1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome into what Monday as March madness is. Well,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of it in the NCAA tournament.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: Is here. We have the field of sixty eight.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: Perdue plays themselves right up the ladder into a number

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: two seed. Looked tremendous against Michigan yesterday. And good morning,

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: James Boyd. It's high school basketball going to semi State.

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of fun over the next

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: week or so. And Kevin Bowen, I know you're in heaven.

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: You got March madness. You had great golf again yesterday,

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: you got Ia.

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: What do we say about the pacers? What is there

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: to say except it is that it is what it.

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: Is, right, Yeah, they look like the positioning themselves quite

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: quite well, at least for the best lottery odds there.

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: So I must say every time you hold it, and

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 3: there's just something about the cleanness of the bracket.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: All right, Kevin, I thought about.

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: You ain't having a fourth, but I would imagine this

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: is the feeling that it is like right here.

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: I thought about you. So I think it was a

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 4: TikTok on Instagram reel where the mother of like this

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: young kid, this young boy had put the bracket up

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: on the wall in their house, like in like the

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 4: dining room or whatever. So she had the big like

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 4: you know, basically like what you see when the teams

26
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: win in advance. They put the different things that she

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: had created.

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: One for her son Mom of the Year, right, that

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: is epic. Gosh, Mattie Bowen, can we please do that?

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: I don't know you might be out numbered on that one.

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: That's beautiful. Oh I love it. Well, there's something about

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: this bracket. It looks pretty darn clean. And uh get

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: Jeff to your point, I don't think on Friday we

34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: thought perduould be on the two line. I mean, what

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: a what a performance for a week. Not only do

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: you win the Big ten turning title, but I thought

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: they did it in some very important ways. Defense Fletcher

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: Lawyer stepping up Oscar cluff Frankly, I thought I should

39
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: have been most outstanding player with the turn on Mathos

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: will take demand to recount hate manning Dominique Rhodes Super

41
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: Bowl MVP from six, but history.

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: Can't say that he didn't win this.

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: Damn damn impressive by the boy. There's there up there

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: in Chicago. Now we'll go a day off and it'll

45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: be out to Saint Louis. They got Queens. Jeff, you

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: you probably are familiar with Queens, right right, little Charlotte action.

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Queens.

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: I've not seen this particular team play because I've been

49
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: here a lot, but they've been an improving basketball program.

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: They obviously earned their way into the NC DOUBLEA Tournament.

51
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Like anybody, they're kids that expect to win. I mean,

52
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: that's the kind of the thing when you get to

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: the NC DOUBLEA Tournament, whether you're a smaller school or

54
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: a big school or one of the power for schools,

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: you feel good about yourself. You've gotten there because you

56
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: win a lot of games, you win close games, you

57
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: just figure it out. And so everybody thinks they have

58
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: a chance to win. But if they lose to Queens,

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough.

60
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: Look. We got Queen's coach, Grant Leonard on tomorrow at nine.

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: I had no idea until this week, and the Queens

62
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: was in Charlotte, not in New York.

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: That's how I felt about Oakland University until a few years ago.

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: So you went to Detroit and there it was no

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 4: This actually happened for real. We had a kid that

66
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: I covered you played baseball for them. He committed to

67
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: play baseball for them. He's from the region. And I

68
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: was asking about the schools, all you getting ready for

69
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: the weather and all that. He's like, you didn't do

70
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 4: much research on this. So I have learned throughout the

71
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 4: years that to always google the university to make sure

72
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: it's where it's supposed to be or if it's not,

73
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: you know, so you don't ask any dumb questions.

74
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kevin Bona was giving us a

75
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: little easter egg there in his description of a.

76
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: Brand new clean bracket.

77
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: But in accordance with that, have you noticed that the

78
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: playoff beard has gone Yeah?

79
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: I almost screamed when I saw him.

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was really heinous. I apologize for what it

81
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: was getting to there. You could you could have hell

82
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: COVID might have started inside of that beard that I

83
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: was rocking there for the last couple of weeks there,

84
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: So apologies on that clean shaven I look as clean

85
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: as his bracket right now, Mark Dyke, And that Hamm

86
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: and Bear's shirt looks excellent on you.

87
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: Well, we got some like rap some snow in the forecast.

88
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 5: It's like I need to bundle up. I need something

89
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: nice and cozy. So I was like, what better than

90
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: this hamm and bear's sweatshirt keep me nice and toasty

91
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 5: this morning.

92
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: There you go. I'm just curious.

93
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Did the beard arise out of Look, you got a

94
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: little one at home, you're staying up late with and

95
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: making sure she can sleep. You got all kinds of

96
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: free agency news and signings and everything else with the

97
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Colts and keeping an eye on the NFL, and then

98
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: you're staying up late to watch college basketball. Then you

99
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: are force fed whatever this NBA Pacers nonsense is. Well,

100
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: I get it again. I get it, but it's like

101
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: it's like eating your vegetables. You know it's good for you,

102
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: but I don't want to eat it.

103
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't like.

104
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: Watching this thing in the fourth quarter where you're actually

105
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: playing a pretty good game against a pretty good team and.

106
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: We'll just sit everybody down in the fourth quarter.

107
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand it's what they're doing. They've

108
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: lost thirteen in a row. Why should I pay attention

109
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: anymore in the fourth quarter? Like, once I see that

110
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: they're not even playing their guys, why do.

111
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: We move on? I don't get it.

112
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I do get it, But I'm not spending

113
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot of my time watching the pacers.

114
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: The rest of you, I'll tell you that.

115
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: Did you want the real answer and why the beard grew?

116
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

117
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Well we moved buildings a few months ago, and

118
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: my razor is still in the duffel bag of the

119
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: locker room of the old building.

120
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: That I'm now locked out of. You don't have a

121
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: razor at home now.

122
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: And I'm too lazy to go buy one until this weekend.

123
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: Is that a real statement?

124
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: Yes, you stored stuff in the lockers down there?

125
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: A nice ms? Mark, I mean, did you want to

126
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: all thieves?

127
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: No, but I've been in that I've been in that

128
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: locker room.

129
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: Doll bag that I had.

130
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the state of that

131
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: locker room came through in Mark's expression of it right there.

132
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just shocked that someone actually stored stuff in there,

133
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 5: because I just.

134
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

135
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 4: About that look green here this morning.

136
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: I just don't know that I would want to put

137
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: a lot of my stuff in there. That's all because

138
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: it's I don't know, it's uh organic, let's put.

139
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: It that way, Mark, is that better word for it?

140
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: I would say just looks like an archived like days

141
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 5: of your locker room where it's like I don't know

142
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: if anyone's storing anything in there, because I just didn't

143
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 5: think anyone that was going in there was leaving stuff behind.

144
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: Wow, you here this morning?

145
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you go on the sauna? Are you using

146
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: a locker to lock your things? I'm gonna go it

147
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 3: makes no sense, no comment, just in case we have

148
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: some listeners from the old you know.

149
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: Well, No, I like the gym and everything like that.

150
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: The sauna very nice, but I've showered there before. It

151
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: has never stored anything I know anyone did. Never saw

152
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: any pad locks.

153
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 4: Wow, what a thief you are.

154
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine there are things in a couple of

155
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: those lockers that have been there for a long time.

156
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: Something a thief would say.

157
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: Things about as empty as Colts Free Agency. So far.

158
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a pretty quiet weekend on that front.

159
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: Hey, James, did anything happened? Friday at five? Was the

160
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: big flurry there? But what Mililey Cox was that it

161
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: once like the weekend officially started.

162
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to count him as a starter,

163
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 4: I guess well, yeah.

164
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I get some bials come in to town. What

165
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 5: are you talking about, right, I guess that is the highlight.

166
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, as you said here on this Monday morning,

167
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: it is once again very very quiet on the Colts fronts. Yeah,

168
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: I'm scratching my head continually greeted. I think around the

169
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: NFL it was pretty quiet. But now I tend to

170
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: think that's how it's gonna be. Like we're into the

171
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: second wave, and you know, outside of a deal or

172
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: two here or there, I don't think you're gonna get

173
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: a whole lot of action by any meats. And I

174
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: would say that around the league, not just with the Colts.

175
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Anybody paid attention to the World Baseball Classic last night

176
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: with the United States whatever, the Dominican Republic.

177
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: I love just first off, the crowd, I mean it

178
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: was it was pretty darn pro Dominican hearing some of

179
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: those cheers throughout the early parts of that game. I

180
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: thought it was some great theater, great energy, and I

181
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: thought the US got a very favorable I was about

182
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: to say, whistle shows you have watched a lot of basketball,

183
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: A couple of favor favor favorable ball strike calls there

184
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: down the stretch, especially that last one, the last one,

185
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: the one in the eighth was it Soto. I'm trying

186
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: to think it was at bat there that one as well,

187
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: but surviving advance. Great work by the bullpen to one there,

188
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: and now they will await Venezuela in Italy coming up.

189
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: Title game is Tuesday at eight.

190
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeap in Venezuela, Italy tonight and then the winner of

191
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: that takes on the United States, as Kevin said to

192
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: my Night at eight, So we look forward to that.

193
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: I just found myself, I guess as most would at

194
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: this point in time in our field, just watching a

195
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: lot of college basketball this past weekend.

196
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were some great performances over the weekend for sure.

197
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: Shout out to Purdue and Braden Smith number forty one.

198
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: That jersey is unique. Now, I guess in Purdue lore

199
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: after you rip his jersey in the first half there,

200
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: and then looking at what the guard at Arkansas is doing.

201
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: Darius Acuf junior, boy, is he not a top five pick?

202
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: I mean that kid puts up. It seems like every

203
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: big game he just comes to play another thirty points

204
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 4: in ten plus assists for him to lead Arkansas to

205
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: an SEC title. So we're definitely in March.

206
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: We are absolutely in March, and I'm just you know,

207
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: we've talked about this being a really deep draft class

208
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: and the Pacers, of course, trying to desperately hold on

209
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: to a top four pick.

210
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: At this point in time. There might be six or seven.

211
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: Really good players coming out of here, and the way

212
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: things work change, you never know, maybe that six or

213
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: seventh is the guy that, for whatever reason, it translates

214
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: to the next level and you go, Okay, here we go.

215
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: I mean, that happens quite a bit.

216
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: You'll see somebody that wasn't given all the love in

217
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: that top two or three, and maybe they're picked seventh, eighth, ninth, whatever,

218
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: and they're the ones that ended up having this long,

219
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: distinguished NBA career.

220
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: That does happen, Yeah, but.

221
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: That would not help the Pacers. So for your sake,

222
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: you hope that you get one of the top four,

223
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 4: and you hope that one of those top four hit

224
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: five through nine. Boy, that'd be quite the gup punch.

225
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: You guys have a favorite part of the bracket to

226
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: look at the gander at here on this Monday morning.

227
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: Not necessarily give me your take on it. Where do

228
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: your eyes go first? KB, Well, my eyes are drawn

229
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 4: to that East region.

230
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: If I'm looking right here, and that would be top left,

231
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: Duke the number one overall seed. Actually thought that would

232
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 3: have been the best one for Predue to draw. I

233
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: don't you know if I can nitpick produce draw a

234
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: little bit here and again I am but like Elite

235
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: eight Arizona out west, Yes, I feel like there were

236
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: some other one seeds you probably would have preferred to see.

237
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: But nonetheless, I understand that's a big time nitpick there.

238
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: But look at the coaches in that region. Rick Pattino,

239
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: Bill Self, Dan Hurley, tom Izzo. He got some basketball

240
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: coaches in one region there that is not including the

241
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: one seed, which is again John Shire and Duke not

242
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: bad there.

243
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a run to get there. Yukon't held

244
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: onto their number two seed. Despite that, they get worked

245
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: by Saint John's. Did you check any of that game out?

246
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

247
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: I did see that, And again Saint John's what he's

248
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: done at that program to make them relevant?

249
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: Again?

250
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: Is it remarkable?

251
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: So was Indiana NFLA would have beat Northwestern?

252
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: Maybe, I don't know.

253
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: I still think that the winner of that last game

254
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: between Ohio State and Indiana was probably more important.

255
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah, certainly on on that for the Ohio

256
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: State climbed way up to an eight seed there. Yeah,

257
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: Indiana fourth out for those that were not watching the

258
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: selection show, the fourth team. Ow we end up having,

259
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: you know, a couple of bid steals my Hio of

260
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: course in the playing game. So they go to Dayton

261
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: here coming up on Wednesday, Saint Louis losing to dateon

262
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: that was a crazy game on Saturday, Daton in Saint

263
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: Louis the end of that game. So yeah, I had

264
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: a couple of those bid stealings there. But for anyone

265
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: that cares, which is probably very little, Indiana say no

266
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: to the Nit the Crown some of these other postseason

267
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: tournaments that in the Crowns cases popped up here, I

268
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 3: think mostly for nil.

269
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk about all of it all morning long.

270
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: We've got a busy Monday the regular guests, so I'll

271
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: be joining us as well.

272
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: Talk a little Purdue at the end of the day.

273
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Did I see Rob Blackman's going to join us little

274
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: bit later on today or is that that a different

275
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: list that I was looking at.

276
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: Kevin, that's the plan, he told me.

277
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 5: He was also dragging Assiz in a long weekend, so why.

278
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: You can call me.

279
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 5: I'll try to answer, but if I'm sleeping, don't take offense.

280
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: That's why I was double checking.

281
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: I thought, man, good job out of you, and then man,

282
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: good job out of Rob if he is able to

283
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: overcome a lot of traveling and getting up. So we've

284
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: got that still ahead right here in ninety three five

285
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: one oh seven five College basketball March Madness is officially here.

286
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: The NCAA Tournament starts this week. It culminates with the

287
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: Final four the first weekend of April right here at Indianapolis.

288
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: Over at Lucas Oil Stadium yesterday, Perdue climbing up to

289
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: a two seed as they run the table as the

290
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: seventh seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Kevin Bowen, a

291
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: seventh seed has never won the Big Big Ten Tournament before.

292
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: Quite impressive, to say the least, you know, I thought, honestly,

293
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: their best game of the tournament was saved for the

294
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: fourth game in four days yesterday. There is outstanding. Obviously,

295
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: the quarterbacking of Brandon Smith is well well documented. I

296
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: thought they're bigs. I just thought Kloff and Kaufman Wren

297
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: finished through that Michigan size so much better than they

298
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: did in the first matchup in Fletcher Laurer shot a

299
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: great all tournament long and you know again, I'll probably

300
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: harp on this a lot today. I think, how Purdue

301
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: just won the Big Ten Tournament. Yes, winning it is

302
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 3: a great, great feat, but how they won it? They

303
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: won it with their question marks, They won it with defense.

304
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: They won it with Lawyer and Kloff, two guys that

305
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: at times this season people of whatever you know, feel like, yeah,

306
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: there's been some consistency's And honestly they won it without

307
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 3: Braden Smith like going off off. Obviously he was terrific

308
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: as an assist guy, but didn't shoot it great. So

309
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: that to me, I think stands out even more.

310
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 4: How would you gray the jersey rip?

311
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: Oh? I loved it. I loved it. Now forty one

312
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: Mark Dychton, craign if I'm wrong here. My kids have

313
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: told me that forty one is the new six seven.

314
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: I have not heard that forty one.

315
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: Your kids are cooler than mine, I guess goes like

316
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: this and does forty one like every other day. And

317
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 3: as soon as I saw Braden Smith of the forty one,

318
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: I thought, just let me get hit by a semi Now,

319
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: why do think that that hasn't made it happen.

320
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: Well, I said something similar to the other day, and

321
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: James is like, hey, hey, don't do.

322
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: That, bro, just warning you on that, Mark Dyketon when

323
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: when eventually gets to the West side, but'ntally prepare Brinsma's

324
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: got to rock that all tournament now, right, Yeah.

325
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: I think he does go forty one from Yeah, they.

326
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 3: Can put number three in the rafters because thats where

327
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: it's probably gonna go one day and now just put

328
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: forty one on the Loo Kobe Action two numbers and

329
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: then in the tournament.

330
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, they beat Michigan in eighty seventy two to

331
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: win the title. Braden Smith Tournament mvpiece at an all

332
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: time record for most assists in a tournament and also

333
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: has moved within just two assists of passing Bobby Hurley

334
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: for the all time NCUBA Mark Matt Painter, he was impressed.

335
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: He's worked very hard to be there, as has everybody else.

336
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: That two man game in the second half when they

337
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: really started to take control between he and Trey Kaufman Wren,

338
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: that was art. They just kept going two man to

339
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Michigan to death during that stretch.

340
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought they really took advantage of Michigan, and honestly,

341
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: with the way Michigan has defended all year, that was

342
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: pretty impressive, especially considering you going to shoot all that

343
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: great from the outside. So I think Produce showed some

344
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: backbone that we weren't all sure was there a week ago.

345
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: So quite turn around heading into obviously your biggest part

346
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: of the season.

347
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: West Region is where they are headed in Saint Louis.

348
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: They will take on Queens of Charlotte Friday at seven

349
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: point thirty five.

350
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: Again, that'll be in Saint Louis.

351
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: Your overall number one seeds, Duke Arizona, those guys were

352
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: number one seeds and then I didn't think it was

353
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: a lot of drama, right Florida and Michigan the other

354
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: two number one seeds.

355
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: No, I mean, honestly, Brackett as a whole, I mean,

356
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: I don't really know any debate that people had. I

357
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: think relatively quiet, which is kind of shocking. Usually you

358
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: know somebody's bitching and moaning about something there. But you know,

359
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: obviously a weak bubble. Again, you had a couple of

360
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: big steals. Maya of Ohio. They are a seven and

361
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: a half point underdog against SMU. They will be in

362
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: the playing game coming up that is Wednesday. That'll be

363
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: the second game of the playing game. They have SMU

364
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: SO in C State, Texas and one play in SMU Miami.

365
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: And if you're gonna play it out by seed for Purdue,

366
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: you're looking at Queens Miami, Gonzaga, Arizona to get to Indy.

367
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Now again that's San Jose is the region, so Gonzaga

368
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: and Arizona would be out there. I will note the

369
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: sixth seed is AJ debants and BYU, So that is

370
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: kind of intriguing to me obviously on multiple levels here.

371
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: If you know, the basers are looking at their draft.

372
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: But if AJ Debantsa can do what he did in

373
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: the Big twelve tournament there and they all of a

374
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: sudden beat Gonzaga in round two and Purdue is able

375
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: to come out of the Saint Louis region, if you will,

376
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: you could be looking at Purdue against AJ Debantsa for

377
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: a trip to go to the Elite eight.

378
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that BYU can Zaga game in the second round.

379
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: If they both win their first game, that that could

380
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: be a must watch game too.

381
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: That'd be a lot of fun.

382
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: So that's what's happening there as far as the women

383
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: the number one seeds Yukon, South Carolina, Ucla and Texas.

384
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: James helped me out if there's.

385
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: Any local kids that are really making strides for the

386
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: women's game, but devoid of a lot of local flavor.

387
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: There for the women's tournament right now, come on.

388
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: Now, come on now, I'll let Kevin come on in there.

389
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 3: We'll set up US thirty one.

390
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: Give it up the Irish.

391
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: A lot of slander from Jeff Record when Notre Dame

392
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 3: starts to do well here the old I left it

393
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: for you to tell the women's tournament here round one

394
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: they win, they'll get Ohio State, Anna hid Aldo trying

395
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: to take the Irish on a little bit of a run.

396
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: Here is Hannah Dogo the best player I know.

397
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: Everybody gets a lot of love, especially for Yukon and

398
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: some of the other folks, but she's got to be,

399
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: if not one of.

400
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: The top two players in the in the nation. Right

401
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: I think she's thought I would.

402
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: Think so, almost broke my rule and said nice things

403
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame there, James, I gotta watch myself now,

404
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: get ahead of myself.

405
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes, hey, Hannah will do that she's that good.

406
00:17:59,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: All right?

407
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: High school basketball a terrific weekend. Did you were you

408
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: able to attend any of the games this weekend?

409
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: I was like asking if I'm like waking up here

410
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: with some melanie in the skin. Of course, it was

411
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 4: an amazing weekend at Southport. I enjoyed myself two great games.

412
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 4: The first one Luke Artle and Mount Vernon beats Pike

413
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: in their loaded team with a bunch of Division one talent,

414
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: and he scored thirty four points I believe, eight points

415
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: in overtime lift his team into the semi state for

416
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: the second straight year. And then in the second game,

417
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: you had Decatur Central knockoff Laurence Central. They won their

418
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 4: first regional title in school history. And one last thing,

419
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: shout out to my guy Jack. I believe he's in

420
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 4: the Lawrence Central school system. I'm sitting againt on Mexican

421
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: restaurant called Red Tacos near Southport in between games, and

422
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: this kid walks up to me has the biggest Laurence

423
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: Central Jersey on I've ever seen, and he says, are

424
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: you James Boyd.

425
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: I'm like yes.

426
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: He's like, let's see you every morning on the way

427
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 4: to school. So shout out to.

428
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: Jack Man Nice, Hello Jack, congratulations by the way, Cathedral

429
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: knocking off rebuff jesuit with a last second bucket sixty

430
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: nine and sixty seven.

431
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a terrific game.

432
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Keaton Aldridge that play, I don't know where it

433
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: was really going there, but he flipped one up there

434
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: and they were able to beat the buff and really

435
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 3: had a big lead there early stretches of that game.

436
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: And shout out to John Ashworth speaking of to CATOR Central.

437
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: Always enjoy his insights. I saw that he had this

438
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: note that Kyle then RiPP tweeted, we have no Mick

439
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: school or no Hoosier Crossroads Conference school left in the tournament.

440
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: It's pretty wild. I mean we're down to eight. Remember

441
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: in the semi state round, we're gonna play two games

442
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: coming up on Saturday. Here, no Mick, no hoo's your conference?

443
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: Like if you look at the four A and even

444
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: a little bit of the three A, but certainly the

445
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: four A, it's a lot of schools I don't think

446
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: we're really used to seeing get to this point in

447
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: the tournament there, so a little bit of a I

448
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: don't know if Cinderella Flair is the right way to

449
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: put it, but certainly schools that you know haven't been

450
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: there in a while.

451
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll document some of those games coming up this weekend.

452
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: A little bit later on in the show Indy Car. Yesterday,

453
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: they were in Arlington Grand Prix of Arle Then Kyle

454
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: Kirkwood overcame a pair of tough pit stops and passed

455
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: Alex below in the final lapse.

456
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: To get the win. They will go to Alabama at.

457
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: Barbara Motorsports Park on March twenty ninth for the next

458
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: rates and for the Indianapolis Colts. After that Friday announcement

459
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: of resigning Molei Cox, it was.

460
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 4: Not a lot of movement. I would say they did

461
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 4: sign a couple of safeties. Jonathan Owens, who is famously

462
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: the husband of some own biles, comes over from the Bears,

463
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: more of a special teams guy, and then jan Ye

464
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: Thomas comes over from I believe the Dallas Cowboys. He

465
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: I think actually more potential to possibly start at the

466
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: other safety spot now. Then they Cross is gone but

467
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: only played seven games last year due to migraines. Checked

468
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 4: into that a little bit. The Colts feel pretty good

469
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 4: about where his health is now, but something to keep

470
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: in mind, all right.

471
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Also, World Baseball Classic last night, the United States got

472
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: out to a two to one lead in the early innings.

473
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: That's how it ended, two to one over the Dominican Republic,

474
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: although the dr did put guys on base a couple

475
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: of times and make it interesting. They will now play

476
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the winner of Italy Venezuela, which takes place tonight, and

477

480
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: hind win.

481
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be honest, I was not watching. I was

482
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: locked into selection Sunday and certainly was watching Purdue and Michigan.

483
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, Cameron Young getting it done there in the

484
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: players Championship there sounded like a lot of carnage, a

485
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: lud to Big Obert and even Matt Fitzpatrick a little

486
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: bit there. So we inch closer to the masters there.

487
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: So shout out to Cameron Young.

488
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: All right.

489
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: Also one last note too, The women's team USA continues

490
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: there run through the World Cup qualifier in Puerto Rico.

491
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: Really haven't been challenged at all at this point in time.

492
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: Remember they've already qualified before they even got there, but

493
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: they are going through the motions.

494
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: They win one o one to forty six.

495
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark started for the first time in this tournament

496
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: last night fourteen points and six assists.

497
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: She looks pretty healthy and ready to play basketball.

498
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 4: James be excited to see her get back in action.

499
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 4: And man, just don't forget who the needle mover is.

500
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: She looks healthy. But I'm a little nervous if this

501
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: league is going to start on time.

502
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 4: Maybe not on time, but they will have a season,

503
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 4: I can tell you that for sure.

504
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: All right.

505
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: Coming up in a moment, we'll talk a little bit

506
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: more about Purdue making it all the way to the

507
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: two seed line after running through the Big Ten tournament,

508
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: and more on the Colts and what they did do.

509
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: And we'll get to Kevin and James to expand a

510
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: little bit more about the signings that they did make

511
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: over the past few days. That's coming up next. It's

512
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five. Hope y'all

513

Speaker 1: happy birthday, eighteenth.

515
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: Birthday to my oldest son Jake.

516
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: As I mentioned last week, he was born on Selection Sunday,

517
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: and even though he's not a big, huge college basketball fan,

518
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: he's like, dad, let's watch the selection show for a

519
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: few minutes. He made it through about the first region

520
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: or so, and then he had to go play some

521
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: games and stuff.

522
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 4: But we were good.

523
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, but.

524
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,200

Speaker 3: with my brother. So happy birthday to a great, great

528
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: human and Notre Dame basketball will get back to where

529
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: they belong.

530
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: There we go.

531
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: You didn't sound you. You don't have any conviction in that, man.

532
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: It was yeah, pretty weak right there. Not Dame basketball

533
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: get back to where they belong.

534
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: Come on, there we go, Micah.

535
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: And when Micah Shrewsbury next walks without that little go kart,

536
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: that little scooter, they will be a top twenty team.

537
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 2: Kevin, let's go.

538
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: I thought the scooter was gonna Ron Hunter magic it

539
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 3: a little bit. Now, that's one of my favorite March memories.

540
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: R J Hunter hitting the three Ron falling off.

541
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: Isn't RJ like a high school basketball alum again in Indiana?

542
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Pike, get you know, help back up to

543
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: the U the scooter there just an epic, epic moment.

544
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: Uh so Purdue.

545
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

546
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: It almost felt like they were getting better and better

547
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: with every game.

548
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: Did they get their juju back? Their swag? Did they

549
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: get it back this past week?

550
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 4: Juju shimmer reference for Chris ballad there for their sake,

551
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 4: let's hope that doesn't train in the direction that his

552
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 4: tenure has happened. But yes, they did look I think

553
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 4: like the best version of themselves all year. And the

554
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: most impressive part was I think defensively what they were

555
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: able to do to Michigan, because we've talked about it

556
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: all year where their defenses hasn't been up to par,

557
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: But that to me is what you can win with.

558
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 4: And Brighton talked about that after the game, where it's like, look, man,

559
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: even if I haven't shut the ball very well, we

560
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 4: got to find other ways to just get a win.

561
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: And what I love about this part of the year

562
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 4: is that the style points don't matter anymore. Just get

563
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: it done. Yeah.

564
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: I think it was kind of further that defensive point there.

565
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: You couldn't go back to really the Nebraska game on Friday,

566
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 3: I want to say Nebraska, I believe it was their

567
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: third lowest point total all season long UCLA. I think

568
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: it was their fifth lowest. And then Michigan. As weird

569
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: as it sounds, the Michigan scores like none other. That

570
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: was their sixth lowest. So I mean, you're talking about

571
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: teams that have played what thirty some games at this

572
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 3: point in the season, and Purdue is holding them to

573
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: what third, fifth, and sixth lowest. I mean at times

574
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 3: are in the regular season. These teams are having program

575
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: records set against Purdue when they when they played them.

576
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think again to reiterate that point, it's

577
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: just how they won the tournament.

578
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 7: You know.

579
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 3: Fletcher Lawyer I thought was really good throughout the entire

580
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: stretch there, and I thought Kluff was tremendous. I thought

581
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: they should have gone at the very least CO most

582
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: outstanding players between. I get when Brad Smith sets the

583
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: tournament record for assists, it's probably hard not to give

584
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 3: it to them, But I felt little Peyton Manning super

585
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: bully to me, but I thought Oscar Cluff deserved it.

586
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: Should have just gave it to Cluff. I don't believe

587
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 4: in CO anything. I'm still mad that Peyton Manning has

588
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 4: a co MVP.

589
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: People were comparing my beard to Cluff Spirit, So unfortunately

590
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't have the dual left hand that

591
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 3: Oscar Cluff. Hass you still go to this left.

592
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 2: How long does it take when you when the beard

593
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: has become a beard like you had?

594
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: How long does that take to get rid of it?

595
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: It was a process on Saturday to get to get

596
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: rid of it. I actually did it during the Purdue

597
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 3: uc LE game. I had Rosie give me score updates

598
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: while I was shaving. That's the appropriate use of a

599
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: youngster right there.

600
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: I don't know. We gotta check out with these child

601
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: labor laws.

602
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking to Isaac Trotter from SIBIA Sports.

603
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: He's a basketball analyst. Coming up top of the hour.

604
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: He says that Arizona has the easiest path to the

605
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: Final four by saying they do not have one team

606
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: in its region that is outstanding on.

607
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Both sides of the floor.

608
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: And what he says about Purdue, He says number two

609
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: seed Perdue is the number one offense in the country.

610
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: But while the defense has shown a bit more grit,

611
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: there are still real holes here. Arizona's positional size and

612
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: athleticism will be extremely obvious if this matchup presents itself

613
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: down the line.

614
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 4: Look at Kevin, he's already analyzing. He's looking at what

615
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 4: Isaac is saying and looking at the bracket again.

616
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we talked Friday, right, didn't We asked

617
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: the question of what one seed would you boast want

618
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 3: to play if you were Purdue, Because I think all

619
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 3: these one seeds have really been up there for the

620
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. We've kind of known this is

621
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: gonna be the group. Jeff, I think you and I

622
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 3: are on the duke thought there just a little banged

623
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: up again, a lot of guys that haven't necessarily been

624
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: there before. Yeah, I mean Arizona would worry me, but

625
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: there is part of me it's like, hey, at that point,

626
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: you're forty minutes away from coming to Indianapolis and you

627
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: know that.

628
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: You got to face somebody.

629
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I mean, welcome to the NCATE tournament. And

630
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: you know again, you know, crazy things happen in this

631
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: tournament there. So I don't know, if you look at

632
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: the if you look at the top part of that,

633
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: Arkansas Wisconsin are the four and the five in Purduce

634
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: Region like, I think that is a great second round

635
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: matchup if indeed it happens. Wisconsin Arkansas. I mean James

636
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 3: brought up Darius A. Cuff earlier. I mean Wisconsin with

637
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: Nick Boyd and John Blackwell and what they have from

638
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: a big guys standpoint, I mean, Wisconsin easily could have

639
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: been in the Big Ten title game on Sunday. I mean,

640
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: that was a great finish with the Axl hitting the

641
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 3: three there to send Michigan to the to the title game.

642
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, again, it's probably a good problem to have.

643
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: We weren't necessarily discussing this. I think a lot of

644
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: you know, people affiliated with Purdue, you know, the debate

645
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: more would have been like are you going to get

646
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: to the second weekend? And now it's like, all right,

647
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: you know, did they did they get the best one seed?

648
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 3: You know, obviously traveling out west is an ideal, but

649
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 3: we'll see they can get it done.

650
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 7: Well.

651
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: They start fairly close to home at Saint Louis, so

652
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: I'd imagine there'll be a pretty big crowd of Boilermaker

653
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: fans there when they get going Friday night at seven

654
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: thirty five. Uh So that's what's going on as far

655
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: as as their draw is concerned.

656
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: But you mentioned Duke just a moment ago talk about

657
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: reloading and getting it done.

658
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: They lost, they lost their starting five last year to

659
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: the NBA. They're the number one overall seed James despite

660
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: the fact that they went through the ACC tournament without

661
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: two of their starting five this year and they still

662
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: won the tournament.

663
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: That's a really good basketball.

664
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Duke being being good is not a surprise to anyone.

665
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 4: But the Boozer twins I think are really playing well.

666
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: And actually was the other Boozer that played well, I

667
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: believe in the a SEC Championship, Cayden Boozer. So because

668
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 4: Cam shot like three for seventeen from the field, which

669
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 4: I thought was almost impossible for a guy shoots usually

670
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 4: around the basket. But even in his bag game, he

671
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: saw like eight assists and eight rebounds. So it speaks

672
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: to the level of that program and the level of

673
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: the players they have.

674
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you go back to Purdue and they're run

675
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: through the Big Ten, and you know, they got out

676
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: to that almost double digit lead, eight, ten, twelve points

677
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: at times, especially early in the second half, and I

678
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: think Michigan cut it to within five at one point

679
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: in time.

680
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, just take it off top of

681
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: my head. And then Purdue just bounced right back.

682
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: And at no point in the final three minutes did

683
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: I feel like Michigan was going to overcome.

684
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: I think the stat was Purdue led, you know, one

685
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty minutes they played across those four games.

686
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,239
Speaker 3: Of course, I think they led for one hundred and

687
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: fifty two. I mean, it's damn impressive what they just

688
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: did there to obviously cut down the nets. So hell

689
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 3: of an accomplishment for that crew. And now you have

690
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: the chance to write the final chapter and what is

691
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 3: already an unbelievable story here in our state's very rich

692
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: basketball history.

693
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: So I know you thought about that on social media,

694
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: Kevin and kind of putting it out there like all

695
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: in totality, I was like, man, they have done a

696
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: lot of winning.

697
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, it's when you think about it, they've

698
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 3: won two Big Ten ragular season titles, which even Matt

699
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: Painter said after the game, that's the real thing. You know,

700
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: he did mention it. He goes, Michigan is the Big

701
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: Ten champion, but we are the Big Ten tournament champion.

702
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: So ah, semantics, you know, Painter always points out, out

703
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: of twenty games means more than just three or four.

704
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: But you've won two Big Ten regular season titles, he

705
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: won two Big Ten tournament titles. They've won seven NCAA

706
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: tournament games, and now we'll see what they can do.

707
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's absolutely incredible what that senior class

708
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: has done. And you know, can you imagine if they

709
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: get all the way here and Mark, I know today

710
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: we'll play it. But bringing Smith, that's some audio you're

711
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: kind of describing the elephant in the room of like

712
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: we know what's the last thing that we need to check,

713
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 3: and he is not run from that when asked about it.

714
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 3: I think it's a good thing. He is now going

715
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: to get this assist record Friday night. Like I don't

716
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 3: know if it's affecting his play from a shooting standpoint

717
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: at all, but I think it's just smart, Like, all right,

718
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: beat Queens by twenty, get the assist record, and then

719
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: just kind of move into the rest of the tournament.

720
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: There you heard that, Queens. He's already counting you out.

721
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do have Queen's coach on tomorrow, hopefully, don't

722
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: you guys, don't bring that up when he joined to say,

723
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: I would never do that to you. Nine o'clock tomorrow.

724
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: First question, Yeah.

725
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: He wouldn't do that to anybody, would you?

726
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: Second round match up here for Purdue. They could be

727
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: seeing former Indiana legend Malik renew. I did see the

728
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: Miami Hurricanes.

729
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: Right, Kevin. I was chilling last night, and I'm in

730
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 4: a group text with a few other Cults writers and

731
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: Joel text. The group says Steve and I hate your

732
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 4: team and I hope they die. And I was like, WHOA,

733
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: that's pretty aggressive. And but I'll have you know.

734
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 3: That Missouri Miami, Yes, there you go.

735
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 4: Joel is a Missou alum. And then you have the U,

736
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 4: which is the school of Stephen Holder. So got a

737
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 4: little friendly rivalry going on there.

738
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: By the way, same people that were yelling at me

739
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: how disrespectful it was that Notre Dame turned down a

740
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: bull bit or those the same people that are yelling

741
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 3: about Indiana turning down an it bit.

742
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: That's those folks.

743
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 4: Possibly. I mean, I actually agree with like the the

744
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: outrage is always whatever, But do you think that these

745
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 4: like how long is the n I T gonna be there?

746
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 4: Is it always gonna be there? Just because I mean,

747
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: are you gonna even ask certain teams anymore? Because it

748
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 4: seems like any school in like a power for conference

749
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: or whatever is not going to go because they already

750
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 4: have to get into the transfer portal and worry about

751
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 4: their roster manager for next season.

752
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: That CBI tournament's already gone on pause and hiatus for

753
00:32:59,240 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: this year.

754
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that'd Supper coming back. That was

755
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: kind of the one underneath the NIT too.

756
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: So it's in this day and age of NIL that

757
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of kids they don't have enough. A

758
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: lot of these programs don't have enough players to play

759
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: once their regular season.

760
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: And the night is over.

761
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: I hate it, but I understand why teams just don't

762
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 4: do it, because if you waste another week and a

763
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: half playing games, you could be wasting time trying to

764
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 4: get your roster retooled.

765
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

766
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: Actually, I looked at the NIT bracket last night. There's

767
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: actually a few more high majors than I would have thought.

768
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 3: Like I would have like Auburn said, yes, for example,

769
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: I respect that they were a team that you know, well,

770
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: Bruce Pearl, you should be yeah, so yeah, I I

771
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: you should absolutely be going in that tournament. I understand

772
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: obviously Indian as a slew of guys that are out

773
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: of eligibility, But I don't know. Maybe this would be

774
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: good for Trent Sisly to get thirty eight minutes a

775
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: night here in the NIT.

776
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: All right, So Purdue headed to Saint Louis for their

777
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: first game in the West Region. They'll be taking on Queens.

778
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: It'll be Friday night at seven thirty five. We'll have

779
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: lots more on that as the morning on. But I

780
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: ask both of you as we sit here today, it's

781
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: the easiest question in the NFL. But we are now

782
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: a full week past legal tampering where you can sign

783
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: guys coming up in the middle of the week last week,

784
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: and now signing your own free agents and doing all

785
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: kinds of things. Obviously, the big things the Colts had

786
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: to do they did. They got Daniel Jones, their guy,

787
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: that's who they wanted. They resigned him to a two

788
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: year deal. They go get Alec Pierce, they get him

789
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: to a four year deal. I ask both of you,

790
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: and I'll start with you, Kevin Bowen. Are the Colts

791
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: any better today than they were a week ago?

792
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: No, No, not at all. So that remains a question

793
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 3: and again, if you look at like the structuring of

794
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones's deal, you look at the structuring of Alec

795
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: Pierce's deal, like, clearly they I mean they have cap space.

796
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: You know, I firmly believe they wanted Trey Hendrickson pretty

797
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: darn badly. So it's like, Okay, we're all your eggs

798
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: in the Hendrickson basket and then pivoting to something else

799
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: was just not real going to happen. So, you know

800
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 3: what on field questions have been answered, Like in terms

801
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 3: of improvement, that's where I think they've really just kind

802
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: of retooled their depth. I don't know if they've gotten

803
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: better with their depth, but like defensive line, I just

804
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: think it's kind of new bodies. Yes, it is probably

805
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 3: the easiest way to put it. But if you look

806
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: at their front seven right now, they have several big

807
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: questions still to be answered there. So yeah, I mean

808
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 3: that's a that's an emphatic no. I know, there's nobody

809
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 3: that consider and say right now the Cults are a

810
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 3: better football team.

811
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: And offensively they're down Michael Pittman Junior. That's the only

812
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: real difference right now, isn't it. Well, Braydon Smith well, okay,

813
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: so there you go.

814
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, now again I think like, okay, Braidon Smith's Jalen Travis,

815
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: you know, can you pass that torch a little bit there.

816
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to be one for one, but.

817
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 4: We did see that coming though, right right, And.

818
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: I guess maybe that's probably where some of it comes.

819
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: I I just think defensively, like offense, okay, maybe they're

820
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 3: down whatever half a letter grade, but defensively right now,

821
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 3: it's like, wait a minute, walk me through what these

822
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: plans are. And when you look at the pass rushers

823
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: that are available, honestly, James, the pass rusher list is available,

824
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: it looks like a list you would have read me

825
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, well twenty two, like Jeff has read

826
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: these names off almost daily. It's like Jadavian Clowney, Joey Bosa,

827
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 3: Hassan Reddick, Cam Jordan. I'm like, what year are we in?

828
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: But again, that's what you're subject to when you don't

829
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 4: make the splash and the big first wave. You don't

830
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 4: make the trade at least so far for that starter.

831
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 4: So you're left with flawed guys, guys who have injury history,

832
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 4: or they're older or both, and if you're gonna bet

833
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: on a younger player, it's somebody who's probably unproven. So

834
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 4: that's what you're left with. So I'm very curious to

835
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: see how they address adding a starting caliber defensive end.

836
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: That was the obvious takeaway, at least for me from

837
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 4: that first week of free agency when it comes to

838
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 4: the Colts, because no, they're not a better team right now,

839
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 4: and I'm not sure they're going to be going into

840
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six all things considered, because I do have

841
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 4: to kind of dock you on your quarterback a little

842
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 4: bit because he's coming off an injury. He probably won't

843
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: be the same even if he's cleared to play boy

844
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 4: week one. And then on top of that, to Jeff's point, yeah,

845
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 4: you don't have one of your top receivers from last year,

846
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 4: and I get that that was always a logical move

847
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: to move on from him, But again, where does that

848
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 4: production come from? Sure you can get more of it

849
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 4: from Tyler Warren and perhaps from Josh Downs, but it's

850
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: still a significant, I think loss for your offense that

851
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 4: you can't just gloss over. But to kind of put

852
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: a button on it, I do trust them to figure

853
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: out their offensive woes or maybe perhaps struggles that might

854
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 4: arise a lot easier because of SAME's tyking quite Franklin

855
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 4: what he's done with his offense over the last few years.

856
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 4: Then defensively, defensively, I'm just looking like, man, there's so

857
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 4: many holes that you haven't addressed. Still need a starting

858
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: linebacker or two, still need to starting defensive.

859
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: End, say two, and then I would say, maybe.

860
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 4: You found your starting strong safety. And Jya Thomas, I

861
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 4: know their colds are pretty high on him and his potential,

862
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: and he's shown some stuff a little bit on tape,

863
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: but even in he's a rather unproven player.

864
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: One other, really not related note, but did you guys

865
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: see the Christie's auction for Jim Mersey's memorabilia collection this

866
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: past week.

867
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 3: That was a big price tag, wasn't it.

868
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 4: You know, like four hundred million plus I.

869
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: Think ninety three million, six hundred and fifty six thousand

870
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: dollars during the live auctions Thursday to Saturday. Jeez, they

871
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: had estimated that the items would go for about forty million,

872
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: not for yeah, okay, that meant ninety three million, six hundred.

873
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: And fifty six thousand dollars.

874
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: That's a little promerabilia right there, man boy, that's a

875
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: lot that I mean. We talked about some of the

876
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: stuff that he had, the saddle used by Ron Turcotte

877
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 1: when he rode Secretariat and the seven twenty three triple

878
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: Crown that was a million and a half right there.

879
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: That's the most ever paid for a horse racing item.

880
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky's jersey that he wore during his five hundredth

881
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: NHL goal that was almost a million dollars. Ali's fight

882
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: rope from Allie listen to stuff like, I mean, it

883
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: was more than just guitars. This is amazing collection.

884
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was an eclectic man, had a lot of

885
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 4: different interests.

886
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: Is Sauce Gardner telling us something on Twitter?

887
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 4: At all I did see that you want to fill

888
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 4: in the listeners.

889
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: So Sauce had tweeted back in the Alec Pierce back

890
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 3: and forth James something to the effect of like should

891
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 3: I lock Alec in my basement? So he signs back

892
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 3: paraphrasing gas there. But he had a tweet this weekend.

893
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 3: He retweeted a tweet about Jonathan Garnard for those unfamiliar

894
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 3: with him. With the Vikings currently rumored to be maybe

895
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 3: a trade candidate pretty complied. Probably the best pass rusher

896
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 3: if you want to throw him into the pool of

897
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 3: the available free agents. The tweets it whoever trades for

898
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 3: Nard is getting a stud. Sauce Gardner retweeted it with

899
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: a little Batman gift of you know, the hand of

900
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: the chin. There love a good pass rush. It's a

901
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: time to open my basement back up, hand on the

902
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 3: chin emoji. Sauce Gardner knows something, Mark.

903
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: Dyke to maybe Sauce should be the general manager.

904
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 5: I'm just curious if that's the case. I mean, when

905
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 5: are the cults selecting on the draft?

906
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 3: Then yeah, they would have so what Jonathan Gernard is

907
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: worth some sort of day two pick. Yeah, so you'd

908
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 3: have one pick in the top hundred. Look not ideal,

909
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: It wouldn't would bother me. That sounds like Chris Ballard's

910
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: definition of hell.

911
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 4: Well, you gave a great description last week, you know,

912
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 4: kind of in hell, so it's hell.

913
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's no there's no such thing as quarterback purgatory.

914
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 3: If you're in a quarterback of the purgatory, you're in hell.

915
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see if Sauce Gardner knows something there.

916
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 2: Like I said maybe Sauce should be running the person.

917
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 3: A lot of Colts fans right now that would sign

918
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 3: off on that wellheartedly.

919
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: We'll see how it all plays out. We'll see how

920
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: it goes and see if they can get themselves any

921
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of pressure off the edge rather than going back

922
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: to the collectively we think we can do it.

923
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 3: James lot too a lot too lot to lots in

924
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: a third year for mister Latsu and actually think like I,

925
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: I have some intrig about Lotso, but I just think

926
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: it's all the eggs are in his basket.

927
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: That's where we're at.

928
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: Give us a shout on the fan text line of

929
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: two three, ninety ten, seventy coming up in a moment,

930
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk NCAA tournament. What does it mean for

931
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: Purdue to have played themselves up to a two seed.

932
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: They'll be in the West Region. We will talk to

933
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: a man from CBO Sports, Isaac Trotter about that as

934
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: we continue.

935
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: In a moment.

936
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: Also Rob Blackman, voice of the Purdue Boilermakers, hopefully.

937
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: Going to be joining us in the nine o'clock hour.

938
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about just an unbelievable four game run to

939
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: this Big Ten Conference tournament. Title in Chicago this past week,

940
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: and man was that fun to watch against Michigan yesterday.

941
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: We'll do it all as we continue next. It's ninety

942
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: three to five and one seven five the Fan.

943
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 8: As you were listening to about Fan morning show on

944
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 8: Sports Radio, ninety three to five and one oh seven

945
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 8: five the Fan.

946
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: On the March.

947
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: Well, we've been in March for a while and Produce

948
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: certainly made it feel like March this past week as

949
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: they run through the Big Ten tournament, earned themselves a

950
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: two seed and they will get going on Friday night

951
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: over in Saint Louis and the West Region where they'll

952
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: be taking on Queens University and we're looking forward to that.

953
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: And really that is your local unless you count, and

954
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: I think we do. I think we've counted Miami of

955
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: Ohio with some local ties at the coaching head coaching position.

956
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 1: That's interesting for us, right, Kevin, we like that. Well, Arnette,

957
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 1: those are our two teams.

958
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: We're struggling, struggling for a lot of local connections.

959
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's check the payleoss Lickers hotline right now.

960
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: We're bring in Isaac Trotter from CBS Sports basketball analyst

961
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: and covers the sport and all things tournament, and he's

962
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: kind enough to join us here on a Monday morning.

963
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: It's purduer bust around here, man.

964
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: But they did a nice job getting through the Big

965
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: team tournament. So first of all, good morning, Isaac, Thanks

966
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: for being here. Were you satiated this past weekend. You

967
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: need a day or two to kind of take your

968
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: breath in again.

969
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 6: No days off are allowed in these parts. So yeah,

970
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 6: I was in here in Chicago for the Big Ten tournament.

971
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 6: Got to see Purdue up close for three or four

972
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 6: days in a row, and it feels like they got

973
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 6: their swagger back a little bit. I wouldn't say that

974
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 6: this is maybe a get right tournament for them, but

975
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 6: I just felt like they found more grit this past

976
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 6: week and they played really well against Nebraska. I thought

977
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 6: they played really good against Northwestern for long stretches, found

978
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 6: a way to win against UCLA, and then take care

979
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 6: of business again Michigan and kind of good vibes are

980
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 6: kind of back in that in that locker room. And

981
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 6: now they get a two seed that draws kind of

982
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 6: good I would say, for the most part, and now

983
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 6: we go. So I'm just it's interesting. It feels like

984
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 6: the long regular season, you could make a really good

985
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 6: case that Purdue was a bit of a disappointment. But

986
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 6: it feels like in March you can kind of erase

987
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 6: all of those bad juju with a little run and

988
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 6: producertainly started that here at Chicago.

989
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 4: Again, we're talking to Isaac Trotter here on one seven

990
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 4: five the Fan. He covers college basketball for CBS Sports

991
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 4: in twenty four seven Sports as well. Also used play

992
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 4: basketball with him in college, and my chest still hurts

993
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 4: from his post moves to Isaac on that front.

994
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 3: But Isaac's seriously, if you know.

995
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 4: If you have any a little physicality hitting my boy, Isaac.

996
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 4: But jokes aside, my guy, when you look at what

997
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 4: Purdue has done this season, I know you touched on

998
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 4: a little bit there, but how much do you think

999
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 4: this last run will not define Braden Smith's legacy? But

1000
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 4: perhaps you know, shaped the way we view it in

1001
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 4: the long term because we know they've done everything, but

1002
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: you know, get that final national championship, but just this

1003
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: run in general, how important do you think it would

1004
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 4: be to get back to the final four here in Indianapolis.

1005
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 6: It just it would be a chance to put him

1006
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 6: down as an all time great. You know, I think

1007
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 6: that you could put him on that short list of

1008
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 6: the best Purdue players of all time if he can

1009
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 6: lead this group back to the Final four one more time.

1010
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that the vibe around this

1011
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 6: team has been a little bit iffy for long stretches

1012
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 6: this year, and I think you've seen Purdue take Saint

1013
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 6: Punch's and they lose five games at home and kind

1014
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 6: of wondering how a senior laden team with this much continuity,

1015
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 6: like why they can't get over the hump. But I

1016
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 6: do think that Braden has hung in there, and you know,

1017
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 6: he's two away obviously from bringing the Alzheim assist record,

1018
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 6: but he's just continued to hung in there and fight.

1019
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 6: And I think defensively, especially yesterday, I thought he played

1020
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 6: great defensively for long stretches and that's not necessarily going

1021
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 6: to be a huge strength of his game, but they

1022
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 6: need that moving forward. And Queen's in that first round game, like,

1023
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 6: they got guards who can go. They played Missouri and

1024
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 6: Miami in that second game, they got guards who can go.

1025
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 6: And I think Braiden's ability defensively to play his best

1026
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 6: basketball is going to be huge and obviously, I think

1027
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 6: he is one of the most special floor generals that

1028
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 6: we've ever seen, especially when you see him up close.

1029
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,479
Speaker 6: The way he manipulates defenses is pretty uncanny. He will

1030
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 6: have his moment in the sun, I think, with obviously

1031
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 6: breaking the alzheimer'sist record here in the next game or two.

1032
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 6: But I do I kind of feel like there's also

1033
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 6: a little bit more that he can bring as a

1034
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 6: score and if he can put it all together here,

1035
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 6: like when you got a point guard like that, you

1036
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 6: have a chance. And Purdue has a chance to make

1037
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 6: the Final four because Braden Smith's on its basketball team.

1038
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 3: As a answer to this is probably obvious, but if

1039
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 3: I gave you the one seeds or I gave you

1040
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 3: the field, who would you take to one at all?

1041
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 6: The one seeds? For sure? You know, I think the

1042
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 6: data would back that up that the one seeds are

1043
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 6: a little bit different this year than compared to the past.

1044
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 6: Do I think? You know, if you kind of look

1045
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 6: at betting on like the top four seeds, there's like

1046
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 6: twelve point bat or more for all of the top

1047
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 6: four seeds in every single game, So it's like it

1048
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 6: feels like there's a big gap between the haves and

1049
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 6: the have nots, and then there's another gap between the

1050
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 6: elites and the halves. Right like, Arizona is the year

1051
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 6: of like, it's the year of skilled size. Honestly, in

1052
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 6: college basketball. Arizona's like one of the biggest rosters in

1053
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 6: college basketball. Michigan's one of the biggest rosters. Duke has

1054
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 6: built an enormous team, and so has Florida. So those

1055
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 6: four teams are just so physical and so elite defensively,

1056
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 6: with very few guys that you can really pick at

1057
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 6: and go at defensively that I feel like I have

1058
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 6: to go with them. I have Arizona winning this whole thing.

1059
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are certainly extremely skilled one through five there,

1060
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 3: and they're big men are pretty impressive. Okay, how about

1061
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 3: a four seed or lower if I kind of put

1062
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 3: the feet to the fire a little bit there and said,

1063
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 3: a four seed or lower that you think could be

1064
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 3: an endie, anybody stand out to you? Albeit obviously a

1065
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 3: long shot.

1066
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 6: It's definitely a long shot. But the way Wisconsin is

1067
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 6: playing right now is just different. Nick Boyd like has

1068
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 6: a snarl about him that he just is not scared

1069
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 6: of anybody. And then you throw in John Blackwell, like

1070
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 6: those two guards can really really go that. They gave

1071
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 6: Illinois sixty nine points this week at the Big Ten Tournament,

1072
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 6: which is really impressive, and they came back the next

1073
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 6: day and just went right to war against Michigan. So

1074
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 6: I think Wisconsin's straw is pretty brutal, Like an Arkansas

1075
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 6: matchup in the round of thirty two is tough Arizona

1076
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 6: and the Sweet sixteen is really tough as well, But

1077
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 6: that group can play at a very very high level.

1078
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 6: And that's the five spot. Like that, that's an interesting one.

1079
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 6: You know. Another one I would look at is Vanderbilt.

1080
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 6: You know, I think they're pretty brutally underseated and they're

1081
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 6: at the five line as well. And Tyler Tanner has

1082
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 6: been absolutely terrific so far this year, probably like pound

1083
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 6: for pounds, one of the best athletes in college basketball.

1084
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 6: It sounds weird, but like he's six steve, he's one

1085
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 6: hundred and eighty pounds that he just gets by everybody

1086
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 6: in the paint, has a huge wingspan, like just destroys

1087
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 6: people off the bounce. I think they could beat their

1088
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 6: first round matchup of McNeice and Nebraska, and they'd have

1089
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 6: potential rematch against Florida and in the sweet sixteen, and they

1090
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 6: just destroyed Florida in the SEC tournament. So those are

1091
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 6: the two that I would potentially look at. But the

1092
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 6: more I look at this bracket, the more chock I

1093
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 6: think it, ever is just because I do feel like

1094
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 6: the gap between the haves and the have nots, as

1095
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 6: I was saying earlier, is pretty wide.

1096
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: What's it look like for Miami of Ohio and a

1097
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: getting in and the play in game, and that's awesome,

1098
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: And a lot of people were saying they didn't even

1099
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: deserve to get in because they didn't win their conference

1100
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: tournament and even though they ran the table in the

1101
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: regular season, Like, what do we really make of Miami

1102
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: of Ohio at this point?

1103
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 6: You know, I think it was a really good indicator

1104
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 6: that road wins are important. And I thought that Miami Ohio. Yeah,

1105
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 6: they weren't able to play any of those elite teams

1106
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 6: in nonconferencely because no one wanted to play them, But

1107
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 6: they did a good job of just like stacking as

1108
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 6: many road games as possible, which helped their numbers, really

1109
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 6: boosted them up and wins the bubble, which is the

1110
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 6: new resume metric that the committee is using, and now

1111
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 6: we go and I think it's an interesting conversation here

1112
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 6: actually in that first four because if you put like

1113
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 6: the most mediocre, like high major team on paper, it

1114
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 6: would probably look a lot like SMU. And I think

1115
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 6: we'll get to see you a little bit of like

1116
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 6: what the gap is like between the most mediocre high

1117
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 6: major team and one of the best mid major teams

1118
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 6: in college basketball in Miami Ohio. And this is a

1119
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 6: group that they have great connectivity. They move the ball

1120
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 6: in the incredibly high level. They're si straight, they do

1121
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 6: a good job of just passing it. They cut extremely well.

1122
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 6: I think Travis Steele has done a good job of

1123
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 6: modernizing his offenses. But I'm just kind of curious how

1124
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 6: this first matchup goes against SMU, because SMU definitely has

1125
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 6: more athleticism, They have good rim protection, they have guards

1126
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 6: that can really play in Boopy Miller. If BJ Edwards

1127
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 6: can play, that would be huge. And obviously Jeron Pierre is,

1128
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 6: you know, kind of a nightly sixteen to eighteen points

1129
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 6: per game score, but you know it's Miami Ohio is

1130
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 6: like the beauty of them is like they're a team,

1131
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 6: like they're not like this like five star here, four

1132
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 6: star recruit here, great trans for here. They're just a team.

1133
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 6: And I think that's the beauty of college basketball, that

1134
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 6: they've just gotten better and better and better as they've

1135
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 6: stayed together longer. And I'm just kind of curious that

1136
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 6: they can go toe to toe with a high major,

1137
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 6: like they want their shot at the high major. Here's

1138
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 6: your chance, Like you get to go out and prove

1139
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 6: it against SMU.

1140
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: All Right, the other thing you mentioned in a moment ago,

1141
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: we heard it all day long yesterday. We heard it

1142
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: leading up to selection Sunday. Wins above bubble, which is

1143
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: the brand new thing, and that's essentially how'd you do

1144
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: gain individual game by individual game based on what you

1145
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: were expected to do in that game. Is that kind

1146
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: of the easiest way to say it.

1147
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, It's like what would the average bubble team do

1148
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 6: against your schedule. It's the easiest way to kind of

1149
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 6: try to like figure out like the differentiating schedules. And

1150
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 6: the biggest thing that we learned from that metric is

1151
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 6: that road wins are like gold. Like if you have

1152
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 6: a six percent chance to go on the road, the

1153
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 6: average bubble team is six percent chance to go on

1154
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 6: the road and win a game at Purdue, and you're

1155
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 6: able to go win that game like that's plus zero

1156
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 6: point nine to four and wins above bubble. I thought

1157
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 6: the committee is basically like they've all in on it.

1158
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 6: You saw that you basically yesterday the only team with

1159
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 6: a positive wins abub bubble score that didn't make the

1160
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 6: tournament was Auburn, And I'm cool with that, right, Like

1161
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 6: Aubred at sixty losses, that'd have been the most losses

1162
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 6: of any of an at large team would have had

1163
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 6: and made the tournament. So if you can manufacture your

1164
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 6: wins bub bubble, you goun the road, you beat teams

1165
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 6: to have a positive wins of bub bubble, you have

1166
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 6: a really really good chance of making against a tournament.

1167
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 4: Isaac, I do want to pivot a little bit to

1168
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 4: do mainly because the Pacers have a chance to get

1169
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 4: the top four pick in the draft. And they land

1170
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 4: the top four pick, they get to retain it. Otherwise,

1171
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 4: if it's a little bit higher, it goes on to

1172
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 4: the Clippers. Saw all that in mind. I feel like

1173
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 4: we've talked a lot, sorry here on these airwaves about

1174
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 4: aj Debanza. Darren Petersony Karen Bus has kind of flown

1175
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 4: under the radar a bit for our audience. How good

1176
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 4: of a player has he been this season? And is

1177
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: he the National Player of the Year. I know that's

1178
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 4: been a discussion as well.

1179
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's Santos. He is literally inevitable. Every single game,

1180
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 6: he just finds a way to contribute. And I would

1181
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 6: encourage anybody to go watch that ACC Tournament finale against Virginia,

1182
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 6: Like he had thirteen points on three p seventeen shooting

1183
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 6: and was the best player on the floor, Like the

1184
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 6: eight assists that he has. His playmaking is just terrific,

1185
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 6: completely relentless on the offensive glass. He's just wired to

1186
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 6: play winning basketball, Like just so so good on the glass,

1187
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 6: makes great decisions in the post. If you double him,

1188
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 6: he's finding the open man. He's just relentless, and I

1189
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 6: think early in the season I was a little concerned

1190
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 6: about like his feet, like he doesn't get a ton

1191
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 6: of lift in the paint, But all of those kind

1192
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 6: of issues have kind of gone away for me. He

1193
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 6: is a knockdown shooter over forty percent from three point range,

1194
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 6: just gorgeous stroke and makes all his free throws tough

1195
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 6: in the paint. And I just think the winning is

1196
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,720
Speaker 6: something that you just can't overemphasize. And he is certainly

1197
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 6: running away with National Player of the Year. And my

1198
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 6: concerns about him as a pro like we're a little

1199
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 6: higher at the beginning of the year, and I have

1200
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 6: none now, Like, I just feel like he has just

1201
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 6: wired to play winning basketball. And if you put him

1202
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 6: on the same floor with like a Tyreet Haliburt, like

1203
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 6: the type of processing for your point guard and your

1204
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 6: power forward at the same time, like that would probably

1205
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 6: break a lot of computer models.

1206
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: I like it.

1207
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 1: Thanks as always for joining us, Isaac Trotter, CBS Sports.

1208
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: Your time has arrived, my friend. It's gonna be a

1209
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: lot of fun from here until we get done in

1210
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: Indie the Monday nights first Monday night in April.

1211
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 6: So, of course, guys, thanks for having.

1212
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: Met there you go.

1213
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: By the way, I was looking at Winds above Bubble yesterday,

1214
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: Do you guys know where Purdue is on the list

1215
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: in the rankings for Winds above Bubble?

1216
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: Surprised me a little bit. I do not fourth the

1217
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 2: entire nation.

1218
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 3: Well, they've been excellent away from home this season. I

1219
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 3: think it's eaten three on the road. I believe it's

1220
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 3: undefeated on the neutral floor. Remember they beat the Hammer

1221
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 3: Texas Tech down there, and I think it was the Bahamas.

1222
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 3: I want to say, you know, the one at Alabama

1223
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 3: in the non conference, So you know, is that a

1224
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 3: good thing for them coming up? It was funny. I

1225
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 3: was at the The Bulldog Friday night, one of my

1226
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 3: favorite stablishments. It was excellent there. Thank you to Jack

1227
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 3: Daniels and our small ball event. We'll be at Parks

1228
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 3: Place Pub a week from tonight for our championship so

1229
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 3: you can still get into our championship there. One thousand

1230
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 3: dollars grand prize to come out to Parks Place Pub

1231
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 3: a week from Monday, and I'll be there seven to nine.

1232
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 3: But I was chatting with some Purdue fans because obviously

1233
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 3: it was packed there for the Purdue Nebraska game, and

1234
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 3: and somebody came up to me and mentioned that, you

1235
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 3: know it kind of their Purdue group text, there's a

1236
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 3: thought of there. They've almost treated the regular season like

1237
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 3: an NBA team treats a regular season really okay, and

1238
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, you know, this switch is flipped,

1239
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, come March. Whereas an NBA team obviously would

1240
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 3: you know, flip it come playoff time. There's a little

1241
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 3: bit of like, boy, that sounds good in my head.

1242
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if I totally believe it, but then

1243
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 3: you watch him play in Chicago and you're like, well, damn,

1244
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 3: it certainly looks like that. Again. It might it might

1245
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 3: be giving a little too much credit to everybody involved there,

1246
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 3: but I don't know if there is like any sort

1247
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 3: of like we just got to get to March. We

1248
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 3: just got to get to March. I mean, they could

1249
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 3: have gone undefeated this regular season and everybody still would

1250
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 3: have said that, well, you got to prove it over

1251
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 3: six nights in March in April, and I guess that's

1252
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 3: separate even from the Big Ten tournament. But I just

1253
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 3: thought that was an interesting thought. That's someone had brought

1254
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 3: up to me.

1255
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: It is that time of year and I can't wait

1256
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: for it to get here in a couple of weeks.

1257
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a lot of fun.

1258
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: And for those that will be traveling to Saint Louis

1259
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: on Friday night, I mean, that's Taylor made Kevin seven

1260
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: thirty five start for a place that's about three and

1261
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: a half four hours away.

1262
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: They're gonna be a pretty big Purdue crowd, I.

1263
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 3: Would think on Friday night, don't you you nervous about

1264
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 3: how many Missouri fans could be there on Sunday.

1265
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: I did think about that when I saw the bracket

1266
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: released the other day. But I also think Perdue is

1267
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: well equipped to handle.

1268
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 3: Missouri Columbia a couple hours away for those an hour

1269
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 3: familiar with me, not even that geography there. Yeah, So

1270
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 3: for doing Queens, we'll have the Queen's head coach, Grant

1271
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 3: Leonard on Friday. Queens just made the jump from D two.

1272
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 3: You know, I think we've had more of this year recently.

1273
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 3: They've been in D one for less than five years.

1274
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, as Isaac said there, they are a team,

1275
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 3: very balanced scoring, very high scoring team beat Central Arkansas

1276
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 3: in overtime to win their conference title. They weren't favored

1277
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 3: to win their conference championship here. Not much size really

1278
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 3: at all. So on those are a couple of things

1279
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: that said about the Queen's Royals in Charlotte, Jeff, you're

1280
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 3: familiar with their campus at all.

1281
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: I have been around. I've not been on the campus,

1282
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: but I drove by it a lot. It's right, It's

1283
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: just what well, really just east of what they call uptown,

1284
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: not downtown down there. It's just a couple of miles

1285
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: from the city center there, so very much a city campus.

1286
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 3: More like junior college transfers than anything on that team.

1287
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: You know, when you saw this, remember last year Mark

1288
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 3: we had that was it Alan Huss was that the

1289
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: coach at high Point? Do we have him on? That's

1290
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 3: something right? The Grambling coach the year before. We've kind

1291
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 3: of done this with Purdue, and last year that High

1292
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 3: Point team was a lot of like D one transfers,

1293
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 3: whereas this team is a little bit more of the

1294
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 3: junior college ranks.

1295
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's worked out for them.

1296
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: Well, one last thing on that wins above bubble like Michigan, Duke,

1297
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: Arizona far and away scored higher on that than anybody else.

1298
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 1: Give you an example, Michigan was fourteen point zero seven

1299
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: when you add all that up that he was talking about,

1300
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: Duke's thirteen point ninety seven, Arizona was thirteen point nine four,

1301
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,959
Speaker 1: and then Purdue comes in at nine point one two.

1302
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they are those three teams are way ahead

1303
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: in that metric of anybody.

1304
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

1305
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: So I kind of agree with what he says, you

1306
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: look at number one seeds at the field.

1307
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 2: I thought it was a great question, Kevin.

1308
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm generally a chalky guy when I fill out my bracket,

1309
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: and this is going to be really chalky when I

1310
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: get it done this week.

1311
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think this is probably the most Yes,

1312
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 3: the one seeds I think are on a tier, but

1313
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 3: I also think, like that second tier pretty good. It's

1314
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 3: pretty darn good. I mean, he brings up Wisconsin. I mean, James,

1315
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: you're fighting a line. I can certainly get hot. You know,

1316
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 3: obviously Purdue can score with anyone, Like Iowa State is.

1317
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 4: A two seed, Houston is a two right.

1318
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean when you watch that Big twelve tournament, Arizona

1319
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 3: had to I mean, it had some great games just

1320
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 3: to win it. Houston comes back and Jayden Bradley hits

1321
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: that crazy shot on Friday night to advance there. So

1322
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 3: again there is a yes. I would to answer my

1323
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 3: own question, I asked Isaac, I would say that yes,

1324
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 3: I would probably take the one seeds. But still, I

1325
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 3: don't think this is like the Yukon back to back years,

1326
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 3: or even the Florida, you know, back to back years,

1327
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 3: of like they are far and away the better team.

1328
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 3: I think once you get to that sweet sixteen round,

1329
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: I think we could see just some unbelievable game. You know,

1330
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 3: Duke struggled with Virginia, and I mean, hell, Virginia monst

1331
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 3: lost Anore Dame should have lost it.

1332
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: For those wondering at home, Indiana was forty ninth on

1333
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: that list, A zero point seventh minus zero point seven

1334
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: to three.

1335
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 4: Question for you all, especially Mark and Kevin because they

1336
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 4: have younger kids. But when you fill out the brackets,

1337
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 4: do you do that with your kids as well? Or

1338
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 4: you just let them pick like the random teams? And honestly,

1339
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 4: it's funny because we'll look up in like a week

1340
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 4: and they might actually have the best bracket in the house.

1341
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and they chose it based off like mascot's

1342
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 4: or something.

1343
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 3: I don't think I've been the high Bowen bracket in years.

1344
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 5: My oldest didn't want to go to bed until she

1345
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 5: filled out her bracket. She still wants to go a

1346
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 5: women's bracket later.

1347
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: She done well done.

1348
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 5: She ended up with I Believe Northern Iowa winning the

1349
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 5: national championship Northern Iowa against I Believe Iowa State Panthers.

1350
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 6: Right.

1351
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 4: She loves Iowa.

1352
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 3: James Clark, I don't know.

1353
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 2: One one little note for you, James.

1354
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: The lovely Missus Rickards alma mater winning the IVY League

1355
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: championship yesterday or this weekend. Penn going up against two

1356
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: in the first round Illinois.

1357
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 4: There you go, Yeah, we're gonna beat the breaks off

1358
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 4: out to the Missus. That's Fran McCaffrey, right, That is

1359
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 4: frand McCaffrey, the guy on their best players called like

1360
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 4: forty four TJ Power. I think to get him to

1361
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 4: the tournament.

1362
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 3: I think he used to go to Duke if I

1363
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 3: remember Crack. Yeah, that was a crazy finish. There was

1364
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 3: some wow one and well, if you guys watched Dayton

1365
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 3: Saint Louis to finish to that on.

1366
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Saturday, last nine seconds were insane, back and forth and

1367
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: back and.

1368
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 3: For Lurry Bird hits a three, it looks like it's

1369
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 3: going to be the game winner, and then Dayton tips

1370
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 3: it into the I love the Dayton's powder blue jerseys.

1371
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 3: And then and Dayton tips it into the buzzer. They

1372
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 3: almost stole a bid there.

1373
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: So I think there were three lead changes in the

1374
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: final ten seconds, weren't.

1375
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 3: There wild and that finished to Penn Yale was crazy.

1376
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 3: I know Yale almost hit that eighty foot or after

1377
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 3: power hits the three back iron, send it end open?

1378
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw. I got beef with missus Rickord until

1379
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 4: for the notice.

1380
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 2: Good luck with that, You'll be okay.

1381
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 3: She locked in, Jeff. She was she on the edge

1382
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 3: of her seat watching you.

1383
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: She was busy preparing a birthday dinner last night, and

1384
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: she was like, oh, that's.

1385
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Great, and then she got back to what she was doing.

1386
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think you're.

1387
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 5: Getting a buzzer for playing your son's birth no, for

1388
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 5: not being excited for her team.

1389
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: But she was excited, but she had things to do.

1390
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 5: I've gotten, I've gotten, I've gotten that shoulder struggle before.

1391
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 3: Okay, who cares James gonna a your car this week?

1392
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 3: Send a message.

1393
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 4: Saying you's some toilet tissue across the trees. I'm just

1394
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 4: letting you know what me like.

1395

1429
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 5: All right, one battle after another, that's also very good.

1430
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 5: That one best picture.

1431
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 3: Here you go.

1432
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about basketball.

1433
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Perdue earning a number two seed after beating Michigan in

1434
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Tournament conference final yesterday eighty seventy two.

1435
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Braden Smith is the tournament MVP. He has only two

1436
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,959
Speaker 1: sists away from breaking Bobby Hurley's all time assist record

1437
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: in the NCAA. He'll have a chance to do it

1438
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: in the first round matchup on Friday night against Queens

1439
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: from Saint Louis. It'll tip off at seven thirty five.

1440
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: By the way, one little footnote here, Boilers have been

1441
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: a top four seed in their last nine NC double

1442
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: A tournament appearance.

1443
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 3: I think it's one of the most impressive stats frankly

1444
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 3: about Perdue under Matt Painter. And you know I've said

1445
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 3: this a lot about Perdue in these tournament runs. You

1446
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 3: just have to give your self quality darts to throw

1447
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 3: out the board. And when you are a top four

1448
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 3: seed and nine straight tournaments, because you never know injuries, luck,

1449
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 3: racket falls one way, this or that. You never know

1450
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 3: when the year is going to be. You know, look

1451
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 3: at the cold Super Bowl run with Peyton. You ask

1452
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 3: anybody on that on those teams, they would say that

1453
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 3: Super Bowl team was like the third or fourth best

1454
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 3: team of all those years there, and I believe what

1455
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 3: Arizona I think is second with five and I want

1456
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 3: to say, it's like Alabama and Houston are next up

1457
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 3: with four. So I mean they are overwhelmingly the most

1458
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 3: consistent top four seed here over the last you know,

1459
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 3: five to ten years.

1460
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: All Right, the Indiana Pacers continue their slide towards the

1461
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: top four pick in the upcoming NBA lottery, or at

1462
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: least they hope they lose to the Bucks one thirty four,

1463
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: one twenty three at the field House yesterday.

1464
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 2: In Mattinee game.

1465
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: They were competitive in this game until the fourth quarter

1466
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: when Aaron Neismith, who had a career high thirty two points,

1467
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: sat on the bench along with the Viza Zubats and

1468
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: TJ McConnell. None of them played with the game on

1469
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: the line in the fourth quarter there, So PACER's taking

1470
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 1: care of their business there. Yeah, gotta preserve the tank baby,

1471
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, you're ready for the role of the

1472
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: tankathon today?

1473
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 3: Hit me all right?

1474
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: For the second time in a row, we did it

1475
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: again on Friday, Indiana the number one pick. They've lost

1476
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: thirteen in a row, ahead of New Orleans. Well, Atlanta

1477
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: and New Orleans, and New Orleans got it through Atlanta.

1478
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Washington is the third, and they've lost eleven games in

1479
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: a row. So at fifteen and fifty three, Indiana creating

1480
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of space for the worst record in

1481
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: the NBA right.

1482
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 4: Now doesn't matter, Riah. What is it the top four

1483
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 4: or the top three teams?

1484
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 3: Kevin?

1485
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 4: I believe the top four look with the worst the

1486
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 4: worst records in the NBA, they all get the same

1487
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 4: percentage of a fifty.

1488
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 2: Two point one ping pong ball. Yeah, so there you go.

1489
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Nem Hard Siakam did not play at all, and they've

1490
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: got the Knicks tomorrow night on the road, and then

1491
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 1: they come home Wednesday for a game against Portland, only

1492
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: to go back on the road to play at San

1493
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Antonio on Saturday. So not an easy schedule. And then

1494
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: schedule kind of picks up too, Kevin. They might not

1495
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: win again until April when you look at this schedule.

1496
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Friday night they had a great chance. Honestly, they

1497
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 3: cut it to two there late. You know, Zubots has

1498
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 3: played in each of these last three games. You are

1499
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 3: getting a little bit of that. I'm still waiting to

1500
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 3: see Siakam with him We'll see if that's something that

1501
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 3: pops up here with Siaka missing sometimes with the spring knee.

1502
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's at least nice to see Zubats play.

1503
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 3: I know Mitchell Robinson absolutely dominated the glass on Friday night,

1504
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 3: one of the more impressive efforts I've seen. But going

1505
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 3: to see Hi get at o'clock.

1506
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: All right.

1507
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: High school basketball, Mount Vernon stays alive. They'll be playing

1508
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: the Cats Central this weekend. New Albany is going up

Speaker 1: against Terror Hate in four A. This is in the

1510
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: southern half. The teams that we've watched most of the year.

01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Also in the south and three A run Callie is

1512

01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: against Princeton Community after a nice two point went over rebuff.

1514
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 3: This best week, James, I know you're in the building.

1515
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Looked pretty epic and watching Luke Urdle say where's the

1516
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 3: cherry on top for my mister basketball? It's coming my way.

1517
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly mister basketball. Moments plural for him over at

1518
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 4: Southpoar and it was literally standing room only, packed house,

1519
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 4: great crowd. I enjoyed it. And when the game was over,

1520
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 4: a pipe fan next to me looked at me and

1521
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 4: said we just witnessed basketball. Jesus. All he could do

1522
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 4: was tip his captain, Luke Urdle.

1523
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, two A teams we've kind of paid attention to

1524
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Lapel taken on Westview right in Central Park Heritage, and

1525
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: then one A in the south.

1526
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: It'll be bar Reeve.

1527
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Against Liberty Christian while Bloomfield goes up against Howser.

1528
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 3: I swear bar Reeve has like a factory down there, factory.

1529
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 3: How about Carmel getting upset by Fort Waint Steinder. I

1530
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 3: know that was a surprise to some there. So if

1531
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 3: you look at it, you know again it's a lot

1532
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 3: of just kind of new blood. Frankly in the in

1533
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 3: the four right ranks north or South here, so I

1534
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 3: know Jeff said South that four A semi state will

1535
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 3: be it's more like due east. That's Newcastle coming up again.

1540
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1541
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,559

Speaker 1: over there.

1543
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:31,280

01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Mark for that.

1545
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:33,479

Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

1548
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 3: What I literally almost said something that Mark was gonna

01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,879
Speaker 3: have to dump when I looked outside the window. I mean, seriously,

1551
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 2: That's real.

1552
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 5: My brother who lives in Wisconsin, sin He's already been

1553
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 5: given a snow day from work. They're like, don't come,

1554
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 5: there's blizzard warnings.

1555
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 3: What are you kidding?

1556
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Lord?

1557
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 3: And it'll be seventy by Thursday. Right, that's the Midwest, baby,

1558
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 3: take it or leave it.

1559
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 2: Springtime in the Midwest right there?

1560
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 6: All right?

1561
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: Women's basketball, the number one seeds in the tournament are

1562
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: going to be Yukon, South Carolina, Ucla, Texas. No real

1563
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: surprise there. As far as the team USA women's basketball,

1564
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: the World Cup Qualifier continues in Puerto Rico. The USA

1565
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: no problem with New Zealand one on one to forty six.

1566
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark got a start, scored fourteen points and six

1567
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: assist World Baseball Classic last night, USA over the Dominican

1568
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: Republic two to one. Came right down to the last

1569
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 1: out and they disputed called strike at the end, but

1570
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: they went the team USA's way and they're on the final.

1571
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Very favorable call towards the United States. Low low. The

1572
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 3: bullpen was outstanding though, you know, Skiings was pretty darn

1573
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 3: good as well. You got those what three solo shots

1574
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 3: in the game there, and that was it, so you

1575
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 3: had two to one. The US took that lead in

1576
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 3: trying to think back fifth maybe something like that fifth,

1577
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 3: and then held on from there. So they will wait

1578
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 3: the winner of tonight, that is the Italians and the

1579
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 3: Venezuelan crew, and that will be your championship game for

1580
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 3: the World Baseball, World Baseball Class that coming up tomorrow.

1581
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we can take Italy for granted anymore.

1582
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: They just keep putting eight nine runs on the board

1583
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: every night.

1584
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 3: No agreed, all right.

1585
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: That'll be tomorrow night, that championship again. PGA yesterday, nice

1586
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: nice little comeback you were talking about.

1587
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 2: You didn't get a chance to see it all that much,

1588
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 2: all right, No.

1589
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 3: No, I don't watch it's hoops. Cameron Young shout out.

1590
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: He was downstroke going into seventeen, got a birdie and

1591
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: then just did his name.

1592
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 2: So that's what's going on with that.

1593
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: A lot of crickets from the coltsstat not crickets, but

1594
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: not a lot of needle moving moves, would you say, James, No,

1595
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: not really.

1596
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 3: I think crickets is a fine way to describe it.

1597
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 3: Maybe on the other side we can get into get

1598
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 3: to know your new Colt.

1599
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's outstanding. Quickly.

1600
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: An Indy Car Grand Prix of Arlington goes to Kyle

1601
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: Kirkwood overcame a couple of tough pit stops at the

1602
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,679
Speaker 1: end and then passed Alex below in the final laps

1603
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: to get the win.

1604
01:10:58,600 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 4: There.

1605
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: They will go on to Alabama and a race at

1606
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Barber Motorsports Park on March the twenty ninth. Also, we

1607
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: can tell you a loss, tough one on the road

1608
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: for our favorite volleyball team at this point in time,

1609
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: the Indian Night they lose in Omaha, so that was

1610
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: not fun over the weekend, but the Fisher's Freight did

1611
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: light up the the events center over there with a

1612
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: forty five twenty seven. The season opening win over the

1613
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Quad City steam Wheelers. Must have been our conversation with

1614
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: Dixie Wooton on Friday.

1615
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 3: You must have got with the fish pregame story, That's

1616
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:33,560
Speaker 3: what it was.

1617
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:34,600
Speaker 2: Fired everybody up.

1618
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 3: Pregame speech looked like Herb Brooks out there?

1619
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 2: Anything else, guys, not at all? All right?

1620
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: And the moment we'll meet your newest cults via Kevin

1621
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: Bowen next on ninety three five and the Fame.

1622
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 8: It's a rare condition this day and eight reading good

1623
01:11:55,880 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 8: news on the news day we'll be You're listening to

1624
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 8: a fan morning show on sports Radio ninety three and

1625
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 8: one oh seven.

1626
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 4: Inside this is the.

1627
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 5: Family Matters they mark we're gonna talk about the new

1628
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 5: members of the Colts family.

1629
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 3: It was very appropriate.

1630
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 2: As you wear your Hamm and Bears sweater, you know it.

1631
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 3: What a great show, Family Matters. I was going to

1632
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 3: say that excellent show. I had to go back to

1633
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 3: hold my bracket during the break. After looking outside, the

1634
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 3: bracket calms me down, like it's like your blanket, calms

1635
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 3: me down. After looking outside and seeing freaking snow, not

1636
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 3: too early to do skin to skin with it again.

1637
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 2: It's snowing sideways right now. Tell me twice our studio stinks.

1638
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: Who should we get to know this this fine Monday

1639
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: morning for newcomers for the Indianapolis Colts Kevin James.

1640
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 4: One yea yes, one Yea Thomas, safety from Dallas the Cowboys.

1641
01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 4: I think he has some position of versatility. I was

1642
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 4: looking into this little bit.

1643
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 3: Is he gonna start?

1644
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 4: I think there's a legitimate chance he could in replacing

1645
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 4: it Cross. Now I don't necessarily hate that decision. I

1646
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 4: will say that one y A. Thomas does not have

1647
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 4: a lot of NFL experience when it comes to starting.

1648
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 4: But I do think to your point that you've made

1649
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 4: here on the show, Kevin, that that is a position

1650
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 4: where you can kind of plug and play a guy right.

1651
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 4: And I will say that he showed a lot more

1652
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 4: promise last year before the migraines took him off the field. Now,

1653
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 4: I know people are probably thinking, what, we already got

1654
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 4: one cornerback who's dealing with concussions. The other one we

1655
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 4: bring in, this safety has migrain issues. Yes, I did

1656
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 4: ask about that myself, and hopefully what get a chance

1657
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 4: to hear from jan Ye Thomas this week whenever he

1658
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 4: officially signs. But yeah, from what I understand, he has

1659
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 4: it under control. They feel confident in his ability to

1660
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 4: help this team. So it started three games last year

1661
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 4: was seven that he played, pretty athletic guy and kind.

1662
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 5: Of a.

1663
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 4: I think a guy who you look at similarly to

1664
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,600
Speaker 4: the Shaveria's ward path, where it's like undrafted, kind of

1665
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 4: an underdog, but very athletic in someone who could make play.

1666
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 4: So that is the skinny on jan Ye Thomas.

1667
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to be clear, and I don't think you

1668
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 3: were saying this, but nowhere near wards productions no no, no,

1669
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 3: I mean.

1670
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 4: More so like kind of unknown and still trying to

1671
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 4: figure it out. And also the Dallas connection, I want

1672
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 4: to say that Javerius might have started there as well.

1673
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,919
Speaker 3: In a clear So two safeties were signed late on Friday,

1674
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 3: and the most popular person involved with all these safeties

1675
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 3: happens to be the wife of one of them. Deservedly, so, yes,

1676
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 3: very deservedly. So that would be Simone Biles, Mark Dyton.

1677
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 3: Jonathan Owens puts a Bear's uniform for quite a while,

1678
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 3: right yeah, Tuesday two three seasons I believe too, but

1679
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 3: mostly a special teamer, mostly special team are rotated occasionally

1680
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 3: and everything, but for the most part. Yeah, it's a

1681
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 3: rotational guy in the secondary. So again Nick crosses now

1682
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 3: at the commander, so that opens up a strong safety

1683
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 3: starting job one day. Thomas James is big, like six

1684
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 3: three two fifteen. I mean that's a that's a big safety.

1685
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 3: I mean, hell for the Colts. That's been a linebacker

1686
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 3: size frankly here in years past. So you know, we

1687
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 3: talked a little bit about it late last week when

1688
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 3: it cross joined the Commanders. The Colts have little to

1689
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 3: no experience at all left at safety, but again to

1690
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 3: James's point, I do feel like this is a position

1691
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 3: where you can kind of band aid it, and so

1692
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 3: we'll see if Thomas in particular could be that guy.

1693
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,799
Speaker 3: So those are the two new additions for the Colts.

1694
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 3: They did re sign three guys on offense, all at

1695
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 3: the pass catching spots, La Kwan Treadwell, Drew Ogletree, and

1696
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 3: Molei Cox. So their tight end depth chart, James, I guess,

1697
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 3: will be the exact same it was last year.

1698
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, And honestly, I didn't mind what their tight

1699
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,600
Speaker 4: ends offered last year. You probably want to see a

1700
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,560
Speaker 4: little bit more from someone like well Mallory from a

1701
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 4: passing standpoint, but I think there's a bigger role to

1702
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 4: be had for Tyler Warren with the absence of Michael

1703
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 4: Paman June, you're moving forward, and then when you look

1704
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 4: at what Maai Cox has done in years past. He

1705
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 4: is still one of the best blocking tight ends in

1706
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 4: the NFL. And I know it's not sexy and it

1707
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily grab the attention to everyone watching every Sunday,

1708
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 4: but he matters I think a great deal to the offense.

1709
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,719
Speaker 4: And when he's in that role versus being your number

1710
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 4: one tight end like he was for a couple of years,

1711
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 4: there very different, I think in the production levels of

1712
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 4: what you're asking him to do.

1713
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about defensive end and if there's

1714
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: another edge rusher move coming at some point in time,

1715
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: But they still have a really thin group of linebackers,

1716
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 1: do they not at this point in time?

1717
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 4: Yes?

1718
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 3: Very thin? Yeah, I you know, we've chatted about this.

1719
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 3: Jermaine Pratt to me, as a free agent, I would

1720
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 3: probably look into bringing him back. You know, I've kind

1721
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 3: of always thought that they probably would have one of

1722
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 3: the you know, when I say starting linebackers, I think

1723
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 3: at this point teams just start two and then that's

1724
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 3: pretty much it. So yeah, I look at one of

1725
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 3: the two coming via the draft. But again, given the

1726
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 3: kind of exotic nature of a lou An Romo defense,

1727
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 3: I think it's important that you have some veteran and

1728
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 3: maybe even some guy that has history with Lou and

1729
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 3: of course that is Jermaine Pratt. So he is the

1730
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 3: last one, really, James, you know, Taekwon Lewis, I expect

1731
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 3: to sign elsewhere, you know. I saw Danny Pinter, the

1732
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 3: former ball State product, visited, I want to say as

1733
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 3: Baltimore maybe. So I just don't see a lot of

1734
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,679
Speaker 3: kind of in house re signings anymore. I mean they've

1735
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 3: really resigned quite a few of them. Yeah, and then

1736
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 3: quite a few of them have also left. So linebacker

1737
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 3: for me, that's how I would say, you know, one

1738
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 3: in free agency, one in the draft, and that's probably

1739
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 3: what your starting lineup is going to look like next year.

1740
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 2: There, Does that count Jermaine Pratt one in a free agency?

1741
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1742
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, double checking there, all right, So

1743
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: that's what's going on with the Indianapolis Colts and meet

1744
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: your colts.

1745
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 2: But yeah, sim owned Biles.

1746
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: She was very excited, it seemed like, on social media

1747
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: to say hello to Indy and looking forward to coming

1748
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: down there.

1749
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 2: It's kind of nice to hear.

1750
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 4: She liked one of my tweets about John There we go.

1751
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 4: I screenshot that and shout out to Kate Prime and

1752
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 4: one of the more prominent Colts fans online. When I

1753
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 4: put out the news of them signing Jonathan Owen, she

1754
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 4: replied and said, wait a second, James, you buried the

1755
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 4: lead like you didn't mention the biggest factor of his life.

1756
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, by the way, yay, she happens.

1757
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:20,600
Speaker 4: He happens to be the husband of the goat some

1758
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 4: own Biles. And so she was lurking there and liked

1759
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 4: a couple of tweets, and so I screenshoted to make

1760
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 4: sure that it's real, and there I have it. I

1761
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 4: met some own Biles people, the future.

1762
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 3: King of old media.

1763
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 4: No, I'm just saying, man, hey, use the right hashtags you.

1764
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 3: Might get Lucky Biles picking up a few shifts at

1765
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 3: Dana Mannox at ninety six, then I sixty nine to

1766
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 3: teach kids, and I will say gymnastics, this will be my.

1767
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:44,560
Speaker 4: This will not be my. When she inevitably comes to

1768
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 4: a Colts game, it won't be the first time I've

1769
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 4: been in the same building as some own Biles. She

1770
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 4: stopped by actually for a Fever game last summer with

1771
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 4: Gabby Thomas. So she is a very big support of

1772
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 4: women's sports obviously, so I was for her to, you know,

1773
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 4: spend a lot of time catching up with the fever.

1774
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 4: Now two, presumably we'll be moving to Indianapolis, or at

1775
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 4: leat spending a lot of time here with Jonathan Owens.

1776
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, coming up at a moment, we'll talk more

1777
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: about March Madness making its way to Indianapolis. It will

1778
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: start tomorrow. We'll tell you all about it. If you're

1779
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: just waking up. We'll give you some analysis on some

1780
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: early matchups as we continue next.

1781
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 2: It's ninety three to five and one o seven to five.

1782
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 4: The fans.

1783
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: Still snowing a little bit outside, but at least it's

1784
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: not just complete blizzard like it was a moment ago.

1785
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 4: James Boy, I know they must have known, the weather

1786
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 4: people that Mark was gonna play March Madness. We had

1787
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 4: to lighten the mood a little bit. Sot the future

1788
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 4: one time. A lot of bangers he's put out over

1789
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 4: the years.

1790
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's one thing you can guarantee with all

1791
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 1: the re entries, Mark is always going to play a

1792
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: bunch of bangers too.

1793
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and that one, I mean, obviously it's fitting

1794
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 4: the name of the song. Is march madness. And here

1795
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 4: we are now entering the fray. So question for you all,

1796
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 4: when you fall out the bracket, are you just doing it?

1797
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 4: It's one right, one and done.

1798
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 2: That's it.

1799
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 3: What happened?

1800
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 2: We used to call it the bracket of integrity.

1801
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 4: Okay, just making sure because I must say, nothing irks

1802
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 4: me more than that friend who fills out like seven brackets.

1803
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 4: And he told me that their six to one is

1804
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 4: like the ninety nine percentile. Shut up, you loser, and

1805
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 4: no noise. Me too, that even ESPN I could not agreement.

1806
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 5: If you've gotten the ESPN one allowed it says up

1807
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 5: to twenty five, twenty five, yeah, one and done.

1808
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 2: That's it.

1809
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 4: I mean, we're losing recipes around here. I did see

1810
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 4: that Derek Schultz took his son over the Hokies and

1811
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 4: Hops yesterday, grabbed some grub and had them fill it

1812
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 4: out by hand. And I was thinking to myself, boy,

1813
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 4: the youth might be all right.

1814
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 3: I love that. I love Derek Schultz. Thank you for Yes,

1815
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 3: that's a memory right there.

1816
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 4: We're gonna look up in twenty five years and it's

1817
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 4: something going to do the same thing with his son.

1818
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 4: I love it.

1819
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:40,759
Speaker 2: Good stuff.

1820
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 3: So Oscars.

1821
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: Last night, you were paying attention to the Oscar. I

1822
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't really pay attention to this morning. I woke up

1823
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: and kind of looked at the list of winners and stuff. Yeah,

1824
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: anything surprised you was a guy who's watched a lot

1825
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: of movies this past year.

1826
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 4: Not necessarily. I wuldn't even consider myself a big movie guy.

1827
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 4: I did watch Centers. I think it's one of the

1828
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 4: best movies I've ever seen, But I was just intrigued

1829
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 4: by the whole Michael B. Jordan, I saw you as

1830
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 4: Vince in Friday Night Lights years ago, and saw you

1831
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 4: in a couple of different, you know, sports adjacent movies,

1832
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 4: I would say, and now you're winning the award for

1833
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 4: what best Lead Male Actor? I believe in the NFL.

1834
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 4: And then Ryan Coogler, by the way, played actual college football,

1835
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 4: was good at Sacramento State, and so he was, I mean,

1836
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 4: like a record setting wide receiver for them. So he

1837
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 4: was someone who again very good football player and then

1838
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 4: pivoted to filmmaking and one for the Best Picture or

1839
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 4: something like that. So that was pretty cool to see

1840
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 4: just how the sports world kind of influenced some of

1841
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 4: the stuff on that end.

1842
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 3: Original screen play for Ryan Cooper.

1843
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 7: There you go.

1844
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 3: If I could go with the best picture from this weekend,

1845
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 3: every time the camera panned to Gene Katie.

1846
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 2: That that actually he was having fun?

1847
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then seeing was it Lance, Yeah, helped me

1848
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 3: Jones help him to the floor. By the way, Lance

1849
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 3: Jones for like a one year player, like what a blow?

1850
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 3: I feel like he's like such a beloved Purdue player.

1851
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,919
Speaker 3: Obviously hit one of the more iconic shots in program's

1852
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 3: history to kind of ice that Tennessee game and send

1853
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 3: him to the Final four. But yeah, I love that,

1854
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 3: and like just the variety of what you saw from

1855
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 3: Gen Katie. There's one time I want to say it

1856
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 3: might have been the UCLA game where they showed him

1857
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 3: and he kind of gave a pump of the fist

1858
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 3: a little bit there. I'm like, this is that was

1859
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 3: awesome to see. So hopefully Coach Katie's in good enough

1860
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 3: health to be in Saint Louis and potentially San Jose

1861
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:29,560
Speaker 3: and right here in Indy. I thought that was a

1862
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 3: really really cool scene.

1863
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: Showed him one of my favorite brushes with greatness many

1864
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: years ago, early morning out at the Indie Airport, standing

1865
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: in line at Starbucks at like forty five or six

1866
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: o'clock in.

1867
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 2: The morning, and I looked up and right in front

1868
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: of me is Gene Katie.

1869
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 4: All right, wile was in the elevator during All Star

1870
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 4: weekend a couple of years ago. And it opens and

1871
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 4: I step in there and is Doctor J left of me.

1872
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 4: And I got to play the nachos. I told you

1873
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 4: all the story before. I had to play the nachos.

1874
01:22:58,160 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 4: And we're ready to get off the elevator and I

1875
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 4: go to step off, and then guy sticks his hand

1876
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 4: out and he says, you cannot get nacho cheese on

1877
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 4: Doctor J. Let Doctor J get off, really, And we

1878
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 4: were waiting and he was like, hey, if he stops

1879
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 4: and talks to one hundred people, you just wait behind

1880
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,600
Speaker 4: him because you don't want to get nacho cheese on

1881
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 4: the guy who inspired Michael Jordan.

1882
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,799
Speaker 3: That was like when ran into Serena Williams.

1883
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was crazy. I actually did not almost run

1884
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 4: at her. I just said politely, excuse me, and she

1885
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 4: turns around, and I was thinking to myself, excuse me,

1886
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 4: like I'm so sorry for ever even like speaking to you.

1887
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 4: That was crazy. It turns out that she's a minority

1888
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 4: owner of the Miami Dolphins. Maybe I'll see her again

1889
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 4: in the owner's meetings. That's always a unique place to

1890
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:38,520
Speaker 4: be because.

1891
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 3: Are those when are you head now? It's gotta be

1892
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 3: the end of this month.

1893
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to say it's in April, or actually, no,

1894
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 4: it actually is at the end of this month. I'm

1895
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 4: not I thinking about it, but yeah, whenever you head

1896
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 4: out there and you see like they have like this

1897
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 4: big media party as they do for all of those

1898
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 4: who are in attendance and owners, and it's really like

1899
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 4: the only place you'll ever be where you're like players

1900
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 4: aren't there, but you're around everyone within the franchise and

1901
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 4: you're all like kind of on the same level for

1902
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 4: one night. So like there's no like security keeping you

1903
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 4: from walking over to Saint Stychen and saying what's up.

1904
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 4: But what's crazy about that is you'll see some random

1905
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 4: people or you'll think are random, and you're like, oh,

1906
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 4: they must have a stake in and a team or something.

1907
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 4: For example, I was walking through the last one and

1908
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 4: Vince Carter was there, and I'm like, why is Vince

1909
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 4: Carter here? And he's a minority owner I believe of

1910
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins with some other team. So, yeah, a

1911
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 4: lot of cool faces you see and stories to tell.

1912
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,600
Speaker 1: I guess we're down the line, didn't The Dolphins just

1913
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: have like a whole big group of celebrities, actors and

1914
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: athletes that they pulled into part ownership a couple of

1915
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm not exactly sure, but I think they

1916
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,839
Speaker 1: are like Gloria Estefan was one of the entertainers.

1917
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 2: There was just a whole bunch of them like that.

1918
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 2: And probably not a bad way to raise some money

1919
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 2: if you're the owner, right, not.

1920
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,879
Speaker 4: Bad at all. And just to give you all some clarity,

1921
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 4: I guess on what the owner's meanings present and when

1922
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 4: they are. Yeah, this the end of this month, we'll

1923
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 4: be heading out to Phoenix, and that's the next time

1924
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 4: we will talk to Chris Ballard on the record, and

1925
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 4: the next time we will talk to Carly Ersa Gordon

1926
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 4: on the record about the state of the team. Same

1927
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 4: thing with Shane Steichen and where things are. So over

1928
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 4: the next couple of days they can see you to

1929
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 4: sign and ressign players. We'll probably get some zoom calls

1930
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 4: or maybe some in person you know, press conferences from

1931
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 4: different signees, but the actual decision makers won't be available

1932
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 4: until the end of this month.

1933
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 3: My only owners meeting memory was being out in Arizona,

1934
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,799
Speaker 3: probably now a decade ago, and I had a shriek

1935
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 3: of eruption in my body when Pat Connaton blocked Kelen

1936
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 3: Dunham to send the Notre Dame Butler second round game

1937
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 3: into overtime, which Notre Dame then one.

1938
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 4: For me, it's always just Kevin, I mean, besides trying

1939
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 4: to keep up with like the other sports that are

1940
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 4: going on, besides talking to people about the NFL season,

1941
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 4: which isn't for months, it's just the amount of wealth.

1942
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 3: Like I remember being in the hallway last year. Seriously, dude,

1943
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, you gotta walk in the middle of the

1944
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 3: hallway because if you touch anything in this hotel, all

1945
01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 3: of a sudden, alarm's going.

1946
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. We were at well I think it was

1947
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 4: Palm Beach last yeah, last year, and I am sitting

1948
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,600
Speaker 4: in the hallway and they let out the meetings for

1949
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 4: all the owners because they have their own separate meetings

1950
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 4: of way from just meeting with the media, and I'm

1951
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,639
Speaker 4: thinking to myself, okay, like there's a Jaguars owner, there's

1952
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 4: carli Ers Gordon, there's a Jets owner. Oh wow, there's

1953
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,600
Speaker 4: a Giants owner and like you realize, oh, this is

1954
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 4: like fifty billion dollars of net worth in this hallway.

1955
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 4: You better, you better not touch anything. If not more,

1956
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 4: I'm serious, it's it's quite the experience.

1957
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 2: Did the athletics spring for a suite in the same hotel?

1958
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,560
Speaker 4: Ah for you, no chance. They tell us where to

1959
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 4: stay locally, and then we usually just catch ubers and

1960
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 4: stuff over. So there's a lot of ride sharing going

1961
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 4: on those days.

1962
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 3: March twenty ninth to April first in Phoenix this year.

1963
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 3: I love Phoenix. Well, the YouTube chats and a very

1964
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 3: healthy discussion about dusty banners at IU versus produce no banners.

1965
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 3: You know, it's a good Monday when we're having that debate.

1966
01:26:58,920 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 4: Well, you know I feel about it.

1967
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 3: And eightieth time in a row.

1968
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 4: If you didn't see it, didn't happen. So if there's like,

1969
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 4: for example, being the Illinois guy, if there's like the

1970
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 4: IU fan who tells me and they're like, my age,

1971
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 4: oh man, we won this championship. You didn't even see it.

1972
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:14,560
Speaker 4: So I don't want to hear you claiming something you

1973
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 4: didn't see so.

1974
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 3: Right now, we'd be at what year. I guess I

1975
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 3: didn't see it. I was thirty six, so thirty seven

1976
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 3: years and younger, thirty eight years and younger, and you

1977
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 3: didn't see it. Does that fit your criteria there?

1978
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1979
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 4: Pretty much. That's like me claiming to be like a

1980
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 4: growing up in Chicago area and I'm a Bulls fan

1981
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 4: because of Michael Jordan. I never saw him play. It's

1982
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 4: like when I was growing up. It was because it's

1983
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 4: like Derek Rose in the bench Mob and like Ronnie

1984
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 4: Brewer running the baseline.

1985
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 3: You're watching the Bulls in the play in for the thirty.

1986
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:43,640
Speaker 4: I mean not now.

1987
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 2: I'm feeling really old right now, Mark Taketon, really old.

1988
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not ideal. Jef can claim them all. He

1989
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 3: can claim all three.

1990
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go.

1991
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 4: We at least you saw him. I mean that should

1992
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 4: be a criterier, right dad take way in.

1993
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: I watched the championship game when they won the perfect

1994
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:00,679
Speaker 1: undef feed season.

1995
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's fine, Like I think that's that's a commendable.

1996
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 4: You saw it happen.

1997
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 2: I was a kid, but I watched.

1998
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 4: It's fine.

1999
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 3: You saw the wilt Chamberlain hundred point game in person too.

2000
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 2: I did not see the Wilt Chamberlain one. So the

2001
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 2: ticket that may have been before I was born, Mark.

2002
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 3: I'll ruth calls shot Mark, Yeah, you know what.

2003
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 2: On the JFK.

2004
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 1: But let me tell you about Ted williams uh Brandon

2005
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 1: from Greenwood Wrights.

2006
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: Guys, take a deep breath in with a good out

2007
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 2: with the bet.

2008
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be eighty degrees this weekend as we

2009
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: watch it snow outside the studio, just.

2010
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 4: In Tome, heating up, just in time for my trip

2011
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 4: to Newcastle. I want to stay at Steve Afford in

2012
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 4: so bad you'll be shorts and a T shirt out

2013
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 4: there and the old sit around there.

2014
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: All right, Rob black hopefully Rob Blackman comes your way next.

2015
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 1: I know he's been Wow, dude's been probably up all

2016
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 1: night traveling doing all kinds of Rob.

2017
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 2: We need job. He's the best. We'll do it next

2018
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 2: at ninety three five and one of the seven five.

2019
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 1: There you go a lot of people sitting a little

2020
01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: bit straighter up in their seats on the way to work.

2021
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 2: Work this morning.

2022
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: Purdue boiler Makers once again better than a top four seed,

2023
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: better than the number three seed, all the way up

2024
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: to number two as a seed in the West after

2025
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 1: running the table in the Big Ten Conference tournament in

2026
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: Chicago this past week. And the man who watched it

2027
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: all unfold right before his eyes joins us now in

2028
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: the Payless Lookers hotline. Our good friend Rob Blackman joins

2029
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: us this morning, Rob, take a deep. I'm probably you've

2030
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,560
Speaker 1: taken a few deep breasts since yesterday, But how about that?

2031
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 7: Well, good phrase?

2032
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 6: I think how about that?

2033
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 7: Well, I'd like to say I saw that coming the

2034
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 7: way Purdue had been struggling there late in the regular season.

2035
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 7: Just wasn't quite sure what we might see in Chicago,

2036
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,600
Speaker 7: But we did see a renewed sense of effort and

2037
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 7: enthusiasm on the defensive end. And I think it is

2038
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,879
Speaker 7: fair to say that was the difference maker, not only yesterday,

2039
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 7: quite frankly, but really in all four of those games.

2040
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 7: I mean, look, you guys may have already spoken about this,

2041
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 7: and I like Purdue shot the ball particularly well, you know,

2042
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 7: four of fourteen from three, and that was kind of

2043
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 7: the story of the whole week. For Due was not

2044
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:11,760
Speaker 7: a great shooting team, but for whatever reason, Produce found

2045
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 7: a renewed sense of purpose on the defensive ended man.

2046
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 7: That certainly seemed to make a big difference.

2047
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 2: Rob.

2048
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 4: I don't know how much you believe in artificial intelligence AI,

2049
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 4: but how about that number forty one Bradon Smith a

2050
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 4: little different than the one we had saw previously with

2051
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 4: the jersey you ripped.

2052
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 7: We kept joking on air, and I'm certain this was

2053
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 7: I wasn't the only one to think of this, but

2054
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:36,679
Speaker 7: we mentioned it multiple times. If he would have broken

2055
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 7: that assist record, does that mean that we would have

2056
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 7: had to send the number forty one to Springfield? And

2057
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 7: that would have been odd? Twenty years from now, you're

2058
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:49,599
Speaker 7: walking through the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, you're

2059
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 7: like Purdue number forty one?

2060
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 6: Who was that? I don't remember that guy?

2061
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 7: But yeah, that's it. I mean, just kind of adds

2062
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:59,640
Speaker 7: to his legacy, doesn't it. It's so crazy that that

2063
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 7: he he had What Eleven says as he wrote Turnovers yesterday, Mike,

2064
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 7: here's a guy to me, and I don't even know

2065
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 7: the best way to phrase this, but how about a

2066
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 7: guy that gets named the tournament's most outstanding player, yet

2067
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 7: in the four games that he played, only scored in

2068
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:17,639
Speaker 7: double figures in one game.

2069
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 6: One game.

2070
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 7: The other three games, if you remember, he scored five

2071
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 7: points in all three of the games, fifteen total points

2072
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:26,479
Speaker 7: in the other three games. He has still named the

2073
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 7: tournament's most outstanding player. So that is yeah, that's a

2074
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 7: hell of a story. And then to finish it off

2075
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 7: by wearing the number forty one jersey, that just adds

2076
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 7: to the to the what will someday be some great

2077
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 7: folklore to set around and talk about with Purdue basketball fans.

2078
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 3: The Purdue Global Radio Network where you hear the great

2079
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 3: Rob Blackman barby Ridel of course, and they are off

2080
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 3: to Saint Louis Friday seven thirty five, it'll be purduing

2081
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 3: Queens in the two fifteen matchup. Rob, First, thank you

2082
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,639
Speaker 3: for the time, because I know obviously it was a busy,

2083
01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:59,640
Speaker 3: busy week in Chicago for you, And I kind of

2084
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 3: want to go back to what you said earlier, like

2085
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:03,760
Speaker 3: if you look at their defensive effort, I want to

2086
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 3: say Nebraska is their third lowest scoring total of the season, UCLAO,

2087
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 3: I believe, was their fifth lowest, and then Michigan their

2088
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 3: sixth lowest. Like, you win the Big Ten tournament, that

2089
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 3: is a hell of an accomplishment, especially in a year

2090
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 3: like this, But the way they won it I think

2091
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 3: is almost the most impressive aspect of like it's the

2092
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,479
Speaker 3: biggest question mark we've had all year long with this team.

2093
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 3: That's how they wanted it. They didn't win it in

2094
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,680
Speaker 3: ninety to eighty eight shootouts, which I think they can win,

2095
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 3: but winning it in that manner, I'm curious just what

2096
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 3: that'll do for them psyche wise heading into a tournament

2097
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 3: where inevitably you're going to need some of that.

2098
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you know, I'm always a bit cautious because

2099
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 7: I was at the that was courtside when Purdue won

2100
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 7: the Big Ten Tournament the last time and then went

2101
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 7: to Columbus and lost to a sixteen seed. So I'm

2102
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 7: always cautious about just how much momentum does a Big

2103
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 7: Ten Tournament win really provide you going into the NCAAA tournament.

2104
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 7: But with that being said, it does certainly feel like, yes,

2105
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 7: Purdue has put it together at the right time, and

2106
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 7: especially on the defensive end. One of the big talking

2107
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 7: points with the coaching staff when they were with the

2108
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:19,640
Speaker 7: team late Saturday night and then again Sunday morning with

2109
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 7: their film review, was that look, guys, when we played

2110
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 7: Michigan the first time, we scored forty eight points on

2111
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 7: them in the second half. Forty eight points on the

2112
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 7: second best defense in the country. If you look at

2113
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 7: a just deficient defensive efficiency numbers, we own forty eight

2114
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 7: points on these guys. Scoring against these guys is not

2115
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 7: going to be a concern. But can we continue to

2116
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 7: show the improvement we have on the defensive end in

2117
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 7: this tournament? And you saw that yesterday, and yes, to

2118
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 7: your point, if you look at all four games as

2119
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 7: a whole, defensively, Purdue has taken a step in the

2120
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 7: right direction. I don't think there's any way around that.

2121
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 7: I would also add this. I was at the practices

2122
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 7: leading into the Big Gin Tournament, and I hope they

2123
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 7: I don't think they would mind me sharing this with you.

2124
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,240
Speaker 7: The first practice on day one that was all defense.

2125
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 7: There was no there were no offensive drills in that

2126
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,600
Speaker 7: two hour practice session. It was a it was a

2127
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 7: point of emphasis from the coaching staff that Cumbhill or

2128
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 7: high Water, we're going to get back to being a

2129
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 7: team that can guard a little bit here. And you know,

2130
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 7: obviously that worked at least for you know, this four

2131
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 7: game stretch, and now you hope that that again renewed

2132
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 7: sense of purpose on the defensive end carries you, that

2133
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,799
Speaker 7: carries with you into the NCAA tournament.

2134
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 3: Rob I kind of felt very similar to the Cult

2135
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. They gave the MVP to Peyton Manning. I

2136
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 3: thought Dominique Rhodes should have gotten it, or maybe even

2137
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 3: Joseph and Die. In that game, Braden sets the record

2138
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 3: for assist in a Big ten tournament, so I fully

2139
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 3: understand why he won it, But man, I thought Oscar

2140
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 3: Cloff deserved it. I just thought he was so good

2141
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 3: throughout all four of those games.

2142
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 7: Oh, just look at the numbers. What twenty I think

2143
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 7: yesterday was twenty one and five, twenty one and six,

2144
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 7: and we kept harping on this in the broadcast. And

2145
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 7: ten against Northwestern, twelve and ten or nine against Nebraska,

2146
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:13,760
Speaker 7: seventeen and fourteen against UCLA. Yes, I mean average the

2147
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 7: double double. If you look at the actually, if you

2148
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 7: would look at his numbers from last year at South

2149
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,559
Speaker 7: Dakota State when he was seventeen and twelve, they were

2150
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 7: very similar. And look, it's one thing to do it

2151
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 7: at South Dakota State, no knock on those guys, but

2152
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 7: to do it in a Big ten tournament against Big

2153
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 7: ten competition, my point being, I.

2154
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:34,640
Speaker 6: Would wholeheartedly agree with you.

2155
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 7: I felt like he was produced best player, certainly most

2156
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,759
Speaker 7: consistent player through that four game stretch, and quite frankly,

2157
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:45,680
Speaker 7: if we're handing out, you know, honorable mentions for outstanding

2158
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 7: Player of the tournament, I think Trey Kaufman Wren and

2159
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 7: Fletcher Lawyer too would have been right there in the

2160
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:56,600
Speaker 7: voting process, which, to me, again is exactly what.

2161
01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 6: You would want.

2162
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 7: You know, if you're going to go out anyway in

2163
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 7: the postseason, you're going to go out with your four

2164
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:06,679
Speaker 7: seniors that play the minutes most minutes, you know, swinging

2165
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 7: in fighting to the very end. And that's what that's

2166
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 7: what Purdue fans saw. And again you you hope this

2167
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,440
Speaker 7: continues on the Saint Louis.

2168
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:21,240
Speaker 1: Talking to Rob Blackman, voice O the Brdue boiler Makers

2169
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 1: here at ninety three five and one O seven to

2170
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 1: five the fan Payless Lickuers hotline. That stretch for about

2171
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 1: five minutes in the second half yesterday, the game was

2172
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,639
Speaker 1: starting to get tight, and Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman

2173
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 1: Wren just started playing the two man game, and man,

2174
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 1: did they play that upside the head of Michigan. Have

2175
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 1: you seen them be more efficient for a concentrated period

2176
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: of time than they were for that five minutes yesterday?

2177
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 7: I have, Jeff, but never against that level of competition. Well,

2178
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:53,200
Speaker 7: you know I should not say that. Last year against

2179
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 7: Houston in the sweet sixteen. Purdue also found a nice

2180
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 7: thing about PJ Thompson, who I think most pretty fans

2181
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:03,679
Speaker 7: no calls the offense, runs the offense. If he finds

2182
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:06,640
Speaker 7: something that's working, he does not go away from it.

2183
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 7: He will go to the well twenty straight times if

2184
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 7: he thinks he can get a bucket, which to me

2185
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:13,519
Speaker 7: is what that's good coaching, right, I mean, you figure

2186
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 7: out something that works, why would you ever go away

2187
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 7: from it? PJ never goes away from it until you

2188
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 7: stop it. But yeah, and you guys saw it right.

2189
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 6: Purdue was just run on.

2190
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 7: That little two man game with a ball screen, and

2191
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,439
Speaker 7: two things are going to happen. If you got to switch,

2192
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 7: then Braden was going to back out and try to

2193
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 7: take a Diamarra off the bounce. And if they didn't

2194
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 7: get to switch, then they just pocket pasted it in

2195
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:37,640
Speaker 7: there to to Trey and he was man, was he?

2196
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 7: He was playing like a man among boys yesterday. But yes,

2197
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 7: and someone pointed this out to me. I don't know

2198
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,479
Speaker 7: if this is true, but apparently Perdue went from number

2199
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 7: two to number one in an adjusted offensive efficiency after

2200
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 7: that game yesterday, And f indeed that is true, I'm

2201
01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 7: thinking to myself, Yeah, probably because that was about as

2202
01:37:57,479 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 7: efficient offensively as Purdue could have been yesterday. And it

2203
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 7: really all came down as stilly as it sounds to

2204
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 7: just running the same play over and over and over

2205
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 7: and over.

2206
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 4: So rob the last one from me. When it comes

2207
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 4: to the ripped number three jersey, do we just restitch that?

2208
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 4: Does he get a new jersey? Is he wearing forty one?

2209
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 4: Moving forward? These are questions that are very demanding right

2210
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:19,719
Speaker 4: now for the fan base.

2211
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:22,840
Speaker 7: James, I can tell you're a media and there just

2212
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:27,240
Speaker 7: like me, because I actually just by dumb luck. On

2213
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 7: the bus ride home yesterday, I sat with our equipment manager.

2214
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,559
Speaker 7: We set together, and I asked him the same question,

2215
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:37,799
Speaker 7: and this is how the process works. Number one, Purdue

2216
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:42,679
Speaker 7: does have a backup number three jersey of the same

2217
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 7: color and everything with Smith on the back, but it

2218
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 7: was back at West Lafayette. So there is a backup jersey.

2219
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 7: So number one, they did stitch let me back up.

2220
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 7: They did stitch the jersey back up at halftime, but

2221
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:58,600
Speaker 7: it looks so terrible they chose not to wear it.

2222
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 7: He could have worn it in the second hand, but

2223
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 7: it was so ugly, looked like Frankenstein's face from what

2224
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 7: I'm told, so they chose not to put it back

2225
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 7: on him. But they do have a backup jersey back

2226
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 7: in West Lafayette that they can use. And plus, our

2227
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 7: equipment guy had already spoken to the folks at Nike

2228
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 7: and they promised them they will have them a new

2229
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 7: one before the week is over, so they have.

2230
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 6: A backup to the backup.

2231
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,639
Speaker 7: So all could be fine with the black Nike jersey.

2232
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 7: That'says Purdue across the chest.

2233
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 4: All right, I guess we should be fine with some

2234
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 4: of these equipment issues as long as they keep winning.

2235
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 3: Right, who was doing the stitching? I want to know.

2236
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 3: We've got a Grandmauthor singer machine down there in the

2237
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 3: basement of the United Center.

2238
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 7: The Chicago Bulls or black Hawks actually have a seamstress

2239
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:40,719
Speaker 7: on the whole time salary.

2240
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 4: I love them.

2241
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 3: I don't know we know anything at all, rob about

2242
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:49,240
Speaker 3: Queen's Saint Louis. I'm trying to think Purdue is in play.

2243
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 3: I don't even know the last time Purdue would have

2244
01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 3: played and said, I think that's where arch madness is.

2245
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 3: You got anything for us on Friday night? The location

2246
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 3: of the team.

2247
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 7: I took about five minutes on the bus tried at

2248
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 7: home to look up their stats. The one thing that

2249
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 7: jumped off the page, I mean, really two things. They

2250
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 7: scored a bunch of points. I mean they had I

2251
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 7: don't know how many games this year they've scored ninety,

2252
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 7: but they've also given up a bunch of points. They've

2253
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 7: had a bunch of teams scored ninety or one hundred

2254
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 7: against them. That was the first thing that caught my attention.

2255
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,639
Speaker 7: The second thing was they do have six guys averaging

2256
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:23,960
Speaker 7: double digit scoring, which to me is a that's a

2257
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 7: pretty unique number. I can't think of the last time

2258
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 7: DUE played a team where the other other team had

2259
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 7: six guys at average double digits. So apparently this group

2260
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 7: has no trouble scoring the ball. Didn't sound like they

2261
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 7: are very good defensively, but again that's that's just with

2262
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:39,639
Speaker 7: a quick look at the stats, and I was quite frankly,

2263
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 7: way too tired to do more than five minutes with

2264
01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:43,640
Speaker 7: the work last night. So that's about all I know

2265
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:44,320
Speaker 7: on those guys.

2266
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: Always great to talk to you, Rob, get some rest,

2267
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: rest that voice coming up Friday night, Saint Louis seven

2268
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 1: thirty five against Queens, Round one of the NCAA Tournament.

2269
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 2: Right back where they're supposed to be, right.

2270
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,560
Speaker 7: Well, that's where we all thought we'd be with it

2271
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 7: all heard it.

2272
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 6: It looked a little looked a little harry there for

2273
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 6: a while. But yes, we're back where we thought we'd beat.

2274
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 2: You did a great job pulling it out for us there, Rob,

2275
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,680
Speaker 2: keep it going. Okay, thank you, Gutch, Here you go.

2276
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 2: And he's the best Rob Blackman man.

2277
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,640
Speaker 1: We are so lucky between and we've said this a

2278
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 1: million times for between him and Don to have the

2279
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,280
Speaker 1: play by play guys at the big ten schools that

2280
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 1: we have here in this state.

2281
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 3: Is unbelievable, excellent, excellent, and I mean take a step further,

2282
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:30,559
Speaker 3: whether you want to go, Mark James, Mark Boyle, Greg

2283
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 3: Greg Straw. Yeah, just and I'm forgetting people here, Pat Boyler,

2284
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 3: I mean just excellent, excellent, excellent, certainly Christenry speaking of

2285
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 3: Chris Queen's had a guy by named Chris Ashby when

2286
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 3: they won their conference championship game to send them to

2287
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:50,719
Speaker 3: the Big Dance. This dude shot the ball nineteen times

2288
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 3: in their conference tournament championship game. All nineteen attempts were

2289
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 3: from behind the arc, and he made ten of them.

2290
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 3: Ten of night nineteen from behind the art.

2291
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 2: What would Rob say? If it's worked and keep doing it?

2292
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 3: Forty three minutes ten of nineteen from three for Chris

2293
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 3: Ashby in that game he had thirty four points to

2294
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 3: get a foul line a few times. So yeah, very balanced,

2295
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 3: as Rob said, and uh not afraid to shoot from

2296
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 3: behind the arc.

2297
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 2: Those are JMB three point numbers right.

2298
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 4: There, James. Not when I'm guarding him. Oh no, you're

2299
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,240
Speaker 4: not even getting off nineteen looks. But if you leave

2300
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 4: them open, you're dead. Or as he likes to say,

2301
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 4: he's short, and that's usual when it's wishing.

2302
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 3: I have a feeling CJ. Cox will be chasing Chris

2303
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 3: Ashby around quite a bit from it.

2304
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:34,320
Speaker 4: Man, get those what normal tech boots out and get

2305
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:35,040
Speaker 4: those legs.

2306
01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 2: Ready something all right, Mark, let's check it down.

2307
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,720
Speaker 8: The morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh

2308
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:44,680
Speaker 8: seven five the.

2309
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Fan and just psychotic weather outside goes from being a

2310
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: blizzard to Sonny to a blizzard to Sonny the blizzard and.

2311
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:55,680
Speaker 2: It's Sonny again right now. I'll take it all right,

2312
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 2: But it's sunny right now.

2313
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:58,640
Speaker 1: For Purdue, after a little bit of a blizzard at

2314
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 1: the end of their regular season, they earn a number

2315
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: two seed after running the table in the Big Ten tournament.

2316
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 1: They beat Michigan yesterday in the final eighty to seventy two.

2317
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 1: You heard Rob Blackman talking about it a minute ago.

2318
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:12,800
Speaker 1: Great game for an Oscar Kluff, great game for Trey

2319
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: Kaufman wren great game for Braden Smith. He's the tournament MVP,

2320
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: needs just two more assists to pass Bobby Hurley on

2321
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: the all time NCAA assists record list. But going back

2322
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: to Trey Kaufman Wren, man, is he tough to stop

2323
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 1: in that two men game with he and Braden Smith?

2324
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:30,680
Speaker 1: And he talked about the emotions and the feelings of

2325
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:32,720
Speaker 1: that tournament win afterwards.

2326
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's just you know, Crey Can, I'm gonna come

2327
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 3: out give you those pocket passes. Let's gonna be get

2328
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 3: it from on five, you know, it's all these guys

2329
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,479
Speaker 3: pj G make those shots.

2330
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:47,599
Speaker 1: I think what was impressive though about that two men

2331
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 1: game with tray Coaufman Wren is he was getting buckets inside.

2332
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 1: That's a big, strong, formidable front line that Michigan has.

2333
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:56,600
Speaker 2: You're not just going against anybody there, Kevin.

2334
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 3: Right, and they had struggled so mightily in the first matchup.

2335
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 3: I thought, finishing two that length Traykoff, Moran oscar Clough

2336
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 3: and they were great yesterday again, I thought Fletcher Lawyer

2337
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 3: shot it beautifully throughout the tournament. And that's you know,

2338
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 3: something Rob mentioned there. Purdue just won the Big Ten tournament.

2339
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 3: They led for one hundred and fifty two or one

2340
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty three of one hundred and sixty minutes,

2341
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 3: and they didn't even shoot it that well as a team,

2342
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 3: particularly Braydon Smith. So you know, is there another level

2343
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 3: they could get to. I know it sounds a little crazy,

2344
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 3: but you could say that really so quite impressive and

2345
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 3: well well deserved there for another Big Ten Tournament title.

2346
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 1: They'll be in Saint Louis Friday nights seven thirty five

2347
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:40,639
Speaker 1: tip time. They'll go up against Queen's the number fifteen seed,

2348
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 1: out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Kevin was talking about them

2349
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:46,240
Speaker 1: a moment ago and James we mentioned it earlier today.

2350
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 2: But the Boilers now.

2351
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: A top four seed in their last nine nc DOUBLEA

2352
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: tournament appearances. Look, they get a national title, whether it's

2353
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 1: this year or the next couple of years. They are

2354
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 1: blue blood in the NCUBA at this point, aren't they.

2355
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the sustained success is admirable and it's hard to

2356
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:07,560
Speaker 4: win in March, and so them continue. You need to

2357
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:09,679
Speaker 4: put themselves a position to do that at a high level.

2358
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 4: Is commendable, all right.

2359
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers lose to the Milwaukee Bucks at home yesterday,

2360
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 1: won thirty four one twenty three. Great game for aaron

2361
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 1: Ne Smith while he played, scored thirty two, a career high.

2362
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: But then he and ivetts Zubats and TJ McConnell didn't

2363
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: even play in.

2364
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter.

2365
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: Andrew nem Hard and Pascal Siakam didn't play at all.

2366
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: The Pacers now dropped the fifteen and fifty three. They've

2367
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 1: lost thirteen games in a row. I know that's what

2368
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be doing, but it just still feels weird.

2369
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:39,679
Speaker 1: I'll keep saying it just feels odd.

2370
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 3: They almost won Friday with New York. That was actually

2371
01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:45,120
Speaker 3: pretty competitive there in the fourth quarter.

2372
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 4: But it's in New York.

2373
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly who they play tomorrow, And just to reiterate,

2374
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 3: like they can afford wins, and I say that plurally,

2375
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 3: like they're in a position right now where you know,

2376
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,559
Speaker 3: the odds are the same whether the first worst team,

2377
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 3: second worst team, and the third team, they all have

2378
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 3: the same odds at the top four pick in the

2379
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 3: first pick overall. So if you are a Pacer fan

2380
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,639
Speaker 3: and you are sick and tired of watching the loss

2381
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:10,640
Speaker 3: aspect to it, you can afford to cheer for a

2382
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:12,800
Speaker 3: win or two and your team still should be just fun.

2383
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 1: Does Ri Carlole, if everybody's healthy, put them together the

2384
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: available players that are healthy in the last say April,

2385
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 1: the last four or five games, because you just put

2386
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 1: them together to see how they all play together at some.

2387
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 3: Point in time, Yeah, I would assume. I mean, it

2388
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 3: seems like they're trying to do that right now. Siakam is,

2389
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 3: you know, with the Nis brain. But yeah, I mean

2390
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,760
Speaker 3: Zubots played what all I mean, Zubots played in back

2391
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 3: to back.

2392
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm surprised by that.

2393
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 3: You know, I was not thinking that was going to

2394
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 3: happen late last week. So again they'll go back to

2395
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 3: back Tuesday Wednesday, so we'll see about and Zubots and company.

2396
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 1: All Right, high school basketball getting closer and closer. Semi

2397
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:50,640
Speaker 1: State coming up on Saturday. Any big surprises for you

2398
01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 1: this past weekend.

2399
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:58,799
Speaker 4: Not necessarily for me. I picked Mount Vernon's a knockoff

2400
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 4: Pike sound player this year and it was another great

2401
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:04,320
Speaker 4: game overtime for both of those, so they survived the advance.

2402
01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:07,600
Speaker 4: They'll face Decatur Central over at Newcastle and then I

2403
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 4: guess maybe a little surprised that Carmel didn't get through

2404
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 4: over Fort Wayne Snyder. I know that they were still

2405
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:16,439
Speaker 4: a favorite even without Cash Daniels, but Shott Snyder forgetting

2406
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 4: it done.

2407
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:17,599
Speaker 6: All right.

2408
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 2: Women's college basketball.

2409
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 1: Number one seeds in the NCAA Tournament will be Yukon,

2410
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina, UCLA, and Texas and Kevin.

2411
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 2: A number six seed interest you at all?

2412
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that had a great end to the season there

2413
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 3: for the Irish, So yeah, there'll be a sixth seed

2414
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:35,799
Speaker 3: fairfield to it will be opposite in round one Ohio

2415
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 3: State if they win. We mentioned some local connections thank you,

2416
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 3: depressed and for pointing this out earlier. Ascelin Shade, former

2417
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 3: Noblesville player, ended her prep career at Lata Lumiere, she

2418
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 3: is still a key player for the Yukon women's team,

2419
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 3: and per usual, they are a one seed there.

2420
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 1: All Right pointed it out about thirty minutes ago. But

2421
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 1: for the seventh year in a row, the Marion women's

2422
01:47:55,680 --> 01:48:00,519
Speaker 1: basketball team onto THENIA National Tournament Round of sixteen. They

2423
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: get there with a seventy to forty seven win on

01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 1: Saturday night against Columbia College in the naia's second round.

2425
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,439
Speaker 1: They are thirty one and two overall. They've won fourteen

2426
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,600
Speaker 1: games in a row. So go Mariyon Knights. Also for

2427
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 1: women's basketball team USA, a winner over New Zealand one

2428
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 1: on one, forty six yesterday, Caitlin Clark got the starter,

2429
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 1: first start of the World Cup tournament there fourteen points,

2430
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:28,599
Speaker 1: six assists. It's a qualifying tournament, they've already qualified through

2431
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:29,400
Speaker 1: previous play.

2432
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 2: But she doesn't look like she's lost a beat now

2433
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 2: that she's healthy. She's doing her thing.

2434
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:33,720
Speaker 1: Man.

2435
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Glad's here back out there, and we know how

2436
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:38,639
Speaker 4: much she missed the game, and certainly the game missed her.

2437
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 1: A World Baseball class at the United States beat the

2438
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:43,120
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic two to one in a great game

2439
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:45,760
Speaker 1: last night. Now now play the winner of Italy Venezuela,

2440
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: who clashed tonight, and then tomorrow night they'll play for

2441
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:52,800
Speaker 1: the whole bollo as somehow, some way they survived the

2442
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs.

2443
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 5: Manager along the way, Mark Dykton, He's not the Cubs

2444
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 5: manager at all.

2445
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 3: He played for the Cubs. I'm just giving you a

2446
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:02,600
Speaker 3: back counsels the manager and has been for a.

2447
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 2: Couple of years. Just are you paying attention back there?

2448
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:07,759
Speaker 3: I'm paying attention?

2449
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 6: All right? There we go.

2450
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 2: Also, anything else you guys want to throw in before

2451
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 2: we head for the week.

2452
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:15,160
Speaker 3: Did you mention Kyle Kirkwood.

2453
01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 1: At the ind Yeah, I mentioned a couple times this morning,

2454
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 1: but we'll do it now. One Indy car yesterday down

2455
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: at Arlington. Just going to show that Alex Plow is

2456
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: not going to run away from everything because Kyle Kirkwood

2457
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 1: didn't have the easiest run yesterday, a couple of late

2458
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 1: pit stops that didn't go his way, but he found

2459
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: a way to get it done.

2460
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2461
01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 3: A great day for Andretti in general. Will power after

2462
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 3: a very very poor start.

2463
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 4: Love his name. That's a great driving name, racing name.

2464
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 3: Three in the top four there for Andretti racing with

2465
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:44,759
Speaker 3: Marcus Erickson who had qualified on the pole there, Alex

Speaker 3: Indy Car. They'll round it out this month in Arbor.

2468
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 2: Now that Mark's awake.

2469
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:51,640
Speaker 4: Two.

2470
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:55,120
Speaker 2: You do look good in that Hammond Bears jersey there.

2471
01:49:55,200 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 5: Well, considering what the weather looked like, I wasn't sure

2472
01:49:57,479 --> 01:49:59,360
Speaker 5: what the hell I was signing enough for this morning

2473
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,080
Speaker 5: with the weather great out there right now. Yeah, now

2474
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 5: it looks like it's gonna be I'm gonna be peeling

2475
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:04,679
Speaker 5: off layers.

2476
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:06,760
Speaker 3: But I don't know I know about that.

2477
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, coming up at a minute, we'll talk

2478
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:13,560
Speaker 1: more about the uh who's who of free agent acquisitions

2479
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,720
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts and where they go next as

2480
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 1: we continue ninety three to five, and there you go.

2481
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:22,759
Speaker 2: We will probably have a NANCAA.

2482
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 1: Tournament record broken early in Purdue's game Friday night in

2483
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 1: Saint Louis against Queens. We've been talking about it this morning,

2484
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 1: but just think about this kid, the short, skinny kid

2485
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:39,560
Speaker 1: from Westfield Indiana plays all four years at Purdue, and

2486
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:43,040
Speaker 1: he will walk away regardless of whether Purdue goes deep

2487
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 1: into this tournament, wins the whole thing, whatever, But barring

2488
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: unforeseen circumstance, Kevin Braden Smith will walk away as the

2489
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 1: nc double a's all time leader and assists.

2490
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:55,640
Speaker 2: That is insane great basketball.

2491
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 3: He's one of the greatest players college basketball players ever

2492
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:01,400
Speaker 3: play in the state period and obviously one of the

2493
01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:02,720
Speaker 3: best players ever in the Big Ten.

2494
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean, go on and on with this.

2495
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 3: And you know, last week after that Northwestern game when

2496
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 3: he had whatever, he had sixteen assists and like one turnover,

2497
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:12,880
Speaker 3: I tried to compare him to Jack Everley of the

2498
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 3: symphony orchestra here in town. I mean, he's the maestro

2499
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 3: of it all. He's the quarterback, yeah, of it all.

2500
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:21,759
Speaker 3: And even in a four game stretch where he didn't

2501
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 3: have the shooting prowess that he typically has, he still

2502
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 3: impacts the game at an extraordinarily high level. I love

2503
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,280
Speaker 3: the moment Friday night against Nebraska. Nebraska's kind of making

2504
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:34,560
Speaker 3: a little run here because either the under twelve or

2505
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 3: under eight one of those media timeouts, and they came

2506
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:40,360
Speaker 3: back from breaking they showed a very demonstrative Braden Smith

2507
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 3: in the huddle, you know, kind of imploring his team

2508
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:45,800
Speaker 3: to dig in, and that lead was starting to you know,

2509
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 3: it wasn't getting real real close, but it was starting to.

2510
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 3: And that's the type of leadership that I think you

2511
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:51,680
Speaker 3: love to see from.

2512
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be something to watch on Friday night as

2513
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:58,559
Speaker 1: the tournament starts. You'd think they'd be okay against Queens,

2514
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: and then you look throughout the rest of that that

2515
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 1: bracket and if you know, you talk about if Seeds

2516
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 1: go according to plan, they would play Miami next, who's

2517
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:12,519
Speaker 1: the seven ten against Missouri and then number three seeds

2518
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 1: Gonzaga might await them. But Gonzaga and BYU, that could

2519
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: be an unbelievable matchup.

2520
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:21,600
Speaker 2: James Boyd, A j Bons Gonzaga. Yeah, I don't know

2521
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 2: who's gonna come out of that right there.

2522
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:24,559
Speaker 4: You know who I've been thinking about a lot though,

2523
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 4: aside from the players on the court, and AJ is

2524
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:29,760
Speaker 4: someone I'm gonna watch heavily just because he could be

2525
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:32,640
Speaker 4: a pacer here in a few months. Greg Gumbel, I

2526
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:35,120
Speaker 4: know it's been over a year, but man, I was

2527
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:37,600
Speaker 4: thinking about him a lot because this is like his

2528
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 4: forte and then you know, being the sports media nerd

2529
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 4: that I am, it's like when you have a guy

2530
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:47,760
Speaker 4: who can make these big moments feel so what's the

2531
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:52,840
Speaker 4: word homie and like personal to you. I love that

2532
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 4: about what he brought to the sports. So shout out

2533
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 4: to him and his family.

2534
01:52:56,040 --> 01:52:56,200
Speaker 6: Man.

2535
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 4: It's a little different. Obviously we can't have all the

2536
01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:00,840
Speaker 4: great stay around forever, but hell, it's certainly one of them.

2537
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 1: All right, So that's an NCAA tournament quick look ahead.

2538
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:05,600
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about it all week long. Here at

2539
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 1: ninety three, five one or seventy the fan talk about

2540
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 1: the Colts again.

2541
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 2: They did fortify themselves.

2542
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 1: I suppose at the safety position they resigned Moley Cox.

2543
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,720
Speaker 1: Anything to write home about, get excited about? Or is

2544
01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:19,920
Speaker 1: the biggest piece of news is.

2545
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 2: That Simone Biles husband Jonathan Owens is coming to town.

2546
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:28,280
Speaker 4: Probably the biggest news as far as the blogs go

2547
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 4: and in the way TMZ works, is probably that Simone

2548
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 4: Bowles will be in Lucas Oil Stadium at some point.

2549
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, no big big signings of note. I would say,

2550
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,800
Speaker 4: if you're trying to just rank them, the most newsworthy

2551
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:43,040
Speaker 4: one to me is probably the jan Ye Thomas signing

2552
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 4: because he could be your starting safety this upcoming season,

2553
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 4: replacing Nick Cross. But yeah, no headliners and still some big,

2554
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 4: big holes to fill when it comes to linebacker, and

2555
01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:56,160
Speaker 4: even more so when it comes to defensive end.

2556
01:53:56,840 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 2: Where there's still pretty thin linebacker.

2557
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 1: Any chance that Will York could come back off injury

2558
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 1: and play play at linebacker, is he too?

2559
01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 2: Is he big enough to play linebacker?

2560
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2561
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 3: I think every down it might be a little bit

2562
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,519
Speaker 3: of a wish. And you know, again, this guy hasn't

2563
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 3: played in an NFL snap, so I think it's premature

2564
01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:16,200
Speaker 3: to pencil him into anything of a starting position. Can

2565
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 3: you have, you know, some intrigue and are you hopeful?

2566
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 3: Of course, and you know he obviously had a nice,

2567
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:24,799
Speaker 3: you know, rookie offseason there, but you know that remains

2568
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 3: to be seen. I wasn't too surprised to see both

2569
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 3: the tight end moves you mentioned Moiley Cox true Ogle

2570
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 3: Tree also will be back, so they should have their

2571
01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 3: same tight end depth chart from last season. Tyler Warren

2572
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 3: Mowiley Cox is a great blocker, so I think that's

2573
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 3: kind of the role that he fits in. Then Ogle Tree,

2574
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 3: I think in away is kind of a poor man's

2575
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 3: Oiley Cox. He also liked him on special teams. They

2576
01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:50,680
Speaker 3: did resign Lakwan Treadwell, former first round pick. I've kind

2577
01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 3: of been a practice squad guy here with the Colts,

2578
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:56,720
Speaker 3: a special teamer when when called up, I don't necessarily

2579
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 3: look for him to take on any sort of Michael

2580
01:54:58,960 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 3: Pittman junior roll or anything.

2581
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 6: Like that, but.

2582
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 3: That is just something to keep it on. By the way,

2583
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,200
Speaker 3: did you see where Pittman was when the trade was announced?

2584
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:09,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2585
01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 4: I believe he was in Uganda or he was overseas

2586
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 4: with his brother on like a hunting trip.

2587
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:20,360
Speaker 3: He was in Uganda on a two week safari fishing

2588
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 3: hunting trip. Yes, with his brother. Said that the Wi

2589
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:27,960
Speaker 3: Fi only really worked like in the corner of some room,

2590
01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 3: and so he's on like three g Wi Fi kind

2591
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:33,920
Speaker 3: of got wind. I guess a couple hours before the trade.

2592
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,640
Speaker 3: This is something that that could happen here. But yeah,

2593
01:55:36,680 --> 01:55:39,000
Speaker 3: his brother booked it. I guess a couple of years ago,

2594
01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:41,520
Speaker 3: thinking oh, you're under contract, he'll be good. Start a

2595
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:45,160
Speaker 3: free agency. There's nothing to worry about. Here's Michael Pittman junior.

2596
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 3: He had he had to stop the trip, Short said

2597
01:55:46,840 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 3: he owed it to the Steelers to come home and

2598
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 3: see his new team a little bit earlier. That's a

2599
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 3: hell of a journey for that carrier pigeon to deliver

2600
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 3: that message. Unbelievable. And then his flight path home was wild.

2601
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:00,480
Speaker 3: There he was listing off where he fle through. I

2602
01:56:00,520 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 3: mean just he was like four flights or something like

2603
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:06,360
Speaker 3: that to get to play. Is a unique cat man him.

2604
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,640
Speaker 4: And now he's still looking out and trying to get

2605
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 4: some people.

2606
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 3: To manage the Boone County acreage.

2607
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, but you're right he is to Jeff's point,

2608
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,720
Speaker 4: he has a lot of different interests. I mean again,

2609
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 4: I go back to that I joke with the Forest

2610
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:24,240
Speaker 4: Buckler about this. I think the Forest Buckner is one

2611
01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:26,480
Speaker 4: of God's favorites. You know, born in Hawaii. You know,

2612
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 4: great football player, hands, some beautiful family, all these things.

2613
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:32,839
Speaker 4: Pipman's kind of that same ilk. Like you're a professional

2614
01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:37,920
Speaker 4: football player, you also fly planes, you also own a farm,

2615
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:41,240
Speaker 4: beautiful family. Like well, I mean, what's left to accomplish?

2616
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 4: And so shout out to him one of one of

2617
01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:45,240
Speaker 4: those guys who you could always depend on to talk

2618
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:48,360
Speaker 4: real about the team, win, lose or draw. Literally when

2619
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 4: loser draw because my first game I covered for the

2620
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 4: Colts was a draw. So he's someone I'm gonna miss

2621
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 4: from a media comverage standpoint to Jeff's point, but also

2622
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:57,600
Speaker 4: he got a nice little bag to go over there

2623
01:56:57,640 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 4: for Pittsburgh as well, three years, fifty nine million, twenty

2624
01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 4: four million in guarantees.

2625
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:05,440
Speaker 3: Why he was in the tournament? Whys the thirteen seed there?

2626
01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:08,919
Speaker 3: They're in the tournament and they only they get Portland

2627
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 3: or that's their region. So from a travel standpoint, that

2628
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 3: worked out pretty well for the Is it the Rainbow

2629
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 3: Warriors or just.

2630
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 2: The Rainbow the Rainbow Warriors.

2631
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. Before last week, I had

2632
01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:23,360
Speaker 3: never heard of Queen's and I had never heard of

2633
01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 3: I didn't know California Baptist was the Division one school.

2634
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:28,600
Speaker 2: That's a new one for me.

2635
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:30,080
Speaker 4: That's because none of y'all go to church.

2636
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:31,480
Speaker 3: So they popped it up last night.

2637
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,600
Speaker 4: True, you know, shout Out, you know me and god Lockdan,

2638
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 4: So I know about that school.

2639
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't always go to church, but I do go.

2640
01:57:39,200 --> 01:57:41,000
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is, if you, hey, you could have

2641
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:45,080
Speaker 4: been there, California Baptists get saved.

2642
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:46,680
Speaker 5: What's the lowest seed. You guys have to go on

2643
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:48,240
Speaker 5: the farthest sun in your bracket so far?

2644
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 4: Oh A good question. It might be where's the where?

2645
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 4: Where where I gotta find my Arkansas this year? Kevin?

2646
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 4: Where's my like former great coach at a school that's

2647
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,120
Speaker 4: probably not like a blue blood but pretty much is

2648
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:02,879
Speaker 4: because the ani.

2649
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:06,400
Speaker 3: L Let's see, they were our loan Cinderella last year.

2650
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:11,920
Speaker 3: John Califerry and the Arkansas Razorbacks here Mark the ones

2651
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:15,120
Speaker 3: in the twos are so good, like one three seed

2652
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:17,120
Speaker 3: I don't trust at all, and it's probably because Notre

2653
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:20,720
Speaker 3: Dame should have beat them. Is Virginia Like Virginia's there

2654
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:23,040
Speaker 3: is a three and ironically they play right state the

2655
01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 3: Horizon League champ with of course a lot of Indiana

2656
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:27,600
Speaker 3: flavor in that one.

2657
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 1: I thought Wisconsin would win the Big Ten tournament once

2658
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 1: I saw them play at the end of the season.

2659
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 2: In the beginning of the tournament, Oh, they were shot

2660
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 2: away from that.

2661
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 7: I know.

2662
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: That's a team that to me would not be I

2663
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 1: would not want to have them on my draw.

2664
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:47,360
Speaker 4: I could see Iowa maybe making it too. Was sweet sixteen.

2665
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 2: About Tennessee.

2666
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:51,800
Speaker 4: Gosh, I don't think I was that good. I know,

2667
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna get the rest of like, well, who

2668
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 4: who they get matched up against? And it's like they

2669
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 4: don't have like a horrible pay. I think Vanderbilt will

2670
01:58:58,440 --> 01:59:00,320
Speaker 4: probably get them in the second round were able to

2671
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 4: get past Clemson. But I mean, you're asking me again.

2672
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 4: The question mark throughout there.

2673
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:08,080
Speaker 3: Was I will get Florida. That's that's eight nine playing

2674
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 3: the one.

2675
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, And you

2676
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 4: know Florida it's so funny.

2677
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 3: I mean, the defending national champ and I get they

2678
01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:17,960
Speaker 3: didn't bring back everybody, but like here they are whole

2679
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:19,160
Speaker 3: home one seed.

2680
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I looked at my bracket wrong. I thought I

2681
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 4: will be playing Vanderbilt. I take that back. I want

2682
01:59:24,360 --> 01:59:26,040
Speaker 4: to put that out there and say that was not

2683
01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 4: the right statement.

2684
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:30,520
Speaker 3: Now walk me through this. Florida is the one in

2685
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:35,720
Speaker 3: the South region. That region is where I'm not sure.

2686
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:41,879
Speaker 3: Hold up, Houston, the two seed is who Houston?

2687
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 4: What mm hm? You were saying that's not fair?

2688
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm Florida, I'm like, what the hell

2689
01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 3: can we kidding up with Houston in another region?

2690
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 4: Fair enough? Should I pick VCU too advance? Just because

2691
01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:59,200
Speaker 4: VCU seems like a team that always advances.

2692
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 3: You'd make Moley Cox happy.

2693
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to think of like what the post

2694
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:08,480
Speaker 4: of Wichita State used to always, you know, make a

2695
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:09,280
Speaker 4: run in the tournament.

2696
02:00:09,840 --> 02:00:11,720
Speaker 3: Mark, I've got Akron in the sweet sixteen. I watched

2697
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:14,000
Speaker 3: Akron play against Purdue earlier this year and I actually

2698
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:16,520
Speaker 3: thought they were pretty legit. And you know, we talked

2699
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 3: about this with the MAC a little bit.

2700
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,000
Speaker 4: Akron knocking off Texas Tech, well we got to get

2701
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 4: some upsets again.

2702
02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:25,000
Speaker 3: Texas Tech's got j JT topping out. Unfortunately, ACL one

2703
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,920
Speaker 3: of the best players in college basketball. He's out. And

2704
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:30,280
Speaker 3: again an Akron team that's twenty nine to five and

2705
02:00:30,440 --> 02:00:33,800
Speaker 3: challenged himself, try to challenge themselves from a non conference

2706
02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:38,160
Speaker 3: standpoint there, Alabama's been super jeckling high all year long.

2707
02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 3: So Mark, that's what all pencil in at twelve seed

2708
02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:42,800
Speaker 3: the Zips is that John Gross.

2709
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 4: That is John Gross, former Illinois coach. I remember he

2710
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:47,920
Speaker 4: got fired and then a press conference actor he got fired.

2711
02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:50,640
Speaker 5: I have Akron in my sweet sixteen also, Kevin, so

2712
02:00:50,720 --> 02:00:52,160
Speaker 5: we're on the same path there.

2713
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:54,160
Speaker 3: I have Mimi Miami Ohio.

2714
02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:56,200
Speaker 5: I'm assuming Miami Ohio is gonna beat SMU, and I

2715
02:00:56,240 --> 02:00:57,680
Speaker 5: have them beating Virginia.

2716
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 3: Mark. They're a second and a half pintint underdog. I

2717
02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:04,800
Speaker 3: know Miami of Ohio against s m U. I want

2718
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:08,280
Speaker 3: the whole city of Oxford being Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday

2719
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 3: night for that. I'm not filling one section, but yes,

2720
02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:11,640
Speaker 3: they'll be there.

2721
02:01:12,560 --> 02:01:12,880
Speaker 6: Wow.

2722
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:15,120
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what the population is, but we're

2723
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:19,120
Speaker 3: not talking about you, Mark.

2724
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:21,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with U NBC.

2725
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:26,120
Speaker 2: I mean from a population. Yeah, in the first a while.

2726
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Take it on, Howard.

2727
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:32,080
Speaker 4: I'm rocking with UNBC. I've seen it before, I'll see

2728
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:32,400
Speaker 4: it again.

2729
02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:35,680
Speaker 3: I'll never forget I watched that the Labradors.

2730
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:38,959
Speaker 4: I don't even know the Retrievers Retrievers.

2731
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,000
Speaker 3: I watched that the Lockerbye Pub all r P to

2732
02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 3: the Lockerby Pub. I'll never forget that.

2733
02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:44,200
Speaker 4: Guysh that was Why is that?

2734
02:01:44,280 --> 02:01:44,960
Speaker 2: After playing goal?

2735
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:46,160
Speaker 7: Is that?

2736
02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:48,760
Speaker 2: For what? After playing golf? You go to the locker

2737
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Bee Club?

2738
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 3: Oh, lockerby Pub?

2739
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:54,200
Speaker 2: I know pub got it all right?

2740
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Coming up with a mobile will put a big old

2741
02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:58,640
Speaker 1: bow on this show. Talk about what's ahead for college

2742
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:00,760
Speaker 1: basketball this week, and a couple of other things you

2743
02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:03,200
Speaker 1: may not have known it's next on ninety three five

2744
02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:06,160
Speaker 1: one or something five face. I was looking through the

2745
02:02:06,200 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 1: brackets over the break there, Kevin, and you want to

2746
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:09,440
Speaker 1: talk about a brutal draw.

2747
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:11,080
Speaker 2: Louisville.

2748
02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: They are sitting there in the East, right, and if

2749
02:02:15,120 --> 02:02:17,560
Speaker 1: they had to play every top seed along the way

2750
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:20,640
Speaker 1: that you know, as you advance, they first have to

2751
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:23,040
Speaker 1: get by South Florida, who, by the way, has won

2752
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 1: twenty five games this year. They win that one, they

2753
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:28,040
Speaker 1: probably have to play Michigan State. They win that one,

2754
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:29,840
Speaker 1: They probably got to play Yukon, they win that. When

2755
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,480
Speaker 1: they got to play Duke, they win that one, then

2756
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:37,320
Speaker 1: they get Florida or Houston, and then moving on from

2757
02:02:37,320 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 1: there they probably have to play.

2758
02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:41,720
Speaker 2: Out in Arizona. That is a brutal bath to a

2759
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 2: national championship.

2760
02:02:43,520 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I guess that's what happens when you're

2761
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:47,320
Speaker 3: a six seed, right, Yeah, I mean, like that's part

2762
02:02:47,360 --> 02:02:50,080
Speaker 3: of I guess, not getting one of the higher seeds. Yeah,

2763
02:02:50,080 --> 02:02:54,600
Speaker 3: I mean that East region in general, Dan Hurley, Rick Patino.

2764
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean you get Patino in self in round two. Izzoh,

2765
02:02:58,160 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 3: there's the three seed, by the way, I thought it

2766
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:01,720
Speaker 3: was cool that. I don't know if you guys saw

2767
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:04,480
Speaker 3: the Mick Cronan stopping Fletcher Lawyer and Braiden Smith in

2768
02:03:04,520 --> 02:03:07,160
Speaker 3: the handshake line, Like, I feel like you don't typically

2769
02:03:07,240 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 3: see that from the losing head coach. You know, when

2770
02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:12,040
Speaker 3: the winning head coach is shaking hands. Oh man, he

2771
02:03:12,120 --> 02:03:15,040
Speaker 3: might hug every player on the losing team, but the

2772
02:03:15,120 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 3: losing head coach. If you didn't see it, Mick Cronan,

2773
02:03:17,800 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 3: we seem the only watch the viral videos and press conferences,

2774
02:03:21,240 --> 02:03:23,400
