00:00What did you think of the game?
00:01Well, it was quite the game, was it?
00:03I think last night, Scott, was a case in which a game doesn't have to be high scoring to be entertaining.
00:09It was an entertaining basketball game.
00:11It was competitive.
00:12It wasn't the prettiest game, but it was old school, right?
00:15I mean, that's what these championships used to be like, you know, 60 to 58, 65, 63, et cetera.
00:22But I don't like to use this term very much, Scott, but I'm almost, I still can't believe Houston didn't win.
00:28They were the better team.
00:30Like, they did everything they had to do except in the final two minutes.
00:34They absolutely, they absolutely, I don't like to use the joke word, but there's no other way of saying it.
00:42Dude, they had like five empty possessions in a row at the end.
00:46And it was LJ Cryer.
00:47He just lost control, Scott.
00:49Absolutely lost control.
00:51There was an instance they were up by three.
00:54They were up by two or three.
00:55They could have got another lead.
00:56I don't know if you remember.
00:57He stepped on the baseline.
00:58And there was no one under the basket either.
01:00It looked like he was going to score.
01:01He steps on the baseline out of bounds.
01:03Unforced there.
01:04Next possession, he goes down and he finds himself lost under the paint.
01:09And he just sort of throws, he tries to pass the ball to nobody.
01:13He tried an incredibly hard, sort of one-handed, sort of shot put shot once in traffic.
01:18Then the other kid kicked the ball out of bounds going down the court, Scott.
01:24And then they don't, then they double dribble.
01:25They don't get the three-point shot off.
01:27I mean, there's no other way of saying this besides, guys, like you lost.
01:31They didn't win.
01:33You lost.
01:34And you talked about the free throws.
01:36You know, yeah, you only missed five of them.
01:38Well, you lost by two.
01:40They only missed three of them.
01:41You only, you know what I mean?
01:42They only missed three.
01:43You lost five.
01:44They made them.
01:45You didn't.
01:46Yeah.
01:46It's like you had the game.
01:48Like, from a work effort.
01:51I thought it was kind of strange.
01:53I mean, I thought they did a good job in the first half of just letting them play, Scott.
01:57I mean, that was the whole thing to me, like, for Houston.
02:01I thought Houston was going to have a chance if the refs were going to let them sort of really play.
02:04And they did.
02:06And you saw that in the first half.
02:08And then in the second half, I don't know if, you know, a memo came in, Scott.
02:13If a call came in to the refs, like, who's the boss?
02:17Like, the NBA, I get it.
02:18The NHL, I get it.
02:20Who's the boss of, like, the NCAA refs?
02:22I don't know.
02:24Like, is that the commissioner?
02:25No.
02:25Like, I don't, you know what I mean?
02:26So, I don't really, is the commissioner of the NCAA going to call in at the half and go, you're not calling enough fouls?
02:32I don't even think they had a commissioner.
02:34Yeah, exactly.
02:35Like, who are the NCAA?
02:36Like, who's, like, who would be the one to tell the refs?
02:39But, Scott, it was like it was two different crews.
02:41You know what I mean?
02:42I mean, it was like, yeah, we had a new refereeing crew in the second.
02:45I was like, whoa, you guys are calling this completely different than you were in the first half.
