wins an instant classic their first title since 2007 when they went back to back 06 07 when they had joe keen noah they have al horford uh they won back-to-back titles under billy donovan i think that's what i think that's who their coach was, Billy Donovan. Houston had a chance to take the lead or tie in the final seconds, but failed to get a shot off in the final, what, 19 seconds? Or 12 seconds. But anyway, they failed to get a shot off. Cougars have now appeared in three national championship games, seven Final Four, without a victory.

And they were really close. Reminds me of 83. They were in a tie ball game. And Derrick Wittenberg heaves up a shot and Lorenzo Charles catches it and dunks it as time ends and they lose that heartbreaking game. That was five slamma jamma.

Akeem Elijah won. Clyde Drexler. They had an unbelievable team, but unfortunately Larry Mischel, Benny Andrews, they were not able to get it done. They got taken down by the NC State Wolfpack. It was 19 seconds, yeah, and they didn't get a shot off in 19 seconds, yeah.

Ocho, watching this ball game, I thought Houston, you know, I thought both teams got a little antsy early, started taking some ill-advised shots. It seemed like everybody was trying to end the game early. And late, I don't know why Houston was taking some of the shots that they took, but I think you got to give Florida credit because they didn't panic. They got down 12, and they didn't panic. They stuck with their offense.

They kept getting great sets. Houston was filing, putting them on the free throw line. I mean, they got a couple of and ones and dug themselves back into the ballgame. But watching this ballgame, I know you picked Florida to win it. But what did you like about what you saw? I mean, listen, I like what I saw from Houston. I know they didn't win the game, but obviously I think Houston forcing Florida to have so many turnovers in the first half and a few in the second half. I really thought Houston was going to run away with the game at some point when they were up by 12.

Listen, obviously, Florida being known for their explosive scoring, you know, they faced challenges really penetrating the Houston defense early, early, early in the game, especially once they got up 12. I thought Houston was going to run better play, slow the game down itself and kind of keep the lead extended. But obviously in Florida coming out in the second half, they managed to get back into the game. And obviously we see how the game ended, you know, in Florida's favor.

But nonetheless, it was a great game. I enjoyed it one of the few times. Now that I've been a part of the show, one of the few times I've actually sat down and watched collegiate basketball throughout the entirety of the NCAA series. And I actually enjoyed it, honestly. I thought both teams played outstanding defenses. Nobody shot above 40%. Both teams were 25 or below from the three-point line.

Florida was better from the free-throw line, 17 or 21 for 81%. Houston was 9 or 14 for 64%. A rebounding was right there, 40 rebounds for Florida, 39 for Houston. The game was really nipping tuck. But the thing is is that we saw the other night with Duke and Houston. Yeah.

And Houston should have known that teams don't give up because, I mean, two minutes, three minutes is an eternity in college basketball. Yes, sir. But I think you really have to look.

I know a lot of people are going to say, Houston gagged this one off, they choked this, and maybe so. But still, in order for a team to come back and win when you're down 12 points late in the ballgame or when you're down at any point in time, you still have to execute your offense. Because even though they may have choked, that don't mean you get the lead automatically.

You still have to put the ball in the basket. And they were down, and they executed, and they put the ball in the basket when they absolutely had to. Yeah. And most definitely also, I think Houston in the second half, their shot selection, their shot selection, some of the shots, you know, they were they were trying to put up instead of waiting and allowing the game to come to them. They were very bad. And I think that also allowed Florida to come back into the game. And I just want to mention Walter Clayton Jr. His leadership, his leadership throughout the tournament, especially in the championship game, solidified his status as one of the top performers to me of all time.

You know, I can't run down some of the top performers in a game of this magnitude. But what I saw from him and his ability to score under pressure and facilitate plays and crucial moments for Florida, I think is one of the reasons why they won this game. Yeah, he didn't have his best ball game. Will Richard played really well. He came in, hit a couple of three early and really kept him close early in the ball game. He played well. Alex Condon played really, really well.

Clayton got 11 points, but he was one for seven from the three and he got most of his points. As a matter of fact, he got all 11 of his points in the second half because he was shut out in the first half. Three or ten from the floor. But like I said, both of these teams played outstanding defense, and I think a lot of the

percentages that you see had to do with the defensive effort. And you look, you're on this stage, Ocho, we deal with teenagers. We deal with a lot of these kids, 19, 20 years of age, not being in this situation. And so, you know, they know what's at stake. Right. Hey, I got a chance to be a national champion.

I got a chance to be remembered forever at my university. And Houston's going to be kicking themselves because they had this game under control and somehow they let it slip away from them. But I think you've got to give Florida a lot of credit because they stuck with it. They got timely plays, got timely turnovers. I think the biggest turning point, Ocho, was when the guy tried to split. He tried to split the double team and he ended up dribbling the ball off his knee. Yeah.

Why? Yeah. Why? There's a guy on you. You're trying to go between another guy that's guarding the guy on you you're trying to go to a go between another guy that's guarding the guy but you try to split it yeah which was unnecessary pull the ball back out yeah i know it is also unnecessary but we see it happen all the time listen i'm not saying he's in the nba but we see many many guards many many many players that play the one and the two split we see split all the time.

So I know exactly what he's trying to do. He just wasn't able to execute it the right way because the ball obviously hit off his knee. Mm-hmm. But this was a very good game. Look, it wasn't aesthetically pleasing because both of these teams can have the propensity. They can make a game look ugly.

Yes, sir. They can monk it up, especially Houston, because they play defense, they get up into you, and they make you execute. And so, yeah, you look at the percentages, and you're going to understand why the game was 65-63, because neither team shot above 40% from the floor, neither team shot better than 25% from the three. And so when you get those kind of percentages, Ocho, you're going're going to get a low scoring game right and you're going to get an

ugly game but at the end of the day let me win ugly as opposed to lose lose pretty right that's the way i look at it and florida did what they needed to do like i said they kept themselves attached even though they got down 12 points and you're like damn oh all right florida y'all better do something and every time they hit a three. They hit another three. They cut it to six. They get a layup. They cut it to four. Houston pushing back to eight. They get another two. Boom, boom, boom.

They go on to six. But Florida had, excuse me, Houston had this drought Ocho where it was just basically they were just getting from the free throw line. They couldn't get anything in the basket. And they hit a couple of guys, shot the three out the corner of the backboard. I'm like, well, damn. I got to be feeling good

about that, Ochoa. I'm like, hey, everything going in for us. Listen, that shot selection was abysmal in that second half. Instead of allowing the game to come to you, you're pressing when you shouldn't be pressing. Take your time. Run your plays. You're pressing when you shouldn't be pressing. Take your time. Run your plays.

You know? I mean, that's one thing to say sitting here at home, but understanding the magnitude of the situation, you know, things change. Yeah. And plus, Florida early on, Houston was getting second chance after second chance. They were getting opportunity.

They were cleaning them up on the glass. On the glass, yeah. Outstanding defense. They were blocking shots. They were stealing the ball. And they were doing everything. This is the type of game that Houston wanted to play. Florida kind of got out of sorts, taking quick

shots, turning the ball over. At one point, I think Florida had turned the ball over five times and Houston didn't have any. But they settled themselves down. I think you have to give Florida a lot of credit. That coaching staff did a great job of settling his players down. Like, look, guys, we can't win the ballgame in the first half. Let's not,

hey, let's play our brand of basketball. Let's do what we do. But it takes a lot for a team to get down like they did and still find a way to come up and win because when they needed to make plays, they made plays. And you have to

give Florida staff credit for that. Kelvin Sampson probably kicking himself he's like man what the hell do we have to do in this game but i guarantee you if somebody told him up say you know at the beginning of the year you're going to be up 12 points with about seven minutes to play in the ball game and he would like the position of being in 12 to being in that position absolutely but that's all eternity. And it seemed like, damn, can the clock go any faster? Can we have a running clock even if the ball goes out of bounds? That clock is stopping at everything, and you're like, damn.

But it was a situational show. I think you have to give Florida more credit than you put place blame on Houston. I know Houston made some mistakes that they don't normally make in that position. But even though you made those mistakes, somebody has to capitalize on them. Right. And that's what Florida was able to do. They were able to capitalize on the mistakes. And that's what they did.

They capitalized. And they're the national champs. And they are, again, SEC. They pulled it out. They sent 14 teams to the tournament. And the last man standing was an SEC team. So that was a pretty good game. I'm glad I got an opportunity.

Because, you know, hey, Florida is a football school. You're in SEC unless you're Kentucky. Right. You're a football school. Football school, yeah, most definitely. Most definitely. And Houston. Houston is a basketball school because Houston,

they've had some good players come out of it. Elvin Hayes came out of University of Houston. Clyde Drexel, Akeem Olajuwon. So they've had some pretty good players come out of there. More so than I think of the football team. But I think you've got to give Florida Gators more credit than you place blame on the University of Houston because I think Florida got this with their

execution late in the ballgame, and they were able to pull out a win, a 65-63 win. We good? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it was a good ballgame, Ocho. I that everybody in houston is going to be everybody in texas is going to be upset a lot of people are going to be upset because they think houston

gagged it off huh wait a minute honestly honestly i think i know everybody in houston watched the show i know they watched the show yesterday and i told them i told them when i talked to k-mart one thing you don't do you don't bet against florida now even even though i didn't go to florida listen i am from the state of florida so i understand houston is one of the greatest cities we talk about it all the time one of the greatest cities of all time you hear me now when i when i listen hey look if you get you can see me right i'm talking to you when i'm talking to you yeah but i know you're picking up what i'm putting down. But when it comes to basketball, I already knew. I already knew how the script was going to play.

I knew how it was going to play out. That's why I made the bet I bet.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space

Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.

Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.

You know what it is, though. Y'all are talented. You know what I'm saying? Y'all got a natural God gift that he bless y'all with. Sometimes them players don't be having no support down there, man. You're right. Nobody be coming to their game still at that level.

But I'm going to talk about the Falcons. You've been riding with the Falcons forever, honestly. I don't want to know, what's your honest take on the new era

and I can hear the passion and enthusiasm that you had for all your sports there, whether it be football, whether it be soccer, whether it be basketball. So let's go. You as an athlete yourself, if you could pick one sport, if you could do it all over again, you could pick one sport out of the three that you can play and actually make it as an elite athlete,

what would it be and what position would you play? Baseball because I played it the longest. Wait, baseball? Yeah, I played baseball all the way up to the 11th grade. Outfielder. You try to run on me. I play right field. I gun you down. I mean, I can't say that. That means throw the ball fast, people. That means throw the ball fast. I was a 5-2

in high school. What you talking about? I don't care about none of that. You can get your little jump. You're going to hit a ball. The ball going to say zzzz. You can get your little jump. Get your little jump. You're going to hit a ball. The ball is going to see. You already know what that means. You already know what that means. You hit a ball before it hit the mitt.

You're like, oh, that's. Yeah. I go with basketball because it's easy to. I want to say easy. If you just get one time you get on ESPN, you got to capitalize on that. Right, right. You one of them.

Everybody just think it's only one LeBron. No, there's so many people in the NBA. If you want a name, all you need to do is act like you want a name. Do something. You feel me? Russell Westbrook, my favorite player, because he just got that aggression. He got that dog in him.

If folk play like Russell, oh, man. How do you feel about the NBA with all these calls? And they can't even really play. How can they let them fight? They let them go to timeout, come back. What's going on, bro? What are we doing in basketball, man? They did away with that.

The fans was turned off about that fight like they used to have in the 70s and the 80s. And even in the 90s. Hey, David Stern said enough of this. Enough of this bull jive. They can go skate and have. They can go skate, knock teeth out, all that. Get out of the way. We go in, we can't even get a file, is it?

And plus, DC, you making $56 million. I ain't finna get none of that back fight. You not finna sit me down for 20, 30 games and take $15 million for a punch? Oh, dude. What? $75,000 for a foul? Yeah. Yeah?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, no, you got $75,000 for a gesture. You throw a punch, and you might get to go sit down two games. That's $3, $4 million. But see, but then they don't understand. Like, these are men. These are grown men.

These folk got testosterone. These folk playing with aggression. How do you want these folk to play? If I dunk on you, I'm not going straight back. I'm looking for your mama. I'm like, who raised this nigga, man?

you gotta do it in a structured manner I call it control chaos yes sir I control I call it control chaos

the better you are to be able to control yourself but still be still be chaotic within the parameters of the game and the rules of the game then you'll of the game, then you'll be all right.

Once you push the envelope and step across that line, they're going to take your money every time. But do they not understand that even that part of aggression, though, it makes the players better? Because it's like, I want you to be great. Because if you come out here on your A game and I ain't playing well, that means you got the best of me today. That means I got to go work on something.

But if I'm always good, I don't know how great I really am. But DC, you know how it is, how we are. Even if we have not played anything, you keep getting in my face. If you get the best of me, I'm going to swing on you. It's like that.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company. The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

It's okay to show it

sometimes. It's okay. You don't have to be a political robot all the time and say everything right. It's okay to express how you feel for a change. You don't want to get caught on cameras. Oh, okay.

Remember that episode? You know, you know, you know, as NBA players, NFL players, you already know who's off limits.

Yes. You know who's off limits. Now. You know who's off limits. Now, everybody else is the green light. Oh, you can't say one. Now, you can't say, you can't say, oh, this, I got a wife and I got a girl. No, you can't do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That don't work.

You can't get them all. Okay. Yeah. It's a rule, and it's been a rule like that for years. There's nothing new.

That one is always off limits. Now, anything outside of that, I don't care who it is. I don't care how long y'all been talking. I don't care how long you know each other. Well, there's a green light.

And nine times out of ten, in that circle, with us, she going. No, it was like, uh-uh. But I was like, bro, I was like, man, you know what? Boy, it was rough out there, Ocho. It was rough out there.

Yeah. It was rough out there. Yeah. Charles Barkley was back in San Antonio for the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game on Monday, and he couldn't leave without reigniting a friendly rivalry with the city and their big old women. After being handed the mic, thanking everyone in attendance, Chuck made sure to point out ladies who counted all of Alamo City their home. Y'all got some big Bs out here. You see it?

Man, Chuck. Man, Chuck out here. He said, man, Chuck, man, Chuck, Chuck got his mind, man. When did that start? Why he had beef with the people out there? It goes back decades. He's always saying, yeah, yeah.

But he reignited because he say, man, y'all got some big old women out here. He been saying that. Right, right, right. You know with Chuck, once he finds something that, just like most people, once they find something that bothers you. Right.

Chuck, and you know, they would write him and say, I can't believe you said that about San Antonio. He's like, y'all do. Y'all just got some big old women out here. And you know Shaq, Shaq was like from San Antonio. Shaq went to high school and everything. So Shaq just be laughing.

Shaq don't make it any better because he laughing. What did they say, Chuck? How did it look, Chuck? He be gassing Chuck up. And you know Chuck. Put that battery in his back and just let him go. Yeah, that's funny, man. That is funny.

Russell Westbrook avoided the media for three games after he screwed up the Wolves. After the league gave him a warning, this is how he reacted after the Nuggets lost to the Pacers last night. Let's take a look, Ocho. You guys need to clean this right now and get ready for the end of the regular season. I'm not sure, to be honest. Your coach just mentioned the urgency of the situation, trying to avoid the play, and right now,

do you feel like in this locker room there's a sense of urgency? I don't know, man, you know, not sure. Michael Morris called this team one of the most resilient league this season. You obviously are able to draw from so many experiences. What can you kind of try to draw from to help this team in that situation? That's where you're going. I don't have to answer for you, man. I wish I did, but unfortunately I don't.

What's frustrating you the most right now? I mean, probably just losing. Where's the confidence that this group can figure something out in the next three games and, you know,

be on the right path heading into the postseason? I hope it's high. I can't speak for everybody in the locker room, but, you know, my head stays high

and get ready for Wednesday. You don't like that? Let me ask you a question. You've been in the locker room, but I've been in the locker room. We've had some great wins. We've had some terrible losses. Yes, sir. Had they won these games,

is he behaving in this manner? Probably not. Your answer is always different when you're on a high and you've won a game, you know that. Now, most of the time,

as a player, as a competitor, especially Russell Westbrook, you know how he carries himself. He carries everything on his shoulders. Very passionate, very enthusiastic

about the way he plays. You know, when things aren't going well, he wears that on his shoulders. You know that. Why did they go well? Who missed that layup? Who turned the ball over right right

now he didn't go on three games yes sir without talking to the media right you know that's not that's a part of the obligation that's in the seat that's a part of the obligation that's why you make the big bucks yes sir and now when things go bad you don't want to talk but when he was getting those triple doubles, you couldn't beat him to the microphone. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You see, Ocho? Yeah.

I tell people this all the time. What you do is your profession. A profession, that's a professional. A pro is how you go about doing your job. Right. They're entirely two different things and sometimes people confuse the two you can be a professional without being a pro and you can be a pro without being a professional

one thing i pride of myself i i hated to lose oh joe i did i would when i was growing up i would cry i would kick things and tear things. And my greatest, I'm going to tear your ass up. Because you're not going to win everything in life. And you're not going to be doing this. I just don't get it, man. That's just hate. Hey, I got a question.

And you know me. I mean, you know Westbrook very well. Westbrook, Brennanville. I don't know. I just know me not. I mean, you know Westbrook very well. Westbrook, Brennanville. I don't know. I just know from what I see. Okay, okay, okay. But you listen. That's my homeboy, a very good friend of mine.

The games where he didn't speak, the games where they may have been caused by him and his errors or whatever it may have been. Yeah. Do you fault him for not talking to the media without having a would not have having a cool down and having a chance

of saying the wrong things? Yes. Okay. You go three games? Yeah. So the message, so now, I'm just asking,

I'm just asking a question. No, it seemed, so everybody else, Nicola Yogi's had to stand up there and take off. Even though he had that 61 point triple-double. Yes, sir.

He had to stand there and face the music. Yes, sir. Everybody else has to stand and face the music. Mm-hmm. You see, I'm big on accountability. Right. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I just have to be mad enough to come stand before you to guess again I was wrong.

Right. I was wrong. I made a mistake. Right. I've got to be better. I'm not perfect. I like that. was wrong i made a mistake right i've got to be better i'm not perfect i like but my my goal is to hopefully one day that to show you that this is not who i am right no matter what it is no matter what it is because i've been in a situation where i've lost like i said i dropped the touchdown that

would have given us home field advantage throughout the playoffs you go stand before the music yeah because i believe sunshine's gonna follow rain i. I'm not going to drop many more. Come on, man. But if I do, I'm going to be mad enough to stand before you and say, hey, I dropped it. This one's on me. John threw a perfect pass. Everybody did everything right.

All I had to do was my job in that situation. Catch the ball. I failed. Yes, sir. Don't put it on anybody else. Don't talk like it's no team. Yes, it's a team. But that play, they trusted me in that moment.

And I let 53 guys down. And I let everybody in the stadium. And I let every Bronco fan down. That's on me. I got to wear that. And I don't just wear it for tonight. I wear it for the rest of my life. That's live.

It is what it is. Now, listen. Listen. Now, that's live. but you do have to understand, everybody done conduct themselves in that manner. And not that kind of professional manner. That's, that's. But see what you did.

But, but hold on. That's a good one. That was good. We just talked about this last night. Yeah. What do we want women to do? Accept what? Accountability.

Ooh, they ain't gonna never do that, huh? But I hear you talking. You can't ask them to accept accountability if you're not willing to accept accountability. Ooh, they ain't gonna never do that, huh? But I hear you talking. You can't ask them to accept accountability if you're not willing to accept accountability. That is, hey,

that's dope. You can never ask more than you're willing to give. Hey, that's two different sides of the spectrum, but I like where you're going with it because I'm picking up

what you're putting down, though. I tell you that, that's a good one. Accountability. Yes. You have to be, you have to hold yourself accountable.

Yes. We're not perfect. The hardest thing for me to learn is my sister say, Shannon, as much as you try to be perfect, you're not going to be. I understand you do all this stuff and you want, but Shannon,

you're human. And a lot of times humans have frailties. We have vices. You own it, and you try to move forward. Yes, sir. I just don't like this. I don't like this. Russ is too good of a player.

He's been a good player for a long time. He's not the same player that he once was, but he's a good player in the situation that he's in. It's not like this is the first time that Russ has had a snafu that potentially didn't help his team win. Right. It happens. Yeah.

And listen, he's had many times that he's had, he has helped his team win. Yes. You just so happen to be on the other side of the story right now. Play long enough. Yeah. Play long. Think about it.

Peyton, Tom, everybody, all the greats, Michael, LeBron, Kobe, everybody's had moments like that. If you play long enough, you are going to have moments like what he had. I don't think any lesser russ because i mean look he missed the layup he's not the first professional after the first professional hall of fame mvp player to miss a layup right patrick ewing missed one in the playoffs y'all remember against the pacers point blank he got caught in between do i dunk it or do i and he hit it boom hit the back of the iron.

Happens. Play long enough. If you play a sport long enough, you're going to have something happen. Oh, yeah. If you play baseball, you're going to miss a fly ball. You're going to have an error and lead the runs. It happens. It's a part of the game. But I just

wish in that situation, um, that wouldn't happen. Um, but it is hopefully, uh, hopefully it's something that he can learn from and a move forward and play well in the playoffs.
