at uconn. duke has been so synonymous, you forget before 1980 they had nothing so show before that. he creates this program where the best players in the country want to come, he wins more games than anybody ever has at the men s division one level. he goes to more final fours than anyone ever has at any level. he wins a bunch of national championships, and then ends his career on saturday night losing to his arch rival north carolina, which was an extra painful way to go out, but a great celebration for north carolina fans who have not liked him for 40 years. arguably along with john wooden, the greatest basketball coach who ever lived. i was going to say, lamire, you have john wooden and you have coach k. there have been a lot of great college basketball coaches but those two stand by themselves. eh. no, he sure is. i m one of the duke haters but
coach k is legendary. even bobby knight and others are a step below. he loses his last home game to north carolina, depriving them of a national title. it was a great, great game and sets up a terrific final tonight. unc seems to have a lot of momentum, magic going, but kansas is the number one seed. speaking of great coaches, bill self. do you guys know the history? i was watching the kansas game, and i don t know why, i ve been watching kansas win for years, kansas is just great. i asked myself and i m sure i will learn on twitter in about five seconds after i ask the question, how did a school from manhattan, kansas that s kansas state. see, i didn t need five seconds. there s your answer. didn t even need it. but from lawrence, kansas, how did a team from kansas, let me be more general about it, become
you have traveled so widely in ukraine over the last month owe sore, i ll let you speak in a moment, particularly about odesa and the reports we saw of attacks on the facilities. good morning. reporter: that is not a surprise. we were in odesa last week and it has been on putin s wish list. you heard president zelenskyy warning about it in first weeks of the war. we went and talked to the navy there, the civilians, we estimated about half of the city has left. the other half of the city is digging in and ready to fight. the entire city looks different from lviv, sandbag, military blockades everywhere, military checkpoints at every intersection. the navy has mined a lot of the city s white sand peaches. they tell us and we couldn t see it on the days we were at the beach, the russian forces in the black sea they blockades are coming in and out on a daily
supreme court. what a lot of people, other than probably jon meacham and those of us that grew up in the movement, don t realize is when dr. king went to memphis that day, he went because he had gone a few days before for the striking garbage worker. there were those who felt king was too moderate, that disrupted the march, there was a riot and somebody was killed. he came back to prove he could do nonviolent marches. sort of like the friction of those that are far left and those that say others are too moderate, he came back in because of the militants that disrupted and that s when he was killed. people forget that this in-fighting has always happened, and that s one of the reasons why we always have our convention of the national action network the week of dr. king s assassination to remind us the goals are there. i thought about this morning what dr. king would be thinking
community of nations. yeah, we can sit here and have a serious conversation about what, if any, prospects there were for a negotiated outcome before the events of the last few days. that space has dramatically shrunk. it is much smaller. let s talk about it more. we have to figure out how the war ends. we will be talking to a president of lithuania, a nato member, and the first country of the european union to completely cut off russian gas imports. as you saw richard haass is here, the president on the council on foreign lagss. host and executive producer of the circus on show time, msnbc s national affairs analyst john heilemann is here. msnbc contributor mike barnicle is at the table. also with us, pentagon correspondent for the new york times, helene cooper. good to have you all this hour. so we have to talk, heilman, we have a lot to talk about today but we need to talk about you first.
