00:00the North Carolina conspiracy with them getting in and, you know, I've been reasonable about it.

00:08All I've said is, is that I put West Virginia first, that they should have been in, not North

00:14Carolina. And then with my Hoosiers, I said they, all I've said is that they were better than North

00:21Carolina as well. When it, when it boiled down to it in quad one, two, they had four wins.

00:28They had zero losses in quad three and four, and North Carolina had one win and they had nothing

00:35but a disaster in two, three, and four. And all I know is they let them in. I thought West Virginia

00:42should have got in for sure. I knew Indiana wasn't going to get in when I saw the, the first

00:51couple of play-in games that were announced, that they weren't one of them. When I saw those

00:56evaporate, I knew they weren't going to the Midwest. I knew they weren't going to be the 11

01:00in the Midwest. Then I knew they weren't going. So I was like, all right, well, then I knew they

01:04wouldn't go to the NIT either because they're stuck up. They still think they matter, even

01:10though it's been years since they mattered. Their blue blood status has been evaporated.

01:14And I tweeted yesterday, who's the next hack coach? Are they going to screw the program up

01:19even further with, but there is no way you can sell me on North Carolina over West Virginia.

01:24No way. I will lose my mind. No, I understand the frustration of people, especially, you know,

01:31that with the, the, the head of the committee being the North Carolina athletic director,

01:37it, it doesn't look good, but I've said this for years, Scott, and I'm not going to get upset about

01:43the 69th, 70th, 71st best teams in the country. This is the problem when I talk about expansion

01:50with the college football playoffs, it'll be the same thing, right? You're going to make it a 14

01:55teams. You know, the 15 teams get a bitch. You want to make it 16. Then the 17 team is going

02:00to complain. West Virginia wasn't winning a national championship. Indiana wasn't winning

02:04a national championship, uh, Indiana. And you guys talked about it last week. Indiana were

02:10in tough Scott once Texas looked good. And there were other teams that were playing that were on

02:15the bubble that were winning basketball games. So I thought Indiana was going to get in games

02:21and they got into the turn. They could do the most losses ever allowed in the NCAA tournament.

02:26Yeah. Well, listen, it is what it is, but does it really matter? I mean,

02:30is it worth, like, I'm not going to rage about it. You know, it's like I said, they're,

02:34they're mediocre teams. You know, West Virginia have a lot bigger problems in their state than

02:38their basketball team, not making the tournament. So if the governor wants to waste his time,

02:44grand as I stated, like about a 19 win team, no one even knows who he is.

02:50Listen, I think the, the 22 wins, whatever the, you know, the, you get over 20, it sort of looks

02:56better. The fact that they're blue bloods, but really I'm not going to lose sleep. Whoever plays

03:01in the freaking play in game, like really, I don't care. I will say this though, Scott,

03:06I thought the committee and in North Carolina stuff, I get it. You know what I mean? We want

03:10to screw West Virginia. I sympathize with the kids, the players on West Virginia, but

03:14the committee as a whole, I thought they had a pretty terrible job actually.
