00:00Flag goes down with the ankle.
00:02He's got the rolly Massimino.
00:04He's gonna, you know, there's nothing worse.
00:06Achilles ankles, knees, calves.
00:10I don't even like saying the words.
00:12It's bad luck diner.
00:14So he's obviously rolled it hard.
00:17They didn't put him back in a game.
00:19He's fine.
00:20X-rays negative, this and that, but here's the deal.
00:22It's never better the next day or the day after the day
00:25after the day after.
00:26It's bad for like five days, no matter what.
00:28And then most guys I know wear the full ankle.
00:34It's like a, it's like a brace.
00:35It's like an ankle brace that they'll wear
00:38and put on when they play.
00:39They'll play through it with a, with a brace.
00:41Do you think that he's gonna be affected by this
00:45in the NCAA tournament and cost them a national championship?
00:48Because I do not believe that they can win it all
00:50without him.
00:51Even though they won today,
00:52they beat a crappy team today that was killing them.
00:55And they came back and won.
00:56Like they had to handle their business.
00:58But do you think it'll affect them in the tournament?
01:00You know, I think it's a little too early
01:02to tell still, Scott.
01:03I should note this and odds makers aren't doctors,
01:07but they're pretty good at knowing what the doctors think.
01:10Ole Miss hit a three to win.
01:12Ole Miss hit a three to win.
01:14Ole Miss hit a three with one second left to win.
01:17There's been no, Duke are the favorites
01:20to win the championship right now.
01:22There hasn't been a drop off.
01:23Timeout, what was the spread on that Arkansas game?
01:27It was like a near pick them.
01:28It was like one and a half type thing, right?
01:30It was one and a half, two.
01:32Did it really go down to that?
01:33Yeah, all these games are going down to that.
01:35That's why I'm taking underdogs for the most part.
01:37But it was four and a half.
01:40Was it four and a half?
01:41You sure it closed?
01:42I think it came down a little bit.
01:43It closed at four and a half, they covered.
01:46All right, so, but as far as Duke is concerned,
01:50they're still the favorites
01:51to win the championship right now.
01:52There's been no, there's no panic.
01:54I know the media went crazy and stuff like that.
01:57People online, you know, Scott, they have time.
02:00And I'll tell you right now too, the NCAA,
02:02watch how it'll be just by coincidence
02:05that Duke don't play on Thursday.
02:06They're gonna get the Friday, Sunday slate down suddenly.
02:09Right, just to buy a little extra time.
02:11But the Duke Blue Devils can get through
02:15the first two games next weekend without Cooper Flagg.
02:19Right, they need everybody else though.
02:20Like they need Proctor, like, you know,
02:22it's the thing with Duke, they're always going down.
02:24I posted this, I told people this on the show.
02:27The one seed, the top seed has not won
02:31the ACC Conference Tournament since 2018.
02:34Just saying, Duke, we're the top seed.
02:37Right, the top seed doesn't win the ACC Tournament.
02:39So here we go again.
02:40So it's gonna be Louisville, it's gonna be Clemson.
02:41Yeah, I don't care about the tournament.
02:43I care about, like last year,
02:45NC State goes to the Final Four.
02:47They get the automatic bid.
02:48All I care about as a program,
02:51I know people won't like this or admit it,
02:54but the only thing that matters is the NCAA Tournament.
02:56Well, I wouldn't even be playing guys.
02:59Conference tournaments means nothing.
03:01Would you rather, what, so you win the Big East
03:03and then you go lose in the NCAA and the Elite Eight?
03:05What do you, I mean, what do you got?
03:07You got a little trophy from your conference.
03:10I've said this before, like I wouldn't even play guys,
03:12like for the most part in these conference.
03:14If I was like a national champion,
03:17like if you're a mid-tier team,
03:18obviously you're going forward here,
03:19you're trying to make the tournament and all this.
03:22If you're a top, top-tier team,
03:24like if you're Auburn or you're Duke,
03:26this is exactly what can happen.
03:27Who cares if you win or lose this tournament?
03:29A lot of coaches want to lose the first game
03:31and get out of there.
03:32They can yell at their kids.
03:33You're not as good as you thought you were.
03:34And let's get some rest and practice
03:36for the tournament next week.
03:37It's a nightmare, Scott.
03:39You win the Big Ten title,
03:40you're playing Sunday night, bro, before the bracket.
03:43And then boom, oh, you're playing Thursday.
03:45You know, I'm with you.
03:46I think these conference tournaments,
03:48they're like bowl games, Scott.
03:49People don't want to say.
03:49They're like bowl games, right?
03:51It's just for money.
03:52It's just, they don't matter in the big picture.
03:55But my point is, I think Duke will be fine.
03:57I think Flagg will be fine.
03:59I don't know how extreme it is,
04:02but even if he doesn't play,
04:03let's say hypothetically next week,
04:05they get through the weekend,
04:06in the big picture, I don't think it'll affect them, Scott.
04:09But I'm not sure though.
04:11They seem to be injury-prone, this team.
04:12Every game, man, guys are going down with this team.
04:15I don't know if they're going to be able to stay healthy
04:17for six more games after.
