00:00But one of these teams that's already in the dance who caught your attention
00:04Shout to my guy in the tool Bobby Moe Bobby Moe in the building
00:08Robert Morris done a great job any tools been there for a long time known him for a long time
00:12I've disciple a friend dumpy by the way shout out the friend Duffy who just coached his last game a couple of days ago
00:19Any tools did a great job at Robert Morris?
00:21They were in the NEC did a great job
00:22They had to move to the horizon because being in Pittsburgh it just didn't work for them in that league
00:28They had to get out
00:29Rebuilt that program again, and this team has been on absolute fire losing only one game
00:35Since I think January 8th, and they got they got a kid they got a kid cam woods
00:40That's an absolute dynamo and what I saw out of Robert Morris's different guys step up in different spots
00:47It's the team and a guy that is you know I know is an IT and yes
00:50It was a bad Kentucky team
00:52But this is a guy that will be ready Andy tool to have his team ready to play
00:56That could be a scary match whether they're at a 15 or 14 seed the way Bobby Mills playing
01:03They could be dangerous in the right matchup. Yeah, they can I mean they beat up on Youngstown State
01:07I know I took Youngstown State
01:09You know hoping for a step-up spot played in the neck nip and tuck for about you know 35 minutes
01:15And just let go of the rope in the final five minutes of that matchup. I've watched this team now
01:20I'm going to to Wofford in terms of this team 19 and 15 overall
01:25Smash VMI
01:27smash
01:28Furman they have very good guard play Jackson
01:30Syphilis that stepped up with a 20-point performance in the championship game you want to talk about blue-collar teams
01:37I mean Wofford to me is a team that I think could make some noise
01:41Are they gonna go to the sweet 16 probably not can they get an upset in the first round?
01:46It's possible depending upon how they match up depending upon how they play if they're catching multiple points
01:53I might be on Wofford that they impressed me
01:55They shoot well from the perimeter and have very good guard play that travels in terms of March man this guy's
02:01Okay, I think the team that that's just the most intriguing honesty is Gonzaga like like they
02:08They are the team that we didn't think they were but they're playing better. They don't have the quad one record
02:15Yeah, where do they get seated, but they're not as high like that is gonna be such a fascinating story kept come tomorrow
02:23Way, they're seated because if you see them too low, they could definitely find themselves in a sweet 16
02:28Yeah, I think stuff like Gonzaga for me and admittedly one
02:34I don't like things that are illogical
02:36But I really don't like watching the Iona gales get given no opportunity and that happened a few tournaments ago when as a 13 seed
02:44They played a four-seeded Yukon that every you know
02:48Tom Larry and Joe had a future on that they ended up winning the tournament because everybody knew that
02:53the four-seated Yukon was actually a top four team in college basketball and yet like
03:00Gonzaga's resume isn't great
03:03but if they're eighth in net and
03:05top ten in BPI and top ten in Ken pom and top ten in Evan Mia and top ten in Joe Lisi and top ten in
03:12coach and
03:12Okay. Well then
03:15Why are they on the eight what's going on here again?
03:18I understand that they're not on the one or two. You don't belong on the one or two
03:22They also don't belong in the eight nine, right? That can't be that that is it is flatly
03:29Unacceptable for something like that to take place
03:31I was just gonna say if we equate Gonzaga to college football, right when you have a dominant program in terms of a group of
03:38Five and then all of a sudden you lose your star talent a couple of years ago, right in
03:43Yeah
03:45Some of the talent that they have when they played in the final four in championship game
03:48And then you go start to go the other way like last year for me was it?
03:53You know, I was on Gonzaga last year why the expectation the bullseye wasn't on their back
03:58And you know if you can't win when that when there's you know less than
04:04Expectations right and you still underachieve
04:06That's where I start to second guess mark few and I start to second guess the program and I say are they going the other?
04:12Way, you know for years they dominated you want to say, you know the the non power conferences, right?
04:17They were there for years. They were the dark horse to potentially be that Cinderella. They got close
04:23They couldn't close the door and now yeah, they might get the talent again, but they're starting to go the other way
04:29You can't lose to say Mary's two times in the regular season beat them in the championship game
04:35This is a conference that you should be dominating. No wouldn't so I think that so, okay big picture
04:41I fear few might have missed his window
04:45Simultaneously, I cannot believe five-star recruits are picking. I'm gonna whatever I'll pile on North Carolina over Gonzaga
04:53Chet Holmgren went to Gonzaga
04:56Fantastic tournament run Jalen Suggs went to Gonzaga
05:01Unbelievable run obviously he had with the Bulldogs
05:04Ian Jackson can't crack the starting lineup of a team. That's not gonna make the tournament. I don't even so but few
05:11Can't seemingly bring these kids in anyway, right?
05:13He's it's he's not dominating the portal if you look at this year's team. It's leftovers from what they should be much better than they are
05:20So that's a bit. That's a bit tricky
05:23I want to though just use the Gonzaga point actually to make a perfect transition to the team. I wanted to talk about
05:30Which is McNeese?
05:32last year's McNeese was all the rage and
05:38Unfortunately for them you'll remember Joe we saw it's the thing we saw that's most similarly
05:44They ran into Gonzaga and all of those
05:48McNeese will win a tournament game takes got smashed right in the mouth because they ended up having to play the Bulldogs in a 512
05:57Nobody's talked about McNeese this year. I'm not acting as if they're an under
06:02That is if this is a hidden in the rough gem, but because this is what happens with betters
06:08It happens with me. It happens with you. It happens with everybody because everybody got burned on McNeese last year
06:14They're not doing it with this year's team. Well, guess who's better?
06:18This year's team they are better. They're their net rating is better
06:22They're rating relative to without the entire country last year to this year this year is better their strength of schedule last year
06:31Was around setting 72nd this year top 25
06:35Last year out of conference. They beat Michigan
06:39guess what not as impressive as going to Alabama and only losing by 8 or
06:45Playing Mississippi State on a neutral court and only losing by 3 this year's McNeese team
06:51more so than last year's team feels like the one ready to make a run and what I like coach is
06:58This year's McNeese team isn't all the rage
