Hey everybody, and welcome to another episode of sports prep live. Sports prep live, where we unbox the bike and talk excellence in athletics.
Graydon Prescott 0:35
Welcome back to another episode of sports prep live. This is season number five. Episode number three. Today is a very action packed day, because this weekend was or this week was a very action packed week. We have some college football, we have some UNLV, we have some high school football. We have a lot of WNBA. There are a lot of things to cover and not a lot of time to do it. So we're going to get straight into it. Kb is here as always, we're gonna start with high school football. Yeah, we'll go high school and then college, and then we'll get to professional sports. We'll start with high school football. I was wrong. Epic Battle. Gorman lost, unfortunately, although they shouldn't have, okay, I'm just gonna go ahead and say this. The reps were horrible. They missed a unnecessary roughness towards the end of the game against our Qb, and that ended up turning into a fourth down, which Gorman didn't convert, when we should have had an auto first down and we should have advanced the ball 15 yards and been in field goal range to at least tie the game. But there were a lot of reasons that Gorman lost this game. They were inconsistent. They started off the game white
K.B. 1:42
hot. So the the way that the game was officiated was really just one of them, yeah, maybe a small
Graydon Prescott 1:47
one. I mean, an important one. If the game was officiated properly, Gorman wins. If Gorman had consistent special teams play, Gorman wins because they had a field goal blocked and they also missed one, right? Um, that's, that's really poor. They were inconsistent with their passing game, their running game. Couldn't do anything the whole night. They started off the game hot. I think they had a 60 something yard completion on the very first drive on like third and seven.
K.B. 2:12
So let's go back a second. You were saying they had these were separate plays where they had a field goal attempt blocked, yes, and then and then another where they just want to tie the game. That doesn't happen a lot. No, it doesn't. Wow, that's six points gone. Yeah, six points gone, and they lost by three.
Graydon Prescott 2:28
Three they the one that was missed was missed wide left. I'm guessing it was a 45 yard field goal. Now, not a professional kicker, but still, it's 45 high school. Yeah, this is a division one commit kicker. That's doable. Hudson is committed to Hawaii as a kicker, so that should be a field goal.
K.B. 2:50
Here's an interesting question, did the block come before the missed field? Yeah, the block was first, okay, so that could be psychological,
Graydon Prescott 2:57
psychological. He didn't miss any extra points, which, which is good, redeeming Yes, but missed a missed, a huge one to tie the game at 27 and then modern day had to punt. And then Gorman got there three and out with the unnecessary rough or four and out with the unrecessary roughness. Call missed. But there were a lot of things that went wrong. Basically everything that could have gone wrong went wrong for Gorman to lose this game, Murphy's Law. They they got a fumble recovery return for a touchdown, and then the refs called offsides on them, and it was called back points off the board. So, so yeah, it was insane, because Gorman was going to be up 21 to 10 going into halftime, because this happened 30 seconds left in the half. Okay, so Gorman was going to be up 2110 and then modern day throws a bomb touchdown. It's a tie game. Unbelievable sequence. Yeah, so, or, excuse me, they get a field goal. The bomb was at the end of the game, which was just ridiculous. Chris Henry Jr, Ohio State commit, number one receiver in the country, number one for a reason, five star. Yeah, I'm he had, he didn't have a loud game, but he had the loudest play of the game. Sure, sure. Jet Washington had an interception in the third quarter, which was big for Gorman, another five star, uh huh, Oregon commit. But Chris Henry, they were it was 27 or 24 to 21 Gorman, and it was third and, I think 14 for modern day, and then they just throw a absolute missile to the back pylon for Chris Henry, double coverage. Okay, by two division one committed defensive back sure didn't matter. He caught it touchdown. He's like six five, yeah, he's six five. He runs a four, four. You know, ungodly athleticism, exactly, yes. But everything that could have went wrong for Gorman went wrong. I'm not going to say everything went right for modern day, but I mean, you throw an interception, you get a field goal block, you miss a field goal, you have a fumble called or you have a fumble recovery called back. I saw at least three fumbles for Gorman. They got lucky, because all of them wound up out of bounds. So modern day was never able to capitalize on sure, but I mean, it was. Just it was a sloppy game that they played. Offensive line play, not good. The quarterback play was not his. It was not his best performance that we've ever seen from for Bishop from Micah, yes, yeah. He's also committed to Hawaii. This is a very, very good quarterback. He played in the OT, ot seven league for this team called low pro, and they were by far the best team. He was by far the best quarterback. So this is a really, really good quarterback. He just didn't have a good night. Yes, a little small for my taste, but yes, he's still a very talented, he's still a talented. QB was about six feet, yeah, yeah. Micah, six, six foot. Six one. Okay, yeah,
K.B. 5:37
on a good day, yes. But like you said, a very good quarterback. Yeah, he's still super talented, but, you know, an extra three or four inches that wouldn't matter, yeah,
Graydon Prescott 5:44
but still good awareness. He gets out of situations where a lot of people would be sacked, sure, but that was the issue. He didn't have any time like the offensive line. I heard that the offensive line, they were overwhelming. Yeah, they were overwhelmed. Yes, by modern days pressure, and I think Gorman, I've been, I'm a senior at Bishop Gorman, okay, um, so I've seen them play modern day three of my four years. My sophomore year, we didn't play modern day, and then we ended up going undefeated and winning the national champions, right? But we didn't play modern day, but we were on air, and modern day was talking, yes, yeah. I mean, they were talking Absolutely. Modern bishop had modern day long because they didn't play us, but modern day lost to Bosco that year. So that was the whole dilemma. But here's the issue, every other year I've seen Gorman lose a total of three football games. All three are modern day, all three, two of them at home, right? My freshman year, Gorman should have beat them, and they lost because they couldn't convert down the stretch. My June or my junior year, this was the year after modern day. Did all the talking, sure. Um, modern day just kick their rear ends. It was terrible. And then this game that happened on Friday, which I complete, I firmly believe that. I think people thought Bishop was gonna win, and this was the first time in the three meetings that Gorman was coming in as they this is the team that looks like they should be the favorites to win the national championship. They've had the best defense in the country. Their offense has been lights out. They beat up on a team by 38 that modern day escaped by three correct like everything was pointing to Bishop Gorman's going to win this game by 20 points. And it's almost as if they had like, a mental block where, like, modern day has a psychological effect on them right to where they can't get
K.B. 7:21
the job done, because it's been, like, five or six years and they have not beat Yeah,
Graydon Prescott 7:25
modern day has been beating up on Gorman, and granted, I will say close games, but that's just it. Like Gorman's not be able to get
K.B. 7:33
over there. Brown are going to punch, punch this ticket.
Graydon Prescott 7:37
It's almost it reminds, it reminds me of, and I hope this is how it turns out, is the head coach of Bishop, Bishop Gorman, yes, for those and I hope this is how it turns out, but it almost reminds me it's eerily similar to Jordan and the bad boys, where Jordan, where the bulls just kept knocking on the door and knocking on the door, but they couldn't get them. And then finally they break through, and it changes everything, because Gorman wanted had a three peat a couple years ago, but they just haven't
K.B. 8:01
been able to be here's the problem with that analogy, and I'm sure you already know it now. Yeah, the personnel, yeah, they don't have a Michael Jordan. Well, not only that, but also in the bulls, the personnel basically stayed the same. Yeah, people, they were getting tougher and tougher
Graydon Prescott 8:15
each year. This is true. And the pistons were getting older, which is not going to
K.B. 8:19
happen. That's true, but they were still really, really good. Yeah. The big thing was the pistons were training the bulls on, yeah, and how to be, you know, hyper
Graydon Prescott 8:28
competitive, right? All I'm saying was the similarity is the personnel changes at, yeah. My only thing was the similarity is they just can't get over the Yeah, with this team, exactly. So I really hope, because I'm obviously going to be an alma mater for Gorman, so I will be supporting coming to games, and you can, but I mean, I just haven't been able to see them get through modern day. And then modern day has a similar thing with Bosco, where
K.B. 8:55
here's, here's a question for you, okay? Because Coach Brown is a really, really good coach. He knows his stuff. But this harkens, or this reminds me, of the situation with Ohio State Michigan, where the one thing that Ohio State, the one team that Ohio State does not want to lose to, they keep losing and that they keep losing to, is
Graydon Prescott 9:17
Michigan. But that's the issue, though, because Ohio State just won a national championship like it doesn't matter that they lost the game to Michigan. Now Gorman can't win the national championship unless somehow, by the grace of God, Bosco loses Grayson loses modern day, loses again. St Francis has to lose again, because they lost to Bosco, who's the number one team in the country. So for st, Francis is number two, and then it's Grayson, and then there's a couple other img has to lose. What did Bishop fall to? Do? You know, seven? Wow. Okay, they went from two to seven, and then modern day went from eight to six, eight to six. Okay, that's kind of what I'm Centennial has to lose again, because they beat modern day. So IMG, Grayson, st, Francis, modern day and Centennial all have to lose, yeah. For. Gorman too.
K.B. 10:00
And unfortunately, Gorman doesn't have an opportunity, right? And there's any of these top teams again, right now, they're just playing League,
Graydon Prescott 10:06
and there's no National Championship playoff where they'll do, okay, let's just say the top 16 teams, right? You gather you play single elimination, a bad idea, right? I would hope that that would that is not a bad idea, or maybe if, even if it was just the top eight teams deserve a shot at, okay, one plays eight to play seven, so on down for the national championship, right? College football is different, even though Ryan day, coach of Ohio State, he hasn't been able to beat Michigan. He just won the national championship, so it doesn't matter that he can't. He's good, yeah, he got a ring. Ohio State's the number one team in the country again, um, and they're going to be just fine. So his job security is there? Browner just won a national championship two years ago as well. So his job security, sure, sure, sure. We're not talking about, I'm just saying, yeah, getting over this humble with moderate, with modern day, right? I think it would be better if there was a National Championship playoff, because that would give them more chances. But another bite at the apple. Modern day, I think the coaching staff has a different level of confidence, where, when they're playing Gorman, it's like we've got these guys number, even if it's just coaching staff versus coaching staff, like modern day feels like they've got Gorman's number.
K.B. 11:18
And I also feel like modern day practices harder, and Bishop probably does too. They know each other is going to be on the
Graydon Prescott 11:26
opposite. I think Gorman being at the school, I think Gorman expected to win the game, and didn't. I think a lot of people expected Gorman to win this game, and modern day was training like a team that it was expected. Like, okay, nobody in the country thinks we're winning this game, correct? So we're gonna, that's dangerous. We're gonna show you we're winning this football that's dangerous. Gorman, which is also dangerous, but in the wrong way. Was in the mentality everybody in the country thinks and knows we're gonna win that is also dangerous. Yeah, in the wrong in a not good, yeah, correct. Everybody in the country believes we're gonna win this football game. And what happens like it's it's like in Rocky where the person who has the gritty training is the one who wins. Sure, that's just how it was with with modern day. Now, I know Gorman practices just as hard as anybody. This is not any Gorman slander. I'm just talking specifically about the game with modern day. I think the school was a little bit complacent, little bit on their high horse, yeah, they may have been Ivan dragon and the and the same thing. Shout out to the Gorman volleyball team. Modern day had the number four volleyball team in the country. Gordon was 30, so Gorman, yes, they were in town, heavy. Yeah, in town, heavy. And they played on Thursday. Gorman being the underdog in the volleyball by a lot more than the football, sure. And they win three sets to one.
K.B. 12:41
Shout out to Ayanna Watson, a beast volleyball. If you don't know, you better ask somebody. She had 35 kills. Man. Ayanna Watson, daughter of former NBA player CJ Watson, yeah, she is a beast in volleyball. So check
Graydon Prescott 12:55
her out. Committee. She's committed to Pittsburgh, yes, yeah. She's which is a great volleyball they were number one in the country last year, until they lost the game. It's great. And Prescott here on Sports prep live, we have just discussed high school football with Gorman and moderate day. Give a big shout out to Bishop Gorman's women's volleyball team for knocking off the number four team in the country. We're going to keep it at home now, and we're going to focus on UNLV for a second. There's not a ton that we need to cover here, 234, count them up and oh and Oh. So there's not a ton that needs to be covered here. We almost lost to Miami of Ohio, which would not have been the best look, right? But only counted horseshoes. Almost doesn't mean anything. We won the game, that's correct. We were down 24 to 10 at halftime, and we won the second half, 31 to 14, good enough to win the game by three. Go Rebels, 4138 big, big win a game that for a second there it looked like we didn't have the ability to get the job done. But Gorman has been playing or Gorman UNLV has been playing some great football over the past two seasons. Matthew slooca has not
K.B. 14:05
man like, like every game that UNLV wins. I think it's an L for Matthew slooker, former quarterback of the UNLV rebels, who left over $100,000 audience probably knows now, yeah, $100,000 for a division one quarterback. He leaves because he says he was promised $100,000 where's he playing now? Like the University of Mogadishu. I know he
Graydon Prescott 14:31
was at Holy Cross last year. I know he's a backup quarterback. Yeah, this year, I think he let, well, he he's not at Holy Cross anymore. What is he at?
K.B. 14:39
James Madison. I believe it's something like James Madison. I think it's James Madison as a backup quarterback, not a d1 division
Graydon Prescott 14:48
one. You win jam. Use division one, but they're not, no, I mean, they're like a mid major, correct, yeah, correct. Not. It's not your power. That's what I would that's where I was going, not a division one, top team. UNLV is not in a power conference either, but they're still it's UNLV, correct? It's, it's a, it's a, it's a different level.
K.B. 15:06
And if they stay on this trajectory, some good things can happen in terms of these college football playoffs.
Graydon Prescott 15:11
Yeah, absolutely. They need to keep winning, yeah, but right now, the trajectory that they're on, who's, you know, who can say definitively that UNLV won't have a shot
K.B. 15:21
at the put together 17 points in the fourth quarter, 17 in the four storming
Graydon Prescott 15:26
back 14 in the third. Yeah. So I'm hoping you and LV can continue on this streak. The longer they go without losing, the more likely it's going to
K.B. 15:36
be for them. Andrea Qb, yeah. Nourse Brown, 67 yard, pick six. Huge. A big scoring the first half. Shout out to coach Mullen. I mean, these guys are doing the darn thing. And again, not only am I happy for them, but again, for me. You know, sometimes I can be a hater, so I'm just twisting the knife in. Matthew slooca, lately, come on. I'm sure you will never make that mistake again. But it was so glad. Well, he'll never have the opportunity to make he will not. And I remember Coach Saban talking about this as well. Like this made ESPN, right? This was a big story for him to have left a d1 program as the starting QB. And there is question as to whether he should have been the starting QB over Hajj, Malik Williams, but he was, and he leaves because he didn't get $100,000 which is absolutely insane.
Graydon Prescott 16:24
Hey, we're doing but we're
K.B. 16:27
better for it. Yeah, Go
Graydon Prescott 16:28
Rebels. While we're on the topic of college football, this has been one of the most insane first five weeks of college football that I've ever seen. Okay? So Clemson, coming into the season was a top five AP team in the country, right? I'll just, I'll just go ahead and say they're one in three. They're one in three. They're losing games to Syracuse, which, no, hate to Syracuse. This is not a power football team, right? It's just, it's just the way basketball, different story, but, yeah, but football, no, it's just the way it is. Clemson is a team that's won multiple national championships. Like, what are we talking about, right? How are you one in three they have not played good football also in the SEC, Oklahoma, who was not a top five, they're undefeated. Now. They're in the top 10. First time in the top 10 in two years. They're number seven. Number seven, yes, yes, of course you're gonna you. It's predictable. The top 10 teams in the country is dominated by the big 10 in the SEC. And then you can throw in a couple of ACC squads in there. So you got Texas, A and M Texas, Georgia, LSU representing the SEC. And then you got Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon for the big 10. And then there's a lot of
K.B. 17:37
schools in the big 10 right now. Yeah. Number two, I don't know why I called it that anymore.
Graydon Prescott 17:41
I think it's just because of the I actually read an article about this, why they put out a statement as to why it's still called the Big 10. They said because a not every sport has 17 teams in the big 10, like basketball and football do, but there aren't 17 hockey teams in the big 10, correct? And then also so the number, you can't change the number based off of a certain sport, because that number is not reflective of exactly. And they said because the big 10 brand legacy, yes, that brand is a multi billion dollar brand, so it just makes no sense to change it. I actually thought that was an interesting art, sure, and it makes sense to me,
K.B. 18:19
absolutely, that brand has a lot of, yeah, it's
Graydon Prescott 18:23
just funny and ironic now that, you know, there's, it's not Ted, yes, I
K.B. 18:27
remember when it was the big 10, and they made the 10 into an 11, and that was a big deal because they brought in, I believe, Rutgers, yeah, but now it's like
Graydon Prescott 18:35
1718, to everybody. While we were on the topic of football, Ohio State is still number one in the country. Miami jumped to number two. They haven't been ranked this high since 2017 they just smacked Florida. Penn State went from two to three. Not their fault. They didn't do anything wrong. They just had a bye
K.B. 18:52
week. I think Penn State has a game coming up against Danny Manning and the boys, so that's going to be interesting. Yeah?
Graydon Prescott 18:59
Oregon, Oregon, yeah. So Oregon beat these boys by one point last year.
K.B. 19:04
I mean, they're good, I don't, I don't think that they're paternal good, I think. But pennant state is still a really good football team.
Graydon Prescott 19:12
Penn State is a perennially one of the best sure sure in the country. Or, excuse me, Oregon has also perennially been one of the top teams since Nike. Big supporter, yeah. Um, pour a lot of money into the program exactly. That does matter. It does resources. Yeah, they're the team that has developed the most in the last 2530 years, just because Nike has been able to pour someone right in the backyard, exactly. Um, I think Penn State wins the football game. And I think, just
K.B. 19:37
off topic a little bit, I think Phil Knight went to the University of Oregon, if I'm not mistaken.
Graydon Prescott 19:42
Yes, he did. I think Penn State wins a football game, but I don't be surprised if either team wins. It's, it's, what is it? Three versus six.
K.B. 19:50
I'm gonna go against you on this one. You think just because man, Danny prepares, like nobody,
Graydon Prescott 19:58
yeah, but like, Okay. Right? Here's the way. I don't think there's anybody he plans his work and then he works right now, I don't think there's anybody in the top 10 who can't beat the other top Well, I don't think there's anybody in the top eight that can't beat the rest of the top eight, except Ohio State. I think they're the only team that's kind of unbeatable right now, right? I think Ohio State's the one. I think Miami can beat Oklahoma. I think Oklahoma can beat Miami. I think Georgia can beat everybody except Ohio State. I think Oregon can win it against anybody. I don't think they beat Ohio State, but my point is any game could go anyway.
K.B. 20:36
So I agree with you in theory, but in this one, I just don't see Manning losing this game.
Graydon Prescott 20:42
I wouldn't, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins this game. I'm still gonna go with Penn State, but I'm not saying that because I'm supremely confident in Penn State's ability.
K.B. 20:52
Number three, there's a lot of respect in there. Yeah, absolutely.
Graydon Prescott 20:55
But it's still, it's not three versus 23, versus six. Like, yeah. Like, yeah, this could go either way. The biggest games coming up this week are going to be number I think nine, Florida State, and number two, Miami. And then Georgia. Alabama is a big game because of the name, sure, but I complete. I expect Georgia to just throw, to just beat them to the ground. I mean, Alabama,
K.B. 21:19
Alabama is experiencing some
Graydon Prescott 21:21
Yeah, it's a problem. It's last. Last year that game was one of the best football games I've seen. Alabama goes up 28, zero, and then Florida came, or Georgia came all the way back, and Alabama won on a game winner.
K.B. 21:35
The tide is not rolling the way it used to,
Graydon Prescott 21:38
yeah, but Nick Saban's departure really changed the Alabama football program. He is that dude, yeah, so I think and Kirby smart hasn't gone anywhere, so I think Georgia's I expect Georgia to beat the crap out of them. I think I'm taking Miami, I'm taking Georgia, and I'm taking Penn State, which is kind of weak because I'm taking all the higher ranked teams. And I want to say there's an upset, but I feel like Miami is clearly the the rank too. I think they're the fourth best team. And I think Penn State is just a has a little bit of an edge on Oregon. I think right now, I think LSU is the second best team in the country right now. Got it? Yeah, it's great. And Prescott here on Sports prep live, we've been over some high school sports. We've been over some college sports, and now we're going to move to professional sports for the last six minutes of the program, and we have the WNBA playoffs. I'll start here. The fever got it done against the dream. I didn't see that coming because they went anybody. They went down one up. And this has been the team where we said on air last week, the fever, you know, they've had so many season ending injuries like, you know, just, it's just a reset here. All of a sudden, they beat the dream, and now they're up one Oh, on the aces, that aces, the aces, win their series in a three game series against a Seattle barely Win Game three. They should have won by more Asia. Wilson put on a master class to win that absolute game. But they barely, they barely escaped Seattle. Now they're playing the fever of injury riddled fever team, and they lose game one here in Las Vegas. The fever are looking incredible. Kelsey Mitchell is playing some of the best basketball I've ever seen,
K.B. 23:21
ever, ever since she was at any Ohio State.
Graydon Prescott 23:24
Ohio State, yes, by the way, congratulations to Asia Wilson for winning the MVP. Well, we'll get there. I have a hot take. You know who should be and she won't be, she won't be okay. But you know who should be by far the most worried, if the fever win this series, who should be worried? Caitlin Clark. Really? I think Caitlin Clark is getting looked at sideways. If the fever get to the finals,
K.B. 23:46
you might be right about that. Shout out to the maestro, Caitlin Clark, she's in town.
Graydon Prescott 23:50
I got nothing but love for Caitlin. The fever, yeah, I got nothing but love for Caitlin. Yeah, huge. And from my perspective, I like the optics, yeah. From my perspective, I would say, oh man, the fever got to the finals and Caitlin was injured. Just wait till next year. Most people are going to be saying Caitlin got injured and then the fever made the finals. They didn't win a playoff game last year, correct? Now, I know that their roster is technically better, and she was a rookie, but Sophie Cunningham is out for the season, and there are other Ari McDonald. McDonald is out for the season, baller, and then Caitlin Clark out for the season, and they bring in these people on mid level exceptions to fill their roster spots hungry, and they're two wins away from making it to the finals. Chelsea Mitchell is playing like a mat, like a like a madman Odyssey Sims. I mean, yo, it's, it's just ridiculous the way that they're performing under the bright lights of the playoffs. So I think, especially with all the negativity that there is in sports. I think if the fever win this series, a lot of people are going to be looking at Caitlin Clark, like, Okay, what's up? Like, you know, you were there, they were above 500 but you guys weren't a super team, right? This year. You go down, what the heck they're in the finals? Like, what's going on here?
K.B. 24:58
I think it's a question that pro. Probably will be asked, but Kelsey Mitchell put on her Kate, yes, yeah, she has a lot to do with it. You know, the one thing look, Caitlin Clark has never been described as the most athletic wnb player.
Graydon Prescott 25:14
Well, here's the thing, Kelsey Mitchell is not the most athletic either. No, she's healthy. Kelsey Mitchell is five on another level. She's five seven. I understand. She's speedy. I will give here. She's faster than Caitlyn he she has a I think she's a better shot creator for herself, insane. She has a
K.B. 25:34
tighter handle. She is the Kyrie of the WNBA. She has hands.
Graydon Prescott 25:38
Yeah, Chelsea Mitchell is, is a real world problem. I'm just talking athleticism, yes, but in terms of basketball playing ability, Kelsey Mitchell is a real world problem. Yes, I She's playing like the best player in the league right now. Yes. Now I still think that it's Asia Wilson, and then it's the right person won the MVP. I think it's Asia and then it's Nafisa Collier, and then you could throw in a Kelsey Mitchell third, agree, best player in the league, right? But she's playing the way she's playing right now. She's playing the best, like she's best in the league. Yeah, she doesn't care that she's going up against the MVP.
K.B. 26:11
And remember, you know when, when Caitlyn Clark was, was chasing those records in college, the most points she was
Graydon Prescott 26:17
chasing Kelsey Mitchell was Chase. He was chasing Kelsey Mitchell.

That's right, yeah, before she got to Kelsey Plum, she had to go through Kelsey Mitchell, Chelsea Mitchell, to get to walking bucket, and she's proven it now, and she has a shot, and she has handles, and she's quick, she's got high basketball IQ, and she is hungry, you know? So I'm not going to ask that question, you know, if they get I don't expect them to get by the aces, but if they do see that's the problem, though. The thing that Caitlyn does add, she doesn't have all that hyper athleticism, but it's the it's the vision her it's the basketball IQ is on another Yes, she's

Chelsea. Gray level with it. Yes, she is. But here's the thing, you say you don't expect them to get past the aces. Now, I'm not saying they can't, yeah, I just right, right? I will say, I will say that shocked. Asia Wilson played her worst game of the season, aside from the time they lost by 50 treated Sure. She played her worst game of the playoffs. It was her worst. It's not gonna happen since they last lost in the regular season. To the links, yeah, it's not gonna happen again, correct? But I saw a fever team just completely dominate and demoralize the ACES for 40 minutes of basketball. It wasn't a Becky is not going to allow it. What? But Stephanie White is just as good of a coach she is. She's a darn good coach, yeah, like the it wasn't a situation where they're close the whole game and then the fever pulled away at the end. No, no, this was the fever won the first quarter, and then they won the second quarter, and they're up seven at halftime. And then they win the third quarter, big and then they even though, and then they out

classes, tried to make a comeback. They just outclassed them. Fever just came, poured it on again,

right and running low on time here. But I just, I don't see the fever being a pushover at all for these. I don't expect them to. This isn't going to be a series where I think Dukes expect the aces to win this. I don't see, I don't think I expect the aces to win this. But let me be clear. Game one wasn't just the
K.B. 28:09
flu. I will say this, the ACES better not They better not lose games. They better not tomorrow, if
Graydon Prescott 28:14
they if the ACES lose game. To hear, you heard it here. First the fever are going to the finals, and they're winning game three. It's a wrap. They're not letting the aces up for Win Game Two. I don't think they will, but they better not allow it. I expect Asia Wilson to come out and play like the MVP. Now, there's going to be more we have to talk about with Asia next week. And series is going to be winding down. If the fever haven't finished it off, hopefully they haven't.
