What the hosts said

LSportsCenter just posted on X: Valparaiso won at the buzzer in double overtime against Purdue.
MValpo? At Purdue? On November sixth?
LAt Mackey Arena, double overtime, 83 to 80. Valpo won it on a buzzer-beating 3 in the second overtime.
MWait, they had to get there first. Tell me they didn't hit a buzzer three to force double OT too.
LRakim Chaney hit one as the first overtime expired. Purdue gave up two buzzer threes at home.
MTwo buzzer threes? That's not a loss, that's a lightning strike.
LNo, it's a loss on your home floor to a mid-major. That sticks.
MIt's early November. Purdue will be fine.
LYou keep saying that. But this is exactly the bad loss the committee remembers.
MIf Purdue's on the bubble in March, this loss is not their biggest problem.
LThat's my point! They played like a team with bigger problems. They had no answer late.
MThey had an answer: Valpo hit two ridiculous threes. Sometimes you just get beat.
LTwo buzzer threes is not getting beat, it's failing twice in the same spot.
MSo you're blaming Purdue more than you're crediting Valpo?
LBoth! Valpo earned it, and Purdue blew it. That's why it's a story.
MAlright, Valpo earned the win. But I'm not burying Purdue in November.
LFine. Josh Abde replied on X, 'Valpo forced double OT and then beat Purdue at the buzzer.' Then he said, 'College basketball is already ridiculous.'
MThat's exactly what this night needed. College hoops in full chaos.
MEveryone wants to make one November loss a crisis. It's a long season.
LIt's not a crisis. It's a red flag. There's a difference.
MA red flag is losing big at home, not losing on a buzzer-beater in double overtime.
LThe red flag is they had the game won twice and couldn't close.
MThey had the game won? Valpo hit a buzzer three as the first overtime expired to tie it and force double OT. That's not closing, that's a great shot.
LGreat shot or bad closeout? Watch the clip. Purdue gave Chaney too much air.
MYou're going to coach closeouts from a highlight?
LI'm going to tell you what I saw: a guard with space at the horn. That's a mistake.
MSo every buzzer beater is a defensive mistake? Sometimes a kid just makes a play.
LTwo kids made plays. That's not a coincidence, that's a pattern.
MTwo plays in one game is not a pattern, Liam.
LIt's a pattern in one game, and that's enough to lose.
MFine. They lost. But the season isn't over. That's all I'm saying.
LAnd I'm saying if this happens in March, the season is over. That's the point.
MSpeaking of big nights, the NBA's account on X says Celtics star Jayson Tatum is filling it up.
LHow filling?
MAround 34 points through three quarters, along with some rebounds, assists and threes.
LThirty-four through three? Tatum is putting up a video game line.
MThat's the NBA's post. We're still waiting on the final box score to confirm the full line.
LDoesn't matter. He's cooking. Boston fans have to love this.
MI want to see if he finishes it. A big triple-double would be the headline.
LHe might sit if Boston's up big. That's the only thing stopping him.
MOr he stays in and chases the assist. Tatum's not exactly shy.
LAnd why should he be? He's the best two-way wing in the East.
MBest two-way? That's a crown you don't hand out on November sixth.
LIt's not one night. He's been doing this for years.
MDoing what, putting up numbers on a loaded Celtics team? That's easier than carrying a roster.
LOh come on, Boston is loaded because Tatum makes that work. That's a weird knock.
MI'm not knocking him. I'm saying best two-way is a high bar.
LFine, he's at the top of the list. If he gets the triple-double, we settle it.
MI'll be here. But I need more than a hot third quarter.
LYou need a notarized statement.
