"To another edition of Courtside with Christy and Gabe right here on the Her Who Sets podcast network. I am Christy Winter Scott joined as always by Gabe, guy. Ibrahim, Gabe. There have been so many tweets about the WNBA season starting this past weekend. So many Instagrams and all of that but listen there were so many eyeballs on the WNBA this past weekend opening weekend for the league saw monstrous numbers as it should have because there were some amazing games, some amazing moments as well. I'm gonna tap into all of it and I could tell we're really excited because we started this podcast already and both we've started this podcast twice. Christy has not done our countdown either time she just goes right into it. Just jump in. We're not doing a countdown the first time she was so excited she slapped the phone that she's using to record. Yeah. It was a great blooper maybe we'll throw it in at the end of this podcast. Yeah. Stick around if you want to see it upload. Yeah we'll send it to Justin or something. We're just so excited. We're so excited for the start of the WNBA season. I mean like you know obviously we went to the Mystics games. Well you went to both Mystics games this weekend. I went to the first Mystics game to open the season which was incredible and shocking and just an awesome thing that we definitely have to talk about. Then throughout the weekend we just had some amazing moments from you know everyone. Rike had a big game. Obviously BG coming back was the big story. Stewie had a record in her second game with the franchise which seems very on brand for her. So it's just like so much stuff was happening this weekend and just like beautiful opening to the WNBA season and we do want to say I want to say before we get into all of this because we're going to get we're going to overreact obviously. Okay good. In the WNBA specifically and in every league generally the start of the season doesn't super matter especially in the WNBA where we're getting players back and people are starting to get into shape still. Like 40 games. It's 40 games. So it's not now is not the end all be all of the season if you had some bad losses. Excuse me on the Minnesota links. If you had some bad losses now's not the time to freak out. Right. If you had some great wins now's not the time to think that you are world beaters either. So just want to get that out of the way before we get into all of the story. You have to put the disclaimer out there but no hey I think we have to start with BG right. I mean everyone was out to LA to watch her season opener and then the home opener where she was just phenomenal right. I think with I think it was over what 300 days. Yes. Without somebody playing basketball and I don't know it's just unfathomable that she's even doing as well as she's doing and it's not just her shot rhythm that I'm talking about. I'm talking about mentally getting back on the court with her team in front of a sold out crowd everywhere she goes and then to have Billie Jean King, Magic Johnson and Lisa Leslie all the people in the building you know standing and cheering her on as her name was announced. I mean I still get the little chills down my arms for that because moment we just didn't know that she would ever play ever again. So to see her back on the floor and everyone with the welcome back BG comments that they had across the league, all the players. I mean it was so much bigger than basketball. You could see all the hugs and you know it was just really fun to see that dynamic of the game. Obviously the game and we love the game but that dynamic, the sisterhood, the camaraderie, the brotherhood, sisterhood with Magic Johnson there going to locker rooms with Vice President Kamala Harris going into the locker room and speaking with both teams it's just the respect. I think it just washed over me that wow it's you know they care about you as a person Brittany Greiner and everyone else knows that the league cares that much about them as well and seeing all the love and concern and respect sent BG's way they know they're in an all -inclusive all you know when you go to an all -inclusive resort you know how freeing that is only did it once but it was great you know but when you have that it's when you have that confidence and knowing that a whole league and a whole sports community has your back I mean that's that's pretty amazing yeah and I think you know a shout out to the X Factor first off the field fans I thought they really showed out for that moment and you know in LA they did too where her first game was and Don Staley was there and that was really cool but the moment where she came home and you know they're doing the the team introductions and it's you know Sophie Cunningham it's Diana Taurasi and Diana Taurasi gets a huge ovation they're playing their their regular music to come in right and then like you know you know BG's coming up last yeah and so they she kind of starts stepping out and then the music drops and they start playing coming home you know that's it's a song that comes up a lot now in these situations she's coming home and you can see Brittany like Brittany's face and I love that you know obviously cutting her hair was a necessity for her but I love that she you can see her face more now and like she has such an expressive like infectious almost with her with her emotions and so you could see her like kind of like drop a little bit when the music stopped and like it got really like it felt like the moment was there and you could see her saying like I cannot cry right now I have to keep it together just to walk out because it's supposed to be happy and she she's smart and in an interview with uh and with um oh uh and with the SPN she was like I was trying to hold back the tears you could see it on her face when it happened I just thought that was such a beautiful moment the extractor going crazy I thought the team did a great job with it I thought BG handled it amazing yes that moment submit was great and perfect and beautiful and then as you mentioned she's playing like this yeah she's not right it's not Brittany Greiner's not just back like Brittany Greiner is back she had 27 points in in the home opener 18 points in um the first game in I mean I'm sorry 18 points in the first game against Los Angeles 27 points against Chicago in the home opener getting to the line doing a little bit in the post doing she hit a three I know it's just like I'm so happy that not she it just feels like right back into it like there's not you know we're not dancing around anything we're not saying oh she's back and she's not no no BG's fully back mentally physically and with her game I just think it's it's an amazing thing yeah no it was it was beautiful you know to see her knock in that three and I think uh her percentage wasn't that bad if I recall um I think Rebecca Lobo said um she had taken nine or something like that or four for nine or something so I mean that wasn't bad you know to knock it in it wasn't like it was outside of her skill set just something that she doesn't do on a common occasion but for her to knock that down it was just kind of so theatrical to the moment that was already theatrical so it was really fun to see the smiles on the faces of all the fans and you know all the t -shirts they had the fat heads and and all of that just the spirit of the moment was really beautiful to watch but I think that's that's what it's all about that's what the WNBA represents right um they represent holding you up when you're down and and when you're you know on the top or trying to get back there's that encouragement and that flow of energy that's so positive and it just I don't know it just kind of flowed through the entire arena um and everyone who was watching uh caught a piece of it too so I mean that's what it's all about and it's a life lesson that's what it teaches you so it was really fun to to watch that in real time and not just as a highlight but to see it real time was was very moving for sure so you uh the the shooting numbers are actually interesting now that I'm looking at them from three in her WNBA career is seven of 18 so obviously not a ton right that's 38 percent however nine of those attempts came in 2021 there you go so over half of them came in her last year and then the last year she played something she's been working on she said that in the post game yeah um and and I don't know maybe she adds it to her game which is I hope so

"ESPN. And the national championship game is underway. Nearly 10 million people watched the 2023 NCAA women's basketball championship game between the LSU tigers and the Iowa hawkeyes on ESPN this year. It was the highest viewed women's college basketball game in history. The tigers eventually winning their first title in program history in a one O two 85 victory. National championship. Iowa's Caitlin Clark set records during her run scoring a 191 points at tournament record men's or women's and winning the 2023 wooden award, which is given to the most outstanding player. Ellis used angel Reese was certainly a star too, averaging 23 points and 15 rebounds a game throughout the season. So this was certainly a game to watch. But what happened during it and afterwards has been talked about all week long. Angel Reese, heavily criticized for her, you can't see me motion to Caitlin Clark, a gesture that Clark had made earlier in the tournament. Reese explained after the game, all year, I was critiqued about who I was. Nobody, the narrative, I don't fit the narrative. I don't fit in the box that y'all want me to be in. I'm too hood. I'm too ghetto. Y'all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y'all don't say nothing. So this was for the girls that looked like me. That is going to speak up on what they believe in. It's unapologetically you. And that's what I did it for tonight. It was bigger than me tonight. And Clark while speaking with ESPN, didn't think the criticism was warranted. I don't think angels should be criticized at all. No matter which way it goes, she should never be criticized for what she did. You know, I'm just one that competes, and she competed. So I think everybody knew there was going to be a little trash talk in the entire tournament. It's not just me and angels. So I don't think she should be criticized like I said. LSU deserves it. They played so well. And like I said, I'm a big fan of hers. Son or questioning, if there's a race or gender double standard here. Basketball Hall of Famer and current ESPN analyst Rebecca lobo, ABC News contributors Mike mewes and Christine Brennan joined Diane vice on ABC News live. There's a lot of debate over whether Caitlyn and angel actually did the same thing. So what did you think when you still have it blew up on social media? My initial reaction was, I guess part of this is good because we're talking about women's basketball. We had record ratings for that game over 10 million people watching 12 million and its peak, which was probably when angel made the gesture. So I think any time you're talking about women's basketball, after the fact, it's a good thing. But then some of the layers started to be unraveled a little bit. And you felt a little bit of the gender conversation in the race conversation and that piece made it, of course, a lot more troubling. But my initial reaction was being glad that people were talking about women's basketball. Mike some are saying these are two different things that what they did was actually different. Others are saying the difference here is the color of their skin. And on the I am athlete podcast. Angels said, I feel like we went into a space where it's black women against white women. So it feels like this conversation is about more than just a moment in a basketball game. It is a more than just about a moment in basketball game. We learned as the society now where we can't we have to look at things often through a social construct. The idea that Kate and Clark did this exact same gesture and people laughed at it, people enjoyed it. You know, people thought it was really great, you know, taunting. And trash talking. And so then when this does it, then it becomes classless. It becomes unladylike. And then you couldn't help, but think about the race dynamic that was occurring and the double standards because both are the same gender. So it wasn't a gender issue, but there was something about angel Reese. People had such a visceral reaction to it. Angeles talk openly about how she has had so much people talking negatively about her throughout the entire season, calling her terms like ghetto. And so you couldn't help but bring race into this conversation. Christine, this is also sparking a conversation about gender, because Caitlyn Clark is now coming to angel's defense, telling ESPN. This was trash talk. It's part of the game just like when men play. And on the other hand, some are saying that if a man did this, it would have been a technical foul. So what do you think? Is this a gender double standard? Tell me there's gender double standards and racial double standards as we're talking about here. And I certainly defer to Rebecca the Hall of Fame run, everything involving women's basketball. But I think this is the greatest one of the greatest things ever for women's basketball. The issues are layered. It is a national conversation. I think sports always takes us to good national conversations, even if it's top as we go through it. But in the end, they're both winners that are both going to make millions in NIL. Rebecca, how do we talk to our kids about being good sports? Because with social media name image and likeness deals, players are almost encouraged to be kind of loud and in your face. So how do we then teach our kids that we're coaching or raising to be good sports? Well, I think that's up to each parent or each coach what they allow their player to do or what they encourage their player to do. We had opportunities to be around angel reason, enjoyed her. And our thoughtful conversations with her about basketball and how sharing and giving she was when talking about her teammates to a set to a sort of sign up, a certain character trait on her towards her because of a celebration she did is completely unfair. At the same time, certain coaches are going to allow certain things, certain parents are going to allow or encourage certain things from their athlete. And I think that's up to each person to determine what kind of behavior

"For it didn't really make sense. I just said it was like, they had already given them a delay of game learning. So I don't know. It just was like, it wasn't. It was so unnecessary. I may have misheard. I think they went to the little monitor thing where they can basically talk to television and say it was a combo of throwing of the ball. Which is absurd. And then use of language when you see the replay, she's just in the huddle talking to her teammates. And I know we all have these thoughts of what women should be. They swear. It's okay. Like that the world isn't going to collapse because Caitlyn Clark used some naughty language. Two more teammates, not even to the official. You're trying to grow the game, of course that's not the thought as you're playing the game or coaching or officiating, but good God. There were 10 million people that watched the game. Far and away a record. How many new fans were there? And just immediately went, this is unwatchable. Because Caitlin Clark is on the bench in the second half. Angel in the second half, angel Reese didn't play in the second quarter. Monica senado fouled out because the officials decided to make it about themselves. It's unbelievable. Yeah. I agree. That was just the worst place for that to happen in the national championship game. On ABC with that kind of eyes on a just to add and see something like that in terms of an officiating performance. I'm glad I know you didn't watch the broadcast because you were there. A lot of national commentators, they'll tread lightly. Oh, I disagreed with the call or maybe they'll just kind of leave it silent of, oh, I don't know. Ryan ruko and Rebecca lobo just kind of teed off on them. So kudos to both of them for speaking the truth in the moment. Regardless of whether it was Caitlyn Clark or the 7th person off the bench because everyone had 12 players that played because everyone was in foul trouble. There's been a lot of talk this year about how men's officials, they'll take red eye flights and their contract workers, so they just take what they can get, nice paycheck, add that to women's basketball and like everything else in the world, probably cut off 25% of the pay and it's the same issue with women's basketball. So hopefully that is the kickstart of something better to come of what was sadly the headline until the waning moments of LSU celebrating. But before we get to that Alexis Morris, two points in the first half, she had 19 in the second half. I thought, frankly, she should have been final four most outstanding player. I thought she was great in both games. She was she had 30 points almost in the two fourth quarters. She put the game away. Yeah, I think honestly, part of that might have just been like when you had to vote

"Mark hanging out with us in the villages, America's friendliest hometown. Hey, Mark how's it going? Good, I'm glad you're doing well. I'm surprised you weren't going to broadcasting from the hospital. Well, you know, I did try, but they're like, yeah, no, no, that's not going to happen. I know. You know, Nancy Pelosi, it's funny. She'll sit here and say, proven innocent until proven guilty or guilty and hotel Reuben innocent. We already know she's guilty of a bunch of stuff. Oh, you got that right. Yeah. Hey, what about UConn tonight, bro? What do you think of that? Yeah, you know, I'm wondering, is anybody's bracket still did anybody pick UConn for the championship? I did. You did. I went to school in Connecticut in my Rebecca lobo's mom and dad were my teachers in Connecticut. Is that right? Yeah, so I'm very close to the she actually lives on the same road where I grew up on. Well, I'll be darn. You know, I am gonna watch the game tonight. I was I was interested in FAU. Of course, what San Diego state took care of business. So it'll be a good game tonight. You know, they were off everybody's radar for a little bit, but man, they're unstoppable now. And I mean, it's just, I've never seen anything like it. I remember how long ago was that mark that UConn both the men's and the women's team and of course I'm a big Tennessee fan, so our girls basketball program was just spectacular back in the 80s and 90s. And we were always going to toe to toe with Yukon. This is the last time we won was 2014. And if we win tonight, we're going to tie with duke for the most wins. This would be our 5th this would be our 5th championship tonight if we get it. I don't see us not getting it. Their favorite 75% already over San Diego. I hope they just whip them like they've been doing the last three games because I can't stand anybody out there in California. The great pat summit she was one of the best to female basketball coaches, they actually tried to get her to coach at least the rumor was they were trying to get her to coach the men's team. But the guys doing pretty good. It's unbelievable. That girls game. They've stepped it up and notch. These women the way they shoot now, I mean, a 102 to 80 something. I mean, that's like the most points ever scored. And I mean, these women, these young women are throwing up three. Does she have one lady for Iowa had 8 three pointers? And she was shooting them from 5 feet beyond the three point line. So she was unbelievable. There was a lot of drama in that women's game. I don't know if you've been following it with angel Reese and Caitlin Clark and throw in shade. Look, it's basketball. It's a game. You're going to do that and I don't necessarily have an issue with it Keith olbermann's getting crucified because I guess he criticized the black player but not the white player he wasn't aware and so it's kind of interesting to watch everybody go in after olbermann. What a loser. Well, yeah, and Caitlyn, I hope tonight these refs let these guys play and throw in all kinds of penalties. They did it with the girls yet, the women yesterday, Caitlin had 8 three pointers. She threw a basketball down and moved it out of her way. They hit her with a technical, which I think was totally ridiculous. And they were both swapping words back and forth. So they're both guilty. You know, LSU is just as guilty and supposedly Caitlyn was saying stuff to who knows who knows, but I wanted to see Iowa do it, but that was you got it, unfortunately. Yeah, no, that officiating was a little off the charts. And it has been this I don't know what it is with the refs, but it's really, there have been some really bad calls, not just in college basketball, but college football too. They got to get that figured out. Maybe they're on the take. Could be and I would go back to, well, look, when you go back to the Memphis tigers game, you can't tell me that a referee did not see 8 people on the court calling time out. It's just crazy. Yeah, I agree with you. The rest is basically ruin the game. The sport. And hopefully they'll let the guys play. Let them play. Let them do what they need to do, you know? I mean, before all is said and done here, Mark, you know, it's going to be that college football is going to be flag football. You're not even allowed to touch anybody anymore. Yeah, I know. It's just unbelievable. Well, I know, to jump into another conversation. I know Trump will be fine. He'll do fine. You know, you've got this George Soros is worried now because he knows if Trump gets in there, it's going to be in trouble. So I think Trump's, you know, this may have been Trump's game plan from the whole gecko with stormy Danube. You never know. He's getting he's getting the TV attention. He needs now. Trump's always got a plan. Always got a plan. Mark, all right, we'll say this in your honor, go, is it huskies, right? Yeah, go ahead. Go husky. All right. All right, thanks for calling and good hearing from you. And folks has been great hearing from all of you. Very, very nice to be back. Again, thank you for the kind words and prayers. We're going to do this all over again tomorrow. It is going to be indictment day. We're going to be bringing you the very latest Donald Trump Junior going to be on the show tomorrow. Folks, I'm telling you, we're bringing you a front row seat. All right, gotta get out of here. He got America..

"On Twitter and people are mad. They're mad that Caitlin lost this is exactly the passion, you know what I mean? And the interest that the women's game has been looking for and trying to get for like a while and they've been able to the WNBA and women's college basketball. Women's college basketball is kind of always a thing. But the WNBA has been making strides. But this is like, what Kayla's been able to do, the interest in this tournament has been like a watershed moment to me in this entire deal. Else you was going to win this game? A better coach team. A better top to bottom to me than Iowa is. So they were going to win this game. But still, it was a big moment a big deal. I'm glad we won, but, you know, Caitlyn did her thing. She got a lot of those viewers over the years. We always look for reasons. I'm sorry. I just think we're being a little too recency bias, and I'm not known as a woman's college basketball historian. But we're forgetting some very, very intense Tennessee Yukon stuff, okay? The Notre-Dame runs. Like the last second shot by Notre dame. We have had some awesome moments. So if you're asking me who was that defining star of women's college basketball, I'm not the go to on that, but I feel like the three of us are being a little guilty of the recency thing, which I think van should be guilty of it right now. By acting like katelyn Clark is the first because there was some of those games in the tournament with Notre-Dame and that run where I was like, holy shit. Like those games were incredible. So, I don't know, I feel like we're being a little dismissive of other years where people were actually talking about it or at least it had its moment where, you know, unfortunately because the game wasn't close, it was defined by the officiating. Here's who would be my soft counter. Not a hard counter of soft counter. Is this the first time my son and his friend Jackson who slipped over a weekend? Were they wanted to watch the game? Because if you think of it according to some of the Ben Simmons metric and listen, they kept from a casual fan standpoint in the social media era. Some of the shots and plays that Caitlin makes, this was the first time this was like, she was the number one trending thing on Friday night. And just in general, some of the shop making and some of the decision making was just so unusual. That I think people just wanted to see it. So I've been thinking about when we saw and that's a compare her to just bear with me as I try to land the point on this. But when Tiger showed up, pre 90 7, when he was in the the amateur stuff. And there was a feeling like, oh, this is different. I haven't seen this before, right? Or mahomes comes in, that first chiefs here and like, wow, this guy, I haven't seen this before. And it doesn't really matter what the sport is. When you have that, I haven't seen this before quality. It usually plays big. It usually hits and it usually becomes a thing. And I think with Caitlyn, the interesting thing is that she can't go into WNBA. I didn't even realize they had this rule that she's got to wait one more year before she goes. To me, they should be trying to change the rules and figure out way further to go in because I do think she's going to be the biggest star that they've ever had because of the curry thing. It's for the same reason curry has been the most popular player of the last ten years of all the newer players. I think people just love 35 photos. They love shooting and they love this shit that when nobody else can do it, they fucking love it. I include myself. So this is what I'll say to what Ryan saying and he's right. Whether it's to me catchings, holds claw Meyer more superb Rebecca lobo. This goes back a long time. To rest is the best part I've ever seen first. For women. Like amazing, right? Amazing. I think part of this is because it's not just that Caitlin Clark is a different sort of player. I think we consume basketball in a different way than we than we used to. And a lot of the players that we're talking about were these

"It. That was another storyline in the women's tournament. Against the female Steph Curry and Cleveland Clark, right? In terms of shooter, right? So against her and that, we have been talking about what's wrong with the tournament. The men's tournament. What's wrong with this? We're missing all of that. We're missing all of that in this right now as you said you were going to watch Florida Atlantic and watch the San Diego state. Matt Bradley's been in San Diego safe for four years. Did you know about it? You know what I'm saying? I think I was just watching that. That was my takeaway from watching it. A great game. I will one. Caitlin Clark, I mean, I don't know how they wouldn't get now rebounded like that. It was incredible to see shots. But just watching it and my takeaway was, this is what I've been missing from the men's tournament. So thank you to the women's tournament for providing. So March Madness, the problem with in the rebuttal I have against it is we've seen women's tournaments like this before. This isn't new. I started watching women's college basketball probably like the early 90s. I remember Charlotte Smith hitting the jumper for Carolina, the buzzer to win it. And then she holds claw came through the WNBA. Like I used to watch women's ball, man, because you had to watch me go, you had to watch Candice. You had to watch Rebecca lobo. Was she really this big girl that was just good or was she just big and you put the game was like, nah, this shorty can play. She's a monster. So there's been final force and there's been runs like this. It's just that to the flip side of where I'm going to disagree with it is the reason why that got so much coverage is because the final four is what it is. You know what I'm saying? And guys like me, I feel like, yeah, you need the blue blood. Stop telling me we like the underdog. Yeah, maybe first Thursday and Friday, but it's the weeks go on. I would love to see the ratings of this game. And it's a good basketball game. Guys, it really is. But most fans that follow college basketball, they couldn't name you one guy off neither one of these teams playing right now until they got going towards the final four and maybe the elite 8 and get into the final four in their names are popping up on social media popping up in the news and on sports TV shows and things of that nature. But the coverage of this week, the wearing a lot of shows talking about the final four coming up because there really only blue blood you have would be you continents more blue blood on the women's side, even though Calhoun got one and Ali Kevin Ali got another one with shabazz Napier at the point guard when they win. If you have your blue Bloods, which I kind of established would be like the same as like the original 6 in hockey. Yeah. Like, I'd say like the Yukon Gonzaga and so on. To continue with the original the 7th and 8th. They're right below in basketball. Yeah, their tier two tier three one is due Carolina, UCLA, Kansas, that's the list. That might be Indiana, Indiana is another one. Thank you, Chris. But Indiana, there's gotta be one more. It's just not coming off the top of our heads right now. But the point I'm making is, I've just always been on the side. You need the blue blood. You can tell me we like this underdog stuff. All you want. But at the end of the day, we want Pat Mahomes in the Super Bowl. They want LeBron James and Michael Jordan and Kobe and Shaq, you want those guys in the NBA Finals. Like, do you know this year we can actually really get say the nuggets in the sixers in the finals? Like, don't tell me that's what you want. It's not what you want. I want to see the best teams. Yeah. All right, well, I just want to especially when we get to postseason play, I'd like to see the best team. And I don't always feel like especially in NBA season 8 two games. You don't always get the best. I think you get the best one, two, three, four, through 8 guys. There's injuries. There's low management now. Like, this thing is so out of whack. We have no idea who to pick. I know who I'm going with, but most people are still because kind of waiting. But to your appointment, last night was outstanding. I watched both games from beginning and end on Twitter so that, you know, I'm not watching NBA tonight. I'm a settle in and check out these plus Reese's minds. You know, that's my little, that's my basketball boot day right there from LSU all like I should care herself on how she ball. But Caitlyn Clark last night, man, just real talk, out of her mind, did what she needed to do, but Boston is still going to be the number one overall pick in the WNBA draft. But I'm not sure if that's what we wanted to see. I wanted to see Caroline South Carolina going to feed it and dawn Stanley raised her third band. That's what I wanted to say. I also was in a South Carolina House last night. We were rooting for the gamecocks. And dawn staley. My grandma living gaffney. So Japanese South Carolina, so yeah, I have no affiliation to South Carolina, or I do. I am not afraid to tell you I am a fan of doing failure. How about her coming out saying, I am not going to coach at temple. What are you talking about? Stop it. I coach South Carolina women's basketball. What the hell am I going to go do in the 8

"I still think I was three point shooting and their ability to just really outscore LSU would probably make them the favorite in that matchup. I think that's a situation where LSU is really going to need flooded on something to hit some threes that are Alexis Morris to really go off to have a chance to be Iowa. For LSU to win a national title. They'll need everyone. Angel Reese can't go three or 15. She's been great all year. It's not critical of angel Reese. You're allowed to have a bad game unless you're trying to win national player of the year apparently. Then you can. But obviously can't go three to 15, even though she still had a double double. Johnson can't go to a 15 from three. All kind of goes without saying you're in the final four. Lastly, Iowa and Virginia tech. This would be a fun match or there'd be a lot of points in this one. Yeah, I think that's going to be if we get that. It'll be like a 85 90 matchup probably as you would say. Yeah, that could be interesting. I think you'll see we've talked a lot about what Iowa does offensively, but I think it was to really be able to get her as a more able to get hers on that match up too. So I feel like it's kind of just a lot of scoring. It would be like the first half of that Virginia tech, Ohio State gave I feel like everyone just kept hitting baskets and it was like, you thought they were going to go to a 103 they were playing. What is the official Megan gower prediction for the final four this weekend? I think we're going to see South Carolina and Virginia tech. And the championship. And South Carolina won it all. I agree. I think next week we'll talk, where does this gamecock team rank all time? Because that's how good they are. If you cut down the nets, that conversation happens if it doesn't. South Carolina is still probably one of the better teams that we've seen ever. You need the championship to be at the cap on it. Megan, you're going to be in Dallas, so you're going to miss the broadcasts. All due respect to Ryan ruko and Rebecca lobo Holly wrote code they do a great job. I'm going to be watching suburban Diana trazi get drunk on national TV. And they get to do it on Sunday too. Very excited. Yeah. I did go back and watch some of those last year after the fact because I was like, I just want to watch like I'm sure it would be entertaining to watch back with it and I probably will do record them and be the same this year. The best thing last year was when tarazi handed Kelsey plum a cup just to just drink it. And then plummet took it and then after a second was like, oh Jesus, what did you just hand me? And she's on TV, so she can't just react. It's phenomenal television. Highly recommend it. My only other complaint, thank God the games on ABC, the next step, put it in prime time. Like everything with the women's game is so freaking hard. It took forever to get the games. This is only the third year you could watch every game in the tournament. Yeah. It took forever to get a game on ABC. It's only been a couple of years. They've been putting any games on ABC. They moved it to Friday Sunday, which I liked. But it just every step of the way. It's just hard and hard and hard. I'm over it. What Sunday Night? What's going on Sunday Night at 7 o'clock? 8 o'clock. It's so silly. The other thing that bothered me last week and I went to go watch you Connor the ABC and I was like, I wonder why South Carolina's Gabe was on right before this isn't on ABC and it's the excess effect. No one cares about the accent though. There was no one in the stands at the game. And it got a million less viewers than the South Carolina game. I'm pretty sure. Record viewership, it's record attendance, Greenville we expected, but quick shout out, I knew Greenville would be packed because South Carolina is 90 minutes from campus. Seattle. Seattle really showed out. And no one was within the thousand miles. Yeah, and I think they said that Seattle's a Tesla is actually beat the Greenville attendance. Just crazy when you think about it. That might just be a capacity. 18 three. Yeah, bunch of corporatists are even no chance they have 18,000 people at that arena. Yeah, they have 16. So that's a lot closer than I thought it would be. So kudos, it's amazing. You give the women's game an outlet and you stop treating them like second class citizens and people watch. People watch on TV, people watching in person. This isn't hard. It isn't hard. Regardless, the times are what they are, I'm not a late night person, but I'm burning the midnight oil again on Friday. Megan, enjoy Dallas. We'll talk next week, and we'll have a champion.
ESPN Daily
"rebecca lobo" Discussed on ESPN Daily
"Anything about women's college basketball, you know about what South Carolina Don staley, her team, what they've been doing this year. I mean, to not lose a game in more than a year going for perfection, it feels like it's inevitable. Another championship for them, in your opinion, is there anybody who's going to stand in their way? Yeah, I think the team that stands in South Carolina's way is South Carolina. Even our crew, when we were doing the selection Sunday show, multiple times, we said, for a team to have success, you've got to catch up to your line on a B night, right? Like on a night where maybe ziya cooks not hot or maybe aliya Boston's getting double and triple teamed and it's working. You know what I mean? Something for South Carolina isn't working the way that they usually operate. And then you've got to be on your a game. And that's the hard part is that from what we've seen all season long, even when South Carolina is having a B game, the other team is unable to have an a game as well. So South Carolina still has ended up winning and those teams that can have an a night against South Carolina are slim. There's just not very many when you look at what you need to have component wise to play better than the gamecocks, it'll take three point shooting. It'll take efficient shots because guys, you have to think South Carolina rebounds offensively rebounds 49% of their own misses. 49%. So even a miss is almost like a pass. At that point. So there are multiplying people in terms of field goal attempts and field goal makes. And so for you, for another team, you've got to shoot a high efficiency shot because you're not going to get as many shots as them. So the ones you get, I've got to be great shots and you've got to make them. And then multiple efforts on the defensive end, you're going to need a little depth. You're going to need a little grit. You're going to need some physicality and toughness and it is doable. Is there a team that can do it? There's probably maybe a few, but it's a really, really tall task. It's definitely South Carolina versus the field right now. That offensive rebounds that is insane. I mean, from a historical perspective, just for context, historical context, where do you think this South Carolina team fits in terms of the larger history of the sport? I want a team fits in my opinion with those Yukon stretches that we saw, right? So that first you can stretch where it was, you know, and even the Tennessee stretch back in the late 90s, right, where you had the meeks and like that Tennessee team that Yukon teams with Maya Moore and Tina Charles and Tiffany Hayes that group was insane and then the Yukon team that had Brianna Stewart and Mariah Jefferson and Morgan tuck and kalina mosquito Lewis. This South Carolina team in my opinion fits with those teams. That's where I say they would fall. You mentioned her. I just want to do another minute or two on a Leah Boston because I mean, if you look through the statistical accomplishments, the awards. It's like you're scrolling endlessly on this list that never ends. How does aliyah Boston fit into what South Carolina is doing? And how good is she? Aliya Boston is the centerpiece of what South Carolina is doing by far, even if her number is not the same as last year. Everything revolves around her. And everything comes through aliyah Boston. And she's so talented. I mean, when she needs to take over a game, she has shown that she could do that. Rebound Boston. She got down. And a chance for three on a critical fourth. And she's just relentless in her will to do what the team needs her to do. And relentless in making the right decisions. Like her basketball IQ is just phenomenal. None of my watch. And we saw that happen in slow motion. But she's, she's so much fun to watch. They tip it right to aliya Boston, the all American the quick step around. Boom. Euro step from aliyah Boston right out of the gate. I mean skill set wise, the moves that she makes at the basket the way she can put the ball on the floor. So the two three zone for the wildcats. That's Boston, misses her first shot but gets the rebound and puts it back up and in and that's what you can not afford. The way she can knock down mid range jump shots, even step out and hit a three every now and then. Cross border at the Boston wide open for three bang. Aliyah Boston missed two wide open looks earlier today. She didn't miss that one in the game cost lead 72 to 61. Chicken defend on the perimeter, like at her size, she's defensive sliding and switching onto guards and doesn't even look concerned about the guard going past her or shooting over her. It's just been really amazing to watch her growth throughout her career. Yeah, that court sense is through the roof, right? You were talking before Andrea about how it's South Carolina versus the field and it's wide open when you get to the field. But obviously, Iowa and Caitlin Clark are kind of right at the top of the list of those other teams that are definitely in the mix. What do you make of Caitlin Clark and Iowa and their chances to make a deep run in this tournament? Yeah, I love Iowa's chances. You have to remember I was upset last year. And I mean, they got knocked out of the tournament early, so the bitter taste that's in their mouth is something that is going to stand and something that is going to sit with them. Those are competitive players, especially when you talk about Caitlyn Clark, but really all of them, Gabby Marshall, Monica sonata, Warnock. They're a Gritty, tough team. We were at their game against Indiana for game day, and it was so awesome. Katelyn Clark's last second three. Mind looking. His Clark, she fires and gos. She hit it. The team obviously goes as she goes, but she's, she's stronger this season. You don't see her hitting the ground as much. You see her defending better. Her shot making, but also her passing, the way they get out and transition and that's what really makes them hard. I mean, teams don't even try to offensive rebound against Iowa because they're so scared of Iowa in transition offense. So Caitlin's ability to find her teammates. She gets so much attention from the defense. She can just find her teammates. She told me that the first line of defense doesn't even bother her. It's when you send two or when you send three that she starts to get a little overwhelmed, but even that she handles like a pro. So it's so much fun. When you talk about exciting basketball, the way they knock down threes, I think I read a stat, Gabby Marshall and her last 9 games, guys, 78% from three. And that's not because that's not because she's just shooting one or two a game. Like she is knocking down three, four, 5 again. Cabbie Marshall takes the males to three that sticks. They're really exciting. The inside out play and then the hot shooting of the guards and the way that they run is just really fun to watch. I was going to say, you know, like the Steph Curry thing. I mean, is there anywhere that's not in range for Caitlin Clark and the other shooters? I mean, as soon as they get over the halfway line, basically. Yeah, that's what it seems like. That's what it seems like for sure. So Andrea, it seems like historically in the women's tournament, it's very top heavy, right? I mean, each of the last ten national champions were number one seeds. The last team to win it that wasn't number one seed was Texas a and M back in 2011. This year, there are some intriguing names, though, on that two line, including Yukon, which I think for a lot of fans is surprising. What do you expect to see from UConn and how do you sort of rate them in with those other two seeds? Yeah, I think Yukon is the number one two seed in my opinion. Now it depends on how AZ actually fuels going into the tournament, but if AZ feels 80% of what she was at the beginning of the season, like, you guys have to remember the first 6, maybe 5 or 6 games, AC was averaging 20 to four points. Like, I don't think she's going to get back to that coming back from her injury, but even if she's at 15 to 18, that team is drastically different. I mean, Caroline ducharme coming back and giving minutes off of the bench, the depth that they have. This was a number one team. This was a top ranked team early in the season before their injuries. And I think if they get back to that, we could see the same exact thing from Connecticut that we saw last year. They had a page Becker's back right before the big east tournament. And then they make a run all the way to the final four, even with page not at a 100%. So I think Connecticut, like when you talk about needing a fish and shooting, Lou Lopez and a Shaw, Aaliyah Edwards dork, you take high percentage shots, AZ bud is a sniper when she is close to fully healthy. So I think I could seek and here's the thing. They have the experience. What has it been 14 final fours in a row for Connecticut, including multiple national championships? This group has final four postseason experience, and that gives them a leg up against every other team, including the number one seed, which is a Virginia tech on their portion of the bracket. Andrea, it seems like, despite this sort of top heavy championship list, parody is still very much on the rise in women's college basketball last year, double digit seeds, Princeton Belmont, Florida Gulf Coast, they win first round games, creighton, a number ten seed gets to the elite 8 and I remember they held Caitlyn Clark to just 15 points when they beat Iowa on their way. What are the teams in this year's bracket that you think have the best chance to be Cinderella's? I mean, I think all the 8 9 seeds are definitely tough contenders, Purdue has put up some big wins this season, Alabama has a ten seat. They've got a couple of players that can get really hot. Brittany Davis is so much fun to watch for Alabama. She did not play well in their game in the SEC tournament, so I expect her to come back with a little bit of a vengeance. Middle Tennessee can score the basketball and shoot the ball really well. Georgia is a very defensive minded team. East Carolina is a very defensive minded team. There's a few that I think could really get out like marquette is a good team. They put together some really quality performances. So yeah, there's a few like 7, 8, 9, ten, 11 seeds that I think could really make a push that I'm excited to watch. And how about on the player side, one of the best parts about March Madness is sort of the star player that comes from nowhere that kind of bursts onto the scene. Is there a particular player sort of outside of the Caitlin Clark's aliyah Boston so the stars that we already know that you're keeping an eye on? Rakia Jackson for Tennessee is one for me. She transferred from Mississippi this season in her first season of freshman year of Mississippi they had a really good team. I think they were 20 wins, 6 losses, something like that. And that team would have made a push in the tournament, the tournament was canceled that year. Right. And then the next two seasons, she didn't make the tournament Mississippi state. So this is really her first appearance in the tournament, and she's had 8, 20 point games, in a row, including through the SEC tournament, including against South Carolina, 8 seconds for rakia. Austin takes over guarding her. Bounce off the backboard. You can tell we can't Jackson Woods. That battle that challenge. She is a pro in my opinion. Her Jordan horse are so much fun so rikki is one. It's an Iowa lapse in from Florida state is a freshman that has put up big time big time numbers that has been so much fun to watch. Obviously Asia recent LSU for people at home that haven't paid attention to much to the SEC, I think they're going to love watching angel Reese play. She was at Maryland last season, so a little different look there. There are a lot of players that I'm really excited for people to see just because there's just so much talent across the board. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the first one on that list was a Tennessee volunteer, huh? Yeah, I mean, you know, just first one that came to mind. Maddie seegers from Villanova. There are four seeds, but Maddie seegers from Villanova is an absolute bucket. Like, she's the one that Rebecca lobo and I have talked about because you think, oh, Villanova and you don't think too much about Villanova, but Maddie seagrass is one to watch for sure.

"Be coming to you on Fridays will be coming in at some point in the mid week. I'm rob Joyce joined by some royalty you read her, you read her sub stacks, you listen to her on the unplugged podcast on her hoop stats, you read her in The Washington Post this week, you've seen her on bleacher report on the action network at this rate. You're gonna turn on ABC for the national title game and Ryan ruko and Rebecca lobo and Megan gower. Megan, how are you? I'm good, busy. All that. And she has a day job folks. She doesn't sleep. Thanks for making this. Making the time for us a normal folks. And you hear that? I don't know if you can hear it. That's a bracket. Paper bracket printed filled out, we're talking NCAA tournament, do you do a paper break? How do you do your bracket? Paper, online only. I usually just do it online. Mostly because I don't own a printer and I haven't been to the office at all. I also print anything so fair. The CBS one that I print for the men that's in color, ESPN is black and white. I have no issues with either one, but yeah, we give the work printer. We give that toner a workout here on Monday morning. We're going to talk about everything in terms of the bracket. We're going to go region by region, Megan. We're going to start though by highlighting some of your successes, our resident bracketologist. For the most part, you're pretty much on the money for the top 16 seeds. You got a couple of your flip Stanford and Iowa, I think. You flip Texas and duke who were all in the same region, but you got 15 of the 16 top four seeds is the whiteboard in hibernation for the summer. Yeah, it just gets retired now. We don't have to see it until next year, so it is done. We'll go region by region, but I kind of want to get some of your general overviews, particularly with the first couple of playing games over the next 48 hours. The last four teams in Purdue, saint Johns, Illinois, Mississippi state, Columbia, lost in the semi, so they're the first team out. Kansas may be a surprise. The second team out, Oregon, I think you and I are both a little surprised by the ducks absence, despite their kind of mediocre overall record, but the metrics are really good and then you mess. So what are your thoughts on those last couple of teams that made it in? Those first couple of teams that are in the WN IT. Yeah, Columbia, I would have had in and that was I think the biggest surprise to me. I thought they had a good enough resume for an at large. But the team I would have took out somehow ended up as a tempted and West Virginia is not in that play in round and I was kind of surprised by that they were pretty squarely in the field. I think the other thing that was the biggest surprise to me was Illinois being in a play in game. I did not expect that at all. I thought they were more would have been where West Virginia is at a solid ten firmly in the field. Yeah, and I thought it was a good showing for the big east. St. John's was right on that line, but marquette, we talked about them, maybe they would be in a plane game. They were 9 seed. That might be punished by being a 9 seat on the region that ren will get to that, but and then Kansas, I didn't think that they were necessarily on the bubble. I mean, that was a brutal loss to TCU, but one lost doesn't make a whole resume. I was a little surprised to jayhawks. We haven't really talked about much in the last couple of months that they didn't make it. Yeah, I feel like they started the season well and kind of struggled down the strats enough. I wonder if that kind of just did them in and then like you said, that TCU lost a bad loss if you're already sitting on the bubble that's not to kind of lost you want to be adding to your resume in late March or early March. Yeah, so those are the teams out. No offense. We're not going to talk at all about the W and IT. So those teams hopefully they go on runs. We're going to talk about brackets. Basics and picking your bracket will start with this, just a couple of, you know, maybe you're new to this, maybe you're just looking for a little advice. If you're filling out a women's bracket, Megan, you know, feel free to chime in as you will for starters. The parody in the game is growing. We're going to talk a lot about could high seeds lose second rounds. Sweet 16. Before the final four, that being said, no team seeded forth or worst has ever won a national title. No team seeded third has won a national title since the 90s. And that team was called Tennessee, so does that really count? So your one siege overwhelmingly win the title, if you pick a two seat, will allow it. Other side of things, no 14 seed, no 15 seat has ever won a game. The 16 seed, Harvard, famously beat that beaten up Stanford team. The only 16 to be to one. So if you're gonna pick a Cinderella, maybe go a little higher in the bracket, you're 11, you're 12s, maybe you're 13s. And on average, speaking of that, at 11 seat in the 12 seat on average, they win a game every single year. So Megan has the parity grows. We're gonna have someone to make a run. Just a matter of you have to pick the right person. Yeah, exactly. I think we're gonna see plenty of upsets, but like you said, I still think even with the parody and the chaos, like who eventually went the title is probably sitting on the one or two line. Yes. So let's start right away. The stunning news of the field, South Carolina is the number one overall seed. They will play, they will not have to get on a plane until Dallas, they play the SEC tournament in Greenville, they will play the first two rounds in Colombia, and then assuming they win those first two games, they will head back to Greenville for the sweet 16 and if possible the elite. So obviously South Carolina, it's theirs to lose. We can talk about a path to them losing. If you want, I don't really see it in at least until the final four, but do you see anyone one through? I'll say one through 16. All due respect to Norfolk state, I don't see it that way. But do you see anyone beating South Carolina before Dallas? I don't think it will happen. I think if someone does it, it'll be UCLA or Maryland. UCLA had that close game with them earlier in the year. This is a much better Maryland team than the Maryland team that played South Carolina early in their year. Those teams both have a little bit of familiarity with the gamecocks on their side, but I still think South Carolina's going to far before. I agree with that. We will pick all of the regions here and I don't think either of us are. Spoiling anything, I have South Carolina on the final four. Sounds like you do as well. I do want to talk about the 8 9 matchup it may not matter as they'll run into the gamecocks, but we mentioned before marquette, we thought they were a bubble team. It turns out they were firmly in the field comfortably as a 9 seed. I bet Meghan Duffy after seeing who they would play if they beat USF wishes, maybe they were a ten seat or heck. I think she might take the play in game and just avoid South Carolina altogether, but a good showing for the golden eagles, but a tough matchup. I really like these 8 9 matchups in the first one. Marquette in South Florida, I think, two teams that kind of fly under the radar, but that should be a very entertaining 8 9 matchup.

"So Holly Rowe, it is conference tournament time now in college basketball. And the women's game has the Iowa hawkeyes, aforementioned, playing their first game of the Big Ten tournament later today. And again, yes, everybody is going to be watching to see if Caitlyn Clark can one up herself. But for those of us who have not seen her play nearly as much as you have, how to describe her game, like the style of play that you bring. So I've been thinking about this a lot because a lot of people are comparing her to Steph Curry because she can hit the tough shot. Caitlin Clark from the logo. One can Caitlin Clark do. She can hit the deep logo three. She pulls up from anywhere. Holy smokes another deep three from Caitlin Clark. Incredible. What did she do? What did she just do? She's got that kind of flavor that Steph Curry has, but I think a better comparison to me is if Sue bird and Dina Teresa had a baby, it's Caitlyn Clark. And I'm just totally serious about terrifying. To contemplate. A terrifying baby. Or a miraculous amazing baby because she has these moments of composure and running the offense. She's got a super high court IQ of knowing what when making plays happen. And she really reminds me of super she's a big guard and then she's got this flavor for what when in the game and so it really reminds me of Sue bird and how she sees the floor and how she runs a team. But then she pairs it with the swag licious, can I say shit talking if I can't? You absolutely can and should. Okay, talking in your face fist pumping swag delicious vibe of Diana tarazi and she pairs that with hitting these impossible shots and these big moment shots. We don't know how she did it. She's not afraid of the moment she loves the moment. And that just really reminds me of Diana tarazi and her ability to score from anywhere, score a lot of different ways, but then add the flavor and the competitive fire and juice. So I just think she's like this perfect compliment and blend of both of them. Yes, she has her mother's talking ability and this scouting report. With his dead on, I mean, it is an earned arrogance, which is something that we, let's be honest, Holly, as you were sort of alluding to, we don't often see it to this degree. In women's basketball, right? I mean, I just want to run through some of the beats here just to give it more sort of context. We've seen her get a technical for taunting before. Knocks it in. And in preparations for this game. I think it's a technical foul. We've seen her revel in the booze from opposing crowds like she's, you know, Russell Crowe and Gladiator. Marcus sonata calming down the young passionate sophomore, Caitlin Clark, who was egging on the crowd. She is not somebody who's afraid of the spotlight getting hotter. Yeah, I think what it is is she loves the stage and when she steps onto the court, she is performing on the stage. And I don't think it's a calculated performance. It is a, this is who I am as a competitor, enjoy it. We were there two weeks ago, a big game against Maryland and Rebecca lobo made the comment. She has the crowd on a string. When she's going to hit a big shot, the whole crowd holds their breath. Like the crowd is in the palm of her hand. So she's a great Maestro on a stage, I would say. But I think the thing that I love about it is, you know, for whatever reason, we expect women to be well behaved in sports. This has been a really hot topic in women's basketball this year because we have another player in the SEC angel Reese who is demonstrative, you know, she's blocking a shot with a shoe in her hand and talking her talk and she's getting tdap. And so we actually had a rules Carl recently with the officiating crew and this will give you some interesting debate. I'd love to get your thoughts on it. Sure. I actually asked the question on our call with our supervisor of officials, is it fair to officiate women so they can not be as emotional and demonstrative as we see MenB in the college game. And I thought she had a really good response where she said, we want decorum. We want good sportsmanship. We don't necessarily think it's good how the men are behaving in their game. So we want to hold the women to a higher standard, which I kind of liked that response and I don't necessarily disagree with it. But I don't think we should officiate the emotion of women. I don't think it's fair. I think the women should be able to be exactly who they are. Yeah, I look my perspective on this can be summarized pretty briefly, which is decorum. Fans, Holly, Holly, these moments, these viral moments, these emotional moments are what make this thing like, not just exciting, but goose bumpy level, exciting. And for Caitlin Clark, I mean, the stage presence that you're describing. I mean, it all raises this larger question to me of how does this person in reality absent Sue and Diana getting together? How does she get made, right? Like, when did you first start to play basketball? So she started at a very young age. She was about 5 years old and she grew up in Iowa. She has an older brother who actually plays football. And she grew up playing with and against her older brother, playing with her family and she started playing basketball in boys leagues. So I think until she was in the fourth grade, she was on the boys teams. And so I just think she kind of grew up, you know, we put young kids, you know, this is a whole nother psychological podcast. I'm sure of how we how we mentor and grow gender as kids. You know, like we expect boys to behave this way, girls behave this way. And that is instilled from a very young age. And because she was playing with the boys. I don't think she had any boxes put around her. No lid on her box. She just got to be Caitlin on this team. So the core of her competitive DNA is playing against the boys and being brave and ferocious and demonstrative.

Just because it's it's a lot for her to be like legitimately the only point guard on this guy roster which is sort of. She was dealing with the past few seasons. And then i watch this guy. And i sort of feel like were toddling between two different identities. Were like they're trying to be the team. They were last year. Where this kind of forget about canvas and then they just make everything run through kansas but like without utilizing the talents everybody else at the same time And i don't quite understand why they haven't figured out has can't stop and healthy enough to practice with them like do they not have the institutional knowhow to figure out how to play out of there. I mean can. This has been league for a long time. I don't think our silence plays changed all that much. You know canisters known. You're getting into like. I mean it's not like this brand new skill set that she's out this year. This is the candace parker that she's been for a few years now So i i'm more confused than anything as to why that's like you. You're mentioning like why they don't use roller. There was a national. Tv game sky storm a couple of weeks. Back where like literally rebecca lobo. She's saying over and over again. Can we get gordon Candace parker being role. Can we gotta pick and roll over and over again. Wouldn't this be real easy way to take advantage of the two best playmakers you have on your team and i don't know maybe it's like not pretty enough for the gotta do like it's not entered death on sort of reminded of like when.

No. Second day in a row, tried to open the show with News on women's sports for the first time in the history of his career. Yes, of Dad's then nothing to do with won't miss a beat on just, you know, just taking the number one story you followed him all year. What I feel champions. Those resonates in the hearts of the sport talk listeners and, Yeah, I just opened the show. I got hooked him a little. And then I say the pleasantries to you and Ed and I'm like, Hey, Hello. What's going on? And then eventually I circled back around to that story where I live, where I will crap on the Lady Women's Longhorn basketball was a tough A tough night. Tough night for the for the Texas women. Yeah, for Texas all around. You see those idiots out there running around. You gotta get past the horns down. That's that's gonna happen everywhere. I understand that got to do that, and we got beat me. No, it's not like I was booted. Have you ever after a game gone around like this? With the thumbs down for the horse. Nine. Stupid What? What All they got in life. Now kiss your sister. That was the picture for a name at the final out. He did the they got down. They got us two old last night. Uh, 60 to 34, South Carolina. The Lady Gamecocks Beecher Longhorns in the elite eight. Last night, they move on to the final 431 seeds and a three seat. I believe in the women's Final four and one left him again. What much of a game last night all about the things that printed out on your paper Right now, That's just sort of time right here watching. Let's just close my eyes and you know the names of them Stanford. Stanford, Wild Carolina Yukon, Arizona. Booyah. Wow, Don't let it go. I'm like Rebecca Lobo up in this. Yeah. Beautiful lamp. Lady Gamecocks got on him pretty early on, and I did. But the finish was really the ugly part. The University of Texas scored zero points in the fourth week. Well, the row I told you, you know, 20 shots they missed in around Miss 20 straight shots, too. In the game of street, the dated that went back. To the third quarter 2.5 minutes left in the third. They hit a three. That was their final score in the game. A lot of great teams miss eight shots in a row at the end of the game. Chicken, So it happens. But, hey, they had a great season. Who would've fuck it First, you're robotic shaper. No ends three and she double eight games and Shaka Smart one. No inside, double games and time in six years of Texas. I have go ahead just say they could've gotten beat by 40. It takes nothing away from what they accomplished this tournament and there's something to be said about The air, you know, out of the balloon or whatever, or the wheels falling off. I think the team just ran out of gas man. Unfortunately, think they celebrate little charity, too. That was a big win. Against Maryland, and they just kind of went Went crazy after one which you gotta be excited, but you gotta always look to the next game. I mean, well, because they were partying in the locker room. They just jumping up and down those done. You gotta act like you've been there before. No. You get excited after deal, but there I mean, I think they won the national I think they were just, uh, South Carolina. Just good. Just realized. I agree that really good. They don't. They didn't have an answer for him. And then Yeah. Once things started to go bad, they snowballed. And, yeah, I just I mean here if you want the number 23% shooting for the Longhorns, they turned it over 15 times were blocked 40. Sometimes that is a problem. South Carolina letting that girl walk tall Yeah. Yeah. Long arms and the zero point fourth quarter the first scoreless quarter in women's NC double a tournament history. We have only been playing quarters since 2016, which has still get confused about that play quarters in the men's game, All right, his have their stupid. How dare you that's like adding an extra game to the NFL season at just Can't handle that matter. All the numbers. Yeah, it's the same. Don't need to do quarters in college here is why is because Is that we have the one in one thing because they play haves and not quarters. If you played quarters, then you could just do a regular bonus like they do in the MBA. But when you play halves, they don't want teams to get in the bonus. Super early on, and then you're shooting 1000 everything. I feel like the one and one is it's exciting free throws. Yeah, it's extra punitive to the team. If you're not a great free, throw some whatever play quarters. That's that's how basketball supposed to be played. 34 points, fewest in an elite eight gamer later in women's NC double a tournament history, So, yeah, not a great historic night for the Longhorns, but I have no doubt Picture. I wish I had this confidence about any other program in Texas. I have no doubt Vic Schaefer is going to turn that program into a you know, an absolute gauntlet and a gargantuan program. It's gonna be great to see them battle with Baylor over the next few years because Baylor the strings got in for Baylor sometime. Because Baylor's dominated Texas you're dominated the conference for years. So maybe vics, the guy that will what did you get your pick? Shaffer Tattoo. Jason. Uh, I've got an appointment tonight. I didn't know you're such a big Stankovic. Um Well, look, I I knew when he got the job of what he did in Mississippi State that the guy was, you know you legit. Yeah. Yeah, listen. I did not watch in here that pay attention and that it's not. I would know I was gonna say something terrible. I'm not going to say you think I'm excited for the future of women's college basketball on 40 Acres, and I wish that I had the same confidence in the football or basketball program because basketball is gonna be literally next year, with or without crispier because Tonight, Baby. You're good Watch. You're gonna get the news tonight. All right? You said 8 30. I don't know why that Zappa Ning tonight. Okay, that unofficially happened after April for it'll be made official tomorrow, Sources say there will be your spirit will be blown saying yes to Texas tonight.

Very good ride. I was wondering what you're gonna do. Very good and lil bueller so simple but it works so by these. Men's lovely puns and call backs to the thirty. Th anniversary of fears believes day off. We are actually going to look into it and dissect the film and talk about how face bieler as much as we love. The movie is one of the worst human beings that ever lived. Worsen zack morris. That's a good question. I mean we could get into and we get into the area but that's very very question. I think i'll take. I think i'd rather hang out with fierce bueller. That's the sax powers just like stayed in that high school buehler's powers transcended like the whole city of chicago. Like the only thing. Zack morris did was like he made an imaginary band and he saved french forever. I can't i don't governor. Now governor governor of california in the newspaper about so. He did retire in the second series. Any i guess you're right. Yes so let's get into the news of the week I know ryan decided not to riot ryan decides not to get doesn't like the tease. He doesn't like the foreplay. He just likes the oscars so he did not watch the golden globes so leo did l. Yeah did so so. I guess i guess we'll start off with this. What did you think of the presentation It's it's funny because like it's been a year now right and it's like there's still some things that feel kinda like i'm watching a youtube bike band thing instead of like actual official production of. I think it went well cool. I think the little rooms. They had with the nominees the fact that you and Amy and tina went to different. Locations was pretty interesting but No huge complaints. I know everyone's doing the best. They can yeah. I i think. I'm the only one here the emmys because jenny didn't even see the emmys. The emmys did the emmys did really well. I think the perfect they actually To save time for for for all the nominees. They actually did of the emmys. Did this ain't that all of comedy. I and they did all of limited and then the drama. So you kinda don't so you kinda don't have everyone just sitting around. All night has an dave do they. I think they do but do they. Change the awards and the order of the awards depending on like what's the most like they change. They change it. Every couple of years. I i suspect the oscars will do the same with chadwick. 'cause i think we're gonna we'll get into it but chadwick is probably gonna sweep and usually lead actor is last last year Lead actress was last before the best picture witter. I think we're going to get into the same boat this year. I think chadwick We'll be near the middle middle indicia the show but i think lead actress is going to be second to last Tv side dominated and it just may be finally to start to crown. Because i i wanted to just wait to. Everything was over but man. It seems like i can't wait anymore. You binged it's you're like just go right now to go for it. It's funny because like it's it's one of these weirder like time wise because it's it's happening. It's technically speaking of royal family. Drama stuff is still happening today. So like i'm wondering if there will ever be a point in time where like fiction meets reality and it's like oh crap with them start making it up now I think you just jumping on board. Now we'll be fantastic. They're easily easily digestible to enjoy it. And i'm going to guesstimate the ryan. You've never seen the crowd. I have not Comedy wise jason daycares. I want that vibe. I want that vibe and we're hoodies. During all my meetings going forward. I feel like his his like his agent building as agent. Okay listen i need you to be awake out of zoom call at this time. I didn't tell him what the viewpoint with four. And i've never smoked weed. But i think he was high. I think everyone thinks he was shot to shadow to To don cheadle when he was like. Here's like all right. Let's wrap it up guy. And then outside of that overall i mean no real shocks. Tv side. i think. I think pretty much everyone that one should have shits shits creek one And then queen's gambit. Have you guys in queens. Get using queen's gambit right leo yeah that's so good i assume you have not seen queen's gambit i have not like it's it's good i like we've said it'll make chess interesting for you to finish up on the movie side so danny khalil wants supporting actor which i love. I'm glad what i got wrong was Was something like that. Because i just the best performance one. It was in the whole race thing. I was dave. I think even when you even when you picked it. I think even you made the caveat of like you knew the good performance but like you're talking like you're making your guesses based on like the politics of what you thought. The awards were going to go. And i will let you're right. And ironically i should have done the opposite of my predictions and should have thought of the fact that these i believe ballots were still in hand after the article about the no black members because we kinda followed a certain trajectory and then we have the sh two shocks of the night outside of kaluga. He wasn't really a shock. Because that was the performance so the biggest to shocks for me was maria. Buckle ova not winning lead a lead actress and accommodation musical over rosamund pike carolina and you saw carolina. Leo after the podcast last week when you did did you like it Amazing yeah ever. Performance reminded me very much of laura dern in in marriage thing yeah like this shark brutal woman. That's just like a killer. Now like wow. She killed this role like she. And the the not too many spoilers but the movie goes into a very intense and crazy way plays i. Actually i actually would have said if the end didn't happen the end if that didn't happen they're part of would have liked the movie lease because i think certain things need to happen for someone that does certain things like that. But what do we agree is holy. We can't romanticize this type of person. Too much The the buckle of laws kind of a critics choice in sag. I don't think she. I think she may get snubbed. At the oscars. Yeah and i think it's more shocking. Because sasha baron cohen one actor and then bora one comedy or musical back. I was like okay. So you're okay with that book. Berio mcmurray rebecca lobo which was the best performance in the movie. I was a little surprised by that. And then the biggest what. The fuck moment of the night was yeah Andrade wouldn't be. Yeah yeah what. I mean i i i was.

"And admired him. So i thought he was a natural choice for me. The other thing is you talked about your mother and when you came out with your book and you were here on sports byline you talk so lovingly about her and i got a lot of emails saying it's nice to hear somebody in sports. Talk nice about their mom. But you did the same thing when you gave. Your speech is well. Can you kind of touch a little bit on what she meant to you. And your life. One of the things that i mentioned was how we're we're just byproducts of You know the environment that we grew up in and If you're fortunate enough to have parents that that That raise you you know you. You end up taking a lot of their qualities And become part of your qualities and and for me. It was one of Learning from her what it means to Get along with people and and sacrifice certain things to get others and Try to do things the right way instead of best of your ability. All the time and and You know it was an invaluable lesson in Kinda the passion and the compassionate you have to have the be success one in in any endeavor that you do. And that's when. I tell people when she was eleven or twelve or whatever. And you know the nazis taken over our town and she has to hide in the hills where you know five brothers and sisters and when i hear my player me coachman is really hard. I'd say really. I want to bring somebody to talk to you. Talk about what's hard. You also mentioned that. She talked about the the ravages of world war two and and use the experience to ensure that her family had compassion also Passion and love those three very interesting things. That are carryovers do you. How do you practice those in your coaching These days i think again I you know. I don't necessarily love my players while they're playing for me either practice or sometimes during the game. But i i think you have to I'll let them know that everything you do is is is to help them. And and and that. You're you're there for them not just wonder playing well but when they're playing poorly when they're done playing when they've moved on with their life as a basketball player That once you become part of of of the family then You're part of that Forever and i think that transcend the wins and losses on the basketball court nba. commissioner david. Stern credited your success with helping the launch the wnba saying that that connecticut rebecca lobo being one of the early players was spectacular for the nba. Did you understand that. And appreciate the significance of that i did. I did because Of our proximity to new york into The league offices and knowing dave and It we happen to come around at the exact right time. And and rebecca what is the perfect person and That team captured the imagination of the entire country And then you throw the olympics on top of that the very following summer I think it was a natural segue into wnba. Rebecca was the perfect player to To handle that role gino. I know that Coaches and players all use a motivational tools. Now you've accomplished something. That is major. I mean being inducted into the basketball hall of fame is a major thing. What then keeps you motivated. Keeps you pushing forward. I would like to think that it's something a internal some kind of mechanism that makes you want to be successful and be good at whatever endeavor you choose But it may be as simple as wait a minute if we lose The other guys over there saying yes some hall of fame where you are. I just got coached. Your but you know Sometimes it's just don't want To feel like you didn't do as good a job as you could and you don't want anyone to get the better of So i think there's a there's a bunch of things at play That i think if you you know if you use them properly can keep you going and you know in the right direction. One of the other inductees with you is a big east. Commissioner dave gavin and you gave him an awful lot of credit. Because you said all big east coaches oh their careers today. Gavitt can you explain a little bit further what you meant. I think every coach were successful in their own right individually. But i think dave gave them gave all of us a vehicle that we could Use to get to where we wanted to go. I mean the big east was a phenomenon that before that Had never you know college basketball. I've never seen anything like that. A league made Four television you know in partnership with. espn You know big monday. Became you know. John thompson and jim boeheim in the carrier. Dome louis carnesecca rolling mass amino madison madison square garden Walter berry and Pro washington. I mean it was just an unbelievable set of coaches and the right place at the right time and division of gavitt made it all happen others to go in with you charles. Barkley dominique wilkins joe dumars. Also italian coach. Sandra gomba along with dave gavitt as i indicated. Talk to me about what you came away with with. What barkley and wilkins and dumars and others had to say. Well the fact that you create a little bit of relationship with with those fellows I think is a a byproduct of of you're always going to be somewhat connected with that group and you're amazed to see dominique and The ways put together and how he might be able to go out there and play right now and you look at them. You say here's a guy who Waited his turn. You deserve to be in their long time ago and yet he did you know. He ended it with dignity You know sandra gomba is a guy that most americans probably would know except that european league is is as good as it is. Probably because of guys like sandro and chesney rubino his. His coach was also in the hall of fame and and what we can learn from them And joe dumars without question. One of the most I think sincere Humble One of the greatest guy. I just i i could talk to joe joe dumars four hours a day and then i really it was a pleasure meeting him and getting to know him a little bit about dave But you know but charles is is is one of a kind. You know whatever you see charles on tv tnt or anything that he does Magnify that to another level after he's like in real life gino. I was talking with ray allen recently and also. I've talked to mike. Oh about this. And i'd like to get a coach's perspective on this because i've always thought it was true. They as players confirmed it. But i'd like to get your perspective. And that is i've always felt that the greatest motivating factor for an athlete And particularly the ones that are outstanding is the fear of failure. Well i think that's a big part of it. I think most great athletes are great coaches or anyone who's great in anything has some of that in that You know probably some of this concept of don't want to let anybody down But i think that the fear of failure is also augmented by an incredible desire to want to win to want to be successful Fear failure in and of itself. Probably doesn't get you to the level that you know some of these guys that you've talked about. I think there's gotta be some of that. But an awful lot of a.

ESPN Daily
The End of UConn's Dominance?
"China Robinson is a women's basketball analyst at ESPN and the host of the around. The Rim podcast. Tonight we've got uconn women's basketball ascot ball versus Tennessee to traditional powerhouse rivals. Though hasn't been that case for a while now and for you on in particular. I think it's been an interesting year. If you haven't been paying attention to Uconn over the last few years you might assume that they're just gonNA blow them out like they blow out everyone but that hasn't been the case recently. No no it has not and in case. You're checking the trophy case. There has not been a national championship. Kinship Trophy in stores over the last three years which is reason to panic honestly Meena. It's all relative to Connecticut. Success asked him they have eleven national championship so the standard is always going to be national championship or bust. It is a story line for sure because we used to be able to just check the box pencil in Connecticut. Moving right along but has more gray hair right now than I used to. Seeing this group Pez definitely tested the boundaries of what we know to be uconn success and so it should be an interesting game Tennessee mm-hmm so they're still very good. They're just not worldbeaters the way they used to be. I mean there's there's sixty one and they have not how lost to an unranked team since two thousand twelve so like our expectations are almost like it's really kind of ridiculous Gino's talked about it for sixteen and one. What do I have to answer why? We're not waiting for why we missed so many shots or why we turn the ball or why I like what I thought the object was to win the game. These right like the goal is to win we're used to seeing Yukon be Yukon like b-teams by fifty. Not some of the questions that were asking about their program. You should write because there is a kind of fall from grace. They haven't made it past the final four in the last three years after winning four straight national championships but to say that Connecticut is not a good team and some of the other things. We've heard out here. That's just to me a little bit of a stretch. I think you make a good point which I know. which is it's? It's more about the standard the expectation and that this program set as recently as the twenty sixteen season they went thirty eight zero but it was after that as you point out when they started to slip a little bit. When did that I begin? The recent slippage to me has everything to do with the graduation of Rian Stuart. Poynter the Rian Stewart is a player like we have never seen in college basketball. He's most outstanding player of the final four four years years in a row. When you look at Connecticut success it's been connected to great players like Brianna Stewart won four of those eleven championship? It brings back in two thousand thirteen. Diana went three for you. GotTa try more with two seven. It has won the national championship. Dino said it himself he once said hey we have Diana to Rasi and you don't now is the difference between them in the rest of the country and or time. That was everything and that to me has been a key to their dominance is having that Maya Moore bringing a Stewart Dinas Rasi easy when so the conversation even if you go way way back and look at the history of Tennessee in Connecticut. For example that then women's College basketball did not have have the depth of talent in my opinion that there is now so it was like if you didn't get should be Coleslaw. Good luck if you didn't get Rebecca Lobo Good luck so so what we're seeing now is not just about what you con- is not but that other programs are competing recruiting Asia Wilson. WHO's the number one overall a player coming out of high school goes to South Carolina or Haley Jones? The number one overall recruit goes to Stanford then the conversation starts to change so now there is more good players and as you're saying they're more spread out across programs. Do you think any of them chose not to go to uconn because of you know the competition in a successor. Do you think it was just the product of other programs grams. Making good cells to them. First of all Gino's not for everybody when I watch game film. I'm checking what's going on the bench. Somebody's asleep over there. Somebody doesn't care hear. Somebody's not engaged in the game. They will never get into ever and they know that I'm not kidding. You know. I mean his his coaching shing style. The expectations everyone is not cut out for that. Think about Elena de Leon who actually went to Connecticut and that no thanks and
