1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Man, it is the absolute best, the absolute best the

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament. It's opening weekend, and most importantly, it is

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Fast Break Friday at Prime forty seven and it is

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: already packed in here.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: It is sold out.

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: It's an awesome event, all being put on by the

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: presenting sponsors, Tealing Whiskey and Gray Goose Vodka, and all

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: to benefit the Pacers Foundation, which makes perfect sense.

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: And let me explain why.

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: And the Pacers are in the news on this Fast

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: Break Friday of the NCAA Tournament, and I'll also let

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: you know why on that. But to begin with Brad Schaefer,

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: who operates here and owns Prime forty seven and it's

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: just a great guy. Met him last year for the

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: first time when we were here for this awesome event

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: where people come in, they get a table and they

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: get the you know, whether it be the lobster mac

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: and cheese or all of the different fabulous steake options

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: at Prime forty seven while they sit and enjoy the

20
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: games here and people already have hoard in. We've got

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Papa Shot taking place from bud Light. There's all kinds

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: of cool stuff going on, and Brad is this is

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: the place to be before Pacer games. I talked about

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: it last year. Prime forty seven is the place to

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: be in Indianapolis for really any event. Perfect location right

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: on Pennsylvania Street, but right across from Gambridge Fieldhouse, so

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: pre and post game the place to be. The Pacers

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: this year obviously have struggled. We know that, We've talked

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: about it, you know, consecutively now for months.

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: And it was this time last year.

31
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Really when things started to kind of come together for

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: them and talking to Brad, I remember then about how

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: excited he was for the Pacers. And I have seen

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: him at every single game this year. He and CEO,

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: who's one of the lead servers here at Prime forty seven.

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: I mean they are there decked out blue and gold,

37
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: supporting him game end, game out. And that has not

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: changed this year in any way, shape or form, which

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: is awesome. But Eddie Garrison when it comes to the

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: Pacers and keeping an eye on and I did see

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: one report earlier today. I don't agree with it per se,

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: but I saw one report that said that it is

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: now believed that if the Pacers have the number one pick,

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: that they would strongly consider cam Boozer in that now

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I will tell you that it is my belief that

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the Pacers brass sees de Bonsa and Peterson as the

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: clear top two and then Boozer right below it. But

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: that Boozer is more plug to play right now. I

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: think they see the ceiling of those other two as higher.

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: But if you were going to go with one of

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: those to put in and have to contribute right now,

52
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: it would likely be Cam Boozer that they find in

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: that category. But with that said, Eddie, if you happen

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: to have the breaking news sounder when it comes to

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: the Pacers, go ahead and hit it. This from our

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: friend Dustin do Pirak from the Indianapolis Star. Just within

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: the last hour or so, per league source, Pacer center

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: of Viza Zubats suffered a fractured rib and Wednesday's game

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: against Portland and due to the anticipated healing time, he

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: will miss the rest of the season. So the player

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: that the Pacers made the trade for in Zubots out

62
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: for the remainder of the season. That is key in

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: one area, and that one area would be We have

64
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: talked about how this year a big part of what

65
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: the Pacers want to do obviously is getting just kind

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: of that chemistry and that symmetry between their big man

67
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: and others around him. And that was the one thing

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: in the report that I saw. It said that it

69
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: was believed that Indiana felt that Cam Boozer would most

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: fit in with the trio of say, Siakam and Zubots.

71
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Now I'm not here to disagree with that, other than

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: to say that would surprise me because and I think

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Boozer is a wonderful player, and he certainly he and

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: his brother helped lead Duke yesterday in a tremendous matchup

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: against Sienna in the opening round of the tournament yesterday.

76
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: And Boozer is very skilled.

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: And I would not have any complaint if that's who

78
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: they go with, Don't get me wrong, But I do

79
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: think that whoever, if the Pacers end up with a

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: top four pick, whoever they get in that situation, I

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: think is going to be a player that they would

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: like to be able to put kind of more on

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: the wing as opposed to, you know, down low, because

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: Zubots is going to and we know this, We know

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: that Zubots is you know, he takes up space and

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Siakam down there is you know, obviously he kind of

87
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: floats around down on the block as well. So I

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: think rather you would get somebody that is going to

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: be able to h if you could play out on

90
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the wing.

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: Debonsa still now.

92
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: Eddie, yesterday did you watch BYU and did you watch

93
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Aj Debontsa?

94
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: Much of what he was able to do?

95
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: Is the sky blue today, Jake, you know what it is.

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: It's a lot more blue than it was two days ago.

97
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: How's that?

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: Does it feel like may outside a little bit?

99
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: Does it's the best?

100
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's the absolute best.

101
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: That is your answer right there.

102
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 5: If Aj Demonsa is on the screen, I am locked

103
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 5: in your thoughts. I thought he looked really good last night.

104
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: He was just unfortunate that he didn't have much help

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 5: last night for the Cougars. And got to give credit

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 5: to Texas. They are now the thirteenth team in the

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 5: last fifteen tournaments to win a playing game and then

108
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 5: go on to advance to the round of thirty two.

109
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they there were several games yesterday and get afternoon

110
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: to you.

111
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: By the way, my name is Jake Quarry. That is

112
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: the voice of Eddie Garrison.

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: It is Quiry Company here on ninety three to five

114
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the fan coming to you

115
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: from Prime forty seven at their fast Break Friday event.

116
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: When we look at.

117
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: The NCAA tournament from round number one, I would like

118
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: to thank the following Will Ashley, Bill, Jeff, Charles, Brandon,

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Dan Eddie not Eddie Garrison, by the way, although we

120
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: always think Eddie Garrison Moe from Ohio Kim Todd. I

121
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: didn't have written down who got BYU, I think because

122
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: I was still still stunned from the fact that you

123
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: played Missus Robinson's Jaece Robinson for the Cougars. So Jason,

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: I will add to the list here of thank yous, Wes,

125
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Pat and Casey. Thank all of you for playing the

126
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: numbers game. But you are now all officially eliminated. Now

127
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: that is not the case. That is not the case.

128
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: For there is one that would be Joe. Joe is

129
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: still in the running, still in the running for largest

130
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: margin of defeat in Pennsylvania because they were defeated by

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: thirty five. And I will eat Crowe put whatever topic

132
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: you'd like on it, and admit that I said that

133
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: penn was one that I thought could pull an upset,

134
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and very early on they looked okay, and then Illinois

135
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: really pulled away and made that a thirty five point game.

136
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: The other team that was And I thought what you

137
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: saw yesterday is one of the things about the NCAA

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Tournament that is so intriguing. And that's the fact if

139
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: you watched Saint Louis and Georgia, and there's always that

140
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: discussion and debate of which team would you rather have

141
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: the you know, the eight to twelfth place team out

142
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: of a big conference or a team that wins a

143
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: quote unquote mid major conference. And the A ten is

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: a I guess it's mid major. I mean, I think

145
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: of it as a pretty good league. But nonetheless, look

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday with Saint Louis that offense that Josh

147
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Shirtz runs and look Ovula was doing.

148
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: He really is like a Minioki.

149
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that because they're both guys that

150
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: are atypical in terms of their physical the physical specimen

151
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: of it for a basketball star, but their ability to

152
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: facilitate offensively with their vision and their entry passes and

153
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: things like that, and literally, you know Avula has and

154
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna laugh when I say this. All of you

155
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: are Robbie Avula, who of course played in Indiana State,

156
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: which is where he like really broke through with Josh

157
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: Shirtz before Shirts then took the Saint Louis job and

158
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Aviy that came over with him. And it was funny

159
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: last night to watch that game because the announcers, not

160
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: unlike the rest of us, when he first was hitting

161
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: the scene in Indiana State, they called his last name.

162
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: Like six different variations.

163
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: But he is not a guy in any way, shape

164
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: or form that you look at and you think that

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: he's gonna come out and just absolutely dice you apart.

166
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: But his vision.

167
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: And his ability to rotate the ball facilitate their offense,

168
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: move the ball, passing and et cetera is very and

169
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying at the professional level.

170
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 2: I'm not even saying that.

171
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: He is the skill set of this guy at the

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: college level in terms of totality of play, but his

173
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: vision and his ability to pass the ball does have.

174
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: Like a feel.

175
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Yokich is the first that comes to mind, But the other,

176
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, is Bird just because he

177
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: sees things and anticipates openings in their offense before they happen,

178
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: and that is such a key part for what Josh

179
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Shurtz's offense wants to do. But if you watch Saint

180
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Louis yesterday against Georgia, here's Georgia out of a big

181
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: time league that has really good players, that's had a

182
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: good year, and they went in and if you look

183
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: at Saint Louis and you say, wait a minute, Saint

184
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: Louis at one point only had one loss on the year,

185
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: and then they kind of backpedaled their way in to

186
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the tournament.

187
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: Now they were safely in the field. I mean they're

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: a nine seed, but.

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: They you know, their losses have all come in the

190
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: last for the most part, the last six weeks. Well,

191
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: it's because they run an offense that is so unique

192
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: and so fluid, and it moves so quickly and it

193
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: creates they really they almost run like a triangle offense.

194
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: It's not but their ability to always have three guys

195
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: on one side of the floor and do two different

196
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: entry passes and move people around it it is very

197
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: difficult to grasp. And if you are just having to

198
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: go in on a four day notice or a turnover notice,

199
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and when I say turnover, I mean having to play

200
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: them again in two days, it's really difficult to just

201
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: automatically get a hold of what it is that they're doing,

202
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: and that's why in the tournament they're dangerous. And that's

203
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: why Georgia, I think, you know, if you're going up

204
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic ten tournament, or you're going up against

205
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: somebody for the second time in the A ten, then

206
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: they are more familiar with what it is that you

207
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: want to do. But I thought last night Saint Louis

208
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: absolutely blowing Georgia out of the building was indicative of

209
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: why the NCAA tournament is so unpredictable because teams are

210
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: going up and playing against a style that is totally different.

211
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: And it's why when we had Tom Creane on and

212
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: I asked, Tom Crean, give me a team that plays

213
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: a style that is not replicated across the country and

214
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: so therefore teams that are unfamiliar with that are gonna struggle.

215
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: And he had said South Florida and South Florida absolutely

216
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: gave Louisville everything they wanted to and more in terms

217
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: of their pacing. But thought you saw it last night

218
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis and Georgia just Georgia basically late in

219
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: the game, once Josh Shurts called off the Dogs. Georgia

220
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: then cut a forty point game down to like a

221
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight point game, which keeps Joe in the running

222
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: for largest margin of victory with or defeat within the

223
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: tournament with Penn. Now, Eddie, your team that you if

224
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: we're both gonna eat Crow here, the one for you

225
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: that would be I guess you know You're reminder of

226
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: the unpredictability of the tournament is that of Wisconsin, right,

227
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean Wisconsin yesterday obviously on the short end.

228
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I also warned you going into selection Sunday

229
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 5: about high Point and specifically their three point sniper Chase Johnston,

230
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 5: and he got hot last night or yesterday for the Panthers,

231
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 5: and they were able to upset my Badgers. Once those

232
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: two got paired up on selection Sunday, I was heartbroken

233
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 5: because it's I was gonna take high Point no matter

234
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 5: who they were going up against. And then they got

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 5: paired up against Wisconsin, Like, well, I can't go against

236
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 5: Wisconsin because that's who I pinpointed as one of my underdogs.

237
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: And now Jake, it's interesting when.

238
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 5: You look at just the history of great Guard in

239
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 5: the NCAA tournament. I don't think he's minted to its

240
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen once despite having some really good teams with Wisconsin.

241
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 5: And to kind of go back to what you were

242
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 5: saying there about Saint Louis, I felt an advantage that

243
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 5: Wisconsin and Saint Louis but had is because they have

244
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 5: sinners that can spread the floor and passed the ball

245
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 5: pretty well. And in today's college basketball, those are cheat codes.

246
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: And so now on Saturday tomorrow you've got the jamb Bull,

247
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: You've got Dusty May and the Michigan Wolverines and Josh

248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: shirts and the Saint Louis Billickans just afternoon.

249
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

250
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: And that's again you feel for Saint Louis because, like

251
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: I said that, that style I think can catch people

252
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: off guard, except for that Michigan can replicate it, and

253
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Michigan can can. You know, they got obviously size galore

254
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: beyond just Avula like Saint Louis, and Saint Louis has

255
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: some size, don't get me wrong. I mean they're they're

256
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: they're forwards played really well yesterday as well. But the

257
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: other game that just you could tell from the get go,

258
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: and Texas A and M I haven't seen any of

259
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: Texas A and M this year. Now, I've watched Saint

260
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Mary's a fair amount because, as I've mentioned on numerous occasion,

261
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: you know obvious Randy Bennett, good dude and phenomenal.

262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: Coach at Saint Mary's.

263
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: I was really excited to watch Saint Mary's last night,

264
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: and you could tell within the first five minutes of

265
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: that game, like immediately in the first five minutes, You're like, man,

266
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: this could be a long night because Texas A and M.

267
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's first off just looked really, really a step

268
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: behind in terms of their low post play. But A

269
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: and M just had size and athleticism across the board

270
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: that completely interrupted anything Saint Mary's wanted to do. In

271
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's offense is largely based on moving it around

272
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: and then having several that can hit from the outside.

273
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: But A and M was just able to collapse on that.

274
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: A and M crashed the boards. But I thought overall

275
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: it was a good opening day of the tournament. I

276
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: don't know, Eddie, what would you say was the biggest

277
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: And I guess we could look at in terms of

278
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: seed lines. You could look at like what was the

279
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: biggest shaker. I mean some would say high point. I

280
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: think vcu'd defeating North Carolina, not necessar necessarily because of

281
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: any slight to VCU or even high expectation of North Carolina,

282
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: as much as just the fact that Carolina seemed in

283
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: control of that game and then VCU can roaring back.

284
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, they outscore North Carolina and the second half by eleven.

285
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 5: And the one takeaway I had from watching all those

286
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: games last night, Jake, and it's something that I raised

287
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: concerns about with Duke, and they were able to come

288
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 5: back against Sienna in the second half, outscoring by seventeen,

289
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 5: win by six. It was an issue with Michigan for

290
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 5: the most part of the second for the most part

291
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: of the game, and then they kind of pulled away

292
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 5: late because Howard just kind of ran out of steam

293
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: against the Wolverines. But guard play still wins in March,

294
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: and it matters a great deal with those teams that

295
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: had blowout wins yesterday. You can look at the guard

296
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 5: play that they got, not just from a scoring perspective,

297
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: but just the way they were able to impact the

298
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: game on the defensive side of the ball, getting out

299
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 5: in transition and setting up guys in their right spots.

300
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: I thought that was a huge story yesterday across the

301
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: tourny because you got great guard play in Nebraska Gonzaga,

302
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 5: they were able to come out with the win, and

303
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: their concern for me is going to be something to

304
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: monitor at least tonight with Saint John's because Gonzaga and

305
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: Saint John's they're kind of in the same grouping of

306
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 5: teams that are really talented. But if they're not knocking

307
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 5: down jump shots they are going to be it's gonna

308
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 5: be hard for them to score and win. And I

309
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 5: thought yesterday with the way Kenzaga can perform, it was

310
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: a win for Purdue because you kind of solve the

311
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: avenue kind of unfolding for the Boilet Makers if they

312
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 5: can take care of business in the round of sixty

313
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 5: four against Queens and then in the round of thirty

314
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: two against Miami or Missouri.

315
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's get to the action tonight for Purdue

316
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: the Boilers. And we've talked about this a little bit.

317
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: It is always difficult, as I just mentioned, in the

318
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: tournament to fully know what you're going up against, in

319
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: particular in the early rounds, because you have teams that

320
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: you just don't always know or understand.

321
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: You know, what you haven't watched them all year.

322
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: You've got a very short amount of time to turn

323
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: around and get ready to play them. And let's be real,

324
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: if you're Purdue, not only are you looking at and yes,

325
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: you have to respect queens and you have to be

326
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: aware of the fact that they have shooters, but you

327
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: also and this is why what you do is you

328
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: divvied up amongst your staff get you have to have

329
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: a game plan ready and a scouting report ready for

330
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: Miami in Missouri, knowing that if you win, that that's

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: who you boom are going to see immediately on the

332
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: other side. But the other thing that if you are Purdue,

333
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask for forgiveness and patience from

334
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: the Purdue fan base here because I'm going to bring

335
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: up the ghosts of Purdue past. I don't have to

336
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: sit here and go year by year with it. I

337
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: don't need to tell you about Little Rock and about

338
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 1: Fairleigh Dickinson and about Saint Peter's and the different games

339
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: where Purdue has been stunned even before that, I mean,

340
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: even going back to if you want to mention, you know,

341
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: Dwayne Sensus in Florida blowing them out, or Texas beating

342
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: them in the first round years ago in some of

343
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Gene Katie's better teams.

344
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: The bottom line being that all.

345
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: Programs have it, All programs have those ghosts of tournament passed,

346
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: but the NCAA tournament is one that at some point

347
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: a program becomes almost defined not by what they're doing there,

348
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: but what they have done before. Indiana still there are

349
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: still fans of Indiana that think that Indiana is an

350
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: elite blue blood tournament team because they've won five titles.

351
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: The last one was thirty nine years ago, and they've

352
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: won what one tournament game this decade, and that was

353
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: a playing game. So who you have been sometimes in

354
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: your mind tells you who you are. And for Purdue,

355
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: one of the things that I thought Matt Painter has

356
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: done an outstanding job with is not allowing those shocks

357
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: or surprises to define who Purdue is. And obviously, making

358
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a run to the national Championship game did exercise some

359
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: of those demons, but it doesn't mean that they're not

360
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: still lingering. And for this group with so many expectations,

361
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: so much promise, so much height, so much promise, and

362
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, all of it for Braden Smith and for

363
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: Fletcher lawyer and for Trey kuppin Ren and yes, as

364
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: young players, they had ultimate success. But you want to

365
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: be able to continue that success in your last run

366
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: and they clearly we're able to do that through the

367
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: Big Ten tournament, very clearly able to do that through

368
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament, and now are they able to

369
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: carry that into the NCAA Tournament.

370
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: I say all of that to simply say this.

371
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: The biggest part of this Purdue game with Queens, the

372
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: biggest part of it, and ninety percent of all people

373
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: tuning into it aren't even going to know what.

374
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: State Queens is.

375
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: In matter of fact, you can even tell them it's

376
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: a state with that's two words, and the first one

377
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: starts with the letter in and seventy five percent are

378
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: still going to say New York, but it's in North Carolina.

379
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: But for Purdue, the most important part of this game

380
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: is going to be probably the first sixty percent of it,

381
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: the first five minutes of the second half, because Purdue

382
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: wants to come out and set a tone immediately, because

383
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: when you are a number one seed, when you are

384
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: a preemptive favorite, when you were a team that at

385
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year started out as the number

386
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: one team in all of college basketball, and you were

387
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: thought to be almost a front runner for the final

388
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: four that's going to be in your own backyard. That

389
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: comes with it this pressure that for the most part,

390
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: players can overlook until all of a sudden they look

391
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: up and they.

392
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: Start to scoreboard watch.

393
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: And that's why you've got to come out basically in

394
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: these games and get out to that lead early and

395
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: just make no doubt about it. And I'm always curious

396
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: to see which teams it would be that come out

397
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: and immediately just throw down the know, you hit the

398
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: accelerator button and they're off and running, And then which

399
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: teams it would be that you could tell. And I

400
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: thought it said a lot about Duke yesterday, truthfully, because

401
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Sienna led twenty eight minutes of that game and Duke,

402
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, had to be sitting there. And Jerry McNamara,

403
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: who of course played in that game that like whatever

404
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: it was, multiple overtime game in the Big East Tournament

405
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: and played basically every minute of it when he was

406
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: at Syracuse. He's basically playing six guys for Sienna, so

407
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: you knew they were wearing down and running out of gas.

408
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: But for Duke, it had to be about the consistency

409
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: of staying with and just continuing to move through to

410
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: wear them down and not begin to wilt under. What

411
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: is that pressure that comes with being the preemptive, the

412
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: number one, the automatic, the no doubt about a team

413
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: that is supposed to win that game, and you look

414
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: up and you're like man, and you start playing against yourself.

415
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: And that's what I think Prdude needs to avoid tonight.

416
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't think they'll get they're gonna have

417
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: any issue. But you know, we shall see any any

418
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: other games from tonight or today's bracket on this Friday

419
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: opening day.

420
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: Kentucky is underway right now.

421
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: For example, anything that jumps out of you that is

422
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: one that is of real interest to.

423
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 5: You, this one that's on right now between Kentucky and

424
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: Santa Clara, just because the Wildclats have been the Wildcats

425
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 5: have been so volatile, and Santa Clara is in the

426
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 5: tournament as an at large bid out of the out

427
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: of the What conference are they in which you say

428
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 5: thank you West Coas I wanted to say Mountain West,

429
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 5: but I knew that was incorrect. But can the Zips

430
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 5: of Akron knock off Texas Tech Grant mccaslin's Raiders, that

431
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 5: very very well coached team.

432
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: That'll be one to.

433
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: Watch outside of that Hofstra in Alabama's a bit interesting

434
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 5: with Aiden Holloway suspended right now for the Crimson Tide

435
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 5: Miami of Ohio. Can they keep that red hot momentum

436
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 5: from that playing game on Thursday or not Thursday? Was

437
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 5: it Thursday, Jake or no Winday? Wednesday night? Wednesday against

438
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 5: the Volunteers in Tennessee UCLA. Does Mick Crunning complain after

439
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 5: the game against UCF about having to travel cross country again?

440
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right and a tradition like no other.

441
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: Right, That's exactly right.

442
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 5: Then the nightcap, I think at nine to forty five,

443
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 5: can Darren Peterson and the Kansas Jayhawks take care of

444
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 5: business against California Baptist.

445
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: I think Santa Clara Kentucky is a really good matchup

446
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: because Santa Clara, again that West Coast Conference, you know,

447
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's had a great year and got in is

448
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: an at large and obviously bout out early. Gonzaga kind

449
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: of struggled, So that makes you wonder, like, Okay, was

450
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: this like say a down year for that league? And

451
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: for Santa Clara and Saint Mary's because Gonzaga is leaving

452
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: the league next year, these are two teams that want

453
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: to continue. You know, they're kind of mainstays in the tournament.

454
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: Santa Clara with their big breakthrough when Steve Nash helped

455
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: them beat Arizona when he was you know, I believe

456
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: a freshman at that point, right, And so the reality

457
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: is that Santa Clara going into it has had that year,

458
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: But is it a down year for that league? And

459
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: for Santa Clara and Saint Mary's both are they looking

460
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: at this just simply as okay, we just want to

461
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: get more games on our belt because you know, moving forward,

462
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: the path has really cleared for those two to be

463
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: the top of the West Coast Conference.

464
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: All right.

465
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: Preduing action tonight, we had mentioned that high school basketball

466
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: is on to the semi state Kyle NEDRIPKNA joint is

467
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: coming up about an hour from now to talk about that.

468
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: From the Indianapolis Star Kevin Bowen on the program today,

469
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: it is a Franciscan health, feel good good for the

470
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: hard Friday. But when we come back, we are expected

471
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: to be joined by As a matter of fact, they

472
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: are just finishing up practice right now. And that is

473
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: Luke Rdle, who I think is probably gonna be mister basketball.

474
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: He will be a Boiler next year. And he is

475
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of the the if you will, one trick pony

476
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: for Mount Vernon. Now Mount Vernon's got When I say that,

477
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: let me back that up. Not one trick pony, multi

478
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: trick pony, is what I'm saying, because you look at

479
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: it and you say, okay, smaller player, point guard, floora general.

480
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Now he can do a little of everything. He's a reboundary,

481
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: he's a shooter, he's a scorer. He is the whole shebang,

482
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: and he is one would assume the era parent now

483
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: to Braden Smith at Purdue. But there is business to

484
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: be had before that, like trying to get ready for

485
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,960

Speaker 1: great high school performances over the course of the high

494
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: school tournament this year and getting people interested. Not that

495
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: people need to have motivation to be interested in high

496
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: school basketball, but great performances in this state are something

497
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: that we all can appreciate, and we certainly saw one

498
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,119

Speaker 1: you know, Luke, everybody tells you this when you're a

512
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: senior in high school. Everybody says, oh, just stop, and

513
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, really soak it in because it goes by

514
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: so quickly, but it really is a special time of year.

515
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: And for you guys, you just got wrapped up with practice.

516
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: Now are you on spring break right now or do

517
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: they basically just say, you know what, you're in semi state,

518
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: so just take the day up and go practice now.

519
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 7: So we're yes at malvernon We get two weeks off

520
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 7: for spring break, so that started this week and we

521
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 7: play at ten am on Saturday. So it's been kind

522
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 7: of nice because we can just practice right at ten

523
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 7: am every day.

524
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 6: To kind of get ready.

525
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 7: So so yeah, that kind of it's pretty nice because

526
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 7: you never play at ten am. It's kind of like

527
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 7: one of the biggest games of the year.

528
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 6: You just got to wake up and go at it.

529
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 6: So yeah, we're just trying to get ready for that.

530
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: So hey, what was it about? You know?

531
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: And I know that whenever you see a team for

532
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: the second time, maybe you learn a little something. Maybe

533
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: something goes through your mind from the first matchup that

534
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: they exploited about you and you think, you know what,

535
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe I can make an adjustment here or there. What

536
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: was the difference for you? What what allowed you with

537
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: that sort of a superlative performance against a fine team

538
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: in Pike. Yeah.

539
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 7: I mean, first of all, Pike just has way more

540
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 7: size than us.

541
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 6: I mean they got six seven six seven, six eleven,

542
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 6: so I mean it was hard for us to match

543
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 6: up with that.

544
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 7: We knew we had to say something away, obviously, so

545
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 7: we just tried to pack the paint. We tried to

546
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 7: play back line defense and give up some some open

547
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 7: looks from three, and just try to try to take

548
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 7: away their jobs because they're obviously, you know, a great

549
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: team of super athletic so they can get to the

550
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 7: rim whenever.

551
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 6: So that's when we try to take away.

552
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 7: And then fortunate enough, you know, miss some shots and

553
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 7: we were able to get some type of stops and

554
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 7: stay in the game.

555
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: So you have so much, Luke, that is right there

556
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: at your fingertips.

557
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: And I think you know this.

558
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're you're getting All American type

559
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: accolades as a high school player, you're a top fifty recruit,

560
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: You're you know, Purdue is right now one of the

561
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: pre eminent programs in college basketball, and mister basketball may

562
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: well be within your grasp as well. But is it

563
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: difficult to focus on the now and not get caught

564
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: up in the next.

565
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

566
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, I don't think so, because just this

567
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 7: time is so is so fun, Like these tournament runs

568
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 7: with your friends you've been kind of growing up with

569
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 7: your whole life is honestly just one of the best

570
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 7: things that you can ever do. But I think it's

571
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 7: kind of surreal, like how your dreams start to come through,

572
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 7: as you know, being like, you know, nationally recognized and

573
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 7: going to Purdue.

574
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 6: But like I was just like three years.

575
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 7: Ago, no one really knew who I was or two

576
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 7: years ago, and I was just another kid, like you know,

577
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 7: trying to.

578
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 6: Play basketball and work as hard as I can. So

579
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 6: kind of.

580
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 7: Crazy how everything comes at you kind of fast, But

581
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 7: it's just kind of a product of you're just working

582
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 7: hard every day and then good things are gonna come

583
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 7: is if you just keep your head down.

584
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, is it hard to still be that same kid?

585
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 6: I would say it's kind of crazy.

586
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 7: Like how once you start having people taking pictures with you,

587
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 7: you know, you you start having to sign little kids

588
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 7: stuff all the time, and you're like, wow, like these

589
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 7: these kids want my autograph, they want my picture, and

590
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 7: you go around school and people are you know, starting

591
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 7: to treat you maybe a little different because you're good

592
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 7: at basketball or whatever. But uh, that's when you got

593
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 7: to have kind of people in your life that keep

594
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 7: you grounded like I do.

595
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 6: And but yeah, it is.

596
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 7: It is kind of crazy when people start to treat

597
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 7: you a little different once you kind of have some success.

598
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 6: But you got to handle it the right way. So

599
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 6: I'm trying too.

600
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: Luke Grdle is my guest.

601
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: He is, of course, the leader of the twenty five

602
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: and three Mount Vernon Marauders, who are on their way

603
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: to the Semi State to take on Eddie Garrison's Decatur

604
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Central Hawks this Saturday at ten in the morning, Luke,

605
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: when you when you talk about Mount Vernon, and this

606
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: is what's so refreshing to me. I think basketball today

607
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: and recruits in general. You know, so much of it

608
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: now has gone into and I understand it. The AAU circuits,

609
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: the summer circuits, the camps, all of those things. And

610
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of players that when

611
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: they think of who they play for, they think of

612
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: those travel teams now before they think of their high school.

613
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: You seem to think differently with that. What does it

614
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: mean for you to be able to represent your high school?

615
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: And your community.

616
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's it's a blasts, it's awesome.

617
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 7: I think there's a good relationship between like you need

618
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 7: to play you obviously, and I played put Any Elite

619
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 7: my whole life, and that was a great, great opportunity

620
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 7: to play against the best players in the nation on

621
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 7: that circuit, you know, and and get that experience. But

622
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 7: then come to high school, you're you're representing your community

623
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 7: and and that's just been awesome. Like playing over the years,

624
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 7: I played Julish, Gidsey new Pal, We've played Braylen All

625
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 7: growing up, Breydn Mollis, So you know, kind of those

626
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 7: crosstown rivalries and playing great competition and and and having

627
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 7: having those like friendship battles.

628
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 6: It's kind of the best part of high school sports

629
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 6: to me.

630
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: So what sold you on Purdue?

631
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: What?

632
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: What's what is the main reason that Luke Earle has said,

633
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: you know what boiler up.

634
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 8: Man?

635
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 7: Well, honestly, you know, seeing Braden Smith and Fletcher Lawyer,

636
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 7: Like as soon as they went to Purdue, I really

637
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 7: just started following the program like crazy.

638
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 6: I'd watch every yay uh, just because I.

639
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 7: Looked up to those guys and and seeing their success,

640
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 7: seeing how coach Paynter has has believed in those guys,

641
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 7: and it just kind of makes me want to go

642
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 7: there and see if I.

643
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 6: Can play at that level and.

644
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 7: Kind of you know, try to follow them and and

645
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 7: you know, write rivoling story a little bit, but also

646
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 7: just staying home. I feel like Purdue is the best

647
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 7: program in Indiana right now, and that's kind of where

648
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 7: I want to be at. So so that's where you know,

649
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 7: I thought I should go because they also believed in me.

650
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 7: They were one of the first time majors to offer me,

651
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 7: So Coach Painter kind of took a chance on me

652
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 7: and it was awesome and can't I'm looking forward to it.

653
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: So obviously, Elliott Bloom, I would assume that you've had

654
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: a relationship with Elliott Bloom as well right at Purdue

655
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: who works or Matt Painter and you know, native to

656
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: your area. But the reality is this, you know, Braidon

657
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: Smith is two assists away now from becoming the most

658
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: prolific distributor in the history of college basketball, and you know,

659
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of all American accolades. And then people look

660
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: at it and when they say, man, what's Purdue gonna

661
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: look like? Without braidon Smith. They say, well, that's okay,

662
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: Luke Urdle's in there and people see a little bit

663
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: of his game in you do you find that as

664
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: something that is inspiring or is it rather daunting to

665
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: know of those shoes that there's that expectation.

666
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 7: Well yeah, well, I mean you could look at that

667
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 7: at it that way, and obviously Brady Smith might be

668
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 7: the best, well the best point guards ever to play

669
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 7: in college, right, So, so I mean having those type

670
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 7: of expectations coming for me coming in, I mean that's

671
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 7: that might not you know, like I'm just I'm just

672
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 7: my own self and I'm gonna come in and I'm gonna,

673
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 7: you know, hopefully try to get on the court and

674
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 7: hopefully try to play as a freshman and and just

675
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 7: do whatever coach tells me. But uh, I think we're

676
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 7: very different, and in the fact, I try to learn

677
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 7: a lot of things from him. But it's kind of

678
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 7: unfair to put those type of expectations on me. But

679
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 7: I think it's it's a compliment to even being in a.

680
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 6: Conversation with with him.

681
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean I'm excited to get there and

682
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 7: and and to get into work, but I'm looking forward

683
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 7: to watching them play and see how he ends his career.

684
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: So still business at hand, I realized, Luke Ardle my guest,

685
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: and before we let you go, Luke, I wanted to

686
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: ask you a couple of things, just about about you

687
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: and about what's gotten you here.

688
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

689
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: I think we often look at a player and we say,

690
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's a teammate or a coach that

691
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: inspired you, or you know, whatever that may be. And

692
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: then sometimes when you talk to players you find out

693
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: there's like a even a deeper motivation. Is there a

694
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: particular individual or a particular event that took place in

695
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: your younger years that really inspired you to this point.

696
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: Is there somebody that you play for or some thing,

697
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: some vision that is your motivation each time you step

698
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: on the floor.

699
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 7: Well, I think I think the main thing is having

700
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 7: my older brother, Mike Hurtle, who now plays overseas and

701
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 7: played had a great college career. Just growing up watching

702
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 7: his games, I'm kind of seeing that it's possible to

703
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 7: play at a high level in basketball. Like I mean,

704
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 7: me and him are both six to two. When I'm

705
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 7: at the most.

706
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 6: Athletic, when I got to jump out the gym or anything.

707
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 6: So seeing him play at those very high levels and

708
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 6: seeing him go through it and how much love you after

709
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 6: the game.

710
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 7: I just kind of naturally gravitated towards basketball and realize

711
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 7: how much work you have to put in every day.

712
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 6: To reach a high level. So, yeah, that's kind of

713
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 6: my inspiration.

714
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 7: And then you know, that's kind of who got me

715
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 7: into basketball, and having.

716
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 6: A person like him to show me the ropes is awesome.

717
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: And when you look at it and your team and

718
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: so much of that. I mean, when you put up

719
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: thirty four and eleven and against a team like Pike

720
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: in an epic matchup right in a great field house,

721
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: and all the history that goes with that, and now

722
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: what could still be there for you? The reality is

723
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: it is still a team game. Can you tell me

724
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: a player or a teammate or two that you have

725
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: that may be in practic on the bus in the

726
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: locker room, you look at that guy and you say,

727
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: I wish everybody saw how committed that kid was, because

728
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: I might get the headlines, but that kid puts in

729
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: just as much. Give me a couple names.

730
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean, first of all, Maxwell Vice is honestly,

731
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 7: I think one of the best players in the state.

732
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 6: He's six eight, he's he's so altered.

733
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 7: Gifted, and he can do everything on the floor. I

734
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 7: think that he showed that on Saturday versus Pike. I mean,

735
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 7: he outplayed some of their guys and he's gonna get.

736
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 6: A lot of Division one looks, I'm sure.

737
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 7: And then one of the JV guys that just bust

738
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 7: his blood every day.

739
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: His name is Jayden Centers. He is always putting in work.

740
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 7: He's he's always trying as hard as he can and

741
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 7: making us better. And people overlook those JV guys and

742
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 7: those guys who are just working hard every day, getting

743
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 7: no type of looks when the games come, but they

744
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 7: get us prepared.

745
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 6: So man, he's another guy that just gives it as all. So, yeah,

746
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 6: those are two guys that really stand out to me.

747
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: Your brother's career took them to Louisiana and then Alabama Birmingham,

748
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: and you will be much closer to home with the

749
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: Purdue Boilermakers, but still work to be had.

750
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 3: Uh.

751
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: So basically, you get ready tonight and you stay up

752
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: watching your Boilers, and then you get up tomorrow and

753
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: you play Decatur Central.

754
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 7: Right, Yes, sir, I'm not even sure what's on this

755
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 7: Purdue player.

756
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: I believe it's Eddy Is at seven thirty or eight

757
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: thirty tonight. I believe it's a seventh the first of

758
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: the right five tip against.

759
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 6: That's plenty early for me. So I'll watch that gaming

760
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 6: and you're right today.

761
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, hey, we wish you the best of luck.

762
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: I am most appreciative of your time today. We wish

763
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: you the best of luck and congratulations again on getting

764
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: to this point and all the success that will come

765
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: your way as well.

766
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, thank you guys for having me. Appreciate it.

767
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 2: Appreciate it again.

768
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: Luke Urdle, the future Purdue Boilermaker and current Mountain Mount

769
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Vernon Marauder, what.

770
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 2: A really good guys.

771
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, when I reached out to

772
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: his coach to have him on, he was like, man,

773
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: I'd love to have him on because he's just a

774
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: great young man. And I think you can hear it

775
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: right there, no question about that. Speaking of the high

776
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: school semi states, we will have Kyle Nedrip joining us

777
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: on the program coming up about forty five minutes from now,

778
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 1: and we'll get kind of a better glimpse, if you will,

779
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: at some of the games around the area. But again

780
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: Prime forty seven is the location. That's where we are.

781
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: It is Fast Break Friday. It is awesome. People enjoying

782
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: the Papa shot. They have a silent auction, items going on.

783
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: Brad as always as playing host to everybody running around.

784
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Brad Schaeffer from Prime forty seven coming

785
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: up in a bit as well. But when we come back,

786
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: if you did not hear it, there is news today

787
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: involving the Pacers. We'll let you know the latest on

788
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: that in what it means other side quering company here

789
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: on the fan action picking up here at Fast Break

790
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: Friday at Prime forty seven, brought to you by Tealing

791
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: Whiskey and Gray Goose. Prime forty seven right across from

792
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: Gambridge Field House, so the epicenter for basketball activity as

793
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: it is.

794
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: But now the mini hoops is picking up.

795
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: The silent auction is I guess it's silent, but everybody's talking,

796
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: having fun because the games are on Kentucky and Santa

797
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: Clara right now is the big one that's underway. We

798
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: will preview Perdue with Brian Nubert coming up top of

799
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: the hour. But let's get back to the Pacers. News

800
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: of the day. There are two things with the Pacers

801
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: that made headlines. The first, if you're just joining the program,

802
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: Avita Zubats, thank you. Eddie is out for the year

803
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: because it is believed that he fractured a rib on

804
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: Wednesday against Portland. Probably the reality would be that if

805
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: this were, for example, heading down the home stretch of

806
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: a season with playoff implication and expectation, then I don't

807
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: know that that's the kind of injury that keeps you

808
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the year. I'm not a doctor,

809
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: so I can't say that for certain, but I would

810
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: think that it's probably one that requires just some R

811
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: and R and then your back. But there is little

812
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: to be gained by playing Zubots at this point because

813
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: of twofold number one, the fact that I think everyone

814
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: knows by now for Indiana it is a concerted effort

815
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: to stay within that top four in terms of the

816
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: draft picks, and yes, that means that they have to

817
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: be amongst the low six for the odds to not

818
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: be impacted. And if you are unaware, the reason for

819
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: all of that conjecture is because of the fact that Indiana,

820
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: in the trade to acquire Zubots included their pick for

821
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: this year. If it is not in the top four,

822
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: or if it's between picks four or excuse me, five

823
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: and ten, they have to send it to the Clippers.

824
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 2: That's the easiest way to say it.

825
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: So they have to be in that top four when

826
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: the ping punk balls, even though I know it's not

827
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: ping punk balls anymore, but when they produce where your

828
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: pick is, Indiana's got their fingers crossed that it's going

829
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: to be a top four pick. Not having Zubots on

830
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: the floor would be signific at this point, only because

831
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: of the fact that you want to get him acclimated.

832
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: You want to know exactly what and who he is

833
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: within this offense that Rick Carlisle wants to run. How

834
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: it might be different, what his roles are. However, so

835
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: much of what you're going to expect out of Zubots

836
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: and what out of Zubots is dependent upon the availability

837
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: of and the partnership and the timing with Tyre's Halliburt.

838
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: And if Halliburton's not on the floor right now, And

839
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: in addition to that, you're not getting regular everyday minutes

840
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: from nim Hard. You're not getting regular everyday minutes from

841
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: say TJ.

842
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: McConnell.

843
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: There are so many aspects of this roster that are

844
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: not on the floor that having Zubots out there, yes,

845
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: schematically he might get more used to what it is

846
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: that Indiana does. But in terms of just getting that

847
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: overall timing and feel of teammates and et cetera, they're

848
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: not out there anyway. So in that regard it softens

849
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: this blow a little bit. The other report for the

850
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: Pacers that's out there, and I don't mean it to

851
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: discredit anybody who has this out there, but I believe

852
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: it was Jake Fisher that reported that there is increased

853
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing here, there's increased speculation that the Pacers,

854
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: even if they have the first pick in the draft,

855
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: would take cam Boozer out of Duke over Debonsa or

856
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: Peterson of Kansas. I'm not saying that they would not

857
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: have an interest in Camboozer, Don't get me wrong. I'm

858
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: telling you that it's my belief, not fact, but my belief.

859
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting in that war room right but in

860
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: talking to people that are pretty darn close to it,

861
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: that the Pacers see this year's draft as a very

862
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: clear top two candidates be demons and Peterson, and that

863
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: Boozer would be the very top of the group that

864
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: is right below that as the third best player, and

865
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: I think the pacers see Boozer as the one. As

866
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I'll tell you how I would handicap

867
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: it or break it down in terms of how the

868
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: pacers see it. Debonsa and Peterson as the clear one two,

869
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's in that order, but

870
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: those are the two clear best in their eyes as

871
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: I understand it. Boozer and then Caleb Wilson would be

872
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: right behind them. Boozer is the one of the four

873
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: that I think they feel is the most immediately ready

874
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: to play and could most immediately translate in terms of,

875
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, you have the most comfortable feeling as to

876
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: what you're getting out of the womb. But probably the

877
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: most upside exists perhaps within Demonsa. Peterson is the best

878
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: natural scorer, and Wilson has the potential to be the

879
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: most dominant force of the mall a Sean Kemp type player.

880
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: But I think they feel that Boozer is a very

881
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: very safe pick for right now, but that Debonsa and

882
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: Peterson have a much higher ceiling and play positions and

883
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: spots on the floor that are more advantageous to what

884
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: it is that Indiana needs. And so I still think,

885
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: I still think that personally it would be debonsa if

886
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: they had the number one overall pick. But that's all

887
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: conjecture and it's all based upon stuff that we have

888
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: no idea where that is going to slot just yet.

889
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 1: What we do know is Peru is in action. Tonight

890
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: tournament gets underway for them. Brian Nubert, Golden Black gonna

00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: involved as well, and always a thrill for them to

905
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: have us out. This has become a tradition, I guess,

906
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 1: so to speak on the Friday of the nc AA tournament,

907
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: so to a tradition the prenue boiler Makers being in

00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: the tournament. Joining us now on the Java House Colbrew

Speaker 1: Coffee guest line. A reminder if you were going to

00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: be going into a Java House location, download the app

Speaker 1: or your food. Use to code Jake twenty five and

913

914
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get twenty five percent off. But Brian Nubert

915
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: from Golden Black kind enough to join us now on

916
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: what's going to be a very busy day, obviously, Brian,

917
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: I'll begin with this.

918
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 2: For Queens, we've talked about it.

919
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: They have at least one player that loves to shoot

920
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: the three, and that's been a biggaboo for Purdue in

921
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: terms of guarding the three. But in talking to and

922
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: listening in on Matt Painters press conferences and conversation, what

923
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: are the areas, what's kind of the scouting report on

924
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: what Purdue is going to see tonight in this opponent.

925
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, anytime you get an undersized opponent defensively, I

926
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 8: think people's ability to drive the basketball on a bigger

927
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 8: lineup and shoot threes. I think that can spread Purdue out.

928
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 8: That's been a little bit of a sore spot. Whether

929
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 8: Queen's is good enough to do that, you know, I

930
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 8: think they can score some points on Purdue based on

931
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 8: their profile, but when you look at their metrics and

932
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 8: their their size, and just that their personal personnel dynamics,

933
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 8: I think that they're going to have a really hard

934
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 8: time stopping Purdue and they're going to have a really

935
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 8: hard time rebounding with Purdue. The way Purdue played in Chicago.

936
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 8: If they can carry over that defensive attended attentiveness, that energy,

937
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 8: and that physicality of Ron, Queen's is going to have

938
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 8: their hands full tonight for sure.

939
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it, Brian? What was it?

940
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: You know, you don't just go in and flip a

941
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: switch right and all of a sudden, maybe you do.

942
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: I mean maybe when.

943
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: You're a veteran team and you're a team that's been

944
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: together for so long, you kind of get into a

945
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: lull and then you realize, you know, your mortality comes

946
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: into play when you look at it and you go,

947
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: we're a senior. You know, we're seniors now, and this

948
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: is it, this is our last run, and then you

949
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: really buckle down. But was there something schematically that Purdue

950
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: came up with defensively that allowed them to turn up

951
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: that intensity in Chicago.

952
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 8: No, they just did what they were supposed to do,

953
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 8: and they did it with enthusiasm and energy and connectedness

954
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 8: and urgency. And I don't think it was ever a

955
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 8: schematic issue for Purdue. I think it was just about

956
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 8: when Purdue is good defensively, their guys were doing what

957
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 8: they were supposed to do. It's not a great answer,

958
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 8: but I never had a great answer for why it

959
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 8: wasn't there all season long either, So better late than never,

960
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 8: I guess. But they just figured it out, played with

961
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 8: senior year urgency. And you know, for as much as

962
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 8: as you know, the seniors were kind of the face

963
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 8: of Pretty's inconsistency all season long. Their seniors are now

964
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 8: the face of them finding the solution at the right

965
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 8: time and as they hope, maintaining it through the NSUWA tournament.

966
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: Here was the Big Ten tournament the best that Purdue

967
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: has played all year, or were there actually stretches maybe

968
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: even in the beginning of the year when they were

969
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: building that resume with out of conference fos where they

970
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: were playing even better than that.

971
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think when you look at non conference play

972
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 8: and the game they wanted Alabama was a big time win,

973
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 8: the game they wanted Texas against Texas Tech where they

974
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 8: just obliterated full strength Texas Tech and the Bahamas, those

975
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 8: were glimpses of what Pretty is capable of, and I

976
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 8: think you only saw it thereafter in birth that didn't

977
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 8: really or the seven game winning streak mid Big Ten

978
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 8: season was another glimpse, and then they would just come

979
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 8: out and just not have it. And they lost a

980
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 8: lot of close games, a lot of elite opponents, and

981
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 8: it just there was never a great reason for it.

982
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 8: It just I don't think Pretty took anything for granted.

983
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 8: But they also never rose to the occasion the way

984
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 8: you expected a senior class of really high end competitors

985
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 8: to do so. And that's why they ended up with

986
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 8: five five home losses. And it was never offense. Their

987
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 8: offense has been great all year. It was just a

988
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 8: matter of them not just trying to beat people with

989
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 8: offense and actually buckling down and buying in defensively. And

990
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 8: they just flipped it on a dime in Chicago, and

991
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 8: you got to get credit. But you also kind of

992
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 8: look back and be like, well, you know, if they've

993
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 8: done this all year long, things would be very different here.

994
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 8: But as I said before, better late than ever.

995
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: Brian Newbert's my guest from Golden Black. He's on the

996
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: Java House cole Brew Coffee guest line of You know,

997
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: Produe's got a lot of weapons.

998
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: We know that, and they've won in different ways.

999
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: But between Braiden Smith and Trey Kaufman Wren and I know, look,

1000
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: Braden Smith's about to become the most prolific assist distributor

1001
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: in the history of college basketball. I mean, it goes

1002
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: without saying his value and the different things that he

1003
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: can do. But if you really want to corral Purdue,

1004
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: is Purdue more stunted with the neutralization of Braiden Smith

1005
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: or Trey Kaufman.

1006
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 8: Ren, Well, nobody can neutralize Braden Smith. So it's I

1007
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 8: guess we'll kind of have to wait and see. They've

1008
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 8: been putting two people on the ball to try to

1009
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 8: get the ball out of his hands lately, and then

1010
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 8: in the Big Ten Tourney at forty six assists before games,

1011
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 8: so you know he's not making shots the way he

1012
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 8: normally does. But when the offense functions at the level

1013
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 8: it did in a Big Ten tournament, does it matter.

1014
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 8: I think people still have to guard him as the

1015
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 8: score and that opens up a lot of things for him.

1016
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 8: But I think that he's the straw that stirs the drink.

1017
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 8: To use the most horrible cliche I can possibly think

1018
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 8: of on the street corner in downtown Saint Louis. I

1019
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 8: do think things have opened up for traycoff Mouran a

1020
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 8: little bit more than they did throughout the regular season.

1021
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 8: I think people were switching that ball screen with Braden

1022
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 8: Smith most of the year and that threw some that

1023
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 8: through a wrench into things a little bit in terms

1024
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 8: of their in terms of their offensive connection. I think

1025
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 8: that fours, as traycoff Moren's playing now are a little

1026
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 8: bit better suited to guard ball screens than the fives

1027
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 8: he was going against last year. Where but Perdue won

1028
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 8: a lot of games this year, not as many as

1029
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 8: they would have liked, but they still won a lot

1030
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 8: of games this year, with Trey coff Morn only only

1031
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 8: scoring thirteen points a game as opposed to the twenty

1032
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 8: he scored last year. So I'd say that Braden Smith

1033
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 8: is probably the guy that really has to be at

1034
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 8: his best for you to be his best, because he weaponizes.

1035
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 8: I've always said this about Braiden Smith. When you're on

1036
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 8: the floor with him as an offensive player, you are

1037
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 8: a twenty five percent better player than you would be otherwise.

1038
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 8: And I think that's that's really the key to produce success.

1039
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 8: The three point shooters around him, the Oscar clock getting

1040
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 8: weaponized in the Big un Tournament, direct reflection of Braiden Smith,

1041
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 8: Tray Poff and Ran, direct reflection of Braiden Smith, and

1042
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 8: he just he just raises the whole thing to a

1043
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 8: different level.

1044
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, look Smith, obviously there are so many

1045
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, we were just talking to Luke Gertle, who

1046
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people see as kind of

1047
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: the era apparent for what Braden Smith has been able

1048
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: to do right and Erdle has been at the high

1049
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: school level, you know, thirty four and eleven in his

1050
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: last game, right in the he can affect the game

1051
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: in so many ways, but is a score Yeah to

1052
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: Braydon Smith. Do you think of Brayden Smith as does

1053
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: his scoring facilitate then his distribution.

1054
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 3: Or in the other areas or is it the other

1055
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 3: way around?

1056
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 8: Yes? No, I think when people have to guard him

1057
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 8: as a score the turning point for Braiden as good

1058
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 8: as Braden Smith was as oppression, and the turning point

1059
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 8: for him in his career was when he started shooting

1060
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 8: off fall screens as a sophomore. People had to come

1061
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 8: up and guard him as a scorer, and that opened

1062
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 8: up Zach Edy and pick and roll left and right

1063
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 8: and probably made probably was the big difference in Zach

1064
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 8: Edy becoming a lottery pick as opposed to a late

1065
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 8: first rounder early second rounder like he might have been otherwise.

1066
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think Braden Smith's better and more dynamic

1067
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 8: when people have to guard him as a score. And

1068
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 8: I think once you get that record out of the way,

1069
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 8: you know, how can that not be on somebody's mind,

1070
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 8: like you're if you're on the cusp of history like that,

1071
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 8: I don't know how you couldn't think of that, you know.

1072
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 8: But once he gets that record out of the way,

1073
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 8: I think you might see a little bit of different

1074
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 8: Braden Smith.

1075
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: Brian, there's kind of this weird history. Brian Nibbert's my

1076
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: guest from Golden Black. There's kind of this weird history

1077
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: with Purdue of like really bad and almost at times

1078
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: unfair locations that they've got to play in the NCAA tournament.

1079
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: And I'm going on the way back. I mean, I remember,

1080
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, once they had to play like LSU in

1081
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: either I can't remember if it was Baton Rouge or

1082
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, down in in eighty six. I think it

1083
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 1: was they had to play Memphis one year close to Memphis.

1084
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there've always been weird things with that. Is

1085
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: it kind of weird to you because it was to

1086
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: me that they would potentially play Missouri in Saint Louis.

1087
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, but they also got to play Houston and Indiapols

1088
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 8: last year in the Sweet sixteen, which was a really

1089
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 8: raw deal for huge.

1090
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1091
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 8: Fair, it's just one. It's just one of the buying

1092
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 8: spots in the end.

1093
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: But I felt like, yeah, I guess you're right, because

1094
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: Perdue was not like a one seed that earned that

1095
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: right to go through Indianapolis, right, It just kind of

1096
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: happened that way.

1097
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: Fill fair point, yeah, real, fair point. Yeah.

1098
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

1099
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: One of the advantages, by the way, of being on

1100
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: a street corner in Saint Louis doing a radio interview

1101
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: in downtown is that there's never any traffic in downtown

1102
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, so there's not a whole lot of distraction.

1103
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 2: Right.

1104
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 8: Well, Kentucky's here, So if you don't think this city

1105
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 8: is damned to its skills with people, then is it

1106
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 8: news for you?

1107
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 6: So?

1108
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 2: Is it overrun with the big Blue nation? Is that

1109
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 2: where we're getting at here?

1110
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 8: Not yet, but it will be here in an hour

1111
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 8: or two.

1112
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 2: Brian, listen, I'm gonna need you to do me a favor.

1113
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: I want you to try to hide your enthusiasm over

1114
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: the fact that Kentucky fans are going to be surrounding you.

1115
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 8: Well, I'm more worried about the media room because they

1116
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 8: descend like locus on the media room too. When you

1117
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 8: always as a media member covering the Ansulbay Tournament, you

1118
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 8: always want to be somewhere other than Kentucky because.

1119
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 3: That they are.

1120
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 8: They are an army, they are a they are a

1121
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 8: sovereign nation all to themselves.

1122
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, Brian, I don't know how much you have

1123
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: have looked, and I've seen a fair amount of this

1124
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: on social media in the last day. I think sometimes

1125
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: we prematurely were like throwing the dirt on college basketball.

1126
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, I know that

1127
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: we live in the era of the nil and of

1128
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: the portal, and of greed and of transfers. And there

1129
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of things about college basketball to wring

1130
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: your hands over or to become a little bit concerned with.

1131
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 2: But the tournament itself has provided already.

1132
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: I saw, for example, the press conference for two players

1133
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: from Howard and they had just lost their seasons over

1134
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: and they're sitting there talking about what a difference the

1135
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: coach made and their lives and how he's the leader

1136
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: of young men, and you know, and we see this

1137
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: across the board, and Brian, you don't have to look

1138
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: hard for it. There are still plenty of examples in

1139
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: this tournament of what's right about college basketball.

1140
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: Correct.

1141
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 8: Yes, one of the great things about college basketball, One

1142
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 8: of the great things that is the way tournaments is

1143
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 8: that it's like humanity unfiltered, Like you can't you can't

1144
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 8: launder it. It's all right there happening in front of

1145
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 8: your eyes, and you see what these coaches mean to

1146
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 8: their players. You see what this moment means to these players,

1147
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 8: and you see what just the opportunity means to all

1148
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 8: of these guys with some of these smaller schools, but

1149
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 8: you also see the bigger schools have to deal with

1150
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 8: pressure and expectations and how they respond to it. It

1151
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 8: really is kind of humanity unfiltered, and it's why, in

1152
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 8: my opinion, it's kind of what makes this event the

1153
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 8: best event sports. So you see people breaking down in

1154
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 8: tears and press conferences and things like that, and it's

1155
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 8: just it's just a really neat event and just a

1156
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 8: really neat look into humanity, I guess, is the way

1157
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 8: I would put it.

1158
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: Well, they do anything, no I do.

1159
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: I think it's I mean, look, I'm at Fastbreak Fridays

1160
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: at Prime forty seven, right there's I mean, it's packed

1161
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: with people that are out here because it is it

1162
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: literally is part of the American culture.

1163
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 2: The NCAA Tournament, I mean, everything about it it is.

1164
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: This is this is day two of the best two

1165
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: days in sport arguably. I mean, it's what Super Bowl Sunday,

1166
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: I realize is like an American holiday, but so too

1167
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: not one, but two of the NCAA Tournament. And I

1168
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: think it's because Brian, and look, we love you know,

1169
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: the the legacies of Kentucky and Kansas and.

1170
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: You know in Purdue for that matter.

1171
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: Yes, but the high points and you know, the Furmans

1172
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: of yesteryear, and you know, that's what makes it what

1173
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: it is.

1174
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's great.

1175
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1176
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 8: How many people, you know, all of our lives have

1177
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 8: we connected with standing around a television, you know in March. Yeah,

1178
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 8: it's just that it brings people together. Like I don't

1179
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 8: know how much of my life I've spent I've spent

1180
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 8: standing next to a television in a media room just

1181
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 8: talking to some but you don't know about how a

1182
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 8: game's going.

1183
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: And somebody hits a big shot and yeah, totally yeah.

1184
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 8: Hey, what's going on? What's going on in that game

1185
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 8: over there? And and then hurrying over to the TV

1186
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 8: when they tell me that it's somebody's up one with

1187
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 8: five seconds to go. It's just a really really unique

1188
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 8: part of Americana.

1189
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: I guess, Okay, so give me give me your final four.

1190
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: By the way, Brian, am I allowed to? I know

1191
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: you cover one of the teams, so maybe that's unfair

1192
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: to ask.

1193
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's uh.

1194
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 8: I think produced capable. I just I don't want to

1195
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 8: I can't say I've seen enough. But like the Arizona's

1196
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 8: Little Ball, I think Michigan's vulnerable. I think they have

1197
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 8: shown some vulnerabilities that could get them beat. I like Duke,

1198
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 8: I think Purdue has a real shot. I don't know

1199
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 8: if I'd go so far as to pick them because

1200
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 8: this is such a random event. Uh, and they don't

1201
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 8: have I think the difference maker with Perdue when they

1202
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 8: went to the Final Four a couple of years ago,

1203
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 8: was you just had this force of nature that was

1204
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 8: just the same guy every single game.

1205
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just unstoppable.

1206
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 8: Just took such a toll on people and was so consistent,

1207
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 8: you know, Purdue, all that inconsistency throughout the regular season.

1208
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 8: That's still part of Purdue's story here, and they got

1209
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 8: to prove themselves that they can carry this stuff on

1210
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 8: through the Antonablea tournament here. But I'd give Perdue the

1211
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 8: benefit of the doubt here. They can win four games

1212
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 8: the next two weeks and get back.

1213
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:38,479
Speaker 2: I like Duke.

1214
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 8: I think I like Florida. I hate picking one seeds.

1215
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I hear you, Yeah, you always want to find. I

1216
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: mean Houston. You know, Houston's a two there. I like

1217
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: the way they defend, but can they score enough? You

1218
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: know their question marks? Okay, lastly, and listen, I realize

1219
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Purdue tonight taking on Queens. It's in Saint Louis that

1220
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: game seven thirty tip Brian Newbert to have it all

1221
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: covered at Golden Black, and Brian, you know, we know

1222
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: you look no further than this tournament, and you look

1223
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: no further than produce history. We know the importance of

1224
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: taking it one game at a time. So I understand

1225
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: that Queen's is there and they got to win that game.

1226
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: But should Purdue advance? Have you gotten any feel at

1227
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: all between Miami and Missouri as to which of those

1228
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: two would be the better matchup for Purdue?

1229
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Any any gut on that at all?

1230
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 8: I don't have anything for you there. I mean, I'm

1231
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 8: with you, and that's yeah. But that's the beauty of

1232
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 8: the tournamentent right right. And I just know Miami's got

1233
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 8: Maleak for no. Purdue knows him real well obviously.

1234
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's our leading scorer too, so it's a good

1235
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: point leading score.

1236
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 8: Those teams are going to be real athletic that can

1237
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 8: be a problem for Purdue at cons three point shooting

1238
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 8: piece of it. I don't know which of those two

1239
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 8: teams is better at shooting breeze. That's always a concern

1240
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 8: if you got to play Missouri on their home floor.

1241
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 8: I don't know how Missouri is going to turn out,

1242
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 8: and I don't know if you're even going to be

1243
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 8: able to distinguish the Purdue fans here from the Missouri

1244
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 8: fans to the color schemes.

1245
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

1246
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 8: But no, yeah, I don't really have much there. I'd

1247
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 8: like produced chances against either of them, to be honest

1248
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 8: with you, the way produce playing right now.

1249
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Well, Brian, I'll let you go enjoy some whether it

1250
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: be some toasted ravioli or some Ted Drew's frozen custard

1251
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: or any of the other the Emo's pizza, which I

1252
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: think is the weirdest thing ever in Saint Louis, but

1253
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: they will throw you down a flight of stairs for it.

1254
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: But well, be looking for the coverage at Golden Black

1255
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: for Purdue tonight, and I certainly appreciate the time on

1256
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: what is going to be a fun but busy Friday.

1257
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 8: No problem, Jake, thanks for having me and a little

1258
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 8: known fact. I've been asking the locals around here. This

1259
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 8: city is in fact built on rock and roll.

1260
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: There you go, and and you gave us the traffic

1261
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: for birt earlier with Kentucky fans coming in too, so

1262
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: we covered all the bases right, love it. Brian Nubert

1263
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: joining us always fun from Golden Black on the Java

1264
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: House Colebrew Coffee guest line.

1265
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

1266
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: The way it works, and I think most people know this,

1267
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: But in talking to coaches over the years, when the

1268
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: tournament bracket comes out and you see you know who

1269
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: you draw, you basically div you up your coaching staff

1270
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, you know we've got, however, many

1271
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: assistants and so and so. You are in charge of

1272
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: scouting and find out for me what you know about

1273
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: this team, you know, Missouri somebody else. Let me know

1274
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: what you find out. You know, scout out and see

1275
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: what you can about Miami and we will focus on Queen's.

1276
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: And then there also is some element of thought, and

1277
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I think this might be more prevalent than.

1278
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 3: People realize, but I think that schools get to a.

1279
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Point when you're playing well enough where the beauty that

1280
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: you get there, and that's not to say that you

1281
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: don't scout and prepare for our potential matchups.

1282
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 2: But the beauty is thereo.

1283
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: If your team's clicking at a high enough level, you

1284
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: can simply say, you know what we know who we are,

1285
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: and we're confident enough in that that we're just gonna

1286
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: go in and we know what we need to do

1287
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: and let the chips fall regardless of And that's not

1288
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: to say you don't scout it, Okay, I'm not saying that,

1289
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: but the tournament's tough because that turnaround of forty eight

1290
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,959
Speaker 1: hours to not know who it is that you're gonna

1291
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: face next. Now you get an advantage sometimes and the

1292
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: bonus of the fact that you can watch you know

1293
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: if you are if you play before, So if Purdue

1294
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: plays before Miami and Missouri, then you can you can

1295
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: watch that game once you know that you're advancing and

1296
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: get even better feel for it. But that's also the

1297
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: magic of the NCAA tournament. And as I talked about

1298
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: at the top of the show, I think one of

1299
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: the schools that really exemplifies the randomness of the tournament

1300
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: is what we saw from Josh Shirtz and Saint Louis

1301
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: last night and we saw it in Indiana State, and

1302
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: I think Josh Shirts last night kind of sent the

1303
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: message as well, because when you watched what Saint Louis

1304
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: did against your they eviscerated Georgia. I mean they came

1305
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 1: out in that second half and in the first five

1306
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: minutes of that second half they were often running and

1307
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,439
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, I mean at this point they

1308
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: are They took the will out of Georgia and they

1309
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: were up forty at one point, and I think part

1310
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,479
Speaker 1: of that was Josh Shirts sending the message of maybe

1311
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: you should have let in my Indiana State Sycamores because

1312
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: the team runs in similar fashion. They run unbelievable sets.

1313
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Their ball movement is incredible. They go down to one side,

1314
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,919
Speaker 1: they kind of run this like triangular ball movement motion

1315
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: from one corner and then they can ball reverse. They

1316
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: have multiple people that can shoot the three or pull up,

1317
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: and then Avila is the eyes of all of it

1318
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: and he everything is facilitated through Avila's ability to generate

1319
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: offense through his vision and his passing ability. And they

1320
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: play so uniquely offensively, and they play so high paced

1321
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: offensively Saint Louis, and they're so efficient regardless of when

1322
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: they have those five guys on the floor, it doesn't

1323
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: matter which of those what starter, where the ball is.

1324
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: They have multiple scores and multiple comfortable scores at all

1325
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: times on the floor. And so because of that, and

1326
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: for that reason, I think Georgia just didn't know what

1327
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: hit him because it was so unique to what they've seen.

1328
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 8: Now.

1329
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: If you look at Saint Louis's season, Saint Louis at

1330
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: one point was like what like twenty four and one

1331
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. And then in the Atlantic ten,

1332
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: once they they're getting everybody a second. God, that's when

1333
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: they pick up a couple of losses because teams have

1334
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: finally become.

1335
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 2: More familiar with what it is that they do.

1336
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 1: But the teams that run completely unique sets and systems,

1337
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: those teams are the ones that can really cause problems

1338
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: in the tournament because they're going out of league and

1339
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: they're going up against the team that you know, Texas

1340
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: A and M is big and athletic, but they don't

1341
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: play a truly unique style. They just out big and

1342
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: out and out athletic if that's the word Saint Mary's.

1343
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: But Saint Louis goes in and you're in your head

1344
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: is on a swivel and you're like, what in the

1345
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: world is happening here? And if you're in the A

1346
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: ten and you've seen it a couple of times, then

1347
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: you're familiar with it. But the beauty of the tournament

1348
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: is you have teams sometimes that are like, this is

1349
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: how we play, and this is how we're gonna play,

1350
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: and you come out and try to do something against it.

1351
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: And that's and you absolutely saw yesterday the you know,

1352
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis's case, for example, what happens when teams

1353
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: are caught off guard with that high school basketball. If

1354
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: you're just joining us. Luke Earnl joined the program. Earl

01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: point advantage to the Red Raiders over John Gross, who

1380
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,559

01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 5: to see the Boys in Blue take on the Detroit

1392
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 5: City FC. That is a seven o'clock I was about

1393
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 5: to say tip, but they don't say tip, so I

1394
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 5: guess ball drop.

1395
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what they seem and soccer ball drop,

1396
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: ball drop, he says, I know.

1397
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1398
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 4: Seven o'clock kickoff, seven o'clock on the pitch.

1399
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 2: How's that?

1400
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Maybe not first pitch, but on the pitch, seven o'clock

1401
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: on the pitch for the indy eleven? All right, So

1402
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:13,560
Speaker 1: what number would you like?

1403
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 6: You know what?

1404
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: This is the weekend, Eddie for the sweet sixteen, so

1405
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: we should go in a variation. But it is a

1406
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: family four pack, so let's go sixteen. Divide them by

1407
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: four would be four. How about texter number four to

1408
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: you at two, three, nine, ten seventy.

1409
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 4: How's that sounds good to me? Three one, seven seventy.

1410
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,759
Speaker 1: All right, let's go now to and when it comes

1411
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: to by the way, when it comes to knowing exactly

1412
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: the terminology for soccer, I guess you could say that

1413
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: Eddie and I are both lost and clueless, which is

1414
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: the perfect segue for our next guest if I'm not mistaken, right.

1415
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 4: Jake, poor producer here, he didn't have it ready for you.

1416
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 2: We'll just have Kyle Menrip. When we're talking lost.

1417
01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 6: It we bringing on Kyle Nrip from the NFL, the.

1418
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: Indian Halfless Star.

1419
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Indeed, Java House cole Brew Coffee guest line is where

1420
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: we find the Kyle Dunrip. Kyle, I'll get right to this.

1421
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: We had Luke Erdela on a little bit earlier on

1422
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: The show Man. What a solid, solid young man. I mean,

1423
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 1: I think a high school basketball you see a lot

1424
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: of great young players, but when you're talking about one

1425
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: that is a presumptive mister Basketball, a top fifty recruit

1426
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: just as ground it is could be.

1427
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 2: And it was a great conversation.

1428
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 1: But is it safe to say that at this point

1429
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 1: he is probably the absolute front runner for mister Basketball?

1430
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think so.

1431
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 9: I probably felt like that throughout the season, but you know,

1432
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 9: after watching what he did last week, and you know, certainly,

1433
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 9: you know, being able to beat Pike and what he did,

1434
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 9: you know, thirty four points, eleven rebounds and everything he

1435
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 9: does for his team, Yeah, you have to kind of

1436
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 9: feel like he's in a good position here. No no

1437
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 9: offense to anybody else, Noah Smith from Plainfield or to

1438
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 9: Kimbi Shaw from Crown Point, but you know, some some

1439
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 9: other guys in that mix for sure. But yeah, I

1440
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 9: just I feel like Luke's probably done about everything you

1441
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 9: could possibly do up to this point to.

1442
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 8: Be in a pretty good position there.

1443
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: And of course his Marauders going up now against Decatur Central.

1444
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: We can get to that in a second, but before

1445
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 1: we get to that four A matchup, what other matchups

1446
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: at the semi state level, Kyle do you find to

1447
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: be the most intriguing.

1448
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I really feel like.

1449
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 9: The setup at Seymour is going to be really good.

1450
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 9: And I was kind of debating, you know, whether to

1451
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 9: go there or to Newcastle, but I think that's going

1452
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 9: to be fantastic. You have you know, Ron Colly playing

1453
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 9: against Silver Creek in the first game there, and then

1454
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 9: the second game might be the game of the day.

1455
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 8: Really.

1456
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 9: Cathedral and Princeton ranked number two and three in Class

1457
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 9: three A, so we're going to have people down there

1458
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 9: covering that. But that's that's going to be fantastic, and

1459
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 9: you know, potentially you could get you know, Silver Creek

1460
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 9: Cathedral in the championship game tomorrow night in the semi State,

1461
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 9: which would be high scoring and I think a lot

1462
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 9: of fun. I think that game people probably have been

1463
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 9: looking forward to the possibility of that game all season.

1464
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 9: So I think seymouruld be a great place to be.

1465
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 9: You know, it's you know, you kind of look around.

1466
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 3: There's a lot of.

1467
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 9: Really good I think the the four A setup up

1468
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 9: at Elkhart with the North semi State to see if

1469
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 9: Crown Point can make it through and potentially play north

1470
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 9: Ridge in that championship game tomorrow night, you know, that

1471
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,600
Speaker 9: could be really good as well. But but man, you

1472
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 9: can't you can't really go wrong. If you went down

1473
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 9: to the Hatchet House, I mean, that's that's gonna be packed.

1474
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 6: It's gonna be awesome.

1475
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 9: Bar Reeve is playing in it, Bloomfield which is close by,

1476
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 9: Howser's got a great team. Liberty Christian's coming from a

1477
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 9: long way away, but they're very talented. So those four teams, uh,

1478
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 9: that'll be that'll be great as well. And the two

1479
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 9: A two A all the year has been good. And

1480
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 9: I think both both the situations at Southport and Munsey

1481
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 9: Field House Uh, you're gonna have four really good teams too,

1482
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 9: so not a lot you can go wrong with tomorrow.

1483
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Is there a Cinderella story still remaining? I mean, is

1484
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: there a team that you look towards and say, at

1485
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: any class, really Kyle Kyle and then RIPINDI star my guest,

1486
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: that you look at and say, okay, that I did

1487
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: not think that they would still be here at this point.

1488
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 9: I mean, honestly, probably the cater Central a little bit

1489
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 9: and the you know, the for.

1490
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 6: A in Newcastle.

1491
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 9: I would say they're probably the underdog and they kind

1492
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 9: of liked that role, I would say, and you know,

1493
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 9: but they were able to uh, you know, their their

1494
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 9: section was definitely win a bowl. They they took, they

1495
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 9: took advantage of it there. They won on the last

1496
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 9: second shot in one of their games against Franklin Central.

1497
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 6: Uh.

1498
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 9: They they played really well last week against Lawrence Central

1499
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 9: to get here. So yeah, I think they're kind of

1500
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 9: in that in that role a little bit.

1501
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 8: They're twenty and.

1502
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 9: Six though, so I don't know they're the record's really good,

1503
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 9: so I don't know if you'd fully call them a

1504
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 9: Cinderella and on the other half of north of five

1505
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 9: eight or five A four A.

1506
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 6: In the North you have a.

1507
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 9: Four Waint Snyder, which you know took out Carmel last week,

1508
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 9: and I think that kind of shocked every buddy after

1509
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 9: Carmel beat.

1510
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 8: Fisher's the previous week. So they might be in that

1511
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 8: role a little bit.

1512
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 9: But you know, if you go up and down the

1513
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 9: list of teams, you know, most of the teams are

1514
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 9: are are very you know, heavily, you know, twenty three

1515
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 9: and three, twenty four and four, things like that. So

1516
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 9: the only teams that are you're the record might lead

1517
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 9: you to think they're Cinderella. Is somebody like you know,

1518
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 9: East Chicago Central, which is fifteen and twelve. They're playing

1519
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 9: Columbia City up at Logansport tomorrow, but you know, they're

1520
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 9: always good. I wouldn't necessarily call them the Cinderella. And

1521
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 9: then somebody like corwayn. Lewis is fifteen and eleven, but

1522
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 9: you know they play three and four eight teams all

1523
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 9: year and they're in class two ways, so sometimes their

1524
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 9: record not really indicative of how talented they are. So

1525
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 9: I don't know if there's a fully fully Cinderella story.

1526
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 9: North Reromillion might be that a little bit in one

1527
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 9: A you know, they're they're a team that's a little

1528
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 9: bit younger and it has made it here with the

1529
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 9: sixteen and eleven records, So that could be one, but

1530
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 9: not maybe not a you know, there are a few

1531
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 9: candidates here in there, but maybe not a true super underdogs.

1532
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: Kyle Neddrip is my guest Indianapol Starr.

1533
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm at fast break Friday, by the way, at Prime

1534
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: forty seven awesome as we're watching the NCAA tournament down here, Kyle,

1535
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to pivot a little bit and I love,

1536
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: you know, high school basketball, the tournament, all of that.

1537
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,600
Speaker 1: In talking to Luke Rdle, one of the things that

1538
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: I asked him about was, you know, we're seeing more

1539
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 1: and more and maybe this is a little bit of

1540
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: a figment of my own creation or mind, but we're

1541
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 1: seeing more and more of players that I think identifying

1542
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: themselves not for the high school they played for, but

1543
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,799
Speaker 1: rather for whatever summer circuit they're on or whatever AAU

1544
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: team they're playing for, and the magic and the honor

1545
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 1: of representing their high school has gone away a little bit.

1546
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: And I thought, maybe I'm making that up. I don't know,

1547
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: And I asked him about it he gave a great

1548
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: answer about it. But what I am seeing is a

1549
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 1: number of coaches now, including that just happened at Fisher's,

1550
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 1: that are leaving coaching high school basketball and going into,

1551
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, coaching at prep Garrett Wannegar from Fishers leaving

1552
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: and going I think to Iowa to a prep school.

1553
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: It seems like I'm seeing a higher turnover of high

1554
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: school coaches than in the past.

1555
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,560
Speaker 2: Is this a figment of my imagination?

1556
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 8: No, I don't think so.

1557
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 9: I think, you know, I actually wrote about that this week,

1558
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 9: and Luke was one of the people I talked to

1559
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 9: about it, and you know, just to get his, you know,

1560
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 9: kind of his take on why he stayed at the

1561
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 9: traditional high school you know level and didn't go to

1562
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 9: prep school because honestly, all of these top guys have

1563
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 9: people in their ear about going to prep schools, and

1564
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 9: it's it's kind of up to you and your family

1565
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 9: to decide what you want to do and what's best

1566
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 9: for you. And there's a lot of factors for that,

1567
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 9: you know, nil is part of that, you know, the

1568
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 9: the chance to play with maybe just a higher level

1569
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 9: of competition and teammates and against you know, top one

1570
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 9: hundred type players all the time as part of that.

1571
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 9: And you know, there's a lot of things tugging at people,

1572
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 9: including you know, for coaches who you know, there's a

1573
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 9: money aspect to this where you know, you're not getting

1574
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 9: paid a ton of money coach high school basketball, where.

1575
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 8: You know another situation you might be you know so

1576
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 8: and that you know, I think.

1577
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 9: That's part of the reason for Garrett, you know, going

1578
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 9: to uh Iowa United Prep, you know, and the fact

1579
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 9: that he wants to be a college coach someday.

1580
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 6: I think that's definitely part of it too.

1581
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 9: But you know, there's a lot of there's a lot

1582
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 9: of things in high school basketball.

1583
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 8: Right now, and you brought up a couple of them

1584
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 8: there with.

1585
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 9: The prep schools, and you know, coaches maybe getting you know,

1586
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 9: maybe getting tired of having to deal with a lot

1587
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 9: of different things, and part of it's the year round

1588
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 9: sort of burnout of it all.

1589
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 4: But but yeah, I mean, I I don't know what will.

1590
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 9: Happen, and I still think any of high school basketball

1591
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 9: is not not going anywhere. It's still gonna be great.

1592
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 9: We're gonna have great, great things tomorrow all over the state.

1593
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 9: But you know, when you look farther down the road,

1594
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 9: I do wonder what it looks like and can it

1595
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 9: keep thriving without If you don't have these top one

1596
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,600
Speaker 9: hundred Tide players playing high school basketball anymore, you know,

1597
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 9: it will I'm not saying it will go away, but

1598
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 9: it will. It will diminish into some aspect. It has to,

1599
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 9: you know, if you can start losing these players.

1600
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 2: So and I also think that high school coaches deserve

1601
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 2: a lot of credit.

1602
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: This has always probably been the case, Kyle, but now

1603
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: with the you know, with social media and the rankings

1604
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: and recruiting aspects in NIL and all of it. I

1605
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: think you have a lot of parents that are putting

1606
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 1: pressure on coaches. You've always had that, but they but

1607
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 1: now there are bigger stakes for their kid to play,

1608
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: and so they're putting more and more pressure and putting things,

1609
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,919
Speaker 1: maybe even more uncomfortably on the coaches themselves, where eventually

1610
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: you'd say, yeah, I'm not dealing with it, right, I mean,

1611
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: am I Am I wrong in that regard?

1612
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 9: No, for sure, and it's not it's not all parents,

1613
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 9: but but every parent, you know, just just by the

1614
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 9: nature of it, you're going to be based towards your

1615
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,560
Speaker 9: own kid and and what's best for them, and you

1616
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 9: may think it's what's best for them is whatever you

1617
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 9: think it is, and that may not your priorities don't

1618
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,720
Speaker 9: match what the coaches priorities are, which is to run

1619
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 9: a program and everything that goes into that. So there

1620
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,560
Speaker 9: are a lot of things tugging on on coaches and

1621
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 9: a lot of things stugging on parents that are maybe

1622
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 9: run counter to each other. So you know, it's it's

1623
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 9: UH and they have options now. You know, you don't

1624
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 9: have to you have options even within the transfer rule

1625
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 9: now to UH to have some different things you can

1626
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 9: do with.

1627
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:44,879
Speaker 6: The first time transfer.

1628
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 9: So yeah, it's a it's kind of a it's an

1629
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 9: interesting mix of things happening right now in high school basketball.

1630
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 9: It's not all bad and it's not all It doesn't

1631
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 9: mean it's the end of the world, but there there

1632
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 9: are some definitely some things that are changing, and you know,

1633
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 9: I don't think we'll have any answers in the next

1634
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 9: year or so on where it's going, but it is

1635
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 9: interesting to me.

1636
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Well, Kyle, I know you'll have it all covered this

1637
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 1: weekend for the semi state and hopefully we'll have you

1638
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:15,839
Speaker 1: back on next week to kind of preview what happens

1639
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,719

Speaker 2: Lots of good.

1655
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Games already underway here today. I'll tell you one of

1656
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: the things that is interesting we talked about earlier. I

1657
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: think if you are a number one seed, or you

1658
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: are a you know, a huge favorite in a particular game,

1659
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 1: number one, number two seed, or you're going against some

1660
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: game where everybody's like, you know, I still remember, and

1661
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: I realize I'm referencing on the way back here.

1662
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 2: But I remember vividly.

1663
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: I grew up a huge IU fan, and I remember,

1664
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, I always looked so forward to selection Sunday.

1665
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 1: My buddy Matt Jaqueline and I would always try to

1666
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: predict where they were going to get seeded and who

1667
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: they were going to go up against. And and I

1668
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:43,879
Speaker 1: remember in the I would have been in the seventh

1669
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 1: grade the pairings coming out, my buddy Jason Keller looking

1670
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: at me and laughing and saying, Cleveland State. Who in

1671
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 1: the world is Cleveland State? I mean, what an automatic

1672
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: to win. And that was the first year that a

1673
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 1: Bob nineteen was knocked out in the first round. And

1674
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: you know that that was a new phenomenon at that time.

1675
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: You know that that element of it, but you took

1676
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 1: for granted that sometimes when you go into a game

1677
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: in the early rounds and you just automatically assume if

1678
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: it's a smaller school, that you know is a given.

1679
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: And in today's college basketball world, obviously you know every

1680
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: team has that guy as Kentucky right from a couple

1681
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: of years ago. Everybody has that guy that can get hot,

1682
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: as Santa Clara does. Right now, I mean, Santa Clair

1683
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 1: is up one on Kentucky with eight minutes left.

1684
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 4: Jack Golkie is out here talking about Jake.

1685
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: That's right, Uh, you know, I mean, Jack Golkie comes

1686
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: out in one game. And of course now in the

1687
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: nil Era, a team like a Santa Clara, and you

1688
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: never know, I.

1689
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 2: Mean, and I don't.

1690
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at their roster, whether or not they

1691
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 1: have transfers or that's uh, you know, a homegrown type roster.

1692
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 1: But Kentucky a younger team. They've had an inconsistent year.

1693
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: But right now Santa Clara leading. But the other one

1694
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking about was Arizona, because Arizona against Long Island.

1695
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: If you are in a game like that, you want

1696
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: to come out and just make it known right away,

1697
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: like no, this is our territory and here we are.

1698
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: And that's what Arizona's doing. They're up already early, running

1699
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 1: away from Long Island. They're up thirteen at this point

1700
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: in that game's only about five minutes in Texas Tech

1701
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: leading Akron at the half. They've got a five point advantage.

1702
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: Virginia and Wright State just getting underway. So games are

1703
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 1: rolling along here. And yesterday we mentioned this. If you

1704
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 1: are in the Numbers game, we're keeping tally of it,

1705
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: and right now Joe Joe is holding on for biggest defeat,

1706
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 1: largest margin of defeat because Penn, who I thought Penn

1707
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 1: was my upset special baby. I had two Penn in

1708
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Northern Iowa. Those are the two teams that I thought

1709
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: could make some noise. Penn was beaten by thirty five.

1710
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 1: That is the largest loss in the tournament so far.

1711
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: And I feel bad for Ashley because she listens to

1712
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: the program only because I think her boyfriend makes her

1713
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: and uh she had Siena and they looked like they

1714
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: might be an upset special and then Duke was able

1715
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: to hold on in that game and pull away. But

1716
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,759
Speaker 1: great games yesterday. I feel like Carl still.

1717
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 5: By the way, Jet Carl is our leader right now

1718
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 5: for the highest seed to advance with high Point, Uh.

1719
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, furthest advancing double digit seed, right yeah, although but

1720
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: again you have so yeah because high Point would have

1721
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: advanced yesterday. So there's the chance for someone to do

1722
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: that today. We'll, you know, we'll see which one it

1723
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 1: may be. I can't remember, by the way, did did

1724
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina State win their playoffs? Their playing game they

1725
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:54,560
Speaker 1: were they were beaten by Texas.

1726
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, they were defeated by Texas.

1727
01:26:56,360 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so there you go. So that means Charlie's

1728
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:01,639
Speaker 2: out as well.

1729
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: The in looking at it and then looking over the games,

1730
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: it seems to me like we still haven't had that

1731
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: absolute shocking bracketbuster just yet. I mean, North Carolina losing

1732
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: to Virginia Commonwealth is an upset, but Virginia Commonwealth is

1733
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been to a Final four, they're coming

1734
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: out of a good league, and likewise, Wisconsin losing is

1735
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 1: an upset. But I don't know that anybody had Wisconsin

1736
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: as like a final four type run and high Point

1737
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: is one that has been in the tournament before, and

1738
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:36,560
Speaker 1: when you can shoot the ball the way they do,

1739
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:37,879
Speaker 1: you knew.

1740
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 2: They were gonna have a chance.

1741
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know that we've had yet one of

1742
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: those who's going to be the first number one bounce.

1743
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 3: Eddy oh Man.

1744
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 5: With the way both of these teams looked yesterday, I

1745
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 5: would say Michigan or Duke, but we still have yet

1746
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 5: to see Florida play. I still think the Gators are

1747
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 5: the most vulnerable number one seed, and then Michigan's not

1748
01:27:58,640 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 5: far behind.

1749
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: I thought Gonzaga yesterday looked rusty. But you also see

1750
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 1: sometimes teams that how often do you see it when

1751
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 1: a team wins a national title and you say to yourself,

1752
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and to think that it was like

1753
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 1: a twelve seed that had him on the ropes or

1754
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, a fourteen that had him on the ropes

1755
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: and they managed to snake their way out of that

1756
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: and then boom, that was their wake up call.

1757
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 2: We might say that too.

1758
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Gonzaga, maybe Duke, maybe Sienna will be

1759
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 1: the team that we'll look at with Duke if they

1760
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: end up in Indianapolis and we go, man, Sienna had

1761
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 1: him right there, had him right there.

1762
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:39,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if Kevin Bowen's.

1763
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: Son does any sort of a challenge like he does

1764
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: for the NFL schedule and trying to predict winners, But

1765
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 1: we'll find out, because Kevin is set to join us,

1766
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 1: going to do so on the other side, and we'll

1767
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 1: talk a little colts with them as well as we

1768

Speaker 1: last five minutes of that game, Texas Tech starting to

1782
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: pull away from Akron just a bit, and Arizona separating

1783

Speaker 1: us and Kevin will begin with this tournament itself. It

1788
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: is a tradition like no other. Sorry to steal that

1789
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:11,759
Speaker 1: from your favorite game golf in the Masters, but anything

1790
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: that jumped out at you from day number one in

1791
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: terms of games where you saw an upset or something

1792
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: that shocked you, or just the game you most enjoyed.

1793
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 6: Well, probably the high point story just in general.

1794
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 10: I know it's by the easy answer, but first of all,

1795
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:29,920
Speaker 10: that was a great game, I mean, just super high scoring.

1796
01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 10: I get that with thoughts that kind of does this

1797
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 10: every year, but I also thought this year they had

1798
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 10: some capabilities potentially getting on a run, So you know,

1799
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,799
Speaker 10: I thought that was just kind of a different angle

1800
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 10: to you know, how we typically view them.

1801
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 6: Obviously, Sienna, I mean just wild that.

1802
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 10: They played all their guys, you know, forty minutes. I know, yeah,

1803
01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 10: just crazy and really you know, Duke didn't pull away

1804
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 10: pull away until you know, final minute or two there.

1805
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 10: And then I do love be just the nature of what.

1806
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 6: We get tomorrow to start off the day, the fact

1807
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 6: that we get Josh Shirt and.

1808
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 10: Dusty Matt just from a local standpoint, and that we

1809
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,640
Speaker 10: end the night with Cinderella high Point with arkisos in

1810
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:12,679
Speaker 10: John cal Perry.

1811
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 6: So I do love those bookings for tomorrow. As we

1812
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 6: get into the round of.

1813
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 1: Thirty two, do you remember Kevin and I should have

1814
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 1: looked this up. Eddie probably will know off the top

1815
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: of his head. But do you guys remember when Syracuse

1816
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 1: was in the Big East Tournament and played I was

1817
01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: it a seven overtime game?

1818
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 3: Do you remember that? Like probably ten or twelve years ago?

1819
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1820
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 10: I think it was six if I remember correctly, Yeah,

1821
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 10: like Erica Evendorf and Johnny Flynn maybe.

1822
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: Okay, well you knew who I think was the lead

1823
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: and I could be wrong, but if I'm not mistaken,

1824
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 1: Jerry McNamara was the guy that was the leading minute

1825
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: tabulator in that game for Syracuse. And so I felt

1826
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 1: bad for the players from Sienna because I'm thinking they're

1827
01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: probably looking at them like, hey man, I'm going on

1828
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight minutes here, and he's thinking to himself, Yeah,

1829
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: I know, I played seventy in a game once, keep

1830
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 1: going right, Yeah.

1831
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 10: I honestly, every time they showed macnamara, I thought more

1832
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 10: back to.

1833
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 6: The National Championship game.

1834
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 10: Didn't he hit like six threes with Carmel Anthony in

1835
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:15,960
Speaker 10: that in that National That's right?

1836
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was he was like a lightning and

1837
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: a bottle scorer, right like he was just he was

1838
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 1: a streak shooter type.

1839
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, great, great, great shooter.

1840
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 10: But yeah, for some reason, I'm picturing like Eric Devendorf

1841
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 10: standing on the score table afterwards, and Johnny Flynn, who

1842
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 10: was a bust of an NBA draft pick.

1843
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 6: But yeah, that uh that was wild. It sticks overtime.

1844
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 2: By the way, do you remember when wasn't it?

1845
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 1: That was it the Timberwolves that took john They took

1846
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 1: back to back point guards including Johnny Flynn, and they

1847
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:48,599
Speaker 1: and I think they passed on Steph Curry.

1848
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but anyway, I digress.

1849
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 1: All right, Kevin, So let's get to this before we

1850
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 1: get into some Colt stuff, because I do want to

1851
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 1: talk a little NFL and as well as you Bots.

1852
01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 1: We can get into that, but uh, Purdue and and

1853
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 1: as you know, going up against Queens, your thoughts on

1854
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 1: Purdue and did Purdue's national championship run totally exercise the

1855
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 1: demons where we could no longer talk and or worry

1856
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 1: about early exits for them?

1857
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 10: You know, As far as Purdue, I'm just fascinated to see,

1858
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 10: you know what the next couple of weeks unfold.

1859
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 6: I mean, if they do get on a run and

1860
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 6: somehow some way finish it off.

1861
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 3: Here in India.

1862
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 10: I mean, you want to talk about one of the

1863
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 10: great sports stories period in our state that would certainly

1864
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 10: be very close to the top of the list, just

1865
01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:38,880
Speaker 10: with Frank Smith and Fletcher Lawyer and Trey Kaufman Ren

1866
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 10: and Matt Painter being there for two decades, and obviously

1867
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 10: the program.

1868
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 6: History is well well documented.

1869
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 10: You know, as far as the high See, I mean,

1870
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 10: I think you are removed from that. I mean, I

1871
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 10: guess every time you feel like you are, then you know,

1872
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 10: it only.

1873
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 6: Just creates more sweatiness and things like that.

1874
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,639
Speaker 10: But you know, last year they actually faced High Point

1875
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 10: in round one for people that remember that, and handled

1876
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:08,679
Speaker 10: them and then handled McNeese quite well and then obviously

1877
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 10: gavee Houston everything they could handle in the Sweet sixteam.

1878
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 6: But you know, we talked about this earlier.

1879
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 10: Today, Jake, like Matt Paynter delivering a title for Purdue

1880
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 10: and at some point Rick Carlisle delivering one for the Pacers.

1881
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:23,920
Speaker 10: Like it just seems like those two coaches, with their

1882
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 10: respective programs and franchises, like they deserve that.

1883
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 8: And I know sports isn't like that.

1884
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,160
Speaker 10: You know, it's not necessarily if you deserve it, but

1885
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 10: it just seems like their stories is over, you know,

1886
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 10: Purdue and the Pacers respectively. Almost you know, should have

1887
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 10: that chapter written for them, but you know, agating sports

1888
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 10: aren't like that. But you know, I can't wait for tonight.

1889
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:49,599
Speaker 10: I can't wait for the next couple of weeks.

1890
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 8: And in regards to.

1891
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 1: Purdue, by the way, I'm looking at it here and

1892
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 1: you're right, Devin Door played sixty one minutes that game.

1893
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,639
Speaker 1: Johnny Flynn sixty seven. Mac namara was not on that team.

1894
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why I was singing he was. That

1895
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 1: team must have been the mellow team where he had

1896
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: like an unbelievable Big East tournament, but nonetheless Syracuse a

1897
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 1: six overtime game that was back in two thousand and nine.

1898
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, you know the.

1899
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 1: Part about Painter Kevin, and I've always felt this way,

1900
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 1: and I think you could look at the Colts with this.

1901
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not necessarily the team. When you have a

1902
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,879
Speaker 1: team that has multiple cracks at it or is accused

1903
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 1: of at times falling short in seasons, then it's almost

1904
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: like the sports karma comes into play, and it's the

1905
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 1: year that they're not expected necessarily to be the slam

1906
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 1: dunk where they break through and they finally get one.

1907
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 1: Now perdue was obviously the beginning of the year, thought

1908
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: to be a FATA complete that they would be at

1909
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: the final four in Indianapolis. But we know how the

1910
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 1: year went, and now it seems to come together for him.

1911
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 1: It seems like this would be the kind of year

1912
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: where they sneak back and get in there. But there

1913
01:35:56,280 --> 01:36:00,679
Speaker 1: are obviously some challenges that come with it. So let's

1914
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:01,639
Speaker 1: go to the Colts.

1915
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 10: Now.

1916
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,640
Speaker 2: We talked about it in terms of free agency.

1917
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: Is this just the mo you wait, they tried to

1918
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 1: maybe they did take a swing at Hendrickson, It didn't

1919
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: come to fruition, and instead they end up just kind

1920
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: of complimenting their roster with roll pieces and it seems

1921
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 1: from them, from my view, to be underwhelming what they

1922
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:23,639
Speaker 1: did in free agency.

1923
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 2: But am I being too harsh?

1924
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 6: No?

1925
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 10: I think that's certainly how I describe it right now,

1926
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 10: And honestly, it seems to be kind of the the

1927
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:35,640
Speaker 10: likely path. I mean, they really just retooled a lot

1928
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 10: of their depths. I mean, they've definitely added defensive line,

1929
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 10: especially a little bit in the secondary from a depth standpoint,

1930
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 10: But yeah, you know, I think you've.

1931
01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 6: Summed it up well.

1932
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 10: Hendrickson was the big swing, and you know, they've got

1933
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 10: upwards that think of about thirty million in caps based

1934
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 10: right now, and you know it's not like you have

1935
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 10: to even save some of that for a first round pick.

1936
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 10: So I'm very curious to see how they fend that.

1937
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,479
Speaker 10: You know, I thought some of these moves that you saw,

1938
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:07,519
Speaker 10: like trading away Michael Pittman Jr. And you know, trading

1939
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 10: away as I or Franklin, I.

1940
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 6: Just assume you know you were doing that for a

1941
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 6: big swing. And you know, by all accounts, I think

1942
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:14,640
Speaker 6: they did make the.

1943
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 10: Big swing of Hendrickson, and then the Ravens came in

1944
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 10: and obviously up the Annie and there you go. So yeah,

1945
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 10: very underwhelming. I think it's probably how I would describe it.

1946
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 10: And you know, really you're going to bank on a

1947
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 10: lot of internal development of your roster to try and

1948
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 10: I guess improve and it you know, obviously they stay healthier,

1949
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,679
Speaker 10: which is always a dangerous game to play in the NFL.

1950
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 10: But yeah, I think underwhelming is a fair word to you.

1951
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 2: Uh, do they still need to go out? Kevin?

1952
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: Can can Alec Pierce be a number one receiver? I

1953
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 1: know he has the ability to to play in different

1954
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 1: ways as a receiver, but is he the kind of

1955
01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:01,640
Speaker 1: receiver that more so bit fits from a Pittman that

1956
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,519
Speaker 1: draws a defense over towards the middle. Or is that

1957
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: maybe Tyler Warren's role. Do they need another piece?

1958
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:10,719
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1959
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 10: You know, well, first off, I don't think they're gonna

1960
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 10: go out and get some sort of number one white out.

1961
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 6: But you know, do they need another piece?

1962
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 10: You know, maybe, but I send a trust kind of

1963
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 10: change Psyching that passing offense to you know, manufacturer what

1964
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 10: Pittman's role was. You know, I don't want to diminish

1965
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 10: it too too much, but I think they'll be okay

1966
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:34,560
Speaker 10: there where I don't think you can manufacturers with the

1967
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 10: path rush.

1968
01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

1969
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 10: If you're going to kind of compare the two that

1970
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 10: we've talked about here and again, that's where I think

1971
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,599
Speaker 10: I've got some real questions and some real concern especially

1972
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:44,240
Speaker 10: because it's kind of been an annual thing and it's

1973
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 10: just such a critical.

1974
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 8: Piece, you know, two your roster.

1975
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 10: Profensively, even when they've had mediocre quarterback play for the

1976
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 10: most part, they've still been able to put up pretty

1977
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 10: good point totals Wishing.

1978
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 8: Psyching and company.

1979
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 6: But yeah, Tyler Warren I can will definitely.

1980
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 10: A presence with that, you know, obviously Josh Down, you

1981
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 10: know from just from a catch standpoint, and we'll see,

1982
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 10: you know, the signing of Nick Westbrook A Kine, could

1983
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 10: he provide a little bit of that. I've kind of

1984
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 10: thought of poor Man's Michael Pittman would be a way

1985
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 10: I would describe him, you know, and maybe draft.

1986
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 6: The wide out like round four something like that.

1987
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:17,680
Speaker 10: Not so that guy's going to come in here and

1988
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 10: obviously give you instant impact, but you know, could provide

1989
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 10: a little bit of dep with Ashton Dolan and Laquad Treadwell.

1990
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 6: So again, to me, if you're going to look at.

1991
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 10: It and say, okay, you know, wide out, past rush, linebacker, safety,

1992
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,200
Speaker 10: you know, how do you kind of rank those in

1993
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 10: terms of urgency? To me, it's definitely pastorsh certainly defensive end.

1994
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 2: Kevin.

1995
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 1: I've asked this over the course of the week, Kevin

1996
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: Bow and my guest Jaba House Colbrew Coffee guest line.

1997
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 1: He of course, you hear him on the Morning Show

1998
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,400
Speaker 1: along with James Boyd jeff Rickord each and every Monday

1999
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 1: through Friday from seven until ten. I've mentioned this to

2000
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: several that we've talked about with the Colts, Kevin bow

2001
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 1: I want to throw it to you. It's a two

2002
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 1: part question, the first being do you believe it's fair

2003
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:05,759
Speaker 1: to say that if there is not a trade suitor,

2004
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 1: that there is a high probability the Colts would release

2005
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson.

2006
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 10: I guess that's kind of my assumption. But I'm also

2007
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 10: a little bit as this plays out deeper into March,

2008
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:20,559
Speaker 10: I'm kind of like.

2009
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 8: Do you really need to do that?

2010
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 10: I guess if you think he's a distraction or his

2011
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 10: presence is a maybe you do. But like, you know, again,

2012
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:30,479
Speaker 10: this kind of gets back to what we were talking

2013
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 10: about a few minutes ago.

2014
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 6: I assumed when you made all these cap.

2015
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 10: Savings moves, trading Pittman, trading Franklin, the thought was trading Richardson.

2016
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 10: You know, I think you'd saved about five million there.

2017
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 2: My guess.

2018
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 10: My assumption was you were going to take the big

2019
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:48,080
Speaker 10: swing in the defensive front, and then that's why you needed,

2020
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 10: you know, all of that cap space. But again we

2021
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 10: sit here now about two weeks into free agency.

2022
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 6: They really haven't done that.

2023
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,680
Speaker 10: So you know, if Daniel Jones is going to be

2024
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 10: out whatever the back of his baseball car to say

2025
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,400
Speaker 10: he's going to miss some time this season, if he's

2026
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 10: going to be out a month, would you rather see

2027
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 10: Anthony Richardson or would you rather see Riley Leonard.

2028
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, I think the distraction part would

2029
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: be the only And you know what, Kevin, to be

2030
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:17,719
Speaker 1: fair that there is nothing too. There is no reason

2031
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:20,120
Speaker 1: to believe that Anthony Richardson himself is going to be

2032
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: some sort of a diva distraction. It maybe just becomes

2033
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:27,639
Speaker 1: a distraction based on the conversation and the speculation, right, Yeah,

2034
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: I think that's well said.

2035
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean this is not a player that is whatever.

2036
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 10: You know, having issues off the field or you know,

2037
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 10: maddling off on the media.

2038
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 6: No, I mean, it would all just be shooting around.

2039
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 10: You know, hey, this is the fourth overall pick, and

2040
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 10: you know right now you would say that his career

2041
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 10: is obviously not gone anywhere according to what you would

2042
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:48,960
Speaker 10: hope for, like that would be more of the distraction here.

2043
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 10: So again that's my opinion on it. I would assume

2044
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 10: he is not going to be a cult That is

2045
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:00,560
Speaker 10: kind of my my assumption. But you know, if I

2046
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 10: were calling the shots, I don't know, I might be

2047
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 10: a little bit more saying, well, now you really need

2048
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 10: a cap they what are you going to net?

2049
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 6: Even from a drafticks standpoint, you know it's.

2050
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:12,639
Speaker 10: Going to be late late day three, Then I don't

2051
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,719
Speaker 10: know the England zones is going to get hurt again whatever,

2052
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 10: one last shot with Anthony Richardson.

2053
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 2: And so be it well.

2054
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 1: And the reason I brought that up is because that's

2055
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 1: part two of the question, and that is, if if

2056
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,479
Speaker 1: you and I are sitting here having a discussion as

2057
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: to the possibility that Richardson could be released, then if

2058
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 1: you were a team that was thinking about acquiring him,

2059
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 1: and you and it's and he's not. I don't think

2060
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:42,760
Speaker 1: there's any team that sees Anthony Richardson as like that's

2061
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: going to be our starter this year or that's our

2062
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,600
Speaker 1: final piece. So if that's the case, then wouldn't you

2063
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be who of you if you were in

2064
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 1: certain name of NFL franchise to say, you know what,

2065
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: I were intrigued by this guy, but there's no sense

2066
01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: in giving up asset to acquire him because of the

2067
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 1: fact that we're going to assume that Indiana's good or

2068
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,120
Speaker 1: that Indianapolis is going to release him anyway. And so

2069
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 1: if he's a free agent and he's available, why would

2070
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: you make a trade? So it feels like the Colts

2071
01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 1: might be kind of backed into a corner there.

2072
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 10: Well, I think the only counter to that would be, Okay,

2073
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 10: let's say you do release them and whatever, five teams

2074
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 10: want to sign him now that he's on the open market,

2075
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 10: not going to cost a draft pick. If you're one

2076
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,400
Speaker 10: of those five teams, do you sit there and say, hey,

2077
01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 10: is it worth giving up a seventh round draft pick.

2078
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:29,639
Speaker 8: Not to play the bidding war than free agency?

2079
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 10: Again, not that there's going to be you know, I

2080
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 10: don't want to ask like this is an Alex here's.

2081
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 8: Bidding war by any means, but right again, you know.

2082
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:38,679
Speaker 10: Is it worth it the two hundred and ten picks

2083
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 10: in the draft to, you know, try and make a

2084
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 10: trade for the former fourth overall pick.

2085
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:46,200
Speaker 2: What's the weekend looking like for you?

2086
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:46,719
Speaker 10: Oh?

2087
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 3: How about that?

2088
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:48,760
Speaker 6: Tell me you saw that?

2089
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 3: Oh I saw that.

2090
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,759
Speaker 4: That was fantastic. Oh my goodness, Oh my gosh.

2091
01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 3: Wow.

2092
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 10: I was talking about the first shot.

2093
01:43:57,120 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 6: Now you've got the second shot.

2094
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm on a way, way way late delay here, but

2095
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about the end of Kentucky and

2096
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:09,720
Speaker 1: Santa Clara and Kentucky just hit about a thirty five

2097
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 1: foot of to force overtime. Santa Clara looked like they

2098
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 1: had won the game with a three with two and

2099
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:18,600
Speaker 1: a half seconds left. Kentucky came down, raced across the

2100
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,639
Speaker 1: half court stripe, pulled up and hit about a forty

2101
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: footer and it would appear as though Kentucky and Santa Clara,

2102
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: there is free basketball in Saint Louis.

2103
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:32,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm well behind you guys. Yeah, that was pretty.

2104
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:33,280
Speaker 6: Awesome, unbelievable.

2105
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, he got that off the The Kentucky kid got

2106
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 10: an oftent time.

2107
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 3: Wow.

2108
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 1: Wow, he was He was two steps beyond the mid

2109
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:46,679
Speaker 1: court stripe and he and he drilled it. He didn't

2110
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: even bang it in, drilled it.

2111
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:50,720
Speaker 6: That was no good.

2112
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, Oh no, he did bank it in.

2113
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:55,600
Speaker 2: He did bank it in.

2114
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:57,479
Speaker 1: I saw it from a different angle, but either way

2115
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:03,640
Speaker 1: that is that was basically I don't know, it's been

2116
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,400
Speaker 1: a long time, so we've seen. Let's put it this way,

2117
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 1: regardless of what if Kentucky wins his game, that makes

2118
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: it into one shining moment, right.

2119
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 10: Well, it's kind of reminiscent obviously, first round Versuscietal game.

2120
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 10: But you know, if you remember the Chris Jenkins shot

2121
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 10: for Villa Nova, it was it Marcus Page for North

2122
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 10: Carolina who hit three on the other.

2123
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:22,640
Speaker 3: End before that.

2124
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah wow.

2125
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:29,839
Speaker 10: And I don't think that was I don't know herb Sendendak,

2126
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 10: remember him, he's the he's the empty State coach.

2127
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 6: I don't think he was trying to foul. I think

2128
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 6: of that situation probably too chaotic.

2129
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: If you just live with it. Yeah, you're right. I

2130
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 1: mean you have the chance there. You don't think because

2131
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:44,600
Speaker 1: you're up three, if you found you put them on

2132
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 1: the line. They only get two, right, they didn't do

2133
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: so they let Kentucky get a three and Kentucky drills it.

2134
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: Now it comes down to which of these two, you know,

2135
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:56,680
Speaker 1: which is it due? Does that lift Kentucky now and

2136
01:45:56,760 --> 01:46:00,280
Speaker 1: it's and that's it? Or does does Santa Clara say, look,

2137
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 1: let's take advantage of the high that Kentucky's on, and

2138
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:04,599
Speaker 1: you know we'll see in the overtime here in Saint

2139
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Louis seventy three. All now, Santa Clara and Kentucky heading

2140
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: over time? All right, Kevin, So what is the big

2141
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 1: bowen weekend.

2142
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 10: Plan a lot of basketball, I think a lot of

01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 10: outdoors and this weather is glorious, so yeah, a lot of.

2144

Speaker 2: To it all right.

Speaker 1: Appreciate the time as always, Kevin, and enjoy the weekend

Speaker 1: and the weather as well.

2150
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 10: Have a great time at Prime forty seven.

2151
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 1: Definitely will appreciate it. Kevin Bowen joining us from the

2152
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: Fan Morning show. And again I think Brad from Prime

2153
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 1: forty seven is going to join us coming up in

2154
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 1: just about twenty minutes from now. And I just heard

2155
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 1: him say on the microphone, how about that for March Madness,

2156
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what that was.

2157
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,520
Speaker 2: That shot from Kentucky. That was pretty incredible.

2158
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:55,000
Speaker 1: It's been a ton of fun out here at Fast

2159
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: Break Friday at Prime forty seven on Pennsylvania. And I

2160
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier, but last year when I was here,

2161
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: the pacers were kind of just getting going. They were

2162
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,679
Speaker 1: kind of just getting everything in rhythm and rolling along.

2163
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 1: And right after I last year when I was here

2164
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,760
Speaker 1: for this same event Fast Break Friday, which is brought

2165
01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 1: to you by Tealing whiskey and Grey Goose vodka, and

2166
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, they got all the food here and drink

2167
01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 1: and the Papa Shot competition and it's awesome, silent auction.

2168
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 2: All of this is benefiting the Pacers Foundation.

2169
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 1: Last year, when I was out for it, I then

2170
01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 1: left immediately for an IndyCar weekend, came back to a

2171
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 1: Pacer game and saw Brad, who's kind of the Grand Pooba,

2172
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 1: if you will, a Prime forty seven, and I ran

2173
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: into him and I've seen him at every game since

2174
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 1: and realized he and Chris that works here. You know,

2175
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 1: their their loyalty to the Pacers, and even this year

2176
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:53,800
Speaker 1: when the team has not been obviously it goes without

2177
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 1: saying playing at that same level. They're at every game.

2178
01:47:57,040 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 1: They're there at every game supporting them and cheered him

2179
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,840
Speaker 1: on through thick and thin, and it's a great spot.

2180
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:06,280
Speaker 1: It's a great spot for pregame and postgame as well.

2181
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: Prime forty seven is and the Pacers news today is

2182
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 1: that the season is over for their big acquisition of

2183
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:17,760
Speaker 1: Evince the Zubats, who is now going to be out

2184
01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: for the year with a fractured rib that was sustained

2185
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:26,839
Speaker 1: against the Blazers on Wednesday, and so therefore the Pacers

2186
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 1: have determined that he will be out for the year.

2187
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:32,719
Speaker 1: Whether or not that means that this is an injury

2188
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 1: that would keep him out if it was the regular season,

2189
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is this a crafty way of continuing

2190
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:42,720
Speaker 1: where they are and trying to hold on to one

2191
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:45,799
Speaker 1: of those top four picks in the draft. That certainly

2192
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:49,320
Speaker 1: is something that is a possibility, And when you look

2193
01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 1: at it, it feels like it's a detriment, if you will,

2194
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 1: because this is a frontline player and one that you

2195
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 1: want to get acclimated to what Rick Carlisle wants and

2196
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 1: to the style that they play. But at the same time,

2197
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:11,599
Speaker 1: zubots he is such an important part of what they

2198
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:16,600
Speaker 1: would want to do with Tyrese Haliburton and you know,

2199
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: just to pick and rolls and the lob and whatever else.

2200
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 1: And if Halliburton's not out there, then he's basically getting

2201
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 1: kind of a watered down or just a through the

2202
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:30,519
Speaker 1: motions element of what it is that Indiana actually is

2203
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: going to be next year. So there's a I guess

2204
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 1: a good and a bad there of him losing out

2205
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: on being on the floor because yes, he needs reps, Yes,

2206
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 1: he needs to get out there and get acclimated to

2207
01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the roster.

2208
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 2: But that roster of who he's playing with and the

2209
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 2: style they're playing is not.

2210
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: Necessarily representative of what the Pacers are going to be

2211
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:55,240
Speaker 1: next year once zubots, once he does come back. But

2212
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:58,639
Speaker 1: that news earlier today, just before we came on. As

2213
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:01,479
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, look at this, Jamie just walked in.

2214
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 1: John is all right.

2215
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 2: Now.

2216
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,760
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. I wonder if jamb even saw

2217
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 1: that shot. For Kentucky, let's find out. We're gonna throw

2218
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:11,960
Speaker 1: him on real quick. He was here last year as well,

2219
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 1: and he's going to be downtown as well. Our celebration

2220
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 1: on this Friday continues because of the fact that John

2221
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 1: is going to be over at Clayton's Bar just a

2222
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:23,760
Speaker 1: couple of blocks from here. Right after this, Did you

2223
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:25,679
Speaker 1: happen to see what in a regulation?

2224
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:27,760
Speaker 3: That is some good stuff right there? That was a

2225
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 3: heck of a shot. Oh my goodness, Santa Clara have fouled.

2226
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 11: There was herb sendek asking for the foul. Could you

2227
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 11: tell he was saying something? It looked like he was

2228
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 11: asking for a time out, but he wasn't. So I

2229
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 11: couldn't tell if he was having them stay away from

2230
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 11: the play and the shooter or was asking them to foul.

2231
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that kid hits that shot. For those that

2232
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,120
Speaker 2: are just joining or didn't see it.

2233
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 1: Santa Clara hit a three that presumably won the game

2234
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 1: with two point four seconds left against Kentucky, and then

2235
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 1: Kentucky comes down and immediately uh upon crossing the halfport

2236
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:05,920
Speaker 1: line about of what would you say, John, a forty

2237
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 1: foot bank?

2238
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 3: That thing home to the shot before? It was awesome.

2239
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:12,599
Speaker 2: It was, I mean, it was pretty awesome.

2240
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 1: Would you pick in your bracket for the Santa Clara too? Yeah,

2241
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:18,360
Speaker 1: but that was definitely that that makes one shining moment.

2242
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:21,240
Speaker 1: Would you agree that? Oh yeah, there's no doubt. That's

2243
01:51:21,280 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 1: the first one shining moment moment of the tournament.

2244
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 11: Well, they had to keep the players from celebrating because

2245
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:30,040
Speaker 11: it was just tied. That was very pacer like, if

2246
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 11: you're celebrating tied, I'm gonna tell you what, Santa Clara

2247
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:36,679
Speaker 11: can shoot some threes.

2248
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then just said another one to go up too,

2249
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 2: And it's.

2250
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 11: Still like Kentucky's that great now And in the w

2251
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 11: c C that was competitive with Santa Clara and Barry's

2252
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 11: and Gonzaga.

2253
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 3: But man, the three pointer. Three is always going to

2254
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:51,360
Speaker 3: be better than two.

2255
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 11: And a team can have the most athleticism, can be

2256
01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 11: the most gifted, the most highly touted. But if you

2257
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 11: get a day when teams are consistently knocking down a

2258
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:01,679
Speaker 11: three h point like we saw at High Point yesterday,

2259
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 11: then most of these teams are going to be toad

2260
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 11: And that.

2261
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:07,680
Speaker 1: Makes you wonder about you know, Purdue with Queens, right,

2262
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Queens could do that.

2263
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:12,400
Speaker 2: Man, what an awesome time. Though you came down last

2264
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 2: year here Prime.

2265
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 1: Forty seven great for this, it's great, right, yeah, I mean,

2266
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,600
Speaker 1: and they do such a good job down here. And

2267
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:19,679
Speaker 1: then you're gonna be also you want to talk about,

2268
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, just a place that's happen. You're gonna be

2269
01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 1: at one of those later today, and that's also become

2270
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 1: And this is what I love it, because you know,

2271
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,879
Speaker 1: you love Indie as much as I do in downtown

2272
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 1: to have Prime forty seven right here before the game

2273
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 1: and then to have a place where people can go afterwards.

2274
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 2: And Clayton's has done He's done a remarkable job with

2275
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 2: that deal.

2276
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 11: Yes he has. And they need more of it. I know, Jake,

2277
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:41,960
Speaker 11: and I know you're probably privy to this too. We're

2278
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 11: always wondering what's going to go in with the buildings

2279
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 11: that have been vacant. That CVS down Illinois has been

2280
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:49,639
Speaker 11: vacant for a while. Now it's going to get something

2281
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 11: and that could Culver's I think, is going to go

2282
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:52,240
Speaker 11: in that CVS.

2283
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:53,720
Speaker 2: That's good, yeah, down there.

2284
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 3: So the more you.

2285
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 11: Get actual places in these empty buildings, the better off

2286
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 11: we're going to be. Because we did go through a

2287
01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:04,639
Speaker 11: not so great stretch, and as a matter of fact,

2288
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 11: I think we're still in the midst of that stretch.

2289
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:09,040
Speaker 11: But what you also see is not just downtown, but

2290
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 11: you see Fountain Square, you see mass ass As Irvington,

2291
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 11: and to a degree I forget is it Bates or

2292
01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:20,240
Speaker 11: whatever down here right next to the Greek Place, and

2293
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 11: I owe those with that new apartment building is where

2294
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:24,640
Speaker 11: they've got a bunch of retail stuff going in at

2295
01:53:24,640 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 11: the bottom of the apartment buildings, you know.

2296
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:29,919
Speaker 2: And that's more and more you wonder, like with just offices,

2297
01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:31,280
Speaker 2: how many of them are you know?

2298
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 1: Now everybody's doing work from home and so more people

2299
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:35,720
Speaker 1: hopefully you'll be living downtown and make up for it.

2300
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 3: But what did you think of Day one of the tournament?

2301
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 3: I thought day one was fun.

2302
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:42,200
Speaker 11: I thought it was really fun because we necessarily didn't

2303
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:45,479
Speaker 11: have to stay up late to watch everything, right, because

2304
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:49,480
Speaker 11: the final games were not as exciting High Point Wisconsin.

2305
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,479
Speaker 3: Obviously you had some really good stuff.

2306
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 2: How about Josh Shirts Ben letting the world know? They

2307
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:57,320
Speaker 2: should have let Indiana State in?

2308
01:53:57,640 --> 01:54:00,400
Speaker 11: About Kennon catching is letting the world know. But some

2309
01:54:00,640 --> 01:54:03,719
Speaker 11: nights you can't shoot. He was zero for like eleven

2310
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 11: or something to get from Brownsburg And yeah, that was

2311
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:09,680
Speaker 11: that was bad. You know what's interesting, Dusty May and

2312
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:12,320
Speaker 11: Josh Shirts are really close friends, are they?

2313
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2314
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:15,200
Speaker 11: And that's Michigan and Saint Louis and around number two.

2315
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:17,800
Speaker 11: And when I have Josh on the show, we joke

2316
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 11: all the time about calling him and pranking him with

2317
01:54:20,680 --> 01:54:21,640
Speaker 11: one another a little bit.

2318
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:23,360
Speaker 3: But they've they had a connection I.

2319
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:27,799
Speaker 11: Think from Florida Atlantic and they have been longtime friends,

2320
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 11: which is is kind of cool.

2321
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 3: Josh SHIRTZ nothing against Saint Louis.

2322
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 11: But this guy is is going to be one of

2323
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 11: these days, certainly at a much higher level his offense, Jake,

2324
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:43,360
Speaker 11: can you imagine getting to play in that offense.

2325
01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:44,640
Speaker 3: You're getting up and down the floor.

2326
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 2: Every said, who would want to go play in that offense?

2327
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:50,880
Speaker 11: Indiana State was fun as hell to watch? Who watched

2328
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:52,560
Speaker 11: Saint Louis. That's fun as hell to watch?

2329
01:54:53,320 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 3: Kids? Okay, for one year should be absolutely wanting.

2330
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:57,200
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

2331
01:54:57,440 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: Does because Michigan is it disadvantage here for Saint Louis.

2332
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 1: In the fact I mentioned this yesterday. That offense is

2333
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: it is so fast, right and so precise that teams

2334
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 1: that are not used to it. You know, you saw

2335
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 1: in the A ten towards the end of the year,

2336
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:16,440
Speaker 1: teams that had seen Saint Louis a little bit then

2337
01:55:16,480 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 1: they became more familiar with it, right, But teams like

2338
01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 1: Georgia that are unfamiliar with it.

2339
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 2: Your head's on a swivel.

2340
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:26,480
Speaker 1: Is that advantage Michigan because Dusty may is gonna know

2341
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:29,040
Speaker 1: and have better understanding as to what they need to do.

2342
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:31,080
Speaker 11: I think a lot of these teams have the advantage

2343
01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:33,960
Speaker 11: of seeing what transpired, whether it was High Point or

2344
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 11: Saint Louis, or even if Santa Clara were to pull

2345
01:55:36,680 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 11: this out, you know, getting to see the quick tape

2346
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:42,000
Speaker 11: in around number one and adjusting to that and Jake

2347
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:44,360
Speaker 11: to go further. I think that that helps you see

2348
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 11: teams that you're not going to play and how they

2349
01:55:46,600 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 11: play in day number one. That helps you get a

2350
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 11: message to the ones you're coaching, saying, hey, look what

2351
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 11: happened to X team yesterday. This is what we really

2352
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:57,480
Speaker 11: have to go out against it and maybe come out

2353
01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 11: a little bit more focused than you wouldn't. But no,

2354
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 11: I would agree with you on that, and I would

2355
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 11: agree that that is going to be one heck of

2356
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 11: a game coming up tomorrow afternoon between Saint Louis and Michigan.

2357
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 11: But yeah, Santa Clara, maybe maybe running out of guess.

2358
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:15,000
Speaker 11: Speaking of running out of gas, I asked Gedty Garrison

2359
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,840
Speaker 11: this in studio. Now, Aviza Zubos has done for the

2360
01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 11: season with a broken rib, correct, Now, there's no truth

2361
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:22,280
Speaker 11: of the rumor that was breathing hard from the style

2362
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 11: of plays doing that.

2363
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 3: No, it's not that he wasn't breathing.

2364
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, from getting used to having him move up down

2365
01:56:27,640 --> 01:56:28,320
Speaker 2: the floor a little bit.

2366
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:30,600
Speaker 3: Right, we're moving a lot too fast right now. My

2367
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:31,840
Speaker 3: ribs compromise and.

2368
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 1: He's coming from playing with James Hargen, so he's not

2369
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 1: used to having to look for the ball either.

2370
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:37,560
Speaker 11: Right, No, So I thought about doing this earlier because

2371
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 11: I'm going to head down the street and you guys

2372

2415
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:44,320
Speaker 1: But for this episode of a Franciscan health feel Good,

2416
01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:46,120
Speaker 1: Good for the Heart Friday, I want to talk about

2417
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 1: just high school athletics in general, and high school semi

2418
01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 1: state is upon us. Indiana is of course synonymous with

2419
01:58:53,880 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: the Indiana High School Basketball Tournament.

2420
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 2: But I think sometimes we get lost in the luster.

2421
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:01,360
Speaker 1: You know, you talk so much, and we hear so

2422
01:59:01,480 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: much about kids and rivals, recruiting rankings and players that

2423
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:09,200
Speaker 1: their parents from the young age are convinced that they're

2424
01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: this best freshman, this best sophomore in the country. And

2425
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 1: then you hear stories about kids that you look at

2426
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: it and you say, this is a level of refreshment.

2427
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 1: And there are several great kids and great players playing

2428
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:26,000
Speaker 1: high school basketball across the state of Indiana. But I

2429
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: think we saw a real glimpse of one of the

2430
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:32,360
Speaker 1: things that still brings us into high school sports and

2431
01:59:32,560 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 1: the innocence of it, the simplicity of it, and the

2432
01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 1: purity of it. Earlier today, when we had on the

2433
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:39,960
Speaker 1: kid that probably is going to wear the number one

2434
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 1: jersey for the Indiana Kentucky All Star series coming up

2435
01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:46,320
Speaker 1: this summer, and Luke Rdle of Mount Vernon. Here's a

2436
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:49,600
Speaker 1: guy with an older brother that grew up watching basketball

2437
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 1: that is a little undersized but plays well above his

2438
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:00,600
Speaker 1: size thirty four and eleven thirty four points eleven against

2439
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Pike in the regional finals in overtime to lift his

2440
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 1: team into the semi state. And we talked to him earlier.

2441
02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: And in an era where we're seeing more and more

2442
02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:14,640
Speaker 1: coaches understandably, so you know, leaving from high school basketball

2443
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 1: to get into coaching at the academies, and you hear

2444
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 1: more and more about players that you know, we just

2445
02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:23,640
Speaker 1: heard John mention Canon catching's really good player from Brownsburg

2446
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:26,040
Speaker 1: but leaving as a senior to go to a prep

2447
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:30,080
Speaker 1: school because it allows them more opportunity to get recruited collegiately.

2448
02:00:30,160 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 1: And I understand it, and nil and all of that.

2449
02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:34,560
Speaker 1: And then you get a kid like Luke Earle who

2450
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:37,880
Speaker 1: maybe was a little overlooked in the recruiting process now

2451
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:41,840
Speaker 1: has blossomed but is playing still for his high school,

2452
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:45,160
Speaker 1: staying at Mount Vernon High School and lifting them now

2453
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:48,680
Speaker 1: into the semi state and the chance to play in

2454
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:51,200
Speaker 1: the final four and the state finals for the first

2455
02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 1: time in school history.

2456
02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 2: We talked to him earlier, and I talked to Luke.

2457
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Earle just about the importance and the meaning for him

2458
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:02,320
Speaker 1: of putting on that jersey that says Mount Vernon as

2459
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:04,400
Speaker 1: opposed to an academy or elsewhere.

2460
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:07,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a blast, It's it's awesome.

2461
02:01:08,160 --> 02:01:11,120
Speaker 7: I think there's a good relationship between like, uh, you

2462
02:01:11,240 --> 02:01:13,480
Speaker 7: need to play you obviously, and I played with any

2463
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 7: e elite my whole life, and that was a great,

2464
02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 7: great opportunity to play against the best players.

2465
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:20,920
Speaker 6: In the nation on that circuit, you know, and and

2466
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:21,919
Speaker 6: get that experience.

2467
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,040
Speaker 7: But then come to high school, you're you're representing your

2468
02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:28,320
Speaker 7: community and and that's just been awesome. Like playing over

2469
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:30,720
Speaker 7: the years, I played Julius Gilsey, I knew Pow, we

2470
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:35,120
Speaker 7: played Braylen All growing up, Breydon Mollis, so you know,

2471
02:01:35,320 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 7: kind of those crosstown rivalries and playing great competition and

2472
02:01:39,160 --> 02:01:42,240
Speaker 7: and and having having those like friendship battles.

2473
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 6: It's kind of the best part of high school sports

2474
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:45,120
Speaker 6: to me.

2475
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:47,120
Speaker 10: Now.

2476
02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:50,640
Speaker 1: And I love that answer, just the high school battles

2477
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:52,840
Speaker 1: and the friendships that come with it. But at the

2478
02:01:52,880 --> 02:01:57,080
Speaker 1: same time, every player finds their own motivation, finds what

2479
02:01:57,240 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 1: it is that inspires them. And in the case of

2480
02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Luke Eardle, who next year will be playing for Purdue

2481
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and playing for Matt Painter and playing for Elliott Bloom

2482
02:02:06,520 --> 02:02:09,200
Speaker 1: who's the director of ops and from the same area

2483
02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 1: as Luke, that inspiration came from right there within the

2484
02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: home he grew up.

2485
02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 7: I think the main thing is having my older brother,

2486
02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:20,640
Speaker 7: Mike Hurtle, who now plays overseas and played had a

2487
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:25,040
Speaker 7: great college career, just growing up watching his games, kind

2488
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 7: of seeing that it's possible to play at a high

2489
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:30,480
Speaker 7: level in basketball. Like I mean, me and him are

2490
02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:33,240
Speaker 7: both six to two when I'm out, the most athletic

2491
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:34,840
Speaker 7: when I got to jump out the gym or anything.

2492
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:36,920
Speaker 6: So seeing him play at those very.

2493
02:02:36,840 --> 02:02:39,440
Speaker 7: High levels and seeing him go through it and how

2494
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:41,200
Speaker 7: much love you after the game, I just kind of

2495
02:02:41,280 --> 02:02:45,040
Speaker 7: naturally gravitated towards basketball and realized how much work you

2496
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:47,840
Speaker 7: have to put in every day to reach a high level.

2497
02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:50,240
Speaker 6: So, yeah, that's kind of my inspiration.

2498
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 7: And then you know, that's kind of who got me

2499
02:02:53,520 --> 02:02:57,520
Speaker 7: into basketball, and having a person like him to show

2500
02:02:57,560 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 7: me the ropes is awesome.

2501
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,040
Speaker 1: And that inspiration coming from his brother that he said

2502
02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:05,160
Speaker 1: played at a high level that included his brother playing

2503
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:09,280
Speaker 1: at Louisiana and UAB and now representing Mount Vernon overseas.

2504
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:11,280
Speaker 1: But for Luke and for all of the kids that

2505
02:03:11,320 --> 02:03:14,240
Speaker 1: are playing this weekend in the semi state and that

2506
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,200
Speaker 1: are doing it representing their school, their community and learning

2507
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 1: those values like he talked about with friendship and what

2508
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: sports are supposed to mean and.

2509
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:23,640

2545
02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:12,960
Speaker 1: right across from Gamebridge. Outstanding option for any time that

2546
02:05:13,040 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 1: you are dining downtown college basketball. We mentioned earlier Kentucky, Eddie,

2547
02:05:20,240 --> 02:05:22,440
Speaker 1: you guys were like fifteen seconds ahead of me because

2548
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 1: you and Kevin were like going crazy over that, and

2549
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you talking about? And then Kevin said, oh, man,

2550
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:28,920
Speaker 1: look at that shot, and then he goes and I

2551
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:31,040
Speaker 1: was talking about the first shot, and so then I knew.

2552
02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:33,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, obviously this guy's gonna hit this for Kentucky.

2553
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 1: I could have won a lot of money in this

2554
02:05:35,160 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 1: room because you guys are telling me my ear and

2555
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:39,600
Speaker 1: then boom, Yeah he hit that shot.

2556
02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:41,720
Speaker 2: But that was so far.

2557
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:44,680
Speaker 1: That is the defining moment of the one shining moment, right,

2558
02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing else jumps out right.

2559
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 5: Nothing yet unless you're if you got something from that

2560
02:05:50,480 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 5: High Point game last night or yesterday against Wisconsin, something

2561
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 5: from there. Maybe that layup for that guy's first two

2562
02:05:57,840 --> 02:06:01,240
Speaker 5: point basket, yeah of the season in the kield.

2563
02:06:02,120 --> 02:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that kid from High Point had hit nothing but

2564
02:06:04,280 --> 02:06:06,560
Speaker 1: threes the entire and it's not like he was This

2565
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:09,200
Speaker 1: isn't like the student manager who never had a basket, right,

2566
02:06:09,240 --> 02:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that's played his entire year,

2567
02:06:11,800 --> 02:06:13,680
Speaker 1: hit nothing but threes.

2568
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 2: And then boom, you know, he hits that to put

2569
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:18,840
Speaker 2: it away.

2570
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:24,160
Speaker 1: So unbelievable day yesterday, and it's been a great tournament

2571
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: so far.

2572
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:25,600
Speaker 2: The other scores.

2573
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:28,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I mentioned that Kentucky managed to go

2574
02:06:28,560 --> 02:06:30,240
Speaker 1: into overtime and then defeat Santa Clara.

2575
02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:34,400
Speaker 2: Arizona leading Long Island.

2576
02:06:34,880 --> 02:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Fifty three to twenty nine at the half, so I

2577
02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:39,760
Speaker 1: think you can probably say Arizona's going to move on.

2578
02:06:40,400 --> 02:06:43,680
Speaker 1: But you know what they say, man, you never know.

2579
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:45,880
Speaker 1: There have been plenty of games in the past. I mean,

2580
02:06:45,960 --> 02:06:48,960
Speaker 1: that seems pretty sure, but you just never know. I mean,

2581
02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:52,000
Speaker 1: people might have been already writing in Santa Clara when

2582
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:54,800
Speaker 1: they hit that three and Herb Syndek was trying to

2583
02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:56,720
Speaker 1: get a time out, trying to get a foul. One

2584
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:59,880
Speaker 1: would assume the other games taking place right now, Right

2585
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 1: State leading Virginia forty three to thirty eight.

2586
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:04,040
Speaker 2: Wright State.

2587
02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:09,760
Speaker 1: They were Wright State blitzed through that Horizon League tournament

2588
02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:12,920
Speaker 1: here at the coliseum, and in the semis, I think

2589
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:16,120
Speaker 1: they hit the century mark they can score and they're

2590
02:07:16,240 --> 02:07:20,080
Speaker 1: leading again. They are leading Virginia forty three to thirty eight.

2591
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:22,800
Speaker 1: And then did Texas Tech already win?

2592
02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:23,240
Speaker 3: Eddie?

2593
02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:24,120
Speaker 2: Is that game final?

2594
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:26,760
Speaker 4: That's a good question. Let me let me check and see.

2595
02:07:26,960 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 2: I think that's right.

2596
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:31,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a final that Texas Tech moved on.

2597
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:35,160
Speaker 1: But that was a closer game for a while than

2598
02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:36,080
Speaker 1: you would have guessed.

2599
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:39,720
Speaker 5: Quite lovely, just went final Jake ninety one seventy one

2600
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:43,160
Speaker 5: over the Zips and the bracket of one. Kevin Bowen

2601
02:07:43,240 --> 02:07:45,960
Speaker 5: is now busted because he had the Zips go into

2602
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:46,720
Speaker 5: the sweet sixteen.

2603
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:51,000
Speaker 2: Okay, And I told you I love the way Texas

2604
02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Tech is coached.

2605
02:07:52,240 --> 02:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Yes, that's not to say that Akron has coached poorly

2606
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:57,800
Speaker 1: because John Gross coaches in He's like the coaches coach.

2607
02:07:58,360 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 3: Coaches always talk about John Gross and how.

2608
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Good a coach he is.

2609
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Of course, he was at Illinois, now at Akron, and

2610
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:09,080
Speaker 1: he has taken the Zips to three straight NCAA tournaments,

2611
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:13,360
Speaker 1: and there is a lot of speculation that he could

2612
02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:16,840
Speaker 1: be the front runner for the Butler job. And I've

2613
02:08:16,920 --> 02:08:19,960
Speaker 1: heard that from numerous people that he I'm not saying

2614
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:23,720
Speaker 1: that that means he is the guy. But you know,

2615
02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:25,800
Speaker 1: you heard Tom Crean mentioned to us when we had

2616
02:08:25,880 --> 02:08:28,160
Speaker 1: Tom creen on that that he was under the impression

2617
02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:32,160
Speaker 1: that the way that that went down with Butler and

2618
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 1: the thad modern news of basically, hey, that money is

2619
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:38,800
Speaker 1: coming back, and then the announcement, Hey, that Mona is

2620
02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:42,720
Speaker 1: retiring that Tom Crean was saying that led me meaning

2621
02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Tom Crean, to believe that that they've already got something

2622
02:08:45,200 --> 02:08:47,360
Speaker 1: in place and they know what is happening. And if

2623
02:08:47,400 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: that's the case, John Gross's name has been linked to

2624
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:54,320
Speaker 1: that a lot, so too Ronald Norad. Obviously, that could

2625
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:57,520
Speaker 1: be a possibility for the former coach.

2626
02:08:58,800 --> 02:08:59,600
Speaker 4: Jake real Quick.

2627
02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:02,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if he would do it, but it

2628
02:09:02,400 --> 02:09:05,360
Speaker 5: would certainly extend his time as a head coach and

2629
02:09:05,520 --> 02:09:06,600
Speaker 5: his opportunity.

2630
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:10,840
Speaker 4: Could Micael Shrewsbury leave Notre Dame and go to.

2631
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 2: Butler, Yeah, that's that's a really good call.

2632
02:09:14,120 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: That's a really good call because now with Shrewsbury and

2633
02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:20,360
Speaker 1: I know that they had a really down year and

2634
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:23,360
Speaker 1: a disappointing year this year at Notre Dame, and perhaps

2635
02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:25,920
Speaker 1: that seat was warm, don't get me wrong, but he

2636
02:09:26,040 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: also had injuries. He had some key injuries there and

2637
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:30,040
Speaker 1: you wonder how much that But but then again, he

2638
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:31,640
Speaker 1: may just feel like it's time.

2639
02:09:31,520 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 2: For a change number one or number two. Home is home.

2640
02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Home is home, right, And so yeah, I think I

2641
02:09:38,080 --> 02:09:39,360
Speaker 1: think there would be a lot of people that would

2642
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:41,560
Speaker 1: be just fine with that. And when I say home

2643
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:42,880
Speaker 1: is home, by the way, I mean that he has

2644
02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:45,640
Speaker 1: been around that staff. I mean I realized that he

2645
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:49,520
Speaker 1: with the handover, but you know, familiarity with Butler. So

2646
02:09:49,840 --> 02:09:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, we should see what happens there. Over the

2647
02:09:53,480 --> 02:09:56,520
Speaker 1: course of the weekend, gonna be a ton of great basketball,

2648

02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:05,160
Speaker 1: That interview, by the way, with Luke Ardle, who is

02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:22,120

02:10:30,160 --> 02:10:33,320
Speaker 1: to be a winner today. And Virginia down to Wright state.

2661
02:10:33,440 --> 02:10:36,640

2662
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 1: college basketball say that.

2663
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 5: I know it's a pretty rauckous environment there at a

2664
02:10:41,880 --> 02:10:45,240
Speaker 5: prime forty seven Indie steakhouse, But I think I just

2665
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:50,200
Speaker 5: heard Marty screaming and cheering because Longwood's down thirty or

2666
02:10:50,280 --> 02:10:53,280
Speaker 5: not Longwood, Long Island is down thirty still seventeen minutes

2667
02:10:53,320 --> 02:10:54,240
Speaker 5: left in the second half.

2668
02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:56,080
Speaker 2: No, wait a minute, Wait a minute, I know that.

2669
02:10:56,680 --> 02:10:59,480
Speaker 5: I don't think Marty's been a bigger Arizona Wildcat fan

2670
02:10:59,720 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 5: than the next seventeen minutes.

2671
02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So what we're saying is that Joe right now

2672
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: who stands to win for biggest blowout recipient in the tournament?

2673
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Joe who had pen that was my Cinerella pick and

2674
02:11:14,080 --> 02:11:16,000
Speaker 1: pen gets meat by thirty five. Joe's sitting on that

2675
02:11:16,160 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 1: right now. There is competition there perhaps, and we don't know.

2676
02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, there was one year, Eddie where the biggest

2677
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:25,320
Speaker 1: blowout of the tournament happened in the final four.

2678
02:11:26,040 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 2: That actually has happened before as well.

2679
02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Villanova Oklahoma game was the biggest blowout in that year's tournament.

2680
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:35,800
