There are brand new head coaches in Big 12 basketball that might not be very good hires. Oh, and three teams in the sweet 16 that will also be an elite eight and then the final four. And then this is the no sigran de squad. You're talking ball with the Big 12 squad. From Oklahoma State to Utah, from Kansas State to BYU, from Houston to Texas Tech, it's the local experts of the Lockdown Podcast Network bringing you scoops, breakdowns and the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming Big 12 weekend. Buckle up, it's the Big 12 squad and we have a seat for you. No hurt feelings and thin skin allowed. Squad up, you're part of the Big 12 squad. I mean, Thursday night, everybody walk one of the big 12 squad. I'm Drake Toll from America's number one Big 12 podcast locked on big 12.

2:00Thank you for making this show or these shows. You're first listen every single day because we're joined by Parker Ian's worth of locked on coups, Cody Stovall of locked on Oklahoma State. Oh, fucking all things. Sun Devils Philip Mulfur joins the no sigran de squad and a locked on network as of the last month or so. Man, they're killing the content and they have a brand new head coach. We will get there later. We have to start in March madness and begin with the three teams still alive in the big 12 conference. If you hit subscribe, we all get to keep our jobs and that would be good. Hey, Drake, did you say March madness or March madness? I didn't. I said March mad. I don't even know what that is, man. Oklahoma State does do the wrestling. Pretty impressive wrestling. I'll give it to you, Cody. But we also have Parker Ian's worth to his universities doing a little bit more on the national scale right now. Given their basketball teams, great success. And one mountain near Paul, fashionably late. That's how we like it around here. Parker, you are once again in the sweet 16.

3:00Not you. You didn't make a shot this round. But Houston is once again in the sweet 16. And I think all three of these big. I had all three of them in the my final four before the tournament. And if I could be so crass. Yes, we got teams lose for sure. But the three teams that actually could have won the national championship are all three still alive. And they're the only three teams in the big 12 that actually could have won the national championship. Given the injury issues of some other contenders. Right. So I think we're okay. Yeah. And it's interesting. I remember it was really early on in basketball season. We're comparing conferences and level and I kind of went back. I love level, but it was like top heavy versus depth. And I was like, you know, at that point, I thought the big 12 had four or five teams that could win the whole thing. Top and get hurt. Saunders gets hurt. Things change. And now it's proving out to be the three teams that were healthy out of that group. And I would say it's actually not healthy. And they're still they're still doing it, which probably pointed out, right. They're they're still playing in the second weekend. It I think it speaks to a different kind of dominant when you have the top end of the sport.

4:04And I also, you know, when everyone's healthy, but they went further down than that. But say good showing for the big 12. It's funny. You get rid of those two schools and a couple of care about basketball and all of a sudden you're the best conference in the league. And it's just it's a whole different sport. Awesome. Yeah. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hi, Paul. How's life, Paul? Doing good. Look, life is good except for the women. They just lost to Kentucky. One point loss. Hey, Paul. Women, except for the women. I didn't know where we're going. Didn't know where we're going. That's great. The ladies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, Paul. It is unfortunate. There's always next year if they said. Life's going well. I'm I'm excited. Football season. Spring practice just started back up for West Virginia football. So obviously we can't we don't have any basketball going on. You know. All right.

5:04This is let's do a good question that I can give the masses. Because most of you are out of the tournament. My bailer bears, my alma mater. They're balanced. Didn't make it. Oh, they're in the crown. Sorry. The crown. Wow. The cowgirl. The cowgirls play UCLA. If that helps. Yeah. The one girls that you see as a giant. I want to say is the crowns of a thing. I thought they had a crowns of thing. No. I was invited this year. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. C.O. I mean, wrestling is over so yeah, I'll hit some basketball up. Yeah, I watched every game. So. There we go. Oh, that is that away Paul that Vandy game. My goodness. I know it's not big 12. But deserves credit. West Virginia could have had Bart Bianton because they wanted him. and it's proven what made him good at James Madison. And what's making him good now, Vandy.

6:04And that's not an easy job to win at. Neither is James Madison basketball specifically. So, you know, would have been nice to see what he could do in the big 12, but now he's going to be moving on to somewhere bigger and better. Former Bob Duncan's disciple, Calhoun got the Cincinnati job. That's another, that's another big one. Jared Calhoun is going to be a problem in this conference. Promise. Hey, speaking of the big 12, how many of us had three big 12 teams in the final four? Other ideas as well. I think we all hoped it would happen at two. No, Ellen, we don't do brackets. You just loaded 16, man. This thing is loaded. It doesn't matter what side you look at for either teams. They're all tough games. I mean, every single one of them. Yeah, I got Iowa. I mean, it's a nice way. Even Texas, you know, like they look really good. That's like the greatest big man I ever watched by college basketball, all of a sudden, just not good at all. He was against BYU and then again, against Gonzaga.

7:06Yeah, but, you know, look, they are coached by Sean Miller, so that's automatically like 10 points, 10 down the ranking, down whatever it is. There you go. As an ASU fan, I think I'm allowed to say that. Formerly used to include Trumon Market, Texas won all those games too. The weaver kid, man, his hairline has not gotten any better. He's been in college for six years. You know, we don't have scary kids. I don't think we have a product, but we should probably use a product placement for someone to help him with that. That would be a great spot. Someone should get in. Yeah, we're really good in I.L. But he's, it's like when I take too much Benadrill. That's what I see. I see the weaver kid from Texas in my dreams. I'm like a dapper Dan man here, you know. Dapper Dan man, a brother or a Thal reference, Cullen brothers. Nicely done. Yeah, that's pretty good. Life soundtrack at the Grand Ole Opry. A couple of weeks ago, Met Tim Blake Nelson. Now what? Now what? So Houston obviously has made an exemplary statement in the tournament thus far.

8:06Do you think of the three teams in the Big 12? Just Houston have the best shot to get there and get it done? Probably still Arizona to me, but Parker would go. I was a Houston's playing at Toyota's Interest that helps some. Yeah, that's a lot. Someone's being in. That's a fine, that's going to be a fine of some sort. Now, so I, Jamie, they were throwing Jamie Dixon and jail for that. Houston's got a good shot. I think they also, Iowa beating Florida looks really easy on paper all of a sudden, but Iowa's a pretty tough matchup. They're really big. They go farm boys. Tired Iowa playing basketball. And they got one of the bet in my opinion, one of the most underrated players in all college basketball in the thirds. Well, they're coaching the last long at Iowa. He just keeps. Oh, he think McCullough is going to be on up. I don't know. He could probably win at Iowa for a while. They liked their basketball. They put money in that program. Well, he's also from Iowa, too. That's a big reason why he went there. That's one of the reasons why they chose him. You know, I'm OK, Peyton Clark.

9:07Nobody cares to calm down. I'm OK now with the fact that he won four natties before he came to Iowa. There's something about the, yeah, D2, right? Northwest Missouri State. Yeah. Brim Baker hired. Yeah. At that. Where was that? Northwest Missouri. I don't really mind. A lot of people are complaining. There aren't that many Cinderella's this year. Let's get your guys' thoughts on the lack of Cinderella's. If that, if that means it marches a little bit less than what it used to be coming up next on locked on big 12.

11:12Locked on insert here dot supercast.com. You get them trying to stay there. Here's the reason I don't mind the fact they're not a lot of Cinderella's. This is a season where Houston or Arizona had lost to St. Louis or St. Mary's or lost to Cleveland state. Yeah, we love that. It's so fun and then Cleveland state loses down the line of the sweet 16 by 29 points. And you know, surely there will be teams that lose by 29 points. But I just don't mind the fact we have some of the best players in college basketball giving us eight games. Paul, you mentioned it. That all have star power that all have like intrigue of the best players in the sport. The level of basketball that we get is not. And I don't want to die. I love us and I do love Cinderella's. I'm just not that mad that we get elite basketball. I'm not complaining that we get elite basketball because a lot of time Cinderella is as good as they are predicated on three pointers. They make a lot of threes. They get hot in the tournament. And that's what carries them through or sometimes they dunk the ball. This year, the best 16 teams, I think, or some of the best 16 are a lot.

12:14I've got a hotter take on the big picture things, but I will say I appreciate that when none of us are calling Texas as Cinderella, that really hurt me over the weekend is like they have for our reason Lamborghini's outside as the part of the NIL package. Like they don't get to just because they actually suck for most of the year does not mean they get to suddenly be a Cinderella because they decide to play basketball in March. Like that doesn't seem right. I don't necessarily think you can consider a 5C per se a Cinderella, but for me guys, it's St. John's. I will obviously should be part of this conversation, but I love that the red storm are not only relative again, but how about the old ball coach making another run at a nanny? I know he's been there a few seasons now and he's kind of got St. John's kind of back to where they are. But I think it's pretty cool that they're able to kind of shake things up. You mentioned the star power. It's nice to see a coach have this capability at multitude of schools. Reminds me a lot of like a nitty-sutton. Maybe that's why I think that beaten coaches and coaches and suits had like a winning record

13:15by four or five games over the weekend. Do you see that? I didn't see that. I love that though. I like that. There you go. There you go. Does Calipari's checkered jacket? Does that count as a suit? Oh, I don't know. I don't know how fish they're going to play as a versus suit versus, but I just saw the stat on TV. Do you think he'll wear, because they played last year, do you think Calipari will wear the dinner table, tablecloth, the Italian restaurant tablecloth again? He strategically wore that suit coat last year. Shout out Rick Patino. I just looked it up. Like Rick Patino incidents is all I searched and oh, 1974 linked to NCAA violations at Hawaii. I don't even know how to do that. He's been doing this for a long time. 2009, Patino was embroiled in a case where a woman, Karen Cipher, attempted to blackmail him after in a fair. She was later convicted of extortion while Patino admitted to the affair and provided money for an abortion. Uh oh. I just keep getting job. Like I have what's crazy about coach that happened at the winds like yeah, Louisville didn't

14:16fire him. It happened in Oh nine that he did that he was like, yeah, I had an affair and I paid for an abortion. Louisville was like, well, he's wins games. 2015 scandal emerged that Louisville staff members provided prostitutes and strippers to recruits and players. Shout out to the team reading the way NCAA investigations, Patino failed to oversee his staff resulting in a five game suspension and the stripping of a championship. He only got suspended five games for buying the kids prostitutes. They're like, I don't know, man. He wins. And finally, uh, the 2017 Adidas bribery scandal where he bribed a recruit with $100,000, which is actually funny to look back on. My friend Josh Brooks and we were in the old rehab together, used to say one, one of my favorite lines ever, his name out there is only one thing better than prosties and that's prosties. Wow. When these prosties, yeah, yeah, yeah. The only thing better, huh? What were he?

15:17Actually, I have a video recorded on my phone where he called me, unfortunately, he relapsed and he was, he called me to, yeah, he called me to just prosties, fill up and go. Well, that is a wonderful transition. Thank you. You're welcome. Welcome. Okay. I did have a take on this Cinderella thing. I think unless it's a freshman, it's probably done because truthfully, the way basketball works now is there's some freshman that's a stud at Chattanooga State. They're not at Chattanooga State the next year anymore. Yeah. Correct. Like, that thing has gone by, like, I don't think that there ever will be a non power force in the world, like, of substance, like high point had a $4.2 million in I L base. Really? Like, real 4.2? I thought it was 1.5. I saw a 4.2 in their stadium looks like a pass, but that's, that can't be on flutter

16:19by the way. I don't remember. Well, the camera flutter, right, was a Kentucky Wildcat at a high school, right? Like a six star at high school is so good. Yeah. So I say that to say that, like, I kind of feel like the reality is the Cinderella being Iowa or Texas, a powerful conference scene that didn't succeed during the season, but it only turns it on in March is like actually the more the way this is in Georgia from a few years ago where they were under 500 and won the SEC. It's, I mean, it's one thing to complain about. Oh, there's no Cinderella's, you know, I miss my butlers or whatever. It's nothing to say, look, NIL, the way it works right now is not great. And it's sucking the fun out of many sports and it's sucking Cinderella's away. Like, we're not having Cinderella stories anymore. It's hard for anyone that doesn't have crazy NIL budget to go compete in any money sport. So yeah. If the NCAA wants to suck the fun out of me, um, they have to pay for it.

17:20Yeah. Carry on, Drake, carry on lost these frosty, given the, given the, given the, the NCAA's rules that make the transfer portal terrible and the NIL, everything's just sad. And now the player assigned to your contracts, Hello, Brendan Sorsby and don't have to adhere to their two year contracts. Doesn't matter anymore. Drake, I tell you what I don't like if the NCAA investigates for prosties and great. It, well, yes. If you got accused for whatever, they meant Paul. Why would you? Frosties. Yeah. Frosties and frosties. It would somehow come back on a cool estate. So yeah. Yeah. Yep. You would get punished for the rest of the big 12s doings coming up new hires across the big 12 conference Cincinnati and Arizona State. Are they good enough for they too old locked on big 12 squad?

All right, big 12 squad fill a yet a new head coach in temporary Arizona state is going to win for a couple of years and then watch their coach retire. What what's the vibe around the program with this higher? Well, I've learned that Arizona State basketball is a retirement home. People doing Arizona. That's a people do there. You know, it works out for us because honestly, Randy Bennett is a home run higher for ASU, which was like number 50 in basketball expenditure. There's the the program cost, not necessarily in I own money, like number 50 in basketball expenditure this year to get a guy that as experienced and as it's quality as their

20:24any minute is is a home run higher. My worry is that he's like 64. He said he does not want to coach into his seventies. He's going down here because his parents are getting older and they live in the valley. And my worry here is like, we're going to get him for five years that we're going to be in this spot again in five years. And if we don't manage this really, really intelligently, we're going to be coming up. We're going to get into brand new stadium that's happening in like 2029. We're not going to have someone to fill the slot and it's just going to be really awkward. So what I mean, if in those five years, he goes to four NCAA tournaments and the elite day twice, I think that's worth it. I think anybody would give everyone to do that, everyone always do coach, coach and waiting situation. That's what I'm open for. I'm working for Utah. It worked really well for Utah. So I guess my thing with that feel is that it feels like to me, Bennett had also kind of hit a stealing at St. Mary's with Gonzaga leaving that conference and the world.

21:25He already isn't making sweet sixteenth ever. I did one 10 years ago. Well, I mean, he's been there 20, he's been at St. Mary's 25 years and kind of, he, he, he hit whatever ceiling they could hit in modern college basketball, right? And he's going to say that I think it's like, hey, it might be five or six years, but here's one last run and make it something cool, you know, and like, what other place to do it besides the big 12, frankly, yeah, but he's, there's also a piece of this of, you know, you went from St. Mary's playing Portland on Tuesday and then Washington State this year on Friday, right? Because they did their little, what are something like that to now having Arizona, followed by Houston on the road, back at home to play Houston again. Now you have to go play at BYU and then you're going on the road to play Iowa, do you want Ames Iowa? Well, if I go and getting chewed up and spit out, there are four or five games stretches in this conference that are built to make you die. And here's the thing, right? So Bobby Hurley's teams, they would look awful sometimes. Their entire ethos is we're going to let the shooter shoot.

22:26We're going to hit these threes and sometimes we're shooting 20% from me on the arc and it's or like 10% from beyond the arc and we're just not hitting shots and awful, but we would also go and knock off the Kansas of the world, the Texas Tex of the world because sometimes their shooters get hot and something happens. Yeah. We're not going to, like, we're going to have a much higher standard of quality out of ASU going forward. I think it's fair to say that Bennett is going to have the standard of quality. Very defensive team. And we're not going to have, we're not going to have the high highs, but we're not going to have the low lows. His name is, my concern would be there doesn't seem to be a rich history right now of the older generation of coaches, kind of figuring things out in this new generation of NIL in the portal for the most part. Obviously, you know, Rick up there at St. John's is a little little different because the near age of college basketball, he's already been really, really good at it back when it was backdoor money. He might be a little bit of an exception, but I think that you're, I don't know, your old school traditional coaches that have foundations set on, you know, high moral ground and things

23:31of that nature. I just don't know that it works a whole lot anymore. And that would be my only concern for y'all is your inner rebuild mode and the old heads don't seem to be having the greatest grasp on this crazy NIL portal generation because it's hard for them to get people to buy in to the university and stuff anymore. Here's the one thing that makes Bennett actually really good in that arena, not that he's this crazy NIL guy, but we don't have a lot of NIL money right now. If we hired another guy, Derek Glasser, apparently hard was going to go double R and I L fund, because they played together. They're friends. Yeah, it's like it. That would have been such an awful head coach, but anyway, Bennett has got six four stars in his entire history. He's got one five star. He is very good at making it work with these analytics guys, these guys coming in from Australia and from Europe. Okay. Making it work on lower NIL budgets, making it work based on people like from alternate recruiting pathways. So I'm like, I'm not the most worried that he's not bringing in five stars.

24:33I mean, look, ASU had the number six recruiting class in the country last year. Look at that. Look at how that did us, you know, he is worried there. He's one of less talent or like lower talent, certainly than like the teens even in the WCC, right? And he got like the Delavatova kid from Australia, right? And international. The Delavatova kid. As if he hasn't played an entire NBA career. Well, it was a kid when he went to the sweet 16 with them in 20. Oh, Matthew. Oh, oh, good old Matthew. He's all have to hyped up on coffee, whatever, remember that? No, the trick to me too is that there's a weird guy. He's like 30 now. He's not hopped up on Mountain Dew. No, but both speaking of that, do you know what I'm upset? I want to order. I want to door dash came or Walmart came right in the middle of our show, of course. You know, no free pub. You don't even meant don't need to drop that name, no free pub.

25:35And they brought, they brought zero sure. What are they thinking here? Yeah. I'm pretty upset about that. Yeah. Okay. No, I was going to, my joke was going to be a comment on it. And I am money. And then it's going to flash off that we were poor. But that's our only joke. Oh, I'm sorry. I ruined your joke. No, I want to throw. I actually think that this wasn't the best hire of the cycle of the big 12. I think there was a subtle, you could hire last week. Definitely. So it happened. The case stayed higher. How? Who's got to be the best hire for me? I only think Calhouna. Oh, okay. Let's debate here because we've got a guy. The case stayed. We got a guy yet. It's Cincinnati now. So I guess Calhouna public this week, but didn't Calhoun get like secretly backdoored, like backdoored, secretly like behind closed doors last week before the season ended at Utah state. And that was kind of the story. It was like he was coaching, knowing he was leaving or something that, nobody heard that whole thing. Yeah. There was controversy that he was already a foot out the door, which, because they like turned down like interviews other people and he turned down other interviews and stuff

26:37like that. And Cincinnati from Hogan stays right or whatever, like this is this is his thing. I think that's home run. I like that. That's a great hire. Yeah. You talk about the age. He's 44. He's worked his way up and like he weirdly seems like he fits. Like since now he's not going to have a bunch of the five star guys, they're going to get a couple. You know, like he, like he's going to be all right. I think that's going to be a really good. I think that's like a scare. And like, I mean, I mentioned my old age is called Matthew Delvedova, a kid. I think of Cincinnati as being a good basketball program, like back in the day, right? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a good basketball program. Yeah. Yeah. Back when the Big East was the king of hoops. They were right there in the thick of all of it. You have for the move, for a move like this for me for Cincinnati, you've got to commit to basketball and just give football a chance to reboot. And some schools I do. I don't think since in a big 12 in this area of basketball school, yeah, I don't see them really if, if like Baylor and Cincinnati sell out for basketball and have 19 million

27:38dollar NIL budgets with great head coaches, now we're now you're cooking. Just kind of put that money to basketball and forget about football for a little bit. You since an adi just had its best roster of the last probably since they had Dana and they won seven and five, seven and six. Yeah, not being able to hold on the sores, but he definitely does not send the greatest of messages. No, I mean, them being able to compete in football is going to be brutally tough. Those, okay, so we know that football's ceiling is maybe seven or eight wins. Let's just go win a national championship in basketball. I just, it doesn't kind of feel like that football still the front porch and they're in the big 12. They're in the big 12 because of their Desmond Ritter success with with Luke fickle. Like without those successful football seasons, they're not in this conference. I think I'm back. I don't think they can abandon it. Love Scott Frost, Rich Rod and fickle all in the big 12, that's going to be great. Back with the old school. It's going to be great. Yeah. Tom Herman comes back to Houston.

28:39No. So, but in basketball's conference, you've got, I was saying I'm going to say Kelvin, but you've got, it'll selfless one titles unless he retires next few days, which I guess by the time it's air, he might have who knows. Scott drew a Baylor's one title for whatever you think about him now. He didn't win a title there. You got McCast on that tech is really, really good. Yeah. You got out the burger. You got Tommy Lloyd, he needs to be clear of the list. Jamie Dixon, I think there's a lot with a little, I thought talking to a lot of the little this year. I'm not as high on Kevin Young as other people are, but some people want a system. But yeah, I mean, he's probably obviously still has a lot to prove.
