Supersonics, what comes to mind? Maybe

0:05

tonight's episode of one shining

2:05

podcast we are reacting to a wild

2:07

wacky and quite insane final four live

2:09

from San Antonio myself and common we

2:12

are trying to make sense of what

2:14

we just witnessed this is going to

2:16

be a very fun show these are

2:18

our thoughts directly after what we just

2:20

saw in the Duke Houston game Kyle

2:22

I know you're fired up anything else

2:24

before we get into tonight's episode

2:27

Dun -nuh -nuh -nuh -nuh -nuh -nuh -nuh -nuh

2:29

-nuh -nuh -nuh -nuh. But first,

2:31

what did I do?! Welcome

2:49

back to one shining podcast. It is

2:51

Saturday night, April 5th. We are in

2:53

San Antonio and in case you missed

2:56

it, Houston has no problems because they

2:58

just solved the biggest problem in college

3:00

basketball. The fate was there and Duke

3:02

was on their way to a national

3:05

championship. We watched them all year. They've

3:07

been the best team, but somehow, some

3:09

way. The Houston Cougars are moving on to

3:11

the national championship game. We got a lot

3:13

to get to, but we're going to start

3:15

there. We're going to talk about Florida and

3:17

Auburn. That was a great game, but Kyle

3:19

Man, you and I just watched this in

3:21

real time. I'm still catching my breath

3:24

because I can't believe it's real. And

3:26

again, Duke dominated this game the entire

3:28

time, but somehow Houston ends up winning

3:30

this game. They win the races 69,

3:32

70 to 67. How real does this

3:34

feel? Are we in a fever dream?

3:36

Am I, you know, do I have

3:38

a temperature right now? Like this is

3:41

real life. They lost that game. Saying

3:43

that asking the question of whether or

3:45

not it feels real was something that

3:47

I didn't start to really consider until,

3:49

you know, until they went, they

3:51

started to press at the perfect

3:53

time. You know, that feel go

3:55

drought started to just build up

3:57

and up and you mentioned it.

3:59

What's the lead? What's the most interesting thing?

4:02

And we were just like, this is going

4:04

to be boring. Because for the first part

4:06

of the game, you know, we can get

4:08

into the details of why, but it just

4:10

really felt like this was a, you know,

4:12

Duke would make a, Houston seemed like they

4:14

were clawing for dear life to hang on

4:16

in this game. It wasn't like Duke was

4:18

putting up crazy just. swaths of points, but

4:20

it just didn't become real to me until

4:22

that last turnover where I stood up and

4:24

my eyes got huge. You know, I was

4:26

just like, this could actually like, oh my

4:28

God, this is in play. And there was

4:30

a lot of moments like down the stretch

4:32

where Houston was making shots. They were continuing

4:34

to kind of stay in the fight, but

4:36

then all of a sudden Duke would stretch

4:38

it back out to nine, get to 11.

4:40

With about eight minutes ago in this game,

4:42

it is 59 to 45. and you feel

4:44

like okay what is Houston's one Achilles heel

4:46

if they're down they have no real way

4:48

to fall back and for them to You

28:30

guy is legit you know like have you

28:32

hadn't had it before the national I think

28:34

we all know it but it did it

28:36

was nice to see like Walter Clayton Jr.

28:38

almost had this Eureka moment where it was

28:40

like oh yeah this is what we've been

28:42

telling you about and it's not Fugazi this

28:44

is real this guy is legit and look

28:46

at him on this big stage in a

28:49

dome shooting like this. He's special. He has,

28:51

you know, he has been great all year

28:53

and I think, you know, when you perform

28:55

well on this stage, it just kind of

28:57

pays forward, you know, you talked about Chris

28:59

hitting that shot in the in the championship

29:01

game. He didn't go on to have like NBA

29:03

success, but he became a household name forever because

29:06

of that. So Walter, I think, does have a

29:08

chance right now. I have Walter at 33 on

29:10

my board. People are gonna, I know there's going

29:12

to be a lot of like, I think it's

29:15

pretty good. That's, you know, he might get guaranteed

29:17

money from that, but he definitely has an NBA

29:19

skill set. I know not everything has to be

29:21

shoved through the prison with the NBA, but I

29:24

appreciate you. I appreciate you having that attitude because

29:26

that's what most people are not talking about. They're

29:28

like, where's this guy going the draft? I'm like,

29:30

can we watch him in the final four real quick? And like,

29:32

let's, let's marinate on the moment of the moment of the game.

29:34

But that also, but that also was funny too, where it was

29:36

funny too, where it was funny too, where it was like, where

29:38

it was like, where it, where it was, where it, where it,

29:41

where it, where it was, Both sides are great, you

29:43

know what I mean? Both conversations are good

29:45

for Walter Clayton Jr. And it was funny

29:47

in the post game, like all of his

29:49

teammates, you know, they're like asking, you know,

29:51

Elijah Martin, they're asking what Richard, they're like,

29:53

what about Walter is so special? And it's

29:55

so funny, like it's Walter, you know, they're

29:58

like, what is so special about Walter? to

30:00

like he's special you know that's really like

30:02

that's all they can say because like you

30:04

can't bottle it up and explain it really

30:06

but it is like you have to see

30:08

it right your eyes never lie and you

30:10

can watch this guy and you see it

30:12

I mean it pops and in this game

30:14

like there were some calls that were a

30:16

little questionable at times that were moving in

30:18

the direction of Auburn and I'm sure Auburn

30:20

can point out some calls so politically to

30:22

savvy. That was really well. I mean, Lord,

30:24

let's just be honest. Florida was getting a

30:26

tough whistle. And Gordon was losing his mind.

30:29

Yes. I mean, rightfully so. And Bruce Pearl

30:31

was looking at him like master student moment.

30:33

Like, you know what I mean? Like, this

30:35

is, welcome to moment. Like, master student moment.

30:37

Like, you know what I mean? Like, this

30:39

is, welcome to the big leagues, buddy moment.

30:41

Like, this is, welcome to the big leagues,

30:43

buddy. would have been an interesting thing to

30:45

get again. But yeah, you mentioned Condon. I

30:47

think the thing that was making us concerned

30:49

that Florida wasn't going to be able to

30:51

beat themselves in this game was just, yeah,

30:53

Condon looked terrified. He just looked absolutely dear

30:55

in headlights, didn't want to be out there,

30:57

and headlights, didn't want to be out there,

30:59

was scared. And then he made two of

31:02

the biggest defensive plays in the game. He

31:04

had that block and then that close out

31:06

that he had on Baker Mazarin that he

31:08

had. We saw that Chad Baker Mazar experience

31:10

in this game where he made some big

31:12

shots and you're just like, is he even

31:14

aware that they're in the final four? Like

31:16

that was such a big shot he seemed

31:18

unfazed by it. And then you get the

31:20

opposite of that. You get like, what was

31:22

he thinking there? He's way too nonchalant about

31:24

that. I know and that close. And he

31:26

had a like, what was he thinking there?

31:28

He's way too nonchalant about that. basically cover

31:30

for Condon. But then Condon, when he had

31:33

these spot minutes, made these kind of extra

31:35

effort plays, which kind of goes back to

31:37

what we're talking about with Tugler a little

31:39

bit, it's like these guys were. had every

31:41

right to be checked out, right? I mean,

31:43

things are not going their way. These are

31:45

not their A games, to say the least.

31:47

And the fact that they were able to

31:49

spin it the other way, make some extra

31:51

effort plays, to change the game. I mean,

31:53

Condent has one point and he fows out.

31:55

If you look at the statute and you

31:57

didn't watch the game, you didn't watch the

31:59

game. If you look at the statute and

32:01

you didn't watch the game, you're like, like,

32:03

they had to have those moments. And he

32:06

made those plays. And he made those plays.

32:08

And that's kind of like, the story of

32:10

like, the story of like, the story of

32:12

like, the story of like, the story of

32:14

the story of the story of the story

32:16

of the story of the story of the

32:18

story of the story of the story of

32:20

the story of the story of the sport,

32:22

the sport, the sport, the sport, the sport,

32:24

the sport, the sport, the sport, the sport,

32:26

the sport, the sport, every single time even

32:28

ucon texas tech whatever it is it's like

32:30

tonight when it feels like oh it's over

32:32

this team somehow like how kids a big

32:34

shot or Elijah Martin has a huge I

32:36

mean how about the dunk that Martin had

32:39

it's like a chinelew rip like just a

32:41

straight pure just like smack the ball of

32:43

the guy's hand starts a fast petified right

32:45

it was petified right and petifer did not

32:47

have a great game either but he rips

32:49

him and they get out on the break

32:51

and Elijah Martin is like right inside the

32:53

free throw the free throw lime and in

32:55

the building it looked like he was at

32:57

the free throw line where he raised up

32:59

from and I'm thinking oh this guy's gonna

33:01

float nice little layup finish and when he

33:03

turned the ball over and threw that down

33:05

that was the one shining moment of the

33:07

tournament I think that was the oh wow

33:09

we're here and like Florida is not messing

33:12

around that was a that was a two

33:14

point play that was worth ten points of

33:16

you know vibes in the arena where it

33:18

was like oh yeah that's right Florida is

33:20

vicious and it was a game breaker yeah

33:22

it like turned your head around you know

33:24

what I mean you're just like oh wow

33:26

this is a this is gonna be something

33:28

right and I felt then that's what Auburn

33:30

started to get back on their heels a

33:32

little bit in like that physical bullying yeah

33:34

we don't like to be bullied exactly and

33:36

these are old guys facing young guys this

33:38

is kind of like nerd ball versus like

33:40

Bruce pearls old school there was a lot

33:42

of like Things at play here, and I

33:45

think that Bruce pro is like I'm nice

33:47

and friendly with you know my grasshopper Until

33:49

my grasshopper is taking my food and stuff.

33:51

You know I mean like I? It kind

33:53

of felt like that in the game where

33:55

like Bruce pros like I am not having

33:57

fun anymore. Yeah, this is not a good

33:59

story like I hate this guy and that

34:01

I don't want to say I denounced him

34:03

but right he's like not in my tree

34:05

anymore it was just wild given the serious

34:07

black treatment on the tree yeah take him

34:09

out but golden I mean a great game

34:11

for him obviously you know we talked about

34:13

the water Clayton of it all but just

34:15

from Florida's The fact that Condon kind of

34:18

no showed in this game still stayed engaged

34:20

in the fact they were able to win

34:22

without playing their best basketball. I think if

34:24

you've watched Florida all year, you're still saying

34:26

yourself, this team has not played an A

34:28

game yet. And they're in the national championship

34:30

game. Yeah. that's that is the that's the

34:32

real story it's like that's how talented they

34:34

are and this isn't a group of five-star

34:36

lottery picks either like these are guys like

34:38

how is a guy who's a three-star recruit

34:40

who grew up a Florida fan and he

34:42

might have had the biggest play of the

34:44

game you were talking about it right it

34:46

is that like 30 seconds I wrote down

34:48

unfortunately that's game how how got I think

34:51

it was at like four points and it

34:53

looked like and one thing is they found

34:55

some rhythm in transition man in this game

34:57

I mean in the first half I had

34:59

it written down here in the first half

35:01

Florida six transition looks and in the second

35:03

half they alone they had ten so they

35:05

obviously got out and we're scoring a little

35:07

bit more something about Duncan with one hand

35:09

and hanging on something I contend it's one

35:11

of the coolest dunks if you dunk with

35:13

your right hand and swing for a second

35:15

like you don't just let just let go.

35:17

my day that was a technical foul but

35:19

um no I'm kidding don't don't get upset

35:21

no get upset don't get upset but no

35:24

that was that was the moment to me

35:26

when when Florida really sent the message and

35:28

Bruce Pearl and Janai Broom after the game

35:30

obviously this is an Albert I mean if

35:32

you just wanted to go inside the locker

35:34

rooms and you legit I think talk to

35:36

staff everybody supports staff players everybody that's involved

35:38

and you like really gave them the light

35:40

it's I think that the two teams that

35:42

believe they're going to win legitimately like in

35:44

their heart soul in mind, body spirit, whatever,

35:46

Duke and Auburn. straight up. Like I really

35:48

do think that both expected it to be

35:50

a game between them like a rematch. Exactly

35:52

and they expected to come here. Interesting those

35:54

teams had played each other if you think

35:57

about it. Auburn yeah Auburn and Houston have

35:59

played each other Duke and Auburn had played

36:01

each other. Auburn had played each other. Auburn

36:03

had played everybody in the final court. That's

36:05

what I mean like they're going into this.

36:07

They're like we've seen all these teams. Auburn's

36:09

probably like we were run out of gas

36:11

out of Maui when we played Duke at

36:13

Duke at Duke. we've got that. Houston, we

36:15

can beat them, you know what I mean?

36:17

And then Florida, they beat us at home

36:19

so we kind of owe them one. So

36:21

like, yeah. They're like mentally doing that. Duke,

36:23

obviously, you look at the tape. I mean,

36:25

this is a team that's built for it.

36:27

So the fact that we have this match

36:30

up on Monday night, Florida versus Houston, this

36:32

is a Jordan Brand classic game, two Jordan

36:34

Brand schools playing each other in the national

36:36

championship game, Jim Nance will be in the

36:38

building, I and Eagle will obviously be on

36:40

the call. We can't, you know, obviously this

36:42

matchup just happened, they're not even odds yet.

36:44

This is how like, like, like, like, like,

36:46

like, like, like, close we are the games,

36:48

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

36:50

like, like, like, like, like, like, close we

36:52

are the games, like, As far as like

36:54

forecasting what we expect to see in this

36:56

game, it's going to be a front court

36:58

battle. Of course, just looking at these two

37:00

teams, but match up wise, style wise, what

37:03

do you expect to see? What do you

37:05

want to see in Florida Houston? This feels

37:07

like an evenly matched game to me. I

37:09

know. The odds up now. I mean we

37:11

had to sit down and look at it

37:13

but the bigs feel kind of in the

37:15

same range offensively to me if you think

37:17

about con and how can and hand logged

37:19

in who didn't have a huge impact on

37:21

this game I was going to say another

37:23

thing too is had a huge impact cheering

37:25

on the bench well I was going to

37:27

say another thing too had a huge impact

37:29

cheering on the bench well I was going

37:31

to say there were some great cutaways of

37:34

him where I'm just kind of we always

37:36

talk about Florida superpowers superpowers they just the

37:38

golden thighs these guys have nose for the

37:40

for the ball on the offensive glass. and

37:42

a lot of huge plays and a lot

37:44

of fumbled balls out of bounds that made

37:46

me think Florida was going to screw away.

37:48

But I think the guards are pretty evenly

37:50

matched too, because if you think about Aberdeen,

37:52

you think about Martin, you think about Clayton,

37:54

you think about Clayton, I think these teams

37:56

just stack up well against each other. So

37:58

how is Florida going to handle the pressure?

38:00

Is Clayton going to have the same kind

38:02

of output in this game? I think it's

38:04

going to be huge. Are there big, is

38:07

going to be a big? Oh, I think

38:09

Eliza Martin is the type of tough player

38:11

that you need on the ball. And I

38:13

do think that Houston learned a lesson at

38:15

the end of this game and maybe Calvin,

38:17

I mean, we didn't watch the post game

38:19

yet, I'm sure Calvin had some thoughts on

38:21

that, but like the pressure that they turned

38:23

up on Duke, can they get Florida turning

38:25

the ball over? And I think that they

38:27

can, I think they can get up in

38:29

their grill and I think they may. turn

38:31

to that a little bit sooner than they

38:33

did against Duke, right? I mean it did

38:35

feel like a last ditch effort and then

38:37

it works so well that they're probably looking

38:40

around like we should turn the heat a

38:42

little bit sooner like why do we let

38:44

this kind of sit and settle in before

38:46

we try to do something a little bit

38:48

different so you know Florida they average around

38:50

11 turnovers a game so like you get

38:52

them turning the ball over you get that

38:54

bad not that bad these are these are

38:56

the two best teams of the country yeah

38:58

yeah I was gonna say you know I'm

39:00

not going to act like I'm an expert

39:02

on the way Calvin likes to run offense

39:04

year to year on that front, but I

39:06

mean, do you think that they maybe were

39:08

trying to keep ball screen out of it

39:10

because ball screen was going to involve mala

39:13

watch and flag sort of the way that

39:15

Memphis has been playing this year? So I

39:17

don't know why that just dawned on me,

39:19

but I wonder if that's why that, and

39:21

maybe that they figured out that they would

39:23

just went out in the end. Right. They

39:25

were just like, if we can just like,

39:27

if we can just out last last last

39:29

last last last. then you know like if

39:31

we have it closed within six because it

39:33

did feel like in the first half Duke

39:35

should have been up ten plus obviously at

39:37

halftime yeah but like Houston has made some

39:39

shots late Proctor had a wide open shot

39:41

at the end of that half that like

39:43

if he makes that three it's nine you

39:46

know we're you know we're all money everything's

39:48

good but the fact that it was always

39:50

within I feel like Houston, if they can

39:52

use that same approach with Florida where it's

39:54

just like keep it within range, keep the

39:56

possessions in our same lane, our same pace,

39:58

our same flow, we can strike when we

40:00

need to. And if Crier's shoot, I mean,

40:02

Crier versus Clayton. in a shootout. I mean,

40:04

this is going to be hilarious. I mean,

40:06

these are two guys that go willing to

40:08

do it. Of course. And they have like,

40:10

I mean, these are elite shot makers and

40:12

shot takers at the highest level. So the

40:14

fact that those two guys are going to

40:16

be going back and forth, I think that's

40:19

going to be a whole lot of fun.

40:21

I'm excited to see what the guards look

40:23

like, too. I mean, obviously, the front court

40:25

is going to be an absolute brawl. But

40:27

that's an expectation at this point. And Houston,

40:29

this is their first time in the National

40:31

Championship game since 1984. We saw Elijah Wan

40:33

at the Fanfest. Just in there, like a,

40:35

like a, like a zebra on display. It

40:37

was given more on Mountain Vibbs. You know

40:39

what I mean? He was like, he was

40:41

like, he was like, he was like, he

40:43

was so frustrated with like seven minutes ago

40:45

that cut a hill on the sideline to

40:47

Elijah wanted. You could tell you just talking

40:49

to talk to his talking to his friend

40:52

and his friend. It's like. It's like. This,

40:54

you know, like he seemed very like frustrated

40:56

about how this game was going and Kelvin

40:58

kept saying every time they showed him like

41:00

just play. I do feel like there is

41:02

an energy now with Houston where like this

41:04

getting to the title game. It's like now

41:06

that we're here, it's like, well, might as

41:08

well win it. You know what I mean?

41:10

Like, this was a big moment for the

41:12

program to get back in the good graces.

41:14

And sure, 2021 was great. Shout out to

41:16

Quint and Grimes. I loved watching Quint and

41:18

Grimes, but this Houston team feels more of

41:20

like a finished product of the Kelvin- Sampson

41:22

story. And then Florida feels like the first

41:25

chapter of a really powerful program that's back

41:27

on the rise, you know what I mean?

41:29

So like on both sides. It's a very

41:31

fascinating narrative and like I can buy in

41:33

and get excited about either one and you

41:35

know obviously there were great that's the reason

41:37

why I was a great final four in

41:39

the first place like no matter how these

41:41

these games went tonight there was going to

41:43

be fascinating storylines and we got a great

41:45

one in the title game. The Blue Blood

41:47

let's call Spain a span the Blue Blood

41:49

programs are so relieved tonight because it's the

41:51

enemy of my enemy thing. where we know

41:53

they they don't want Duke winning it and

41:55

no blue blood wants another blue blood to

41:58

win it so everybody was so thrilled to

42:00

even you know Khan was like we just

42:02

tied them yeah we can't let them get

42:04

seven you know and Carolina is like we

42:06

can't let them get seven you know and

42:08

Carolina is like we can't let them get

42:10

seven you know yeah and like this this

42:12

is in everybody's best I had a stat

42:14

you were talking about shopmakers this is really

42:16

this is a wild stat for the college

42:18

level Walter Clayton junior this this this this

42:20

year this this this this this year or

42:22

191 dribble 91 dribble three you shot on

42:24

those. I mean it has to be high

42:26

because I feel like I watch I mean

42:28

I would say at least 40% let's say

42:31

41 38 38. On that volume I call

42:33

in the college level that's crazy. It's insane

42:35

power five. Well I mean it's insane and

42:37

then like he has this kind of go-to

42:39

like fade off to his right three that

42:41

almost feels like his like you know CP3

42:43

has that elbow jumper where he kind of

42:45

fades to create the space like that's what

42:47

Clayton does. He hops to the right. Yeah,

42:49

right. And Steve got it from Steve Nash,

42:51

but that's another right. Exactly. Well, they're all

42:53

in the same universe. Yeah, I mean, they're

42:55

all great guard. Shout out to the great

42:57

guard play. But it's cool to see like

42:59

these little things all kind of add up

43:02

and at the end, we have a great

43:04

match up and I'm very excited about. God

43:06

damn right. This is going to be a

43:08

fun match up. It's going to be a

43:10

great game. We are again in San Antonio

43:12

live. We are reacting live to the games.

43:14

We will be at the game on Monday

43:16

night. We will be reacting live here from

43:18

San Antonio. This was an awesome Saturday for

43:20

all the people. I talked to a lot.

43:22

It delivered. It delivered. We thought we we

43:24

yeah, we had all this talk about like.

43:26

Oh my God. The four seeds. Oh, woe

43:28

was me. The Cinderellarellas. The Cinderellarellas. The Cinderellais.

43:30

The Cinderellarellas. The Cinderellarellas. the games. Everybody that

43:32

was like actual college basketball media was like

43:35

what is this coordinated effort to shit on

43:37

the best 14th being in the final floor?

43:39

We don't know. We simply do not know

43:41

where it's coming from but I promise you

43:43

if you watch the games you know how

43:45

good it was and they delivered. Poor one

43:47

out for Cooper Flag, I really do feel

43:49

for him because again, he is a guy

43:51

who's super talented, he's gonna be the number

43:53

one pick, he did make a final four,

43:55

he did have an incredible season, there is

43:57

no, like this should not be like the

43:59

only thing that we discuss when it comes

44:01

to Duke career, nor will it be that,

44:03

but I just wanted to say that because

44:05

like this is the time we all like

44:08

the dump on Duke, you know, you know,

44:10

I've been there. I've been there, I've grown

44:12

up a little bit, you don't always have

44:14

to dump on him, but like for flag

44:16

in that moment I think he got put

44:18

in a tough spot, so I do feel

44:20

for him and you know if I'm kenip,

44:22

I mean some of these guys might even...

44:24

you know how the two you know you

44:26

know how it is there's always that two-day

44:28

grace period where like is you gonna come

44:30

back yeah like no you're a top team

44:32

mad and then they start talking about the

44:34

money whether they call their agent and parents

44:36

and they're like no no then they start

44:38

talking about the money and then and then

44:41

you start thinking about the college workouts in

44:43

the summer you're like you know what in

44:45

class and like people call me student athletes

44:47

44:49
