1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sweet sixteen. Tonight, Perdue in San Jose

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: taking on Texas. Perdue the number two seed, Texas the

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: number eleven seed.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 2: We've come all this way.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Who would have thought in the depths of February, when

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: things were not going Perdue's way, that they would be

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: one game away from the Elite eight. James Boyd, that.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 3: Is a very good point you make.

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 4: They turned it around the Big Ten Tournament and have

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 4: not looked back since.

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: And we talked about defense. They just were not playing

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: any at that point in time. They've gotten a lot

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: better defensively, they've gotten a lot better on the rotations.

14
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: And they're scoring the basketball.

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: Look at when Kevin, you know this, when Fletcher Lawyer

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: is scoring from the outside, and you got Trey copp

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: and Renn playing that amazing two man game with Braden Smith,

18
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: it's a really tough team to defend.

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 5: Here we go, Here we go. I mean, the week

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 5: has now moved to Thursday, and the jubilation you have

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 5: on Monday and Tuesday has now shifted to nervous energy,

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 5: nervous anticipation. It's part of fan Frankly, it's part of

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 5: fandom that you want to experience, to be abundantly clear,

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 5: a lot of fan bases in this state and in

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 5: this market have not felt that in quite a while.

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, honestly, I kind of had a variety of

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 5: emotions driving in and thinking about Purdue playing tonight. Of like, again,

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 5: I expect them to win, but you know, the reality is,

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 5: you know, you are forty minutes away from is this it?

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: And what an unbelievable career that the senior class has had,

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 5: and you want it to I think be the Hollywood ending,

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 5: But sports oftentimes ain't that. So can't wait for tonight

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 5: the anticipation of it all. Obviously, it would set up

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 5: just a incredible matchup on Saturday, regardless of the opponent,

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: and then what a story it could be for five

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: days next week leading into playing in a building that is,

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 5: what you know, an hour and ten minutes from your campus.

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: So yes, nervous energy, I think that's the way to

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 5: describe it. And how does brain Smith bounce? You know,

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: he has been a guy that has not had very

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: many of those performances in his career. I actually thought

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 5: against UCLA last week in the Big Ten tournament, he

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 5: was a little off and then was outstanding against Michigan

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: in the Big Ten title game last year, McNeice in

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 5: Round two again not great, and then against Houston. I

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 5: thought he quarterbacked it beautifully in the Sweet sixteen game,

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 5: So expect him to bounce back. But him knowing you know,

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 5: his public comments about I realize you know what legacy

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 5: means and all of that. Curious how much that is

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 5: on his mind tonight.

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: I can't even entertain a loss.

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm all in on this, this Purdue team getting to

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the Elite eight, and we'll see how it all plays out.

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: But I would expect to Kevin's point, I would expect

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Braden Smith just doesn't do consecutive bad games, does he.

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: We don't have that history, do we.

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 6: No.

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: Honestly, the sign of a great player is the fact

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: that you really don't have those string of bad games.

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 4: But I know we'll get into it throughout the show,

61
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: but just for the early listeners, I'm very curious to

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: see what's the status CJ.

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 7: Cox.

64
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: And I know he said he got an MR on

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: the knee and it came back pretty good. He also

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: said he's relieved not to have a major injury. But

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: at the same time, I don't think he did much

68
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: throughout that short practice the other day that they had

69
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: and his status. I believe he probably will play. That's

70
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: my gut feeling. But at the same time, what does

71
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 4: that look like?

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 7: You know?

73
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: Are u CJ. Cox the guy who has been on

74
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: a tear as of later? Are you compromising anyway?

75
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's huge. We should note for Texas

76
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: Jordan Pope, one of the more dynamic guards, he is

77
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: dealing with an ankle injury himself. He had seventeen against

78
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: Zagia last round, had a thirty point game this see tournament.

79
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: I think the thought there is he will give it

80
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 5: a go. But still that's a little bit of a

81
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: question from a Texas side of it. Coming up for tonight.

82
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he real quick. Here's what T. J.

83
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: Cox said, and this is the courtesy of Nathan Barrett

84
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: over at indiestar dot com. They're Boiler's reporter, and he said,

85
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: I feel like I helped the team a lot on

86
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: defense and also on offense. But if I didn't play

87
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: in the game, meaning the previous game, I feel like

88
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: this team is capable of beating anyone in the country,

89
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: so I'm not really worried. I do think this team

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: is capable of beating any team in the country with

91
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: Tuesday Cox.

92
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: So I mean, he's very humble and very down to earth.

93
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: But brother, they need you, and I do think if

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: you are not who you are physically, then that might

95
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: hinder where they can go.

96
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: They don't have four wins in their pocket without him

97
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: in the lineup here coming up in the next two weeks,

98
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: So I think he means that much. So yeah, I

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 5: don't think that's a big storyline for tonight.

100
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully he'll be okay, and maybe look, if they

101
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: do tonight to Texas what the Lakers did in the

102
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: first quarter to the Pacers last night, then he can

103
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: kind of sit on the bench and rest a little bit.

104
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: They'll be fine.

105
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: They'll be fine.

106
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

107
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: Me and Caleb got to se one last night and

108
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: that was quite the game. Quite the start there, Caleb.

109
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: You know, ten oh, and you start thinking, all right,

110
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: ping punk balls.

111
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 8: Hey, James, the game is over. Before I even got

112
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 8: to my seat, right, I got off another job at seven,

113
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 8: I said, James, I'm gonna hustle over there. And when

114
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 8: I got in my seat, I think the Lakers are

115
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 8: already up fifteen.

116
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: But Rick had already taken his time out of disgust

117
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 5: before you fucked out.

118
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I tried to leave early. No, man, it was

119
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 8: fun too, Like just to see Lebron and Bronni on

120
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 8: the court together. I think James were talking about that.

121
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 8: We'll tell our kids about that. Bronni erupted for four

122
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 8: points last night. He had a nice mid range jumper.

123
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 8: Some of his threes we were bad, missus though, but no,

124
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 8: it was cool and the Pacers almost made it kind

125
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 8: of interesting at the end.

126
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: They started his some threes, but I mean they got

127
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: to it.

128
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: In six with like twenty seconds to go. They were

129
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: getting there, but it was it.

130
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: Was done, honestly, Jeff.

131
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: It was just that first quarter that was god awful,

132
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: because the rest of the way they were pretty even.

133
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: But yeah, and they made a nice little run at

134
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: the end of the first half and I thought, Okay,

135
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe they'll kind of get back in this thing. But

136
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: then the start of the third quarter of the Lakers

137
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: just took control again.

138
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 7: And that was that.

139
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Although you know, we were talking the other day, regardless

140
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: of whether you're a Lebron fan or you don't like Lebron,

141
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm still amazed at his age that the way he moves.

142
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: He still moves very athletically. That dunk he had over

143
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Jay Huff last night was no joke.

144
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: He had a few of them.

145
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: How I'm just thinking to myself, he's still in the

146
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: ninety nine percent sigh when it comes to athleticism.

147
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: But on a different note, we did see.

148
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: Kaitlyn Clark in a different role, a different shooting role.

149
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: She was out there shooting some different types of shots

150
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: as a photographer on the baseline, So that thought.

151
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: That was cool.

152
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 5: CJ.

153
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: Miles, I think, was out there as well taking photos.

154
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: There was a bunch of fever over there were there.

155
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure about a bunch of fever. I actually,

156
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: I mean you would have to verify. I saw filled

157
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 4: me in, but I definitely saw Caitlyn out there. Thought

158
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 4: that was pretty cool.

159
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: She had a sweet looking Pacers jacket on though, too.

160
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Did you see that jacket?

161
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: Well, is at the vest. You gotta wear the vest

162
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: if you're on the baseline, so.

163
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: She got like a but yeah, I think she put

164
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: the vest on afterwards. But yeah, she was taking pictures.

165
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Tyrees was back after being gone Kevin with the shingles

166
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: for a while.

167
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: He was back on the bench last night.

168
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I highlighted the night for the Pacers Kaitlyn Clark

169
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: taking pictures and Tyree's Talivern was that was kind of.

170
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: That's It's true.

171
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: Andrew Nemhart had an unbelievable game.

172
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 3: That is fair. No, that is very nineteen nineteen turnover

173
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: his career high.

174
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: I always feel this way about Nemart. His best positions

175
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 5: point guard, right it is who was last night?

176
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: And like it is, I don't just go ahead and

177
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: ask it, well, no, I ask you, but like put

178
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: it out there.

179
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 5: I'm not like going there like, oh my gosh, you

180
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 5: should move him. No, no, no, and all of a

181
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 5: sudden you can whatever, upgrade to two guard because I think

182
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 5: there are a lot of franchise out there that would

183
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: love to have him as their starting point guard. But

184
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: I'm just I guess I'm curious, Like I think Andrew

185
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 5: Nemhart needs to be a core piece to the next

186
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 5: window here for the Pacers. Oh absolutely, But I also

187
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: am curious, like what calls have the Pacers ever feelded

188
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: about Andrew Nemhart being point guard for another franchise.

189
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: He keeps doing what he does this past couple of games,

190
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna get like I would think.

191
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: You would like it. And even prior to this, I

192
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: mean you think about when Ty went down, I guess

193
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 5: in the postseason that was you know, a couple of

194
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: year years ago, that Celtic series. You know, I thought

195
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: nem Hard showed a lot, you know, in that whatever

196
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 5: brief four game series there. So yeah, it has kind

197
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: of been a reminder of, you know, how good he

198
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: is as a point guard. But yeah, it's the result

199
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: that probably a lot of Pacers fans were content with

200
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: and should know. Benedic Matheren did play last night for

201
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: the Clippers, first time in a week and a half,

202
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: twenty three points and six assists off the bench for him,

203
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 5: so very much looked quite well. And I believe Caleb,

204
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 5: you have some Mather and audio we can get to

205
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: here later in the show. He did touch on being

206
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 5: in Indy coming up tomorrow night, so again Pacers Clippers,

207
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 5: Benedict matherin return game Manyana.

208
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And here's the thing. I want to go back

209
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: to Neimhard real quickly. When you look at this construction,

210
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: the roster construction moving into the next year, there are

211
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: going to be so many possibilities and options, and you know,

212
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: they're either going to get another wing or even another

213
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: big depending on how everything falls for them in the draft.

214
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: But I mean, you'll be able to play Zubots as

215
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: much as you want, probably thirty thirty two minutes a game,

216
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: and Jay Huff is going to be fantastic to come

217
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: in and spell him for a few minutes when teams

218
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: want to do a thing like they did last year

219
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: on ty Reese where they really try to make it

220
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: difficult for him to get the ball up the floor

221
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: or to get the ball back once he releases it.

222
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: You have a whole nother point guard on the floor

223
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: now with them Heart that can do a lot of

224
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: different things. And I think that'll free up Haliburton and

225
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: it'll free up everybody else. They'll they'll have these pieces

226
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: and parts back and healthy. They'll have an addition to it.

227
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: And I just think for a guy like Rick Carlisle,

228
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: he's got to go to sleep at night as frustrated

229
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: as this as he is probably with the season right now, thinking, Man,

230
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna that's gonna be quite an eight or nine

231
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: man rotation that we're gonna have next year.

232
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: Well, two things.

233
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: Number one, I think what you touch on Jeff, They've

234
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: shown that already, honestly, the two back to back conference

235
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: finals runs and get into the finals. Andrew Nimhart definitely

236
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 4: was a great not off ball, but like another option

237
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: when Tyre's Halliburton didn't necessarily have it going or was

238
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 4: getting offended very tightly. And then I would just say,

239
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: if they're able to add another piece like not win

240
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: but if that is a big, big if we would

241
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: like to assume, oh man, you made this trade, the

242
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: pink pong balls will be forgiving. You'll get the chance

243
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: to add a franchise pillar.

244
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: But that is not a guarantee. So we will see

245
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: in a few months what.

246
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Happened Mother's Day.

247
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 5: Baby.

248
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: It just feel I guess my point is, it feels

249
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: like as good as nim Hart is yet, and that's

250
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: coming up quick, but as good as nim Hart is already,

251
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: it just feels like his point guard abilities have gone

252
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: to a different level this year. Yeah, it's the old

253
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: adage of.

254
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 7: Again.

255
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 5: I think Andrew dumhar is a really quality player, but

256
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 5: Jake Qurey says quite often, somebody's got to put up

257
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: stats on a twenty one team. I get that too,

258
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 5: and that is just the reality of the Pacers season, but.

259
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: He's the one.

260
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: He and Siakam are consistently the guys on that team

261
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: all year long.

262
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: Very good players.

263
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: But again you're not asked to even keep them in games.

264
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're not gonna ask Andrew DeMar to play anyone

265
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: near the role he's playing with this current agree iteration.

266
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Just saying it just gives Rick Rick all kinds of

267
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: options and ways to play things and lineups that he

268
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: can mess with, which Lord knows he loves to do,

269
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: and he's really good at that stuff.

270
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: So I'm starting to.

271
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: Get excited for next October already, James, is what I'm saying.

272
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, what.

273
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: Is the Kevin start to show with you get a

274
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: little anxiety and nervousness, nervous energy. That nervous nervous energy

275
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: comes before the excitement for next October, Jeff, because the

276
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: ping pong Paul's brother.

277
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: Nervous energy. Nervous energy is a good thing for a fan.

278
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Did you have nervous energy at the game last night,

279
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Caleb nah, I was just sitting back.

280
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 5: Nervous energy for bricking for chicken, right that that is correct.

281
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 8: There is a lot of that in our section, Caleb.

282
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: Do you think our ear drums have recovered because we

283
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: had a lot of nonsense going on.

284
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 5: Ears were ringing. When the Lakers are in town, you

285
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: get a lot of nonsense. That's a good way to describe.

286
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we can definitely uh just some of that,

287
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: or discussed some of that throughout the show.

288
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: I will say one thing though, I was reminded of

289
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: this last night too, and about once or twice a year,

290
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: I see it, and I'm reminded of it all the

291
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: time because I watch enough basketball. But those Lakers purple

292
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: uniforms are pretty.

293
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 7: Man.

294
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: They are smooth, they they're classic. They go back forever.

295
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: They remind That's another thing that reminds me of my

296
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: childhood is watching classic Lakers teams in those purple jerseys. Man,

297
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: those are sweet. I always like this one thing I

298
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: always liked about the Lakers. I don't like them when

299
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: the Pacers are playing them, but their uniforms.

300
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: I love the gold.

301
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I really like the purple, and I even like their

302
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Sunday whites when they play on Sundays and they wear

303
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: the all whites.

304
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: All right, So if we want to keep you listening

305
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: to our show, I'll just circle back. We hate the Lakers,

306
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: hate Lebron, hate all things Cleveland.

307
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: Well we did last night.

308
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: Look, I want to be clear that Lebron Lakers are

309
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: not my Lakers at all. I'm talking about vintage Lakers

310
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: going all the way back when I was a little

311
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: kid and it was the very end of the West Chamberlain.

312
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: I only got to see them like their.

313
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: Last when I was a kid.

314
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: Hate Shaq heye Kobean from two thousand, Well, what else

315
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 4: is lefty?

316
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 5: I just when I heard pretty uniforms, I thought I

317
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 5: was talking to Rosie Bowen putting on her LSU basketball.

318
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: I was thinking this. I was thinking last night they I.

319
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: Love me Kim Maulky on the sideline.

320
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: I like the flow Jos a lot.

321
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: But I am a sucker for the classic gold Pacers uniforms.

322
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: I think those are sweet and probably my two favorite

323
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: uniforms in the league, the classic gold for the Pacers

324
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: and those purple Lakers uniform So that's that I got

325
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: that off my chest, all right, coming up in a minute,

326
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: we'll have the check down later on today. Jordan Cornett

327
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: will stop by and talk to us about the Sweet sixteen.

328
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: Chris CapCo, he's the brand new head basketball coach at

329
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Ball State. We'll speak with him and we'll talk more

330
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: about the new head coach, Chit Butler. Big day ahead

331
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: right here at ninety three five and one O seven

332
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: to five the fan, as mentioned at the top of

333
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: the show, welcome to this Sweet sixteen. Later on tonight

334
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: seven to ten pm on CBS two, Seed Perdue taking

335
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: on number eleven Texas West Region. Purdue has won six

336
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: in a row, seven of their last eight Kevin Bowen.

337
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Braden Smith didn't have his best game last time out,

338
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: but he's still averaging fourteen points nine assists a game

339
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: for the entire season, and I would expect to bounce

340
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: back game from Braden Smith.

341
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: He seems to do that very raally.

342
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: Does he have an off game, but when he does,

343
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: generally comes back pretty well.

344
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 5: Did in this very round last year. I thought one

345
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: of his best games of his career was against Houston

346
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 5: and just quarterbacking it against that Kelvin Samson defense. But nonetheless,

347
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 5: we'll see how CJ. Cox looks Tonight's again. Jordan Pope

348
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 5: for Texas. He's a little banged up with an ankle

349
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: that it will be something to keep an eye on

350
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 5: and for those who have not seen Texas play this year.

351
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: They do have a really quality big guy out. I'm

352
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: not going to try and butcher his title name. Thank you.

353
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: That sounded good. Again, really skilled and bless me James.

354
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 5: And so how Purdue handles that. I think it will

355
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: be something that'll be a storyline here. But got four

356
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 5: games tonight again Perdue and Texas. Things started, and then

357
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 5: you've got the Houston region. I call that the drinking

358
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 5: beer game. Iowa Nebraska at seven point thirty. And my

359
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 5: favorite game is actually the last game of the night,

360
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 5: Houston in Illinois.

361
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: All right, we're looking forward to a big day of

362
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. And also, while we're on Purdue, just

363
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: the balances. I was looking over game notes and stuff

364
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: last night. James Braiden Smith fourteen, nine assists, and then

365
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: you have fourteen points and eight rebounds a game for

366
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Trey Kaufman. Wrenn Fletcher Lawyer averages fourteen points a game,

367
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Oscar Cluff ten and a half points, seven and a

368
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: half rebounds. They really do use each and every guy

369
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: to his max.

370
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: Yes, but I think to the point we've all made

371
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: throughout this week, you need Braiden Smith to be at

372
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: his max in moments like this. Can't have the Braidsmith

373
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: we saw I believe in the round thirty two, and

374
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: the team.

375
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: Is good enough to absorb those things.

376
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: But I just want to seem shoot the basketball better and

377
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 4: obviously not have eight turnovers.

378
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: All right, So that Sweet six team comes your way

379
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: later on tonight seven ten on CBS. We wait to

380
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: see if CJ. Cox can play with that injured right

381
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: and if so, how healthy is it and how effective

382
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: can he be? We'll check it out for you. In

383
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: the NBA last night, the Lakers over the Pacers one

384
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven to one thirty James, you and Caleb were there,

385
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: and Caleb, the game was essentially over by the time

386
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: you got to your seat, was it not?

387
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 9: It was?

388
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 8: It was, but it still ended up kind of being

389
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 8: close at the end. But yeah, it was fun just

390
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 8: to see the Lakers in town. But it was a

391
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 8: good time. Me and James had a good time.

392
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: The Pacers spent much of the night trying to battle

393
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: back from twenty plus point deficits. They got close a

394
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: little bit towards the end of the first half, looked

395
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: like they were cutting into it, and at the very

396
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: end of the game. You see, it's a seven point game,

397
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: but they hit a three or two right in the

398
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: last thirty forty five seconds to kind of close that

399
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: gap and never got closer than six.

400
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe the line was Lakers minus eight and

401
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: a half.

402
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: So there was some audible.

403
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: Rows over top him.

404
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 10: So there was that and some cheers from some peoples,

405
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 10: but a lot more pain, I would say in that

406
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 10: one for sure, And so shout out to the station

407
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 10: as well for blessing us with those tickets.

408
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: Luca Dansis forty three points. In the other meeting of

409
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: the two teams this year, he had forty four. He

410
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: averaged forty three and a half points a game against

411
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: the Pacers this year.

412
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: James, well, in a joking way, Ri Carlisle, he's the coach.

413
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: Luca dannc just said after the game, Well we held

414
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 4: him blow his average. Yeah, forty three and a half.

415
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 4: He only had forty three.

416
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: If you're keeping track at home. The agelest Lebron James

417
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: scored twenty three points. Also terrific night Kevin for Andrew

418
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: Nemhart fourteen points, nineteen assists last night.

419
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, again, he's put up some huge, huge numbers here lately,

420
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 5: and the Pacers continue to play. You know, if you

421
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: look at it, siakam nemhar I meansakam, I know you

422
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 5: have the shower early, but nemhard, Nie Smith, you know

423
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 5: they are playing these guys here late, which you're kind

424
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 5: of a little bummer because I assume if Viza Zubots

425
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 5: wouldn't have fractured his rib, we'd be seeing him as well,

426
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 5: more from an entertainment value than anything.

427
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: All Right, Other games of note in the NBA last night,

428
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: I do want to point out that the Boston Celtics

429
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: beat the Oklahoma City Thunder first law the Thunder have

430
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: had in almost a month, one nineteen to one oh nine.

431
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: And with Jason Tatum back, are the Celtics now the

432
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: team to beat in the Eastern Conference right now?

433
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: James, it's a great question.

434
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say yes, mainly because I don't know what

435
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 4: Kay Cunningham will look like the number one in the

436
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 4: East of Pistons, but he's dealing with that collapsed long

437
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: and trying to get back to playing basketball, so it's

438
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 4: a big question mark for me.

439
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: Also, the Statapaloosa for this year continues. Last night Nuggets

440
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: beat the Mavericks one forty two to one thirty five.

441
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray dropped fifty three on a night when Nikola

442
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Jokic had twenty three points, twenty one rebounds and nineteen assists.

443
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: He couldn't get one more assists for a twenty twenty

444
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: twenty game, and it was a home already falling off.

445
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: Kevin at home.

446
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Don't you find that one more assist with the scorekeeper

447
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: on the bench over there.

448
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: That scorekeeper wants a Christmas tip?

449
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Then yeah, uh, that's what's happening in the NBA WNBA.

450
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: The expansion draft date has been set James April the third,

451
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: the Toronto Ten and the Portland Fire. We'll get to

452
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: choose players off of everybody else's rosters who have not

453
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: been protected. Fever are likely to protect Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell,

454
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: Aleah Boston, Lexi Hole and Mikayla Timpson. Probably not going

455
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: to be able to protect Sophie Cunningham, and I would

456
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: imagine she's a prime target for one of those two

457
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: expansion teams somewhere along one.

458
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 8: Jeff, he said they're likely to retain Caitlin Clark was like,

459
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 8: they haven't.

460
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: It's not an official list yet, just want to be

461
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: sure I've done that before. And then these two guys

462
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: rightly are like, no, it's not it's not an official list,

463
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: and they are right to do that. So I'm more

464
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: on my p's and q's now. I like it all right,

465
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: So the official Yeah, I think Kaitlyn Clark will be okay,

466
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: I agree.

467
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: All right.

468
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Opening Day yesterday, the New York Yankees

469
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: shutting out the San Francisco Giants seven nothing. Max Freed

470
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: was terrific, allowed just two hits in six and the

471
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: third innings, but Aaron Judge, despite the Yankees scoring seven runs, was.

472
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: Oh for five. Kevin with four strikeouts last night.

473
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: I'm all about the Reds today, four ten Andrew Abbott,

474
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 5: the race to win ninety four games, ninety fours a

475
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: lot ninety one.

476
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: Did we get Hunter green Back before the All Star

477
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: break or not?

478
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna look at him as the trade deadline addition.

479
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see what happens there. Also, the Cubs will

480
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: host the Nationals at two twenty this afternoon. The Rays

481
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: play at the Cards at four fifteen. Of course, tomorrow

482
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: night Opening night for the Indianapolis Indians. They will host

483
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: Saint Paul at six thirty five over at Victory Field.

484
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: We have to mention too, that Butler hired Ronald nore

485
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: Ed yesterday found that out at the end of the show.

486
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: Just a question for you guys, though Kevin did.

487
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: Did Butler even consider outside options for the most part,

488
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: because even John Gross has a link to Butler basketball.

489
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean definitely seemed like the candidates were all

490
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 5: in the family. I do at some point today I

491
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: want to play some Ronald nored audio. You know, we

492
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 5: had him on the show a couple of years ago,

493
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: right before he was getting ready to coach Benedic Mathern

494
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 5: ironically in the Pacer Summer League. He was the head

495
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: coach of the Pacer Summer League, and I had kind

496
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 5: of forgotten that he had interviewed with Barry Collier right

497
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 5: before they hired Thad Mana, So you know, again Ronald

498
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 5: Nora had been the Butler head coach. I don't think

499
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 5: it's too much of a surprise to anyone, dating back

500
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: even several years now. At that point, I think his

501
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 5: answer of where does he see himself in a few

502
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 5: years is kind of an interesting one. I don't think

503
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 5: he necessarily saw himself on the collegiate sideline, so we

504
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 5: can play that upcoming here, but he'll be introduced tomorrow

505
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 5: at noon over there at hinklefield House for Ronald Nord.

506
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 5: Speaking of Hinkle field House, we do have the NIT

507
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 5: Final Four coming up a week from I think it's

508
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 5: tonight again next.

509
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: Week next Sunday.

510
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: In between the Final four Saturday night and the championship

511
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 5: game Monday, you'll have the NIT Championship, the D two Championship,

512
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 5: and the D three Championship all over a Gamebridge Field House.

513
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 5: The semis for the NIT will still be at Hinkle,

514
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 5: and that is on Thursday night. It'll be Auburn against

515
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 5: Illinois State. I assume you'll have a nice contingent there

516
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: from the Redbirds taking the trip over. Then New Mexico

517
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: Tulsa is your other game there in the n i

518
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 5: T Final four here at Hinkle.

519
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good stuff to come here in

520
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: the next ten to fourteen days in Indianapolis, and we

521
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: are always here for it. Also, speaking of college basketball coaches,

522
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: Chris CapCo, the new Ball State head coach, going.

523
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: To join us a little bit later on today.

524
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: Kevin looking forward to meeting him and talking to him

525
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Yeah, I know very little about him.

526
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 5: Did watch the PROSS conference a lot of energy, and

527
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 5: again I don't think like a ton of direct ties

528
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 5: really to ball state or the state of Indiana in

529
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 5: general here, but a twenty six year NCAA tournament drought.

530
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 5: That is what Chris CapCo will try to end there

531
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 5: in Muncie.

532
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: Tweet tweet, all right, anything else you guys want to

533
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: throw in? Before we had to break, I thought it

534
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: was chirp, chirp, Thank you got your tweet.

535
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 7: You're right.

536
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: I was thinking I was looking at my Twitter.

537
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: For is gonna find you jew Charlie the Cardinals next week.

538
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: It'll be the first time I'll get less broccoli and

539
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: the beef and broccoli next week.

540
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 5: Maybe played more tweet tweet not enough chirp, chirp, Yeah, yeah,

541
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 5: there you go. Good save, there you go.

542
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: All right.

543
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: Coming up in a moment, we'll talk more about tonight's

544
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: matchup in the Sweet sixteen. Purdue has had no trouble

545
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: making the tournament. With Matt Painter. Tonight, they have an

546
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to advance to the Elite eight. We'll talk about

547
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: it next at ninety three, five and one oh seven

548
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: five the fan. That's what I'm talking about right there, Caleb,

549
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: Tonight's going to be a good, good.

550
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: Night walk about the Black Eyed Peas.

551
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Jeff, I love the Black Eyed Peas were talking about. Yeah,

552
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: it's coming up tonight seven to ten on your television set.

553
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: For those who didn't make the trip to Santa is it,

554
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: what kind of a contingent do you expect Kevin Purdue

555
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: to take with him to San Jose for a Sweet

556
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: sixteen round?

557
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 5: Ah, it's hard to say. I can't imagine it'll be

558
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 5: a time. I think Purdue fans travel quite well, but still,

559
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 5: you know, going out there to San Jose, I don't know.

560
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 5: That might be a little, hey spring break with the family.

561
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 5: We could kind of swing Saint Louis Buus, Indy.

562
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: Saint Louis. That was my childhood boy a Midwestern.

563
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: Or Saint Louis or East Saint Louis, James, did you

564
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: see it up?

565
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: We did not do it up, or we might have

566
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 4: if it's been several years since I was a child,

567
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 4: of course, but yeah, Saint Louis was the where my

568
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 4: aunt's stayed for many many years, and that was a

569
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: midwesterner's dream as an eight year old.

570
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Well, tonight it'll be Purdue Texas, and again Purdue has

571
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: really turned things around.

572
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: They just they looked like they were missing a spark

573
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: plug or something in February.

574
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: It just fits and starts and couldn't get it really going,

575
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: and they'd lost six of.

576
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: Ten at one point in time.

577
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: But Manna, they turned it around seven of their last eight,

578
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: six in a row, running the table into Big ten

579
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: and now getting through the first week of the NCAA tournament.

580
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: And it's been fun to watch because the two man game.

581
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: I know that he didn't have a tremendous game by

582
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: his standards the other night, but even still that two

583
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: man games, so things aren't going well. Just get the

584
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: ball inside of tre Kaufman Ren and let him operate.

585
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: Man does that guy will find a bucket, won't he? Yeah?

586
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 4: I think I was talking to Caleb about this last night.

587
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: We're sitting there and watching the Pacers and it's like,

588
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: you know, sweet sixteen's coming up. How would you like

589
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 4: to be the defender who has to put their chest

590
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: in front of Trey Coffin Wren?

591
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know, I'm not built for that.

592
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: Caleb, maybe you are a little more well equipped in

593
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 4: that apartment, but that department.

594
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 8: Me, I mean, I mean, I mean, I would get bulldozed, man.

595
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that's where you needed Vitza Zubats

596
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: to come in.

597
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: And he'll truly, he'll hold his ground.

598
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 4: But jokes aside, though, I think Trey Coffin Wren is

599
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 4: playing his best basketball the season. And I know we

600
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 4: say that for a lot of different players at this time.

601
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 4: You want to pick at the right time. We're gonna

602
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: play the best basketball in March, but he legitimately is.

603
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: I think that it's kind of gone under the radar.

604
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: How good of a score he is because of the

605
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: arrival of Oscar Cluff and clearly having to share some

606
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: of those opportunities. But boy, you put him in the

607
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: post one on one, I'll take him over a lot

608
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: of defenders in the country.

609
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously, I think Fletcher Lawyer has been outstanding. Oh yes,

610
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 5: him too for Purdue really over the last month or so,

611
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: you know, you know tonight, Okay, what what worries you?

612
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: You know, what what will ultimately be Produe's downfall if

613
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 5: we see it here over the next two weeks, you know,

614
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 5: I think it is defending teams that you know, have

615
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 5: some drivers. And then at times I did think Miami,

616
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 5: you know, a they just got to the rim way

617
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: too easily, and then be the ability to create an

618
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 5: extra possession or two. You know, does Purdue get in

619
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 5: some of these scrambling situations. I know, from a staff standpoint,

620
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 5: produced a little concerned about Texas having some individual drivers

621
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 5: that could be hard to keep in front of them.

622
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 5: So if you are beat and now you get into

623
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 5: scramble mode, Texas might not have the shooting that a

624
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 5: Wisconsin or in Illinois or a Michigan, you know, kind

625
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 5: of exposed Purdue and those wins in Mackie. But that

626
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: would probably be a question that you would have for

627
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 5: the Boilers. And at times I thought Miami certainly was

628
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 5: able to expose some of that.

629
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: Uh TC is on the text line and he is

630
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: a repeatedly.

631
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: It may makes me wonder.

632
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: James, he's an IU basketball fan, but it feels like

633
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: he's got Purdue on his brain. They're living their rent

634
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: free right now. Because there's a string of texts over

635
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: the last week or two that go Purdue's gotten a

636
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: really easy draw. Purdue still doesn't have one national championship

637
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: with this great program you're bragging about. IU hires a

638
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: football coach and two years later they have a title.

639
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: Win's Purdue going to win one? And then Purdue never

640
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: celebrated national championships For as much success as IU has had.

641
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: Purdue's getting a lot of real estate. And that noggin

642
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: right there isn't it?

643
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: You know?

644
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 4: Me and pettiness. I'm trying to change my ways a

645
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 4: little bit. Why for reasons that the listeners definitely know.

646
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: But I think that you have to be, in my opinion,

647
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 4: just realistic with where things are and right now is Purdue. Man,

648
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 4: we got to talk about the team that's playing and

649
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: the same thing when IU football was rolling. So there's

650
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 4: not favoritism anything like that is just reality of our business.

651
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 11: Oh.

652
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: I got texts and emails every day to the station

653
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: about even voicemails. I know IU football is having a

654
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: good season, but can you talk about anything else? And

655
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: it was always a Purdue fan that so the rivalry

656
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: is alive and well just healthy fan ten That's exactly

657
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: what it is.

658
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 5: Granted I'm here for it. When's the last time IU

659
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: basketball is played a game? On March twenty six.

660
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean that's a very fair question.

661
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 5: I know I asked that in all seriousness.

662
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: Just cutt into the court right there, Kevin.

663
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: No, I mean we talked about it a little bit yesterday,

664
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 4: but I mean a standard for IU where they were

665
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 4: and where they are now.

666
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 3: We can't sugarcoat that.

667
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 5: Again. You put Purdue. We did this earlier in the week.

668
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 5: Put Purdue seven Sweet sixteens in the last nine years

669
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 5: in context, you know, you do that around our state

670
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: right now. I mean, it's it's absurd what Purdue has

671
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: done here over the last decade in regards to what

672
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 5: and not just Indiana you want to throw out. We

673
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: talked about Indiana because the history and the resources invested

674
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 5: in that program. But you know, you want to go

675
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: to Butler, you want to go to Notre Dame, you

676
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: want to even go to the mid major programs. Yeah,

677
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: it's it's crazy. I mean, what did we say earlier

678
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: this week. In the last nine years, I think the

679
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 5: big three not named Perdue, Indiana, Butler, Notre Dame have

680
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: made the tournament. I believe it's four times made the

681
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: tournament four total times in those three schools, and Produce

682
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 5: made seven Sweet sixteens.

683
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: It's a new dan h and a national championship game

684
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: for sure. So sure they've been doing some good work

685
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: to see if they can get over the hump this year.

686
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: But it starts tonight against Texas in the Sweet sixteen. Caleb,

687
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: of of these two, which would you which would interest

688
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: you more? Perdue minus seven and a half for the

689
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: over under of one hundred and forty seven and a half.

690
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 8: Well, if there's anybody taking my betting advice, you're you're

691
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 8: tuning into the wrong show. Uh So, whatever I say,

692
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 8: take the opposite.

693
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: What is it?

694
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 8: Perdue minus seven?

695
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: You said seven and a half.

696
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be a close game, dude, Like

697
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 8: I just I don't know. I think in these types

698
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 8: of games, I think a lot of people around the country.

699
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 8: I don't think Purdue fans are doing this or Purdue

700
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 8: themselves doing this, but a lot of people around the country,

701
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 8: like look at the seed line and it's just like, oh,

702
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 8: it's eleven versus two, Like Purdue. You know, I'm in

703
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 8: an eliminator pool and I'm already out, but you know

704
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 8: a lot of people are taking Purdue, and it's like

705
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 8: I understand that, and I'm not saying Purdue is going

706
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 8: to lose either, but it's not just that easy. Like

707
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 8: Texas is not playing like an eleven seed right now.

708
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 8: So it's gonna come down to the wire. I think

709
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 8: it'll be close.

710
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: So this is how I see these lines.

711
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: When I see a minus seven and a half, to me,

712
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: that tells me the odd makers really think this is

713
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: a four or five point game, because we all know,

714
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: in the last thirty to forty five seconds of a game,

715
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: if it's a one and a half, two possession game,

716
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: something like that, four or five points, you got to

717
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: start fouling, and all of a sudden, those last four

718
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: to six points become free throws and that four point

719
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: lead becomes an eight point lead.

720
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: Very easy. Sure, So I always think about that right there.

721
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 5: I kind of on you got Obi top and banging

722
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 5: in a three at the bars.

723
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: They're in ruining that.

724
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: He sounds like that left the mark last night.

725
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: Ya walk on all of a sudden banks one end

726
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: from the volleyball line.

727
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: And that's why you gotta go at some point if

728
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: you've never done it, guys, you've got to go watch

729
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: the opening two days in Las Vegas, because at the

730
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: end of every game.

731
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: It is just a it's just.

732
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: A chorus of oh yeah, because, as Kevin says, somebody,

733
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: some walk on hits his big moment, three, somebody misses

734
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: a free throw. It always comes down to those one thing.

735
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: And you'll see guys ripping their tickets up and throwing

736
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: them up at the air like they do in the movies.

737
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: It's really a fun time.

738
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: So question, and I'm gonna just bear with me for

739
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 4: a moment because me and Caleb had quite the experience

740
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 4: of the game yesterday. So we get there and I'm

741
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 4: already getting it. He sits down immediately recognizes that it's

742
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: quite interesting situation we're in. So set the scene one

743
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: Road three, section one nineteen, great view by the way

744
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: against the shout out to the station, one step five

745
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: the fan for the tickets. There's a kid right behind

746
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: us in a Luca jersey who screams after every single

747
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: play pass, Luca shoot it, Jake Laravia, you shoot it,

748
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves, you cook him, Let's go bron Braun.

749
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's it's NonStop. Kids go crazy,

750
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: kitd new Ball, kayleb Canvaluchi the kidney ball.

751
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: Then we had a grown man in front of us,

752
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: a Pacers fan very clearly, who seemed to get physically

753
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 4: ill whenever the Lakers did anything correct.

754
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 3: He was invested. Man, Caleb, can can you explain what

755
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: we saw like that?

756
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: There was one moment in particular where I believe though

757
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: the Pacers may have made a shot and the man,

758
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: did he not fall to his knees?

759
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: Bro Like, I yes, yes he did. And here's the

760
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: rent being being wagered last night. I just think he's.

761
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 5: Sobriety in question at all.

762
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 4: I know, I was there literally before tip off and

763
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 4: the guy, I think he's just wired that way.

764
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 8: And here's the thing, man, Like, it's like this when

765
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 8: the Pacers are sixteen and forever, right, I can't imagine

766
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 8: watching a June Finals game with.

767
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: This guy, Like what was he doing?

768
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 7: Yeah?

769
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: I mean the passion inspect was unmatched.

770
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: And I agree with Caleb, but boy, when he hit

771
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: his knees and we were a shout to Nick Cotton

772
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: Jim as well, Him and the wife came and we

773
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 4: were sitting next to them, and they brought their nine

774
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 4: month old daughter as well. She was very interested in

775
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: my hoodie and I told Nick, you know, hey, same

776
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: thing I told you guys, everyone's potty training, can talk.

777
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 7: He's a boy up.

778
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 3: I would definitely babysit, but jokes aside.

779
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: Man, he legitimately fell to his knees on some hard

780
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 4: concrete steps, and I was thinking to myself, boy, you

781
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 4: ever think you.

782
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: Were questioned the passion of Pacers fans? Oh?

783
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: Just show this guy. Yeah, I mean the season is over.

784
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,880

Speaker 1: the Clippers at home on Friday and then they play

817
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,120

00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

822
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: There's no way. I mean, the Pacers are not the Wizards.

823
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 5: What's Bam been doing? Has he eclipsed thirty points in

824
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 5: a game eighty three night?

825
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 7: So the Wizards?

826
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 4: Baby, if you get mad anybody, it's the Wizards. But

827
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 4: you know, I just had to get that off my chest. Caleb,

828
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 4: Thanks for being with me.

829
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: It was a good story.

830
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

831
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 5: Caleb, Do you have that Bendic mathern audio from last night?

832
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: I do.

833
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 5: This was Mathering again missed four games of the toe injury,

834
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 5: did play last night, played quite well twenty three points,

835
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 5: six assists off the bench. Uh and his return to

836
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 5: Indiana coming up Friday night. This was Benedict Mather Indiana

837
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 5: or he.

838
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: Smiled at me because I have to.

839
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: I don't want to ask you about it, but I

840
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: have to.

841
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 5: What is the reception that you are expecting from fans

842
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 5: and kind of just what the emotions of being back

843
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 5: there for the first.

844
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 7: Time since the trade.

845
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 6: You know, Inanna breathes basketball. You know, I think everybody

846
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 6: knows that, and I already know what to expect. Obviously,

847
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 6: the fans will be there, and you know the fans

848
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 6: you love me and I love the fans over there.

849
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 6: You know they mean everything to me. Well they meant.

850
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 6: I'm sorry a little bit still do.

851
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 9: But there's gonna be.

852
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 7: A lot of love. And at the end of the day.

853
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 6: Like Indiana drafted me, you know it's still my second home.

854
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: To his day, you should love Indiana. It was good

855
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: to him. Man meant we changed it.

856
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 5: I love that.

857
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 4: I was like, boy, there's always an age of Bendic

858
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 4: mathered and as the president of the Benedict Mathern Fan Club,

859
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 4: you can't get away with not saying anything here.

860
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: Kevin always in the edge.

861
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 5: I love that. Yeah, when I heard that, I was like,

862
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 5: I love that he corrects it.

863
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: He's crazy.

864
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 7: I love it.

865
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 5: I do think it will be a much different reaction

866
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: than it was from Myles Turner, and obviously one of

867
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 5: trade ones are signing like I understand there's that aspect

868
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: to it, but I do think Pacers fans will have

869
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 5: a very nice reaction to bendiccmatherin after whatever, some sort

870
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 5: of tribute it. Obviously Isaiah Jackson, who also had a

871
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 5: nice game last night, starting to play a little bit

872
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 5: more and better for the Clippers as well, So I

873
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 5: do think he will feel that now as soon as

874
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 5: that ball's tipped, the edge will be there. And if

875
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 5: anybody watched the first game between these two teams, boy

876
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 5: Matherin Cook to use the kid who sat behind you,

877
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 5: guys term, I don't know if he dropped Cook, but

878
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 5: I'll try to act hip and drop that. But I

879
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 5: thought when Aaron Nesmith or Andrew Nemhard or even Pascal

880
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 5: Siakam when they got a chance to guard Ben dcmatherin,

881
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 5: they had some urgency that I don't think we've maybe

882
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 5: seen every single night. So I just think in general

883
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 5: he will ratchet up the intensity level, frankly for both

884
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 5: himself and certainly for the Pacers. So again tomorrow night.

885
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 5: I get that the Pacers are a million games out

886
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 5: of it, and at this point people mostly want them

887
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 5: to lose, but we'll get a little bit of a

888
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 5: higher sense of urgency to steal the car Yar s

889
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 5: Gordon phrase here inside a gamebridge Field House tomorrow night,

890
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 5: which would you rather.

891
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: See the two teams fully play each other or Ben

892
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 4: inticcmather Andrew Nemhart one on one.

893
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 5: One on one. I literally found myself whenever that game

894
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 5: was a few weeks ago, James totally yelling at the

895
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 5: TV when Matherin would pass. I'd be like, stop passing,

896
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 5: Like I don't. It's not what you do, right, You're

897
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 5: not trying to grow your own games. Rick Carlow and

898
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 5: you on the back of the plane going over you know, hey,

899
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 5: these are steps you need to take as a player.

900
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 5: No iso ball and let's go. Let's get a little

901
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 5: bit chippy instead, he just pretty much owned the Pacers

902
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 5: and there wasn't really much of a back and forth

903
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 5: with that. So I assume, you know, given those comments,

904
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 5: that he's probably circled this one quite a lot.

905
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

906
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: That was a one thirty to one oh seven loss

907
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles the last time the Pacers played there.

908
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: I was looking at the the entirety of the season

909
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: this morning. This is a team that started off again

910
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: one one probably what two and a half orders away

911
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: from potentially an NBA championship last year in June. Right,

912
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: they started off two in sixteen. That was followed later

913
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: in the season by a thirteen game losing streak and

914
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: followed most recently by a sixteen game losing streak. It's

915
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: almost even hard to say that this is the same. Obviously,

916
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: the players been in and out of liab hurt, we

917
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: get it all, but just the franchise itself from in

918
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: just months, going from the precipice of an NBA championship

919
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: to hey, they might have the worst record in the

920
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: NBA before it's all said and done this year.

921
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jeff, if you go back to the season opener,

922
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: it took okay, see double overtime and fifty five points

923
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 4: from SGA to beat the Pacers without Halliburton, And at

924
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: that point in time, I was thinking, oh boy, like

925
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 4: this team might be all right, you know, not all

926
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 4: right to the point where they'll contend without Halliburton, but

927
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 4: I thought, okay, playoff team. But things have changed quite

928
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 4: a bit, a lot of that due to injury, and

929
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 4: you're hoping at this point that you'll get rewarded for

930
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: the basketball.

931
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of messing with you over the last few months.

932
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 5: I don't know when we'll chat with Ronald nored but

933
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 5: a question I do have for him, And I don't

934
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 5: know this might be a question for every college basketball

935
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 5: coach in today's day and age, but I think especially

936
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 5: it is for Ronald Nored at Butler. How much of

937
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 5: his job does he view the need to help raise

938
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 5: money for his program? You know, we used to kind

939
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 5: of say, ah, you got to go out there and

940
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 5: you know, what's his x's and o's. You know, is

941
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 5: he a leader of men?

942
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 7: You know?

943
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 5: Does he have connections around the state of Indiana to

944
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 5: the high school coaches?

945
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 7: Right?

946
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 5: Like those are kind of like the prerequisites or like that.

947
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 5: You know, that's what you would like dissect in a coach,

948
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 5: and now could you make the statement that the biggest

949
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 5: thing that you need to do as a college astle

950
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 5: head coach, particularly one that's not at one of the

951
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 5: Hey we have poodles of money waiting for you, is

952
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 5: the first step in that, like, hey man, can you

953
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 5: speak well and bring energy and draw a room of

954
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 5: major boosters and get their back pocket to you know,

955
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 5: turn over to our hand. Is that a question or

956
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 5: is that not?

957
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 3: It's definitely cool.

958
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: It has to be a question in today's world. It's

959
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: part of that's part of your job, now, isn't it.

960
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 5: How woud you rank it? Would you rank exces and

961
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 5: o's above it? Would you rank connections to high school

962
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 5: coaches above it? Would you rank leader of men above it?

963
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 5: Obviously at some point you do have to coach the

964
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 5: basketball team. Don't want to ignore that, But you also

965
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 5: need to make sure you've got Kentucky Derby Thoroughbreds if

966
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 5: you will.

967
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think nil money and the

968
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: ability to recruit and raise that money are probably as

969
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: important as anything. Right now, Well, you know, have all

970
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: the access knows you want, but if you don't have

971
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: the jimmies and the Joe's you're not gonna win.

972
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you access to rank them. I might put the

973
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 4: money at the top. But also I'm shallow, so I

974
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 4: don't know if to run the right person to answer that?

975
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: What was it the great run?

976
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: Ireland said, the answer to every question is money.

977
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 5: Now again, I think if you want to like get

978
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 5: a little bit outside of just purely dollars and cents.

979
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 5: You know one thing I've said pretty much every time

980
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 5: the Matt Painter conversation has been brought up, I would argue,

981
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 5: he is up there at the top, if not at

982
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 5: the top of any college basketball head coach and putting

983
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 5: the puzzle together. Okay, we have Zach Edie, all right,

984
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 5: how does the puzzle need to look around him? Okay,

985
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 5: we have Carson Edwards? How does the puzzle need to

986
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 5: look around him? Braden Smith?

987
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: Like all of that?

988
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 5: You know that to me is so much of it,

989
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 5: And of course that inevitably involves some financial thoughts. You know,

990
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken, I want to say this time

991
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 5: last year, Asperdue was getting ready to play in the

992
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen against Houston. Part of Matt Painter's job was

993
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 5: recruiting Oscar cluff out of the portal to be a

994
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 5: part of produced puzzle this year. You know, that's just

995
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 5: the nature of Okay, Well, look at Purdue last season.

996
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 5: What was a question mark with Perdue last season? It

997
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 5: was front court, it was you know, will Berg isn't

998
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 5: working out or you know, whoever you want to throw

999
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 5: in there, and so all of a sudden you need

1000
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 5: to go out and find a quality big And Purdue

1001
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 5: doesn't dip their toes in the portal a whole lot,

1002
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 5: but they did with Kloff and I think by all

1003
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 5: accounts it's worked out wonderfully. So you know, I do

1004
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 5: think Nora Ed would be a guy that, you know,

1005
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 5: if whatever you're on the fence about donating to a program.

1006
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 5: I do think he's got the personality, the persona, the

1007
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 5: energy to be someone that you would want to walk

1008
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 5: out of a room and say, man, I like that guy.

1009
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 5: I like that guy leading a program. I want to

1010
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 5: follow him. I want to see what he can do

1011
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 5: at Butler. Again, it's not the end all be all.

1012
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 5: It's not me. It doesn't mean that all of a

1013
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 5: sudden Butler's gonna win at an absurd level. But I

1014
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 5: understand in this day and age of college athletics, that

1015
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 5: energy level being one that is really important for your

1016
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 5: program to have, because I just don't I think the

1017
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 5: day and age of sitting on your you know what

1018
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 5: and telling everybody else to get it done for you,

1019
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 5: and you know, just expecting the money to be there.

1020
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 5: I think that's very wishful thinking.

1021
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: It's the Fan Morning Show. We'll be talking to the

1022
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960

Speaker 2: Coming up at nine thirty this morning.

1024
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a guy that he's known

1025
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: for his recruiting prowess, that's the one thing I do

1026
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: know about him. We'll talk to him about that as

1027
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: he's trying to get Ball State back into the NCAA

1028
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: tournament for the first time in a long time. And

1029
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll talk to Jordan Cornette about all the games

00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: seeds at this point in time. If somebody's made it

1085
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: through the first four and a couple of tournament games,

1086
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,560

1087
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 7: James.

1088
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,480

00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 4: a little like you know, for you guys, I appreciate.

1091
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: What I was in the southern California, not northern California.

1092
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 4: You know me all, I have not been to California

1093
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 4: many times. It's very big state. I say, at California,

1094
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 4: I think it's all the states.

1095
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: It's a long dry It's closer to go to Chicago

1096
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: from here than it is to go from LA to

1097
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco.

1098
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: Makes sense, all right?

1099
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: So we got that going on today.

1100
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 1: But San Jose is where Purdue is playing tonight, and

1101
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: they'll try to keep it rolling. And like I said,

1102
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that Matt Painter has made his guys

1103
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: aware that forget about Seeds at this point in time,

1104
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: we just got.

1105
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: To play a pretty hot basketball team.

1106
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 3: I do want to know again status of CJ. Cox.

1107
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 4: Are you the guy we saw in the first half

1108
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 4: of the last game where you're able to hit some

1109
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 4: big shots and even beyond that, think he's one of

1110
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 4: their better perimeter defenders? Yea, and without perhaps the mobility

1111
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 4: because of your knee, can you still play a winning

1112
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 4: brand of basketball if you're compromised?

1113
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 3: So I'm very curious to see how he is.

1114
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the open practice yesterday, based off some

1115
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 5: reports I saw from people that were out there at

1116
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 5: San Jose, they did say he was doing some lateral

1117
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 5: movement and some cutting with that. Now, I'm judging by

1118
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,959
Speaker 5: the few open practices I've been to in my NCAA

1119
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 5: tournament history life, I can't imagine it was full full

1120
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 5: throttle in those open you know minutes. But nonetheless, at

1121
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 5: least he's moving, at least he's on the floor, at

1122
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 5: least he's wearing, you know, a practice jersey. So yeah,

1123
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 5: definitely that will be a big, big item to watch again.

1124
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 5: Jordan Pope, one of Texas's more dynamic guards. He got

1125
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 5: hurt late in their win over Gonzaga with an ankle injury.

1126
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 5: There were some questions for Sean Miller about that yesterday.

1127
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 5: So you know, a couple of injury related items certainly

1128
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 5: to keep an eye on coming up tonight.

1129
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 4: And just real quick, you know, we talk about this

1130
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 4: Jordan Hope guy. He can play, I mean, Jordan Pope,

1131
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, he can play. Yeah, he can shoot as well. Yeah,

1132
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 4: he can shoot it man. So he's somebody who you

1133
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 4: definitely know of on the scouting report because if you

1134
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 4: leave them open, just get it out the net.

1135
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1136
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: And again, I know that the over under is at

1137
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: one forty seven and a half right now, but Texas

1138
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: comes in averaging eighty three points a game perdue eighty

1139
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: two points a game.

1140
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: I know the defense is picked up. Would you be

1141
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: shocked if we.

1142
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: Just got an up and down, fast tempo everybody making

1143
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: threes game tonight, Kevin.

1144
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know, I don't know. Texas probably got

1145
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 5: to show me a little bit just from that aspect

1146
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 5: of it. You know, I get this, Hey, Texas has

1147
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 5: won a couple games in tournament, and I understand, you know,

1148
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 5: their roster is definitely not eleven seed type of Cinderella.

1149
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 5: They also lost five to six entering the tournament. Yeah,

1150
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 5: they also had hit a game winning shot to get

1151
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 5: out of Dayton. I mean, let's not act like, you know,

1152
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 5: this is the whatever seventy six Hoosiers that Purdue is

1153
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 5: looking across from tonight. I totally understand that. You know,

1154
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 5: the line is whatever, six and a half, seven and

1155
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 5: a half. It's not like Vegas is expecting some absolute

1156
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 5: route here. You know, again, how does Braden Smith react

1157
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 5: to last game? You know, if you look at his

1158
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 5: career a bit oddly, I mean, how many games is

1159
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 5: Brainsmith played one hundred and forty some games? I believe

1160
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 5: the three highest turnover games of his entire career have

1161
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 5: all occurred in the NCAA tournament. You know, fairly. I

1162
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 5: think it was fairly Dickinson and then McNeice last year,

1163
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 5: and then of course, you know last week against against Miami.

1164
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 5: Now you know last year against Miami, or even last

1165
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 5: week or two weeks ago, at this point UCLA, I

1166
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 5: didn't think he was great great from a turnover standpoint

1167
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 5: in that Big ten tournament game. Then against Michigan the

1168
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 5: next day he was outstanding. And you know again last

1169
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 5: year against Houston he was really good.

1170
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 4: But you know, I'm just curious, like Kevin, you are correct,

1171
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 4: by the way, all three are in the NCAA tournament

1172
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 4: eight turnovers, eight turnovers and seven turnovers.

1173
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, so just you and me again. I know mcneese's

1174
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 5: kind of known for their defense, but you would think

1175
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 5: over one hundred and thirty forty games you'd have something

1176
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 5: in the regular season that would fall into that. So

1177
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 5: I don't want to get overly psychological here, but you know,

1178
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 5: I think Brains must have been super candid with his

1179
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 5: comments throughout the last couple of weeks. I know we

1180
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 5: played audio, you know, before Senior Day and explaining you know,

1181
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 5: I get legacy, and I get what I and we

1182
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 5: have accomplished, and I know what is the one thing missing?

1183
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 5: So does any of that on his shoulders at all?

1184
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 5: As Purdue now gets closer and closer where you know

1185
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 5: I described it to start the show. You know, to me,

1186
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 5: it's a very nervous energy. If you are a Purdue fan,

1187
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 5: it's great, you obviously want to experience it, but there's

1188
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 5: some nerve wracking moments, and you know, I think it'll

1189
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 5: be very, very mixed emotions whenever this does come to

1190
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 5: an end, if it ends before. And you know, I

1191
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 5: honestly thought a little bit back to you guys. Remember

1192
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 5: the summer we chatted with the Westfield head coach Chain something, Yes,

1193
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 5: and you know, he explained, you know, a lot of

1194
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 5: the Branden background. I think he said he probably would

1195
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 5: have ended up at Belmont had Purdue never given that offer.

1196
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 5: And then a few I think he actually said Gonzaga

1197
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 5: of the other high majors out there, did start to

1198
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 5: pursue him after that. But you know, at one point,

1199
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 5: Shane Sumter's asking Chad Buchanan, you know, Ryan Carr Westfield, dads, hey,

1200
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 5: can you help out the recruitment? Ironically now Ryan Carr

1201
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 5: and Bloomington, but you know, can you help me with

1202
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 5: you know, getting this kid to be a little bit

1203
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 5: more front and center. And now here we are and

1204
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 5: he's the most decorated assist player ever in college basketball.

1205
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 2: And as you would guess, the numbers back it up too.

1206
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: And this is no shock to anybody, but especially this

1207
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: time of year, man, the team that turns the ball

1208
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: over more is going to be in a big hole.

1209
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: And I know Texas, for example, they averaged over ten

1210
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: turnovers a game this year, and they were eight and

1211
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: one when turning the ball over less than their opponents.

1212
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: So if you can take care of basketball and get

1213
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: them to make some mistakes, the season would suggest that

1214
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do to beat Texas.

1215
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 4: So now I'm curious to know how many turnovers Purdue

1216
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 4: as everaging. But nevertheless, you make a good point. I

1217
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 4: think in these times of moments, if you give up,

1218
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 4: you know, you coff the ball up, You're always vulnerable too.

1219
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 4: And this is happens every year in March. Man is

1220
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 4: to the guy who gets an open look and sees

1221
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 4: a couple go through and you're like, you never shoot

1222
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 4: like that. I mean, it's just inevitable. So you don't

1223
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 4: want to give those opportunities for like the herculean moment

1224
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 4: or something like that to happen. You kind of want to,

1225
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 4: you know, squeeze them before they get an opportunity.

1226
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 5: I asked you guys before the break, bringing it back

1227
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 5: to Ronald Norid and Butler, to kind of rank where

1228
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 5: you would put this question I have for Ronald nored

1229
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 5: how much do you view your job as raising money?

1230
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 5: Like in the hierarchy of your job, X and o's

1231
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 5: leader of men connecting to you know, high school, AAU,

1232
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 5: those types of people. Where is raising money in today's

1233
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 5: day and age? Had a coach here from a Division

1234
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 5: one school in the state listening, thank you very much

1235
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 5: for listening. Text me during the break. Raising money is

1236
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 5: easily number one for all coaches. Easily. It's just a

1237
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 5: it's just a new day and age. Totally new day

1238
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 5: and age. And you know, again if you're kind of waning, Okay,

1239
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 5: Ronald nora ad first time head coach. He's coaching college

1240
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 5: basketball for what like one year in northern Kentucky. I think, Jeff,

1241
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 5: when you went through his bio yesterday, like there's a

1242
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 5: lot of questions from that aspect of it. I think

1243
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 5: one area where you don't question nora d is energy,

1244
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 5: the ability to connect with people. And I think if

1245
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 5: you got him in a room with people that were

1246
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 5: whatever debating whether or not they should be giving money

1247
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 5: to the Butler program, certainly Winston Losses will ultimately get

1248
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 5: the true back pockets to be you know, forty nine

1249
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 5: streets finances. But I think he would have an ability

1250
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 5: to I don't know if change people's minds. But you know, wow,

1251
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 5: I want to follow that guy. I want to believe

1252
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 5: in that. I want to lead that. I want to

1253
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 5: buy a full season ticket package, you know, those sorts

1254
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 5: of things. I do think Nora Ed brings an energy

1255
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 5: level instantly that injects some much needed fuel into that program.

1256
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 4: How much do you think he has to prepare for

1257
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 4: those types of I don't want to call it like

1258
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 4: elevator pitches or speeches, but it's a different game for

1259
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 4: him too, sure, Like I think he has a trace

1260
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 4: to do it.

1261
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 5: I think it's a little naturally organic to him. But James,

1262
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 5: to your point, I do think that's that's that's different.

1263
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 4: I mean, you come from a world where in the

1264
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 4: NBA you're not worried about what the contracts are and

1265
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 4: raising money for certain things. The salary cap is what

1266
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 4: it is, and the owner decides who they want to pay.

1267
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 4: So it's just a different landscape, but one where if

1268
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 4: you can do it right, you can thrive. But that's

1269
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 4: the question, can you do it right? And can you

1270
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 4: do it at Butler like you can hang on to

1271
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 4: your glory days. I know you talked about it here, Jeff,

1272
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 4: and I think A big selling point is that you

1273
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 4: were the man, one of the men who made this

1274
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 4: program what it is. But that was yet year, and

1275
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 4: that was a totally different world from the one you're

1276
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 4: living in now.

1277
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 5: I did see yesterday Matt Norlander, who was like a

1278
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 5: super plugged in yeah good dude college basketball writer for

1279
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 5: CBS Sports. He mentioned in his piece that, per a source,

1280
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 5: Butler expects to work with at least nine million in

1281
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 5: revenue sharing and nil funding for this upcoming season. That

1282
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 5: is a very eye poppy number to me, given it's Butler,

1283
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 5: I would have not guessed that number. And you know,

1284
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 5: I know we've brought up the Michael Shrewsbury Notre Dame thing,

1285
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 5: like right now, I am so just sad, frankly, as

1286
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 5: a Notre Dame basketball fan that they seem to care

1287
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 5: about their men's basketball program as much as I care

1288
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 5: about having a six pack. It's just it's a joke.

1289
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 5: And I would argue Notre Dame's numbers probably in the

1290
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 5: two ish million, and here Butler reportedly is nine million.

1291
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,720
Speaker 5: I mean, that's healthy place to start. If you're Ronald Nora.

1292
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 4: You all throw this in there as well. Kevin Sweeney,

1293
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 4: who we had on a few times now when Sports

1294
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 4: illustrated very good on the college basketball front. He added

1295
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 4: this yesterday and said that was always going to be

1296
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 4: an essential element for whoever the next hire was, that

1297
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 4: Butler was going to get back on track. He also

1298
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 4: added that with that rev share increase, it should position

1299
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 4: it this team, it being Butler more competitively in the

1300
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 4: Big East.

1301
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 8: So again, what does that look like in practice? So

1302
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 8: that I'll kind of change just with this coaching change.

1303
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 8: Now there's nine million in revsha, what do we have before?

1304
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 8: How does that work now?

1305
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 5: Caleb? But I think it's a great great questions, a

1306
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 5: great point. I think you talked to some college coaches

1307
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 5: right now. They will tell you that part of hiring

1308
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 5: a new coach, the new coach almost demands I'm not

1309
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 5: taking this job unless you can promise me this. And

1310
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 5: again this gets back to our Hubert Davis North Carolina

1311
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 5: debate where there's some North Carolina donors that's I have

1312
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 5: seven figures ready, but I'm not giving you that. If

1313
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 5: Hubert Davis's back for a six year or whatever how

1314
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 5: many years he is, you know, you almost put the

1315
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 5: feet to the fire of you know, Bubba Cunningham in

1316
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 5: North Carolina. So yeah, it's a good question. I mean,

1317
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 5: trust me, when I saw that number, I thought to

1318
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 5: myself really like, yeah, are we sure here?

1319
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 8: I you know, just in two months, who went from

1320
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 8: Dan Hurley say his money problems to nine million?

1321
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 5: Like I'm just yeah, yeah, and you know a lot

1322
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 5: of it is well.

1323
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 3: Caleb heard they were in debt and he was like,

1324
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 3: you know what.

1325
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 5: And you know, maybe it's a question for yeah, Grant Linducker,

1326
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 5: you know, Butler A d whenever you know, he pops

1327
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 5: up here on one of these shows. You know, I

1328
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 5: know him and John had a conversation a couple of

1329
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 5: weeks ago and he was pretty honest about it. And

1330
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 5: you know, hopefully we can have Norah had on very

1331
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 5: similar to our that amount of conversations. But yeah, I'm

1332
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 5: I'm totally with you on that.

1333
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: We had an anonymous text or say, if I'm him,

1334
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: first thing I'm doing is hitting up Gordon Hayward for

1335
00:58:58,600 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: a massive donation.

1336
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's go.

1337
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 5: Look is Hayward like the GM over there or something?

1338
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1339
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 3: Is there rules against that?

1340
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 8: Ye?

1341
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 5: Can does that even work?

1342
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 8: No?

1343
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm serious, because maybe missus Hayward can do no that's

1344
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 4: a legitimate question because I read a piece about Utah

1345
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 4: State and how they're head coach after they made it

1346
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 4: to round thirty two, Like he had talked about how

1347
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 4: you gave like one hundred three thousand dollars of his

1348
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 4: own money to their program. So I'm serious, Like, is

1349
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 4: that even a thing?

1350
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 5: I would assume Gordon Hayward's allowed to donate however much

1351
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 5: he wants to do, right, I would think so.

1352
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 4: I mean every time I think that there are rules

1353
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 4: in the NCAA and reminded that they're probably not.

1354
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: Well, even when there are rules, there are a lot

1355
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: of coaches out there that are like.

1356
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 2: Is it really a rule? Let's see if they want

1357
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 2: to prosecute us for that.

1358
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,959
Speaker 8: He In the NBA you have Kawhi Leonard salary cap

1359
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 8: circumvention that's being investigated for like six months now. But

1360
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 8: in college sports, no, you're not. You're your GM can

1361
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 8: can pay whoever. I mean, that's just where we're at.

1362
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 4: You know, that is a crazy perspective to put on this.

1363
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 4: I forgot all about that.

1364
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 3: Kawhi.

1365
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's I don't know if they're going to

1366
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 8: bring the hammer down on Kawhi and the clippers, but

1367
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 8: they should.

1368
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Uh, we will keep our we will keep holding our

1369
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: breaths and wait for that one.

1370
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: Okay, let me see that.

1371
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 3: I want to be living.

1372
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: What do you think happens? First?

1373
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: They address quote unquote the tanking problem or Kawhi tanking.

1374
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well we could probably get into that. Not necessarily

1375
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 4: today or tomorrow, but that is a topic we can

1376
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 4: certainly get into because it sounds like Adam Silver is

1377
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 4: willing to or wants to make some wholesale changes to

1378
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 4: how that whole thing works. He did not sounds like

1379
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 4: somebody recently who is going to just stick with the

1380
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 4: status quo of how things have gone.

1381
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 5: I haven't really been falling, and I saw Silver had

1382
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 5: some comments lately. Are we getting Vegas in Seattle soon?

1383
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 5: Or is this like expansions not happening for several years.

1384
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: They have moved it forward one big step.

1385
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 4: I think it's with the idea of trying to get

1386
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 4: the teams up and running. I want to see maybe

1387
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 4: like twenty twenty eight, twenty nine, Okay, something like that.

1388
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 3: So it'll be a few years.

1389
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, that is big, big news in the NBA

1390
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 4: that they're moving closer to two more expansion teams and

1391
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 4: a team returning to Seattle.

1392
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: All right, coming up in a minute, we'll talk to

1393
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Cornette about the all things college basketball. Ask him

1394
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: as a former college basketball athlete now a commentator, his

1395
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on the things we're just talking about. And also,

1396
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Purdue's playing a little game against Texas tonight. More on

1397
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: that right now. It's Sweet sixteen Purdue Texas tonight, seven

1398
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: ten pm CBS. Braiden Smith goes in, averaging fourteen points,

1399
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: nine assists game, Trey copp and Ren fourteen points, eight

1400
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: rebounds a game, Fletcher Lawyer fourteen points a game. You

1401
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: get the consistency there, James.

1402
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 4: Everybody contributes, absolutely, but you need Brad Smith to be

1403
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 4: the Braden Smith that is the All American, not the

1404
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 4: eight turnover guy we saw the previous game. Not a

1405
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 4: side a braid at all. Great player, but we expect

1406
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 4: great players.

1407
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Two bounce back.

1408
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: All right, and Texas, of course, has won three games

1409
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: in a row after losing five of their last six.

1410
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Purdue has won six games in a row after running

1411
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: the table in a Big ten tournament, and they will

1412
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: be on display tonight. The question is whether or not CJ.

1413
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Cox will play. He appears ready to play with an

1414
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: injured knee that he suffered in the last game.

1415
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 2: Kevin, what do we know so far?

1416
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 5: It did some court work yesterday to and produce open

1417
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 5: practice out there in San Jose. I don't think there

1418
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 5: was anything like confirmed confirm, like one thousand percent he

1419
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 5: will be suiting up. So again, that'll be a storyline

1420
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,479
Speaker 5: to watch. Is what are we eleven and eleven hours away?

1421
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 7: Is that right?

1422
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Uh? Pretty close to that? Yeah, ten hours in the fifty.

1423
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Two minutes, yeah, less than eleven. Yeah, let's keep it going.

1424
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: The countdown is on, so that comes your way tonight.

1425
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Last night at the field House, the Lakers got off

1426
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: to a very quick start. They beat the Pacers one

1427
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: thirty seven to one thirty. I'm blaming Caleb for not

1428
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: getting to his seat soon enough.

1429
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1430
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 8: Once I got in the seat, the Pacers kind of

1431
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 8: held even and probably even outscored the Lakers in the

1432
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 8: time that I actually got to sit down and watch

1433
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 8: the game.

1434
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 2: But you remember what the score was when you got

1435
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 2: to the seat.

1436
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 8: I think it was like it was probably three minutes

1437
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 8: to go, so it was like thirty six to twenty

1438
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 8: something like that.

1439
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 3: It scored forty five I think in the first quarter.

1440
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 5: So yeah, my fault Pacer Nation.

1441
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: Look at Donsons scored forty three points. He might have

1442
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: been more responsible for the game than you. He had

1443
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: scored forty four the first time they played the Pacers.

1444
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: This year, Lebron James scored twenty three, Pascal Siakam twenty

1445
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: and eight rebounds, Andrew Nemhart though Kevin fourteen points, nineteen assists.

1446
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: He is picking up his game. He's had very last

1447
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: two games. His stats look exactly like Tyrese Haliburton down

1448
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: the stretch last year.

1449
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, for me, it's a continued reminder of Andrew number.

1450
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 5: It's a really quality basketball player, no questions asked. But

1451
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 5: if you want to say, what is his best position,

1452
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 5: I do think it's a point guard.

1453
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: WNBA Expansion Draft date has been set. It'll be April

1454
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the third. Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire will each get

1455
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: to select players off of other rosters. Teams can protect

1456
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: several players. The Fever will most likely and I say

1457
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: most likely Caleb because it's not official yet. They haven't

1458
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: turned in the official list yet, but Caitlyn Clark, Kelsey Mitchell,

1459
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Aleah Boston, Lexi Hall, Mikayla Timpson. They want to keep

1460
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: those players from being selected now they still have some

1461
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: work to do with like Lexi Hall, she's a restricted

1462
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: free agent. But those are the players that they're probably

1463
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: looking to protect at this point in time, and that

1464
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: means we don't know what's going to happen with Sophie Cunningham.

1465
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: I would think she would be an attractive option for

1466
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: an expansion team.

1467
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 4: She could be, but breaking news here, Kaitlyn Clark not

1468
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 4: going anywhere. No, she's not, so beginning a nice raise

1469
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 4: to play for the Fever in twenty twenty sEH.

1470
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 5: I don't know if Kelly Crosscoff has children, but I

1471
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 5: think there was a better chance of her children being exposed.

1472
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: In Sorry kids, family meeting. Sorry kids, I hope you

1473
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: understand right.

1474
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 3: They honest, you should.

1475
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 4: I told you if I ever had more than two kids,

1476
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 4: I'm ranking them.

1477
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 5: So how does that work? Sophie Cunnyam is a free agent, right,

1478
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 5: so yes, you can still protect your free agents.

1479
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: You could, but because also I believe they're gonna work

1480
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,439
Speaker 1: on it, but they've got some business to take care

1481
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: of with Kelsey Mitchell. So the likelihood if they protected

1482
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: both of them one of them, as they might lose

1483
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: one of them anyway as an understickted free agent, so you.

1484
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 5: Can't be losing Kelsey Mitchell.

1485
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1486
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: So those are how things are going right there as

1487
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: far as college basketball is concerned. Yesterday we broke the

1488
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: news here, well we didn't break the news, but we

1489
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: announced it. Butler hired Ronald nored to lead their basketball program,

1490
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: replacing Thad Mata. And the question I had asked the

1491
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: last hour, I'll ask it again. I'm not saying it's

1492
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: not the right hire, and there's a lot of good

1493
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: things about Ronald Norrid, but did they really look all

1494
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: that hard outside the Butler family to really see what's

1495
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: out there?

1496
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 2: Doesn't feel like it.

1497
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean if you look at I think at

1498
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 5: Keeman Gillspie from The Star had some reports and other candidates,

1499
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 5: and you know, he pretty much mentioned the what Michael Shrewsbury,

1500
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 5: John Gross's, Chris Holtman's of the world, Travis Seale doesn't

1501
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 5: really sound like was much of a thought. So yeah,

1502
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 5: Butler and the family seemed to be the other candidates there.

1503
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: All right, And we will talk to Chris Capko, the

1504
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: brand new head coach of ball State coming up at

1505
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: nine thirty this morning, and they get his thoughts on

1506
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: taking over a little maction for him. See how that goes.

1507
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: What else can we tell you about? Major League Baseball?

1508
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: Had one single game on Opening Day? Do we like

1509
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,919
Speaker 1: one single game, Caleb? On Opening Day?

1510
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 3: Now?

1511
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 8: Opening Day should be all games starting at one o'clock

1512
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 8: and four o'clock, and they should all be happening on

1513
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 8: one day.

1514
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 5: And there's baseball everywhere.

1515
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 8: And so I didn't I didn't watch any of the

1516
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 8: Netflix special last night.

1517
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and unless the Reds are playing the Yankees or

1518
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: it's the postseason, I don't want the Yankees on my television.

1519
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:36,439
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be honest.

1520
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 8: It's gonna be a tough sell to a lot of

1521
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 8: America because they do bring in the eyeballs.

1522
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, the Yankees did have a nice day. Max

1523
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Freed six and the third innings of two hit baseball,

1524
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: and the Yankees shut out the Giants seven to nothing.

1525
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Although Aaron Judge had a rough day James Oh for

1526
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: five with four strikeouts. Not Aaron Judge like.

1527
01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 4: Say that World Baseball Classic Aaron Judge postseason Aaron Judge, Yeah, Yeah,

1528
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 4: it's been it's.

1529
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 2: Been a long time.

1530
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: If you go back to the postseason last year in

1531
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic and now the opening day, Aaron's

1532
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: in a little bit of a slump, isn't he.

1533
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to find something to bust that slump.

1534
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Also, Indians will open their season tomorrow night at home

1535
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: against Saint Paul.

1536
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 2: That one starts at six point thirty five. Anything else

1537
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: you guys want to throw in this morning before we

1538
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 2: head on.

1539
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, n T Final four set. They'll be playing inside

1540
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 5: a Hinkle coming up a week from tonight, and then

1541
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 5: the championship game will be inside a Gambridge Fieldhouse at

1542
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 5: a Sunday afternoon. So next Sunday afternoon you'll have D

1543
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 5: two D three National champions Ground and the n IT

1544
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 5: it'll be Auburn. What was that? Were they the first

1545
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 5: out Stephen Pearls Auburn Tigers. I mean, there's so much

1546
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 5: debate about, you know, Bruce Pearl and all that. I'm

1547
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 5: trying to think of how they.

1548
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: They were right there, one of the two first ranked.

1549
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 5: I remember Indiana.

1550
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: I think it was the fourth out Auburn, Illinois State.

1551
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 5: That is one side of a semi final and the

1552
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 5: New Mexico and Tulsa the others. So again, that's at

1553
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 5: Hinkle coming up a week from tonight.

1554
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 1: All right, coming up at a moment, we'll have the

1555
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk to Jordan Cornett. He covers college basketball,

1556
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: of course, played for your.

1557
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: Team at one point in time. Oh man.

1558
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 5: The shaved heads at the rcaaight home in the two

1559
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 5: thousand and three NCAA Tournament, and Jordan Cornette's defensive efforts

1560
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 5: off the bench to beat Bruce Pearl and the fighting.

1561
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 5: Look at this, it's full circle beating u W Milwaukee.

1562
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 5: It's one of the more underrated moments in Notre Dame

1563
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 5: basketball history. And then they beat Illinois. Sorry, James Boyd.

1564
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 5: They beat Illinois in the round of thirty two and

1565
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 5: made it to the Sweet sixteen. Ryan Bowen and I

1566
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 5: going nuts from the nosebleeds in the RCAM.

1567
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: It's like it happened yesterday for him, Jase.

1568
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 5: I can hear the ill I n I chance ringing

1569
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 5: in my ears. But yet in the final few minutes

1570
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,879
Speaker 5: of that game, crickets.

1571
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 3: All worries, come, some furniture moving up in here, ring

1572
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 3: a commercial break.

1573
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 5: Come on, coach Chris Thomas, shaved head, torn Francis, Matt Carroll,

1574
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 5: Danny Miller lost Arizona in the Sweet sixteen, but that

1575
01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:58,759
Speaker 5: was a fun ride.

1576
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: We might just get out of the way. Let Kevin

1577
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: and Jordan's just chop it up for a few minutes away.

1578
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: The think James would not be bad.

1579
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 9: All right.

1580
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 5: Jordan Cornett's perfect gest. He was on the Westwood one

1581
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 5: call for Purdue and Miami. Obviously he's got ties to

1582
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 5: Hencklefield House with his brother. And you know, if I can,

1583
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 5: if I can I ask him one noted en basketball question,

1584
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 5: you guys, let me.

1585
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: Hear you man, Yes, I can wait till the end,

1586
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: but can you let me do one? That's okay?

1587
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 7: Thanks?

1588
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: All right, Kevin will anxiously await the upcoming conversation with

1589
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Cornett. It's a brief time out here at ninety

01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: we bring in our next guest, happy to talk to him,

1595
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: looking forward to Kevin's really looking forward to it, of course.

1596
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 2: Jordan Cornett former Notre Dame player.

1597
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: Now you can hear him see him everywhere on your

1598
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: TV and radio, most recently with Westwood One covering the

1599
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, and he is on the pay Listenkers Hotline

1600
01:09:58,560 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: as we speak.

1601
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 2: Good morning and Cornett, how you.

1602
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 7: Doing, guys.

1603
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,839
Speaker 11: It's a great day to be a live more college

1604
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 11: basketball all the docket as we get ready to start

1605
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 11: to send some teams to a Final four. I'm doing great.

1606
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 11: It's great to be on with you, guys.

1607
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: Well, we are very happy to have you on here.

1608
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: And we'll just start off with a kind of a

1609
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: ten thousand foot look at Purdue right now. They've won

1610
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: six games in a row. They look a lot more

1611
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: like the team that was the preseason number one. Really

1612
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: struggled in February. What do you think has been the

1613
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: big turnaround from in the last four weeks for this team.

1614
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 11: It's been very clear, Fellas, it's been defense. Their commitment

1615
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 11: to defending on that side of the floor. It's meant

1616
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 11: everything to a group that was in a free fall. Truthfully,

1617
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 11: towards the end of the regular season, got to Chicago

1618
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 11: for the Big Ten Tournament and really discovered that hey,

1619
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 11: if we lock in rotationally defensively, protect the rim. Takeaway

1620
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 11: transition from the opposition. We can go places, especially with

1621
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 11: the core group that they have returning. I mean this

1622
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 11: was the preseason number one in all of college basketball.

1623
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 11: Well there was a reason for that. People looked at

1624
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 11: the personnel on the roster and said this team has

1625
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 11: the best chance to win a national championship. That's what

1626
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 11: the experts felt starting the season. And so now that

1627
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,759
Speaker 11: they've gotten back to guarding with the high level commitment there,

1628
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 11: that personnel remains unchanged. They've gotten the personnel now with

1629
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 11: how they're defending to go potentially win a national championship.

1630
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 11: Braden Smith was knocked good last time out. He's got

1631
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 11: to be way better with the basketball. He's got to

1632
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 11: be more decisive, he has to be more impactful. But

1633
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,719
Speaker 11: Fletcher Lawyers shooting the basketball at a high rate right now.

1634
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 11: Trey coffin Rand knows exactly who he is. Oscar Cluff

1635
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 11: has been written protecting CJ. Cox played great for this group,

1636
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 11: knocking down shots last time out.

1637
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 7: There a connected group, Jordan.

1638
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 4: I know you mentioned Trey Kaufman Wren there, and I

1639
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 4: can't sit up here and act like he's some unknown

1640
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 4: player around the country, but he took a step backprop

1641
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 4: from a production standpoint because of the arrival of Oscar Cluff.

1642
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 4: What have you seen from him over the last few games,

1643
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,799
Speaker 4: especially come tournament time.

1644
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 11: I've seen a team commitment to establishing him on a

1645
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 11: low block and allowing him to score in isolation.

1646
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 7: Guys, this has been a look.

1647
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 11: Oscar Cluff provides a great deal. He's a bully on

1648
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 11: the backboard. He's a lumberjack with old man's strength that

1649
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 11: protects the rim. He runs the floor. Well, he's a

1650
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 11: great he's a great energy guy. But he's been producing

1651
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 11: offensively down the stretch. But when you need a bucket

1652
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 11: down low, you go to a poor man's Carl Malone

1653
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 11: in the college basketball game in Trey Kaufman rin and

1654
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 11: he's been delivering time and time again. I mean, they're

1655
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 11: blueprint to success, at least in the first weekend which

1656
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 11: I was able to be there in Saint Louis and

1657
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 11: watch was give him the ball on the low block

1658
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 11: and let him cook.

1659
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 7: He's also been great in the short role.

1660
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 11: As you guys know, you'll never see him shoot a

1661
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 11: set jump shot. It's always that little one one one

1662
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 11: armed floater, offering from around the free throw, lining in,

1663
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 11: but he's mastered it. He's been great in the pick

1664
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 11: and roll. He's been great catching on a low block.

1665
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 11: He's been good on the backboard. When you look at him,

1666
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 11: when you look Lawyer, when you look at Smith, it's

1667
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 11: three guys that understand the finality of it all.

1668
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 7: This is it. I mean, who has ever brought.

1669
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 11: A team in that is lost to a sixteen seed

1670
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 11: and has also lost in a.

1671
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 7: National title game. That's the experience those three guys present.

1672
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 5: That's a voice. Jordan Cornett, as he said, Westwood want

1673
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,560
Speaker 5: he was on the call for purduing Miami over the weekend,

1674
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 5: and obviously you see him in a variety of different

1675
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 5: platforms during the college basketball season. I do want to

1676
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 5: go to Butler here for a second. Jordan, we see

1677
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 5: the higher ye yesterday, talk about it of Ronald Nored.

1678
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 5: Obviously your family plenty of ties to that Butler program.

1679
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 5: What do you make of maybe the state of their

1680
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 5: program within the Big East in this current landscape? And

1681
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 5: how do you view Ronald Nored injecting some I would argue,

1682
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 5: much needed fuel into that program.

1683
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 11: You know what it is, it's a full facelift that

1684
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 11: is going on right there with this Butler, this Butler,

1685
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 11: this Butler program, the book that Mota was everything to.

1686
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 11: Butler was a lot to college basketball. Was a class

1687
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 11: guy with a ridiculous resume that won a ton. But

1688
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,839
Speaker 11: it was clear that this was a stop gap Higher

1689
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 11: with that who just has a great love for Butler

1690
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 11: and was, you know, serving the school and until they

1691
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 11: found their future guy that would be there for a

1692
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 11: long time. That guy's Ronald. Excuse me, guys, That guy's Ronald.

1693
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 11: Ronald is such a brilliant basketball mind, such a great

1694
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 11: guy in terms of connection to team and feel a

1695
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 11: pulse for his guys. He's ran a group in the

1696
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 11: G League. He's been in a high level assistant most

1697
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 11: recently with the Atlanta Hawks. But he understands the Butler

1698
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 11: chip and what makes that engine go, what fuels that program,

1699
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 11: how to recruit what pockets where they can win. This

1700
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 11: is a home run Higher and they needed to get

1701
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 11: it right. And with that has come a renewed sense

1702
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 11: of commitment financially from the athletic department to put them

1703
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,600
Speaker 11: in position to compete in the Big East, which is paramount.

1704
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 11: I mean, you can have the greatest coach. But if

1705
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 11: you don't have an athletic department commitment financially, you don't

1706
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 11: have a shot. Well, all that's coming together for Butler

1707
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 11: right now, and I would say by on the Butler

1708
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 11: Bulldogs early because Ronald Nora is going to get there

1709
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 11: where they.

1710
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 7: Need to go.

1711
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 5: Jordan one of my fondest memories growing up. I am

1712
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 5: an absolute Notre Dame basketball sicko.

1713
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 7: I love it.

1714
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 5: I love it thirteen years old with my brother in

1715
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 5: the nosebleeds of the RCAA Dome and the shaved heads

1716
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 5: and people forget about your contributions off the bench to

1717
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 5: upset or not upset, to get through Bruce Pearl and

1718
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 5: UW Milwaukee and then beat the fighting line. I there

1719
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 5: in round two. Just the greatest memories in the RCAA

1720
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 5: Dome watching the Irish torn Francis, Chris Thomas, Dan Miller,

1721
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 5: Matt Carroll, etc.

1722
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:53,879
Speaker 1: Get it done and go to the Sweet sixteen.

1723
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 5: So I set up all of that to say, where

1724
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 5: are we at right now with the Notre Dame men's

1725
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 5: basketball program. I am in a very nervous period as

1726
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 5: a fan right now. I'm nervous about their survival thrival

1727
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,959
Speaker 5: however you want to put it in this current climate.

1728
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 5: I was a big believer in Michael Shrewsbury, but certainly

1729
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 5: there are a lot of people that would have evidence

1730
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 5: to point otherwise. With me, right now, how should I

1731
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 5: feel about the future of the men's basketball program in

1732
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 5: South Then.

1733
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 11: Well, Kevin, let's start with I mean you rattling off

1734
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 11: all those names you were calling the path through Indianapolis

1735
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 11: for our group. I will jump on this show at

1736
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 11: one point thirty in the morning if you guys need

1737
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 11: me to it.

1738
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go, Jordan, come on, let's go on.

1739
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 7: Man that I'm how you get a guest forever?

1740
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 5: Didn't you have a now, Craig mem didn't you have

1741
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 5: a huge defensive play and or block late in that

1742
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 5: UW Milwaukee game?

1743
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got.

1744
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 11: I got caught on the the exchange with Tory and Jones.

1745
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 11: We altered the shot that would have been the game

1746
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 11: winning way.

1747
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 5: Oh man, And that thing is so cool to going.

1748
01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 11: And I had, Yeah, I did have a block a

1749
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 11: couple of seque which is before that game.

1750
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 7: But you know who remembers, right, I do? I do?

1751
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 7: I do?

1752
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, And my wife's thrilled that I remember that.

1753
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, right.

1754
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 11: That is it's funny what you can remember, which can't

1755
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 11: bring back the groceries.

1756
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 7: But here on Notre Dame. The thing about Notre.

1757
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 11: Dame right now, I'm getting a lot of you know,

1758
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,879
Speaker 11: calls and texts from people who care about the program

1759
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 11: because there are people that care about things outside of

1760
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 11: Notre Dame football. I mean, it's a lot of alumni too. Obviously,

1761
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 11: it needed it needed to and it needs to burn down.

1762
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 11: The roster that they currently have was not going to

1763
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 11: compete for a tournament berth Andy just they weren't going

1764
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 11: to be there. So there needed to be a level

1765
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 11: of embarrassment that came this past year for the athletic

1766
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 11: department of Notre Dame to look in the mirror and say, hey,

1767
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 11: if we don't provide better financial support, this is what

1768
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 11: it's going to look like and worse every single season

1769
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 11: moving forward. Can Mike is Shrew's very coach, absolutely guy

1770
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 11: want at Penn State. He's been part of the Celtics,

1771
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,600
Speaker 11: part of produced that. He understands what it is, he

1772
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 11: understands the X and o's at a high level. He's

1773
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 11: still feeling out Notre Dame and understanding the shortcomings the

1774
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 11: obstacles that come with the job. It's not one of

1775
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 11: the sexiest basketball jobs right now because of the lack

1776
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 11: of institutional support. He's going to start to get more

1777
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 11: of that. Everyone understands the monster that notorame football is.

1778
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 11: I mean, they're going to be chasing around fifty million

1779
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 11: dollars to feel the national championship contending team. So every

1780
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 11: dollar's going there. Well, now the athletic department has to

1781
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 11: figure out how some of that money can go to

1782
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 11: a budget that's not going to compete in acc basketball

1783
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 11: or on the national scale. Give it a little bit more,

1784
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 11: and now they will because we simply won't have a roster.

1785
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 11: There's seven guys in the transfer portal. We won't have

1786
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 11: a team next year.

1787
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 7: Unless they commit to spending money and.

1788
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 11: Go grabbing guys. So that number will move considerably. I

1789
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 11: know that for fact, being in those conversations. Can't share

1790
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 11: what that number is, but it's going to look different.

1791
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 11: So now it's in upon that staff to go recruit

1792
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 11: and to go bring in guys, not just high level

1793
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 11: incoming freshmen, because it's a man's game now with the

1794
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 11: transfer portal, go get guys who are rising sophomores, rising

1795
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 11: juniors and put together a group. I think everybody knows

1796
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 11: that this seat is hot for coach Shrewsbury right now,

1797
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 11: and if the results look like they have these last

1798
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 11: few years, I'd say, short of a tournament Berth, there's

1799
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 11: gonna be some real conversations there. And then coach Michael

1800
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 11: Shrewsbury knows that, and that is not a knock on

1801
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 11: his coaching ability.

1802
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 7: The guy can coach. He just needs more support within

1803
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 7: the institution.

1804
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: Who's having more fun than you right now watching college

1805
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: basketball from courtside?

1806
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, this is the best time of the year.

1807
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 11: I think you guys know the past with my brother,

1808
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 11: the tragic loss of my big brother Joey and twenty sixteen,

1809
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 11: and one of the coolest moments of my life was

1810
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 11: in two thousand and three, Kevin mentioned that Notre Dame

1811
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 11: team as a five seed that got to the second

1812
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,480
Speaker 11: weekend when my brother's group at Butler had an improbable

1813
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 11: run them else getting to the sweet sixteen that season,

1814
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 11: and that's where my brother famously coined the phrase we

1815
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 11: are still here to you know the haters out there.

1816
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 11: And I think it was Ben Holland who said that

1817
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,759
Speaker 11: Butler didn't belong in the tournament and a power conference

1818
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 11: team should be there, and all they did was topple

1819
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 11: two power conference teams to get there.

1820
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 7: And he reminded everybody.

1821
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 11: Because he was the son of a bee, said, we

1822
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 11: are still here for all those who didn't think we belonged.

1823
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 11: And so this tournament provided a forever memory, a phrase

1824
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 11: that fuels our foundation, the Jewel Cornett Foundation, and our

1825
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 11: wristbands and and.

1826
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 7: Everything we do. We are still here.

1827
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 11: Well, the genesis of that was this tournament and me

1828
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 11: and him being in the second weekend and my dad

1829
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 11: flying to meet my mom in Rochester where my brother played,

1830
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 11: and then flying that same day to get out to

1831
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 11: California to watch me that evening, and the moments that

1832
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 11: came with that. So I will forever work in this

1833
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 11: sin CAA tournament because for those days, on those game days,

1834
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 11: and I could get emotional here on the phone, I

1835
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 11: feel like my brothers, I'm down the stairs from Heaven

1836
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 11: to sit there with me to do those games. And

1837
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 11: oh gosh, guys, the goosebumps it provides. And my wife,

1838
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 11: because she's not only a superstar on the mic with

1839
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 11: the first take show out there in New York City.

1840
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 7: But she understands that. And every year my young kids.

1841
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 11: Come out with her at whatever side I'm at, and

1842
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 11: it's a family affair. And this one will be in

1843
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 11: Chicago for this week and they'll be here with me.

1844
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 7: So it's awesome. Guys, I didn't know.

1845
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 11: You probably didn't expect that loaded of an answer, But

1846
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 11: the reality is there's nothing in sports I would rather

1847
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 11: do than this.

1848
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 5: Tournament, Jordan, if I could add one thing, first off,

1849
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 5: I get chills every time Butler plays the pregame intro

1850
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 5: and your brother pops up on that screen and says

1851
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 5: all those very words that you just shared with us.

1852
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 5: But I also had this. I went to Butler basketball

1853
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 5: camp growing up, and I will never forget playing in

1854
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 5: the West Gym and your brother was my coach, and

1855
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 5: I was a very mediocre basketball player, and I took

1856
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 5: one of the softest charge as you've ever seen. It

1857
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 5: should have been a block one thousand percent. And when

1858
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 5: your brother blew his whistle and put his hand behind

1859
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 5: his head and pointed the other way that it was

1860
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 5: a charge and picked me up off the floor and

1861
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 5: slapped me, you know, on the you know what to say?

1862
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 7: What a charge? Oh?

1863
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 5: My gosh, can you believe that that was unreal? I

1864
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 5: think about that way too often, so uh, it was

1865
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 5: an unbelievable memory for a young kid. And thank you

1866
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 5: uh to Joel for providing that man.

1867
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 7: That uh that gets me, that gets me emotional. Man.

1868
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 7: He had his desk for life, and.

1869
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 11: He loved people, and he loved the game, and he

1870
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,599
Speaker 11: loved the effort, and he loved cheering for people.

1871
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 7: He was just for those who knew him.

1872
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 11: And it's probably some of those out there listening to

1873
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 11: the show right now he is.

1874
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 7: He was. He was.

1875
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 11: He was a one of one guy man, and I

1876
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 11: always looked up to him because you could walk the

1877
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,000
Speaker 11: streets here in Chicago, Connecticut where I live, hect the

1878
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 11: campus in Notre Dame, and there's gonna be some people

1879
01:22:58,880 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 11: to be like, oh that Cordeck.

1880
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 7: I want to want a bumb what a punk he was?

1881
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 7: Or this or that? And there's not.

1882
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 11: A place you go where my brother once once roamed

1883
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 11: where you wouldn't hear nothing but great things. He just

1884
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 11: loves people, saw the best in everybody, and it was

1885
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 11: all about maximizing a day with fun, maybe not with

1886
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 11: the hardest working that day or checking off the boxes

1887
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 11: he needed to. But my man was gonna have fun

1888
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 11: and he was gonna lean into people. And I think

1889
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 11: we could use a lot more of that in the

1890
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 11: world today, no matter you know, how you feel on

1891
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 11: a potential war, or on immigration or on this or that. Like,

1892
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 11: my brother just loves people. And I think this part

1893
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 11: of the year makes me remember like what's right and

1894
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 11: what's good, and that was him. And you know, guys,

1895
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 11: I'm over here waxing poetical, but you guys got me

1896
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 11: talking about it, man, and I just, uh.

1897
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,799
Speaker 7: He was special. He was just a good person.

1898
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 11: So I think for everybody out there, like smile today,

1899
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 11: have funks, that's what my brother would be doing if

1900
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 11: he was still here.

1901
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 7: And he is still here with us.

1902
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna get me emotional, Jordan, thank you.

1903
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, I appreciate you guys bringing them up. Everybody

1906
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 11: to shoot. I love hearing all those kind of stories.

1907
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 11: And that's that's what it's about. This time of the

1908
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 11: year is the best. It's all about the emotions of

1909
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 11: the tournament and and you know, careers being made, careers

1910
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 11: ending up, the emotions and a high level stuff that

1911
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 11: goes into this, and this is a culmination.

1912
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 7: Of a beautiful sport, a great season. I love this

Speaker 1: It's Fan Morning Show ninety three five, one oh seven

1928
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: The Fan. Let's do quickly the NBA Draft Lottery simulator

1929
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: this morning. The Indiana Pacers losing to the Lakers last night.

1930
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 1: Lakers are playing pretty good basketball right now, James. They

1931
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: may be a little bit of a roadbump for people

1932
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: in the West right now.

1933
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're third in the West.

1934
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing really good basketball.

1935
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: So last night the Pacers lose after their modest one game,

1936
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 1: you can't call it a winning streak, came, You've got

1937
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: to have at least two for a streak, right, what

1938
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: were constitutions? Anyway, they won one against Orlando, they lose

1939
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: last night, and here we go, not the best Kevin fifth, fifth,

1940
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: that's not good.

1941
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 5: That's I believe what's happened in the last three years, the

1942
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 5: team with the worst record has later drafted fifth. So yeah, again,

1943
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 5: just to remind everybody, the worst, second or third worst

1944
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 5: record in the league, which the Pacers are very much

1945
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 5: in line to hold one of those three spots, you

1946
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 5: got a fifty two percent chance at a top four pick.

1947
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 4: So aren't the Patris like one of a few teams

1948
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 4: that has never selected number one overall?

1949
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:05,120
Speaker 1: I believe.

1950
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 2: So that's someone was.

1951
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 5: Saying they've never had the number one overall pick period

1952
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 5: on their roster, Like, you know, Oh, that's crazier. You know,

1953
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of a former number one you know,

1954
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 5: Kwame Yah.

1955
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 4: I did see that, and I was trying to like

1956
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 4: debunk it, but it might honestly be true.

1957
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 5: I know why I thought of Kwame Brown.

1958
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,719
Speaker 1: So in today's simulation, Sacramento got the number one pick,

1959
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: Memphis two, Utah three, Dallas four, Indiana five. You don't

1960
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: want that fifth spot, James, that's not what you're looking for.

1961
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 5: Well, ask you guys what I asked Tony E's yesterday.

1962
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 5: The NBA draft is such a crap shoot, right, It's

1963
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 5: very difficult, I think to hit on a draft pick

1964
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:45,680
Speaker 5: best player available, that's what you have to do. You

1965
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 5: can't force a position, right, Well, what if the best

1966
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 5: player available is Darius Aca.

1967
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1968
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 8: I would jump in here and just say, like, man,

1969
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 8: it would be a real tough ask for a team

1970
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 8: next year that we all think is going to try

1971
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 8: to go for it to draft somebody that doesn't fit

1972
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 8: and everything else is so stable that to me, it

1973
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 8: would be really tough. I thought it was a great

1974
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 8: question you asked, Tony, and I definitely get the best

1975
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 8: player available argument. But I do think there needs to

1976
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 8: be some element of like, Okay, if we're gonna try

1977
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 8: to go for this, which everybody thinks that's what they're doing,

1978
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 8: it needs to be a piece that can kind of

1979
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 8: seamlessly just drop in and go from there.

1980
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 3: In my opinion, that's kind of where I'm at.

1981
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 4: Caleb Black, Who, in your mind do you think he

1982
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 4: could jump in the Big four?

1983
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 3: Kevin?

1984
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 4: I guess that's more so where I'm at. I know

1985
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 4: Darius Acuff is playing great basketball as of late, but

1986
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 4: a ball dominant guard being higher up on the Pacers

1987
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 4: big board than somebody else, I'm just not seeing that.

1988
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:57,839
Speaker 4: And even if the board falls a little bit differently,

1989
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 4: I still don't think that he would be ahead of

1990
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 4: Cam Boozer A J. Debanza, Caleb Wilson, would.

1991
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 5: You say that around the league or are you just

1992
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 5: talking the Pacers formulating their own board?

1993
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: I guess about Pacers, Yeah.

1994
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 5: But do you formulate your board based off your roster?

1995
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 7: That?

1996
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 5: That seems to be a kind of a shortsighted I

1997
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 5: think you right, don't you formulate the board of a Okay,

1998
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 5: this is who we think the best NBA prospects are,

1999
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 5: and then inevitably I think positional, Like again, if the

2000
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 5: best player available in the NFL as a quarterback, and

2001
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 5: the Chiefs around the clock, they're not taking a quarterback

2002
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 5: like I understand there's some of that, but I'm just curious.

2003
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 5: I guess answer that one James. Do you think Darius

2004
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 5: Acup is the fifth best prospect universally for thirty teams

2005
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 5: or you speaking just for the Pacers.

2006
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:47,759
Speaker 3: Probably just for the Pacer.

2007
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,600
Speaker 4: This is hard to say what the uniform looked like

2008
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 4: would be across the league. But even then, I'm I'm questioning, Okay,

2009
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 4: has he done enough to leap frog these guys. I mean,

2010
01:28:58,240 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 4: he's playing great, don't get me wrong, like he's a

2011
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 4: great player, But did we forget out Kayla Wilson looked

2012
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 4: I like, no player of the Year is probably Cameron Boozer.

2013
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 5: I like Kayler Wilson a lot, but there's also a

2014
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 5: part of me that's like we And again my hand

2015
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 5: is raised. I said this earlier in the week. I

2016
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 5: don't think we did a good enough job talking about

2017
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 5: Darius A Cuffer in the regular season. I mean, it's

2018
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 5: not like this dude had a quiet regular season. It's

2019
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:21,759
Speaker 5: not like you just had two games in the tournament

2020
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 5: where he's SC Player of the Year and I mean

2021
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 5: have aged over twenty a game in the SEC.

2022
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I look at it this way, Kevin.

2023
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: I think this group of four or five players, they're

2024
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 1: all projected to be really good players they are now

2025
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 1: if you think that, if you believe, if you're Kevin

2026
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 1: Pritchard and you just look at Acuff and you go,

2027
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy checks every box I've ever

2028
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 1: been looking for.

2029
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 2: I'll figure out the fit later. That's one thing.

2030
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: But I also think you're in an interesting position this year,

2031
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: which doesn't happen every year, where you got three, four,

2032
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: maybe five guys that all project to be really good

2033
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: NBA players. And if that's the case, all things been equal,

2034
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: then you gotta go for fit, don't you if all

2035
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,679
Speaker 1: the other things, unless you think somebody is just head

2036
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 1: and shoulders above everybody else.

2037
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 5: To answer my own, yeah, I mean I think there

2038
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 5: is a level of fit that matters, and the Pacers

2039
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:14,799
Speaker 5: are in a unique situation.

2040
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 7: Now.

2041
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 5: Some would counter and say, as a franchise, you never

2042
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 5: plan on being on the top five ever again, or

2043
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 5: at least for the next X amount of years, so

2044
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 5: that that means you try to hit the home run,

2045
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 5: you try to hit the Grand Slam.

2046
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't think that drafting a ball dominant

2047
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,679
Speaker 4: point guard is gone the PACER's radar.

2048
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,759
Speaker 3: You got tires Halliburton free of singles.

2049
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 2: Now, all right, coming up to the next hour.

2050
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 1: Chris Scepco is the new ball State basketball coach.

2051
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:39,559
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him.

2052
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 1: We'll get you ready to go for tonight's perdue game

2053
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 1: against Texas and a whole lot more Texas at two, three, nine,

2054
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: ten seventy. Tell us what's on your mind. We'll continue

2055
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:49,679
Speaker 1: in a moment ninety three, five and one oh seven.

2056
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 2: Yetch up and going.

2057
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,719
Speaker 1: This morning on the Fan Morning Show, James Boyd, Kevin Bowen,

2058
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Caleb Zoover in for the ever vacationing Mark Dyke.

2059
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 2: Last I saw Mark social feed. He was drinking beers.

2060
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 8: Has he gotten the Tokyo Dome ice cream sandwich yet?

2061
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 2: I haven't heard.

2062
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: We'll have to check in with him a little bit

2063
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 1: later on on that. I was with the kids spring

2064
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 1: Breakers at Universal Studios in Los Angeles over the weekend.

2065
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: They have this thing at the There's a whole part

2066
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 1: of the park dedicated to the Simpsons.

2067
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,799
Speaker 2: Right. They have this huge doughnut.

2068
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 1: It's like ten bucks, but it feeds like six It's

2069
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 1: that big.

2070
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 5: Did you get it?

2071
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,599
Speaker 2: Yeah? And of course we didn't need nearly half.

2072
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: Of it by the time it is all said and done.

2073
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 2: But now it was a good time.

2074
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: So hopefully Mark's having a good time with his girls

2075
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: on spring break. And your kids are one's on spring break,

2076
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 1: everybody else a little bit too young, clearly right.

2077
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:50,520
Speaker 5: We got two too. Yeah, Nelly at four months though.

2078
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, no spring break, constant spring break for her. Man,

2079
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: she's on forever spring break right now.

2080
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 4: It's probably like Nick Cotten Jim and his daughter who's

2081
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:02,200
Speaker 4: nine months old, and she was it next to me yesterday, Kevin,

2082
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 4: and Nick looks over. He's like, hey, man, you know

2083
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 4: this is three or three. You know, here's what it

2084
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 4: looks like. And I was like, boy, I'm still terrified.

2085
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 1: Nick is the guy that puts together our birth the.

2086
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 5: Weabite, by the way, best birth trow in the world.

2087
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:15,760
Speaker 3: But shout out to him and his family, and you know,

2088
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:16,679
Speaker 3: Nick is a great guy.

2089
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 1: It's all good stuff. So we hope Mark's having a

2090
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: good time. When was the best spring break.

2091
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 2: You ever had?

2092
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 7: Caleb?

2093
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 3: I think I said this the other day.

2094
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 8: He just took a trip down to Florida back in

2095
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 8: twenty twenty two, sophomore drove through the night.

2096
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how we did it, but we did it.

2097
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 3: You Yeah, it was great.

2098
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember sleeping a lot.

2099
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 5: How that goes.

2100
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 1: It's The Fan Morning Show ninety three five one oh

2101
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:41,760
Speaker 1: seven five The Fan. We do have business to take

2102
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 1: care of, because Purdue has business to take care of.

2103
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Another opportunity for Mett Painter in his group to get

2104
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 1: rolling again. And think about this, these guys get to

2105
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 1: the Elite eight with a win tonight, should they beat Texas,

2106
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 1: that's at least an Elite eight to go with a

2107
01:32:57,920 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: Final four International Championship appearance.

2108
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:00,719
Speaker 7: Not bad.

2109
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's act of a run.

2110
01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 9: Ye.

2111
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 5: I mean it again, I sound like a broken record,

2112
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 5: but you know there it's one of the greatest senior

2113
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 5: classes we have ever seen. Obviously a Purdue I'd argue,

2114
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 5: maybe in the Big Ten when you look at it

2115
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 5: from a conference standpoint, but still you want more. That's

2116
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 5: just it's how sports work, it's how fandom works. It's

2117
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 5: you know, if Carson Beck happens to complete a few

2118
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 5: more passes at the end of that National Championship game,

2119
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 5: it feels different obviously for IU fans, even though the

2120
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 5: story is insane, just getting to the national title game.

2121
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:38,640
Speaker 5: And I think in a way that's kind of how

2122
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 5: Purdue fans would feel about this, James hit the nail

2123
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 5: on the head. I think for the last couple of weeks,

2124
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 5: it's you know, you're a victim of your own success.

2125
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 5: When you get to this point of you know, ninety

2126
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 5: eight percent of college basketball programs would love to just

2127
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 5: be playing tonights.

2128
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you have earned the right to get

2129
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 3: your heart broken.

2130
01:33:57,600 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 7: Right.

2131
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 5: Seriously, it sounds it's a little bit like Peyton Manning's

2132
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 5: run with the Bolts.

2133
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 4: Because you know they're capable and on any given night,

2134
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 4: I still think this team, this produe team, can't beat

2135
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 4: anybody in the country. But it's always about I'm not

2136
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,680
Speaker 4: saying anything here as groundbreaking news, but can you have

2137
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 4: your best nights on the nights you absolutely need it

2138
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 4: because this is not going to be easy.

2139
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 3: None of it is.

2140
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 4: And honestly, even looking back at their run to the

2141
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 4: National Championship Game a few years ago, they ran into

2142
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 4: one of the all time great college teams. Like, I mean,

2143
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:32,640
Speaker 4: any other year with that program, you're probably hoisting the

2144
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 4: trophy up.

2145
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 3: So that's how sports go. And as we know, they.

2146
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,720
Speaker 4: Can be cruel, Like we love it for all of

2147
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,759
Speaker 4: the joy, but we also can hate it at times

2148
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 4: because it's like, boy that I need to feel that

2149
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:44,840
Speaker 4: kind of pain to day.

2150
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 5: I got the vibe listening to the Texas players chat yesterday.

2151
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:52,120
Speaker 5: They think Cam Heidie's presence is a big deal. They

2152
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 5: think Cam Heidie's got whatever legit intel. You think that's

2153
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 5: a fair statement, you think it's out of proportion. How

2154
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,720
Speaker 5: do you view Cam Heidie's presence with Texas here over

2155
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 5: the last four days.

2156
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 4: I think this is a great talking point for us

2157
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:12,639
Speaker 4: and something will probably blow a little bit out of proportion. Well,

2158
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 4: my thing is this, And to use a football reference,

2159
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 4: you remember like leasing to boom Over in Seattle. Sure,

2160
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 4: And I'll never forget some of the stories I've heard

2161
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 4: about their defense and when Gus Bradley was calling it,

2162
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 4: and I remember, I forget which game it was, It

2163
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 4: might have been a Super Bowl. I think Richard Sherman

2164
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,960
Speaker 4: has talked about this when they play the Broncos and

2165
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:32,640
Speaker 4: blew him out and he said, yeah, we ran the

2166
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 4: same play every play except for one. So, I mean,

2167
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:41,679
Speaker 4: Cam Heidi probably knows some of the Purdue plays and

2168
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 4: what they want to do philosophically, but can you stop it.

2169
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 4: I mean, they have the number one offense in the country.

2170
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 4: So a lot of teams probably know what they want

2171
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 4: to do or are capable of, but they have been

2172
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 4: able to stop it.

2173
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 3: So I'm not too worried about it.

2174
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 5: Well, and again, you know, when you watch Purdue play

2175
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 5: PJ Thompson virtually every time down the floor, you know

2176
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,040
Speaker 5: he's drawing something up on the white board, and you

2177
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:01,639
Speaker 5: know he does kind of angle it a little bit

2178
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 5: so Braden Smith can can see it. So and you know,

2179
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 5: for those that haven't paid attention to Texas, I guess

2180
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,559
Speaker 5: I should mention this Cam Heidi starts, but really he

2181
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 5: doesn't play a lot. I mean, it's like I'd have

2182
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 5: to look up his minutes, but I would argue here

2183
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 5: lately it's been even last game where he hit the

2184
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 5: game clinching shot, I want to say he played like

2185
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:21,639
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes the entire game. So you know how much

2186
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 5: can be done from the bench if you look at

2187
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 5: it from a Heidi.

2188
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 1: Standpoint, Cam Heidi this year is averaging twenty two minutes

2189
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:35,599
Speaker 1: a game, where like Dylan Swayn is averaging thirty almost

2190
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: thirty three minutes a game.

2191
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 4: So but to Kevin's point, thirteen minutes last game, Yeah.

2192
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems like lately with Texas. I mean, i'd

2193
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 5: have to double check that, but it just doesn't seem

2194
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:48,759
Speaker 5: like he's really what you said. You have twenty something

2195
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 5: twenty two point for me, it just seems like he

2196
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 5: hasn't played that many even.

2197
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, they've got some good players on that

2198
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 1: starting front.

2199
01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:58,759
Speaker 2: You know, it's starting five for Texas.

2200
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 1: Swaying Is is their leader in points, their leader in rebounds,

2201
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: their leader in assists. Uh Titus the big guy we've

2202
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: seen play really well in this tournament so far. Tramond

2203
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 1: Mark hit the game winner in that first four game.

2204
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:15,040
Speaker 1: You've talked for quite a bit about Jordan Pope in

2205
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: the last hour. So it's not this can be when

2206
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 1: they're playing their best basketball. This is a pretty there's

2207
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: a pretty good opponent right here, Kevin. I know they

2208
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 1: haven't always played their best this year, but when they do,

2209
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 1: they could be tough to be Yeah.

2210
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:29,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they also lost five or six.

2211
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's a reason there were seven and

2212
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 2: a half.

2213
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 7: They they were of the.

2214
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 5: Last teams to make the tournament. I understand they made

2215
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 5: the Sweet sixteen. Good on that, but I don't want

2216
01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 5: to over you know, be hyperbolic with Texas.

2217
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,600
Speaker 4: So I do want to ask this then you know

2218
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 4: you're a diehard Nor Dame fan?

2219
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,280
Speaker 5: Did I come Was that a little too strong with

2220
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 5: Jordan Cornett?

2221
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:47,479
Speaker 7: No?

2222
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 4: No, no, I thought it was great. Actually, I'm pretty sure. Yes,

2223
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 4: I thought that was great.

2224
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:51,879
Speaker 7: And I was hearing.

2225
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,559
Speaker 1: About there were rainbows.

2226
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:56,599
Speaker 3: And podcast coming soon.

2227
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 5: I saw Caleb's tringing behind the glass and I was

2228
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:01,799
Speaker 5: nervous cut.

2229
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 3: His mic off.

2230
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 1: We had rainbows and we had hearts just floating through

2231
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: the air around here during that. But it was good.

2232
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 4: The question I have is, Okay, so you're a diehard

2233
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 4: Notre Dame men's basketball fan, would you feel the same

2234
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 4: way if they were in this position like about Okay, well,

2235
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 4: Texas isn't really you.

2236
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 8: Know, Devin would be nervous. That's what I'm at to

2237
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 8: be careful for the eighth man, off the best man.

2238
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 4: I don't want to act like Texas anything, but come

2239
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 4: on now, like you have to once't you feel so?

2240
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 6: Well?

2241
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 7: Yeah? Again.

2242
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 5: You can look at it from a fan, or you

2243
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 5: can look at it from an objective point of view.

2244
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 5: And we're coming at.

2245
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,280
Speaker 4: I feel like March's madness. The reason why we're not

2246
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 4: objective is because it's madness.

2247
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 5: An objective point of view, are we not? You know,

2248
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 5: like Oku made the Sweet sixteen against Gonzaga a few

2249
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 5: years ago, and I'm sure for four days we all

2250
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 5: were like, Gonzaga, man, they're really good this year, blah

2251
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:57,800
Speaker 5: blah blah. And Purdue, you know, handle Gonzaga quite well.

2252
01:38:57,880 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 5: And again I get Purdue fans say, yeah, and we

2253
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:02,679
Speaker 5: all Saint Peter's in the sweet sixteen, Like I geta

2254
01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 5: still hurts me. Yes, I understand that the tournament is

2255
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:08,880
Speaker 5: a tournament, But Vegas has the line at what seven

2256
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 5: and a half for a reason? Right, It's not as

2257
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 5: close as Iowa Nebraska's line tonight. It's not as close

2258
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 5: as Illinois Houston's line tonight, you know, I mean, like

2259
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 5: that's just the reality of the nature of this matchup.

2260
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 5: What's Arkansas Arizona that's.

2261
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 2: Seven and a half, yeah, seven and a half.

2262
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 5: But you look at that Houston region the other one tonight.

2263
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 5: What both those got to be close to Pickham's right.

2264
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Just two and a half, Houston minus two and a half.

2265
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 1: So I'm just curious outside of Texas Purdue, which we're

2266
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 1: obviously going to be focusing on of those other three games,

2267
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really good matchups there.

2268
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 2: This is a multi TV night for me.

2269
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 5: What it's a multi coffee day because you got to

2270
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 5: stay up for the late I mean those two games

2271
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 5: that James is late at night.

2272
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:50,760
Speaker 2: James is not sleeping tonight.

2273
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 5: I think Arizona Arkansas is an outstanding game. Yeah, that

2274
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:55,879
Speaker 5: might be the two best backcourts left in the tournament.

2275
01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 4: I think I'm at the point now where once you

2276
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,759
Speaker 4: get to the round with a nick name, I'm pretty

2277
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 4: watching watching every game.

2278
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: Said so, of the remaining three games, which one if

2279
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:08,719
Speaker 1: I if I if you could only watch one of them?

2280
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 5: Well, you said Illinois Houston a lot this week, But

2281
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 5: I do think Arizona Arkansas is a great great I

2282
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 5: undercard sound stupid to some people. They might rather watch

2283
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:21,680
Speaker 5: Arizona Arkansas mm hmm.

2284
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 2: And coaches too.

2285
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Illinois Houston, you got Underwood against Sampson UH

2286
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: and two great coaches, obviously Caliperi in the in the

2287
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 1: Arkansas game, Iowa Nebraska, you have a sending coaches right now,

2288
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 1: so this would be fun to watch tonight.

2289
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,879
Speaker 5: I'm Lloyd fielding questions in the North Carolina job yesterdays.

2290
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: He's the hot guy for Arizona right now.

2291
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 5: He was sweating as much as me asking Jordan Cornett

2292
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 5: about no name basketball speak of that. Do you have

2293
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 5: this Ronald nor Ad? Audio Caleb, So we had Norad

2294
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 5: on the show. This is a couple of years ago.

2295
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 5: I think it was when I was a Jake in

2296
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,640
Speaker 5: the morning and Norad at this point, James, were you

2297
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 5: covering the pacers when he was a summer league coach?

2298
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I remember walking up to him and asking, hey, guys,

2299
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:00,920
Speaker 4: her niece's playing today.

2300
01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:05,479
Speaker 5: So funny this interview. He had just worked out Tyre's Halliburton.

2301
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 5: It was a summer morning, and then he was getting

2302
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 5: ready for the first practice with the summer lead team.

2303
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 5: This is Benedict Matherin's summer league team. So a couple

2304
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 5: of years ago, and Butler had just hired Thad Mada.

2305
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 5: So I had asked him earlier in the interview if

2306
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 5: he had spoken to Butler for the opening, and he

2307
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:23,719
Speaker 5: said that he did. He had talked to Barry Collier

2308
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:28,320
Speaker 5: about the Butler opening, but they obviously went with Fad Mada.

2309
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 5: And so then to end it, I was just curious

2310
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 5: with Ronald nored You know how he viewed his future

2311
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 5: in coaching. Ronald last one from US in five to

2312
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 5: ten years. Where do you hope to be professionally?

2313
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 12: I hope to be an NBA head coach.

2314
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 5: You think that's possible.

2315
01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 12: I think it's possible. Sure, it's really difficult to do.

2316
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,240
Speaker 12: It's really I mean, there's thirty of them in the

2317
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 12: in the in the world, and it takes a lot

2318
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:00,640
Speaker 12: of work, and there's a lot of great coaches, and

2319
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 12: so you know, for me, it's it's more about just working,

2320
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 12: but being in positions where I can just get better

2321
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 12: and then if it happens kind of like I was

2322
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 12: saying about those players, if the opportunity comes about, and great,

2323
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 12: But you know that's what I aspire to be and

2324
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 12: that's what I work hard to do one day and

2325
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 12: you know, God willing it'll happen.

2326
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 13: Do you have to go back now to shooting baskets

2327
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:23,919
Speaker 13: with Tyrese Haliburton.

2328
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:25,639
Speaker 7: I don't.

2329
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:29,760
Speaker 12: We're done for the day. He's probably running around, you know,

2330
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 12: cracking jokes and making everybody smile. But it's we start

2331
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 12: practice here in a little bit and so it's time

2332
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 12: to get to work.

2333
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:38,840
Speaker 13: But it's pretty encouraging, is it not that in the

2334
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 13: first day of July, like before nine o'clock in the morning,

2335
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 13: the guy that's theoretically the next base of the frame.

2336
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:46,320
Speaker 5: So there you go, Ron in horder. Let us a

2337
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 5: couple of years ago, and you know, James was kind

2338
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:50,560
Speaker 5: of funny when he was with the Pacers there, I

2339
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 5: kind of assumed he would become an NBA coach.

2340
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seemed like he had developed his tracking rapport

2341
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 4: in the league and even with that staff, and you

2342
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 4: know Rock Carlisle, one of his calling cards when it

2343
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:06,800
Speaker 4: comes to his assistance is that he empowers them. And

2344
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 4: so I'm not mad at him for pivoting and trying

2345
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,120
Speaker 4: to chase a different dream now. But yeah, there's no

2346
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 4: doubt that he had certainly earned a great level of respect,

2347
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 4: and I don't doubt the x's and o's, the enthusiasm.

2348
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 4: A lot of it, as it always does, will come

2349
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 4: down to money.

2350
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:26,720
Speaker 5: Try to remember, was he was he one of the

2351
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:28,639
Speaker 5: coordinators will see like offense or defense.

2352
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 3: I can't remember. It's been a few years for me.

2353
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 5: Because I was still when they had Mike Winer, right.

2354
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I do remember this distinctly, like he was

2355
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 4: very much into player development, like he was all in

2356
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 4: with Tyresee and a few of those guys watching film,

2357
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 4: breaking down clips and doing extra work off to the side.

2358
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 4: So that's what I remember the most about him. And

2359
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 4: when he got that Summer League opportunity to be the

2360
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:53,520
Speaker 4: head coach of that team, he was so grateful and

2361
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:55,720
Speaker 4: again looking back at it, it's so crazy to see

2362
01:43:55,760 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 4: how things have changed for certain people in those actions,

2363
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,760
Speaker 4: because for him, he's now the Butler head coach. And

2364
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 4: again I'm asking him if Aaron Nesmith, who had just

2365
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:07,400
Speaker 4: traded for is going to play in the Summer League.

2366
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 7: Aaron E.

2367
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 3: Smith just started in the.

2368
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 4: Finals, so you know, and has gotten a nice NBA

2369
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 4: contract and is basically had his career thrive here in Indianapolis.

2370
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 4: So it's a full circle moment for Ronald and well deserved.

2371
01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:24,080
Speaker 1: I think just thirty six years old, is that right, Kevin, Yeah?

2372
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:25,880
Speaker 5: I think yeah. If I remember correctly, him and I

2373
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 5: I think were the same high school graduating class. And remember,

2374
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,000
Speaker 5: you know, he took that Butler or he took that

2375
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,680
Speaker 5: Brownsburg job at the I went back and listened to

2376
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:35,840
Speaker 5: that interview yesterday we did with him. He was telling

2377
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,720
Speaker 5: the story about taking the Brownsburg job that at some

2378
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 5: point during his final season at Butler, Brad Stevens says

2379
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 5: to him, Hey, I think it was after the conference tournament.

2380
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 5: He goes, Hey, after the conference tournament, I want you

2381
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 5: to come over to my house. I've got an opportunity

2382
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 5: for you that i want to discuss. And Norah was like,

2383
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 5: nobody went to coach Steven's house. That was not a

2384
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 5: thing that we did. And so he he was very

2385
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 5: like kind of caught off guard by it. And I

2386
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 5: guess the Brownsburg I hope I have this right. I

2387
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 5: think it's the Brownsburg superintendent had somehow reached out to

2388
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 5: Brad Stevens and said that I think Ronald was maybe

2389
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 5: doing some like AAU coaching in the summer when he

2390
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:20,200
Speaker 5: was at Butler, and was like, I want Ronald Nori

2391
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 5: to be our high school basketball coach. And I mean

2392
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 5: that's Brownsburg, that's not your one a school down the

2393
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 5: road where you know he's got a family connection. I mean,

2394
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 5: where do you go to high school somewhere in Alabama?

2395
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 5: I think yeah for Nora Edl. So he you know,

2396
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 5: took the Brownsburg job the first year after playing, so yeah,

2397
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:40,680
Speaker 5: he was saying that they lost a I forget who

2398
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:43,639
Speaker 5: they lost to, but Butler actually lost in their conference tournament.

2399
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 5: The second year when they made it all the way

2400
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:48,160
Speaker 5: to the national title game again, he goes up at

2401
01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 5: Brad Stevens house and Brad Stevens is like, hey man,

2402
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:52,840
Speaker 5: Brownsburg High School wants to hire you once you're done here.

2403
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 4: Well, that's a better interaction than I had when I

2404
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 4: started off in this field. Fresh out of college, got

2405
01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:01,680
Speaker 4: sent to Mayville High School for first day of football

2406
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 4: practice in the fall, and they asked me if I

2407
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 4: was trying out for the team wide receivers over there,

2408
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 4: and I said, I'm not a wide receiver and I'm

2409
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 4: not in.

2410
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 1: High school and I don't like getting hit either.

2411
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 11: Right.

2412
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:14,559
Speaker 5: Oh no, Well, you could just pull your car over

2413
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 5: on sixty five and you could watch practice right there.

2414
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:17,760
Speaker 3: It really could.

2415
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the fields right there.

2416
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 3: I always drive past that school when I'm going there.

2417
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 7: Yep.

2418
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: Uh, you're getting excited for the Cathedral game State championship game.

2419
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 2: You're alma mater on Saturday.

2420
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:27,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2421
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 5: They had a huge comeback to beat Silver Creek in

2422
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 5: the semi state. Keaton Old George was outstanding in that one.

2423
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 5: So it sounds like the new Haven story is a

2424
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 5: great one. That's who they play new Haven. Shout out

2425
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:41,719
Speaker 5: of VJ. Beacham, former Notre Dame basketball player from new Haven.

2426
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 5: I believe I heard Greg Grigshall say earlier this week

2427
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 5: new Haven has never won a state title in any

2428
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 5: say not, which is pretty cool. So I know a

2429
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:52,360
Speaker 5: lot of people like playing for number three. I know

2430
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 5: a lot of people like to root against Cathedral, and

2431
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:57,000
Speaker 5: so the new Haven story is one that's easy to

2432
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 5: root for. So yeah, that is a cool story. I

2433
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 5: think we don't have a lot of that. I think

2434
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 5: in this year's class. I believe they have the most

2435
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 5: losses of any team twenty two and seven that is playing.

2436
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 5: So yeah, that'll be your first game of the night

2437
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:10,960
Speaker 5: cap and you're are you doing both three A and

2438
01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:11,880
Speaker 5: four just for it.

2439
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 1: I've got the four A game and both the Mount

2440
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: Vernon Crown Point looking for their first.

2441
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 2: Ever state titles. There you go in basketball basketball?

2442
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, Crown Point James great wrestling program.

2443
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I forget the kid's name, but years ago

2444
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,600
Speaker 4: they had a dude that won like three straight.

2445
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:34,280
Speaker 5: State search search something weird like that.

2446
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 3: No, I think it was like Mendez or something.

2447
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 5: But nevertheless, the region can produce some wrestlers.

2448
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:42,719
Speaker 1: You saw a Crownpoint game this year, right, Yeah?

2449
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 3: I love their head coach, Clint Swan.

2450
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 5: You saw a crown Point Mount Vernon, didn't you.

2451
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the game that I saw. And Clint

2452
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 4: told me that he's been coaching for twenty nine years

2453
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:52,559
Speaker 4: until him I was thirty, and he said, you should

2454
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:55,280
Speaker 4: have told me that. But here's the kids name, Jesse Mendez.

2455
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 4: He was a great, great wrestler at Crownpoint a few

2456
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:00,679
Speaker 4: years ago, actually a four time day champion.

2457
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,840
Speaker 1: All right, that's what's happening in high school sports right now.

2458
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 1: Everything else happens here. And now we'll start with the

01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:35,760
Speaker 2: Sounds like it.

2470
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if we have anything confirmed, but

2471
01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:40,360
Speaker 5: sound like you did some stuff on the floor yesterday

2472
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:43,320
Speaker 5: during their open practice for Texas. They also have an

2473
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 5: injury to watch. Jordan Pope, one of their more dynamic guards.

2474
01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:49,720
Speaker 5: He injured his ankle late in their win over Gonzaga

2475
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 5: in the round of thirty two. So a couple of

2476
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:54,920
Speaker 5: guard related injuries. And again not to look ahead, but

2477
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:58,639
Speaker 5: I will. If Purdue does win, the CJ. Cox presence

2478
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 5: in defending Arizona and or Arkansa or Arkansas's backcourt will

2479
01:49:03,200 --> 01:49:06,799
Speaker 5: be vital. So you know, you could probably survive Texas

2480
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 5: with a banged up CJ. Cox. But that next game,

2481
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:11,719
Speaker 5: I believe you, Cam.

2482
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

2483
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 1: NBA last night at the field House, it was a

2484
01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:18,760
Speaker 1: short lived winning streak against Orlando, but the Lakers came to.

2485
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 2: Town and they winning streak.

2486
01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 1: One game they won against Orlando this year. This year,

2487
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:29,200
Speaker 1: that's a streak, James boy. But the Lakers won at

2488
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:30,040
Speaker 1: won thirty seven to one.

2489
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 2: Thirty.

2490
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Look at Doncts. He had forty four the first time

2491
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 1: these two teams played this year. Backed it up with

2492
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:37,320
Speaker 1: forty three last night. Lebron James contributed to twenty three.

2493
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves at twenty five, but man I said, this

2494
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 1: is the first hour Lebron can still moved. You see

2495
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:46,880
Speaker 1: that Dunky had right over he posterized the Huff last night.

2496
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he dunked all over that team last night. But

2497
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 4: that's all right. The Pacers shall return.

2498
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: Didn't a couple of minutes later, Caleb didn't Huff get

2499
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:56,679
Speaker 1: a big dunk rout like two trips down the floor

2500
01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 1: after that.

2501
01:49:57,160 --> 01:49:57,920
Speaker 2: Too, he did.

2502
01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 8: He had a couple of those statue of Liberty unks

2503
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 8: last night.

2504
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 5: Thank that King.

2505
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 1: M hmm.

2506
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 5: By the way, I saw himoff going to play out

2507
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 5: every game this year. Is he still? Is he still

2508
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 5: on track? I think he's the only pacern could be.

2509
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 7: Off.

2510
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:12,760
Speaker 1: To double check that we But Caitlin Clark was was

2511
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:14,320
Speaker 1: serving as a photographer last night.

2512
01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 2: I saw some of the photos she took on social

2513
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 2: media today. She got a.

2514
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 1: Picture of that Jay Huff slam and it was a

2515
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: good one and it looked like he was looking right

2516
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: at her when he slammed it too. So that's what's

2517
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 1: going on there. Also in the NBA last night, crazy

2518
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: numbers continue. Nuggets beat the Mavericks one forty two, one

2519
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: thirty five, a fifty three point night for Jamal Murray.

2520
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 1: But how about this line for Nikola Jokic Kevin twenty

2521
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:40,280
Speaker 1: three points, twenty one rebounds in nineteen assists. You're playing

2522
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: at home, doesn't your home scorekeeper have to get you

2523
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 1: one more assist on a night like that?

2524
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,840
Speaker 5: It is, Yes, there goes his bonus he's going to give.

2525
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 5: I wouldn't won the Yoakic brothers mad at may if

2526
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:51,920
Speaker 5: ire that statistician.

2527
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: Also perhaps a preview Celtics over the Thunder one nineteen

2528
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 1: one on nine.

2529
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:59,360
Speaker 2: And the Celtics have been playing really.

2530
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 1: Good basketballs and they got Jason Tatum back James, they

2531
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:02,679
Speaker 1: look good.

2532
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly, And shout out to Jason Tatum for being

2533
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:08,599
Speaker 4: inspiration of Halliburton and others.

2534
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 3: When it comes to the occozal covery.

2535
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:12,639
Speaker 1: All right, major League Baseball's opening day yesterday with one

2536
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:17,479
Speaker 1: single solitary soul game, Caleb was invested in every pitch. No,

2537
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: you were at the at the Pacers game last night,

2538
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 1: that's right, all right? The Yankees won seven to nothing

2539
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 1: over the Giants. Max Freed terrific start, two hit performance

2540
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 1: on just six and a third inning.

2541

Speaker 2: So you looked good.

2542
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:30,120

2546
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 1: you got a double header tonight. The Red's right into Purdue.

2547
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:44,040
Speaker 1: Reds might win it all. Let's go there. They're undefeated

2548
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 1: so far this year. Let's go Andrew Abbott on the

01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 5: Jeff was inspirational?

2555
01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 4: Honestly, yeah, I think Jeff in that bubble headline.

2556
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:09,799

01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 1: Enfield quite a bit over the last several years.

2626
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:49,320
Speaker 7: Correct.

2627
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've been with him for twelve years, and you know,

2628
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:57,040
Speaker 9: it's just been really hard to leave him, and not

2629
01:54:57,120 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 9: that I've been trying to, but you know, when this busines,

2630
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 9: this is so tough. Man. When you got somebody who

2631
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 9: gives you a good quality of life, to treat you

2632
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:07,200
Speaker 9: with respect, who gave me a lot of responsibility, you know,

2633
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 9: it was just it had the opportunity had to be

2634
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 9: right for me to leave. I was happy with what

2635
01:55:11,320 --> 01:55:13,280
Speaker 9: we had accomplished, where we were at You know, my

2636
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 9: family was happy with where we were living and how

2637
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 9: things were going, So it has to take a really

2638
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 9: good opportunity to get me to go somewhere. And I

2639
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 9: felt like Ball State was at I felt like here

2640
01:55:22,880 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 9: there was real alignment between the president D A. D and

2641
01:55:26,040 --> 01:55:27,720
Speaker 9: myself and felt at the time it was right.

2642
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 7: Again.

2643
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:32,000
Speaker 4: We're talking to Chris CapCo, the new head coach at

2644
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 4: ball State for men's basketball. Chris, I know he talks

2645
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 4: about being in alignment with the ball State administration and

2646
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 4: their athletic staff. What made this the right time for

2647
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:44,600
Speaker 4: you to make this leap to being a head coach

2648
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:48,240
Speaker 4: and also what made Ball State the right opportunity for you?

2649
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I've been fortunate enough where I could

2650
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 9: be patient, right, and I was in no rush to

2651
01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:58,879
Speaker 9: go anywhere where I felt like there wasn't real alignment.

2652
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 9: After my first conversation with the ad Jeff Mitchell, I

2653
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:07,240
Speaker 9: could tell he wanted to be good like you know,

2654
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 9: for me, I think whether it's a first time head

2655
01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 9: coach or a second time head coach or whatever, all

2656
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:14,120
Speaker 9: you can ask for is to go somewhere were the

2657
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 9: people who are put in place to make you be successful.

2658
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 9: They really and genuinely want you to be successful, that

2659
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:22,560
Speaker 9: they're going to try to do whatever they can to

2660
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 9: give you the resources to make you as competitive as possible.

2661
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:27,680
Speaker 9: And I felt that was Jeff. I felt a real

2662
01:56:28,160 --> 01:56:30,640
Speaker 9: I could tell I was his guy. Just the way

2663
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:32,800
Speaker 9: he engaged with me, in the way he communicated with me.

2664
01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 9: I could tell he was invested in me, and I

2665
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 9: had a really good sense that he was gonna do

2666
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 9: whatever he could in his power to make me successful.

2667
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 9: And that's all I could ask for. I didn't talk

2668
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 9: to President Marns. He felt the same way, or I

2669
01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:45,480
Speaker 9: got the same field from him. And because of that,

2670
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 9: you know, only coming two months in the last couple

2671
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 9: of days and seeing like the support and seeing how

2672
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 9: people come out and how they actually care about is

2673
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 9: only confirmed how I felt about this place. So I

2674
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 9: felt like it was a home run for me. At

2675
01:56:58,120 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 9: some point I was going to have to take a

2676
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 9: leap of faith in myself and bet on myself and

2677
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 9: show I was ready to do this. And I felt

2678
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 9: like with their alignment and just kind of where the

2679
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 9: time he was with everything, that this was the time

2680
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 9: to do it.

2681
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:10,000
Speaker 5: The voice of Chris CapCo, the new head coach up there,

2682
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 5: shout out Dill Street ball State as they will try

2683
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,120
Speaker 5: to end date type believe it's a twenty six year

2684
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 5: drought and make the nca tournament. Coach, did I hear

2685
01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 5: correctly that you got a newborn? Like really young?

2686
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:27,000
Speaker 9: You did fifteen days old? It's a good hacktic Yeah.

2687
01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:30,240
Speaker 9: March ninth, March ninth, I'm in the mix right now.

2688
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 7: Boys.

2689
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:34,240
Speaker 5: Wow, congrats, I'm in the mix. Congrats on that. Hope

2690
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 5: mom is healthy and doing well. I do the scan

2691
01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:41,560
Speaker 5: of the bio. I don't see any obvious or direct

2692
01:57:41,600 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 5: ties to the state or ball State in general. Was

2693
01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:46,320
Speaker 5: there anything that I'm missing there?

2694
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:48,120
Speaker 11: Uh?

2695
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 9: No, there is nothing. The only tie I have Ball

2696
01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:54,840
Speaker 9: Stay was that Darren Smith is from my area. I'm

2697
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:58,840
Speaker 9: from Lakeland, Florida. Thereon was from Auburndlle, Florida, and he

2698
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 9: was a senior when I was a freshmen, so I

2699
01:58:00,640 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 9: know him loosely. But when he signed with Ball State

2700
01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 9: coming out of high school, I followed his career and

2701
01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 9: he had a great career, two time All Max Election

2702
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 9: was on the last term a team at ball State,

2703
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 9: so that was my first connection to it. But other

2704
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:14,320
Speaker 9: than that, I have no ties to the state of Indiana,

2705
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:16,440
Speaker 9: no ties the months he no ties to ball state.

2706
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 5: Have you recruited the state much, if at all.

2707
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:23,960
Speaker 9: I have not, so I have not, but I'm not

2708
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 9: worried about it, guys, to be honest with you, and

2709
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:28,440
Speaker 9: I said this at my press conference my last two stops,

2710
01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 9: I had no ties to those places either. I had

2711
01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:33,040
Speaker 9: no ties to USC or LA. I had come from

2712
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 9: Georgia and spent my whole career in the South before

2713
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 9: I went there, and like I said, fixed McDonald's all

2714
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 9: Americans and eleven pros later it worked out pretty well.

2715
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:45,400
Speaker 9: And then when we came to Dallas became SMU. You know,

2716
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:47,280
Speaker 9: I haven't do the state of Texas much. I had

2717
01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 9: no familiarity with Dallas and just went in there immersed

2718
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 9: ourselves in it. And I feel confident that wherever I

2719
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:57,000
Speaker 9: go I can make relationships. I'm gonna work at it.

2720
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 9: I'm gonna be inclusive. We're gonna make sure that people

2721
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 9: have access to what we do so they become familiar

2722
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 9: familiar with us. And then I'm going to hire a

2723
01:59:04,040 --> 01:59:07,200
Speaker 9: staff who does have connections in the Midwest, in Indiana

2724
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:10,839
Speaker 9: at all different levels, who can point me in those directions.

2725
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,040
Speaker 9: But I'm going to work at building relationships. I'm gonna

2726
01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:15,480
Speaker 9: work at evaluating the kids in the state, and we're

2727
01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 9: going to do the best job that we can to

2728
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:18,800
Speaker 9: make sure that these kids are a priority and we

2729
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 9: bring the right kids in and kids who have a

2730
01:59:20,960 --> 01:59:23,320
Speaker 9: chip on the shoulder and know what it means to

2731
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 9: be of all State Cardinal and know what kind of

2732
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 9: town months he is. And We're going to work at that.

2733
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:29,800
Speaker 9: But I'm not concerned with that, guys.

2734
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, Chris, when you look at

2735
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:35,840
Speaker 4: the changing landscape of college basketball and you've been in

2736
01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:39,240
Speaker 4: it for quite some time, what have you learned over

2737
01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:42,200
Speaker 4: the last few years with the introduction of nil and

2738
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:46,200
Speaker 4: money and salaries and transfer portal? Like, how confident are

2739
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:48,880
Speaker 4: you in just that world, in that realm of your

2740
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:50,160
Speaker 4: responsibilities at this point?

2741
01:59:51,560 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm super comfortable. And I told Justice during the

2742
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 9: interview process. You know, I've been an associate head coach

2743
01:59:57,360 --> 01:59:59,840
Speaker 9: for I think six years now, starting of the track

2744
01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:03,840
Speaker 9: of But anyways, when we transitioned from USC to SMU

2745
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 9: and we had to take over a whole new roster,

2746
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:10,600
Speaker 9: you know, learning a new area similar to what I'm

2747
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 9: doing now. The money had started to take a jump

2748
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:15,720
Speaker 9: that off season from you know, I don't want to

2749
02:00:15,720 --> 02:00:18,320
Speaker 9: say it's minimal, but it really took this huge jump

2750
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:20,080
Speaker 9: in terms of what we were actually paying the kids

2751
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:23,400
Speaker 9: and how we were negotiating. And when we came out

2752
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 9: on the other side of that, we won twenty four

2753
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 9: games our first year at SMU, and when I came

2754
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 9: out on the other side of that having to hire

2755
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:30,520
Speaker 9: a new staff, right, we had to hire a couple

2756
02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:32,920
Speaker 9: of new staff members, and coach gave me a lot

2757
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,000
Speaker 9: of responsibility with that that when I came out of that,

2758
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:37,000
Speaker 9: I knew I was ready. I had never been more

2759
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,200
Speaker 9: convicted that I was ready after coming out of that

2760
02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:42,800
Speaker 9: and the success that we had. So you're right, it's changing.

2761
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 9: It's chaos. My first thing is I want to get

2762
02:00:45,040 --> 02:00:47,080
Speaker 9: a feel for the guys at ball State who want

2763
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 9: to stay and go. I think there's some guys who

2764
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:51,320
Speaker 9: I would love to have, but it's got to make sense, right,

2765
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:53,400
Speaker 9: It's got to be the right people. Then we got

2766
02:00:53,400 --> 02:00:55,840
Speaker 9: to talk business and make sure that we can come

2767
02:00:55,880 --> 02:01:01,440
Speaker 9: to the right number, so to speak, sense for both sides.

2768
02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:03,880
Speaker 9: And then after that, hopefully once I get a better

2769
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:05,680
Speaker 9: sense of who's staying and going. Then I can really

2770
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:09,120
Speaker 9: attack the strengths and weaknesses of those guys who we

2771
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:10,760
Speaker 9: know are coming back. With those guys we got to

2772
02:01:10,760 --> 02:01:12,600
Speaker 9: go get in the portal or in the high school class

2773
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 9: and things like that. But it's fluid, it's ever changing.

2774
02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 9: Things can change at the snap of a finger. But

2775
02:01:18,840 --> 02:01:21,080
Speaker 9: that's you know, I'm not the only one going through

2776
02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:22,920
Speaker 9: that challenge right now. We're all going through and we

2777
02:01:22,960 --> 02:01:24,480
Speaker 9: all have to navigate it in our own way.

2778
02:01:25,040 --> 02:01:28,640
Speaker 5: Chris, last one from me, and appreciate your time. You know,

2779
02:01:29,040 --> 02:01:31,240
Speaker 5: when the new coach is hired, you know you hear okay,

2780
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:32,960
Speaker 5: you know x's and o's. What's he like?

2781
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:33,800
Speaker 7: You know?

2782
02:01:34,040 --> 02:01:34,920
Speaker 9: You know is he a.

2783
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:35,840
Speaker 5: Leader of men?

2784
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:37,360
Speaker 1: You know the whole.

2785
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:41,280
Speaker 5: Recruiting landscape, connections, you know, NBA ties, et cetera, et cetera.

2786
02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:45,120
Speaker 5: How much do you view raising money as a part

2787
02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:45,760
Speaker 5: of your job.

2788
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:52,080
Speaker 9: It's DeepArt now obviously, you know you have to do

2789
02:01:52,120 --> 02:01:53,720
Speaker 9: all that stuff right at the end of the day,

2790
02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:56,760
Speaker 9: the products you put on the floor and the outcome matters,

2791
02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:00,320
Speaker 9: But it starts with being competitive and an else. And

2792
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:02,880
Speaker 9: that was one of the reasons again you talk about

2793
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:04,720
Speaker 9: why I decided to come here and why the timing

2794
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:08,000
Speaker 9: was right. My talks with my administration, I felt like

2795
02:02:08,080 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 9: the timing was right that they were going to be

2796
02:02:09,680 --> 02:02:13,240
Speaker 9: committed to giving me the proper nile resources to be competitive.

2797
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 9: Now it's up to me, with the help of them

2798
02:02:16,520 --> 02:02:19,400
Speaker 9: in our administration and other people in development and stuff

2799
02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:22,280
Speaker 9: like that, to go out there and raise more money

2800
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:25,040
Speaker 9: to allow us to be even more competitive. But the

2801
02:02:25,120 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 9: caveat to that is is why you have to be

2802
02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 9: competitive in that space. I also have to make smart,

2803
02:02:31,400 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 9: rational decisions and that's where you know, I'm putting the

2804
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:36,960
Speaker 9: staff together and one you know, I hired an analytics guy,

2805
02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:39,040
Speaker 9: was my first hire, because we are going to put

2806
02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:41,000
Speaker 9: our gun and our instinct, We're going to combine it

2807
02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:43,680
Speaker 9: with the data and analytics to come about make the

2808
02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:47,200
Speaker 9: most rational decisions that we can. You have to be smart.

2809
02:02:47,280 --> 02:02:49,840
Speaker 9: You have to be efficient because people don't want to

2810
02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 9: give money and I just go out there and spend

2811
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 9: it frivolously. So I take that that part of it

2812
02:02:53,520 --> 02:02:56,880
Speaker 9: very seriously. But the fundraising part is a huge part

2813
02:02:56,880 --> 02:03:00,080
Speaker 9: of it now because that's the first component, and giving

2814
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:03,480
Speaker 9: you the opportunity to be competitive is making sure you

2815
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:05,760
Speaker 9: have the proper resources in place, and some of that

2816
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:06,360
Speaker 9: falls on me.

2817
02:03:07,280 --> 02:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna have fun watching you. Best of luck

2818
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 1: up there. We'll have you on the show as often

2819
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:15,320
Speaker 1: as we can. And congratulations again, man, there's nothing like

2820
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: having a newborn. It's terrific. Yeah.

2821
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:19,680
Speaker 9: I appreciate you, guys, Thanks so much.

2822
02:03:19,760 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 7: Thanks Beach. There he is.

2823
02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: He's the brand new head coach of the ball State Cardinals.

2824
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:26,240
Speaker 1: That is Chris CapCo joining us here on the paylist

2825
02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:26,960
Speaker 1: lookers hotline.

2826
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:29,360
Speaker 5: I find that a little wild, like when you see

2827
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:32,720
Speaker 5: mid major programs and I'm not just talking whatever Butler

2828
02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 5: and you know, again classifying Butler as a mid majors, uh,

2829
02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:37,480
Speaker 5: you know, not fair in the big East realm, but

2830
02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 5: you don't typically see the higher I think at that

2831
02:03:43,640 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 5: level have like zero ties geographically. Yeah, that's a little

2832
02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:49,760
Speaker 5: unusual to me, is it not to you?

2833
02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 7: Guys?

2834
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:52,040
Speaker 5: No, And it's a one eighty from the previous guy,

2835
02:03:52,080 --> 02:03:55,280
Speaker 5: to be honest with you, Michael Lewis, of course, Jaspernadive

2836
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:58,920
Speaker 5: and I you you know, player and assistant and Butler

2837
02:03:58,920 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera.

2838
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:01,800
Speaker 4: No, I think you're spot on with that, Kevin, because

2839
02:04:01,800 --> 02:04:04,400
Speaker 4: you talk about like the seven degrees of separation in

2840
02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 4: life and sports is like two or three. And to

2841
02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 4: not have very many ties, really no ties to ball

2842
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,480
Speaker 4: State is a little weird, but it can.

2843
02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:13,880
Speaker 7: Be good weird.

2844
02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:17,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm very confident, dude, and very confident given

2845
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:19,360
Speaker 4: his resume coming over from SMU. They just got to

2846
02:04:19,360 --> 02:04:21,520
Speaker 4: the tournament for the first time in several years and

2847
02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 4: had a great recruiting class. He has something on his

2848
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:27,040
Speaker 4: resume to back up why you want him to lead

2849
02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:27,560
Speaker 4: your program.

2850
02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:29,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was talking about the McDonald's All Americans

2851
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:33,760
Speaker 1: and NBA guys that he has recruited during his time,

2852
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 1: mostly with Andy Enfield. But yeah, Bronnie James, Evan Mobley,

2853
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah call Year guys like that. I mean, he's been

2854
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 1: able to find guys anywhere.

2855
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 4: Ronnie James four points last night against the Pacers, You.

2856
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Got a good time erupted for four points last night

2857
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:49,919
Speaker 1: against the Pacers.

2858
02:04:50,080 --> 02:04:52,600
Speaker 3: Shout out him, my buddy? Is it Dan? How you

2859
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:54,000
Speaker 3: said his last name? Wokeie Woke?

2860
02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 4: He's our Lakers reporter did a feature story on Bronnie

2861
02:04:58,040 --> 02:04:59,560
Speaker 4: James after the game, and I was thinking, boy to

Speaker 4: be lebron and so score four points, do you get

2863

Speaker 5: Great time to be alive. Ron and Bronni, you're living life.

2865
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:08,000
Speaker 5: Just travel the US, play in the NBA, and like

2866
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:10,320
Speaker 5: play golf together. It was cool seeing him yesterday.

2867
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 8: I thought, like just dapping each other up like bron

2868
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 8: and I think when Bronny missed a shot, bron was

2869
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:17,760
Speaker 8: getting on him a little bit, like it's just cool

2870
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:18,240
Speaker 8: to see that.

2871
02:05:18,360 --> 02:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did you see that video of Lebron

2872
02:05:21,440 --> 02:05:23,520

02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:30,440
Speaker 5: almost snap hooed into the pickle ball course there.

2877
02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:33,360
Speaker 2: You need to get sixteenth t Can you give him

2878

02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 5: I am gonna go out on a limb and say

2880
02:05:35,600 --> 02:05:38,240
Speaker 5: Lebron has access to some unbelievable golf coat.

2881
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not Kevin Bowen.

2882
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:42,000
Speaker 5: Well, Kevin Bowen, you only get worse.

02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 2: Can you do that, Lebron.

2885
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:48,040
Speaker 1: We'll get Lebron to play at the Fan Invitational?

2886
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 5: What do you think, Frank lavin Airport? He can fly

2887

Speaker 1: and the start of the Sweet sixteen, Caleb, I know you.

2896
02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:16,240

Speaker 1: Opening day for a lot of teams today, including are

2898

Speaker 1: the Red Sox.

2900
02:06:23,760 --> 02:06:27,400
Speaker 8: The best, the best thing about being a sports fan

2901
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,040
Speaker 8: is those days when there's sports on at one o'clock

2902
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:33,600
Speaker 8: in the afternoon. So I'm glad baseball's back. I feel

2903
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:37,480
Speaker 8: like it's snuck up. It really really did. But glad

2904
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 8: it's here and I'm ready to go.

Speaker 2: and shying away from the Cubs in there.

2913
02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:57,320
Speaker 8: No, it's true, it's true. But I know we've made

2914
02:06:57,560 --> 02:06:59,040
Speaker 8: a long story about my fandom.

2915
02:06:59,040 --> 02:06:59,360
Speaker 3: This week.

2916
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm a Detroit Tigers fan. Okay, it's supposed to be

2917
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:03,280
Speaker 2: pretty decent.

2918
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:05,720
Speaker 8: This year should be might be last year with Trek

2919
02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 8: Scoobluh in a Tiger's uniform before he probably goes to.

2920
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 5: The Dodgers or something.

2921
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:10,640
Speaker 7: I don't know.

2922
02:07:10,720 --> 02:07:11,280
Speaker 2: He will be.

2923
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Pitching at Petco Park this afternoon at Fourteenth's right, fourteen like.

2924
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:18,560
Speaker 3: Me, Caleb, I'm a diehard Dodgers fan, like teams that spend.

2925
02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:21,200
Speaker 4: And you're telling me about the Pearly gates. Okay, Hey,

2926
02:07:21,240 --> 02:07:23,160
Speaker 4: I told you. My hot take for sports is that

2927
02:07:23,240 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 4: bandwagon fans a genius?

2928
02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 5: Is That's right?

2929
02:07:25,200 --> 02:07:27,040
Speaker 3: Why be miserable? You could be happy every year?

2930
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 2: Uh huh?

2931
02:07:28,400 --> 02:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Isn't being a sports fan at times? Isn't being miserable

2932
02:07:31,280 --> 02:07:32,320
Speaker 1: part of being a sports fan.

2933
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 3: I've seen the light, Kevin.

2934
02:07:36,320 --> 02:07:38,160
Speaker 1: You've had the ups and downs of sports fandom in

2935
02:07:38,200 --> 02:07:40,120
Speaker 1: your lifetime. Who's made you the most miserable?

2936
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:46,520
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, just a pleasant thought. I mean, all I

2937
02:07:46,520 --> 02:07:49,200
Speaker 5: do is think about the losses Bush Bush lead eight

2938
02:07:49,240 --> 02:07:53,920
Speaker 5: against Kentucky Shrewsbury own after the ref from cal That.

2939
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Was, Yeah, that was this year.

2940
02:07:56,360 --> 02:07:57,960
Speaker 3: It's one of the funniest.

2941
02:07:57,600 --> 02:07:59,640
Speaker 5: Videos ever don't have to remind me of that.

2942
02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:03,200
Speaker 2: That was before the injury, right.

2943
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 5: Up before the torneuil. Yeah, yes, yeah, you guys worried

2944
02:08:08,040 --> 02:08:10,280
Speaker 5: about Purdue. You guys act like you're you. You guys

2945
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:12,440
Speaker 5: seem like you're worried about Purdue. I'm not worried about Producer.

2946
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 1: I worry about any game that's won and done.

2947
02:08:16,520 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 2: All I gotta do is have a bad shooting night.

2948
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:20,880
Speaker 8: I think you gotta have you gotta have a good

2949
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:25,760
Speaker 8: Braiden Smith game tonight. Turnovers can't be there. They're gonna

2950
02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 8: try to drag you down into the mud. Texas's like,

2951
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:31,960
Speaker 8: gotta gotta keep the uh, the turnovers down if you're

2952
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:33,640
Speaker 8: Braiden Smith and just play a controlled game.

2953
02:08:33,960 --> 02:08:39,400
Speaker 4: I think if Purdue had played better against Miami and

2954
02:08:39,480 --> 02:08:42,760
Speaker 4: perhaps like in that first half, I feel differently because

2955
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:45,240
Speaker 4: I thought TJ. Cox built him out, honestly, Yeah, those

2956
02:08:45,240 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 4: three three Yeah, I was because I was like, you

2957
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 4: guys are kind of flirting with disaster here and boy

2958
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:51,640
Speaker 4: with an errative to be a lot different had they

2959
02:08:51,720 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 4: lost that game, but live in reality and they won it.

2960
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:55,360
Speaker 3: But That's where I'm at.

2961
02:08:55,440 --> 02:08:57,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's to Caleb's point, like I do

2962
02:08:57,200 --> 02:09:00,839
Speaker 5: have questions about Purdue from a rebounding standpoint, from you know, defending,

2963
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:03,800
Speaker 5: you know, strong drivers, you know, things like that.

2964
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 1: So you don't want to throw in any things that.

2965
02:09:07,760 --> 02:09:12,480
Speaker 5: You don't feel, you know, confident about, like turnovers or

2966
02:09:12,520 --> 02:09:14,920
Speaker 5: Braden Smith playing like you did last game. You know,

2967
02:09:15,040 --> 02:09:16,360
Speaker 5: now all of a sudden you throw that in there,

2968
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:19,560
Speaker 5: and it's like, Okay, that's one I expected to be

2969
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:21,360
Speaker 5: not happening tonight.

2970
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: And they shot it great against Miami.

2971
02:09:24,800 --> 02:09:27,360
Speaker 5: I mean, like as poor as they played or if

2972
02:09:27,400 --> 02:09:29,720
Speaker 5: you want to label their grade for the game, it

2973
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:32,280
Speaker 5: was really just kind of rooted in turnovers more than

2974
02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:35,280
Speaker 5: they shot a grade. So I don't know. They're in

2975
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:38,240
Speaker 5: another hockey arena right tonight. Maybe they'll shoot it good

2976
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 5: again in that building.

2977
02:09:40,400 --> 02:09:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all the baseball games later today too,

2978
02:09:42,640 --> 02:09:45,720
Speaker 1: and the very first game that gets played today it's

2979
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:48,400
Speaker 1: at one point fifteen, And if you just love baseball,

2980
02:09:49,560 --> 02:09:52,600
Speaker 1: this pitching match of Paul Skins and Freddie Peralta as

2981
02:09:52,680 --> 02:09:55,560
Speaker 1: the Pirates take on the Mets, Like, if you like baseball, Caleb,

2982
02:09:56,200 --> 02:09:58,280
Speaker 1: that should be an interesting game to watch.

2983
02:09:58,520 --> 02:09:59,640
Speaker 5: Do you like baseball?

2984
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 7: I do?

2985
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:02,160
Speaker 8: Are you gonna watch that game?

2986
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:03,000
Speaker 2: Parts? Of it.

2987
02:10:03,040 --> 02:10:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I don't think I'll be there every I

2988
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:07,360
Speaker 1: will not be there every pitch, but it'll be on.

2989
02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 1: It'll be on in the back shirt as I'm prepping

2990
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:11,160
Speaker 1: for the four A game today.

2991
02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:11,600
Speaker 9: Sure.

2992
02:10:11,960 --> 02:10:14,240
Speaker 8: And you know what, the only time the Pirates are

2993
02:10:14,240 --> 02:10:16,880
Speaker 8: probably worth watching is when Paul Skins is on the mound.

2994
02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:19,000
Speaker 3: So today is one of those days.

2995
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:21,440
Speaker 5: We're always difficult to watch baseball this year?

2996
02:10:21,480 --> 02:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Did I get wind of that? Is there?

2997
02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:25,080
Speaker 5: Am I not just gonna be able to dial up

2998
02:10:25,560 --> 02:10:28,800
Speaker 5: my normal TV viewing? Like usually I get every Reds game.

2999
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:30,360
Speaker 5: I have eight and t you verse, someone's telling me

3000
02:10:30,440 --> 02:10:32,680
Speaker 5: yesterday you're not going to get it? Is that true?

3001
02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:38,320
Speaker 2: Probably because baseball has the like Baseball makes.

3002
02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:42,080
Speaker 1: It hard for you to watch your team every year.

3003
02:10:42,360 --> 02:10:46,120
Speaker 1: They make it harder and harder and harder to watch.

3004
02:10:47,120 --> 02:10:51,240
Speaker 1: They are so fragmented and so interested in getting every

3005
02:10:51,280 --> 02:10:54,200
Speaker 1: teeny tiny last penny out of you that they make

3006
02:10:54,240 --> 02:10:57,040
Speaker 1: it almost impossible for you to watch your team on

3007
02:10:57,080 --> 02:10:58,880
Speaker 1: a continuous regular.

3008
02:10:58,480 --> 02:11:01,840
Speaker 3: Basiskybe just how ed boy after the show? Yeah, but

3009
02:11:02,160 --> 02:11:03,400
Speaker 3: time to illegally stream?

3010
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:06,720
Speaker 5: I know, But I, like James said, James, gonna have

3011
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:09,640
Speaker 5: my house burned down? The illegal streams will be firing

3012
02:11:09,720 --> 02:11:10,000
Speaker 5: up here.

3013
02:11:10,120 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

3014
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:13,040
Speaker 4: It will be burned down? It'll be jumping up in there.

3015
02:11:13,080 --> 02:11:17,400
Speaker 5: Man games, you didn't even know wrongs like man, what

3016
02:11:17,440 --> 02:11:19,600
Speaker 5: are these pop ups are all of a sudden showing

3017
02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:20,959
Speaker 5: up on daddy's laptop?

3018
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:22,960
Speaker 1: The electric What are you talking about?

3019
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Uh?

3020
02:11:25,640 --> 02:11:26,240
Speaker 3: Little faith?

3021
02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I don't know. NBC is supposedly so I

3022
02:11:30,120 --> 02:11:32,680
Speaker 1: guess the Peacock. You could probably watch Pirates mits today.

3023
02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:35,080
Speaker 5: I know I'm a little sentimental, but I really enjoyed

3024
02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:36,400
Speaker 5: the conversation with Jordan Cornett.

3025
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:40,040
Speaker 3: First, I really was. It was sentimental honestly, you.

3026
02:11:40,040 --> 02:11:41,960
Speaker 5: Know, I think it's college basset went INSIGHT's great, let's

3027
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 5: start there. But you know, anytime I hear talk about

3028
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:48,200
Speaker 5: his brother, I was always enjoy it, And so I

3029
02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:51,480
Speaker 5: really enjoyed brother was a baller to Jordan Cornette popping

3030
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:55,560
Speaker 5: on and just dumbelialle personality, and for him to share

3031
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:57,680
Speaker 5: a time with us, greatly appreciate it. Little nerd dame

3032
02:11:57,760 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 5: basketball talk for the three people out there that would

3033
02:11:59,920 --> 02:12:03,160
Speaker 5: like that. But more than that, I think you'll enjoy that.

3034
02:12:03,200 --> 02:12:04,880
Speaker 5: Up on the podcast, Caleb will have that up along

3035
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 5: with Chris CapCo. We just chatted with the new ball

3036
02:12:06,560 --> 02:12:07,200
Speaker 5: State coache Yeah.

3037
02:12:07,200 --> 02:12:09,240
Speaker 4: I think one of the reallest things he said was,

3038
02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:13,240
Speaker 4: don't tell me you're sorry to talk about my brother,

3039
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:16,400
Speaker 4: because obviously it's painful. But I think that's a point

3040
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:20,200
Speaker 4: we all can probably like resonate with losing somebody. You're like,

3041
02:12:20,200 --> 02:12:21,760
Speaker 4: you know what, it is probably good to bring him

3042
02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:24,360
Speaker 4: up every now and then reminisce and so a lot

3043
02:12:24,400 --> 02:12:26,000
Speaker 4: of good memories. I'm sure he had run through his

3044
02:12:26,040 --> 02:12:27,560
Speaker 4: mind throughout the interview well, and I was.

3045
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:30,040
Speaker 5: Glad he shared a little bit more context around the

3046
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:33,240
Speaker 5: and I can hear see Joel Cornette get closer to

3047
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:37,960
Speaker 5: the mic going and we are still here. And I

3048
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:41,120
Speaker 5: had forgotten the Ben Howland part to that of him

3049
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:43,200
Speaker 5: not thinking Butler should have been in the tournament. I

3050
02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:45,240
Speaker 5: forget Butler beat. I want to say it was Oklahoma

3051
02:12:45,240 --> 02:12:47,520
Speaker 5: and Louisville maybe those first two games to get to

3052
02:12:47,520 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 5: the sweet sixteen. And you imagine being the Cornett parents.

3053
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:53,200
Speaker 5: Both your sons are in the sweet sixteen, you know,

3054
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:55,480
Speaker 5: and you're traveling across the country trying to make that work.

3055
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:59,600
Speaker 5: So good problems again, fun fun chat with him and

3056
02:13:00,600 --> 02:13:02,120
Speaker 5: a lot of Purdue talk as well, because he was

3057
02:13:02,160 --> 02:13:04,120
Speaker 5: on the Westwood one call and he helped us get

3058
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:06,040
Speaker 5: set up for tonight seven to ten on CBS.

3059
02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:08,800

Speaker 2: I go Purdue by a dozen, Purdue by six.
