00:04Coming off a 90-82 win over BYU, the suddenly surging Kansas Jayhawks are heading into the
00:12toughest part of their schedule.
00:16It's been a great four-week stretch for your Kansas Jayhawks ever since the setback in
00:22West Virginia.
00:23On that day, Coach Self simply said, we suck right now.
00:27Guys have taken it as a challenge, this entire team has, and it's not just one guy.
00:33Rice and Tiller is really growing.
00:36Council and White have both been outstanding.
00:39Melvin is our quarterback on offense.
00:42On defense, it's Flory.
00:43Flory has dominated games.
00:46That group has an identity.
00:49Kansas fans have been waiting for this the entire season.
00:53Hawks are back now if they want championship.
00:56KU on the verge of re-entering the top ten for the first time in over a year, and that's
01:01what's all under pressure on campus.
01:03Jayhawks, let's see what you're made of.
01:05Let's see what you got.
01:26What did you get from the store?
01:29Steak, rice, some snacks.
01:32I'm so far the best at cooking in this apartment.
01:35Excuse me?
01:36You heard me.
01:37He likes to add ketchup and mayonnaise to everything.
01:41First off, that's a lie.
01:44Ketchup only.
01:47When did you start playing basketball?
01:50I started playing organized basketball when I first got to the state in, like, 2021.
01:55Sorry, when did you first pick up a basketball?
01:58Okay.
01:592020.
02:002020 was the first time you picked up a basketball.
02:03Yes.
02:07I grew up in the capital of the DRC, Kinshasa.
02:12My parents, you know, allowed me to leave my home at, like, 16 years old, and then I went
02:17to Kokomo High School in Indiana, which is, like, a big international program.
02:22I'm really glad that they trusted me to let me be on my own and, you know, grow as a
02:27man.
02:29I remember one time I FaceTimed my mom because I brought, like, some Congolese food.
02:33I was like, hey, how you cook this?
02:34I was excited that she can, like, teach me something, and she told me just to look it up.
02:39I was like, all right, babe, for sure.
02:41I'm not calling you anymore, for sure.
02:43That first meal that you learned to cook for yourself, how did it taste?
02:47How for?
02:50Yeah.
02:53Oh, my God.
02:54Yeah, he's probably the reason I committed to Kinshasa.
02:56I wanted to play with him.
02:58Rebound, Peterson, up the floor, Bedunga.
03:00This could be fun.
03:01A two-hand monster jam.
03:05I saw him at the NBA camp, and he was like a man amongst boys.
03:12Boy, Bedunga, man, just dunking all over everyone.
03:16He's a guy the NBA is intrigued by because of his switchability.
03:21Great defense by Kansas.
03:23Look at Bedunga.
03:23He's pretty much double-teaming.
03:27Glory is an emphatic presence in the paint.
03:30He bombs on the other end.
03:31Blocked by Bedunga.
03:32He has seven to the wingspan.
03:34He only has a 40-inch vertical.
03:36Seven blocks now, by the way, for Bedunga.
03:39Tall enough to defend the post guy.
03:40He's quick enough to defend the guard.
03:42And he has really good instincts.
03:46He's a freak.
03:46I feel like I just keep improving.
03:49Being around this atmosphere of basketball makes me grow as a player.
03:56He's just scratching the surface of the player he's going to eventually be.
04:08Catch, shot fake, one dribble to the middle, right-hand finish.
04:12Okay?
04:13Give me a good shot fake.
04:14Here we go.
04:18We love Flo.
04:19And I spent two years recruiting him when he was in high school.
04:23After last season, when Floy went in the portal and we're trying to figure out what we want to do,
04:29a lot of people would call him raw because he doesn't shoot a lot of jump shots.
04:35He doesn't handle the ball a lot.
04:37But he's getting close.
04:41And so I was like, we have to get Floy back because we knew he could take another jump and
04:47it was going to be a huge jump.
04:49We did everything we could to get him back and it's been great.
04:53Yes, sir.
04:53Good.
04:54This year, he's improved offensively.
04:57He's a much better passer.
04:59He's got better feel.
05:00He's more competitive, a better defender.
05:03But now we're going against the big boys.
05:06Guys that are all athletic like him are going against guys that are going to try to be physical.
05:12And now he's got to raise his level even another notch.
05:16He has a chance to do that tomorrow.
05:21Well, the stage is set for another epic battle here in the fog.
05:25And maybe even some Allen Fieldhouse history here in the 71st season of college basketball's best building.
05:33Never before in 1,001 games here has KU beaten a number one ranked team.
05:41We guys are number one team in our building.
05:43We need to make sure we let them know that's our building.
05:47Jayhawks are going to be down their biggest star tonight.
05:50Darren Peterson dealing with some flu-like symptoms.
05:56We play some games without Darren.
05:59I think that make us stronger.
06:01We need to just play harder than ever.
06:04A rejection by White.
06:07Flinging elbows around.
06:09Krivos turns with a jump hook.
06:10It's good.
06:12Krivos turns.
06:13Shoots.
06:14Hits.
06:1529-22.
06:16Wildcats.
06:17Here come the Jayhawks.
06:19Council Float shoots.
06:20And hits.
06:23Maybe that gets him going on a night with a doggy bandana on all of the stand seats.
06:29Jayhawks trailing by four.
06:31Get it to Tiller.
06:32He shoots.
06:33Misses.
06:34Rebound kept alive by Flory.
06:36Goes up.
06:36And knocks it down.
06:39Once you crack the crazy, I get like pumped up.
06:42I was just hearing like people scream.
06:44I was like, whoa.
06:47Oh, it's Murray's.
06:48That won't go.
06:49And Badunga pulls it down.
06:51Now Council on the go.
06:54Council.
06:54Grinch.
06:55Hipped by Krivos.
06:56That's amazing.
06:58He is now the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year.
07:02And one.
07:04And this building about to blow the roof off.
07:09It's it.
07:11Badunga inside.
07:13Black top down.
07:14And finally, KU has done.
07:17KU has pulled in front.
07:20I think we kind of felt like we were playing with house money that day.
07:24And when you're playing with house money, you're playing to win, not playing not to lose.
07:31Arizona tries to get a quick two.
07:33Get it into Bradley.
07:3479-76 Kansas.
07:37Bradley driving on Jackson.
07:38Turns and flings it back to Burry's.
07:41Burry's now picked up by Badunga.
07:43Drives past it.
07:44Goes up.
07:45Rejected.
07:46Swung away by Flory.
07:48The best defender in America.
07:51And the Jayhawks will win.
07:53A number one takedown for the first time in Allen Fieldhouse history.
08:01It wasn't good.
08:03It was exceptional.
08:05And when you do it without your projected number one pick, it's one of those moments where you look at
08:10the rest of the guys in the room and you say, okay, let's see what you're made of.
08:14Let's see what you got.
08:16I don't know where our ceiling is.
08:18I know that we're not close to it yet.
08:25I have to say marker.
08:27Hold up higher.
08:27Higher right about to your face there.
08:29And say marker.
08:31Marker.
08:32Go watch.
08:33I would say that I started playing basketball because obviously I was taller than the other kids.
08:44I grew up in Zaragoza, Spain.
08:48I play a lot of sports.
08:50Like soccer.
08:52As soon as I hit the post with my head in the top, that was one of the things that
08:58made me stop playing because I was a colleague.
09:02It was hard to move to Michigan.
09:05The culture from Spain to here is way different.
09:09But what connects me to home is the food.
09:19If I have like an off day and I wanted to feel closer to my home, I just make croquetas
09:24and a tortilla and patatas.
09:26I don't know how to do that.
09:30Not bad.
09:33When I came here, I knew Jax was the mini gang.
09:37He speak Spanish.
09:38So I asked him to speak in Spanish just between him and I.
09:43I try not to, but he always wants to do it, man.
09:46I'm like, all right.
09:47His Spanish is better, so he makes fun of me on that.
09:50It's just nice to be able to have a bilingual guy on the team.
09:53Someone who can connect with my family.
09:56Every time I speak with someone in Spanish, that makes me feel that I'm back in Spain.
10:11Do you feel like the NBA is becoming more of a reality or that hasn't hit you yet?
10:18Like, I don't really pay attention to that, you know?
10:21I read some things, but it's not bad, you know?
10:26But...
10:27The media will, you know, they'll highlight certain things and run away with it.
10:32And every point starts to matter.
10:34Every missed free throw, every possession, every turnover.
10:37Because the game just becomes so close and tight.
10:47After two years in UCLA, not getting the opportunity that I was told that I was going to get,
10:55it was a really easy decision to come here and just be part of the team.
11:03It was key for me to be around a really good team that value the way I play.
11:09And look at the hustle by Amara.
11:12Tough block it.
11:13We built our defense around him being able to protect the rim, to overrun any and every rotation.
11:21And he has a real joy in doing things to help his teammates.
11:25Amara is 7'3".
11:26You know, when you're up there, you're in your own world, right?
11:29We can't teach that.
11:30And so the sky could be the limit for him if he gets in a system which uses him correctly.
11:37The way the game's being officiated, they're beating him up.
11:40And so it's tough for him, every single possession, just to go through body checks and elbows.
11:45And because he's 7'3", he's a guy that's probably going to get fouled.
11:49Dump it down to the big fella, Amara, who gets tucked and fouled hard by Bachar.
11:54That'll send Amara to the line.
11:56He's only a 45% free throw shooter.
12:00He's 0 for 4 tonight.
12:02And he misses again.
12:04He's been struggling with making his free throws.
12:07If his percentages stayed that low, we wouldn't go and play him late in games when we had leads
12:11because teams would just go hack a shack.
12:14Yeah, I'm quite sure that's one of his New Year's resolutions is to be able to step up here
12:20and be able to knock down some free throws.
12:23I'm just trying to get better after practices, working on my free throws, working on my game.
12:32I know what I have to do to win the next game.
12:42Next thing.
12:43Slip it.
12:44Nice.
12:45Great slip, Adai.
12:46Great slip.
12:47Great slip.
12:48Great slip.
12:49The Nebraska game is going to be the biggest game we've played so far.
12:53As far as stakes, they haven't lost yet.
12:56Undefeated in conference.
12:58Tons and tons of hype around their team.
13:01Well deserved.
13:01All right, get a hit on this ball screen.
13:03But I think also, if we're still at the top, we're still one of the best teams.
13:10Yeah, we haven't been playing, you know, our best, but we're still right there.
13:14And I think we need a big game, to be completely honest.
13:17I think that we have a lot of guys who can rise up to that occasion and play well at
13:21that level.
13:22Play checks!
13:23Play checks!
13:28I've never been a guy to care about stats.
13:31It's just like these last couple weeks.
13:34My three-point shot hasn't been falling at all.
13:39I'm finna jump off something.
13:42I'm 5 for 36 in the last three, four games.
13:48I'm not finna live with a miss.
13:49Well, if you don't make shots tomorrow, we're gonna lose, so you better...
13:52Play defense.
13:53Play defense and make lives.
13:55Let's go, let's go, let's go!
14:02It's 20-0 Nebraska, 19-1 Michigan's first place in the Big Ten on the line.
14:10I'm super nervous.
14:12National television, the first top five matchup I've ever been a part of.
14:16First time I've ever even been ranked this high.
14:18So it's just like, this is crazy.
14:21Like, this is the battle of all battles.
14:25Jacobson and the Huskers strike first, 2-0 Nebraska.
14:29The Huskers seem to do everything right, a team where the hole is greater than the sum of its parts.
14:39I'm talking to myself in my head, you know, praying, hoping I deserve to be on this court.
14:45Lendeborg, open for three in the lead.
14:47It's in and out.
14:48I want to be effective.
14:49I want to do whatever I need to do to win.
14:55There can't be any more lapses of concentration.
14:57Get to the next play!
14:59Yes!
15:00Get to the next play!
15:02Defense!
15:03Defense!
15:05Defense!
15:06Defense!
15:06The Huskers, he's putting a lot of pressure on himself with making shots.
15:09I told him he doesn't have to make shots to impact winning, and so I wanted him to refocus
15:15on what was important and what this team needed of him.
15:18Case another end.
15:19Barrels in.
15:20Missed a lay-in.
15:21Lendeborg jumps for the rebound.
15:23He goes back up.
15:24That one falls down on a rattle.
15:26And the Wolverines cut it to six.
15:28Right corner.
15:29Three ball.
15:29Cheddar up.
15:30Will Cheddar's first bucket tonight.
15:33And it comes in a big spot.
15:35Shot block at nine.
15:36Jacobson leans in.
15:37Fades over.
15:38Lendeborg an air ball!
15:40White wing Lendeborg.
15:42White block.
15:43Pitches left corner.
15:43McKennie shot fake.
15:44Takes left baseline.
15:45He floats.
15:46He got it!
15:47Oh!
15:48That's gonna win!
15:49McKennie.
15:50Back to Johnson.
15:51Three to shoot.
15:52Lendeborg.
15:53It's short.
15:54Rebound.
15:54Mara!
15:55And an eighth and a foul!
15:57Oh my, that's out of the air!
16:00And Adai Mara goes up for pressure free throws.
16:06You can't have any more pressure than this.
16:08I was nervous because I knew how big was that free throw.
16:15Definitely, I felt the pressure.
16:17Oh my God!
16:19Oh my God!
16:20Oh my God!
16:21Oh my God!
16:21Oh my God!
16:22Oh my God!
16:23Oh my God!
16:24Oh my God!
16:24Big one coming out and making a two-possession lead.
16:29Down to Glasgow, the best three-point shooting team in the mid-10s.
16:3315 seconds left.
16:35Inbound, Hoiberg right forward.
16:37Leads in.
16:37Three for the tie!
16:38It's no good!
16:40And Michigan rallies for a huge win over previously unbeaten Nebraska.
16:4875-72!
16:50Wow!
16:50What a ball game!
16:58Yeah, I've been that close.
16:59Out of the way, man.
16:59Out of the way.
16:59If I could make a damn shot.
17:06My game performance was an F.
17:08I did all that dang hyping up and, you know, hoping and this and that.
17:12And then I just pooped to bed.
17:16I feel like I'm letting my team down.
17:19I've been praying about it every night.
17:22It's acid-procitis.
17:24I feel like I'm just lost right now.
17:34The Big 12 race is heating up.
17:36That means KU is right back in the thick of the league title hunt.
17:40The road tests like tonight must first be won.
17:45The swagger is back and so is Darren Peterson.
17:48Could this be the big bounce-back game for DP?
17:50Councils, curls back.
17:52Peterson, a desperation three.
17:54He buried it!
17:56Darren can take over a game in any time.
17:58He's got 20 already!
18:00And that's why they've been able to build big leads against really good teams.
18:04Peterson pulls!
18:05And hits!
18:07Three more for Darren Peterson!
18:11Peterson may have asked to come out after he hit that three,
18:14so we'll see how long he stays at.
18:16But it has been a little bit strange when he leads the second half of the game
18:20and he doesn't come back in and you're wondering, like, what's going on.
18:23Peterson, who had 23 points in just 18 minutes played,
18:27but he watched the final 17-22,
18:29which begs the question, would he have played if it was closer?
18:33I've never seen anything like the Darren Peterson situation
18:36in all my years covering college basketball.
18:39Darren Peterson is pulling himself from games.
18:41And the coach is like, I thought we were past this.
18:44I thought he was okay.
18:44I thought, nah, there's something else going on that's showing that it ain't just hell.
18:49How many cramps can you add?
18:51And because we have visual evidence of Darren looking totally fine hitting a shot and then asking out,
18:56now it feels like people have turned like, okay, he wasn't hurt.
18:59We can accept that something is up here.
19:01Load management is alive and well in college basketball, fellas.
19:05The people around them are trying to protect their investment.
19:07I started to question whether or not you love the damn game.
19:11It's not fair at all to his teammates.
19:14Self has done a good job managing this, which is, like, an impossible situation,
19:17even for a coach of Self's Hall of Fame, Caliber.
19:27I think Darren's situation is sad.
19:34I feel for him.
19:37I love the kid.
19:40The national media has gotten a hold of it to the point where, you know,
19:44everybody's got an idea what they think is going on.
19:48How much does family or an agent play a part in all of this?
19:53I think the narrative about Darren's agent trying to protect something is 100% false.
19:58It's laughable to us.
20:00The only people that want him out there as much as Darren in many ways,
20:03besides the coaches and his teammates, are his family and his people.
20:07They want him out there.
20:08They want him to kill it.
20:10There's also a business component to it.
20:13But that part hasn't been negative.
20:15If he was paying nothing or paid twice as much,
20:20he would have the same care level to doing what he wants to do.
20:24Period.
20:25So I don't get hung up on that.
20:28I've defended the situation all year long,
20:32but that doesn't impact how people think.
20:35You know what will impact how people think?
20:36When they watch him play and do it in a competitive,
20:41assassin-type way that he's known for.
20:45He understands that.
20:46He just got to go do it.
20:56What do you think the outside has wrong about you?
21:00Craziest one?
21:00To me, it's just the one, like, not liking basketball.
21:04Because there's, like, what are we talking about?
21:07I seen something that said I was going to be out of the game
21:10because I had a belly button piercing or something.
21:12That one was funny.
21:15That was, like, the funny ones like that I'm cool with,
21:18but the ones, like, I'm not playing
21:20because I didn't get my NIL money or something.
21:23Like, it's just...
21:24It's, like, far from what's going on.
21:27I feel like the only way I can get people off my back
21:31is to go kill in the game and stuff.
21:33So that's what I'm excited to do.
21:39So KU takes on Houston Monday night.
21:42This could be a season-defining moment for KU,
21:45hosting Houston, a top-ten team.
21:48How will the physicality, the style of play of Houston
21:51affect Peterson?
21:52Can he step up to the challenge?
22:05What's up, dude?
22:06Bruh.
22:08Um...
22:08What time y'all got practice later on?
22:10You don't never know your schedule.
22:11No, no, no.
22:12I didn't even answer that question.
22:13We got practice at 315,
22:14and then the bus leaves at 530.
22:16We don't practice tonight.
22:18Oh, y'all don't practice tonight?
22:19Nah.
22:20You look awful the last game.
22:23You didn't look like you wanted to be out there
22:26and play the game as much as you usually do.
22:30You wasn't trying to go for rebounds.
22:32Yeah.
22:39Yeah, I don't know what's going on, man.
23:04But I didn't know who I am.
23:07Yeah, I've done that by the way I'm running out.
23:16Yeah.
23:17Yeah.
23:17Yeah.
23:23I did.
23:25Yeah.
23:26Yeah.
23:26Yeah.
23:27Yeah.
23:29Okay.
23:30Yeah.
23:31It's okay.
23:58She wasn't telling me anything, you know.
23:59She would just say like, oh, she was at the hospital.
24:02Like, something about, like, a flu or something like that.
24:06And when she finally called me, I was on my way back from the gym.
24:11She ended up telling me she has cancer.
24:13And I immediately just broke down, man.
24:16Like, I couldn't say nothing.
24:19I remember throwing my phone, and then I just sat there crying.
24:26She was crying.
24:27She was trying to talk to me.
24:29I couldn't hear it, man.
24:30I was, I was broken.
24:32I was torn.
24:33You think your whole world is just coming to an end.
24:36Because my mom is everything.
24:40It's hard.
24:43In reality, I've had 10 kilos.
24:47Sometimes I can't stop at the bed.
24:50I feel very weak.
24:52But I know that it will help me out of this.
25:14It is super tough being far away and having her struggle, you know, and I can't be there to help.
25:20Only way I can help is financially, and it's like, that's not much.
25:24I'm going to do whatever I can to make her proud, no matter how much it hurts or how much,
25:28you know, pain I go through physically, emotionally, you know.
25:33The bigger I get, the bigger we all get, you know.
25:36The better I get, the better we all live, and I just want to just be the best son I
25:41can be, you know, because she was the best mom she could be.
25:45The better I get, the better I get, the better I get, the better I get, the better I get.
25:59Kansas, tomorrow they welcome Houston.
26:01That's going to be an all-out war.
26:03It'll be a great atmosphere, I know that.
26:05It always is at Kansas, all right?
26:07Let's play as hard as we can.
26:09The Houston defense, they could arguably be the best defense in the country right now.
26:14And this Kansas offense is kind of middling.
26:16Get it, Harmon. Let's go.
26:17One of the ways you can beat Houston is if you have guys that can make shots off the bounce.
26:22Darren Peterson can make shots off the bounce.
26:25The noise and chatter, everyone is talking about this dude.
26:28I'm sure Phil Self knows what buttons to push.
26:30Hey, hey, it's the best we look in a month.
26:33And if you just get him for a full, healthy, locked-in game,
26:36I think we could be in for something special here.
26:39All right, great attitude.
26:40Let's go.
26:41Family on three. One, two, three.
26:42Family!
26:49Hey, this is Strike right here.
26:51I caught it. Strike. Strike boys.
26:54Strike boys. Wait, hold on.
26:56Strike boys.
26:58Strike boys, baby. I caught it.
27:00I caught it, baby.
27:02We've been in that situation with DP.
27:05The media, it's their opinion.
27:06We can't stop when nobody say, it's life.
27:10But if I get a strike, you got to do 10 minutes.
27:11Yes, I will.
27:12And you got to start barking.
27:13Okay.
27:15Buddy hops. Buddy hops.
27:17He's going to get it right now.
27:18Cross!
27:21Wait, no, double nothing.
27:22That's like, if he doesn't get a strike right now, then that's double.
27:26The team has been working, improving day by day,
27:29because I have a great opponent coming up in Houston.
27:35Oh!
27:36Great team. Great matchup.
27:37We're excited to show what we can do.
27:40Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
27:43It's an explosion.
27:45I feel like that's what we signed up for.
27:47Whoa!
27:49I'm there with you, sir.
27:50I'm with Darren.
27:51Personally, I haven't been destroyed by anything.
27:54We can't control the staff.
27:56Just go with it, run with it.
27:59Everybody on the team is like, he's back.
28:01Yeah, I'm not good.
28:03I didn't want to.
28:05Darren, I keep telling him, don't listen to the critics.
28:08Like, we all know what you're going through.
28:10We got you.
28:11I messed that up. I messed that up. I messed that up.
28:13We're all buying in right now.
28:15All of us.
28:18All the way up.
28:25Really good.
28:27Again.
28:28You're leaving those ones on the ball.
28:29That's just got to be higher.
28:31Clean cross. Move the ball.
28:35Phenomenal.
28:36Good.
28:37A little bit higher.
28:39Dribble that thing.
28:40Dribble it.
28:42Pick up.
28:43Together.
28:44Perfect.
28:44Way better than last night.
28:46Really good.
28:46Come on.
28:47Come on.
28:50What will need you further?
28:52Might load up.
28:53Oh.
28:55You've done a good job of, like, all this noise, all this BS, every, I'm on the treadmill and Stephen
29:01A's talking about, like, what you've done, though, is now you're figuring it out.
29:06You've got to get tougher, got to play harder.
29:08Mm-hmm.
29:09Got to.
29:10Not, I mean, I know you're fatigued.
29:12It's different for you, and you can't control some of that stuff with your health, with your body, your cramps.
29:15But still, make yourself get in shape.
29:18Like I've been telling you, too, like, get so tired, you have to what?
29:21Ask for a sub.
29:22Ask for a sub.
29:24But, shoot, you do that now.
29:25You'll be on ESPN, everyone will be talking about this.
29:27You can't ask for a sub if you're dying.
29:29Facts.
29:33Tonight, KU hosts another top five team.
29:40Houston.
29:41The team that's one of the best in the country defensively.
29:44How will the Hawks attack here tonight?
29:47Kingston Fleming.
29:49It's a pass, and they find Khalifa Sacco.
29:52Houston with the early lead, 11-3.
29:56They're going to team tough.
29:58Start off with, you know.
30:00Peterson is sharp on him.
30:02A hesitation.
30:03Peterson, no foul.
30:05Put back, rolls in.
30:08And he wanted a foul right there.
30:10I think he was right.
30:11Actually, he's winning.
30:13But he's got to play through it.
30:15Got to play through it.
30:16From a toughness standpoint, we need to learn how to play against the type of team that Houston is.
30:23Peterson back in there.
30:25And a hard one.
30:27And a little bandage in his nose from that drive where I said he was bleeding.
30:31Peterson at the basket.
30:33And hits.
30:37To be able to take the pressure from what the rest of the world is putting on and to steal,
30:42go out there and kill it.
30:43That's the type of energy I need next to me.
30:52Kansas making a push.
30:55White will drop.
30:5919 for Trey White.
31:03Kansas knockoff number five, Houston, here tonight.
31:09And I was thinking about Derrick Peterson, hoping that he would come out and play minutes, right?
31:15Because all you've been through.
31:17The fact that he played minutes is a good sign for this team.
31:22Hey, guys.
31:23Great, great team win.
31:25He was unbelievable tonight.
31:27Yeah, Trent.
31:28Yeah, Trent.
31:31This dude has been through more than anybody, all right?
31:34But he's a man and he can handle it.
31:36I'm proud of you.
31:37We'll get you back.
31:38Let's go.
31:55I'm a mom, man.
31:56You know, she's going through cancer.
31:58She's battling.
32:01She's not working anymore, you know, which is something that she loved to do.
32:06But, man, she's just going through life day by day, man.
32:10Just trying to stay composed, stay happy.
32:14Hello?
32:16Yes.
32:17Hi.
32:19Yeah, hola.
32:20So, yes, we're checking how you're doing.
32:23And how are you doing today?
32:25Yeah.
32:25Hace mucho frío aquí, pero...
32:27Aquí también, yep.
32:29Sí, hay mucha nieve.
32:31Yeah.
32:32Y tú, ¿te sientes bien?
32:34Yeah, más o menos, you know?
32:36Voy a...
32:37Tengo platicando un poquito, se me voy a ir para allá y...
32:40Y también.
32:41Platicando duro, ya tú sabes.
32:43Te amo, chicas de ganas.
32:44Ya, te amo también.
32:47Y fuerte pa'lante siempre, ¿ok?
32:49Sí.
32:50Yo voy a...
32:51Gracias, gracias.
32:53Te amo mucho, mi hijo, ya te sientes.
32:55Te amo también, bye.
32:57Bye.
33:01We talk a lot about basketball being a roller coaster.
33:04I never really felt how much a roller coaster really is until this year.
33:12Michigan, a big-time blowout over Penn State.
33:17I really leaned into my people.
33:19The fact that I was actually letting it get to me was making it even worse for me or frustrating
33:24me.
33:25Like, I don't want to be that guy.
33:27Michigan comes in here and goes wire to wire.
33:3282-61.
33:33This team's getting better.
33:35I love Yaxl!
33:37I'm just going to try to take it one game at a time and continue to go back to playing
33:41like how I used to.
33:42Yax's game has gone to a different level.
33:44He's starting to show that leadership right now.
33:48Lindeborg.
33:49At one point, it finally just switched.
33:5386-56.
33:54Yaxl Lindeborg is starting to play some of his best basketball of the season.
34:01From the Michigan World of the Week, 91-80.
34:04Michigan, number one and looking every bit apart on the road.
34:08I'm sure they're hoping they're going to win it all, but a lot of work to do until you get
34:13to that point.
34:14Michigan and Duke, they have a big matchup coming up.
34:16When you get an out-of-conference, neutral-sight matchup, that is going to have an NCAA tournament style feel.
34:22Michigan and Duke, they have a big matchup.
34:32Michigan, Brooklyn, Utah.
34:32Who's going to have a big matchup?
34:33I have Yaxl, Yixembi, Yikari, and Yixiel.
34:39These women are more women.
34:43Let's prepare this, Paco.
35:10Who's the better defensive player here?
35:13Me?
35:16It's difficult to decide.
35:18But I like to play all sports.
35:22It's very important.
35:25We're a sport family.
35:44Amen.
35:46Amen.
35:52I know, I'm nervous.
35:56I'm nervous.
35:58I'm nervous.
35:58I'm nervous.
35:59But I know that Michigan won't win.
36:02Let's go to Michigan.
36:03Duke is a team.
36:05Very good.
36:07We're number one.
36:09They're number three.
36:20They know what we're going to do.
36:21He's going to take one step to you to try to confuse you.
36:25Because it's a lot of pressure.
36:27It's a lot of pressure for him as a player, for the team.
36:34When he's playing, even if I'm not next to him, I'm always nervous.
36:39But it's a great experience and beautiful experience.
36:44And seeing him play there, it's like wow.
36:48It's a great experience.
36:54It's a great experience.
37:08Duke, Michigan highlights an elite Saturday in college basketball.
37:14Duke has so many weapons.
37:17Cameron Boozer, he is such a versatile scorer, has been the best player in college basketball.
37:22Now what's at stake in this non-conference game?
37:24The winner of this game will be the team to be the number one overall seed in the NCAA tournament
37:31on Selection Sunday.
37:33Yes!
37:36C-Cell, you see her there in the stands.
37:39She just finished up a round of chemotherapy since she was able to make it today.
37:43I'm the most proud mother of the world.
37:47Because he's doing what we've dreamed of once.
37:50It's number one and number three.
37:53And here we go.
37:56That's it.
37:58Bowled and cast the bastard.
38:04What a play by Roddy Dale Jr., the transfer from Ohio State.
38:09Rendeboard comes down with it and finishes.
38:13Boozer.
38:15Lobb it over to his brother.
38:17And Cam Boozer, bankson scores.
38:19He went right into the body of Mara.
38:21That takes away his shot blocking ability.
38:23And a five-goal run for the Blue Devil.
38:26Mismatch inside, and Lendeborg scores again.
38:31Bamboozy, spinning into the paint.
38:34Picks it to Foster.
38:36Got it!
38:36What a play by Cameron Boozer.
38:39He has to figure out a way to get a dime Mara away from the basket.
38:44He's right into his chest, and a foul is called.
38:47And Mara just picked up his second.
38:50So that could be it for Mara for the rest of the half.
38:54You know, he gets in foul trouble.
38:55He's just, you know, cursing at himself in Spanish.
38:57And I'm like, bro, you're good.
38:58Like, you know, we got you.
38:59It doesn't matter.
39:01Lendeborg's open.
39:03It's the three.
39:07A no-look pass to the win.
39:11Lendeborg's got 15 of their 24.
39:13And it'll be Duke taking a two-point lead into the brink.
39:28What a matchup.
39:29Boozer and Lendeborg.
39:32Boozer drives into a crowd.
39:34Lendeborg got knocked down.
39:36These are a miss.
39:37Hemenya rebounds.
39:40They are in a fistfight tonight with Duke and right now Duke is running.
39:45But guys, they're kicking our ass every loose ball and every rebound.
39:50100%.
39:51That ball's got a blast.
39:52That ball's got a blast.
39:52That ball's got a blast.
39:52One-on-one bounce around.
39:53And we're like looking at it.
39:55Somebody go get the ball and smack it on us like something.
39:58We can't lose every loose ball.
39:59We got it right now.
40:00That ball's got a blast.
40:01That ball's got a blast.
40:06Eddins puts it on again.
40:09Somehow got it to Brown and he got blocked.
40:12Big possession here for Michigan.
40:15And Michigan has got to find a way to move this defense.
40:19Marligo to walk offensively.
40:22To go!
40:23Lendeborg again!
40:33No one loving it more than mom it looks like we are going right down to the wire
40:46and it's a five point lead for Duke Michigan needs a quick score
40:54Burnett misses the three, took play, serves to end, and Duke can win it!
41:17The Duke Blue Devils meet the number one team in the nation,
41:22I think there's a very good cast and we see both these teams at Indianapolis in the Final Four
41:30First of all, we got each other's backs, you know, use this as a learning experience
41:34We have four games remaining, all four of them are for a Big Ten Championship
41:37Let's make sure we stay together, let's make sure you guys are all about each other
41:41You trust us, we trust you, let's make sure we turn this into the right thing
41:44A lot went wrong, but once again we gotta figure out ways if that happens again to win the game
41:49regardless
41:50I do think we competed at a high level, and you can lay your head down at night if you
41:53compete
41:53Stay poised, stay connected, fellas
41:55Yep
41:56Good call, man
41:57Family on three, one, two, three, family
41:59Let's go
42:05Bruh
42:19We all know that we're capable of doing a lot, just want us to stick together and lock everything else
42:24out, we know how good we are, we know how good we can be
42:27We do have a big challenge ahead, and I want Mom to be there, and I feel like we can
42:33bring the Natty home
42:34That would be the best gift I can give her for now
42:47What'd you get?
42:48Nashville hot?
42:49Are you sure you can get it?
42:50Yeah, man
42:50Can I get an iced tea?
42:53Yeah
42:53With the lemon?
42:54Does anybody else want anything to drink?
42:56In that bag, on there
42:57You already got lemonade?
42:58Yeah
42:59Is there anything that you guys think need to happen to give us the best chance to be our best
43:05here in the lab?
43:06Last month
43:10But it takes a commitment to play faster, it can't just be one guy pushing it, playing fast
43:15It's gotta be the bigs running, the wings running, and everybody running
43:19What we gotta do for us to go where we wanna go is, we gotta be 100% at least
43:24aligned on what we think wins
43:28I think that the hardest thing for anybody here is Darren
43:32Because Darren hasn't been able to play like he's capable of playing, and it's gotta be so frustrating to him
43:37And everything else going on
43:39But the bottom line is, he's got to understand from this point forward
43:44Hey, I am gonna do it
43:47And all you gotta do is put it together for 3 weeks or 4 weeks
43:51But we gotta help you
43:53We gotta do more to help you
43:55Do you guys agree with me on that?
43:56Yeah
43:56Let me ask you something, and I'm being serious here
44:00Y'all jealous of him?
44:02I am
44:03Are y'all jealous of him?
44:04I don't know, he got it
44:06No, that's what I'm saying
44:07That's what I'm saying
44:07You guys want him to score and do well, don't you?
44:11Yeah
44:11It makes the game easier for everybody else
44:13You got to be aggressive
44:15I mean, they're telling you
44:17And in turn, when you help yourself, it helps everybody else
44:20I think it's been a fun year
44:23And the worst thing about a season coming to an end
44:27Is for certain individuals, it's over for good
44:34Trey, it's over for good
44:38Darren, it's over for good
44:40Mel, it's over for good, depending on what you other cats do
44:43Bryson or Chloe with the draft
44:45It could be
44:46So, if you guys are enjoying it
44:48Don't you want to last as long as possible?
44:55We've been on a rollercoaster
44:58That's why coming into the last month
45:00There's new optimism
45:03But there's also nervousness
45:05Which Kansas team's going to show up?
45:12And that's it
45:13The end of a dominant regular season
45:18Arch madness is exhilarating
45:22In every sense of what that word means
45:25The season lasts a long time
45:27But the ending can be abrupt
45:28If you have one off night, it's over
45:32Michigan Wolverines are the third overall
45:35Number one seed
45:37And that LJ Cason injury is really going to hurt them
45:42Kansas extending its record
45:4436 consecutive appearances
45:46Three wins over top five teams this year
45:48Been doing it a long time
45:50Life in the fast lane a long time
45:52Council accelerates
45:53Oh, and a five
45:54I've had a pretty good run
45:56Who knows?
45:58What a block
