00:00Right. The first game of the night in San Francisco will be Maryland and Florida.

00:08Of course, Maryland, you know, last week we talked about Willard,

00:12you know, bringing up all sorts of NIL stuff as he's still being rumored to take this job,

00:17potentially at Villanova. He didn't really want to talk about the NIL stuff yesterday. Here he is.

00:23You've been very open the last week about, you know, trying to get greater NIL share,

00:28revenue share. I'm sure you saw Mike Loxley yesterday said he would prefer to keep some

00:36of these issues in-house. Why have you felt like kind of bringing this discussion in the

00:41open has been the best way to advocate for your program? Well, I mean, I'll be honest.

00:47I think our biggest thing is we got to stop Clayton. He's really good. He shoots the

00:53basketball going left 48 percent. He shoots it right going at like 38 percent. So really,

01:00the last couple of days, I'm trying to come up with a game plan to stop Clayton because I just

01:05think he's one of the best guards in the country that we've seen. And then really, you know,

01:10obviously trying to fix our rebounding woes have been at the top of my mind, too. So I'm taking

01:14the NOVA job. Yeah, it's a big problem. Yeah, what a loser. I mean, I think that's just being

01:22a D. He's just being a massive D. OK, there it is. That is all you need to know. He's going to

01:27Villanova. He's not going to talk about Maryland's NIL problems when he's leaving. I think it is

01:35just absolutely sickening that nowadays they open up this portal during the NCAA tournament to ruin

01:43the tournament. And then coaches are taking jobs in the middle of the NCAA tournament, including

01:49a guy playing in the Sweet 16. I mean, it's unbelievable.
