1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: You were listening to the Best of the Fan morning

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: show on ninety three five and one oh seven five

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,199
Speaker 1: the Fan.

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: Give me your thoughts some TKR game winning shot to

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: sing you guys to the Elite eight.

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 3: How cool was that?

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 4: It was awesome?

8
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 5: He saved my big time, So it was awesome.

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 4: He's such a good player.

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 6: Oh you gotta love it.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 4: He is. He's just such a good player.

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Oscar Cluff telling the truth there because I was thinking,

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: how in the world did you foul up three?

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 7: Oh?

15
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 4: Boy?

16
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: I mean boy, and then to make the free throw

17
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: actor that credit to the Texas.

18
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, though, for everybody, and not everybody for

19
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 4: TC who's whining and complaining about referee calls for going

20
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 4: for Purdue and hooking and holding and stuff all night.

21
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 6: Last night is a physical game all the way around.

22
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 4: And if you think that fifth foul that they called

23
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: on Cluff wasn't actually a foul, I mean he was

24
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 4: just straight up and trying to get out of the way.

25
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 6: So that was classic lean into a guy and draw

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 6: a foul.

27
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: I felt like it was bad positioning. I thought that

28
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: was a legitimate foul. I get the gripe of some

29
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: fans who are watching and saying, hey, Trey caufin Moran,

30
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: he's just falling all over the place. And there was

31
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: one on Cam Heidi that they called on the rebound

32
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 2: and I was thinking, boy, that's some great acting there

33
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: from TKR. But overall, I can't necessarily point to that

34
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: and say that's why you lost the game. I just

35
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: thought that Purdue was a more physical team, and the

36
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: winning moments where you had to have it, they made

37
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: it happen. And then you can say again, oh he

38
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: got it over with the pushing the back on the

39
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: put back.

40
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: Boy, this is game season.

41
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: The line you have position two bocks out, you fail

42
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: to do so, and you lose.

43
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 6: And look TC.

44
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: I love the passion, keep the passion coming. I love

45
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: the messages. But I'm just I'm never I'm not a

46
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: big blame the officials guy, unless you know, I go

47
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: back to some of the great baseball miss calls, if

48
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: you want to put it that way.

49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 6: But unless something is just.

50
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: Blatant, it's hard for me to complain too much about

51
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: what's going on. And you see what Trey Coffin did

52
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 4: on that last play. You see that on almost every

53
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: play in basketball all night long.

54
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So again, you had impati position. If you box

55
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: out hit the weight room a little bit throughout the offseason,

56
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: perhaps you all right have enough, you know, strength to

57
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: keep him off the glass there. And also, I'm not

58
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: absolving Sean Miller. You had a chance to have your

59
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: seven footer in the game to end it. You probably

60
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: didn't want him in the game because they could make

61
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: him switch onto a guard and you're afraid of him

62
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 2: getting blown by for a game winning bucket. But hey,

63
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: you roll the dice on having some r lineup and

64
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: then came back to bite you. So I can't really

65
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: sit up here and say that it was the referees

66
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 2: who decided that game.

67
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: Not at all in my opinion.

68
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: And then when you look at just the overall team effort,

69
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: I felt like a lot of different guys at their

70
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: moment Jeff where there was CJ.

71
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: Cox.

72
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: He got hot there outter on the first half and

73
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: made a couple of Mimbrings jump shots to keep him

74
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: in it. Braydon Smith again made some big time decisions

75
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: late in that game. Fletch, a lawyer, continues to have

76
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: one of the betting better shooting runs we've seen in

77
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: his career, and really in the country as late. I mean,

78
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: the guy just can't miss if you leave him open,

79
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: and then Oscar Cluff and others.

80
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: So I thought I was fitting though.

81
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: That Trey Coffin Wren had the game winning bucket because

82
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: in a quote unquote down year, because last year I

83
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: think he was what like second or third team All American.

84
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: This year he might have been like an Honora mention

85
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: for All American honors, but with the arrival of Kluff,

86
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: he had to take.

87
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: Not a back seat but a reduced role.

88
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: But we all saw it when they needed him the most,

89
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: that dude looked like an All American.

90
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: Uh, this is great A one of my favorite text

91
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: line names. Scarecrow. Sam says Trey Kaufman Ren's a better

92
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: version of Trace Jackson Davis.

93
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.

94
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: Jack is a pretty good I didn't have a problem

95
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: with Tray Jackson Davis.

96
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that one.

97
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: I think their games are different too.

98
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: I think all that person's doing there is the last

99
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 5: name is two words for both of those guys, and

100
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: I think that's the only comparison these like Kaufman Ran

101
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: Jackson Davis like. So I get that it reminds you

102
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 5: of them, but I don't know. I they both kind

103
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: of play similar I understand that, but yeah, I wouldn't

104
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: go that far.

105
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 7: I think they're both really good.

106
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 5: But I think that's it's funny they both have two

107
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: last names.

108
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: Harry, by the way, agrees with you, James thousand percent.

109
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 4: Foul on Clough in that last possession.

110
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a foul. You're out of position and

111
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: you don't. It's always funny when you see the players.

112
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: They'll can test with their arms kind of forward, and

113
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: then the player will go up through their arms and

114
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: they hold them straight up after the fact and it's like, well,

115
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: you didn't look like that two seconds ago when you

116
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: were making that decision.

117
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: But again, I think sometimes.

118
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: We can expect and I get that Preduer's experience and

119
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: they probably have been better in those like gay moments.

120
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 2: But these are college kids and it's always chaotic, and you,

121
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: I do think to an extent, unless you're just a

122
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: vastly dominant team, which we really have seen in college

123
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 2: basketball in recent years, where you're just so much better

124
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: than the other team, I mean, you come probably a

125
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, fits that description, but you need

126
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: a little luck in the tournament. So I don't think

127
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: you necessarily can sit here and say, oh, what it

128
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: could have should have and the better team lost. No,

129
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: the better team won. And that's just how I view

130
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: at this time of the year.

131
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 4: Well, keep them coming in because the text line is

132
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 4: on fire today.

133
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 6: We'll get to those as the day moves on.

134
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: And a couple of people have said, so if they

135
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: lose to Arizona, does the season still feel like a success.

136
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: This is what I always say. You start this season

137
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: with over three hundred and some teams, and I get

138
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: even of the sixty eight that get into the tournament, James,

139
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: how many legitimately have a chance to win a championship?

140
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 6: Ten?

141
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: Eight, six, Probably less than that. I'll go right five.

142
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: And here's the thing. Whether it was the National championship

143
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: game a couple of years ago, whether it was Carson

144
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 4: Edwards team getting nipped before they could advance any further,

145
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: there was a great team, like there are always four

146
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: or five teams that if they're playing their best basketball

147
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: and hot, they might just be a better basketball team

148
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 4: than you. Yeah, like Arizona. They're gonna play Arizona. My

149
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: guest right now is that Arizona in a seven game

150
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: NBA type series would probably win four games to two.

151
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say it nice and earlier. I'll pick Arizona

152
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: to beat for doing this game.

153
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: Too right now, unless Purdue plays its very best basketball

154
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: of the year.

155
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: Look, I'll be the villain. You feel free to boom

156
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: me off the air. But I think it's gonna be

157
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 2: a tough matchup for Purdue. But to your point, Jeff,

158
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: you get to this point of the season, anybody can

159
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: win it when you're in the lead eight. So I

160
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: look at it like an opportunity for them to really

161
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: try to stamp this senior year run. And I get

162
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: that the ultimate goals win national championship. A boy to

163
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: a game be forty minutes away from playing in the

164
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: Final four, basically in your backyard. You can't really ask

165
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: for a better opportunity than that, despite how the bracket

166
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: is kind of broken now set up here, as an

167
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: Illinois guy, I would much rather face Iowat to get

168
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: a chance to go to the Final four than Arizona.

169
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: But I mean, this is what you play for.

170
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: At some point you're gonna have to face a great team,

171
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: and I think that Arizona is a great team, not

172
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: a good team, not a hot team. They've been a

173
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: great team all year. So I'm excited for that matchup.

174
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: And again, if you're looking at Purdue as a whole,

175
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: you have to feel good about what they put on

176
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: display because I think that there's just multiple guys who've

177
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: shown that they've got enough mental fortitude to help you

178
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: get to this moment. It hasn't been like you a

179
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: few years ago. Not a few years ago. Boy, I'm

180
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: getting a little older. Several years ago with Stephen Curry,

181
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: where it was like one guy's going for thirty five

182
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: to forty and he's just carrying the entire team, and

183
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 2: it's like, if it slow him down, you have no chance.

184
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: With Purdue, it's always about balance, and you saw that

185
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: yesterday where every guy I thought had their moment throughout

186
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: that game.

187
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna speak for Purdue fans because I'm not

188
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: gonna act like I know what their standard is and

189
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: should be, but I do feel like with the way

190
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: this season was kind of teetering at times from being

191
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: really underwhelming, I think to rebound the way they have

192
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: in the past month and to get to this point

193
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: where you're, yeah, you're gonna go up against a great team.

194
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 7: We'll see what happens. I think that's commendable.

195
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: I think this senior class has accomplished a lot, and

196
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 5: I think to kind of rebound from where they were

197
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: kind of in those January months, I think is a

198
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 5: huge accomplishment.

199
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 7: So we'll see what happens.

200
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: Obviously, you'd like to get here, get to Indy next weekend,

201
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 5: but I think it's at a pretty good turnaround for

202
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 5: this group.

203
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: Well, they have won seven tournament games in a row,

204
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: four into Big Ten. Obviously, first couple of games is

205
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: a Big Ten. You're not playing the Titans, right, But

206
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: here's the thing. Michigan could very well win this entire tournament.

207
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: Who would be the last team to have beaten Michigan

208
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: in a tournament setting Purdue. Yeah, that's why I say,

209
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: as well as Arizona's playing as good as they looked

210
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: last night, we know that if Purdue plays its absolute

211
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 4: best basketball, they can certainly hang with anybody, and they

212
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: could probably beat anybody because Michigan was rolling when they

213
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: beat them in the Big Ten championship game.

214
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: So they get the Saturday night tip off.

215
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: You got Iowa Illinois at six nine and then you

216
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: got Purdue Arizona tipping off afterwards it says eight forty nine,

217
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: but we all know veterans of college basketball watching that

218
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: that will not be.

219
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: So that game took a long time to finish last night.

220
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: For for a game that started at sevent ten, I

221
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: don't think it ended until about nine five.

222
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 7: Its close to that.

223
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 5: We will, Hey, we will get the Luke Erdle playing

224
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 5: simultaneously with Produe's Elite A game.

225
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I guess I'll have to, you know, bring

226
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: a phone, make sure.

227
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: The phono if I make a mistake and all of

228
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: a sudden Luke Urtle goes in for a layup and

229
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 4: I accidentally say it's Braydon Smith.

230
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 6: You know what's going on? Oh boy, I know what's

231
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 6: going on.

232
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: Oh hey, make sure little Mount Vernon fans don't find

233
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: you afterwards.

234
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 6: Oh they will.

235
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 4: Somebody clip that for us.

236
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 7: Mark can use it on the show on Monday's.

237
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, and you've seen it already in your

238
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: year in the industry. We run fifteen hours a week.

239
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: You make two mistakes during those fifteen hours. That's all

240
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: anybody wants to talk about. That's how that works.

241
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to say this though, I want

242
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: to pivot a little bit to the NBA with Bennig

243
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: Matheren coming here tonight, first time playing in front of

244
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: this crowd since the trade. It's so interesting to me

245
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: the way in which he had to leave. And I

246
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: say that because this is a guy who, I mean,

247
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: a few months ago, was helping you try to win

248
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: a championship and I was it Game three, Caleb. I

249
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: want to say that he went off off the bench

250
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: and he won you that game. And you're thinking to

251
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: yourself at probably at that time, man, there's one of

252
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: your players in the future. And then things have changed

253
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: so much and you look the law Jam. You had

254
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: probably a shooting guard and is there a starting path

255
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: there with nim Hard there and Aaron Nesmith there as well.

256
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: So it's just an interesting career path for Benedict Matheren

257
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: because in most cases, a top six pick is going

258
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: to be there for years and years and years, and

259
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: it just didn't work out that way.

260
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: But now you're in a.

261
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: Position where I still think he's going to get a

262
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: lot of love when he comes back here because of

263
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: what he did here.

264
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: And is what three four years Yeah, and you.

265
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: Know that's one of the reasons when I look ahead

266
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: to the NBA draft and let's say the Pacers draft first, second,

267
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: or third and you start talking about a shooting guard

268
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: who's great, do you then select a guy that you

269
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: put in the same position you had Benedict Matherin in. Oh,

270
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: it's a great question, you know what I'm saying.

271
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 3: It's a great question.

272
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: That's why I feel like, even with the addition to Zuboch,

273
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 4: I still feel like if there's a boozer type for

274
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: a guy or a Caleb Wilson that you like, whatever

275
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: flavor you prefer, that might fit better.

276
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 6: With what the Pacer are trying to do. It's my point.

277
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: I literally, Jef.

278
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 5: It's a great point because I was literally talking to

279
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: somebody about that last night, like they kind of felt

280
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: like if Peterson, if that's who the Pacer went, it

281
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: would just be kind of.

282
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 6: Like it's Mathering all over.

283
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: It would be without maybe the defensive prowesse that that

284
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: Matherin gives you. But it's like, yeah, like it's kind

285
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 5: of the same type of fit in a way.

286
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 4: Because I kind of like the guards that they have,

287
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: I mean, of all the things they like. When Halliburton

288
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: comes back, Haliburton, Nemhart, Nie Smith, McConnell. I like those

289
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: guards and then you know you get Furfey back at

290
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: some point in time. That's that's a pretty good group

291
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: right there. Not saying you can't use another wing. And

292
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 4: if a guy, if you truly think, if you're if

293
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: you're Kevin Pritchard, you truly think this is a transformational player,

294
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: then you grab it. I'm not arguing against that, but

295
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: if you think that they are all kind of at

296
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 4: the same level, then I think I wonder if if

297
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: a Wilson or a Boozer just fit a little bit

298
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: even debounce it, if they fit a little bit better.

299
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I think the bands is the top my

300
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: big board I'm looking at, which is trying with NBA prospects,

301
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: but make a very good point, and I do wonder too,

302
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: like is it one of those things where you can

303
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: develop that player to play in your system better than

304
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: Beneting Mathern did, because Benedict was always I think, by nature,

305
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: more of like the one on one isolation score, whereas

306
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: with the pacers it's.

307
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: All about ball movement.

308
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, Benedict certainly was welcome and

309
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: sometimes you need a guy who was in the playoffs.

310
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: But at the same time, it's like, was the fit

311
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: always going to be what it needed to be here?

312
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: And do you think that fit could be better if

313
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: you just draft the guy, Because I mean, if you

314
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: think about it, if you draft somebody and you tell

315
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: them this is our system, they're not going to come

316
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: in and do their own thing. Whereas with Matherin it

317
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 2: was not necessarily him like going row, but they so quick, yeah,

318
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean not fat, they got they got

319
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: good so quick, Whereas his role had to change so

320
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: much because of how the team ultimately became with Halliburton.

321
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: So either way, like I said, I'm excited to see

322
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: him back in Gamebridge tonight. I think I'll get a

323
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: warm one welcome, especially compared to one of the other

324
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: guys who's returned to gabris shwoold House this year. And

325
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: if there's anything I love about Benny dig Mathern, it

326
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: is that he's the most confident man in the world.

327
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll never forget he called out Lebron James

328
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: before he played a game in the NBA and didn't flinch,

329
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: didn't blank. And he's had an incredible backstory too. I

330
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: don't want to get too deep into it because I'll

331
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: be talking forever. But his life story is amazing as well,

332
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: you know, with his his mom raising him and his

333
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: sister helped raising him as well, losing a brother when

334
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: he was young, and playing all over the world, and

335
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: now he's in a position where you know, he's at

336
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: a franchise. I think that believes in him like the

337
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Pacers did as well, but perhaps more of an opportunity

338
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: to fit his skill set.

339
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we will talk a lot about the Pacers as

340
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: they are back home against the Clippers tonight.

341
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 6: They second game in a row at home.

342
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: They lost to the Lakers the other night, But yes,

343
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: Benedict Mathern will be back in the building.

344
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 6: One of the quick thing.

345
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 4: When we're talking about the guards that the Pacers have,

346
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: when you look at Andrew Nemhart, is he the score

347
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 4: that Nemhart is on a consistent BA Maybe not, but

348
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: he can score, he can defend, he can play the point.

349
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: He'd even get his own share of rebounds. Tell me,

350
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: what is it that Andrew Nemhart is not good at?

351
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's been a really good player and.

352
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: Probably he's just so consistent.

353
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: Take another step forward this year because he's had more

354
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: of that lead guard role. But again, what does his

355
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: ceiling look like when you have Tyre's Halliburton back in

356
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: the lineup. That's probably the question I have, because he's

357
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: not gonna get the same on ball opportunities going forward.

358
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: But again, I feel like that's a good problem to

359
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: have going down the line, so I can't be too

360
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: upset about that. And honestly, you know, this Friday is

361
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: probably lot of fans they can get back to Purdue

362
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: and what they had going on last night, and or

363
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: about the Pacers and the ping pong balls later.

364
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, the Pacers play later on tonight, but Purdue. Again,

365
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: if you're just joining us, there's a reason. There's usually

366
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: a reason things become cliche, because they fit a situation

367
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: so well that you can't explain it any better. And

368
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 4: there is nothing better in sports that describes the NC

369
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: doublea tournament better than survive in advance. Purdue played really

370
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: well last night? Did they play their best? I don't

371
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: think they played their best. I thought they played really well.

372
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: I thought Texas might have played its best basketball, and

373
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: they've been playing it during this NC douablea tournament and

374
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 4: yet Purdue survives in advance.

375
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 7: Can I bring up my favorite moment?

376
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, my favorite moment from last night, And it was

377
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: just really before the game started coming down to the

378
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: m It's about four minutes to go, and like I

379
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 5: think Braiden Smith can like last two games, he can

380
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 5: probably still play a little bit better, but I thought

381
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 5: this was so emblematic of him as a player. It's

382
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 5: about four minutes to go, produce down two. They got

383
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 5: the ball and I don't know if you guys remember

384
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 5: this possession, but the shot clock was winding down. Braiden

385
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: Smith drove and he got stopped, and he was like pivoting, pivoting, pivoting,

386
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: shot faked like four time. Yeah, finally got the guy

387
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: up in the air and drew the foul and then

388
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 5: tied the game up with two free throws, like more

389
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 5: than the ISO layup with a minute to go or

390
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 5: even just getting a shot up late. Like I thought,

391
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 5: that is just like who he is and who he's

392
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 5: been in a Purdue uniform. And I thought that was

393
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 5: so big because I mean, like the game stayed within

394
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: a possession, like the whole way if Texas goes gets

395
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: a stop goes down and score there, like get to

396
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: the under four and they're up four, Like, I don't know,

397
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 5: it could play out differently. I thought that was just

398
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 5: a huge point in the game. And it's just who

399
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: he's been his whole career.

400
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought in general, they're so well coached and

401
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: they're so poised those seniors that have been around. And

402
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 4: then you added in an Oscar Cluff and you know,

403
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: Cluff had a play like that last night too, And

404
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 4: I forget when it was Caleb, but he had the

405
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: ball down low on the block and he just kept

406
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: like faking the pass, pump, fake, I'm gonna shoot, pivot,

407
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 4: keep it, and he finally got the ball to go in.

408
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: They are are incredibly disciplined when they have Like, you

409
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: never feel panic with that team, do.

410
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: You, James No, And it's mainly because they played so

411
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: many games together. They've been in so many situations. I mean,

412
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: how many teams left can say they have players that

413
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: have played in the Final four and in the National

414
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: Championship Game and have done it all together. And that's

415
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: what's so amazing about it. I know, my guy CJ.

416
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: Moore and Jeff Yuley had been on this point pretty

417
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: much for the last couple of weeks. But twenty two

418
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: hot major players have played all four or five years

419
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: at their same school, and three of them are with Purdue.

420
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 2: And you saw what those three did last night in

421
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: the big moments. Like I said, if Fletcher Lawyer getting

422
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: you off to the hot start, you're not in that

423
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: position if he doesn't make.

424
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: Those outside shots. Because for a stretch there, they couldn't

425
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: make a three.

426
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 2: I mean, they could not bite nine in was and

427
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: it was like the only guy who could make one

428
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: was Lawyer.

429
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 5: They hit their first two because there's Lawyer hit those

430
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 5: first two, and I think they went like two for

431
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 5: eighteen the rest of the way.

432
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: I think a row for that and then Lawyer broke

433
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: that string.

434
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 6: Finally it was right.

435
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 4: It never fails to was right after Brian had said, uh,

436
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 4: they've missed nine in a row. In the next possession,

437
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: I think Lawyer hits it again, right.

438
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so again, just a complete team effort and

439
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: an opportunity now to continue what has been a very

440
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: dominant senior class particklarly when it comes to the big ten,

441
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: but now in the NCAA tournament. So it will not

442
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: be easy against Arizona, But who cares. I mean, you

443
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: have a chance to go do something special. So I

444
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: don't think any of those guys will complain about who

445
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: they have to play at this point in the season.

446
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: I think it's more so about hey, we're still playing.

447
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 4: Also, we have a nice little meme of a guy

448
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: strutting into the room. That's JB. Whether lanois getting a

449
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 4: win last night.

450
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, for as stressed as I was watching

451
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: Purdue and not stressed to a true shout out to Greg,

452
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: but like and it's probably a Greg Pulley, my guy

453
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: shout out to him and his son Owen.

454
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: So I also congrets to Owen.

455
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: That owns that.

456
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, growing Pulley is gonna be calling Indiana State women's

457
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 2: basketball next year. I believe for that school sot him

458
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: for that opportunity. To them, we'll play, I'll play action.

459
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, getting back to Illinois, just for a second,

460
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 2: I thought that they really didn't stress me as much

461
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 2: as Purdue did.

462
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: That game was pretty.

463
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: Ugly in the first half, pretty tight in the first

464
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: half with Houston, but ultimately I think the Illinois side

465
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: and shooting just paid off and they are in no

466
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: want to say They're in the sweet sixteen or not sorry,

467
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: the Elite eight for the second time in three years

468
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: under Brad Underwood, and boy, they were bad when I

469
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: was in college, though he's done a great job turning

470
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: them around.

471
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: So where did the Honestly, I've seen Illinois play a

472
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 4: few times, not as many as you this year, and

473
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: they've certainly got athletes that can get it done. But

474
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: they clamp down in the second half defensively from the

475
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 4: highlights that I watched the smile. I watched one of

476
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 4: those extended highlights because I'll be honest with you, I

477
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 4: was not staying up until midnight to watch Illinois play basketball. James,

478
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: sorry about that, but I did watch a bunch of

479
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 4: it this morning. They played some pretty good defense in

480
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 4: that second half.

481
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: Real basketball lover stayed up.

482
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 4: Okay, Eliini alumni exactly.

483
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 3: So I'll roll with that.

484
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm excited for the rest of the tournament,

485
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: and I know we can probably get into it a

486
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: little bit on the other side, But I wonder how

487
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: loud that noise is.

488
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to harp on it too much. But

489
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 3: Ben McCallum.

490
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: Again getting Iowa to the Elite eight first time I

491
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: believe since nineteen eighty seven. He was hired a week

492
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: after Darren the Rees and now I don't know if

493
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: he came to IU, But boy, you look at where

494
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: those two programs are and what has changed in a

495
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: year or what has not changed, and you're thinking, maybe

496
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: things could have been different.

497
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 6: So I'm just curious.

498
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: If Iowa wins and gets to the final four, how

499
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: sweet is that for Caitlyn Clark. She doesn't even have

500
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 4: to travel anywhere. Man, sheouldn't even have to travel anywhere.

501
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: No, no, Caitlyn Clark gets what she wants in life.

502
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: Most of the time.

503
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: She may she may just try to rejet and go

504
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: off to see the Elite eight or the Elite eight game.

505
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 7: There you go.

506
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: Why not some of her highlights the other day from

507
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: March Madness, and boy man, she was it was different.

508
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 4: She is different, honestly. When they talk about shooting logo shots,

509
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: there were a couple of times and I've seen some

510
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: of those highlights and remember too, like one step over

511
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 4: the mid court stripe.

512
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they left me alone. I'll take it, boom boom.

513
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: She is an animal and we'll be seeing her this

514
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: summer thankfully. Now that CBA has been agreed to.

515
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,320

547
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: way next. I got another interesting question for Greg that

548
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with college basketball, and I think

549
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: you'll be interested in. We'll do that next ninety three

550
00:23:49,840 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: five and one oh seven five the fan. It's incredible, incredible.

551
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: I'm just glad that.

552
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: I'm glad that this team, all the work that we

553
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: put in, it.

554
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 6: An opportunity to go back and play in the Elite eight.

555
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: It's so special for.

556
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 4: The understated stoic Trey Kaufman Wren, he is so steady,

557
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 4: isn't he he is?

558
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: You see his reaction after the tip in well, after

559
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: they missed the three quarter court shot, he just looks

560
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: up to the sky and doesn't even do anything. His

561
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: teammates rush him and they're more excited to him, And

562
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, you just hit one of the biggest shots

563
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: in program history and you're sitting there like you're just

564
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 2: made a ham sandwich. But hey, he's one of the calmest,

565
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 2: smoothest operators in college basketball.

566
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 6: Did you say smooth operator?

567
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: Smooth operator?

568
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 6: Does that not lead us into our next guests?

569
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 4: Perfect?

570
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: Just a great, great human being man. Last weekend, the.

571
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: Great Greg Rakestraw joins us now on the Payless Liquors hotline. Craig,

572
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 4: did I see you snapping photos on your social media

573
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 4: feeds from the Great American Ballpark yesterday?

574
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 6: I did.

575
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of an annual tradition. My buddy Jason Hatfield

576
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: and I make it down to Red's opening day, and

577
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: in typical meat fashion, I have an event that ends

578
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: at like one ten in downtown Indianapolis. I literally have

579
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: my buddy Jason picked me up from in front of

580
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: gamebridge Field House and we are inside a Great American

581
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: Ballpark by three twenty.

582
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 6: So that was probably what about the third.

583
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Ending or so first pitch was four to ten.

584
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: Brother, you got four ten? That's what I was thinking.

585
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 6: Two ten?

586
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you think late in his life.

587
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: Gotchel was a bit of an issue last night, thankfully

588
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: beat the storms home and stuff like that. So there

589
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: was about forty five minutes spending the parking garage before

590
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: we could actually exit and make our way back towards

591
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: God's Country. It's man, I listened to the entire Purdue

592
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: game on the radio.

593
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 4: Nice all right, Well your thoughts on those last few seconds, Well.

594
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Just an amazing game. And again I'm not surprised by

595
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: t k are getting it done, or by his reaction

596
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: afterwards with what sixteen lean changes and being able to

597
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: survive for the uh uh you know, the the three

598
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: point barrage, the Texas hit, you know last night. So

599
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: good on Purdue and they are they are again. The

600
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: ultimate dream is the national championship. But so much has

601
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: been get to Indianapolis, who played the final four in

602
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: your backyard, and they're exactly one went away from doing

603
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: that rake.

604
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: When you look at Trey Kaufman ran in that tip

605
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: in what goes through your mind, especially someone like you

606
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: who saw his career before the Purdue days. I mean

607
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: looking at the what Silver Creek is where he would

608
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: squab believe, and right now he is not only a

609
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: Silver Creek legend, but he's a Burdue legend as well.

610
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 4: Correct.

611
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: And again I thought he certainly had the ability to

612
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: play at a Big ten level. I probably never forecasted

613
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: this for him in terms of what he has turned

614
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: into and the outstanding cure that he has had. It

615
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: shows you again the player development model that Matt Painter has.

616
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: And again he's a five year kid, you know, and

617
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: I know he had a hand injury going in to

618
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: his you know, his being his his red shirt freshman year,

619
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: his red shirt season. But kids don't do that anymore.

620
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 4: You know.

621
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: The idea of sitting for a year and not transferring

622
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: someplace is now a foreign concept four years later. So

623
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: the fact that he has been able to a have

624
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: the cure he has had, but be have the longevity

625
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: to stay there to accomplish this is something we're not

626
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: going to see very much of again, if at all,

627
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: from anybody.

628
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: Rig do you think he has a pulse, because I

629
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever see him react to anything.

630
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: There's always a player on each team that is like that.

631
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: And you need the guy that gets you fired up,

632
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: you need the zen center of the universe, and clearly

633
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: he is that for this team.

634
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 4: Greg Greg Sean joining us on the Payless Slickers hotline

635
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: right now, talk to me again. I know we've talked

636
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 4: about it over and over and over, but from your perspective,

637
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 4: just Matt Painter, you're in year out, the season is

638
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: teetering in February this year, and he pulls it all

639
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 4: together and they make this amazing run. Like, what is

640
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 4: it about him that he just always has his guys

641
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: ready for big moments.

642
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's his overall talent, it's his level of experience,

643
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: it's his perspective and way of thinking that again maybe

644
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 1: shows a bit more emotion than Trey Coffin Rehn, but

645
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: not a lot. But I also think it's also think

646
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: it's the it's the guys on the floor, and especially

647
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: you've got a group that that I think now as

648
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: we see what they have accomplished to this point in March,

649
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: might's been a bit of boredom. It might have been

650
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: just guys going, you know what, we know what matters

651
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: and the Big ten tournament. Probably they treated that more importantly,

652
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: maybe than even than I would have. But what what

653
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: has mattered has been the last three times you have

654
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: gone out and played on the floor, and and so

655
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: and and what's going to happen on Saturday I guesst

656
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: Arizona and hopefully what happens next weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium.

657
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: So I think there is so much of a've been there,

658
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: done that, and it and it you know, follows up

659
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: with what happened last night. When you've got guys who

660
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: have been playing to combine thirteen years of major college

661
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: basketball and stages like that that are on the floor together,

662
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: uh In Prey and Fletcher and Brayden, then you kind

663
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: of know what's important and what's not and you know

664
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: how to right the ship when things aren't going well

665
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: for you.

666
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: Rake, I want to pivot over to the high school action.

667
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: It should be some great matchups this weekend at Gamers

668
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: Field House. I'll start with the four A matchup Mount

669
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: Vernon Crown Point. What do you think of that rematch?

670
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Well, obviously I was there for the first one. I

671
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: think you might have been two oh yes, and it

672
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: was an outstanding game. I think what bodes well for

673
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: Mount Vernon Now I think it's a toss up. But

674
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: if you go back to the very end of the

675
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: Mount Vernon Crown Point game, it was game number two

676
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: of the day and Luke Rdle was kind of going

677
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: through it cramping up wise and had a bad night

678
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: with his jump shot. I think fatigue playing a fact

679
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: of that. Crown Point defensive played a factor of that too.

680
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, they are really good, but I

681
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: think the fact this is in game two of the

682
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: day helps Mount Vernon. In this scenario, Crownpoint is the

683
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: better team one through twelve, but the best player in

684
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: the game's playing for Mount Vernon. And so I've been

685
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: trying to think about this games where there was one

686
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: definitive star at the for a level and immediately, you know,

687
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: like Damon Maley nineteen ninety comes to mind, Eric Gordon

688
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven North Central comes to mind, And

689
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: those are two different results. You know, in the ninety game,

690
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: the star carried his team of the state title. In

691
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, the star he was the runner

692
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: up because he's played a team again had another NBA

693
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: player and each one more, you know, an NFL player

694
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: in K one short On el Garcia want to play

695
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: at Memphis on that East Chicago team. Crownpoints talent, it's good,

696
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not that level of good. But again, they

697
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: are truly one of the best teams in the States.

698
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: So I think that game is a complete toss up.

699
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: But normally I tend to air on the side of

700
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: which team has the best player, and there is no

701
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: question that guy is Luca to places from Mount Verda.

702
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've spent some time this week watching both teams.

703
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 4: Greg and I a Creig and yep lost the Well.

704
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm here, I got you. Sorry about that.

705
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: To your point, I've watched both teams a lot this week,

706
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: just getting ready for this game tomorrow night. And I agree,

707
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 4: like Luke Grdle can just take over a game. James

708
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 4: and I were talking about that off the air a

709
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 4: minute ago. But I will say this, and I was

710
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 4: a little surprised. I knew Crown Point was good, but

711
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: the Ken Bay Shaw is going to be a problem.

712
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: That dude can He's just a player. He's an athlete, man.

713
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's gonna go play at u C and there's

714
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: a chance that he goes to play at a higher

715
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: level after that. For those that don't follow Ui sed

716
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: are now in the Missouri Valley which was the ninth

717
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: best league in the country this year, and they won

718
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: nineteen games and they played in the NIT. So I see,

719
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty good thing cooking in downtown Chicago

720
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: to Kenny will come in and help them immediately. But

721
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: you've got he, You've got Mason Darrell going to Bellerman

722
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: of the Roads Twins. Kingston is going to go play

723
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: a trine. They've got some size, and again they will

724
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: play eight maybe nine Mount Verdon's more of the seven

725
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: maybe eight variety. So as a team, crowd point.

726
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: Is really good.

727
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: And again they have been building for this the last

728
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: three years. They have made the semi state final each

729
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: the last two years and lost to Fishers both times.

730
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: So this is this is a game of a moment

731
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: that this group has been building for for each of

732
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: the last three seasons.

733
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: Rake, I do want to mention the other matchups in

734
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: the state finals. We have bar Reeven Triden in the

735
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: Class A state championship, Park Heritage in Westview and Class

736
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: two A, and then you have Cathedral and New Haven

737
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: in three A. I want to go back to Westview.

738
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: I had a chance to cover a game involving them

739
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: years ago, and it was one of the cooler experiences

740
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: because I believe they had like an Homish crowd and

741
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: they had people coming in on you know, a horse

742
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: and buggy and all of that. So for those who

743
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: are maybe unfamiliar, can you explain a little bit of

744
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: their background and what their community might be bringing to game.

745
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: So frankly, we have two of the larger Amish communities

746
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: in the state that are playing in in state final

747
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: because bar Reeve is a smaller version of Westview, and

748
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: it is not surprising that both those teams are really

749
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: good given kind of the hard work culture that you

750
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: have in in those areas. Westview is the area east

751
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: of the the the South Bend, Elkhart and Mishawaka metroplex,

752
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: if you will. She's kind of ship Shawana Topeka, uh

753
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 1: And basically tucked up against the Michigan border. Uh In

754
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: in northeastern Indiana. Uh And and their top player in Austin,

755
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: Sleigh Bah is a kid that grew up Amish and

756
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: normally when that happens, you don't go to high school.

757
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: You go to school through the eighth grade and that's it.

758
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: Uh And And the joke has always been in Westview.

759
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: If all the Amish kids actually went to high school,

760
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: they'd be a three A school. They do, so, so

761
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: there are a two A school. Austin's family, a couple

762
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: of years before he got to high school, made the

763
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: decision that they were going to go. And I'm using

764
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: the air quotes here live the English way and not

765
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: the Amish way. And frankly, that also meant that you

766
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: had electricity in your house, you got a car, and

767
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: if you want to go to high school, you are

768
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: able to go to high school. And he did, and

769
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: that's a great thing for Westview because he's a really

770
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: good player. But yes, I'm not sure where the horse

771
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: and buggies get tied up, but you will see some

772
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: Amish folks in the crowd, more so on the west

773
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: View side than the bar Reefs side. But those are

774
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: two of the larger Amish communities we have in the

775
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: state of Indiana, and both of them are sending their

776
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: high school basketball teams to state final games tomorrow.

777
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what rake I remember.

778
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: I want to say all that North Judson when Westview

779
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: might have played and drained years ago, and I'm gonna

780
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: missing it. Mixing up the teams, but they had some

781
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: of the cooler chants. It was like whistling and like

782
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,959
Speaker 2: his foot stomping and stuff, and.

783
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was unique to me.

784
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: I did not, you know, know anything about it, but

785
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: I've learned a lot since saying I'm looking forward to

786
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: how again. You know how his brother basketball brings a

787
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: lot of people together, so it should be a lot

788
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: of different backgrounds and whatever else in the field House

789
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 2: for some great matchups.

790
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: To see the west view. Whistler's name is Dan Biler.

791
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: I believe he's sixty one, and he actually missed some

792
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: games this year. I think because he was on a

793
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: religious trip. I believe he will be back. I have

794
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: confirmed he will be at the state finals. So okay,

795
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: even though that's not my broadcast, I joke. I'm like,

796
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get him some camera time on the

797
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: telecast during the two A game.

798
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 4: And I will see you tomorrow night at the Fieldhouse.

799
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a lot of fun that you will, yes, sir,

800
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 4: Hi buddy Greg Raigstrow joining us to the paylst Slickers Hotline.

801
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: Any other thoughts on the way out for the weekend.

802
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: Nah, I can't believe that you know, the high school

803
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: basketball season, it flies by every year. I think from

804
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: a high school standpoint, these are games fifty four and

805
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: fifty five of my season. I have not counted up

806
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: the college games yet, so I'm probably somewhere around the

807
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: eighty to eighty five range for the year. So my

808
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: NBA level season comes to an end tomorrow night at

809
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: Gamebridge field House.

810
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 3: Job well done, Rake, job well done.

811
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate that. Thank you all right, buddy, We'll

812
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: talk to you soon. Have a good time.

813
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: See you.

814
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: Fellas the great Greg Rakestraw.

815
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 6: Like, who's got a better life?

816
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 4: Like if he's not going to a Notre Dame basketball

817
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 4: game with Kevin, he's going to a Reds game with

818
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 4: his buddy, or he's calling a state championship, or he's

819
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 4: just being Greg Rakestraw, that's not a bad way to

820
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 4: go through life.

821
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 7: Yeah.

822
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: I saw Rake last weekend at Newcastle, had a chance

823
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: to talk to him, and it's always great when I'm

824
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: in the building with him and Kyle neden Rip.

825
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: I see those two, I'm in the right spot for sure.

826
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: And so, like I said, I will be at the

827
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: Fieldhouse tomorrow all four games.

828
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 4: Me and Caleb.

829
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 2: We're going to catch a three a game together, so

830
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: it'd be fun. So if you see either of us,

831
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: come say what's up.

832
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,960

00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: We do, we do?

Speaker 6: You know. I'm telling you, Caleb, you've been. You've been

838
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, even before I came to Indianapolis, I

839
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 5: always said, you know, because I had been a few times,

840
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 5: and I would said, like, there's not a bad seat

841
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 5: in there. Man, I really, I really love it. It's

842
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 5: We're blessed to have this here in this city. I

843
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 5: think it's a good place and I'm excited to just

844
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,400

845
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,799

846
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,359

Speaker 5: off as a as a permanent resident of Indiana.

848

Speaker 6: out of the rack this week?

862
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: I imagine it's probably not.

863
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 4: That probably like seven, Yeah, sleep.

864
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: Because he's got young kids. And kids are always up

865
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 2: from what you all tell me so.

866
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 4: Well until they get to be high schoolers, and then

867
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 4: then you can't get a matter of fact when they

868
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: get to high school.

869
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 2: See you know again I question my parents your responsibility

870
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: and raising me and my sister because it sounds like

871
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: the stuff that you you allow your kids to get

872
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 2: a full night's rest and perhaps into the next day.

873
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 4: It depends on what they got going on.

874
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: Boy, my mama would be like you getting up, you

875
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 2: ain't about to sleep the half half this day away.

876
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 6: But they usually have stuff around ten or eleven in

877
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 6: the morning.

878
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 4: But I mean you also, we have also learned that

879
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 4: kids to be healthy need a lot of sleep.

880
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, see my MoMA. You know again laurna boy for listening.

881
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: You need to subscribe to the jeff Ricket theory of

882
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: sleep and rest because I.

883
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: You ten am was not being seen by me.

884
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 5: Hey, especially on a Saturday. My dad come coming in

885
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 5: seven thirty. I got plenty of yard work that needs done,

886
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 5: go up and at them.

887
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 6: I would worry more.

888
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: Except true story, I don't think either one of my

889
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 4: kids has ever given me any trouble.

890
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 6: Like if I ask him to do stuff.

891
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 4: They just do it.

892
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 3: No, that's good, No, that's good.

893
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 2: He's just when you do it, because boy, you know,

894
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: clean the room, clean, the clean the bathroom, clean, this

895
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: clean net. It was never a choice of when I

896
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: wanted to do it.

897
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 4: Never.

898
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 6: They have plenty to do. Believe me, they're not just

899
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 6: laying around and doing nothing.

900
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: I trusted this.

901
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 4: So anyway, here we are Purdue surviving and advancing, and

902
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 4: I know a couple of people have if we've had

903
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 4: a few really big time Purdue people are like, you're

904
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 4: not giving him enough love. We've had people saying you're

905
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 4: giving them too much.

906
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 6: They got lucky the referees.

907
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you can truly see the division of boiler

908
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: makers and hoosiers on the on the text line, and

909
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: I'm guessing the people who just hate that we're talking

910
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 4: about you today are hoosiers. And if we're not saying

911
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 4: enough complimentary things about the Boilers, then it's the diehard

912
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 4: Boiler fans. They're just like I got in trouble on

913
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 4: one text because I was giving Texas credit.

914
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 6: They played a good game last night and Produce still won.

915
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when it comes to Purdue, I just

916
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 2: can't chalk up that sort of win to luck.

917
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 6: It is any win, man.

918
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: This is a Kentucky with the banked in shot against

919
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: Santa Clara Send it's an overtime and you're thinking that

920
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: guy will never make that shot in fifty tries. Whereas

921
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: that game last night, the tip in that, to me

922
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: is a play that you might see throughout the game,

923
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: and it just happened to be a very smart way

924
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: of going about it, because in theory, you can shoot

925
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: it at the buzzer and just go to overtime and

926
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: no harm, no foul, But to shoot it a little

927
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: bit early, early enough to get a tip in, but

928
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: also not early enough where they can get the ball

929
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: and drive down the court and get a legitimate look

930
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: was great IQ great basketball, And I thought the late

931
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: game execution and just a mental fortitude was very good.

932
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you go from the high of we're up three,

933
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: with what a few like twenty seconds to go, whatever

934
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: it is, Oh my god, we give up an and one.

935
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he made the free throw, We're tied,

936
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: and then you come down and you execute again to

937
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: make just one more player than the other team. So

938
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 2: hats off to Purdue for advancing and Trey Coffin wren

939
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: a beast. I think you started the game, what seven

940
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: to seven from the field.

941
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 4: It just couldn't get perfect. Look. I'll say this, you

942
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 4: take a look at the three big scores last night

943
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 4: for Texas, and you had twenty nine from treymond Mark

944
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 4: playing on a bad ankle. You had Jordan Pope scoring

945
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 4: twelve on a broken foot. You had Dalon Swaine who

946
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 4: had fifteen points and nine rebounds. They were all terrific.

947
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: Trey Kaufman Wrenn was the best player on the floor

948
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 4: last night. Yeah, as well as they those other guys played.

949
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: Trey Kaufman wren was the best player on the floor

950
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 4: last night.

951
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

952
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: And it is cool to see the Purdue guys again,

953
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: a lot of homegrown talent there, and Trey coff memory

954
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: and Braden Smith. Fletcher Lawyer, I know, isn't like home groundable.

955
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 2: He moved from Michigan to Indiana midway through high school

956
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: but still played high school ball here and see them

957
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: on this stage, that has to be quite the moment

958
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: for that trio.

959
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a fun game to watch.

960
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: If you're a Purdue fan, I know you would have

961
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 4: liked it to not be so close, but every time

962
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 4: they needed to they answered. You know, I talked about

963
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 4: the beginning of the second half when Texas got on

964
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 4: a little bit of a run there and Purdue shut

965
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 4: it down and slowly not just got back into the game,

966
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 4: but kind of felt like they were.

967
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 6: The better team.

968
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely like it did not surprise me at all at

969
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 4: the end of that game the Purdue got the win.

970
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 6: It just felt like ultimately it would turn their way.

971
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 2: Boy, and it did. I mean, there were some dicey

972
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 2: moments there. I can I set up here and say

973
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: I was confident throughout the entire game, but I figured

974
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: it'd be close.

975
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 4: All right, let's check it down on to another Elite

976
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 4: eight for Purdue. After a tip in gets the win.

977
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 4: Last night seventy nine to seventy seven in a Sweet

978
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 4: sixteen game against Texas out in San Jose, Trey Kaufman

979
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 4: Wren got a tip in with less than a second remaining.

980
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 4: And it's fun to listen to all the postgame comments

981
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 4: and read the guys talking about that play at the

982
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 4: end last night because the amount of preparation going into

983
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 4: that final sequence of events, where Matt Painter was talking

984
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 4: about the fact like, hey, look, whoever gets the shot off,

985
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 4: I don't want anybody protecting and getting back on defense.

986
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 6: I want everybody going to the bucket.

987
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 4: Whoever goes and takes that shot. I want the other

988
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: four guys crashing the boards. Trey Kaufman Wren put himself

989
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 4: in position. However you want to define that, you can.

990
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 4: You can argue about that all you want. He did

991
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 4: what he did. He got the tip in, they got

992
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 4: the win, They advanced to play Arizona.

993
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so forty minutes from a trip to the

994
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 2: Final four, right in your.

995
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 4: Back, many they got it done. Seventy nine seventy seven.

996
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: Big night for Trey Koppin. We talked about the fact

997
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 4: that he had twenty points in that game last night

998
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 4: along with nine rebounds.

999
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 6: He was terrific.

1000
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 4: Fletcher Lawyer at eighteen points, Braden Smith sixteen points. It

1001
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 4: was enough to offset the Tremont mac twenty nine points

1002
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 4: in the big game from Dylan Swain. And they will

1003
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 4: advance now to play the Arizona Wildcats because Arizona last night.

1004
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 6: Man, did they.

1005
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 4: Put a just a physical beating on Arkansas last night.

1006
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 4: They scored most of their points in the paint and

1007
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 4: they racked up one hundred and nine points in a

1008
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 4: one on nine eighty eight win.

1009
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty special there, I mean, just dominant

1010
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: all around. It ends the season of Darius Acov junior,

1011
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: but hey, he had a great, great run as a freshman.

1012
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so they will play Arizona next. You said

1013
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 4: the start time for that on Saturday night.

1014
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 3: Is looking right now.

1015
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 2: Start time for doing Arizona is eight forty nine pm,

1016
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: although we know when it's that Secon game, typically you're

1017
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 2: waiting a little bit longer, So get the coffee browin

1018
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: if you have to. But I imagine with it being a

1019
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 2: Saturday night, we'll be amped up all day for that one.

1020
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: In the South region, it'll be Illinois taking on Iowa

1021
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 4: because the Ili night gotta win over Houston sixty five

1022
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: fifty five last night, doing it with a lot of defense.

1023
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 4: But that's right now, Illinois is a team that could

1024
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: beat anybody.

1025
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: It looks like, James, Yeah, beat the breaks off Houston

1026
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: and Houston. You know, shout out to Calvin Sampson and

1027
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: that crew of Kingston Flemings. You'll be great in the NBA,

1028
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: but couldn't hang with the big boys of Illinois. And

1029
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: jokes aside, and I'm being a little bit of a

1030
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: jerk right there, but I think that Illinois, the sides

1031
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 2: and shooting is why they have a chance to go

1032
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 2: pretty far still in this tournament.

1033
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: Well, Iowa beat Nebraska seventy seven to seventy one. Iowa

1034
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 4: did have a lead late at Nebraska helped them out

1035
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 4: a little bit too.

1036
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: James, Yes, I think it was Jaylaw here on the

1037
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: text line. He was saying, if Nebraska needs a sponsor ship,

1038
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 2: they should get one with five guys. Great, great dig

1039
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 2: because for those who are a little confused by what

1040
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 2: that means, in Nebraska only had four players on the

1041
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: court when they were down three with about five minutes ago,

1042
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: and because of that, I would just threw the ball

1043
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: down the court and got a layup and that made

1044
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: a two posession game and they all go on a win.

1045
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jayla, I hope you're feeling well today.

1046
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 4: That is an outstanding life hilarious right there, all right.

1047
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 4: Later on tonight it'll be Saint John's taking on Duke

1048
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 4: at seven ten. Alabama goes up against Michigan at seven

1049
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 4: thirty five, and Michigan State will play Yukon at nine

1050
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 4: to forty five, ten ten, late late game, Iowa State

1051
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 4: taking on Tennessee, and then we will have a full

1052
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 4: field of the Elite eight. And it's possible if both

1053
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 4: Michigan and Michigan State win, it's possible you have five

1054
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 4: of the eight in the Elite eight from the Big ten.

1055
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: James, Oh, absolutely, so, just real quick, what game tonight

1056
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: grabs your attention to most?

1057
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: I think Saint John's Duke, I you know, Rick Patino

1058
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: against this incredibly well put together Duke team. Question is

1059
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 4: how healthy is Duke going to be? They might get

1060
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 4: Foster back for this game. They've talked about that a

1061
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 4: little bit, but what do you expect for a guy

1062
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 4: that's been out after foot surgery?

1063
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 3: Man, that's a good point, how about you, Caleb.

1064
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, And just to your point, Jeff, a guy that's

1065
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 5: been out with foot surgery and then has to play

1066
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 5: that Saint John's defense and those those guards that are

1067
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 5: gonna get up in his grill, that'll be tough.

1068
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 7: The dream is that Duke.

1069
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 5: Wins and then I get to you know, I'm doing

1070
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 5: Indiana Sports Talk tonight and get to kick my feet

1071
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 5: up and have the Yukon MSU game on the TV

1072
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 5: and just kind of watch that on fold. I'm excited

1073
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 5: for that one.

1074
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 4: That's the one I called yesterday the good old fashioned

1075
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 4: rock fight game, right.

1076
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that could be one of them. I

1077
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 2: guess there's be different from the crowd. I'll go Alabama

1078
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 2: Michigan because Alabama they shoot so many threes and they're

1079
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: kind of similar to Houston, where if they miss them

1080
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 2: then it could be a blowout. But if they make

1081
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 2: those three pointers, it could get interesting against Michigan.

1082
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 4: All right. So that's just happening in college basketball and

1083
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 4: the NBA. The Pacer back in home the night to

1084
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 4: host the Benedict Matherin led Los Angeles Clippers. The Clips

1085
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 4: just a half game ahead of Portland for the West's

1086
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 4: eighth playoff spot, so they're trying to win as many

1087
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 4: games as they can. Benedict Mathern of the course of

1088
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 4: the season for both the Pacers and the Clippers combined

1089
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 4: eighteen and a half points and five point six rebounds

1090
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 4: a game. He is really finding himself in LA too.

1091
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely more of a scoring opportunity, and they're asking

1092
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: him to do a lot more of that in that uniform.

1093
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: So I'm sure he'll get some shots up tonight for sure.

1094

Speaker 2: It should be a great welcome for Ronald nored and

1125
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 2: personally as someone who got to know him pretty well

1126
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 2: over the years when he was a Painser's assistant.

1127
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 3: Couldn't be happier for him and his family.

1128
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 4: All right? Coming up in a moment, Moron produced big

1129
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 4: win last night at the Elite eight against Texas we'll

1130
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 4: do that. We'll take some of your comments on the

1131
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 4: fan text line at two, three, nine, ten, seventy and

1132
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 4: Caleb Zuver's in the hot seat today.

1133
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 6: That's next ninety through five and one seven.

1134
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 3: Not only gets now went down.

1135
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 4: Just a really good college game.

1136
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 5: But thought I thought Texas was fabulous, and I thought

1137
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 5: our three seniors here really hung in there, and I.

1138
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 4: Thought we got good effort off our bench. You know,

1139
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the show, when I was talking

1140
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 4: about I thought Texas played a really good basketball game.

1141
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 4: I got some pushback from some Boiler fans saying, oh,

1142
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 4: you got to be talking about Purdue. But Matt Painter

1143
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 4: said it best right there, and I said that as

1144
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 4: a compliment, because if Texas is playing a really good

1145
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 4: game and Purdue comes up with the win, that's a

1146
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 4: compliment for Purdue. Purdue did what they needed to do

1147
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 4: to win that basketball game last night, survive in advance.

1148
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 4: They made big plays when they needed to, and Trey

1149
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 4: Coffin Wren was the best player on the floor.

1150
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: Caleb, would you say he was a survivor.

1151
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 7: He's not gonna give up.

1152
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 3: Shout out to Beyonce.

1153
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 6: Uh huh.

1154
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 3: Yonce as my sister said.

1155
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 4: Look at the range from the begs to Beyonce for

1156
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 4: you today.

1157
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 6: Huh.

1158
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 2: Come on, Caleb is an old soul. You know he

1159
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 2: knows how to do those ones and twos back there.

1160
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 2: But to your point, Jeff, yeah, it was a good

1161
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 2: Texas team. They gave Purdue quite the punch and a

1162
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 2: few punches throughout that game at certain times. And again

1163
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 2: I go back to the poise of the moment, and

1164
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 2: I probably was a little bit too critical of Braden

1165
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: Smith throughout the show or earlier in the show, and

1166
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 2: I meant, like, I've seen him play so great that selfishly,

1167
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, is there more? You know what I mean? Like,

1168
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: I know you uh have done great things already, but

1169
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: is there more? And I will give him this, late

1170
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: in that game, I thought he made pretty much every

1171
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 2: right decision you could, whether it was from you know,

1172
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: getting down hill I don't get to steal late in

1173
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: that game, or in the second half for the layup,

1174
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: and you know, whether it was going to the basket

1175
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 2: that one time, Caleb and Pump faking three times, get the.

1176
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 7: Guy favorite play from last night, get.

1177
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,240
Speaker 3: Off his feet and get two free throws there. Even

1178
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: with the drive that it got blocked.

1179
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: And they were viewed it for a long time and

1180
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 2: it went out about I thought that was the right

1181
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 2: play in the moment, So sat the Braden smith Man,

1182
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 2: one of the best closers in college basketball and someone

1183
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 2: who continues to write a great, great final chapter of

1184
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: a great, great career.

1185
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: Go to the fan text line two through nine, ten seventy,

1186
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 4: Arex says, appreciate the Boiler love today.

1187
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 6: Key stats.

1188
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 4: Last night out rebounded Texas by one only four turnovers.

1189
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 4: For the Boilers must hit ten plus threes to be competitive.

1190
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 4: Saturday night, they hit their threes and do a nice job.

1191
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 6: Again. You made this point earlier.

1192
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 4: One of the things that Produce had been really vulnerable

1193
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 4: to this year is opposing three point shooting, right, and

1194
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 4: Arizona's not known as a three point shooting team, and

1195
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 4: they didn't last night.

1196
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 3: Well, I'll go out and say this as a hot take.

1197
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 2: I think someone else has to make a three other

1198
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: than Fletcher Lawyer for him to win.

1199
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 4: I get I think CJ. Cox could be that guy. Yeah,

1200
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 4: I mean four for twenty was rough. Was rough.

1201
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: Let's just survive that. You deserve credit for it. But

1202
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: that's what I mean as well. I mean Braden Smith,

1203
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 2: oh for three from downtown CJ. Cox, oh for four.

1204
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 2: You need someone else to make those shots? Omar Meyer,

1205
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 2: oh for four? Can you get somebody else to make

1206
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: those types of shots, because I think you'll need them

1207
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: against a team like Arizona that just really there. They

1208
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 2: bully you on the glass in the paint, and they

1209
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 2: don't shoot a lot of three. So what's your greatest

1210
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: equalizer or your advantage is your ability to knock down

1211
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 2: the long ball?

1212
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 4: Justin says Purdue is yet to play their best game

1213
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 4: in this tournament.

1214
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 6: They're gonna need it against Arizona.

1215
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 4: They have to have it special games from Fletcher, Braden

1216
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 4: TKR and Klef Daddy, there we go, boiler up or

1217
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 4: boiler down, whatever you want to do, is what he said.

1218
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 6: So he is, he's right though, They're all.

1219
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 4: Gonna have to play there one of their best games

1220
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 4: to beat her. And look from this.

1221
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 2: Point on, Hold up, hold a hold up. What was

1222
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 2: was cluff daddy? You or him talking?

1223
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 4: That's him cluff daddy, He says, I was just.

1224
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 2: Making sure you won't put a little razzle dazzle on there. No, no, no,

1225
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 2: it's Auscar Cluff cluff Daddy, that's a new nickname.

1226
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 4: But to his overall point, look see lead eight and

1227
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 4: then get to the final four, then you get to

1228
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 4: the championship game. These are no joke teams that you're

1229
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 4: playing at this point in time. Man, No, this is this.

1230
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 6: Is the real deal.

1231
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 4: This is this is what it turns into. Because if

1232
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 4: you happen to beat Arizona next, you probably get a

1233
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 4: date with I don't know, I was stayed at this

1234
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 4: point in time.

1235
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 3: I think so.

1236
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 4: And then if you win that, you probably get either

1237
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 4: your line or maybe Duke who knows.

1238
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just got to get through this first one,

1239
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 2: though they can't. I feel like I'm always like a

1240
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 2: coach in that mindset. Well, I don't want to look

1241
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 2: too far ahead because, unlike someone else who ditched the

1242
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 2: show this morning, Kevin Bowen, I said, it's gonna be

1243
00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 2: a close game now.

1244
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 3: He told me nervous.

1245
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 2: He told me that, you know, Texas was he did

1246
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: eleven seed and they had lost five or six going

1247
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: into the tournament.

1248
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 3: And don't get to worry about it.

1249
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 4: I would like him to.

1250
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 3: Go to the final few seconds, Caleb, but it's tied up.

1251
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 5: I would like to know I wish he was here, man,

1252
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 5: because I would like to know what was going through

1253
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 5: his mind.

1254
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 3: He had to be nervous his mind. He was waiting.

1255
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: He was hoping that they pull it out because they've

1256
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 2: had they not. Oh, I would have secured him here

1257
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 2: on the show.

1258
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 4: Now, you both missed the setup. But Kaylen, I'm really

1259
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 4: or Caleb, I'm really disappointing you. I said, I know

1260
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 4: Iowa State next dismissing Michigan altogether expecting. I was expecting

1261
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 4: to get a little pushback out of you, But I

1262
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:37,959
Speaker 4: didn't hear anything there.

1263
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing Michigan go down, But

1264
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 5: do I think it's going to happen.

1265
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 4: No, Michigan is likely who they would play now. Yeah,

1266
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 4: but I was hoping to get a little pushback from

1267
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 4: somebody on that.

1268
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 3: Nah, push it back on Kevin Bone.

1269
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 6: You got to you got to prioritize your pushbacks, is

1270
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 6: what you said.

1271
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 3: Man, I feel like he duck in the smoke break

1272
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 3: is with the family.

1273
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 4: Okay.

1274
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could have watched Nelly today. I could have

1275
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 2: held it down.

1276
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 6: How are you?

1277
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 4: What are your swaddling skills these days?

1278
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 3: Hey? You can learn anything on YouTube. Okay, that's all.

1279
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 4: You know what you can't here's what you cannot learn

1280
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 4: on YouTube. And every father listening right now knows exactly

1281
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. You will have your mind blown

1282
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 4: on how much waste a ten or twelve pound child

1283
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 4: can create all at one time. It is unfathomable at times.

1284
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 3: That took a turn.

1285
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just pointing out everybody who's been a father

1286
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 4: because you said you could, you could learn it on YouTube.

1287
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 4: That's the one thing you can't learn on YouTube.

1288
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, call me when everybody's potty trained. For

1289
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 2: the Mark Dykethan and Kevin Bowen and company of the world.

1290
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 6: It's the fan morning. See that right there.

1291
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 4: I'm doing my best to keep you guys single and

1292
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 4: childless for as.

1293
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 6: Long as possible, right, I appreciate that.

1294
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 4: Man, Here we go, all right, So we'll keep checking

1295
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 4: the text line as the day goes along.

1296
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 6: At two through nine, ten seventy.

1297
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 4: I'd mentioned a moment ago that this morning, the NBA

1298
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 4: has released three potential plans to combat tanking in the future,

1299
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 4: and some of them get into the weeds.

1300
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 6: Quite a bit.

1301
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at this for the first time, jet

1302
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 5: like I feel like a lot of this is hard

1303
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 5: to figure out.

1304
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know.

1305
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 2: Take that one because I'm trying to read it during

1306
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 2: one of the breaks and I'm working for you than

1307
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 2: when I didn't read it well.

1308
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 4: In the first proposal, sham Sharanya says that it would

1309
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 4: feature eighteen teams. Eighteen, so the bottom ten that missed

1310
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 4: the play in tournament and the eight that qualified for

1311
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 4: In other words, the only people who are not into

1312
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 4: the lottery at that point in time are teams that

1313
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 4: don't even have to play in the play and so

1314
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 4: the top six in each in each conference there right,

1315
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 4: the bottom ten teams would have an equal eight percent

1316
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 4: chance of moving up in the lottery, with the remaining

1317
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 4: twenty percent of the odds then getting split up amongst

1318
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 4: the eight play in teams in descending order from eleven

1319
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 4: through eighteen.

1320
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 6: That's the first proposal.

1321
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 5: And I think also like it's important to note that

1322
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 5: they're drawing for all of the picks rather than what

1323
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 5: they do now, which is just the top four I

1324
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 5: think is what it is. They just drop from the

1325
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 5: top four and then everything else is figured out by

1326
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 5: decreasing order after that. So I mean, like, I also

1327
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 5: think that's interesting.

1328
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 4: Well, they're also going to say that if you lose

1329
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 4: less than twenty games, they're just going to move you

1330
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 4: to a twenty game winner at the end, no matter what,

1331
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 4: for the terms of the lottery. So, in other words,

1332
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 4: each team would need to reach a minimum win total

1333
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 4: floor in each season to mitigate the need to lose

1334
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 4: every possible game.

1335
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 6: Right.

1336
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 4: So, for example, if the minimum floor for an individual

1337
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 4: season was twenty wins, a team that went fourteen and

1338
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 4: sixty eight would be twenty and sixty two for a

1339
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 4: lottery purposes. So just for the lottery purposes, that's how

1340
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 4: that goes. And if a team wins forty games one

1341
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 4: season and twenty games the next season, it would go

1342
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 4: in as a thirty win team for the lottery. Okay,

1343
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 4: so it's just like average again, Yeah, very complicated stuff

1344
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 4: that the average person is just like, just tell me

1345
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 4: what my just tell me where my team is going.

1346
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 7: To draft, right, I think I think that's a that's

1347
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 7: a big thing.

1348
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 4: That's kind of an issue.

1349
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 6: All right.

1350
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 4: That brings us to our simulated lottery of the day

1351
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 4: for this year under the current system, Ah, the Brooklyn

1352
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Nets get the number one overall pick. Did you have

1353
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 4: the little uh Will Sounder there, I'm trying to find Mark.

1354
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 6: Mark should have.

1355
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 4: Left you one, but I don't think he showed you

1356
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 4: where it was. Anyway, Brooklyn got the number one, Washington

1357
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 4: number two, Sacramento three, Indiana's four in today's simulated lottery.

1358
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 3: Do you wait for the real one?

1359
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 6: Who do you think they pick it?

1360
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 4: Fourth? Number four? You might get your Darren Peters in there, Boozer.

1361
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 3: No, Peters is not dropping a four, No way, uh.

1362
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 4: Boozer, Manah, that wouldn't be the worst thing.

1363
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: Now, I get hope.

1364
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 2: Probably athletically he doesn't have like the freak athleticism I

1365
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 2: think to be like a number one player on a

1366
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: championship team, but very skilled player, probably a National Player

1367
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: of the Year. And I'll say that knowing that Caleb

1368
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 2: Zuber is probably going to be smiling here in that

1369
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 2: National Player of the Year.

1370
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 3: Definitely caleab Boozer.

1371
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 4: All right, So that's what's happening as far as the

1372
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 4: NBA and the lottery. A few more text comments coming in.

1373
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 4: We'll get some of those before the show is done.

1374
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 4: But we've got four more terrific NBA or find it.

1375
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 4: Let me start over. Four more terrific NCAA tournament games.

1376
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 4: Then you have another home game tonight in the NBA

1377
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 4: for the Indiana Pacers. We'll tell you all about it

1378
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 4: next because we continue on ninety three five In one

1379
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 4: O seven five, the Fan
