It's a part of my legacy. There's nothing I can do about it. I got a team that was an eight seed of three to one. That's coaching. That's not bad coaching. There are several eight seed that have actually won the different Nuggets was the first eight seed they beat the Seattle Super Song. So who was the number one seed, But we'll talk about that later. The one with the Clippers is the only one that got away. But people don't realize that Chris Paul was running on one leg in twenty fifteen with the Clippers, and we also the underdog in that series. When you think about it, Houston had home court, not us. So let me get it was good enough. You got you beat them twice on their home court to get a three to get a three one lead, right, So he was on one leg. So one leg got you a three one lead. One leg couldn't get you another win. Okay, okay, how about this we didn't have home court. Well, it goes roll to your first two games at the If you're the underdog, that means the first two games at their home.

The last perfect man's bracket was busted in the thirty first game of the tournament.

Are you surprised that there are no perfect brackets remaining?

Are you surprised that there are no perfect brackets remaining?

Listen, I'm not surprised because if you look at the odds when it comes to having a perfect bracket and winning prize money or winning something for having the perfect bracket, I mean, you would know the chance of winning.

Or having the perfect bracket is.

Or having the perfect bracket is.

Less likely than actually winning the Lotto doctor bagas statistically, and if it's like that, the chance of having a perfect bracket, you would have to old most guests or create multiple brackets at that to actually have when that goes perfect and having different scenarios and the way games are gonna play out, because if you look.

At it this uncle, it only comes down to one game. It comes down to one game.

At it this uncle, it only comes down to one game. It comes down to one game.

I was excited and didn't even create a bracket. I just went on a limb and said, you know what, hell Saint Johns's gonna win the whole thing.

I was excited and didn't even create a bracket. I just went on a limb and said, you know what, hell Saint Johns's gonna win the whole thing.

And Saint Johnson they.

And Saint Johnson they.

Didn't win in the second round.

Didn't win in the second round.

They didn't lost in the second round. So if I had a bracket, which I didn't, then the guy, damn one team I did pick, now that he going home. Yep.

They didn't lost in the second round. So if I had a bracket, which I didn't, then the guy, damn one team I did pick, now that he going home. Yep.

And because normally if your team normally, it's hard for you to win a bracket if the team that you picked up when the tournament gets knocked out early, because think about all of them, because you had been winning. They got knocked out the ride of thirty two. So now they don't make the Sweet sixteen, they don't make the Elite eight, they don't make the Final four. So one side of your bracket is already gone. Unless you're perfect on the other sides, it's hard for you to overcome back. But this is why people love Mark Imagines so much is the uncertainty, the un unpredictability, of college basketball, because you're not dealing with professionals here, oh, tr You're dealing with kids. You're dealing with eighteen to twenty twenty one year old kids, maybe someone a little older now because of the portal and what we had with COVID, so sometimes the kids are twenty two to twenty three years of age.

You're dealive.

You're dealive.

You're not dealing with professionals, although some of them are getting paid, so I guess you would consider theoretically conceptive professionals. But when you look at it like that, oyo, I'm not surprised. I'm surprised that haven't been more upset because, yeah, yeah, you're normally comes.

I don't think we had we don't.

I don't think we had we don't.

We didn't have any like what thirteen fourteen seeds that that upset anybody this year. Normally we have a thirteen or fourteen seed, a fifteen seed that would upset somebody. It's just it's just hard now, oyo, because the freshman, if you're really good, you leave, and the portal guys going back to going one school here and didn't like them out of playing time or they got into it with Coaja or whatever the case may be. And so now guys. The talent is spread. Guys are not just going to Carolina. Duke in Kentucky and Kansas. Guys are spreading out Yukon even though they lost the day to Florida.

But that's what happens.

But that's what happens.

That's what happened, and you go see this, start to see this, I think a little bit more in football. Also, ojo the unpredictability of college football because the guys are starting to spread out because you know what, there are a lot of teams that got money. They might not have as much as Ohio State or say Michigan or Alabama Georgia, but hey, considering I was gonna get nothing, that I could get two hundred three hundred thousand, that's pretty good money for an eighteen year old that's entering college.

You know, when I think about it, you talk about the landscape and how the dynamic of the playing field has somewhat even because players are going everywhere. I think when it comes to college football, I think that's already happened. I think it's already happened. From the you think that, you think of the days when the Hurricanes of Florida, Gators and the Florida and the Seminoles used to absolutely dominate, dominate collegiate football and get all the great players, especially from down here in Florida as opposed to now listen to kids out of Florida and Texas and in La.

They going everywhere. They're going to Ohio State, They're going to Alabama. Look at Amark Cooper, Look at Jerry Judy, Look at Jeremiah Smith. He's at Ohio State.

They going everywhere. They're going to Ohio State, They're going to Alabama. Look at Amark Cooper, Look at Jerry Judy, Look at Jeremiah Smith. He's at Ohio State.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look at Lamar Jackson. He from Florida. He went to Louisville.

Look at Lamar Jackson. He from Florida. He went to Louisville.

So where guys, the guys from Florida would normally stay home, They're.

So where guys, the guys from Florida would normally stay home, They're.

Like, nah, we got out of there.

Like, nah, we got out of there.

Yeah yeah, And so you know, if Florida could actually keep their guys, that's why Florida Florida State, uh, Miami became. That's why they were so good because they normally kept that homegrown talent. Now that homegrown talent they leave. Yeah, and so we uh really in car in Cavalry, Yeah, calvalrily agated brother, they went out of state. And so you're right over yo. I think because the guys are starting to leave and starting to spread out, you going to see you got the likelihood, you see the domination that you once saw. Nah, I don't know if we're gonna see that again.

Nah, I don't know if we're gonna see that again.

No, it is not gonna happen listen, unless unless it's a booster from somewhere that comes along with an abnormal amount of money and it's starting and starting. Let's say you one, for example, of Florida State. In order in order for them to get back to their dominating ways, they have to come in, come in and come into these homes and offer some of these five star start five star kids or steal players from other other schools.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, that's what you're gonna be yeh, based on the amount of money they're willing to pay them. Yeah, to get the back, get another for the Hurricanes or the Seminoles, to get back to how it was back in the nineties. You got to get all homegrown kids right here within the state.

Yes, that's what you're gonna be yeh, based on the amount of money they're willing to pay them. Yeah, to get the back, get another for the Hurricanes or the Seminoles, to get back to how it was back in the nineties. You got to get all homegrown kids right here within the state.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When you look at it, Joe, and like you said, okay, you got to get a kid that was like you, like a Jordan Madison. He wanted the boliticupf awarded Pitt and now he ends up in usc Us, c. Yeah, because you got those big movie studio execs and all those guys that went to usc that's a big film school. Yeah, Which one of those is it Katzenberg David Geffen that went to USC. It's one of them because s KG is Spielberg, Cats and Geffen Spielberg Katzenberg and Geffen, SKG. But I know one of them got to score a film school named after in USC because they started Pixar, didn't he that's KG, Spielberg, David Geffen. But that's what you're gonna have to have, O Joe. You're gonna have to have m like you said, those big guys to have that kind of money. You see a Larry Ellison, his wife went to Michigan. He intervened and got rights Underwood to flip from LSU to Michigan. Yep, DreamWorks, s KG, Spielberg, Kassenberg, and Geffen. Right, which one with the USC, because one of them has a Sperim school named after I think it's David Geffen, but it might be kessen Berg DreamWorks, Yeah not Pixar. Cooper Flag Sports eighteen points in the second round win of a Baylor. The Blue Devils finished the first half on a twelve oerd run and when did the run didn't slow down after the half, asserting their dominess in an eighty nine sixty six win. Cooper Flag was once again the best player on the court, finished you with eighteen points sixty cents of the block, while ty Reeves Proctor added twenty five points and shot seven to eight from the three. Duke have been dominant and has shown that they still can win it off. You're absolutely right, don't Joe. They look like the most impressive team that I've seen in the tournament.

I might be using anomaly in the wrong context in the instance where I'm talking about, Duke might be in one of the teams where, regardless of what day it is, they probably will beat everybody. I'm not sure who can compete with them or contend with them. You will probably be better vers and well knowledged in the game of collegiate basketball. To tell me, is there a team that can actually challenge Duke? Based on what I've seen so far and based on what I've seen during the regular season.

Will Wade's agreement he's leaving MacNeice at the end of the tourney run to become the head coach of the wood Pack of NC State, but Wade's transparency with his players and the mission that he had contact within C State did not become a district action. He said, Oh, Joe, do you think him leaving propelled this team to spring this? It?

Once it comes to marsh madness, you got one shot, one shot to get it right, and they got it right. Maybe there might have been some type of motivation behind coach them knowing coaches leaving and you want to send him out the right way, and if there is any testament to that, kudos of them.

Maybe there might have been some type of motivation behind coach them knowing coaches leaving and you want to send him out the right way, and if there is any testament to that, kudos of them.

Yeah, they played really well, Oh Joe. The thing is is that there's a difference between truth and transparency. You see the difference. The truth is you ask me question, I tell you the truth. Transparency is you telling me something that I didn't need asking other time, Joe, hold.

On, look at that.

We just started the show.

We just started the show.

Hey, hey, I'm gonna start. You know I'm gonna start Hey. Oh no, no, we're not doing that, oh Joe. We're gonna get and get onto the I'm.

Come on that, you come on, don't do me like that.

Come on that, you come on, don't do me like that.

Give me that one more time.

Give me that one more time.

I got to write that down. I'm telling you that transparency line was unbelievable.

I got to write that down. I'm telling you that transparency line was unbelievable.

Truth is telling you you asked me a question. I tell you the truth. Transparency is telling you something you didn't even ask me. I'm being transparent. You don't even know. See, infact, you ask if you tell me said what you're a blah blah blah. So for what's on, Yeah, this is what I did. But let me tell you something else that you didn't know. That's being transparent. And there's a difference between the two. And so I thank him. Even before they found out, he was like, look, guys, I've had contact. There's a possibility I I could be leaving you guys and going somewhere else. And I think that plays, that plays a large part. That's what transparency is. People say transparent, I want you to be transparent. Now. I think that's a good definition of good understanding. Is telling someone something that didn't even ask. Now you're being transparent. And so I think this definitely helped. But like you said, O Joe, in a game of this magnitude, when one shot is and that's one shining moment, I just gotta be better than you for the day.

I gotta be better. I ain't got to be a better team. I just got to be better than you today two hours.

I gotta be better. I ain't got to be a better team. I just got to be better than you today two hours.

That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it.

And they were.

And they were.

But I think that's and I think that's why people love March Magic so much, O Jo, because realistically, anything can happen on that Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and people like that because the underdog like man, my team really got a chance to be a dude, to be to North Carolina, to be the glimpsing to be of U c.

My team really truly have the chance to do that.

And so there's a reason why they call it March. And the last last word is madness, because it ain't no telling what's gonna happen, regardless of the seeding, regardless of the conference, regardless of how smooth, how small your program may be. All the take is what team is showing up that day for two hours.

A team get a lot, oh Joe, I think for me, A team get hot, and you know the team get hot, they make they make ten limb twelve threes in a college game that huge, they gonna run all of a sudden, they can't miss. We've seen it before. We've seen Villanova pull the upset over Georgetown. We've seen n C State down flop five slammer Gamma in nineteen eighty four, No, that was eighty three, eighty three, excuse me, eighty three, the whoof pack took them down because in eighty four.
