00:00I do think my, my Maryland Terrapins got screwed. Uh, coach Willard didn't want to hear it.

00:06And in a lot of ways, if they just, did you see Saturday's game when they didn't win it?

00:13If they win that game, maybe they don't get screwed.

00:15Doug, there are eight losses this year by 28 points. That is nuts. Cause I, you look

00:21and then you see Michigan go, Michigan went on and won it. Right. Yeah. You thinking like

00:26that should have been us. Well, and it was really funny cause for me, it, I circled

00:32back to the conversation we were having about, would you rather have a big 10 title or a

00:37sweet 16? And all of a sudden in my head, I'm like, man, this title seems a little more

00:42appealing. Um, I, I stand by my sweet 16 has more value to the program, but that, so I

00:51asked Willard yesterday, you know, how do you flush that out of your system? And he

00:55was very honest. And I think in a very raw emotional state, he's like, dude, I still

01:00haven't slept. But he said, his wife told him, all right, at five o'clock today, you got to,

01:06you're, you got to move forward because you got to get those kids ready for the next.

01:10I mean, you got selection. So I got to move forward because if he doesn't move, those kids

01:14are stuck. But I thought he was honest about it though, saying it took them.

01:18Right. Anytime you're in there, you're going through that battle. Everyone wants to be able

01:26to believe they could just let it go. It doesn't happen for every game.

01:32It does not happen. Well, I think there's some game I'm probably still troubled by from high

01:37school and college. I get that. And I think I just applauded his honesty. I think a lot of

01:43coaches were like, oh, we're moving forward. Like, nah, man, that sucked. He said, I would

01:47have rather got blown out than that. But hopefully Meryl also learned something from it because

01:53as impressive as the comeback was as impressive as all that was the defense on the last possession

02:01was awful. I mean, just they let the kid get the ball and just go. I mean,

02:07the two big boys were in the lane and neither of them went to stop the ball.

02:13It was unbelievable. Yeah. I wonder if like maybe one of them thought the other was going

02:19or something. Maybe it was, I'd rather I would have sandwiched them. I'd rather

02:23hammer them and make them make two free. Hey, sometimes you just got to go for it. You never

02:30know. Yeah. You get your possibility. You sweet 16. Right.
