We playing Brad Bill and Ben Backmore. Eybo find the four. I tweaked out Moog Demner just turned it over. Something simple. Coach Sean like, he said something simple, too, like Moog be bad or something like that. Oh, Moog lost it. It was crazy. Cut Sean now cuts the team out. Cuz then he took himself out, took his shoes off.
Mook
I'm done. I don't want to hoop no more.
Rayfield Davis
We was up 2. Up 10. Crazy. Could have changed my life.
Mook
You should have dropped his ranking right there. That sure right there.

Mooc
Nah.
Mook
Yeah. He the only person that make me that mad, though. That's crazy.
Rayfield Davis

I used to make him mad me to another level.
Rayfield Davis
Just calmest voice. It'd be best. Best to be like, leave him alone, Sean.
Mook
Yeah. Shout. My dog, bitch.
Mooc
Yeah, I quit in seventh grade.
Rayfield Davis
My favorite coach ever, man.
Mooc
Gentlemen, shout out to Pops, man.
Host (DJ Wills)
That's why we here, man. Oh, it's aau. A little bit different now since y' all played, man. I know obviously you followed the EYBL. We on 3 SSB. But is it different now?
Mook
Yeah, the kids all play their age now. They don't even play up no more.
Rayfield Davis
Yeah. Yeah. Cause I played up with y', all, and you played up with Deshawn. Now everybody. And then damn near then their kids is playing down. Like, you'll reclass play down, dominate that class, become the number one player in that class, and then reclass back up. And then once you reclass back up, they'd be like, he was number one player in that class. Cause we put him top 10 in this class. You know what I'm saying? Kids do that all the time. That's crazy. And then they go to college early, and then they don't pan out for it. For. Yeah, that happened all the time. That happened all the time. When you see a kid reclass down, if they pop, they gonna reclass back up.
Host (DJ Wills)
Now, I wonder, with nil, does that make a big difference now with that situation? Cause obviously now you kind of finessing your way to the top. Well, we see a Lot of people reclass now and they move early.
Rayfield Davis
You see you, bro. No, no right handed guy. No bullshit. It's gonna sound like I'm gassing, but it's a. It's a fourth grader in Fort Wayne that reclass back to fourth grade. No bullshit.
Mooc
Why?
Rayfield Davis
That's, that's. That's my point. You know what I'm saying? So it's happening though. It's happening because now the goal is. The goal ain't really like you ain't gotta get to the league. You get to college, it changed your life. Nah, fact parents do whatever. And now everybody can hoop, you know what I'm saying? The way the game is, you can make some threes, you can run off some screens. You ain't even got a guard, for real.
Mook
Damn.
Rayfield Davis
And now you got. You know what I'm saying? So now you can invest in it. It's a little different now. Yeah, you boy.
Mooc
Damn.
Host (DJ Wills)
The game is wicked, man. All right, man. Final four breakdown live and nap. This weekend, two Big Ten teams. Is it surprising you to see both these teams get here first, start off with Illinois and Yukon. For Illinois win this game, what they
Rayfield Davis
got to do, man, Rebound, rebound. Illinois biggest thing all season been was they tough enough because they offense been crazy all year. Like they have one offense in the country already made threes. But the only thing was them Euros was his soft like. And now you see in the tournament, the Houston game changed everything. Like they just punched Houston dead in the mouth. And then they go 3. Like they went like 3 for 23 for 17 from 3 versus Iowa and just dominate the glass. So if they could with that size, you know what I'm saying? Like they positional size is crazy because King Wagler 6:7, so Yakovic 6:7 then, you know what I mean? So if they can rebound, control the pace and then if they make some shots, it'd be a long night for UConn. For real. For real. Because they got enough bodies to deal with Terrence Reed, they got footers over there, multiples, you know what I'm saying? So I. That the glass. Really, that's what I would say.
Host (DJ Wills)
All right, man. Coach G, man, you a loot, man. New show on Patreon, tap in Mafia tier, man. Breaking down real basketball, real hoops, but you kind of get to D. What they got to do, man, they got to make shots.
Mooc
Okay, That's a big team right there, like he said. And they, they crashed the offensive. Offensive glass. One of the best in the country at it. UConn gonna have to get on the glass. And that not a real big team. They play more spread out ball with a lot of talented. And everybody can do a little bit of everything. Small ball four. They really gonna have to get on the glass. Illinois live on that offensive glass. And they did a great job against Michigan State crashing that glass. I mean, well, Michigan. Michigan State did a good job on UConn crashing the glass. Michigan State just couldn't make shots. Yeah.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah.
Mooc
So Illinois is making shots. Might be a long night for UConn, for real.
Rayfield Davis
And that's Illinois whole offense is predicated on making threes. Like if they. They haven't had a night in the. Like they had. They had nights where they get 14, 15, three. You get. You see some names on there like Ben Hunt, Rick House. You see like Jake Davis. They had games where they both will go 4 for 5 for 3.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
And they both been struggling. So that's what. That's what get me excited for Illinois. Cause they ain't shot at well the last three games they do for one.
Host (DJ Wills)
Okay.
Rayfield Davis
Yeah.
Host (DJ Wills)
Now be him. We ain't gonna go too far now. But if Dan Hurley go get another chip.
Mook
The greatest.
Host (DJ Wills)
What's up, Mooc?
Mook
He's the greatest, bro.
Host (DJ Wills)
I love.
Mook
They broke that down. But Yukon, you come by 10, baby. Got Yukon winning by 10 out the coach. Oh, Braylee gonna get 24 of my. My signed jersey will be here, you know, I mean here soon, man.
Host (DJ Wills)
You getting the merch now.
Mook
Yeah, you know, that makes sense. Yeah. They gonna have to shoot the ball good. But I got Illinois, bro. I think that side's gonna take over.
Rayfield Davis
Yeah.
Mook
Shout out to coach.
Mooc
Oh, go get you one, man.
Mook
That is your guy. That's my guy. That's your guy.
Host (DJ Wills)
Respect. All right, so you got you feeling, man. Who might get this first preliminary Final four game.
Mooc
I got Illinois. I want UConn to win, but I got Illinois. I just don't know if UConn gonna make enough shots. Duke. I had Duke winning this game. Obviously, UConn, the miracle happened, or whatever happened. I had Duke going to the championship. So I really didn't even prepare for this game like this, to be honest. But I got Illinois.
Host (DJ Wills)
Okay, we rolling. All right, man. Moving on, the second game, Michigan versus Arizona. Michigan.
Mook
This is Hoodie right here.
Host (DJ Wills)
One of the most dominant teams so far. What they gotta do to win this game, right, man.
Rayfield Davis
Show up, get on the court. I think like you said, UConn by 10. I think Michigan by 10.
Mook
Me too.
Rayfield Davis
I think you look at Michigan, you Look at everything Arizona want to do. Michigan do that and they better at it. And they four or five years older at it. And they, they. You will see teams like that like Purdue had the experience, like, you know, Final four experience. They had a talent necessarily size mission. Got old draft first three first rounders. And then they best player come off the bench, he a freshman. So. And then the difference in that game too. Like Arizona big as hell.
Mooc
Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
But they want to slow it down. They want to dominate the glass, you know what I'm saying? Michigan gets you in transition, it get nasty. And if they make some shots, oh, that'll get crazy. I got Michigan by.
Host (DJ Wills)
By a lot. Okay. They'll take for Arizona to get the dub. What they gotta do, man?
Mooc
Ah, it's gonna be tough. They're gonna have. It's a clash, right?
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah.
Mooc
He said they play two different styles. Arizona can score, they can get up and down, they can score a lot of points. Like obviously we've seen the last games and some of the games in the tournament, they didn't got up in the 90s. But Michigan just like a wheel oil machine, bro. This shit just look like they playing around, man. Like they out there celebrating. They beating people by 30 doing this and that's. And like you said, they got veteran players. Arizona start three freshmen.
Rayfield Davis
Exactly.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah.
Mooc
And I don't know if the stage, I mean they've been great all year. I don't know if the stage might get too bright. I feel like Michigan is poised and ready for this moment. I got Michigan winning, but I love freshmen. So I want to go. I want Arizona to win, but I got Michigan win.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah, I believe in you know what I'm saying? Conference player of the year Jayden Bradley, man, he show up in big moments as well. The game get close. Definitely close. Clutch as well. Cora Pete, you been saying calling his car. He been showing up the last two rounds. He definitely got a kill to be a factor in this game.
Mooc
But that's the thing. Thing they got.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah, they got the same.
Mooc
They got a counterpart.
Rayfield Davis
Mares Johnson, a name for it. Merez Johnson. 611, 241 5.
Mooc
You know what I mean?
Host (DJ Wills)
A say big may either like he.
Mooc
He.
Rayfield Davis
You know what I'm saying?
Host (DJ Wills)
He.
Rayfield Davis
250 like he. You can think about Michigan really. If you pull up their numbers. You pull up, you pull up like Mares Johnson and AD Mara. They been struggling through the tournament and they've been blowing people out. And them two of their three best players, them two of their first rounders that they've been struggling the last two games.
Mooc
It could get ugly for Arizona, but for some reason, man, I love the freshmans, man, like me.
Rayfield Davis
And then. I don't want to cut you, but like, Like, Like Braden Burris is cold. Like, he cold. But like, namari Burnett, like, 24. And Namari Burnett was McDonald's All American, too.
Mooc
Chicago kid.
Rayfield Davis
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like.
Mook
So it's sounding like you got Michigan all the way, right?
Rayfield Davis
Hey, I got Michigan. That's one of the best teams ever in college basketball, right?
Host (DJ Wills)
Hey, no, when Yindabo said that, they said he was squeaking. No, he was out of pocket.
Mooc
Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
Nah, no question. He. They got. I mean, they. This. This Big Ten season, you got. Listen, think about it. You got six Big Ten teams in the Sweet 16. You had four in the Elite Eight. You got two in the Final Four. They won the Big Ten by four games.
Mooc
Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
They went undefeated on the road in the Big Ten.
Mooc
That's fire.
Rayfield Davis
They the only team that ever do it.
Mook
They ain't your top five.
Rayfield Davis
Huh?
Mook
They ain't your top five teams?
Rayfield Davis
Yeah, I'm putting that.
Mook
They gotta win first, bro.
Rayfield Davis
Yeah, they gotta win, but I probably put the 05 North Carolina team in there. I probably go. One of them Indiana teams that went undefeated. I probably go,
Host (DJ Wills)
oh, that.
Rayfield Davis
That. That Kentucky team, 1996, I think. Yeah, that Kentucky team was crazy. I probably put.
Host (DJ Wills)
They want to see your Kentucky team move.
Rayfield Davis
I put Kentucky team in there. Yeah, for sure. I put them in there. That's Ford in Michigan.
Mooc
I have, like, six players.
Host (DJ Wills)
Like, they have my real first.
Mook
I can't even lie.
Host (DJ Wills)
Antoine Walker, now Tony Adele. Yeah, they had a squiddy for sure. Rbn. How you feeling?
Mook
Oh, no, man. Ray Demer saw me on Michigan. I ain't gonna lie. I got Michigan, though. Me, too.
Host (DJ Wills)
You going Michigan?
Mook
Yeah. He gonna have to get 30, bro. Yeah, you don't have to get 30. That's a tough task, bro.
Mooc
He might have caught a rhythm with that last game, man. 20 pieces, but I got him down for about six.
Mook
Oh, that's average, man.
Host (DJ Wills)
In honor of my guy, man. Mike, Baby Roll was on them, man. I can't believe they had underdogs, man. Only two losses. Like you said, this is monumental matchups, but I. I feel the vibes, man. I'm a rock with Zona. Man T. How you feeling, man?
Mooc
I got Michigan. My heart is with Arizona for some reason, but I got Michigan winning.
Host (DJ Wills)
Okay, I'm rolling. All right, man. Why we got you here, right, man, Listen, I appreciate your Twitter presence so much, man. Cause you be talking real and the people don't like it, but they ain't had none of your experiences or don't know what you talking about, man. Ihsaa. First of all, let's talk about this shot clock situation. We got Coach T, Coach Mooga here, they gotta get a cracking asap, man.
Rayfield Davis
No, for sure.
Host (DJ Wills)
Why are people so against it? Like, why are these people so mad at not even ihsaa, but, like, the fans, it's like they all mad about it. I'm like, I don't get it.
Rayfield Davis
It's gonna take out a percentage of basketball. Some kids can't play with it. So it's gonna. The kids that Indiana, you know, because I live in Georgia, I live in Atlanta. So, like, it's fast. You go to that. You go to the middle school games, it's going. They going. They hooping. Some kids can't play. But like Indiana, they slowing the game down to allow everybody to play. Cause everybody goal ain't to get to college. You know what I'm saying? Like, so they. They. They just slowing the progression down, like. Cause when it. When it. When high school ball didn't really had no shot clock, when everybody just hooping, like, we was coming up, we was on, like, the same trajectory of development as all the other kids in the country. That's why, like, y' all was creall. Class was crazy. Y' all class was crazy. I had like 30 D1, D1 commits in my class. You know what I'm saying? So, like. And I don't want to use the NIL Transport portal. Ain't really changed much because you look at Purdue, Notre Dame, IU at that time, they had 11 commits. It was nine of us from Indiana, right now they got 11th commits. It's two from Indiana. You feel me? So the progression of the game is just so slow, and then when they get to AAU ball, they can't keep up. Like, you look at the. You look at Indy Heat, you look at Indian Elite, it ain't the same like the 16, you won the EYBL.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
But the best player from Louisville, the other best player from Ohio. From Ohio. And then they got the two pike boys, but you know what I'm saying? But, like, it slowed everything down and everybody caught up and went past us.
Mook
That's a fact. Damn, they need a shot clock. You need it bad, bro. 30 to 30. Like, I need a shot clock, bro.
Rayfield Davis
Holding the ball for 60 seconds is crazy. What are we doing? People paid to watch this, bro. I. Bro, I paid to watch State online, bro. That was $25. And I'm paying. I'm paying to watch them with the ball for a minute and 30 seconds.
Mook
Don't be green like that. That's crazy. And we had a game.
Rayfield Davis
We had to watch my little homies from New Haven. We had some kids from the hood go to State, but.
Mook
And we had a game this year. We only touched the ball two times in the fourth quarter.
Rayfield Davis
Crazy, bro.
Mook
Two times.
Rayfield Davis
And they talking about some had a defense come. No, bro, play basketball.
Mook
Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
Out of here.
Host (DJ Wills)
They took us off the schedule.
Mook
Get rid of these things.
Host (DJ Wills)
Oh, I wish I had the sound
Mooc
we held, but all right.
Host (DJ Wills)
That is wicked. Like you said across the board, man, Indiana always had per All Stars, always had McDonald's All America. This seems to be somewhat of a down year for us, even though we are historic. But, man, yeah, the game has got to change. We are not preparing the kids for the next level at all. Yeah, you look at the shot clock chart here, man.
Rayfield Davis
Oh, that's hard.
Mook
Like, come on, bro, what are we doing?
Rayfield Davis
Bro, it's been a down. I ain't even going to say a down year, bro. It's been like. I know we had Braylon Mullins. I know we had like one or two kids each year, but like, bro, it's been a down five, six years, bro. It's been nasty. The dudes that's running it now ain't the same dudes that's really was running when we was coming up and they didn't let go and done nothing there. It's crazy, bro. The development ain't there.
Host (DJ Wills)
Now we look here, it says no shot clock. And it seems to be throughout the entire Midwest.
Mook
A little wicked there, but Jesus, come on, basketball, man.
Mooc
We just ain't really got up with the times.
Rayfield Davis
And then you look at where basketball hot right now. Like, where all the talent coming from Cali, Georgia, Florida, New York makes sense. The game faster. You and Indiana too. Like, yo, if I'm a trainer, I play that Purdue. I'm a train. I want to get back to the kids. I can't have kids from Pike, LA and EC come work with me at the same time. That's cheating. That's a rule. So, like, that's crazy to me. Kids can't even go train with a trainer. They gotta come be with their high school coach and high school coaches don't. Well, you do, you know what I'm saying? But like, you know, like, it don't make the game is just like, I go, I train in Georgia, I train Atlanta. You got kiss them all over coming. Well, it's like. It's crazy.
Host (DJ Wills)
Yeah, yeah. It's just not preparing them for the next level. And then they get mad about the prep school situation. I'm like, man, they got to do what's best for them. It's a lot of things that could change la luminaire. You went there like this has been a thing. It's benefits, kid. But now you kind of pushing them, especially if they're in the upper echelon, like, it ain't fair for them to deal with the regular rules.
Rayfield Davis
And then the ones that's hating the shot clock, hating. They was hating on Jalen Harrelson, bro. Leaving Fishers. Talk about Fisher's head coaches went to prep school, you feel me? Like, they talked all that trash about Jalen Harrison leaving Fisher, leaving the community, leaving his friends, all this, that. And the third, he left everybody. The very next. The two years later, had Coach go to prep school. That is to coach the B team, you feel me?
Mooc
He probably did that, though, because the times ain't changing.
Rayfield Davis
Yeah, he getting paid better. You know what I'm saying? He get the hoop. You know, they playing real bad. Like you look at right now. You look at last night, the national championship, the tournament, the Chipotle Nationals. Right now, it's in Indianapolis. You had Enzo there. You had NBA scouts there.
Mook
You.
Rayfield Davis
They. They flying around the country playing. You think of the last two number one picks, AJ The Benson, probably Cooper Flagg. You. You go further back than that. That Mount Ver team, they all came from that same EYBL Scholastic league. Like, that's the. That's the new. I mean, that's. That's the best league in the. Probably the world. For real. For high school.
Mooc
But do it always translate, though? A lot of people can go to prep schools. And like, for me, it kind of hides you, though.
Rayfield Davis
That's facts.
Mooc
Cause you go play with a bunch of talented players.
Rayfield Davis
That's facts.
Mooc
And it make the job easy. And y' all all not gonna go to the same school. Y' all all not gonna go to the same level or whatever it is. Some people get hidden, like, nah, you right.
Rayfield Davis
I'm with you. You gotta go to a real prep school. And you really gotta love hoop. Yeah, you gotta love it. You gotta love hoop. You gonna go in the middle. Lot of them in the middle woods. We ain't leave but on the weekends, go to Walmart. You gotta love.
Host (DJ Wills)
Damn Damn.
Rayfield Davis
Damn. Yeah, it was crazy. You gotta turn your phone in at 9.
Mook
He was in the middle of nowhere.
Host (DJ Wills)
You had to turn your phone in at 9. Yeah.
Rayfield Davis
Unless you had an iPad, ipod could sneak it, you know what I'm saying? But, yeah, turn your ph. But you could definitely hop.
Mooc
And no disrespect to Jalen Harrelson, but he could have did the same thing at Fisher that he did at Lyle Mirror.
Host (DJ Wills)
He would have. He would have went to the same
Mooc
college, going to the same Notre Dame,
Rayfield Davis
but would he be this productive as a freshman? Because you think about playing at Fisher, he wasn't having nobody to post feed. He ain't playing ball screen action. He ain't playing against size. You go to school, like, a lot of them are one thing. It give you two in practice, it give you 10. Your practice sometimes harder than the games for sure. So you playing against real. Like, you playing against like, I came up on the south side of Fort Wayne. So, like, we ain't have seven footers walking around the hood like, you know what I'm saying? You go to Lyla Mare, you playing against Honda, Perea, OB and Jet every day. Jay Simpson every day. So it prepare. If you weak, you weak. But like, you know what I mean? Yeah, I feel you though, on that. I feel you on that.
Mooc
Because when I went to Wake Forest, I didn't play against no separate footer but Greg Odom. The whole time we was here, I went to Wake Forest, didn't shit change. If you was weak, you just gonna be weak.
Rayfield Davis
But you saying that like you ain't playing against one of the best Indiana players all time ever. Like, y' all whole life, you play against Greg golden your whole coming up.
Mooc
Yeah, but I'm saying, like, I ain't see him every day. Like, when I went to practice, everybody six foot once or twice. Greg, once or twice.
Rayfield Davis
Come on, bro. Y had Josh Mc Roberts. Y had. Y' all had some songs older, though.
Host (DJ Wills)
They was older.

Getting ahead of the mess with new Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep paper Just lightly wet the counter beforehand so the paper grips and stays in place. Then lay down the Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper so drips and spills stay on the paper, not all over your kitchen counter.

You can use it for cooking and baking, prep and even crafting, especially when you need extra working space. Because when the mess is already handled, you can focus on what matters. The food, the people and the moment. It may look effortless, but now you know. It's Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper. Take a tip from me. Wet it, set it, prep it. Done. Make it easy.
