Remember, Nightcap doesn't happen without you, so please subscribe or you're going to make Ocho cry. The South Carolina Lady Gamecocks beat the Yukon Huskies 62 to 48 in the final seconds. Gino or approached Don Staley for a postgame handshake and then angrily got in her face before Don started firing back. The two were separated, but Don kept shouting towards the bench before walking away. Gino walked off to the tunnel alone. In his post game news conference, Geno said he was frustrated because he waited three minutes for a pregame handshake with Don. He also said he did not regret the comments he made to Holly Row during the broadcast about the lack of files against South Carolina. Said Don Ransom raves at the officials and call referees some names you don't want to hear. Clearly someone got through the Gino because this morning he issued a statement saying, there are no excuses for how I handle the end of the game versus South Carolina. It's unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut. I want to apologize to the staff and the team at South Carolina. It was uncalled for, how I reacted. The story should have been how well South Carolina played, and I don't want my actions to distract from that. I have a great relationship with their staff and I sincerely want to apologize to them. Geno Oreyama well, I'm glad you apologized because we about to tear your ass up, Gino. But anyway, Ocho Joe, we still gonna

[Uncle Joe]

tear his ass up.

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Uncle Joe]

He was dead wrong.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Hey. Dead wrong. Hey, Uncle Joe, listen, as a coach, especially a winning coach like Gino, you have to be able. You should understand and you know how to learn how to win with grace and lose with grace. When you beat Ms. Staley last time, you was all smiles, happy hugs, ready to, you know, whatever it may be. And the fact that you say some things to Holly Row and saying that in the game that Don Staley probably influenced the rest because you y' all guys didn't get the calls necessary. Listen, South Carolina, they didn't just beat y'. All. They dominated in every aspect of the game. Yeah, they played great defense.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

It just did. That wasn't a. That wasn't getting beat. That was getting your ass whipped.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

That's all it was. I mean, listen, your team got embarrassed. You got to be able to lose with grace as well. Okay? You didn't get the three minute Handshake. Or you waited three minutes before, you know, pregame, and you didn't. What is that?

[Joe]

That had. So you still. She did take the whole joke.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

She shook his hand in.

[Ocho]

In pregame.

[Joe]

Well, why did he say yes before the game?

[Uncle Joe]

She shook his hand, man.

[Ocho]

Oh, so he's upset he had to wait three minutes? Is that. Why bring that up?

[Joe]

He's upset. He was the favorite. They blew South Carolina out last year. They were favorite. They got two All American. First team All American.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

They might have the player of the year in Sarah Strong.

[Ocho]

Sarah. Hey, she nice, but.

[Joe]

But South Carolina beat him.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And so this is. I'm. I was. I thought I was gonna win. I was supposed to win, and I got beat.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

That's what this was about. This was a sore loser.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Damn.

[Joe]

Handshake.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Undefeated season, you know, he was something, bro. He was something. And how about not just apologizing to the coaching staff, you know, Give a personal apology to Don Staley. You know what I mean? Like, bro, for you to get in her face like that and talk stuff to her after the game, man, just congratulate and move on. I understand. You know, in the heat of the battle, you know, we. We. We get a little pissed off. You know, like I said, he was on the brink to having an undefeated season. Unc and oo.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And like. Like, Unc said he was a heavy favorite, but, man, them girls from South Carolina, they just outplayed them.

[Joe]

They rolled. They outplayed it.

[Uncle Joe]

They dogged him. They dogged him, and he couldn't take it. He couldn't take it.

[Joe]

No, no, don't say South Carolina. You didn't do that to South Carolina. You was in Don Staley's.

[Uncle Joe]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Joe]

Apologize. Say, you know what? I want to apologize to the staff. And. And I want to personally apologize to Don St. Hello? Now, you told a lie because you said you had a great relationship with the staff. You don't. You said before they asked you after the game, do you have a relationship? You said, no.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

So were you lying then or you lying now?

[Uncle Joe]

Right, right.

[Joe]

Hey, and you know what?

[Ocho]

Whoever. Whoever wrote that apology to Uncle Joe for GPT.

[Joe]

Allegedly.

[Ocho]

That. That, too. And he know if you're gonna apologize to something, Allegedly. Yeah. If you're gonna apologize to someone, you apologize to the person you had the altercation with.

[Joe]

That's what I have.

[Ocho]

An altercation with the staff.

[Uncle Joe]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ocho]

You didn't have altercation with the entire entity of South Carolina.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

That apology been directed straight to Don Staley and nobody else.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And.

[Uncle Joe]

And. And the fact that he was dead wrong. Talking about, oh, my player got a ripped jersey. Hell, she ripped her own Damn Jersey. Yeah.

[Joe]

40 years and I've never had a player ripped jersey. Well, I guess you never had a player get that upset then. Cause she ripped that on her own damn jersey.

[Uncle Joe]

Like, just dead wrong. Just, you know, you dead wrong like that, bro. Just apologize. Make a personal apology to. Done. That's what I felt like it should have been, but I just felt like he was. He was dead wrong, bro. Dead wrong.

[Joe]

Don. Say, I'm a beat. I'll beat Gino ass. I would beat Gino ass.

[Ocho]

Oh, you ready, Lips? You ready?

[Uncle Joe]

Okay, okay, okay. Hey, Don from Philly. Uncle Ocho, she ain't playing. Yeah. She about to get to it.

[Joe]

Yeah. And that's anytime you have to. It has to have. It has to be personal.

[Ocho]

Yes.

[Joe]

Because what you did was personal.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Okay. You want to apologize to your institution because the way you behaved and put them in a negative light, you can say that. I want to apologize to my university also. But you did this to Don. You didn't do this to your entire staff. You did this to one individual. Now, whatever the case may be, I don't know where it goes back from, but he had a very contentious, contentious relationship with Pat Summit, the University of Tennessee. Yeah, it was very contentious. I know had had the lovely opportunity of meeting Pat in New York at the. At the sky club in. At LaGuardia. Had a great time. I said, Ms. Summit, how you. He said, call me Pat, you know, so forth and so on. But, Gino, you was wrong.

[Uncle Joe]

Dead.

[Joe]

And your apology, I appreciate it, but it needs to have a personal touch to it. It needs to say, I apologize to the person that I spoke out of turn to. That I approached. That I. That I. I probably said something that I should have said. I don't know what he said.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

The way you behave is that you took a lot of the. A lot of the. The.

[Uncle Joe]

The.

[Joe]

The. The steam out of the sale of South Carolina. Because what we should be talking about, that South Carolina did what many didn't think they could do.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

Right. Beat an undefeated team, a reigning champion with two All Americans. And they did it on the defensive end.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah. There had some ladies that rose to the occasion offensively, but this was a defense. You look at what Sarah strong shot. You look at what Az. Fudge shot, and that'll tell you Everything that you need to know for you to not have a personal touch and say, I like to apologize first and foremost to Don Staley. Yeah, she's a hell of a coach. She's rebound. Hey, look here. The Gamecocks. When you think about the Gamecocks, you think about the women's basketball team. You don't think about a football team. And they've had a baseball team, had good baseball team, good track program with Sarge Frye. But when you think of South Carolina Gamecocks, you think of Don Staley and the Lady Gamecocks.

[Uncle Joe]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Joe]

And so for you not to talk about the staff, you said you do not have a personal relationship with Don Staley. You. And I'm not saying that you have to.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

That's fine. But your behavior would suggest that you need to have personally apologized to her. I appreciate you apologizing to the University of South Carolina and their staff, but they got to be. Have a little more personal touch to it. That's what. Apology. Apology. In order for you to. For you, an individual, because what you did was to an individual, you need to personally apologize to said individual.

[Uncle Joe]

Absolutely.

[Ocho]

Hey, go ahead.

[Joe]

What you want to say, honestly, and,

[Ocho]

you know, excuse my language, man, that apology, most of the time, it takes for somebody to get angry, for them to show their true colors and how they really feel.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ocho]

I mean, that's all it is.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

And then on top of that, the fact that he didn't apologize directly to her, it lets you know how you really feel.

[Uncle Joe]

Right? Right.

[Ocho]

When you win it, when you're winning

[Joe]

all that last year, when he's on the sideline, the clock's running down. He got his hands all up there.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Hey, smiling.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Julian Edelman]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Back where we supposed to be.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, that.

[Ocho]

Man, that fake ass apology, man, ain't never apology, man.

[Uncle Joe]

He didn't.

[Joe]

He didn't.

[Uncle Joe]

He didn't even write it. But. But check this out. Can y' all imagine what Don Staley was like in the locker room after the game? Like, way to kick that.

[Joe]

Of course.

[Uncle Joe]

You know, she was going off like that.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Wait a minute. Hey, that's what I would have been like. I'm like, man, wait, wait.

[Ocho]

Wait a minute, Joe. And hold on. You want to.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You.

[Ocho]

You. You think it's bad because Gino did this? Imagine if the rules was flipped, boy. Yeah, man, it would have been World War iii.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. They'd have been talking big stuff about Don.

[Joe]

Man, listen, you gotta be just as gracious in victory as you Are in defeat. Defeat. Now think about it. Think about Geno. Geno's been coaching 20, 40 years. He's been the 25 Final Fours. He's won 12 championships. So somebody has been on the losing end 12 times. Gino is 12 and one in final in national championship games.

[Uncle Joe]

Damn.

[Joe]

South Carolina beat him a couple of years ago. He's 12 and one. So 12 times somebody had to walk across the floor, across the court aisle and. And shake his hand after gotten their ass tore up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You look at the women that he's coached from Tarasi and. And Lobo and Maya Moore and Charles and. And Brianna Stewart. And the list goes on and on. He's winning three out of four. Brianna Stewart didn't lose a national championship game. So for four straight years, this man, he up there cheats kiki in people's face.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Now, the one time you're supposed to win and you didn't, you behave like this. Remember, you're as gracious in victory as you are in defeat. Nobody likes to lose. Everybody talking about, man, I'm a sword. I hate when people say, well, I hate to lose. If. If you had that. Once you get to a certain level, everybody hates to lose.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

You put all that damn time in all these girls and put all this time in and.

[Uncle Joe]

And. And.

[Joe]

And been away from their families and doing all this stuff. Nobody wants to lose. No, but it's a part of it. Yeah, but when they lose, they don't act like a jackass. Man, that. That. That kills me. I hate what guy. Oh, I'm a. So, yeah, it bothers me. Anybody. Because I know there. There are some guys that. Hey, when they. When they winning, they running around and act like they're on the damn hoverboard. Yeah, but when they lose, Ocho, they can't be found. Well, you know, I. I didn't want. No, no, no, no. But they couldn't get you to shut up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

Nah, don't. Don't do that.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, don't do that. Yeah. I just didn't. I just didn't expect that from Gino, bro. I. I just felt like he was a classy individual, and I thought that, you know, he. He would. He would be much better than that. Like blaming Don on how she talked to the rep. Man, come on, man.

[Joe]

We in between. He ain't never said something out of. Out of line to the ref.

[Uncle Joe]

Come on, man.

[Joe]

But that ain't your job. That's the ref. You ain't no ref. You a coke. It's not dry snitching. Yeah. And.

[Ocho]

And the way. The way he said it, the way he explained it, is as if Don screaming or saying whatever she's saying to the referees is influencing the ref's call in the game.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Ocho]

Then. Then he follows it up with the fouls.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Are we talking.

[Joe]

What are we.

[Ocho]

Gina. What are we talking about? Baby, you got whooped. You lost.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

You don't lose often, but tonight you lost.

[Joe]

Yeah, what about. What about that Ocho, the man, the one. He won like 112 something games. He won like he went like three straight years straight and never lost a game.

[Ocho]

Man, ain't no.

[Joe]

Ain't nobody. Ain't nobody did. Did what he did to him. What, Don Staley? Yeah, what he did to Don. They didn't do that to him. No, Don took that ass whipping. I think they beat the Carolina last year. They beat him. I think they beat him in South Carolina. Beat him by about 30 or 40. And they beat him by another 20, 30 last year in the championship game.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. D. Got some dogs over there, Uncle. Oo.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, she got.

[Joe]

And Chlo K, one of their best rebounding girls. She hurt. Yeah, yeah, she got McIr and Lassen, those. And Raven Johnson, all those. Hey, Raven. Them girls came to play.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, they came to play.

[Joe]

They knew what was going to play last night, and I just hope they could. I hope they can finish it off. Yeah, it's gonna be anticlimactic if they take down Goliath and they. They don't take care of ucla, because ucla, they.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, they got. They got. They got a big girl down there who ain't playing.

[Ocho]

Yeah, she nice.

[Joe]

Hey, but Carolina gonna play some defense now. They don't do nothing else. They're gonna play deep. They're gonna hang the hats on defense because that's what Don was. Don was a. Hey, yeah, she was. Hey, she could. Hey, she could put the ball in the basket. But Don was a hound.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. And she got some girls who can go off the bounce, though. Who I'm talking about.

[Joe]

Yep.

[Uncle Joe]

Get to that chicken, Uncle Ocho. Yeah. Like, you know, you.

[Joe]

You. It's.

[Uncle Joe]

It's different when you got girls who out there moving like dudes. You see what I'm saying? Who handling that rock like a dude. Like. Yeah, that's when you, like, hold on, bro. You know what I mean? Yeah, for real. That's why I be looking up like, hold on. That girl got that thing on the string, don't she?

[Joe]

So. But Carolina did it. Game The Lady Gamecocks has an opportunity to win their third national championship in four years. What? For what she's done to that program. Wow, man. Basically, that's what you got. That's what you got to do. Because for the most part, these. When you get a program, you build it up. Look at Gino. Gino was there for 40 plus. It's been a UConn for 40 years. Pat was there for 35, 40 years. Tar Vandiver at Stanford. 35, 40 years. You look at these ladies and Kim Mulkey, when she was at Baylor, she built that program up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So basically, you gotta build a program. You just got. You just gotta build it.

[Uncle Joe]

You gotta be a great players coach to where these kids that's coming to your school, they gotta really truly believe that you got they back. And I feel like with Don, you know, she in TikTok, she in Instagram reels, you know what I mean? That's relatable to these kids because that's all they want to do. You know what I mean? They want to have fun, do stuff like that. At the same time, if you giving me everything that I'm asking for on the court, 100% on offense and defense, man, I do all the tik toks y' all want to do.

[Joe]

Didn't she. What did she do? She let her team pick out a bag, a Louis Vuitton bag. I think she let Jackson State and them get sneakers. Yeah, I think she. I mean, she. She's just all like, I've never met Don, but she just strikes me as an allaround good player, a good person.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

She wants to. Hey, look, she a hard worker. You can tell she a hard worker.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ocho]

But.

[Joe]

20% off your first purchase points, 11 rebounds, three blocks. But a crucial. A crucial one late in the ball game. Kiki Rice. We've had Kiki on 11 points, including four key free throws in the final minute to see the win. And fellow guards Gabrielle Hawkez, whose brother Jamie plays at the Miami Miami Heat and Gianna pickens each had 10. I thought Texas, cuz Texas got a girl. I think it's Booker. I think booker. She wears KD number 35.

[Uncle Joe]

You see what she shot from the field?

[Joe]

Boy, they did a number on her. She missed 17 straight shots. Oh, Joe. And oo before she hit that last one late, I think within four or three. But she was.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, she was. She got. She got plenty of game. Uncle O. I done seen her play a few times this year. Yeah, but she won three or 23 for six points, bro. Yeah, ain't no. And look, they don't. They ain't even lose by that many. I thought, you know, if she could have just played decent.

[Joe]

Oh, they beat him.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

If she play. If they. If she play. And, and, and, and here's another thing. They shot five free throws, Joe, So that tells me they're not aggressive. It tells me they're settling for jumpers. Yeah, yeah, she's 04. She's 04 from the three point line. And then she didn't shoot a free throw. Their starter, only one starter, shot a free throw. Let that sink in. Only one starter from the University of Texas shot a free throw. Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Hey, Best did a number on them, though. 11 boys, 16.7 for 10. She can play. I like her game.

[Uncle Joe]

I think they always play a day before the men.

[Joe]

Joe, do you remember. Do you remember? Joe. OO and the men's final four, they used to play a consolation game that the two teams that lost. So like, Arizona and Illinois would play.

[Uncle Joe]

Old fella, he just, he's just working on. He just, he only. He a 8th degree, 9th degree tongue fu master. He just keep getting different belts.

[Ocho]

Hey, man, it's only one way to get that black belt sometimes. Hey, listen, sometimes you got to set the standard, man. You know?

[Joe]

But no, I couldn't imagine that, Joe. Honestly, I could. I mean, I wouldn't feel like a man. I mean, if you're a guy and you on your tiptoes to kiss the woman.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Come on, Joe. You six, seven, six, eight. You on your tiptoes?

[Uncle Joe]

[Joe]

No, no, no, man. Come on, Ocho.

[Ocho]

I'm just saying. I'm just saying, you need. Don't knock it till you try it.

[Joe]

I'm just. Look, I mean, look, if you. If you're a short guy, problems, you 5, 2, 5, there's a great chance if you 5, 5, 5, or under, as a guy, you probably gonna end up marrying somebody taller than you.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Because most of the time, you know, unless. Unless you like, you know, you date a little person. A little person. I mean, sometimes they get. As a matter of fact, Brad Williams, you know, he married. He married a. A not a little person. She's taller than he is. But for the most part, if you're a small guy, you. You're gonna probably end up with a. Yeah, I think.

[Uncle Joe]

I think. I think smaller dudes, they.

[Joe]

And they.

[Uncle Joe]

They kind of like that.

[Joe]

They do, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah, they do. They, I think, like, even when it comes to, like, you know, having a offspring and everything, they think about that. They think about, damn, I'm short, but if I give me a Tall Woman About 5, 9, 5, 10, and I ain't. But, hell, 5, 6, I might be all right.

[Joe]

Yeah. You know, if they're in between. Yeah, I get somebody five five. I'm five five. Boy, we might have a little person and. Nothing wrong with a little person. I'm just saying. Because you look at Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Kanye. What? Kanye 5 5, but Kim 5 2.

[Uncle Joe]

Damn.

[Joe]

We got our game on Monday night. We got the Yukon Huskies taking on the Michigan Wolverines on a Monday night. Who you got? You will start with you, Ocho. Who you got?

[Ocho]

It's only 500.

[Joe]

You won't be 5,900 for. For three years.

[Ocho]

But that. That's. That's an emergency fund.

[Joe]

Huh? So what? So I guess the 500 gonna go to the emergency fund also.

[Ocho]

We, you know, because you talk about me on you. If Michigan win, I. I mean, if Michigan lose, I might not want to pay you just so you get mad.

[Uncle Joe]

See, you gonna piss me off, and I'm gonna whip your ass like you are you gonna add to the ass whooping. Ocho, don't do that. That's all I'm saying. I think you're a good dude. I really think you're a good dude. I really do.

[Joe]

I'm a good dude. Joe, he just don't pay his debt.

[Uncle Joe]

I hate for it to go down like this, you know what I mean? It's like a dude with a gun.

[Uncle Joe]

I. I don't really want to use it, but you know what I mean? Don't push me.

[Joe]

You feel me?

[Ocho]

[Uncle Joe]

Okay?

[Ocho]

Joe barking up the wrong tree, man,

Ucla the Lady Bruins blow out the Lady Gamecocks to win their very first women's NCAA championship. In her 15th season at the helm, Corey Close pulled off what many didn't believe possible. The 28 point margin of victory is the third largest in Division 1 basket women's championship history. UCLA Never Trail opened up a double digit lead at the end of the first quarter. En route to his 31st straight win to make history. Lauren Betts was named most outstanding player in the championship.

[Uncle Joe]

They put, they put BTA to them girls today.

[Joe]

Man they didn't jumble on them girls

[Ocho]

from from the start it wasn't close.

[Joe]

I mean look held him to 29% shooting from the field, 13% shooting from the three point line. It was just too much size and N. Kippens and Haz and Kiki Rice those they would, they were the better team and ain't no way around it and and it seemed like to me you could tell early on they were the Gamecocks were missing layups, missing bunnies. And I, I called my sister probably about five minutes into the game. I said, it's over. She said the game just getting started, says it's over. Their championship game was to beat UConn. They're not beating this team. They got too big, making too many shots.

[Uncle Joe]

They got off to such a slow start. Go ahead, Ocho.

[Ocho]

No, I was going to say. I was going to say they got off to a slow start. But that goddamn defense, huh? The defense was so suffocating. UCLA was putting and they, they were scoring that goddamn will. You can tell there was a difference in understanding why ucla, if I'm not ucla. If I'm not mistaken, they only lost one game this year.

[Uncle Joe]

They did.

[Ocho]

I. I think. And you could tell the difference in, in teams. Obviously, South Carolina is good, but UCLA is a much, much better team all the way around.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, they, they. I think I thought they had. I thought they physicality. Them big girls at the ucla obviously best, but I thought. What's her name? Yak. What's her name?

[Joe]

Oh, Hawkez.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, I don't know how she ain't win mvp. Okay.

[Joe]

Did you see the look on Lauren Ben's face when they say she's the most outstanding player?

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah. She was shocked. Me too.

[Uncle Joe]

I'm sorry.

[Joe]

Me too. I was more shocked than you.

[Ocho]

How can. That's Young Bull. That's Young Bull's sister from all the heat, huh?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Oh, she balled out. She balled out. I think they whole team balled out. Just, just, just from watching them. They kind of. It seemed like they understood what was at stake. They had never. I don't even think they ever been to the championship game.

[Joe]

Nope.

[Ocho]

That was their first national championship, huh?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Hey, man, them girls came out with they mind made up. Cause I thought South Carolina, you know, they got some dogs, obviously, but they just didn't have the size to even compete. I mean, they, they girl bets. She was. She, She. I mean, she had everybody at her mercy. They couldn't do nothing with her.

[Joe]

Nope.

[Uncle Joe]

Nah.

[Joe]

11 rebounds. I mean, she was, she was sensational today. I mean, the whole team played and they deserved to win. Like you said, the size, they couldn't do anything with the side. They get picked and then they get them in a pin down and they just throw the ball over the top. Layup Hawkheads. They were the defense. When you hold A team to 29% from the field, 13% from the three,

[Uncle Joe]

it seemed like South Carolina got a lot of girls that's kind of similar in height. Like, they all can kind of go off the bounce. They all can shoot a little bit, but they just don't have enough size in the paint to be able to withstand a bit. So anybody as of such. You know what I mean?

[Joe]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

And it showed. It showed today, man. Those girls locked in, bro.

[Joe]

Two of the bigs. Chloe kids is out. She tore knee. Watkins is dealing with some other issues. I think she might have tore on me, but she had some issues going on. So maybe she's back. But the guys that. Joyce Edwards did not play well. Watson, who was an All American, she did not play well. Raven Johnson didn't play well. Tessa Johnson was really the only one that played well. She shot the ball okay. Yeah, they didn't play. They didn't play well. And that had to do with UCLA and the defense that they give them credit. Yeah, yeah. South Carolina didn't shoot the ball well, but it went out there by themselves. Somebody forced them to miss those shots. Yeah. Like you said, they got behind early and it just. It just grew.

[Uncle Joe]

It did, man. It was just like.

[Ocho]

Hey. Hey, Joe. How tall was the 5 from UCLA? How tall is she?

[Joe]

Yeah, that's the one we was talking about.

[Ocho]

Yeah, I know, I know. I wasn't tripping.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, she a big girl. She was a low ocho.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

They couldn't do nothing with her down there.

[Joe]

And the thing is, remember, Joe, she had that bell. She was coughing on the sideline like she had an asthma attack or something.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

They needed to carve into that league while she was out. And when they couldn't get. They couldn't gain any traction while she was out.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Cause UCLA still build on the lead when she was sitting on the bench.

[Joe]

Absolutely.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, you're right. Right. They just didn't play.

[Joe]

They didn't play well. Congratulations, Gamecocks. You went. I wasn't at their fourth or fifth straight title game. Well, yeah, I think. Well, probably the fourth because they went back to back. They won back to back. They lost last year and they lost again this year. But ain't nothing you could do, Joe. The better team won.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. I ain't saying.

[Joe]

And then the girls dancing at the end, I was like, go ahead on, miss.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, I ain't see this, though, you know?

[Ocho]

You didn't think it was gonna be like this?

[Uncle Joe]

What?

[Joe]

No, I didn't think they'd lose by. Not by 28. I thought the game would be much closer. Yes, I did.

[Uncle Joe]

Now, don't get me wrong, I ain't seen a lot of UCLA play. I may have seen like a game or two, if that, but I've seen South Carolina play on numerous a time.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Uncle Joe]

And I just did not see that after they beat, after they beat Connecticut, I thought they was almost destined to win it.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

But I heard clearly, I hadn't seen who beat ucla.

[Joe]

Was it Texas? Was Texas?

[Uncle Joe]

I think it was Texas. Yeah, I think they did.

[Joe]

I think Texas the only one that beat them.

[Uncle Joe]

And they beat Texas in the tournament, didn't they?

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And yeah, but congratulations to the Lady Bruins. Winning their first NCAA championship finish to the season, 37 and 1. But they got a lot. They got some seniors on that class, I think. I'm trying to think. I think Raven Johnson is a. Is a senior. I think they bring a lot of these girls. I mean, I don't know. They could. I mean, I think Lassen, I think she comes back,

[Uncle Joe]

she'll senior. You think she come back?

[Joe]

I don't think she'll see you. Is she a senior? Is that the one that transferred from Florida State?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, I think she. Yeah, she'll senior.

[Joe]

Okay.

[Uncle Joe]

She'll senior.

[Joe]

I know Raven Johnson's a senior.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, I think UCLA got a lot of seniors too. Who gonna.

[Joe]

Yeah, I saw that. And she hugged. She hugged the lady, the UCLA coach before the game. Who did? Don.

[Uncle Joe]

Then she.

[Joe]

Don Staley. Yeah. Yeah. But no, it's gonna be. It's gonna be a situation where, you know, Carolina be back. Don Staley is a very good coach.

[Uncle Joe]

And she got some good recruits coming in too.

[Joe]

Yep. I think she got that girl that won the dunk contest. Isn't the girl that won the dunk contest coming in from McDonald's all American? I think so. Carolina?

[Uncle Joe]

I think so. I think so. But I know she got another girl coming who go to Sierra Canyon out there in la. I forgot her name, but she could play.

[Joe]

Yeah, that's where juju went.
