JR Interview with Norchad Omier

Hey guys, this is Kenan Thompson. I have a problem with you. Yes, you. None of y'all told me that Auto Trader has millions of new and used cars that I can shop from home. I thought we were friends.

I put smiles on your face, but I'm not smiling. No one told me that with Auto Trader a dealer can deliver cars to my home or that I could shop by price on Auto Trader. No one. Consider this friendship that you just learned we had officially over. Finally, it's easy.

Auto Trader. The Miami Hurricanes beat the Drake Bulldogs 63 to 56. Joining us right now on CBS Sports Radio, Nor Chad O'Meara is joining us.

Nor Chad, congratulations on the victory, my man. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Appreciate it, man.

No problem. You were able to walk away from the game with 12 points, 14 rebounds. This was a close game all the way throughout. You guys came out on top. What did Coach Larranaga tell you at the end of the game to push you guys over the edge? You know, when we came in the locker room at halftime, you know, he told me that we marched, you know, everything that's in the tournament is really good.

You know, you got to give credit to Drake. They're a really good team. You know, just stick together. They're going to be adversity and you just got to stick together, trust your teammates and play the game. Nor Chad O'Meara is joining us from the Miami Hurricanes. They just beat the Drake Bulldogs 63 to 56. It was a tough loss just about a week ago in the ACC tournament to Duke.

How did you guys prepare for the tournament before heading up to Albany? You know, we just focus on Miami, you know, the stuff we do good because we know coming out here in the tournament, every team we play is going to be a good team. You know, they earned the right to come to March Madness. Every team in the tournament is a great team.

And the number 16 CDs beat Purdue number one season. You can't underestimate anybody. You got to come out play, you know, we prepare really good. We practice hard.

We practice physically, mentally, you know, just getting ready for any adversity, you know, get over it. Well, we know Kent State and Indiana, they're taking on each other right now. That will be your future opponent. What are you going to do between tonight and Sunday? You know, we're just going to watch film on whoever we've got to play because both of the teams are great teams. You know, you know, get ready for them. You know, practice a little bit and you know, just come and hoop on Sunday. I hear that.

Final question for you here Nolchad before I let you go. Transferring over from Arkansas State and now being a Miami hurricane. What has coaching or learning under Jim Larranaga and that system done for you?

It's great. You know, basketball is going to be fun too. You know, coming here playing for coach Larranaga, I have so much fun playing with my teammates, you know. It's just so much fun, you know, playing with someone that is like your brother. You win because there's no more fun than winning. So, you know, getting to visit them and like playing under coach Larranaga coach, chamber coach, Billy Courtney, I just learn a lot from them. I think they make the game slow down for me so much more. It's just fun playing for them.

Beautiful and I lied. I have one final question slash request. Everyone who's watching the hurricanes for the first time in March Madness, when they watch you guys on Sunday, what are they going to learn about Miami? You know, we love the game. We're going to stick together to adversity and we're going to play hard no matter what.

Hey, Norchad, good, good job. Congratulations this upcoming Sunday, okay? Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
