [01:06:23] Speaker B: Mean? Yeah, Cali was dope. We got a lot of the per diem. Was crazy to go across the country like that. The money was. [01:06:28] Speaker C: Good. I know. It had to be. [01:06:30] Speaker B: Free. [01:06:30] Speaker A: P.S. and that was what?
