Yeah, I was saying that you should consider kissing the ref next time because I don't think they'll tee you up for that.

I think they'd just be like, wait, what just happened?

Nobody could be mad at you after the fact either.

It's like, oh, love is love.

Yeah, and it was very clear in the moment.

It wasn't premeditated.

I was defending you.

I said that it looked like he was trying to tell you something, and it was so loud that most people listen best when they're forehead to forehead, and that's what you were trying to do.

You were just leaning in to listen.

I heard that your assistants didn't even tell you how bad the shooting performance was for UConn.

Is that true?

You asked them and they wouldn't give you a straight line?

Yeah, it was crazy.

It was an unbelievable game.

This is why we love the tournament.

I have a theory, and you can tell me if this is way off, but I actually feel like the most important part of that game was not the end, was not like the last four minutes.

It was actually like the last three minutes of the first half because you guys were getting dog walked.

And then you had a little stretch where Duke missed.

I don't think they scored a bucket for like three minutes.

How important is that though?
