What are the latest updates on Pitt basketball and their upcoming game against Duke?
Bob Pompiani with you along with Austin City Limits. Beck told Joe Starkey is recovering from colonoscopy. I'm going to let him rest for now, but I may try to figure out if he's interested in some play-by-play on that and how it went this morning. He was complaining all day about eating Jell-O, but what else are you going to do? You can't have anything substantial when you're on this. So he had it early this morning then, so he should be done and on his way home now. Yeah, it's a fairly quick procedure, and they get you in and out of there, so... Yeah, he's probably home right now. Do you think he's listening or is he sleeping?
I feel like if he was listening, he would call in and either A, try to prank us. Yeah, he would either try to prank us or he would actually be the real thing.
Yeah, well, I'm anxious to find out how that went. Hopefully all good. They normally get your results right then and there, so hopefully it went all well for Joe, but he'll be back here tomorrow. In the meantime, 412-928-9370. Talking about the Pirates, what they've done, are you jumping on their bandwagon now? What do you think about the Pirates heading into spring trading? Have they done enough for you to satisfy your need to be a playoff team with Paul Skeens leading the way? Also, we're talking about the Steelers in the offseason. How do you kind of emulate what maybe Seattle has done with a defense that was just so good that it took a lot of pressure on the offense sure you got to have some offensive pieces and they do but what do the Steelers need to do to get back in not only the playoffs but to a spot where they can win a game at 4-1-2-9-2-8-93-70 we have the draft coming up here in April there'll be a lot of talk as we get closer to that Steelers pick 21st uh what can you do in that position and if a guy like um
Ty Simpson falls. Would you gamble a pick on him right now if you believe that he's the guy? But you've got to believe 100% that he's your guy. Also tonight coming up, we have basketball. And normally Duke at Pitt would be a big-time conversation piece. But quite frankly, right now it's not because there are two programs in totally opposite directions. Duke is favored by almost 18 points, 17.5 points tonight. I don't know if you saw their game the other day, Austin, against North Carolina. It was a tremendous game. Came down to one shot. Seth Trimble in the corner. Hit a three. But what followed was very interesting to me because there was still time left. I think if you glanced at it, if you were there, you knew there had to be time left.
Did you? Yeah, I did. I saw where the clock was. If anything, it has to be looked at closely. I didn't stop everyone from storming the court. So they had a sea of people on the court. Which also led to some injuries for Duke program staffers who were there. And then later became a $50,000 fine by the ACC for security violations. And you are responsible. By the way, you could call a technical foul on North Carolina for their fan behavior. Did you know that? No, I did not. If they wanted to do that. But I don't think they wanted to do that.
There's no chance they would have done that. If they would have done that, it would have been a riot. Well, and if they would have done that, too, it would have been two shots in the ball. Where are you getting the basketball at that point? Yeah, you're getting it half court. So you still would need to get a lob to the hoop to be able to put up a shot.
But that gives you a better shot than trying to go from the entire way with 0.4. Anyway, they had to clear it all out. They did. And then once it went final, they ran back onto the court.
I thought it was hilarious that they stormed the court and then re-stormed the court again.
But North Carolina strikes me as a program that doesn't need to storm the court. No, they don't. It's a been there, done there program, right? They've won these kinds of games before. I know it's Duke, but I don't think storming, people want to do it. A young generation, sir, I get it. That's part of what you've seen growing up.
