Transcript
00:02dusty may following michigan's win on saturday over arizona which i mean look my respect for
00:08arizona was through the roof all season long uh michigan played better deserved to win in arizona
00:13you you couple that with arizona having a bad day missing open shots michigan created a lot of it
00:18but when they did get open shots they missed them that's why a game that michigan would have won
00:22turned into a game that michigan won in blowout fashion uh but now the big question is can they
00:27beat yukon with half yaks do they need full yaks half yaks quarter yaks what are they getting out
00:31of yaks or lundenberg because he is obviously the you know he's the guy because when he was off the
00:39floor i mean they're playing without lj casen and yaks or lundenberg and they are trucking arizona
00:45yeah roddy gale looks like an all-american trey mckinney looks at times like the best player on
00:50the floor ellie cadeau running the show and then mara is an alien who who you put the ball anywhere
00:56near the rim i mean it's like jd for the pistons 248-539-9797 let's get back to your open
01:04line
01:04calls bill is next on 971 good morning bill good morning guys i hope you had a good easter and
01:10uh
01:11yeah and uh thinking about pat for sure yesterday um and i think i have a champion chump uh the
01:20champ
01:20is uh michigan i i i don't think a lot of people saw that coming yesterday i mean that was
01:28or on saturday night um that was pretty that was pretty amazing and doing it without pretty much
01:35yaks all for the whole game and we'll see tonight it's uh you know i think the moment seemed like
01:42it
01:42was a little bit too big for arizona maybe i think uh but one thing about tonight is the moment
01:49is not
01:49going to be too big for yukon that's for sure yeah and so that it's going to be a different
01:55different
01:56type of deal and i was going to i was going to chump the wings but there's going to be
02:00a lot of time for
02:00that in about four or five days so um i just want to chump the people that right now are
02:09are getting on
02:10michigan's case for the type for the way they put their roster together um i it's um you know
02:19it's the reality it's the reality of things and and it's not like and i've i've heard you guys talk
02:26on the on this station it's not like these guys were like the highest you know rated transfer people
02:33out there i mean yaks might have been but the others yeah yaks was pretty highly but yeah the other
02:38three i mean they were good players but it it they you know there two of them came off the
02:44bench
02:44uh for their respective teams and the other one was i don't know how bad it really was at um
02:50at
02:50north carolina i don't know that social media truly represents what fans thought about that player but
02:56it's been put together nicely and because the parts fit together the parts fit together so well
03:03that's what i was just going to say doug just uh in closing yeah i they look like they've been
03:07playing together for four years so i mean the way it was put together was was really was really
03:16amazing so well this is what we're going to see i don't want to hear about it i don't want
03:20to hear
03:20about it i mean this is the is this the magic of dusty may where it's not just necessarily the
03:24talent of the players but being able to also figure out these are guys are going to be able to
03:28to fit together and play together and and are willing to do what it takes and and that's what's
03:34been pretty impressive to me about michigan is that they're not a bunch of guys playing hero ball
03:40you know these are guys that came together not a lot of shot hunting right from various parts of the
03:45country bring them together whether you like it or not it is what it is in today's college basketball
03:50and and these guys end up playing together not selfishly so it's been a remarkable run for them
03:58they are the best team in basketball they're able to withstand significant injuries and and still
04:04flourish because it's it's not a next man up mentality like you see like with the lions with
04:10that big roster yeah when they deal with injuries it's that's not it it's just okay we're going to
04:15shrink our circle because they're not expanding and using the bench i mean they they only use a
04:20couple guys from nine deep to eight deep to at the end of the game there were seven and a
04:24half
04:24you know yeah exactly in cheddar being the the half but i mean you know yaks i'm counting yaks as
04:30the half i guess i was looking at you know cheddar being that guy late but uh because it was
04:34a half
04:35yeah he's done a great job and all these guys just they've stepped up you know and and you keep
04:40plugging away could always not getting it done in the first half okay keep playing keep dishing the
04:45ball and he's he's doing a great job and he's treating the basketball and then he knocks down a
04:48couple big shots and it's like okay you're good the cadeau thing is interesting because
04:53i can't remember who the analyst was some analyst was at their practice on thursday and he was
05:00watching cadeau throw the ball off the backboard a lot and then they revealed after the game that
05:07part of the game plan was their concern over arizona's length had them deciding to throw the
05:13ball off the backboard regularly so cadeau got credited with at least four missed shots they said
05:21after the game that were actually passes off the backboard to mara that if there was um uh the big
05:28kid uh his name escapes right now 13 for arizona crevas yes thank you uh they would throw it off
05:34the
05:34backboard and the first possession of the game was a prime example of it and so the numbers didn't
05:41reflect necessarily what part of the game plan was now it didn't always work there were times where
05:46he threw it off the backboard and they didn't get it um but it it hurt his shooting percentage numbers
05:52but they were asked about after the game and they said yeah yeah it was something we worked on
05:57two four eight five three nine ninety seven ninety seven and and and again you know the the way the
06:02parts fit together michigan had 33 made baskets off 22 assists they share the ball and they do look like
06:09they've been playing together for a long time now is that credit to the players credit to just dusty
06:14credit to both because there's gonna have to be some restocking they do have a they don't they got
06:21a five star to commit during the game so they've got another highly regarded recruiting class coming in
06:26but they'll probably need a transfer or two here when that you know when it comes down to it and
06:30getting
06:31them everybody have the buy-in the way this team appears to have the buy-in is a challenge yep
06:35but
06:35that's next year's challenge yes i mean this this year still has one game and in spectacular fashion
06:42for them and uh and look i don't know if this is something if this is a a process that
06:48that dusty
06:49may can just do every year and and and try to make that happen if that's if this is the
06:54the just a new
06:55way of the ncaa or if this is a you know kind of a a one-off way to get
07:00it done to find the right
07:01mix of players that are willing to play unselfishly together even though they obviously want their
07:06chance but you know if you're going to give guys 30 minutes a game and and if i don't know
07:13if you
07:13promise that to them or not or get promising the opportunity they could play 30 minutes a game
07:18however you want to do it yeah i want to be on the court as much as possible whether i'm
07:22scoring
07:2225 points a game or if i'm just being the role player setting screens and you know grabbing
07:28rebounds and and making that extra pass whatever i want to be on the floor and if you find guys
07:33that are willing to be on the floor and and again what we talk about all the time with the
07:36pistons
07:36wanting to play defense and if you have that desire to play defense you're going to find yourself on
07:43the floor and that's that's a lot of fun if you're 18 to 22 years old that's all you want
07:48to do is play
07:48and now here it is you've got a chance for national championship heard john beeline this morning with
07:53the guys yeah and they asked him about the pistons and you know he he goes right to assar thompson
07:59and says i love assar i mean this guy his want to in playing defense it's attractive basketball you
08:07know that's it just puts a smile on your face watching a guy play that way because it's not
08:12the guy who's hunting down the big contract or or all the headlines and the glory it's just i'm doing
08:17what's best for the team and you can see some parallels with the pistons and the wolverines
08:22james is in tecumseh and next good morning james good morning gentlemen how are you doing today
08:28okay i got a chump and it's gonna be gino the coach from uconn for what he did everybody know
08:36that self-explanatory he almost pulled over what he hates all that night but my champ is gonna be
08:44the ucla bruins women's and those six seniors restored every single point in the final four
08:52not a single that shows what upperclassmen can do and watching that gabby outshine her brother
09:01was phenomenal well they they dismantled south carolina and south carolina looked so good
09:10and to watch what ucla did to them um was remarkable and you know it's funny i think
09:16a ucla's athletic department is having this sort of all-around athletic department that would be a
09:21sears cup type team every year that can win a national championship in any sport i can't believe
09:26that that's their first ncaa championship in women's basketball they did have one back when it
09:31was pre-ncaa sponsored but uh yeah great uh i mean i i'm a little uncomfortable saying this but is
09:37that i mean because technically it's true but i'm just not used to it yet another big 10 national
09:41championship exactly yep they represented the big 10 well yep i guess let's go get used to it how
09:50about the gino are you i i gotta tell you i don't know what the hell it was about i
09:55kept seeing all
09:56these clips i keep watching all these clips and then i saw like this pod and i don't know it
10:00was a
10:00podcast it was an interview that the the the broadcast crew from espn had done about it and nobody
10:05explained like why why he was i'll explain yeah please what the hell was going he's just a jerk
10:11yeah almost he was he was being a petulant child he's his team was getting beat smoked but he didn't
10:21like it no and he came up with some reason to get mad but it i was kind of hoping
10:27don stay was going
10:28to knock him out um she kept saying she was going to beat him up like i'm censoring it by
10:34the way
10:34she kept saying it i'm going to beat this blank and she kept i'm like i wanted it i don't
10:42want to
10:42see two old people go at it i mean i don't this is like honestly you know is at the
10:46age where he's
10:47like he just made it up he thought it was real he got mad about something that didn't happen
10:51because he was getting his ass kicked like you guys said and yep and that's what apologizes for later
10:57it's such a bad look i mean everything's fine and dandy when i'm winning right but nobody else is
11:04allowed i mean he says it was about a handshake that when the coaches get introduced they walk
11:09down and shake hands and he says he waited there for his words three minutes and i'm like okay captain
11:14exaggeration in the meantime there's video of her shaking his hand prior to that and so you know
