Jeff Goodman, WEEI.com

Joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T your world delivered in our Iraq. Dale and holly leadoff spot today from fox sports and of course WEEI dot com is Jeff Goodman what believes in Greensboro today Archie Jeff.

I am adults don't like to you what would shock all the way -- No not all the way through not our way and I got some I asked him -- concerns along this journey well Arnold about way to Motown. How bad this.

All all I know it. This here would about it -- it got so upset and nothing communicate in a book I guarantee it is going to be. You know a lot of thought that that they'd probably I agree with you you know a lot of the top it will end up getting. Detroit but I think it's going to be great this just now lot of separation between you know -- pain in thirty this year and keeping it out.

See that's not how I look -- the language you speak it right now it is it is it is eloquent in English that you bring to the table -- say this. I'm paying and agree with me. I have North Carolina. In the final four I've got UConn about global and I got Xavier I'm sure you've got Xavier the final four to right.

I have elected -- point guard is at my. -- This. Particular trouble I think that -- it then what do -- have a one out there ain't that.

I am I am a big fan of Sean Miller. I know the coach I'm a big fan of their schedule they had the top they have the toughest schedule in the country.

And under at eight. I'd like every other in the fact that they have one point guard and he's a freshman and he he just don't get up an important. That the that the right people know that they're you know that.

But yeah I did it just because I'd I don't believe in Pitt I think that is going to -- up somewhere and they going to slip up to Xavier. And they're not going to get to the regional final.

We what you gotta love apply that was -- it. Was. Thank you got. Within my not my job as they may have lacked right now. Everywhere you looked Q you told -- not been quoted that was that he's active a player like. You put into Toney Douglas is going to be the next step into her ear and he's just not that they're very very cute wire. Florida State to me I think video has to look up to -- the first round.

I let's talk for a minute about something you wrote today. Ty Lawson is not gonna play tonight play in the first game I should say for the University of North Carolina. I was little surprise because if I'm North Carolina I probably don't -- either they don't need to play him and yet you question his commitment.

I absolutely didn't I think K if you hit it did you came back to meet you look for spots in you know. -- And you see Tyler Hansbrough and you're naked came back to win -- but. And he came back all the right reasons. It -- me not -- you'll receive back -- is because -- out of trouble last year and had to come about -- got arrested. Like before it yet but. And not be MBA -- that this is an -- So epic comeback yet know what I think it is clear is declaring at all if Tyler Hansbrough -- but got right that would play right though. What Bobby -- drug -- got -- you know forty majoring in early. They would not be sitting this one out -- opted out law that is that the best Soviet I think the doctor would say you want to go go one way they've been. Appear healthy Ugoh. Ty -- and did a lot of what he doesn't help that. He doesn't help that the government it's him where they're coming up -- it would ever yea because this could be my last game ever this could be Iowa and and I know people -- some crazy. You know you stated what Bradford but we know you never know I mean I agree that probably going to be about one.

Sometimes you can look at it in the -- what is -- about.

You've got it out you cut out that's what did you hit it -- You've got it -- you go up there to go to a couple minutes that Barbeque given dot.

It you have to I'm looking at the bracket actuary your -- plays out this way but I have a couple of great. Coaching matchup. In the west -- ball. John Calipari. Versus. Jim Calhoun. The only right the right to go to the final four and these guys hate each other I mean it is but it is that not a great matchup there.

But but he's obviously got to operate got a lot of where where you know whoever but you know what we did a lot of guys that stick out it doesn't get along with what it is one of the bet it is. It would be an out -- who. War out there because both go to these were up there it'd. Believing that -- like the ultimate enemy.

They have they have possibly why do. UConn versus global in the final four -- do you see it that way as well.

But you can't wait for I think you wait on him but yeah I know. Let learn -- and what you will mark waited and I don't war. Yeah yeah yeah -- I wake in the final four.

Okay wait if they'd get -- coterie of year they competed and bought. Now they gotta be Cleveland State -- but what that -- more here that we can't -- little bit and they can be -- Underneath the temporary.

I do I do I do know how does that you know what would you set it. -- what did you just say it out there by yourself I don't want to jump in I wanted those words to actor also maybe you can take them back a little bit.

About it and about I think we didn't get -- a -- beat Louisville they opted guard to be they got yep he in his -- that you got that can handle Lugo. You know their part you're it's whether they can make got -- resolved when removal drop back in result. That's the he would he would get he can make there's got to be aggressive. What you what goes there. Again very young team it -- there it and they really didn't bite back earlier in the year but I think if they get a little bit more help what the than anything. In the entire target. It has worked out if 40% the lottery pick on at this. Yeah one of them that they come out this year -- commuter department. Yep it and gave up -- help in any -- up.

Let's talk local for a minute Boston College plays USC in their first round match up. How do you see that playing out and can Boston College move at least the game further into this tournament.

Every category code it would -- what they do I mean -- pretty underrated or at the code is concerned he's certainly got more talent. They're not know we need. But they're finally on that help be it. And not get David give department DiMarco road then I mean the actual talent. He's our -- realize that I'm up to keep doing it -- but it 65. Point guard not overly quick but great but that we've played a lot of their city and and you got not yet been up bought out what it all. -- Daughter did and whoever helped out -- are -- got -- you know. This may cure it doesn't erupt but that won't go either way I mean what no one gimmicky keep that this. And stop the Soviet dissident it would can do it yet but -- like that it's -- laws. You know appropriate it is looking -- he showed up there -- people -- just about anybody. It it doesn't there they're very the state.

Now I have Boston College doing amazing things in the tournament and.

And they had this thing I'm thinking about what I'm victor -- mean Michael.

tell you what it means I've -- Boston College beating -- your boy Tim Floyd USC. Then I have Boston College. Upsetting Michigan State's. Because I it's you've seen a lot of Big Ten basketball. I'm not convinced that MBA in Michigan State not only did they dominate the Big Ten. They have some impressive nonconference wins this year over Kansas and over Texas and Oklahoma State but. I think they can be exposed if BC he keep them out of the paint that's a big get. But they if they forced him to become perimeter shooters BC went to his game.

You're right it is the -- about the because this this -- well -- in they'd better not let that one Big Ten team that much better when they get up and down. Base and beat it could well. I find out what did that it became got to be very competitive there.

Okay that I got Biggio for Kansas. Up up up.

You know I -- I -- what I believe because got a better target there is the leader if you if you -- you'd pick it up not in this believer I think bill self. I've gotten more out of this team that you could possibly imagine when you look at it it just didn't. Other -- followed it and call altered. Avid -- the average player. I agree I agree they're got and not your typical of the.

Obviously I think they got a three seed for a couple reasons one as you meant to bill self with a terrific coach you want it to the when the national championship last year so I think. They get a lot on on credit on on street cred -- and reputation on that.

remembered it -- a lot here map so we have here at all basically.

That's hard to believe because UMass not a good thing.

Oh that's -- still. But that it -- up college basketball this year talk that the the difference between. A lot of the -- these especially start in the -- why we gave it -- Missouri. With Villanova which category a year or what they have what would probably not have wanted to be -- Barack there. It would appear in the under he -- he'll beat the big -- are. I do all capable then.

Jeff at the end of these first 32 games the first round is over. What are we going to look back on as the biggest upset of the first round. Or written it yet. I kept them losing to -- I've got them because I I think they're spent.

Yeah I thought it it's that bad if that is the way remember the last through thought they would would be instantly became a lot the first round of the bought and -- And and I'm like how hard is we've got it wasn't that he'll army. He's -- there did it to me if you're not a thought you'd thought about what then you want to do it. You've got a lot done what disputed that yet but what -- Eric even bought them all out of art through all be. What doubles player. It.

Hey Jeff Derek Kellogg told us we we spoke with him earlier this week. That he loves Arizona he feels like they have to NBA players on the roster and they might be able to do some things and that's had a conventional opinion what do you think.

I went there -- Michael. And you can beat -- sport but what. So the -- really care what they do -- really good part USB gotten Jordan Hill he's spotting your. A good point guard in the squad and then ought to play -- part of what made your division won't quite. So big if if all -- not -- collecting and everybody else ought to go all. They did they could be a lot of teams but in and I think they'll be used up but wait what -- that I just -- speed -- the way.

So glad I didn't take his advice. I promised all week I was going to take his advising in willow looked Arizona. But then I fell in love with Xavier.

Well he didn't know if you lose you're out -- here. That's right.

Jeff we really appreciate you taking a few minutes and break in this thing down if you go to foxsports.com. Jeff has picked every single game. From today through the final four he's got his national champion there you go up against him and see if if you're better at this than he has. Michael thinks he has been enough now to know.

Hey you know what god Jeff I got one more question -- it has -- to a college basketball -- You see Rajon Rondo -- my -- let.

I did not do your job not a lot but I bit the body -- didn't -- that is beyond.

It was great job and he was great I'm telling the guy I know I don't think you'll ever be an elite point guard when he's on his way. It's okay you know this you. And need -- regular. You don't you don't pay was Jason Kidd and only point guard in his day.

It was bad you'll be all right it's not about what he's gotten about one.

But I don't think Rajon Rondo special.

You hear the different -- wanted to but it didn't it was a terrific leader is that I don't think -- Ever going to be a terrifically.

Q he's maybe just what 223 years old. If the baby come out.

But again I could be wrong all my opinion I -- know they've brought to ever be you know lead all debated pop. Five in the NBA -- top spot.

Right okay so little of the five best right now my best point guards in the league right now.

Well I mean today you're you're talking obviously Deron Williams Chris. All. -- Act you know blew out.

I don't match. Have you seen it Rajon Rondo has done a match this season. He -- opponent.

Art I think that yet -- now I I think you are quote is going to be that okay but. These non. No not it's not today again it's not a great group right now India. But I I I still don't be laundered the that top spot dot. All the time in the NBA's board -- or not but it don't.

I will say this the improvement he shown from last year to this year. Leads me to believe that that the upside is still out there for this guy.

You want you work. So much better it -- days like they've given -- you know or or Kentucky he's improved dramatically. But the bottom bottom bother you gotta be hit that dot not think about in a -- it made it. That in order you can make it happen. Then maybe you're talking about a guy who can't really point the.

Jeff we appreciate time as always thank you. Okay Jeff take your man that is Jeff Goodman foxsports.com. WEEI dot com. -- you can read his stuff on our website of course from fox website and he's got his whole bracket there all the way through.
