All right, here we go. It is Monday live in Chicago , where I watched in person live and in living color Michigan thump Tennessee. Went home and watched like the rest of you . Duke blow a huge lead and lose to a team that is always magical and march Yukon . Wherever you may be, however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. Dusty May, the Michigan coach, is going to show up uh in forty-five minutes from now. Uh Duke is an academic powerhouse, but man, they played some dumb basketball. First of all, they jumped out to a huge lead. Terrace Reed for UConn, an old school big, was essentially the entire Yukon offense in the first half. It was Terrace Reid against Duke. And he was holding the fort down, but Yukon couldn't hit shots. They shot 9%, one for 11 on threes in the first half, and Cameron Boozer aggressively took it right to Yukon . Fourteen points in the first half. He was the best player along with Reed at Yukon on the floor. Yukon 's great in March, but they looked overmatched. They needed somebody else to help them offensively. Duke leads by fifteen at half. And honestly, you're thinking if if UConn doesn't start with dynamically, the game is over. But Dan Hurley's teams, very good in the second half. They are physical. They wear you down . Fatigue sets in. You start making mistakes. The boozer kids combined had seven in the second half. And that's where Dan Hurley's intensity comes through. John Shire is a great scheme coach and a great recruiter. In-game coaching could use some work. They got tentative. Duke got sloppy. They got tight. It jumped through the television. Duke went from a dream wedding to America's funniest home videos. The bride's hair was on fire and the wedding cake got knocked over. And everybody was lost. You could see it on television. Duke looked lost and tired. And listen, great coaching is more than just drawn up plays and recruiting. It is when you've got a young team and dukes players are five-star guys. There's a lot of one and done guys. Where's the coaching in chaos? Call a timeout. You don't have to get the ball over half court. Sit on it. I'm looking for coaching there. I again I Shire is a great recruiter, but you got to call a timeout. You got to help the k id. So uh, because I mean that's let's let's be honest here, it's not a seven-game series. Old NBA guys get a seven-game series, not the way it works in college, it's a lot of 18-year-olds and you know the great Chris Weber. We have great players making mistakes. Of course they do, they're kids. So UConn's best players are older, Dukes are younger, and that was very clear in the second half of that game. And here's the Duke coach after . More disappointed and and feeling for our guys. You know, just trying to process what happened. I don't have the words . I don't have the words. It's easy to look at that play. You know, I look at every play that happened, especially in that second half. This is not about one play. It's about every play to put us in that position. And uh So I felt Duke was a really talented team, but when you recruit these great five-star players, they need guidance. They need guidance in those spots. I mean, you got you got some UConn guys, they've been around through titles. They could have left So Hurley, UConn's an easier team to coach. You've got guys that know the system. They've been around. I mean, they're passing on that final shot. These guys have been around a long time, the call The culture is set. You know, Duke is still in that guidance stretch of their basketball career. I feel terrible for Duke, but I'll be honest with you. You were thinking what I was thinking. Shire is young. Wouldach Co Kay's team have lost that game? Maybe it's maybe it's unfair, but you kind of wonder, because it feels like, and this is all credit to Yukon, that is a great coach and a great program as a little part of that that, felt like Duke lost it as much as UConn won it. Okay, so I went, I wanted to watch Michigan play. Michigan checks all the boxes. They've got old guys, young guys, the hottest coach in the market the last two years. Um they've got scores, they've got size, they've got the defensive player of the year, and I went and watched them in person, and they do everything well. I mean, the one thing that's clear in college basketball these days, size is about seventy percent of it. And you have to collapse on Mara and Landenberg, and therefore they're wide open on the perimeter. They they're shooting forty five percent in the tournament on threes. That's like NBA, high-end NBA shooting. And I don't think I've ever seen a college team in the half-court set pass like that. I mean, again, they buy into the culture. They hit the threes. And Marr is an interesting player. He's a seven three Spaniard. He was at UCLA for two years. And when he was at UCLA, he wasn't a score. He was a big, strong kid filling out his body. Now he can score and defend And so he's kind of an offensive hub. Uh you can you can run the offense through him, drop it to him, you double, he kicks it out. Landenberg 6'9, 240, runs the court, can hit a three, but he's too big and strong, he's twenty three years old. And you know, remember a couple weeks ago when Bam at a Bayou scored eighty three points and I said, Well, the team he played the Wizards had nineteen and twenty year old guys. They're just not strong enough to defend Bam at a Bayou who's been in the league for ten ye ars. It's the same thing with Landenboard. He has been around a long time. He can drive and finish. He can shoot. I mean, uh Mara, I I I just don't know little Zach Edy there. I don't know how you beat these guys. Arizona's next, and Arizona. I mean, Michigan went on a 21-0 run against an excellent Tennessee team. That is insane . And Arizona doesn't shoot many threes. Now, they're not great at it. When they shoot them, they can hit them. But I don't know how you beat Michigan playing your standard game. Now, Arizona's got better guard play. Michigan's got better bigs. Uh a lot of this is Dusty May. I mean they they they went to the portal. They got they found the hottest coach in the market. They've got size. They've got a defensive stopper. I guess you could attack their guards, but I I I'm telling you, when you watch Michigan play , uh, you can see the NIL money, you can see the great coaching. Their half-court offense is aesthetically as pretty as a college basketball half-urtco offense can be. They not only lead the tournament in assists, they lead it by a wide margin over Illinois, another excellent passing team, full Euros. So here is Dusty May after. You know, Jay Mack, when you go to a game and I went with uh a friend and we sat upstairs, it was a corporate kind of suite thing, and so I it's like watching hockey from the back end, and you can watch the play develop. I'm telling you the way Michigan passes the ball and swings it around to the open guy, they are so incredibly unselfish. And there's just so many boxes they check. There's so many elements to the offense. I told you I wanted to watch that Michigan, Illinois game late in the year down in Champaign outside of Chicago and Michigan thumped them. And now you got Illinois in the final four. So I mean to they not only I mean to to shoot the percentage, they're shooting on threes with dominant big s. I I you know this is the first time in forever. Both final four games are under a two-point spread. So you can people can criticize the NIL, but what it's done, it's fortified the big dogs where you you can you can recruit a five star guy then you can go get a Landenberg bring him in yeah and boy I think Michigan's tough. Yeah I think you nailed it. That's what Duke is missing, Colin. Michigan has the recipe. You need a mix of old guys, veterans who have 22, 23 year olds, and young stars. Duke playing too many freshmen. I know the foster injury hurt. He shoots 58% free throws. He had a rough game because he was so great against St. John's. Yeah. I just Colin, I I'm I had to wear a bright shirt today to pick up my energy. Uh we had him in the Calcutta. I I'm devastated. Colin, last year's loss to Houston. Remember that meltdown? Yeah. Again, young guys, Con Kanipple, Cooper Flag. Yep. Just melted down against old guys from Houston. And and Sunday, I I'm still in shock. I mean, my kids thought like like they were watching me. You know, usually I'm excited and stuff. Yeah I was in stunned silence for like 30 seconds. I I can't believe it. I could not believe it. Well you know it it's uh you con and Duke is and that's the thing about the NIL, you you gotta be smart about it. So con Knippel and uh uh a Cooper Flag are great, but eighteen is eighteen. You could watch Duke on television melting and they just didn't have a twenty-three year old. And that's and and and and for the record that, is the magic of Michigan and the magic of Yukon, where you can get a four and five star guy, but you got caravan who's been around the program forever. You know, you go to a timeout, you got two coaches, you got Hurley, and then as you walk to the floor, you've got you the guy that's been there for five years, he's putting his arm around the guys. He's like a secondary coach. So I I just think though their last play, I felt so bad for Caden Boozer. It's like you know, if he is a junior, he calls a timeout or he doesn't Well listen, John Shire could have easily they had two timeouts, Colin. Shire could have just hey, give me a time he's right next to the referee. And two guys wide open down court. You just throw a grenade in the air. You don't need to like make a precise pass, just chuck it. Connecticut had nobody on the other side of the court. It is one of the most mystifying endgame moments. I mean, Colin, I could not watch the replay for a few hours last night. I was i I was just destitute. I was like, how did this happen? I mean, it was uh unbelievable. Uh you know, I'm sitting there um I I was watching, there was a Cubs game on uh in the suite I was in. I'm watching Michigan play Tennessee and Michigan, obviously. You can drive from Ann Arbor to Chicago. So it was a heavily Michigan crowd watching Big Ten basketball and and then I'm I'm I'm uh Big Ten Basketball Powerhouse Michigan. And then you know what's great? Sometimes whenever you make a big change in sports or life, there's an unintended benefit . And Rob Manfred, the baseball commissioner, I don't think they had any idea that the ABS system was going to become a game show, and we'll talk about that. It's the her d live in Chicago .

Rob Manfred is baseball's commissioner, and I hope Adam Silver has been watching because there's so many things about the NBA where they need little tweaks and they're just obsessed with tanking. And it's like, no, there's a lot of tweaks that fans would really like, and we could get to that later. But Manfred's made six or seven moves, a couple of them big swings, and this is one of them. It's called ABS. And so, you know, it's a ball and strike system where they can go quickly to technology and see if the umpire got it right. So the first thing is you're not picking on umpires. They get over half right, and even when they miss, it's close. But the unintended benefit of this is that it's become like a game show with a reveal on a live studio audience. What's behind door number three on ABS? Survey says so the fans are playing along. It also illustrates how great batters are because to hit a ninety-six mile an hour splitter is one thing, but these batters are are they know millimeters around the plate. Um and again the umpires get about half right and about half wrong. Now one umpire, C B uh C.B. Buckner, uh did not have a good he did not have a good weekend. But here's an example of how it's playing out. It's the unintended benefit. There's often unintended consequences of new legislation or new business. Here's the unintended benefit. Listen to the crowd during a Reds game, the battery Suarez. Listen to the crowd play along and watch how fast the reveal is got a look at challenge immediate tap of the helmet the reds runners all hold that is challenging the pitch . ABS powered by T Mobile on top of the zone. They continues . Now the 2-2 called strike three tap the helmet again he says it's off the played away that there's challenge in the face here we go Outs ide the loudest cheers of the game, the Reds of it two homers come on back-to-back challeng And we didn't have to do editing there. So listen, baseball's always been strateg ic, but it was more like chess. It was plotting. Now it's like speed chess. And I I've said this for years. I know if you're retired and you've got nothing to do all day, you don't mind a three and a half hour game. Strat egy and drama are better efficiently. Baseball is so much more watchable, and a lot of it's the pitch clock, and these kind of tweaks are just adding you're not taking to any strategy away. And I think you're adding a dramatic game show feel to it . And listen, there's so much money in sports now. You gotta get the call right. And um, and I don't think it's picking on the umpires. I think half the time they're right, half the time they miss. And it's always by I mean that that second one , that was a big miss, which felt pretty obvious for you know a viewer, but I I I think it's unbelievable. I and you know, because you know when Tennessee's getting beat by Michigan. You know, Tennessee fans are all the refs. It's like Michigan would have beaten Tennessee 12 out of 12 times. It's not close. But in, you know, in baseball, you don't want the home plate umpire uh Uh changing outcomes and in baseball it's so situational in the postseason that you know one at bat one awful ball and strike call changes outcomes. So I just like how fast it is. It just works really quickly. The pitcher, the batter, the catcher, you gotta you gotta tap your helmet and you gotta go quick. They're not I mean they baseball between the pitch clock and this has put a time on it. Like speed it up, guys. And everybody's like, Oh , I don't know, guys got habits. Yeah. Get new ones. And they've worked and it's great. And J Mack with the news. No, no, no, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the Herdline News. All right, let's start in the NBA. Jalen Brown sat out last night for the Celtics. He's missed a couple games, but it didn't matter. Boston got the dub anyway. They're 50th of the season. Jason Tatum dropped 32. And uh Jalen Brown had some fun after the win over the uh over Charlotte, saying 50 wins in a gap year. Obviously, poking fun at everybody , including you and me. Nobody thought Boston would sniff 50 wins, Colin. Peyton Pritchard had 28 Boston 12 straight seasons going to the playoffs. Now, uh a lot of people are off Detroit right now because Kid Cunningham's hurt. Right. The Knicks, I I don't really want to talk about them. I hope they're not in the show. Uh they are on the struggle bus. And then you got like the Sixers getting getting healthy with Paul George's back from suspension . I I d I is Boston like the default leader to come out of the East? Oh, I th I don't even I don't even think it's close. Atlanta Hawks? I I don't what are we doing like? No, I mean they uh like Michigan basketball, they check the boxes. They've got the coach, they've got now set culture, they've got two go to guys who are now veterans, they've got a one guy Peyton Pritchard could come off the bench and be just a killer for 'em. Uh they've got size. They were getting old. Between Porzingis and Horford, they had size, but they were getting old. Now they're younger with their bigs. And Brad Stevens, they draft well. I I think they're , you know, it's I just don't think the Knicks haven't matched up all year with Detroit. Detroit's more physical. Knicks can be a little pretty at times, a little finesse. So I think Boston can play physical. They can play pretty. They can play up tempo . You know, they live on threes, and when they're hitting them, it's lights out. Yeah. By the way, um, it seems like Joe Mazzula's probably gonna win Coach of the Year. I remember when your buddy Boston Bill came on the show and was kept calling him second row Joe and making fun of Joe M ozilla not ready for Joe Mizzulla has been amazing coming. Yeah. He I mean he has just been incredible with this. You you have a right in life to learn on the job. I tell people this all the time is that, you know Joe Mazzula first year was learning on the job, but obviously Brad Stevens saw something in him. I mean, B Bradrad Stevens is one of the smartest guys in the league. Do you think he'd hand the keys over to a a dim guy who couldn't grow? Sometimes you're just quite not quite ready for the moment. You know, by the end of by the beginning of year two, Joe Mazzo had established himself. The players liked him. Uh I think Boston's really good. Yeah, it's almost like uh a parallel there. Is John Shire ready for the Duke job? Is he too young? He's kind of got bodied in a lot of close games, a lot of big leads blown by John Shire. All right, let's go to the NFL with Josh Allen. Some news. Uh obviously, battled through an injury last season, had the broken bone in his foot. Uh he had surgery to repair the bone this offseason and Joe Brady says he's good to go. It will not hamper Josh Allen's status for uh OTAs . Now, Brady added that Allen could barely walk with the injury, but he was able to play through it. I I that doesn't really compute in my head, but this kind of is more fodder for listen man is that Buffalo window closed, Colin. We know the AFC is gonna be stacked next year. Well, you know, Cam Big Ben aged very quickly. Because when you're as big as Josh is, you're gonna hang in the pocket more. You're gonna, you're I mean you you let's be honest. Even in the NFL, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, guys like that, they're 6'5 and a half. They're 245, corners and linebackers can struggle with them. So the downside to size is sometimes you feel you're kind of bulletproof. Well, this is what happens. You can only take so many hits. Regard- I mean, Big Ben aged fast, Cam overnight aged . Cam took toe many shots head on and didn't slide. So, I mean, my take on this stuff is, yeah, this is what we've talked about. You probably have three more A plus plus years by Josh, and then you're gonna feel like it's a minus that he's not qu ite willing to just scramble. So and by the way, he's probably he has probably six great years left, but I I do wonder , you know, Dak Prescott aged really fast, lower body injuries, and and and Dak's big. And he doesn't move like he used to. So we've seen Lamar breakdown uh, Pat,rick Mahomes coming off a major injury. I Allen has been, you know, I don't I don't know how many games he's missed over the last five. It's not many, maybe zero. But essentially, he's hitting that 30 wall. And Colin, he's taken a lot of hits over the years. Remember, late in the season, they just turn on, hey, Josh Allen runs 12 times a game because we need wins. I don't know, man. I it listen, it's March. I'm not going to bury the Buffalo Bills, but follow it away for the offseason. Uh final story, Colin. Let's go to the Philadelphia Eagles. Howie Roseman. A lot of rumors about AJ Brown. Well, how he met the media and said, I understand that there's a lot of interest in the AJ Bro wn story. I unfortunately don't have a home under a rock. Uh, whatever that means. But my answer to any question on AJ Brown is AJ Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, which to me is not a total I'm not trading him. And remember that June 1 date is coming up rapidly. Yeah, I've been wrong on this. Um I think that's what you say. So you never appear desperate. So if somebody calls for him, you're like, oh, we love him. We think he's great. First rounder, two first rounders. If you start, if you start showing signs of uh distrust or unhappiness, well then you give away leverage and negotiation. I've been saying it for two years. This is a run first team. I think AJ with the right quarterback. many touchdowns did he have last year. Like it's just, I mean, I I I don't think it's a good fit, but you know, they keep winning the division. Well, I mean, Devontae Adams is a model soldier. Uh he's a professional athlete. Um AJ Brown is a professional instigator. I mean he's reading books on the sideline. So people can talk about him. He seems to get into it often. We'll see. I think he gets shipped, but. J Mac will the news . Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The herdline news. So there was uh Dusty Mae, Michigan coach, joining us in 10 minutes, 12 minutes. Uh Dan Hurley, great coach, UConn, had a tweet yesterday. Basketball capital of the World Stores Con,necticut, and his screaming and his intensity, you know, gets it gets a lot of play. For the record, he mostly screams at officials. Very rarely does he scream at his kids. But here's the thing about sports. Successful people, especially in sports, they're intense. Brady and MJ and Peyton Manning and Sean Payton and Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel and Colby. They're first in the building guys. I mean they are first in the building guys. And Dan Hurley, uh he, goes after officials. And I, you know, listen, man, lause fair may be great for substitute teachers and babysitters, but you get into pro sports and college sports at the highest level, you know, capitalism , you need urgency and you need intensity. And I mean, did anybody see the video this weekend of Mike Vrabel, New England Patriot head coach, former NFL guy, working out a potential first round offensive tackle? And Mike Vrabel is literally sizing him up and you know it I mean it's hand to hand combat. So playing and coaching at the highest levels, there's Mike, it's just not for everybody. It's not for the meek and the passive. Uh it and so all the fruit gets bruised in in major college sports and in pro sports. And I mean it it's is anybody surprised that a coach known for his intensity, Dan Hurley, is the coach of a team that comes back from a 15 point deficit to maybe the best college basketball program. Duke. Is anybody surprised that it's that team? It's that kind of personality, that fight to the end, back alley, be he coaches it, players feed off it, and you're gonna find a lot of times with these coaches that are intense, their teams have a certain grit and toughness. And I mean that's that's what makes Michigan good is they can play pretty and they can play physical. Duke is young and it's pretty, but in that second half, I mean they were a b Duke was against the ropes. Duke was taking way too many shots and um passive just does not build powerhouses. Here's Hurley on his coaching style and the comeback . We run a very intense program. Uh you know, we're we're we're on these guys. We put them, we stress them uh in pr in practice, we uh we put a lot of pressure on them on a daily basis uh uh to do the right things, to stay in a game like that where you're getting outplayed, um you're having a really bad shooting night at the absolute worst time. Uh but what kicks in at that point is is just a a bunch of strong men, a strong team, players that let their coaches coach 'em hard and uh and prepare them. Shots. They were getting looks. They couldn't hit him. And Hurley, he wasn't passive. He was almost pensive. He was just kind of looking at it, thinking, if we get a couple of these to drop, I got older players. They got younger players. We got to put the heat on them. And then you saw Duke start to make really bad turnovers. I mean, the Boozer kids are smart kids. Great dad, NBA dad, but they had seven turnovers. And um and Shire's young. So Hurley has been through so many battles. This Yukon program is just, you know, there's certain things we talk about this in the NFL that play. Like the Miami Dolphins when they had Jalen Waddell and Tyreek Hill and Tua , they look great in great weather. You put them in cold weather, they're not built for January in the AFC. What Duke does, the Duke is pretty and they're efficient and they're talente d and they're young and that that can kind of blow you away in the first half. I mean you can prepare for Duke and they are so skilled and so talented and they've got depth. But what really plays in college basketball is what plays in the NFL when the weather gets bad and it's tough and physical because you're playing these games without a lot of prep time. And you it really felt to me like Duke fatigue set in. You know, the old saying fatigue makes cowards of us all. Like Duke looked like beaten down, tired, and and it's it's amazing how often UConn has a second and third gear in the later stages of these games. Like like I I I I honestly thought at halftime, I'm like , this game's got about five minutes. If Duke, if if UConn doesn't start chipping away on this thing, it's over fast, and you could just see hurley in the toughness and the culture. You know, there's studies shown that tough coach ing and tough parents , that's they it's built to help you later in life with adversity. And I mean a lot of these Yukon guys could transfer, they could leave and they don't. The good ones don't. They only leave if they get it to be a lottery pick. All right, Dusty May, the coach of Michigan, boy, is that a work of art, that offense. Wow. He's around the corner.
