1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: This song, by the way, I believe, ranked by Rolling 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Stone is the worst song of the eighties. I find 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: it to be a complete banger. 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: To be honest with you, when. 5 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: They go to the traffic report halfway through this song, 6 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: I just turn it up and blow out the speakers. 7 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: Nothing like a little built This City Baby, Java House, 8 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: Peel and Poor guest Line. Java House multiple locations, including 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: in Lafayette, but you don't need to go into one. 10 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: For the best coffee.

Joining now on the gas 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: line is Brian Nubert of Golden Black and Friday Night 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: I'm at Dinner. I look up produces playing Kentucky in 17 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: an exhibition and they were down double digits. I think 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: as many as sixteen at one point when I looked 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: up and I thought to myself, are we worried about this? 20 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: Or are we like laughing at those that are? And 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: I thought, well, Brian would be the perfect person to ask, 22 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: so I bring them on the program. Brian, I'll ask 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: simply that with Purdue losing to Kentucky, are we worried 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: about that? 25 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: You dare speak ill of Jefferson's Starship. 26 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: No, I'm telling you that song's a banger, but it's 27 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: listed it's listed as the worst song in the eighties. 28 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: Now your toe was tapping there, be honest, right. 29 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: Oh, A little bit, A little bit to your question 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: about Kentucky. No, I think it was kind of somewhere 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: in the middle. You know, people people want to find 32 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: things to be concerned about when the A team is 33 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: number one in the country. But I think also people 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 2: are inclined to understand the moment and tend to laugh 35 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: at some of the overreactions. In fact, I see a 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: lot of media actually framing their coverage as overreactions. I 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 2: think that's just kind of the nature of exhibition games. 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: But Purdue doesn't prepare for these things. I told some 39 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: of Kentucky's media before the game that Purdue doesn't scout, 40 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: Purdue doesn't really fully prepare to win these games. It 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: just kind of go out there and play, and obviously 42 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: you want to win the game. I think it's it's 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: kind of misconstrued here that I'm saying that Purdy wants 44 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: to lose, but I think if they do lose, the 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: most important thing is they find positive to take out 46 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: of losing. But they concentrate on themselves right up until 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: game time and then they just kind of go out 48 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: there and play. I think it was evident both of 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: those teams took a different approach. I don't think anybody 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: wants to lose on their home floor. So I don't 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: think when when Arkansas did it a couple of years ago, 52 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: when Creighton did it, and obviously now when Kentucky did it, 53 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: I don't blame them one bit for fully fully preparing 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: to win those games. But Purdue is going to take 55 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: an opposite approach. Perdue. Matt Painter wants this to go 56 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: on the road, wants them to be pushed, wants them 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: to get their you know what kicked. As as he 58 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: will tell you, that doesn't necessarily mean he wants to lose. 59 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: He just wants his team pushed its breaking point, to 60 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: see what weaknesses there are and to have them experience 61 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: failure when failure should surface. So I don't think there's 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: really anything to anything to be concerned about. Kentucky is 63 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: bigger longer and more athletic than Purdue. That's breaking news. 64 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: That's been true for as long as basketball has been 65 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 2: played in the Commonwealth and in the state of Indiana. 66 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: But when you go back and look at the game 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: and all the discussion about how Kentucky's defense really gave 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: Purdue problems, it did. At times. Purdue only scored sixty 69 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: five points. But when you look at the percentage of 70 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: times they got the shot they wanted, it was astronomical. 71 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: Perdue missed wide open threes all day. Trey coffmanran missed 72 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: at least three or four, if not fives, in the 73 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: first half alone. He shoots sixty seventy percent on If 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: that's normal, Perty would have put up, would have put 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: up eighty eighty five points, and nobody would be saying anything. 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, myself included, are intrigued 77 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: by Daniel Jacobson just because of and it's unfair Brian 78 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Brian Nubert, our guests from Golden Black. It's unfair to 79 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: immediately say, well, they had Zach Edy, so here's another 80 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: big guy that can just dominate it. You know, there 81 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: might be more talent out of the box with Jacobson 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: than you had with Edie. That's not as slight at Edie, right, 83 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: but I mean Edie just his his growth was incredible. 84 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: What did you see from Jacobson against Kentucky in terms 85 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: of area of vulnerability and in terms of areas that 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: were of promise? 87 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's obviously not Zach Edy level physical presence 88 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: quite yet. I mean he's as tall as Zach Edy, 89 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: but he's not going to be as as powerful as 90 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: strong anytime soon, if not ever in his life. But 91 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: with Zach Edy, we're also talking about a kind of 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: a kind of a one of one guy here. The 93 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: thing about Daniel Jacobson now is his height and length. 94 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: The dunk and the block shot will be part of 95 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: what Purdue does it again this year after both were 96 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: noticeably absent all last year. Purdue was horrible last season 97 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: finishing at the rim. Purdue didn't block any shots after 98 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: Daniel Jacobson got hurt. They blocked like one a week maybe, 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 2: And if that, I think just having some rim protection 100 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 2: between him and Oscar Cluff, you know, it's going to 101 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: help them defensively. It's going to help their size is 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: going to help on the glass, and it Purdy becomes 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: a better rebounding team. That is going to make them 104 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: markedly better defensively, and it's going to make them better 105 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,679 Speaker 2: offensively too, because I think you're going to see Braden 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: Smith get into more transition opportunities which Perdue was really 107 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: good at last year but couldn't get into because they 108 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: weren't blocking shots, they weren't generating turnovers, and they're having 109 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: to fight like hell just to get deef rebounds because 110 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: they were so undersized. So I think Daniel Jacobson will 111 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: have an opportunity here, you know, to kind of keep 112 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: developing into a really really good player, but he'll also 113 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: be a major contributor this year. I think Oscar Kloff 114 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: has been the best thing that could have happened to 115 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: him because he's got a practice against this really physical 116 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: dude every single day. And when Jacobson's on the floor, 117 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: people are going to try to get into his chest 118 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: to soon to gate his length. They're going to try 119 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: to back him down, They're going to try to be 120 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: physical because when you're tall and you're still relatively skinny, 121 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: people you know, sometimes see you as a target. And 122 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: he's and now he's he's like two hundred and fifty pounds. 123 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: He's way better off than he was last year, but 124 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 2: he stole long and looked skinny, even though his definition 125 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: of skinny might not be necessarily necessarily reality. People are 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: going to test him physically and he's going to have 127 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: to be up to it. 128 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: They were out rebounded was Purdue and that exhibition against Kentucky. 129 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: I think it was like forty two thirty or someone 130 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: if I'm if I read that correctly. 131 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: How big a point rebound margin there? Well? 132 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, how big a point of emphasis was that? Or 133 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: concern after the game was that from Matt Painter? 134 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: Well, if you kind of look at the way the 135 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: game played out, I might be taking a little bit 136 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: of a different approach to this, but I think it 137 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: was a backhanded positive for Prettude defensively that Kentucky had 138 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: to shoot twenty nine threes. I don't know what Kentucky's 139 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: offensive identity is going to be this year. I don't 140 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: know if they know what their offensive identity is going 141 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: to be quite yet, because they're still down some guys 142 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: and whatnot. But when they have to shoot twenty nine threes, 143 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: you're not getting beat for rebounds at the rim every 144 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: single time, like Purtty was last year. You're getting beat 145 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: on some long rebounds, You're getting beat on some rebounds 146 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: that you just can't handle for whatever reason. So I 147 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: don't think it was the size and physicality in terms 148 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: of the rebounding like it was last year. I think 149 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: it was just the kind of the way the game 150 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: played out. But you can't really you can't really expect 151 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: to go in there and really really dominate Kentucky as 152 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: a rebounding team the way Purdy will probably dominate some 153 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: of these smaller teams, and they'll they will be right there, 154 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure, if not better than the Texas, Texa, the World, 155 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: the Iowa States, Alabama people like that. I think Purdy 156 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: is going to be a good rebounding team this year. 157 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: I don't. I think expecting them to be a great 158 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: rebound team is might be a little bit much. But 159 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: I think just getting to a good rebounding team, get 160 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: two or three putbacks a game, just don't have to 161 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: sell out completely just to get a defensive rebound. I 162 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: think it's going to make a huge difference for them, 163 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: and I think that that's going to solve a lot 164 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: of their problems from last season. It's going to make 165 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: them a much better team. I think Oscar Cluff is 166 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: going to be a great defensive rebounder. I think Daniel 167 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: Jacobson is going to help with his length. I think 168 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: the two of those guys combined, whether it's Jacobson or Kluff, 169 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 2: that Kauf mo Reenttz playing next to, I think their 170 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: blast radius is going to open up some opportunities for 171 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: tray Coff and Morn to become a better rebounder. He 172 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: says he expects to be a better rebounder. Produe says, 173 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: we expect him to be a better rebounder. I think 174 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: they're kind of challenging him to be, but I think 175 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: that stands to reason. You remember how many offensive rebounds 176 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: Mason Gillis used to be able to sneak into when 177 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 2: Zach Edy was occupying everybody around him, And I think 178 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: that that's kind of the extreme comparison there. But I 179 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: think tray coffin ren is going to have some space 180 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: to operate and some smaller people garden him, and I 181 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: think he can be a much better rebounder now than 182 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: it was before too. 183 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: Brian, do you find it difficult to remember whether or 184 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: not a certain era is Starship, Jefferson Starship or Jefferson Airplane. 185 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: They all run together to me, right. 186 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: No, because I think they sound distinctly different. I think 187 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: Jefferson Airplane sounds distinctly late sixties, and I think Jefferson 188 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: Starships sounds shamelessly eighties. 189 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: And built the city, though we agree, it is a banger. Right, 190 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: like you like it, you'll turn out. 191 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 2: I used to go to I grew up in New 192 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: Jersey and I had season tickets to the New Jersey Devils, 193 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: and we built this city. Was actually the song they 194 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: played for a while when they were skating out on 195 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: the ice before the game for warm ups, and it's 196 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: like forever, It's forever etched into my brain. So that 197 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: brought back a lot of memories of some very bad hockey. 198 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: You and Puddy up in the stands painting the chest. 199 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: I love it, man, just trying to support the team. 200 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. That's exactly right, man, it's the playoffs. 201 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: Brian appreciated as always, Man, we look forward to talking 202 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: to you again. 203 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, take anytime. 204 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: Brian Nubert from Goldenblack dot com. I love an obscure 205 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: Seinfeld reference from time to time. 206 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: Right,
