Power of 2 conferences and breaking records

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome to the to the Pit Legend podcast. I'm your host, Jermaine Dixon. To my left you got Gary McGee, fresh out of Anderson, Indiana. [00:00:08] Speaker B: Yes, sir. [00:00:09] Speaker A: The A. Yes, sir. That bumass Jersey behind him. [00:00:13] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, you see what time it is? It's a bang too. It's a body. He had to move out the way. [00:00:17] Speaker A: Next to him we got levance Fields from Brooklyn. The general got big shots behind him. [00:00:23] Speaker C: You see it? [00:00:25] Speaker A: Is that your high school picture? [00:00:26] Speaker C: That's my high school picture, man. Hall of Fame, man. It's a wearing. You know how we built Brooklyn? [00:00:30] Speaker A: Only because of hall of Fame. Keep my jokes to myself. [00:00:35] Speaker C: We all gotta pass, man. [00:00:37] Speaker A: On Saturday, Pitt took a tough loss. 82, 78 Louisville at home. We was on a 14 game winning streak. First loss in a while. Gee, what was your analysis of. Of the play we got from the bigs in the game? [00:00:50] Speaker B: My analysis of the bigs in the game, we didn't really get as much production as I would have liked. The twins didn't really give us much looking at it. They didn't score the ball. We got four points between the two of them. Cam, he had a decent game. He made some tough hook shots, some nice plays around the paint. Papa came off the bench, only played three minutes. Got an offensive rebound and a put back. That was cool. But all in all that we didn't get the production we needed. [00:01:14] Speaker A: We were out. [00:01:14] Speaker B: Rebounded 41, 26. That's just not going to get it done in the acc. Louisville team that's been playing pretty well, I think they were coming in on a winning streak, but we were at home so, you know, like to defend the home court at the peak. And we didn't really do a good job of that. Our bigs, you just gotta step up defensively. They gotta be more of a presence in the paint contest shots even if you don't block them. Do some more contesting. And rebounding is the main part that I would like to say. Our high rebounder was five from our bigs. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Who's that? Cam. [00:01:46] Speaker B: Cam had five rebounds, Cam. Five, three defensive rebounds. And when you get out rebounded, that's. That's a big part of the game. As y'all both know, we played. If we had a rebounding game, 41 to 26, it had been two on two blackout drill for 30 minutes. Get two in a row or you gonna be in a frying pan. So that's just what I've seen out of those guys in this game. And I feel like they can do that. It's nothing that they're asking them to do that they can't do. You know, just playing with a little more effort and a little bit more enthusiasm. You know, you can sneak and get a couple more rebounds. [00:02:16] Speaker A: When you're looking at who do you. You got Cam, you got the twins. Papa don't really play much. So you expecting more from Cam? Play 36. [00:02:24] Speaker B: I'm expecting more for Cam. He's on the floor 36 minutes. I'm expecting him to do more. He can score the ball. Transfer from Florida State. I'm expecting him to produce more, especially on the rebounding side of it. He has to be the biggest guy on the court, decently athletic. You know, you got to just have that. That hunger to go get a rebound. I mean, I'm expecting that out of him. With the Twins, I think they can rebound better, too. They had three and one, so we. [00:02:45] Speaker A: We went smart a lot because twin. 10 minutes. One minute. Popping three minutes. That's 14 minutes between them. Zach played a lot at. [00:02:54] Speaker B: A lot at the four. Yeah, he did a decent job. Six rebounds. That's not bad. Ask more. He played 40 minutes. What, 38 minutes? [00:03:00] Speaker A: Yeah, 38 minutes. I thought Cam was playing really well. I feel like we should involve him more in the offense and not saying it's right, but you were big. You know, if I ain't getting the ball, I ain't gonna give you everything I got. I might not give you everything on defense. Now, we actually guy you different, but y'all was a little different when the one was very different. But y'all went and got offensive rebounding. [00:03:24] Speaker B: For me back when I say for. I knew that's how I was going to eat. I was going to score offensive rebounds. I wanted to score. So I know that's number one way you can eat and you can stay on the floor. [00:03:33] Speaker A: You get extra. [00:03:34] Speaker B: Extra possessions, coach going to leave you on the court. And so that me seeing the stats. You get some extra possessions. Coach going to leave you on the court. When we was playing, I get some. Some rebounds. Dixon running box 35. [00:03:44] Speaker A: I give me a touch every once in a while. Box, exactly. Yeah, you. But even looking at it like. Like you said, 44, 31 rebounds when he had five offensive rebounds, you said they had. They had 18 or 17 offensive rebounds. [00:03:56] Speaker B: Louisville, 17 offensive rebounds. [00:03:57] Speaker A: Yeah, you're right. We. We definitely can't win like that. Leah, actually, I'll let you bounce. Bounce off of that as well. What do you think? What do you expect to see from the bigs to help us be productive in these games. Because I feel like we should have. We needed this win. Like coming off the Duke game where I didn't expect us to lose by 20, 25, 26. So I expected a better showing at home. [00:04:21] Speaker C: Like y'all both said, man, we. I just think we need a more physical presence down low. It's not a knock on them guys. I know they're playing hard, but we just need more. A lot of times our leading rebound is 5 to 6. With all due respect, I just feel like we need a guy that's going to go get 10 rebounds. Maybe you don't score, but that like you dominate on glass like. And I don't feel like we have that in the Louisville game. Obviously that's. I think that was what was the difference. Second chance opportunity. They all rebounded us 44 to 31 and they had 17 offensive rebounds if I'm not mistaken. You can't win like that. And it was a close game. We lost by four. And I think a large part of that was due to the second best opportunities they was able to get. Obviously. Guard Rain Smith, you shot the lights out. Seven from 11 from the three. So just once again back to your question. The bigs. I just think we need more physical presence down there also. What Gary said, we need guys to be down there. I mean if not blocking shots, contesting shots a couple times, I'm just seeing like they're going up our chest. Like I mean God's gonna make shots, man. Good college. That's why they in D1. But I just feel like, you know, you can just give them more or hard foul, man. I need to see a little bit more. I know we capable of it. I mean we've seen the guys when we was out there, we've seen the work they put in. So yeah, capable. They just gotta, you know, I mean just do a little bit more, that's all. [00:05:41] Speaker A: So even with, with that being said, low shot, finished with 24 points, six assists, two rebounds. Had 16 points, four assists, three rebounds. He shot four for six on the three done off the bench, played 30 minutes. He had 15 points, eight rebound, eight rebounds. Zach finished with eight and six. Our team is led by the gods. Like obviously this is what we know. It's been, it's been his way since Cape been a coach guard oriented team. Levance, what did you see from our guards in the game talking about Jalen. [00:06:14] Speaker C: Lowe and our guards once again when we talking about the Duke game and how if they're not if they both don't have good offensive games, we wouldn't have a chance and both didn't have good offensive games. And obviously we see how that game went against Louisville. I mean Jaylen Low had 24 points. I mean I don't think he played bad at all. I just feel like if I'm not mistaken he had 21 at the seven minute mark and then he was able to get. I think he was fouled in the three point play. So he got three free throws but that was like 130 in the game, maybe two minutes. So that is five minutes him out as Ali and scored at that point. I mean I think can't go that long without being able to get a bucket. And obviously I think issue was 5 for 12, didn't shoot horrible but you know, didn't have one of his better games either getting to the basket a couple plays. He usually finished, he didn't finish. And when our guard struggle, like you said, we are oriented. It just makes it hard for. Harder for us to win, you know because they're a lot of our, they produce a lot of our offense. Guys are not playing well. It could be a long night for us because I don't really know where else the offense come from outside of them two when they're playing well because when they're playing well, other guys play. [00:07:20] Speaker A: Well done as well. I think Dunn obviously he just came, he just came back from injury. Like I look at him and I see him as like I was telling y'all guys like I think he wants. He. He likes to get guys involved. You know he can hit shots as well. He shot, he shot 5 for 8, 3 for 4, 15 points. [00:07:41] Speaker C: Well, I forgot about that. My bad. Dunn, it was good to see done back out there off injury. He's definitely legs on them. My bad. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Go man. Yeah, I think he played well and like I told you, you know I want to see him in the starting lineup especially if we're gonna. My thing is and, and I said this to y'all before. We're going to. I think we're going to have to place. We're going to play small. I think that's just the way it is and I think we can play that way in the acc. I think he, he can be the guy that can facilitate the offense for us and it allows low and ish to just be scores what they, what they do best. [00:08:15] Speaker B: My thing with that, I was gonna say my thing with that I like, I like us playing spoil but I like also starting with this lineup and then going small, because sometimes you want to have a different look, you know what I'm saying? Because then you ain't gonna have nothing on the bench unless you just bring in Zach off the bench as far as scoring on the bench. Because, you know, I mean, last game, if you don't have done. You get four points off the bench. It's not. That's not enough production. You know what I'm saying? If you go. If you go small, that means you take one of the twin that starts, put him on the bench. So you have both those off the bench. Then you got Zach at the four. Done. You got the three guards done legged and low. And then you got Cam. [00:08:49] Speaker A: I'm with you. I. I just. I need to see. Done in the start lineup. I'm not gonna lie to you, man. [00:08:54] Speaker B: I mean, I understand that because he. He has some great, great production. He's been having great production on the season. He's a veteran. He's been around. [00:08:59] Speaker A: He's a vet. He's the vet. [00:09:02] Speaker B: He is the vet. [00:09:03] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Go to you. [00:09:04] Speaker B: I was gonna say, I feel like he's the leader of the team. That's probably the guy they listen to. One of the guys they listen to. [00:09:08] Speaker A: I think. [00:09:08] Speaker C: I think Jada Lo, he's the leader. [00:09:11] Speaker B: The full. Yeah, yeah. You think he's the voice, though. The voice too. You can be a leader without the voice. He's the voice too, from what I seen. [00:09:16] Speaker A: Yeah. I was about to say now I can. I can vouch for that. Like, watching him and I didn't see him a lot last year. I wasn't around as much, and they said, you know, he was. He was quiet. [00:09:25] Speaker B: But that's what I mean. [00:09:26] Speaker A: When I went up this summer doing TBT and I'm watching him, he definitely looked like he's okay. Everyone follow him. [00:09:33] Speaker B: I stand corrected. [00:09:34] Speaker C: But I just want to say the main. Like, I will agree with you that I see what you're saying with done being more of a take a back seat from scoring, he don't mind. Whereas JLo and ISH is obviously, I think they're score first rather than pass first, which is okay. And if I get why you were one done in the starting lineup, so they could kind of just focus more on and getting a shot then having to make plays for others where Duncan could help in that area. So, I mean, I don't think it's wrong either way, but I'm. I'm still. I'm still with Gary, but if we. [00:10:07] Speaker A: We do do it. How do we do it? How do you do that as far. [00:10:10] Speaker B: As bringing him to the starting lineup? Yeah, I mean, I feel like he's playing 30 minutes regardless. I don't think he. [00:10:15] Speaker A: I mean, so you do. You just do the. You do with Dixie thing. Just bring right off the bench quick. Yeah. [00:10:20] Speaker B: I mean, see how it goes. [00:10:22] Speaker C: Zach gonna play, too, so I think it don't matter, man, so. And I don't think he'll have a problem either if. If Capo took that route and said, all right, Darius Dunn is coming back into the lineup and Austin goes to the bench, I don't think he'd have a problem with either way. So that's a good thing right there. [00:10:37] Speaker B: Because like you said, both of those guys, they're going to play their minutes. That's the main. Y'all. As y'all know, that's the main thing. As long as you playing, you ain't really are. I'm not starting, but we want to start. But if you playing minutes, you playing, you're out there, you can produce. [00:10:50] Speaker A: I guess we do need to get something from the twins, so I guess it's good to leave them in the lineup because at the end of the. At the end of the year, we're going to need. We're going to need them. We're going to need some presence because I see us in the NCAA tournament. If we're going to be there, they got to be something for us. [00:11:07] Speaker B: I wanted to touch back on the points you said about Cam. You're right. They need to get him involved more. I've seen some plays where they ran pick and rolls, and he's a pretty good roller. He's a good roller. [00:11:16] Speaker A: Low. [00:11:16] Speaker B: Hit him with some nice little live pass over the top like twice. I think maybe we can get some more of those clear side pick and rolls, empty corner and get, you know, low going downhill to his left for, you know, he likes to pull up like that way and you have him rolling. Maybe we can get him some more looks. Cause, you know, straight posting is good at times, but, you know, that's not really the game as much. [00:11:36] Speaker A: Yeah, no, no, I don't. I don't want him straight posting. I do like some of his mid post, but nah, we don't need it all the time. Also, I want to touch on. I gotta. You know me, I gotta talk defense for sure. There's no reason why this guy is a straight shoe. Smith. What's his name? Rice Smith. [00:11:55] Speaker B: Make it Rain Smith. Rain Smith. [00:11:57] Speaker A: Make it Rain Smith. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Cause he was making it rain on us. I ain't gonn seven of them things. That's crazy. [00:12:04] Speaker A: I, I do, I trust, I trust the coaching staff. Like I like the coaching staff. I trust people. I, I like what they do. Coming off screens, guys coming free. What is it called? We used to. You got in the ball. Yeah. You trail the ball. You want to trail all the time. But when a guy come off and you got in the ball, if the ball come your way. [00:12:26] Speaker B: They don't. [00:12:27] Speaker A: Yeah, we don't stunt. We don't stunt. So now guys, guys come free and like, like Duke did this a lot to us. Coming flying off the big step up, they throw a backside lob off the big man. If we stunt the ball, if we stunt, then the big ain't got to hop as much. I just think our team defense has to be a lot better. There's no reason this guy was not putting the ball on the ground. There's no reason he should run off for 26 points. [00:12:52] Speaker C: It's crazy you say that because said that a play came right back into my mind and it was a big play. Out of bounds play. I believe we was up one. We just hit him. Ocean just hit the three. Like Gary was saying, I think we tip it out of bounds, just their ball OB out of bounds play. They run rain Smith off, off a screen to the ball, side of the. Out of bound and inches on the ball, guarding the ball. You know our first rule. Obviously we don't want to give him a layup, but you start there, two second Mississippi. And you shade to the corner of a guard coming off. And Wayne Smith came off naked. Cash. [00:13:25] Speaker B: That's in that. It was that in the left, left wing, left corner. [00:13:28] Speaker C: That was a big one especially. [00:13:31] Speaker B: And we set. [00:13:32] Speaker C: It's like we know, we know they're running some kind of action for them. So right there we just gotta, we gotta be more aware. Obviously HB and the senior, you know those, those are kind of plays. [00:13:41] Speaker A: And I feel like the coaches, my bad. I feel like the coaches are teaching it maybe. [00:13:47] Speaker C: You know what I'm saying? It happens, you know, I mean, unfortunately, you don't want it to happen, especially when it ends up in the loss. But when you look back at play, that's why, you know, we always say film, no lie, a lot of stuff. But when you see a play like that, you go, wow, we gave. All I had to do was come. You know what I'm saying? So that's something I'm sure they showed in the film room. And you know something? I'll be looking at moving forward, especially on if we're in a crucial situation again like that. When out of bounds play on defense, who we. [00:14:12] Speaker A: Who we got next? We play. [00:14:15] Speaker C: So I ain't even look forward after that. [00:14:17] Speaker A: I was like, Wednesday we going against Florida State. [00:14:22] Speaker C: Florida State, Florida State. [00:14:24] Speaker B: Y. [00:14:25] Speaker C: What they are? [00:14:26] Speaker A: They 11 and 5, 2 and 3 in conference. They struggling in conference. They easy non conference schedule, but that's the one we got to have got. [00:14:33] Speaker B: Tough road game, Tough place to play, too. So they got to come ready. [00:14:38] Speaker A: Definitely tough place to play. You know, I know about Tallahassee. I got a lot of buckets down there. [00:14:42] Speaker C: So we played down there in my senior year. We beat them, right? [00:14:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I went off down there. We was. We were. We was. Hey, hold up. [00:14:49] Speaker B: Do I need to pull up the box score? [00:14:50] Speaker A: You ain't gotta pull up the box score, but I'm gonna tell you this. No, no, I'm gonna tell you this. [00:14:54] Speaker C: We was 11 in our era. Was 20 on our team. [00:14:57] Speaker A: Yeah. Pull it. Pull it up, G.G. pull it up. Pull it up. [00:15:02] Speaker B: You can have a loud 11. [00:15:03] Speaker A: We was down. We was down. We was. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Time out. We was down like. We was down like eight. And I hit. I hit two back to back threes. [00:15:13] Speaker C: Yo, man, I'm not doing this right now. [00:15:14] Speaker A: I brought us back. I'm just saying. All right? I'm just letting you know what I did. No, I just want G to pull the stats. [00:15:20] Speaker B: You ready for it? Ready for the stats? Tell me when y'all ready. You want me. You want me to say the box score? I got y'all say the box score coming up. [00:15:29] Speaker A: Say start. Start with Sam and duan. [00:15:31] Speaker B: First loud 11. He had it. [00:15:33] Speaker A: I had 11. [00:15:34] Speaker B: 4 for 8, 2 for 5 for 3. 11 points, 3 rebounds and 20, 20, 24 minutes. [00:15:41] Speaker C: Who got that? [00:15:42] Speaker A: Me. [00:15:43] Speaker B: No, that's Jermaine Dixon. I'm not gonna say your stats this game. [00:15:48] Speaker A: You're right. [00:15:48] Speaker B: I'm gonna say him. Say it. I had eight fans feels the general 37 minutes, 1 for 10, 1 for 5, 3. Three points, four assists, three rebounds. [00:16:01] Speaker C: That's why I broke my foot. [00:16:02] Speaker A: No, you didn't break your foot while I was dead. Stop. You didn't break your foot while I was there. I broke my foot. [00:16:09] Speaker C: I broke my foot. I think about it now. When I think about it, that might. [00:16:13] Speaker A: Have been the game. No, it wasn't. [00:16:15] Speaker B: You bro. [00:16:15] Speaker A: It the year before that. [00:16:16] Speaker B: I was about say how we won that game. Then I seen it. Sam Young had 21 points. [00:16:20] Speaker A: No, I went off. [00:16:22] Speaker C: I had a big tipping. [00:16:23] Speaker A: I got a still at the end of the game. [00:16:26] Speaker C: I remember with that D. Blair had. [00:16:28] Speaker B: A 10 and 12. [00:16:30] Speaker A: That's what I thought I had G. What you doing? [00:16:33] Speaker B: You already stats 10 billion club, what they call it. 10 billion club. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Zeros across the board. Oh, you didn't play six minutes. Yeah. Get a rebound. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Did I get a foul? [00:16:45] Speaker C: He can't get nothing. [00:16:46] Speaker A: He just get a rebound. [00:16:48] Speaker C: That's why I'm one for ten. He got six minutes with me. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Oh, my God, he'll do that. [00:16:57] Speaker A: I'm mad we didn't play in the ac. [00:16:58] Speaker B: That would have been fun. [00:16:59] Speaker C: You think it was better? [00:17:00] Speaker B: Nah, Biggie's is better. [00:17:02] Speaker A: Biggie's definitely better. [00:17:03] Speaker B: At our time, the Big east was. Is the best conference. [00:17:05] Speaker A: But I just. I would. I would want to play down in Miami. [00:17:09] Speaker C: Oh, all right. [00:17:10] Speaker A: Maryland. Just. Just for me. [00:17:12] Speaker B: That's some nice. [00:17:12] Speaker A: It's a personal thing. [00:17:14] Speaker B: It's a nice trip, huh? [00:17:17] Speaker C: Should have went acc. [00:17:19] Speaker A: I could have. I was with y'all on my visit. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Yeah, you know. You know. You know, me and Brad always get to commit, so we always got. I think. I think Dixon still owes some nil for getting all those commits. I might have to hit his phone, so I'm good. [00:17:37] Speaker A: Speaking of ACC play, Cooper flag on Saturday, 42 points against Notre Dame. It's the ACC record. He was 11 for 14, 4 for 6 from the. From the 3, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 42 points. He has some highlights against Pitt, and he did look good, and he's been up and down this year, but that right there, that was impressive. Gee, we talked about him being projected number one pick. Projected number one pick. What did you think of his performance on Saturday? [00:18:05] Speaker B: I mean, I thought it was, you know, very Special. ACC record, 42 points. We know all the greats that came. [00:18:10] Speaker A: Through that, all the grace. [00:18:12] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? All the greats that went to Duke, you know what I mean? So it was just. It was special to see. I seen. I didn't get to watch the full game, but I seen the extended highlights of what he did. Especially him personally. His performance was amazing. He had some tough shots. They was running some like, isos for him. Clearsight isos. He had a nice, like, snatchback jumper on the right. I mean, I think the kid is really. Is a really good player. He lives up to the hype. Everybody wants to see this. And he put on the show, man, that Notre Dame team isn't the greatest, but I mean, it's still a team that he went out there and put that work in against. So, I mean, it was a really special performance. Duke is. Duke's a good team also. I want to say that, too. We didn't touch on it, but I watched some of their games. They're one of the best defensive teams I've seen. That helps them get. That helps them get to get on. Get on the break and run. He gets out on the break and he's special athlete. [00:19:02] Speaker A: I. I give you that. They definitely a good defensive team. I wouldn't say they're great team. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Defensively. [00:19:08] Speaker A: No, defensive. [00:19:08] Speaker B: I'm talking about defensively. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Defensively. [00:19:11] Speaker B: Defensively. Defensively. [00:19:12] Speaker A: Lee, what did you see from Cooper Flag at all the talks we had all week about him? [00:19:17] Speaker C: I'm impressed by him, man. I think not giving. I wasn't giving him enough credit for just playing the game the right way. He plays the right way, has a real good iq. He makes the right reads most of the time. For a guy his age with all the hype, you know, it could be a lot, man. And I think he plays the game the right way. That's why you see him have 42 on 11 for 14, because he's not forcing anything, not taking any bad shots, playing within the offense, within the team. And that's hard to. Once again, I know that's a coach's dream when you get a young player like that that is willing to play within the structure, when he's that talented. And once again, you hear all these things about him. So as I continue to watch him more, I got to tip my hat to him that he plays the right way. He's really. He's really good. He's a special player. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Do y'all. Do y'all think he can lead Duke to a national title? [00:20:08] Speaker B: For me, I feel like college basketball is open. There's no real. You know, you got Auburn, Tennessee. I mean, everybody's vulnerable, I believe. I mean, I think they got a shot at it. Could he do it? Possibly. You know, you always know it's going to depend, determine and depend on the matchups when it comes time to tournament time, you know, survive in advance, one game, anything can happen. So I think it's possible for him to do it. But still, what is it? 16 games in the season, we still got some time left to see what, you know, how it shakes down. And like you said, they're not as deep. Duke team, and especially at the guard positions, they're you know, they're decent, but that's going to the game always comes down to that. You know, as much as they give the ball to Cooper, so come down to a guard making a play, you know, down the stretch, I mean, I think they got it. They got a shot at it for sure. [00:20:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I agree with G. They got a shot, you know what I'm saying? More than anything, I do believe college basketball is open. That too. But it can go either way, depending on the matchups, depend on how healthy they are, et cetera. But it's a chance with his star power, the way he plays, they definitely have an opportunity alone there and there's looking from afar. [00:21:12] Speaker A: He looks like he's a leader of men from as a freshman, which is like you said, is a coach's dream. Like not many freshmen is rare. It's rare. It's rare to find a freshman that's ready to be a leader of men. Especially nowadays because with everyone going into the portal and you got dudes that play been in college basketball for five, six years and everybody's going away from freshmen. Like, you know, they telling high school guys that you might, you're out, you might want to go juco first. So to have someone being able to come out and, and you know, everyone expected Duke to be really good. And then when, when you watch them this year was like, oh, they might, they might not be as good. But for me, 14, a 142 record now, right now looks really good. And like you said, college basketball, the landscape is wide open. I definitely think that they can make a lot of noise as long as he's playing well standing around a freshman. The Vance had me watch kid from Georgia. We say that's right. [00:22:14] Speaker C: Give my credit. [00:22:18] Speaker A: And I want to say his last name. Newell. Newell. G, G, give me his name. Come on. Gasa Newell. [00:22:26] Speaker B: I hope I'm saying his name right. It's for the first name. We recognize his talents for sure. [00:22:36] Speaker A: I didn't watch George Must this year. When Lance told me about him, I checked him out against Oklahoma. I was impressed. Big lefty, he could score. He'd score on the basket. Nice little jump shot, played hard. I wouldn't know if I'd call him a defender, but he was playing hard. And then to watch their team, they're 142 and that's what made me say that. Who thought Georgia would be 142 coming off of playing 7 game stretch of playing top 25 team. Next week they got Tennessee and Georgia. I mean he's leading them in scoring G, if you want to pull up his numbers for me, I got you. [00:23:13] Speaker B: I believe he's at. Right now, he's at 15 points and seven rebounds, shooting 58 from the field. [00:23:21] Speaker A: He's efficient. [00:23:22] Speaker B: I'm really efficient for a freshman. [00:23:24] Speaker C: I'm not saying nobody. That ain't good, man. [00:23:27] Speaker B: That's legit. That's legit. You've. [00:23:29] Speaker A: You found. [00:23:29] Speaker B: You. You found something, man. You found something. [00:23:34] Speaker C: I know y'all gonna want to do the numbers. Yeah. [00:23:39] Speaker A: So what did you see from Levance? What made, what made you say that? I mean, I. I got it from you. You made me watch them. [00:23:45] Speaker C: I saw him in this tournament early in the year, the tournament in Bahamas Atlantis. He might have played against St. John's I believe it was. Obviously, I'm watching the hometown team, St. John's I'm looking at them, seeing what they're doing, and he just was doing everything. You a rebound. He brung it up a couple times. Very good around the basket. He was double teamed, made the right play. He was on the glass on the defensive end. Seemed to be like. He was very vocal. I mean, as a freshman, got a guy that. That good, that's vocal. It seemed like he was talking to his teammates. His teammates was listening on both ends going into timeouts when they had the camera on them. So I was really impressed. I saw him again against Kentucky and that's when I was like, yo, man, this is just. This kid is. I gotta take a look at them because I usually don't try to judge them or for first time. I mean, even when they say first impression could be everything, though. I usually kind of like to see somebody twice just because I think the first day they could, they could, they could be a stinker. But the next time, you know, I don't like to judge off the first game. Even though I'm a hard critic. I always give somebody a second chance, even if they did good, because you could be really great and then come. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Back the next game, wet the bed. [00:24:52] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. I like to. I like to judge you off of seeing you at least twice. And then I could be like, all. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Right, all right, so that means I can. I gotta see him again. That's what you're telling me. I got. [00:25:02] Speaker C: Wait, but you gonna have the same. [00:25:03] Speaker B: It's gonna be the same version. I pulled up the stats that you were talking about, Leo. Yeah, 17 or 18 to 5 that first game against St. John's and then against Kentucky, he went for 17 to 7 in the upset. So that was. [00:25:15] Speaker A: And that's that's what I'm saying. [00:25:16] Speaker B: Legit. It's legit. Yeah. [00:25:17] Speaker A: You. [00:25:18] Speaker B: Looks like you had an eye on it. [00:25:19] Speaker A: That's. That's. [00:25:20] Speaker C: Eyes don't lie, man. [00:25:21] Speaker B: Good eye right there. [00:25:22] Speaker C: I'm thankful they still work, man. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Thank God. But even say that in the sec, the SEC is looking like the toughest conference. The toughest conference. [00:25:32] Speaker C: That's what they were saying. Because you got the. We got Florida, too, right? [00:25:34] Speaker A: Florida, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, all them in the top five. [00:25:41] Speaker C: Florida last year, Buckland. I was like, oh, they're gonna be good. We played them, if I'm not mistaken. [00:25:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Last year. Yeah, yeah. [00:25:48] Speaker C: And I'm like, yeah, they're gonna be all right. I think they Pretty much. Everybody's back. I don't think they lost anything. [00:25:53] Speaker A: No, they didn't. Ole Miss, Kentucky, Oklahoma and SEC now, too, right? [00:26:00] Speaker C: No, no, they are. [00:26:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, I believe so. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Oklahoma, yeah. They. They was top 20. [00:26:05] Speaker C: Is not. I mean, not Big 12 anymore. They SEC 12. [00:26:09] Speaker B: The Big 12 cook now because Texas. Texas is SEC, too. [00:26:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Texas, SEC. [00:26:13] Speaker C: I'm out here slipping. Big 12 is Kansas State. [00:26:17] Speaker B: Who is the Big 12. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:19] Speaker C: Stop playing, man. [00:26:20] Speaker B: Case state in Kansas. PCU. [00:26:23] Speaker C: Never leaving. You went over there, huh? [00:26:26] Speaker B: Who? You said vcu, tcu, tcu. [00:26:32] Speaker C: I said, oh, that's why they're about to say that's why they could give all these. [00:26:34] Speaker A: Right. So they giving up that money. [00:26:36] Speaker B: That would have made sense. That would actually would have made sense. [00:26:38] Speaker C: You know me, I'm like, oh, that's why they could do all that. [00:26:41] Speaker A: But that's the thing. College basketball about to turn to a four. About to be two conference for real. Sec. Big Ten. [00:26:50] Speaker B: Big Ten. Yeah. Big Ten. [00:26:52] Speaker C: Just two conferences. [00:26:53] Speaker B: Them the best two. [00:26:54] Speaker A: They're the best two because the ACC. [00:26:56] Speaker C: Is SEC and Big Ten. Wow. [00:27:00] Speaker A: Football and basketball. Yep. But, yeah, let's. Let's. Let's keep an eye on Georgia, though, this week. They, like I said, they played Tennessee on Wednesday. [00:27:08] Speaker B: I'm gonna try to check them out. I haven't been able to see them yet, actually. [00:27:11] Speaker A: Yo. Yeah, the SEC is thick. Hold on, let me just run down that schedule. They play Tennessee, then they got Auburn on Saturday. Then after that, next Wednesday, they play the Wednesday. After that, they play Arkansas, then run into Florida, South Carolina and then Alabama. I ain't gonna keep going down because every, like. [00:27:28] Speaker B: Yes. Every other game is a ranked opponent. [00:27:29] Speaker A: Every other game is a ranked opponent. It's crazy. Yeah. We keep an eye out on them. Assa. He definitely impressed me. But I saved judgment against Tennessee when I see him again, and we can come back here. G, did you have anything with him or you ain't. You ain't. [00:27:45] Speaker B: I haven't been able. I haven't been able to check him out yet. I've seen some, like. Some clips of him, but I haven't been able to check him out in the full game. [00:27:51] Speaker C: Not working that hard, man. He got here kind of like. [00:27:54] Speaker A: Kind of like you told us, watch your boy Trey Johnson, and he. He didn't give us nothing. [00:28:00] Speaker B: And then. And then guess what? He did. Y'all didn't. Y'all should have tuned in when he played against number one Tennessee. Number one Tennessee. [00:28:06] Speaker C: That's why. [00:28:07] Speaker B: Put on a performance. Yeah, you said two games. You should have. [00:28:09] Speaker C: That's why you do. Right there. You got it. Because it could be like that, man. [00:28:14] Speaker B: And it was. It was loud. 26 loud. I don't like they lost, though. [00:28:19] Speaker C: I don't like when I gotta watch the game when it ain't right, though. I don't like that. I know I want to watch the game when it's going down. I'm like, whoa. [00:28:27] Speaker A: I know. I was. G. Had me stay up for that game. [00:28:29] Speaker C: Me too. [00:28:30] Speaker A: He had me stay up for that game. But I seen. I seen him play before, so I. I kind of knew what to expect. But he definitely. [00:28:35] Speaker C: See, I know. I didn't know nothing about him. I'm just. [00:28:38] Speaker B: What would be your assessment of his game, man? Like, what. Did you see the times that you've seen him before this game, the one that you. The. The last one for the last game? Yeah. What was your thoughts? [00:28:46] Speaker A: Score. Score. He like. He likes to get to the basket. Got a nice jump shot, not a strong handle, but he knows how to get to where he wants on the court. I don't know what his shooting percentage from the three is, but when I seen him play, he shot the ball well. [00:29:04] Speaker B: Nice. He shoots it well. I think he's a 40 guy. I'm pretty sure. [00:29:08] Speaker A: 40 from the 3. [00:29:09] Speaker B: I'm gonna give you the numbers now, but I'm. [00:29:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, when I seen him play, he shot outside of the 41. [00:29:16] Speaker B: 41 from 3. [00:29:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:17] Speaker A: Yeah. So I seen him shoot it well. He's definitely a player. He's definitely a player. He can. He can go. But like I said, I seen him. I also seen him in high school. That was the thing as well. I seen him in high school before. [00:29:28] Speaker B: He got to college. [00:29:29] Speaker A: Yeah, I seen him before he got to college, but I seen one game College. I seen two games. One good, one was bad. So save judgment. And I thought tennis and I thought Texas, they. They're playing good. I thought they would be better. But I'm. I was shocked to see that he's their top scorer. Probably their best player for sure. But we'll see. We'll see. I like him, though. I like his game. I like his game. Definitely should be. He should stay in college. I hope he don't. Who I thought you think he going. [00:29:56] Speaker B: He's out of there. What are you talking about? What are you serious? What are you staying in college for? What are you staying to college for? [00:30:03] Speaker C: What's. [00:30:04] Speaker B: I mean, that's because I don't want him. He top 10. Easy, easy. Top 10. [00:30:09] Speaker A: What's the. What's. Okay, he's sick. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Hold up. He's six. [00:30:12] Speaker A: Six. [00:30:12] Speaker B: He can pull up. Got a pull up jumper. He got size. He's got decent athleticism. He getting buckets. You know what that is? [00:30:19] Speaker A: You're right. Everything's screen. Everything screen. I'm going to leak. I get it. I'm not mad at it. I just think it would be good for him to stay in college. College. That's all I'm saying. But how can I say that when I said Bronnie should be in the league? So whatever. Whatever. But we're not gonna take it there. We're not gonna take it. [00:30:33] Speaker C: We talking about Collins. [00:30:35] Speaker A: We're not gonna take it there. Got it. I said we're not gonna take it there. We got it. We got it. I just. I would like to see him stay in school another year. But he probably. You're right. He probably won't. He probably won't. Big win for Maryland against ucla. I said before they couldn't get no big wins. I had had an argument with my guy. I was like, he had some people, you know, I'm Maryland, everybody, they like, yo, we going to the tournament this year. To the tournament. They can't win a big game. He was like, ucla, they got the win. It's a big win for them. I don't know if the UCLA win towards the end of the year still would be considered a big win, but it was big. Now, you know, I'm a fan of Derrick Queen, so I'm always rooting for him in Maryland. He didn't play well, but they still got to win. I don't know how much y'all watch Maryland, right? But they have a. They have a really good team. G. Put pull up Maryland stats. [00:31:30] Speaker B: So I've seen a Little bit of them play a little bit of that game, some of that game, seen some highlights, seen the game clipped. And, I mean, I like. I like it. It's a pretty solid team for me. I like Julian Reese, that team leader, Roller, you know what I'm saying? Rebounder, play strong, nice player. Gillespie's tough. [00:31:47] Speaker A: Well, that's why I wanted you. That's why I wanted you to watch. I mean, pull the stats up. Gillespie, he's probably their best. He's probably their best player. He makes them go. And he had 27 right against UCLA. When he plays well, they could be really good. The only thing that I didn't like and I told y'all, I think they should open this floor up more instead of playing two bigs. But someone made a point to me that you probably need two bigs or they would get killed in the Big Ten without those guys. But I was happy to see Marlon get that win. And I said to y'all before the Villanova win looking better now since they starting to pick it up and they got a big win. We had to talk about their win over UConn. Lee, have you. You got a chance to see Maryland play? [00:32:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I was able to watch them play against UCLA because we was. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Okay. [00:32:39] Speaker C: Remember me, you and Ricky was talking? [00:32:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:32:41] Speaker C: And I was like, I gotta. We got next game. He said ucla. I was like, they rank right? He was like, yes. I said, let me watch this game. And, you know, obviously, I've been following McQueen because of you and how much you've been talking about him, and he's been playing really well. It wasn't his best game against ucla, but like Gary said, he likes Reese. Reese was really good. He had a double double. So obviously picked it up for McQueen not having his better game. And like you said, I just hope the. I hope UCLA could start winning and this game looks as good as it needs it looks down the road because. Not to take nothing away from Maryland, obviously, but it looks like UCLA might be spiraling a little bit. You know, you've seen the comments with Mick Cronin and what's going on. So I know he's just trying to get a spark out of the team to play better. But in case they don't later on in the year, this UCLA win might not look like much. But for the time being, big win at home, they did what they needed to do. Obviously, good for them. Hopefully they can keep it rolling and keep going from there. [00:33:39] Speaker B: Looking at the stats you wanted them, they're getting great production from their starters, all five and double figures. You got 16 from McQueen, 14 for Galebsky, 13 for Reese, 12 for Miguel and 12 for Rice. That's your post. Starting lineups, average in double digits. You doing pretty well. Yeah, I like that team. From what I've seen a little bit. I've seen of them. I've seen some highlights on them a couple times. Watch them like games. A little bit of the game before. [00:34:06] Speaker A: What's their record in the Big Ten? [00:34:08] Speaker B: They're 2 and 3, but their losses are 2. Two of the teams was ranked. They lost Maryland in Marquette, at Oregon and at Purdue. No, three tough places. Two tough places to play. And then they lost at Washington. So them three, three, two row games. [00:34:23] Speaker A: Yep. My bad. And also, you know, I have. My boy Ricky Harris is on a coaching staff, so, you know, I want to see. I want to see Ricky talking about that. Yeah, we having a conversation with Ricky. [00:34:39] Speaker C: Maryland, man. We already know. [00:34:41] Speaker A: Well, I'm not in Maryland. I know that's not. [00:34:44] Speaker B: I know they never wanted your heart too. [00:34:46] Speaker C: We know. [00:34:47] Speaker B: I know personal investments there, you know. [00:34:49] Speaker C: I mean, your brother won a national title there, bro. [00:34:52] Speaker A: One definitely won the national title there. But I never had that much love from running outside of Juan winning that title. I didn't. [00:34:58] Speaker B: I was. Hey, by the way, I was sick when he won that title. [00:35:00] Speaker A: Why? Oh, be Indiana. [00:35:04] Speaker B: I was a kid. [00:35:04] Speaker C: I was glad y'all made it. I shouldn't even made it. Gee, right? [00:35:11] Speaker A: Jay will choke. [00:35:13] Speaker B: Yeah, man. And Boozer. Boozer. What's his name, was it Jay Will. [00:35:16] Speaker A: Missed the free throws. [00:35:18] Speaker B: He was out there bored. Big man pissed, man. [00:35:22] Speaker C: I did not want Indiana to go. Jeff. [00:35:24] Speaker B: Jared Jeffries was working, though. Jared Jefferson was going to work. [00:35:27] Speaker C: I was like. [00:35:27] Speaker B: He was. Yeah, he was working out there. [00:35:30] Speaker C: Jay William was my crew. Duke, I ain't. I ain't gonna lie. Jay Will. [00:35:34] Speaker B: Nah, that's. That's one of those. [00:35:35] Speaker A: Hold up, lee, that was 2002. Oh, you was. You wasn't getting looked at, though. You weren't getting no looks yet. [00:35:40] Speaker C: Small. I was special for broken leg. I was. [00:35:44] Speaker A: Hold up. You broke your leg in high school? [00:35:46] Speaker C: Yeah, eighth grade. [00:35:48] Speaker A: Yo, you just get hurt, injury prone. [00:35:53] Speaker C: What we doing out here, man? But you know, if I'm out there, I'm going 160. [00:35:58] Speaker A: That's why I was talking to. I was talking to Gil. We just talking about boys going 26. 26 for. For Louisville. And somebody. Somebody wrote on Twitter, levance. We needed you out there to. To God to guard him. I said, they talking about Levance. Need to gossip. Levance can't guard his soul. [00:36:21] Speaker B: My bad. We need him for office. [00:36:28] Speaker C: We was hiding him close our own film, you know. [00:36:34] Speaker A: He said well advanced. Definitely chase some. Chase people around screens. [00:36:37] Speaker C: I was better than you, man. [00:36:39] Speaker B: Chasing screen. [00:36:40] Speaker A: No, you wasn't. No, you wasn't. [00:36:41] Speaker C: I was a better trailer than you. I don't know. I was. [00:36:45] Speaker A: You wasn't a better trailer than me. Yeah. [00:36:46] Speaker B: You was locking the trailer. [00:36:47] Speaker A: I was locking the trailer. [00:36:48] Speaker B: I carried sand on my head. [00:36:50] Speaker C: Locking trail the trail. I think I got it. They was loving me. One game, I was trailing McCard. What's his name? Cal McCartney. McCartney from Notre Dame. [00:37:00] Speaker A: Oh. Oh, yeah. [00:37:01] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, I know you're talking about. [00:37:02] Speaker C: I was tripped. We played him at home, I think. I mean, he made a couple shots. [00:37:05] Speaker B: But over the strap. [00:37:07] Speaker C: I was like, he was having a run at that time too. So I was, you know, New York let me guard him. I was feeding the guard, like, and I was tripping. I was true. I was life in me, son. Because he wouldn't stop moving, man. I'm like, never again. I think that was the last time I did that, actually. [00:37:23] Speaker A: Was it? No. [00:37:23] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, as far as the whole, like, I was matched up with him, like, majority of the game. [00:37:28] Speaker A: Well, no other guy. [00:37:31] Speaker C: That's what I'm trying to tell you. You will have like a point guard. Nobody I would guard would move as much as he moved. [00:37:36] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got. No, you got it. What's the boy name from West Virginia? Didn't he run off the screens? Rua. [00:37:43] Speaker C: Ruff. But still, I mean, RUF did, but not as much as cow. No, not as much. Cal was still more of a dead on shooter than him. [00:37:52] Speaker A: I believe he was. Yeah, he was. [00:37:55] Speaker C: He just. He was moving, bro. I remember that. That was. That was the last. [00:37:59] Speaker A: Well, Gil definitely wanted to give you credit, but I was like, yo, they wilding on Twitter, talking about, we need you. Levance to God, this boy. When I seen the message I was looking for my act. They didn't say main dis. I'm like, what? [00:38:12] Speaker C: Right, sweetie? I know what y'all saw, man. [00:38:14] Speaker A: Good job, man. Give me some credit. Jesus Christ. He did enough. [00:38:22] Speaker B: He was feeling that. [00:38:24] Speaker A: Villanova big win against UConn. UConn's number nine in the country. 68. 66 pushes Villanova to 11, 5. UConn to 24. Me being honest, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't like what I seen from Villanova earlier in the year. And ever since they got into. Well leading up to conference, they picked it up and now they rolling and getting a win against UConn. It's a big win. Like I said, that turned into a nice win for Maryland early in the year, even though I know it wasn't playing well at that time. Did y'all get to watch the game? G, did you get to see the. [00:38:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I got to see Nova. [00:39:02] Speaker A: What did you see? What did you like from. My bad. G cut you off. I know, I'm just get to it. Anyway, you was talking about Dixon. What did you like that you seen from Dixon in that game? [00:39:13] Speaker B: Is that your cousin? No, no relationship. You good? Oh, okay. No, but Dixon, man, I. I like. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Him seem like it. [00:39:20] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh, he's like, you opened. [00:39:23] Speaker C: The door for it. [00:39:24] Speaker B: I knew he was. I knew he was going to go ahead and do it though. [00:39:27] Speaker C: That's crazy. [00:39:29] Speaker B: Anyway, but. But Eric Dixon, man, I like him. He's a. He's a mismatch nightmare. Know, 6'8 265. He's pretty quick, you know, has a decent handle to be able to get by. If you have a slower big on him. He likes to drive right and finish with his left. And he was, he was. He was against some buckets, man, I liked him. The other guy on their team, I forget his name. [00:39:49] Speaker C: Pablo. [00:39:52] Speaker B: Nice driver, good size. I think they're both seniors if I'm not mistaken. So they had that leadership. They've been around. They wanted to get that win at home against the two time defending champs, you know what I'm saying? They had a lead early. UConn fought back, got back in the game. Dan Hurley runs some hell of a sets. I was watching some of the plays he ran. I'm like, dang. Some actions you just like, dang. How do you think of that? He knows how to get the low man involved so you can get easy shots and easy layups. He runs some good stuff. It was a good game, man. UConn could have won the game easily with Columba. Colomba. He got fouled at the end of the game. Two free throws, two seconds left. He missed both of them. He's an 81 free throw shooter. So you expecting him to get one of those. And they said he has shot 145, I think 140 or 120. 140. What? [00:40:42] Speaker A: 45, 43. [00:40:44] Speaker B: 143 free throws without missing both of them. So that's. That's tough, you know what I'm saying? That's tough, but that's a pressure moment. [00:40:52] Speaker A: Right like that. [00:40:53] Speaker B: This is all the marbles on the table. You know, he was. Was he on both of those teams that won those championship? Yep. He's a champion. He's been in those pressure situations, but, you know, you can miss free throws. Even the greatest guys, you know, miss free throws down the stretch of time. Yeah, so that was a good game, but I wanted to. I also want to give a shout out to the dudes. Solo ball. I like him on that Yukon. He's good. Number one. Yeah, he's a good player. So. Yeah, that's what I seen from that game. It was a good game. Went down to the wire, back and forth, Villanova had to leave. UConn fought back as we knew they were going to. Yeah, they had their guys, made big plays. [00:41:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Lee, I want to ask you, what was your takeaway from UConn? UConn seems to. I mean, the past two years they've been look like they've been running the table and they beating people by 20, 30. You know, they lose some guys this year after last year. This year they fighting in games, even games that they won. Every. Everything is close. So what are you seeing from UConn this year? [00:41:52] Speaker C: Back to back champs. So they're getting everybody's best shot, you know what I'm saying? Every. Every game they're playing, everybody's trying to prove something, trying to get a win against the national champion. So I think they're doing a pretty good job. I mean, it happens. You could lose a close game on a roll. I mean, but because it's UConn and they're back to back champions, things are magnified a little bit more. But they're 12, four, you know, I think they'll be there when it's all said and done because of being back to back champions and having experience on the squad still, once again, we're talking about a game they lost when they had a chance to win with a guy who shoots 81% from the field. I'm free throw line. And unfortunately, he missed both. Like they still had a chance to win. They out rebounded their opponent by 11. So they're doing things that's. That's really good on the floor. It's not like they're out there losing in there playing bad, you know. [00:42:40] Speaker A: Right. [00:42:40] Speaker C: We never want to lose, but we know some of them games where it just don't go your way. But you like how you, how you battle to how you play. So I think UConn is isn't doing anything wrong. You just keep writing the ship. They'll be fine. [00:42:52] Speaker A: Yeah, it's good to hear you say that. I said the same thing. I think, I think it's good for them to be battle tested now, especially with some of the. They got a new roster pretty much like, yeah, they got some returning guys, but they brought in a lot of different new guys. So I think it's good for them to be battle tested now. And I still look at them like they could win national title, like end of February, March. They definitely can go on the run. Yes. I like UConn. I like what I've seen from them. Tough loss, like you said, but it happens. Yeah. Really good team. Really good team. Great coaching. Dan Hurley, is he putting his name? Yeah. Early. [00:43:30] Speaker B: I don't think he's good enough to win it though, this year. [00:43:32] Speaker C: I mean. [00:43:33] Speaker A: Well, like you said. The reason I say that is because it's wide open. [00:43:36] Speaker B: They had some great. Like their guards are good this year, but last year. [00:43:39] Speaker C: No, last year too, still because like once again, they're back to back champs. So until they. They're gonna be in the tournament, so. [00:43:46] Speaker B: No, they're gonna be in the tournament. [00:43:47] Speaker C: That's my point today. Knocked out. We just gonna leave it open. I mean, I mean, but. [00:43:51] Speaker B: But I like. I like to make predictions. Make a prediction. [00:43:54] Speaker C: I'm predicting they don't win it because. [00:43:57] Speaker B: I'm just saying from what I've seen by them, they're more vulnerable this year than they were last year. [00:44:04] Speaker C: I agree with that too. [00:44:05] Speaker B: They don't have a cap or Tristan news on their team. [00:44:08] Speaker A: Well, I'll say this. 100 or clinging. [00:44:11] Speaker B: They clinging. The big man. [00:44:13] Speaker A: Yeah. 100 sure they going to the final four. 100 sure they going to the final four. [00:44:19] Speaker C: I ain't going there. That's the main win. I'm good. You asked for. You asked for it. [00:44:22] Speaker A: You asked for it. I'm telling you what. [00:44:24] Speaker B: Put some money on it then. [00:44:25] Speaker A: What you mean? I'm ready for it, bruh. They got the best coach in college basketball. [00:44:31] Speaker B: No, he's been pretty good too. [00:44:33] Speaker C: Kamani Young, Shout out to New York. [00:44:35] Speaker B: Hey. All the year. All the years, all the years that Coach K was considered the best coach of college basketball, they ain't get to. [00:44:41] Speaker C: The final Four all the time. [00:44:42] Speaker A: You want me to have this conversation? I don't want to have this conversation right now. Do you want me to have. I don't want to have this conversation right now. Do you want to. I want to do it I want to leave. I just want to know what you think of Villanova as a team. [00:44:56] Speaker C: That was my first actual game watching him. I mean, other than that, I pretty much seen the box for. So you know me, I like to see a team just like a player more than once. I can't just go off one game. But they're led by seniors. You always want that kind of leadership when you know you're heading into the tournament or trying to make a tournament run. So I think they just got to keep. Keep building. Cal Neptune is a great young coach, obviously. [00:45:24] Speaker A: Was he on the staff in Nova when we played? [00:45:27] Speaker C: I believe he was. [00:45:28] Speaker B: You talking about the head coach there? [00:45:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, I believe he was with Jay Wright. That's what I was about to say. So he has that pedigree. He knows how to win. He's been around with them teams that won a national championship. He's just considered. He's just continuing to build his name and do it his way now that Jay Wright's gone. So, you know, that thing takes a little bit of time, you know, obviously. But I think they're going to be all right. They're going to be in the thick of things in the Big East. I know it's not one of the most heralded. Heralded conferences. [00:45:56] Speaker B: No. [00:45:56] Speaker C: More like it was when we was there. But I think it's enough. Therefore, if they do what they need to do, they'll be there in the tournament. And then from there, like we said, anything's possible. [00:46:06] Speaker A: You're saying. Yeah. Why the. Why couldn't we be Villanova? [00:46:08] Speaker C: Here you go, man. This is why I'm saying. They got witted pedigree. They always figure a way to beat us. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Why can't we beat them? [00:46:17] Speaker C: I don't know, man. They just always. They just always did something at the right. [00:46:22] Speaker A: I know why. I know why we couldn't beat him at Nova. I knew. [00:46:25] Speaker B: I do, too. Had water on his neck. [00:46:32] Speaker C: They had to play in the old gym. The last. [00:46:35] Speaker B: I'm give you that one, though. You right, though. [00:46:38] Speaker A: It was hot in there. [00:46:39] Speaker C: In the old gym. [00:46:40] Speaker B: That's about to get torn down. [00:46:43] Speaker C: What am I doing in there? [00:46:45] Speaker A: The spectrum. [00:46:47] Speaker C: Breathe. No ACs. Like I always mention that. Man, that was a bad gym. [00:46:53] Speaker A: Man, that was a bad gym. But I know parts. I know reasons. Why you was like that. I was with you the night before. [00:47:01] Speaker C: Listen, man, you gotta do something to decompress, okay? Talk about it. [00:47:07] Speaker B: Talk about it. [00:47:08] Speaker C: Whatever your vice is.
