Dan Hurley and Porter Moser have been in a situation where they've coached in a final four in the last decade. Dan Hurley's won two national titles. I'm taking Nick Clifford in Colorado state over Memphis, Maryland over grand Canyon. Drake started from the bottom. Now they're here. In my opinion has, has for all intents and purposes, an interesting road here.

And I'm going to tell you why you got Missouri, Missouri, And you got Ben McCollum, who's really looking like, you know, a bit of a wizard. At Drake, it wouldn't shock me if next year he's coaching somewhere in the Big Ten. He's got a 30-win team with four D2 transfers. One of them, Mitch Muscari, has made 86 three-point shots this year.

If Drake beats Missouri, Drake gets a vulnerable Texas Tech team in the round of 32. Now, why are they vulnerable? Grant McCaslin told me earlier on Sunday night that he expects Chance McMillan and Darian Williams to play in the first round against UNC Wilmington. But with that said... Those players didn't play in Texas Tech's last Big 12 tournament game due to injuries.

So Texas Tech's a little bit banged up. I think Drake is a team with Ben McCollum, if it can get by Missouri, that could maybe flirt with a chance to go to the Sweet 16. And then how about the lower part of that region in Providence? Kansas and Arkansas, Calipari against Self, two coaches that coached against each other in the title game in 2012, and then St. John's takes on Omaha. Now look,

You guys understand media as well as anybody. I work for CBS. I know how much the program executives love to match up certain games on Saturday nights and going to 60 Minutes. And look, whoever St. John's plays on Saturday night is going to be crazy. Can you imagine if we get Calipari and Patino on Saturday night? And look, Patino himself would be great.

It would be an incredible matchup of Hall of Fame coaches. But if it's Calipari and Patino, it would become – appointment television, and it would be the third time that these guys have met in the NCAA tournament, I believe, yeah, since 2012. And remember, they also met in the 1996 Final Four. Now,

I've talked to Rick Pitino about this, and I did an interview with him when he was at Iona, and he made a joke about it, but I think he was telling the truth. He said one of the reasons why he came back to college was to get John Gallipari off his resume. Because if you think about it, these coaches each took three different schools to a Final Four.
