00:00Game number one tonight, Texas-Purdue.
00:03Well, I'll tell you this, Donnie, and it makes sense,
00:07but Texas is by far the biggest public underdog darling
00:12that we have left here in the Sweet 16.
00:16And listen, it makes sense, right?
00:18I mean, first of all, the betting public loves, you know,
00:21themselves some underdogs.
00:23They love, you know, getting a ton of points.
00:25And the fact that it's usually 11 seeds, Donnie,
00:29that have all the success, I think, when it comes to March Madness.
00:32But what's ironic here is Texas is an 11 seed, an underdog,
00:37a Cinderella, like stop it.
00:39They have a bigger payroll on that roster than most teams do
00:43in the country here.
00:45That's one of the better teams money can buy.
00:47It just took Sean Miller a little while to figure it out.
00:50Different styles.
00:51I mean, listen, Texas can score with any of them
00:54because they have a lot of guys that can get to the rim
00:56and a lot of guys that can create their own shot.
00:59The problem with Texas is they foul a ton.
01:03And you know what's going to happen with Purdue.
01:05All the mid-range jump shots are going to set up the perimeter
01:08and the three jump shots.
01:10And if Purdue is making shots,
01:12I think this game goes flying over the total
01:15because I don't think Purdue defensively
01:16is going to give Texas a whole lot of resistance.
01:20But Purdue is going to score.
01:21I think that's for sure.
01:23They're going to get to the line.
01:24I think the over is the way to look in this game here.
01:27I think we're going to get a ton of points
01:29in this matchup tonight.
01:31Texas, Joe, looking to go from first four to the final four.
01:34But before they get there, could they run into a matchup
01:37that maybe Sean Miller would love to see?
01:39Let's hear from them.
01:40I really haven't.
01:41I would hope they would cheer for us.
01:43We're the 11th seed.
01:44You know, if I were them, I'd want us to win.
01:47But my relationship with Arizona is nothing but great.
01:57I have three sons.
01:59They all attended the University of Arizona.
02:01And each of them had an amazing experience, two of the three.
02:06Their girlfriend, potentially maybe who they end up with as their wife,
02:11also went to Arizona.
02:12I was there for 13 years, have friendships that will last a lifetime.
02:19I was treated, our family was treated incredibly well.
02:23And then, you know, my perspective of just watching Arizona,
02:26they couldn't have hired a better coach.
02:29I mean, what he has done is just, it's like legendary.
02:34And I know that the team that they have this year
02:37might be the best team at Arizona, one of the best ever.
02:40So, that's where that stands.
02:44I mean, if we would beat Purdue, that's, I'm at Texas.
02:48That would be, like, amazing.
02:49We're playing in the Elite Eight.
02:51But the other part of it doesn't really exist for me.
02:55You know, I think with that emotion,
02:56you can either burn the house down or make it warmer.
03:01And, you know, I look at that place,
03:04and that experience is nothing but just making my house warmer.
03:08It's, it's, I have nothing but positive thoughts,
03:11feelings, and perspectives towards that experience.
03:16Translation, Joe.
03:17Let me at Arizona.
03:19I'll cut their heart out.
03:21Well, I'm curious, because can't,
03:23if you burn down the house, don't you,
03:26doesn't that mean it automatically gets warmer, Donnie?
03:29I'm a little confused with his analogy there,
03:31because, oh, we can burn it down or get,
03:33oh, if you burn it down, it's going to get warmer,
03:35one way or the other.
03:36But people forget, Donnie,
03:38that Sean Miller was supposed to be Lloyd there.
03:41I mean, Sean Miller was Arizona
03:44before he got embroiled in all sorts of sneaker controversies
03:48and everything else there.
03:49But, listen, you know, it goes around and comes around, right?
03:52It's so funny how the basketball gods work here.
03:56That would be something, though, that's for sure.
03:57Texas, Arizona with him would be something else.
04:00Texas, Arizona with him would be something else.
