Today's show is sponsored by strawberry.me. Let me ask you something. Do you think championship

athletes got to the top by guessing? No, they had coaching. Every elite athlete has a coach

watching their form, calling the plays and spotting the blind spots they can't see themselves.

That's how championships are won. So why are you trying to win in your career without a coach?

You're grinding, hoping for the promotion, trying to read the politics, guessing your next move.

That's amateur hour. If you want to perform like a pro, you need coaching.

Strawberry.me matches you with a professional career coach who breaks down your game film.

They help you negotiate the race, navigate workplace politics, and execute a strategy that

actually works. Stop writing the bench in your own life. Go to strawberry.me slash podcast 50

to get 50% off your first coaching session. Strawberry.me because pros don't guess they get coached

to win. No rocker was throwing high heat. All right. He was throwing high heat.

Chicken music right at Tennessee Michigan, Chicago, Illinois.

The home of the goddamn lasagna pizza, right? Don't you do this? I won't do it. I know we're almost out.

That is right. Those those fucking Dominicans don't know how to make pizza says,

being like, right? These tennis scenes are coming up and they're like,

all this is great pizza better than we've ever had.

The balls are catching seven and a half made outline here,

outline here too. I will lock up Michigan. This is like a terrible match up for Tennessee in my

opinion. Like Tennessee is a great rebounding team. Well, guess what? So is Michigan.

Right. The strengths of Tennessee, I think, get negated when they play Michigan.

And I'm going to fade. I know I fade Tennessee almost every game.

Who do they play? Who do they play in the opening round?

By me and my name.

I haven't got a Tennessee game. Right. So you guys, if you're a ball fan, I'm doing you a selling.

You're welcome. Right. But give me a Michigan minus seven and a half and I'll sprinkle the outline

on that too. Mac.

Seven and a half? Seven and a half.

Why do I think Michigan's right side? No way. Rocky Top. You'll always be home,

sweet home to me. Come on, Rick Barts. Finish it off. Finish it off and prove these jabronies

wrong. Let's go. Let's go. Come on, Rick Barts.

Your hat fits right in, right? Oh, I'm right in there with old smoking.

What's his name? He says Smoky. Smoky. He's so great. Smoky's a fucking dude.

It's like they're on the slide. He's wearing sunglasses at night.

But yeah, he's going to lose this battle. Beenick,

do I even need to ask you? Mac, do you want to know the cocktail napkin number on this?

The timeout. I'm going to guess. I know this, this Kempom or Bartorvick or cocktail napkin haven't got you

that you do. We're going to go my, my assumption is being it is going to be Michigan minus

five and a half. Three and a half. Oh, look at that old Rick Barts.

And I just think that's because the team that I've watched the recent suretched last

I don't know month, they've just kind of been on cruise control, like played down to their competition.

I'm cautiously optimistic because I do think that Tennessee is a team that they should be able to

handle. But if they play with their food and man, I'll be so pissed that they bow out before

the final four because this thing has just really opened up. Especially in India, especially in

India, like in Chicago. Yeah. So yeah, I agree with Colby on everything. I'm going against the

cocktail napkin. I'm laying it again, cautiously cautiously optimistic that I think Michigan,

if they play 100% engagement effort wise for a 40 minute stretch. I don't see how Tennessee's

offense gets buckets. Third time to charm Rick Barnes. Yeah. It's great to lead eight.

This one he gets stuff. He's so dude, dude. He's so dude. What is best in life?

Crusher enemies. See them driven before you.

All right, final game. Sunday. You caught Duke. Wash it DC phenomenal.

Duke played five and a half. Oh, what a game do we got here? Man,

the line is not. Nope. I will lock up Duke. This is another online for me.

This is another online for me. I think Duke is going to destroy you, Tom.

What? Yep. Yep.

I need the analysis here. I just don't think you cons that like, dude, I don't think Duke's good.

Really? I do. I do.

Uh, to me like you can't get getting up that 25 to 5 liter whatever the fuck it was.

Um, that was the game right there. Like I, that was to me. I don't think Duke would give

that opportunity. I think you can't spend a little funnier year credit to you,

Conn and Hurley for getting that dub and great and great game plan because they stuck it to

him right away. But I think Duke, especially now that I know they're healthy. I think Duke's

healthy or I should say. Yeah. Duke's better at every position.

What am I doing here? Yeah. Lay it. Duke will have the crowd too, my little bit.

That shit was even the night. It kind of was. There's a lot of you confants in DC.

Yeah, I didn't realize that. Yeah, but it's, I mean, it's a big East territory.

Yeah, I would say that Duke has the edge by slight margins. But

I think Duke is just a way better basketball team this year.

Like without question to me.

Cast you know, say an avenger retic.

I will say you can't historically like fucks with them with a tournament.

You don't fuck to do. Yeah, they do.

Yeah, but yeah, I'm laying Duke minus five and a half. My dog is the Hawkeyes,

the Hawkeyes only. Lock it up. Back. What are you doing here? Clip it.

You come hosties. They're beating Duke out right on Sunday. Once again,

whether it was Cal Hoon, back in the day against Coach Kay. Now Hurley's going to be shire.

I like to match up. I like to match up. I think Yukon has not played the best game.

I think Duke's overrated. I think Duke is way overrated.

Yukon wins the game out right. They go back to a final four for the third time in four years.

See you in Indy. Yukon fans and uh, buy my drinks. Let's go with my money.

Yukon Huskies. Wait, what part of the match up do you like here?

I'm curious. Duke's the best defensive rated team in the country, right?

They got a spot. They're 43. I know. They're still, I mean, top 25. I like the experience of

Caravan. Okay. I like the experience of Caravan, Hurley. They make almost every number. I would say

what? They're just the better three point shooting team. Yukon is a better three point shooting team.

Yeah. Every other category. And I know, but I'm just saying like, I mean, they dominated the

stats against St. Johnson. I do. And they fucking had to hold on for dear life.

I think Duke's soft. I think Yukon's going to muck it up. I think you can't soft.

I think Duke's soft. Here we go. Let's go. Come on, Yukon.

Be it. Yukon Huskies. So the napkins got this game at Duke minus five and it's got the total dead

on at one thirty four and a half, which is a good thing. I think that in the three games,

my model is right on the number. I really shouldn't have an edge on any of the team's remaining.

The biggest edge was actually against Michigan. But I'm on Duke here, man. I think that

they were able to get that one game with foster kind of getting reinserted into the lineup

out of the way. And they did it like, and he was a huge factor in them winning. I think that

it can only get better. They're only going to rally around that guy even more that he's playing

through that. And a lot of people are playing through injuries and whatnot. Like I don't think

that demo is totally healthy for Yukon either. For me, it's the defensive Duke. Download with

Gangba. I think he's going to be able to match Reed. And I have more faith than Duke's front court

having more depth than Yukons. If there's any foul trouble, if Terrace Reed gets in the foul

trouble, I think Yukon's really in trouble. And that's that's the biggest thing for me to give

the edge to Duke. I'm going to lay it and rock it with the blue devils, guys. Another thing I like

about Hurley. He almost beat Golden last year with that bum team from Yukon. Yeah, that's right.

Hurley's obviously an amazing coach. Hurley coach. He really can really can.

Way out of battle, baby. Daniel.

I mean, Kubi. They weren't trash. I went 500. What do you talk about? I went five and three in

the sweet 16. I mean, my picks weren't good, but they were not bad. Today's games I went three and one.

Three and one. My picks were trash, but you know what? That that soft bitch didn't also take C&M

money line. So why don't you lick my balls? Yeah, speaking of actually, you said Yukon hasn't played

their best. I don't know if Duke's played their best game. Like they floored it because Ashtray

against, yeah, they certainly haven't they. They they. It's for my handicap. They dressed it up

late on TCU because all the free throws and the techs and TCUs fell apart. And then St. John's.

I mean, they were trailing for 30 minutes. So yeah. Yep. Yep. Bad matchup.

It's actually hilarious that the one and two seed got to the regional final and neither ones

actually kind of played well. And it's kind of been against teams that we expected to be there.

Oh, they're their entire path, their entire way to the elite eight. Like they just haven't played

their best. And I think you can say that about Michigan. I don't think you can say that about

Iowa, Illinois. I think they're both playing their best basketball right now. Perdue didn't have

a great game, but I think their team trajectory is still going up. Arizona is the one elite team,

like the one top seed that really is not shown any signs of slowing down the entire year.

Yeah, 100%. 100%. All right. That's our show.
