I got many Stephen A right next to me and my brother.

Let me tell you something I'm closing in on using the B D.

I myself, I'm a few years away, but this is a B D.

I myself, I'm closing in on the Dickie V.

But until then, until then, I'm still gonna hold out.

And I'm gonna let many Stephen a sit up there and influence me.

I'm with you.

I'm with you on Gonzaga.

I'm with you on Baylor.

I'm with you on Michigan, going to the final four.

But I'm going with Oklahoma State coming out of the Midwest because of the brother you mentioned Kate, Cut him and that.

God boy, that's a pretty damn good coach as well.

Let me tell you something right now.

I'm going with Oklahoma State, going to the Final Four, but I'm gonna stick with the three number ones.

I understand Livers is a bit hurt.

I think he's gonna find a way to get himself back into the lineup.

My man, you want Howard will answer the call.

They'll have to motivate.

Had they won the Big 10 title, I would not have picked Michigan to go to the Final Four.

But since they lost the Big 10 title, I think that they're going to get to the Final Four.

And I'm sticking with Gonzaga and Baylor.

And I'm going with Gonzaga to cut down the Nets to finish undefeated to win it all.

That's what I'm doing, Dickie V.

So as many people.

The right thing.

You're doing the right thing.

I don't think anyone laughing at Gonzaga one No.

Gods I got.

So for real.

Hey, guys, let me tell you this.

I think you've got to have three parts of court covered the landscape.

You got a point guard they got Jalen Sucks is the best point guard in America.

Basically, you gotta have a wing guy that can make threes.

You got that?

Cory Kidd spurred on all American, and you got to cover the three second area, have a post guy, and they got to Andrew Timmy.

So when you cover those three parts of the court and then you cup of role players, you got a chance to win and this team and it's something else they got going for him.

Think about this.

They've got a great coach but they played in a conference where they didn't have to go to war every day, every day.

Like to make that.

So those guys arrested at a pre conference, they put the hurt on Virginia.

They put the hurt on Iowa.

They put the hurt on Kansas.

All those teams are in their section, and I really think that they're going to get through there, and I think they're gonna win it all.

Let me give you a little sleep, you know?

I know you follow the NBA so religiously.

I'm gonna tell you this, Stephen.

A Remember this name?

Jason Preston, 6 ft four point guard from Ohio University.

They lost like two to Illinois during the season.

They blew out Cleveland State.

Who everybody's talking about, how good they have come on to be in the tournament and they play Virginia.

Now, Virginia, you're talking about a tough situation.

They can't practice until Friday.

They then get on.

They get on the bus and playing.

And they got to go right to Indianapolis and they play on Saturday and they play Ohio University.

This kid Preston, 64 point guard, will be an NBA player.

I'm telling you what?

You remember the names like that nugget keeping an eye on him?

That's a gem.

You're giving us up, Max.

Can you give me your Final Four?

Because I want to get Dickie V's thoughts on them.

I'll slip it in quickly.

Ohio State, I think, is one of certainly the 10 best teams in the tournament.

And I don't want to go chalk.

I'll take Ohio State, Illinois and Gonzaga.

I think everyone has.

The Alabama defense is impressive to me.

I like Alabama, so it's not chalk, but it's two ones and two twos.

And I like you, uh, Dickie V like Gonzaga to cut down the Nets.

As you would say, You know, Max Max, you mentioned Alabama.

I had them yesterday and they had them on Saturday in the SEC semis in the championship.

Maybe two quality teams beat Tennessee and had a real barnburner yesterday with L S U.

And I'll tell you one thing.

They do defend well.

They do two things you gotta do in tournament time.

They defend exceptionally well, they attack you, and the second thing is they make threes.

They'll make at least 10.8 threes per game, according to their numbers.

And any time you can make the three ball and have guys that can do that, they could change the game quickly.

So, Alabama.

I've been tossing and turning.

To be honest with you, I came very close yesterday.

We battled my buddy and I.

We battled about Alabama or Michigan, and I went with Michigan because I've seen Michigan.

And if they play their A game, I think they're too strong, especially in the post with Hunter Dickerson, the 71 kid I think that gives them delivers.

I would go with Michigan if they had livers.

I go with you.

I agree with you.

Alabama's good man that good.

You know, Dickie V the fact that you have Michigan and your Final Four.

It's a nice consolation prize for me.

I'm really would want UConn, but at least you know my my household will be kind of happy with that.

So we'll take it.

We'll take Michigan in the Final Four and that you can just made it to the tournament for the first time in five years.

So it's good news to have you on our screen, and it's good news to have the tournament back, and I will give you the final word here, sir.

Hey, let me just tell you this, Molly, You tell your man Mr Rose, okay?

Somebody asked me.

I said that you wanted to telecast.

Can this Michigan team would they beat the Fab Five?

I said, no way.

Are you kidding?

Me and Eminem or a mismatch?

No way.

They beat the likes of yelling and Mr Weber and Mr Howard, Jackson and King.

That team was as special as it gets.

Even even Steven.

I would love them.

Hey, Stephen A I didn't love God about this.

You and I had You want to add a little little fun?

Wager?

When it happened, the two guys were drafted.

I ask you now, you said, Dickie, no comparison.

I want Simmons over.

Mr.

Ingram, I'm not all convinced I have problems with guys that can't make shots.

You talk about Senator Ben Simmons over Brandon Negro?

Yeah.

I'm taking Simmons over.

I'm taking Simmons all day.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

Brandon Ingram can play.

He's not a scrubby belongs in this league, but Ben Simmons is a jump shot away from being LeBron J two point off.

What's getting the jump shot?

Understand?

Get the jump shot.

I understand you have to be LeBron to be better.

Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on.

Excuse me.

You're also with a capital a Dickie V.

But wait a minute.

Now that's not the Dickie V.

I know, Dickie V would say to me, Excuse me, would you rely on just a jump shot for you?

Gotta shoot.

But what about all the other things that he does?

Stephen, what about the defense?

What about the ball handling the basketball like you were going to show baby and something I would say, Dickie V.

Something else you'll I would assume like about Ben Simmons.

Since he came in, the league has created more open looks from three for his teammates than anyone else in the NBA the most.

Yeah, I I agree with all of that.

There's no question that guys a great player, but I'm just telling you, I like guys that make shots, and Ingram is way better than people think.

I think he's averaging like 20 points.

He's like averaging 22 points a game you got right now.

Player.
