1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, and welcome into the Fan Morning Show.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: I was just reminded of Kevin Bowen is decked out

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: in green that it's Saint Patrick's Day today, in which

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: immediately James Boyd said, you'd be surprised to know that

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm not Irish.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: So good morning.

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: How are you.

8
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 4: I'm doing very good. Not feeling the luck of the

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 4: Irish this morning with the snow on the ground, but

10
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 4: we made it.

11
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: Boys.

12
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: It's like it's like Winnipeg out there right, just dry

13
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: blowing snow all over the place, frozen tundra.

14
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: How would you describe it? Winnipeg? Has that work for you?

15
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: Sure?

16
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 5: I've never been, but yeah, that's yeah, it's ugly, it's horrific.

17
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 5: I'm yeah, I'm ready for Friday when it's seventy degrees.

18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 5: Mark Dykton, thank you for wearing some green today.

19
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 6: No problem.

20
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 7: It was cold.

21
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 6: I take the hoodie off, but I'm like, okay, we're

22
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 6: in warm conditions. Now I can strip down a little bit.

23
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: You not great in there, but please don't strip down anymore.

24
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say you used to stripping.

25
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: I always use the excuse that I have green eyes.

26
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: Does that Workmark? Or not no, No, you actually were.

27
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: Some of them had heard that it's like sixth grade,

28
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 5: so I feel like I'm back in elementary.

29
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, it is a Tuesday.

30
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: We've got a lot going on.

31
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Not long after we got off the show yesterday, Butler

32
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: announced that that Motto will not be returning for a

33
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: fifth season, Dad saying that he's going to retire. But

34
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: it was some of his comments down the stretch kind

35
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: of felt like he was getting more and more uncomfortable

36
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: with his new day and age of nil hadn't quite

37
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: made his piece with how that's all going to work,

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: and no NCAA tournament appearances in four years, and he

39
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: just kind of sounds a little worn down by the

40
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: end of the year. Kevin, and I'm not so sure

41
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: that Butler didn't want like fresh legs to start moving forward.

42
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: So it kind of felt to me like maybe it

43
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: was kind of a mutual thing. But I don't know

44
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: that Dad's all that disappointed.

45
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's hard to say.

46
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame coach.

47
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 5: There's no denying that incredible run, particularly obviously at Ohio State.

48
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: I guess you could say maybe getting things started.

49
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 5: Butler as well, But yes, I would a more than often.

50
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: When we talked with him, I got done with the interview,

51
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 5: I think myself, that man does not sound like someone

52
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: that wants to be a part of this era of

53
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: college basketball. And I get it. There's a lot going on.

54
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: Clearly physically, he's dealt with a lot too. You know

55
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 5: that was a part of at the end of his

56
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: Ohio State ten year. For anybody that watches Butler player

57
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 5: goes to Butler games, he's laboring. And so you know

58
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 5: when Grant line Decker came out and it was like, yeah,

59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 5: that's coming back, I kind of was just like, okay,

60
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 5: but I took him out his word he's coming back,

61
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: and then I guess after the Big East Tournament he

62
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: thought about it for a few more days and decided

63
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 5: to hang it up.

64
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 6: So I'm fascinated to see what direction Butler moves in.

65
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 5: Because it's such a critical juncture for them with their

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 5: standing in the Big East and obviously the resources that

67
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 5: need to be a little bit more a plenty within

68
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 5: that basketball program, and you know, quite a pivotal time

69
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 5: for Grant line Decker making us for big, big hire.

70
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you used a great word there.

71
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: You and I both attended the last home game in which,

72
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, things were looking good and then all of

73
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, right out of the gate in the second half,

74
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: Creaton just kind of put him on.

75
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: Put it on him.

76
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: But even physically we could hear it in his voice

77
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: kind of as we did the interviews to your point,

78
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: But physically it looked like he was wearing down a

79
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: little bit too. He looked like it was hard for

80
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: him to get up and down the sidelines at times.

81
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yes, that is a part of it, but

82
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: also his words.

83
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 5: I mean, anytime he chatted with us or postgame prescottences,

84
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 5: I think he made it clear.

85
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: You know, there's one question was asked during the year.

86
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 5: I forget January February, one of us asked him something

87
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: about the state of college basketball, and he kind of

88
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 5: like met us and was like, oh, you mean minor

89
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: league pro basketball.

90
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 6: That's kind of what.

91
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so again, you know, whether it's Jay Wright

92
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: or whether it's you know, a coach K Mike Bray,

93
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: you know, Tony Bennett, you and all these coaches that

94
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: have hung it up here in recent years, and someone

95
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: might say man age wise, boy, they still feel like

96
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: they could get it done. It's a new age, and

97
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: I can understand if I had five hundred wins on

98
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: my resume and a couple final fours and a million

99
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: conference tournament titles, I'd probably not want to coach either.

100
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's where we're at today.

101
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: It is Saint Patrick's day, and Butler now starts to

102
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: look for a new head coach and a guy that

103
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: was one of his assistants back at the very beginning,

104
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: right around the turn of the century coaching at Akron

105
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: right now having some success over there.

106
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: What do you guys think about John Gross maybe returning

107
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: to Butler be a head coach for the Bulldogs. Is

108
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: that a target?

109
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: I don't see it necessarily because he's had so much

110
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: success at Akron, And I get that Butler has at

111
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 4: least in the past, like the Final four runs and

112
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: National Championship Game runs, But I don't see like a huge,

113
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 4: huge difference between two programs.

114
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I suppose the Butler folks would tell you

115
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: that they with the right guy at the Helm, they've

116
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: shown what's possible back to back Final four is a

117
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: spot in the National Championship Game.

118
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think anybody a Butler would sit here

119
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: and want to say that their programs in far with Akron.

120
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 5: I think from a conference standpoint and a TV contract standpoint,

121
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: they are two very different conferences. As Marie Ohio struggled

122
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 5: to even get in the tournament being in that conference

123
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: with a whatever thirty five and one record, whatever, it

124
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 5: end up being thirty three and one. So I do

125
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 5: think it would be an upgrade for John Gross to

126
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 5: come to Butler. You know a guy that I would

127
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: look into is PJ. Thompson at Purdue. You know, when

128
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 5: you talk about Indie ties, you talk about someone that

129
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: Matt Painter has given unbelievable decision making with that offense,

130
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: the best offense in college basketball, and has been through

131
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: you know, the Ed era now the post Ed era.

132
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little bit of a flyer.

133
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 5: Obviously it's a first time head coach, but he was

134
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 5: someone that kind of popped in on line. I would

135
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 5: assume Ronald nored is probably viewed as the favorite just

136
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 5: given Grant Line Deckers ties, Given Gordon Hayward now is

137
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 5: the new GM, I would assume no Ed would be

138
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 5: the guy that would be a top the list currently

139
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: with the Atlanta Hawks. But you know, he was definitely

140
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: a name that you know a lot of people I

141
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: think you mentioned yesterday, but P J.

142
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: Thompson's kind of a unique one for me.

143
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: Does Travis Steel make that short list for you at all?

144
00:05:59,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

145
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: There's maybe a little bit more to that story with

146
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: him and Butler than the obvious of like, oh, here's

147
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: your alum and he's having a lot of success right now.

148
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

149
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like it's as much of a layup

150
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 5: as it would look like on paper.

151
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: So that's one of the things we're going on.

152
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: Also, speaking of coaching changes, this is a little bit

153
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: of a shock to me Garrett Winneger leaving Fishers to

154
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: go take over a prep school in Iowa that's part

155
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: of that Nike kind of circuit and league where he'd

156
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: be coaching the freshman and sophomores and Keith Smart coaching

157
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: the juniors and the seniors. Chance to obviously coach some

158
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: unbelievably talented players that play on a national scale from

159
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: a high school perspective, but also, man, what a great

160
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: thing he had going over there at Fishers, A state championship,

161
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: a runner up last year, got upset this year.

162
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: Great success there James.

163
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Surprised at all that he has taken a job like

164
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: that at this point in time.

165
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: A little surprised because looking at what that senior class

166
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: has done at Fisher, you still got one more year

167
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: with him. If you're looking at guys like Cooper, Zachary

168
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: and the Gardener kid as well, so you would think, oh,

169
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: this is like I honestly thought, if there was ever

170
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 4: going to be a change, it'll be after next season,

171
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: when those guys on their way out. I mean, you

172
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 4: look at his resume.

173
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: What is it Three.

174
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: Losses in three years for Gearrett over at Fishers, which

175
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: is unbelievable. One state championship and obviously the last two

176
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: playoff losses by one point each, so built it up

177
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: quite high. And now I would honestly say, with him

178
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: on the way out, that becomes the hottest job in

179
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: the state.

180
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about that. And the other coaching changes

181
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: we'll talk about at the high schools a little bit

182
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: later on. I also would to remind everybody while you

183
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: look outside, I'm trying to give you some spring fever

184
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: and hope Kevin, it's always good to think about golf, right,

185
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: even when you look outside in the morning, like this.

186
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: It's always good to be thinking about golf, right. I

187
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: like that April thirtieth we have the Fan Invitational twenty

00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: pro after five minutes, right, Kevin.

227
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: Kevin's seen the golf swing. It's going to take more

228
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: than five minutes.

229
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,720

230
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 5: financial guarantee on the weather, nor will I commit to

231
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 5: that for James Wood.

232
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, anything else you want to drop in

233
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: for opening ssavos here this morning.

234
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 6: Not really just survive the snow and everything. I thought

235
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 6: the snowbrush got put to bed. Apparently not.

236
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: No, And it's not one of those accumulations of snow

237
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: obviously when you wake up. It's just that that dry stuff.

238
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: That blows all the way around and it's kind of

239
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: accumulated on your side. I'd walk a little bit and

240
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: you can easily blow it off your your windshield, just

241
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, kind.

242
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: Of big old deep breath and blow it out and

243
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: you'll be fine. But it's just cold. It's just not

244
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: what we had after last week. It's not what I

245
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: was looking for. I thought maybe we had turned the

246
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: corner bed I should know better in Indiana.

247
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: Right, say, welcome to the Midwest.

248
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I've been here for a while. It never changes.

249
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: So all right, coming up at a moment, we'll give

250
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: you the checkdown. We've also got a lot of basketball

251
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: on the way. It is day one of the NC

252
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: DOUBLEA Tournament with the I don't know do we call

253
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: them playing games anymore? Did the NC DOUBLEA really stand

254
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: up and say no, no, no, these are actual NC

255
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: DOUBLEA Tournament games?

256
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: How do they classify it.

257
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 5: I do not call it day one of the NCAA Tournament. Sorry,

258
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,479
Speaker 5: sorry to Howard Lehigh, Texas.

259
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 8: Well.

260
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 6: I do NC state it counts.

261
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 4: It counts to the NC Double Tournament appearance.

262
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Let's get on all right, we'll talk about it next

263
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: as we continue at ninety three five and one on

264
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: seven five.

265
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 7: Morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh seven

266
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 7: five the Bay.

267
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Kevin Bowen, how you doing today?

268
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: I'm great.

269
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 6: I'm glad that someone remember that old St. Patrick stuff.

270
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, James and I are slacking on the wearing the

271
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: green today.

272
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: As I said, I have a built in excuse. Literally,

273
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: I'll leave it at that.

274
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: What shirt are you rocking over there with green? I

275
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: can only see the green sleeve mark.

276
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 6: An Oregon shirt I got back when I was in Oregon, Okay,

277
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 6: years ago.

278
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: And yours is a version of Notre Dame memorabilia, right.

279
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 8: It is not snow.

280
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 5: My uncle Tad got this for me when he visited

281
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 5: over there. It is a Ireland rugby kit.

282
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: I got it, but it's got the shamrock so on it.

283
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: That's why I was a little potful there. So good

284
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: job out of you. You did rock at the Notre Dame.

285
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Although bluing gold stocking.

286
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 6: Cap today so got very cold outside.

287
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: It is no question about it.

288
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: We said some rugby highlights from you? Are you going

289
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: to show us some.

290
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 6: Moves you'd be driving me to Methodist?

291
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: Is there any rugby highlights of me?

292
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Fad Mata has decided to hang it up after a

293
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: terrific career as a college basketball coach, although his return

294
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: to Butler wasn't as successful as anybody would have hoped.

295
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: No NCAA appearances in the last four years, but he

296
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: does leave after surpassing five hundred wins as.

297
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: A college basketball coach.

298
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: That is outstanding, great stints around the region, Ohio State, Xavier,

299
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: certainly Butler on a couple of occasions, and just a

300
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: good man, good coach. You heard other coaches singing his praises.

301
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: It was Danny Hurley that was really singing his praises

302
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: not that long ago. But Kevin, as you and I

303
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: discussed in the opening segment.

304
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: There, he is.

305
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: He's a man that looked like he was not willing

306
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: to do all the stuff at Nil, never really got

307
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: comfortable with this new way of doing business in college basketball.

308
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean his words were very clear. I think

309
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 5: that he didn't love having to operate in this era.

310
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 5: And you know, there was part of me that would

311
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: hear those comments and think to myself, boy, I'm almost

312
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 5: surprised that he's wanting to do this, particularly with the

313
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 5: physical issues that he's been dealing with. So you know,

314
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 5: I think, you know, in a way, this is probably

315
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: a good thing, probably the best situation for Butler. Butler

316
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: needs an injection of life. It's not like bad was

317
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 5: going to coach for five ten more years. They need

318
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 5: some financial life, clearly, and sometimes a new coach can

319
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 5: provide that. It can reinvigorate, you know whatever, alumni based boosters,

320
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera. So I'll be very curious to

321
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: see who Butler puts on that short list there and

322
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 5: how Grant Line, Decker and Gordon Hayward go about handling

323
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 5: this hire.

324
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see exactly what they do. And again,

325
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: the list of possible replacements, you.

326
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: Had a great rundown of those. Just a moment ago.

327
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: I had suggested maybe John Gross, who's having a terrific

328
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: cure at Akron had been a Thadmuda assistant back in

329
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: the early two thousands, but you said even looked a

330
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: little bit closer to the current.

331
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: Administration for a possible replacement, right.

332
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 5: Well, rolind Nor, I think is an obvious one, given

333
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 5: Grant line Deck played with them, Given Gordon Hayward of

334
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: course played with them. Now Gordon's back is the GM.

335
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 5: Any other names, James, Jeff, any other name. I mean,

336
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 5: I've I've mentioned several any other names.

337
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: I threw Travis Steele out there, but you're not sure

338
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: that that's the right fit.

339
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't given it too much thought. I've really, honestly,

340
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: when I heard about the announcement, I just went back

341
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: to like the Ohio State days for at that Mona,

342
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: which is kind of like my growing up coming of

343
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: age era. So yeah, I'm thinking of a lot of

344
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: the good teams that he had, man, and he had

345
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: some those were the that to me was probably what

346
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: he remembers, or will chare is perhaps the most about

347
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: his career because that was the old way of doing

348
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 4: things with NCAA basketball, where guys kind of stayed and

349
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 4: he didn't have so much movement year to year.

350
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 5: Good Man, if you want to go with one more

351
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: name two and keep it kind of in the Butler tree.

352
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: You know, Cam Woods. I think Butler fans will certainly

353
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 5: remember that name. You know what forward I guess center

354
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: for them. You know, in the last decade or so,

355
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 5: he's had a very nice run in the NBA with

356
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: the Thunder. He was actually the Thunders G League coach

357
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 5: at one point. I think Mark Dagnall has now called

358
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 5: him up to be an assistant. I think he's on

359
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 5: the big NBA bench with them again the college game,

360
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: the college ties. That's not necessarily there from a coaching standpoint,

361
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 5: but he's had a really nice NBA career and he's

362
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: still very young, So is that something they would look

363
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 5: into if they want to try and hey, let's you know,

364
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: keep it a Butler guy. But at the same time,

365
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 5: get someone that obviously has had a ton of coaching experience.

366
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, good Man, good coach. We're gonna miss

367
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: coach Dad Mada. He is retiring at Butler. All right,

368
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers a return to the floor tonight. They'll be

369
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: in Madison Square Garden. Who knows, James. They seem to

370
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: be a thorn in the knick side.

371
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: I love that. I guess it depends on who's gonna

372
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: play and how long they play tonight?

373
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: Right, I guess so, But they seem to always give

374
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: the Nicks a good game, so I wouldn't be surprised

375
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: if this one goes down to the WAIA.

376
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: I have not seen an updated injury reporter listing for

377
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: tonight's game of either of you seen anything in the

378
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: last twelve fourteen hours on that.

379
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: No, I have not.

380
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pascal Siak, I'm doubtful, and then a dudes are questionable.

381
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: So again, it's a back to back, so we'll see

382
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: how the Pacers handle the next two nights. But this

383
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: is a game that every Pacer fan can hold hands

384
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: and say, I want to win this game. It's the Knicks.

385
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: You've lost thirteen in a row. You can afford to

386
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: win a game or two. Everybody in Unison together Saint

387
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 5: Patrick's Day victory in Madison Square Garden, that would be beautiful.

388
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Pacers will play again tomorrow at home against Portland, then

389
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: back out out of the road for a San Antonio

390
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: matchup on Saturday. They are fifteen and fifty three, a

391
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: game and a half worse than Washington right now, two

392
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: and a half games worse than Sacramento, but they're starting

393
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: to build up a cushion on that fourth place losing

394
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: team right now. So we'll see how the next week

395
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: or two play out. We mentioned it in the opening segment,

396
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: but Garrett Winneger is leaving Fishers after a state title

397
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: two years ago, a state runner up last year, one

398
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two and twenty five during his time

399
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: at Fishers, and you had pointed out James only three

400
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: losses in three years.

401
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, quite the program he had helped build over there

402
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: in Fishers. Wishing the best moving forward, and whoever takes

403
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: over for him will certainly have a lot of pressure

404
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: on their plate because again they only lost when it

405
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: was in the playoffs the last two years. And that

406
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 4: I think that that class with Cooper Zachary and the

407
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: son of Jason Gardner, yep, he's as well. He's going

408
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 4: to be a big time player as well. So got

409
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: to figure out they can get it done next year.

410
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Winners leaving four and Iowa Prep School that is in

411
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: the nike E y b L circuit. He'll be coaching

412
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: the freshman and sophomores. Keith Smart, the Indiana alum.

413
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: Was coaching the juniors and seniors at that school in Iowa. Meanwhile,

414
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts.

415
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 6: I just had one more thing.

416
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: I think Elfant in the room would be just Cooper

417
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 5: and Zach Cooper, zachar and Jason Gardner.

418
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: Junior's stay all he did even in high school. It's

419
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: and you never know.

420
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 3: I think that's the day and age we live in.

421
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 5: Frankly, we've had a lot of notable seniors that have

422
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 5: not had coaching changes within their high school go there?

423
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: Does one of them go to Iowa United Prep or

424
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 5: whatever the place is called with Garrett? So maybe I'm

425
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: being too cynical with that, but that's the thought that

426
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 5: I had when I saw.

427
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 4: Though, Jason Cooper, I'll come coach, you stay put.

428
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: Colt's still holding steady as is right now, James. Are

429
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: we going to see anything from the Colts in the

430
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: next week or so.

431
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 4: I'm just mad I didn't get enough, you know, vote

432
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: of confidence from the room.

433
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: Then No, I got it.

434
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 4: You know, we'll get it done. We'll win every game.

435
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it's everyone says it's always it's so easy

436
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: with so much talent, right But joxaside, I do wish

437
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 4: them the best, and I hope they do stay for

438
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 4: my viewing pleasure. But as far as the Colts go, yeah,

439
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 4: I put out an updated a depth chart this morning

440
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: actually on the Athletic Feel free to check that out.

441
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: We can talk about it here on the show as well.

442
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 4: But there hasn't to me the moves you were supposed

443
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 4: to make, you did make when it comes to retaining

444
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 4: your top two players and Alec Pearson Daniel Jones, but

445
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 4: the holes in your rosters just haven't been addressed yet.

446
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 4: And it's hard for me to see how you're going

447
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 4: to really upgrade without having very many options in free

448
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 4: agency left. I mean, you can't. You can't address every

449
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 4: need in the draft. So they're kind of like neutral

450
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: right now.

451
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: And Kevin Younit said it last week.

452
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: It feels like defensively, the Cults have done a lot

453
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: are a depth building as much as anything, and they're

454
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: still missing a replacement for Michael Pittman junior at white

455
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Out at this point in time, so it's hard to

456
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: say that they've gotten any better from where they were

457
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: even healthy in the middle of the year.

458
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, James A.

459
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: We can go over that next segment of you know,

460
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 5: they've probably lost what five six starters just on paper,

461
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 5: here since last season. You know, would you say that

462
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 5: the replacement for any of those already in house, would

463
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: you say they need to be found outside the building?

464
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 5: Because yes, right now, they have not done much. Honestly,

465
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 5: it's had the feel of an old cris ballad free agency,

466
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 5: where it's just kind of a relatively quiet first week

467
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: and we'll see how he operates move forward.

468
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's been very.

469
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: Quiet, all right.

470
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Other NFL news, the Jets have traded quarterback Justin Fields

471
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: to Kansas City for a twenty twenty seven sixth rounder.

472
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: Fields could be their starting quarterback for a couple of

473
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: weeks before Patrick Mahomes recovers from that ACL injury.

474
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 6: James, do you think so?

475
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: I don't know the timeline, but I don't hate the move.

476
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 4: I saw people kind of trolling it online and saying, oh,

477
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: is he going there to start? Like no, But I

478
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: think if you have to have a spot starter or

479
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: Justin Field is a fine person to have behind Patrick Mahomes.

480
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 4: I had no issue with.

481
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: That and insurance Kevin in case Mahomes is not ready

482
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: for the start of the regular season.

483
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 9: Right.

484
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with James. I thought it made some sense there.

485
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 5: They finally have stopped the Colts backup quarterback train there

486
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: of Gardner Minshaw and Carson Wentz in Kansas City. And obviously,

487
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 5: what does that mean for Anthony Richardson? You know, I

488
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: would assume I'd have to look justin fields. Probably a

489
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 5: little bigger cap hit than Richardson, but still, you know,

490
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: does this mean you're looking at something that is six

491
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 5: rounder or later?

492
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: That would be a question that I would have.

493
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: All right.

494
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: WBC Baseball Championship tonight, Mark Dyton Venezuela rallying to beat

495
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: Italy for two. They kept the Italy bats at Bay

496
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: last night, and so it's on to Team USA for

497
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: all the marbles later on tonight, did you find it

498
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: interesting that the Potters have said they haven't decided whether

499
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: or not to let closer Mason Miller play.

500
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: In this game for tem Usa? Tonight? Thought that was interesting.

501
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: I mean, he's brought you to this point. What's one

502
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 6: more game San Diego.

503
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: Potter's they've got some financial investment. I guess they just

504
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: want to make sure there's no undue use on that

505
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: arm in spring.

506
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 4: This is for America.

507
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think so that comes your way later

508
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 2: on tonight. Also tm USA women in Caitlin Clark. They

509

511
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: I do not have Sling TV, but I have many

512
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: avenues to watch this game.

513
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,040

00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: it out.

518
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,680

543
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 5: he did at Purdue last season and probably making a

544
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 5: little bit more money, but not going to be winning

545
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,959

00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: little jamison or green beer back there?

564
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 5: No, I would ask him if he had another cup, because, frankly,

565
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 5: you look outside right now and you need it.

566
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,679

00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:26,760

582
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 6: Throw it on, Like I don't have to read it.

583

Speaker 6: Let everybody else read it.

584
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 2: I got you know, when I see Oregon, now, I

585
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: think that's to me kind of where Indiana this past

586
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: year really turned the corner and I thought to myself, Man,

587
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: this could be something happening here for the Indiana Hoosiers.

588
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: They started building on that. They built on the Iowa

589
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: Road Wind, then they built on the Oregon Road Wind.

590
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 6: That was a glorious campus, the Oregon campus. If you've

591
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 6: never been, I would encourage you to see what the

592
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 6: Nike money can build you. It's quite a lot.

593
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: They always say it never rains in Eugene on a

594
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: football Saturday, and every time I've been there on a

595
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: football Saturday, it rains.

596
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: So that's just you. Then you got some bad juju

597
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 6: or something. You don't have any shimmer you an Irish

598
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 6: car bomber mark sure back in the day.

599
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 5: Well, I can just feel a sit in my stomach.

600
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 5: That's a five course meal when you can sell.

601
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 6: You know it cut it into a beer like a

602
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 6: Guinness or something. Oh yeah, you look at you.

603
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: You were lost there and thought I had looked over

604
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: and you were like in a blissful state.

605
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: I just assumed you're probably not much of an Irish

606
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: car bomber? Is that correct?

607
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm probably not much of a drinker or anyway either

608
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: way around.

609
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: I've never heard of that until two seconds ago.

610
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 5: It probably weighs as much as James Boyd when it

611
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 5: sits there in your stomach after assuming that.

612
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: Doesn't sound pleasant?

613
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: Your bad influence on me, Kevin, you got me to

614
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: drink beer on Carb Day last year.

615
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 6: To me, it sounds like a holiday.

616
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: Doesn't sound like a bad influence at all there, But yeah,

617
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: I can't wait.

618
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 6: What do we You look outside right now and thank boy?

619
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 3: Carb Day? Come on, here we go.

620
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: I was having conversations with somebody up in promotions yesterday

621
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: about Carb Day.

622
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: We're already looking forward to that.

623
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: In the meantime, the Indianapolis Colts, like everybody else, trying

624
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: to navigate the offseason. They did get their quarterback back.

625
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: They signed Daniel Jones to a two year deal. Then

626
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: they signed Alec Pearce, well they signed him first to

627
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: a four year deal, and then they've made various and

628
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: sundry moves after that.

629
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: James. But here's the question.

630
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: Have they filled the holes they needed to fill appropriately

631
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: and have they done enough to be a better team

632
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six than they were in twenty twenty five.

633
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 4: No, right now, and honestly, and I was going through

634
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: the depth chart this morning and last night. Boy, it

635
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 4: is bleak when you look at the linebackers and the

636
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 4: defensive ends, in particular linebacker right now, Kevin. My projected

637
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 4: starters at the moment are Jalen, Carlis and Austin and

638
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 4: Jaki Like that cannot happen. Neither one of those guys

639
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 4: should start. And you have to find they don't even

640
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: have a starter right now on the team.

641
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 10: Is Sean Bullock the only other linebacker on the roster

642
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 10: right now? I mean they have others on the roster,

643
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 10: but who John Bullock? He's on the team and that's

644
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 10: the whole point.

645
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: But the point is they they need a lot of

646
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: help when it comes to that position in particular, and

647
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: obviously defensive end as well. I listen at arden Key

648
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: as the other starter opposite of Liato lat too, but

649
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 4: he should not be a starter. And again I'll be

650
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 4: fair to the Colt. So you have plenty of free

651
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,239
Speaker 4: agency left, I don't know what's out there, and you

652
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: have the draft. But my concern is that you have

653
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: so many needs that you necessarily can't fill all of

654
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 4: them via the draft in the latter stages of the

655
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 4: free agency. And I know people ever talking about, okay,

656
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 4: well trade for Jonathan Ynard. So Kevin's point from throughout

657
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 4: yesterday's show, and really the last week or so, you

658
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 4: think Chris bald is gonna give up another top one

659
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: hundred pick to go get a defensive end. I don't

660
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 4: hate the idea, but again, the means do not meet

661
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 4: the demands right now for this team.

662
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, Ballard is really not.

663
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 5: I would argue you hasn't really taken many risks this offseason,

664
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 5: like financially so far. You know, I think when you

665
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 5: get these gms that are whatever the final year of

666
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 5: the contract, like Ballad is, or you feel like he's

667
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: on a scorching hot seat, you might do some things

668
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 5: that mortgage stuff for the future. You might whatever be

669
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 5: more willing to make those trades. You might be more

670
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 5: willing to say, hey, we got to spend and spend

671
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 5: and spend. We got to spend early. We got to

672
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 5: try and get this roster and as great as short

673
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 5: term shape as possible because I need to, you know,

674
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: survive to get to twenty twenty seven and beyond, and

675
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: really they haven't operated in that manner. Again, to me,

676
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 5: it has a feel of a prior off season, which,

677
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 5: you know, you can look at it one of two ways.

678
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: If you're a Colts fan, part of you might say, well,

679
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 5: I appreciate that they haven't, you know, necessarily mortgage stuff

680
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 5: for the few. I have a feeling more people would say,

681
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: this is just typical Ballard and this is going to

682
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 5: be a big reason why, you know, when it's all

683
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 5: said and done, his tenure does not live up to

684
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: anywhere near certainly the Jim Mursay hype when he was hired.

685
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, again, it really has a feel to me

686
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 5: of like twenty twenty one's twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,

687
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 5: of like, wait a minute, are you not going to

688
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 5: use this time of year where it is the one real,

689
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 5: true week where you have accomplished professionals, albeit big money contracts,

690
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 5: but you have them available to you.

691
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: You tark to look at the offense as well, and

692
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: we mentioned that they has there really been a replacement

693
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: for Michael Pittman Junior.

694
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: Probably not. They're expecting Alec Pierce to be a number

695
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: one type receiver at this point in time, we know

696
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: that Tyler Warren's coming back. He had a terrific I

697
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: don't know, first two thirds of the season, and then

698
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: after Daniel Jones got hurt and there were different quarterbacks,

699
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: his production started to wane just a little bit.

700
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: Don't know that it was necessarily his fault all of it.

701
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: But then John Downs Ashton Doolan, that's your receiving core

702
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: right now.

703
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: How you feel about that.

704
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily hated Jeff and I viewed Tyler Warren

705
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 4: as being like their number two pass catcher going forward,

706
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: like he'll be their number two receivers so to speak.

707
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: But I still think you need a starting caliber receiver

708
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: added to this team, and I.

709
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: Josh Downs be that guy.

710
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 4: No, I don't think that he can be your number two.

711
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: Well I'm not gonna say he can't be. He probably

712
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: shouldn't be, given his side stature and maybe some limitation

713
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 4: that he has because of that. I think that Josh

714
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: Down is a very good slot receiver, but if you're

715
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: asking him to be like your possession receiver Allah Michael Pitman,

716
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: junr and you know, catch stuff over the middle and

717
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: be like the tough guy who gets the tough yards.

718
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 4: I don't see that necessarily in his future. And again

719
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 4: that's fine. He's good and great actually what he does.

720
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: But how do you fill that void? And even though

721
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: I would assume Pierce tar gets go up, Tyler Warren

722
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: targets go up, Josh Downds targets go up, you still

723
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: need someone, I think, to offset some of that and

724
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 4: just draw attention away from the defense, whether that's drafting

725
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 4: receiver or adding one via free agency. So I don't

726
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 4: think it's as easy as saying, oh, Josh Dowen's just

727
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 4: step up, because you need bodies quite frankly as well.

728
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: And I know Ashton Doolan has done fairly well in

729
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: some spot starts over the years, Kevin, but we all

730
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 4: know that his calling Coller are special teams.

731
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: So James, I count right now five starters that are

732
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 3: definitely gone, potentially a sixth in Jermaine Pratt, you think

733
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: the new starter for Pittman is not here?

734
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: Right?

735
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: Okay? Braden Smith, do you think the new starter for

736
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: him is here?

737
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 4: That's the only one I feel confident about right now.

738
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 4: Is Jalen Travis Quitty pay here or not here? Not here?

739
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 6: So it's not ardent Key. No, well, it's not JT.

740
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 6: Twoey my line.

741
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: I don't think it should be. JT barely played last

742
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: year and I get to do the second round pick

743
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: and had a great run at Ohio State before coming

744
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 4: to the NFL. But if they're playing, is to bank

745
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: on him to make some jump into a starting caliber

746
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 4: defensive end when he barely played last year. I think

747
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: it's fair to point out that's a flawed approach.

748
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: Zion Franklin the new starter for him? Here or not here?

749
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely not here. They don't have a starting linebacker

750
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 4: on their team right now.

751
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 6: And then lastly, Nick Cross, would you say that starter

752
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 6: is here or not here?

753
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: I would argue that that perhaps is here in one

754
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 4: ye Thomas, I could see that.

755
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: So again, jan Ye Thomas.

756
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 5: For those that have not kept totally up the track

757
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 5: with the Cults free agency signings, but the Cowboys most

758
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: recently a couple starts last season had significant migraine issues

759
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: that ended his twenty twenty five campaign.

760
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: Big Dude six three two fifteen.

761
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: So you know, if you look at those six names, Pittman,

762
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 5: Braden Smith, Quitty Paige, Jermaine Pratt, Zaire Franklin, Nick Cross,

763
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 5: and you just go through that exercise. We just did

764
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 5: four of the six. You would say the starters are

765
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 5: not currently here, right, and the one that's maybe a

766
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: little more than the fifty to fifty would be at

767
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 5: safety with Janya Thomas. You know, could they still go

768
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 5: out there and make a move at safety? So four

769
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 5: of the six and you only have two draft picks

770
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: in the top hundred, You're obviously gonna have to bank

771
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: on something notable there and instant impact. And then again

772
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 5: we're now well into the second wave here, a fre

773
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 5: angy cap space is not an issue. I mean this team,

774
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if the cap as the cap state

775
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 5: has been updated, James. I mean they still have Yeah,

776
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 5: I probably take a look at it. They still have

777
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 5: room to make deals. But again it's kind of who

778
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: meets that value.

779
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: There forty six million in cap space right now, and.

780
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 6: That is updated, that includes everybody.

781
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, what are you looking at, Jeff, I'm looking.

782
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at spots Treck right now. But I'll check

783
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: out and see who has been.

784
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: Added or not at Yeah, so over a couple of

785
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: new names I don't see over.

786
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: The cap hads they'd listed as thirty seven point six.

787
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: That makes more sense.

788
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but regardless thirty seven and forty, like they have

789
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: money to spend, is just who are you going to

790
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: spit it on? Is more of my question. And again,

791
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: going through the entire roster, like, for example, in the

792
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 4: layout that I did, you all, I didn't necessarily list

793
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: the in house free agents that returned as additions because

794
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 4: they're not really additions. That's what you expected to have

795
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 4: this upcoming season, So I didn't add Alec Pearson say

796
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: that's a plus for you. It was kind of just

797
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 4: a wash. It's an even Where were the other additions

798
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 4: to get better? And again I would say that they

799
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: planned for a couple of these people to move on,

800
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 4: Like I can't sit here and say today, oh my gosh,

801
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 4: they lost air Franklin. They never expected him to leave,

802
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 4: they traded him, they wanted to move on from him.

803
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 4: But again, where are your solutions and your answers to

804
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 4: replace not just the player, because you can argue that

805
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 4: the players should have been better or whatever, but like

806
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: the volume of snaps that they lost as well, I mean,

807
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 4: you're right now, you don't even have players that have

808
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 4: played a lot that are projected to fill in from them,

809
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: and again, it's very early in the offseason. Things could change.

810
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 4: But I just wonder of the quality of player you

811
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 4: can get going into this second week of free agency

812
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 4: and then banking on hitting in the raft, which you

813
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: really haven't done at certain positions in years past, because

814
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 4: especially the defensive end, and those guys automatically being difference

815
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 4: makers for you.

816
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 5: We'll have a Queen's head coach, Grant Leonard, joining us

817
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 5: at nine o'clock. Mark is what third straight year we've

818
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 5: had the Purdue opposing head coach from round one on.

819
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 6: So keeping the streak alive, baby.

820
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 5: He will join us here coming up at nine, and

821
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 5: I believe you're gonna que up a little player draft

822
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: for us.

823
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 6: On the other side, I think that's what we're doing.

824
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 6: We're doing what first two rounds now?

825
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 4: I'm cool with that.

826
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 6: First few rounds today, then the final three tomorrow.

827
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: Is that what you're thinking?

828
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: Sure, I gotta I gotta make sure we get the

829
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: rules correct on this as well. I have a few questions.

830
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 6: We go through those right now.

831
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 8: What are we nice?

832
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 4: Okay? Well, my only question is, so when you pick

833
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: a play, can you only pick one player for one team?

834
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 5: No, you can pick a whole starting five if you want.

835
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 5: I wouldn't advise, but you could do it, right.

836
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 4: I was just curious, like, you know, oh, this team's

837
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 4: gonna go deep.

838
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 6: I'm gonna pick multiple Michigan players.

839
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 4: I was just making sure I probably won't do that,

840
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 4: but just curious to know any loopholes there.

841
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 6: Total points, correct, Mark, I mean this is your thing.

842
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 6: You tell me total points. I think that's the simplest ones.

843
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 4: So for those listening, we will pick five players in

844
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: the NC double A tournament. Each of us can't choose

845
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 4: the same player obviously after they're drafted, and we will

846
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 4: add up their total points at the end of the

847
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: NC DOUBLEA tournament to see who wins. Prizes to be determined.

848
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 4: I'm gonna win. By the way, I've watched a lot

849
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 4: of college basketball this year. That is not necessarily true.

850
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 4: I'll out of a Big ten, but we're.

851
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: Gonna say I've watched a lot of Big Ten basketball

852
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: this year.

853
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that I've watched a ton of players outside.

854
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: During the breakup, we.

855
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 4: Be looking up. Okay, the highest points per game in

856
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 4: major conference this year.

857
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: Let's go all right, coming up in a minute, we

858
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: will do that. Also, you talked about the opposing coach

859
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: for Purdue, Grant Leonard at Queens, and I'm looking forward

860
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: to learning a little bit more about a team that

861
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: they've only been eligible to play in the NCAA Tournament

862
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: a very short period of time, and here they are.

863
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 6: I believe it's the first year of eligibility.

864
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it done right away. So that'll be

865
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: a great story. We'll talk about that just a little

866
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: bit more. And again while we're talking about college basketball,

867
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: if you're just joining us and you were busy all

868
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: day yesterday, Thad Mada has retired at Butler, the second stent,

869
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: not as much as people had hoped, sixty three and

870
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 1: sixty nine no NCAA Tournament appearances in four years. And

871
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: you know you heard Danny Hurley really come to his

872
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to say defense, but was just singing

873
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: his praises just a month ago about man, you give

874
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: that guy a bunch of money in NIL, he'll build

875
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: a culture, he'll build a team for you. I just

876
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: wonder if he was finding it more and more difficult

877
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: to find a way to build culture to build a

878
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: team in today's NIL.

879
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 5: Here, I think answer that as emphatically yes. And now

880
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 5: the question becomes this, you know, are there whatever Butler

881
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 5: alums boosters board, you know how every want to look

882
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 5: at it and said, you know what, I felt like

883
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 5: we weren't going anywhere. I felt like, you know, fad

884
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 5: and the total embracing of the era maybe wasn't there.

885
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 5: I will, you know, open up the old check book

886
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 5: a little bit more if you go out there and

887
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 5: make a move. Is that something that you see here

888
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 5: from Butler? So again, I'll go back. I assume Ronald

889
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 5: Norrid is probably viewed as the heavy favorite, but I'd

890
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 5: make a call and see what p J. Thompson's interest

891
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 5: level would be. Is there some risk involved in a young,

892
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 5: first time head coach. Yeah, but when Matt Payn gives

893
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: you the reins to run that offense like he has

894
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 5: with PJ Thompson for several years now. You talk about

895
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 5: indie ties, obviously you had ample ones with PJ. I

896
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 5: mean his family is well thought of in this city.

897
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 5: So you know, that would be one that's not in

898
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 5: the Butler tree that I think I would look into.

899
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: We'll keep an eye on that, and of course we've

900
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: got college basketball coming your way.

901
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament. Don't you don't look at this as the

902
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: first round. This is just still qualifying to get in.

903
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 3: Kevin to me, do you fill these games out in

904
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 3: your bracket?

905
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 8: Yes?

906
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 3: Or no?

907
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: No you do not. There you go, that's my answer.

908
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 6: Crackets don't lock any.

909
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: That's your answer.

910
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

911
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 5: Now again, I have seen obviously we have seen teams

912
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 5: from this state. I mean, hell, if you're an Indiana

913
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 5: basketball fan, your greatest memory in the NCAA Tournament the

914
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 5: last ten years might be beating Wyoming and Dayton. I

915
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 5: think it's more often the game you do remember that game,

916
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 5: I remember being relatively low scoring, but I don't remember

917
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 5: much Tray Shackson Davis probably dominating.

918
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 2: More often than not. Though someone from the first four

919
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: does make it to the round of thirty two. At

920
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 2: least shout out Cam Heidi.

921
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 5: He will be on the Florida night for the Texas

922
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 5: Longhorns there and plays a rotational role. So yes, Howard

923
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 5: and UMBC at six forty reminder, Maye of Ohio is tomorrow.

924
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 5: They will take on SMU tomorrow there in Dayton.

925
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean you are right.

926
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 5: Usually there is one of these eleven seeds that tend

927
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 5: to get hot and Notre Dame played in this game

928
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 5: a few years back on Saint Patrick's Dame. Mike Bray

929
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 5: I shout out, had some jameson after they beat Rutgers,

930
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 5: and then Notre Dame went on to, you know, we

931
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 5: make the Sweet sixteen that year.

932
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 6: So yes, it does indeed happen.

933
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 5: But I'm looking at my brack in my bracket shows

934
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 5: no place for me to fill out this game.

935
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: It's true. So tonight you mentioned u U NBC that

936
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: those are the Retrievers.

937
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: It's our favorite to one of our favorite nicknames there.

938
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: They're going up against Howard.

939
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: Those are two.

940
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: Whoever wins that'll be a sixteen seed. And then tonight

941
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: Texas North Carolina State, whoever wins that will be an

942
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: eleven seed. That's what we know there for tonight's game.

943
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: And then Miami of Ohio if they win, they're an

944
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: eleven seed.

945
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: That's not bad.

946
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 6: How are figuring out the draft order of this thing?

947
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: You're gonna spin it up.

948
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 6: Sure, you're gonna trust the process.

949
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: Now I'll wait to hear the draft.

950
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: Guess who's gonna be if he does it? Back there,

951
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: I guess who's gonna get the number one overall pick.

952
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 6: Are we going with the odds snake here? You know

953
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 6: it's a five person draft, so so fourth gets right?

954
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you can benefit a little snaky here.

955
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 6: I think that's the way to do it, all right.

956
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: So I will trust you, Mark, I believe in you.

957
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 6: Thank you. After all these years, I'm glad you finally

958
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 6: trust me on these.

959
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: Not every day, but today I do.

960
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,640

1002
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,760

Speaker 1: the meantime, we've got NC DOUBLEA Tournament action tonight, Kevin.

1007
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: Even though you can't make a room in your bracket

1008
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: for these teams, these teams will get into the NC

1009
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: Double A tournament. They call it the First four the

1010
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: NC Double A.

1011
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: Would like to tell you it's part of the tournament,

1012
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: but you're not buying it right.

1013
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know, am I filling out in the

1014
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: bracket or not? I'm not right.

1015
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll obviously I'll still watch and I'll still

1016
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 5: you know, care on some level, but no, the tournament

1017
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 5: to me is a sixty four team field, and granted

1018
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 5: in one of these eleven seeds will probably go on

1019
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 5: and win. But just reminder, we got the Queen's coach

1020
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 5: coming on, Grant Leonard nine o'clock to chat with him.

1021
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 5: That has produced opponent in Round one coming up Friday,

1022
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: night in Saint Louis and Mark Dyton you spun the

1023
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 5: wheel during the break for our player draft here. Okay,

1024
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 5: so just remind everybody these are five player teams that

1025
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 5: we will pick here, and simply you're adding up the

1026
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 5: total points score. So if you pick up players on

1027
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 5: the national championship team and he averages ten points a game,

1028
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 5: you've got what sixty points on your team. And if

1029
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 5: you pick a guy that's one and done and he

1030
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 5: scores twenty five points in round one, so what you

1031
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 5: gain you got twenty five points. So five man teams

1032
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 5: will do a snake draft. Interestingly enough, James Boyd, you

1033
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 5: elected not to go into the studio to watch Mark

1034
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 5: see the spin of the wheel.

1035
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 8: No.

1036
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: I trust his integrity and I don't think he has

1037
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 4: any You.

1038
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 6: Got the first pick. We we talked about here, Well

1039
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:27,439

00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: You got the first choice.

1041
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly true, tell the whole truth. See what I

1042
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 4: mean about integrity, people.

1043
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 6: I chose the fourth pick because I would like to

1044
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 6: double up.

1045
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 4: Uh huh, And then.

1046
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 6: You got the first pick, he said, that's what I

1047
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 6: wanted to know.

1048
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 4: What you know what he did, Kevin? He went back

1049
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 4: there and he just twiddled his thumbs and then wait

1050
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 4: a couple seconds and said, all right, I got it.

1051
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 6: I knew if I landed on it, Shenanigans will be accused.

1052
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 3: And sounds like you had on silver.

1053
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: If I had a conversation Marc is getting the four

1054
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: to five, Kevin elected to go three to six.

1055
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: I got to seven and you're one eight.

1056
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,120

Speaker 6: Mark's supposed to be like mister consistent. He's supposed to

1099
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 6: be who we rely on. That's that's your own fault.

1100
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 6: Then did you hit the dumb button? That's what I think.

1101
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 6: Though in time we'll see.

1102
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: You're gonna go with the duke point guard at your

1103
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: fifth pick or what?

1104
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 6: No, I'm going with No, I'm just I was gonna say,

1105
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 6: and then it goes it goes official. Nemi uh, I'll

1106
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 6: take Brayden Smith from Perdue.

1107
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 2: How about that?

1108
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 6: After that unbelievable.

1109
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 4: At least he knows he's playing.

1110
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do gezh Targerys Saliburn Lamar Wilkerson.

1111
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 5: I think I think Houston's gonna get hot, so I

1112
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 5: will go with their h with their point guard. I

1113
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 5: think Kingston Flemings from the Houston Cougars here, we're just

1114
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 5: gonna do two rounds today. I think the Lord Marketing

1115
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 5: is the regroup, all.

1116
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: Right, So that's me now, Braydon Berry's from Arizona.

1117
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 8: I like that.

1118
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: I like that is my or is your return?

1119
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 4: Keen Wagler, Illinois kid.

1120
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 6: I was curious when you'd go there.

1121
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: I mean, hey, it ain't all just home cooking that

1122
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 4: gig that Cauy can play.

1123
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 5: You need James and I going with the all freshman

1124
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 5: team right now. I don't know if that's a good

1125
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 5: thing or not. James freshman in the tournament.

1126
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 10: Hey, long as they get the ball, we're all right,

1127
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 10: We're all right, you just need three games from him.

1128
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 4: There you go.

1129
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: It's just kind of like Kevin's theory and philosophy.

1130
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 6: For Mark, all of my players are playing currently. I'm

1131
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 6: still gonna win. That was a luxury pick by me.

1132
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 2: What all right? So those two rounds for today.

1133
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 6: I don't even know about the Braden Smith Mark.

1134
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 5: I mean, he see really score, Like, if you were

1135
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 5: going to pick the top Purdue score, would you go

1136
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 5: Braden Smith?

1137
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 6: I'm hoping for a deeper run and he has he

1138
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 6: turns the lights on, we'll see.

1139
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: All right, didn't shoot well in the Big ten.

1140
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 5: Turn to me, I thought with with Purdue because I

1141
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 5: definitely debated a Purdue player in my head. But it's like,

1142
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 5: do you go Trey Kaufman ren.

1143
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: Right thought about him.

1144
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: Do you think he's going to be the more score

1145
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 3: type there?

1146
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 5: So, man, Mark, you might have to edit together something

1147
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 5: for yourself there after that.

1148
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: That's okay, And I kind of decided to go two

1149
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,959
Speaker 1: guys that I'm relatively sure we'll get to the final four,

1150
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: or at least have a really good chance to get

1151
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: to the final fo.

1152
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jeff's going with a little bit more quantity. James

1153
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 5: and I think going a little bit more. We know

1154
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 5: they're gonna score. It's short vol how much how late

1155
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 5: in the tournament are they gonna play?

1156
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.

1157
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking forward to this tournament because it

1158
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: feels like one of five or six teams could honestly

1159
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 1: legitimately win this. And I do like the number one seeds,

1160
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: but there's some pretty good number two seeds as well.

1161
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 5: Kevin, I thought it was gonna be fun till Mark

1162
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 5: literally just looked up the top scoring list and assumed

1163
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 5: everybody I did.

1164
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 6: That's exactly right. This is probably the least I've watched

1165
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 6: college basketball this year, and I just proved it right.

1166
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 6: There was so bad, unbelievable.

1167
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 4: He's been out for forever.

1168
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 6: Oh my, well, the NCAA website should say that I

1169
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 6: should list it.

1170
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: On there, put a little asterisk next to it.

1171
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 6: How many interns we got over there? All those times

1172
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 6: you've beeped, Jeff, you should beep yourself for that Mark.

1173
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 8: On the right.

1174
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 2: Didn't you drop before letter?

1175
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 3: I said, shoot, Brian says that you did not hit

1176
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 3: the dumb button?

1177
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 6: Did you hit it? I hid it doesn't see if

1178
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 6: it's on the stream it's on the stream you get,

1179
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 6: it's unfiltered.

1180
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, the stream is what you say is what you get.

1181
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 6: So there you go.

1182
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: But we appreciate you nevertheless, Mark Dyton, thank you, thanks

1183
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: so much for doing that for all of us.

1184
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 6: We appreciated that, Glad. I got a laugh out everybody.

1185
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: And you were so proud of yourself to pick that

1186
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 2: fourth and fifth turnaround too.

1187
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 6: Again, my team is still going to win somehow, some way.

1188
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: I like it.

1189
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: It's The Fan Morning Show, ninety three five one oh

1190
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: seven five the Fan. You can let us know at

1191
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: two three, nine, ten seventy whether or not you agree

1192
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: with these picks or if there are two that you

1193
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,959
Speaker 1: would have made that you think guys are going to either,

1194
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: like like Kevin decided AJ Debonsa, Hey, that guy can

1195
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: score thirty five a game for three games, Kevin, get

1196
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: you one hundred and plus points before it's all yeah.

1197
00:50:59,719 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 8: Again.

1198
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 5: The nerve wracking thing for me there was like, are

1199
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 5: they gonna beat Gonzaga, which again, if they do and

1200
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 5: the Seeds hold, that would mean Purdue against AJ Debansa

1201
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 5: there in the sweet sixteen, which would be obviously from

1202
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 5: a local standpoint right the match up there, so that

1203
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 5: was my.

1204
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 3: Thought process with BYU.

1205
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 5: I get, you know, Richie Saunders one of the better

1206
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 5: players towards a cl probably player Mark will pick later

1207
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 5: in the draft.

1208
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 6: Writing him off right now, but you just informed me that.

1209
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 5: Would be uh one that I think makes makes the

1210
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 5: most sense here because you know, really, when you look

1211
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 5: at these top four seeds, like you pick Yaxel Lendenberg,

1212
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 5: I mean, how many points is he averaging? You know,

1213
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 5: Boozer is really the one of the top four seeds

1214
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 5: when you like Arizona's pretty balanced, Florida's pretty balanced, Michigan

1215
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 5: is pretty balanced. You know, Boozer is really the one

1216
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 5: of the top four seeds because I think we all

1217
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 5: sit here and think the one seeds have a great

1218
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 5: advantage to make deep, deep runs all the way to

1219
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 5: Indy here potentially, but really there's only one true like

1220
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 5: eighteen twenty twenty two point a game guy, and I

1221
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 5: rightfully so James went ahead and picked that player.

1222
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: So my thought process of Lindenborg has been, you know,

1223
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: during the regular season, Michigan, really they've got depth, right,

1224
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: They got a pretty solid eight, i'd even say nine

1225
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: man rotation, But I think that tightens up a little

1226
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: bit in the NCAA tournament, and I think he'll get

1227
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: more opportunities in more minutes, and they're going to lean

1228
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: on him at times. That's kind of my thought process

1229
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: on why I decided to go with him. Take a

1230
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a chance there, so we'll see how

1231
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: deep they go, and hopefully Purdue goes deep. And look

1232
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: who knows Braden Smith.

1233
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: He starts averaging fourteen to fifteen a game and they

1234
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 2: play five or six games. You're in good shape, Mark Dacton.

1235
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 6: I feel confident. I feel more confident than ever.

1236
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 5: Mark's sweating in there after taking his car bomb and

1237
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 5: dropping that.

1238
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 6: God, I wish they had one right now. You might

1239
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 6: need one after that.

1240
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 4: About so he picked like he was already, you know,

1241
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 4: using it.

1242
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 2: What is in a car bomb?

1243
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 5: Guinness Bailey's Irish Creamyles drop into the guinness and then

1244
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 5: it starts to curdle. I mean, honestly, it reminds me

1245
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 5: of the mao and the coffee at times.

1246
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 6: A little bit of whiskey you can do too, and

1247
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 6: you throw drink that voluntarily, you throw that back.

1248
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, your stomach starts making noises

1249
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 5: like it's you know, you've had taco bell at three am.

1250
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 2: Sounds like a less buttoned down version of the Long

1251
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 2: Island Iced Teach James.

1252
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 6: People drink the alort for fun. I would say, yeah,

1253
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 6: Irish car bombs. Somehow they still get what's.

1254
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 4: The one I always see in the airport Bloody Mary's.

1255
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 6: Oh no, thank you.

1256
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 4: I see that at like seven in the morning. I'm like, boy,

1257
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,959
Speaker 4: how does that taste good? Is it just like tomato juice?

1258
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 4: Tomato juice and vodka? Yeah, with usually like peppers. And

1259
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 4: I don't want my life to ever be that hard

1260
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 4: where I have to drink tomato juice and vodka. That

1261
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 4: sounds like a life I don't want to live. It

1262
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 4: sounds like a life of strife.

1263
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 6: I'd rather start drinking Yeager bombs again than ever drink

1264
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 6: of Bloody Mary. Should Er bombs are horrific. Should we

1265
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 6: have allowed Mark to pick again?

1266
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 4: It's fine. I'm gonna chalk that up.

1267
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 6: That was a Norris select action. She didn't know.

1268
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 2: I'll let him fill it out.

1269
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 4: But my my, oh my, my, my, uh my, bff, Nora, Okay,

1270
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 4: don't do that.

1271
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 5: From Corey Forts marred loud and clear in the Greenwood

1272
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 5: Middle School drop offline.

1273
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 4: Oh that's good influencing the youth.

1274
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 6: Listen, this new board, the dumb button isn't readily available

1275
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 6: as it usually is.

1276
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 4: So someonees don't have potty mouths.

1277
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 3: Though Jeff said he cover your fine.

1278
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: Uh now, Jeff did not say that.

1279
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 4: The camaraderie of this show man, We got one guy

1280
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 4: curse and the other guy won't cover his fine. What

1281
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 4: kind of team are we?

1282
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: I got two kids getting ready to go to college.

1283
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: I can't afford to cover anybody's fine, and I ain't

1284
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 2: got to go to school.

1285
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 4: Tell him the influencers, it's the.

1286
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: Fan Morning Show, ninety F You're five one O seven

1287
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: five the Fan. Kevin Bowen, Mark Dyton, he of the

1288
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: potty mouth back there. There's a reason we keep him isolated.

1289
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: Back there.

1290
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 4: He told us to take Lamar Wilkerson. You go out

1291
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 4: for ninety two.

1292
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 3: My next pick, Mark's Caleb Wilson. Lamar Wilkerson.

1293
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 5: Maybe Marcus Burson still on the board right, one of

1294
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 5: those Butler injured players.

1295
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: James Boyd, Good morning. We also have the news in

1296
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: college basketball this morning. We found out out it yesterday.

1297
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: Thad Mada retiring after another four years at Butler. Did

1298
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: not make the NCAA tournament, and you know, just we

1299
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to coach who I like

1300
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 1: and admire greatly throughout the course of the year, and Kevin,

1301
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: you and I had talked about this about an hour ago.

1302
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: He just seemed a little worn down and not comfortable

1303
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: with life in this new existence of NIL college basketball,

1304
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: having to rebuild rosters almost every single year.

1305
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 2: He's a man that was known as a culture builder.

1306
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: It's really tough to build a culture when you're just

1307
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: swapping guys in and out all the time.

1308
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he was met, you know, oftentimes when

1309
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 5: those questions are asked, it was like, man, I love

1310
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 5: the guys. I love the guys, love the guys. Not

1311
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 5: I love the era. I love, you know, doing the

1312
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 5: NIL aspect of it.

1313
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 6: And I don't blame him.

1314
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 5: I mean, like, you know, it's clearly not for every

1315
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 5: especially when you've grown up in a much different era

1316
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 5: to how you know, he's built things and how he

1317
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 5: went about recruiting and all of that, particularly when you're

1318
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 5: not sitting at you know, whatever, the big big table,

1319
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 5: if you will, within your own conference. From a financial

1320
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 5: standpoint as well, and then physically, I mean clearly he

1321
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 5: has you know, had some physical ailments that have impacted him,

1322
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 5: impacted at think the end of his Ohio State tenure,

1323
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 5: and you know you watch him coach at Butler and

1324
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 5: you do wonder about that stuff. So again, fascinating to

1325
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 5: see what Grant line Decker does. So I've thrown out

1326
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 5: a couple names today, and you know, Ronald Norrett, I

1327
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 5: assume would be viewed by many as probably the favorite

1328
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 5: for this.

1329
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 3: But you know, how how is that Butler job viewed?

1330
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 3: You know, pardon me, thinks?

1331
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 8: Boy?

1332
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 5: Can you get Chris Holtman back from DePaul Chris Holtman

1333
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 5: had a nice little run there, But you.

1334
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 3: Know, exactly what how do they pivot?

1335
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 5: Because line Decker is an ad you know, again, he

1336
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 5: was on those final four teams, so you know he

1337
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 5: is knows Ronald Nord really well and Gordon Hayward's the

1338
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 5: new GM and he's obviously on those teams as well.

1339
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 5: So that's kind of where I think a lot of

1340
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 5: people point to from a sign standpoint.

1341
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 2: All right, So that's what's happening in college basketball and

1342
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: everything else. Let's get to the checkdown mark and let

1343
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: everybody know what they can look forward to in the

1344
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 2: next twenty four hours or.

1345
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 7: Though the morning checkdown on ninety thwee five and one

1346
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 7: oh seven five the fan all we mentioned.

1347
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 2: Fad Mada retiring at Butler. Also we have.

1348
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: The Garrett Winneger leaving Fishers after a state championship and

1349
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: a state runner up last year.

1350
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 2: When one hundred and thirty.

1351
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: Two and twenty five in James, It's just remarkable to

1352
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: see I was able to call that state title game

1353
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: in which they lost last year. But that team is

1354
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: just loaded with talent. They'll continue to be loaded with talent.

1355
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 2: Only three losses for him in the last three seasons amazing.

1356
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, eighty three and three during that stretch there are

1357
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 4: three losses whereby combined at ten points. Talk about excellence.

1358
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is going to when Iowa Prep School that

1359
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: is in the Nike eyb L circuit.

1360
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 2: He'll be coaching the freshman and sophomores. Keith Smart is

1361
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 2: coaching the juniors and seniors there.

1362
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: And I supposed a chance to just go coach some

1363
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: of the best young talent in the nation and get

1364
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: into that Nike tour And for him and his family

1365
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: probably just seem like a step in the right direction.

1366
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: For his coaching career.

1367
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 5: Well, I'd assume he wants to coach at higher levels.

1368
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 5: I think that's probably what Garrett Wineer is doing there.

1369
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 5: He's playing the prep school game. And you know, as

1370
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 5: much as that game, I think bothers myself, I'm sure

1371
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 5: financially with three young boys, it makes a whole lot

1372
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 5: of sense for him. So, you know, I always enjoyed

1373
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 5: how much he seemed to fully embrace what Indiana high

1374
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 5: school basketball meant and the environments, and you know, I

1375
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 5: always spoke glowingly of you know, Sectional eight and everything

1376
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 5: that went into that. But yeah, I would assume this

1377
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 5: is a stepping stone and you know, again the elephant

1378
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 5: of the room for me when I saw this last night,

1379
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 5: does this mean Cooper, Zachary and Jason Gardner junior are

1380
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 5: playing for Fishers next year or does this mean they're

1381
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 5: playing elsewhere?

1382
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 3: Which, unfortunately, you know, we've.

1383
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 5: Had that in our state with a lot of the

1384
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 5: frontline mister basketball type of candidates, the Brayln Mullens.

1385
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 6: Luke Urtles.

1386
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 3: It's rare.

1387
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:08,959
Speaker 4: It's turning into rare.

1388
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 3: So that's the unfortunate nature of where we're at right now.

1389
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 5: Selfishly, but yeah, you know, I think there was a

1390
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 5: little bit of rumor that this could have been happening

1391
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 5: even in prior years with Garrett Wineger, So I'm not

1392
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 5: shocked by the news at all.

1393
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 2: Dark Williams resigning at Cardinal Ritter.

1394
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: He had decided this back in January apparently, and they

1395
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: had a nice little run this past year.

1396
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 2: James.

1397
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: They lost this past Saturday in the two way regional

1398
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: to Triton Central, but he's decided to leave that program

1399
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: at this point in time.

1400
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe they already hired somebody else I might

1401
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 4: have been on the staff, so they found her placement

1402
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 4: pretty quickly.

1403
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 5: All right, Matt the s bleep bleep bleep one came

1404
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 5: to the radio and talk with this ten year old

1405
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 5: about it.

1406
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 6: Mark, Well, we're educating and entertaining.

1407
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 5: Then he's requested to tune in tomorrow to learn more

1408
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 5: about the life that I'm apparently shielding from him.

1409
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 2: Is that the first time Nora has ever heard that? Mark?

1410
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: If she was listening to the radio today.

1411
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 6: She seems on says during Bears Packers game is no,

1412
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 6: absolutelyuns She's hurt a lot worse.

1413
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeh, she pretty much heard everything at this point in time.

1414
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 6: We're in talk Birds and the Bees tomorrow. Make sure

1415
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 6: you're tuned in and have the kids in the.

1416
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Car right Speaking of head coaches, Grant Leonard from Queen's,

1417
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,040

Speaker 1: in the NTUBAA tournament.

1422
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive, right there, James.

1423
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 4: I would agree, and I kind of go back to

1424
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 4: what Kevin has said throughout the recent weeks. Why do

1425
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 4: they have to wait so long to get to the

1426
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 4: Division one level. I'm glad that they're finally here, and

1427
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 4: obviously they've earned it.

1428
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 2: All right to.

1429
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: NBA Pacers play in New York at Madison Square Garden

1436
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 2: Current update.

Speaker 1: Right now they are fifteen and fifty three, one and

1440
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: are you ready for today's tankathon?

1441
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Gentlemen? It is as long as it doesn't cuss. Oh.

1442
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: Pacers are number three today, James behind Memphis in Utah.

1443
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 3: Bozer Peterson at three? Who would you rather see there?

1444
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a boozer guy.

1445
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm my Roald Peterson.

1446
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 3: Andy.

1447
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 6: Can I talk in to Caleb Wilson at all?

1448
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 4: You probably could?

1449
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: You never?

1450
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 4: Well, the way Darius acuff Is Junior has been playing,

1451
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 4: I was attempted to even say him.

1452
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 5: Some people thought we should have picked a Cuff. My

1453
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 5: worry about a Cuff is not getting a third game.

1454
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 5: I think Wisconsin. I like Wisconsin and that that that's

1455
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 5: my second round matchup Wisconsin Arkansas.

1456
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 3: Potentially.

1457
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I like Wisconsin in that game.

1458
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 3: But a lot of.

1459
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 5: People thought, you know, a Cuff you know, he's kind

1460
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 5: of in the Debansa camp or James, maybe even the

1461
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 5: Keaton Woggler camp.

1462
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 3: You know, do you get three games and are you

1463
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 3: scoring whatever? Twenty five?

1464
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 4: Exactly? You got to think about the path, not always

1465
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 4: about the points.

1466
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: That's right, And who did you pick first?

1467
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 6: Mark, I don't remember already. Okay, I'm blanking, just.

1468
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: Checking, all right.

1469
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the NBA, other than the fact

1470
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: that Steve Kerr became the fourth fastest coach to get

1471
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: six hundred wins. Last night, Golden Stake got a win

1472
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: over Washington. Christoph Porzinga scored thirty points.

1473
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 2: Can they be problematic in the postseason if Porzingi starts

1474
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 2: dropping thirty every day they get Steph healthy?

1475
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 4: No, because Steph isn't healthy and he's still out.

1476
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 3: And let's be honest, porzingis ain't gonna be healthy in

1477
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 3: a month exactly.

1478
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: That's kind of how that one's looking right now.

1479
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 9: Colt.

1480
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 4: They beat the Wizards, so that's justn't even kind of

1481
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 4: a real win.

1482
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Colt's still holding steady as they are. James Boyd is

1483
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: a good thing or not?

1484
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 2: Right now?

1485
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 4: Not, but we'll see. It's a long offseason.

1486
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 5: Havin your thoughts again, it feels like prior chrispoud fregencies.

1487
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 5: It feels like, you know, the times where he was

1488
01:02:56,120 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 5: extra extra frugal at a point in time where he's

1489
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 5: you know, supposed to be higher. And again, cap space

1490
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 5: is not an issue. We talked about that a little

1491
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 5: bit earlier in the seven thirty hour. And it's not

1492
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 5: like you're sitting there in the draft where like Houston

1493
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 5: has four picks in the top seventy this year, the

1494
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 5: Colts have two in the top one hundred. So even

1495
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 5: if you wanted to play the draft game, it's not

1496
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 5: like you're all of a sudden going to you know,

1497
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 5: have a ton of rookie instant impact.

1498
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 3: So that is also a bit head scratching to me.

1499
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 2: Fair to say though that from a Colt's perspective, their

1500
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 2: number one draft pick is playing cornerback, it's Sauce Gardner.

1501
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 3: Well sure, but that is an impact. Yeah, I agree on.

1502
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 2: The roster building, I get that.

1503
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Also in the NFL, the Jets have traded Justin Fields

1504
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: to Kansas City for a twenty twenty seven to sixth rounder.

1505
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Depending on how quickly Patrick Mahomes are coversing that acl,

1506
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: he might see some time.

1507
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 2: For the Kansas City Chiefs this year.

1508
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, which, again, if he's your spot starter, not a bad.

1509
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:50,919
Speaker 2: Option, all right.

1510
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Also, the WBC goes tonight Championship game. Mark dyketon. How

1511
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: you feeling against Venezuela, who rallied to beat Italy four

1512
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: last night.

1513
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a bit concerned about who the USA team

1514
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 6: is thrown on the starting mound today. But maybe it's

1515
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 6: more of a bullpen game, I guess. But I do

1516
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 6: like our hitters, so I will take USA. I'm gonna

1517
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 6: side with the country at Venezuela. Mark, I hope so

1518
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 6: Acuna Junior.

1519
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 5: They've got a couple others, right, Contreras, I think who else?

1520
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 5: Oh you haaneos Horez. Last night I hit a bomb then,

1521
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 5: so shout out to the Reds for that one there.

1522
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 5: I mean, their their lineup is pretty darn good man.

1523
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 6: Think it's a solid a solid final.

1524
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would agree.

1525
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1526
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: Somebody was trying to make the point that if you

1527
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: added up the team USA's salary cap all the players

1528
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: that are playing, there was well over three hundred million dollars.

1529
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Then somebody else noticed that not too far behind that

1530
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: was the Dominican Republic. So it wasn't like beating up

1531
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: on the little little sisters of the poor Mark. When

1532
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, it.

1533
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 5: Might be so Nola McClain, the starter tonight for the

1534
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 5: US eight career starts in Major League Baseball, and the

1535
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 5: Italians got to him pretty well there in the group stage.

1536
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 5: So to Mark's point, a little nerve racking about who

1537
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 5: Mark DeRosa, Andy pettit are thrown out there?

1538
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: No pressure, No pressure at all, all right. We'll keep

1539
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 2: an eye on that one.

1540
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Also, speaking of Team USA, the women's basketball team continues

1541
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: in the Phoeba qualifier for the World Cup. Even though

1542
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: they've already qualified, they are playing in the tournament. Caitlin

1543
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: Clark will play again tonight against Spain at five pm.

1544
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: You can watch that one on Sling TV, or as

1545
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: James might say, there are other ways to try and

1546
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: find that game on the internet.

1547
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 6: Correct, Yeah, mister Boyd checking in for Mother Russia television.

1548
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 2: Kitlin Kark plays outstanding and Kevin last thing you will

1549
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 2: or will not be watching much of the play in

1550
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 2: games as we like to call them. For the NCAA tournament.

1551
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 6: I'll be more World Baseball Classic.

1552
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 5: But you know, the ending of the playing games, I

1553
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 5: do you know, get sucked into that, and you know,

1554
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 5: not that anyone really cares about the aspect. But for

1555
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 5: the mid major programs, if you are in these like

1556
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,439
Speaker 5: bottom conferences, you almost would rather be in the play

1557
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 5: in because if you win a play in game, you

1558
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 5: get the same financial share of winning an actual NCAA

1559
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 5: tournament game. So like for this these sixteen seeds, like

1560
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 5: if UMBC or who is is it Howard?

1561
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 4: Is that their opponent?

1562
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 5: You know, if either of these teams win tonight, that

1563
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 5: is the financial benefit to you and your conference that

1564
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 5: Oakland got for beating Kentucky.

1565
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 6: So it is a huge deal for the small schools.

1566
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 6: Like if you're going to be a fifteen or sixteen seed,

1567
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 6: you might as well as be a sixteen because you

1568
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 6: might get the benefit of winning in Dayton and all

1569
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,959
Speaker 6: of a sudden making a whole lot of money win us.

1570
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 4: To clarify, for Kaitlyn Clark and crew, you can watch

1571
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 4: them on True TV and HBO Max.

1572
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 8: All right.

1573
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Also, we've got the winner of tonight's game between Howard

1574
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: and U NBC goes to play Michigan, so you got that.

1575
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 2: To look forward to. In the winner of the North

1576
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 2: Carolina State Texas game would play BYU in the first round.

1577
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: So so it's happening in the world of sports. Anything

1578
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: else you want to throw inkybe James, I'm good.

1579
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,200

01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 3: They usually match it up with all tournament games.

1606
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 5: So cheese bread, two pounds of chicken strips, churros. What

1607
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,240

Speaker 2: Cluster Truck stops by, and I'm looking forward to getting

1613
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,240

Speaker 2: All right, it is NCAA tournament time.

1619
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: We got the first four games coming up tonight and

1620
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow to tonight to tomorrow obviously, and then Purdue gets

1621
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: going in Saint Louis on Friday night, seven thirty five,

1622
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: they take on Queens from Charlotte.

1623
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure most people know that story by now.

1624
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Do we have Oscar Cluff talking about what he knew

1625
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: originally when they found out that they were playing against

1626
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Queen's the other.

1627
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 9: Daymore you have Queen's first round in Saint Louis. What

1628
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 9: was your reaction when you saw that pairing?

1629
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: Tom, Wait, let's get gone.

1630
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 9: What do you know about Queens.

1631
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 6: New York somewhere Charlotte?

1632
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 9: That's North Carolina. That's okay, that's okay, a Sun champs.

1633
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 9: They won in overtime, turn ting into March madness.

1634
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, right.

1635
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 2: Just ready to play, ready to play?

1636
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 8: Who else?

1637
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 2: There you go?

1638
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: And you know what, there's probably a lot of people

1639
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: didn't know that Queens was in Charlotte, North Carolina.

1640
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 6: I believe that.

1641
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 5: From which TV Angelo Morey in they are interviewing Oscar

1642
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 5: Cluff after the Big ten title game.

1643
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,759
Speaker 6: Yes, I I'm right there with the big Australian.

1644
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 3: I had no idea.

1645
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 5: I assumed it was Queens, New York until last week.

1646
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, their first year in D one or first

1647
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 5: I should say, eligible for the tournament there. Grant Leonard,

1648
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 5: their coach, joined us here coming up at not Uh.

1649
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 5: They are a it's a small gym down there. It's

1650
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 5: a lot of kind of junior college transfers. Again, very

1651
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 5: balanced scoring and they can score not a lot of

1652
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 5: big dudes, and that a Sun Championship game. They had

1653
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 5: to dude Chris Ashby. All he did was shoot threes.

1654
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,560
Speaker 3: And he hit ton of them. So C. J.

1655
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,719
Speaker 5: Cox, get your track shoes on because you'll be chasing

1656
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 5: that dude around there.

1657
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, they give up a lot of points.

1658
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 5: So I think Purdue, from a Kluff Kaufman Wren size advantage,

1659
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 5: will be trying to tap into that.

1660
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the thing that I'll ask you guys this question.

1661
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 2: Is it possible that Purdue, you know, who was so

1662
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 2: hyped up coming into the year, And I think rightfully so, Mark,

1663
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 2: your mic is on, Mark, Mark, you're still your mic

1664
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 2: is still on.

1665
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 6: Buddy Todd is on the right, and you can't hear us.

1666
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: Mark doesn't have his headphones on. He's having a stellar day.

1667
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: You your mic is still on?

1668
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 6: Oh sorry, Corbyn walked in.

1669
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 2: I'll ask you this question, Kevin.

1670
01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Is it possible that psychologically this team just kind I

1671
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: got through the Big Ten regular season and now they

1672
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: are mentally more prepared to play because this is go

1673
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: time for them and they've been through the regular season

1674
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:10,759
Speaker 1: before and all that stuff.

1675
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 2: Or did they just really struggled defensively for a stretch there.

1676
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 5: I know, Yeah, I mean that's probably me. It's like

1677
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 5: it's kind of an easy cop out just to say that.

1678
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 5: You know, I brought up on Sday's show and I

1679
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 5: was at the Bulldog on Friday night for our Jack

1680
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 5: Daniels small ball event. You know, someone was saying to me, like, hey,

1681
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 5: in our Purdue group text, people have kind of viewed

1682
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 5: it as almost an NBA team going through the motions

1683
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 5: of a regular season where you know you're going to

1684
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 5: be in the playoffs in the tournament. And no matter

1685
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 5: what Purdue could have gone, they could have had miamil

1686
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 5: Hyle's regular.

1687
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 6: Season, and what would we have said.

1688
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 2: Still, right where we're at, all that matters is March. Yeah.

1689
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 5: I mean that's just the nature. And that's more probably

1690
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 5: program than anything. It's not necessarily due to Braiden Smith

1691
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 5: and Fletcher Lawyer and dracoffin rems ten year. You know,

1692
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 5: maybe at some point this week we can play some

1693
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 5: of the Braden Smith audio because I think he's been

1694
01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 5: very honest about you know, legacy and what's missing from it.

1695
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 5: And I mean it's an incredible story, incredible run. They've

1696
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 5: had there, but you just have the one missing chap.

1697
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 5: It'd be the same thing if Indiana would have lost,

1698
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 5: if Carson Beck doesn't throw a pick on the last drive,

1699
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 5: and if he goes down there and finishes off that comeback,

1700
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 5: it just leaves a little bit of that sour taste

1701
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 5: and what is an insane story. I kind of feel

1702
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 5: similarly about Purdue. If you aren't in Indie, if you

1703
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 5: aren't try.

1704
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 2: Now the nuts.

1705
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 5: And that's a credit to them for creating such incredibly

1706
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 5: high expectations what they've done everything. They've won multiple Big

1707
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,520
Speaker 5: Ten Tournament titles, they won multiple Big ten regular season championships,

1708
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 5: they won seven NCAA Tournament games. Right now, we fully

1709
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 5: expect them to at least get to the second weekend, if.

1710
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 6: Not further there.

1711
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, maybe it was I don't know, a little

1712
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 5: bit of kind of like playing a little freer but defensively, again,

1713
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 5: they were outstanding the Big Ten Tournament. I know I

1714
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 5: said it a lot yesterday, but I think that's what

1715
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 5: truly stands out about what they did in Chicago. It's

1716
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 5: not like they won the Big Ten Tournament and led

1717
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 5: for one hundred and fifty two of one hundred and

1718
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 5: sixty minutes. Yes, that speaks for itself. But how they

1719
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:10,520
Speaker 5: won it. They didn't win it with a bunch of shootouts.

1720
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 5: They won it with defense. Nebraska had one of their

1721
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 5: lowest point totals, Ucla had one of their lower point totals.

1722
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 5: Michigan at one of their lower point totals. I do

1723
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,759
Speaker 5: think that should give Purdue some confidence heading into this week.

1724
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think Queen's is going to have a

1725
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: lot as you mentioned a moment ago, Queen's James is

1726
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of problems with Oscar Clubb

1727
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: and Trey Kaufman Rent.

1728
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking at him.

1729
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 11: Though.

1730
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 4: They're a very balanced team offensively. I'm counting one, two, three, four, five,

1731
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 4: six players that average double figures for them. So it

1732
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 4: does seem like, you know, it necessarily isn't shutting off

1733
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 4: one guy's water. It's trying to keep up with an

1734
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 4: offense that is one of the best in the country,

1735
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 4: and so they put some points on the board. We

1736
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 4: talked to Rob Blackman yesterday. He was mentioning how much

1737
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 4: they can score and how much they also give up points,

1738
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 4: So how do you take advantage of that? And one

1739
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 4: of them will be probably the size there for sure.

1740
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 6: Jeff and Vindu fans have a legit beef that Missouri

1741
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 6: could be playing in their home state in Round two.

1742
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 4: A little bit, I guess, But I feel like we

1743
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 4: have these conversations every year with different teams around the country,

1744
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I think you should just be

1745
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 4: a better team than.

1746
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: You get to the Final four and be planning not

1747
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: too far away from home either.

1748
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 5: Obviously, Purdue had an advantage last year in the Sweet sixteen,

1749
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 5: playing in their home state against Houston.

1750
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll brought up, and then Houston still won the game.

1751
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,759
Speaker 4: So it's like you gotta go out there and just compete.

1752
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 4: I think.

1753
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's hard to, you know, totally scrub

1754
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 5: every seed and like you'll sift through all and try

1755
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 5: to achieve that.

1756
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 3: I do.

1757
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 5: Like I think Florida should have a real gripe. You know, again,

1758
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 5: Florida's in the South region here that is in Houston,

1759
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 5: and so Florida and Houston gets the Elite eight. Like

1760
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 5: I think you should protect the one seed I guess

1761
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 5: in all these regions, like as best you can, I

1762
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 5: get them. Maybe you can't do it at the seven, eight,

1763
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 5: nine seeds. It's hard to predict all these upsets happening.

1764
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 3: And all of that.

1765
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 5: But you know, for the one seeds, I do feel

1766
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 5: like as best as you can. You know, last year,

1767
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 5: could you have sent Purdue to another region for example?

1768
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1769
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 4: As the four well, I mean I have a couple

1770
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 4: of solutions. You got Southport, got Newcastle, got see more.

1771
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 4: We can handle all these things right here in this date.

1772
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 6: Some of those are busy this week, I go. Some

1773
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 6: of those sites are busy on Saturday.

1774
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 4: That is true, that is true.

1775
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 2: They've been spoken for James.

1776
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be a Newcastle. I'll let your boy.

1777
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: All right, all right, coming up in just a moment,

1778
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,879
Speaker 1: we will talk a little bit more about the opening

1779
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: games for the NCAA Tournament tonight. Also retirement here in

1780
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: college basketball, close to home, the Pacers getting ready to

1781
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: take on the Knicks tonight. Is it time to snap

1782
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: the thirteen game losing streak they could afford to It's

1783
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: the Knicks, let's go.

1784
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next. Ninety three five, one oh

1785
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 2: seven five.

1786
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 7: If you were listening to a fan morning show on

1787
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 7: sports radio ninety three five and one oh seven five.

1788
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: The fan, my goodness, s winter is making one last

1789
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: stand here in central Indiana. I don't think it's going

1790
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: to get out of the twenties today, although by the

1791
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: weekend is supposed to get back.

1792
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 2: Up into the seventies.

1793
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: So, as you pointed out earlier, Kevin, welcome, welcome to

1794
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 1: Indiana in March.

1795
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 6: Sadly, sadly, I said it out loud yesterday driving home

1796
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 6: from the show. I said, this weather doesn't know what

1797
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 6: it wants to do today, because it was windy, snowing,

1798
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 6: and then the sun came out. Then it snowed again,

1799
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 6: and it snowed while the sun was out.

1800
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 5: It was wilder weather days I can recall in quite

1801
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 5: some time here YouTube chat once again heavily debating Indiana

1802
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 5: and Purdue. I believe the I you fans are out

1803
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 5: in full force about Purdue losing two higher seated teams.

1804
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 8: There.

1805
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 5: There's probably a joke about Indiana not even being in

1806
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 5: the tournament to play any sort of seed here. Did

1807
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 5: you guys see the financial figure kind of going around

1808
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,799
Speaker 5: on social media yesterday about how much college basketball programs

1809
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 5: are spending.

1810
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 4: I did see that, but I didn't read enough about

1811
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 4: it to understand the full scope of it. Because when

1812
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 4: I understand this was not like N nil number. This

1813
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 4: was something a little bit different.

1814
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the operational budget might be more of

1815
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 5: like the term.

1816
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah to use there.

1817
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 5: And obviously Indiana they are paying I believe two buyouts, right,

1818
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,719
Speaker 5: You're paying Mike Woodson's buyout and you're paying Dared Reese's

1819
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 5: buyout with West Virginia. So I think that is contributing

1820
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 5: to that financial figure. Now, I'll go back to what

1821
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 5: I said. Don't know if I said it on Monday

1822
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 5: show with how you not making the tournament, certainly said

1823
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 5: it last week after the loss to Northwestern. I don't

1824
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 5: need to be shown any sort of dollar figure to

1825
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 5: know that. I firmly believe no program invests more and

1826
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 5: has gotten less on that return than Indiana University's men's

1827
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 5: basketball program. And when I say invest, yes, you mean

1828
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 5: some nil. Certainly mean it from a facility standpoint, butts

1829
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 5: in seats, you know, however, you want to quantify that,

1830
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 5: And then obviously the return would just be wins and

1831
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 5: SA tournament appearances. And you know, again, in the last

1832
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 5: ten years, the two NCAA tournament wins are Wyoming Kent State,

1833
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 5: and one of those is in Dayton it's just it's

1834
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 5: the cheerleader on the shoulders getting the ball off the

1835
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 5: top of the top of the goal. And so that's

1836
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 5: what's got to change. And again I will credit Darren Devrees.

1837
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 5: I thought late in the season when he did talk

1838
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 5: about what needs to change with his roster, I thought

1839
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 5: he was very honest and accurate with what needs to change.

1840
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 5: There is part of me that thinks, to myself, wait

1841
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 5: a minute, you didn't know the Big Ten had legit?

1842
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 6: Big dudes, have you been living under a rock? It's

1843
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 6: in the name for the last you know, X amount

1844
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 6: of years.

1845
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 4: Here.

1846
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 5: I get you didn't coach on the conference, but you're

1847
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 5: not just not watching that conference at all. There, So

1848
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 5: that was a little I don't get it, But at

1849
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 5: least he's acknowledging it, because I'd argue the coach before

1850
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 5: him was way too stubborn to ever change his ways.

1851
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 2: Having said that, how's it feel to be?

1852
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: And look, we got this On the other side during

1853
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: football season, they're perdue people saying, oh, you ever talk

1854
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: about his Indiana football?

1855
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 8: All these days?

1856
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: All you ever talked about is Indiana football. But if

1857
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: you're an Indiana fan, how you feeling this week? Is

1858
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: it once again, Purdue is on a roll, looking to

1859
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: go deep into the NCAA tournament, and you're watching on

1860
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: TV and wondering who you're starting five is even going

1861
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: to look like and be next year if.

1862
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 4: It is what eighteen and fourteen not one of the

1863
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 4: top sixty eight teams in the country. So you can't

1864
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 4: feel good about it, and you're probably annoyed because, to

1865
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 4: Kevin's point, your history and the money you invest currently

1866
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 4: should at least get you in the dance. And that's

1867
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 4: kind honestly, like from the outside of perspective, being the

1868
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 4: Illinois transplant to Indiana, that's what's most shocking about it,

1869
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 4: is like, man, that program has fallen off so much

1870
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 4: to the point where you're just asking to get into

1871
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 4: the dance in any capacity. We're not saying like get

1872
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 4: to a sweet sixteen, just get in and for that

1873
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 4: to be your baseline, and you can't even reach that.

1874
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 4: It is troubling and I just wonder, I'm a calling

1875
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 4: for a job by any means, But how quickly do

1876
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 4: these demands, if they're not met, have to be up

1877
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 4: met with change. You got one year with Darren Derees,

1878
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 4: and granted it's just one season. I'm not gonna write

1879
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,759
Speaker 4: them off just yet. But in the age of nil,

1880
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 4: how much patience do you have when you don't deliver?

1881
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,919
Speaker 4: And by deliver, I mean again, just make the tournament.

1882
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 4: This is like with the cults, where it's like, just

1883
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 4: make the playoffs and you seem like you're asking for

1884
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 4: a lot, but it really shouldn't be a lot given

1885
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 4: the resources.

1886
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I forget the stat out there, but I want

1887
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 5: to say it's like twelve of the last sixteen years.

1888
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 5: It might be bigger than that. They finished five hundred

1889
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 5: or worse than the Big ten. I mean, to your point,

1890
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 5: I would argue it might be harder to make the

1891
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 5: NFL playoffs.

1892
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 4: And what we're asking, oh absolutely absolutely like the same

1893
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 4: feeling of like apathy and feeling like you're middling.

1894
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm asking you to walk one mile

1895
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 5: in the mini marathon here coming up in a month

1896
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 5: and a half.

1897
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 6: I'm asking you to go win the race, right, And

1898
01:20:59,360 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 6: that's what.

1899
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 5: I think think is just Yeah, it would be maddening

1900
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 5: for I would assume for the IU fan base to

1901
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,679
Speaker 5: have to continue to go through it, and you're gonna

1902
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 5: have to do the same song and dance next year,

1903
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 5: rebuilding pretty much the whole roster. Yeah, like that's the same.

1904
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,680
Speaker 5: And that's where I was confused with the Reese's first year.

1905
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 5: It's like, where's the balance of, yes, you want some

1906
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 5: first year guys to try and obviously win, but also

1907
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 5: don't you want to develop some of these younger guys

1908
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 5: that have multiple years eligibility And the predu aspect, of course,

1909
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 5: is going to be frustrating. When where did Biden Smith

1910
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 5: play high scholasketball?

1911
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 2: Westfield?

1912
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 3: Where did Fletcher Lawyer play high schol basketball?

1913
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1914
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 3: Where did Treke Coffman wren especially Trake Goffin Reren? Where

1915
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 3: did he play high scholasketball?

1916
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 2: They know they're losing that on all the local kids.

1917
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 5: And you know, Cauflan Wrenn was a decently highly ranked recruit,

1918
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 5: but obviously Braiden Smith was not. That's pretty well documented

1919
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,759
Speaker 5: in Fletcher Lawyer wasn't even a major major recruit. Granted

1920
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 5: he did move into the state a little bit into

1921
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 5: his high school career.

1922
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 2: And now I got Louke Gurtle going to produe too.

1923
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: Sure, So yeah, I don't know, this might be overly harsh,

1924
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: you guys, tell me Gary Texson tween seventy. If Scott

1925
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: Dolson didn't hit it so big on Signetty, he'd be

1926
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: the worst ad in the history of IU. Is that

1927
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: a little harsh?

1928
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 4: If he did? Bradenst coach in the sport, it looks like.

1929
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 2: A little harsh to me.

1930
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 6: Arguably the greatest higher in the sports histories.

1931
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 5: So I mean, yeah, what do they say about ifs

1932
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 5: and aunts and uncles and all that, if.

1933
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 4: Well, it is Saint Patrick's Day and if if we're

1934
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 4: a fifth we'd all be drunk right.

1935
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 6: Now, James.

1936
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 5: Crazy question popped into my head as I saw you

1937
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 5: tweet from Southport on Saturday, and maybe I'm the only

1938
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 5: one that cares about it, and I'll enjoy this. You know,

1939
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 5: Purdue next few weeks here, who starts a point guard

1940
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 5: for Purdue next year?

1941
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 4: Many of those watching Saturday would have said, Braiden. I'm

1942
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 4: not Braiden, So I'm sorry Luke Urtle because of what

1943
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 4: he was doing. But I don't necessarily know. I do

1944
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 4: thinker Meyer, Yeah, he's on a.

1945
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 2: Nice little second half of the season.

1946
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 6: I don't know if CJ.

1947
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 5: Cox is a point guard, but like he does a

1948
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 5: lot of you know, there's like how I've said a

1949
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 5: million times, there's an m hard vibe to him for me,

1950
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 5: or if you're Matt Painter, do you just hand rd

1951
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 5: of the ball day one?

1952
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think part of that conversation. And it's not

1953
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 4: to diminish what Luke Ertle is doing by any means.

1954
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 4: He's a great, great high school player, and I think

1955
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:13,759
Speaker 4: he'll be a great college player. But I think Braiden

1956
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,639
Speaker 4: Smith has reached a level where it's probably unfair to compact,

1957
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 4: compare the next guy and say he's going to be

1958
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 4: the next Braiden Smith. That is probably not going to

1959
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 4: happen because Braiden Smith is He's had one of the

1960
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 4: best careers I've ever seen in the Big Ten, let

1961
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 4: alone college basketball. So I wouldn't be surprised if they

1962
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 4: ease Luke into it, mainly because of the shoes he's

1963
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 4: trying to replace, and like you said, you have other options,

1964
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 4: the more experienced, So it's not not gonna Luke at all.

1965
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 4: I think he's a great player, a great kid. I as, Yeah,

1966
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 4: But the point is, I think, but I think if

1967
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 4: you win that gym, everyone's like it has to be him,

1968
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 4: and it's like, well, remember he won't be playing these

1969
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 4: guys at the next level, so keep that in mind.

1970
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 4: But Luke Man, he's the truth man. That kid, especially

1971
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 4: when I love about him, he never reacts to anything.

1972
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 4: He probably has the best sportsmanship and character I've seen

1973
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 4: if any high school in recent years because good call

1974
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 4: back Hall. He just doesn't react as a robot, and

1975
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 4: because of it, he's a killer.

1976
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 2: Coming up. At a moment, we will speak with a head

1977

Speaker 2: happy to have you today, Good.

Speaker 8: lead up into this segment.

2003
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 2: I like it right there. Look, this is the first

2004
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 2: year you guys have been eligible for the NCAA tournament

2005
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 2: and you make your way in. How special is that?

2006
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 1: How special has this been on a campus that is

2007
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: in the city of Charlotte, and is it relatively small?

2008
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 2: I would imagine it's a pretty cool feeling there.

2009
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 8: Yeah. Man, the city's really you know, supported us and

2010
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 8: got behind us, and it's been awesome to see me.

2011
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, you drop up a plan four

2012
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 8: years ago to hopefully execute it, but here we are

2013
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,560
Speaker 8: and it happened, and just so happy for our players.

2014
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 5: It's Grant Leonard, the head coach of the Queen's Royals,

Speaker 5: us back in the nine o'clock hour. Coach, You've been

2019
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 5: a part of the program for a long time, and

2020
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 5: obviously the transition from D two to D one, I'm

2021
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 5: sure is quite something there for those that maybe aren't

2022
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 5: super familiar with your guys, whatever trajectory to this level.

2023
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,560
Speaker 5: Could you fill us in a little bit just background

2024
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 5: you with this program and you with this coaching staff.

2025
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is my thirteenth year with the program. In

2026
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 8: the first nine, I was the associated head coach when

2027
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 8: we were Division two and we were really good. Four

2028
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 8: of our last six seasons we had thirty win seasons,

2029
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 8: which is unique. It's hard to do in college basketball.

2030
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 8: And we went to multiple leadates and final fours in

2031
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 8: that tenure. And then my boss actually took UW Milwaukee

2032
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:41,640
Speaker 8: head coaching job, which is my hometown. And I have

2033
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,679
Speaker 8: the dubious honor of being the only coach in basketball

2034
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 8: history to go from division to assistants Division one head

2035
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 8: coach in the same hiring cycle. And you know, we

2036
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 8: started off our first year and opened it up with

2037
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 8: a win versus Marshall in our first Division one game,

2038
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 8: and we've been plugging along ever since. And this year,

2039
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 8: in our first year eligib here we are dancing again.

2040
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 4: We're talking to Grant Leonard, the coach of Queens who

2041
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 4: will face Purdue on Friday. Grant, when you look at

2042
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 4: your roster in the way it's kind of built up,

2043
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 4: you do have a lot of guys who obviously stayed

2044
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 4: over from them when you all with Division two added

2045
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 4: a couple of transfers. What is Avante Parker meant as

2046
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 4: an addition? I know, he's kind of a throwback is

2047
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 4: player and someone who can get it done down low.

2048
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and that's that's it's Division two. Definitely.

2049
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 8: The difference is, uh, you know, the positional size and

2050
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 8: so you know, and this year when we announced that

2051
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 8: we were going to be able to be tournament eligible,

2052
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 8: we were able to go into the portal and get

2053
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 8: three bigs that had Division one experience. Avante Parker from

2054
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 8: Georgia Southern, Gus Larson from cal Berkeley, and Carson Schweger

2055
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 8: from Valpo. And those guys are really like the backbone

2056
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 8: of how we've been able to kind of take the

2057
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 8: turn and become a conference champion at this level.

2058
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 4: And then one follow up to that, when you're waiting

2059
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 4: to elevate to the one level, what is that like,

2060
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 4: Like you're competing last year obviously in a different tournament

2061
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,719
Speaker 4: at this time of the year, when you're building towards

2062
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 4: what you're doing now, is there a different change in

2063
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 4: process or anything like that. I'm just very curious about

2064
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:14,640
Speaker 4: that when you know you're going to Division one, but

2065
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 4: unlike people might not actually know, you don't necessarily change

2066
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 4: year to year. You have to wait. It's a process.

2067
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, and so you know you can even if we

2068
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 8: won the conference tournament, you know, we wouldn't have been

2069
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 8: able to go, but we did play in the CBI

2070
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 8: last year. But I think more importantly, instead of changing

2071
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 8: the process, we're just more focused on the process during

2072
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 8: that time. Just heay it, let's get better daily, let's

2073
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 8: continue to learn and grow in Division one. You know,

2074
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 8: last year we had a twenty one season despite the

2075
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 8: fact not being tournament eligible, and the first year in

2076
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 8: Division one, we won eighteen games with an entirely Division

2077
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 8: two roster. So incredibly proud of our guys and the

2078
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 8: toughness in fort two that they had during that time.

2079
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 8: And we wouldn't be here today. It wasn't for those

2080
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 8: guys forging through those.

2081
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 2: Fires, coach, and we're talking to Grant Leonard of the

2082
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 2: head Coat Bunch of Queens. They'll be playing for do

2083
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,759
Speaker 2: in the first round on Friday night in the NTAA Tournament.

2084
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 2: What do you see when you watch the boiler Makers

2085
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 2: on tape right now?

2086
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 8: First of all, you know, I think they've been one

2087
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 8: of one of the five best programs in college basketball

2088
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 8: in the last decade, and they're there. Their excellence is

2089
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 8: it's in everything they do. And for the first thing

2090
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 8: that sticks out, especially in that last game versus Machine,

2091
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 8: the physicality is incredible, how they set screens, how they

2092
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 8: duck in all those things is awesome. Then then obviously

2093
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 8: I think they have one of the five best players

2094
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 8: in America, and I voted I voted their point guard

2095
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 8: to be first team All American in my ballot for

2096
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 8: the NABC so so, and then they have phenomenal shooting.

2097
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 8: And what's incredible is is they actually take more long

2098
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 8: twos than maybe anyone in the country. And then they're

2099
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 8: the most efficient offense in America. So I hope no

2100
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 8: one thinks the mid range is dead because Purdue is

2101
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 8: keeping it alive and well, did you kind of.

2102
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,759
Speaker 5: Hit on it a little bit, but Braten dismiss ability

2103
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 5: to quarterback at all? What do you see from him

2104
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 5: as just a pure peer point guard?

2105
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,559
Speaker 8: First time? He's probably the smartest kid in America basketball lives.

2106
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 8: I mean, you just can't speed him up, and he's

2107
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 8: seen every coverage and carved all of them up, so

2108
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 8: you know, he's an incredible player. And I just really

2109
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 8: the one thing I love about him is you can

2110
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 8: tell he plays for his teammates and he's always trying

2111
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 8: to get guys the ball in their spots and he

2112
01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 8: does an unbelievable job of that. He's been an incredible

2113
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 8: player for many years. And hats off to him because

2114
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 8: he wasn't the most highly recruited kid, and we got

2115
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 8: a bunch of kids like that in our team and

2116
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 8: you can just see it doesn't matter. He just works

2117
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 8: and works, and hats off to him for that.

2118
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 5: That is Grant Leonard again, the head coach of produced

2119
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 5: opposition coming up on Friday night in Saint Louis. It's

2120
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 5: Queens in their first year eligible to make the tournament.

2121
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 5: They do, indeed do that three seed I believe in

2122
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 5: the conference. Sermon, Coach, Chris Ashby a guard for you

2123
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 5: shot the ball nineteen times in your conference championship overtime win.

2124
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 5: He made ten of those nineteen three point attempts. Is

2125
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,559
Speaker 5: this the net on a day of green? Does he

2126
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 5: have the greenest green light you've ever seen?

2127
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,640
Speaker 8: He's got an ultra green light. That's not even the

2128
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 8: most threes he's taken in the game for US. He

2129
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 8: took twenty six last year at Central Arkansas. And you

2130
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 8: know the best thing about Chris is very like when

2131
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 8: I say not recruited, kid like man. No one really

2132
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 8: thought he could play at this level and he comes here.

2133
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 8: He's the all time leading three point makes in Queen's history,

2134
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 8: second all time in a Sun history, top fifty all

2135
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 8: time in NCAA history. He's an incredible kid. And the

2136
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 8: best part about it, he has the best practice pace

2137
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 8: if any player I've ever coached in twenty plus years.

2138
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 8: Every single rep, even if at seven am when I'm

2139
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 8: sneaking in the back door to get to my office

2140
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,479
Speaker 8: and I walk in every morning, he's in there seven

2141
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 8: am shooting game speed every single rep. He's an amazing kid.

2142
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 8: And now he's going to get to do it on

2143
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 8: national stage.

2144
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,599
Speaker 4: He shooting thirty eight percent from three on basically nine

2145
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 4: attempts a game.

2146
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 2: I love it.

2147
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,919
Speaker 4: Oh, I love it. They say Steph Curry ruined basketball,

2148
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 4: but I'm not so sure. Grant Leonard, again, we're talking

2149
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 4: to the Queen's head coach of Pison Purdue on Friday

2150
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 4: in the NCAA tournament. Coach, when you look at what

2151
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 4: this run has meant to your program, not just the

2152
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 4: players on the team, but the surrounding community and things

2153
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,640
Speaker 4: like that, when you're kind of looked at as like

2154
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 4: the underdog in these situations. Now, I know you obviously

2155
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 4: you have to play the game and you go out

2156
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 4: there to win, and I want to write you off,

2157
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 4: But what is that meant to get to this point?

2158
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 4: And how excited is your community for this opportunity?

2159
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:51,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's just amazing again for our program

2160
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 8: and our players, for our families, for the entire school

2161
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 8: which people are learning about, and you know, like, hey,

2162
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:00,879
Speaker 8: is it in New York? No, it actually in Charlotte.

2163
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 8: And I love that It's cool that, like again that

2164
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 8: that conversation is even happening and the community of Charlotte

2165
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 8: is really behind us and everyone gets to share in this.

2166
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 8: It's the first right and we're really proud to represent

2167
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 8: who we are in this game. It's going to be

2168
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 8: incredibly difficult game. Okay, Purdue is phenomenal, but for our guys,

2169
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 8: it's about proving that they belong and we hopefully this

2170
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 8: isn't the only time we do this. Hopefully we get

2171
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 8: we get to go back to the tournament, but just

2172
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 8: really proud of what we accomplished and hopefully we got

2173
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 8: a little more to do.

2174
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: Coach, I'm very familiar with the city of Charlotte. I've

2175
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 1: worked there quite a bit, and your campus has kind

2176
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,639
Speaker 1: of nestled into a beautiful older part of the city

2177
01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 1: which is not too far from the city center or

2178
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 1: up down, and it's a lot it's green, there are

2179
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:51,599
Speaker 1: a lot of trees.

2180
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 2: It's very cool. It's an older, tight neighborhood.

2181
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,920
Speaker 1: But how often do you guys have to correct people

2182
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 1: and say, no, we're Queen's in Charlotte, not Quans in

2183
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: New York.

2184
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, less and less by the day, right,

2185
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:08,480
Speaker 8: but uh, it still happens. But Myers Park the neighborhood

2186
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 8: we're in, and if you get on Zillo, don't don't

2187
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:12,600
Speaker 8: feel bad. You're probably not gonna be able to live

2188
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 8: there because I don't live there. I live the next

2189
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 8: neighborhood over. But but it is. It's amazing and and

2190
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 8: and again the recognition that something like this does. Our

Speaker 8: school has over three billion hits on media, social media,

2192
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:31,320

Speaker 5: Coach, you still it right out of my mouth. Buddy

01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 5: the Street Dog is a legend in your neck of

2198
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 5: the woods. And I think we'll be introduced to the

2199
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 5: nation here. Could you fill our audience in on Buddy

2200
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 5: the Street Dog.

2201
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, you know summer. Summer is a fun time.

2202
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,679
Speaker 8: You know, you're practicing and uh, you know you don't

2203
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 8: you don't play a game for months, right, So you know,

2204
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 8: we're trying to get our guys to compete and really

2205
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 8: go at each other. And so you know, our players

2206
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 8: are saying that they are dogs, and so one of

2207
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 8: our assistants goes, well, what kind of dog are you?

2208
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 8: And he didn't mean Rottwiler. He goes, are you a

2209
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 8: pet co dog, are you spoiled? Or are you a

2210
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 8: street dog who fights for your stuff? And they're like,

2211
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 8: we're street dogs. So then you know, I found Buddy

2212
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 8: on the internet and said this, We're going to adopt

2213
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 8: the street dog. And then the guy who does the

2214
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:24,200
Speaker 8: tough stuff every game, not the leading scorer, but the

2215
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,719
Speaker 8: guy who does the big time box outs or takes

2216
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,759
Speaker 8: a charge or dives on the floor, those energy plays

2217
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 8: that change a game. That guy wins Buddy for that

2218
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 8: game and just embodies our spirit. He's kind of our

2219
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:36,679
Speaker 8: spirit animal.

2220
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:37,559
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

2221
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:38,120

2227
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 8: can tell you this is an incredible example of how

2228
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:59,000
Speaker 8: to build a program and what he represents coaches at

01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 8: the highest level see him speak multiple times in coaching

2230
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 8: settings and how he's handled this nil to still talk

2231
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 8: about building a program and being a leader of men

2232

2235
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:21,760

Speaker 2: good dude.

2246
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 1: He talked about Myers Park, which is there on the

2247
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 1: one edge of Myers Park. That's where Drake May went

2248
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 1: to high school park. So there's there's your random tie

2249
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 1: in right there has nothing to do with us, but

2250
01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 1: he said Myers Parking.

2251
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 2: Immediately thought, hey, Drake May.

2252
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 4: Boy, they shoot the three and he shoot at all.

2253
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:02,000
Speaker 4: That's the greatest equalizer, so.

2254
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 5: Defend that point attempts in one basketball I love the

2255
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:09,680
Speaker 5: question though in the teams they don't shoot twenty six

2256
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 5: threes in one game.

2257
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 4: Team they're gonna get him up.

2258
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 2: That's why I love the question about does he have

2259
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 2: the green light? And he goes, oh, He's got the

2260
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 2: ultimate green light.

2261
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:18,680
Speaker 6: You imagine what he's rocking to class today down there

2262
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 6: at Queens. I mean, man the green and Chris Ashby's

2263
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 6: closet there. But boy, I enjoyed that combo. Mark maybe

2264
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 6: cut some of that up for people that that that

2265
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 6: missed it. I thought some Purdue comments were great.

2266
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 5: You know, vote voting Braiden Smith right all Americans probably

2267
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:35,679

2268
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 5: for a first team All American there. And you know, again, James,

2269
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 5: when you asked him that question about you know, just

2270
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:42,680
Speaker 5: kind of what it means to your university. I mean

2271
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 5: the three billion you know, Butler, for example, they still

2272
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 5: have seen reciprocals from that Final four raw from an

2273
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,880
Speaker 5: enrollment standpoint and just an eyeball standpoint there. So pretty

2274
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:56,800

Speaker 8: Look at that.

2327
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 3: He looks like Eckersley coming out of the bullpen man.

2328
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 2: Probably just as efficient too.

2329
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 6: He might need be needed for the WBC tonight.

2330
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 4: He might throw.

2331
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 1: He's got he's got some sixth inning in him, doesn't

2332

Speaker 1: he middle relief.

2333
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:23,599
Speaker 6: He's got some bulldog. Yeah, he'll charge the mound.

2334
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 2: He's a street dog. Yeah, Scott, he'll do it all right.

Speaker 4: a great, great day.

2367
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 6: I like we've gotten every version of whether we possibly

2368
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 6: can in less like seventy two hours, and now it's

2369
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 6: gonna be seventy at the end of the week.

2370
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 5: We're really testing these high school gyms to go from

2371
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 5: the heater one week to the AC unit the next

2372
01:41:57,880 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 5: week there. So we might need to open up the

2373
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,240
Speaker 5: windows up there up top in Newcastle.

2374
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,519
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, when the world ends, Newcastle will

2375
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 4: still be there.

2376
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 2: I like it.

2377
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 1: First four begins tonight and TAA tournament. UNBC taken on

2378
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,759
Speaker 1: Howard of the first game, and then Texas goes against

2379
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina State in the second game tonight. I know

2380
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: it's not on your bracket, but who you got in

2381
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 1: these games? Kevin Bowen.

2382
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about either UNBC or Howard this

2383
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 2: year other than their records.

2384
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 4: Let's go with Howard and Antoine Bethe goo there.

2385
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:30,400
Speaker 6: Let's go with Howard and then Cam Heidi.

2386
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 3: They'll hit a corner. Three Texas will beat in C State.

2387
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 6: Will Wade right Sea State actually watch them, Nutre Dame

2388
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:38,719
Speaker 6: beat them, so they can't be any good.

2389
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:40,599
Speaker 2: Will Wade and Sean Miller.

2390
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: A couple of wiretap FBI things going on there aren't there, Kevin.

2391
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 5: I actually can't wait for tomorrow night. I don't pick

2392
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:50,759
Speaker 5: the play in. I don't necessarily believe it's the tournament,

2393
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 5: but I want to see my Ohio win tomorrow night.

2394
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 5: I want to see that story continue here into the

2395
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:56,519
Speaker 5: actual bracket.

2396
01:42:56,560 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 1: They will play SMU and the winner gets to go

2397
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 1: into the next round as an eleven seed, and they'll

2398
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 1: play A J.

2399
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 2: Debonson b Yu.

2400
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 4: Whoever wins that game, that's gonna be a good one.

2401
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 4: Aj Debanza, He's been I think gotten better at this

2402
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 4: point in the season, so can he puts him on

2403
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 4: his back?

2404
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 2: As we talked about a moment ago.

2405
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: Purdue plays their first round game on Friday night, seven

2406
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: thirty five in Saint Louis against Queens. We just heard

2407
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,040
Speaker 1: from their head coach, Grant Leonard on that one man.

2408
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:28,639
Speaker 1: Did he have a fu sive praise for Braden Smith,

2409
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:31,599
Speaker 1: talked about one of the best five players in all.

2410
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 2: Of college basketball. So we'll see how Friday night plays out.

2411
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 2: Pacers and Knicks go tonight. And the question is, does

2412
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 2: everybody except Pascal Siak I'm gonna play James Boyd. What

2413
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:43,759
Speaker 2: are we looking at? A bunch of guys questionable?

2414
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 4: Siakam out, he's doubtful right now. I know that Andrew

2415
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 4: Nimhart I believe is questionable. Aaron Nissa is questionable. So

2416
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 4: we will see letter today.

2417
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 1: All right, they play the next seven o'clock airtimes seven

2418
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 1: thirty tip time. You can hear it live right here

2419
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 1: on ninety three five one oh seven five the Fan.

2420
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:03,640
Speaker 1: Garrett is leaving Fisher's High School after a state championship

2421
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons ago, a state runner up last

2422
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 1: year one hundred and thirty two and twenty five, but

2423
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:11,120
Speaker 1: only three of those losses over the last three seasons.

2424
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 4: James Boyd, Yeah, from what I understand, he's going what's

2425
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 4: in Iowa Prep School?

2426
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: Correct, an e ybl Nike school that's on that Nike circuit.

2427
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: He'll be coaching the freshman and sophomores at a program there.

2428
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 1: Keith Smart coaches the juniors and seniors Kevin Bowen, So

2429
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 1: they'd be seeing a lot of really young, young high

2430
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: school talent go in there, some of the top players.

2431
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:34,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, And honestly, my first thought last time I saw

2432
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 5: this is what does it mean for Cooper Zachary senior year?

2433
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 5: What does it mean for Jason Gardner junior's senior year.

2434
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 5: I'm not naive to the climate we're in right now.

2435
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 5: It's not a guarantee that even the high schoolers or

2436
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 5: stay at their respective schools, and they probably want what

2437
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,719
Speaker 5: Garrett Weininger wants, and that's to continue to whatever progress

2438
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,560
Speaker 5: to upper levels of coaching or basketball.

2439
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 3: So I get it. I don't love it. I understand it.

2440
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 4: I need Cooper and Jason to post the graphic of

2441
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 4: I'm staying we've seen it at the college level now,

2442
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:07,000
Speaker 4: and I need that to, you know, feel my soul

2443
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 4: up this weekend.

2444
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, part of it those kids want to kind of

2445
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 1: finish what they've started together with this incredible run.

2446
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:13,639
Speaker 4: Well, those two kids are so good that they might

2447
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 4: be thinking, hey, I gotta get ready for the next level.

2448
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:17,559
Speaker 5: So I can't blame them for that either. I'll be honest, James,

2449
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if I want that at high school level.

2450
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:20,719
Speaker 5: I feel like it's only a matter of time before.

2451
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 4: We got into Oh well, it's it's a thing in

2452
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 4: Illinois already.

2453
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:25,719
Speaker 2: Seriously, a couple of states have that already.

2454
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 5: Kind of makes me get a little queasy. I feel

2455
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 5: like I just took another car bomb.

2456
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 2: Uh that's your third this morning?

2457
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 5: Right, Well, Mark's I think at four or five based

2458
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 5: off his effort today, don't get me started.

2459
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:38,640
Speaker 1: Mark started at four point thirty this morning and just

2460
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,080
Speaker 1: just kept right on rolling.

2461
01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 6: Tripping over the Leprechaun box in the living room and

2462
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:43,759
Speaker 6: all that stuff.

2463
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 5: I think the Braden Smith draft pick might have been

2464
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,120
Speaker 5: a panic move too. He was just scrambling to find somebody.

2465
01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 5: He's just like, I just got to go Brad Smith.

2466
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:50,000
Speaker 2: M hmm.

2467
01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily blame him, though, Lasi leg In Braid

2468
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 4: Smith is playing basketball currently, so that helps.

2469
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 6: I've written a note for myself as a draft someone

2470
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,719
Speaker 6: who is playing. See if that holds. I'm Kamar Baldwin

2471
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:03,919
Speaker 6: is on my more Honorable mention.

2472
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 3: A sticky note on your computer in there.

2473
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,679
Speaker 2: I like Kamar. We enjoyed getting to know him, didn't

2474
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:11,280
Speaker 2: It was awesome. He was great. He used to come

2475
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 2: in here as an intern.

2476
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:14,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, he came in here all the time.

2477
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 2: I love him. We've got NFL news.

2478
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 1: The Jets have traded Justin Field to the Kansas City

2479
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:23,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs for a twenty twenty seven to sixth rounder insurance

2480
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 1: in case Patrick Mahomes is not quite ready to go

2481
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season.

2482
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:29,000
Speaker 3: That's what I would assume.

2483
01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that makes sense if you're Kansas City

2484
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:35,720
Speaker 5: there and so, yeah, that one kind of checks out

2485
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 5: for me and.

2486
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 6: Wesseyfield might walk to Kansas City for saying you get

2487
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 6: to leave the Jets and go to Andy Reid and

2488
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes. He'd be like, okay, I'll start walking.

2489
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 5: You're curious if this has any sort of you know,

2490
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 5: are we moving on to kind of the next stage

2491
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 5: of quarterbacks and what does that mean for Anthony and

2492
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 5: Richardson and a trade candidate?

2493
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 2: Do we have another wave towards the middle end of

2494
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,920
Speaker 2: the week of NFL free agency signings with everyone, because

2495
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:58,519
Speaker 2: there's still a lot of folks out there.

2496
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 5: Calling it a wave would probably be a little bit

2497
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:02,680
Speaker 5: too much. Whatever, Like a ripple would be in the bathtub,

2498
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:03,479
Speaker 5: That's probably what.

2499
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 2: I would call it.

2500
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:05,759
Speaker 6: Throw pebbles in the river.

2501
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:07,760
Speaker 3: Thank you, Yes, bread to the Ducks. Mark.

2502
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 6: Bobby Okaake is still out there if you need some

2503
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:11,639
Speaker 6: linebacker help.

2504
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 3: I think that can make sense.

2505
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 1: Actually, I was looking at the linebackers, so Kaoke's out there,

2506
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 1: and older Bobby Wagner is available. Anybody else you see

2507
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: on those lists that really excites you?

2508
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 4: No, for me, probably not. Well, I mean Bobby, I

2509
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 4: don't necessarily, but Bobby I could be okay with. And

2510
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 4: again I'm more concerned about the edge rushers.

2511
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:34,160
Speaker 5: I've said Jermaine Pratt as a return candidate should be

2512
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 5: fine with. But yes, to James's point, edge rusher is

2513
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:37,679
Speaker 5: definitely the bigger concern.

2514
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,000
Speaker 2: All right, that's a tapping.

2515
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,240
Speaker 1: In the National Football League World Baseball Classic Championship game

2516
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:46,600
Speaker 1: is tonight. Mason Miller may or may not be available

2517
01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 1: for the United States. He has been a lights out closer,

2518
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 1: that's what he does. He was good for them so

2519
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 1: far in this tournament. They'll play Venezuela, who rallied to

2520
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:56,200
Speaker 1: beat Italy four to two last night.

2521
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 2: And Mark, you will have this on one of your

2522
01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:03,000
Speaker 2: screens this evening multiview most have you any predictions on

2523
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 2: the WBC tonight? USA? Of course I like that.

2524
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of Team USA, the women's basketball team and Caitlyn

2525
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:12,280
Speaker 1: Clark play again. They'll go up against Spain at five

2526
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: pm tonight. And that's another True TV or Sling TV

2527
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 1: or James doing things on the internet game.

2528
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah no, it says here on the official website True

Speaker 5: I know we got a question on the text line

Speaker 1: and Espiedo.

2577
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 2: I can tell you that right now. Nobody.

2578
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 5: This from Gary Butler shortlist, Alex Barlow, Ryan pete On,

2579
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:46,120
Speaker 5: Travis Steele, Ronald Nora, John Gross.

2580
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 3: Can I interest you in any of those?

2581
01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 4: I'm grous. I did look at Ryan Peton. You know

2582
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:55,680
Speaker 4: Illinois State now obviously a lower level he was a

2583
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 4: Holtman assistem I think, yeah, he was an assistant for

2584
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 4: about I want to say, three or four years with Holtman,

2585
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 4: so he has some relationship with there. With the program

2586
01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 4: has turned to Illinois State into like a winning program

2587
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,680
Speaker 4: I would say the last couple of years. So, but

2588
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,800
Speaker 4: I just don't know about that leap when it comes

2589
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 4: to going from that program to Butler, I probably want

2590
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 4: someone with a little more experience, maybe at a bigger

2591
01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 4: name program. Yeah, that's one of the reasons.

2592
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: I kind of like John Gross I mean, he's doing

2593
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 1: great things at Akron right now. You know a little

2594
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 1: bit about John Gross, right covered.

2595
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 4: Him in Illinois when he got fired and came out

2596
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:31,160
Speaker 4: and did an interview afterwards, which I thought was ridiculous.

2597
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:34,479
Speaker 4: Shout out to him. He is the nicest human being ever.

2598
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:36,679
Speaker 4: And I was thinking, boy, if I ever got fired

2599
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,040
Speaker 4: from anything, I'm never going to do voluntary work afterwards,

2600
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 4: unless I'm ripping the school. But jokes aside, since he's

2601
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,800
Speaker 4: gone to Akron, he has turned that program into a

2602
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 4: perennial winner and they've been to the NCAA Tournament. Not

2603
01:51:50,040 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 4: to take a dig, but more often than I you

2604
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 4: in recent years. So what he want to make that

2605
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 4: leap as well.

2606
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,560
Speaker 5: I assume Ronald nora At is probably viewed as the

2607
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:03,680
Speaker 5: favorite just because A He's got direct time.

2608
01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:05,479
Speaker 3: I mean, hell, he was sitting courtside a few games ago.

2609
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 3: I was at that game when he was there.

2610
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 5: And you know, when you look at the people in

2611
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 5: the decision making process, Grant line Decker, their ad played

2612
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:17,680
Speaker 5: with Ronald Nori D. Grant Gordon Hayward, you know, is

2613
01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 5: their pseudo a D. He obviously, uh played with Ronald

2614
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:22,320
Speaker 5: nord as well.

2615
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 4: So coach the NBA as well, So like that could

2616
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 4: be a draw as you know when it comes to recruiting,

2617
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,280
Speaker 4: like hey, I've seen the highest level coach to Brownsburg

2618
01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 4: back in the day, so you know, as a little

2619
01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 4: bit of the crazy to Indiana.

2620
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 3: But you know, I I'll I'll throw that PJ.

2621
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 5: Thompson name out again just you know, it's kind of

2622
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,240
Speaker 5: interests when you look at the pre staff under Matt Pain,

2623
01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,719
Speaker 5: none of them, not many of them have really progressed

2624
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:46,000
Speaker 5: to become head coaches. Like you know, I'm curious about

2625
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 5: Terry Johnson and Brandon Brantley and you know some of

2626
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 5: those other guys. I guess Paul Lusk a little, but

2627
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 5: like some of those other guys that have left, I'm

2628
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:55,800
Speaker 5: trying to think of the one dude that left and

2629
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:58,639
Speaker 5: went to somewhere like down in South Carolina as popping

2630
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 5: in my head here, But you PJ Thompson from a

2631
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 5: local standpoint, from Bbuff and you know, obviously he's very

2632
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 5: familiar with the area. You know, his brother of course

2633
01:53:09,200 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 5: played a Purdue as well and is on that staff.

2634
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 5: So you know, is that something if they thought outside

2635
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:16,360
Speaker 5: of the box on that.

2636
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a decent pool of candidates obviously there,

2637
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 1: and the question is whoever they hired. The expectation is

2638
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,720
Speaker 1: to get him back to being a competitor in the

2639
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 1: top third probably of the Big East, and a team

2640
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:32,639
Speaker 1: that makes its appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

2641
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:34,599
Speaker 2: Again, Kevin, that's what they're looking for over there.

2642
01:53:34,760 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 5: I know Jake asked Tom Crean about the job yesterday.

2643
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 5: What would you guys think about Tom Green taking.

2644
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 8: The Butler job.

2645
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:45,479
Speaker 2: That's really interesting because I think Tom Crean is a

2646
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,840
Speaker 2: terrific basketball coach, I really do. And I thought his

2647
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 2: answer was pretty telling too.

2648
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:55,759
Speaker 1: He didn't know that he necessarily fit into what Butler

2649
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:57,479
Speaker 1: would necessarily be looking for.

2650
01:53:58,960 --> 01:53:59,680
Speaker 2: But as I.

2651
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: Head just a lot of things that Kevin just talked about,

2652
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:04,600
Speaker 1: they may be looking closer to home, somebody with a

2653
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:07,720
Speaker 1: bigger tie to Butler. But I think Tom Creane is

2654
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: certainly a capable coach that would do a great job

2655
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 1: at Butler. I'd look at at least talk to him.

2656
01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:15,200
Speaker 4: I think he might be. He might have been out

2657
01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:17,000
Speaker 4: a bit too long for me to really give that

2658
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:22,200
Speaker 4: serious thought, like would you be willing to adjust the

2659
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,800
Speaker 4: nil embrace in il. I'm not saying he wouldn't, but

2660
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:26,960
Speaker 4: do you want someone who's kind of been in that

2661
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:28,479
Speaker 4: world already a little bit, or do you want him

2662
01:54:28,520 --> 01:54:30,479
Speaker 4: to kind of come back because the last time he

2663
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 4: coached in twenty twenty two, and the landscape in college

2664
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 4: basketball has changed drastically since then, So that would be

2665
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:39,280
Speaker 4: like my biggest concern. But ex'es and O was wise. Yeah,

2666
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 4: I trust him Mark.

2667
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 5: We had him on I want to say this time

2668
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:45,720
Speaker 5: last year and I thought he mentioned he had interviewed

2669
01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 5: for a big East opening. Now it's a couple of

2670
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 5: years ago now that I'm thinking about this out loud,

2671
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 5: and I think we try to connect the dots. I

2672
01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 5: think we thought it was de Paul, which a question

2673
01:54:56,960 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 5: I do have, And some people asked about this. You know,

2674
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,360
Speaker 5: Rus Holtman, what's a better job to Paul or Butler?

2675
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 2: I would think Butler.

2676
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 6: I would think Butler.

2677
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:09,160
Speaker 5: I you know again, I mean, I guess I don't

2678
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:11,480
Speaker 5: know the finances per se, and I get a Chicago

2679
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 5: versus Indy and things like that. But does Chris Holtman

2680
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 5: look at and say, you know what, I want to

2681
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:19,360
Speaker 5: go back there? Would Butler be open to that? Would

2682
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 5: Butler view and be like, well, or is it just

2683
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 5: gonna be a stepping stone thing?

2684
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:22,120
Speaker 8: Again?

2685
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 6: Is Butler in a point where they can even.

2686
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 4: Think like that?

2687
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 5: Do they just need to get back on a you know,

2688
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:29,360
Speaker 5: more of a solid foundation. People brought up Michael Shrewsbury,

2689
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:35,560
Speaker 5: how do you feel about that? I want to see Showsbury.

2690
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 3: Rite it out.

2691
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 5: But again, if you're him and you few yourself on

2692
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 5: a hot seat for this coming season, do you do

2693
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 5: the Buzz Williams thing. Buzz Williams always mastered the let

2694
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:46,200
Speaker 5: me get out of the job before they don't like me.

2695
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 5: You know, three years here, four years there, three years here,

2696
01:55:49,600 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 5: four years It just beautiful job by Buzz Williams with that.

2697
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:55,160
Speaker 5: You know, again, is that something that he would do.

2698
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 5: He obviously went to high school here, et cetera, et cetera.

2699
01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:01,760
Speaker 5: I don't think that's there. If you had to give

2700
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 5: me a get Rudy Figger on high I'd say nor D.

2701
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 5: But you know what that list looks like. For Grant

2702
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:09,480
Speaker 5: Line Decker, I'd be very interested.

2703
01:56:09,400 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 2: The guys we just talked about right now.

2704
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,240
Speaker 1: My first three would probably if you could get Chris Holton,

2705
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 1: and I think he understands exactly what Butler basketball is about.

2706
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,200
Speaker 2: I think he's a great head coach. I think he'd

2707
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 2: be perfect. I do like John Gross and then I

2708
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 2: do like no D. My biggest concern with him is

2709
01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 2: not a lot of college experience there.

2710
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 4: From nor D. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. But I also

2711
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 4: wonder if, like the youth aspect helps a little bit.

2712
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 4: He's not that far moved from playing. I believe he's

2713
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,360
Speaker 4: only like thirty six, So would that help you connect

2714
01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 4: with again, just this new era of basketball that we're in,

2715
01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 4: And is it a selling point as far as recruitments

2716
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 4: to say, I've coached alongside some of the best players

2717
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:55,520
Speaker 4: in the world, and I think that that would be

2718
01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:57,600
Speaker 4: enticing for me if I was a young prospect.

2719
01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:00,320
Speaker 6: And also is an interesting name from DePaul. But they've

2720
01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:02,880
Speaker 6: also What's one thing that they've kind of said about

2721
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 6: Butler is they need to reinvest in the basketball program.

2722
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 6: DePaul has done that. They've got a brand new facility

2723
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:10,200
Speaker 6: opening up in a couple of years. They obviously hired

2724
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:13,080
Speaker 6: Chris Holtman to get a culture change going. So I

2725
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:15,600
Speaker 6: am curious what would be the better job in his eyes,

2726
01:57:15,760 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 6: to Paul or Butler, which.

2727
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 5: I think is a great debate to get into mark

2728
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 5: When you see programs make hires, are there any alums

2729
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:27,320
Speaker 5: out there that view it as you're not getting into

2730
01:57:27,480 --> 01:57:31,480
Speaker 5: my pocket until you make a change. I'm so fed

2731
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:37,400
Speaker 5: up with the current situation. All start contributing any money

2732
01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 5: or more money if you make a change. I think

2733
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 5: there are some coaches that say, in today's climate, and

2734
01:57:44,320 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if Butler necessarily is one of these

2735
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 5: situations where if I'm taking this job, I need to

2736
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 5: be guaranteed this much money upfront to build my roster.

2737
01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:55,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I know that sounds kind of crazy, but

2738
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 5: that's a reality. I think of college basketball or college football,

2739
01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 5: and you gotta have the discussion before you take in

2740
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 5: this day and age, So is there anything out there

2741
01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:04,240
Speaker 5: from Butler? And that's what the thad mad I think

2742
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 5: is kind of odd to me. It's like, wait a minute,

2743
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 5: you know, this time last week Grant line Decker seemed

2744
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 5: to make it pretty clear he was coming back.

2745
01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 6: Is this strictly just that thinking about it for seventy

2746
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 6: two hours and leaving.

2747
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 5: Is this a little bit of pushback from some higher

2748
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:20,680
Speaker 5: ups there of like, hey, let's read the writing on

2749
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:24,640
Speaker 5: the wall. You don't love this era of college basketball.

2750
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 5: You're probably not going to be our coach five to

2751
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:29,520
Speaker 5: seven years down the road. Do you really want to

2752
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 5: keep doing this?

2753
01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 8: You know?

2754
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 6: All of that seems to be just a little murky

2755
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:34,640
Speaker 6: with this situation.

2756
01:58:34,400 --> 01:58:36,640
Speaker 1: Especially when you read in the paper this morning that

2757
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 1: the players themselves were caught off guard. They were under

2758
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 1: the impression that Dad was coming back.

2759
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 2: So they're always the last to know, though, players always

2760
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:47,760
Speaker 2: seem to be the last to know.

2761
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 1: That's what's happening with Butler basketball. They are on the

2762
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 1: hunt for a new head coach. We'll be back to

2763
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: wrap up the show. Get you ready to go for

2764
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,560
Speaker 1: everything You'll be watching later on tonight. As we continue

2765
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:57,840
Speaker 1: ninety three five one or seven five.

2766
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 7: Think you were listening to a fan morning show on

2767
01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:15,280
Speaker 7: sports radio ninety three to five and one oh seven five.

2768
01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 7: The Fan.

2769
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:20,840
Speaker 2: Ncuba tournament starts with the first four games, two of

2770
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:23,000
Speaker 2: them tonight, two of them tomorrow night. We'll talk about

2771
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 2: those in a minute.

2772
01:59:23,640 --> 01:59:26,400
Speaker 1: But one major NCAA tournament development that we haven't really

2773
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 1: talked about that much because it doesn't really affect us

2774
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 1: at this point in time.

2775
01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 2: But your thoughts. Kevin on Alabama guard Aiden Holloway. He's

2776
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 2: been removed from the team, excused from campus, arrested Monday

2777
01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:44,440
Speaker 2: on felony drug possession charges. A pound of marijuana. That's

2778
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 2: a little more than your stash, isn't it.

2779
01:59:47,840 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, not that I am totally up to date with

2780
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:53,000
Speaker 5: proper stash numbers when it comes to the Mary Jane,

2781
01:59:53,080 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 5: but yes, from what I gather, a pound is quite

2782
01:59:56,720 --> 01:59:59,440
Speaker 5: a bit and it am I allowed to say this?

2783
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:01,840
Speaker 5: Happy to see that news because I've got Akron in

2784
02:00:01,880 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 5: the sweet sixteen.

2785
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Wow, so young man is in he's in trouble or

2786
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:08,000
Speaker 2: am I not allowed to?

2787
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 4: Is that bad karma?

2788
02:00:10,760 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 2: I said today?

2789
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:13,440
Speaker 6: I think you're fine. I mean, after what Mark said

2790
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 6: I think I'm good.

2791
02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:15,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a second lean score.

2792
02:00:16,360 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's good. They got him in a Lebrin pylon.

2793
02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 5: You know, pretty beat Alabama at Alabama earlier this year.

2794
02:00:23,080 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 5: So they are in that four or five region there

2795
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 5: bottom right of your bracket. Michigan is the one seed.

2796
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:34,840
Speaker 5: I think Michigan's got the best draw. I do think

2797
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:37,280
Speaker 5: Iowa State is a pretty good two seed, but Virginia

2798
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:39,800
Speaker 5: is a three. An Alabama dude selling a pound of

2799
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:43,680
Speaker 5: marijuana is a four. Mark's number one draft pick JT.

2800
02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 5: Topp and is the five seed. That's a pretty good

2801
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:48,760
Speaker 5: draw from Michigan playing in Chicago.

2802
02:00:49,640 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you worry about Georgia though? Potential second round

2803
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 2: matchup for Michigan.

2804
02:00:55,960 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 3: Is this basketball or football?

2805
02:00:58,600 --> 02:01:01,520
Speaker 2: It is basketball. But George's they've had a nice little run.

2806
02:01:01,560 --> 02:01:04,080
Speaker 5: The last cannon catching is that Georgia. You had a

2807
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 5: huge game a few weeks back. Yeah, that's a nice

2808
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:08,920
Speaker 5: poll there. No is Georgia beating Saint Louis.

2809
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 2: That's the eight nine.

2810
02:01:14,600 --> 02:01:17,280
Speaker 1: George has been hot. Look, I think Michigan is gonna obviously.

2811
02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:19,400
Speaker 1: You look at my pick that we had in our

2812
02:01:19,440 --> 02:01:21,720
Speaker 1: little scoring draft a little while ago. I think Michigan

2813
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:23,840
Speaker 1: is going very deep. But George is just one of

2814
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 1: those streaky teams that got guys that could score, they

2815
02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:26,680
Speaker 1: could get just red hot.

2816
02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:28,600
Speaker 2: Those those always worry me. One time.

2817
02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:35,200
Speaker 4: Watching Cannon Catchings talked to the crowd years ago at

2818
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:37,520
Speaker 4: Newcastle when his coach was telling him just shut up.

2819
02:01:39,480 --> 02:01:43,360
Speaker 4: Kid is fiery, man transferred, I believe. But he can play.

2820
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:45,480
Speaker 4: So if he gets hot, Yeah, he's certainly somebody that

2821
02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:46,680
Speaker 4: can light it up. I think he shooting like thirty

2822
02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:49,480
Speaker 4: six percent from three this year, averaged about nine points

2823
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:51,880
Speaker 4: a game. And you never know what those types of players.

2824
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 5: Someone that also left his high school early and then

2825
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:57,200
Speaker 5: went to BYU and very good point.

2826
02:01:57,040 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 4: Now, Georgia.

2827
02:01:57,960 --> 02:02:02,280
Speaker 3: Happy thirty second birthday to four Buckner James. There was

2828
02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:05,520
Speaker 3: a little bit of discussion about, hey.

2829
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:08,760
Speaker 5: What's the Forest Buckner's situation for this coming year, et cetera.

2830
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:11,680
Speaker 5: People have been curious about defensive tackle. If I'm not mistaken,

2831
02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:14,920
Speaker 5: he had quite a big roster bonus due to him

2832
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 5: over the weekend. Yeah, which he obviously got for being

2833
02:02:18,160 --> 02:02:20,720
Speaker 5: on the Colts roster, like I eight nine ten million

2834
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 5: something like that.

2835
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:23,839
Speaker 6: So that to me is a foregone conclusion.

2836
02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:25,640
Speaker 3: I didn't have any debate. I thought that fores Buckner

2837
02:02:25,680 --> 02:02:26,600
Speaker 3: would definitely be back here.

2838
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 5: But for those that were curious, age of thirty two

2839
02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 5: coming off next surgery, how much of the Colts trying

2840
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 5: to save money? You've got your answer there Toforest Buckner

2841
02:02:36,120 --> 02:02:37,560
Speaker 5: will be a Colt here this season?

2842
02:02:37,720 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 6: What did ballad a stykeing what they say at the

2843
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:42,040
Speaker 6: Combine James training camp should be good to go.

2844
02:02:42,520 --> 02:02:45,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the expectation. They expected to make a full recovery.

2845
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 4: We'll see where he's at. He's got been banged up

2846
02:02:47,600 --> 02:02:50,320
Speaker 4: the last couple of years. But to piggyback off what

2847
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 4: you talked about in the far as DeForest Buckner, he

2848
02:02:52,640 --> 02:02:55,839
Speaker 4: did earn a timillion dollar roster bonus over the weekend

2849
02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 4: and then also Shaverius Ward. If you ever needed more confirmation,

2850
02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:02,440
Speaker 4: his salary for twenty twenty six is now guaranteed at

2851
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 4: twenty of twelve point nine million dollars, So he will

2852
02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:08,040
Speaker 4: play in twenty twenty six because they would not pay

2853
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 4: him that much money if he was not. So I'm

2854
02:03:11,120 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 4: very excited to see both of those guys get back

2855
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,360
Speaker 4: out there and be healthy and hopefully stay healthy in

2856
02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:16,240
Speaker 4: the upcoming season.

2857
02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 2: That's great news for the cults. As a matter of fact.

2858
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 1: All right, so viewing tonight, assuming that we all watched

2859
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:25,120
Speaker 1: the early game of Team USA's women's basketball team with

2860
02:03:25,200 --> 02:03:28,280
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark at five, and that's over with the things

2861
02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:31,920
Speaker 1: that will be going on simultaneously tonight. Rank them one

2862
02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:35,480
Speaker 1: through three, Mark Dyke in World Baseball Classic, first for

2863
02:03:35,680 --> 02:03:37,480
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament.

2864
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:40,520
Speaker 2: And the Pacers taking on the Knicks.

2865
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:44,960
Speaker 1: To cut me of a mouthful of cluster truck, cluster

2866
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:47,120
Speaker 1: truck or alcohol one of the two out of rough days.

2867
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 4: You're now holding your tongue and saying ship.

2868
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Easy.

2869
02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 3: Now, Mark, you'll meet a kind of.

2870
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:57,160
Speaker 6: World Baseball Classic, then the final first four and then

2871
02:03:57,640 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 6: Pacers next. The Pacers are going to tonight.

2872
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:02,240
Speaker 3: Actually I get that feeling.

2873
02:04:02,240 --> 02:04:04,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if I believe that, but I wanted

2874
02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:09,040
Speaker 5: Pacers fans should openly cheer for their basketball team to

2875
02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:12,400
Speaker 5: win tonight. It's the Knicks. They've lost thirteen in a

2876
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:15,680
Speaker 5: row and they can afford to win some games. This

2877
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:20,000
Speaker 5: is true, Pascal Siak, I'm doubtful for tonight. Yeah, I'll

2878
02:04:20,040 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 5: flip over late in the first playing game. You hopefully

2879
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:25,240
Speaker 5: that game is close, but I'll probably be a pretty

2880
02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:28,520
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic centric I am. I. If Zubots plays,

2881
02:04:28,560 --> 02:04:30,320
Speaker 5: I do want to watch more of him. Is Mitchell

2882
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 5: Robinson good to go for the Knicks?

2883
02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:33,800
Speaker 2: I've not seen, because let's.

2884
02:04:33,640 --> 02:04:35,960
Speaker 5: Be honest, if that was Myles Turner Friday night, giving

2885
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 5: up how many rebounds to Mitchell Robinson, you'd have Greg

2886
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:43,200
Speaker 5: Doyle put him in a uber to the airport like

2887
02:04:43,240 --> 02:04:49,839
Speaker 5: you did Carson Wentz. Zubots can be letting. Mitchell Robinson

2888
02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:52,879
Speaker 5: have twenty one rebound games and what you have nine offensive.

2889
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't see a ton of twenty one rebound games

2890
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:58,200
Speaker 1: by an individual against Zubots coming any time soon.

2891
02:04:58,520 --> 02:04:59,360
Speaker 3: It's all on Friday.

2892
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:02,280
Speaker 2: How much did he play though?

2893
02:05:04,160 --> 02:05:04,200
Speaker 8: Not?

2894
02:05:04,240 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 3: Only he was one and done?

2895
02:05:07,520 --> 02:05:09,760
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, what's the lineup gonna look like in

2896
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:10,160
Speaker 2: your house?

2897
02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:13,520
Speaker 6: Well, the only games that are on for a championship

2898
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:15,800
Speaker 6: tonight are the WBC, so that has to be first

2899
02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:19,320
Speaker 6: and foremost. Nothing else screen right, that's probably big stream.

2900
02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 3: He cares about the World Baseball Classic. Funny how that's

2901
02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 3: turned around now.

2902
02:05:22,600 --> 02:05:23,480
Speaker 4: I always cared.

2903
02:05:23,560 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 6: I just hadn't watched any spring training was all JT

2904
02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:30,360
Speaker 6: topping highlights. Boy oh boy, it feels like is Easter

2905
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:31,920
Speaker 6: right around the corner because I feel like I'm getting

2906
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:32,760
Speaker 6: crucified today.

2907
02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Well that's kind of self inflicted a lot of it though, wouldn't.

2908
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:36,440
Speaker 4: You agree that's true?

2909
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Uh?

2910
02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, World Baseball Classic and then yeah, Nicks Pacers is

2911
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:42,680
Speaker 6: third for me, and then I'll watch see who gets

2912
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 6: in the tournament.

2913
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna be watching the Pacers tonight. That's haven't

2914
02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:48,360
Speaker 1: really paid close attention to.

2915
02:05:48,360 --> 02:05:51,760
Speaker 6: THEO I know, but I again, you know your order

2916
02:05:51,960 --> 02:05:52,680
Speaker 6: Pacers first.

2917
02:05:52,840 --> 02:05:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm like Mark change our trees and his

2918
02:05:58,840 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 4: allegations from Mark to Jeff here.

2919
02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:03,000
Speaker 6: Rooting for Canada the Olympics. Now he's not even gonna

2920
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:04,200
Speaker 6: watch the World Baseball Class.

2921
02:06:04,240 --> 02:06:05,160
Speaker 2: So that's not what I said.

Speaker 1: I've got the Pacers one. I've got like you, I've

2923

02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:12,839
Speaker 6: It's true lives in a Carmel mansion.

2925
02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:14,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's what it is.

02:06:15,320 --> 02:06:18,640
Speaker 6: What is the projection string spring to playing today? The

2927
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:20,240
Speaker 6: eighty foot projection screen?

2928
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 2: Uh wish I had an eighty foot projection screen. But

2929
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:25,840
Speaker 2: I will put the Pacers on the big screen and

2930
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 2: I'll have WBC on the smaller screen.

2931
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:30,760
