I don't think the quality of their team is a Final Four type team.

But you got to beat a Santa Clara.

And they did what they had to do.

Well, it's interesting.

This is the last year of the collective ballgame agreement in baseball, and they're talking about the need for a cap.

And why do you see some of the better teams in baseball with the higher salaries usually in the playoffs?

So there's no cap in college basketball.

So I think the mentality of chalk really exists because of the fact that the teams and the schools and the conferences that are most committed are usually going to be there.

And the transfer portal, though, is a great equalizer.

And when you're a big-level school, you can poach a guy from mid-conferences.

You're seeing some guys perform at a high level that came from low to mid-major schools, and they're able to pick and select.

So it gets really, really hard to have as competitive a tournament as maybe we've had in the past.

Well, they got two injuries.

Two of their starters are out right now, so they're not as good.

They're a one seed, but their one seed is based upon the totality of their work from the beginning of the season in November.

But if the eye tests to me, I give John Shire, their coach, a lot of credit

At halftime, he made an adjustment.

They went to a zone against a small team from the MAAC conference in Siena.

And usually when you have the better talent, you want to press, you want to trap.

You say, we're just going to physically overwhelm these guys.
