Chapter 1: What happened in the VCU vs. UNC game?

0.031 - 20.492 Gio

So I think what we'll do in this hour, we're going to focus on one specific game. There's a million things that you could be doing. That's right. There's a lot of sports that was played yesterday. You are damn right, sir. That is correct. Good. I don't know why you're kind of downplaying it. Because I have one highlight. Why? What happened now? I don't know.

0

20.752 - 42.669 Gio

We have one highlight, so I'm going to play it for you. So that's the game I'm going to focus on this hour. And then next hour, we will focus on High Point. This hour, we'll focus on VCU North Carolina. Okay. Because this game did go to overtime. So I believe this was Ian was doing the game on CBS, and Noah was like 10 people from him doing the game on Westwood One NCAA radio.

0

42.689 - 43.991 Gio

And here was Noah Eagle.

0

45.273 - 56.644 Noah Eagle

Jennings gets a screen from Hill. Djokovic trying to dive for the rim. He couldn't find him. Now it's Hill with 15 to shoot. Working against Stevenson. Hill wants to go to work. Cross. Step back. Three on the way. And good.

0

Chapter 2: How did High Point upset Wisconsin?

56.664 - 60.936 Noah Eagle

He splashes it home. 80-78 BCU in front.

0

60.916 - 76.95 Gio

And they would win 82-78 in overtime. That was Terrence Hill with the bucket. He had 34 in the game. Here was Phil Martelli Jr. on the court after the win with Tracy. Are you surprised you guys came back? You were 19 down in this game.

0

76.93 - 88.882 Noah Eagle

No, I mean, we've been resilient all year. This is who we've been from the get-go. Our second game of the year, we're down 17 against Utah State. We're all the way back to tie it. That's just who this group has been.

0

88.902 - 107.305 Gio

As they do advance, the 11th seed moves on. Here was North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis. He was asked about not really using much of his bench in this game. Hubert, why did you go to just a six-man rotation in the second half? Because that was my decision. Asked about maybe some fatigue.

0

Chapter 3: What were the highlights of the Lakers' recent game?

107.345 - 130.58 Gio

Did you sense that your team got a little bit tired there? I did not. I didn't. Now, he did loosen up. You could tell he was really crushed by the loss and things. He would give longer answers as the press conference went on. One of his players who was sitting to his right was Henry Visar. This is not a great clip. He basically says VCU had their way with them in the second half and overtime.

0

130.601 - 131.803 Unknown

They stretched us out.

0

Chapter 4: How did Luka and LeBron perform in their latest match?

131.843 - 148.382 Unknown

They were five out. They kind of just... We didn't have anybody in the paint because they were able to knock down threes, and they just were able to drive us and kind of get the rim or be physical in the drives, and we weren't as physical as them, so they were able to bump us and get shots that they should not get. But they got a lot of them.

0

148.422 - 164.38 Gio

And then you wonder about the reaction. I think this was CBS Sports HQ as they ran down the highlights. John Henson, a former North Carolina player, was the analyst after they ran the highlights and some of the press conference clips. He says kind of a—he doesn't say it, but he's intimating bad luck for North Carolina

0

164.36 - 169.548 Unknown

Lack of composure. And when they were running their offense, they just weren't getting good shots.

0

Chapter 5: What did Howie Rose announce about his retirement?

169.968 - 173.694 Unknown

They weren't turning the corner. It was almost like they were flustered, right? They didn't know what to do.

0

173.994 - 188.991 Gio

Flustered by VCU. How about that? Yeah, making free throws at the end of games. Yeah, North Carolina was 12 of 20 from the line. And you know that, being a lead announcer for Rutgers. You see it up close and personal. Got to make foul shots.

0

Chapter 6: What is the current status of the NHL teams discussed?

189.111 - 192.696 Gio

That's right. Foul shots, win, ball game, especially the front ends of the one-on-ones.

0

192.836 - 194.219 Unknown

Oh, my God. They're just killers, no doubt.

0

194.239 - 195.961 Gio

Oh, yeah. So, North Carolina.

0

195.981 - 196.582 Unknown

I like that, though.

0

196.602 - 203.092 Gio

You like the one-on-one? Yeah, it's fine. I prefer the two shots, but, you know.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the recent NCAA tournament upsets?

203.352 - 210.143 Gio

You a big one-on-one guy? No. No. You don't like it. Two shots. You want two shots. Yeah, it's fine.

0

210.163 - 210.764 Unknown

I like one-on-one.

0

210.784 - 230.158 Gio

You make the first one, you get the second one. Yeah, it certainly helps the team trying to come back. That is for sure. The other big upset was High Point beating Wisconsin 83-82. Rob Martin had 23 points for High Point. Here was Greg Gard, his initial reaction to the loss when he went to the podium. The Badgers head coach...

0

230.138 - 245.413 Greg Gard

Congratulations to High Point. They played a terrific game, hit some unbelievable shots, and that's the heartache that comes with this tournament is that the team plays exceptionally well, and you get sent home.

0

245.393 - 270.396 Gio

And they are heading home, something they did not expect because they really did have a very good season. But that be that for the Badgers. And High Point does advance. Also moving on with some not big upsets, but upsettable, I suppose. Texas beat BYU 79-71. You had Texas A&M, a 10-seed, beating the 7-seed St. Mary 63-50. And the 9-8 games, Ohio State is out. They lost to TCU 66-64. And St.

270.416 - 280.714 Gio

Louis beat Georgia, beat them good, 102-77. You also had wins. for Duke, Michigan, Houston, Michigan State, Illinois, Gonzaga, Nebraska, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Louisville.

Chapter 8: What future games are scheduled in the sports world?

280.734 - 300.298 Gio

We said this to Al before. That was Nebraska's first NCAA tournament win? Yeah, which is crazy, I guess. Isn't that wild? So in a year where Indiana football... Ends up getting things done. You got now Nebraska basketball getting things done. Well, at the end, I won the national championship. Nebraska may not win another game, but yeah.

0

300.839 - 321.395 Gio

And I heard you talking about there was a guy calling the games for 40 years. Yes, I forget. Kent Pelvis. I forget his last name. Kent Pelvis, yes. No, I didn't say that. I did not say that. That's what it was. He's been doing the games for, yeah, for 40 years, and he looked like just so overjoyed and emotional as the seconds were ticking down.

0

321.495 - 343.153 Gio

So good for them, and it was an easy one, too, as they had a blowout win. So today you've got LIU, the 16th seed, taking on top seeded Arizona. That's a 135 start. Hofstra faces Alabama at 315. And then tonight in San Diego, it'll be St. John's and Northern Iowa. This is a long clip, but I thought a pretty good one. This was the first question asked to Zuby Echefor.

0

343.133 - 345.095 Gio

And I thought a very mature answer.

0

345.336 - 358.631 Unknown

I guess kind of being out here, five seed, you get sent to San Diego. You personally weren't chosen for any of the three All-American teams. Do you feel like your team is kind of being overlooked or disrespected right now?

359.552 - 376.582 Zuby Echefor

I think it's our job not to worry about what happens. you know, people or outside, you know, perspective might perceive about this team. And our job is to go out there and, you know, battle, compete. And that's coming from Rick Pitino down.

376.622 - 393.508 Gio

That's a great answer. That's one of the reasons why, if you listen to Gio, Gio is saying that Rick really loved the group of kids. Like when we played golf with him, he said, I got a great group of kids. They're going to be a really good team. And once they figure it out and once they come together, they're going to be a really tough team.

393.573 - 416.89 Gio

And when you hear their best player talking like that, then obviously the message has gotten through. And they are a tough physical team for sure, as we know. And then late tonight in Philly, you've got second-seeded UConn taking on 15th-seeded Furman. One note from the NBA. How about the night LeBron and Luka had? Lakers beat the Heat 134-126 in Miami. Luka had 60.

417.271 - 435.026 Gio

And LeBron, the triple-double, 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. I think that's six straight wins for the Lakers. They've played really well of late. They're third out in the West right now. Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, go ahead. I was going to say, there was a period just a few weeks ago where it felt like things were kind of crumbling, and all of a sudden they've turned it up.
