Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Red Pocket Mobile fan line is brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. We'll get some calls in throughout the day at 888-808-1019. Right now, though, it is... Time for Jerry's first update of the morning. What's going on, Jerry? Well, good morning.
Brought to you by Chef IQ, precision cooking, effortless results, chefiq.com. I will get you John Minko's call for next hour, but this hour I will give you Kevin Kugel or Westwood One on the fan. St. John's blows the 14-point lead, but has enough to take down Kansas in advance.
Inbound comes to Garland. Three seconds. Two seconds. Garland on the drive to the rim. Layup is good. Layup is good. St. John's wins it. 67-65. The St. John's Red Storm. Storm into the sweet 16.
As I mentioned, as heard right here on The Fan, Westwood won. How many times do you think Dylan Darling made that shot in his career, like throughout high school and college and just through his head? Like, the game's on the line. I'm going to take it all the way to the hole, and I'm just one of these sweeping kind of layups. Yeah, I mean, probably a lot because he's played a lot of basketball.
But, I mean, this one counted. This is the one. When I saw this angle, which on delay we're seeing it. At first, I'm like, what'd they do? Just let him run right to. That was a tough shot that he made.

Chapter 2: What happened in the St. John's buzzer-beater game?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean, it's like a sweeping right-handed. Let's throw it up. Almost like a jump hook as he's falling in towards the basket. I mean, the defender was right there. He was. And so they win 67-65 as they do advance. Zuby Etchafor and Bryce Hopkins at 18 points apiece. So I'm going to take you back to January.
You will remember Rick Pitino said this about Dylan Darling.
Dylan Darling, he's got balls as big as church bells. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Now I bring that up because he's going to talk about bells, which is what he calls him as he tells the story about how that play came to be from Darling in the huddle.
He is the amazing thing and the funniest thing I've ever been involved with. So we're going to run a play, but they got fouls to give. And Bells comes up to me and says, run power, which is a high back screen pick and roll. So I walk away. I said, okay, power.
And then as he walked away, he then realized.
Wait a second. He hasn't scored a bucket and he wants to run a play for himself. And then I'm thinking as I'm walking, I said, but he's Bells. And not only did he do it, he went with his right hand. So real proud of him because to want the ball when you haven't made a shot, It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable. They clipped it at the end. But, yes, so kind of a cool story right there. Here was Darling himself going out and getting it done.
I'm just glad it went in because if it didn't, you know, I'm probably not on the flight back to New York tonight. So happy it went in and happy to do it for Coach.

Chapter 3: How did Rick Pitino describe Dylan Darling's performance?
Get a life, bro. You get where he's coming from. So then they lose. 73-57 was the final, and then he was asked about getting past this point at UCLA.
Do you feel like anything needs to change with the approach, roster construction, or the way you're... Yeah, I have no... Right now, I'm worried about tonight consoling the guys. We'll stay here in the front row. I'd like about five more million.
There's my answer. To get more players. It's amazing. And they had a lot of money, I believe. I'm pretty sure their payroll was $12 or $13 million. Yeah. I mean, this is a historical basketball institution. I will tell you, though, you wouldn't know it out there. Like, when I went out there, like, yeah, it's neat. Pauline Pavilion is pretty cool. Very cool. Yes.
And when you see the wooden statue, it's amazing. You go in, you see the banners, the names, all of it's amazing. But they're not sold out. They were paying people before anybody. Well... Understood. Here's Danny Hurley. So now going forward, he got 27 from Alex Caraban in this win yesterday. They'll get Michigan State, again, 930, which will follow the St. John's game.
And so what Hurley here is imploring are the St. John's fans and the UConn fans to make it a very, very difficult environment for Duke and Michigan State.
It's pretty brutal on Twitter, I think, and social between our fan bases, but I think we've got to kind of try to come together on Friday night against our opponents so that then we can have a bloodbath on Sunday.
So they can play that fourth game. I mean, he is a maniac. Actually, both of these coaches, Petito and Danny Hurley, are pretty funny. Of course. They're hilarious. Yeah, you know, someone who was getting criticized was Kevin Willard over the weekend because he was doing that whole thing about, I got to fire my coaching staff. And then he did it again in the postgame.
So he did an interview where he's like, I got to fire some coaches. In the postgame, he was like, well, I got to fire some coaches. But he didn't do it. He never smiled or anything. And people were like, is he serious? And then he's like, well, come on. Of course it's a joke. Of course it's a joke that he's like chastises people for not knowing it's a joke. Do you remember him this time last year?
Yeah, I know. He was lying about everything. I'm not going. I am going. I'm staying. Nobody's told me anything. Okay, great. But with Hurley, the point is, with Hurley and Patino and others, when they're jerks, they kind of do it with a... Hurley will be like...

Chapter 4: What did Dylan Darling say about his winning shot?
It's like they had never been in that position.
It's strange. Yeah, very odd.
All of a sudden you find yourself in this position where all of a sudden all hell's breaking loose. And you don't have bells, as you pointed out. They do not have bells. That is true. And Tennessee beat Virginia 79-72. Wins for Arizona, Purdue, Iowa State, and for Alabama. The Knicks did play a game yesterday. They got past the Nets on Friday. Well, there was no surprise here.
They just clobbered the Wizards. Brunson turns, falls away, got it. Sweet jumper from Brunson, stayed in the game despite hurting his ankle. Which is an ongoing thing. He's a tough guy. Yes, he is. He's a tough guy. Mike Breen on MSG, 145-113 the final. Brunson had 23. Carl Anthony Towns, 26 points and 16 rebounds. And Josh Hart had a solid 16.6 boards. Here was Hart on the game.
I think we just continue to play our style. We had some lapses defensively, but for the most part, we were able to get stops and kind of just play our game.
They can actually catch Boston. I mean, they're right there.
They're right there.
And amazing, Detroit has won three in a row. And that's without, what's his name? Cade Cunningham. So they're not going to catch him. But the thing about the Boston situation, even the way the brackets are in the NBA, it's still going to be Boston and New York in the same side of the bracket. Doesn't matter. Two to three. Yeah, they're going to be on the same side of the bracket.
Really what it would come down to if they end up playing in a series together would be who would have the seventh game at home. That's basically what it comes down to. But as we saw last year, the Knicks are not afraid to win in Boston. No issues there. They should play better on the road for some reason. Yeah. Here was Mike Brown. Solid as compared to maybe Friday night in Brooklyn, which wasn't.

Chapter 5: What was Mick Cronin's reaction to media criticism?
Well, Brunson missed one and Towns missed both. And then here was one more. Talks about the, again, we talk about it all the time, but to hear these guys discuss it and what they realize, the opposing fans, how bad it is.
Oh, no, man. Just see a blue, see an orange. Every game we play, see the other team. I mean, I saw it here when I was on the Celtics, but. Being here, it's like I got nothing for respect for the real fans, like the real Brooklyn fans. Shout out to them, you know, because I know it's tough being outnumbered every single game. That is rough.
Yeah, well, we know. I mean, it's been going on for years. It just sounds sad. Even when they were winning, it's still. No, I disagree with that. When Durant was here, it was pretty good. It's probably the only time it's been like that. Not that first year. He didn't play. And he got paid. I don't know if you remember that. I do. Yeah. God almighty.
Here was one more from Minot who says, you know what? We can be good.
I really feel like just like what we have here isn't bullshit. We have pieces here. I've seen it. So I say that's what this rivalry meant to me.
And he did the old air quotes with rivalry because it's no rivalry. How many guys that are on this team? right now are going to be on this team?
A handful.
No, a good handful. I mean, it's very young. I know it's for a young team. I know that. The four first-round picks from last year. Yeah. You know. We're right where we want to be, Boomer. That's exactly what we're trying to do.
Lose every game, embarrass ourselves, and I'll just be sitting in this office the whole time. No one ever, ever criticizes me.

Chapter 6: What did Danny Hurley say about the UConn fans?
Not even close to being true. I don't know if I believe that. And in golf, Matthew Fitzpatrick won the Valsport Championship.
