This is the Rich Eisen show three seconds ago we're tied at 90 here comes sucks long three from the

Rich Eisen show studio in Los Angeles. Iron Eagle here on the Rich Eisen show.

Chaolun Suggs could easily be the number one pick in the draft could be one he could be two he could be three he's gonna be a legitimate NBA player the Rich Eisen show earlier on the show

CBS Sports Broadcaster Jim Nance from NBC Sports Peter King and now it's a rich Eisen hour number three of the Rich Eisen show is on the

Jim Nance and Peter King have already stopped by national championship game tonight Baylor and Gonzaga can't wait for all of that the question is Baylor has a team ever gone so underneath the radar being so dominant as Baylor has been all the way up to this point and this point is basically they snuck in like if you asked people most people on on in the world. Hey who's Gonzaga Plainton it they'll be like what wait a minute that wasn't

for that wasn't for all of it. I mentioned to Jim Nance you know earlier and I know the miracle on ice the the metal round that the U.S. beating the Soviets you know years later everyone's like well that was it they won the gold medal didn't they know that

he's Finland to get to win the gold medal the ball gets by Buckner Ray Knight comes in hands on helmet oh my gosh that into the world series well as a matter of fact there was a game seven and it was rained out the next night they had a way two nights so nuts. Oh Don Bouges got my ear Bartman the minute that Bartman grabbed the ball right that was forget about the fact that it didn't end the series there was an error there was an error after that because it extended an inning that an error after that was a should end it was like a double

double point ball right. So even if Bartman allowed Moses to catch the ball it didn't end the it wouldn't have ended the inning. It was never going to catch you know I mean like so so there's so many different ways in this world and Baylor has the ability to basically say okay Gonzaga just used up not only their mental but physical tank in a way that they didn't have to that's got a count for something and I don't you think. And that's something that Mark Fuse going to have to tell the guys.

I mean Al Michaels tells the story that that in in the you know not only did the U.S. not win the gold medal by beating the Soviets they they were down a Finland in the in the gold medal game.

They were down a Finland and they were down between you know the second and third periods. And Al Michaels tells a story that her Brooks I mean he cleans it up.

If you don't win this you'll take this to your graves looks these kids in the face what a great run. But if you don't finish it off you'll take this to your graves.

Do you say that if you mark few I mean that's pretty it's a different era now.

1980 to 2021. So that'll be an interesting aspect to tonight. And then we've been having this debate this entire show.

And we've been doing this before I mean this is it this is an old saw for you sir Chris Brockman. Yeah this is come back before and so you would rather knowing the outcome.

You would rather your team's going to lose you know your team's going to lose you would rather lose like Houston.

Then UCLA because you'd rather not have the what if I don't want a lifetime of what if and you also don't want to have the gutting moment where your hearts ripped out of you and you'd rather just

have the knowledge over two hours well that one was that nice run and by the end of the blowout loss you're already you know the wounds already cauterized as opposed to having an open festering wound for years to come.

And I say I'd rather do the other way I'd rather be UCLA in it all the way to the end having me on the edge of my seat I'd rather I'd rather see that I want a quick and painless and then towards the end of last hour

you're like the Buffalo bills are a perfect example would you rather be blown out in the Super Bowl would you rather lose with Scott nor would missing it.

Yep. And I would rather lose it's gotten or would missing it. And you would say rather fun. And so and here's my point here's my point to because it's more than just about what ifs it's about legacy it's about history it's about UCLA can build their program

off of something like this and you could be like well it's got nothing to do with no it does these are all things that go into it.

And plus sports makes it so that much sweeter when you've tasted bitter defeat. It makes it that much sweeter when it happens or potentially happens again and are you
