[0:00]" Back addiction and sports -- guys he bought these in house alone with the ball row beat jeopardy for Tobago -- back. On Wednesday people for you introduce Kevin -- and it's it's and may not be fully participatory in this upcoming interview. It is going to be very busy -- keeping -- finishing my delicious corn beef and cabbage meal provided by a good friend the green -- Irish problem watched in street right. It's going to be -- and I want you to know that all -- listed -- hypocrites and I'm living amongst -- right now. Because you all may want to corn beef and cabbage except two every all the men -- around and lead -- money is Devoe last like twenty I don't like the note that went oh I know. And it. I wasn't keeping scored to throw line here you're on the line once -- to write about it at certain temperature and I want to know that it might -- by that I predicted that would be. It says that they -- they would it would -- absolutely all right they haven't America Cabrera says what -- Thursday cabinet V chip a -- role as the occupant -- them from the pro -- I don't well."

[1:11]" Now -- that I'm just not because the saint Patrick's day which obviously only gave up."

[1:16]" Absolutely whether the MacNamara in the Murray's dog gets together and have they speak boiled dinner at saint Patrick's day."

[1:21]" I am with my. Of three brothers and sisters and about 630 to ninety guys make me real --"

[1:26]" There yet I thought it was humid with -- tell these prima Donna from Massachusetts subjects they -- as a Rhode Island."

[1:32]" It's big it's big -- and -- it I think petty."

[1:35]" I agree I agree but it's a lot bigger run at Kevin before we start I repeat as some of the questions about Providence College basketball. Once if you think Tim -- to dignify with a hell of a code is going to be coaching change coming out -- the idea is Gerry has apologized Saturday I was watching the Bruins and I had them to the rest of united NC television Sunday get my herald and it was not in at least that -- but in the transactions which I glanced over -- going to approach or dot com today. And I that's right usually read Providence journal. And there was nothing about it god I mean from top the bottom I'm not going to I didn't put on the friars thing but. Usually cadets WRI stories and that's the most of -- and it didn't happen yet. It on the home with today but how did you know it's something I think that debts if you if you while province colleges is not a surprise at all about him."

[2:24]" He had no he didn't go as -- you what did she was with just one year left in his contract that he had to give an extension. -- had a fire and it's tough to give someone an extension when they've had to be in the season for so."

[2:38]" It was a fair job considering the injuries they had especially -- that they -- within a man with everybody coming back next year wasn't fair."

[2:46]" Well sports -- fair you know you get to ten years and get a lot of injuries. Over the course of the -- years but when push comes to -- they get paid a lot of money to win they weren't winning and -- very restless has been more bullying at -- preteen years there's been globally in the building this year than ever before. You know at some point -- crushed a little bit past was not happy."

[3:10]" Now and I you know I understand and I've been in that building maintenance myself since since the seventies it's it's almost like a pro. Unfortunately for the kids it's like a -- atmosphere and and and I hate to -- college kids at all because it's -- just such a -- guy he -- way -- because sports I am I mean it's I think it's tough to -- about what I -- given that you have been a -- and -- Europe and that I'd -- now I don't know I haven't -- that -- different an -- that but anyone of those guys blowing reminds cafeteria -- and thought I'd be upset by some of the an -- province this year especially given the team to live and die by the three point -- explicitly."

[3:46]" Well it's awful tough to play without a point guard and Welch and trying treat for different guys at the point and when he finally settled on one at at the end of the year. It was is that big guy just the term so best big guy and just being your best point guard you know you. At least bullet and destabilizing you know they had some good wins they'd be UConn twice and you know I've played I'm sorry keep --"

[4:07]" Shot at you the Iran Iraq what sixteenth to beat them."

[4:09]" Arkansas they'd be -- We certainly good temple -- lot lot in Boston College but. Not enough simple as that against a tough business and fifteen and sixteen. Means -- trouble."

[4:21]" So when they goat came back was. The short."

[4:25]" Well it's interesting because they're athletic director is really hot. Hockey player hockey coach."

[4:30]" That it worked out well we can either. You know on -- but I understand Boston College look pretty good while I think lacked the Marlins would it."

[4:40]" So I I think. Even though he knows if he wants the young aggressive guy on the way up with. -- and head coach just a couple years. Or he wants to -- likely Jim Larranaga who is any problem obviously as George Mason tournament now final four years ago. I would go for option -- beat the not the ED I."

[5:01]" I would agree with you Kevin and I would go I I like the young guy on the way up rather than the established guy you know even if he's an -- like like Larranaga and I think Larranaga is terrific coach I would say I was down at Richmond two weeks ago. For the CAA tournament and there was a lot of Larranaga Providence --"

[5:18]" Yeah and -- if you brought -- creative guy and won at least keep it. Travel coach you know."

[5:25]" He's Tony LSU while near the Georgia guy may say -- job Newman's journalists cited."

[5:29]" I don't know LSU -- Carolina and south Carolina's peach tree and dwell on an easy start otherwise he's probably the best young minority coach country. Obviously property -- it would it would be -- but it's a phone call and make sure because he's he's going to be very can."

[5:45]" Great reputation he's got and we you know I talked about through the you know the someone improvements that Dunkin' Donuts center in cape province and examined by a man Kevin and now it's just doesn't or form and it's going to be tough to recruit with that building there I'm sorry legislated it's a very -- and province on the always it's a tough place to coach."

[6:03]" Yet it is the -- not done yet and you know. Tim Welch had a lot of things work against them the one -- but the two. He put an awful lot of work to get to Dunkin' Donuts and running again and continued to the three year -- I I think it would -- that she regained which I'm sure -- they promised certain spring you'll be it would -- I hit the hopefully knock on wood. You'll -- while. Now I know the 8080 -- what was funny at -- this year for political gain any sit too well chat to a decent. Will they spend sixty billion -- I don't notice anything."

[6:41]" I -- I was dominant when we went harassment I was I was done it once this year Kevin and I -- they mean where is it a little luxury boxes -- trying to -- by. -- gong to do enough commitments that they can draw the NCAA east at least Theo regionals are back province what 2010."

[6:57]" question date -- deal every every seat is being torn out in this offseason so I needed that that's what to cut the deals with the elimination of the couple's feet. Place to -- Coke. And -- And at some."

[7:10]" apartment like everybody else."

[7:11]" Yeah bill you know will they will -- eight million dollars is not 300 like in the building but. Hopefully it's attract enough where at least competitive -- it is people -- think he would have just been dumped. Well they Beckett Q in the ball game -- doesn't elevate you at all especially at a place like the Big East where in in decent the premier programs in the country."

[7:33]" Kevin we -- a I guess a spirited discussion -- the instantly term and Paul myself and in. Pete Pete and you're in a court you like it. Mostly yeah it's very wily mileage between them is Kevin it is as a sellout at the way it is like I've saying for the conference tournaments. I think the regular season champ and every one of them should be rewarded by -- what -- the final. We have to have -- distant background and Michael -- this morning. Is putting it out in the tournament is flawed because you've got teams in small conferences that. I remember a few years back central Florida with the 111711 in nineteen when NIC Robertson there in the -- And I."

[8:13]" Did you losses and to me as as as a fan of of March Madness. That's the flaw that makes it so magnificent because it makes the first two rounds. We know these teams are going to win the tournament but the you'd get one of these lowering teams might win a game that to me is what makes that thinks so beautiful. Which shorts that your your college basketball -- to like wade is -- would you tweak."

[8:37]" No I think you're out of -- think correct but I think the best two days sportier really in all honesty there's that Friday. The chance to get a chance to be underdogs in the big upset which doesn't happen often -- happens enough. As everyone glued to their TV section that would have been the right. It delivered to that stage a lot of people -- Saturday and Sunday or just outgrowth of those first two days and I would agree. I what I would do that I would expand turned in by Alex sixteen keen to. That -- guarantee that he can get as Pete said the regular season champions pretty much from every week. Selig is a good example getting doubled to deep -- accurately into eternity they lost to you know George Mason in the -- percent. Just those extra 68 stressful which couple bubble talk which is just crazy. And it does get some deserving teams didn't and stayed at -- is we don't about money but exposed to be about the student athlete give -- chances -- You know it but if it's about the kids and sixteen what -- big deal."

[9:42]" Well obviously it's it's -- to say that drive with my practices when he went through everything analysts and dissect and lastly -- catch up with four ones in the final like did fortunately it last and last year that we -- it's I mean it's hard I have a Memphis usually the presidency in the Allen beat Memphis in the finals of a couple ops that's a long way but nothing. Nothing major I think last year you saw. -- the ball five thing hasn't happened much anymore than what didn't happen -- that didn't happen last year I think I think a couple of -- Angelos that went in the first name but that was -- I think a team like local Pittsburgh you know obviously we know you can call most teams sleepers. But that that's about it -- huge big time upsets rented out west it was one of the rare times inevitable beautiful I was only a third time since that sixteenth seed form yeah."

[10:29]" I I think the country this year is it is about five elite teams that we normally are -- the double and -- you might want to throw you know protection in. I had two guys so Texas probably like."

[10:41]" I'm -- Tennessee had to do."

[10:42]" West Tennessee maybe Tennessee and Texas who would make it to the top 617 to seven to 25 to thirty. From the pack -- it -- at which makes him an extra great turn I don't think so little ones can slip up. Not sold on that guess I think Tennessee exposed -- little bit when when you lose a home court -- yet. The biggest game in history the program I think it shows that you're not a superstar -- very good. Probably just tell party's defeat -- that despite. But then to get to San Antonio I think is second round giving its -- now be a lot of fun they want to run which just like -- this I think. It's very. Isn't exact opposite because they're so good defensively that in trouble. And then Texas down the line just to get to see editorial battling -- will be -- and so it'll be you know beat at home court team there I think that this has a tough wrote Carolina. -- is in the deepest you know regional it's very difficult for them as well -- Carolina has the most talent I think at this as the most pros. And BA little guys a lot of very well. They can be dangerous too -- but southern cal is real sleeper if you get a chance -- Celtic interstate. Later this week that's that's unbelievable game easily the best pro prospect in the country by far. And yet coming to Dallas for NBA guys -- so that's it. Extremely high level first round game."

[12:06]" There's another one of those flaws that I kinda like the way they do what they tell a solid time cabinet they don't you know intentionally match these things out but you see Stanford playing Cornell. And yet that's not an accident and is not an accident at Kansas State is playing USC with -- with the you know probably most highly touted freshmen -- in the last 56 years in mayo and Beasley coming out together. I think that's intentional and I -- I think those kinds of little quirks you know interest."

[12:34]" I'll be able deal under the notices the other. Their ultimate Qaeda sleeper for ten years now social -- brain that please and that helped get Italian. No -- dated tennis like exact or at least can on the east coast they where. But those are two unbelievable coaches battling products -- probably don't want -- no chance to get Mark Cuban Bob Carroll it's a great coach so I think UCLA. As easiest road virtually to play at Anaheim melee and it Phoenix and young and I it took its. Not a duke guy he's feeling it really chew them up."

[13:13]" you what's the what's the Carolina game if you expect. If you've set and yet he didn't use that three times there in this province and I -- guy's he's right they were there really pissed you off that night that the."

[13:24]" Well little and then anybody they'll defend at BC CT tissue where. He just didn't effect as simple as that and."

[13:30]" It was a week ACC really it was a -- RPI was made that effort against -- Yeah I mean it was just the RPI has the ACC ranked at you know one I think for the conference but it's it's based on. Having two power teams duke and Carolina and recently was raised now by Kevin you know you're you're going to -- your -- national chipped chipped a computer. And -- your final four -- at all."

[13:54]" Sure Carolina. Excelling can now take that -- it'll take UCLA and I think -- Chile China went."

[14:02]" Have a -- bracket real quick. You know ideally you'll you'll get a ticket bracket last year I was -- for the final four swing --"

[14:13]" I've always have always a pleasure when you cover any of these games the send you -- and in this stuff."

[14:17]" I am not a Monica church full time -- now. Are candidates to get a message that -- I'm surprised and cities and Coetzer said that you're going to say well what it's -- what's going -- down that path."

[14:32]" That's what 7779 Missouri fifty hated it 525 thirds I really want to pick him like he did in the final four over a decision. -- the and just the deserved his body and so disappointing the last couple years they can't get over that sweet sixteen hop and but. I -- think there's an element of that team that's a little different and might be a little bit and I just -- game that will be a great -- and I think Kevin's right real contract just dial up to and and I think sometimes those teams are adjusting to see. Who can make the other team played the way they want to plane"
