Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. New customers can bet five bucks to get $150 in bonus bets only at DraftKings Sportsbook with code TAKE. Today is Monday, March 25th and my head is full of basketball. My eyes have been burning for four days. I feel like I've gained 15 pounds.
I've had a headache non-stop, but God damn, it was that fun.
I've had two bites of vegetables since Thursday. Yeah, two is a lot. I have not. Yeah, just because of the wedding early course. You get the asparagus.
Took a couple bites of that, that's.
It. I've had candy on, candy on candy and we just watched basketball for four days straight. And I feel great, though, I feel great. I will say this for you people listening right now.
I would throw this out there maybe Monday after Super Bowl and then Monday after the first week in a March madness, two worst Mondays in the calendar year. Your body just craves day basketball. You're just sitting there, like, What do I do with the rest of my life? You're basically red or no Brooks getting out of Shawshank, and you're like, this sucks. I want to go back to just sitting on a couch with my boys watching hoop.
Yeah, if you want day ball, by the way, look at Big Cat's blog on the coach's picture. Yes, which we can talk about a little bit in a little bit.
I'm going to be up till four in the morning tonight. That's fun. That's a nice little wind down after a week in a ball, but yeah, it was a great time. The games weren't that competitive over the weekend, but it's still a lot of basketball.
Let's debate this before we go.
Through the games and talk about all the storylines, we do this as sports fans. We have to say, well, this March madness has been great, or this one has sucked. I've seen both arguments I'm firmly in.
Yeah, I wish there was less blowouts, but what this March madness is setting up, it's actually exactly what I want. A few upsets in the first round, some shocking moments. You get a Jack Colkey, you get a Yale beating Auburn, you get these weird things happening. But then you get the best 16 teams in the Sweet 16 and you have. I know it's chalky, but we have match-ups that are so, so great. And I don't want to get to the Sweet 16 and have like, a 13 seed.
Who's going to lose by 20 to Yukon? Yeah, 30 to Yukon. We've got some Blue Bloods in there, We've got a national title rematch.
Yeah, and the one Cinderella that's still in.
There is a cinderella that we can all focus on, and N.C. State also not a cinderella anymore.
Because they just keep winning there. I think they went from Cinderella to just Team of Destiny like they. There was a moment when N.C. State in that Oakland game, they win it over time and I'm.
Like, why can't, can't they just win it all? Yeah, they're good, they're like, legit good, the two DJs and then Deara. They got some players who's fasting for Ramadan, which is nuts.
Is it?
So they're the new Yukon. Yeah, he's, he has not been, he's not been eating. During these games, that's any. They've played seven games in 12 days, that's really impressive.
I don't think.
I'd be able to watch basketball without eating no, much less play it. Definitely not. I sh, I sit.
On that couch, it's like Pavlov's dogs, like, What are we eating for today? Oh, we had lunch.
Two minutes ago, let's talk about dinner. Uh, we've got. We've got solid matchups in the next round. And also a shout out to the ACC, the ACC. What are they eight and one in the tournament?
The one loss being UVA in the first four, well, the Big East also undefeated Big East.
Is undefeated six. And oh, Big East probably should put more teams in from the Big East.
Big East is back. Well, yeah, Yukon had Northwestern and Stetson, yeah, uh, but yeah, it's we got some really good matchups coming up next weekend.
I'm pumped about that. I would have liked more close games, maybe with the same results, but more close games. But all in all, like, Yeah, it was a. It was a weekend well spent. I don't want to, I don't want to be second guessing my weekend. And the fact that the very last game, or second to last game, was the Houston A and M shocker that went to overtime.
Yeah, that was incredible. That's a good way for me to, like, wash a little bit of the stink of the blow outside of my mouth.
Yeah, so the the um, yeah, I don't like it. The years when we get to Sweet 16 and we have multiple 13, 14, 15, you know, 15. St. Peter's, that was a great story, but then you get St.
Peter's went all the way to the elite eight, correct you get, send her purdue and they lost.
By like 40.
Right, you get cinderella, you get Cinderella fatigue. We can, we can channel all of our cinderella energy into N.C. state now, which is nice, yeah.
Usually, when these double digit.
Seeds lose, they lose in big fashion, like they just completely run out of gas, right? So I, I'm.
I'm very excited with this tournament, I'm excited with what we've watched.
Uh, where do you want to start? Let's start on Friday. Okay, that's it. We usually go in chronological order.
That's true. Yeah, we do on the show, okay? So I didn't really watch much of the games, cause I was flying and then I was at dinner, but I did see one game, yes.
James Madison, Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin played like, fucking ass, Jamie, you played like.
Fucking a good ass, like a really good ass. No, I, that was torture. for me, it was a torturous.
Game it was they, they played, uh, just horrendous. I don't think they knew what Jamie was all about. It felt like they showed up and they're like, Oh yeah, we'll just win this game, oh yeah.
Jamie is going to pressure us on every possession and we'll just not be able to handle the pressure. They were not ready for the fight, the fight was brought to them, they were not ready for the fight. Uh, why are you pulling up the box?
Score Max. I was just curious, I was looking, Oh yeah, but it sucked, it sucked.
And I, I was. It was torture for me, I hated every second of it. As you get older, it's weird because you think that these games should matter less as you get older and have perspective. But I was thinking about it because I was so mad at myself, so sad on Friday night. And I realized that they, in a weird way, matter more. Because as you get older, your teams keep some, you know, your friendships alive.
And all my college friends, who I'm still very good friends with. Like, we watch it together and we talk about it and then like to have that performance and that just disgusting. I would have rather have lost on a buzzer beater than the way that Wisconsin went out because it was so pathetic. Um, and then it's got me questioning everything with the direction of the program and everything. So yeah, you had fun, I had torture.
Yeah, I had a pretty good time, it was a great night. Uh, Wisconsin, I would say they weren't ready for the defensive pressure, but also Wisconsin would have been. I think they would have been better if the game had been played on like Monday or Tuesday, yeah.
No, when they were on a roll in the Big 10 tournament, well, then they had to take a couple of days off and they.
Kind of reverted back. They were Jekyll and Hyde all year and they. And what happened in the Big 10 tournament just pulled me back in and I knew that was going to happen. And it just it. It just pulled me right back into being like, Oh, maybe this team will hit all their shots and there'll be great.
And they were not, and, uh yeah, it sucked. A.J. Store was bad, Wall was not good, it was the last game.
Like, just sucked, everything sucked. Yeah, we had a great game, our big three.
Showed up, uh, it was an electric atmosphere inside the Barclays, it's the loudest that it's been inside the Barclays. Which when you look back at the history of teams that have played there. Yeah, you had the nets for a little bit and then you have what, the eight 10 tournament, yeah, so yeah.
Uh, the the biggest night in the history of the Barclays. In terms of crowd noise, it was a.
Blast, What was up with the guy behind you that you told to shut the fuck up? Well, he needed to.
Shut the fuck up and so I told him to shut the fuck up. I have a lot of practice to shut the fuck up because of you. Hank. I know it was good, it was good to see that and not be on the receiving end of it.
Yeah, uh, so basically what happened was Max myself, uh, my friend Brian that I went to JMU with. And then we're Silo met up with us. We're still put a rookie mistake. He was trying to watch Vermont Duke with a cardinal sat on, with a cardinal sat on, uh, and he saw that picture. I was like, just for, so I didn't, I didn't even ask him.
I didn't question it, I just I was like, Okay, Brian's here, whatever. But he, he made a rookie mistake. He bought tickets for the early slate, thinking he was going to get all the games and then he got kicked out.
And then, uh, then he had to be like, Hey, is there an extra ticket? Yeah, we got you Ryan, so Ryan was watching the games with us. And the guy behind us started running his mouth a little bit right after we got out to an early start. Cause, Jamie, you came out pretty hot.
And he was like, telling me to sit down, called me a C word, like the Australian C word. And uh. And I was just like, this guy needs to shut the fuck up. And I was about seven or eight cocktails deep at the time. Uh, so I just I let him have it. And then after I said that to him, we reached like a mutual respect thing, where the guy was like, fair enough.
And he was like, Are you even a Jamie fan? I was like, Yeah, I went to school there and he didn't believe me at first. And he thought that I was wearing a suit. Going there to troll all the Wisconsin people that I was sitting next to, Okay, um, and so I explained to him I went there, I liked the team.
He was like, Okay, okay, that's, that's somewhat fair, and I was like, how about this? How about? We both agree that whoever wins, we want the other team to beat the fuck out of Duke in the next round? He was like, Okay, that's good.
So we bonded. Also. He thought Rosillo was my security guard that was with me. So he's a little bit intimidated. He is, he's built, he was ready to roll.
Yeah, Ryan was ready to rock and roll, so it was a. You know, it was a fun night. And getting to see your team win a tournament game is, uh, it's electric. And my hopes got up. I was, I was thinking that we were going to come out and and at least show some fight against Duke, but uh, yeah, no.
You guys suck, too, we just suck way more. Yeah, it was a great Friday night, cause that was I actually I did on Friday night.
You, you had a great Friday night. I had a torture, torture Friday night, Hank and I almost broke up for good. Yeah, I heard about that.
Yeah, we almost, we almost actually ended our relationship, but you should think you actually.
Should thank me, big cat, because you would have much rather lose on Friday night to me than to beat us and then get your shit kicked in by Duke. Yeah, no, I agree, I don't think.
We would have lost by 30 to Duke, but I agree it's 38. Yeah, it sucks, I mean, I bet on James Madison.
I held my end of the bargain. I rooted very hard for James Madison today and it was not good. Uh, yeah, Hank and I had a. we had, we had a. we had a, uh. a grudge battle that, uh, almost ended our relationship for good, yeah.
I don't know what I was supposed to do, you know, I was, I was. I mean, I explained it to you as many times, and it was before the game, I was just.
Yeah, we, we basically stood in the kitchen, wait, wait. It was so just to set the table here. Hank was rooting for JMU because in a sponsored ad deal, correct, we drew JMU correct as our team that we had to root for. He was not being a good employee.
No, he was saying it like.
He was going to root for JMU like as hard like he was. Like, people want to tune in to see me and you go after each other. I was like, No, they don't, you have no connection to JMU.
I was like, if PFT was here, that would make sense. Like when Max has a big game, I've I've lost so much money.
Betting on Philly Sports now riding with Matt? But to be fair, you sometimes do that because that way when you lose your bet, you can get mad at Max. And that's very fun, I bet, I bet the.
Eagles Because I thought they were going to win the Super Bowl, yeah, I bet the Phillies, cause I thought they were going to win the World Series. It wasn't because I was trolling.
Max, the Villanova one was trolling, but yeah, hank, it was like. He was like, basically like, I'm going to root for JMU, like I've been rooting for this team my whole life. And I was like.
But that doesn't make sense. Yeah, Hank was a one man house divided bumper sticker with his.
Allegiances to JMU and also Duke and also Duke. Yeah, I actually have the idea that Tank came out the biggest loser in this whole entire squad. He didn't even get to enjoy a win, right? Because I didn't, I didn't lose fully, because I never lost to Duke.
You obviously got a win, so you didn't, and then you lost Duke, but you got to win. And Hank didn't get his sponsored deal to the point where he could win money. The team that he actually likes Duke played his sponsored deal, and he just didn't root for Duke.
So everyone's like, Wait, are you a Duke fan anymore? Hank was the biggest loser. Yeah, but now I can just.
Hop back in. Okay, yeah, you can hop back in, and it was hard.
I did think it wasn't going to matter. And then, you know, once the game started and I saw the The Duke Unis in action, it made.
You a little teary eyed hank, hop back in. I want you to root for, yeah.
Yeah, I like it when you.
Root for Hank, I want you to root really hard for Duke. In fact, I want you to go to their next game. Where are they playing? Oh, they're playing in Dallas.
Oh, nice, oh, that's crazy, but hank and.
I did make up, it was a, it was a 12 hour tiff. It's on Friday as well. I have a. I didn't mean.
To say, Tiff, I have a tweet here from, Oh, it's from Tiffany. Oh. She wants to know if Hank can come to Dallas to watch his beloved Duke. Blue Devils. Is that actually No?
Oh, yes, did she actually? somebody said at Henny's, and I was tagged in because it was a reply to a tweet. I had the never ending story. Are you going to Dallas for the next Duke game?
Eyeball emoji at Tiffany Gomez. Tiffany replied 29 minutes ago. Good question, dot dot dot at Henny's question mark.
You got to go, oh my god, I give you permission to go if you want to go, hank.
You got to go, Yeah, I'll look into it. Okay, great, you always ride for Duke as he sits in.
His purple jumpsuit. You got to go down there and fix your wall up, you gotta, you gotta plaster.
WALLs Hank, Yeah, I might have to, I gotta hit her up, yeah, but Hank and I did we, we ended.
Our beef, Uh, just the very next day. It was a bad night for me, I had a very, very bad time that was. Sports should not change your mood as much as they do. I mean, you had a bad time today.
I had a bad time today, but again, like I'm looking back at Friday, I had a great Friday night. I had a great Saturday. I had a a stressful. The thing about today, though, was I was stressed out. And I was. I was anxious before the game and then I didn't even get a single second's worth of joy out of the game. Today, I went immediately from being anxious to being sad.
To dead, it was never, we never got to cheer. I loaded up on JMU Moneyline spread. I was like, let's go, you know, I had. I had had the appropriate amount of time to process the debacle and torture of Friday night.
I would moved on. We had a good Saturday and then.
Yeah, that was, there was no cheering. JMU was built to beat the big ten. We can't hang with the ACC yet. Yeah, that's, that's the next step for us.
And now it's, who are we losing in the?
Portal Oh, don't talk if you want to be a big time basketball school. What did you say? what?
Did you say what? did you say on Friday? Give, give the person a day. All right, I'll give you.
A day, give me a day, and then we'll talk Portal, I'll give you a day, I'll give you a day.
Then?
We'll talk portal. We were already talking about my coach going somewhere else earlier, I didn't bring that up. I know, I know.
I said, Yeah, it was not you, yeah, but just give me a.
Data portal sucks. No, I just I, I. I asked that because Wisconsin just started, everyone just started hitting the portal. It's like, the worst part about college sports now is like, Yeah, you lose a game, and then the minute after you're just like, Oh, cool, portal, portal for everyone next year.
All right, let's talk about some other games. But congratulations Pft. That was you guys. I mean, yeah, you took. I really was like, the game started and you guys were like, we're going to play 10 times more aggressive and like, fast, faster than Wisconsin.
And Wisconsin just looked like they had just never seen that, and it was over from that moment.
Yeah, it was we. We played some tenacious D Friday for sure, and it was. It was so fun to watch. I'm so glad I got to experience it, it's something that I never thought like.
JMU basketball has never been a threat to do this ever, and now we got some that we're building on.
Maybe it was sweet, sweet 16.
There's nothing like that the second weekend.
My little grinch heart grew three times the size that day. Yeah, okay, so let's talk some.
Other games, where? where do we want to start? There's been all the favorites have advanced basically. Oh, we could start with North Carolina doing the the The Narrative Bowl of Tom Izzo in March.
We've had about 10 minutes of he did it again, he's done it again. Tom Izzo, You know, January, February, Izzo, and then North Carolina happened because we all collectively forgot that all North Carolina does is beat Tom Izzo. MICHIGAN STATE In March Michigan State is own six in the tournament against North Carolina.
And it was like a 28 20 game, I read a story where essentially it was a 20 20 game. Michigan State. And Hubert Davis, instead of calling a play during the media timeout, just bitched out everyone in the I love that. In the huddle. It was like, you guys don't want this. And then they finished the half 41, uh, 30, and it was or 31, 40, 31..
And it was just over from there. Yeah, there were like five different teams, this.
Weekend that had these types of games where it's like, okay, if they play like this, they're going to win the title. North Carolina had a half where it's like, they're going to win.
The national Championship, and I'll say for the first time, maybe Izzo, maybe maybe it is over for Izzo. Because North Carolina. That second half, they just ran the same play over and over, and Michigan State just never stopped it. They just kept on running the same screen down low with Baycott, and then they would just hit a three, or Baycott would go one-on-one.
And that was it. Yeah, it's always been funny to me that it's January, February, Izzo, April, when you would ideally like your coach to be January, February, March, Izzo. Yes, because.
That's when you really have to. Yeah, you need to win the fight. Yeah, but he is March, but he.
Was pretty good for Michigan State, but I North Carolina looks like when they're playing at their best, they are one of the five teams that are unbeatable. Yeah, they're very good. Uh, all.
Right, other games from Saturday. Arizona is I? I was rooting for Dayton, I wanted to, I wanted, that was the type of team that I wanted to make it, but North, but Arizona, they're looking like. It's like, I look at the bracket right now, and I don't know 10 out of the 16 I could conceivably.
See, winning it all. They're also fun when they're running, when you're getting up and down the court, they're one of the finest teams to watch. And then hand up. Um, I owe Clemson an apology.
I was not familiar with their game. Oh yeah, that's Sunday, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
Probably a Sunday, yeah, Clemson, Clemson, I'm just saying, like.
They're good all of a sudden. I think when they announced the bracket, I believe we said Clemson, they stink, they shouldn't be in here, correct?
I would like to retract that statement. Clemson does not stink retroactively. I never said that.
We forgot that they played a Mountain West team in the first game, which New Mexico looked like. They, uh, I don't know what they did, it just didn't. I don't know if they like practice before or they didn't even sleep before. But that was one of the worst first round showings for a team that people were picking. They were favored in that game, they got absolutely demolished by Clemson.
Yeah, and I was high on on New Mexico too, so we I completely botched that one. Yes, that's.
March Baby, I have a team for you, Max, do you did you hear about this story? I have a team for you to root for because you don't have a team in the tournament.
Okay, that team is Illinois and their first sweet Sweet 16 since 2005, which is a crazy stat because Illinois historically has been good. But it has been a very rough stretch for them. Brad Underwood has been knocking at that door. I think he's an awesome coach. I actually have, like one of my only non old takes exposed when they hired him.
I was like, Brad Underwood is a awesome coach, they're going to win with him, I know where this is going. Illinois is in the sweet 16 since first time in 2005. There was a story out there that Brad Underwood was trying to. So the last couple of years, they've had a team that has not really fit the modern basketball.
So they have big man a guard. His whole goal was we got to find more wings, we've got to find more guys that are dynamic with the ball. His entire starting five is over six, six. Terrence Shannon is insane.
He's got over 30, 30 and a half points a game in the last six games. What are you averaging? And, uh, they also have a guy, uh, to mask, who's so, so good. And the story goes, they lost a game early in the season.
Jay Wright was calling the game Brad Underwood had a meeting with Jay right after the game. They became friends, and Jay Wright was like, Hey, this guy to mask. Why don't you just do booty ball with him? hmm, classic Villanova booty ball, where you just fucking let him get the ball? ISO?
And he brought any brings people down in the post, like what Jalen Brunson used to do, like all those guys used to do, and he. And that has basically changed the course of their season and that's how they run their offense and they're a lot more dynamic now.
It opens up everything for Terrence Shannon. Jay Wright has helped coach Illinois to the first sweet 16 since.
2005 Max Yeah, no, that's great. I wish he did more for Villanova. I thought you'd be more excited.
About this, you wish he had told that to Kyle Neptune, correct? Jay Wright is such a good coach.
He's helping Illinois break their 19 year streak of not getting to the sweet 16.
Yeah, no, I saw.
That Villanova Twitter, it wasn't. I mean, I'm happy, I'm happy. Is he a traitor? My eyes lit.
Up when I saw it back on the Illinois Max, What if? what? If he goes to Kentucky, he's not going.
To Kentucky booty ball Max. Although I do have a a trade in place for the rights to Jay Wright for John Calipari. Oh, okay, okay, you would accept that.
Well, yeah, cause he's not going to come back, so I'll give up the rights to get to get. Do you have his rights? Do you want, John?
CAL Yes, we have the rights, huh, you want, John Cal?
Yeah, a hundred percent Italian, he would.
Be good in the Big East. Yeah, keep the keep the Big East. Italian. Yeah, I thought you'd be, I thought you'd put it on a giant, on a red hat with giant letters.
Keep the big East Italian.
I thought you'd be more excited about this revelation. That booty ball has been brought to Illinois by via Jay, right? No, okay, also brought to Illinois via your other team. Penn State Cause that was part of it was Brad Underwood's son is on the coaching staff and he's like, Uh, Jalen Pickett from Penn State.
Last year did Booty ball to us three times, beat us three times. Booty ball can beat anyone. No, yeah, booty ball is great. I've seen a lot.
Of guards, do the booty ball, and it's always fun to watch. um, booty ball is great. Yeah, because you just see these guards, just because the other guards don't know how to defend it.
Right, and they and Jalen Brunson is like, is 100 when he goes to booty ball.
He could literally do that every possession when he was at Nova, it was awesome. And then we just had shooters everywhere. So he would just kick out and it would be open. It was booty ball, easy bucket for Brunson, or kick out wide open.
Did he call it booty ball when he was at Villanova?
I don't think so. I think booty ball was, uh, coach Underwood's son was calling it booty ball after they got torched by Jalen Pickett at Penn State last year. It sounds so much better when it's called booty ball. It's great. She'd be like, what are we going to run today?
Booty ball Yeah, use your ass, and Damask is awesome at booty ball. So Illinois like that is a very big story.
The fact that they broke through and they have a team that could absolutely beat anyone, especially with the way Taryn Shannon's playing. Uh, the other weird story I had from Saturday was, uh, Bill self, yeah. After losing a. Gonzaga said For the last month, I've been thinking about next season. So I, I was, I was thinking about, I actually weirdly like, people were roasting him and in my initial inclination was to roast him too.
But Bill self? the one thing that you can say about Bill Self is. He's actually, like, probably too honest in his press conferences, and too honest with, like, the assessment of his team. He essentially was like, we've been hurt. And we are going to bring back a lot of starters next year, and when I bring back starters, I usually have.
Success. And yeah, I hate it here. Or was he saying that, Um, who's who's the guard that's not playing? Uh, McCullers, yeah?
That McCullers like when he was out, when we found out that he was going to be out for a long time, he was like, Well, our season's over. Yeah, just at that point, he's like, I knew it. And then Hunter Dickinson getting his shoulder torn off, yeah.
But he is.
A very honest coach. Remember there was a couple of years ago when they lost the USC and he's like, I wish Drake had beaten USC. Yeah, I knew that USC was going to beat us. He's very honest.
Except for the hair, although, actually, you know what? So we've talked about Bill self's hair a lot on the show over the course of the years. I about a year ago, I started to turn on it.
And I'm I'm thinking that it might be real hair, yeah. But then you see one shot. I saw one shot yesterday. I was like, No, because I can spot a rug, and I don't think it's a rug.
I think he's got.
A great, great, like astro term, yeah, so that's what I'm saying. Like, a lot of people were saying he's got a wig beforehand. No, I think I think he got a good, a good surgery done.
He got ravaged.
Yeah, he got ravaged, ravaged, ravaged. uh, but yeah, Bill self. People were criticizing for that quote because Gonzaga absolutely torched him. And Mark for You deserves our credit. Nine straight sweet 16s is insane. It's hard to win a game in the tournament and he's gone.
He's won at least two nine straight years. He's also, uh, the stat is 24 straight. March Madness is 15 straight. first round wins nine straight. Sweet 16s. Yeah.
Anyone would sign up for that? Yeah, he doesn't have a title, but you're basically saying to your fans, I will make sure that you guys have that extra week of.
Happiness Every single week of happiness is huge. And not only did they beat Kansas, they destroyed.
Can't destroy them. Played perfect basketball in the second, pumping. Yeah, that was a great game. Uh, what other things from Saturday?
I mean, I was another. Another fun stat to keep your eye on.
Here is, uh, the Tennessee Texas game. Tennessee made that a lot closer than it had to be, cause they couldn't shoot. Worth a, uh, a goddamn. And against Texas, Texas had 19 points in the first half. Against them, uh, Colorado State played Texas the game before Colorado State had how many points?
The first half was at 12 11, 11 points in the first half. Who did Colorado state play before that? Virginia UVA, who had 14 points in the first half? So it's like, we said that Colorado State caught UVA, they caught, uh, what was it?
Cavid 19, Uh. Texas also caught UVA from Colorado State. Yes, so now is Tennessee going to get UV AiDs against Creighton in the next round?
Possibly.
In the first half, I actually think that if you're a Tennessee fan, that was the perfect way to win because it was the way you always lose. Like that game. They just went so cold shooting. But their defense is so much better this year and they, like, their offense is a lot better than it was last year. But their defense, they could rely on their defense when their shooting was bad, and that was a game that Tennessee always loses.
And Rick Barnes always loses where it's like, you're up double digits in the second half. And what just happened? We just lost this game, they survived the what just happened, we just lost this game.
And you have to do that to win like you can. Not everyone's going to be like Yukon last year, where they, you know, beat everyone by double digits. If you win a national title, if you look at every national champion. There's a couple of games mixed in there where you didn't have your best stuff and you just found a way to.
Do it. This could be that game for Tennessee. Yeah, their score connected. He sucked.
He was so bad, so bad, so bad. Finally made a three down the stretch, but for most of the game he couldn't score. They had to rely on ADU and their defense.
Yeah, yeah, Adu and Viscovy, yeah, on defense.
They're legit, so I'm looking forward to that Creighton Tennessee game.
Yeah, and then we had the Oregon Creighton game, which was one of the most electric, weird games because you had Creighton miss. Every wide open shot and Oregon tried to beat a team with two guys, Kusinard and Dante. They took every single shot essentially down the stretch and a double overtime just ran out of gas. Yeah, it felt like Oregon was the better team for most.
Of the game they were, and they just, and then it just kept extending until they ran out of gas.
Until the second overtime, yeah, um, but yeah, yeah, they tried to win with two guys. I've never seen anything like it.
Like Kusinard, that three hit at the end of the what is it regular? No second first overtime was just an insane shot to hit. And they just every single time down the floor is like, one of these two guys has to do it.
Otherwise, we're fucked, and Creighton just outlasted them. Big East six and oh, six and oh, six and oh.
Uh, all right, let's talk some Sunday games. Let me do a quick ad to talk some Sunday games and then little preview of what we got.

EHarmony get who gets you all right? Sunday we talked about your game that sucked.
I'm very worried about Duke, although Houston winning makes me less worried, but Duke played a perfect game.
Duke couldn't miss, They couldn't miss. McCain was on fire. It was a blowout. There's no team that can beat Duke if they shoot that well.
Yeah, the thing is they're probably not going to shoot that well in every other game. But yeah, it was a blowout from start to finish. There was no time. At no point during that game did I feel optimistic. No, no, it actually is crazy to say that, but it's a fact.
The only thing I can hang my hat on is that it wasn't the worst blowout of the by. A lot. Yeah, I mean, like, in this round, Oh. Purdue-Utah State Purdue-Utah State was a 39 point.
Victory Yeah, Purdue. mine was 38, I gotta say I gotta give a lot of credit to Purdue. They, uh, yeah, people will be like, Oh, they didn't play anyone.
They played a 16 seed, they played a Utah State team that was probably overrated because they didn't play anyone non-con. Purdue deserves credit because Purdue has failed so tragically the last couple of years. That to get to the Sweet 16 and to do it the way they did it, where they absolutely shit pumped both the teams along the way and Zach Eady put up just insane, insane stats.
Purdue's very good, I'm not, I'm not I'm a Purdue hater, but I'm also a Purdue Purdue realist.
They're very good at basketball, so what do you have? 23 and 24 today? And they took him out real early. Yeah, no, real early.
He was at the game and he was dominant when he was in. He was dominant when he was in the game. In their opening, uh, against scrambling, yeah.
23 and 14 in against Grambling. I think he had a double double like with like eight minutes left in the first half. Yeah, so I was with 30 and 21, I'll say it.
Purdue's Legit Zach Eady has 53 points and 35 rebounds through two games. Also, Jake, on your wild meter, where do we have it, Purdue in the ultimate wild? Uh, their path. If everyone wins, uh, who's supposed to win would be they're playing Gonzaga.
They played them in the MAUI, they're playing, they would play Tennessee, they played them and beat them in the MAUI. And then, if they, if Marquette, I believe it's Marquette, yeah, that'd be crazy.
Marquette would be the final fourth game they played and beat them in the MAUi, that's exactly how it went in the MAUI. So to say there was one person who's like, they haven't played anyone, it's like they are they could easily. Their next three games could be games that they have already won on the season.
Also, you can't say they.
Haven't played anyone. Hey, you don't control that. B. They earned the number one seed, correct so?
Screw those people, yeah, screw them, yeah. And they could then potentially play Illinois again, who they beat.
So yeah, the championship, they beat them, they did not beat him in the championship. No, I'm saying they could meet in the championship. yes, they've beaten twice.
So they played some really good teams that are all sitting in front of them.
Purdue's a problem, Zach Eaddy is a problem. Yeah, and uh, yeah, he does get some calls. That's not why they won this game.
They won this game because Purdue was dominant and Zach Eaddy was really good, even without the reps on the side. But it is. It's confusing to watch the.
Refs don't know how to officiate it. Matt Painter had a comment after basically calling out anyone who says Zach Eaddy's not good at basketball. I agree with Matt Painter. Anyone who says Zach Eaddy's not good at basketball is a fucking moron.
The guy's good at basketball, especially college basketball. I don't want to. Whatever happens to the N.B.A. happens to the N.BA. He has put on a lot of muscle, gotten a lot better through his years at Purdue. I've watched it, he's, he's put in a lot of work.
He's gotten, he's very good at basketball. I don't love how he's reffed, but I would never say Zach Eaddy's not very good at basketball. Yeah, he's really good. Anyone who says he's not good at basketball, he's just tall, is being a hater he's also got.
A great scowl, very underrated look on his face when he gets into business time, you can tell. And he, like, he does the LeBron face, where he dips his forehead and looks at you at the top.
Of his eyes, Yeah, very intimidating. There's also probably the reason why that narrative is out there is. There's probably two or three times a game where he is just too tall.
Yeah, where it's like, he'll be, he'll pick up a rebound, he'll take it literally off the block and then just not even barely jump and put it back in. And you're like, he's too tall, yeah.
And basketball?
Is always great for that. So that us, uh, five, eight and a half, five, nine people at home can watch and be. Like, if I was just as tall as that guy, I would be so good at basketball. Yeah, without taking into account the fact that your body would be huge and you wouldn't be able to move as quickly as you do, correct?
If you've got these tiny little mickey mouse limbs, correct.
And he's gotten a lot better and a lot bigger and stronger. Uh, Zach Eaddy confirmed. Good at basketball, that was my full say something nice about Purdue. We also had a Colorado marquette, which was one of the best games of the weekend, because that was kind of similar where Colorado has been playing so many games of basketball.
They've been, I don't know, they have six games the last 12 days or something like that. But Marquette is back with Colic looking like they could absolutely win the national title. Colic, someone said it on Twitter, which was so perfect. Colics drive and, uh, lay up with his left, where he kind of does a little bit of body work and then extends his arm and is able to hit it off the backboard.
Is the basketball equivalent of the I don't know how you defend it. He's the smartest player in the tournament. Yeah, just watching the.
Angles that he takes and like, wait, he knows the situation all the time. He makes the perfect play, even at the end of the game. When they were just trying to, they're trying to run the clock out. Take as many seconds as he could on each possession. He knew what to do, he knew when to pass the ball, where to cut in order to take time off.
So they couldn't follow him, yeah, and so they were like they were trying to foul Colic, yeah, and Colic was just too smart for him getting around.
So having that guy running point for you is it's huge. And now that's going to be a good matchup against N.C. State, N.C. State. Team of Destiny I don't know. Team of Destiny survives Oakland.
And uh, yeah, that is going to be. That's going to be a very fun game. And then the other two quick games I want to talk about was, uh, the Alabama Grand Canyon game was one of the most chaotic games I've ever watched of. Not great basketball, but, uh, I d I think if your Grand Canyon great season credit to you. Um, you should just make all your players just walk around with the basketball for the for the entirety of the off season. Cause they just holding onto a basketball was a very, very hard thing for them to do.
And they their, their players would be.
Doing these crossovers, but they wouldn't actually be doing, they would just be in standing in place, but doing crossover dribbles. Not actually moving side to side, just moving the ball from one side of their body to the other. And every time they bounce it, you thought they were going to bounce off their own kneecap or their shin. It was, uh, it was out of control, and then it was just.
Hands and arms flying everywhere for 40 minutes and the ball just randomly bouncing out of bounds. Yeah, and then a basket would get scored now and now and again, and then Alabama running.
The basketball equivalent of the spread offense they're doing, they're doing like, some, some football shit out there well, and they just they go. They like to go ice, so they like to run, and when it works, it's nice, but they also don't play defense.
Yeah, and I, I've, I've been a.
Of Alabama basketball because of our good friend Rico Bosco and his love affair with Nate Oates. They they were watching them in the end of the season, they were soft, they got bullied down low that Florida game.
The SEC tournament was like, they Florida just absolutely dominated them with layups and just being like, stronger than them. Alabama won this game because they were strong, rebounding the ball, because it was Grand Canyon up three, Alabama comes down. And they basically had two minutes where they were on their side of the court because they went. Make three throw, miss three throw, free throw, rebound, make free throw, miss free throw, rebound. And one like, they, just they, they were able to out muscle Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon would would try to.
Run back down and have the same pace that Alabama has. They would pull up and take the worst three point shot that you've ever seen. Yeah, hit off the front of the rim, Alabama gets the ball.
They're back down at the other end, yeah, so Alabama deserves credit there. Oh, we forgot one one.
Other thing was, Iowa State looks really, really good. I want their coach so bad.
He's from Wisconsin. is he really? Yeah, he looks like a Wisconsin guy, he looks like a wrestling.
He looks like he's been like, out muscle burger, he's been out in the sun and springtime drinking.
Milk all day? I can tell, too, that that's like starting to bother, cause I've. I've been included on some some Twitter threads where Iowa State fans are like. He already has his dream job and everyone's like, but he wants to go back. I'm like, I don't want to get involved with this, but yeah, I want him.
Yeah, you could get him, what can we do? You could have him. Does he want it?
Does he want to be the president of Stella Blue Coffee? Would you make that happen easily? I've offered that job to way too many people, but that's fine. Whoever takes it first gets it.
Big effort, it's a big team. Is he the most jacked basketball coach who?
Martin's still coaching, yeah, he's pretty jacked. Jack Buzz is jacked, yeah.
Buzz is absolutely jacked. Bruce Pearl. sneaky, kind of. Jack Barrel chested. Yeah, Bruce Pearl went out. sad that Auburn, everyone's bracket got busted with Auburn.
The analytics darling. Did you know Auburn was, you know, top five in both these things? It was. I love the the week leading up to the brackets, where it's like, it's now just tick, tock. You can't go one one, tick, tocker. Instagram scroll without some dude being like, I got the perfect formula. Yeah, everyone.
Everyone has a formula, everyone does, and I believe them all and every year, they're wrong.
Yeah, but yeah, these these games are I'm so excited for next weekend. What other? what other games did we miss? Houston? A&M, Yeah.
That was incredible. I mean, Houston, almost like that was the fact that Houston let Texas A&M get to overtime. That would have been an all time.
All time, all time March madness loss. So they had a 99 win probability, Atlanta Falcons like win probability with 44 seconds left. I think what A&m was down was it? 12 with 11 with one 48, I think 11 with one 48 left. And then somehow, through the magic of Wade, who just took every shot possible out there.
Um, they, they claw back, get to overtime.
And then everyone on Houston felled out, Yeah, I mean, Texas A&M had a buzz. Williams coached a perfect game in the fact that he from the very first whistle. Their entire strategy was go to the hoop on every possession and make them follow you, and they did, but Shed was too good.
I mean, that that hop step by shed, where he just, I think. He started almost at the three point line and ended up in the lane for that bucket. Down the stretch. He was the only guy left. We had the we had the guy who was sitting on the bench, named Elvin. Elvin, came in and hit a free throw.
Elvin was a name from our D and D quests. Elvin. No, like you can be. that's like Elf-like would be Elvin. you can have Elvin, Elvin features.
Elvin Wizard Yeah, yeah, that's elf. so like your cake, the elf-like wizard, Elvin.
ELVIN Yeah, like, that means to like, have qualities.
Pertaining to an elf, Yeah, all right, who's going to be mad that we didn't mention them?
Uconn's the fucking best. Yeah, okay, so let's just suck Uconn's dick real quick, Uconn.
Is going to win the national championship. I mean, they're doing the same thing again. I mean, the San Diego State will be definitely a step up from Northwestern and Stetson.
Yeah, but I have no. I think they'll kill them. I want to be very clear, UConn is going to win the National Championship, also going to win the National Championship.
UNC is going to win the National Championship, Arizona is going to win the National Championship, Gonzaga is going to win it, Purdue is going to win the National Championship. N.C. State's the team of destiny.
Marquette's going to win the National Championship. N.C. State is the team of destiny. They're probably going to lose at some point. Houston is a tough out, I think Houston's going to win the National Championship.
And also Duke, Duke's playing great ball right now, the way they shot today.
Duke's playing great ball right now.
Duke is going to win the national championship.
Purdue is also going to win the national championship.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about Purdue.
Because Virginia last, you know, when Virginia lost to Sweet Sixteen, they won the National.
Purdue's going to win the Natty.
It's in the script.
Yep.
Creighton's going to. If Creighton hits their threes, they will probably win the national championship.
UH, Tennessee, Rick Barnes.
Actually, the only to go full circle on this. The only team that's not going to win the national Championship is the team we disrespected going into the tournament. Clemson will not win the national Championship.
Yeah, zero chance.
And now they will, No, it's not, they will.
If that happens, I'll get a cat.
Oh, okay.
That's exciting.
I'm not going to, Yeah, I think they will, just because we said they won't.
They're not Clemson's not going to win. I'm reverting back to my initial take. Clemson doesn't deserve to be here.
Yeah, um, all right, Jake, what do you got for one shining moment? Or just, Uh, you know what announcer did a good job? What was that announcer that I motherfucked on Saturday night?
Andrew Cattelan.
Piece of shit, no wrong, piece of shit, wrong.
Wrong, he called the. he called a technical foul. No, what did he call? Yeah, he called it. did he say, technical foul.
No, he wasn't.
I forget, Yeah, there's been so many things that I've gotten mad at.
You can't do that.
Adam Lefkoe's kind of stealing your swag.
Yeah, but I know him personally, he's a good guy, he's a good guy.
But I'm watching the games.
Yeah, a little bit.
And there's been a few times where I'm like, I have to do a second glance because I'm like, is that big cat? and it's like, No.
Listen, wait, it's the fact, like, how's he stealing the swag?
He looks kind of like my advisors.
Yeah, he's got the.
He's got a turtleneck and the yeah, yeah, by the way, he kind of looks like me.
I'm watching the games on TNT Rover, he says. Welcome back, it's me, Lefkoe.
I love that he's a good dude. Yeah, that's all right, you know?
It's like stealing my swag.
It's like Cher, one name.
Yeah, that was my only other, that was just my observation over the weekend was.
Yeah, but I like, I like Lefkoe, we're like long lost brothers, so he's he did a good job.
Respect, All right, so Jake, tell us what we missed.
Yeah, so Florida, Colorado. Entering the weekend, that was the game of the tournament. Walter Clayton That was awesome.
Hits three to tie it at a hundred.
Yes.
And then Colorado hit a jumper to win it. One, oh two, one hundred in regulation. You never see that in college.
That hung on the rim, right, that one. Yeah, this is fun.
There's a trip down memory lane because it's like, I watched all these games, but I do remember that that one was like, the quiet shot.
Yes, exactly same spot.
Who was that shot against?
I think.
What team was that?
Let's go to the let's go to the next one. Okay, sorry, Yale.
Yale Stuns, Auburn, Nebraska. Is Tomonaga getting emotional?
Yeah, I mean, Tomonaga, Tomonaga. That was the that was the best five minutes that Nebraska basketball has ever played.
And then they got absolutely dog walk.
It's just crazy to me that Nebraska, a school that big, with such a good athletic department overall, has never won a tournament game.
They never won a tournament. It's crazy, yes.
Grand Canyons win over St. Mary's was dominant.
Yep.
That was Friday.
Yep.
Dante, you mentioned alley-oop. We had a halftime buzzer beater from Clemson today. okay, so more flowers to Clemson.
For a halftime buzzer beater.
Yeah, halftime buzzer, beater.
Just giving out the moments. I'm going to say no flowers for that.
Giving out the moments left and right.
Halftime buzzer Beater No.
And then A&M Miracle Forces Ot.
And then what about your one shining moment that was, oh, that was, oh, you think Clemson halftime buzzer Beater is going to be on one shining moment, yeah?
Yeah, okay.
It was a deep one.
Was that their signature moment?
They had the announcer call.
What about Oregon's in the first game first on Thursday halftime buzzer Beater?
Halftime buzzer Beater Yeah, I have that.
Oh, okay.
What do you have?
No, no, no on Thursday. Oh, halftime buzzer beater.
I don't have that.
So not all halftime buzzer beaters are built the same.
Yeah.
Okay, what moment do you have in the JMU Wisconsin game?
I don't know if I have any specific moments.
It's probably one of our 75 turnovers.
Yeah, I don't have any specific moments. I'm sure there's going to be something, but it's probably just like you guys hitting a.
Three, it's probably about that guy, it's probably like JMU celebrating after.
The guy in the stands yelling at the other guy in the tux.
Yeah, yeah, what about that guy shutting the fuck up? Yeah, okay.
Yeah, that's good.
We could create our own.
What have you? How would you grade this tournament, Jake?
So I've compared this tournament a lot to the 2019 tournament, where Virginia won it all. Also good news for Purdue, where it was mostly chalk in the first weekend. We had all ones and twos advance, which this time, I think it's like the fifth or sixth time ever we've had that to this year 16..
But in that second weekend we had some crazy games. You remember that Purdue, Tennessee sweet 16 game? I think Ryan Klein was his name. He dropped like 40, he went to overtime, I think.
And then the Elite Eight game was the Virginia Purdue game with Mamadi Diakite.
So I like how you said that.
Yeah, he was ready.
And then they won it all. So I think we're lining up to have an incredible Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.
Call it a shot, I like it.
It's going to be a great week to look at the logos that are playing against each other this upcoming weekend.
Because, like, think about it, if it was Uconn Yale, no disrespect to Yale, it's like, all right.
Battle for Connecticut?
Yeah, that'd be a great storyline in Boston, but they would have won by 20..
Yeah, they would have killed them.
And they might still beat San Diego State by 20. But at least like, you have the storyline of the championship rematch and all of that.
And then how about that Yale big sweater guy? Oh yeah.
Good for him.
He had some huge shoulders.
He's on the moment, right, Jake?
Yeah, he's gotta be.
Yeah, that's a moment, that's for sure a moment.
Also, What'd you count four?
Four.
Underwhelming, oh.
That part's underwhelming, not great.
Have we figured out what to call it? Because there was one of the hoops on Thursday? Yeah, the net was too tight, the net was so tight that the ball was getting stuck in the net.
I don't know how they don't loosen them up, but whatever.
What do you call those?
I think Megan said, Netters maybe.
Netters.
Be careful with that.
Okay.
Why just don't say that one again? You pronounce things very well, but just to be safe? yeah, just to be safe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a good list, though, Jake. It's been a fun tournament I'm excited for this week.
Definitely not the most chaotic opening weekend we've seen.
But still, the Kentucky game, Kentucky's gotta look at this sweet 16 and be like, all our old friends are there. Yeah, we're not.
Yeah, tough day for Kentucky. Yeah, seeing that.
Kentucky and Kansas.
Yeah.
Kansas won it all two years ago, yeah.
And Bill self was worried about next year.
Yeah, put me down, actually. I want to do a future on Kansas for next season.
No, I actually....
Bill Self's already looking ahead.
Someone.
Hold on, are you ready for this? mm-hmm.
Kansas might return four starters next year. Here's how Bill self did when that happens. 21-22 National Champions 15-16, number one overall seed 0-9-0-10..
Number one overall seed 0-7-0-8.
National Champs 0-6-0-7, number one overall seed.
Yeah, see, Bill self is thinking about next year, so I'm thinking about next year.
Yeah.
Next year's?
They're gonna be a really good team next year.
This was the season before the season for Kansas. Yes, there was a person online, Pranav Sreeman, that asked an interesting question that I thought I'd bring up to embrace debate here, they said. Who's the worst N.B.A. player that could lead the worst team in the tournament to the final? Oh.
Like, who's the worst N.B.A. player that could take?
Who's the worst team in the tournament? to the final? yeah, or to win the championship? who's the worst team?
I think it was Stetson or Howard.
Or uva.
Yeah.
Yeah, UVA, who's the worst player in the N.B.A. that you could put on UVA and have them win the national championship? I think I know my answer.
I think.
Because there's only like.
Maybe like three or four guys.
Wagner was.
Oh, I think there's way more than that.
To take.
Yeah.
That could take the worst team and beat every other team with that.
I don't know NBA players are so much better than college basketball players, it's insane.
Sam Hauser.
Yeah, probably.
Think about it, he's the best player and they're saying like, he's going to be a what fringe first-rounder.
Yeah.
I don't know if even that, yeah.
And he's the best player right now.
Cam Payne.
You think Cam Payne could win?
Could lead UVA.
I do too, just off vibes, just based off vibes.
Bobby Portis.
Bobby.
No, you'd need to be like....
Well, Virginia would be.
You gotta be a scorer, you gotta be a scorer wing.
Ultimate test because it's such a weird system to play in.
I think you lean into it, you lean into the defensive pressure.
Sam Hauser would be good.
But wait, there's gotta be more than four, I mean....
Wait, wait, wait.
Luka Tatum, LeBron, probably Anthony Davis Jokic.
If you want to lean into the UVA-ness of it all, put Pat Bev on that team.
Yeah.
I mean, imagine Embiid playing college basketball. It would be Wilt.
Yeah, like there's so many guys that would just dominate.
Wimby.
Wimby.
Nobody could stop Wimby. There's not a team in college basketball right now that could do a goddamn thing about Victor Wimbenyama.
Someone did say something very mean with her. Like Zach, Yeady is exactly like Victor Wimbenyama. Minus the shot making, the versatility, the handles, the speed, the skill. That was mean.
The tallness is there.
The tallness is there.
You can't coach tall.
Yeah, no, I think there's a lot, I mean, it's not, I think it's more than 15 or 20..
Kawhi would dominate.
I was thinking about Kawhi earlier, but he would dominate for sure, but could you just rely on him to single-handedly win every game?
I don't know how anyone would.
You'd have to like Triple-team him, Steph, Steph almost did it with Davidson.
But Steph doesn't count because he's one of the best players in the NB.A. that could do it.
Yeah, no, I'm just saying, there's.
You said there's only four players that could do it.
I think there's like four.
I think there's like five 20-plus easy.
I mean, the N.B.A. is way better, I know that.
Yeah, I just all these guys.
Thinking about it, Oh, Giannis, would be a problem.
Giannis would be a fucking.
He'd be a problem.
He would dominate everyone. It would be a joke watching it.
I'd like to see that.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I just think, because then what do you do?
You put like three guys on him and then you just have everyone else stand around and shoot.
Think of it this way. Jimmer almost did it by himself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he sucked.
Yeah, it's true.
Yeah, but he was good, great point.
Golki be Kentucky.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a great point. Yeah, I think you could. I think you put a lot of guys on UVA and they would fuck everyone up pretty bad.
Especially because UVa could actually play defense. So then you just add one more defensive like stopper, no one would score on him, and then you just have that one guy score all the points.
Yeah, I think UVA is probably the wrong example to use for that one.
Yeah.
But like Longwood.
