Hour 2 – Geno’s Apology Rings Hollow, Ray Allen

00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Our two on.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: This Monday gangs all here, best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked, you didn't like? Yukon grad Ray Allen will join us coming up in a little bit.

00:00:15
Speaker 3: Thank you.

00:00:15
Speaker 2: Got roughed up on social media because his T shirt was too tight that he was wearing raised in great shape. I don't know if anybody could be real critical of Ray Allen with the tight T shirt. The Minister of Humor, Fritzie is here. Seaton, Marv, Paulie Seaton and Marv Yukon fans pulling for Yukon tonight, Todd, you're pulling for.

00:00:39
Speaker 3: I'm pulling for Michigan. O.

00:00:40
Speaker 4: Just to mix things up a little bit, not that Michigan hasn't had a share of winning in their storied franchise.

00:00:45
Speaker 2: Holliw what about you?

00:00:46
Speaker 3: You got?

00:00:47
Speaker 2: Okay? That was the poll question from our one Who you rooting for? Seatan? Would you update the results from our one?

00:00:55
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:00:55
Speaker 5: An right now, Dan Nation as it were about fifty six percent rooting for Michigan.

00:01:01
Speaker 2: Pretty close. Okay, yeah, fine with that. I did wonder when did we go from nine to twenty eastern to eight fifty. I was told eight point fifty was started last year. So then I checked with my college basketball source. I said why. He says teams involved in the game are typically typically Eastern in Central time zones. Thus it's made sense to move the championship game earlier. Also, the games were running long, you want to kind of time it out, getting into local programming as well, and the viewership of staying up that late on a school night. But the national title game Yukon is a six and a half point underdog. Now, I was curious about the over under because, as I mentioned, if it's a sixty three possession game, if that's the total or it's under that, Michigan is vulnerable. That's proven this year sixty three sixty two possessions total, Michigan is vulnerable. The over under for tonight's game from DraftKings is one forty four and a half. If you can keep it in the sixties, Connecticut will win. I think if it gets into mid to upper seventies or low eighties, it feels like this is Michigan's game eight seven to seven to three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at Dpshow, congratulations that was an oh, by the way, national championship for UCLA only because the spotlight was on Connecticut and South Carolina, in particular the two coaches. But hey, Ucla, that was no fluke. They dominated dominated South Carolina, and it certainly felt like South Carolina was playing its national title game against Connecticut. Auburn won the NIT. How about a round of applause for Armor calls that, Adam, would you rather win the NT or a play in or first round game in March madness? So you make the tournament and you play on like a Tuesday or Wednesday night. You win that game, but then you lose your next game Seaton.

00:03:23
Speaker 5: Uh well, I was actually wondering where the Crown is and all of that. There's another tournament called the Crown Tournaments in there. Yes, Now there's a third tier tournament or is that the second tier in NIT has moved down? Now?

00:03:33
Speaker 2: Well didn't there used to be a CBI. Yeah they took the year off, Oh they did. Yeah, Okay, we'll be okay though, right, So you can win the NIT or you could win your first round play in game?

00:03:44
Speaker 4: Yes, time think I want to be in the regular tournament. No one's really thinking about the NIT. You want to see your name on the brackets, even if it's an early exit. I'm in the dance, you know, as opposed to any other bake one.

00:03:55
Speaker 2: Well, the money aspect of that, I don't know what you get to for win the NIT. The NIT was the original tournament, yes it was that used to be the big one. But you're winning. You're getting a couple of million dollars for that first win in March madness. I don't know what you get for the NIT except for a round of applause of the Dan Patrick Show.

00:04:15
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, I do like the fact that they play the NIT final at the Hoosiers field House.

00:04:19
Speaker 3: I can't think of the name of it. Hankel Hankel. Love that part. But as far as the NIT, now you can have it.

00:04:25
Speaker 2: Good morning if you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner of the NBC Sports Network, or listening on our radio affiliates around the country. By the way, I got college basketball title odds for next year. The team that is favored to win it all next year college basketball Marvin Duke, Yes, why'd you take all the suspensea just.

00:04:50
Speaker 3: The way they run things they're going to reload.

00:04:54
Speaker 2: Florida is second, followed by Arizona, Michigan State, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, Houston, Arkansas, and Connecticut. I'm sure Dan Hurley loves that. It's like, okay, see, you know, play for a national championship tonight. And I talked to Iron Eagle be on the call tonight for TBS. See, I thought, for some reason, I'm thinking CBS. Yeah, but it's TBS. But it's been that way for a little while. Just in my mind, I keep thinking it's CBS. Wouldn't you get a bigger number on CBS than TBS. It's like if you have a game on ESPN or you have a game on ABC college football, But I don't know. I'm sure my college basketball source will text me on that. We did invite Geno orim on don Staley just to see if they wanted to talk about this. Gino did issue a statement and apologizing. I wish that he would have mentioned Don Staley's name, because he didn't, and that's a glaring omission. Whoever is helping him write this curate this. You got to put in don Stally in there. You do just pr wise but he didn't. You know, I apologize basically to South Carolina, the staff, the players, but that was that was a bad moment, bad moment, and that's where you're winning fifty four consecutive games and all of a sudden you realize you're not better than South Carolina that night. And I think that's where what he said and how he said it was out of frustration, maybe desperation. You were not going to beat South Carolina because that was a great, great team effort, and then all of a sudden people forgot about Ucla. Well, if you beat Connecticut, you're going to beat UCLA. And Lauren Betts that team, that's a veteran team, and they played really well. They dominated all right.

00:07:01
Speaker 7: Pull.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: Question for hour two is gonna be on Seaton. No counter.

00:07:05
Speaker 5: We got two up there right now, four hour two, Hold please tonight's game. Michigan rolls. Michigan wins the tight one. Yukon rolls, Yukon wins the tight one. That's from Todd. Here's another one from Todd two. Expanding the NCAA tournament further beyond sixty eight teams is greedy and unnecessary, fantastic more teams or it doesn't matter.

00:07:29
Speaker 2: I'm watching. Yeah, they got us. I mean, who cares if they add eight more teams, It doesn't matter. It's Tuesday and Wednesday. This is what we've talked about all year long. They're going to do it. They're just going to extend that opening round and you're gonna have, you know, four more games. Nobody's gonna complain about that, and then you're gonna get your bracket and then you're gonna be fine because you don't fill out your bracket with the other teams and you got sixty four and you're ready to go.

00:07:59
Speaker 8: No.

00:08:00
Speaker 2: Is it greed? You could say all of college you know, football and basketball is greed, certainly football. And yes, it's all about money. Yeah, Pauli.

00:08:10
Speaker 9: It was twenty eleven when the nca tournament expanded with the first four, and there's a lot of blowback, but they almost stumbled into something. They're able to expand the tournament without changing the tournament. Yeah, they still have sixty four. Your bracket still looks the same. They're still one versus sixteen, and they found like a loophole to add teams without changing it.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Let's got a couple of phone calls in here, Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha. Best and worst of the weekend.

00:08:39
Speaker 10: Still in France, DP, speaking of Chainsmokers, Happy Monday boys. I got a couple of bars for you, GP. I heard you in hour one. I'm going going back to back to Cali, Cali. Last day here and I'm not gonna lie. I'm in the Missis three pm. Call in Dan, I'm not gonna lie. It's been nice, but I digress. Best of the weekend, and I hesitate to bring this up, but uh, Michigan putting the SmackDown on Arizona in a fantastic fashion. I mean, I feel like Arizona and Goa and Zagar are like the serial bracketbusters, like the Chargers of the college basketball world. And I hope, I hope Yukon took note. It's Marvin, That's all I got to say. And worst of the weekend, Dan, my banged up Lakers as a whole. And I mean to bring this up, I mean, did you watch Bronny this weekend? Run the point?

00:09:26
Speaker 11: I mean it was, it was wild.

00:09:28
Speaker 10: He looked at about as comfortable as you know. Fritzie getting out of the sausage costume in Milwaukee like, I mean, he was getting mugged up the court. I mean it leaves me really questioning why mac McClung doesn't have it. He doesn't have one spot on an NBA bench anywhere.

00:09:43
Speaker 2: Thank you Buddha, Safe travels back. Yeah, I'm watching. I mean the Lakers are cooked.

00:09:50
Speaker 11: You know.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: You got Reeves who's out for the rest of the regular season with an oblique He got Luca going to Europe for some kind of treatment, probably also to see his with his estranged girlfriend or fiance. Who knows when he's coming back. Let's see. I've been informed that TBS gets the Final Four every other year. Turner paid the majority of the money in the media agreement. The original agreement with Turner and CBS was done. Now that Paramount is likely to own Warner Brothers Turner, it'll be interesting to see if they move it to CBS for the balance of the agreement. Forgot all about that that big merger that they had. Chris and Syracuse. Good morning, Chris, what's on your mind?

00:10:39
Speaker 8: Hey?

00:10:40
Speaker 12: Thanks Dan? I got a best to comment a possible Vegas name. My best Michigan playing for a national title tonight, and I know if Michigan wins tonight, it'll be the first time in twenty six years since a Big Ten school won a men's national title in basketball. And I wonder if, ever the Big Ten to one national titles in both men and women's in the same year. And hard to believe if you're playing the career salary game in the NFL, the answer to who is number two is Kirk Cousins. Unreal if that's true. He may not be the best quarterback of all time, but he's arguably the best businessman of all time. And Dan, I have a Las Vegas name to throw in the hopper, and hard to believe, Dan, but I'll shock it. It's from one of my favorite movies to Las Vegas Rounders.

00:11:30
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well, Matt Damon have him show up. That'd be nice ed Norton, you get them? Ryan in Detroit, Hi, Ryan, what's on your mind?

00:11:42
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:11:43
Speaker 12: Thanks for calling me back?

00:11:44
Speaker 13: Dan, yep, I got a best and a worst, and then a poll question suggestion worst is Gina or Emma.

00:11:51
Speaker 3: That was bad?

00:11:53
Speaker 13: My best. I'm actually squeezing this into the weekend. Is Hian Eagle's rap about the robot delivery that that was incredible. And then my poll question is which Bill rafferty slogan is the best? Is it onions with a kiss or lingerie on the deck?

00:12:16
Speaker 2: I like onions onions, Yes, I always like that. I saw one of those robots when we were in San Francisco in our hotel and at night they were plugged in late at night, well actually early morning because we were getting up really early to do the show for the Super Bowl I'm sorry, the Big Game, and they were plugged in into a like together in a wall outlet, and I saw one of them come up. So I'm on the elevator and I'm on with one of those little robots, and I realized that there are two floors, and I know that he doesn't get out or she doesn't get out when she's supposed to or it's supposed to. It do I have to have pronouns for the robot there look underneath like it I could. I didn't know the robot that much that well it and I realized that it didn't get off the floor and it got off late and it banged into the door, and like I felt bad for the robot, but I'm like, dude, you better get out of here. I don't know if he can hear or you know they can hear me. And it banged into the door and I thought, uh oh, so I was going up to my floor and then the robot was still on. I don't know what happened on the way back down. Yeah, Todd, I saw.

00:13:36
Speaker 4: Went in la crossing the street and it got stuck in a puddle and it was just kind of going in circles. So I didn't know if I should like get involved somehow and just kind of move it on its way and help it cross the street as these people wait for their food to maybe never get delivered.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: Matt easy, three piece, get your hands off me, Todd, creep Matt and rivers side. Then we'll take a break. Ray Allen said to join us.

00:13:59
Speaker 8: I'm hey, how's going? Happy Monday to you? And the boys got a best and worst? Best is seeing Manchester City kind of kick Liverpool out of the FA Cup for nil, and then also see Arsenal crash out. Worst of the weekend a R I Z O and A my Wildcats looks like zombies on Saturday. But I'm gonna go ahead and blame the basketball play basketball court and also playing in the stadium. Can we just get away from that? And also the Winner Classic being in baseball stadium kind of takes the lore of fans being close up to the court.

00:14:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not going away with these big, big stadiums. They want that revenue. But thank you, Matt, thank you. Yeah, they want seventy two thousand in there.

00:14:48
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, I was looking at the prices for bad seats in the stadium, four hundred, five hundred dollars for section six hundred.

00:14:59
Speaker 2: Ye.

00:15:00
Speaker 9: It's like, as a fan of one of those two teams, you just don't want to say you were there and you'll eat the bad game experience.

00:15:08
Speaker 2: We'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. Best and Worst of the Weekend Ray Allen, Connecticut fan alum. He was there yesterday over the weekend. So we'll talk to Ray and we'll give you our best and worst of the weekend coming up right after this.

Latest proposed tournament structure, which appears likely to be the final plan, is seventy six teams from what I'm told, and we'll be announced later this month and in effect for the men's and women's tournaments coming up next year. By the way, Yukon has now covered seventeen of its last eighteen tournament games and goes into tonight's game is a six and a half point underdog. Former Yukon great Hall of Famer Ray Allen joining us from Indianapolis. How nervous are you?

00:16:41
Speaker 7: My nervousness existed when we played Michigan State because you're playing an Izzo squad that always comes prepared. So back then I was nervous, I guess because Duke was not the best team in the country. I started that game thinking, you know, we play our best and we have a change ants and so I wasn't nervous then. And it's those those games that get through slip through the cracks, like we lost to Creighton and Marquette during the year and I was like, okay, we we dropped the bomb there in those two games. So it's really always been about how Yukon plays for me, and if they come playing in a full cylinder, it's hard for anybody to beat them.

00:17:21
Speaker 2: But also I mentioned Michigan wants this game in the eighties. Connecticut probably needs this game to be in the sixties. How does Connecticut do that?

00:17:31
Speaker 7: Well, it's interesting because there's a there's a if you watch Michigan, they get the ball out of net and they run. That has typically been historically how Yukon has always played.

00:17:42
Speaker 11: We've been an up tempo, fastbreak type of team.

00:17:45
Speaker 7: If you watch the game against Illinois, whenever we have those scoring droughts, the three balls not falling and say Terrace Reid hasn't really scorn. But what you also notice is when we do get stopped, because defensively we've been solid.

00:18:01
Speaker 11: We never pushed the ball up the floor.

00:18:03
Speaker 7: We're playing against the five man set defense every single time, and it makes it more difficult, especially when at this time of the year in the tournament, when you got really good defensive teams. They're gonna take what Terris Reed is doing away from us. They're gonna trail caravan and make sure they get a hand in his face. So we in a sense, we have to be able to kind of engage in that fast, break up tempo game with Michigan in the same token beat them at their own game.

00:18:30
Speaker 2: Wow, Because I remember Indiana did that against UNLV when Steve Alford was playing, and everybody said, oh, Indiana can't run with UNLV, but Indiana ran with UNLV ended up winning the title. Does Yukon of have the talent to run this and play a game in the eighties go toe to toe that way with Michigan.

00:18:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, And remember we don't have to be a better team to Michigan. We just have to be better than tonight. So it's it's really about kind of meeting them toe for toe. So when they get the ball in it and they run, don't then slow the game down and then come up and set up a set, because I do think we have such an interesting offensive movement where the ball is you figure the way it's transferring from one side to the next side to the next side, and you know, you can make the case that you know so much movement that you know you're how many guys can shoot in that quick of a motion from three point line to be so consistent, so to be able to get that scoring opportunity and transition off a rebound, that's some of the best times to get three pointers, you know, on transition where somebody drives it to the hole and then kicks it out to a standstill shooter.

00:19:51
Speaker 2: If I said there was an alumni game prior to the national title, I know where this is going. So I got Michigan versus you on all the alumn who are at the game tonight. So I got fab Five's there? Who wins an alumni game?

00:20:07
Speaker 7: Are we talking about just the guys that are somewhat in intendans? Are we talking about historical so the best we produced.

00:20:13
Speaker 2: Just those who are there?

00:20:15
Speaker 7: Oh now we're talking about East player.

00:20:18
Speaker 11: In their prime?

00:20:19
Speaker 7: No, no, right now, oh, right now, right now, We'll get them because uh well, I mean you have to say you know, all the five five are older than me, so so now I would I would be a sacrificial lamb because you know, we'll negate ourselves because we're older, we're in our fifties. But then you you got a Mecca Oka four there, you got Shabbaz Nap you're there. You got Rope Ryan Boat right there, you got uh Kimba Walker there. So you're talking about guys that could still play potentially really in the NBA right now?

00:20:55
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, uh what do you see? Now? Let me take you back to you stayed three years at Connecticut. Yeah, okay, but given today's NBA, you probably would leave after a year. Like Braylen Mullins to me, I don't know if he stays because he'll be projected to be a first round pick in today's NBA. You know, you got these guys who want to get into that second contract and like you know Reed Shepherd with Houston, he wasn't ready. But then they give you a couple of years to develop. So do you see that kind of as the scenario with Mullins, that you're one and done even though you may not be ready for the NBA.

00:21:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, because college there's so much instability on that team the next year. That's why when Caravan came back, I was excited for him. And you know, one would say, I don't know where his draft stock is, but the fact that he's playing in another national championship, you're good on him and congratulations because he's one of now the winningest players all time in college. I don't know where he ranks, but he's up there with with some of the best. So it's hard to make that discernment from who was actually going to be on your team next year because the transport portal opens up I think tomorrow, So what's going to be available, Who's going to leave teams? And so now Bragland has to make that decision based on what his squad may look like next year. And obviously we always say now with these head coaches, you got to recruit your own team back, you know, figure out what you're going to be building for next year. So Braglan definitely has to take that into consideration. I do, personally, I think that, you know, after my sophomore year was you know, I'd scored thirty six in the turn becauset UCLA the eventual national championship in ninety six or ninety five, and everybody there was blurbs and me leaving, and it was a different time then, and I was like, no, I need to come back to really kind of poke my chest out a little bit and kind of prove that, you know, I'm wanted the better, if not the best player in college, which I was able to do so after my junior year. Is no way I was making to my seat year. So I think Braylan's depending on the circle that's around him and and his ability to kind of think through this process and and bet on himself. It does depend on that tremendously. It does depend on the family life. It depends on his relationship with with coach Hurley, how strong that is, and you know, his ability to come back and say, hey, I think I could be even better player and get drafted top five if not number one next year.

00:23:27
Speaker 2: Talking to Ray Allen, Hall of Famer, you, Conna Lum played three seasons for the Huskies. How would you have done with Danny Hurley's style of coaching?

00:23:35
Speaker 11: I love his his style of coaching. He's similar to Calhoun.

00:23:40
Speaker 7: You know, he he rides hard for his players, he stays on him.

00:23:45
Speaker 11: Uh.

00:23:45
Speaker 7: He coaches you hard. We're we're in a We're in an era of basketball that I've seen. You know, I coached in high school. If you say anything negative to the players, and the kids assume that you don't like them, and then the parents have said you emails and they're having conversations with the athletic director and trying to find a way to, you know, put their thumb on you. And you know, with with with Hurley, coaches come to him and the parents say, and I heard this with Braylan's dad. I needed somebody to coach Braylan hard because he's going to get the best out of him. And guys that want that they come to Yukon. I wanted it, you know Calhoun. I saw Calhoun the first couple of practices and his coaching staff, and I saw how hard he went and how ferocious he was as a coach of practice, and I said, remind me not to do that thing that that player did. You know, And it's it's very easy to pay attention. If you hold yourself accountable and you just work as hard you can't, you have nothing to worry about.

00:24:43
Speaker 2: Help me understand the T shirt that you got roughed up on social media for.

00:24:48
Speaker 11: The T shirt. Yeah what T shirt?

00:24:51
Speaker 2: They said that you were wearing a tight T shirt.

00:24:55
Speaker 11: Me.

00:24:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh that's just my muscles. My muscles was you know, you know, I'm putting on packing on the muscles I've been lifting. So if somebody had something to say about my T shirt, they were just oh.

00:25:07
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, yeah yeah, I mean, what are you fifty?

00:25:12
Speaker 11: I'm fifty. Yeah, I'm fifty, and uh.

00:25:14
Speaker 2: I think it's time to get rid of the tight T shirts. I mean, I'm just I don't.

00:25:19
Speaker 11: Wear tight T shirts. I just wear shirts. Shit, I know that I like feeling comfortable in.

00:25:24
Speaker 7: So if somebody else deems them tight, that's those people's in securities.

00:25:27
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's my insecurity then.

00:25:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:25:30
Speaker 7: See, because you're right now, that hoodie got on looks like it's a double to a triple lection large.

00:25:34
Speaker 11: We can get you in something little smaller.

00:25:35
Speaker 2: Are you wearing that Yukon sweatshirt tonight?

00:25:38
Speaker 11: Uh?

00:25:39
Speaker 8: Not this?

00:25:39
Speaker 7: When I have something else something. See, when you come to the final four. Here's the thing about Final four. You needed a hoodie that says GDP on it the Great Damn Pass. But when you come to the final four. First of all, a week before nobody knows who's going to be here. You know, it just kind of happens. So you pack, you know, with the optimism of I'm gonna be here for four days, and they get you to the hotels because you have to get a hotel for four days.

00:26:05
Speaker 11: You can't just buy it from one or two.

00:26:07
Speaker 7: So I either if we lose on Saturday, I overpacked, and then being here still to today you have to figure out, Okay, did I pack enough?

00:26:17
Speaker 11: So you kind of have to kind of run it back a little bit here and there.

00:26:20
Speaker 2: What was tough for facing Iverson in college or in the NBA.

00:26:27
Speaker 7: Both, you know, there wasn't really a difference. And John Thompson, you know, let Iverson go. He let them play his game. And you know all those guys, you know, Bubakar ale Othella, the different supporting cast he had going to the Sixers with Aaron McKee and Eric Snow Like, all those guys knew who Allen Iverson was and they catered their offense to him. So it was hard on both levels to stop Hill because he knew exactly who he was and he played his game similar at both levels, and obviously when he got to the NBA, you know, they built teams around him again and we were trying to figure out I think I got really adept at understanding who he was, you know, his moves because I played a lot against him in playout Basket Bustle. Statistically, I knew where scoring zones were, you know, the moves he wanted to make. But it's still was hard to stay in front of him because he was so small that he get in gaps and you know, he moved up and down the floor and there wasn't a shot that he didn't like, or for that matter, that he couldn't.

00:27:36
Speaker 2: Make it that, or that he couldn't take. You're right, Yeah, I keep seeing these stories now about how dirty John Stockton was. Like guys are reminiscing about facing Stockton and whether it's Gary Payton or Baron Davis, and was Stockton dirty to you?

00:27:54
Speaker 11: Well, he stocked on was.

00:27:56
Speaker 7: Is always my example to the young people when I say, if you look at John Stockton, you asked what physical attributes did he possess that you would look at and say this guy is a beast.

00:28:10
Speaker 11: The thing that I learned from Stockton is he did the simple thing over and over again.

00:28:14
Speaker 7: Out of ten passes, one might be behind the back pass. He set the hardest screens, and I think to what people would be alluding to with him, as he would when he set the cross screen on for Carl Malan and that he would pass the ball and he cut across the lane.

00:28:31
Speaker 11: He set the.

00:28:31
Speaker 7: Screen, and he did two things really well. One obviously he set the screen really well, but occasionally he would grab your jersey then hold you, or if you try to run him over, then he'd fall and then you would get the.

00:28:47
Speaker 11: Foul. So he was really a depth at playing the game.

00:28:50
Speaker 7: And because he was small, nobody expected him or thought that he could overpower you or athletically beat you. But he played the game smartly, and so he's a great example of the lesson for young people that you don't have to have this highly skilled physical ability to be an all star, be one of the all time greats, and he's certainly example of that.

00:29:12
Speaker 2: How does it play out tonight, Ray.

00:29:15
Speaker 7: Well, I mean there's a couple of different scenarios for you kind of think that we have to make sure that we have a good start and we can't have those little scoring droughts throughout the game because Michigan is not going to give us any reprieve. So if you see Caravan score early, get to the free throw line, get to the whole same thing with solo ball, then it's going to be a close game and it's going to be a tough night for Michigan. But if we start early and it's like a seven zero nine zero game where we're not scoring their attacking, then we're going to be on our heels all night, which we still are capable of staying with the game, as we've seen against Duke.

00:29:55
Speaker 2: Will you run out on the floor a few kN wins.

00:29:58
Speaker 11: I'll walk.

00:30:02
Speaker 7: I think in those moments, I tried my best to stay out of the way because this is obviously it's not about me, But in those times when history tells the story, to be able to say that I was there, to other players that passed played at Yukon, at won championships, to be on that floor, it speaks to the legacy of the program, and so from that aspect, it's important for me to be out there just to show the future generation kids that come to Yukon, like this is a brotherhood that you want to be a part of. So if you work hard, this is the place that you want to be have fun tonight. Thanks for joining.

00:30:37
Speaker 11: I will GDP.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, GDP, the great damn Patra. Thank you, Ray Ray all right, that's Ray Allen you khon U can score Hall of Famer. Yes, Mark, so you're the notorious GDP. I think that cats whatever I'm going to go with here, I'm just dropping bars here.

00:30:56
Speaker 9: Yes, Paul I love race response like people are good on his snug shirt all weekend. If you're fifty and look like that, you wear tight shirts.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: By the way, we have some great shirts DP show logo, segue hoodies. We even got some mediums in there. If you want to wear a tight T shirt, they're available at Danpatrick dot com. They look gorgeous. We still have the huge your Daddy T shirt from the Olympics up there as well. All right, well, take a break. We will give you our best and worst of the weekend.

00:31:26
Speaker 1: Right after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. For those of you.

00:31:40
Speaker 2: Who think Dan Hurley is intense, you didn't see Jim Calhoun, because you'll get people who were there, played for or fan. Jim Calhoun was more intense than Dan Hurley, believe it or not. But you didn't have social media back then. But Jim Calhoun he could surprise you a little bit. But he get talking so fast, and he had that accent and you couldn't understand what he was saying. He probably avoided fifty technicals in his career because the official had no idea what he was saying. He'd get talking so fast and he would have you know that New England Irish brogue or whatever it was, and be like, I don't know what he said. Sounded mad, let's see. Oh you know, I love the sound of sports. That's why I got into radio. I love the sounds. Here is a sound that, well, it's different than any other sound.

00:32:36
Speaker 14: Sure, this one is drill center field. Forget about it. Show hey, old Tony with a missile in DC gives them the first lead.

00:32:49
Speaker 7: Ugh.

00:32:50
Speaker 2: I love it just because I grew up listening to sports on radio, certainly baseball on radio, and there's certain sounds that you could have, well that's a hit or that pop up. Oh, that's a home run and if you're just sitting there as a little kid ten years of age, listening on transistor radio, and all of a sudden you hear this this one. Yeah, it's like dad, Johnny Benches Homer sounds. All right, let's go around the room, see what we learned. Are your best and worst of the weekend? What did you learn this weekend? Todd? Was your best and worst?

00:33:34
Speaker 7: My best?

00:33:35
Speaker 4: In what nine time Gold Glove winner and Angel Special Assistant to the GM Tory Hunter called probably the greatest defensive game I've ever seen.

00:33:42
Speaker 3: Halo's right fielder Joe Adell made three.

00:33:44
Speaker 4: Home run robin catches against the Mariners on Saturday night. That was fantastic and worst of the weekend. Also Saturday night, the much anticipated Final four game between Michigan and Arizona not much of a contest. Disappointed that Arizona couldn't keep pace with the Wolverines.

00:33:58
Speaker 2: Uh seatan best worst of the weekend?

00:34:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, my best of the weekend was as much as I hate to say, at Michigan. They looked like an absolute force. My worst of the weekend. TV analysts who said that was supposed to be the real national title game because that was not even close.

00:34:12
Speaker 2: Guy Fieri will win the Celebrity Bracket Challenge if Michigan wins tonight. Marvin will win. If Connecticut wins the National Championship. Mm hmm. Frank Caliendo is in first place, but he had Duke winning Ross Tucker in second place. He had Arizona, Guy Fieri and me a Guy has Michigan. I had Arizona Fritzy in fifth place. He had Duke and Marvin sixth place with Connecticut. Good luck to all of you. Marvin. Best and worst of the weekend.

00:34:45
Speaker 6: My best of the weekend the Michigan Fab five, the altcast during the Michigan Arizona game.

00:34:49
Speaker 3: They were great.

00:34:50
Speaker 6: Chris Webber unbelievable stories. He's always great. Worst of the weekend. Billy Donovan leave the Bulls now because they lost to the Knicks by forty points over the weekend and they've lost seven straight games. No time like the President to go to North Carolina.

00:35:04
Speaker 2: I know, but he's been terrible in the NBA right correct average at best and done anything. Now, maybe this was never his element. Maybe he is a college coach, but he hadn't done anything that stood out.

00:35:26
Speaker 6: Yes, morph so this means Christian Layner should really be in the Basketball Hall of Fame because he had a great college career, average NBA career. Billy Donnov is already in the Hall of Fame.

00:35:36
Speaker 11: Is he he is? Good? Point?

00:35:38
Speaker 2: Well, they put the coaches in. I don't understand that coaches can go in without any You know, Skrzyzewsky didn't have anything with the NBA. Behim nothing with the NBA is oh, nothing with the NBA. But I mean they can be one dimensional and go into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Paul Best and Worst of the weekend.

00:35:57
Speaker 9: You sell a basketball as they say, a c your leaden team. I love that phrase. It's hyphenated. Great job by ucail at basketball dominating this season. And then the other best having Steph Curry back. You really missed that guy and to see his highlights. They never changed the shots. You can't believe.

00:36:15
Speaker 2: Speaking of shots, Bill Simmons was taking a shot at some podcaster who was trying to was he trying to compare Lebron and Steph and saying Steph was better than Lebron with his career and then Bill Simmons called him a blankhead and basically said, this is the greatest moment of your life that I'm responding to you that, how can you make that? What? Marvin?

00:36:41
Speaker 1: Was it?

00:36:41
Speaker 2: Lebron versus Steph?

00:36:43
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I haven't heard about this.

00:36:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw something on social media. I'm like Facebook, No, no, this well, yeah, you know, I love Facebook. Spent most of the weekend on Facebook looking for corduroys. They were arguing about corduroy patterns.

00:36:57
Speaker 5: Yah, fat stripes versus Yeah.

00:37:00
Speaker 8: I know.

00:37:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is the greatest moment of your life, me talking to quarters about you.

00:37:04
Speaker 2: That's why I like Ruffles. You know, potato chips. You know they got the ridges. It's like it's kind of like corduroys that you can eat. That's what Ruffles potato chips.

00:37:13
Speaker 5: That Bill Simmons is like Gino Ariama moment where he should have been more gracious in the conversation.

00:37:19
Speaker 2: But now people are like, man, yeah, Paully.

00:37:22
Speaker 9: There was a segment Bill Simmons was doing about great players but that were never considered the best player in the league at any point in their career. He named a bunch and Steph Curry was one of them, and some people were mad that he said Steph Curry was never considered the best player in the league.

00:37:37
Speaker 2: But I thought he was responding to somebody's podcast, Yeah, maybe in the Bay Area, and called him a bleephead. How dare you say that Steph is better than Lebron? Maybe I don't think I'm making it up.

00:37:53
Speaker 9: No, I'm reading it. Just there's language here I can't give you.

00:37:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, but is he is he singling out some podcast.

00:38:00
Speaker 9: A guy named Tommy Gunn NBA Bill Simmons responded to them, and uh, he said, check out your own career, et cetera, et cetera.

00:38:09
Speaker 2: But is Tommy Gunn saying Steph is better than Lebron or was better than Lebron?

00:38:16
Speaker 9: He's calling out Bill Simmons for saying that, at no point in his career with Steph Curry the best player in basket even his MVP year.

00:38:24
Speaker 2: A unanimous m vap Okay, people got a lot of time on their hands. You know, It's like, I mean, I'm sorry, I got other things to do. I can't You don't seek out these battles or make up a battle here or feud an argument and then call out somebody like that. Uh, Timmy in South Carolina? Hi, Timmy, how you doing good. Timgree.

00:39:00
Speaker 15: Yes, there's a film for South Carolina one sixty eight, A steady one sixty eight. Damn all right, right, I just had a quick name for the Vegas team. I don't know how everybody missed it, but simple Las Vegas Lights.

00:39:16
Speaker 2: The Vegas Lights. That's not bad at all, Timmy. Yeah, see, so that's.

00:39:21
Speaker 5: A great idea for Timmy. Unfortunately, there's a USL Championship team named the Las Vegas Lights. So what I would encourage that there's a soccer team already called the Las Vegas Lights. I would encourage the new NBA franchise to buy the naming rights from that team, help fund them into the for the next ten years with those naming rights, and have them come up with a.

00:39:40
Speaker 2: New team that would be a win win. That would be a win win.

00:39:42
Speaker 5: That would be my suggestion.

00:39:44
Speaker 3: I like that.

00:39:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, we can all win here. Everybody can win. There's enough for everybody. Yes, right, the Vegas Lights. I got a big lights show to start. Maybe some sound of it, maybe some smoke.

00:39:58
Speaker 2: All I know is the Golden That is a pregame, that is a welcome to Golden Knights hockey in Vegas. Yes, Todd.

00:40:07
Speaker 3: I don't know if we've mentioned this.

00:40:08
Speaker 4: Can't they be the Spears and play their games inside the big globe there and make that the arena and it's big enough to have a basketball court.

00:40:14
Speaker 2: I think spheares are tough to say. Is it spear?

00:40:20
Speaker 4: You've got the ass on top of another SV severe severe pH involve it's a pH spear, but it's sphere. There's a severest chance that you're not gonna be able to pronounce than you
