00:00coach how about this 17th sweet 16 28 consecutive tournaments i mean i know it's not john wooden
00:06and i know maybe it's not coach k but the amount of consistency that they have there in east lansing
00:11is incredible sales we talked about it yesterday what did i say tom iso on short rest you know
00:20what i'm saying it's like it's like when randy johnson in 2001 in the world series on short
00:24rest of times there's automatics tom iso if he wins the first round will always go to the sweet 16
00:32because of his adjustments and listen his he said he said his bigs were terrible jackson colin wasn't
00:39good but jeremiah fears that he couldn't make shots for a while jeremy fears but he was fantastic
00:45getting guys involved and it speaks to a way that tom iso can ready folks adjust on the fly forget
00:52the
00:52yelling and screaming how this guy is in the huddle and in halftime and in a game day before game
00:58it's a stuff a legend tom iso what a great job he's on what a michigan state team uh big
01:05sales that i
01:06don't think is as very very good they play hard they play defense and they listen to their coach
01:12do you agree that the turnaround in the second game this is what leads to games like high point versus
01:19arkansas where you just don't know that uncommon opponent and that team hung in there bucket for
01:26bucket all the way down to the very end and maybe the talent level in the coaching there in arkansas
01:31ended up getting that win there for the razorbacks but is that this is kind of what the tournament is
01:37these quick turnarounds how difficult is that coach it's it's hell it's hell sells because if you think
01:44about it when you go into the first round you have your first round opponent figured out and you
01:48have both second round opponents scouted but then you have to go and look and sometimes when you go
01:54and look the upset team is the harder one because they don't play the caliber schedule that you have
02:00right there's also the fact that these second these teams have nothing to lose high point of nothing to
02:05lose yesterday they went out and played now i'll tell you something you got a guy like darius a cuff
02:10and you know what i'm saying they can cover up a lot of mistakes you go get yourself a point
02:15guard
02:15that can score and we've talked about darren peterson we will you know he's playing today
02:20we've talked about kings and flemings how he looked last night we talked about waggler the kid
02:24out of illinois darius a cuff is as good as a lead guard in the country we there's a term
02:32that the kids use
02:33big sales we're a little bit more mature like i said they call him walking bucket that's what he is
02:39he's a walking bucket he could score on absolutely everybody and anybody coach i gotta ask you about
02:47mark few they get bounced and you know i get it 26 consecutive tournaments he's taking that
02:54gonzaga basketball team into the tournament and now they're starting to talk about all right
02:59it's 26 years where are we going give me your takeaway on the gonzaga basketball program right now
03:06sales i talked about it last week when i wrote my sub stack article about merging uh the big east
03:12in
03:12the acc part of it was that i thought that they should try and go get gonzaga and st mary's
03:19from
03:19the wcc who don't have football and bring them into that big east acc merger because you already have
03:25travel partners out west like uh cal and and stanford who are already in the acc it's not working for
03:32them
03:32because what happens big sales is they can't simulate enough games in league if you don't do
03:38that i think what mark few need to do is this do what john shire and dusty may did when
03:44they played in dc
03:46about a month ago allow them to go get a non-conference game or two during the middle of conference
03:53play so
03:53they still could ramp up their opponents it's almost like they hadn't played really overly competitive teams
03:59and they came down and bit them once it comes to the tournament
