Transcript
00:04we'll get back to your calls been a very very energetic caller base today but it is
00:09championship week which means it's time for crying flute girl and march madness it's rico
00:16birthday boy beards college basketball today no i'm going to present here we go so which one's
00:28better crying flute girl or obnoxious northwestern kid going surrender cobra probably the northwestern
00:36kid i enjoyed that one because you know what flute girl played through the pain and she went
00:43and played the what was the villanova fan uh fight song yeah and then got rewarded the next year when
00:49villanova won it all i felt like she was vindicated okay crying kid come on man all right so it's
00:56yes
00:56it is championship week and i want to go through here uh the teams and programs with the most
01:03pressure going into the tournament the main tournament here okay so let's start with
01:08arizona tommy lloyd has 141 wins in five seasons here's the problem they don't go deep in the
01:15he hasn't made an elite eight yet and arizona as a program is still searching for its first
01:22final four appearance since 2001 pressure yes yes david it's sad but whatever you do like fill
01:29out the brackets and they're a number one you could always pick them as to be the first number
01:34one seed to be knocked out of the tournament and you'll probably be correct it's great that you win
01:40all the regular season games but if you have nothing to show for it tournament style that's what the
01:45boosters and the alums and the fans want to see yeah unless you're a red wings fan you actually
01:49hold people accountable so i'd say yeah all the empty calories okay that was rude i just it's arizona
01:55i view arizona as a blue blood but i also live in the past where lute olsen was the coach
02:00like i just
02:01view arizona as one of the seven to ten power brokers in the sport let's move over to a big
02:0810 program
02:09and let's go to well the classic purdue you're going to purdue in the in the tournament is what people
02:16say they were number one in the country to start the year the last 13 games they have gone six
02:22and seven look good offensively can't stop anyone defensively pressure much i leave it to rico it's
02:28his birthday no you know what i think for purdue david a lot of it they finally broke through they
02:36made
02:36it to the final four and you thought okay the stigma is gone but i look at this purdue team
02:41and
02:42brayden smith all of a sudden that assist record started getting right there for him and he stopped
02:49playing the type of game that got purdue where they were and he was just trying to dish the ball
02:54i was
02:54like brayden you need to be selfish make some baskets and and then also yeah their shooting has just kind
03:00of fallen off fletcher lawyer oh i don't know what happened to him this past month yeah it says here
03:06that
03:06they were positioned i won't say it i won't say it they were positioned to be a number two seed
03:12they're falling towards a four seed which you know what that is the dangerous mid-major team
03:17in the tournament they will face let's go over to kentucky here we're a roster that costs 22 million
03:23dollars good for mark pope uh they are two and five in their last seven games and clearly the money
03:30is the reason why they have the most pressure and again mark pope could lose his job i mean kentucky
03:36is just we talk about expectations uh that's one thing kentucky is psychopath they think they
03:43should win the damn thing every year so immense pressure at kentucky not just because of the
03:49price but because they already look at it the shine is off the former player it hasn't been a good
03:55year
03:55so i would just say immense to me kentucky is kind of like uh tennessee football where all you expect
04:03every year we're gonna this is gonna be our year but you haven't been really good
04:07in a minute not as and so therefore pope he's fighting for his job he's he's trying to win this
04:14sec tournament he he needs something to keep that fan base quiet because wildcat wildcat fans aren't
04:24happy they'll pack him up and they'll just go out and look for a new coach this year well let's
04:29look over
04:29to another program they're not gonna fire their coach if something happens but it's kansas um we
04:35know the expectations there in kansas uh they have darren peterson there's been some do they
04:41yes they have darren peterson they found a way to get third place in the big 12 but here's the
04:47thing
04:48yes they won it all in 2022 but kansas hasn't advanced to the sweet 16 since i'll say the same
04:54thing i said
04:54for arizona i don't know if rico agrees kansas is just on a different level and you can't go for
05:01five years without getting to a sweet 16 you can't have you know oh we finished third in the big
05:0712 what
05:07are you tcu i'm gonna say pressure i'm gonna say a ton of pressure i mean they they ran the
05:13big 12 for
05:14decades it seems like they won it all the time and now you got a player who's an absentee player
05:20yeah i think there's a lot of pressure on bill self in kansas to say that i have not lost
05:26control
05:26of this program and it's sad to say i mean because most people would love to be where bill self
05:32is but
05:33man when your star player is flipping a coin before the game it seems like
05:38whether i want to play or not you know what i got 13 points i'm good i'm gonna go ahead
05:43and opt out the
05:44second half and that's problematic because kansas fans they they they want more and they want they
05:50they want that team to be better it's all they have they deserve it it's it's it's kind of wild
05:55how
05:55you can be in the middle of a game darren peterson hits a three and then basically looks at the
06:00coach
06:00and up take me out like that's right is he tapping the top of his head like yeah it just
06:06sound are you
06:06okay nah nice sport nice sport let's move over to another big 10 team here and this article clearly
06:15is assuming that they make it to the tournament because they were not a good seed in the big 10
06:20seating it is ohio state and they did win today so they probably make it they play michigan tomorrow
06:26but ohio state had an up and down year this year uh they still haven't gotten to a sweet 16
06:32since 2013
06:332013 thad mata i just feel like the program has vaporized since thad mata i don't know if that's
06:39an accurate statement i just i don't even think about them in the big 10 no you're right i mean
06:44ohio state used to be just one of those teams that were always good now david they're going to be
06:49in probably they they were a fringe team for a while ago but then all of a sudden things kind
06:54of
06:54they righted the ship bruce thornton taking over this taking over control of this team they're going
07:00to be in there but you're right ohio state basketball you know if you can make it out
07:06the first weekend that that that'll be good for you but yeah they're wow what a goal lofty goals
07:12by birthday boy beard look man i'm just giving you the truth you want you may lie there little spank
07:17if you can get out of the first round anything's possible no i'm just saying that's where ohio
07:21state basketball is falling i know my point is ohio state used to be about making the final four
07:26right scooney penn when they had uh eric craft greg odin well he was 40 you got to check him
07:33and
07:33danny almonte two very fake birth certificates they went to back to back final i mean national
07:39championship games so i did talk about purdue i did talk about ohio state two big 10 teams
07:45i'm gonna put this in here as a whole okay the big 10 it's been so long since they won
07:52a title
07:52yes you have michigan nebraska michigan state illinois wisconsin purdue ohio state we'll see
07:58if you see ucla probably gets in we'll see what happens with iowa and indiana pressure you gotta
08:04get one when indiana's done they lost northwestern how many times they lost northwestern how many
08:10seven in a row seven oh my god yeah and they were they were substantial favorites in that game
08:17weren't they seven or eight point favorites seven in a row oh my god yeah but see that's what happens
08:22northwestern has the paisan power nikki martinelli on the squad he doubles his team italy setup man
08:28i was about to say deeper roots than the italian baseball team yeah considering you got a guy named
08:32teal on the team yeah real italian david to answer no we're not doing that david to answer your question
08:41immense pressure on the big 10 because yes when you look at it mateen cleaves led the the last big
08:4910
08:49team to something oh dear and his kid is about to go into college next or in a couple years
08:54oh boy that
08:55tells you everything that you need to know um yeah especially for michigan you look like you're the
09:02best team in basketball can you finish this thing out and get there david i also i got a couple
09:08other
09:08teams that i would like to add it's his birthday you have to allow it they finally lost the game
09:15miami ohio all right this may sound like i'm losing my fastball i understand the schedule was not great
09:23i just think if you win 31 straight games i don't care what conference you're in you deserve to play
09:30i'm gonna take a team that on a night-in-night-out basis wins versus some 16 and 13 power
09:38team but
09:38see not whether they deserve to be in we're talking pressure you gotta show you know what we deserve to
09:45be here you can't lose your first game well they did they lost to you no no i mean in
09:50the tournament
09:50oh oh and that's pressure like if they show up and get orbital rammed and lose by 24 right not
09:55only is
09:56it bad for you it's gonna be bad for mid-majors yes throughout history well because now they're
10:00getting in because of their record they're not getting the automatic bid so some team that doesn't
10:04get in is gonna look at this like but you know what i'm good with that i get to you
10:08know what i call
10:08that the seth greenberg award it would always be like 18 and 14 v tech and then i'd have to
10:14listen
10:14to dick vital act like somebody just killed his mom this is unfortunate it's unbelievable it's
10:20disrespectful it's like dick they lost 15 games we're done here stop i don't
10:26need to see any more oh power conference slop get tired of it give me the mid-major who tries
10:33i would also add houston to the mix after somehow losing the national championship game with the
10:39lead in the final minute i know like calvin sampson now has to bounce back and do something i mean
10:46he's
10:46been crying how poor they are but they're going to be a highly ranked team going into which is quite
10:51amazing considering they get better players than michigan state stunning what does this have to do
10:56with michigan well if they're dirt poor what's our problem mike what are we doing here i just i i'm
11:02saying houston has been a monolith right while we have and they always get nba guys like that the
11:09the sassers and the sheds and the gerace walkers and the kid they got this year they do the pressure
11:14and defense no i'm just saying how do they acquire these players if they have no money it's the style
11:19they it's it's what michigan state used to do where we're going to lock you down and we're going to
11:24rebound it just made my point for me what they used to happy birthday do you know what mike michigan
11:34state's going to shut down the program just for you there it is i'd be okay with that there it
11:39is on
11:40that note it'll make you happy hey the tournament would be less stressful how is it stressful you
11:46don't watch them i do how dare you and i want you to be happy don't don't do that don't
11:51do that just
11:52because i'm soulless there is the most pressure for michigan state they may shut the program down
11:56if they don't win now you know what i would love to see the highest whoever loses to the lowest
12:02seed in
12:03the first round relegation they shut your program down i want real pressure in the ncaa tournament
12:09like the year virginia lost to umbc your program doesn't exist anymore goodbye but then they would
12:15have never won the title i would have been fine next year i hated tony bennett i hate that school
12:20how did you hate tony bennett because they played a god-awful stock you know what we gotta go
12:24it's acc you're winning games 50 to 49 college basketball defense most pressure wraparound 97-1
