" But we're talking about you know we're talking earlier. About basketball about college basketball. And and this weekend now BC had a game against Virginia. They got down eight at halftime they made it interesting Tyrese Rice and then. They lost and that was -- now IPC -- how much more interest in wicket. Much more interest in weekend because you have yet to -- drowning here. A one track you got Rick pitino returning to Providence and that's always. On the train you've got Providence 2000 neighbors and losing a game at home and the jobs of Tim wells coming in the --"

" They've lost six of the last. And they got -- tonight it's all sorts on the but the loss so don't listen he really derail that a big hit no you. You know you have prior and I don't like."

" I don't know I don't know our our man on the line here came back in Providence I don't I don't know apartment came back sees this as a lost Kevin was --"

" Michael Ali -- I meant."

" Well joining us for the lightning round that you heard the lightening round to every time we have the lightning round we have people. Call and and here you are anyway you heard us talking about Protestants and wells first laws that are registering of the weekend. Your story bill Reynolds story both you guys seem to think that this could be the final season -- ten miles."

" Well -- when you left out contract next year so obviously -- out by now but this is not he's in the apartment. Expected at one key injury that much right or point guard started at all but even with that and only excellent book that they like make the Big East at about panic. And so I think Tim -- and it. Note to score they have in the Big East tournament before and hoped so that's why they -- Georgetown today and it rolled right."

" Yeah -- you know what. Phil Burton says no chance yeah he's got to tell me about an L right -- I'm curious that doesn't deserve another year you know because all the colts that's one. Eleven conference games twice so I -- more time."

" Well I think at this point until. It's kind of what I don't completely and they had been in time since 2004 that's a long time in this stage. It'll make the Big East -- that -- two out of three years and that's really tough to trot when the Big East set up that. Conference start with it'll take about a fourteen that's called coach killer -- clean lies -- in. -- did an excellent."

" How people respond to Tino when he came back command is their love for him. At Providence because of what he did in 1987 or is there are little disdain because he left them after signing your contract and -- the next."

" It's overwhelming love and appreciation that really is Kelly. I think in 1987. As typical Rick -- no slight problem or anybody at 12 o'clock he says -- about it. Had a contract and at 2 o'clock it is my dream to -- the -- it'll burn that it but kind those goals and we -- product out -- And I think that profit at that and I'm proud not been back to final war. Since then and they know how hard it is just get into the tournament so again over time they actually had a big. Anniversary dinner for it last summer here. Sellout crowd out of people's -- big deal and between it was only by very pleasantly surprised that he says when he goes back to Kentucky. They've ruled that most of that and he was appropriate final -- respect the product is only if the two years. And he's he's very much expect I think the Celtic issue really doesn't carry it all."

" I was gonna say is just it's my ignorance the I was thinking that it would carry over. And that he wouldn't want to come back to New England he has been back to Providence no problem he just -- Probably has a problem coming back to Boston."

" I don't think even though we played college ball with al era I don't think will be scheduling and that -- keeping up with any."

" I'll I'll they'll it would be great I'll have an open great will be so much -- it's -- to go back to walls for just the minute you know he said that. They have been the final four years and -- is this all problem horses apiece the problem to the worst located I mean look at it yet. Players going to Providence College since those going to be tough for them to compete in the Big East and in the space Morton the other top player they don't want to go to Georgetown."

" Of course it's a difficult spot is no two ways about it well spent ten years he's been -- twice about the final four. That was fluke and 87 should be thanking. You're in or out is always looked in the I don't think products and or a final fours but it like he -- and then and hey. You know once every 34 years and Connecticut Sharaud Curry on this and the Helton -- leading returning scorer point guard. They've played without point guard really all season long and actually had strung them. At some close games that if -- gone the other way at noted. The big one at Syracuse get those games you know little roll. And they're in the -- but right now than not it. That's unacceptable certainly to the fans here will find out if it's accessible to administration but the rumblings and not do it for a -- come back. Especially in these -- this year."

" Well I was discussing on SAT on the way out has that gotten ugly and it's it has gotten ugly mood of the fans one with -- for. It."

" You know I -- there's no. Like like you would think that there isn't some situations I think after ten years they just want someone else. And they convinced that someone elsewhere that someone is could could get it done and turn things in proper direction. I don't think anyone here think the province can be in the top 45 in the Big East and a consistent basis I think that's a clean. But in the Big East is so deep and so strong that if you -- from six to 96 to ten you're in the tournament a you're on the bubble every year. And I think that's a more realistic situation. And if it's not well it's going to be somebody else who they think that you know get them."

" Well came back thanks for joining us during the lightly around. You're always welcome."

" at least not big time -- hey you know we have two top ten team going off in about three -- because down in that you are right figures in I don't know that the polls come out -- to David I think it is going to crack up and boy is certainly in the cup and so good double header in -- down."

" Are this that this is -- day made for Ted surrenders I can't imagine haren."

" my guess is he'll be an out of one of those games."

" habitually that you will sell La -- Kevin thanks for the time over an opportunity America because Kevin MacNamara from the Providence journal"
