Best of March Madness Part 2: Michigan CROWNED CHAMPS beating UConn, Mike Malone isn't ENOUGH! UNC better drop a BAG in the portal!

The first game. UConn tops Illinois to advance to his third title game in four years. This is a case to be made that Tars reach 17 points in level rebounds today, had been the best player in the tournament. Solo Ball has also recorded double digits in scoring in three consecutive games. Braille and Mullins 15 points, two steals, four and seven from three. UConn held the best offense in the country to a 34% clip from the field. They connected on a barrage of three, 12, the most in final four game for the program. The Huskies didn't commit a turnover in the first half, a record under Bobby Hurley. Man, when you look at the way they play, I don't know what it is about this kid. And I think Mullins is a freshman. The first half he and Reeve got up to this great start. And then they were cold. But when they needed to get a bucket, man, you see, hey, Hurley got no problem dialing up a plate and the kid hit a three. And he did, when it matters most, Unkie did the same thing last game. He was shooting three after three and was missing and missing and miss after miss. But when they needed it most, he showed up in the last game and was able to get them that win. Same thing tonight. Now, I'm not sure I'm not sure if they'll be able to get away with it playing a team like Michigan. That that's much better. That can get you behind the eight ball. No, down, down double digits real quick. You know what? When I look at this, Joe, I don't know what people think. I mean, but from him to win three championships in four years, you're looking at something only Wooden is doing. Man, what's your problem? Not not not not, you know, you look at Coach K, you look at Coach Smith and you look at Coach Knight and you look at Roy Williams and you look at some of these guys only wouldn't here he has an opportunity to win three championships. Yeah. In a in a four year span. Now, I don't know. I don't want to I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. But boy, he'd be in. I mean, you think about when you can say I want only only one of the coach will can say they've done this and that's Coach Wooden. Yeah. Who won 10 and I think he won like seven, eight in a row. Oh, damn. Hey, when you got somebody like Hurley. At the helm, I get old Joe. Yeah. I think he he he he drives belief in his players. I take out the him as far as his attitude, his fireiness, how they compete. Like Illinois is a pretty good team and they probably the highest scoring team in NCAA this year. And for them to get held to 62 points, I thought I didn't think it was a pretty game, but I thought Connecticut control the game, the entire game. You know what I mean? Pretty much from start to finish. They got up to a pretty good start. Like you say Mullins got up to a great start, made a couple of threes early. Now you find a rhythm and it's like playing catch up. This game is one of the nine point game. This game was a lot worse than that. You know what I mean? They only lost by now, but I thought Illinois was really they made a little room. They made a little comeback toward the end. But for the most part, man, Connecticut control this whole game. They control the whole game. Yeah. I mean, Connecticut is tough. I mean, you look at and I don't know if we've seen a problem. Because you look at a program, you look at what a coach Cal Hoon did. And we know the level of talent that he brought in there from the Rip Hamilton's to all those guys that he brought in there. Yeah. Ray Allen's Rip Hamilton, Bill in the waiver, a Oka for and all those guys. And yeah, Kimba, you know, cardiac Kimba. Yeah, a lot of these guys. And then Kevin Olly did it with a different guy. And here comes Dan Hurley. And you look at this, I mean, coach Cal Hoon, one three, Kevin Olly, one one. That's four right there. If this guy, he'll have seven that'll put him in front of Duke. That'll put him in front of North Carolina. That'll be trailing only north. That'll be trailing. If I'm not mistaken, that might put him in front of Kentucky. Yeah, I forgot. Coach Rupp, Coach Rupp had back in the 40s. Yeah, yeah. Coach Rupp had had a stick down there at a University of Kentucky. But for what he's doing and you understand, make you work a little hardy. Like, hold on. These dudes at the game won't want to have no let down. That same thing with Connecticut. You got Ray Allen and all the guys there, Rip Hamilton. I just think it's a dope. I think it's a dope environment. I'm glad to see these guys moving along. And I think Connecticut and Michigan is going to be a hell of a game on Monday night, fellas. Oh, yeah, always great. Oh, Joe, you know, being in the league and you see those former great, you see Moon Yolks and a lot of these old guys come back to the alumni. Yeah. When you was at Arkansas and some of those old guys be a Coralus Williams. Yeah, our day. Yeah. Sydney Monkree for a lot of these old guys, they come back. You like, damn, man, y'all came back to see us. Yeah. And I can't let y'all guys down. I gotta win this one. Right. Right. You know, it's kind of like when home come on, everybody comes back. You want to play your best ball because everybody's coming back and you know why they came back. Right. Yeah, I love that also. I love that you look at Duke and how those guys go back in the summer and they play and all those guys that's going to Duke. They like, damn, I damn sure want to be. I want to be a part of that or Alabama, you know, and the way a lot of these a lot of these teams that produce a lot of NFL or NBA players, they go back. Yeah. When they go back and let's like, OK, they really close. This is really a brotherhood. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. If there's no jealousy or guys just competing, playing at a hard level, they can pass along what it's like to play, what it's like to be in this situation. Guys started this 40 plus years ago. Your job is to continue it. Just like our job was to continue it. We passed it on to you. Absolutely. You guys got to continue this. Absolutely. You can't look like you said, Joe, it wasn't. I mean, it wasn't like you con shot the cover off the ball. No team. One team shot 35 percent. The other team shot 34 percent. Yeah. One team shot 23 percent from the three. The other team shot 36 percent from the three. Yeah. The difference is that you con and you con makes you play like this. Yeah. Yeah. They get up until you. Yeah. They pick you up. They're pressing the ball. Hey, those guards, they pressure back court. They do a great job of rebounding. They do a great job of boxing out. Yeah. Man, I can't say enough about Coach Hurley. You know, I thought he'd been a great fit for the Lakers, but he's like, nah, that ain't, I'm a Jersey kid. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, uh, yeah. Another thing about Mr. Hurley not really taking that Lakers job, you know, ain't really no security in that, you know, especially when it comes to coaching Lakers, the pressure that comes with coaching Lakers. You ain't coaching the Lakers like you coach you con. You ain't fit to be yelling at Luca and LeBron. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of different. Oh, but Joe, a Joe is no sense of security in taking a job like that. Even, even though it's a good job to have, it's a prestigious job to have. Obviously coaching a historic franchise like the Lakers, but I understand what Mr. Hurley turned that down, even with the money they was offering them. Yeah. I ain't gonna be, I ain't gonna be that too long. Yeah. I'm not gonna be that too long because soon as things don't go right, I'm out the goddamn dough. You're going to be the scapegoat. And I think I think I can also in college, you know, as a coach, you got a little more control. Oh, you got a lot of control. Yeah, you got all the control to be honest. You get you get guys that are very hungry to work and obviously make it to the next level, so they're going to do pretty much whatever you ask. Yes, as opposed to you get to the Lakers. It's been a make three hundred me. How you telling me what to do? So I mean, you know what it's like, you know what it's like, oh, yeah, you got a lot more. Your your mom, them and grandparents look at you a lot differently when you making the money. When you pay it all the bills. Yeah, yeah. That all of a sudden, you know what? It's OK, baby, come in here when you want to. Where before I could come in the house after midnight, but that may come in when you want to. Yeah. And so we and Joe, you said something and oh, Joe, we've talked about this as a 18, 19 year old kid, he's trying to get to the next level. So as Joe said, that guy is going to pretty much do whatever you tell him because he feel you're helping him get to that level. I'm already at that level. What you telling me? Right. What? They're going to be you see how Luke did. JJ told him go sit his ass down when he came down. That's it. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, and at that at that point, too, Joe, you know, correct me if I'm wrong. It takes a certain coach to gain the kind of respect for players that's already millionaires that got that kind of money. Yeah, it depends on who coaching them. You know what I mean? I do. Players have the control at the NBA, but depending on the face that's the head coach of them. They wouldn't listen. Yeah, a little bit more receptive depending on what it is, especially, I would think maybe a former player or maybe a coach that has a winning record like a field Jackson. Yeah. Feel you got to manage. You got to deal with egos, oh, Joe. Yeah, because at the college game, you can tell the guys because you got five, five stars. Yeah. Yeah. Say in order for us to win, we've got to, OK, you got to do this. You got to do that. But when you got those kind of guys, I'm getting my points down. What he said, even that ball. I'm playing. I'm playing 40 minutes and I'm going to get my numbers. Yeah, right. Yeah. If I if in the course of this game, you know, I can get me four or five rebounds and this y'all some assists, but I'm going to get my points. And so that's what feel was really good at. Feel was really good at managing egos. And that's what you have to do. That's it's awesome. And as a coach, Joe, you know this, oh, Joe, you know this. That's a grown man. He got a wife, too. Yeah, yeah. You are you are you talking to him like like he's there? Yeah, I'm a grown ass man. Yeah. So, you know, you can talk to some of them college players like that. But I probably you get to the pros, bro. It's only so much guys going to take. I'm telling you, they may let it go. Put hands on you. Yeah, they just they'll have to. Hey, I ain't telling what somebody told me. I'm telling what I know. I can't talk to no man like you talk to 18, 19, or kid. Yeah, slap five from you. And listen, hey, boy, I've been in some locker rooms. Why seeing some coaches and some players get into it. And I'm like, hold on. What's going on here? Yeah, it's it's different, bro. It's different when you get to the pros, man. It's different. Hey, how you let that man push you down? How you let that man kick you your butt? Come on. I mean, I can never do that because the way we I grew up in the south and the coach, the coach was damn like a parent, whatever he said. If you if I go home and say, great, the coach grab my face mask and did all this. What the first thing she had, what you do? Right. What you supposed to say? You supposed to say, nah, baby, he only supposed to do that. Absolutely. What I did, no matter what I did, he should have grabbed my face mask. And listen, but as a grown man, you got to have a level of them. That's what I said. You got to be careful how you a man talk to another man. Well, well, you tried to win games. Okay. Okay, win game. It's hard to win game with one of your best players got a lot close. Yeah. And that is really important to Uncle Joe at that level, whether it's whether it's NFL, whether it's MLB, whether it's even NBA. Every coach has to know his player. Every coach has to know his limits. You got to know how to coach certain people a different way. You can you can coach some people hard. I agree. And some people you can't be like that. I know you got you got to call them a little bit. I get what you want out of them. Yeah. You know, to maximize their talent, you better understand your players very, very well. Yeah, because everybody hands on you. Yeah. But because everybody don't respond the same way. No, you know what I mean? Like you can. It's just like, man, when I was playing at Arkansas on the coach Nolan Richardson, Uncle Ocho, I'm talking about man, we talk about somebody who stayed on my ass. I'm like, I started wondering if he liked me. But then, you know, as you get older, you like, well, if he on you, then he sees something in you. Something. Yeah. But if he come in there and he don't look at you, don't speak to you. Oh, it's a problem. Yeah. You know what I mean? So I had to learn that way. Uh, coach Kyle would tell the story about when he was a D coordinator in, um, in Kansas City and, uh, Percy Snow. Percy Snow came out with me. He's from Michigan State. And, uh, uh, if I'm not mistaken, Percy might have been defensive player of the year. Jason, who was defensive, not about to be him, I'll say out. But anyway, coach say he was real quiet. Yeah. And he did something and, uh, uh, coach was trying to say something and, uh, uh, um, and Percy didn't respond. So coach Kyle will cut the light on and say, Percy, you hear what I'm saying? He said, Percy, turn around. Coach, is there a problem? Cause he turned the light off. No, it ain't no problem. For real? Hey, hey, I found that out the hard way. When coach stay on you, man, don't be one of them guys who always got something to say back. Cause if you are, he's going to be on your ass all day long. I mean, hey, look, he got on me. I sit there just taking it and just keep moving. You know what I mean? I ain't never say nothing back. Cause I want you to go on, leave me alone. Exactly. But you, like I said, some coaches you can ride. Some coaches you got to be facetious. I mean, some players you got to be facetious with. Some players, a player's like, look at son, this is what we need from you. We need to be X, Y and Z. And you need to explain it to him in a tone. Cause I'm telling you, you try to talk to everybody, you try to coach everybody the same way. Yeah. I'm telling you. Hey, I'm saying, don't show it. Joe, I tell it what somebody told you. Yeah. I've seen it. Yeah. And I'm one of the few obviously. Oh, really? My, my, my upbringing, Joe, you know how coaching was. I'm sure you've seen many clips, uncle. You know how they, you know how they coach down here in Miami. You know how they coaching, you know, in the inner city is different to screaming, the cussing, the coaches, slapping at the helmet, grabbing up the yanking. You know how that is. That's how I came up. That bingo. So obviously in Cincinnati, you know, man, Hugh Jackson, I don't care about you winning 85. I don't care about you being Chad. I don't care about you being Ocho. I'm going to coach you the same way I was coached when I was growing up and I understood that. So I'm you saw, because I'm used to it from back then. Yeah. I thought, okay, this is how it's supposed to be. I wasn't tripping. Yeah. But other players that weren't even at my level of talent or caliber. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He had to coach him a different way. Man, yeah, yeah. Coach me hard, man, cuss me out. I don't care what you do. Slap me helmet up, whatever. If that's what it takes to get the best out of me, I'm all for it. I don't know. You can do that. Now I don't know if you can coach a young kid like like what we got close to. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, man. Parent, parent, parent to be at parent to be at the school, parent to be at the field, cutting the fool. Yeah, they gonna be in the corner here after that. They gone. Oh, yeah. Because you see the parents not run out there and be fighting the coaches and all kind of things. Oh, hey. It would have, it would have, I ain't never heard, I ain't never heard of no parents. I mean. Sorry for the voice note. Just running for the taxi. Did anyone pack hair straighteners? No, I didn't. I've got hair straighteners. Everybody relax, pre-departure drink anyone? Sure, you can roam in the EU at no extra cost, but what really matters is friends and family. That's why we're happy to be your second most important network. Tesco Mobile. It pays to be connected.

Awkward best man speech. The plus one. People dancing in a circle. Ruin drental suit. Sometimes in life you just know what you're getting. Like a luxury bed and a great night's sleep. You know what you're getting the premier in. Growing up in coaches with brown face masks and snap your side of the head or do all kinds of stuff punching the chest. Yeah. And not one parent ever came out there. No. No. No. Because most of the time the parents knew the coach. They went to school with him. Yeah. Yeah. Always. Yeah. Uncle Joe you seen the clip of the 707. The dude knocked out the ref. I seen he was. Yeah. I saw that. Yes. Yes. Fired on him. He was squaring up with the other ref. A one ref knocked out on the floor. He squared up with the other one. I'm like man what are we doing? What does 707 come to? Hey those are parents that are living their life through the kids. Kids. See if you if like Joe what Joe looked like out there. You like you think your kid is your meal ticket. Yeah. So you living vicariously through your kid. Joe was a professional. I was a professional. You was a professional. Oh Joe you ain't finna be carried on like that. Cause you've had your life. Let the kid live their life. Yeah. When you live vicariously through your kid you think that's you. That ain't you. Sit your ass down. Yep. And then the mistakes that you made as a youngster you trying to help him not make those. Not make them. Yeah. But oh Joe you said something I agree with you too. I think the upbringing that we had meaning the tough coaching. Yes. I was in when I was in playing a you ball for Mike Greenwood, Sylvester Allen. They kind of raised they raised me taught me the game taught me how to compete. And then you get to high school and college is different and I'm getting chewed out. You know what I mean. So by the time I'm making to the pros. I can hold Joe the coach get on me. Man that's going one after the other. Out the other. Yeah. That don't even bother me. Bro you gonna let me play or what I just want to play. Hey. Hey. And you know what I don't think a good thing. Uncle Joe you think about today's society and the way kids are being raised. They're being coddled. There's really no discipline. There's really no structure. And I think it's almost handicapped in the kids because once they get in the real world. They got no copers. They don't know. No. No. There you go. They go as soon as it gets tough. It's going to eat you. It's going to eat you up. It's going to eat you up quick. So I wish in a sense we can go back to maybe not how it was when we grew up. But just a little bit of structure. Just a little bit of discipline because life ain't going to be fair once you out there on your own. It's hard to have discipline. You can't get your hands up. The way these kids talk back. I mean you might suck. You might they call it kissing your teeth. Do you might suck. Yeah. You might roll your eyes or stomp off or something. But it wasn't nobody blatantly just talking back and cursing out the teacher. Like we see clips. Yeah. Students fighting teachers. That was. Hey. Why I don't see. I don't see. I couldn't be no teacher man. I couldn't be no teacher. Hey you see some of the clips. Hey Joe you see some of the clips the way the students talk to the teachers. Yeah. I don't see. They slap them. Yeah. I don't see. You better get out my face. They be on their phone. Kid might come back and pop you. I ain't got time for that man. Could you imagine raising your hand at a teacher back then. No. No. Boy that teacher called home and told Barney or Mary. Hey. What? I ain't going home. No. You called my grandma. Hold on my grandma. Hold on. My grandma made me Joe. And I'm supposed to be a mommy Northwestern. You know what Teddy Bridgewater know. Yeah. The boys went. Oh. I'm in the inner city. My grandma say baby listen. Once you hit ninth grade you not going over there. I need to be able to keep an eye on you. She sent me over there to mommy BC high. Why? Because she's taught at the middle school. She taught at the Nautilus Middle School. Oh yeah. Long behold I was very smart of her because my bad ass always giving class. Yeah. She able to get over there in 10 minutes to me. Yeah. She already knew you was a little girl. Oh. Hey Joe I was bad Joe. I don't really know. I ain't going to lie to you Joe. I wasn't like in the street bad. I was bad in school bad. It's good.

You know in high school with us and in order to be outside the class while class was going on you had to have a hall pass. Yes sir. You had to have a pass. You might say I had hall passes in my bag already signed based on what period it was. So if I got caught in the hall I could show it. And I got suspended five days when they found out I had stolen passes and the teacher really didn't sign it. Oh man. Hey your parents they be pissed if you get suspended boy. You got to stay home for more than three days. Oh yeah. Hey you got to stay home for three days. Hey don't answer the door for nobody. Right. Nobody. I don't care who it is. Nobody should be coming here doing work hours. That's how I was shaking out of a couple of extra dollars. I've been a hermit them hurt my heart. Oh y'all got suspended huh. Okay.

Cause boy if I told Barney Porter they were suspended. Oh no. Been on like donkey come with me. What. Man that man ain't play that fool. Hey. He's like he already told him say you ain't got to go to school but if you go to school go to learn. Right. Similarly that is a you could quit. You quit. You got to work. Yeah. But if you go to school don't be a he did not he did not believe my grandmother saying wait don't I believe in wasting people time. Yeah.

But I just like man I sure want to be a good enough player one day. A coach won't yell at me. I can say not on yelling me like that. Don't coach me like that.

North Carolina search for the next head coach has landed an unexpected place as the Tar Heels intend to hire a long time NBA coach Michael Malone as the school's next head coach Malone is an NBA champion from his time with the Denver Nuggets won 510 games in 12 seasons. He's one of the most respected tacticians in the NBA spent the past 10 months as an ESPN analyst Malone hasn't coached college since he was an assistant at Manhattan in 2001. He was also assistant at Providence from 95 to 98 and Oakland from 94 to 95. According to ESPN Malone's reputation as a coach is high in NBA circles and having the respect of UNC legends Michael Jordan and Roy Williams played a role in the hire. No, no knowing how Carolina normally hires they like to keep it in the family. If you think about it they went from a coach coach Smith to Guthrie to Matt Dardy. I think they had Peterson and then they got old Roy and then they turned it over to Hubert Davis. Yeah, I think I think that's the succession. Who came in after Matt Dardy before you go Joe. Okay, so there was no there so it went for a Roy came after Matt Dardy and then it went Hubert Davis. So you like this high Joe. I love this high uncle Joe, you know, Mike Malone is a proven winner. Obviously we know he's won an NBA title and he's a great player and he's a great coach. I think he's a great coach. I think he's a great coach. I think he's a great coach. I think he's a great coach. I think he's a great coach. I think he's a great coach. Obviously we know he's won an NBA championship on the highest level. He's coached MVP, Nikola Yolkich, you know, all stars like Jamal Murray. And when y'all look at it now, we know college is a professional sport, bro. This ain't just regular college no more. So you want a coach who's well respected, you know, who these recruits are going to idolize and look up to and want to, you know, come to North Carolina. North Carolina is a prestige school, man. So they trying to get back on the winning track. I thought this was a great hire. Hey, look, and another point is the portal opens tomorrow. The basketball portal opens tomorrow. So now you got a coach who's in the driver's seat and now he can go out and get some players because y'all know it's probably about 2,000 players in the portal right now. And the thing is, Joe, you got to have a coach on hand when the portal opens. You got to. You can't wait. You can't hire somebody on Wednesday. You can't hire somebody on Thursday. You've got to have somebody in place. When that portal opens and says, okay, we got our guy because you can't go to a kid and says we're thinking about hiring X, Y, and Z. The kids want to know who they could potentially be playing for. Outside of the, how much, how much you got for your boy? Okay. Now we talking. Outside of that, that's the first thing. How much you got? How much and how many minutes? That's what I need to know. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Hey, Joe and uncle. That's the first thing I'm going to say, right? Listen, I know Mike Malone, right? Yeah. We're respected. We're respected in the circles when it comes to NBA. He's won a championship. He coached one of the greatest, if not one of the greatest big men of all time in the Kolioka. Yes. Yes. That has no bearing and no weight is not going to pull any strings being the hiring head coach at North Carolina. You got the pay to play. You got the pay to win. You understand the landscape of college basketball right now and football in general. You know, to get those players in there, you got to come with the bag. Hello. We respect what you've done in NBA. We expect y'all keeping it in the family when it comes to hiring coaches at North Carolina, but you have to understand, open up your checkbook if you want to get the players to come there. Just because you hire Mike Malone doesn't mean you're going to have success. Yeah. It doesn't mean that. Now I respect him and what he's done in NBA. I respect that. The players probably respect that as well. But how much are you paying me to come here even though it's a prestigious school? We know what you've done. We understand the players that's come there before, but time is a different now. Yeah. You got the pay to win and that's what it comes down to. Some of these guys, Joe's like, hey, I'm going to make me about four or five million dollars in case I don't make it to the NBA. I got a great head start on life because you know, sometimes your parents be able to give you like, hey, my kids, they got a head start. They had no college debt and they had a car already taken care of. So they got a head start. Everybody got, you know, and within a month or two, they had jobs already lined up, but they had no college debt and they had a car. So they got a head start. So guys like, hold on, I ain't make the NBA. Now I can go to the G League or I can go overseas, but if not, I can go ahead and start my whatever I got my degree in or whatever the case may be. I've got me a nice little egg, nice little nest egg. I got 500 million dollars stashed away. Yeah. I can get me a great start if I can just wait until the job that I really won't get to come to fruition. This is how these guys think you're business people now. Yeah. All that student athlete. Damn that. Yeah, you're right. Y'all try to do that. Talk about student athletes. Y'all didn't care. Nobody nobody get no books until they started getting some money. And now y'all try to put student put emphasis on student athletes. Now, which one of them got an academic scholarship? Walk known to the football team because they already had a degree already had a college tuition paid for. The college tuition is paid for because of those academic because of the football or that basketball or that baseball. Y'all keep that student athlete boy job. I'm an athlete that happened to be have to be a student. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, and we know that even though the portal opened tomorrow, we know teams are already been working. Oh, yeah, they've been talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're going to act like, you know, tomorrow the first day, but they've been they've been recruiting since the tournament started. Yeah. Teams and they're gonna see them a little something with Joe. They don't see them a little something. Yeah, y'all already know what's going on. Yeah, they locked in because look, think about it. We've never seen North Carolina. Obviously, you know, they're gonna have a lottery pick. They're gonna have a top four or five pick this year and Caleb Wilson. But for the most part, they always have great players at North Carolina. You know what I mean? North Carolina Duke, those those blue blood teams always keep great talent. So with Mike Malone at the helm, Uncle Ocho, I'm sure he gonna be looking forward to bringing in some great talent and putting, you know, a chapel here in North Carolina back back on the map for sure. Yeah. You know, Joe, they're not getting the because of the the one and done and the NIL, the talent is more spread out. You know, before Joe, they only went to like a half of the school. Yeah. North Carolina Duke Kansas got first pick and then another five or 10 guys kind of spread out all over the place. But Duke Carolina and Kansas and Kentucky got picked. They got it. It was like a summer. If you ain't have no money, you got to wait there. Everything is scrapped over. People don't try to show and not it like, man, this show don't feel like no 30s. They feel like boy, like a 32 34 because everybody to squeeze their ass in them. And you get you, your mommy had no money to put it on layaway. So you get what everybody picked over. Call it a joke. Hey, Uncle Joe, just like you said, right? It's a business, right? And when it comes to business, right? When you got goddamn bees, what's the best way to attract bees with the goddamn honey? So the college landscape is goddamn even that would play is going all over the place. So if you understanding that now that you understand it's a goddamn business. Hey, oh, goddamn supply and demand. The more you open up your pocket, the more players you can get. Yeah. Come to your school. Now, thinking just because it's North Carolina, thinking just because we have the Jordan brand thing, just because we we hired Mike Malone, you know, who's we are respected in the circles in the NBA. That's not going to cut it. Still got it. I mean, it ain't it ain't cut it for how many coaches they had before you be Davis. Well, Roy, Roy, and that's why, you know, you see a lot of coaching to about, you know, I want to spend more time with my family. But I guarantee you if the NIL hadn't come into a place and you still had the upper hand, they'll be coaching. Yeah, yeah, be coaching. Y'all already know what's going on. Hey, but look, they go on. Hey, they going after these these guys that's in the portal that has experience who's been in college who are juniors and seniors. You look at Michigan people going to copy this man. You know what I mean? You want guys who not scared, who understands what college basketball is like and going to come out and compete. So, hey man, if you're a freshman, you got to be a five star and you got to be that boy. You hear me? Yes. You want to come in and play boy, you're going to be that boy. And the fact of the matter is, Joe, is that a guy that's in the portal, he's already been to college. He already knows he has study hall. He already knows he has to lift weights. He already knows he has to condition. He already knows he has to go to class. So, I don't have to have, I don't have to like boy, I sure hope he go to class. I sure hope he go to study hall. I sure hope he does condition that guy's already done that. Yeah. Yeah. If I'm paying you, I ain't paying to look here. Ain't no on the job training. No, Joe. No. You come. You got to come ready. Experience, hey, when I got my job application, experience required. Yes. Don't you bring your ass on here, think somebody going to teach you what to do and get a, okay, I teach you what to do, but you're going to be on our salary. You damn sure not going to be salary. Hey, look, the one thing you all know is, you know, it take a while, even, even the top freshmen, it take them a while to understand how to compete at the highest level. How to, how to play defense, how to play the right way. Hey, bro, it ain't just about you. You know what I mean? Like we got guys who've been in college three, four years already. You know what I mean? Yep. So it's a learning curve for a lot of these young cats and man, it's going to be fun to watch. I'm looking forward to see what Mike Malone, you know, pull out his hat as far as who he going to get out this portal, what kind of guys he going to bring in, what type of system he going to run and what it's going to be like. But if you look what Arizona coach and the Michigan coach or a lot of these coaches says I'm not interested because I mean, it used to be if this job opened up 10, 15 years ago, every coach would have been interested in it. Yeah. Matter of fact, that ain't the case now. No, that ain't the case now. As a matter of fact, if they probably would have kept it in the family too. Yes. I just think now, like, like I said before, would it be in a professional sport? You want a guy who's proven who you know that, you know, these cats going to respect. That's what it was about. Yeah. And you look at, because the coaches now they're looking at, hold on, I can go build a program with the portal. I can go build something like Signati and become the second highest paid coach and make it almost $12, $13 million a year. I don't have to go to one of these blue buds because you know what other schools pay money to now. There you go. You got famous alumni. You got Mark Cuban who went to Indiana. Yeah. Yeah. So you got these guys like, okay, this, hey, if you guys want to compete with the big dogs, this is what it's going to take. And everybody loves a winner. Nobody has a problem spending money as long as we're winning. When the winning stops, the funds dry up. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Hey, and it's been reported that, you know, his daughter played Mike Malone daughter played volleyball at North Carolina too. Yes. She on the volleyball team. It's a win-win for him. Yep. You know what I mean? So, man, this is... Well, now I got to take off scholarship. Your daddy coach here, he can pay for your way. So I get somebody else that's... Yeah. Yeah. But that's normal. What happens anyway. You know, you got a kid, your son or your daughter is a student there. Your dad is a coach. Hey, he probably take it though. I say that tongue in cheek. Let me start because everybody goes, man, you hear what Shatter Shop saying? He said that North Carolina should revoke Mike Malone's daughter and he should have to pay for it out of his pocket. I said that tongue in cheek. Ah. Again, the Michigan Wolverines taking the lead. Michigan Wolverines take down the Yukon Huskies, 69-63. Michigan wins the program's first national championship in 89 and becomes the first team to beat Yukon in the sweet 16 a later since 2009. Dusty May wins it all in only a second year as Michigan head coach. Just a fifth head coach in NCAA history to become a champion within his first two seasons at a school. Joe, you picked Michigan. Last night you felt they were going to win this ball game. They put three guys in double figures. Neither team shot the ball well from the floor. Neither team shot the well from three. It was an outstanding defensive game. A lot of challenges, a lot of block shots, a lot of some steals. How did Michigan, how was Michigan able to overcome because we know Yukon is proven, especially in moments like this? Man, Michigan is a great defensive team. Okay, old Joe. And they showed it tonight. Big Mara down there in the paint. He gave Reeve problems tonight. Reeve was averaging a double, double, like 20 and 11, something like that. It's just the length that he possessed. Obviously his offensive paralysis that he has and he's a great pick and roll. Michigan got a, they got good bigs. They got great bigs and they got good point guard play tonight from Elliot, which I thought, that's what got him over the hump. I thought Elliot being aggressive, getting in the paint, getting in the teeth of their defense, Carl's a Havis, keeping guys in foul trouble and throwing lives to the big fellas. Look, neither team shot great tonight. It was an ugly game, old Joe. I ain't gonna lie, it was an ugly game. But the defense that Michigan played, man, they scored easy buckets off of, you know, their defense thriving and getting out in transition, getting easy baskets. And they got guys who've been there. I think this is a great win for Michigan, considering the fact that I think all these guys, all the starting five come out to transfer a portal. Okay, old Joe. Yeah, these guys ain't been to Michigan. This was their first year. So kudos to the coach, man, for getting these guys together and playing championship basketball. It was fun to watch, but this was a defensive game tonight. Yeah, I think Joe, I think, and old Joe, I'm gonna turn it over to you. I think we can both agree, I think everybody agreed that both of these teams play outstanding defense. They get up until you, they contest shots, nothing is easy. You're gonna get contested at the rim because if you think you're gonna get layups, you got another thing coming. And I think that had a lot to do with the one, UConn shooting 31%, Michigan shooting 38% from the floor, Michigan shooting 13% from the three, UConn shooting 27% from the three. And I think they have a lot to do because there are not a whole lot of open looks. And even layups were getting contested. I thought the ref did a great job of letting them play also, old Joe. Go ahead, old Joe. Now we're gonna say the refs did a great job of letting them play. Obviously, like Joe said, it was a very, very ugly game. Neither team shot the ball well. Neither team shot the ball well, Joe, but defensively. Defensively, UConn played defense well, Michigan played defense well, but when points needed to be had at the time, they needed to be made. Yeah. Michigan came on the winning end. Towards the end of the game, I thought UConn might get that UConn magic again and somehow come back and maybe make it a little bit closer, maybe have an opportunity to win. But Michigan held on towards the end. I mean, it was an enjoyable game for me. Watching it, it was kind of ugly, but it was exciting. I guess if you're a basketball purist, especially a college basketball purist, this is the game that you could enjoy. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with y'all. I never thought UConn was gonna win the game. You know, from the second half, I just thought Michigan experienced that they have a lot of juniors and seniors. They had one freshman come off the bench, which was McKinney. But for the most part, man, they controlled the whole game. Okay, old Joe, they got what they wanted. They wanted to get in the paint and make a play. They did it. They crashed the glass. I just thought collectively, you know, everybody stepped up. They're best player, Lindbergh. He didn't play great, but he played great enough for him to win. You know what I mean? He had 13 points. He had 13 points. Yeah, due to the injury that he's dealing with, the HCL for him to come out and play. Like if this was regular season, he probably would have set out. So probably. You know, they showed a lot of toughness tonight, man. I mean, this was a great win for them. Shout out to Michigan. And shout out to Connecticut as well, man. I thought they came ready to play, but for the most part, Michigan just was too overwhelming for him. The thing that started concerning me, Ocho and Joe is that Yukon started crashing the glass in the second half. They started getting second chance points. And I'm like, damn, Michigan, y'all right there. You got three guys right there. And somehow the ball, Yukon guy has the ball and he lays it back in. So I started to get a little concerned about the second chance points as Yukon started to get those offensive rebounds. But, and again, they had this nine point lead. The next thing you know, it's a four point lead. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm not throwing this. Oh my God. Yeah. And if you know this, Michigan had a guy deep. Guys like, I ain't throwing that ball. Damn, y'all tied me up. Y'all get a foul, but I am not throwing this ball. I learned my lesson last time. The last thing I would do is to have that thing till. He had two guys back there. He did. I ain't throwing this ball. He did. And the funny thing is he had just missed two free throws. He did. Yeah. So for him not to throw it, I was like, wow, for him to hold that ball and get fouled and I'm like, I probably would have got up off that day. I just made two. If I just missed two free throws, there ain't a lot of kids who going to want to go back to the line. No, no, you're absolutely right about that. And then that's our bare heads up, Fletcher, very in he got the rebound at the end and threw it down and say, by the time y'all hustle this down, the clock going to be over. So don't worry about it. Don't waste your time trying to bring it back up. But this was, this was, this is what we expected to see. I'm glad we saw this. I was like, man, please don't let us see what we saw yesterday in the women's game where we got a UCLA, South Carolina, we got to blow out. I said, that's the last thing that we need to see. And so I was glad that we're able to see a very intense, very well played. The officials had no bearing on the ball game because you always worry about that people having a, well, the official call this call and you see a file here and everybody's slowing it down. I thought the game was officiated very well. Yeah, I did. The game was officiated very well. I thought he let the kids determine the outcome of the ball game. And in the game of this magnitude, that's all you could ask for. Let the combatants on the field determine the outcome of the game. Now I understand that there's sometimes they're going to be a file. They're going to be things and you got to call it. Cause a lot of times, don't you, you and I were on there when we had the, the, the Kansas city Eagles game and Bradford held him. And they, I'm like Bradford is in the locker room telling y'all. Yeah, I held him. I was hoping they wouldn't call it though. Oh no, he, he said it. The official, even the referee came out in the pool. He said, Hey, the guy went in and as juju was trying to uncover back, he tugged his jersey in the back judge saw, he saw it. Yeah. Called it. So I, I, I like this, you know, sometimes calls have to be made in crucial junctures of the game. Yeah. And everybody's like, well, swallow your whistle, but you can't swallow. It's too important. You can't. That was too obvious, too egregious of a play to swallow it. But in this game right here, I thought he, they let the kids play and, and, and Michigan kids played a little bit better than you can't. I agree. I agree. I like that the fishers let those guys play. It was a physical game. A lot of missed shots, which calls for a lot of, you know, bodies falling, hitting the ground. I'm glad, I'm glad the rest kept a composure man. And really, it really didn't dictate the game. I agree with you. It was a, it was a great game to watch, man. And if you think about it, if you think about it guys, uh, Michigan was extremely aggressive. They shot 28 free throw attempts. Yeah. And they, they, they cashed, they was 25 or 23. So prior to the guy missing two, Joe, they had only missed one free throw. Yeah. You see guys five or five, eight, two for two, eight or nine, four for four, four for four, two for four. So you were getting, that's what you, that's what, when the clock is stopped, I got to cash it into these. Yeah. I got to get those, I got to get those points. Yeah. And Michigan did an unbelievable job. Congratulations to the Wolverines. Uh, London Berg said, Hey, we think we're the best team. I think they got a case. He showed a very compelling case. Yeah. To say they're the greatest Michigan team, um, that came through the University of Michigan. I understand the first team one, uh, Lloyd Vaught, Neman and Glenn Rice and Terry Mills, uh, Sean Higgins, Ramil Robinson, but what this team was able to do, uh, 37 and three and who they beat along the way. Yeah. Number one Michigan, they beat, excuse me, they beat number one, Arizona, they beat, uh, Yukon who had won two of the three last national championships. They were just unbelievable throughout the turning and, uh, a very, a very hard fought win that they earned. And they are your national championship. The University of Michigan, rain supreme of men's college basketball, 69, 63 over the Yukon Huskies. The Huskies was going to try to do something that only coach Wooden can say he's done. Yeah. That's when three championships in four years. My baby coach, Rup done it in the eight, in the forties, but no modern coach. When you look at, uh, when you look at coach K, you look at coach Smith and Roy Williams and Bobby Knight, and there've been some really, really good college coaches along the way, Billy Donovan. None of these guys could have said they won three championships in a four year span. And, uh, Michigan took down a very, a very, uh, uh, uh, Haiti team. They're led by, you know, a bunch of seniors. Mm hmm. They do a, uh, uh, coach early does a great job of coaching these guys. They laid their well condition. They trap, they, they, they get up into people, but tonight belong, belong to the Michigan Wolverines. Hey, hey, hey, check this stat out, Joe. Michigan scored 61 or the other 69 points either in the paint or from the free throw line. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, Joe, was that Michigan team, right? With most of those players coming out the portal, coming from other schools. Who do you see that might I'm in any lottery picks in there? What would you think? Uh, that could make a difference at the next level. Yeah, they got, they got, I don't know if they're going to be lottery picks. Oh, Joe, but they got some first rounders in here. Me and like, I think Vindenburg probably be a lot late. Yeah. Uh, Mara at seven three, you can't teach. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey look this this this game though I ain't gonna lie it was an ugly game because because for Michigan to shoot 13 percent from the 3 and 38 percent from the field. Mm-hmm man it's hard to win games like that but when you when you sitting in that chair you shot blocking you defending and you making the game ugly and you con shot 32 percent 28 from 3.
