The Welcome to Knoll 24-7's on the bench.

This is Brendan Sonone. Josh Newburgh, Chris need joining me. Guys, I had a fun joke to start off the podcast, but you both ruined it, so this is

take to, hi, thank you for ruining it. It wasn't that funny. Not all. All right. Let's get into the

Louisville game, I feel like all eyes are really on James. And then Chris I'll

start with you here.

What were your thoughts on one, how James performed against Virginia and hindsight going back watching film, seeing some of the metrics that have come out?

Was it as bad as some are making it out to seem?

from Willie and Kenelboro's I want to get to.

But I just want to get your overall thoughts on how James has played

this season and most recently this past game.

I think the thing that's had kind of a lasting effect with people

is the missed throws.

They're late, the third down on the second and last series,

and then missing the two throws on the final series
