00:00 I haven't seen a guy from the Northeast New York, New Jersey go out to Arizona
00:04 and want to leave quicker than him.
00:06 They'd send me to Bull Gravano once he went out to Arizona to get out of town.
00:11 So listen, when you think about Washington State, really quick,
00:15 Kyle Spitz done an incredible job.
00:17 And think about the fact they've won at Washington, at Oregon State, at Oregon,
00:21 and obviously at Arizona during this winning streak.
00:23 They haven't lost a game since the 20th.
00:25 A crazy 81-75 loss to Kyle.
00:28 Here's the thing, folks.
00:29 They get to fet, right?
00:31 And when you look at a team as a coach, you have one of two options, right?
00:36 Number one, you cut the head off of the snake, right?
00:40 And then you make everybody else try and make shots.
00:44 Or you let the main guy just shoot the ball like crazy, and you lock everybody else up.
00:49 What they did was absolutely masterful last night in regards to the fact they forced
00:54 Caleb Love, who has a propensity to shoot the ball too much.
00:58 Ask Carolina fans about this.
01:01 He shot the ball in the crazy mountain.
01:03 And when you got that monster followed down low, and that guy is getting eight shots?
01:11 For real, he was six for eight.
01:14 How does this guy get only eight shots when he's one of the most effective bigs in the country?
01:19 So Caleb Love shoots 20 shots, 12 from three, way too much.
01:22 They should have pounded the ball inside.
01:24 But that's the part I like about Washington State.
01:27 They find something and they pick at it.
01:30 They've done an incredible job.
01:31 This guy needs to be talked about for coach of the year.
01:33 And yes, they can make a run in the Pac-12 tournament.
01:37 Now listen, USC, UCLA, Washington, before that obviously Arizona State, tomorrow, Pharrell.
01:45 They can run the table here because all the games after tomorrow are at home.
01:50 So imagine they run the table and go to the Pac-12 tournament.
01:53 That team could be looking at possibly, ready for this?
01:55 How about a four or a five seed for Washington State?
