The Hawkeyes to the sweet 16 and in the process of getting there, they had to knock off the defending number one seed, the Florida Gators on the first year. Head coach Ben McCollum. The Hawkeyes reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999 while sending the 27 and 8. Florida Gators became a first number one seed to be knocked out in this year's March madness hour. 23 and 12 wasted. Wasted a 12 point lead in the final seconds, but rallied to become the first number nine seed to be the number one since 2018, when Florida State shocked Xavier. The Hawkeyes will face the number four seed Nebraska Corn Huskers in the south regional semifinals on Thursday night in Houston. Joe, how would the Hawkeyes able to pull this off?
Ocho
Man, obviously I seen Florida big man, he only played 20 minutes. He had basically. He had four fouls. He had four fouls. So I know they got him in foul trouble. And man, they was just tough. They weren't gonna back down, they weren't gonna bag down. They kept themselves in closing range. And at the end of the game, man, why, why would you take that gamble and let that man get in front of you? Now you put your teammate in a huckabuck to where now he gotta either take the ball or take the man in the corner.
Joe
Man, come on, man, I said the same thing. I don't know why you press that hard. Because it's not like it's. That's. I mean, nine seconds is a lot of time. It's not like it's three seconds, Joe. It's nine seconds. Yeah, and so you run that risk and you run and you give him the side. So you don't got no cutoff point. You don't got nobody that you could direct him to. Ain't no interference. So. So he's got a clear shot. He's either going all the way to the basket or he gonna kick.
Ocho
I don't know what the boogie Flynn was thinking on that one, but hey, give kudos to Iowa, man. They play hard, disciplined, and I always talk about the bigs that Florida got and they once gave them bigs. Hey, them boy Iowa, probably more physical than Florida. Uncle Ocho.
Joe
Yeah, they shot 50 from the floor. They didn't shoot. Neither team really shot well from the three point line. I was. It was 29, 7 to 24. And Florida was 6 and 19 for 32%. Neither team was really good from the free throw line. 64 for Iowa, 74 from for Florida. But the thing is that when you're a number one seed and the longer you let the lower seed hang around, Lord forbid that Joe could get a lead and he in the second half.
Uncle Ocho
Yep.
Joe
They really start to believe they like, oh, we can beat this team.
Ocho
Yeah, we can hang confidence.
Joe
There might have been doubt in the beginning, but you didn't remove.
Ocho
There you go.
Joe
So now you got hell on your hands.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
Go ahead, Ocho.
Uncle Ocho
I was going to say, you know, the closer that game get, and that's in that second half, you know, asses get a little bit more tighter. You know, everybody get. Everybody get a little bit more gunshot. You know, hey, it's a different kind of pressure. Listen, I've never been in that situation like that. I never played basketball at this level to be, you know, in a tournament of this magnitude. But I understand pressure situations and what it does and what it does to you. You know, you get a little bit nervous. You know, you've been in pressure situation.
Joe
You've had a big lead in Cincinnati and the team whittled that ish down and you got to go back out there because you don't want to give that offense the ball. You know exactly what pressure.
Uncle Ocho
I know what you mean. I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, Absolutely.
Joe
You know, hey, man, Carson telling you and Hooch, man, look, we can't give them the ball back. Hey, both hands on the football. Hey, get it. Get down. We don't need extra yards. We don't need anybody to play hero.
Ocho
Hey, look, but my thing is for the hour in Florida game, like, why, why don't you just keep your man in front, make him take a tough shot. Just. I. I just didn't understand them pressing like that and then gambling the way that they did. I'm like, what they.
Joe
No, there was no need. If that guy hit a shot like the guy in Kentucky Joe, I just put him ahead.
Uncle Ocho
You gotta live with that.
Joe
You live with a foot bank shot. Okay, I live with that. But why would you risk it in that situation? Most guys can probably get from one end to the other 94ft. They can get there about three seconds.
Ocho
Yeah, easy.
Joe
They can get down about three seconds. He's got nine. So now he. All he has to do is. Hey, it was a. The way dude shot that like he been making threes. You hear me?
Ocho
Hey, Ojo. Cause he could have took A dribble or two and tried to get to the basket. That man like, you know what?
Joe
We finna.
Ocho
We going home or we going to the next round.
Uncle Ocho
Hey.
Joe
Yes.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, one or the other. Ain't no gray area about it.
Ocho
I love it. I love it. It take Gus to shoot that type
Joe
of shot, bro, that joke.
Julian Edelman
Hey.
Joe
He like, I'm all, hey, I'm shoving all my chips to the middle of the table. He was there like, son, damn, son, you had a couple of dribbles, you could have dribbled a couple and got a closer shot. He like, nah, I want that. I want. Make it as difficult as I possibly can on myself, dude. Dribble like n. Let me get this. Step back in, man, don't.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, that's a tough shot, Uncle. Oo, that's a tough shot. That man took a drip. He took a dribble like he was going in and man, step back for three for game. Hey, that's my kind of guy.
Joe
It's March Madness.
Ocho
That's what I'm talking about, man.
Joe
He shot that thing like he was Steph Curry. That was some. Steph Curry is.
Ocho
Hey, hey, look, you got the number one seed and we going to overtime. They might pull. They might pull out on them. But. But if I go and shoot this dagger.
Joe
Yes.
Uncle Ocho
Hit it.
Joe
Because you're not expected to win anyway. So even if you lose, everybody gonna say you played a tough game. That's the defending champs. They got X, Y and Z. They got police. They got NBA players roster. That's what people gonna say, hey, look, I know. And it doesn't do you any comps. It doesn't make you feel any better that you played a number one seed, the. The defending champ, Dallas Wire. That don't make you feel any better. But it's not as much pressure. Now. Florida had that shot. That's pressure. Because now I'm the number one seed. I'm not even supposed to be. I'm not even supposed to be in this situation. Now that I think. Now that I think about it, Oo and Joe, I ain't even supposed to be here. Yeah, we supposed to. We supposed to be up by 10 with. With like 20 seconds to go. And we get some guys in that don't normally play. We normally get them off the bench so they can feel what it's like to be in the March Madness. And here we are, we find ourselves in some bull.
Ocho
Oh, man. What Florida doing, bro? They done messed up my bracket.
Joe
I know who bracket. They didn't mess Up. You know what? I might hire my.
Ocho
You had them. You had come in and say you had them lose. You had them losing the hour.
Joe
I didn't have to go into the Final Four.
Uncle Ocho
Joe had the boy going to the Final Four.
Joe
Yeah, and you have Virginia going to the Final Four. Me, my Elite Eight and my Final Four bracket is still intact.
Uncle Ocho
Wait, what? What about mine?
Joe

Public Investing Representative

Narrator/Advertiser
He.
Joe
He.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, hey.
Joe
He picking.
Ocho
He picking with his hand. Hey, hey, hey. That just would have been perfect setup. Well, Florida made it. We make it, the Razorbacks make it, and we get. They get back. But now that Florida gone, we got. We ain't even got to talk about them no more. We ain't got to talk about them no more. All right. We talk about them Razorbacks.
Joe
Oh, Oh. I don't know if you noticed this, but if you noticed what Joe did, he basically all his damn SEC teams to go as far as he can.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah, he did.
Joe
He think he's slick. He talking about you picking mascot. All we did, I said, oh, that's Tennessee. Put them in. Oh, that's Florida. Let's put them in. That's better. I'm like, well, damn. I'm looking at his record. I was like, well, Damn.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, with JoJo in the back of the line.
Ocho
No way. Ain't no way.
Joe
Nah, nah. He's still doing good. He must be. Thought this was football, But this was. This was a good game. This is why you like March Madness, because the underdog really does have a chance. We've seen it not only in March Madness, but we see it in the national championship game. We see it in the semifinals. We saw what Christian Laker did. We saw. We saw that. That he. That he. That. That they threw the ball to him and he gets the ball.
Uncle Ocho
He.
Joe
Yeah, Wham. Yeah, we saw that. I saw us. Reed, I think this was in probably 81. Hit a half court shot, did you? It might have been Arkansas.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
U.S. replay for Arkansas.
Joe
Yeah, it might have been Arkansas against Louisville or somebody. When did US Reid hit that shot, Half court shot and sent them on to the next round. That was really the first time that I had seen that. Understood what Mark's man was about is that, you know, an underdog winning. I think that. What I think that was he beat. They beat Louisville, if I'm not mistaken.
Ocho
I think so, because I think it
Joe
was after Louisville had won the national championship. Because Louisville won the national championship in 1980. Excuse me. They beat UCLA. Denny Crumb was a Louisville coach and Larry Brown was.
Uncle Ocho
Which Larry Brown? 76 is Larry Brown.
Joe
Yes, yes. He coached UCLA and he coached Kansas. Yeah, yeah, That's. I just said that. I just said that. US Reeds, Arkansas hit a half court shot to beat Louisville in 81. Because Louisville won the national championship in 1980.
Ocho
Yeah, in.
Joe
In 81, Indiana won the national championship. That's when they beat. That's when they beat unc.
Ocho
Okay.
Joe
The same year. That was the assist Hinckley tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan. And they thought about. They thought about calling the game, but they didn't. They played on. So that was really the first time that I understood, really understood because I hadn't seen any buzzer beaters like that before. But, man, I'm sorry, Joe.
Ocho
What's that, man?
Joe
Your team ain't win now?
Ocho
My team won.
Joe
I'm.
Ocho
I'm raising.
Joe

Uncle Ocho

Think about it. Think about all the. And, and I'm not saying that it's easy, but when you get five star at the five star, you loaded or your 12 man roster. Seven, eight of them, five stars and they going number one. You got, you got five players going in the first round. You got Devin Book and guys like that coming off your bench and Jamal Murray, bro, I'm sorry. The fans are not going to be
Ocho
patient because they die hard in Kentucky and they travel. They try, they travel. Yes.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, but hey, that's, that's not fair. We talk about that. We talk about that all the time too, Joe. When we talk about, you know, the product that's on the court is really not a reflection of the goddamn coach. I mean, I can only do so much with the product I got on the court.
Joe
If we playing them, he recruited. That's what's on the court. That's where you go ride the merry go round. You can get candied apples. Yeah, you can bob. You can bob for apple.
Uncle Ocho
Right, right, right, right.
Joe
And you can see clowns. Now. I don't know nothing about no fair. You also judge pigs there. I just saw somebody sold a cow for a million dollars. Somebody sold a pig for 500,000.
Uncle Ocho
I saw that. You saw that? I saw the pig.
Joe
Yeah.
Uncle Ocho
That's the fair pig on Twitter.
Joe
Yeah. So them boosters and alumni that gave 20 plus million dollars, they ain't trying to hear about this.
Ocho
No, son. Kentucky used to be premier. Like when I was coming up when Rick Patino, that man was winning.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah.
Ocho
Championships, SEC championships.
Joe
Like, yeah, you go. Cause you go for Rick Patino to touch. Rick won. And then Toby turned around and Won because I think. I think rick won in 96 and I think Toby won in 98 because they were very close.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
And so, and, and look at the players that they, they would. They were having coming through there, man. Your Antoine Walkers, your Jamal, Mash Burns,
Ocho
Big, Big Anderson, you run Mercers, Tony Dilks, they had a man look, they kept it with.
Joe
And then you got Shay, you got Jamal Murray, you got Book, you got Cat, you got AD look. And we ain't got but one championship out of all of that. John Wall, Boogie, Cousins. Yeah, and we got one Ocho out of all of that.
Ocho
That's how. Hey, look, that's how hard it is to win though in college, man. It ain't easy. Just cause you put all this talent together don't do. Not necessarily mean that it's gonna lead to a championship. It's gonna take great coaching with that great talent. And you gonna have to mesh it together and make it work. You know what I mean? Like a lot of these coaches, Uncle Ocho, they ain't really coaching like that, you know what I mean? But you got some great coaches out here who know how to coach great talent.
Joe
A lot of times if you go back and study it, I think AD AD won freshman led. I think maybe Duke. But for the most part, it's upperclassmen, it's juniors, seniors, graduates, guys that's played together. It's. I mean, like Joe said, them guys coming in for one year, you already know what they're here for. They want it done starting January 1st. I ain't going no class, O.J.
Ocho
i'm done.
Uncle Ocho
And you think that would. You think that makes it difficult to win also when there's no continuity and some of the best players, they coming in one year and they leaving.
Ocho
And not only do it make it tough on your continuity, but it don't necessarily always. They don't necessarily always turn out to be great pros because you hadn't learned anything. You came from high school, you've been in college for six months, bro. You played the season, hopefully you got some great toolage from, you know, coaches or whatever. But once you go to the pros, it's totally different. And you get there and don't really know nothing and think it's about you, you, you. And you don't know how to sacrifice and compromise your game to be able to fit in for the team. Well, you get lost real quick.
Joe
I mean, I mean, it's gonna be. It's gonna be. It's gonna be unbelievable. If Duke win the national championship. Because think about it. In the last six years, they've had three number one overall picks. Zion, Paulo, Bankero, Cooper, Flag.
Ocho
Yeah,
Joe
Cam Reddish. They got con canuple. They had Josh, Josh Johnson. Look at all the first round. I mean hot picks. I ain't talking about no, no, no. Bottom to 25 to 30. And then right now they got high, high draft picks.
Ocho
Yeah, man, that ain't easy, bro.
Joe
It ain't easy. But when the coach is making the kind of money they making and when they putting that kind of money, when the boosters and alumni putting that kind of money in there, right? Hey, it Ocho, it's like the NFL when they put. When the general manager got to go. Head coach got to go, bro. You see our salary cap, we at the top of the salary cap. You say this is what we need. We don't spent $300 million in free. A billion dollars in free agency, in contracts, and we still at the bottom of the division. Nah, you got to go, bro. You got to get up out of here as I go. Yeah, for sure. Tennessee beat Virginia 79, 72. Tennessee fended off Virginia to escape with the win to advance to the Sweet 16. The Cavaliers Capital on a couple of unforced errors to briefly take the league with about two minutes left. But clutch free throws and shooting allow the Volunteers to hold on. Virginia freshman DeRidder did everything he could, scoring a game high 22 points. He's the first Cavalier player with at least 20 points and five rebounds in an NCAA tournament game since DeAndre Hunter in 2019. Championship Tennessee Switch 16 opponent Iowa State.
Uncle Ocho
That's gonna be a good game.
Joe
Who got, who got Iowa State advancing? You do. I do.
Uncle Ocho
Me too.
Ocho
I probably pick Tennessee.
Joe
Hell, I sure hope you did, Joe.
Uncle Ocho
You did.
Ocho
No, I mean who did? Iowa State just play.
Uncle Ocho
They just be.
Joe
So they beat the brakes off.
Ocho
Oh, Texas Tech. Was it Texas?
Joe
Yeah. No, no, no, Texas. Alabama just played Texas Tech.
Uncle Ocho
Kentucky.
Joe
Kentucky. Yeah, but like.
Ocho
No, I know I had our state beating them. I would say the two seed
Joe
you, but you, hey, but you like what you call them? You like sec.
Ocho
Yeah, I know but I, I, I didn't, I didn't pickle my heart on that one.
Uncle Ocho
Damn, man, they killed Kentucky. Man.
Joe
They, they blew him out. They beat him by, yeah, beat him by 19. I was, I was surprised. Virginia, I mean Tennessee did an outstanding job. They shot 39 from the field, 34 from the three point line. Yeah, 55. First of all, when you make that free, when you only get to the free throw line 11 times, Joe. You got to be damn near 90. 90 to 100% because the other team got to the free throw line 25 times and they made 19 of them, so they already, they got a plus 13 just at the line.
Ocho
Damn. Yeah. I don't know Tennessee good though, uncle. Oo, they ain't, they ain't, they ain't no slouches. No, I know they, I mean, I, I 24, 11. They got some guys who can play, man. They got some guys who can play. Yeah, Virginia just had an off night. Low scoring, 72 points. The good teams, bro, they up in the 88, the high 80s, you got to.
Joe
But you know, Virginia run that in Bennett. They don't, they don't get up and down like that. No, they're not, they're not trying to get up and down if they don't want you to get up and down.
Ocho
Yeah, Tennessee, Tennessee look good though. They look good. They had a lot of guys play well.
Joe
I don't even look good against Iowa
Ocho
State, our state look good, boy.
Joe
Yeah, they did. Yeah, they absolutely look good. So hopefully, hopefully they can keep, hopefully they can keep that going. That'd be, that'd be real nice. I sure appreciate that.
Ocho
There you go. Here you go.
Joe
1, 2, 3, 4. I mean, Tennessee had five guys with other figures.
Ocho
Yeah, Tennessee getting it done, man. They representing sec.
Joe
Yeah. Cause you got what you got. Y' all ain't got that many still in there though. Y' all got Tennessee and y' all got Arkansas. Who else y' all got? I think that's it, Joe. Alabama. Alabama. Yeah. So y' all got three, cuz. Vandy's gone, Kentucky's gone.
Ocho
Yeah, that's all right. We got the, we got the winning team too.

Saint John oh my team beat Kansas 67 65. Despite shooting 36 from the field and nearly coughing up a 14 point lead. The Johnny's did enough to survive thanks to Dylan Darling's buzzer beater. Bryce Hopkins scored 18, added seven rebounds and most importantly drained a season high six of his nine three point attempts. St. John's defense also shut down Kansas for most of the game, forcing the Jayhawks in the 16 turnovers. The St. John's they head to the Sweet 16 to take on the number one overall seed seed Duke Blue Devils.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah, hey UN and Joe, that last shot, right, that buzzer beat off the glass, right? You hear me? Why he didn't, I mean not. Why not send him to the foul line and make him make both them shots as opposed to just let him, let him war you off and he the smaller, he the smaller, he the smaller person.
Joe
No, you ain't want nobody to go to the free throw line with no time on the clock because all they got to do is make one.
Uncle Ocho
I'd rather, I'd rather, I'd rather put Young Bull in that pressure situation as opposed to just let him hit the goddamn shot at the end of the game.
Ocho
That was.
Joe
But you do realize Ocho at that point he hadn't scored a point the whole game, right? He hadn't scored a point. That's like some, that's like Carson throwing somebody the game winning touchdown. He and he ain't caught a pass
Uncle Ocho
the whole day all game. Okay?
Joe
And so I mean if, if what's being if what Coach Pino said. He asked him what he wanted, and he wanted power, which means he wanted the ball in his hand.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Coach Patino looking at him like, bro, you got zero points.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
And you with the game on the line. Oh, okay. Go get. Go get it.
Ocho
Amen.
Joe
And you got big. You got the big. You got the conference player of the year on your roster. Edge of four.
Ocho
Edge of four.
Joe
I wonder if he any. Any came to Chewy tail.
Ocho
Hey, hey, that big boy Beast down there, too, man.
Joe
That dude, man, do you see how. How big he. Dude, look? He about six, nine.
Ocho
He is about six, nine. He is, man. Listen, St. John got some dogs over there.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah, he was ball.
Ocho
Hey, look, I ain't even just talking about the ball. I'm talking about the defense they played.
Joe
The intensity they were playing early on. They was. Oh, they was. How many times did they force them to turn, throw the ball out of bounds? Joe, on the. On the inbounds.
Ocho
There's one thing about great coaches, bro. They gonna have their teams ready to play. Give Rick Patino some credit because them boys came out with it on their mind. I'm talking about they busting through screens. You can't even screen dudes. They busting through screens, cutting their man out. Defensively. They. Oh, man, they locked in. Oh, they were so locked in. Oh, they got after them boys, man.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, buddy. Buddy, hit that shot. He made the layup right. Right in the buzzer. And the camera pan right to Coach. Well, he ain't show no kind of emotion.
Ocho
It's like, okay, he's been there, done that, man. Rick Patino. Rick Patino. Ocho, he done been there, done that, bro.
Joe
Yeah, he'd have been a lot of stops. You gotta think about it. He had this at Providence. I think he took Providence to the Final Four when he had Billy Donovan.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
He won the national championship with Kentucky. He won the national championship with Louisville. I think he went to Iona. I think he went to Iona after he kind of got.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
We had to reinvent himself.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Iona come back to St. John's now, back in the 80s, St. John's had a stick when they had Walter Berry. They had Chris Mullen. Chris Mullen, lefty boy, they had a stick. Coach Carnage, second with no sweaters. The big. The. The Big east, was it Big John, Coach Thompson, Coach Lou, Jim Boeheim. Boy, they had a stick.
Ocho
Yeah, they had it on locks.
Joe
And Coach Riley, Massimillo, Villanova. Because I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think one year they got all. They got three of them, four teams. Three of them was in the final four because Villanova Might have been 85 because Villanova ended up beating. Might have been 84, 85 because Villanova ended up beating Georgetown. When they shot that ridiculous number from the field, just like they couldn't miss, Ed Pinkney went crazy. That's when they had. I think they had Gary Mc. I think they had Gary McLean. But, man, yeah, it was. Yeah, Villanova. Ed Pinkney.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
But, boy, St. John's did it. But I was like, bro, I'm watching this, and I'm like, joe, I'm feeling good. We on 14, under five minutes.
Ocho
I'm like, really good.
Joe
I was like, yeah, we got this one, man. I look up, I say, todd, I say, come on, St. John, what'd you think? I just knew we had. This was gonna be a case.
Ocho
What'd you think about this potential number one pick, Darren Peterson? Oh, he.
Joe
Look, he can play, but I think people gonna look, you know, pull himself out of the game, be it, you know, where there's cramps, it's injuries, or whatever the case may be. I think they're looking. Because when I look at the Bonza, I'm looking at a guy that's six foot nine that already. That has a NBA body right now as we speak.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
And he. He doesn't have the issues. Give me. Give him a choice, Ocho, because I'm. I'm going to entrust you to lead my team. Right. I'm going to entrust you with 40, 50, 60, $70 million, and then hopefully I'll give you another. I'm gonna give you. In three, four years, I'm gonna give you $200 million. I'm taking the Bonza. That's just.
Ocho
He got.
Joe
He.
Ocho
He. He. Darren Peterson is a great talent.
Joe
He.
Ocho
I think he will be a top three pick.
Joe
I do. Yeah.
Ocho
And I think in. In. In some form, when he gets to the pros, Uncle Ocho, they'll teach him. Teach him on how to take care of his body, what he should put in, you know?
Uncle Ocho
Right.
Ocho
And things of that sort. So they don't necessarily worry me. I just want to know, does he really love the game? Does he really love competing? That's all I want to know, man.
Joe
Because if you. Yep.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, but Joe, you got to think about it, Joe. As good as Peterson is, Right?
Joe
Yes.
Uncle Ocho
You know, despite the. Despite the turmoil during the season, taking itself out, cramping up, whatever it may be, you got to love the game to get as good as he is, you have to love it. Especially when it comes to competing, especially at this level. You know, you're playing college ball and you regarded as one of the better, better players in the entirety of college basketball. That ain't no. That ain't no mistake, Joe. That ain't no accident.
Joe
So in those times, Ocho, you can have such God given ability. And we've seen. I've seen. I've seen guys that I don't. They don't love it. They just good at it. And I can make an honest living.
Ocho
Because at the end of the day, Ocho, in college, you playing 30, 32 games. When you get to the pros, bro, 82 games. It's a lot. And I'm telling you something, they already talk about the rookie wall like it's a lie, bro. I know they do the low management and all that, but man, mentally, physically, emotionally, it takes a lot on your body, bro, and not everybody can handle it. Yeah.
Uncle Ocho
And you know, the funny thing is too.
Joe
Huh?
Uncle Ocho
You know what I was gonna say too. Remember what you just said? Most of the time, what happens when players or people are blessed by God and they don't do the work? You know, you get exposed at some point anyway. Yeah, you get exposed, especially once you get to that next level.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Ocho
Once you get to that next. Once he gets to the NBA, if you don't love the game and put the work in like you got to.
Joe
Yeah.
Uncle Ocho
You ain't gonna be that long.
Ocho
It's real talk.
Joe
Yes, it's too. Because you got to realize, like in high school, you're like, okay, there's some good. But when you get to college, a lot of those guys were all state players. All those guys was all region, all county players. And as you keep moving up, guess what? There were a lot of. Okay, you a college player of the year. But guess what? On your own team, you might have had five college players. Heisman trophy winner, but Nerik, Thorpe, Blitnikov, Okay. If you don't put that work in. Cause look, everybody at the next level, regardless of what, where you how, what, how acclaimed you are, everybody at the next level can make you look foolish at a given game.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
A guy that you like. I ain't never heard of this guy before. Will light your butt up. Yeah.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
So if you don't go out there and be prepared. Now you look, man, he ain't no good. Nah, nah, he good.
Uncle Ocho
Yo.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Just handed it to him. Hey, you hear what sherm said. Sherm said. Man, I went out there, I ain't really know a whole lot about Stevie Johnson, Man. By 10 catches, 165 yards later, I knew a lot about Stevie Johnson.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, hey, boy. Stevie, the real deal, boy.
Joe
Yeah. And so.
Uncle Ocho
And.
Joe
And. And that's the thing. And plus, Ocho, you got to realize that once you get to the pros, ain't nobody telling you what to do. They don't tell you. They don't check and see if you go to study hall. They don't check and see if you go to class. They don't check and see if you working out. That's all you.
Ocho
So.
Joe
Yeah, that's all you. So. Now, if you don't see what happens when you don't love something, now all of a sudden, that. That. That. That dips.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Look at the guys that love it.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Ocho
See?
Joe
And people like, well. Well. Yeah, he care about horses. Look at yo Hitch on the sideline when things ain't going his way, and you tell me he don't love it. He yelling, he draw. He's trying to draw stuff up. Yes, absolutely. You got to look to be that great for an extended period of time. It ain't nothing to burst on the team. Oh, how many guys we don't see make the Pro bowl one year and we never hear from them again?
Uncle Ocho
From them again.
Joe
Yeah, it's easy to make it one time, but when you make the Pro bowl, you make all Pro. Guess what? The polling team gonna start game for your ass now. Let's see it when they know.
Ocho
Yes, sir.
Joe
Yeah, you the best receiver. Now you get our best cornerback. Now you get our undivided attention. Now you get coverage. It's called to stop your punk.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Yeah, Joe, you get the defense. They coming. Oh, we gonna trap Joe. We gonna blitz Joe. Hey, y', all, heads down. You show. Hey, don't let. Hey, he want to run that pick and roll. He gonna try to pin you. Hey, don't let Joe come out that pin down.
Ocho
Yeah, y.
Joe
See, I know Joe love that pin down.
Ocho
Now he go, hey, let me get a little separation. All I need is. All I need is a little crease oo that thing.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, just a little. Just a little space, Joe.
Ocho
Ooh, yeah.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, hey, hey. The hardest part about any sports you play at the highest level is about consistency.
Joe
Thank you.
Uncle Ocho
It's hard. It's hard. It's hard to be consistent. And the better you are, the better you are what you do, the more discipline you got to have. Joe, especially when it come to your
Ocho
craft, boy, man, what I found to be the toughest when you turn pro is showing up. You gotta show up every day, even on days you don't even feel like it. Uncle Ocho, you know what I mean? Not only do you gotta show up, but you gotta come ready to compete and play. And that's why I say, you know, through a six to eight month season, bro, you're not gonna wake up every day and wanna go out there and compete and wanna play or wanna go to practice. But you have to. This is part of it, you know? And the ones that love it, they look forward to that, you know what I mean? So that's my biggest concern.
Joe
I did, man. I look forward to go, man. I wanted to see the guys, Ocho. Cause I done worked on some new material, some jokes, so I can't. I couldn't wait to get to the locker room. Yeah, the bus rides. Being on that bus ride, Ocho, you know. Hey, Joe, I don't know how y' all did it, but you know everybody, man. What, Sean, what bus you getting on? I'm getting a bus too. Don't get on bus one. Because that's what the head coach is. That's what owner, his wife over there, man, we got coaches. The coaches trying to get on bus too. Cause they know we'll have that thing rocking. Going to the. Don't let us win. I'm boy, I'm Dave Chappelle. I'm Dave. Oh, I am Dave Chappelle. Even when the coaches. The coach is coming back. What y' all got going on back here? Don't worry about what we got going on back here. We got. Y' all already know we got some bull job going. Hey, man, you appreciate.
Ocho
You appreciate great teammates, bro. I'll tell you. I'll tell y'. All. One guy that really sticked out to me when I was in my young career, like second, third year, Bo Outlaw. I played with Bo Outlaw.
Joe
Okay.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, I remember Bo.
Ocho
Hey, man, Bo used to kick it. I'm talking about off the court and everything. But every day, Uncle Ocho, he showed up the same way. The same happy smile, cracking jokes, having a good time. I'm talking about. It wasn't the day he showed up and he was pissed off. I'm like, man, how this man, he first went in the weight room getting it, you know what I mean? Like, he was just a hard working dude and I learned so much from him, but he was a super cool dude, man. Me and Bo, really, we got Some real stories, boy. Bo, kick it, boy.
Joe
Because think about it. Your whole life, Ocho, you grew up. You and Joe, we all kind of grew up. Very, very similar situation. Yeah, your whole life, you dream man situation. God bless you with talent and put you in this situation. How could you not? That's what I don't get. How could you not? Everything you had asked for. Lord, please just let me be good enough. Let me be talented enough to make it to college. Let me make it to the NBA. Ta da. Here we are.
Uncle Ocho
Hey.
Joe
And now all of a sudden you get lazy. Cause you hear, man, the easy part is getting there. The hard part is staying there.
Uncle Ocho
So who as you hear, well, getting there, not easy either.
Joe
No, you think about it. It's easier to get there and stay than to get there, get out and try to get your ass back in.
Uncle Ocho
Back in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
What they say when you leave a sporting event? No re entries. That's the same with sports. You get your ass out of these leagues, it's hard as hell to get back in. Unless you got a homeboy working to let your ass in the side door. Yukon, number two Yukon. The Huskies beat the Bruins 7357. The wheel started to fall off at UCLA with a little more than five minutes remaining as UConn used a 9, 0 run to turn a four point lead into a 13 point cushion. The Huskies out rebounded them 36, 24. Outscored the Bruins in the paint 30 to 20. Yukon Sweet 16 opponent, the Spartans of Michigan.
Uncle Ocho
Michigan State.
Joe
Both two guys that coaches, they love to play defense.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Dom Izzo, Dan Hurley, they pride themselves on getting up into you and playing.
Ocho
It's gonna be a game number one. Only thing I don't like Yukon guard playing like that in Michigan State. They guard play is superb with. With little fears at the point guard for Michigan State.
Joe
But yeah, man, Caravan had it going today though.
Ocho
I know, that's what I'm saying. They got some, they got some wings,
Joe
they got some shooters now, but man,
Ocho
this is just hard. You look at their guard play like you get two points out of your two starting guards. It's hard to win an NCAA tournament like that, man.
Joe
It is, it is. It was, it was.
Ocho
They, it was.
Joe
They. Their front court, man.
Ocho
I'm talking about big time.
Joe
They got 27, 10, 17. And then Ross came off the bench and gave you 11.
Ocho
Yeah, but you, you need, you're gonna need contribution from a lot of these guys in different games. It's going to pose different challenges. So, you know, you had different guys stepping up in different games. So. Yeah, I. I like UConn. They, they, they. They play the right way, play hard, tough, and they got a winning pedigree.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, that young bull Caravan gonna have to put them boys on his back.
Ocho
He gonna need a look. You say
Joe
they play Michigan State?
Uncle Ocho
Michigan State.
Ocho
You're gonna need some help, O Joe.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah, you do. I mean, he had 27 tonight, but shoot, man, Reed ain't give him nothing. Ball ain't give him nothing. Oh, no, no. Reed had 10. Make sure ball. And Smith. I mean, shoot ball. Ain't had no point, Smith.
Ocho
That's what I'm saying.
Joe
Your guard played 1 for 7 and 0 for 5 from 3. No free throw attempts.
Uncle Ocho
You gotta be a little bit more aggressive, too, right? Yeah. Search yourself. Insert yourself in the game fast. Set the tone early.
Ocho
Because that's.
Uncle Ocho
You set that tone and that's the whole. That's the hard part, though, Joe. If your shot ain't falling early, then you hesitant. You got damn hesitant. Especially in the game, man.
Ocho
You play 32 minutes, you got to get up more than two shots.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
I'm just saying, bro, this.
Joe
This is.
Ocho
We just win or go home. You good? Hey, hey, if you lose that game, you go home with them little two points, you're gonna be mad as hell at yourself. Yeah, damn. I should have been, man.
Joe
I remember. I played. I played in the NCAA tournament. What'd you do, Man? I had two points. No, I had no points.
Ocho
I had.
Joe
I had two. Had two points on two shots. And the other guy had zero points. Right?
Ocho
Hey, listen, but they put Ross in.
Joe
Ross played 22 minutes, so, you know, I. I guess Coach Hurley looked early on and can see that he didn't have it going.
Ocho
So he put Ross in and he found out. So, yeah, Yukon gonna be there, bro. They keep some good talent over there.
Joe
Yeah, but they normally. Normally would be led by guards.
Ocho
I know. That's why I'm surprised. That's why I tell you.
Joe
You remember Shabazz Napier and they had a. What's the name?
Ocho
Kim?
Joe
Yeah, Ben Gordon. The Rip Hamilton. You know, they normally. They don't. Hey, you call Ray? They normally kill. They normally keep some guards, man.
Ocho
Yeah, they do, but, boy, they got one on their hand now against Michigan State. Zoom, boy.
Joe
Yeah. Arizona took down the number 9 Utah State 78, 66. Arizona Stellar Guard play once again on full display. Jaden Bradley Braden buries led the Wildcats in scoring with 18 and 16 points respectively. Once again, Arizona size And relentlessness. And I rebounded them. Utah State by 2753-26. On his way to a Sweet 16 for the third straight season, Arizona Sweet 16 opponent, Ocho, the Razorback, Arkansas.
Uncle Ocho
Oh, hey, hey, hey, Joe, what you gonna do with them with them trees down there?
Ocho
We sitting back, resting up. Hey, we getting ready. We finna. I already told you, we finna make this run. Man, this ain't nothing personal about Arizona. They just in the way right now.
Joe
You hear me?
Ocho
Yeah, they just in the way. They just. Man, we strictly bout business, homeboy.
Joe
We strictly.
Uncle Ocho
But you ain't. You ain't. You ain't asking me, though, what you gonna do by them trees that's gonna be in the paint at Arizona, man?
Joe
You.
Ocho
You seen that? You seen that guy we got on our team named a cuff? Did I tell you it's cuffing season? Man, that youngster there, man, he ain't letting us lose. Ojo. I'm sorry. And we got some bigs for they bigs. Yeah. We long, athletic, okay? You know what I mean? We grimy. We in your face. We gonna defeat.
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
Ocho
We tough. Yeah, okay. We relentless on defense. Offensively, we explode. We might score 100 points.
Joe
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ocho
We might score 100 points.
Uncle Ocho
What you playing? NBA 2K?
Ocho
All right. Okay. All right. Remember. Remember when we get. When we get back on him, I mean, I.
Uncle Ocho
Listen, I ain't wish you no bad juju. I support the team, but I'm just saying, scoring a hundred and I mean, not having to answer for the bigs down there in Arizona. I mean, just saying. Acuff is going to get it done. Take more than him. He gonna need something.
Ocho
I think you'd be hating on the low. Even when you watch us play. I think you'd be kind of hating. I know what you're telling me right now, but I think when you be sitting at home watching the game, you'd be rooting against.
Joe
Oh, he be rooting for the other team, Joe.
Ocho
Oh, you know that. Man, be rude against her. You already know what's going on. Didn't he come over here and act like he. Act like he down? Well, I know what's going on.
Uncle Ocho
I'm with you.
Ocho
I already know what's going on, man.
Joe
You already know how Ocho is. Ocho. Ocho go to somebody house and find out who they. All of a sudden he like, yeah, come on now. He for the other team automatically.
Uncle Ocho
I ain't like that. I ain't like that. You know, drive with Y' all boy as well, though, Joe.
Ocho
All right.
Uncle Ocho
I wanna see. I want to see the boy go far as possible. Yeah, listen, the better acup play in the tournament, the better his chances of. Well, he probably gonna be a lottery pick. He might sneak up there and go number two.
Ocho
Oh, he for sure gonna be lottery. I think he. I think he won. I think he's one player who can continue to. To increase his. His draft stock.
Uncle Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
In Arizona, man, they got the. Woo.
Ocho
They got some dog.
Joe
They got sides.
Ocho
They do, they do. They had good guard play today, huh? Yeah, we got something for that, though.
Joe
Y' all better keep. Y' all gotta keep them off the glass.
Ocho
Yeah, they got to keep us off the glass. They got to keep us out of transition. We probably. We top two, three fast breaking team in the ncaa. What y' all talk about? Hey, man, they got to worry about us, okay?
Uncle Ocho
Okay, Joe. I like the energy, Joe. That's good energy, boy.
Joe
That good energy.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
The number two boilermakers took down the Hurricane 79.69. Leave it to the seniors to bring home for Purdue.
Uncle Ocho
Man, they cheated.
Joe
Had a game high 24 points. Trey Copper Red had 19. Is the WC W2C Boilermakers back to the Sweet 16 for the third straight season. Purdue Sweet 16 opponent, the Longhorns.
Ocho
Hey, he didn't have him nine assists. I remember we betted that both gonna have him nine assists. He had eight. I mean, he didn't. He's supposed to get 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uncle Ocho
And it was. They were too much for the you, man.
Ocho
Yeah, the you fault, man. They fought hard. They had a great season. Purdue see teams like that, they just too disciplined. Okay, Ocho, you know what I'm saying? They ain't never gonna do nothing that's gonna beat themselves, bro.
Uncle Ocho
Right.
Ocho
57 from the field, 53 from the field, 57 from the three. Hell, you ain't beat nobody. No teams.
Joe
95 from the free throw line.
Ocho
Hey, listen, you ain't winning that game, brother. You let somebody shoot them percentages on you, it's a rap.
Joe
Nope. I mean, they would have shot better than that if Braden smith hadn't shot three for 12. Cause you got Kaufman, Ren, he's eight or 16. Clough was three or four. Do you got four or five? Six or seven? I mean, you got one guy was 02, Omar mayor. But if Braden Smith don't shoot three or 12, hell, they might shoot 60, 65% from the.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, this. Yeah, I know.
Joe
And he was on four from the three. From the three. So he killed him.
Ocho
It's just a bad time to have a bad defensive game in the NCAA tournament because you can't get this back, bro. It's a rap like you let a team shoot like this, you let them be comfortable, you let them run they sets and get what they want, get to their spots. You can't beat no team like that, bro. Damn.
Joe
The game that we flexed out of. The Alabama Crimson Tide beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders by the score of 90 to 65. Alabama going to Sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive time. Alabama went 19 of 42 from deep, the third most makes in any tournament game since 1987 when the three point line was introduced. Latrell White, right sale, led the team with 24 points while three other players scored in double figure. LeBaron Filon Jr. Had nine points, 12 assists, the second most assist by Alabama player in a tournament since 1984. Alabama's Sweet 16 opponent, the number one seed, Michigan Wolverine.
Uncle Ocho
Hey, Michigan got some trees down there too, boy.
Joe
They do.
Ocho
God, it's gonna start getting thick now. It's really started getting thick now. We finna get some real, real good games now. Alabama been tough. Texas Tech, Uncle Ocho, they lost their center who was a leading score and leading rebounder. He tore his ACL kind of late in the season. So it was going to be hard for them to, you know, stay afloat and continue to keep advancing. They do got a great guard. And look, Christian Anderson, he can play. He didn't have such a great game tonight, but for the most part he been holding it down throughout the season. But they just ran into a gritty, a gritty Alabama team, bro. Who is out of player. I don't think he they leading scorer, but I think he's one. I think he averaged 20 a game. It's a little guard, you know. He got into a little trouble.
Joe
Oh yeah? Yeah. Well, they got what, they got arrested. Had that scanion on him. Had like two and a half pounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He didn't have that. He have a disrespect.
Uncle Ocho
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Ocho
Yeah, they. So he, he, they got him out of there.
Joe
He couldn't play.
Ocho
He probably done.
Joe
Yeah, He might be playing with a team with stripes on,
Ocho
boy.
