I don't know if they're underrated, defensively, they're a really good defensive team. Everybody keeps saying they only have five starters. Their bench is not very good, but their five starters are damn good. I like them a lot. I just have kind of a feeling that one of the old horses is going to make some noise, either Izzo or Kelvin Sampson.
I'm just probably pulling because they're closer to me in age than anybody else. But hopefully one of those two guys, Michigan State or Houston, will do some damage.

He's a machine. It doesn't matter now. They change conferences. Everybody goes, oh, how are they going to adjust to the Big 12? They've owned it since they went into the Big 12. He loses guys. It doesn't matter. He's an exceptional coach. He drives his – he's got a great rapport with his players. I don't want to say they allow him, but, I mean, he is tough. He's on them.

If you go to their practices, their shoot arounds, there's no middle ground. Like if they don't do what he wants, he's very direct. He tells them, but they, you know, they love him too. His son is excellent, which really helps an awful lot. He's always had a good staff. He's losing Qantas this year. They defend and they rebound. St. John's was very much like them, right? I knew St.

John's had to dodge a bullet somewhere. They shoot the ball so poorly. And I thought if they got a bad whistle somewhere along, a tight whistle, I shouldn't say a bad whistle. I thought if they got a tight whistle somewhere along the way, that was the game they were going to have to find a way. There always seems to be one if you're,

good enough to get to the final four, you know, and play five or six games. You got to dodge a bullet somewhere. And that was St. John's bullet against Arkansas. And they couldn't do it, but they're very, very similar. They turn you over. Their best offense is points off turnovers and offensive rebounds. Kelvin's got an expression.

He talks about six hands, you know, those three guys up climbing on the glass with their each of them with two hands up in the air. They're not a good, they're a great rebounding team, especially offensively. So they generate points. They guard the hell out of you. He always has very, very good athleticism overall.

He's got length, may not necessarily have seven footers, but he's got length and he's got jumping ability and they're strong. They get after you. He's played small guards. That hasn't made any difference. We were in, I think it was the South region. I was in Dallas last year. with Raph and those guys, and Ryan Radke and I were there.
