All right, final coach. We'll hear from his Kelvin Sampson on his Cougars being in San Antonio with the final four
00:07
Really proud of this team. Every team has a journey
00:11
It has to start
00:14
Not knowing what they're going to be just
00:19
Kind of figure out how to stay in the moment early, you know, June
00:23
July September we start the season so early now
00:29
Of course, I'm so old I remember when season started after Thanksgiving now
00:38
You may have five guys transferred by sent Thanksgiving
00:46
The team this year is very much a player like team we have great player leadership
00:51
We have players that really care about each other and the program
00:55
And I think that's reflected on how they have handled
01:02
Adversity
01:03
That was great. You might have five guys transferred by Thanksgiving. That is hilarious
01:09
That was it right there the line of the day so far so far for Kelvin Sampson
01:14
Well, he's got a big test tomorrow night Duke minus five and a half
01:20
136 and a half total up a little bit
01:23
From the 135 yesterday
01:28
Yeah, I'm on Duke and I gotta tell you I think that spread is just horrible
01:34
Super dangerous. I could see the Cougars covering the five-and-a-half easy. I mean
01:39
What was the last three points like that's what it's gonna be. It's gonna be your three or four point game
01:46
Five at best. I think it's gonna be a good game. I I know that Duke blows everyone out
01:51
It's hard to blow out a team that doesn't allow you to score
01:55
Like Houston is gonna be up in their shack
01:58
So it's gonna be a test of attrition. It's gonna go back and forth this game. There's gonna be lead changes and ties
02:06
It's gonna be crazy. I think it's too many points, but I like Duke to somehow find a way in the end
02:12
But we'll see what happens. Listen, I will not
02:16
Only only only only Oh cry of Duke loses. I've never liked him, but
02:23
What's awful for me is I actually do like Cooper flag. I think he's sucked me right in like I like his game
02:30
I like watching him play. I'm fascinated by his
02:34
Talents. I can't wait to
02:36
You know watch him for the rest of my life
02:39
Because the bottom line is he's gonna have a 20-year career in the NBA and God only knows how long I'll be on this earth
02:45
I get to watch this guy play basketball. It's no different in my opinion than watching
02:50
Michael Jordan or LeBron James this kid is unique and
02:55
He's like to me. He's like Larry Bird. He's just
02:58
He is a white phenom. I mean this guy's Duncan and brothers faces and they know it
03:05
They know he's coming. It's no different than Luca. They can't stop him either
03:10
It's just that simple. It's basketball skills. It don't matter if you're white or black
03:14
You could just flat-out ball and this dude's fun to watch so what sucks for me is I always hated Duke and
03:21
Now I got to sit there and root for this kid. I can't stand do but I like him. So I'm a mess
