And I think that USC had to do that first before they can put their eyes on, like the Big Ten tournament and the NCAA big dance. They now are Big Ten champs. They are accomplishing things. You need some tangible wins, feathers in your cap as you take this walk along the way into March Madness. And they have those that they can hang on to, signature moments.

And I also think Juju Watkins made a huge statement. That first game, the 38 points and the eight blocks, it was super loud. So we figured when you go to UCLA, they were going to be locked in and kind of quiet her. And instead, Juju seems to be shining at her best, playing at her highest level when the lights are brightest and when the challenge is really big and the odds may even be against her.

And it's not just the points she put in. What's impressive to me is that she completely can dominate a game on offense and defense and throughout the stat line. And, you know, earlier in the show, Logan, we were talking about like, could there be another player who captivates in the way that Caitlin Clark did? I think we're on track for that.

Like I think team success and individual success as you march through conference tournament into March madness. And as the magnifying glass gets bigger and casuals are starting to watch and you If Juju can continue on this track, I think we could see Juju mania this season. I think we could, we haven't seen it yet.

We have seen nice respectful commentary about a very nice college player who's doing well at the end of the season. And she's been up and down throughout the season at times. But if Juju continues to capture whatever she's got and put it in a bottle and take this through March into a deep run in the tournament, I guarantee Juju mania like at the highest level

begins at a level that I mean, she's already got like billboards on buildings in the streets. So that's pretty impressive for a sophomore. But like, I'm talking like, she could be with what we saw from Caitlin, I think.

Yeah, it's an important call out. You're not going to go far if you're not going to have team success. It will not just be the juju show to take them far in the Big Ten or in the NCAA tournament.

It's anticlimactic. It's whack. Throw some tomatoes at it. However, the regular season conference championship is only about record. So if the record is tied, then you are tied for that. Now where there is only one champion is in the conference tournament. So that's where you've got to set your sights. But as far as a coin flip, no, that's not exciting, but that is the way it worked out.

And so now it's the job of those coaches and for the vets in the locker room to reframe the scenario. Not that they got lucky that South Carolina

a coin flip decided that they were the one seed no both of those teams sc texas they both had a win in order to be win their last game in order to be in that situation so they did in some ways take control of their destiny and now here they are new mindset opportunity to also be positioning yourself for an overall one seed and i kind of have a prediction that it's going to come down to texas and south carolina in that final which would be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think before we, the first player we got a shout out is Maddie Segrist, right? She's the, she is the champion. And for those who are confused by that, like what's happening at Athletes Unlimited, they have a very unique way of scoring. So they don't crown a team champion. They crown an individual champion.
