00:00so in the aftermath the bracket comes out and then they they make these studio guys pick the
00:06whole thing right there on the spot right and it leads to some what they do i know but it
00:12leads to
00:12some hilarious outcomes including the unbelievable possibility are you ready for this could we
00:20handle this seth greenberg says michigan state plays michigan in the national title
00:32could could we handle this oh sure we can handle it could our listeners and the people
00:37who we live with or work with possibly survive this because it would be epic i want to see it
00:46i'm a chippewa i can watch the world burn if you win this game it's the greatest win in the
00:51history
00:51of your program you're a national title champion and you beat your rival if you're dusty may
00:56you dispatch iso if you're iso good triumphs over evil doing it the old-fashioned way the
01:03developmental way not these mercenary bums that's awesome but if you lose it is the worst heartbreak
01:12you could suffer this is worse than trouble with the snap that's a regular season game this is for
01:16the national title walking down the road and i mean like no one's on the fence yeah they pick a
01:24side
01:24in this state you are either michigan or your michigan state and you will have to live with
01:29this one forever michigan if michigan were to lose that game they just swept them in the regular
01:37season they could sweep them for the next 10 years and still not live this down your stomach would be
01:48in knots leading up to this game you would have so much emotion adrenaline do you want this yeah
01:57the good thing is your team is in the national title if you're msu you survived a region of duke
02:02and yukon and and kansas and st john's you toppled hall of fame coaches and national champion coaches
02:08you're probably making some threes to make it there you're probably playing your best you probably tell
02:12everybody hard to beat a team three times if you're michigan you go look we punked them at the
02:18breslin we beat them at chrysler bring them on bring them on like a pinata we'll take another swing at
02:25them it'd be awesome it would be awesome these coaches hate each other that would be part of it i
02:30would love this from a michigan perspective you also have to look at it and go okay well if michigan
02:35state does make it then they've already taken care of whether it's louisville or south florida
02:41they've then would have taken care of yukon duke and then you're looking to go okay well if they
02:49get out of their region who are they going to face either florida or houston yeah and so if if
02:57they
02:57make it out so it's either the reigning champs right who by the way have a ton of size which
03:02i think
03:02would be a tough matchup for msu or houston that hounds you relentlessly yeah if you're somehow
03:09outstanding after all that you're playing damn good basketball yeah and you've got all the
03:15confidence in the world no on michigan side it's not like you would be you know sitting there going
03:20oh well we just eked our way in no i mean they would have faced again you know like we
03:24had mentioned
03:24some of the landmines whether it was iowa state if it was virginia texas tech alabama but then you'd
03:30have to play probably arizona or i mean produce the number two seed i don't i don't think purdue has
03:36enough
03:37uh to be able to make it to the final four but it feels like arizona is the the softest
03:42one seed
03:43the softest path for a one yes uh so yeah but if you're taking down arizona who didn't they start
03:49the year 23 and 0 they were the last undefeated power five team in college hoops yeah yeah yeah
03:55except for yeah obviously not a power five team but may be behind which by the way glad they were
03:58in
03:58the tournament i know you ended up on that side they got their gold star they should be in the
04:03tournament oh sure i mean you get 68 teams put them into play in which tom brought up last week
04:07and that's exactly what they did they're in the play in so hey if you if you're as good as
04:12your
04:12record says you are then they'll make the final field of of you know 64 they still had bruce pearl
04:19stumping for the teams on the outside yesterday including his auburn tigers like you had a losing
04:24record in conference we let 68 teams in we can put miami of ohio in just to see yeah they
04:29won 31 games
04:30now some of them were against you know milligan and indiana university east right but hey 31 wins
04:39keep playing anyway do you want this michigan michigan state the national title it's it's been
04:45discussed on major sports network television and we're bringing it to this show today 248-539-9797 i saw
04:53this last night and i posted it as a poll question and i would think this is awesome the positives
05:01outweigh
05:02the negatives your team's in the title you feel good about your team winning the title and you get
05:07to brag until they put you in the ground 36 said no they don't want this
05:17just scared they don't want the pressure that comes with this game the risk that comes with this
05:24game but that's that's what competition is all about is being able to play your opponents and when
05:31it's and be uncomfortable and be able to come out on top that's what the that could be the that
05:37would
05:38be the ultimate scenario of this tournament and i think there's a lot of people i asked you this at
05:43one of the breaks i don't know that there's a lot of juice behind the ncaa tournament this year and
05:47part of it we'll dive into it more as the as the week goes on last year was a very
05:51chalky tournament
05:52and it was not there were no cinderellas yeah you want to you want to be able to see some
05:58cinderellas
05:59make a run whether it's to the sweet 16 elite eight final four whatever um but i think i think
06:05there's
06:05just a lot of people that believe that this is going to go top heavy yeah and so there's not
06:11a lot of
06:11juice but this would certainly put some juice into it yeah look as the week goes we're going to
06:15sprinkle in some cinderellas try to find you those teams that could go on a run we'll do our draft
06:21pick our four teams go toe-to-toe with one another yeah we'll give our final four by the time
06:26we get
06:26to thursday's games but yeah i want to focus on our couple teams right now that are in the the
06:32top
06:32heavy section of college basketball right now and and look it's more likely that neither team makes it
06:38then they both make it and they face off against each other i would agree if i asked you to
06:43psycho
06:44analyze of the 36 do you think that's more spartan fans or wolverine fans oh gosh i i would i
06:50don't even
06:51know if i could venture a guess like which fan base would not want the rematch more
06:58i can't answer that one without without my own personal emotions being involved
07:03okay we'll leave it up to people 248 539 97 97 i would think i would think spartan fans wouldn't
07:10want to play michigan having seen what they've done to them twice no way they can correct everything
07:17with a win it's hard to beat a team three times in a row so you think michigan doesn't want
07:21to see
07:22of the of the dissenters you think it's more michigan fans like state could gain from that and is oh
07:27i mean
07:27first off the second natty which is just what he needs so bad to cap off his career it's what
07:34people
07:34hold against him but also just the fact that they unwrite everything that happened this season it
07:40didn't matter good versus evil doing it the right way yeah no you know yeah is so the the old
07:47school
07:47way versus dusty may's new way listen here you're gonna try to take over my state my sport nope no
07:53sir
07:54the gain for is those for some of the people that have turned on him in the fan base and
07:58it becomes
07:58i don't know if it's a write-off in the sunset but it becomes that cap at the end of
08:02his career that
08:03everybody's been waiting for michigan did it to saving
08:09right off into the sunset send him out back all right 248 539 97 97 some response it's been too
08:16long
08:16since we've seen michigan pull off a convincing win like we were accustomed to early in the season
08:22this is a nervous wolverine fan okay but i understand yeah they were winning by double
08:28digits in in a majority of their games you get to the end of the season things tighten up a
08:34little
08:34bit just because you didn't win by double digits doesn't mean you you still didn't win the games you
08:39needed to win michigan won't get past the elite eight guards are just not good enough
08:45that might be what what bites him
08:48i think it's a lot on cadeau's plate i like what mckinney's done stepped up but a lot's on cadeau's
08:53plate and they can't have a cold night or a turnover filled day well kitty's not going to be the
08:58guy
08:58that distributes the ball no he's just not that it's not his role right now it's not his play but
09:03he has stepped up to make some big shots and and come through in some big moments you guys want
09:10the
09:10michigan michigan state matchup because what you do for work in reality it would be a terrible
09:14basketball game with michigan winning in a landslide i mean do you want to talk about root
09:21for radio this might be the ultimate root for radio here in in where you've got michigan michigan
09:27state it's all the things that you talked about dusty may versus iso the the hired guns versus we
09:34develop yeah i'm nodding my head like a bobblehead yes all of those storylines at once two four eight
09:40five three nine ninety seven ninety seven all right we've got that out there for people we've
09:43got michigan's draw states draw the expectations and the hypothetical possibility discussed by
09:48seth greenberg that these two teams would meet in the national title msu coming out in the left side
09:54of the bracket michigan from the right side of the bracket and all hell breaks loose for the national
09:59title it's 97 one
10:00title it's 97 one
