00:00Coach, I looked at the top 25 today with Carver High and I said that I thought every team
00:06in that 25 right now, even though I don't really care about the AP top 25, we do it
00:12every week like it's habitual, but I literally, I looked at that list and every team to me
00:17was going to the NCAA tournament on that 25.
00:20They're all solid teams and the Johnnies have moved up to like 10, they're tough as hell.
00:27What do you think of the best teams in the land and they're all, they're all going to
00:32be seated and St. John's getting a high seat.
00:35Look at all these teams, coach.
00:36You can look at that right here.
00:37There's not one team on that list that isn't going to the tournament.
00:41No, there's not.
00:42And the crazy thing is, Pharrell, you could say if any of them get hot, they can go on
00:48to run to the final four.
00:49Now obviously Auburn's 92-85 win on the road in the one versus two matchup versus Alabama
00:55was something obviously Jani Broome kind of getting himself back into the race for
00:59being national player to your Cooper flag, but all of these teams, Florida has been a
01:03great story.
01:04Duke, Duke is what for a team that's young, they can defend.
01:10I mean really defend and their best defender happened to be Cooper Flagg.
01:15I'm a big believer in Houston.
01:16I know Emmanuel Sharps been coming back, working his way back from that, from ankle injury,
01:21but that Udon kid that they got from Oklahoma, it's been a huge difference.
01:25Tennessee, can Rick Barnes get over to help TJ Osterberger.
01:28Their team is healthy.
01:29We'll talk about that in a little bit, but St. John's folks, I keep going back to this.
01:34Look what Pitino does in year two and look what he's doing right now.
01:39And you want to talk about great clips.
01:42There's a clip online that shows Pitino after a game, ripping his kids.
01:47I'm like, Lord have mercy, I've seen the light.
01:51And that team with RJ Lewis, what could already Richmond as a Swiss Army Knight, Wiltshire
01:55getting better, edge of Ford down low.
01:58The only problem, and you talked about sort of break with teams going to big gyms, St.
02:04John's struggle shooting in big arenas because Cardinals second arena is so small.
02:10That's something you have to fix is their perimeter shooting, but they can absolutely
02:13make a run with their defense.
02:14So obviously Rutgers isn't going to the tournament.
02:17My question is after Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper went there and everyone thought they
02:22were going to be this great team and they were awful.
02:25Is Pico getting fired?
02:26You know, it's funny.
02:27I talked to one of my best friends who's a huge Rutgers alum and goes to all their games
02:33and he made a good point.
02:35Listen, it's not about Bailey and Harper.
02:38It's the fact that Pico did not surround those two with enough talent.
02:44They do have a pretty good recruiting class coming back, coming in next year.
02:49I think Pico has done well at Rutgers.
02:52I think this is the first time he had major, major, major players.
02:55They'll be better.
02:56The problem with Steve Pico, it's never been his defense, it's been his offense.
03:01Maybe he needs to look to getting an experienced, almost like folks almost have this in college,
03:06offensive coordinator, someone that can dial up the plays and kind of help Pico on the
03:09offensive side of the floor.
