22:30Shannon Sharpe:You automatically assumed that. But this is why you lined it up. This is why you throw the ball up in there. This is why you kick the ball off. And this is why you send someone to the mound. Because you don't know what's going to happen. And it's one game. It's not a series. It's not the best three out of five. It's not the best four out of seven. is not the best two out of three. It's one game. In a one game, it's not who is the better team. Who plays the best on a given day, on a given night? That determines it. And we like to see this because I like to see – I like to think my team has a chance.

23:01Yeah.

23:02Shannon Sharpe:And in one game, they do. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. This is why people pay so much attention. Because you know, even though a team may be a higher seed than you, them seeds really don't really matter, bro. Now when they throw that ball up and we get in between them lines and we start competing, it's going to be your will versus mine. Mm-hmm. Oh. Oh. Oh. I got Arizona. I got Arizona advancing. I got Arkansas advancing. Discover a spectacular island destination with crystal blue seas, endless sunshine, and the cool Bahamian breeze.

I got Purdue advancing. Well, wouldn't them brackets look like that?

27:22Shannon Sharpe:It ain't looking good. It ain't looking good.

27:28Shannon Sharpe:yeah if arkansas continue to win joe it's gonna be hard for us to catch joe hey but who you me or you both of y 'all both of us oh no i don't know about that because he already substantial ahead and he got arkansas because he's think about it ocho you got arizona cutting down the nets if arkansas beats arizona you got no chance of winning the the title. Yeah, okay. Hey, Joe, listen. It ain't nothing personal. It's just business. I'm going for the Wildcats. Oh, man. Hey, listen. I love you like a little brother, man. I'm just saying this business ain't nothing personal. This ain't nothing personal.

28:07What you did to me on Monday and you come back on Saturday is what you going to do? Hey, listen. Like they say. Like they say. You never think about the past. You always worry about the future. Okay. Huh? If you dwell on the past, that mean you ain't doing nothing in the present. That mean you treading water. I got you. I got you. That mean you treading water. You got to be going forward. Hey, look. I knew you was an op from day one, though. Damn, Joe. I knew you was an op from day one. I ain't going to see you that hold you and act like I'm surprised. I already knew. See, I already know you're kind.

28:38I know how you move. I know how you operate. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You hear me? So it don't surprise me that you're going against the grain. Yo, I'm not going against the grain. I'm trying to win my goddamn bracket, Joe.

28:54Shannon Sharpe:number 11 Texas takes down number three Gonzaga by the score 74-68 Texas with four guys with double figures Mataz, Pope, Swain and Cody all had double figures and points they overcame Graham Ike Ike I guess not how you say his name Ike or Ike how they overcame his 25 points. The difference, you know, bench points played a role. But it was a good game. Texas played well. I mean, watching Texas a little bit this year, I was like, ain't no way they're beating Gonzaga. Yeah, I didn't think so neither. They're another SEC team, a team that I've seen play a few times this year, especially against my Razorbacks.

29:40I didn't see this neither, guys. But they played well. This is why, like I keep saying, we in March, neutral site. Yeah. No home court advantage. Yep. Seeding don't matter.

29:54Shannon Sharpe:I mean, both teams took care of the ball. Texas had five turnovers. Gonzaga had seven. The rebounds were very close, 34-29 in Gonzaga's favor. Assists was close, 21-20. Steals were 5-4. Blocks was 2-1. Offensive rebounds were 9-4. Nine to five, excuse me. So, yeah, I mean, you get a close ball game. So it was the type of game that we thought we would get. But I didn't think Texas, you know, given their health to Skelter, their up and down season, I didn't see Texas playing this well and winning this ball game. I ain't either. But you look at their field goal percentage on 52 % Texas shot. That's, hey, hey, hey, I don't care who you playing.

30:40You let them shoot 52 % from the field, you're going to lose a lot. You're going to lose the majority of them games, brother.

30:48Shannon Sharpe:That's why I was surprised about the other team. They shot, well, what you call it, we see why they won. They shot 56 % from the four, 47 % from the three. And I was like, how was the game even that close for it to come down to a heave that could have also lost you the ball game? Who does Texas play next? They play the one on Miami-Purdue.

31:10Shannon Sharpe:Should be a good ball game. Miami-Purdue. Miami produce you'll be a very, very, very good ball game. Texas has 11 NCAA tournament wins of the double-digit C, the most of any program since the seeding began in 1979. Okay. 1979. Everybody knows that's the bird magic. That was in – I think they ended up playing in Salt Lake City.

31:36In the championship.

31:39Shannon Sharpe:That's what really put it on the map. The NCAA championship. That put Mark Madness on the map. prior to that ain't nobody care but you know what you got that was a couple of years after Roots came out and you had everybody pull for this guy and everybody pulling for that guy hey hold on a couple years after what Roots came out oh but you bring back some good memories boy yeah Roots and they bring back some good memories cause they had a lot of fights in high school they brought some memories they like hey I don't know why y 'all put that on y 'all causing problems in our neighborhood. Hold on.

32:15We had to watch it in class. You watch yours in class?

32:18Shannon Sharpe:We watch it at home then. We ain't watch it at home. What? Boy, they had to cancel school. Boy, there was so many fights going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had to watch y 'all in school. You talking about watching it in class? The last thing, they didn't want you to watch it at home. It was history class too for me, huh? And then obviously we had to watch it. It was not series. What do you call them? Multiple. There was a mini series. Mini, yeah. Oh, yeah, okay. miniseries. So we had to write a paper on it. And man, listen.

32:54Shannon Sharpe:Duke Blast TCU. About a score of 81 to 58. It's a tale of two halves for Cameron Boozer. In the first two points, he was 0-1 on the first half. Two points on 0-1 field goal and plus or the minus, plus minus of minus five in 15 minutes. In the second half, he was 17 points on seven of nine shooting plus 20 in 19 minutes. Joe, he got it going in the second half. And as you can see, they had it going. They didn't need him to do a whole lot. But, I mean, they shot 55 % from the floor. They shot 87 % from the two-point, the free-throw line, excuse me, 20 of 23 from the free-throw line because they're so big.

33:37Shannon Sharpe:Man, they're tall teams. Huge, boy. I mean, hey, and they get offensive rebounds. They get put back. You ain't got no choice but to foul them. And the Horned Frogs were overmatched. And, man, Boozer, he's something. Hey. He's something. He started off slow, Uncle Joe. Yeah. But, boy, he made Cam Boozer make that thing look so easy in that second half. Yeah. Yeah. I think. The problem is that when he's struggling, you got to put some separation between you. Yeah. You can't be down and he's struggling like he's struggling. He's giving you 22 and 10 on the season. You got him at two points. You better, hey, you better be, you need to be in front of them by about six to 10 points.

34:19Yeah. I agree. I agree. What I noticed was Glenn for me is that, you know, he averaging what, 20, what are you averaging, 22 again? 22 and 10. Even though he only had two points in that first half, Uncle Ocho, it wasn't like he was like one for eight, one for nine. You know what I mean? He finished 7 for 10 from the field. So he was patient. And in the second half, he turned it up. Man, that's poise from a young guy, a young freshman, who I think is going to have a tremendous pro career. I mean, he a monster down there, bro.

34:53Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. He, you know, he got the body type. Hell, he already built like his dad. Yeah. He already built like booze. And you think he better than pops at this stage? Coming out right now, yes. Right now, yes. Now, will he be a better pro? I don't know. Bruce was an all-star. Yeah. Turned himself as a second-round pick, ended up getting a big-time deal from Utah. Yeah. I don't know what he'll be. Will he be better than his dad? But if you were to project him right now, if you look at him right now, he's definitely better than his dad as a freshman, hell. His dad didn't come out. But as a freshman, yes.

35:30Shannon Sharpe:Is he a better college player than his dad? Yes. Will he be a better pro than his dad? that remains to be seen. But this kid can flat out damn play. Yeah, he can play. It's nothing flashy about his game. Like, ain't nothing going to jump off the screen. Yeah. Kind of on some Tim Duncan type stuff. You know what I mean? Like, he just get it done, bro. It may not look as pretty to some, but it's effective. It's effective. Yeah. Yes. And with Duke, I mean, you got Malik Brown gave you 12. You got Sar gave you 14. And Evans gave you 17. Even Caden Boozer, who had an outstanding game the first round, he gave you nine.

36:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. They got 10 points. I mean, they don't really depend on their bench. It's those starters that you have to worry about. Yeah, everybody was in double figures except one person. Mm-hmm. And so that's what you have to worry about with Duke. They come at you. Look. Look at TC. For them to convince those guys to play together because, look, All these guys are four and five stars. All these guys were the guy at their prospective schools. Now for the greater good, we need you to sacrifice. It's a lot easier said than done. Because everybody thinks they got an opportunity to be a damn lottery pick, a top five pick.

36:48Hello.

36:48Shannon Sharpe:I can't be no top five pick. I need to get me like 15 and 10, 15 and 8, 20 and 8. Are you talking about share the ball? Hey, nah, nah, uh-uh, uh-uh. And, you know, some of these guys, Joe, probably average 25 and 15, 30 and 8. What you talking about? In high school. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's the difference. That's the difference. See, in high school, you can be the best because you might be playing with less talent. You know what I mean? Right, yeah. Once you get to college, power five, bro, everybody on the team talented. Yeah. You know what I mean? The cream going to rise to the top.

37:24But for the most part, I just feel like when you get to college, you can kind of see the separating factor of a lot of guys. You know what I mean? And guys who really got that it factor, they start to show it. And it shows up in close, tight games, bro.

37:38Shannon Sharpe:And you go to Duke. You was a guy in college. You hear me? Yeah, they ain't just. I mean, just like any time. You go to the big time. You go to Ohio State. You go to Alabama. You go to Georgia. You can play in high school. You're a damn good high school player. They ain't just giving no armor. Now, look, they might have one or two guys that they did a favor to for this big booster or somebody got a legacy scholarship or something like that. Right, yeah. But for the most part, they top 80 guys. Yeah. They legit. Yeah, yeah. Well, obviously, you don't have that many guys in basketball. These guys can play.

38:10Oh, yeah, yeah.

38:12Shannon Sharpe:Ain't no one star. Walk on, he come out there on senior night, and his dad says, I'm proud of you, son, because you stuck it out for four years. Yeah. You ain't getting that one. Hey, hey, hey, you don't get that no more. and look, hey, you think you're going to come in here and it's going to be smooth sailing? Them dudes put in work. We did a training camp when I played for the Brooklyn Nets. We did a training camp in Duke. And man, they got an NBA facility, bro. This ain't no peewee stuff. You hear me? Look, the guy, you go to those programs. You know why you go there. Yes, I can get a great education.

38:55Shannon Sharpe:In a year? In a year? I'm trying to get to the age level. You ain't trying to be there. You not going to stay there long enough to graduate. Now, you might eventually go back and take online classes and get your degree. But you ain't get no damn degree in no one year. Right. You look at all them guys. They one and done. Kyrie, one and done. Cooper Flagg, one and done. Zion, one and done. Ingram, one and done. Tatum, one and done. Tuneple, one and done. I got one for you. It ain't like it used to be with Christian Laettner. They stay in four years. Grant Hill, Thomas Hill, all those guys. It ain't like that no more.

39:29Shannon Sharpe:It was different back then. Them guys gone. I'm coming to Duke. You know why I'm coming. Because I remember, hey, I remember the coaches talking about, they mess up your program. I ain't recruiting no one and done. Okay. John said, I'll take them all. Coach Cal said, I'll take them all. Right. Can't beat them, join them. You're right. Hey, son, you want to be one and done? Come on. Right. Hey, you got to be the gateway to the league. You got to fall in line. You know, you got to keep up with the Joneses. These young dudes ain't trying to be in school no more than one year. Whether they tell you that or not.

40:04Yeah, you got to be special though now.

40:06Shannon Sharpe:I just left school for 12 years. I was in school how long? You think I want to do this? I want another foe? Absolutely not. Man, I'm trying to get this thing. I'm going to class until after the new year. When the new year hit, I'm done. Uncle Joe, who the best to come out of Duke? Who the best Duke Devil to come out of there and play at the next level? You talking about just as a college player? Yeah. Christian Laidner. Christian Laidner, yeah. Damn, y 'all answered that fast. Yeah, as a college player? Now you talking about who transitioned and became a pro. That remains to be seen. Probably Grant Hill had the highest ceiling.

40:51Shannon Sharpe:Right. But he got hurt because Grant could do it all. He was LeBron before LeBron. Right. A guy that's 6 '8", could handle the ball, could initiate the offense, was an outstanding defensive player, could score the basketball. He was going to be sensational. Obviously, injuries robbed him of that. Yeah. But as a college player, it ain't even close. Yeah. Ain't nobody at Duke close to Christian Laettner. I got a question. I got a question. Obviously, we know what Kyrie can do in the NBA. I didn't watch college. I didn't watch college basketball back then. So how far was Kyrie from what he is in the NBA as opposed to when he was at Duke?

41:22Was he far off or you could already tell him?

41:24Shannon Sharpe:You got to realize Kyrie got hurt. Kyrie only played like maybe 15 games. Yeah. That's it? Yeah, he got hurt. He got hurt. He hurt his foot. Ocho, he got hurt and still went number one. Yes, that's how special he was. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. But when he played, now he played in the second half of the season, Ocho. Now he's out there getting money. and he wasn't out there in his bull driving now. Yeah. Man, y 'all need to stop. Where happened? As a college player, wasn't nobody close to Christian Laiton. Wait, who they should? Not as a college player. You can make a case that Christian Laiton is a top five college player of all time.

41:58Shannon Sharpe:Back-to-back national championship, they took down the mythical team in a UNLV. Yeah. I don't know if y 'all remember that Saturday when they played LSU. Do y 'all remember what they did to the Fab Five? Man, y 'all better give that man his credit. I'm not saying what he transitioned into. I'm talking about as a purely college player. Ain't nobody touching him at Duke. The Chats said no. They talking about Grant Hill. Grant Hill was the second option to Christian Laettner. Bobby Hurley was the second option. Thomas Hill was the second option. Although Christian Laettner and the shot that he hit against Kentucky.

42:31Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, I remember that. I remember that. He was real. He was real. He was real. He was real. No, Christian Laettner was really good. I couldn't stay in Duke. That joke of there. Nobody can stand dude. But you know. That dude there. Now, if you talk about like transition, like the ability, he wasn't fast. He couldn't jump. But that joker just did everything right. Man, that joker back door you up and under, get your and one. Got you big and foul trouble like damn. Yeah, yeah. Somebody beat them. Yeah. And I was so happy when you and I beat them, beat the brakes off them in the national championship.

43:10Shannon Sharpe:and then the next year they come back and I bet, damn, they didn't beat UNLV in the national championship because we knew that was going to be the national championship right there. And then he followed up again and got it back to back. Yeah. When's the last time you saw an NCAA team go back to back? Hell, Duke might be the last team to go back to back. Florida. Florida. Florida. I'll hold for Florida. Florida. Florida, what, 06, 07? Yeah. Yeah. that's hard to go back to back Yoakim Noah Corey Brewer they had a nice squad

43:54yeah

43:55Shannon Sharpe:man it's hard to go back to back yeah it ain't like it used to be where guys actually stayed all four years them guys gone I won a national championship, and I'm the guy. I mean, for Al Horford and Akeem and Brewer, for them to come back and try to do it again? Yeah. Boy, they really love the college life, guys. You hear me? Most of them guys, they gone. Because they weren't even getting NIL back then. Hell no. I mean, for what we know. Man, I... UConn went back-to-back, right? Did UConn go back-to-back? Did it?

44:44Yeah.

44:45Shannon Sharpe:So UConn went back-to-back 23-24. Florida went back-to-back, what, 06-07. And then did anybody go back-to-back in the 90s other than Duke? No, my Razorbacks, they went to the championship game back-to-back, but we lost to UCLA in 95. In 95, yeah. That's when they had the O 'Bannon boy. Yep, yep. And Ty's Edney, right? Yep. Yep. You know a little something, something, don't you? That boy be locked in over there, don't you? Yeah, man. You know y 'all had Todd Day and Cornish Williams. Y 'all had a lot of little quad, though. Yeah, they had some hard-working boys, boy. Yeah. But, hell, Coach Richardson, you had to have no choice but to be hard-working.

45:30Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. Houston, number two, Houston Cougars beat Texas A &M 88-57. The Cougars freshman Chris Sennac, Jr., continued to play well, finished with 17 points, 9 rebounds, as they out-rebounded the Aggies 46-29. And Big 12 all-defensive selection, Emmanuel Sharp, now my cousin, put together a complete performance with a game high, 18 points. Nah, he ain't got the E on his name. Cougars forced the Aggies to 11 turnovers and just 35 % shooting. Hey, Joe Sampson got them boys playing now. Hey, they play. Did Texas A &M leave their game at home? What the? I mean. Hey, Joe, Texas A &M, they couldn't get nothing going.

46:11They damn, they ain't had nobody in no goddamn double figures except one person. They only the other way. Hey, but I'm going to tell you all something. Unc, you right. Coach Sampson be having them boys roll, and they play defense. That's why you see Texas A &M only with 57 points. Them boys, hey, they don't play. They got some dogs under that basket. Didn't nobody really just stand out. I know Sharp played well. but Flemons didn't really do a whole lot. That's their freshman phenom, but they got a win. I mean, they ain't even...

46:42Shannon Sharpe:You know who played well? Who? Master P's son Mercy. He was stroking it. Yeah, I seen him call out the bitch. 22 minutes, 12 points. He can shoot it. He said he can shoot it. Now, I mean, people send me videos of this kid when he's at, I think he was at Notre Dame. Oh, yeah? High school, yeah. I see he be out there working in LA with Chris Johnson. Yeah, he can play. Yeah, Houston tough. Hey, they gonna beat her at the end of the day. When you're talking about being in the thick of Houston gonna beat her. They relentless, bro. Yeah. They relentless. They on the defensive end. Yeah. Wasn't Coach Samson, didn't he coach in Oklahoma?

47:23Shannon Sharpe:He coached the Griffin. Didn't he coach Blake Griffin in Oklahoma? Yeah, he coached in Oklahoma. He coached in Oklahoma. They ain't play no defense like this. No, sir. Hey, hey. And he playing he playing 11, 12 guys. I mean, he playing 13, 14 guys. But the thing is, when you play that hard, you can't play them guys that many minutes. You got to be deep. And you got to have attention. Because you're asking guys to pick up 94 feet, Joe. Mm-hmm. You're asking an awful lot. And I understand these guys are young. They're 17, 18, 19 years old. And when you know you're 17, 18, 19, you could run all day.

48:01Shannon Sharpe:but to play in the tournament, to play because it's such a quick turnaround, it's only a day rest in between. Yeah, when you get to them, you know, especially like the first round and the second round, they play like two games a round, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's tough. But when you got a week off like this, you can regroup. Oh, you good? Yeah, we get back to the drawing board, man. Hey. You don't feel good a little good. You don't go back there, feel a little good. and everybody pat you on the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't relax, though. Don't relax. We got to stay locked in. Woo pig, now. Yeah, we're really good.

48:39Shannon Sharpe:Okay, I'm going to lock in, Joe. I'm going to lock in on Monday. But right now, I get back home. You know, something cracking. Hey, listen, listen, listen, listen. We take care of this tournament now. Hey, in June, we all be at the draft now. Hey, hey, let's stay locked in now. Hey, if A-Cuff said, hold on. Hold on. Oh, Joe, you know what I'm saying? As soon as the tournament over, I'm leaving. I'm about to go out for it. My agent already got me a coach. Hey, I understand that, but you got like two, three more of the guys on this team who can go with you now. Yeah, okay. Oh, Joe, you know you was gone.

49:10Shannon Sharpe:After the tournament, you was gone, Joe. You didn't stick around in Arkansas. Well, Chinese man, one gone. I'm out. I was gone. Hey, hey, I'm out of there. Listen, Arkansas, I did what I came to do, bro. I ain't going to lie to y 'all. I came to school for basketball. That's it. Hell yeah. Hey, what's your major? Eligibility. Right. That's my major. Right, right. Well, I ain't going to lie to you. Hey, I didn't get no academic scholarship. I came to play football. That's it. So as long as I can stay eligible to play football, hey, I'll be all right. I tell you, I'm trying to tell you. Hey, well, you think y 'all going to load me up with all these 23, 24 hours a day, boy, please?

49:53Mm-mm.

49:55Shannon Sharpe:Oh, sir. We go to the quarter system, though. so it was different. Y 'all was on the semesters. I don't know what it's like. We had quarters, so we had three quarters. Three quarters, I'm saying, so you went to class every day though, right? Every day. Every day. Hey, Ong, that quarter system, what is that? It's six or eight weeks. Something like that, Ocho. Yeah. Because we had fall quarter, winter quarter, spring. Right. And you know, I don't know, maybe they do now, but HBC, when I was in, Savannah State didn't play for no summer school.

You got practice. You got, you know, homework, study. Study hall.

59:16Shannon Sharpe:That's it. We ain't have no study hall. No. No, we had study hall. We wasn't going to no study hall. No, you had to go to study hall at the University of Arkansas. Yeah. I don't care if you went in there and took you a nap and sat down and read a book. As long as you in there. You got to be in there. Man, look here. That costs money. Huh? Because you had somebody to oversee study hall. Oh, yeah. They didn't have that, Joe. They didn't have that, it's a matter of fact. I'm not saying what they might not have now. I'm just saying from 86 to 89, no, no, no. No, no, no. And the thing was, on Friday, because you know, during the season, we travel on Friday.

59:59Yeah. Yeah.

1:00:03Shannon Sharpe:So, you got to go by, get your home, get your homework, get your work what you got to be doing, that you might have, that you got to meet. Boy, it was rough. I was like, Lord, have mercy. Man, hey. I said, I got to, I said, man, I got to, I got to get on, get this thing here, man. I remember them days. I got to work out. I remember them days. Yeah. Hey, hey, boy. I got to work out. Yeah. I was a good student, though. I was a good student. I just didn't apply myself in high school. Yeah. Same. I'm a fool. That's me. Same. But. No, no, no. We ain't have no film study. That was the thing, Ocho. I think I watched maybe two films in college.

1:00:42Shannon Sharpe:Two pieces of film in college. Wow. You haven't watched the HBCU, Ocho. Everybody play man. What no zone defense? Everybody play man. Wasn't no point in watching nothing then. What?

1:00:57Shannon Sharpe:I think we watched Georgia Southern my senior year and we watched Central Florida my sophomore year. That was the only time we watched film.

1:01:09That was it. Ocho, you watched film in college? Yeah. At Oregon State, yeah. Definitely. And then once I got to the NFL, I was a rat, boy, when it came to watching film.

1:01:24Shannon Sharpe:I ain't know how to watch film. What the hell am I looking for? What am I supposed to be looking for? I'm watching like, what am I looking for? Hell no! You learn what to look for once you got to the next level. Once they told me what I'm looking for. Because I was a tight end. Now I got to learn the front. You got an over front, you got an under front. An over front, they got four down linemen. An under front, they got the down linemen and they got a linebacker on the ball. A 3-4, they got three down linemen, two linebackers. four linebackers actually they got a mic they got a will a sam a mic and a plug so okay now you got an under okay he in a wide nine he's in a cowboy which is a slight nine okay he's in a seven he's in a five he's in a shade he's in a tilt he's in a cock man come on man okay shannon in this front right here they like to play this coverage okay okay so okay let's try to tie a coverage to a front.

1:02:25Shannon Sharpe:They don't play this coverage in the under front. They only play this coverage to an over front. So now, I come down, I don't see a lineback on the ball. It's an over front. Okay? They told me they don't play this coverage to an over front. They play this coverage to an under front. So now I got a head start on the road. I said, okay. I feel good, don't you? I go to the line like, yeah. Y 'all are my under. I know what y 'all is. Y 'all ain't going to play this coverage. I'm feeling good about myself. Oh, Joe. Then all of a sudden, they start off in an over front, and then here come the linebacker walking his ass up on the line to an over, to an under front.

1:03:01Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Lord. Damn. What courage they like to run in this under front?

1:03:09Shannon Sharpe:So once I got the hang of it, I'm like, okay, I got it now. I got it. I didn't get the hang of it until year two, Joe. Joe went on. Yeah. understanding what I'm watching. Yeah. And once I got an understanding of what the defenses were doing and knowing what my assignments is and understanding where the danger is based on each play and based on each coverage. Yeah. Yo, that's when the entertainment and the shit talking started. Like toward the end of year two. Yeah. That's when I started to feel a little bit more confident because it don't matter what you do. I know exactly. Once that ball hike, I know where every, I call it, I call it my red area.

1:03:48My red area is where it's dangerous. based on the route concepts that we run in. So I know once that ball snaps, I know exactly what each and every person got to be. Yep. So I can just go out there and play freely and I don't have to think. Yeah. If I had to think, nah, I ain't doing nothing. Shit. Hey, hey, hey. And basketball, it's different. Hey, look, look, my rookie year, see, I wanted to play so bad, I had to know all of the commands hands, plays, and that was the hardest thing because as a rookie, your opportunity's going to come few in between. You know what I mean? You ain't going to get many, but the ones you do get, you want to make them count.

1:04:30You got to make it happen. Man, y 'all should see me. They've been to Drew two plays up in the huddle. I come out there and I'm like, damn, what did he say we got?

1:04:40Shannon Sharpe:Joe, that's me.

1:04:45Joe, that's me, old Joe. Joe, that's me. They had to run past me. Hey, come on. Get over there in the corner. What are you going to go through? I'm like, okay.

1:04:56Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, they put me in motion. Yeah. They put me in motion. I go by the quarterback. I stop. What I got again now? What damn is it? God. I got it.

1:05:13Hey.

1:05:14Shannon Sharpe:Hey. Oh. Hey. Hey, but that's funny, bro. Man, they used to cloud me. They used to say, hey, Steve, I want to say, Sharp, you know damn well you didn't know that play when you left the damn huddle. Why you let that man go through that cadence? And then you talking about he ready to snap the ball and you talking about what you got. You know you didn't know what you had before you left the huddle. That's funny, bro. Man, that thing was so embarrassing, man, Ocho. Man, man, I swear. I did not. I said, man, ain't no way this man like me. This man done cussed me, done called me. I said, Lord, have mercy.

1:05:51Shannon Sharpe:I said, I know I'm not this dumb. Why I can't remember these damn plays?

1:06:00Shannon Sharpe:They like, Sheldon, we can't put you in there because you don't. Son, you don't know what to do. I mean, you athletic, you big, you fast, you strong, you willing, you a block. But son, you don't know what to do. I know that feeling, boy. I was a man. I used to call my brother, man. I'd be crying on the phone. He said, bro, what's wrong? I said, man, I just can't. I can't learn this issue. He said, man, you putting too much pressure. Shannon, you can learn. Yeah. He said, share. He called me share. He said, share. Just relax. You putting too much pressure on yourself. You're okay. Hey, just, hey, you remember, think about all the stuff we used to do.

1:06:47Shannon Sharpe:You memorize everything. Everything. Memorize that playbook. Memorize that playbook like you memorize all the other book jazz. I tell you, I tell you what my grandma used to tell me. How about you memorize whatever you got to do, especially when I come to school, the same way you memorize them goddamn raps. Hello. Yep. Huh? Hello. You know every goddamn lyric there. You know every lyric there, every goddamn song. but she don't know what the hell you're supposed to be goddamn doing in school. Nope. You know, high school is bad. I just couldn't, man, I owe you. I couldn't get it. I was like, Lord, have mercy.

1:07:20Shannon Sharpe:I said, I know I'm not dumb. I said, I know I'm not dumb. I mean, I'll be playing, hey, I'll be playing Jeopardy. I'll pretend I got the clicker. I'm stopping. I'm getting them right and guessing. The man told me to play. I can't remember the damn play. but boy once you get it they messed up and they let me get the plays the mistake that they made is that I had I was able what got me though is that Ocho you know they move you around I'm a Z but I also got to learn slot and now I also got to learn the X you see you have to understand Ocho the tight end is X in Dan's offense it's not Y right So now, the Z receiver is a wing.

1:08:12Shannon Sharpe:The Y is the X receiver. Come on, man.

1:08:24Shannon Sharpe:This don't make no sense. Everybody know the Y is the tight end. The Z is the receiver to the tight end side. and the X is on the ball on the weak side. Why you do all this? Whatever, man. Y 'all don't want me to play. That's what y 'all do. Y 'all change this because y 'all didn't want me to play. I'm coming up with every excuse, guys, why I can't learn this damn playbook. There's too many plays, bro. Man, what Joe would tell you, Joe, what they install on Monday, what you don't get, they go on the Tuesday. What you don't get on Tuesday, They go on the Wednesday. They go on the Thursday. They go on the Friday.

1:09:06Shannon Sharpe:They go on the Saturday. And then they're going to come back and put some of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday into Sunday. You don't fall behind now. Don't miss a day. Boy, it's going to be hell. But one thing about it, Joe, once you know what you're doing, once you're comfortable with the offense, you know, you've been with a team for a year or two or maybe three. Yeah. You're comfortable and then you can play freely. You don't have to think. and you just recall, boom, he called that play, you come out the huddle and you already got a plan in your head on what you got to do based on what they put out there in front of you.

1:09:40Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Man, it's one of the greatest. Michigan State beat Louisville 77-69. Jeremy Fierce cemented his place in Michigan State history as the Spartan marched on to the Sweet 16 with a win over Louisville. With 16 assists, Fierce became the first Big Ten player in the last 50 years with 27 dishes over two games in the NCAA tournament span. passing Magic Johnson 25 in the 1979 Sweet 16 and the Elite 8. Fears 16 assists, also the most by a Big Ten player in an NCAA tournament game in the last 50 years. Michigan State looked good. They did. You know, Louisville is missing their freshman phenom. I forgot his name.

1:10:29he probably going to be a top 10, top 12 pick, Uncle Ocho. Yeah. He didn't play. He hadn't played in the NCAA tournament for whatever reason. I like Michigan State because they play hard and they hang their head on defense. They going to scrap. That's always Izzo's staple. There you go. You know Izzo. They take on the mantra of the coach, bro. They play hard. They scrappy. You know, they don't give up nothing easy. They got great guard play, which could take them a long way. but I don't know offensively. They don't really have that scoring power that you need to kind of advance. I think they play great defense, but when you play against some great guards, the game's going to be a lot different.

1:11:12Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Man, that car, he got some ups. He's looking to flush everything. He's looking to poke on everybody. Hey, okay now. Like you're going to block somebody, you're going to be on this poster. That man scratching his back with that basketball. You hear me? Yeah, he scratching his back. Everything is caught. Yeah, he nasty. He nasty. He nasty. He can get up. He can get up. Michigan State look good, though. They look good. 16 assists. That's a lot of assists in college. There ain't no record or nothing? No. I don't think so. What's the most NCAA record for assists in a game? Yeah. Man.

1:12:05Shannon Sharpe:Well, you know, the NBA record is 30 by Scott. Scott Scowls. Scott Scowls, Orlando. Yeah. One game? Yeah, one game. Somebody going to pass that one day, though. Oh, 19 in a tournament game, Joe. Who has it? 14-0 in Kansas City. I had no idea. I don't know who this is. I have no earthly idea. Yeah. Well, Rondo was close. Rondo had a couple of 24. I think Rondo had like a 26. Yeah. Hey, you're going to have to have some boys who can fill it up, who playing with you. I know that. Yeah, they got to be able to shoot. Joe, they probably take you out. What's that? They probably take you out because you're going to have a big – once you get like 20 or six, you're probably blowing somebody out, Joe.

1:12:53Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I know. You probably post somebody out. Unless everybody's shot's falling, though, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Unless you come down and you got about 15, 16 in the first half assists. Yeah. I'm going for it then. You got to get off to a great start, man.

1:13:19Yeah.

1:13:19Shannon Sharpe:The difference in the ballgame, I mean, Louisville went to the free throw line six times, and Michigan State went to the free throw line 19 times.

1:13:31Shannon Sharpe:So you got a plus 10. You got a plus 10 just on foul shots. Yeah. Yeah. Louisville's shorthanded. It's just tournament time, man. If you ain't full strength, them weaknesses are going to get exposed real quick. Yep.

1:13:52What?

1:13:56Shannon Sharpe:Michigan beat St. Louis the Billikens the Wolverines had nine blocks their most in the NCAA tournament game since blocks were first tracked in 1985-86 and the Billikens were out-rebounded 42-27 Lindenburg scored 25 points what'd they call him the something LeBron? what'd they call Lindenburg? became the first Michigan player with 25 plus points and no turnovers in the NCAA tournament game since Glenn man Glenn man I don't even want to talk about Glenn because, man, that Joker got so goddamn hot, Joe Ocho and Joe in 1989. Yeah. Because that's when they ended up firing their coach because he took a job and he wanted to stay on a coach.

1:14:36Shannon Sharpe:And Bo Schenbergler, who's an athletic director, said, nah, we want a Michigan man to coach a Michigan team. So they gave it to the assistant coach. And, man, that's when they had Glenn Rice and Terry Mills. I think Romel Robinson was on that team also. But boy, Liam Robinson? He went off. Cooked every, I think, every 30 in the tournament. They ain't winning, did they? Yes. Did they? Yes. Yeah, they called him the Dominican LeBron. That's what they called Lindenburg, the Dominican LeBron. Michigan now has the first Big Ten team to record back-to-back NCAA tournament games with 90 plus points since winning the title in 1989.

1:15:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Michigan got some boys over there, boy. Look at what Glenn Roberts had in 1989. Oh, that man, that man, because I was a Tar Heel fan. Man, they cooked the Tar Heels. That's where they had J.R. Reid. Oh, okay, okay. You see that boy out there, 7 '3"? Man, ain't them boys tall, Joe. For Michigan? Yeah. Man. Yeah, I made it. Yeah, Michigan look good. They Glenn Rice. I mean, he couldn't miss. Joe and Ocho, it's like every time he shot the ball, that ish went in. It was cash. Now, he can fill it up. He was cooking. Who that, huh? Glenn Rice. Glenn Rice at Michigan. He can score that ball now.

1:16:05Yeah.

1:16:05Shannon Sharpe:Miami Heat Glenn Rice, huh? Yeah. Yes. Charlotte Hornet, Glenn Rice. I think he ended up playing with the Lakers, too. Yeah, he won a championship with the Lakers. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Glenn. Steve Fisher was the coach. He was the coach also with the Fab Five. Oh, Steve Fisher was, yeah.

1:16:34What conference St. Louis in?

1:16:39Shannon Sharpe:Glenn Rice averaged 30.3. Damn. Joe, I'm telling you, he was cooking. Man, you know how hard that is to do in college, man, average them type of points in college? Yeah. That's hard, bro. You got to be one of them special ones, though, huh? Man. Even if you special, the average 30, Ocho? Because they zone you. Okay. Like the NBA, now they allow you to play zone a little bit in the NBA. He was 30 and 10. Damn. Oh, he was cooking. I'm telling you, he was cooking. If anybody is old as I am, bro, Glenn Rice cooked. But I think if I'm not mistaken, I think it took Ramil Robinson to put back. He ended up, they ended up, I think they beat Seton Hall for the championship.

1:17:34But, hey, Glenn Rice was cooking folks.

1:17:40Shannon Sharpe:Oh, there you go.
