UConn Women’s Head Basketball Coach Geno Auriemma’s apology rings hollow to Dan because South Carolina’s coach Dawn Staley isn’t mentioned at all. Former NBA and UConn basketball star Ray Allen joins Dan and discusses how the Huskies can attempt to bring down Michigan in the title games, his own memories playing at UConn and how basketball mentality has changed – also don’t make fun of his t-shirt.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two on.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This Monday gangs all here, best and worst of the weekend.
What you saw that you liked, you didn't like? Yukon
grad Ray Allen will join us coming up in a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Got roughed up on social media because his T shirt
was too tight that he was wearing raised in great shape.
I don't know if anybody could be real critical of
Ray Allen with the tight T shirt. The Minister of Humor,
Fritzie is here. Seaton, Marv, Paulie Seaton and Marv Yukon
fans pulling for Yukon tonight, Todd, you're pulling for.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm pulling for Michigan. O.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Just to mix things up a little bit, not that
Michigan hasn't had a share of winning in their storied franchise.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Holliw what about you?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You got?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay? That was the poll question from our one Who
you rooting for? Seatan? Would you update the results from
our one?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
An right now, Dan Nation as it were about fifty
six percent rooting for Michigan.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Pretty close. Okay, yeah, fine with that. I did wonder
when did we go from nine to twenty eastern to
eight fifty. I was told eight point fifty was started
last year. So then I checked with my college basketball source.
I said why. He says teams involved in the game
are typically typically Eastern in Central time zones. Thus it's
(01:25):
made sense to move the championship game earlier. Also, the
games were running long, you want to kind of time
it out, getting into local programming as well, and the
viewership of staying up that late on a school night.
But the national title game Yukon is a six and
a half point underdog. Now, I was curious about the
(01:47):
over under because, as I mentioned, if it's a sixty
three possession game, if that's the total or it's under that,
Michigan is vulnerable. That's proven this year sixty three sixty
two possessions total, Michigan is vulnerable. The over under for
tonight's game from DraftKings is one forty four and a half.
(02:14):
If you can keep it in the sixties, Connecticut will win.
I think if it gets into mid to upper seventies
or low eighties, it feels like this is Michigan's game
eight seven to seven to three DP show email address
Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at Dpshow, congratulations that was
an oh, by the way, national championship for UCLA only
(02:36):
because the spotlight was on Connecticut and South Carolina, in
particular the two coaches. But hey, Ucla, that was no fluke.
They dominated dominated South Carolina, and it certainly felt like
South Carolina was playing its national title game against Connecticut.
Auburn won the NIT. How about a round of applause
(02:58):
for Armor calls that, Adam, would you rather win the
NT or a play in or first round game in
March madness? So you make the tournament and you play
on like a Tuesday or Wednesday night. You win that game,
but then you lose your next game Seaton.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Uh well, I was actually wondering where the Crown is
and all of that. There's another tournament called the Crown
Tournaments in there. Yes, Now there's a third tier tournament
or is that the second tier in NIT has moved down? Now?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well didn't there used to be a CBI. Yeah they
took the year off, Oh they did. Yeah, Okay, we'll
be okay though, right, So you can win the NIT
or you could win your first round play in game?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yes, time think I want to be in the regular tournament.
No one's really thinking about the NIT. You want to
see your name on the brackets, even if it's an
early exit. I'm in the dance, you know, as opposed
to any other bake one.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, the money aspect of that, I don't know what
you get to for win the NIT. The NIT was
the original tournament, yes it was that used to be
the big one. But you're winning. You're getting a couple
of million dollars for that first win in March madness.
I don't know what you get for the NIT except
for a round of applause of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Yes, Marvin, I do like the fact that they play
the NIT final at the Hoosiers field House.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I can't think of the name of it. Hankel Hankel.
Love that part. But as far as the NIT, now
you can have it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Good morning if you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming
partner of the NBC Sports Network, or listening on our
radio affiliates around the country. By the way, I got
college basketball title odds for next year. The team that
is favored to win it all next year college basketball
Marvin Duke, Yes, why'd you take all the suspensea just.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
The way they run things they're going to reload.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Florida is second, followed by Arizona, Michigan State, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, Houston, Arkansas,
and Connecticut. I'm sure Dan Hurley loves that. It's like, okay, see,
you know, play for a national championship tonight. And I
talked to Iron Eagle be on the call tonight for TBS. See,
I thought, for some reason, I'm thinking CBS. Yeah, but
(05:18):
it's TBS. But it's been that way for a little while.
Just in my mind, I keep thinking it's CBS. Wouldn't
you get a bigger number on CBS than TBS. It's
like if you have a game on ESPN or you
have a game on ABC college football, But I don't know.
(05:39):
I'm sure my college basketball source will text me on that.
We did invite Geno orim on don Staley just to
see if they wanted to talk about this. Gino did
issue a statement and apologizing. I wish that he would
have mentioned Don Staley's name, because he didn't, and that's
(06:02):
a glaring omission. Whoever is helping him write this curate this.
You got to put in don Stally in there. You
do just pr wise but he didn't. You know, I
apologize basically to South Carolina, the staff, the players, but
that was that was a bad moment, bad moment, and
(06:25):
that's where you're winning fifty four consecutive games and all
of a sudden you realize you're not better than South
Carolina that night. And I think that's where what he
said and how he said it was out of frustration,
maybe desperation. You were not going to beat South Carolina
because that was a great, great team effort, and then
(06:47):
all of a sudden people forgot about Ucla. Well, if
you beat Connecticut, you're going to beat UCLA. And Lauren
Betts that team, that's a veteran team, and they played
really well. They dominated all right.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Pull.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Question for hour two is gonna be on Seaton. No counter.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
We got two up there right now, four hour two,
Hold please tonight's game. Michigan rolls. Michigan wins the tight one.
Yukon rolls, Yukon wins the tight one. That's from Todd.
Here's another one from Todd two. Expanding the NCAA tournament
further beyond sixty eight teams is greedy and unnecessary, fantastic
(07:27):
more teams or it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I'm watching. Yeah, they got us. I mean, who cares
if they add eight more teams, It doesn't matter. It's
Tuesday and Wednesday. This is what we've talked about all
year long. They're going to do it. They're just going
to extend that opening round and you're gonna have, you know,
four more games. Nobody's gonna complain about that, and then
(07:50):
you're gonna get your bracket and then you're gonna be
fine because you don't fill out your bracket with the
other teams and you got sixty four and you're ready
to go.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is it greed? You could say all of college you know,
football and basketball is greed, certainly football. And yes, it's
all about money. Yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
It was twenty eleven when the nca tournament expanded with
the first four, and there's a lot of blowback, but
they almost stumbled into something. They're able to expand the
tournament without changing the tournament. Yeah, they still have sixty four.
Your bracket still looks the same. They're still one versus sixteen,
and they found like a loophole to add teams without
(08:30):
changing it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Let's got a couple of phone calls in here, Buddha
in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha. Best and worst of
the weekend.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
Still in France, DP, speaking of Chainsmokers, Happy Monday boys.
I got a couple of bars for you, GP. I
heard you in hour one. I'm going going back to
back to Cali, Cali. Last day here and I'm not
gonna lie. I'm in the Missis three pm. Call in Dan,
I'm not gonna lie. It's been nice, but I digress.
Best of the weekend, and I hesitate to bring this up,
(09:02):
but uh, Michigan putting the SmackDown on Arizona in a
fantastic fashion. I mean, I feel like Arizona and Goa
and Zagar are like the serial bracketbusters, like the Chargers
of the college basketball world. And I hope, I hope
Yukon took note. It's Marvin, That's all I got to say.
And worst of the weekend, Dan, my banged up Lakers
as a whole. And I mean to bring this up,
(09:23):
I mean, did you watch Bronny this weekend? Run the point?
Speaker 11 (09:26):
I mean it was, it was wild.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
He looked at about as comfortable as you know. Fritzie
getting out of the sausage costume in Milwaukee like, I mean,
he was getting mugged up the court. I mean it
leaves me really questioning why mac McClung doesn't have it.
He doesn't have one spot on an NBA bench anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Thank you Buddha, Safe travels back. Yeah, I'm watching. I
mean the Lakers are cooked.
Speaker 11 (09:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You got Reeves who's out for the rest of the
regular season with an oblique He got Luca going to
Europe for some kind of treatment, probably also to see
his with his estranged girlfriend or fiance. Who knows when
he's coming back. Let's see. I've been informed that TBS
(10:11):
gets the Final Four every other year. Turner paid the
majority of the money in the media agreement. The original
agreement with Turner and CBS was done. Now that Paramount
is likely to own Warner Brothers Turner, it'll be interesting
to see if they move it to CBS for the
balance of the agreement. Forgot all about that that big
(10:33):
merger that they had. Chris and Syracuse. Good morning, Chris,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (10:40):
Thanks Dan? I got a best to comment a possible
Vegas name. My best Michigan playing for a national title tonight,
and I know if Michigan wins tonight, it'll be the
first time in twenty six years since a Big Ten
school won a men's national title in basketball. And I
wonder if, ever the Big Ten to one national titles
in both men and women's in the same year. And
(11:02):
hard to believe if you're playing the career salary game
in the NFL, the answer to who is number two
is Kirk Cousins. Unreal if that's true. He may not
be the best quarterback of all time, but he's arguably
the best businessman of all time. And Dan, I have
a Las Vegas name to throw in the hopper, and
(11:23):
hard to believe, Dan, but I'll shock it. It's from
one of my favorite movies to Las Vegas Rounders.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay, all right, well, Matt Damon have him show up.
That'd be nice ed Norton, you get them? Ryan in Detroit, Hi, Ryan,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (11:43):
Thanks for calling me back?
Speaker 13 (11:44):
Dan, yep, I got a best and a worst, and
then a poll question suggestion worst is Gina or Emma.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That was bad?
Speaker 13 (11:53):
My best. I'm actually squeezing this into the weekend. Is
Hian Eagle's rap about the robot delivery that that was incredible.
And then my poll question is which Bill rafferty slogan
is the best? Is it onions with a kiss or
(12:14):
lingerie on the deck?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I like onions onions, Yes, I always like that. I
saw one of those robots when we were in San
Francisco in our hotel and at night they were plugged
in late at night, well actually early morning because we
were getting up really early to do the show for
the Super Bowl I'm sorry, the Big Game, and they
(12:39):
were plugged in into a like together in a wall outlet,
and I saw one of them come up. So I'm
on the elevator and I'm on with one of those
little robots, and I realized that there are two floors,
and I know that he doesn't get out or she
doesn't get out when she's supposed to or it's supposed to.
(13:02):
It do I have to have pronouns for the robot
there look underneath like it I could. I didn't know
the robot that much that well it and I realized
that it didn't get off the floor and it got
off late and it banged into the door, and like
I felt bad for the robot, but I'm like, dude,
(13:23):
you better get out of here. I don't know if
he can hear or you know they can hear me.
And it banged into the door and I thought, uh oh,
so I was going up to my floor and then
the robot was still on. I don't know what happened
on the way back down. Yeah, Todd, I saw.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Went in la crossing the street and it got stuck
in a puddle and it was just kind of going
in circles. So I didn't know if I should like
get involved somehow and just kind of move it on
its way and help it cross the street as these
people wait for their food to maybe never get delivered.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Matt easy, three piece, get your hands off me, Todd,
creep Matt and rivers side. Then we'll take a break.
Ray Allen said to join us.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
I'm hey, how's going? Happy Monday to you? And the
boys got a best and worst? Best is seeing Manchester
City kind of kick Liverpool out of the FA Cup
for nil, and then also see Arsenal crash out. Worst
of the weekend a R I Z O and A
my Wildcats looks like zombies on Saturday. But I'm gonna
(14:24):
go ahead and blame the basketball play basketball court and
also playing in the stadium. Can we just get away
from that? And also the Winner Classic being in baseball
stadium kind of takes the lore of fans being close
up to the court.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, but it's not going away with these big, big stadiums.
They want that revenue. But thank you, Matt, thank you. Yeah,
they want seventy two thousand in there.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Yes, Marvin, I was looking at the prices for bad
seats in the stadium, four hundred, five hundred dollars for
section six hundred.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Ye.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
It's like, as a fan of one of those two teams,
you just don't want to say you were there and
you'll eat the bad game experience.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. Best
and Worst of the Weekend Ray Allen, Connecticut fan alum.
He was there yesterday over the weekend. So we'll talk
to Ray and we'll give you our best and worst
of the weekend coming up right after this.

proposed tournament structure, which appears likely to be the final plan,

(16:22):
Yukon has now covered seventeen of its last eighteen tournament
games and goes into tonight's game is a six and
a half point underdog. Former Yukon great Hall of Famer
Ray Allen joining us from Indianapolis. How nervous are you?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
My nervousness existed when we played Michigan State because you're
playing an Izzo squad that always comes prepared. So back
then I was nervous, I guess because Duke was not
the best team in the country. I started that game thinking,
you know, we play our best and we have a
change ants and so I wasn't nervous then. And it's
(17:03):
those those games that get through slip through the cracks,
like we lost to Creighton and Marquette during the year
and I was like, okay, we we dropped the bomb
there in those two games. So it's really always been
about how Yukon plays for me, and if they come
playing in a full cylinder, it's hard for anybody to
beat them.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
But also I mentioned Michigan wants this game in the eighties.
Connecticut probably needs this game to be in the sixties.
How does Connecticut do that?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Well, it's interesting because there's a there's a if you
watch Michigan, they get the ball out of net and
they run. That has typically been historically how Yukon has
always played.
Speaker 11 (17:42):
We've been an up tempo, fastbreak type of team.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
If you watch the game against Illinois, whenever we have
those scoring droughts, the three balls not falling and say
Terrace Reid hasn't really scorn. But what you also notice
is when we do get stopped, because defensively we've been solid.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
We never pushed the ball up the floor.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
We're playing against the five man set defense every single time,
and it makes it more difficult, especially when at this
time of the year in the tournament, when you got
really good defensive teams. They're gonna take what Terris Reed
is doing away from us. They're gonna trail caravan and
make sure they get a hand in his face. So
we in a sense, we have to be able to
kind of engage in that fast, break up tempo game
(18:26):
with Michigan in the same token beat them at their
own game.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Wow, Because I remember Indiana did that against UNLV when
Steve Alford was playing, and everybody said, oh, Indiana can't
run with UNLV, but Indiana ran with UNLV ended up
winning the title. Does Yukon of have the talent to
run this and play a game in the eighties go
(18:50):
toe to toe that way with Michigan.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Yeah, And remember we don't have to be a better
team to Michigan. We just have to be better than tonight.
So it's it's really about kind of meeting them toe
for toe. So when they get the ball in it
and they run, don't then slow the game down and
then come up and set up a set, because I
do think we have such an interesting offensive movement where
(19:18):
the ball is you figure the way it's transferring from
one side to the next side to the next side,
and you know, you can make the case that you
know so much movement that you know you're how many
guys can shoot in that quick of a motion from
three point line to be so consistent, so to be
(19:38):
able to get that scoring opportunity and transition off a rebound,
that's some of the best times to get three pointers,
you know, on transition where somebody drives it to the
hole and then kicks it out to a standstill shooter.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
If I said there was an alumni game prior to
the national title, I know where this is going. So
I got Michigan versus you on all the alumn who
are at the game tonight. So I got fab Five's there?
Who wins an alumni game?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Are we talking about just the guys that are somewhat
in intendans? Are we talking about historical so the best
we produced.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Just those who are there?
Speaker 7 (20:15):
Oh now we're talking about East player.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
In their prime?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
No, no, right now, oh, right now, right now, We'll
get them because uh well, I mean you have to
say you know, all the five five are older than me,
so so now I would I would be a sacrificial
lamb because you know, we'll negate ourselves because we're older,
(20:39):
we're in our fifties. But then you you got a
Mecca Oka four there, you got Shabbaz Nap you're there.
You got Rope Ryan Boat right there, you got uh
Kimba Walker there. So you're talking about guys that could
still play potentially really in the NBA right now?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, all right, uh what do you see? Now? Let
me take you back to you stayed three years at Connecticut. Yeah, okay,
but given today's NBA, you probably would leave after a year.
Like Braylen Mullins to me, I don't know if he
stays because he'll be projected to be a first round
pick in today's NBA. You know, you got these guys
(21:18):
who want to get into that second contract and like
you know Reed Shepherd with Houston, he wasn't ready. But
then they give you a couple of years to develop.
So do you see that kind of as the scenario
with Mullins, that you're one and done even though you
may not be ready for the NBA.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Yeah, because college there's so much instability on that team
the next year. That's why when Caravan came back, I
was excited for him. And you know, one would say,
I don't know where his draft stock is, but the
fact that he's playing in another national championship, you're good
on him and congratulations because he's one of now the
winningest players all time in college. I don't know where
(21:58):
he ranks, but he's up there with with some of
the best. So it's hard to make that discernment from
who was actually going to be on your team next
year because the transport portal opens up I think tomorrow,
So what's going to be available, Who's going to leave teams?
And so now Bragland has to make that decision based
on what his squad may look like next year. And
(22:20):
obviously we always say now with these head coaches, you
got to recruit your own team back, you know, figure
out what you're going to be building for next year.
So Braglan definitely has to take that into consideration. I do, personally,
I think that, you know, after my sophomore year was
you know, I'd scored thirty six in the turn becauset
UCLA the eventual national championship in ninety six or ninety five,
(22:43):
and everybody there was blurbs and me leaving, and it
was a different time then, and I was like, no,
I need to come back to really kind of poke
my chest out a little bit and kind of prove that,
you know, I'm wanted the better, if not the best
player in college, which I was able to do so
after my junior year. Is no way I was making
to my seat year. So I think Braylan's depending on
the circle that's around him and and his ability to
(23:06):
kind of think through this process and and bet on himself.
It does depend on that tremendously. It does depend on
the family life. It depends on his relationship with with
coach Hurley, how strong that is, and you know, his
ability to come back and say, hey, I think I
could be even better player and get drafted top five
if not number one next year.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Talking to Ray Allen, Hall of Famer, you, Conna Lum
played three seasons for the Huskies. How would you have
done with Danny Hurley's style of coaching?
Speaker 11 (23:35):
I love his his style of coaching. He's similar to Calhoun.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
You know, he he rides hard for his players, he
stays on him.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
He coaches you hard. We're we're in a We're in
an era of basketball that I've seen. You know, I
coached in high school. If you say anything negative to
the players, and the kids assume that you don't like them,
and then the parents have said you emails and they're
having conversations with the athletic director and trying to find
a way to, you know, put their thumb on you.
(24:07):
And you know, with with with Hurley, coaches come to
him and the parents say, and I heard this with
Braylan's dad. I needed somebody to coach Braylan hard because
he's going to get the best out of him. And
guys that want that they come to Yukon. I wanted it,
you know Calhoun. I saw Calhoun the first couple of
practices and his coaching staff, and I saw how hard
(24:28):
he went and how ferocious he was as a coach
of practice, and I said, remind me not to do
that thing that that player did. You know, And it's
it's very easy to pay attention. If you hold yourself
accountable and you just work as hard you can't, you
have nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Help me understand the T shirt that you got roughed
up on social media for.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
The T shirt. Yeah what T shirt?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
They said that you were wearing a tight T shirt.
Speaker 11 (24:55):
Me.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Yeah, oh that's just my muscles. My muscles was you know,
you know, I'm putting on packing on the muscles I've
been lifting. So if somebody had something to say about
my T shirt, they were just oh.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Wow, okay, yeah yeah, I mean, what are you fifty?
Speaker 11 (25:12):
I'm fifty. Yeah, I'm fifty, and uh.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think it's time to get rid of the tight
T shirts. I mean, I'm just I don't.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Wear tight T shirts. I just wear shirts. Shit, I
know that I like feeling comfortable in.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
So if somebody else deems them tight, that's those people's
in securities.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh okay, that's my insecurity then.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
See, because you're right now, that hoodie got on looks
like it's a double to a triple lection large.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
We can get you in something little smaller.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Are you wearing that Yukon sweatshirt tonight?
Speaker 11 (25:38):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Not this?
Speaker 7 (25:39):
When I have something else something. See, when you come
to the final four. Here's the thing about Final four.
You needed a hoodie that says GDP on it the
Great Damn Pass. But when you come to the final four.
First of all, a week before nobody knows who's going
to be here. You know, it just kind of happens.
So you pack, you know, with the optimism of I'm
(26:01):
gonna be here for four days, and they get you
to the hotels because you have to get a hotel
for four days.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
You can't just buy it from one or two.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
So I either if we lose on Saturday, I overpacked,
and then being here still to today you have to
figure out, Okay, did I pack enough?
Speaker 11 (26:17):
So you kind of have to kind of run it
back a little bit here and there.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
What was tough for facing Iverson in college or in
the NBA.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Both, you know, there wasn't really a difference. And John Thompson,
you know, let Iverson go. He let them play his game.
And you know all those guys, you know, Bubakar ale Othella,
the different supporting cast he had going to the Sixers
(26:48):
with Aaron McKee and Eric Snow Like, all those guys
knew who Allen Iverson was and they catered their offense
to him. So it was hard on both levels to
stop Hill because he knew exactly who he was and
he played his game similar at both levels, and obviously
when he got to the NBA, you know, they built
(27:09):
teams around him again and we were trying to figure
out I think I got really adept at understanding who
he was, you know, his moves because I played a
lot against him in playout Basket Bustle. Statistically, I knew
where scoring zones were, you know, the moves he wanted
to make. But it's still was hard to stay in
front of him because he was so small that he
get in gaps and you know, he moved up and
(27:29):
down the floor and there wasn't a shot that he
didn't like, or for that matter, that he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Make it that, or that he couldn't take. You're right, Yeah,
I keep seeing these stories now about how dirty John
Stockton was. Like guys are reminiscing about facing Stockton and
whether it's Gary Payton or Baron Davis, and was Stockton
dirty to you?
Speaker 11 (27:54):
Well, he stocked on was.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Is always my example to the young people when I say,
if you look at John Stockton, you asked what physical
attributes did he possess that you would look at and
say this guy is a beast.
Speaker 11 (28:10):
The thing that I learned from Stockton is he did
the simple thing over and over again.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Out of ten passes, one might be behind the back pass.
He set the hardest screens, and I think to what
people would be alluding to with him, as he would
when he set the cross screen on for Carl Malan
and that he would pass the ball and he cut
across the lane.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
He set the.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Screen, and he did two things really well. One obviously
he set the screen really well, but occasionally he would
grab your jersey then hold you, or if you try
to run him over, then he'd fall and then you
would get the.
Speaker 11 (28:47):
Foul. So he was really a depth at playing the game.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
And because he was small, nobody expected him or thought
that he could overpower you or athletically beat you. But
he played the game smartly, and so he's a great
example of the lesson for young people that you don't
have to have this highly skilled physical ability to be
an all star, be one of the all time greats,
and he's certainly example of that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
How does it play out tonight, Ray.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Well, I mean there's a couple of different scenarios for
you kind of think that we have to make sure
that we have a good start and we can't have
those little scoring droughts throughout the game because Michigan is
not going to give us any reprieve. So if you
see Caravan score early, get to the free throw line,
(29:38):
get to the whole same thing with solo ball, then
it's going to be a close game and it's going
to be a tough night for Michigan. But if we
start early and it's like a seven zero nine zero
game where we're not scoring their attacking, then we're going
to be on our heels all night, which we still
are capable of staying with the game, as we've seen
against Duke.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Will you run out on the floor a few kN wins.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
I'll walk.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I think in those moments, I tried my best to
stay out of the way because this is obviously it's
not about me, But in those times when history tells
the story, to be able to say that I was there,
to other players that passed played at Yukon, at won championships,
to be on that floor, it speaks to the legacy
(30:23):
of the program, and so from that aspect, it's important
for me to be out there just to show the
future generation kids that come to Yukon, like this is
a brotherhood that you want to be a part of.
So if you work hard, this is the place that
you want to be have fun tonight. Thanks for joining.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
I will GDP.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, GDP, the great damn Patra. Thank you, Ray Ray
all right, that's Ray Allen you khon U can score
Hall of Famer. Yes, Mark, so you're the notorious GDP.
I think that cats whatever I'm going to go with here,
I'm just dropping bars here.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Yes, Paul I love race response like people are good
on his snug shirt all weekend. If you're fifty and
look like that, you wear tight shirts.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
By the way, we have some great shirts DP show logo,
segue hoodies. We even got some mediums in there. If
you want to wear a tight T shirt, they're available
at Danpatrick dot com. They look gorgeous. We still have
the huge your Daddy T shirt from the Olympics up
there as well. All right, well, take a break. We
will give you our best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Right after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports
talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows
at foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app
search FSR to listen live. For those of you.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Who think Dan Hurley is intense, you didn't see Jim Calhoun,
because you'll get people who were there, played for or fan.
Jim Calhoun was more intense than Dan Hurley, believe it
or not. But you didn't have social media back then.
But Jim Calhoun he could surprise you a little bit.
(32:01):
But he get talking so fast, and he had that
accent and you couldn't understand what he was saying. He
probably avoided fifty technicals in his career because the official
had no idea what he was saying. He'd get talking
so fast and he would have you know that New
England Irish brogue or whatever it was, and be like,
I don't know what he said. Sounded mad, let's see.
(32:23):
Oh you know, I love the sound of sports. That's
why I got into radio. I love the sounds. Here
is a sound that, well, it's different than any other sound.
Speaker 14 (32:36):
Sure, this one is drill center field. Forget about it.
Show hey, old Tony with a missile in DC gives
them the first lead.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I love it just because I grew up listening to
sports on radio, certainly baseball on radio, and there's certain
sounds that you could have, well that's a hit or
that pop up. Oh, that's a home run and if
you're just sitting there as a little kid ten years
of age, listening on transistor radio, and all of a
(33:11):
sudden you hear this this one. Yeah, it's like dad,
Johnny Benches Homer sounds. All right, let's go around the room,
see what we learned. Are your best and worst of
the weekend? What did you learn this weekend? Todd? Was
(33:33):
your best and worst?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
My best?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
In what nine time Gold Glove winner and Angel Special
Assistant to the GM Tory Hunter called probably the greatest
defensive game I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Halo's right fielder Joe Adell made three.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Home run robin catches against the Mariners on Saturday night.
That was fantastic and worst of the weekend. Also Saturday night,
the much anticipated Final four game between Michigan and Arizona
not much of a contest. Disappointed that Arizona couldn't keep
pace with the Wolverines.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Uh seatan best worst of the weekend?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Yeah, my best of the weekend was as much as
I hate to say, at Michigan. They looked like an
absolute force. My worst of the weekend. TV analysts who
said that was supposed to be the real national title
game because that was not even close.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Guy Fieri will win the Celebrity Bracket Challenge if Michigan
wins tonight. Marvin will win. If Connecticut wins the National Championship.
Mm hmm. Frank Caliendo is in first place, but he
had Duke winning Ross Tucker in second place. He had Arizona,
Guy Fieri and me a Guy has Michigan. I had
(34:34):
Arizona Fritzy in fifth place. He had Duke and Marvin
sixth place with Connecticut. Good luck to all of you. Marvin.
Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
My best of the weekend the Michigan Fab five, the
altcast during the Michigan Arizona game.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
They were great.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Chris Webber unbelievable stories. He's always great. Worst of the weekend.
Billy Donovan leave the Bulls now because they lost to
the Knicks by forty points over the weekend and they've
lost seven straight games. No time like the President to
go to North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I know, but he's been terrible in the NBA right
correct average at best and done anything. Now, maybe this
was never his element. Maybe he is a college coach,
but he hadn't done anything that stood out.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Yes, morph so this means Christian Layner should really be
in the Basketball Hall of Fame because he had a
great college career, average NBA career. Billy Donnov is already
in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 11 (35:36):
Is he he is? Good? Point?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Well, they put the coaches in. I don't understand that
coaches can go in without any You know, Skrzyzewsky didn't
have anything with the NBA. Behim nothing with the NBA
is oh, nothing with the NBA. But I mean they
can be one dimensional and go into the Basketball Hall
of Fame. Paul Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9 (35:57):
You sell a basketball as they say, a c your
leaden team. I love that phrase. It's hyphenated. Great job
by ucail at basketball dominating this season. And then the
other best having Steph Curry back. You really missed that
guy and to see his highlights. They never changed the shots.
You can't believe.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Speaking of shots, Bill Simmons was taking a shot at
some podcaster who was trying to was he trying to
compare Lebron and Steph and saying Steph was better than
Lebron with his career and then Bill Simmons called him
a blankhead and basically said, this is the greatest moment
(36:36):
of your life that I'm responding to you that, how
can you make that? What? Marvin?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Lebron versus Steph?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I'm not sure. I haven't heard about this.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, I saw something on social media. I'm like Facebook, No, no,
this well, yeah, you know, I love Facebook. Spent most
of the weekend on Facebook looking for corduroys. They were
arguing about corduroy patterns.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
Yah, fat stripes versus Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
I know.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Yeah, it is the greatest moment of your life, me
talking to quarters about you.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That's why I like Ruffles. You know, potato chips. You
know they got the ridges. It's like it's kind of
like corduroys that you can eat. That's what Ruffles potato chips.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
That Bill Simmons is like Gino Ariama moment where he
should have been more gracious in the conversation.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
But now people are like, man, yeah, Paully.
Speaker 9 (37:22):
There was a segment Bill Simmons was doing about great
players but that were never considered the best player in
the league at any point in their career. He named
a bunch and Steph Curry was one of them, and
some people were mad that he said Steph Curry was
never considered the best player in the league.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
But I thought he was responding to somebody's podcast, Yeah,
maybe in the Bay Area, and called him a bleephead.
How dare you say that Steph is better than Lebron?
Maybe I don't think I'm making it up.
Speaker 9 (37:53):
No, I'm reading it. Just there's language here I can't
give you.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, but is he is he singling out some podcast.
Speaker 9 (38:00):
A guy named Tommy Gunn NBA Bill Simmons responded to them,
and uh, he said, check out your own career, et cetera,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But is Tommy Gunn saying Steph is better than Lebron
or was better than Lebron?
Speaker 9 (38:16):
He's calling out Bill Simmons for saying that, at no
point in his career with Steph Curry the best player
in basket even his MVP year.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
A unanimous m vap Okay, people got a lot of
time on their hands. You know, It's like, I mean,
I'm sorry, I got other things to do. I can't
You don't seek out these battles or make up a
(38:44):
battle here or feud an argument and then call out
somebody like that. Uh, Timmy in South Carolina? Hi, Timmy,
how you doing good. Timgree.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
Yes, there's a film for South Carolina one sixty eight,
A steady one sixty eight. Damn all right, right, I
just had a quick name for the Vegas team. I
don't know how everybody missed it, but simple Las Vegas Lights.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
The Vegas Lights. That's not bad at all, Timmy. Yeah, see,
so that's.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
A great idea for Timmy. Unfortunately, there's a USL Championship
team named the Las Vegas Lights. So what I would
encourage that there's a soccer team already called the Las
Vegas Lights. I would encourage the new NBA franchise to
buy the naming rights from that team, help fund them
into the for the next ten years with those naming rights,
and have them come up with a.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
New team that would be a win win. That would
be a win win.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
That would be my suggestion.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Yeah, all right, we can all win here. Everybody can win.
There's enough for everybody. Yes, right, the Vegas Lights. I
got a big lights show to start. Maybe some sound
of it, maybe some smoke.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
All I know is the Golden That is a pregame,
that is a welcome to Golden Knights hockey in Vegas. Yes, Todd.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I don't know if we've mentioned this.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Can't they be the Spears and play their games inside
the big globe there and make that the arena and
it's big enough to have a basketball court.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
I think spheares are tough to say. Is it spear?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
You've got the ass on top of another SV severe
severe pH involve it's a pH spear, but it's sphere.
There's a severest chance that you're not gonna be able
to pronounce than you
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Two hours in the books on this Monday, We're going
to try to rally do something meaningful in the final
hour of the program right after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two on.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This Monday gangs all here, best and worst of the weekend.
What you saw that you liked, you didn't like? Yukon
grad Ray Allen will join us coming up in a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Got roughed up on social media because his T shirt
was too tight that he was wearing raised in great shape.
I don't know if anybody could be real critical of
Ray Allen with the tight T shirt. The Minister of Humor,
Fritzie is here. Seaton, Marv, Paulie Seaton and Marv Yukon
fans pulling for Yukon tonight, Todd, you're pulling for.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm pulling for Michigan. O.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Just to mix things up a little bit, not that
Michigan hasn't had a share of winning in their storied franchise.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Holliw what about you?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You got?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay? That was the poll question from our one Who
you rooting for? Seatan? Would you update the results from
our one?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
An right now, Dan Nation as it were about fifty
six percent rooting for Michigan.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Pretty close. Okay, yeah, fine with that. I did wonder
when did we go from nine to twenty eastern to
eight fifty. I was told eight point fifty was started
last year. So then I checked with my college basketball source.
I said why. He says teams involved in the game
are typically typically Eastern in Central time zones. Thus it's
(01:25):
made sense to move the championship game earlier. Also, the
games were running long, you want to kind of time
it out, getting into local programming as well, and the
viewership of staying up that late on a school night.
But the national title game Yukon is a six and
a half point underdog. Now, I was curious about the
(01:47):
over under because, as I mentioned, if it's a sixty
three possession game, if that's the total or it's under that,
Michigan is vulnerable. That's proven this year sixty three sixty
two possessions total, Michigan is vulnerable. The over under for
tonight's game from DraftKings is one forty four and a half.
(02:14):
If you can keep it in the sixties, Connecticut will win.
I think if it gets into mid to upper seventies
or low eighties, it feels like this is Michigan's game
eight seven to seven to three DP show email address
Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at Dpshow, congratulations that was
an oh, by the way, national championship for UCLA only
(02:36):
because the spotlight was on Connecticut and South Carolina, in
particular the two coaches. But hey, Ucla, that was no fluke.
They dominated dominated South Carolina, and it certainly felt like
South Carolina was playing its national title game against Connecticut.
Auburn won the NIT. How about a round of applause
(02:58):
for Armor calls that, Adam, would you rather win the
NT or a play in or first round game in
March madness? So you make the tournament and you play
on like a Tuesday or Wednesday night. You win that game,
but then you lose your next game Seaton.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Uh well, I was actually wondering where the Crown is
and all of that. There's another tournament called the Crown
Tournaments in there. Yes, Now there's a third tier tournament
or is that the second tier in NIT has moved down? Now?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well didn't there used to be a CBI. Yeah they
took the year off, Oh they did. Yeah, Okay, we'll
be okay though, right, So you can win the NIT
or you could win your first round play in game?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yes, time think I want to be in the regular tournament.
No one's really thinking about the NIT. You want to
see your name on the brackets, even if it's an
early exit. I'm in the dance, you know, as opposed
to any other bake one.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, the money aspect of that, I don't know what
you get to for win the NIT. The NIT was
the original tournament, yes it was that used to be
the big one. But you're winning. You're getting a couple
of million dollars for that first win in March madness.
I don't know what you get for the NIT except
for a round of applause of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Yes, Marvin, I do like the fact that they play
the NIT final at the Hoosiers field House.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I can't think of the name of it. Hankel Hankel.
Love that part. But as far as the NIT, now
you can have it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Good morning if you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming
partner of the NBC Sports Network, or listening on our
radio affiliates around the country. By the way, I got
college basketball title odds for next year. The team that
is favored to win it all next year college basketball
Marvin Duke, Yes, why'd you take all the suspensea just.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
The way they run things they're going to reload.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Florida is second, followed by Arizona, Michigan State, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, Houston, Arkansas,
and Connecticut. I'm sure Dan Hurley loves that. It's like, okay, see,
you know, play for a national championship tonight. And I
talked to Iron Eagle be on the call tonight for TBS. See,
I thought, for some reason, I'm thinking CBS. Yeah, but
(05:18):
it's TBS. But it's been that way for a little while.
Just in my mind, I keep thinking it's CBS. Wouldn't
you get a bigger number on CBS than TBS. It's
like if you have a game on ESPN or you
have a game on ABC college football, But I don't know.
(05:39):
I'm sure my college basketball source will text me on that.
We did invite Geno orim on don Staley just to
see if they wanted to talk about this. Gino did
issue a statement and apologizing. I wish that he would
have mentioned Don Staley's name, because he didn't, and that's
(06:02):
a glaring omission. Whoever is helping him write this curate this.
You got to put in don Stally in there. You
do just pr wise but he didn't. You know, I
apologize basically to South Carolina, the staff, the players, but
that was that was a bad moment, bad moment, and
(06:25):
that's where you're winning fifty four consecutive games and all
of a sudden you realize you're not better than South
Carolina that night. And I think that's where what he
said and how he said it was out of frustration,
maybe desperation. You were not going to beat South Carolina
because that was a great, great team effort, and then
(06:47):
all of a sudden people forgot about Ucla. Well, if
you beat Connecticut, you're going to beat UCLA. And Lauren
Betts that team, that's a veteran team, and they played
really well. They dominated all right.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Pull.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Question for hour two is gonna be on Seaton. No counter.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
We got two up there right now, four hour two,
Hold please tonight's game. Michigan rolls. Michigan wins the tight one.
Yukon rolls, Yukon wins the tight one. That's from Todd.
Here's another one from Todd two. Expanding the NCAA tournament
further beyond sixty eight teams is greedy and unnecessary, fantastic
(07:27):
more teams or it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I'm watching. Yeah, they got us. I mean, who cares
if they add eight more teams, It doesn't matter. It's
Tuesday and Wednesday. This is what we've talked about all
year long. They're going to do it. They're just going
to extend that opening round and you're gonna have, you know,
four more games. Nobody's gonna complain about that, and then
(07:50):
you're gonna get your bracket and then you're gonna be
fine because you don't fill out your bracket with the
other teams and you got sixty four and you're ready
to go.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is it greed? You could say all of college you know,
football and basketball is greed, certainly football. And yes, it's
all about money. Yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
It was twenty eleven when the nca tournament expanded with
the first four, and there's a lot of blowback, but
they almost stumbled into something. They're able to expand the
tournament without changing the tournament. Yeah, they still have sixty four.
Your bracket still looks the same. They're still one versus sixteen,
and they found like a loophole to add teams without
(08:30):
changing it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Let's got a couple of phone calls in here, Buddha
in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha. Best and worst of
the weekend.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
Still in France, DP, speaking of Chainsmokers, Happy Monday boys.
I got a couple of bars for you, GP. I
heard you in hour one. I'm going going back to
back to Cali, Cali. Last day here and I'm not
gonna lie. I'm in the Missis three pm. Call in Dan,
I'm not gonna lie. It's been nice, but I digress.
Best of the weekend, and I hesitate to bring this up,
(09:02):
but uh, Michigan putting the SmackDown on Arizona in a
fantastic fashion. I mean, I feel like Arizona and Goa
and Zagar are like the serial bracketbusters, like the Chargers
of the college basketball world. And I hope, I hope
Yukon took note. It's Marvin, That's all I got to say.
And worst of the weekend, Dan, my banged up Lakers
as a whole. And I mean to bring this up,
(09:23):
I mean, did you watch Bronny this weekend? Run the point?
Speaker 11 (09:26):
I mean it was, it was wild.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
He looked at about as comfortable as you know. Fritzie
getting out of the sausage costume in Milwaukee like, I mean,
he was getting mugged up the court. I mean it
leaves me really questioning why mac McClung doesn't have it.
He doesn't have one spot on an NBA bench anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Thank you Buddha, Safe travels back. Yeah, I'm watching. I
mean the Lakers are cooked.
Speaker 11 (09:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You got Reeves who's out for the rest of the
regular season with an oblique He got Luca going to
Europe for some kind of treatment, probably also to see
his with his estranged girlfriend or fiance. Who knows when
he's coming back. Let's see. I've been informed that TBS
(10:11):
gets the Final Four every other year. Turner paid the
majority of the money in the media agreement. The original
agreement with Turner and CBS was done. Now that Paramount
is likely to own Warner Brothers Turner, it'll be interesting
to see if they move it to CBS for the
balance of the agreement. Forgot all about that that big
(10:33):
merger that they had. Chris and Syracuse. Good morning, Chris,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (10:40):
Thanks Dan? I got a best to comment a possible
Vegas name. My best Michigan playing for a national title tonight,
and I know if Michigan wins tonight, it'll be the
first time in twenty six years since a Big Ten
school won a men's national title in basketball. And I
wonder if, ever the Big Ten to one national titles
in both men and women's in the same year. And
(11:02):
hard to believe if you're playing the career salary game
in the NFL, the answer to who is number two
is Kirk Cousins. Unreal if that's true. He may not
be the best quarterback of all time, but he's arguably
the best businessman of all time. And Dan, I have
a Las Vegas name to throw in the hopper, and
(11:23):
hard to believe, Dan, but I'll shock it. It's from
one of my favorite movies to Las Vegas Rounders.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay, all right, well, Matt Damon have him show up.
That'd be nice ed Norton, you get them? Ryan in Detroit, Hi, Ryan,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (11:43):
Thanks for calling me back?
Speaker 13 (11:44):
Dan, yep, I got a best and a worst, and
then a poll question suggestion worst is Gina or Emma.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That was bad?
Speaker 13 (11:53):
My best. I'm actually squeezing this into the weekend. Is
Hian Eagle's rap about the robot delivery that that was incredible.
And then my poll question is which Bill rafferty slogan
is the best? Is it onions with a kiss or
(12:14):
lingerie on the deck?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I like onions onions, Yes, I always like that. I
saw one of those robots when we were in San
Francisco in our hotel and at night they were plugged
in late at night, well actually early morning because we
were getting up really early to do the show for
the Super Bowl I'm sorry, the Big Game, and they
(12:39):
were plugged in into a like together in a wall outlet,
and I saw one of them come up. So I'm
on the elevator and I'm on with one of those
little robots, and I realized that there are two floors,
and I know that he doesn't get out or she
doesn't get out when she's supposed to or it's supposed to.
(13:02):
It do I have to have pronouns for the robot
there look underneath like it I could. I didn't know
the robot that much that well it and I realized
that it didn't get off the floor and it got
off late and it banged into the door, and like
I felt bad for the robot, but I'm like, dude,
(13:23):
you better get out of here. I don't know if
he can hear or you know they can hear me.
And it banged into the door and I thought, uh oh,
so I was going up to my floor and then
the robot was still on. I don't know what happened
on the way back down. Yeah, Todd, I saw.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Went in la crossing the street and it got stuck
in a puddle and it was just kind of going
in circles. So I didn't know if I should like
get involved somehow and just kind of move it on
its way and help it cross the street as these
people wait for their food to maybe never get delivered.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Matt easy, three piece, get your hands off me, Todd,
creep Matt and rivers side. Then we'll take a break.
Ray Allen said to join us.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
I'm hey, how's going? Happy Monday to you? And the
boys got a best and worst? Best is seeing Manchester
City kind of kick Liverpool out of the FA Cup
for nil, and then also see Arsenal crash out. Worst
of the weekend a R I Z O and A
my Wildcats looks like zombies on Saturday. But I'm gonna
(14:24):
go ahead and blame the basketball play basketball court and
also playing in the stadium. Can we just get away
from that? And also the Winner Classic being in baseball
stadium kind of takes the lore of fans being close
up to the court.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, but it's not going away with these big, big stadiums.
They want that revenue. But thank you, Matt, thank you. Yeah,
they want seventy two thousand in there.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Yes, Marvin, I was looking at the prices for bad
seats in the stadium, four hundred, five hundred dollars for
section six hundred.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Ye.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
It's like, as a fan of one of those two teams,
you just don't want to say you were there and
you'll eat the bad game experience.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. Best
and Worst of the Weekend Ray Allen, Connecticut fan alum.
He was there yesterday over the weekend. So we'll talk
to Ray and we'll give you our best and worst
of the weekend coming up right after this.

proposed tournament structure, which appears likely to be the final plan,
is seventy six teams from what I'm told, and we'll
be announced later this month and in effect for the
men's and women's tournaments coming up next year. By the way,
(16:22):
Yukon has now covered seventeen of its last eighteen tournament
games and goes into tonight's game is a six and
a half point underdog. Former Yukon great Hall of Famer
Ray Allen joining us from Indianapolis. How nervous are you?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
My nervousness existed when we played Michigan State because you're
playing an Izzo squad that always comes prepared. So back
then I was nervous, I guess because Duke was not
the best team in the country. I started that game thinking,
you know, we play our best and we have a
change ants and so I wasn't nervous then. And it's
(17:03):
those those games that get through slip through the cracks,
like we lost to Creighton and Marquette during the year
and I was like, okay, we we dropped the bomb
there in those two games. So it's really always been
about how Yukon plays for me, and if they come
playing in a full cylinder, it's hard for anybody to
beat them.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
But also I mentioned Michigan wants this game in the eighties.
Connecticut probably needs this game to be in the sixties.
How does Connecticut do that?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Well, it's interesting because there's a there's a if you
watch Michigan, they get the ball out of net and
they run. That has typically been historically how Yukon has
always played.
Speaker 11 (17:42):
We've been an up tempo, fastbreak type of team.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
If you watch the game against Illinois, whenever we have
those scoring droughts, the three balls not falling and say
Terrace Reid hasn't really scorn. But what you also notice
is when we do get stopped, because defensively we've been solid.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
We never pushed the ball up the floor.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
We're playing against the five man set defense every single time,
and it makes it more difficult, especially when at this
time of the year in the tournament, when you got
really good defensive teams. They're gonna take what Terris Reed
is doing away from us. They're gonna trail caravan and
make sure they get a hand in his face. So
we in a sense, we have to be able to
kind of engage in that fast, break up tempo game
(18:26):
with Michigan in the same token beat them at their
own game.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Wow, Because I remember Indiana did that against UNLV when
Steve Alford was playing, and everybody said, oh, Indiana can't
run with UNLV, but Indiana ran with UNLV ended up
winning the title. Does Yukon of have the talent to
run this and play a game in the eighties go
(18:50):
toe to toe that way with Michigan.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Yeah, And remember we don't have to be a better
team to Michigan. We just have to be better than tonight.
So it's it's really about kind of meeting them toe
for toe. So when they get the ball in it
and they run, don't then slow the game down and
then come up and set up a set, because I
do think we have such an interesting offensive movement where
(19:18):
the ball is you figure the way it's transferring from
one side to the next side to the next side,
and you know, you can make the case that you
know so much movement that you know you're how many
guys can shoot in that quick of a motion from
three point line to be so consistent, so to be
(19:38):
able to get that scoring opportunity and transition off a rebound,
that's some of the best times to get three pointers,
you know, on transition where somebody drives it to the
hole and then kicks it out to a standstill shooter.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
If I said there was an alumni game prior to
the national title, I know where this is going. So
I got Michigan versus you on all the alumn who
are at the game tonight. So I got fab Five's there?
Who wins an alumni game?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Are we talking about just the guys that are somewhat
in intendans? Are we talking about historical so the best
we produced.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Just those who are there?
Speaker 7 (20:15):
Oh now we're talking about East player.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
In their prime?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
No, no, right now, oh, right now, right now, We'll
get them because uh well, I mean you have to
say you know, all the five five are older than me,
so so now I would I would be a sacrificial
lamb because you know, we'll negate ourselves because we're older,
(20:39):
we're in our fifties. But then you you got a
Mecca Oka four there, you got Shabbaz Nap you're there.
You got Rope Ryan Boat right there, you got uh
Kimba Walker there. So you're talking about guys that could
still play potentially really in the NBA right now?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, all right, uh what do you see? Now? Let
me take you back to you stayed three years at Connecticut. Yeah, okay,
but given today's NBA, you probably would leave after a year.
Like Braylen Mullins to me, I don't know if he
stays because he'll be projected to be a first round
pick in today's NBA. You know, you got these guys
(21:18):
who want to get into that second contract and like
you know Reed Shepherd with Houston, he wasn't ready. But
then they give you a couple of years to develop.
So do you see that kind of as the scenario
with Mullins, that you're one and done even though you
may not be ready for the NBA.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Yeah, because college there's so much instability on that team
the next year. That's why when Caravan came back, I
was excited for him. And you know, one would say,
I don't know where his draft stock is, but the
fact that he's playing in another national championship, you're good
on him and congratulations because he's one of now the
winningest players all time in college. I don't know where
(21:58):
he ranks, but he's up there with with some of
the best. So it's hard to make that discernment from
who was actually going to be on your team next
year because the transport portal opens up I think tomorrow,
So what's going to be available, Who's going to leave teams?
And so now Bragland has to make that decision based
on what his squad may look like next year. And
(22:20):
obviously we always say now with these head coaches, you
got to recruit your own team back, you know, figure
out what you're going to be building for next year.
So Braglan definitely has to take that into consideration. I do, personally,
I think that, you know, after my sophomore year was
you know, I'd scored thirty six in the turn becauset
UCLA the eventual national championship in ninety six or ninety five,
(22:43):
and everybody there was blurbs and me leaving, and it
was a different time then, and I was like, no,
I need to come back to really kind of poke
my chest out a little bit and kind of prove that,
you know, I'm wanted the better, if not the best
player in college, which I was able to do so
after my junior year. Is no way I was making
to my seat year. So I think Braylan's depending on
the circle that's around him and and his ability to
(23:06):
kind of think through this process and and bet on himself.
It does depend on that tremendously. It does depend on
the family life. It depends on his relationship with with
coach Hurley, how strong that is, and you know, his
ability to come back and say, hey, I think I
could be even better player and get drafted top five
if not number one next year.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Talking to Ray Allen, Hall of Famer, you, Conna Lum
played three seasons for the Huskies. How would you have
done with Danny Hurley's style of coaching?
Speaker 11 (23:35):
I love his his style of coaching. He's similar to Calhoun.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
You know, he he rides hard for his players, he
stays on him.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
He coaches you hard. We're we're in a We're in
an era of basketball that I've seen. You know, I
coached in high school. If you say anything negative to
the players, and the kids assume that you don't like them,
and then the parents have said you emails and they're
having conversations with the athletic director and trying to find
a way to, you know, put their thumb on you.
(24:07):
And you know, with with with Hurley, coaches come to
him and the parents say, and I heard this with
Braylan's dad. I needed somebody to coach Braylan hard because
he's going to get the best out of him. And
guys that want that they come to Yukon. I wanted it,
you know Calhoun. I saw Calhoun the first couple of
practices and his coaching staff, and I saw how hard
(24:28):
he went and how ferocious he was as a coach
of practice, and I said, remind me not to do
that thing that that player did. You know, And it's
it's very easy to pay attention. If you hold yourself
accountable and you just work as hard you can't, you
have nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Help me understand the T shirt that you got roughed
up on social media for.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
The T shirt. Yeah what T shirt?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
They said that you were wearing a tight T shirt.
Speaker 11 (24:55):
Me.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Yeah, oh that's just my muscles. My muscles was you know,
you know, I'm putting on packing on the muscles I've
been lifting. So if somebody had something to say about
my T shirt, they were just oh.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Wow, okay, yeah yeah, I mean, what are you fifty?
Speaker 11 (25:12):
I'm fifty. Yeah, I'm fifty, and uh.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think it's time to get rid of the tight
T shirts. I mean, I'm just I don't.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Wear tight T shirts. I just wear shirts. Shit, I
know that I like feeling comfortable in.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
So if somebody else deems them tight, that's those people's
in securities.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh okay, that's my insecurity then.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
See, because you're right now, that hoodie got on looks
like it's a double to a triple lection large.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
We can get you in something little smaller.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Are you wearing that Yukon sweatshirt tonight?
Speaker 11 (25:38):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Not this?
Speaker 7 (25:39):
When I have something else something. See, when you come
to the final four. Here's the thing about Final four.
You needed a hoodie that says GDP on it the
Great Damn Pass. But when you come to the final four.
First of all, a week before nobody knows who's going
to be here. You know, it just kind of happens.
So you pack, you know, with the optimism of I'm
(26:01):
gonna be here for four days, and they get you
to the hotels because you have to get a hotel
for four days.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
You can't just buy it from one or two.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
So I either if we lose on Saturday, I overpacked,
and then being here still to today you have to
figure out, Okay, did I pack enough?
Speaker 11 (26:17):
So you kind of have to kind of run it
back a little bit here and there.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
What was tough for facing Iverson in college or in
the NBA.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Both, you know, there wasn't really a difference. And John Thompson,
you know, let Iverson go. He let them play his game.
And you know all those guys, you know, Bubakar ale Othella,
the different supporting cast he had going to the Sixers
(26:48):
with Aaron McKee and Eric Snow Like, all those guys
knew who Allen Iverson was and they catered their offense
to him. So it was hard on both levels to
stop Hill because he knew exactly who he was and
he played his game similar at both levels, and obviously
when he got to the NBA, you know, they built
(27:09):
teams around him again and we were trying to figure
out I think I got really adept at understanding who
he was, you know, his moves because I played a
lot against him in playout Basket Bustle. Statistically, I knew
where scoring zones were, you know, the moves he wanted
to make. But it's still was hard to stay in
front of him because he was so small that he
get in gaps and you know, he moved up and
(27:29):
down the floor and there wasn't a shot that he
didn't like, or for that matter, that he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Make it that, or that he couldn't take. You're right, Yeah,
I keep seeing these stories now about how dirty John
Stockton was. Like guys are reminiscing about facing Stockton and
whether it's Gary Payton or Baron Davis, and was Stockton
dirty to you?
Speaker 11 (27:54):
Well, he stocked on was.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Is always my example to the young people when I say,
if you look at John Stockton, you asked what physical
attributes did he possess that you would look at and
say this guy is a beast.
Speaker 11 (28:10):
The thing that I learned from Stockton is he did
the simple thing over and over again.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Out of ten passes, one might be behind the back pass.
He set the hardest screens, and I think to what
people would be alluding to with him, as he would
when he set the cross screen on for Carl Malan
and that he would pass the ball and he cut
across the lane.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
He set the.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Screen, and he did two things really well. One obviously
he set the screen really well, but occasionally he would
grab your jersey then hold you, or if you try
to run him over, then he'd fall and then you
would get the.
Speaker 11 (28:47):
Foul. So he was really a depth at playing the game.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
And because he was small, nobody expected him or thought
that he could overpower you or athletically beat you. But
he played the game smartly, and so he's a great
example of the lesson for young people that you don't
have to have this highly skilled physical ability to be
an all star, be one of the all time greats,
and he's certainly example of that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
How does it play out tonight, Ray.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Well, I mean there's a couple of different scenarios for
you kind of think that we have to make sure
that we have a good start and we can't have
those little scoring droughts throughout the game because Michigan is
not going to give us any reprieve. So if you
see Caravan score early, get to the free throw line,
(29:38):
get to the whole same thing with solo ball, then
it's going to be a close game and it's going
to be a tough night for Michigan. But if we
start early and it's like a seven zero nine zero
game where we're not scoring their attacking, then we're going
to be on our heels all night, which we still
are capable of staying with the game, as we've seen
against Duke.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Will you run out on the floor a few kN wins.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
I'll walk.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I think in those moments, I tried my best to
stay out of the way because this is obviously it's
not about me, But in those times when history tells
the story, to be able to say that I was there,
to other players that passed played at Yukon, at won championships,
to be on that floor, it speaks to the legacy
(30:23):
of the program, and so from that aspect, it's important
for me to be out there just to show the
future generation kids that come to Yukon, like this is
a brotherhood that you want to be a part of.
So if you work hard, this is the place that
you want to be have fun tonight. Thanks for joining.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
I will GDP.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, GDP, the great damn Patra. Thank you, Ray Ray
all right, that's Ray Allen you khon U can score
Hall of Famer. Yes, Mark, so you're the notorious GDP.
I think that cats whatever I'm going to go with here,
I'm just dropping bars here.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Yes, Paul I love race response like people are good
on his snug shirt all weekend. If you're fifty and
look like that, you wear tight shirts.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
By the way, we have some great shirts DP show logo,
segue hoodies. We even got some mediums in there. If
you want to wear a tight T shirt, they're available
at Danpatrick dot com. They look gorgeous. We still have
the huge your Daddy T shirt from the Olympics up
there as well. All right, well, take a break. We
will give you our best and worst of the weekend.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Who think Dan Hurley is intense, you didn't see Jim Calhoun,
because you'll get people who were there, played for or fan.
Jim Calhoun was more intense than Dan Hurley, believe it
or not. But you didn't have social media back then.
But Jim Calhoun he could surprise you a little bit.
(32:01):
But he get talking so fast, and he had that
accent and you couldn't understand what he was saying. He
probably avoided fifty technicals in his career because the official
had no idea what he was saying. He'd get talking
so fast and he would have you know that New
England Irish brogue or whatever it was, and be like,
I don't know what he said. Sounded mad, let's see.
(32:23):
Oh you know, I love the sound of sports. That's
why I got into radio. I love the sounds. Here
is a sound that, well, it's different than any other sound.
Speaker 14 (32:36):
Sure, this one is drill center field. Forget about it.
Show hey, old Tony with a missile in DC gives
them the first lead.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I love it just because I grew up listening to
sports on radio, certainly baseball on radio, and there's certain
sounds that you could have, well that's a hit or
that pop up. Oh, that's a home run and if
you're just sitting there as a little kid ten years
of age, listening on transistor radio, and all of a
(33:11):
sudden you hear this this one. Yeah, it's like dad,
Johnny Benches Homer sounds. All right, let's go around the room,
see what we learned. Are your best and worst of
the weekend? What did you learn this weekend? Todd? Was
(33:33):
your best and worst?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
My best?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
In what nine time Gold Glove winner and Angel Special
Assistant to the GM Tory Hunter called probably the greatest
defensive game I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Halo's right fielder Joe Adell made three.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Home run robin catches against the Mariners on Saturday night.
That was fantastic and worst of the weekend. Also Saturday night,
the much anticipated Final four game between Michigan and Arizona
not much of a contest. Disappointed that Arizona couldn't keep
pace with the Wolverines.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Uh seatan best worst of the weekend?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Yeah, my best of the weekend was as much as
I hate to say, at Michigan. They looked like an
absolute force. My worst of the weekend. TV analysts who
said that was supposed to be the real national title
game because that was not even close.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Guy Fieri will win the Celebrity Bracket Challenge if Michigan
wins tonight. Marvin will win. If Connecticut wins the National Championship.
Mm hmm. Frank Caliendo is in first place, but he
had Duke winning Ross Tucker in second place. He had Arizona,
Guy Fieri and me a Guy has Michigan. I had
(34:34):
Arizona Fritzy in fifth place. He had Duke and Marvin
sixth place with Connecticut. Good luck to all of you. Marvin.
Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
My best of the weekend the Michigan Fab five, the
altcast during the Michigan Arizona game.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
They were great.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Chris Webber unbelievable stories. He's always great. Worst of the weekend.
Billy Donovan leave the Bulls now because they lost to
the Knicks by forty points over the weekend and they've
lost seven straight games. No time like the President to
go to North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I know, but he's been terrible in the NBA right
correct average at best and done anything. Now, maybe this
was never his element. Maybe he is a college coach,
but he hadn't done anything that stood out.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Yes, morph so this means Christian Layner should really be
in the Basketball Hall of Fame because he had a
great college career, average NBA career. Billy Donnov is already
in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 11 (35:36):
Is he he is? Good? Point?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Well, they put the coaches in. I don't understand that
coaches can go in without any You know, Skrzyzewsky didn't
have anything with the NBA. Behim nothing with the NBA
is oh, nothing with the NBA. But I mean they
can be one dimensional and go into the Basketball Hall
of Fame. Paul Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9 (35:57):
You sell a basketball as they say, a c your
leaden team. I love that phrase. It's hyphenated. Great job
by ucail at basketball dominating this season. And then the
other best having Steph Curry back. You really missed that
guy and to see his highlights. They never changed the shots.
You can't believe.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Speaking of shots, Bill Simmons was taking a shot at
some podcaster who was trying to was he trying to
compare Lebron and Steph and saying Steph was better than
Lebron with his career and then Bill Simmons called him
a blankhead and basically said, this is the greatest moment
(36:36):
of your life that I'm responding to you that, how
can you make that? What? Marvin?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Lebron versus Steph?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I'm not sure. I haven't heard about this.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, I saw something on social media. I'm like Facebook, No, no,
this well, yeah, you know, I love Facebook. Spent most
of the weekend on Facebook looking for corduroys. They were
arguing about corduroy patterns.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
Yah, fat stripes versus Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
I know.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Yeah, it is the greatest moment of your life, me
talking to quarters about you.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That's why I like Ruffles. You know, potato chips. You
know they got the ridges. It's like it's kind of
like corduroys that you can eat. That's what Ruffles potato chips.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
That Bill Simmons is like Gino Ariama moment where he
should have been more gracious in the conversation.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
But now people are like, man, yeah, Paully.
Speaker 9 (37:22):
There was a segment Bill Simmons was doing about great
players but that were never considered the best player in
the league at any point in their career. He named
a bunch and Steph Curry was one of them, and
some people were mad that he said Steph Curry was
never considered the best player in the league.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
But I thought he was responding to somebody's podcast, Yeah,
maybe in the Bay Area, and called him a bleephead.
How dare you say that Steph is better than Lebron?
Maybe I don't think I'm making it up.
Speaker 9 (37:53):
No, I'm reading it. Just there's language here I can't
give you.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, but is he is he singling out some podcast.
Speaker 9 (38:00):
A guy named Tommy Gunn NBA Bill Simmons responded to them,
and uh, he said, check out your own career, et cetera,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But is Tommy Gunn saying Steph is better than Lebron
or was better than Lebron?
Speaker 9 (38:16):
He's calling out Bill Simmons for saying that, at no
point in his career with Steph Curry the best player
in basket even his MVP year.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
A unanimous m vap Okay, people got a lot of
time on their hands. You know, It's like, I mean,
I'm sorry, I got other things to do. I can't
You don't seek out these battles or make up a
(38:44):
battle here or feud an argument and then call out
somebody like that. Uh, Timmy in South Carolina? Hi, Timmy,
how you doing good. Timgree.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
Yes, there's a film for South Carolina one sixty eight,
A steady one sixty eight. Damn all right, right, I
just had a quick name for the Vegas team. I
don't know how everybody missed it, but simple Las Vegas Lights.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
The Vegas Lights. That's not bad at all, Timmy. Yeah, see,
so that's.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
A great idea for Timmy. Unfortunately, there's a USL Championship
team named the Las Vegas Lights. So what I would
encourage that there's a soccer team already called the Las
Vegas Lights. I would encourage the new NBA franchise to
buy the naming rights from that team, help fund them
into the for the next ten years with those naming rights,
and have them come up with a.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
New team that would be a win win. That would
be a win win.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
That would be my suggestion.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Yeah, all right, we can all win here. Everybody can win.
There's enough for everybody. Yes, right, the Vegas Lights. I
got a big lights show to start. Maybe some sound
of it, maybe some smoke.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
All I know is the Golden That is a pregame,
that is a welcome to Golden Knights hockey in Vegas. Yes, Todd.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I don't know if we've mentioned this.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Can't they be the Spears and play their games inside
the big globe there and make that the arena and
it's big enough to have a basketball court.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
I think spheares are tough to say. Is it spear?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
You've got the ass on top of another SV severe
severe pH involve it's a pH spear, but it's sphere.
There's a severest chance that you're not gonna be able
to pronounce than you
Speaker 2 (40:33):

hour of the program right after this
