00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,080

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 5: I somehow someway as a three seed knocked off a

42
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 5: fourteen seed pen.

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 6: My wife went to bed disappointed.

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a text from Jeff and he says

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 7: the picture of his wife with the pen zip up

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 7: on it said, lawyer wife was ready to rumble. And

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 7: I texted back, get her in a line of hoodie

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 7: until she knows what winning feels like, you know, I mean, hey,

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 7: I know you talk about all the wins you have

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 7: in life, Jeff, but come on now.

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: No, it was a lot of fun.

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: Everybody watches the NCAA Tournament at this point in time,

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 5: Even at the Mark Dyden household, weren't most.

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: TVs on NCAA tournament games last night.

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 8: Addison's first question when she got out of school not

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 8: only had nothing to do with her birthday, she said,

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 8: how's my bracket doing now?

58
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 9: But the kids might just be all right.

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: I apologies we couldn't properly sing to her yesterday. That's okay,

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: she forgives you, guys.

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 5: It was a rough opening salvo for the Big Ten yesterday.

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 5: The first game out of the gates, Texas Christian University

63
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 5: beats Ohio.

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: State sixty six to sixty.

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 5: Four, and they had had a big first half lead.

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 5: TCU had led in double digits for a lot of

67
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 5: the first half. In parts of the second half, Ohio

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 5: State makes a run, got over the hump, and then

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: TCU was like, you know what, that's why we got

70
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: that big lead, Kevin Bone, we could afford to play

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: with that a little bit and we're just going to

72
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: be a little bit better than you.

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: In the last three minutes of the game and they

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: win sixty six to sixty four.

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure what that final possession was from

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Jake Diebler in Ohio State there only getting into half court.

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a great game really to start

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: things off. And then obviously Wisconsin and High Point you

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: know later in the afternoon bat just first off, it

80
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable back and forth. I mean for those

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: that you know only maybe watched the final minute or so,

82
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: just what a game. And you know, Mark, I thought

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: about it from last year. Remember we had Alan Huss

84
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: the high Point coach on uh right before they played Purdue,

85
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: and now he is at Creighton. I think the thought

86
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: there is he's kind of the coach in waiting for

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Greg McDermott. So did you guys catch High Points coach? Postgame?

88
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: He looked like he looked like you should be on

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw coming up this week, Mark cutting promo

90
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: is on fools. He wanted to grab the mic there,

91
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: I felt like, and he dropped the mic of they

92
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: can't run from us in this tournament, something along those lines,

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, let's go.

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 7: I was like, right, did you see in the locker

95
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 7: room more to say. They told us to be a

96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 7: short fly or a short trip for them.

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, baby, well they said, hey,

98
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 5: we came here to go to the Sweet sixteen.

99
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: He don't forget he was gonna bite I don't know

100
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: who that was, was a Rosting, whoever was the sideline reporter.

101
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: He like, he's gonna bite his head off. So I

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: loved it, obviously. I think that was kind of the

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: story of the day, certainly Sienna. If they could have finished,

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: that would have been the story of the day. But

105
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: a jaban soone and done. Not good for my playerpool,

106
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: but he certainly had quite the game last night. I

107
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: thought Sean Miller's quote a halftime when asked, you know,

108
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: what are you gonna what can you do to stop him?

109
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: And he was very blunt saying we can't stop him, Like,

110
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: we aren't gonna be able to stop him. We have

111
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: to do other things to win. At nightcap kind of

112
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: a slow night. Really a lot of blowouts here, And honestly, guys,

113
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: the first game on Saturday, you want to talk about

114
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: a marquee game for us locally Josh Shirts via Dusty May,

115
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: I know John will hit on it a lot this afternoon.

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Those two are very close, and that will be your

117
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: first game Saturday. It's your twelve to fifteen tip and

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: old Josh shirts and Slew put up one hundred last

119
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: night on the SEC.

120
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 10: Yeah.

121
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 5: I see that Jason Benetti got called into action for

122
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: these games because Anderson has no voice.

123
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 3: Did you see that?

124
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 7: I didn't see that El get Georgia out of Division

125
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 7: one basketball. Wow, you lose tournament. I think you should

126
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 7: be demoted. You just get like a two year band

127
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 7: that was discussed was not good.

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Does Wisconsin lose to a twelve every year? Or am

129
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I just imagining things?

130
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 10: No?

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 9: Actually I have to go back and find it.

132
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 7: But one of these AP reporters that always puts out

133
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 7: like weird stats, he said, since they expanded the tournament,

134
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 7: they're the number one team to lose as the five

135
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 7: seed against twelve team a twelve seed.

136
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what was I thinking?

137
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 7: Hey, my brackets ruined. It was ruined pretty quickly at

138
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 7: YU my final four.

139
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 10: Yeah.

140
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: I made the James writing the BYU joke earlier in

141
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: the week, and I think it went about as well

142
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: as people that do probably attend BYU and try to

143
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: perform such an activity I.

144
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 7: Will say a most pacious fans are probably thinking, like, hey,

145
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 7: we saw weed to see from him, So potentially, if

146
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 7: those pink pong balls bounced the right way, could he

147
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 7: be wearing blue and gold here in a few months.

148
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: Other things that were just kind of fun to watch.

149
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 5: And I love all the stuff around March Madness. I

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 5: don't know if you saw any of the I saw

151
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 5: it this morning actually, but any of the post game

152
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 5: for Houston after they beat Idaho and everybody's favorite player

153
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 5: of Flemings. He gets with the press conference, he looks

154
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 5: at the NCAA guys and goes, hey, can I keep

155
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: the name plate? Calvin Samps is like, not yet. They're

156
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 5: not done with that yet. They'll need it for the

157
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: next game too. Yeah, rookie mistake, he said.

158
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 8: Wisconsin hasn't made it to the Sweet sixteen since twenty seventeen,

159
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 8: and since then they've lost to number twelve Oregon in

160
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 8: the first round in twenty nineteen, they lost to number

161

Speaker 5: So the James Madison the high point obviously, just from

165
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: size of program.

166
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 6: Hurts like you.

167
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Could you could be upset, but swallow a lost to

168
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: Oregon or Iowa State.

169
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: Right, well, the double digit seeds. Yeah, James and Mark's point,

170
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: you know that's pretty far for the course with Greg

171
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Garden Company. Shout out to VCU. The kid off the

172
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: bench was Terrence something or other. Just an explosion for

173
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: him there. I know North Carolina's without Caleb Wilson, but yeah,

174
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: that was a pretty fun game to watch last night.

175
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: So here we go.

176
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: Strap up Purdue fans their emotions this morning.

177
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 7: I think you're feeling pretty good, but you always have,

178
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 7: at least personally. I feel like you always have a

179
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 7: little bit of nervousness because it's one game, and one

180
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 7: game can decide everything.

181
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 9: So I'm excited for it.

182
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 7: They should feel confident given how they play to get

183
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 7: into the the LA Tournament coming off the Big ten

184
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 7: tournament win.

185
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 9: But boy, there's always a little bit of butterflies there.

186
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 10: Yeah.

187
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: I was watching CBS before the tournament started and they

188
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: did a segment on you know you see it in

189
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: golf sometimes too. Gary, who used to Andy North, used

190
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 5: to do this all time before, Like the Masters of

191
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 5: the US Open, Hey, you can't win the tournament if

192
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: this has happened to you. You can't win if you

193
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 5: don't have this average. You haven't done this, this, this

194
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: winning streak, this losing streak. Purdue is one of seven

195
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 5: teams left at the end of their little checkdown list

196
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 5: when they were eliminating teams one by one for how

197
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: you cannot win.

198
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 6: The NCAA Tournament championship.

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 3: So there you go.

200
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 5: Whatever that's worth, Kevin, you got that going for you, gotcha.

201
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 5: They checked a lot of boxes, teams that should be there.

202
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: The defensive metric, of course, probably the big, big question

203
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: of which team you know is showing up the team

204
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: we saw in the United Center, the team we saw

205
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: playing Mackie Frankly so often. So can't wait, you know,

206
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: for Perdue fans, this has been the thought now for

207
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: certainly the last year. But you can make the argument

208
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: maybe several years knowing the final four was an indie

209
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: here of just get to the get to march, get

210
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: to this part of the tournament here. So twenty five

211
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite tonight against Queen's there in

212
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, I say on that saw Buddy the Dog

213
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,360

Speaker 1: the head coach of Queen's, talked about that with us

215
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: earlier this week.

216
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, anytime you get the dogs involved, I'm like, ah,

217
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,000

220
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 5: back I think I writ in Doyle's piece it's a

221
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: backup because the original one guy Okay, December.

222
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: The buddy, the street dog. Yeah, how we said to it.

223
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's that's what Queens has going on tonight,

Speaker 7: lock the spare also in your car.

269
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,400

Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's where the BUCkies parking lot. Mark's got

272
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: a crow bar trying to get in the car. I

273
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: could live in BUCkies for a few days that I

274
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: would say if the if the keys.

275
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: Were locked there, you probably go hide in the men's room,

276
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: don't you when you guys go.

277
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: There, immaculate, immaculate restrooms in that.

278
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 9: It is an experience.

279
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 7: I will say that a quick question because I was

280
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 7: debating this with my my barber yesterday. Shout out to

281
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 7: miss Dottie or on the east side, get me right.

282
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 7: She was telling me that she was trying to explain

283
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 7: to me that running out of gas is not that dumb.

284
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Is that as.

285
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 9: Unacceptable as I think it is.

286
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 7: Yes, Because I was arguing with her about this, I'm like, no,

287
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 7: there's no world while we'llever like not be annoyed, there's

288
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 7: one around of gas. And I was with them, I'll

289
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 7: actually be mad at myself and not checking the gauge

290
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 7: and making sure you don't experience that.

291
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 9: That's it's just dumb to me.

292
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 7: This all stemmed by the way from and maybe this

293
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 7: is tm I, but I went on a date with

294
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 7: the girls, maybe like last year or year before, and

295
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 7: as I'm meeting up with her, her tesla died and

296
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 7: we spent like maybe three or four hours stranded because

297
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 7: unlike with gas cars, you can't just bring, you know,

298
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 7: a battery to the site had.

299
00:12:59,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 9: The way to get it.

300
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 7: Holding all this and I was telling her like, anybody

301
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 7: doesn't charge their car or does it get gas and

302
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 7: runs out of charge or gas is dumb.

303
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 3: So you were lecturing her in the middle of the day.

304
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mean it's like an episode of Matty

305
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Bowen's favorite TV show here.

306
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 7: I mean, I digress, But I was just thinking to myself.

307
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 7: Mark had me kind of amped up there like that

308
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 7: was ridiculous and she was trying to well, no, she

309
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 7: just didn't check the charge, and I'm like, what do

310
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 7: you mean it tells you that it's going to die.

311
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: She was so excited to see you, Jay, you seen

312
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: her sin.

313
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Not to have for details? Okay, maybe you just answered

314
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: it was there another date after that.

315
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 9: No, Nah, I didn't abandon her. We spent the day.

316
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 9: I do mean day.

317
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 7: It was a long effort to make sure she got

318
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 7: the car situated in charge. But yeah, I might have

319
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 7: I might not have had the same number after that.

320
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: Man, speaking speaking of dating, speaking of your significant others,

321
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: speaking of old comments here, Maddy Bowen had a hot

322
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: take as high point got it done yesterday. All right,

323
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: so she's watching, you know, Wisconsin bracket ruined, blah blah blah,

324
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: this and that. Her hot take was, I'd rather not

325
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: even make the tournament than be Wisconsin as a fan.

326
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Mark dyked in. You're kind of shrugging your shoulders in there,

327
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: hot take. Would you rather be Indiana fan or would

328
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: you rather be Wisconsin fan?

329
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I think you still want to make the tournament,

330
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 8: but if you're losing to a double digit seed, in

331
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 8: the first round.

332
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I can understand why you'd be.

333
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 8: Like, I don't even want to make it because now

334
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 8: you've got the you've got the upset alert on you.

335
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: People are giving you a crap.

336
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 8: Oh, you got the Badger's shirt on tough Game the

337
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 8: other day, so I could see where you're just like,

338
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 8: this is not gonna end till next fall.

339
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: And maybe the annual thing. Like with Wisconsin, this is

340
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: not the first time.

341
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 8: Right, That's happened multiple times in the last like ten years.

342
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: She eventually admitted that she didn't agree with her hot

343
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: take after about ah after that, after i' vetit her

344
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: for about fifteen min we got a stand on business.

345
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: I was like, mad, I mean, think about some of

346
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: the high points no pun intended that Wisconsin had during

347
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: the year, like winning and Mackie or you know, like

348
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: didn't Wisconsin beat Michigan as.

349
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: Well, Like they had a good little run for a

350
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: minute there.

351
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Right, you know, obviously Indiana not necessarily experiencing those. So

352
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: once I kind of poked and product she wouldn't survive

353
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: seven to ten am. I think she just got sick

354
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: of the conversation.

355
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 8: She guys wanted to say something on the side now

356
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 8: you've got me like breaking stuff down for fifteen minutes.

357
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: I asked this on behalf of all Hoosier fans out there, Kevin,

358
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 5: Just move on on behalf of all Hoosier fans out there, Kevin.

359
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 5: Does that apply to Fairleigh, Dickinson and Purdue a couple

360
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: of years ago?

361
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, you could probably make a comp Granted, I

362
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: think Purdue fans have enjoyed the run of the national

363
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: title game in several more moments of a Big Ten

364
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: Tournament championship and Big Ten regular season titles, And I

365
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: honestly I can't wait for tonight. In the next couple

366
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: of weeks, I just and Mark, maybe we can cue

367
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: up this Braiden Smith audio just to set this up.

368
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: This is before senior Day, so when they lost to Wisconsin.

369
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: And you know what I've appreciate about Braiden is he

370
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: has not ignored the elephant in the room. And it's

371
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: an unbelievable credit to his career that the book he's

372
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: written has everything. It's got the first team All American,

373
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: it's got the trip to the national championship, it's got

374
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: multiple Big Ten regular season titles, it has the multiple

375
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Big Ten Tourney titles. By seven what times tip seven

376
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: thirty five tonight, by seven thirty eight, he will be

377
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: the all time assist leader in college basketball. It's one

378
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: of the greatest careers we have seen at Purdue in

379
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, et cetera, et cetera. But yet he

380
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: knows what the final chapter could be. This is Bryton

381
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: Smith before the Wisconsin game a few weeks back.

382
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 11: Fairly or unfairly, do you feel like a bunch of

383
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 11: your legacy is still to be written in the next

384
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 11: month and a half.

385
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 6: I'd say, oh yeah, I mean, obviously you got to.

386
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 6: You gotta count for all four years.

387
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 12: And I think for me, like we saw a tournament

388
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 12: and offst our goals the national championship, and I think

389
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 12: if if we get it there, then they'll be very

390
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 12: excited and then everything will be achieved in my perspective

391
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 12: and view of things of what I've done here and

392
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 12: what this group has done here.

393
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 6: So I think for me, it's just really our cool

394
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 6: on our focus.

395
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 5: One of the things I love about everybody Purdue, Like

396
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 5: he works in what we've all done here, this group.

397
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: It really is how often are we going to see

398
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: a group at a school.

399
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: Like Purdue that goes four years together like that.

400
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't think we are to be honest with you,

401
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: not in this climate. And again, you know, the unheraldedness,

402
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: if you will, of you guys. Remember our conversation with

403
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: Shane Sumter, the Westfield head coach, right before the season started. Yeah,

404
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, when we had him on and he told

405
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: the story about ironically he did say Gonzaga is one

406
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: of the few teams that ended up calling after purdueing

407
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: and kind of made the early high major run there.

408
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: But you know, here he is the whatever, two hundredth

409
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: ranked recruit, whatever he was, and I'm fascinated to see

410
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: how he plays in this tournament. He didn't shoot it

411
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: great in the Big Ten tournament. You know, We've brought

412
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: it up throughout the week. Is the assist record at

413
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: all something that's on his mind, But you know, you

414
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: hear his comments. I mean, you obviously have got to

415
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: be thinking about that a ton, and just how he

416
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: handles all that. I think it'll be fascinating to watch

417
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: here over the next you know, for Purdue fan's sake,

418
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: hopefully two or three weeks.

419
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the things I liked in the Big

420
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 5: Ten tournament with Braydon Smith and really Trey Kaufman Wren

421
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 5: Man a couple of times when they just needed to

422
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 5: go to work, they just did that two man game,

423
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 5: and they were almost unstoppable in that two man game,

424
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: especially against Michigan.

425
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know a lot of talk has been about

426
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 7: Braiden Smith, and rightfully so, I thought Trey Kaufman wren

427
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 7: this last week or so was playing very well. And

428
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 7: you should feel confident if you're Purdue with the way

429
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 7: you ended your not regular season because the Bigson Tournament

430
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 7: was beyond that. But you know what I mean, like

431
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 7: the postseason before the real postseason and the NCAA tournament.

432
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 7: And I'm glad that he doesn't shy away from the

433
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 7: legacy talks and honestly, the standard that they've said, which

434
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 7: is crazy. It's funny because with Purdue, they've been so

435
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 7: good that we ask ourselves, well, why aren't they better?

436
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 7: And then with IU it's like, well, why aren't you

437
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 7: just relevant at all? And you know you're kind of

438
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 7: a victim of your own success. But again, there's no

439
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 7: reason to necessarily feel bad for yourself. Just go out

440
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 7: there and win because you've set a standard of winning

441
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 7: Now that I think that's so well said. I think

442
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 7: it's a great, great point to make.

443
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: And you know, when you look back at the Big

444
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: Ten Tournament, and we've touched on a lot this week

445
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: what they did defensively, James, you brought up Trey gauf

446
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: moanran I I'll point to Oscar Cluff and Fletcher Lawyer

447
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: and again two very different past what pathways obviously to

448
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: get here. But you know, Lawyer is so ridiculed, I

449
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: feel like by fans, and here he is, what best

450
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: three point shooter in program history, shot it great in

451
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Tournament in a week where you know,

452
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: really didn't shoot it that that well. And then I

453
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: thought Kloff was outstanding. And so you know, when you

454
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: think about obviously tonight with Queens, but like you know,

455
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: even Miami and Missouri, I've seen both those teams play.

456
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: They both have a good big guy lak Renew for

457
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes and Mark Mitchell there for the Tigers. And

458
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you advanced to the sweet sixteen and

459
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: it's Gonzaga, you you know saw them a couple of

460
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: years ago. Grahamy K somehow still in college basketball. You know, again,

461
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Kluff and Kaufman Ren. You know that duo. You know,

462
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: that's a kind of a unique angle that Purdue can play.

463
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Now at times it's hurt them defensively. So you know,

464
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: that continued matchup against teams that have yet to really

465
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: see that I think will be a big, big part

466
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: of it, certainly if they get all the way Arizona.

467
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: Arizona's got quite the front line as well.

468
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 10: Yeah.

469
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: And and Purdue again going in after wiping out the

470
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 5: Big Ten Conference tournament four straight wins there. They had

471
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 5: beaten Northwestern before losing at Wisconsin the final two games

472
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: of the regular season, so they've won five of their

473
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 5: last six. But man, did they look like a different

474
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 5: team in the conference tournament. James, And they had during

475
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: the last really last two weeks of February for sure,

476
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: for sure.

477
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 7: So I mean again, you have to feel good about

478
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 7: the way you are answering the tournament because prior to

479
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 7: that Big Ten Tournament run, I was thinking, is this

480
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 7: team gonna be won and done? I'm not thinking that anymore.

481
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 7: But Purdue was stumbling a lot, I thought in the

482
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 7: regular season.

483
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: All right, so they h seven thirty five tip tonight

484
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 5: against Queens. It'll be in Saint Louis and a lot

485
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 5: of folks making that trip. So travel safe and have

486
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 5: a good time and enjoy that and we'll see how

487
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 5: that all plays out.

488
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: But we had upsets last night.

489
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 5: Guys in the Big Ten didn't do all that well

490
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: in nearly part of the yesterday is Wisconsin and Ohio

491
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 5: State both got beat and did not look high point.

492
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 5: I get it, TCU, that could have gone either way,

493
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: but I had I actually had Wisconsin going to the

494
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen. I thought they were playing pretty decent basketball

495
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 5: right now that surprise you at all.

496
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also thought they could win a couple games

497
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: more the brand. I feel like an idiot because this

498
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: happens seemingly every year with the Badgers. But I thought

499
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: they were a different type of team. I thought with

500
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: Nick Boyd and John Blackwell and you know their ability

501
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: to stretch the floor. But boy, high point man, you

502
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: would talk about no fear and that coach. I mean,

503
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: I swear that dude, Mark Dykton. We got to get

504
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: him at I don't know what's our next big WWE event,

505
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: Oh then that one WrestleMania. Can we get him there?

506
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 10: Maybe?

507
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: Do you have that audio.

508
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: Marks the Psychotic Game? This was Flynn High Points coach Flynn.

509
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: I forget the last name Claimant or something. Yeah, this

510
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: was him post game and I love this your first

511
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: NC doublea tournament game coach Claimant.

512
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 4: It looks pretty obvious to me that high majorcy to

513
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: play mid majors are in the season because they said,

514
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 4: we haven't played nobody.

515
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: We played somebody, Now, how'd you do?

516
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 10: It?

517
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 9: Feels UnrealEd.

518
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 4: No good of a team we had, but nobody would

519
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: play us, just like they would have play Miami Ohio.

520
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: But they gotta play us in this tournament?

521
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 9: Coach early on, what change.

522
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: The man who believes his players gotta play us in

523
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: this tournament? I love that line like that right there

524
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: to me sums up why I freaking love this tournament.

525
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: Run from them, ain't no ducking You've got to play

526
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: us freaking high Point. What five thousand students in North Carolina,

527
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean pretty campus up there, unbelievable.

528
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 8: I love that he doesn't look like he's about to

529
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 8: rip his head off the he looks like he's just jacked.

530
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 7: I'm glad Mark chimed in there because the scene, for

531
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: those who didn't see the post game interview, he's getting

532
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 7: like mob by his players. They're throwing towels on his head,

533
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 7: they're shaking his shoulder, they're pushing them, and he's just

534
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 7: living in that moment, man, And I love that he

535
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 7: wasn't all coach speak and y'all they ran great offense.

536
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 7: Congrats to them, and we just wanted to handle our

537
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 7: business like no show some emotion. Man, It's an emotional game.

538
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: That was a lot of fun. You can run, but

539
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 5: you can't hide. Coming from from that lower seat, dig that.

540
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: I really enjoyed the game that I probably watched more

541
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: than any other game because I was flipping around like

542
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: everybody else, But I kind of settled in and watched

543
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 5: that Texas BYU game. That was a fun game to watch.

544
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I certainly watched it with one I

545
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: think about the Pacers.

546
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 9: So that leaves me to my question.

547
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 7: I was gonna ask you, guys, Kansas isn't playing anybody

548
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 7: of note tonight, but are you gonna be tuning in

549
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 7: for their first one match to see Darren Peterson.

550
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 8: Cal Baptist's baby, Right, Yeah, Darren Peterson, I need fifty

551
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 8: from them.

552
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: He might only have to if they if they do

553
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 3: it right, he might only have to play twenty minutes, and.

554
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: That's why I was asking.

555
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 9: It's late tip, but it's I mean, it's Friday. I guess,

556
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 9: so do you guys? Highlighter.

557
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 7: No, no, I'm sorry, I'm pulling off a bracket. I

558
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 7: have succumb to the ESPN I'm online tournament challenge.

559
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 9: Highlight.

Speaker 9: Brother, I'm online with everything, so I don't.

564
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: Know what a millennial thing that James Boyce ever said.

565
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Rickord, Come on now, I'm looking right out it

566
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: some my computer screen.

567
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 9: Here's the thing I ever tell you about Kevin Moore

568
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 9: my life.

569
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: We have the fan bracket challenge going.

570
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 5: Remember we had Katie Bucko who won the fantasy football

571
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 5: league that we all put together.

572
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: She killed us right in first place. Right now is

573
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 3: another Katie.

574
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 5: Katie Collins is tied with and I kid you not,

575
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 5: Gregory Maddox for the two best.

576
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: Scores so far through one day of play.

577
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: The picture just says Gregory Maddocks. Maybe that's how the

578
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 5: person differentiates himself.

579
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: Slow and steady, but a hall of Fame.

580
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 8: Pitcher in my mind throwing eighty two right, pint Corn

581
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 8: getting it done seven innings strong, Mark, who's got the

582
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 8: best bracket so far?

583
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 9: In the household? I know you're prying off a couple

584
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 9: for the daughters on the way out yesterday.

585
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 8: I believe Ashley's is a mess. She's already like, don't

586
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 8: even talk to me anymore about that. I think I'm

587
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 8: I'm holding strong. Here's ADDIE's tournament. ADDIE's bracket basically comes

588
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 8: down to can Northern Iowa pull off the upside because

589
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 8: she's got them winning the national championship?

590
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Rosie's got Furman winning at all?

591
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: Now, how did Rosie make her picks.

592
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 9: With not much thought?

593
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: I mean she just picked him as she.

594
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: Went picked him. I had the logos up on the screen, right,

595
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: and then I filled it out there.

596
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 9: She she actually wrote it.

597
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 8: Fact, the logos is the way the kids pick them.

598
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 8: If you do it that way, that's how they go.

599
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 8: Max was seating.

600
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Max was enthralled by some of these logo Like we're

601
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: seeing right here on the TV in the studio, Long Island,

602
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, say no more. You know, once you see

603
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: the sharks, it's like all right.

604
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: There as close to a dinosaurs you.

605
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: Get, right, Arizona see you later here. Now Arizona's the

606
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: analytical outlier. You were bringing up that earlier, Jeff, you

607
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: said Purdue was one of the seven teams that have

608
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: all the things. That Arizona would be the I forget

609
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: what it is. They they'd be like the least three

610
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: point shooting team ever since obviously the three point line

611
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: became a thing college asphalt. To ever win the title,

612
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: that's the big question for them. They make like five

613
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: threes a game.

614
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: You need Fletcher Lawyer to get get hot. Well, CJ. Arizona, Yeah,

615
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: I got.

616
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: You, no produce, Sorry, it's the three point line a lot.

617
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 6: Sorry, I was looking up one of those stats right.

618
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 5: Theres So yeah, now they they just keep coming at

619
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: you that they got some good players. Man, they got

620
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 5: some really good players there Houston last night beating Idaho

621
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: seventy eight forty seven. And I had mentioned at the

622
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 5: beginning of the show too. I always like watching some

623
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: of these press conference. Maybe I'm such a nerd because

624
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 5: I've gotten to so many of them. I like seeing

625
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 5: how the kids react and what they do. But Kingston

626
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 5: Flemings is he on your team. Yes, Kingston Flemings. He

627
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 5: wanted to take his little name plate with him as

628
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 5: a souvenir. After the press conference last night, Kelvin Samson

629
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: stopped and he said, no, no, no, you gotta wait,

630
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: not yet.

631
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: They still need that.

632
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 10: I like that.

633
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna be what top six pick, top seven pick?

634
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: Probably Sweeney gonna join us here, James in a little

635
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: bit here to talk college basketball.

636
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 10: Is that right?

637
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: Oh?

638
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 7: Yes, Sports illustrated college basketball reporter and has a lot

639
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 7: of thoughts on the NCLBA tournament.

640
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 9: So excited to talk to him.

641
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 10: Yeah.

642
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: You know Darius Acuff, who I know you've got. You know,

643
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: he had a big night. So you know, just because

644
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: the Bants is out doesn't mean the freshman kind of

645
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: leading some of these teams. Whether it's Arkansas. We'll see

646
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: about Darren Peterson tonight again, Kingston Flemings. If you haven't

647
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: watched Houston this year, but you know today I'm locked

648
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: in on a couple of things. Miami four to twenty five.

649
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I've got Akron in the sweet sixteen right here out

650
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: of the gate they play I think at twelve forty,

651
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: I want to say, and then of course, you know

652
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: from a local standpoint for doing Queen's twenty five and

653
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. That is true TV Tonight seven

654
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: thirty five. I think that game should tip pretty much

655
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: on time. I don't believe there's a game right before

656
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: that in the what do they call that Scott Trade

657
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Center or something like that over there? Yeah, when they

658
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: kills that venue used for now, I wouldn't know. Honestly,

659
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: this arch madness and yeah, Saint Louis Blues games. Oh yeah, yeah,

660
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: good call, Mark, I was totally spacing there.

661
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 3: You mentioned that your upset picked Troy got down at

662
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: the bras.

663
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 5: My mine was South Florida over Louisville and made it

664
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 5: close towards the end, But really Louisville is Gonnatrol most

665
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: of that game.

666
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: So Troy looked like they couldn't beat you know, Lebanon

667
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: High School.

668
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was quite not true loss.

669
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: Outside of the Perdue game. What's the game you guys

670
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: are looking forward to the most tonight? Oh, Miami, Ohio

671
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: for me, Mark, just them Travesyo, That's where I'm going.

672
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 9: I guess to be a little different. I actually am

673
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 9: very interested in this Kansas game. I need to see.

674
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 7: I want to see Darren Peterson on the biggest stage,

675
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 7: but against cal Baptist, does it show you? I don't care,

676
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 7: can you? Cause he had Like the thing is, he's

677
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 7: finished games as of late, but he hasn't played well.

678
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 7: So are you going to give us a performance that

679
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 7: is worthy of being the number one pick?

680
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 9: Like if he goes out there and they win or whatever, but.

681
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 7: He scores twelve points on three for ten shooting, are

682
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 7: you having the same feeling about him being a franchise player.

683
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't want to make too much of this.

684
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: I think Duke is the most vulnerable one seed. I

685
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: think you saw some of the reasons why yesterday, Frank.

686
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: I have Saint John's in the final four out of

687
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: that region. Kansas is the four to five matchup, James.

688
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: So if you start to project that bracket out a

689
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: little bit, you could get a Duke versus either Kansas

690
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: or Saint John's. They're in the sweet sixteen. Can you

691
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: imagine Darren Peterson getting hot leading Kansas to whatever Sweet

692
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: sixteen Elite eight something along those lines while Ajdabants is

693
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: home now. He played great, But do we get into

694
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: some of that debate? And again, Kevin Sweeny's going to

695
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: join us here in a little bit, you know, in

696
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: listening to you know him throughout the year, I think

697
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: he views it a little bit more as a debate

698
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: than I think a lot of people whatever care to admit.

699
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: So that is I think a fascinating storyline to keep

700
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: an eye on. But that's a late late one tonight.

701
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 7: All right, one more quick one, I'll say, Long Island, Arizona,

702
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 7: the Battle of Ice Teas.

703
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 9: I saw nobody that was actually from social media.

704
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: I can't tek somebody makes that yesterday and I laughed

705
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: so hard.

706
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: That's out, Stanty.

707
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 5: You might have to celebrate with that, well you and

708
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 5: I probably won't, but some mark you that could be

709
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 5: a celebration for you.

710
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 8: Be a cracking it open when I'm throught. We're going

711
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 8: through Nashville tonight.

712
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Games we'll be cracking it open as he goes on

713
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: his dating.

714
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: Hopefully Ashley's driving the time.

715
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 9: Hey us, I needed a long out of ic tea

716
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 9: after that.

717
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 5: All right, coming up in a moment, the great Greg

718
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 5: Rakestraw sets the stage for Semi State. Also Purdue getting

719
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 5: ready to play at seven thirty five tonight. We'll talk

720
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 5: about all of it with that man. Next it's ninety

721
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 5: three five and one O seven five.

722
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: The fans, oh there you go.

723
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: Woke up with the theme yesterday Mark Dyke and fell

724
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: asleep in the middle of a game last night.

725
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: It is tournament time.

726
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 5: Day one is in the books. We'll talk about that

727
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 5: throughout the day. But we've got a lot going on

728
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 5: semi state happening for high school basketball this weekend as well.

729
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: Purdue gets ready to make their debut in the twenty

730
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 5: twenty six NCAA Tournament tonight at seven thirty five. And

731
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 5: who better to tell us about all these things than

732
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: our good friend Greg Rakestraw, who I saw in the

733
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: building again yesterday and always pleasure to see him. He

734
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 5: joined us now in the Payless Lookers hotline. It's that

735
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 5: time of year, a big guy. It really means something.

736
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: Now from that, it does good to tuck you fellas

737
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: So before.

738
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: We get into semi state, what was your first thought

739
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 5: on how things broke out for the Big Ten and

740
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: other teams in the NCAA Tournament yesterday?

741
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: Well, I know the start wasn't the greatest of the

742
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: Big Ten, but Wisconsin got beat in a five to

743
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: twelve game, which somebody gets beat in a five to

744
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: twelve game. Every year, Ohio State got beat in an

745
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: eight to nine game, and we always say there's really

746
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: no advantage other than wearing the home you know jerseys

747
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: as the eight nine game. And clearly Ohio State didn't

748
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: suffer the worst loss for an eight seed yesterday that

749
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: was her third for Georgia against Josh Shirtz. Other than that,

750
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: things went largely according to form for the Big Ten.

751
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: So when you're gonna have and I've lost track eight

752
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: to nine whatever teams from the conference that made the tournament,

753
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: if everybody makes it the first round, hey great for you.

754
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: Odds are that's probably not going to happen. I remember

755
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State wasn't exactly a tournament team until the last

756
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: two or three weeks of the season. So you know,

757
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: to me, it's great to see the vcus and high

758
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: points of the world win. Uh And you know, being

759
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: a guy that was around that saying that Indiana State

760
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: run two years ago, so happy for Josh Shirts. It's

761
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: happy for Robbie Avola, and just to watch the the

762
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: pure joy and near perfection of that team running offense

763
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: reminded me how much fun it was to watch the

764
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: Sycamores two three years ago.

765
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: Rake, it sets up the JMV Bowl tomorrow, the first

766
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: game Josh Shirts versus Dusty May.

767
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 10: Uh.

768
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: He's got to have a mid you know, baseline ticket

769
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: for that, does he not?

770
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean certainly he would.

771
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: He would certainly be the powerbroker celebrity between those two.

772
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 10: Yeah.

773
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you know, some sort of I

774
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: know at Indio Sate a few weeks back, he did

775
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: something to start the game when you were there doing

776
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: play by play.

777
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: So that is that is the Sycamore signal. That would

778
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: be the train horn. So I'm not sure what what

779
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: what Saint Louis and and Michigan would have. Maybe maybe

780
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: John would come in second behind you know Dan Dierdorf,

781
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: who play at the University of Michigan and obviously a

782
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: legendary Saint Louis Cardinal. We'll get John there somewhere in

783
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 2: the pecking order at some point.

784
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: Of course, if I could, I'll stick with college, but

785
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: shift it locally. The opening of Butler. You know, when

786
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,959
Speaker 1: we talked last week, obviously the thought was that Model

787
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: would be back. Now he is not going to be back.

788
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: I'll just throw some names and you feel free to

789
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: play off of whatever you would like. You know, Ronald

790
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: Nored I think is a very popular one. I keep

791
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: on having people mentioned the name of Micah Shrewsbury, and

792
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: I guess a little bit of like, should he whatever

793
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: look at his time at Notre Dame and maybe get

794
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: out before it gets real, real bad. And I've thrown

795
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: out the name of PJ. Thompson. Anything you like, don't

796
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: like off that list, anything or any other name that

797
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: you would throw in there.

798
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 2: I would throw in both Travis Steel and John Gross.

799
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: I'd probably lean up a little bit more towards John Gross,

800
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: just because I do think there is something for having

801
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 2: coached at somebody else's biggest rival in Xavier and maybe

802
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: not knocking out of the park where you go all right,

803
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: maybe I've got more of an idea of what Travis

804
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: would be like in the Big East. And again John

805
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 2: was also a former assistant. John is tied into Chris Holtman.

806
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: John is obviously local, and the fact that Ackrons made

807
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: three consecutive NCAA tournaments, I'd throw his name out there

808
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: as well. Of the ones you mentioned, I'd have zero

809
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: problem with any of them. I love the PJ. Thompson idea.

810
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: I don't think Micah is going to pull the ripcord

811
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame yet, and again, they might pull it

812
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: for him after this year if things or not going well.

813
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: He's had a chance to coach both of his kids,

814
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 2: and I know that Micah has not overly been happy,

815
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: maybe with the investment made in men's basketball at Notre

816
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: Dame compared to other places in the ACC. I still

817
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: don't see you making a move. And this is not

818
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: a from Notre Dame to Butler, this is from the

819
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: ACC to the Big East. I just don't see that.

820
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: So I really don't think Mike it would be a

821
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: serious contender. It could be wrong about that. If Mike

822
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: is interested, then absolutely one thousand percent you have the conversation.

823
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't think the interest would be from his end yet.

824
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: I could be reading that wrong. But I love the

825
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: fact that Pj's brought up, because again I think he's

826
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: a young and emerging superstar and coaching Rake.

827
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 9: To pivot it.

828
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 7: Back to the current NCUBA tournament, Purdue facing Queens later tonight.

829
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 7: How should we feel about where Purdue is and how

830
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 7: they are playing going into the nc Double A Tournament,

831
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 7: Given how they I don't want to se a turn

832
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 7: around their season, but they certainly put it in a

833
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 7: different light.

834
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 9: With that run of the Big Ten Tournament, correct.

835
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: I think they reminded us of what was possible, and

836
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: they reminded us of almost what we said for most

837
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: of the regular season, which is, hey, don't sweat the

838
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: regular season. You know what this group can do. It's

839
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: about getting hot at the right time. We're about to

840
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: find out whether it was the right time or whether

841
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: it was one week early. Again, you know, this is

842
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: a Purdue team that is capable of getting to Indianapolis.

843
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: And I've always thought that was the goal for this year,

844
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: and maybe in February we saw a group that was

845
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: bored their credit they turned it back on for the

846
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: Big Ten Tournament, and that is great. That's a great

847
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: accomplishment for this group to win a Big Ten tournament

848
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: against a field as stacked as this year's Big Ten

849
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: Tournament was. That's a great feather in the cap for

850
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 2: Matt Painter. But legends are made later in March and

851
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: legends are made. We have a chance to play in

852
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: the final four in your backyard. And now that's what

853
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: you know that, that's what the bar is going to

854
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: be over the next two weekends for this basketball team.

855
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: We're looking like that right there. Man, there's some bars

856
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: he was dropping.

857
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: So easy to get you fight this tournament earlier Friday,

858
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: Let's talk a little bit more about Braden Smith in particularly,

859
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: is a guy that.

860
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 5: You watched develop a Westfield and then go to Purdue

861
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 5: and now he's a senior and early in the game

862
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 5: tonight he's going to become the all time leading assist

863
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 5: man in the history of the NCAA, looking to take

864
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 5: his team to a second Final four, maybe a championship game.

865
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: Who knows.

866
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 5: When you look at Braden Smith, having watched him since

867
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: he was fifteen sixteen years old, Greg, what goes through

868
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 5: your mind?

869
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 3: I remember.

870
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: The flex he had after he hit the shot against

871
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: was it Mara from Michigan. We literally have a moment

872
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: like that of him getting an and one his senior

873
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: year at Westfield when they were playing Cathedral and winning

874
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame Classic, And I saw that flex.

875
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, I've seen that before because I kind of

876
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: see it before. It's in our pre role for most

877
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 2: of our games we produce on c and so I'm like,

878
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 2: I see that before, Like every high school back. I'm like,

879
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: I just start doing play by play now because I

880
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: saw the flex. I remember just how much of a

881
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: gamer he was, how much of it can competitor he was,

882
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: and how he took no stuff or no lack of

883
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: effort from teammates. And so despite not having the biggest frame,

884
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: he had this amazing will. He basically led Westfield to

885
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 2: their first and only boys basketball sectional championship in school

886
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: history while playing on a broken foot, And so that

887
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: kind of tells you about the heart this dude has.

888
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: And so I think I think there was some concern

889
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: that simply from a frame and athleticism standpoint, the Big

890
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: Ten might have been too big of a stage for him.

891
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: It took about five games for Abody to go naw,

892
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: that same heart and competitive nature and skill even in

893
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: a smaller package is going to be just fine in

894
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: the Big Ten. So he has had one of the

895
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: all time careers in college basketball. I just hope the

896
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 2: last chapter has got a happy ending for Buddy Involved

897
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 2: and Greg.

898
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Regstral with to see here. Obviously, it's a big, big weekend.

899
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: From a semi stage standpoint, Rake the Saturday schedule are

900
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: you Newcastle bound? Is see Moore of the best semi

901
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: state walk us through what you like tomorrow.

902
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: So I am Newcastle bound, So my game's tomorrow. Mount

903
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: Vernon de Cator Central, followed by Taro North and New Albany.

904
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: Mount Vernon now goes from an interesting role of kind

905
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: of being an underdog against Pike to all of a sudden,

906
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: now you know, being a favorite. And four A is

907
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 2: very much an open bracket because Fishers is gone and

908
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: Pike is gone, and Playinfield is gone and Carmel is gone.

909
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: And these are teams that were talked about, you know,

910
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: for the duration of the regular season, and Lawrence North

911
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 2: got knocked off in the sectional. And you've got stories

912
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: like the Cater Central that are playing in a semi

913
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: state for the first time. In North Rich who's a

914
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: really good team and very well coached, that's going to

915
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: a semi state for a first time. You know, You've

916
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: got Crown Point that their stopping point has been Fishers,

917
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: but everybody just said, hey, this is their year. Well,

918
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: now that path is there, that opportunity is there, and

919
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: if we have Mount Vernnon Crown Point, it is a

920
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: rematch of the Hall of Fame Championship game, which was

921
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: outstanding and Crown Point won that game back on December

922
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: the twenty third. So Newcastle was my destination for a

923
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: fourth consecutive year. But frankly, you will have a great

924
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: time and a great value for your dollar if you

925
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: go to any of the eight semi state sites across

926
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 2: the state tomorrow, Rake I will be.

927
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 7: There in Newcastle, so I will come say what's up?

928
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 7: But real quick on Luke Ardle, I know he's next

929
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 7: in line to replace Braiden Smith, although replaces a big

930
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 7: word to use there right for a Greley Braiden Smith.

931
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 7: But how much hope do you think he gives to

932
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 7: the Purdue fan base when you see performances like the

933
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 7: ones he's had this year and particularly last weekend against

934
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 7: that loaded Pike team.

935
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: He's Braiden Smith, but six to two and left handed,

936
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: and Louke Curdle is top fifteen in three different categories

937
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: in the state in scoring, in assists, and in rebounds.

938
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 2: He's like a fraction of a rebound away from averaging

939
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: a double double. And he's the six to two point

940
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: guard on his basketball team playing a really good and

941
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 2: statewide for a schedule. He's not racking this up against

942
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 2: little sisters of the poor. So it is next to

943
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: impossible to think that somebody could come in and take

944
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: the baton from Braiden Smith and.

945
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 10: Run with it.

946
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: And in the next sense, I'm gonna tell you, I

947
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: think Luke Gerdle can take the baton from Braiden Smith

948
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: and run with it. That's how good Luke Gurdle is.

949
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: So if you're a Purdue fan, you should be grinning

950
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: from ear to ear right now.

951
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 3: All right, Greg rag Shraw, is gonna be a fun

952
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 3: weekend of basketball. This is what we do. This is

953
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: what we're all about. Enjoy all of your games.

954
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to seeing who emerges from each class

955
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 5: to get to the state championship.

956
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 3: And as you said, four A is just wide open,

957
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 3: all of a sudden open. We haven't seen that in

958
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: a while.

959
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: At a reminder, folks, you can watch the games. They're

960
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: all online ihsatv dot Org. Twelve bucks for one game,

961
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: Spend twenty and you get all twenty four and you

962
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 2: kind of can bop around from game to game. And

963
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 2: remember there's only one NCA tournament game during the morning

964
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: window of the IHSA semi state games. And Franklin, I'd

965
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 2: like to watch that between Saint Louis and Michigan. But

966
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 2: from ten until two you can watch sixteen games across

967
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: the state for twenty bucks. Ihsaatv dot org.

00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 3: my phone.

970
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 10: There you go.

971
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,200

984
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,560

00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: That's who you want to do.

Speaker 1: That's what That's what the spare is for.

987
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 9: Oh Lord, have mercy.

988
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: Our next guest is probably wondering what he's gotten himself into.

989
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 5: Butyr Evin Sweeney SI joining us here on the Fan

990
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 5: Morning show.

991
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: Good morning, Kevin, how are you doing good?

992
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 10: How are you guys?

993
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 3: So far, so good? You're probably glad you're on the

994
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 3: phone today and not in the studio, right.

995
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 10: You never know, Yeah, you know, it's it's it's good

996
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 10: to be it's going to be back. Obviously, get the

997
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 10: I'll eat in Tampa at the games today.

998
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 11: So it's a it's a hectic day, but nothing better

999
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 11: than a four game day at the end Subway tournament.

1000
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: There's nothing better than that at all.

1001
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 5: So thoughts from the first day from your perspective as

1002
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 5: a guy who really likes to look at players and

1003
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 5: how they project to the next level in the NBA,

1004
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 5: in the draft.

1005
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 3: What did we learn yesterday?

1006
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, I thought aj Debonsa

1007
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 11: played really well against Sis, just you know, the continued

1008
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 11: struggles of the team around him after all the injuries

1009
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 11: really did them in and you know, unfortunate we won't

1010
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 11: see him take a deeper run, but he's made quite

1011
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 11: the impression down the stretch. And then obviously Cam Boozer struggled.

1012
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 11: Sienna gave them all they could handle. I thought, you know,

1013
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 11: Siana did a good job and just kind of throwing

1014
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 11: bodies at him and making him deal with length at

1015
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 11: the rim. It was not his best game, but you know,

1016
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 11: as we've we've talked about with Cam like you're like, man,

1017
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 11: he didn't play so great, and you look up and

1018
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 11: he had twenty two points on eleven shots and thirteen

1019
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 11: rebounds and three assists. Like pretty god day at the office.

1020
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 11: That's what you get with the camp experience.

1021
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 7: Again, we're talking to Kevin Sweeney, who covers college basketball

1022
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 7: and the NBA Draft for Sports Illustrated. Also just recently

1023
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 7: was named by the US Basketball Right Association as the

1024
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 7: Men's Rising Star for his cover. So Kevin, congrats on that, brother.

1025
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 7: You know were greatness is in the building.

1026
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: That's a real award, not like James's.

1027
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: Right.

1028
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, hey, hey, hey, you know Kevin as an a

1029
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 7: fellow award win are these losers on the show?

1030
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 9: Don't know anything about that.

1031
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 7: But as far as your actual coverage goes, the big

1032
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 7: attention this in our neck of the woods is Purdue.

1033
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 7: I know you're not on site for them, but given

1034
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 7: how they ended the Big Ten Tournament, how has perhaps

1035
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 7: your perspective on their season and where they could go

1036
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 7: changed in the last week and a half or so.

1037
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought what they did in Chicago was just

1038
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 11: a huge confidence boost heading into the NCAA.

1039
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 10: Tournament.

1040
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 11: You know, I think they've obviously had their up and

1041
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 11: downs against the LEAE competition, and to see one go

1042
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 11: through the hoop for better or worse against Michigan and

1043
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 11: win against.

1044
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 10: An elite team I think was great for them.

1045
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 11: Braden was unbelievable coffin running cluff like really turned the

1046
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 11: corner last weekend, which was huge for them.

1047
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 10: So I saw my concerns against the.

1048
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 11: Best of the best and super athletics, super fast teams,

1049
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 11: how to handle some of some of that, especially defensively.

1050
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 11: But you know, again, for a group that I think

1051
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 11: a lot of February in early March kind of felt

1052
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 11: maybe stuck in Neutral, to really charge on and play

1053
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 11: as well as they did in Chicago was was had

1054
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 11: had to have been a massive confidence boost going into

1055
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 11: Queens today.

1056
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: Kevin, you are in Tampa. I've got the zips of

1057
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: Akron and the Sweet sixteen. Am I an idiot?

1058
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 13: I don't think you're an idiot.

1059
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 11: I think this is definitely a pod where we could

1060
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 11: have some chaos, whether that's Achron, whether it's Astra, whether

1061
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 11: it's both. Mean Akron has unbelievable guards and can really shoot,

1062
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 11: you know, with with top and out for Texas Tech.

1063
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 11: You sort of wonder like, all right, like does this

1064
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 11: just turn into a three point shooting contest and you know,

1065
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 11: made the best man win And if that's the case,

1066
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 11: Acron's got as get a chance as anybody.

1067
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 10: And then Ostra.

1068
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 13: I know there's a lot of attention on their.

1069
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 11: Guards, Cruz Davis and Preston Edmead, but you know, their

1070
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 11: size up front is really impactful. They're one of the

1071
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 11: five best defenses at the rim in college basketball.

1072
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 10: That's a huge leg up in a high major game.

1073
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 11: Usually you're worried about kind of getting overwhelmed around the

1074
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 11: rim by by high major Alabama small officers really big.

1075
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 11: So I'm curious to see how that dynamic shakes out.

1076
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 11: I think I think both those games could be super competitive.

1077
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 3: Were you surprised at all that Cianna pushed Duke to

1078
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 3: the very edge in that game?

1079
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1080
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 11: No, I mean obviously, you know SI's is really good,

1081
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 11: and Gavin Dotie in particular, their their star wing is

1082
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 11: like a dude that could play anywhere in the country

1083
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 11: and be.

1084
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 10: Like a fourth or fifth starter.

1085
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 11: Is energy, is toughness, But you know, the Duke has

1086
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 11: just been so bulletproof really for the last months or

1087
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 11: so and the way that they've defended, the way that

1088
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 11: they've you know, executed, like they've been putting away teams.

1089
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 11: And I know a lot of people give credit to

1090
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 11: Jerry macnamara. I'm certainly willing to as well. He did

1091
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 11: a great job. But like their game plan wasn't unique.

1092
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 11: A lot of teams have tried to kind of pack

1093
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 11: the pain on Duke, forced them to make shots, kind

1094
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 11: of make them uncomfortable, and I think the NAA tournament

1095
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 11: setting is just a little different, uh and made life

1096
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 11: difficult for for Duke offensively and uh, defensively. I mean,

1097
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 11: dude got crushed for the first twenty five.

1098
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,479
Speaker 10: Minutes of the game. Could you get to stop?

1099
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 11: And finally kind of was able to blow up and

1100
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 11: get some stops and key moments in the final ten

1101
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 11: to fifteen minutes, obviously helped by the fact that Cianna

1102
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 11: had literally five guys that they could play in that

1103
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 11: game and we're worn down.

1104
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 10: By the end.

1105
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 7: Again, we're talking to Kevin Sweeney covers college basketball and

1106
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 7: the NBA Draft for Sports Illustrator. I encourage you all

1107
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 7: check out his work throughout the NCLABA tournament and beyond

1108
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 7: Kevin in this neck of the woods, we are locked

1109
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 7: in on any of the top potential picks, and we

1110
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 7: lost Kayla Wilson to seizing an injury. Unfortunate not to

1111
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 7: see him in the NCAA tournament, Siage at the bands

1112
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 7: to go off last night. And then we have Darren Peterson,

1113
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 7: who still had one of the weirder seasons in recent

1114
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 7: memory for a top prospect. I know cal Baptist isn't

1115
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 7: exactly like, you know, the biggest university in the world

1116
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 7: or something like that, But how much do you think

1117
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 7: his performance tonight and perhaps beyond can determine where he

1118
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 7: gets slotted in the coming draft.

1119
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1120
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 13: Look, I think he has a chance to sort of

1121
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 13: rewrite the narrative on his season.

1122
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 11: Right.

1123
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 10: It's funny because I think at the time, you know,

1124
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 10: maybe a month.

1125
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 11: Ago, a lot of people would have said, well, like,

1126
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 11: you know, why, like Darren Darren should why is Darren

1127
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:12,760
Speaker 11: not playing?

1128
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 10: He shouldn't? Like why is he shutting it down? He's

1129
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 10: not competitive?

1130
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 11: And then he plays through the injury and he doesn't

1131
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 11: look as sharp, and now everybody's trying to say that

1132
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 11: aj should be the number one pick. Right, It's funny

1133
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 11: the way the narratives move and shake and like, especially

1134
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 11: now that Aj is done for the tournament. You know,

1135
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 11: Kayleb Wilson's done for the tournament. You know, Darren has

1136
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 11: the spotlight in a lot of regards and we'll have

1137
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 11: some monster matchups. Right, obviously have to beat cal Baptists today,

1138
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 11: but you know, potential second second round meeting with with

1139
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 11: Rick Patino, SWEETSIX team with Duke. You know, like there's

1140
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 11: some opportunities here for for Darren Peterson to make a

1141
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 11: huge statement on.

1142
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 10: A national stage. And uh, I'm excited to see how

1143
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 10: he looks.

1144
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 11: I think the week off after the conference tournament, well,

1145
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 11: we'll have done him well if he continues to kind

1146
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 11: of get his legs under him, if he works through

1147
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 11: these scramping and hamstring issues. But you know, he's obviously

1148
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 11: a special talent, and we've seen the scoring upside time

1149
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 11: and time again. Uh, he has a chance to take

1150
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 11: over the tournament if things go right for him.

1151
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 5: Kevin, if the Indiana Pacers were to win that lottery

1152
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 5: and have the number one overall pick, who of these

1153
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 5: terrific players at the top of the draft board fits

1154
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 5: best with what Rick likes to.

1155
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 13: Do, you know, I do think with the way that

1156
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 13: the like the way the Pacers want.

1157
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 10: To play fast and get up and down.

1158
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 11: With with Haliburton, like the idea of AJ Debonnce is

1159
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 11: really intriguing. It's funny like I've hunted around for player

1160
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 11: comps for AJ because he is sort of unique and

1161
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 11: people a lot of people use like a Jalen Brown,

1162
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 11: And the one that I came up with with somebody

1163
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 11: that I've kind of liked is like he has Jimmy

1164
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 11: Butler's game in Pascal Siakam's body right, and like you

1165
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 11: imagine like that archetype being amazing for for the way

1166
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,479
Speaker 11: that the Pacers played obviously with see Oakham, there's another

1167
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 11: bigger wing that can fly up and down the floor

1168
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 11: great in transition, can can touch the paint, and his

1169
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 11: life would get.

1170
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 10: A lot easier playing with a point guard like Tyreese.

1171
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 10: I think if you were.

1172
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 11: Scripting out what's great for AJ long term, playing with

1173
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 11: a high level point guard would be great.

1174
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 9: Kevin, thanks again for your time.

1175
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 7: I just want to mention this not really a question,

1176
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 7: but great job on the piece for Illanti Chicago, where

1177
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 7: you got a chance to basically shadow them I thought

1178
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 7: that was a very unique look at college basketball and

1179
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 7: something that we don't always get. So Man, I know

1180
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 7: it's a lot of time and effort, and I just

1181
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 7: wanted to say congrats for that, and that's probably why

1182
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 7: you're winning the awards and things like that.

1183
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 13: I'm just trying to get like you.

1184
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 10: Man. I appreciate you.

1185
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 13: I appreciate the kind.

1186
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 7: Words no, please be a little better than me, and

1187
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 7: that way have deal with these knuckleheads every morning. But

1188
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 7: thanks again, man, and we'll check in with you soon.

1189
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 10: Later, guys,
