[00:00:23] Speaker C: I told you.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: All we gotta do is. You can at the end of the season. Let's pull my clips back up. I was like, yo, Auburn, I gotta get it done.
[00:00:32] Speaker C: Get it done for me.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: It's a little battered around.

There you go.
[00:00:51] Speaker A: Get centered.
[00:00:52] Speaker C: I don't want you to be looking at the clip like, man, I'm not even.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: I know.
My wife was like, yo, get in the middle. Why are you doing that?
[00:00:59] Speaker C: So I had to get right.
[00:01:01] Speaker A: You know, that's my. You know, that's my hair. My hair. Makeup production team.
[00:01:07] Speaker C: I'm mad I ain't got my headset. Nick, you can just start it. I don't know where you want to go, how you want to start it next.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Start off with Pitt and I'll keep us rolling.
[00:01:15] Speaker C: All right. It's your world.
[00:01:19] Speaker B: Welcome February 17th. Welcome to the Pit Legends podcast. I'm joined today my fellow pit legends, Gary McGee, Jermaine Dixon. Lots to talk about today, lots to catch up on. We missed last week.
We saw our pit boys go one and four in the past 10 days, but finally breaking a four game losing streak, winning with a big win against Miami without Jalen Lowe.
There's some experts still have us first four out. You know, last four in. We're still kind of on that bubble. What do you guys think are the chances of us making postseason tournament?
[00:01:59] Speaker C: Go ahead, G.
[00:02:03] Speaker A: As far as getting an automatic bid, we have a lot of work to do with little time left. We need to grab some wins. Start with Syracuse tomorrow. That's a. That's a big game for us at home. We beat them on the road a couple weeks ago.
I think it's a team that we can definitely beat.
They pounded us on the glass the first time we played, so we control the glass. Hopefully we have Jalen Lowe back. That's going to be big. Dunn is out now with a season ending injury, which is really tough. It's a really big blow for us to take right now, especially at this point in the season we just going to have to have guys step up. They gotta have to step up, make shots, make plays, defend the home court. We at the crib, at the zoo. We got to defend home court, get a win and we got to see where to, you know, see where the chips fall. After that.
It's still, it's still, you know, still chance. Like you said, first four out, Joel and already had us I think believe first four out, the last, the last time he did it or something like they still talking about us. So wins are important right now. And then we have the conference tournament that'll be coming up soon.
We have opportunities. It's not over till it's over. So we definitely have chances to get into the tournament. You know, I still have hope and you know I'm saying hoping the guys and coach Capel and the rest of the staff.
[00:03:20] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I'm with G. I've been saying all year, college basketball wide open.
It's unfortunate that we put ourselves in this situation. I think coming into, coming into the new year we were, they was looking at us like you just said G is probably a top 5C, top 4C's, something like that. And you know, was supposed to be a weaker year in the acc. You know, we kind of let down a little, but a lot actually not a little. We let down a lot. But going forward we win these games.
Hopefully the guys don't have their head down. We win these games, build some momentum going into the ACC tournament and, and then when we get, get down to. Was it Raleigh this year?
[00:04:12] Speaker A: I believe so. Yeah.
[00:04:13] Speaker C: We get down to Raleigh, I think we can win this. I think we win.
I would love to win it. I would love to win the acc. But we going to win a streak now and, and we can get to that championship game or right before the championship game.
I think we can go in the tournament and you know, it sucks that we lost injuries, injuries is killing us right now. But we pulled off again win against Miami.
You know, Miami obviously not really good. I don't even know if they got five wins in a conference.
We have two, two wins. Yeah, Miami's not good, but that's a win that we need to get a jump started. And I like I've been saying, you know, I wanted to see him play. I like Brandon Cummings and I thought he played well. He didn't shoot well and it's his first time starting as a freshman. But I thought he played, I thought he played the game solid. I think Ish stepped up his play a Lot in that game. And he was huge.
[00:05:14] Speaker D: He was huge.
[00:05:16] Speaker C: Yeah, big time. He stepped up, looked like a Maryland guy, but that's what we do.
The kid from.
I don't want to say his name wrong.
Yes.
[00:05:30] Speaker A: 52.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: 52. 52.
Looking good out there.
[00:05:37] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, he had it. Looking good, man. He had a strap out. You know, he played great.
See my number back out there in the Pitt on the front. But yeah, he played great.
[00:05:47] Speaker C: You know what's crazy? I was wondering how Caper was going to do it. Having low out. I was wondering who was going to get those minutes and I think they kind of.
They play.
He probably played like 30 minutes off the bench and he played solid.
Say his name again.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: Delavich. How you say his name?
Delilah?
[00:06:15] Speaker C: My bad. I. I'm sorry, I can't get your name right. I'm bad with names. I'm bad with names. But he, he was solid. I don't know what he shot. I don't know.
But his play, he. He's aggressive and, and that was good to have. That was good to see. See that? And he's a freshman too, right?
[00:06:33] Speaker A: Yes, he's a freshman too. 6 for 13, 28, 28 minutes. 2 for 6 from 314 points.
[00:06:40] Speaker C: Yeah, he was, he was solid.
I think with injuries. Injuries suck, but it brings out, you know, the next man has to step up and when we get low back, hopefully this would be good for. For those two guys, our two freshmen to step up when we need them leading into the ACC tournament.
[00:07:04] Speaker B: So who do you guys think should get those minutes? You know, that dones out between Delilah Cummings, who you think?
[00:07:11] Speaker C: I think they're going to split it. I think. I think it's going to be how I think they're going to split. I think. I think Brandon's going to get it first. I think he's going to get the first shot at it. And then however they, however they playing in the game, I think that's how it's kind of like Brighton and Gil, how you do. Whoever had the high hand or whoever's playing the best right is low. My bad. Nick is low. Supposed to be back next game, I think. Yes, it was a concussion, right? Concussion protocol, you know, play the next game.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: I'm not sure how he's feeling. Whoever got the scoop, but.
Okay, we got the pit recap out the way. Let's talk about the rest the college basketball. Another great weekend of college basketball. Probably the biggest game was the in state rivalry, Auburn versus Alabama. 1 2. Usually that's a Football game everybody's excited about. But now. 1 verse 2 that was a great basketball game we saw. Is Auburn separating themselves as Auburn and the rest of the country? Do you think they've proven that they are hands down the best team and pretty much unbeatable?
[00:08:27] Speaker C: Yes, me, I think so. I don't know if unbeatable is the word, but I think they are hands down the best team.
And it's. It starts with. With Broom. He. He's. He's the player of the year. To me. I. You give it to him, right? You give it to him. If they want to give out the award right now, just hand it to him. As long as they're winning, which they will, he's getting the award.
[00:08:52] Speaker A: You think it's things that. You think. Is that cut and dry. I mean, for them, I must say. Cooper flag still ball and they right there.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Cooper Flag might have 20 already. He's playing right now right there and.
[00:09:05] Speaker A: He'S got Cooper flag right now. Live stats.
Let's pull the live stats up. What are you doing right now?
[00:09:10] Speaker C: Go ahead. I. Listen, I'm. I'm not mad at you saying that, but Brum been doing it from the start to now. Like, he has not had. He has not wavered. His. Has been consistent today. COOPER since the ACC, he been killing.
[00:09:27] Speaker A: They. They went in 20 against Virginia. It's over now.
[00:09:31] Speaker C: He.
[00:09:31] Speaker A: He didn't do. He didn't go too crazy. Just a solid 17 and 14. I mean, he didn't.
[00:09:36] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:09:37] Speaker A: I don't know what we want from the kid. He's a freshman.
[00:09:42] Speaker C: He didn't go too crazy.
[00:09:43] Speaker A: Just.
He's out there cooking. Huh.
[00:09:48] Speaker C: Kuba flags. Kuba flags is a problem.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: But Broom, I get what you're saying.
[00:09:54] Speaker C: He's been consistent for the whole year. And yeah, I don't. I was. I was looking forward to that Auburn and Alabama game just to see.
I wanted to see. Arbor's been tested because the SEC is thick, but I wanted to see that game because I think they are two of the top three teams in the country right now, including Duke.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: There should be one seats. They still.
[00:10:22] Speaker C: Yes.
Even with Auburn losing to Alabama.
[00:10:29] Speaker A: You mean Alabama losing or Albert.
[00:10:30] Speaker C: No, Auburn lost before they play Alabama.
[00:10:33] Speaker A: Was it Florida? No, it wasn't.
[00:10:36] Speaker C: Whoever it was, Auburn lost. And I was like. I was like, damn, Auburn about to lose the number one cr. Okay, it was Florida.
[00:10:42] Speaker A: They lost by dub by 11 to Florida. They was down.
[00:10:45] Speaker C: Yeah. I was like, damn, Auburn's going to lose the number one seed.
So Duke is going to get it in Arvis. Auburn state number one after that. I mean, number one ranking. Number one ranking. And it's.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: Duke lost, too. That's because Duke lost, too.
[00:10:58] Speaker C: No, Duke lost after that.
Yeah, after the rankings came out. But Auburn State number one because they. Everyone knows they're clearly the best team, bro.
[00:11:09] Speaker A: Like, who would you say have a better supporting cast? Auburn or Duke? From Cooper Flag or Broom? I would say Broom has a better supporting cast.
[00:11:19] Speaker C: Oh, yeah? Yeah, for sure.
[00:11:20] Speaker A: So they kind of make his job easier. Cooper Flag.
[00:11:22] Speaker C: Really?
[00:11:24] Speaker B: Duke is loaded.
[00:11:25] Speaker A: You think so?
[00:11:27] Speaker C: Loaded.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: I wouldn't go that far.
[00:11:29] Speaker B: Big man.
[00:11:29] Speaker C: They got the best in the country, huh?
[00:11:33] Speaker B: Big African kid. He's. I think he's the best true big in the country. Best five.
[00:11:39] Speaker D: Whoa.
[00:11:41] Speaker C: We just talked Julian. Jimmy Reese is killing. I'm not saying Jim is the best bid.
[00:11:46] Speaker D: I like.
[00:11:47] Speaker A: I like Hunter Dickinson over him. I like Julian.
[00:11:50] Speaker C: Stop.
What guy? I will kick you. Don't make me fly. I will fly to Indiana right now.
[00:11:57] Speaker A: I like Hunter Dickinson. What do you want me to say? I do.
[00:12:00] Speaker D: I don't.
[00:12:00] Speaker A: I don't think the kid from. I don't think he's better than Hunter. Hunter. Hunter's not, you know, he's not a. A strong player. He's kind of, you know, kind of. You would probably say he's kind of soft this game. He's more skilled.
[00:12:11] Speaker C: Gaka, he's got guy.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: He's skilled. But he's giving you 17 and 10. What do you want him to do? He's the man and he's the man.
[00:12:22] Speaker C: Is he averaging 17 and 10?
[00:12:23] Speaker A: Big, big fellow on Duke is not the man. He don't get all the attention he gets.
[00:12:29] Speaker C: Who would be a better pro, huh?
[00:12:31] Speaker B: Who would be the best pro?
[00:12:33] Speaker C: What's the guy from Duke?
[00:12:34] Speaker A: Of course. It's clear. But that. That doesn't make who's better right now in college.
[00:12:38] Speaker C: Yeah, okay.
[00:12:39] Speaker A: Yeah. 100.
[00:12:39] Speaker C: Dixon, 1710. Hunter Dixon on average 10 rebound. But he might. He might. He might.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: Y'all got me get digging in my Batman stat, man. Give me that.
[00:12:52] Speaker C: Let me not be disrespecting.
[00:12:54] Speaker A: You say what you think he averaging?
[00:12:56] Speaker C: Probably about. He probably averaging nine.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: Okay, maybe not rebounds, but what you think points he averaging, though?
[00:13:03] Speaker C: Oh, he might. 16, 16 and nine. 16 and nine.
[00:13:07] Speaker A: 16 and nine point five. That rounds to 10, brother. You know that. You know how we do.
[00:13:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it's 9.5. Yeah, that's 10 in my book.
[00:13:17] Speaker C: Hey, man, that's 10. We definitely rounding up.
[00:13:21] Speaker A: If you want to know something, just ask me. I got you. I'm telling you before I even have to look it up, I'm telling you. And I don't even want to go to this thing. It's probably 8 and 8.
[00:13:27] Speaker C: That's.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: But I mean, for Duke, disco is, you know, 8 and 8 spine.
[00:13:32] Speaker C: But he's going to come up now. I'm not saying he's better. I don't think. I don't think he's better than. I think Nick went out on the ledge and say he's the best.
[00:13:39] Speaker A: I. I just had to make sure. We got to make sure everything.
[00:13:45] Speaker C: Draft stock. He's definitely. He's definitely.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: You're in.
[00:13:49] Speaker B: You're in front office meetings like come on manual.
[00:13:54] Speaker C: But let's continue, man. Drafting more potential than anything. That's facts.
[00:13:59] Speaker A: Definitely fat age. That's gonna factor in because he's only 18 or 19. Hunter Dickinson gotta be 23.
And that's another thing about Broom, too. He's what, 22, 23.
[00:14:12] Speaker C: 22.
[00:14:13] Speaker A: 23. Probably 22. He might be only four years in.
[00:14:17] Speaker C: He might be 22.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: Yeah, but.
[00:14:20] Speaker C: But when we speaking, Broom is way better than Hunter Dickinson. Way better than Hunter Dickinson. Way better than Hunter Dickinson. Craftier.
[00:14:32] Speaker A: I like, bro. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna hate on this game. He's tough, lefty. It's pretty smooth, you know, I like. He gets on that glass. He cleans the glass still, huh?
[00:14:42] Speaker B: I think he's still kind of hurt. Banged up, because he's.
[00:14:44] Speaker C: Yeah, he is.
[00:14:45] Speaker A: He's flipping around, you know what I'm saying? He's not as. He's not as efficient as he had been. He was before the injury.
[00:14:51] Speaker C: He's definitely not as efficient.
[00:14:53] Speaker A: So he's been getting. He's been on his main dicks and getting shots up with that left hand.
[00:14:59] Speaker C: I'm about to say this is how left he's doing. You know what I'm saying?
[00:15:03] Speaker A: Getting his volume shooting up, going.
[00:15:06] Speaker C: I get it going.
[00:15:06] Speaker A: And sometimes he get it going like.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: You get it going too. That's how. Hey, hey. We grew up in an era where volume shooting was the thing, though. So for me, that's how it was.
You know what I mean?
[00:15:16] Speaker A: You got.
[00:15:18] Speaker C: Our guys was Kobe and AI and yeah.
[00:15:23] Speaker A: Ain't pass gas.
[00:15:26] Speaker C: What was they, 44, 45, 43.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: I mean, AI was like a 41, 42. Kobe was in their 40s.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: So yeah, it was a loud 41%.
[00:15:38] Speaker A: It was a lot of bricks going up. Let's not.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: Hey, you be disrespectful to AI, but we, you know, what we talking. We talking.
[00:15:46] Speaker A: I don't be disrespectful to AI.
AI is a great, you know, he's a great. It's a Hall of Famer, but he's a Jack and he was in.
[00:15:55] Speaker C: But he was.
[00:15:55] Speaker A: He had to, he had to do what he had to do. So I respect it.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: So let's get to talking about our roots, Big east basketball. It's been no stranger on the topic board for us. St. John's we talked about him earlier. We've talked about him every single week. And it seems like, you know, we're underselling them every time we talk about them because they keep climbing to a new height.
Are they a top five team in the country right now?
[00:16:23] Speaker A: For me, they're top five.
I've watched them the last two games. I'm highly impressed with them. Great, great, great coach team. Rick Matino. I mean, we, we, we played against him. We've been on the other side, you know, other side of him and his, no, his coaching. His. I actually, I actually played against him when he was coaching overseas. So I've seen that even in the pro level.
Yeah, he was coaching Panther Nikos when I was in Greece. So, yeah, I was on. That's when I was on.
Yeah, I'll play for ours. Was that. I think that's when he was it. He was. That's when he was at. Yeah, he was there when I was at ars. So, yeah, so that's when I played.
[00:17:04] Speaker C: But who's the top five teams right.
[00:17:06] Speaker A: Now is Duke, Duke, Alabama, Auburn. Well, Auburn, Alabama, Duke, Florida. Florida's good.
[00:17:17] Speaker C: Florida is in the top five.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: I believe so. I like, I like the. Speaking of Florida, I like the Clayton. Clayton Jr. That is named Great got game. I like him.
[00:17:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Florida.
[00:17:28] Speaker A: Well, you got, you got it, Nick, what is it?
[00:17:29] Speaker B: Auburn, Florida, Duke, Alabama, Houston. Top five.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: You got my four top season overall season there.
[00:17:40] Speaker C: Yeah, St. John's plays like a top five team. I think. I, I don't think you can put them top five, though. Maybe six. They could, they could be riding the outside. Who's six? What's the 10? What's the 10?
[00:17:55] Speaker B: Okay, 10. Coming in at number 10 is St. John's nine Texas Tech definitely above down. Iowa State above them. Seven Texas A M, six Tennessee.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: Tennessee's dropping five.
[00:18:12] Speaker B: Houston.
[00:18:13] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: Four Alabama, three Duke, two Florida. One Opera.
[00:18:18] Speaker C: Yeah, they top six. They're top 16. But I did say at the top of the year, I said, hey, St. John's look good. I'll give Levance his credit. Levance was like, y'all. I watched him. But I said it.
Even though they had a tough loss of Creighton at the time, I said. I said St. John's not bad.
I don't want to toot my own.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: Horn, but I did say that they're. They would be my Final Four pick. I did say that.
[00:18:47] Speaker A: I'm glad. I'm glad. Hey, gladly on here, he'd be gloating right now. Y'all crazy right now with the same job. But I am, too, though.
[00:18:55] Speaker C: They nice.
[00:18:56] Speaker A: I watched them the last couple games. They're good. Luis Jr. The big fella, number 24. I can get his name right. The big fella rebounds.
[00:19:06] Speaker C: Good God.
[00:19:07] Speaker A: Dreads. He's nice player. Then Richmond. Is it? Richmond. Richmond.
[00:19:12] Speaker C: I don't. I don't. Don't give me the line, but I'll say this. I just said. I meant to put it in the chat. I just seen a clip of RIP Rick Patino. He was going off on his team. I'm not word for word, but it was along the lines of, y'all. Y'all mad about missing shots. Play some defense, like so.
[00:19:33] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:19:33] Speaker C: That mindset. And I. I said about my man up in UConn, Dan Hurley. But Patino, Rhett, he gonna get. He gonna get his guys going. Look, you want to say something so.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: Bad about UConn, because the Dan Hurley hype is just. It's just getting too much for me, man. Come on, man. He capping after the games they beat. Who was it?
[00:19:54] Speaker C: Crayon?
[00:19:55] Speaker A: Was that Crayon?

[00:20:47] Speaker A: I watched the full game against St.
[00:20:48] Speaker C: John's they should have won.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: Walk them down. Walk them down.

[00:21:06] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:21:07] Speaker A: We played. We played in the area where we.
[00:21:08] Speaker C: Didn'T lose at home.
[00:21:09] Speaker A: But okay. All I got you. I hear you.
[00:21:11] Speaker C: Does sound be at home my senior year. Just. I'm busy at home my senior year. Was that Chris Wright? Huh?
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Only lost like Chris Wright.
[00:21:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:21] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:21:21] Speaker A: He was cooking you.

[00:21:27] Speaker A: Oh, that's you. Hey, hey, hey.
That's his favorite line.
[00:21:32] Speaker B: Who's your assignment though?
[00:21:33] Speaker C: Who was your assignment? Austin Free usually guard the best player.
[00:21:37] Speaker B: That's all I'm saying.
[00:21:39] Speaker C: I didn't go Austin. I was going. What's the Dawson kid?
[00:21:43] Speaker A: Clark. Was it Clark?
Why didn't you tell Dixon? Yo, I want to guard. I want to guard Freeman or.
[00:21:50] Speaker C: Right.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: That was the guys what happened. You could have did that. He would have listened.
[00:21:54] Speaker C: I bet you we pull up the stacks.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Nick.
[00:21:56] Speaker D: You got it.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: You got it today.
[00:21:58] Speaker C: I bet you if we pull up the stats, Clark was averaging more points than both of them.
[00:22:02] Speaker B: Okay, what do we need to look up exactly?
[00:22:06] Speaker A: I got a Nick. I got a Nick. I get back in the stat department.
[00:22:11] Speaker C: 2010, Georgetown versus Pitt.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: But.
[00:22:17] Speaker C: Or just by Georgetown team. I bet you Clark was averaging more points than them.
But Clark was making them go.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: I think Freeman was their best player at the time or the average in the most. He was their go to guy.
[00:22:34] Speaker C: I'm just gonna pull up that game.
Pull up that game.
Crazy. I remember that. I'm gonna. I'm. I'm gonna get Chris to come on here and talk with us about that too.
[00:22:44] Speaker A: We lost at home.
Number nine.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Didn't know who was gardening.
[00:22:49] Speaker C: I'm afraid we got in top 10.
They did all that hating on us. Then we got in the top 10.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: No wonder we lost. Jesus.
Y'all can hit nothing.
[00:23:03] Speaker C: What was it? What you shoot? I don't know. Something. Talking crazy.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: I was 3 for 3 from the field. 1 for 1 for the free throw line. But five rebounds, one block, one steal, one assist.
[00:23:14] Speaker C: Our rebounds is ass. Don't just skip over who's their center.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: Brad was glad they had Monroe.
[00:23:19] Speaker C: Nah, damn.
[00:23:20] Speaker A: They had Julian.
[00:23:22] Speaker C: Julian Vaughn.
[00:23:23] Speaker A: You got a good game. 11 and 5, 4 for 10 though. He was Jacking that. I'm taking it.
[00:23:27] Speaker B: Greg Moreau was four shots.
[00:23:29] Speaker A: We had the big Monroe, right? Yeah, they had great Nick.
Come on, man. What you think?
[00:23:37] Speaker C: Come on now.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: What's going on now? What are we talking about right now?
Chris Wright, 11 for 17. The 27 points. Why you didn't switch off on it? Obviously he got hot.
[00:23:49] Speaker C: I can't control what Dixon wants.
[00:23:51] Speaker A: You can say, yo, Dixon, I got him. I'm a senior.
[00:23:54] Speaker C: I probably did.
[00:23:55] Speaker A: You didn't say that.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: We got.
[00:23:57] Speaker C: What did Clark do? What Clark do?

[00:28:02] Speaker A: This. We finally got some games while playing. Yeah, we just have some games.
I said, you found some games we talking about because we talking about Maine was scared to guard Chris Wright. When we played Georgetown at the crib. He gave us 27 main. Main always do that. Only time we played top score. He's like, oh, I got the other guy.
[00:28:21] Speaker C: That's what top score for that team.
I wish we could look up at that time now.
[00:28:35] Speaker A: We can look up at that time.
[00:28:36] Speaker C: I'm just looking.
[00:28:38] Speaker A: Austin Freeman Average 16 or 17. Raymond Row Average 16. Chris Wright Average 15. Clark Average 10 and a half. What are you talking about?
[00:28:46] Speaker C: Why was I on clock?
[00:28:49] Speaker A: Are you switching 1 through 5? We probably got some of them buckets we pull, the stats come up.
[00:28:57] Speaker C: But I. Maybe I was on Austin. I don't know. I wasn't on Chris though. I know I wasn't going Chris.
That's why Brad Austin. That's why I think BR was on Austin.
I don't know. But don't. Don't ever say I'm never scared.
Hey, at least. At least Lee came in with his pick gear on. He did something with him.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: You haven't missed much. But I do have is PITA NCAA tournament team right now.
[00:29:30] Speaker D: Right now. No, no, they're not in right now. Hell, no.
[00:29:38] Speaker C: What do we got to do to get in?
[00:29:43] Speaker D: We gotta run the table and we gotta win.
We gotta make it to the championship. I think in ACC tournament.
[00:29:55] Speaker A: Same thing.
[00:29:56] Speaker C: I said.
[00:29:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: With the rest of the schedule that we're playing the bottom of the acc.
[00:30:01] Speaker A: I mean, we.

[00:30:03] Speaker A: If we ran the table right now.
[00:30:05] Speaker B: Louisville will be a big win, go a long way.
[00:30:07] Speaker A: We got those six wins. We'll be 21 to 10, and we'll be 12 and eight in conference. That's the same record as it was last year.
[00:30:17] Speaker D: That's crazy. And that's what I'm saying.
[00:30:20] Speaker A: And we won, what, one game in the tournament?
[00:30:22] Speaker D: No, we ain't making.
[00:30:25] Speaker A: No.
[00:30:25] Speaker D: We won one and then lost.
[00:30:30] Speaker A: It's crazy.
[00:30:31] Speaker B: They snubbed us last year.
[00:30:32] Speaker D: That was crazy.
Blake got nasty pros.
[00:30:41] Speaker C: We got some pros. People got some pros. How many pros Cable got from you?
[00:30:45] Speaker A: We talked about last time.
One, one Champagne.
[00:30:49] Speaker D: They got four. Oh, Champagney. Mo. The acting, right? That count still? He'd be back and forth.
You got Bug and you got Blake.
That's what I was saying, too. I know the fans be killing him. They'd be all in my Twitter wiling on him. But it's like he got froze, too. Like, I mean, I get y'all. I hear y'all. I can't say that.
[00:31:10] Speaker A: You know how fans is they. You know fans. They be wanting them results.
[00:31:13] Speaker D: I just want to say something to them, but I'm like, I ain't giving that to them on Twitter. Yeah, I'm on cable side anyway, but I just wanted to subscribe.
[00:31:22] Speaker A: Yeah, definitely.
[00:31:23] Speaker D: I'm on our. And write that in the comments. I answer them on YouTube.
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Lee, we've been telling them all year. Is St. John's top five in the country.
[00:31:33] Speaker D: I ain't gonna front. That was a bad loss to Villanova. They snuck. That was. That's because your man throwing up and doing all kind of.
I put some voodoo on them. They bounce back, though, and be craying. But that's. They. I'm still riding with them. Yeah, they right, son. They all right, man.
[00:31:50] Speaker C: They are.
[00:31:53] Speaker A: They're good, man. I watched, like I told, man. I watched them walk. Walk Yukon down, like, talk to him.
[00:32:03] Speaker D: What's up with bro? No matter what Hurley said, they're done. Yeah, they're done. Yeah, you're right.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: You're doing antics like, man, come on.
[00:32:11] Speaker C: What I got.
[00:32:12] Speaker D: I don't work no more, man. It ran out of. It ran out. It ran out.
[00:32:15] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not. It's not working.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: You still stand on them going to the final four. Because you said it.
[00:32:22] Speaker C: Standing on it. I'm standing on it.
[00:32:24] Speaker D: Oh, now you're crazy.
[00:32:26] Speaker A: Hey, first round exit, maybe one game. Maybe they might win one. Depending on where they get seated, they could probably get.
[00:32:33] Speaker C: Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Because I just said. I actually said this to my homeboy. As long as. And I said it to y'all. As long as they not on the side with Auburn, I think they can get to the final four if they.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: They're not beating Duke. Stop.
[00:32:46] Speaker C: They can beat. Dude, stop it.
They can beat Duke.
[00:32:52] Speaker A: I don't got them beating Alabama. I don't got them beating Duke.
[00:32:55] Speaker C: Alabama. Alabama.
[00:32:57] Speaker A: I don't got. I don't got them beating Houston.
[00:33:00] Speaker C: They can be Houston.
[00:33:02] Speaker A: They can't beat him. But I don't. I don't beating them, can they. They can't beat St. John's they about.
[00:33:10] Speaker C: To be St. John's coming up when.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: They play St. John's that's in the garden, too. I don't like him.
[00:33:16] Speaker C: I don't like it when they play.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: St. John's Senior Night.

[00:33:44] Speaker C: Oh, Sunday game. So that got to be a noon game?
Yep, noon on Fox. I'll be tuned in.
[00:33:55] Speaker B: Another. Another big win for Maryland today. Looks like they're on the rise. They're ranked 21st now after this win against Michigan. I think they, you know, they're gonna climb up the ladder. How do we feel Maryland is going to finish up? We think they have a good chance of making a run.
[00:34:12] Speaker C: I like this.
[00:34:12] Speaker A: I like the team. I've been. I've been checking them out a lot recently. Two good bigs playing well together. Greece Queen, the freshman's playing well. Gillipsey, was it? Glyphsy, I think, right? Gillipsey, good guard. Rice, the other guard. They got a good team, man. It's five. Five starters all averaging double figures, sharing the ball, playing well, getting stops. A good. Really good rebounding team due to recent Queen. I like their chances. Good guard play. They got a good. A good team and a good shot. I want to see how they do in the Big Ten tournament. So be interesting.
[00:34:48] Speaker C: Yeah, Merlin Marlin's good. Maryland is good. But, you know, I. I told y'all dq and I try to come at me. Hey, your man ain't playing. Well, guess what?
[00:35:01] Speaker D: Come at you. We just.
[00:35:04] Speaker C: Came at me. Look at him now.
Going crazy on the mountain.
[00:35:08] Speaker A: Speaking of. Hold up.
[00:35:09] Speaker C: I got.
[00:35:09] Speaker A: Because I got.
[00:35:10] Speaker C: I mean.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: Go ahead. I was about to say this. Off target. Because I just thought about it. I'm gonna forget.
[00:35:15] Speaker C: Say it.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: You know what I'm gonna say.
[00:35:17] Speaker C: No, I don't.
[00:35:17] Speaker A: 30.
[00:35:18] Speaker C: 33.
[00:35:18] Speaker A: He dropped 33. Y'all talk.
[00:35:20] Speaker C: All that.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: All that talk about Trey Johnson.
[00:35:22] Speaker C: He got it back. Take that back.
[00:35:27] Speaker D: Why did you allow it, man? You should have just.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: That was never gonna come up today.
[00:35:38] Speaker C: I thought he was going to stay in the Big Ten.
[00:35:40] Speaker D: I knew once he said it, I knew.
[00:35:42] Speaker C: Talking pack.
[00:35:43] Speaker D: We're here.
[00:35:44] Speaker B: Let's talk about it.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: No, we're not here, Nick. All the way to Texas. No, we're gonna talk about.
[00:35:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I forgot the power. I forgot the power rules.
[00:35:53] Speaker C: My bad.
[00:35:54] Speaker D: He couldn't wait to say that.
[00:35:57] Speaker C: Jesus Christ. This guy, he went to get. He went to get his off and then run out of there. Hey, but like I said, y'all talk crazy about dq. He's stepping up.
I Dark queen, though. It's funny because when I watch him some games, when he playing against a team that's like, nobody, he'd just be chilling like he'd be on cruise control when it's time to, like a big name that he goes to work when they. They just beat.
Who did it, bj. Damn.
[00:36:32] Speaker A: I can't remember now myself. Oh, they did good for me on my parlay, but I can't remember who it was.
[00:36:38] Speaker C: It was on Sunday.
[00:36:40] Speaker A: I got you all. Give me a second.
You played.
It was.
[00:36:50] Speaker C: I was. No, I was not good. It was before I was.
[00:36:52] Speaker A: Y'all about. Say I was.
[00:36:54] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's actually not a big game. But it wasn't a big game. But it was the freshman. Freshman. When all the friends. When they played Ruckus.
[00:37:02] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[00:37:03] Speaker C: When they play Ruggers. And it was funny because I. I don't know if Ricky. Ricky. Want me to say this, but I talked to Ricky. He was like. They was. They kind of looked past. He felt. Well, not that they did. He felt like they looked past Ohio State because they beat them and they lost Ohio State because they was looking forward to playing against Ace Bailey and. And Harper. But in that game, their queen 29. He led them 29 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists. All I'm saying is I don't think he should go to the league this year. All I'm saying, my man's a pro now. He's a pro. But to say that, though, I love. I love Maryland. Maryland is really good. Like G said, I think they got one of the best five top five in the country. Like, they are average double figures. They play well. They got good point guard and Gillespie and then. And then they got good shooters. And then they got two bigs that rebound well and play well off each other. You watch them, it looked like. Not on that level, but it looked like how Gasol and Bonham used to play with each other. I like them. The benches is not great, but I think. I think you can win with. I think you can win with a solid 5 and 2 subs. So I like Maryland. We'll see what they do in the Big Ten tournament, but I think they'll make a good run in tournament. In the NCAA tournament.
[00:38:28] Speaker D: Yeah, man. First and foremost, we never was hating on Derrick Queen. You definitely been high on them. We just pointed out, like, everybody. Everybody got a favorite. When they favorite don't play well, we just be like, you know, we saw that. That we wasn't really trying to bash Derrick Queen. We just wanted to let you know, we were well aware of when he didn't show up a couple of games. And, you know, Reese and them guys picked him up, which is what a team does. So, like, y'all guys said they're a really good team. Ricky posted it the other day on ig. How you want it? He had the whole starting five. All five guys averaging over double figures. It's just a good unit. Like you said, the bench is a little shaky, but got five guys averaging double digits in your starting lineup.
I'm pretty comfortable with that. I mean, I wish I had more, but I'm pretty comfortable with that.
I think they dropped, though, too, right? I understand that.
[00:39:17] Speaker C: Right.
[00:39:18] Speaker D: They went back without losing one time.
I was like, how they dropped? I see I missed that. Yeah, you see, I was.
[00:39:29] Speaker C: I was happy that they. They didn't take them out the top 25. And I was happy to see Yukon get bumped out of the top 20, 25. Even though I love you.
[00:39:36] Speaker D: Like, all right, they gotta go.
[00:39:38] Speaker C: I'm like, yeah, they got. They gotta go. They was letting them hang on for so long. I'm like, come on, bro. Like, this is crazy.
[00:39:44] Speaker D: You said that's.

[00:44:19] Speaker B: Put 10 teams in every year.
[00:44:22] Speaker C: We're not gonna listen to league because he had. I think we the overall number one seed.
[00:44:26] Speaker A: That was crazy.
[00:44:27] Speaker D: That was crazy.
[00:44:28] Speaker A: Yeah, that was early on.
[00:44:29] Speaker D: That was these early part days, you know.

Oh, I thought you said eight. That's why I thought you said eight.
Okay.
Andy might get in, though. Texas might get in, too.
[00:48:43] Speaker C: It might sneak in there.
[00:48:47] Speaker A: They got a big win in Kentucky. They. They in the first four out.

[00:49:27] Speaker A: I mean, we'll see. We 15 and 10 and then we. Oh, dang. SMU is 19 and 6, Chief.
[00:49:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:49:32] Speaker D: Oh, that was a good one. If we had to beat them. I didn't know they was that good.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: That was. It was between us and them.
[00:49:38] Speaker A: Florida State. We lost to them, too. Florida State above us. Did we play Georgia?
[00:49:43] Speaker C: Georgia Tech?
[00:49:44] Speaker B: No, we played them in the stretch, though. We played them.
[00:49:46] Speaker A: Okay. We beat Stanford, beat unc. Well, split with unc. SMU only once lost. Lost the weight.
We got some. We got some in the bottom.
[00:49:55] Speaker C: The bottom.
[00:49:55] Speaker A: You. We got. I think we got beat Boston College coming up.
[00:49:58] Speaker C: Or we like, see what Boston College at.
[00:50:01] Speaker A: They like. They the last second to last place.
[00:50:04] Speaker D: Good.
[00:50:04] Speaker C: We got to get that one.
[00:50:05] Speaker A: We need all.
[00:50:06] Speaker D: Get all these bum wins.
[00:50:07] Speaker A: Yeah, we got. We got Boston College, North Carolina State, Boston College, North Carolina State, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Syracuse. We got at Louisville. We can make it. We got it. You know, that's.
[00:50:18] Speaker D: What if we have. See, that's what I'm saying. This would have been a nice end of the season. We'd have been what we need to be. We could even if they respect it. Oh, this should have got us like 23 wins.
[00:50:27] Speaker A: We have been.
[00:50:28] Speaker D: I mean, how we fighting nail, son? I'm like, come on. I knew it, though. I said that when we first a couple weeks ago. First was like two or three. I'm like, oh, man, I'm nervous.
I was nervous. I knew it.
[00:50:47] Speaker B: That concludes another PIT Legends podcast. I'm your host, Nick Rivers. Join us next week. Big week coming this week. Let's do one more final thought, though. Big game tomorrow. Pitt versus Syracuse.
How important is this win tomorrow in Syracuse?
[00:51:05] Speaker A: The rest of the go ahead. You got it. You got it.
[00:51:07] Speaker D: It's very important. I mean, we down to the end of the season.
We need every win right now. We on the outside looking in, so we got to pretty much run the table. So it's one game at a time. We were able to beat Syracuse at Syracuse, so it should be a winnable game at home once again. It's basically the tournament for us now, so home ground should be there cheering us on, giving us everything they got. And the team should play as hard as they can because once again, this is for our NCAA bid every game from here on out. So looking forward to it. I think we should be able to win.
Good luck. Hail a pit.
[00:51:47] Speaker B: Let's say Jalen Lowe comes back, plays tomorrow. Let's factor him in. What are your predictions for Tomorrow's game?
[00:51:53] Speaker D: If JLo comes back, I'm even more confident. Even though we just won without him, of course, I think he's still one of the best players, one or two on the team. He comes back, obviously we're a better team with him than without him, so it increases our chances for a win.
[00:52:05] Speaker A: It's a very important game. I echo everything Levan said. It's a big game for us at home against Syracuse, a team that we, you know, normally play, play well against. So we need this win.
Six games, six regular season, six games left until the tournament.
[00:52:21] Speaker C: We need.
[00:52:22] Speaker A: Like you say, we need every single one of them. If JLo's back, expecting him to come out, you know, lead. Lead the charge.
Hopefully Cummings can give us some more good energy, more energy off the bench from. From the guy wearing that 52. The shooter. Get some shots for us. Papa can give us some rebounds off the bench.
Cam. Cam played pretty well last game. If he can give me some more. Some more minutes like that, I think we're gonna be in good shape, man. I'm looking for us to get a.
[00:52:49] Speaker C: Win tomorrow and then echo the same thing. Y'all saying we. We gotta win every game. Every game matter. Every game's important.
Like I said, if you love your. If you love your. You love your head coach, play. Play for him. Let's go get this win. You love your teammates, you love yourself. Hey, just show.
We gotta show that we want to be in this tournament. We.
We have pit pride. Like, it's a. It's a dip. It's a different atmosphere in Pittsburgh that. That flows around there. Like, even when you look at the Steelers, like, everyone said, they're not supposed to be good, regardless, they play hard. They bring it every night. And that's just what we have to do to basketball. Like, we have to bring it. I don't care if it's Syracuse, if it's North Carolina, Duke, no matter who it is, the rest. The end of this year, the rest of the season, we have to bring it if we want to get into that tournament. So good luck, fellas. Like Lee said, hella Pitt.
Let's go win the rest of the year.
[00:53:56] Speaker B: And that's another Pitt Legends podcast. Be sure to tune in next week. We'll recap all things.
[00:54:01] Speaker A: Pit. All things.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: College basketball. Make sure you link and subscribe. Have a good one.
[00:54:07] Speaker C: Yes, sir.
[00:54:07] Speaker D: Peace.
[00:54:08] Speaker C: Don't do that again.
