feel like a sports previewing the a_c_c_ tournament with e_s_p_n_'s then showman
dan how are you today
i'm doing great happy to be here in atlanta and excited for ortiz is the
best of all it should be four days ago basketball um...
let's start with north carolina it seems like
they have received at time of criticism
personally i think they have the best chance
from in a cc team
to make a deeper on and internet
um... what is your analysis on a ccd you see them taking the a_c_c_ crowned and
possibly having a number one seed
i would think so i think they're the best team in a league and now that we
know that ryan kelly is an important player for duke is not going to play it
on the stranded because he's got a sprained ankle i think that gives
carolina even better chance
but one thing is that was ron williams is kind of always been up front about it
the ncaa later it is a bigger deal
he wants to win the a_c_c_ tournament
body of push comes to shove
uh... el sayyid out you know that i could have tried their best they're
going to try but they are thinking about
the next step is well as all the big-name programs do so
but but i think they're the best team here i think that got the best chance to
win it if they do when the a_c_c_ tournament i think will be a number one
seed of the unsinkable internment
obviously though it does depend on the likes of michigan state and some other
teams and how it they do in their respective tournaments
um... with how with what cd they could possibly get in the n_c_a_ tournament
uh... i did want to ask you about ryan kelly with handing out how does that
impact to do you
uh... i mean what it what do you think about them without him
i think it hurts them because he's a big guy who can support them with kelly out
the plan we brothers are going to play on the court together allot
and they're both very good players
but kelly's more of an outside gunboat plum leisure morgan side guys so there's
not as much space down there mason has to move a little further away from the
bucket so miles from played down low
i think they're going to need a guy like joe oscars generally gets about six or
eight minutes a game for them
to play some edits and dubai thing or what have to go smaller times without
having ryan kelly in there so easy key player for them he said you know is a of
four men who could stretch the floor issues forty percent from three
he's a very good player and uh... they're like guys who were injured right
now obviously but i think rank elise injury is a very significant
you know we have a florida state alone who is
uh... pretty interested in the best of all program he will be watching the
tournament alive from t like the rebel headquarters let me ask you about them
bailout what chance do you give them obviously everyone has a chance
that's a given but what chance do you give them to win this thing
why i think they're threat i mean as your friend knows they beat north
carolina by thirty three points earlier this season
the also be to acted this year so those are two great wins for floor st who
committed astronomy clearly has the biggest threat
to the north carolina duke supremacy that we've seen for so many years in the
a_c_c_ around the letter head of steam is well-coached they're great
defensively they're very experienced and their deep they've got a lot going for
them the question for them is going to put the ball the basket sometimes they
just have droughts where they can score very well
but i think they're hungry i think they want respect i think they want notoriety
i think they want a tension and i think they want this tournament very badly and
and
uh... they're going to things are going to put a lot of confidence assuming they
whether quarterfinal game they would likely play dugan the semifinal again
they've won at duke this year so i'd flores it's got a shot
let's do a little uh... back-and-forth hypothetical here just a few more
questions for you
uh... if they win their quarterfinal and lose to do what see do you think they
would have
arriving for a state if they win a quarter finalist it'd probably would
be somewhere around five or or succeeds somewhere like that that they've had a
solid season and i mean it's only a matter of that's not it that's not uh...
for debate but island florida state would be in the fiber situation if they
can go deeper into the a_c_c_ tournament
they might be able to get at the size of four
aka one basket dot that as well
um... tell me about the bubble teams i mean miami is certainly on their uh...
virginia arguably can
isley the on that list as well in d_c_ either then getting in and how do you
think they will play out in the time
i think virginia's in right now i mean if you look at the bubble you don't get
we've got two sixty eight teams we were for sixty four sixty five to sixty eight
of the last few years so
the bubbles get a little bit weaker every year i think virginia's done
enough to get him
uh... i think that's it seems that are on the bubble in the struggle to miami
as you mentioned and north carolina state and i'm not sure either one of the
mission right now and i'm not sure when their first round game is enough to get
the men because they're going to be getting a bad team
uh... jet just to get to the quarterfinals north carolina state
has not been a single team this year
that you would expect to qualify for the ncaa late term if they'd be in the bad
teams they have not beaten a good teams and i think they've got to do and i
think they've got to be
boston college today and i think they probably got to be virginia move toward
a final
and i would feel the same about miami i think they might need to win their
quarterfinal game the interesting thing is is that north carolina state has beat
miami twice what miami might have a stronger overall resume
the north carolina state so if it came down to those two teams which one would
go in and and that's why i expect to see both of hurricanes of the wolfpack plan
like there's no tomorrow because for them there may not be as many of the
program no i went indiana university i will always remember n_c_ state being
that first big win
of the year when indiana went into their house and beat them maybe a seasoned
turning
uh... wind you could say even those in the very beginning with the big
tennessee's internet
uh... give me one sleeper pick that you have
in the a_c_c_ yes
uh... eyelids were boy uh...
on semi anti-tank mine in the summary i think they're television
i think they've got a pretty good draw as to succeed they can avoid north
carolina there on the other side of the bracket so
uh... given their their talent and their experience and what their plan for right
now i would say miami city mecca probably scares some people who were a
couple of the answer last question for either and that you know it seems to be
that duke and carolina
will have that bitter rivalry once again in the final of the a_c_c_ tournament
uh... i'd surely think that's what it will be florida state can the can you
know they can easily get into the final
however with duke and carolina it is the marquis match-up that everyone wants to
see do you think that we will see that and who do you have winning the
tournament indian
i think we will see a but again without ryan kelly i think duke is at risk and i
think florida state there the three cdu experts who said they would match of the
semifinals i think for states got out of your money chance of winning that game i
really do
uh... so i'm not sure who were going to see i think carolina will get through
i'd be very surprised if carolina disappear to the final
and regardless of who does having caroline is going to win it but i think
right now they're playing well their confidence is really good i think
they're playing a little tougher than they were earlier in the season they've
shown some finds a determination on some south games
and and found a way to win on the road and so forth so
uh... i think your line of wins this term and i think they got a one c
uh... and then i think you probably wants up with a to see the incidentally
terminal four state betting on how far they get probably somewhere around the
five
very less question for you one that just came to me about kendall marshall
i know that year colleague e_s_p_n_ j bill is headed eight-week that one out
of that was recruited by the masses that appeared to be that kendo martial was
very deserving uh... being a first came to a cc player
and was happily laptop that works
uh... do you have a take on that was the deserving
i think so uh... three visting makes mehta and the only pic five guys and and
all three of front door guys elder barnes and hanson almeida
uh... marshall finished sixth in the voting so he was the top vote getter on
the second
uh... only ccc
announced a getting away from any of the guys who were on the first in the
partial deserve to be there when your second of the country assess what you
have to call status as per day
you are good enough to be first-team all conference in a row megan and i bet you
that seller hanson barnes what all tell you
that marshall should have been on the first in my i don't know who they
should've left off where there was one of the carolina guys
the other two were austin rivers from dugan and mike scott from virginia my my
hunch would be delete must stop from virginia body on the second team
as good a players here as i i thought kendall marshall was
uh... was to read was sensational this year and i mean having seen a lot of
their games and done a lot of their games
ten assists per game it is a ridiculous total at the college level and and i
certainly think you should have been there adding some people just funded
look good to have four carolina guys on the on the top teammate about but i
think marcia should've been there
i completely agree with him he had he is a true for general and every
every sense of the term
uh... and i i truly believe that will make it at the next level but hey that's
just me i've dan showman of e_s_p_n_ thank you so much for the time is always
i really really appreciate it
charter thanks good luck juicers
