UConn's Repeat, Max Homa, Brooks Koepka, and Masters Preview
The college basketball season is officially in the books, and we are living in a world of total UConn dominance. Big Cat and PFT break down the Huskies' dismantling of Purdue, a game that felt like a foregone conclusion the moment Dan Hurley stepped onto the floor. While Zach Edey put up a valiant 37 points, the Huskies simply suffocated everyone else. PFT wasn't shy about putting this run into historical context.
PFT CommenterUConn just completed the most dominant postseason run of any team in history
The most dominant stretch in postseason play of any team ever. The best, the best run of any team ever. I think we could say like UConn dominate everybody. The games were not particularly exciting. UConn, they, I think they're the best second half team in the entire tournament by a vast margin.
Big Cat pointed back to the moment the foundation was laid, specifically a 2020 press conference after a loss to Villanova that now looks prophetic. Dan Hurley told the world to get them then because they were coming, and he hasn't stopped coming since.
Big CatDan Hurley's press conference after losing to Villanova in 2020 will go down as one of the coolest, most badass clips of all time
Danny Hurley's press conference after the Villanova lost in 2020 might go down as one of the coolest, most badass Clips of all time when he said, get us now, 'cause we're coming and you're not gonna get us later.
While the tournament might have lacked some of the typical "madness," the story is the machine Hurley has built. He is officially the king of the sport, and despite the salty articles coming out of Indiana, he's the energy the game needs right now.
On the other side, the guys show respect to Zach Edey. Despite the haters, the giant was a force, and Big Cat thinks the NBA will absolutely find a spot for him in the first round. The coaching carousel is also spinning, with the guys trying to figure out who fills the power vacuum at Kentucky now that Coach Cal has retreated to Arkansas with his dog stroller.
Big CatScott Drew will likely be the next head coach at Kentucky
It feels like Scott Drew's gonna be the name. Although again, it's college sports. So any coach saying they're out doesn't mean anything at all.
Masters Week at Augusta
With the hoops season over, it’s time for the greatest tradition unlike any other: redownloading the Masters app. PFT explains why this specific piece of software is the only thing that can heal the hole in his soul left by the end of March Madness.
PFT CommenterThe Masters app is the greatest piece of technology ever invented
My cool Throne is the Masters app... I redownload the Master's app. Have to, it's a tradition unlike any other. And when you log into the, the first time, it just feels, it's such a great way to come down from the NCAA tournament being over... the greatest piece of technology ever invented. Yep. And you open it up and you're like, everything's going to be okay. 'Cause the Masters app's here and it's comforting and it's perfect.
Our good friend Max Homa joins the show from Augusta to talk about his mindset heading into the week. He’s paired with Tiger Woods, which is a dream for the guy who used to use the screen name "NextTigerWoods59." Max is feeling more settled than ever, realizing he doesn't need to be perfect to put on the green jacket.
Max HomaMy great golf is good enough to win a major
I know for a fact my great golf's good enough. It just needs to come out the right week. So let's just hope it's this week. It's a big difference. It's a little bit more calming knowing that like, it doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be good.
Brooks Koepka also stops by to discuss his "don't think" philosophy. It sounds simple, but when Brooks is in this mode, he’s the most dangerous man in any major field. He even let the guys pick his caddy's registration number using the lottery ball machine, though Cam Smith apparently had other plans.
Brooks KoepkaThe best way to play golf is to simply not think about anything
Three of your 10 lessons, were just don't think... that's honestly Fellas. That's the best way to be. It's like, I just kept on scrolling and I was like, wait, we're not, oh, just a reminder. But don't you think that if you're telling everyone to not think about anything now they're thinking about not thinking about anything, which is perfect. That's right where I want 'em.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and Guys on Golf
Hank is on the Hot Seat after a disappointing solar eclipse experience. While the rest of the world was staring at the sky, Hank was hoping for a portal to the fourth dimension and ended up just feeling underwhelmed.
HankThe solar eclipse was overrated
So my Hot Seat is us. We're still in the third dimension. I was kind of looking forward to it. So that was, it was gonna be cool throne, but I kind of was hoping we were in the hot fourth dimension. So, well, eclipse sucked, overrated eclipse.
Finally, Riggs and Trent from Foreplay join the show fresh off the plane from Augusta. They break down the vibes on the ground, the lack of squirrels, and why the Masters is the only place on earth where you can actually enjoy not having your phone. Trent has also become a bit of a walking enthusiast lately, finding a new appreciation for the pace of the game.
TrentWalking nine holes is the best way to experience golf
If you find a course and you find like a, a slot of time where You can walk, it's amazing. I sound kinda like the old like romanticism of golf guy... recently, within the last couple years I would walk nine holes, never 18. I'm gonna die out there if I walk. But if I walk nine holes, it's fucking beautiful. Yeah. Because in a cart you almost aren't looking at the scenery around you.
The guys debated the ultimate hypothetical: would you leave Augusta if your wife went into labor? While Scotty Scheffler says he’s gone, Big Cat is far more committed to the pursuit of greatness than he is to a birthday.
Big CatI would not leave the Masters if I were winning, even for the birth of my first child
If I was winning the Masters, I would not leave. First kid. I agree with you. First kid. First kid. I would first kid if I was winning the Masters. If I was winning the Masters, I would not leave.
If you're looking for a value play this weekend, Riggs suggests keeping an eye on an Aussie who has been close before.
RiggsJason Day is a solid longshot pick to win the Masters at 60-1
My long shot pick is Jason Day... He's Plus I think he's 6,060 to one... I like Jason Day.
Just remember, if Max Homa wins, we’re all getting white girl wasted on Sunday night.
