1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: It does admittedly feel a little bit weird. Maybe it's 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: just the old school in me. Maybe it's just a 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: fact that sometimes you get accustomed to something and then 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: when there's a change to it, it feels odd. But 5 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: Indiana Purdue and I love everything about it. I love 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: the I You Purdue rivalry. I love the history of it. 7 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we literally it the question and the conversation 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: that and I'm not going to do it today because 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: we've done it one hundred times. But you know, the 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: most hated player from the other team historically, or the 11 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: one that you couldn't help but admit that you kind 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: of liked the moments in the history of the rivalry 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: that jump out at you as those that were the 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: most blood boiling or the most intense. There have been 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: a number of fabulous games between Indiana and Purdue over 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: the years. There have been some that have been more 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: important than others. There have been times where both programs 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: are at their peak. There have been times where both 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: programs were in dark days. There have been times where, 20 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: and more often than not, one is way up the 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: other is way down. You feel like one of them 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: It's like, man, is this ever going to get back 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: to normal because there's a fifty point differential between the two. 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: We've seen both sides of that in the last you know, 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: twenty years, but here it is tonight, and again that Purdue. 26 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: I think if you were to look at this, you 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: would say, of the two teams, it almost feels like 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: Purdue is more in need of just a resounding, clicking 29 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: on all cylinders, blow it out type win. It feels 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: like Purdue is kind of more in need of that, 31 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: not just because of the way they lost to Michigan, 32 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: but just because something does feel a little bit off Indie. 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: Purdue is the better team than Indiana this year, don't 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: get me wrong, and they've had the better season than 35 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Indiana obviously, but the expectation was different, and so it 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: feels like Purdue is clinging onto dear life to make 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: sure this isn't a season that becomes like lost in disappointment, 38 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: whereas Indiana, because of where they started, is a little 39 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: bit more of Yeah, their years kind of gravy anything 40 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: they get at this point. I mean, making the tournament 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: for Indiana would be you know, an accomplishment, right, But 42 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot to unpack, but it feels weird for 43 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: it being on a Friday. I just typically, I guess 44 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm old school. I think of Indiana Purdue is either 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: being a weekend game or like a Tuesday night game. 46 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, here it is, and we will talk plenty 47 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: about it. There is a ton to get to today, 48 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: a ton to get to the NBA and tanking the Pacers, 49 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: and boy, they almost blew it last night, Eddie, they 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: almost blew it. 51 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: It was close. 52 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: It was I was worried about it. I'd like, they're 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: going to blow this. 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: I felt like I was watching the Brooklyn Nets game 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: all over again. 56 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: It is a strange phenomenon. It is a weird thing 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: to watch the opposition fire a three and a tie 58 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: ball game with three minutes to go, and you're thinking 59 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: to yourself, hit that, hit that, because listen open disclaimer. 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: I've said all along, I have tried to show my 61 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: objectivity and my professionalism over the course of the last 62 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: two decades in doing what I do for a living. 63 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: And finally, what is it that you do for a 64 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: living outside well, still trying to figure. 65 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: That out, Okay, I was about to say, outside of 66 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: visiting graveyards and. 67 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: The words of Edzrenson, I discussed ball scores. But I 68 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: always felt like I'm from the era when in order 69 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: to be able to speak about sports and be taken 70 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: seriously you had to show like an objectivity and not 71 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: a favoritism. And after two and a half decades of 72 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: adhering to that, I essentially asked for the forgiveness from 73 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: people of you know what, I will admit it. I'm 74 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: going to let my Pacer fandom show. And it is 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: the one team that I still get that locally speaking, 76 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: that I still get that holy col excitement about I do. 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: And so it is my belief that this season, the 78 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: best thing that can come of it for the Pacers 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: would be for them to end up with a top 80 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: four pick and get one of the guys that is, 81 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, one of the whether it be Boozer or 82 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: and I realized, you know, half of them are kind 83 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: of more lower block players. But therefore, program franchise trajectory 84 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: changing players in this draft, and if you can add 85 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: them to what Indiana already has look out and that 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: thought and that intrigue is really hard to overlook. And 87 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: so that that's where we stand right So last night 88 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: against Washington, and I also came to another conclusion Eddie Garrison, 89 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: and you can feel free to disagree with me on this, Okay. 90 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: It is my belief that the Wash and I go 91 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: back and forth on this a lot, but in the 92 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: installment as they stand right now, it is my belief 93 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: that the Washington Wizards are the most obscure franchise in 94 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: the NBA. I think if you were to ask, if 95 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: you were to walk through give me Las Vegas, if 96 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: you were to walk into a Las Vegas sports book 97 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: on a Saturday night and there are fifteen hundred guys 98 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: in there and in gals to you know, drinking beer 99 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: and watching sports and whatever else. And if you were 100 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: to hand them all a sheet of paper and say, 101 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: we're going to write at the top of the paper 102 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: the name of an NBA franchise, and you have to 103 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: list ten players that are still actively involved on their 104 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: roster for the rest of the year. The Washington Wizards 105 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: would get the fewest votes, would they not, the fewest 106 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: names mentioned, would they not? 107 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably them were the Sacramento Kings. 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Most people would probably know Sibonas right, Yeah, would they 109 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: know Malik Monk. 110 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean he was a former six 111 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: Man of the Year. 112 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: How many Wizards can you name? You did the game 113 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: last night? How many Wizards can you name? 114 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: I can name most of them because I followed the league, 115 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: So we'll go ahead. 116 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: Smarty pants. 117 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: You got Trey Johnson, You got Alex r Anthony Davis, 118 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: Trey Young. No, no, no, no, no no no no, no, no, no, no. 119 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: Pay attention to pay attention, pay attention. The players that 120 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: are on the active roster now for the rest of 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: the year. No Anthony Davis, no Trey Young. They're on 122 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: the roster, but on the y anyway, Well, okay, thanks 123 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: for participating. 124 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: You're welcome. 125 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying? Players that are actively 126 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: of who's playing right now for the team? Yeah, the 127 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: few The Washington Wizards would get the fewest votes of 128 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: any team in the NBA. 129 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: I would also say the Brooklyn Nets. Yes, that's right 130 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: side of Michael Porter Junior and Nick Claxton. 131 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: I think the difference being this, even the Kings and 132 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: the Nets. Both the Kings have of late had like 133 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: a little flash in the pan where they were somewhat 134 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: competitive or kind of sexy, and they had some fun 135 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: players there for a while. The Nets just came off 136 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: of the era. I know it's been a few years, 137 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: but the era where they had you know, obviously Durant 138 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: and Harden and they were making waves and you know, 139 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: they got deep into the playoffs. The Wizards are like, yeah, okay, 140 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: they had a fun run with John Wall and Gore 141 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: to hot like ten years ago for like two years. 142 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: And outside of that it is like holy cow man. 143 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: But last night the Pacers and again tonight. Now the 144 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: question becomes Eddie who plays tonight because of the fact 145 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: that they played last night, they could turn right back 146 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: around tonight and Indiana rested a lot of people. Now 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: do they do the same again tonight? 148 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: We do know that Pascal Siakam has already been ruled 149 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: out for tonight's game or no, because he's not even 150 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: there in Washington, d C. Aaron Nesmith is also out 151 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: tonight dealing with an ankle injury. Cam Jones left the 152 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: game early yesterday with a back ailment, Worth noting that 153 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: that's what sidelights him during training camp and delayed his 154 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: start to the season. As it pertains to some of 155 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: the other players, I'm not I'm Tyler sure. Do we 156 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: get TJ McConnell back tonight, Like do we watch TJ 157 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,239 Speaker 2: McConnell's tonight. Does Quintin Jackson suit up after being designated 158 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: US out last night because of a G League assignment 159 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: Andrew Nimar very limited minutes last night. You have to 160 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: assume that's gonna be the the you know, status quo 161 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: going forward against you like Washington Sacramento. 162 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: Eddie, you noticed last night what I found of note 163 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: that game came down to, you know, the last four 164 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: or five minutes of that game. Jarris Walker played well 165 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: for Indiana. Nim hard a minute restriction, I understand. And 166 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: again I go back to are the Pacers tanking? Well, 167 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: they're not going to say that, but that was a 168 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: game where victory was there to be had. But I 169 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: don't think that they necessarily had on their floor the 170 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: roster that would most secure for them victory versus other rotations. 171 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? 172 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 3: Yes? 173 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Now, the NBA yesterday let it be known that they 174 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: are exploring the following options when it comes to stopping tanking. 175 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: And I'm going to go back to what I've said 176 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: from day one, and I'm going to die on this hill. 177 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate the NBA suddenly having their morals about them. 178 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate the NBA suddenly being the scrupulous league of 179 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: we want to make sure that every game is the 180 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: best competition that it can be. I appreciate that the 181 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: NBA was we love this game too. We love the 182 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: way this game is being played. In every chance that 183 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: you get, you're seeing the best stars and the best basketball, 184 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: and we're going to ensure that that's exactly how it's 185 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: going to be. The NBA has suddenly, all of a sudden, 186 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: now they are I'm telling you right now, this is 187 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: the game where we guarantee that every contest you're getting 188 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: the best product that is available. I can appreciate the 189 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: NBA saying all of that. What the NBA and what 190 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: we see in the NBA happening is no different. I remember, vividly, vividly, 191 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: I J. Querry, a freshman in high school. 192 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: Hij query hello. 193 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: I was a freshman in high school, and I went 194 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: down to go see the Indiana Pacers played their final 195 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: game of the nineteen eighty seven eighty eight season, and 196 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: they were playing I want to say they were playing 197 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: New York. I could be wrong in that, but I 198 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: believe they were playing New York. But it was the 199 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: last game of the year at least a last home game, 200 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: and Channel thirteen was interviewing fans about what they thought. 201 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: Did they want the Pacers to win the game or 202 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: stay in the running for the number one overall pick 203 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: in the draft, and ij Querry was interviewed and said, 204 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I'm a big Pacer fan, but I 205 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: really want Danny Manning. I love Danny Manning. I saw 206 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: what Danny Manning did against Oklahoma in the National Championship 207 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight in Kemper Arena. It was fifty 208 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: to fifty at the half. Danny Manning took over in 209 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: the second half. Danny Manning, by the way on that 210 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: team Kevin Pritchard. But I'm like, look, I'm telling you, 211 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: I want Danny Manning. So I want the Pacers to 212 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: win kind of but I kind of hope they lose 213 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: because I want the number one pick. And instead they 214 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: ended up with the number two pick, and they drafted 215 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: Rick Smith's and Dave Steinberg and I were at the 216 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: draft party and stood up and began the chant of 217 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: Walsh must go. That's how diehard I was as a 218 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: Pacer fan. But my point being in my long winded story. 219 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: Simply this boy, how about that full circle moment? Things 220 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: might have turned out a little different thirty eight years ago. 221 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: Thirty eight years ago. 222 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 2: Have you ever told him that story? Yes, what do 223 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: you say to you? I'm curious they probably weren't alone. 224 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: Thirty eight years ago, I was part of a discussion 225 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: on a news story that was being done about whether 226 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: or not the Pacers should lose a game to improve 227 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: their draft position. None of this is new, none of it. 228 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: And the NBA can tell us it's new. The NBA 229 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: can tell us that there's a new sheriff in town. 230 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: The NBA can tell us that finally we're putting our 231 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: foot down and this stuff ends now. And all of 232 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: it comes on the heels of when the NBA during 233 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: All Star Weekend sat down with a group of partners, advisors, 234 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, with a committee and it was 235 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: the CEOs of all the different gambling apps. And that's 236 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: what this comes down to. And I respect it, I 237 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: get it, I can appreciate it. But the fact the 238 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: new factor tanking is not new. Trying to improve draft 239 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: position is not new. Players being seen as the change 240 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: and the trajectory for a franchise based on the draft 241 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: is not new. Every player when they go out on 242 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: that stage and put on that hat and shake the 243 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: hands before they go over on T and T or 244 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: whatever whoever it may be ESPN and do the interview, 245 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: every single player that is selected in that moment is 246 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: enjoying the one hour period of time where they are 247 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: seen as the next great hope for their franchise. Every year. 248 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: None of that is new. What's new of late is 249 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: the business partnership between the NBA and the number of 250 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: different corporations that they are utilizing to try to get 251 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: you the fan to watch and pay attention to games. 252 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: And they realize that the number one way to get 253 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: people to watch and pay attention to games is to 254 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: get them to have financial stake in it themselves. And 255 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: so if you are putting a wager five dollars, ten bucks, 256 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: one thousand bucks, two thousand bucks, most rebounds, number of 257 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: minutes played, turnovers versus assists, field goals attempted, field goals attempted, 258 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: any of it. The NBA is desperately clinging to the 259 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: principle that you can be assured that whatever you're wagering on, 260 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: there is a completely fair and impartial element of making 261 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: sure that that wager is clean, because the second they 262 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: lose the passer by gambler, they lose that percentage of 263 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: people that are paying attention to their games. And that's 264 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: what this is. Now they can say as they have. 265 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: The Board of Governor's Competition Committee and General Manager of 266 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: the League Office have said the following are being explored. 267 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: First round draft picks can be protected only in the 268 00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: top four or than fifteen and beyond outside of the lottery. 269 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: Those are the only ones you can pick. Another one 270 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or at a 271 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: later date that one. I could see you go to 272 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: the trade deadline and you're like, okay, boom, you were 273 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: the second worst record at the trade deadline. Then there 274 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: you go. You are amongst those four teams with the 275 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: chances at the number one pick. And so the games 276 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: that are being played in late February March April, they 277 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: are no longer meaningless or meaning full to you, if 278 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: you will, because you need to get losses to stay 279 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: in that because that's already been determined. Another these are all, 280 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: by the way, these are all potential solutions. None of 281 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: this is written in stone. Yet no longer allowing a 282 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: team to pick in the top four in consecutive years 283 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: and or after consecutive bottom three finishes. That one's kind 284 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: of tough because one player doesn't necessarily ever turn it 285 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: around for you. Sometimes you do need a couple of 286 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: years of getting good players, and it takes a while 287 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: for those players to develop. So even if you were 288 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: to get look at Wimby Yama, women Yama is a 289 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: generational player, but in his rookie season, it wasn't like 290 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, san Antonio won sixty games. Cooper 291 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: flag is unbelievable. Unbelievable, and yet Dallas is still right there. 292 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: He's a rookie, right, It takes a while for guys 293 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: for the impact and to build around him and to 294 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: get the pieces around them. Teams can't pick in the 295 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: top four of the year after making the conference finals. 296 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: This one I have the most bunk with, right, I 297 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: get it. But if you make the conference finals and 298 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: then you all of a sudden are in position for 299 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: a top four pick the next year, it's because you 300 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: either had mass departure or mass injury. And I get 301 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: the fact that look at san Antonio, san Antonio built 302 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: a dynasty based on the fact that David Robinson got hurt, 303 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: they ended up backing the lottery and boom, they end 304 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: up with Tim Duncan. So you're trying to pro but 305 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: that from happening, Okay, but the odds of that happening 306 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: of you going through that, it's basically happened twice, right. 307 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 2: Told, when Lebron left and right now. 308 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: And the Spurs right yeah, I forgot about the Cleveland one. 309 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: I mean, Lebron left and they went from sixty two 310 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: wins to nineteen or something, right yeah, but again right there, 311 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: you lose a player. They lost a player left. I mean, 312 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: why should they be penalized for the fact that a 313 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: player through free agency? What elsewhere? Why should Cleveland pay 314 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: the penalty for that. 315 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: The other aspect too, is like, I know Oklahoma City 316 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: can't this year because it's protected. But if a team 317 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: like Oklahoma City had Utah's pick and Utah gets a 318 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 2: top four pick, like, that's another aspect of it, I 319 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 2: think too, because even though it would be it's supposed 320 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 2: to go to Oklama City, if that rules in place, 321 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City can't have that pick. 322 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: It would just go back to Utah, right right, I 323 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: see what you're saying, you know, the that's a good 324 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: one of well, I mean, if that matter the pacer 325 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: in this case, obviously the Pacers would be ineligible. So yeah, 326 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: and then Oklahoma City, right, Okay, the lottery extended to 327 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: include all playing teams. Fine flatten odds for lottery teams. 328 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Can you imagine though, if whether 329 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: you had nineteen wins or thirty nine wins, everybody's got 330 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: the same shot and the the ping pong balls bounce 331 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: where the picks ten through thirteen are Washington, Sacramento, New Orleans, 332 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. You know. But again, I'm going to go 333 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: back to this all stems from the fact that the NBA, 334 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: and they can tell me I'm wrong, fine, but I 335 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: will die on this hill. The NBA is wanting they 336 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: are suddenly this suddenly now is of conc to them, 337 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: This forty year thing is suddenly now of concern to them, 338 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: because they want to make sure. Because I'm assuming that 339 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: the different apps went to the NBA and said, you 340 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: know what, and I don't know hypothetically, so what if 341 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: I said to you that the apps, I don't know 342 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: this this is mere conjecture. They went to the NBA 343 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: and said, guys, we need to have a discussion here. 344 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's going on. 345 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: Last year we were averaging, we were looking at we're 346 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: moving twelve and a half million that was looked at 347 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: on the Washington Wizards in the last two months of 348 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: the season. And right now we're trending towards eight. So 349 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: we're losing a third of the Washington audience. Oh gosh, 350 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: what do you think that's about. I know exactly what 351 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: it's about. People are refusing to get involved and place 352 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: their money on these teams because they don't know who's 353 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: going to play and when they're going to play, because 354 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: teams are taking we need to have a discussion about this. 355 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, the NBA is going 356 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 1: uh oh, half of our teams are playing on the 357 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: Fan Dual television network, or on the Ballet Sports Television network, 358 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: or on the MGM Grand Halftime Show, or on the 359 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: DraftKings app, you know, whatever it may be. And that's cool. 360 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, we live in a world and a society, 361 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: a free market society. People that want to do these things. 362 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: Are there people that unfortunately have had challenge an addiction 363 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: with gambling. Of course, same too with alcohols, but you 364 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: know you see beer ads everywhere during games. I mean 365 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: it is about having the personal responsibility of managing and 366 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: navigating those things. So I don't have a problem fundamentally 367 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: with those apps. I want to be very clear on that, 368 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: but I do believe that that is what is motivating 369 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: this aspect of it. I also big news in high 370 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: school basketball. We're getting set for the tournament, are we not, Eddie? 371 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: When do we get sectionals underway? Is that next week? 372 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: Two weeks? 373 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: It's getting close, because do you have the breaking news 374 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: sounder by chance? I believe that in fact, today, officially 375 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: it is the first day we're all remnant. Every remnant 376 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: of it is gone from the snow. Correct, It's been 377 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 1: like two or three days. No, there was yesterday a 378 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: small sliver, as we talked about in the alley just 379 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: below you. There was a small sliver yesterday, but we 380 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: had a flood last night. 381 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 2: If it was it was in the alley, that's. 382 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: Not the parking lot. Well, but it went over up 383 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: into the parking lot. My point being, there were still 384 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: you could see to the eye when you looked out, 385 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: there were small remnants there are now yesterday. 386 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: What's that I missed it thing yesterday. 387 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: Well, I'm here to tell you that myself as the 388 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: person who is on the microphone. Yesterday, there were times 389 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: where I looked at out and saw the remnant of snow, 390 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: just a small sliver of it that went as we 391 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, that went up towards the barking lot. 392 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: But today that now is officially gone. 393 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 2: I went from Monday or Tuesday by the way, boys, okay, basketball. 394 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: So you're going to have the opportunity I can promise 395 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 1: you for a little bit more snow to be in 396 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: the lot because Eddie, I don't know if you know 397 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: this or not, there are always snow flurries at the 398 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: time of sectionals. I don't know that it will accumulate. 399 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that it will accumulate. But last night 400 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: you said we had a flood, right, Oh. 401 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: It was rain and so bad. There was like there 402 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: was a flood in the parking lot. Yeah, for a 403 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 2: little bit. 404 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: Whether it was there actual running water, yeah, that's awesome. 405 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that's because you had You know, the 406 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: ground is saturated. There are million different things are going 407 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: to play there, and those small slivers were gone, they're 408 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: now gone. But there is a chance they will return 409 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: because sectionals are upcoming and one of the key names 410 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: and a legacy name changing schools right as we go 411 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: into all of that, So our buddy Kyle Nedriip is 412 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: going to join us to help go over all of that. 413 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, Zach Osterman.

What's that that's some of that. 429 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: Yesterday I watched yesterday, I happen to be watching our 430 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: buddy Brian Wilkes at one point I was flipping around 431 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: thirteen always does a great job. There's a I want 432 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: to say, a newer fella on Channel eight that does 433 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: weather that has great glasses. He was very stylish glasses. 434 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: But I happened to be watching Brian Wilks for a 435 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: little bit. And you know it's serious when in the 436 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: middle of it he says to the other fella, can 437 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: you handle it for a second, I've got to change 438 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: batteries on my microphone. He also, by the way, Brian Wilkes, 439 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: Brian Wilkes gets huge credit for this. If you're friends 440 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: with Brian Wilks sent him a message. He gets huge 441 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: credit for the fact that yesterday Brian Wilkes was explaining 442 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: the confluence of weather fronts by using the analogy of 443 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: Indy five hundred dirty air and being the lead car 444 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: versus a car in traffic, and I thought only in Indianapolis, 445 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: Brian Wilkes, Chicago went through and through Cubs, Guy, Bears Guy, 446 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: all of it, and he's on the air. You want 447 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: to talk about a fella that knows his audience. That's 448 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: why he's one of the best. I love, you know, 449 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: obviously Angela and Sean Ash we've had on. All of 450 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: them do a great job, Lindsay. They all do a 451 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: great job. But Chris Wright, but that was big time 452 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: for him to mention clean and dirty air. All right. 453 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: Kyle Nenripp joins us now on the Java House Colbrew 454 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Coffee guest line. Sectionals upcoming. But Kyle, I'll begin with this. 455 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: I found this peculiar and open disclaimer. I don't know 456 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: that I need to give the open disclaimer, but I will. 457 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: You know, I grew up with Alan Henderson. I went 458 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: to elementary school with Alan Henderson. I knew him, I 459 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: played youth sports with them, and knew him all the 460 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 1: way through high school. We are the same class. And 461 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: I just talked to Alan probably three weeks ago, and 462 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: we talked about both of his sons, the younger of 463 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: which is playing right now, and he was at University 464 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: High and now just before sectional has decided to change schools. 465 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: I did not talk to Alan about this, so I 466 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: will refer to you. Do you know the reasoning that 467 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: Joshua Henderson now is changing high schools? Right? On the 468 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: cusp of sectionals. 469 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 4: Not any more than you know, I quoted him in 470 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 4: the story and uh, you know, talked to Alan. He 471 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 4: was he was a cough wind of it the day 472 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 4: that he he withdrew from university and talked to Alan 473 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 4: that night and then the following morning and uh, you know, 474 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: and yeah, I mean we we talked a little bit 475 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 4: on the phone. But you know, there wasn't any There 476 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 4: isn't any Uh I would say single incident or anything 477 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 4: like that, at least that I'm publicly you know that 478 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 4: he told me on the phone publicly or you know anything, 479 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 4: you know, to be honest with you. So I think 480 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 4: it's just more of a you know, it's more of 481 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 4: a situation where you know, they just felt like this 482 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: was gonna and I know it's a generic thing. And 483 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 4: he he did say, just to quote him, he said, 484 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 4: Josh met some good people and had some good experiences 485 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 4: at university. Uh, he got a chance to develop and 486 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 4: get on the court, continue to work on his game. Academically. 487 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 4: He enjoyed his teachers and classes. There was a lot 488 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: of good but there is something where he wants to 489 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 4: try to continue his development. But this is something where 490 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 4: he wants to try to continue his development. And he 491 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 4: also said his daughter is transferring from university to Carmel 492 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 4: as well. She's a freshman and a really good volleyball 493 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 4: player as well. So it's kind of a family decision. 494 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, obviously the timing of it drew a lot 495 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 4: of race and eyebrows. I don't think the fact that 496 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 4: he transferred is you know, there's a lot of transfers 497 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 4: that happened, you know, that happened after the season or 498 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 4: after a school year. Definitely, the timing of it race 499 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 4: and eyebrows, and was kind of shocking for me to 500 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 4: hear about it when I did hear about it on Wednesday, 501 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 4: because I just covered their game on Friday. I talked 502 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 4: to Alan before the game. I watched Josh play. He 503 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 4: had like, you know, nineteen twenty one points something like that, 504 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 4: and they won the game and he played really well, 505 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 4: and you know he I talked him after the game, 506 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 4: and you know, so I just, yeah, so the timing 507 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 4: of it not ideal. 508 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 2: You know. 509 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 4: I did talk to Justin Blaining or texted with him 510 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 4: and he said, you know, hey, you know we're you know, 511 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 4: the kids are are moving forward and that's good. Kind 512 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 4: of something you think about, too, is what the position 513 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 4: they're put in by this, and you know, he said 514 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 4: they're positive and moving forward. They do have a really 515 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: good senior class and Josh is a junior, but they 516 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 4: do have a really good senior class that played in 517 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 4: the state finals last year. So they have a lot 518 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 4: of guys with a lot of pride that I'm sure 519 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 4: will be, uh, you know, ready for the sectional and 520 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 4: you know that that will still be a tough team 521 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 4: to beat. I think now you take you know, nineteen 522 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 4: points out of the lineup, and that's a pretty big 523 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 4: deal and your leading rebounder. But uh but you know, 524 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 4: I feel like they're you know, they're they're moving forward 525 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 4: and uh you know, but yeah, I mean I think 526 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 4: one of the things to here too, you know, and 527 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 4: maybe I'm ramblings will cut me off, you need to, 528 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 4: but I think part of the thing too is here 529 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 4: the you know, the thirty day transfer rule. You know 530 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 4: that comes into effect. You know, once he starts at 531 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 4: Carmel in Roles there. You know, the clock starts on that, 532 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 4: so you know, and I think that's something is maybe 533 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 4: an unintended consequence of the transfer rule is you know 534 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: that you can, you can transfer in season and you know, 535 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 4: only sit out thirty days and then be able to play. Now, 536 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 4: he wouldn't be able to play for Carmel anyway this 537 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 4: year unless they make it to the semi State, which 538 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 4: is going to be hard to do, you know, even 539 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 4: if he you know, even if he was allowed to 540 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 4: get out there and play, you know, they have to 541 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 4: go pretty far in the tournament. So but at any rate, Yeah, 542 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 4: that's that's uh, you know, that's pretty much the extent 543 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 4: of it. I don't I don't feel like there's a 544 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: you know, maybe a story that's been untold really or 545 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 4: you know, any any singular incident that happened or anything 546 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 4: that that led to this. But you know, obviously the 547 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 4: timing of it did did certainly you know, get people's 548 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 4: attention well. 549 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: And I can understand, you know. And also again, I 550 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: mean I grew up with Allen, right, I mean, I 551 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: know the the competitive nature of it all, and I 552 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: can I can appreciate and listen, I know, you know, 553 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: Alan Henderson comes from an academically based family, you know, 554 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean his I know both his parents, you know, again, 555 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: and Alan is as smart as any kid. I grew 556 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: up with hell, he skipped a grade when we were 557 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: in elementary school, and then he and then you know, 558 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: at Orchard, I mean he was He's a very smart dude. 559 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: And so I understand the reality or the likelihood that 560 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: this was a situation from the competitive standpoint of you 561 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: know what, this is a great school and a great opportunity, 562 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: But you know, Carmel is also a fantastic school that 563 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: offers both academically, socially and athletically, probably bigger challenges than 564 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: a smaller school. And I can certainly understand that Alan 565 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: and his wife may simply have said, that's what we 566 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: want to have provided for our son. He's gotten to 567 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: the point now where he's been introduced to the game 568 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: and developed his game. Now, how maybe he's hit the 569 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: ceiling of the level of development that can be seen 570 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: at that level, and so let's push it further. I 571 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: just thought, because it is not a semester break, and 572 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: it's not an end of season, the timing was simply 573 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: what was peculiar about it? For certain, But was there 574 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: anything nefarious? It would be unwise and irresponsible to me 575 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: to say that. But let's get into just itself teams 576 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: right now. Kyle as we get ready for the postseason. 577 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: Aside from that story, give me the team as opposed 578 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: to talking about who the favorites may be here in sectional, 579 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: Let's talk about a team that perhaps was clicking along 580 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: and at some point this year looked really really good 581 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: but might have peaked a little bit too early and 582 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: now you have a little bit of pause or concern 583 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,239 Speaker 1: for the way that they're playing now versus say two 584 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: or three months ago. 585 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. 586 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 4: That's and one thing I will add to that too 587 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 4: is as Josh did you at a Creek Side element, 588 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 4: he is a Carmel Uh, you know, he's Carmel District 589 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 4: and everything. So you know that's uh. I just wanted 590 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 4: to add that to just in case, you know, people 591 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 4: were wondering about it's in the you know, in the story, 592 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 4: but just to add to that. But but yeah, I 593 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 4: mean that's a good that's a good question. 594 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 5: I think. 595 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 4: Uh, you know one team that I've I've covered a 596 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 4: few times and I'm kind of wondering if if I 597 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,719 Speaker 4: don't wonder how good they are, what they can potentially 598 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 4: do in the in the tournament is Ben Davis and 599 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 4: they just kind of and I talked to Don Carlyle 600 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 4: about this after the the Pike game and they lost 601 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 4: by three points, and they're right in the game and 602 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 4: it went down to the wire, and Pike's as good 603 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 4: as anybody, but they just kind of haven't got over 604 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 4: the hump against some of these better teams. 605 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 5: Now. 606 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 4: They came out and beat Lawrence Central pretty handily their 607 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 4: next game after they after they actually they lost to 608 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 4: Lawrence North and then beat else Uh, But they've kind 609 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 4: of been that team that, you know, I wonder if 610 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 4: they're going to break through, and then maybe it'll happen 611 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 4: in the sectional. They'll they'll play in the sectional at Plainfield, 612 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 4: which is loaded with Plainfield and Pike in that bracket 613 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 4: as well with Brownsburg and Avon. But but they're kind 614 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 4: of that sleeper team to me. They started ten and 615 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 4: they lost it actually their first two, and then won 616 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 4: ten in a row, and then they've kind of hit 617 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 4: a little bit of a rougher patch here with with 618 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 4: four losses I think in their last six games. But 619 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 4: but I still think they're they're good enough with Jayshaun 620 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 4: Ladd and and and Sherman Moss that they can get 621 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 4: through and and and really create some havoc in that sectional, 622 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 4: but they haven't. You know, again, they just haven't quite 623 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 4: got over the hump against these better teams. So I 624 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 4: think that they kind of fit your category. But they 625 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 4: you know, they played really close against Carmel. You know, 626 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 4: they played close against Pike. You know that Lawrence North 627 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 4: game kind of got away a little bit from them. 628 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 4: But l En is very good as well this year. 629 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 4: So you know, these teams have lost. You are all 630 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 4: really good. But I think I think they can be 631 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 4: on par with those teams too. They just they haven't 632 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 4: quite done it here recently, but I think they're capable. 633 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 4: So I think that's one team that probably fits that bill. 634 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, end with this, Kyle, I want you to 635 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: tell me. Kyle ned Rep is my guest. He's on 636 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: the Java House Colbrew Coffee guest line. I want you 637 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: to tell me, Kyle, of something you witnessed, something you 638 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: observed might not have even been in a game. Maybe 639 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: it was a practice, Maybe it was a kid you interviewed, 640 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a coach you talked to. Maybe it 641 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: was a backstory. Maybe it was a story you told 642 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: about Ron Colly. Whatever it might be. But give me 643 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: the last thing that you witnessed that led you that 644 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: night when you went to bed to say to yourself, 645 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty cool what I get to do 646 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 1: for a living. These are the kinds of stories that, yeah, 647 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,959 Speaker 1: sure anybody can go out and cover the state title game. 648 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: But to be able to witness or first hand, see 649 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: up close, or be privy to the kind of connection 650 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: that I saw, or story that I saw, or passion 651 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: that I saw, That's why I do what I do. 652 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 1: Tell me the last thing that invoked in you that emotion. 653 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I've got a good one for you. 654 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 4: I was at the girls sectional at Plainfield and they 655 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 4: had lost to Pike in the Sexual championship game. So 656 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 4: I'm in the hallway talking to Kurt Bench, the Plainfield 657 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 4: girls coach, and I had walked through the you know, 658 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 4: there's kind of that sort of a corridor that leads 659 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 4: back to the locker room that goes kind of underneath 660 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 4: the bleachers and all that, and you know, Kurt has 661 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 4: taking time to you know, hug the girls as they 662 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 4: came out of the locker room. He's like, I'm sorry, 663 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 4: I gotta, you know, do that. I'm like, not, you 664 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 4: gotta do what you gotta do. And then we would 665 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 4: continue our interview. And that kind of went on for 666 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 4: a few minutes. And then as I was leaving to 667 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 4: go back through the doors, Hannah Menzer, the star player 668 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 4: for Plainfield, she's a junior. She was walking out about 669 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 4: the same time I was. And I knew all these girls, 670 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 4: these little girls probably ages, you know, maybe eight to ten, 671 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 4: not eleven, you know, somewhere in there. Maybe a little 672 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 4: bit younger even than that for some of them. But 673 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 4: there's probably about twelve or fourteen of them waiting outside 674 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 4: the locker room there down the corridor. And I said, 675 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 4: you know, you've been go out first, or they're going 676 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 4: to be sorely disappointed if I walk out and they're 677 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 4: and they're waiting and they're waiting for you, and it's 678 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 4: me that comes out. So I followed her out. Uh, 679 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 4: it just kind of was coincidence. We walked out, you know, 680 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 4: I was right behind her. But I was like, man, 681 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 4: this is really really cool that that all these girls 682 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 4: were waiting for her after this really emotional loss. And 683 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 4: I was like, man, that's that, you know. And people 684 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 4: who know Michael Menzer, obviously a great player himself, who's 685 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 4: the on the administrative staff there at Plainfield now, but 686 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 4: was a great player at Indiana State and and but 687 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 4: his this is his daughter, and you know, I just 688 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 4: thought that was all these little girls, you know, that 689 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 4: is how it gets passed down, you know, from generation 690 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 4: to generation. And what makes indian in high school basketball 691 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 4: so awesome is is that moment right there and you know, 692 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 4: she's hugging these girls who were sad that she lost, 693 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 4: but but she's their hero, you know, and that I 694 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 4: thought that was, like, man, very cool and totally coincidentally 695 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 4: I got to even see that moment just because of 696 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 4: when I walked out that door. But uh but yeah, 697 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 4: but to me, that really that really hit me. You know, 698 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 4: here's a you know, Hannah Menzer whose dad was a 699 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 4: great player, and now she's the hero to these little 700 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 4: girls who will probably always remember her for being the 701 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 4: great player that she is. But but yeah, that was 702 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 4: I thought a really cool moment from a couple of 703 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 4: weeks ago. 704 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: Very cool, indeed, Kyle, And you know, it's finding those 705 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: little nuggets that you know, obviously that's why you do 706 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: what you do and why we continue to read along 707 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: at the Indianapolis Star and have you on the program 708 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: as well. Always appreciate the perspective and time, enjoy the weekend, 709 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 1: and then get set for sectionals. 710 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 2: All right, all right, Jake, thanks for having me on. 711 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Needrip joining us on the program. We come back. 712 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: It's a big one tonight at Mackie. It is Purdue 713 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: and Indiana around number two. We'll get more into that, 714 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: including looking at the perspective from inside the locker room 715 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,439 Speaker 1: of both. We'll do it on the other side. This 716 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,959 Speaker 1: song Eddie was on the streets to consume every fifth 717 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 1: time you play, and I'll remind you the listeners of 718 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:03,959 Speaker 1: this probably but hit that. This song was in the 719 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: steady rotation of every like seemingly eighth video played in 720 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: the summer of nineteen ninety four when I was an 721 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: intern at MTV. This was constantly in this and keep 722 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: them Separated? Who sang that song? Somebody helped me out 723 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: here warrang g No, not that one there that keep 724 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 1: them separated? You gotta keep them separated? And somebody helped 725 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: me out. How am I having a blank here? The offspring? 726 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 2: The offspring, thank you, JAV says You're welcome. 727 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: Thank you. 728 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 2: John. 729 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: Also sabotaged by the Beastie Boys. Those were it was 730 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: literally just like a constant rotation. Indiana Purdue tonight in 731 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: West Lafayette Mackie Arena. This is one that Purdue is 732 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: I think sometimes they are. Purdue is falling victim to 733 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: the I call it the Alex Smith phenomenon. You've heard 734 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: me mention the Alex Smith phenomenon on a number of occasions. 735 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: Alex Smith was the number one overall selection of the 736 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: NFL Draft, taken by the San Francisco forty nine ers 737 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: and was okay and then really found his footing and 738 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,240 Speaker 1: became a really nice player once he went to Kansas 739 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: City and Washington and had a really really good career. 740 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: And the career that he had at the other two 741 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: stops would have been sufficient in San Francisco except for 742 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: that he had been the number one overall selection. And 743 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: when that's the case, with that comes a totally different expectation. 744 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: And then you have other quarterbacks that get drafted, you know, 745 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of the second round, third round, Russell Wilson, 746 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 1: and they have great careers and it's like, man, unbelievable career, 747 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: especially considering you know, we didn't anticipate paid or expect that. 748 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: And Purdue is falling victim. I think a little bit 749 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: to the Alex Smith phenomenon in that at the beginning 750 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: of the year, people myself included Guilty is Charged, had 751 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: an expectation that they were and would be throughout the 752 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: course of the year the best team in college basketball, 753 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: and that through the course of the season they were 754 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: never going to slide any more than outside of say, 755 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: the top four in rankings. And I know the rankings. 756 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: You can say what you want about it, but you 757 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: get what I'm saying there, and that when they you know, 758 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,959 Speaker 1: maybe they'd slip up against a Michigan, but they would 759 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: beat Illinois, and they would beat you know, and get 760 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: other wins and not lose games at home, and Iowa 761 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: State wouldn't come in and do what they did against them. 762 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: And there has never been anything to show that Purdue 763 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: habitually is going to backslide themselves out of being in 764 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: that upper echelon conversation per se. But they they seemingly 765 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: are hesitant to get both feet inside that door. A 766 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: lot of that is I think the perimeter defense. They 767 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: just have not guarded the three well. Teams have gotten 768 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 1: too many open looks, and that might be tonight advantage 769 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 1: Indiana because Indiana if they are what we know about 770 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: Indiana is that Indiana is at its best really at 771 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: the only time that Indiana is at its good is 772 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: when they are getting outside scoring from beyond Wilkerson. And 773 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, Nick Doran hadn't hit a shot. We got 774 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: all excited about him. He's been completely absent here for 775 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: like five weeks in a row. Five games in Erow. 776 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: I probably should say Sam Alexis has given them a 777 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: little bit of juice on the inside. Tucker Devrees, I 778 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: don't know if it's the injury or just lost a step, 779 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: but he's had inability to get himself open looks. But 780 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: when he does, he obviously can shoot. If Indiana is 781 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: able to get around the arc and get themselves open 782 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 1: looks tonight, that's going to really be big for them. 783 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: And that's the area that Purdue has shown a vulnerability. 784 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: And from Indiana's standpoint, Indiana is more than Russell Wilson. 785 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: Anything they do is gravy because there was not a 786 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: lot of expectation going into it. And I think yes, 787 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: Indiana by pedigree expects and anticipates to be a bigger 788 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: name factor comes selection Sunday. But for a franchise on 789 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: a program. I guess I should say that at the 790 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, we didn't even know who most 791 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: of the roster was going to be. I think Darren DeVries, 792 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: you would have to say and be optimistic about what 793 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: he's been able to put together with this group, and 794 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: a win tonight would be even additional gravy on the gravy, 795 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: because that's kind of where this season has been for Indiana. 796 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: But there's a lot to discuss about it, and so 797 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: we're going to go on both sides of it. Upcoming 798 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 1: we go back to the Indianapolis Star, the man that 799 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 1: hovers Indiana Athletics for the Star. He is our friend 800 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 1: Zach who and Zach and I love the same beer. 801 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: We have the same favorite beer aside from PBR, which 802 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: I love surfside side of beer though correct a beer, 803 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: PBR my favorite, but this other one internationally speaking, well, 804 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: ask Zach if he remembers which one I'm talking about 805 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: and if it's because you know, you go through rotations 806 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: of favorites, right. But I want to get the Indiana 807 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: side of things and what we might see and maybe 808 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: even a different look they might try to create tonight 809 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: against perdue. We'll have that conversation next. I'm telling you 810 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: this song was everywhere. It's a good song, good song. 811 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: Dave First was a fan of the Offspring. First was 812 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: a big Offspring guy. They're out of San Diego. I 813 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,439 Speaker 1: believe San Diego or Santa Cruz. But hard to keep 814 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 1: Indiana and produce separated. Perhaps tonight will it be. You know, 815 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,240 Speaker 1: there's always kind of that bad blood at least between 816 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: the fans players themselves on the court. Tonight mac Arena 817 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: eight o'clock tip pregame at seven o'clock. You can hear 818 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: it on our sister station WIBC and joining us now 819 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: on the Java House Cold Brew and again I want 820 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: to reimplay. If you're going to the game, you're going 821 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: up to the Lafayette area. There are multiple Java House 822 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: locations of the cafes. There's also one in downtown India 823 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: on New York Street. There's one in the Simon Building, 824 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 1: there's one in Broaderpool. There are two in the Carmel area. 825 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: And if you use the Java House app, download the 826 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: app or are your beverage ahead of time? Your food 827 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: ahead of time? Used to co Jake twenty five twenty 828 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: five percent off, and of course Java House the cold brew. 829 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,399 Speaker 1: You can get hot coffee. It's just the cold brew 830 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: is the way in which it's formulated. That's what makes 831 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 1: it so smooth, always smooth. When discussing Indiana basketball, our 832 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 1: friend from the Indianapolis Star joining us on the guest line. 833 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,720 Speaker 1: It is Zach As Zach. I'll begin with the trivia 834 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: question of this. I'm going to put your memory to test. 835 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: I had said in leading into you just a moment ago, 836 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: that you and I share a passion for the same 837 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: international beer. Do you remember which one it is that 838 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: we have determined is our common ground, because I'm assuming, 839 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: like me, you have enjoyed several different international beers. But 840 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: which one is the one that we have in common 841 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: as a favorite? 842 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 3: Well, it is I think best enjoyed. 843 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 6: In the summer a nice cold pine of tenants and 844 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 6: in the winter a slightly warmer pint of tenants. 845 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: Fair enough, that is correct, Which is the pride of Scotland, 846 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: by the way, one of them. Okay, let's get to 847 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: this act tonight with Indiana. The mystery for me has 848 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,240 Speaker 1: been this, and that is for Indiana continuing to try 849 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,760 Speaker 1: to maybe work different offensive combinations of secondary and third 850 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: score if you will, And by that I mean Wilkerson 851 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: is a flat out scorer. He came out of the 852 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: bottle as a guy ready to score. But there have 853 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 1: been other players that have had their moments, but no 854 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,439 Speaker 1: one has consistently been necessarily a second and third running mate. 855 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 1: Where does Indiana find balance there and what can they 856 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: do to try to get consistency of offensive supporting help. 857 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's a good question. 858 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 6: I think it's a million dollar questions that Indian has 859 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 6: been chasing basically the whole season, largely because it hasn't, 860 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 6: for whatever reason or reasons, been able to get that 861 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 6: from Tucker Debries, I think the you know, I think 862 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 6: one thing that's been interesting to me is these last 863 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 6: you know, sort of handful of games, how much more 864 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 6: sort of demonstrable the offense has been toward getting the ball. 865 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 3: To Sam Alexis. 866 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 6: And you know, you think about the Oregon game to 867 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 6: an extent, Yes, you know, Oregon just kind of got 868 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 6: flooded under in that game in general, as has happened 869 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 6: to orgon a lot this year. But that Wisconsin game, 870 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 6: you know, when the offense kind of dried up in 871 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 6: Wisconsin knuckle down on the has the last eight ten minutes, 872 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 6: there was a lot of like direct post up to 873 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 6: Sam Alexis, and this is you know, people like me 874 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 6: who wrote a ton of stuff back in the summer 875 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 6: about how Darren Debriess teams were among the least post 876 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 6: up driven teams offensively in the last like five years. 877 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,799 Speaker 6: You know, I remember watching and trying to chart one 878 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 6: of those games in Puerto Rico where I don't think 879 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 6: I found the Indiana. 880 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 3: I think I found Indiana. 881 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 6: With like two post up possessions over forty minutes, like 882 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 6: they just didn't do it. And I don't think Darren 883 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 6: Debris has a massive aversion of post up offense. I 884 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 6: just don't think it's what he runs, and I think 885 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 6: for a lot of the season he hasn't. 886 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 3: But it's interesting to me to. 887 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 6: Sort of see him, to see him specifically designed something 888 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 6: around his five man the way that he has in 889 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 6: these last few games, because I think that is Sorry, 890 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 6: my seven year old is home sick from school and 891 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 6: he's shouting for reasons passing understanding at the moment, I apologize. 892 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 6: It's been interesting to see Indiana shift to more of 893 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 6: that because it seems like Indiana maybe is trying to 894 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 6: ignite that within that's that's not a great word, but 895 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 6: trying to build that into its offense at this time 896 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 6: of year. I think you still want to see more 897 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 6: from Tucker Debrees. I think, you know, you obviously should 898 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 6: have a level of belief based on his past performance, 899 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 6: not just this season but over his career, that Nick 900 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 6: Doran is just in a bit of shooting slump right 901 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 6: now and that this isn't permanent. 902 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 3: But the post piece of it is something that's kind 903 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 3: of gotten my attention. 904 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 6: And especially against producing that you know, Illinois was always 905 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 6: just going to completely crowd Indiana out around the rim. 906 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 3: They're they're just huge as a team, but. 907 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 6: Indiana is maybe matches up size wise a little bit 908 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 6: more players for player with Purdue. Does Indiana try to 909 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 6: do some of that tonight? 910 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: Is Tucker Debris one hundred percent healthy? 911 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 2: I think so. 912 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 6: I mean, I think that you know the question I 913 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 6: have and probably one we won't get an honest answer 914 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 6: to realistically, but you know, until after the season over. 915 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 6: But when I've been sort of trying to poke around 916 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 6: these last few weeks, it's more just like, is it 917 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,400 Speaker 6: an immediate concern or is it, you know, just the 918 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 6: fact that he's played one hundred and forty some odd 919 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 6: games in college. And I know it's easy for people 920 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 6: like you and me to say, well, he's twenty two, twenty. 921 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 3: Three, twenty four years old, he's in the best shape 922 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 3: of his life. He has no reason to be in pain. 923 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 6: But you know, go play one hundred and forty one 924 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 6: games of college basketball, most of which you are the 925 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 6: leading scorer, the sort of you know, everything man for 926 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 6: your team, which means you're going to get that kind 927 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 6: of attention from the other team. Defensively, which means you're 928 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 6: probably going to get roughed up and bumped around and 929 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 6: all those different things. I have wondered more if there 930 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,359 Speaker 6: is a wear and tear element that is maybe built 931 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 6: up over several seasons. I also think, and we've given 932 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 6: people like me, have given Tucker Debries a lot of 933 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,319 Speaker 6: credit for the way that he's kind of found other 934 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 6: ways to impact winning, you know, the assists, the rebounds. 935 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,280 Speaker 6: I think he's been really good offensively in some important 936 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 6: stretches for Indiana, but sometimes it's easy to forget that 937 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 6: does take something away. 938 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 3: From your offensive games. 939 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,359 Speaker 6: And if he's you know, if he's trying to sort 940 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 6: of emphasize those other areas too. Is it possible that 941 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 6: that is, you know, somehow kind of creating a drag 942 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 6: on his offense. I'm not sure this is Also it's 943 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,880 Speaker 6: worth saying the first time that he's been on a 944 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 6: team in college, which he was probably not its most 945 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 6: capable scorer, and so maybe there's some of that dynamic 946 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 6: two of trying to figure out where to fit and. 947 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 3: How to fit next to Lamar Wilkerson. 948 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 6: But I think it's clear that Indiana it is better 949 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 6: when Tucker de Rees is getting in his offensive game, 950 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,399 Speaker 6: is getting shots in it, hitting shots. 951 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 1: When you look. Zach Osterman is our guest from the 952 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: Indianapol Star previewing tonight Indiana and Purdue, and with what 953 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: Indiana did in round one, if you will, does has 954 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: Darren Devrees Zach offered any perspective on this? Does Indiana 955 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 1: just say, here's what we did in that game that worked, 956 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna try that go with that same model, or 957 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: do they anticipate some sort of adjustment or variation they 958 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: need to present. 959 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sure there's there's always gonna be some 960 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 6: anticipating adjustment, and you know this is where, like I 961 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 6: will admit that I will oversimplify this kind of analysis sometimes, 962 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 6: I do think it's probably fair to say, though this 963 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 6: this team has some pretty clearly defined paths to winning 964 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,879 Speaker 6: against just about anybody. And that stretches all the way 965 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,640 Speaker 6: back to August, that stretches all the way back to 966 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,320 Speaker 6: San Juan in terms of sort of saying, hey, the 967 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 6: way this team's gonna win games are pretty apparent. 968 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 3: The way this team's gonna lose games are pretty apparent. 969 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 6: The lack of size, you know, maybe the lack of 970 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 6: sort of dominant lateral quickness and lengths defensively, some rebounding issues, 971 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 6: you know, some some issues with maybe more than one 972 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 6: or two players having the ability to create off the 973 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 6: dribble rather than create within the flow of the offense. 974 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 6: And so I think if you're Indiana, like there's there's 975 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 6: more of an extent to which I think it's you 976 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 6: will certainly want to have learned some positive lessons from 977 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 6: Purdue that you can take back into this game. But 978 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 6: I think if you're Indiana, there's there's also kind of 979 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 6: an element of hey, like, we are what we are, 980 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 6: We know what wins this games and Frankly, there's some 981 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 6: of that stuff that gives Purdue trouble. 982 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 3: You know, Purdue. 983 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 6: Has really struggled against teams that are proven inability at times, 984 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 6: not uniformly, but at times over the last couple of years, 985 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,800 Speaker 6: teams that are proven inability to be able to hit shots, 986 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 6: you know, to be able to hit freeze and stretch 987 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 6: Purdue a little bit defensively, isolate bigs inside, don't let Purdue, 988 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 6: you know, kind of get on top of you with 989 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 6: the rebounding advantage, and then make them keep up with 990 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 6: you offensively. 991 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 3: Now that's easier said than done. 992 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,760 Speaker 6: I cannot iways, even looking back to some box sports today, 993 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,919 Speaker 6: I cannot remember the last time Indiana shot the ball 994 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 6: well at Matthew. But it is a very difficult play. 995 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 6: It's going You can't just go there and assume you're 996 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 6: going to hit twelve threes. But that has that has 997 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 6: been an issue for Purdue probably for most of the 998 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 6: last two years. It was certainly an issue in this 999 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 6: first matchup, not just because Okay, threes count for more 1000 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 6: than twos and teams to hit threes tend to have 1001 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 6: more success and all that, but because of what I 1002 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 6: think it does to produce specifically lineup wise, the way 1003 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 6: that it stretches for due out defensively, the way that 1004 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 6: it starts to take advantage of in this matchitude can 1005 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 6: create the way that it doesn't allow Perdue to crash 1006 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 6: the boards as easily necessarily, because if they're having to 1007 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 6: stretch that defense out past the perimeter, they're not going 1008 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,799 Speaker 6: to have as many bodies around the rim. And I 1009 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 6: think if you're Indiana, you would look at tonight and 1010 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 6: you would say, if we can get a few of 1011 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 6: those shots to go in early, then then we have 1012 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 6: a chance to maybe kind of discombobulate Purdue's game plan 1013 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 6: in the same way we did in Bloomington. 1014 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 3: But again, that is easier said than done in that building. 1015 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: You know, one thing I've never really asked Ach. You know, 1016 00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: we've gotten to know Kurt Signetti a little bit. I 1017 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: don't mean personally, but I think fans know who he is, 1018 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 1: what he's about. We see a lot of him. Darren 1019 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: Derez has kind of been a little bit more in 1020 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 1: the shadows, partially because of the success the success of 1021 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: Indiana football. But you know, it's it's the first year 1022 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 1: and it's a roster. We were unfamiliar with, and I 1023 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 1: do think that they are playing better basketball than they 1024 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: were at the beginning of the year. I think he 1025 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 1: deserves credit for that. But from what you can tell, 1026 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 1: what kind of guy is he? Honestly, like, who is 1027 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 1: the man that is guiding Indiana basketball? Uh? 1028 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 6: He is, I mean incredibly laid back, like relative to 1029 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 6: his profession. And I don't say that point in anyone 1030 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 6: college basketball coach. I've just been around college basketball coaches 1031 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 6: for a long time. They are a very high energy bunch. 1032 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 6: And it's not like he doesn't have energy. Actually the 1033 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,720 Speaker 6: most energetic I think you see him as on the sideline, 1034 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 6: but like he's about as easy going as anybody I 1035 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 6: have ever covered in the job. 1036 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,120 Speaker 3: It's interesting because when we. 1037 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 6: Kind of got some time to get to normal little 1038 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 6: bit sit down with him back in the spring, you know, 1039 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 6: he was insightful, and he was he was professional, and 1040 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 6: he was you know, a good interview and good to 1041 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,839 Speaker 6: deal with. But I kind of remember thinking that he 1042 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,359 Speaker 6: was almost like a little too quiet in a way, 1043 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 6: and I sort of wondered if that would play with 1044 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:16,399 Speaker 6: donors and things. 1045 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 3: And then and then we went. 1046 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 6: And covered its first trip to hubert I don't know 1047 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,879 Speaker 6: if you were familiar with the annual swing in late May, 1048 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 6: Indiana always goes down and has a big fundraising event 1049 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 6: at Huber's Orchard. 1050 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 3: And Winery down in Borden, and. 1051 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,400 Speaker 6: The football coach is the basketball coach always go and 1052 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 6: it's somehow or another, it's become a media event down 1053 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 6: the years. 1054 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 3: And when he got in front of a room of 1055 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 3: a thousand and I you. 1056 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 6: Donors, you know, like like the light bulb came on 1057 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 6: and he was a different person. You saw that again 1058 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 6: with that event they had down on Kirkwood where he 1059 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 6: bought everybody a drink and you could see, like it 1060 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 6: the ability to kind of bring a little bit more 1061 00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 6: personality out when he needs it. Now, I think, you know, 1062 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 6: certainly on the court and on the sideline, he is 1063 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 6: very competitive most of his own team. I think he 1064 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 6: is actually genuinely sort of proud of the fact that 1065 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,319 Speaker 6: he's never been whistled for a technical foul, although there 1066 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:06,759 Speaker 6: have been a couple of times this season that I've 1067 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 6: wondered if Big ten referees took that as a personal challenge, 1068 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 6: But you know it, he I think by and large, 1069 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 6: he just kind of is what you see I think 1070 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 6: he's a lot like somebody like Greg McDermott or Dana Alton, 1071 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 6: where there's there's not a lot of history onics, there's 1072 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 6: not a lot of sort of over animation. There's just 1073 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 6: kind of a basketball coach who's intense and competitive on 1074 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 6: the sideline and just generally a little bit more circumspect 1075 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 6: of it. 1076 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so what do we anticipate tonight? Early in this 1077 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 1: game between Purduing Indiana and Macurina, you are going to 1078 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: basically look at if something specific is happening that that's 1079 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: going to tell you the way this game is going 1080 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: to go. What's it going to be? 1081 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 6: Again, this is really simplistic, but how Indiana is scoring 1082 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 6: the ball? From Indiana's perspective, they have not shown an 1083 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 6: ability to play to to have success against anybody with 1084 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 6: a pulse when they're not scoring the ball. This is 1085 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 6: a team that wins by scoring. It is a team 1086 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 6: built to win with offense. And that doesn't mean that 1087 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 6: they can't defend their way through certain stretches. You know, 1088 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 6: they only allowed Purdue what was sixty seven points, sixty 1089 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 6: five points, sixty seven. 1090 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 3: In the game in Bloomington. 1091 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 6: You know that they have been frankly better defensively than 1092 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 6: I expected them to be. If you rewind back to 1093 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 6: some of those practices we got to see in the summer, 1094 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,959 Speaker 6: I thought, oh, man, like this team could really really 1095 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 6: struggle defensively. They have been a lot better than I 1096 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,439 Speaker 6: thought they would be at the defensive end of the floor. 1097 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 3: But they win by scoring. That's just said at their DNA. 1098 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 3: That's how they're built. And I'm I've said this a 1099 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 3: couple of times already day. 1100 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 6: I have not been as fascinated by an EU Purdue game, 1101 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 6: either in Bloomington or in West Lafayette as I am 1102 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 6: by this one in a while. And that really has 1103 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 6: probably more to do with Purdue because Indiana, certainly Indiana 1104 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 6: fans will never look at a game against Purdue and 1105 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 6: say it's a free hit. But if you wipe away 1106 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:11,000 Speaker 6: the names and the rosters and you just look at you're, 1107 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 6: you know, the the sort of the the the the record, 1108 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 6: the net ranking, whatever where you're playing, when you're playing, 1109 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,960 Speaker 6: et cetera. This is kind of Indiana's least important games. 1110 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 1: And it's really big for Purdue, don't you feel that way, Zach. 1111 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: It's really big for Purdue. 1112 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 6: It's it is it is Indiana's least important game unless 1113 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 6: they win it, and then that changes basically everything about 1114 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 6: the context of this season. That puts them safely in 1115 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 6: the NCAA tournament field. It gives Darren Debris the sweep 1116 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 6: of his rival in year one. It is a signature 1117 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 6: road wind that even something like UCLA wouldn't be. But 1118 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 6: if they lose it, the last four games of the season, 1119 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 6: and certainly those those three home games were always more 1120 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 6: important to especially because Indiana has already beaten Purdue once 1121 00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 6: this season. The context of was year one under Darren Debris' success, 1122 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 6: did they get to the tournament? 1123 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:04,360 Speaker 3: Did they sort of. 1124 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 6: Show proof of concepts and justify like the path that 1125 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 6: Indiana's put itself on here the three games after this 1126 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 6: when it really even they said, the four games after 1127 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 6: this one, it's again you removed all the sort of 1128 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 6: you know, the passion and the emotion from the matchups 1129 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 6: themselves were always the more important games. But to your point, 1130 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 6: where is Purdue? Because eight games ago Purdue was seventeen 1131 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 6: and one, they were flying, They looked as good at 1132 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 6: any team in the country. 1133 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,919 Speaker 3: Then they lost three in a row. We sort of said, 1134 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 3: that's a blip. Everyone's allowed to blip. 1135 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 6: Then they won four in a row, and we sort 1136 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 6: of said, hey, they pulled themselves out of it, and 1137 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 6: this was a huge week for them. It was Michigan. 1138 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 6: And I know I'm the imperfect vessel for this. I 1139 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 6: know I'm the IU writer for the Indianapolis Star, So 1140 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 6: you know, Purdue fans listening, please understand. I say this 1141 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 6: with absolutely no bias or mouth or anything. I genuinely 1142 01:00:55,880 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 6: love watching Matt Painter basketball. It is as complete neutral. 1143 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 6: It is something that brings me great joy. I am 1144 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:08,120 Speaker 6: fascinated to know where this Purdue team is because if 1145 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 6: they win a game like this, and especially if they 1146 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 6: win it comfortably, and they could, they are justifiably a 1147 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 6: double digit favor at least they were the last time 1148 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 6: I saw the line. Then we can say, hey, that's 1149 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 6: four of five and the one loss was to the 1150 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 6: best team in the country. You can write that off. 1151 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 6: But this team is still in great shape. They're headed 1152 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 6: for the tournament. They're gonna be a top two seed. 1153 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,080 Speaker 6: You know that, maybe they can get Michigan again in 1154 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 6: the Big Ten. 1155 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:33,800 Speaker 3: Whatever. 1156 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 6: If they lose, suddenly it's they're four and five and 1157 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 6: their last nine and they got swept by their rival, 1158 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 6: and the biggest week of their season, they wound up 1159 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 6: going zero to two. I am just fascinated to know 1160 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 6: where this Purdue team is because I do feel like 1161 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 6: this group still has some miles to travel together. I 1162 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 6: also feel like this group has seen itself kind of 1163 01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,720 Speaker 6: run into and be unable to so all the same 1164 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 6: problems a lot in the last couple of years. Not 1165 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 6: a lot in terms of losses, but a lot in 1166 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 6: terms of moments that we remember. And I am fascinated 1167 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 6: to see where Purdue is. When I say Indiana's scoring, 1168 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 6: that's how Indiana ways games, but it's also what if 1169 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 6: it is thirty three, thirty two Indiana at halftime. What 1170 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 6: if we're at the under twelfth time out and Indiana's 1171 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 6: only down two. What if we get to the last 1172 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 6: five minutes and Indiana's you know, up sixty six to 1173 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 6: sixty and it's a close game. But some of those 1174 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 6: old some of those old fears, some of those old 1175 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 6: doubts are creeping in from what Purdue's has sort of 1176 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 6: seen itself, the problems that's seen itself unable to solve 1177 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 6: in you know, some of these recent losses That's where 1178 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,280 Speaker 6: I think Indiana has got to keep the scoreboard pressure 1179 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 6: up tonight. It has got to hit shots. It's got 1180 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,080 Speaker 6: to score with Purdue. It's got to absorb. There will 1181 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,919 Speaker 6: inevitably be a couple of Naki runs, and it's got 1182 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,120 Speaker 6: to find a way to absorb. Because I am I'm 1183 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 6: fascinated by this game, and I am particularly fascinated to 1184 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 6: know what this looks like. If again it is like 1185 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 6: Indiana sixty six produced sixty two at the last media timeout, 1186 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 6: I have no idea what that looks like, Zach. 1187 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Finally, what we do know what it looks like, and 1188 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,919 Speaker 1: that is the extended future or certainty thereof of Kurt 1189 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 1: Signetti with Indiana. Correct. Is there a new development in 1190 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 1: that regard? 1191 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, So he gets a new contract. He's now making 1192 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 6: an average of thirteen point two million dollars. We don't 1193 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:35,960 Speaker 6: have the full term, so I don't know if he's 1194 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,920 Speaker 6: I don't, I don't, you know. Typically that's not what 1195 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 6: he's going to make next year, right, That's that's the 1196 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 6: average of the whole contract, year on year, average annual value. 1197 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 6: I think it's the preferred term in baseball. It's this 1198 01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 6: is not that it wasn't like a discussion or negotiation, 1199 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 6: but this was written into the contract he signed in October. 1200 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 6: Then if Indiana anytime Indiana made the playoff semi final, 1201 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,480 Speaker 6: the university the athletic department was required to go through 1202 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 6: I think it called it like a good faith market 1203 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:13,479 Speaker 6: review that basically ended with Kurt Signetti being placed among 1204 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 6: the top three highest paid coaches in the country. And 1205 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 6: so this was always kind of in the in the 1206 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 6: in the mail, so to speak. This was I think 1207 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 6: a lot more pro forma, a lot more just sort 1208 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 6: of well, here are the top three numbers, here's how 1209 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 6: we position you within that group, and a lot less 1210 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,720 Speaker 6: sort of Okay, now let's talk about bonuses. Now, let's 1211 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 6: talk about extra Now let's talk about staffing pool. There 1212 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 6: may be some of that stuff too when we get 1213 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 6: a hold of the full deal. The term itself did 1214 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 6: not extend. It still runs through twenty thirty three. But 1215 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 6: this was much more of just kind of like a 1216 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 6: I mean, it sounds weird to say that a you know, 1217 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 6: one point seven million dollar raise was just sort of 1218 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 6: like a formality, but this was a little bit more 1219 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,200 Speaker 6: like that than the sort of you know, the relative 1220 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 6: drama of a totally renegotiated deal. 1221 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 1: Those are some J and V numbers. Man Like, that's impressive, right, 1222 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: Lock it in, baby, lock it in and tear off 1223 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 1: the knobs. Zach. Appreciate the time as always, Indiana Purdue 1224 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 1: and all the coverage from the Indiana side at the 1225 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Star was Zach Osterman, who joins us on the program. 1226 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 1: Appreciate it man. 1227 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 3: Thanks for having me as always. 1228 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: We'll get the cold tenants in the summer and a 1229 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 1: warm tenants in the winter. Love it, Love it. Now 1230 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,360 Speaker 1: from the Purdue side of things, now that we've gotten 1231 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: where Indiana stands and what adjustments does Purdue make coming 1232 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 1: off of game number one, what did they learn? And 1233 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:45,360 Speaker 1: for Purdue, I haven't a way of looking at this 1234 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 1: that kind of what Zach mentioned that makes it a 1235 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 1: little bit fascinating. And what I mean by that is 1236 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 1: there are two ways from Purdue standpoint to look at 1237 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:04,439 Speaker 1: this coming off of Indiana getting round one, and it's 1238 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,560 Speaker 1: something that probably Indiana fans aren't gonna like, but I'm 1239 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 1: curious to ask it, and so I'll ask it with 1240 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,480 Speaker 1: Sam King, who covers the Boilers. We'll do it other 1241 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: side here acquarding company on an Indiana Purdue Friday on 1242 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:22,560 Speaker 1: the fan.

For the Boilers. After that 1251 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 1: they are off until Tuesday against Northwestern. Excuse me. Indiana 1252 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 1: is off until Tuesday against Northwestern, and Purdue, on the 1253 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 1: other hand, will be off until Thursday against Michigan State. 1254 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,320 Speaker 1: So tough one again for Purdue after that. Joining us 1255 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: now on the Java House Colebrew Coffee guest line, he is, 1256 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,440 Speaker 1: of course with the Lafayette Now help me out here, 1257 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: Eddie Journal and Courier. You got it right, Yes, all right, 1258 01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 1: lafayat Journal and Courier, Sam King, joining us return guests 1259 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 1: to the program. Sam, I'm going to begin right away 1260 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 1: with this, and that is for Purdue. When you look 1261 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:38,080 Speaker 1: at this particular game. Is this is Purdue more worried 1262 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 1: about making adjustments of what they didn't do against Indiana 1263 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,440 Speaker 1: and round one or does Purdue have bigger fish to 1264 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 1: fry of You know what, We've had a few games 1265 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 1: since then that have been of more importance and we 1266 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 1: have other areas to get ourselves right as opposed to 1267 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,960 Speaker 1: esoterically honing in on what Indiana may or may not do. 1268 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,160 Speaker 1: Does that make sense at all what I'm talking about up? 1269 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, it does. And you know, if you go back 1270 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 7: to that game in Bloomington, I think the issue was, 1271 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 7: for whatever reason, for about twenty five to thirty minutes 1272 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,520 Speaker 7: a game time Perdue just looked like it was out 1273 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,200 Speaker 7: there going through the motions and didn't play hard. And 1274 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,880 Speaker 7: Matt Paynter is a guy who doesn't typically rip his 1275 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 7: team in postgame, and that day he did. He just 1276 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 7: said it was unexplainable why the team came out flat 1277 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:27,679 Speaker 7: like that and ultimately nearly came back and pulled it off. 1278 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 7: But you can't put yourself on that kind of a hole. 1279 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 7: I think if Purdue comes out and plays hard and 1280 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 7: then improves on the things that it didn't do well 1281 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 7: in some of these losses, three point defense, rebounding. I 1282 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,480 Speaker 7: think pretty will be fine, but this is a monumental 1283 01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 7: game for the legacies of some of these guys who 1284 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 7: have played Indiana for four years and have come up 1285 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,200 Speaker 7: on the wrong end of it more than they haven't. 1286 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,759 Speaker 1: What specifically for Purdue if you were to look sam 1287 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,559 Speaker 1: in your opinion, your observation, what you've heard in talking 1288 01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 1: to Matt Paynter, what you've seen in practice, what is 1289 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:05,600 Speaker 1: the area for Purdue that has been their deficiency that 1290 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: has prohibited them from being the team that as we 1291 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 1: thought it would be one that had a lock on 1292 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 1: a number one seed throughout the totality of season. What 1293 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: has misfired? 1294 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,880 Speaker 7: I think the number one thing. And this is not 1295 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 7: something that Pinterers said specifically, but if you watch them, 1296 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 7: you kind of see the common trends as three point defense. 1297 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 7: The five losses produced had teams are shooting forty six 1298 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 7: percent from three. Michigan had you know, wide open shots 1299 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,640 Speaker 7: the other night, and you know you're not going to 1300 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,320 Speaker 7: miss them when you're that open and you can just 1301 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 7: stand on the spot, catch the ball, spot up and shoot. 1302 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,040 Speaker 7: The games that produced one or I guess the season 1303 01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 7: as a whole produce held opponents to like thirty three 1304 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 7: percent from beyond the arc, which you'd still like that 1305 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,679 Speaker 7: to be lower, but it's significantly higher. And Indiana didn't 1306 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 7: shoot great that first time that these two teams played, 1307 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,680 Speaker 7: but that has been kind of the common theme and 1308 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 7: the losses and then from there, you know, I think 1309 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,720 Speaker 7: produced fine. The team is still an offensive juggernaut, but 1310 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 7: the defense was the question going into the year, and 1311 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 7: I think as we get now to the stretch at 1312 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 7: the end of the season here, that remains, you know, 1313 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 7: kind of a common thing that's that's questioned. 1314 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Sam King is my guest. We're talking about Purdue in 1315 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 1: Indiana tonight. Is there any sort of a chemistry issue 1316 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: with Purdue or has there been? 1317 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 3: There? 1318 01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,400 Speaker 7: Certainly has and players were openly talking about how the 1319 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 7: communication wasn't there, namely on the defensive end, and I 1320 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,600 Speaker 7: think pretty much shored that up quite a bit. The 1321 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 7: defense has gotten better. Michigan makes a lot of teams 1322 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 7: look bad. I kind of tossed that game out and 1323 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,760 Speaker 7: in terms of saying, like, Purdue has some issues, but 1324 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,799 Speaker 7: you did see it in that Indiana game, for example, 1325 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 7: there was not the connectiveness on the defensive end. They 1326 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,760 Speaker 7: lost guys, you know, call a time out and say 1327 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 7: this guy can't get open. Connorin writes wide open coming 1328 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 7: out of the timeouts, and painters like, we just talked 1329 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 7: about this. How does this happen? But you know, I 1330 01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 7: think that overall the team chemistry is very good, but 1331 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 7: there's definitely been lapses in some games where the the 1332 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 7: communication on the court wasn't there. 1333 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: But these guys have played together for a long time. 1334 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:17,320 Speaker 1: They know each other well. So where does that I 1335 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,960 Speaker 1: guess that breakdown of communication, you know, from, what does 1336 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 1: that stem? 1337 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 7: It's tough to say, and you know they've played together 1338 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 7: for a long time. But Trey Kaufman Renn has played 1339 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,559 Speaker 7: multiple roles over the course of three years. Fletcher Lawyer's 1340 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,679 Speaker 7: played both the two and the three. Briden Smith played 1341 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:37,960 Speaker 7: kind of out of position, I want to say out 1342 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,679 Speaker 7: of position. But Perdu has more depth than it's had 1343 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 7: in the past, which allows him to not be the 1344 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,519 Speaker 7: point guard. He can play, you know, he's not guarding 1345 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 7: the point guard on the other team for example sometimes 1346 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 7: and produced just rotating a lot. They're they're living in 1347 01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,760 Speaker 7: help at times, which you can't do and be a 1348 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,719 Speaker 7: good defensive team. And when you do that and you're shouting, 1349 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 7: especially in road environments, and sometimes you just don't hear things. 1350 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,640 Speaker 7: And I think that Perdue's got its basic defensive principles 1351 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 7: that it sticks to, but when things break down, that's 1352 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 7: where the communication kind of goes haywire. And you know, 1353 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 7: we've seen teams capitalized. We saw Keaton Wagler score forty 1354 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 7: six points because of it. We've seen, you know, UCLA 1355 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 7: make a comeback. Obviously, Michigan just kind of took advantage 1356 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 7: of Purdue and being late in rotations and things like 1357 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,160 Speaker 7: that the other night. So I don't know. I think 1358 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 7: it's a thing that if Purdue wants to make a 1359 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 7: deep run, it has to be better talking and getting 1360 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 7: out on players on the perimeter. 1361 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,680 Speaker 1: You know, Sam, when you look at and it is 1362 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:45,520 Speaker 1: a credit to produce sustained high level that we're nitpicking 1363 01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,719 Speaker 1: stuff about a team that is still going to be 1364 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 1: what would you say, is the unless the bottom totally 1365 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 1: falls out, Purdue is probably at worst, what would you say, 1366 01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:57,759 Speaker 1: a three seed? 1367 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,599 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's laughable to me. And I said 1368 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 7: this to Braden Smith after the game at Nebraska. I said, 1369 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,519 Speaker 7: at the time, I think Pretty was nineteen and four 1370 01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,639 Speaker 7: or twenty and four, so that's a pretty good team. 1371 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 7: And he's like, yeah, it's pretty good. But I think 1372 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,880 Speaker 7: the expectations were just placed so high by players within 1373 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 7: the program, by fans that if this team didn't win 1374 01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,679 Speaker 7: a national championship, it was a failure. And that's that's 1375 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 7: unreasonable to put on any team. I don't care if 1376 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 7: you are the best team in the country, because it's 1377 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 7: such a random tournament. To win a championship in that, 1378 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 7: you know, just a few loss of them, people seem 1379 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 7: to think, oh, you know, this team isn't what we thought. 1380 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 7: Being twenty one and five is nothing to say, Man, 1381 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 7: this team isn't any good. I think this team is fine. 1382 01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,600 Speaker 7: You're going to see a team that kind of refocuses 1383 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,160 Speaker 7: now it isn't going to win the Big ten. But 1384 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 7: I think the goal all along for this team was 1385 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,679 Speaker 7: really what cannot win six games in the NCAA tournament 1386 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 7: and that will kind of determine the legacy of these guys. 1387 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 7: And just like last year, people were doubting Perdue going 1388 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,559 Speaker 7: in the the NCAA Tournament and Pretty played its best 1389 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,679 Speaker 7: ball come that time of the year. 1390 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:10,919 Speaker 1: What is the I guess the the mark that Purdue 1391 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: needs to hit for this year to not be considered, 1392 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, a total failure. They need to get how 1393 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:20,559 Speaker 1: far into the tournament? 1394 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 7: And I think, well, you've got to get to the 1395 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,559 Speaker 7: second weekend first of all, because you're going to be, 1396 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,000 Speaker 7: like you said, the lowest is a three feed. Most 1397 01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,400 Speaker 7: likely that should get you as a favorite. 1398 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 3: To the sweet sixteen. 1399 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 7: And then you know a lot of times, when you 1400 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,599 Speaker 7: get there, you're playing good teams from then on out 1401 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,599 Speaker 7: and it's kind of a crap shoot. But I believe 1402 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 7: because of what Purdue did two years ago, that raised 1403 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,760 Speaker 7: the bar a little bit to where even get into 1404 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,160 Speaker 7: a Final four, which would be an accomplishment. I think 1405 01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,920 Speaker 7: that would be something that over time a lot of 1406 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 7: fans would appreciate. Fans are hungry, and part of that 1407 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 7: is because the IU football sixs us and just you know, 1408 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,559 Speaker 7: I don't know if it's jealousy or what, but Purdue 1409 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 7: fans are desperate for a national championship. But I think, 1410 01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 7: you know, getting to an Elite eight, that's a solid season. 1411 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:12,800 Speaker 7: I don't think that Purdue fans or players would be 1412 01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 7: happy with that, but personally, I think that would be 1413 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 7: a great year, but I think it's kind of in 1414 01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,479 Speaker 7: fans eyes. You know, at least getting to a Final 1415 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,759 Speaker 7: four would would be what would suffice. 1416 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,439 Speaker 1: You know, the And again, Sam and I apologize to 1417 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,599 Speaker 1: Purdue fans to an extent of this because it sounds 1418 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:34,240 Speaker 1: like we're sitting here having this powout of what in 1419 01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the world is wrong with Purdue And to the point, 1420 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this is an elite level team. I just 1421 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 1: think that. And part of it may be this when 1422 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 1: you look at you know, Purdue is a veteran team. 1423 01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,639 Speaker 1: They're an experienced team. They know what the heck they're doing. 1424 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:53,600 Speaker 1: But one of the areas that Michigan improved itself, what 1425 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,120 Speaker 1: are the areas that Illinois improved itself? And one of 1426 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 1: the areas truthfully, that Indiana probably improved itself as they 1427 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 1: got older, they got more mature, and they got players that, yes, 1428 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,120 Speaker 1: they may not have been playing together in ann Arbor 1429 01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:10,799 Speaker 1: and in Champagne or in Bloomington, respectively, but they're guys 1430 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,640 Speaker 1: that have played a ton of college games and so 1431 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 1: therefore not only that, but produce played a ton of 1432 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: college games together. And the tape is kind of out 1433 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,959 Speaker 1: there for coaches to scrutinize on them, and so therefore 1434 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 1: the gap was closed or even surpassed. Does that make sense. 1435 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 7: I've actually never thought of it that way. That's somewhat 1436 01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,880 Speaker 7: a good point because, like you said, Purdue doesn't take 1437 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 7: a lot of transfers. Oscar Cluff is a transfer in 1438 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,680 Speaker 7: the starting lineup, but other than that, Liam Murphy transferred in, 1439 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 7: but he's barely playing. Jack benter A was redshirted last 1440 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 7: year and he's in the rotation. But yeah, the rest 1441 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 7: of it, there's tape on these guys, and tape on 1442 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 7: these guys playing a lot of minutes together. So you know, 1443 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 7: that's that's kind of an excellent point. So thanks for 1444 01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,439 Speaker 7: bringing that to my attention. That might be something that 1445 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 7: I use as a question for Matt Painter or moving forward. 1446 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:07,439 Speaker 7: But again, like Purdue looks offensively excellent in the second half, 1447 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 7: specifically against Michigan. I think the team offensively like they're fine. 1448 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 7: It's just going to come down to can you keep 1449 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 7: a team from outscoring you, because perdu is going to 1450 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 7: be a team that plays in the eighties most nights 1451 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 7: with its offensive efficiency. 1452 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 1: By the way, Eddie, do you happen to have the 1453 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: breaking news sounder. This is just Sam King of the 1454 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Lafayette Journal and Courier says that I made a good 1455 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,200 Speaker 1: point first time. I've been doing the show for what 1456 01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:38,680 Speaker 1: three years? 1457 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 6: Eddie? 1458 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 1: Is that right? Two and a half many first good 1459 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,639 Speaker 1: point I've ever made, Sam, So, and I'm being serious. 1460 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate you pointing, you illuminating that 1461 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,200 Speaker 1: because I don't make very many of them. You know 1462 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:50,639 Speaker 1: what I mean? 1463 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,000 Speaker 7: Well, you know blind squirrel finds an every once in. 1464 01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:00,639 Speaker 1: A while, So that's exactly correct. That's exactly correct. Okay, Sam, 1465 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,599 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you the same question I asked 1466 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 1: Zach Osterman from the Indianapolis Start from the IU side 1467 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 1: of things, that is tonight's game. You are going to 1468 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: be looking for what early in this game or there's 1469 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,360 Speaker 1: going to be what would happen? That is going to 1470 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 1: be the thing that you say, That's what I was 1471 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 1: looking for, and that's going to tell me how this 1472 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 1: game is going to go. That will be what early. 1473 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 7: Uh, Perdue's got to keep Indiana from getting hot from 1474 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,360 Speaker 7: three and obviously that is easier said than done. We've 1475 01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:31,760 Speaker 7: seen the usures do it quite a bit this year. 1476 01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 7: But we've seen what happens when the team is not 1477 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 7: hitting shots from the outside. Also, so I think if 1478 01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,080 Speaker 7: Purdue can get out to a big lead, get this 1479 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,799 Speaker 7: crowd into it, you might be able to take Indiana 1480 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,639 Speaker 7: right out of the game. But if Indiana comes out 1481 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 7: and you know, hits a few early and gets some 1482 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,439 Speaker 7: momentum and quite that crowd, that can make this down 1483 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:52,719 Speaker 7: to the wire game again. 1484 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,880 Speaker 1: Eight o'clock tonight, Mac, you Arena, Sam. Appreciate the time 1485 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,360 Speaker 1: as always, Man, thanks for having me on. Appreciate it. 1486 01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,719 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on within the Olympics, by the way, 1487 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:04,720 Speaker 1: to get you caught up on. We will let you 1488 01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 1: know about that. On the other side. And there is 1489 01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: an interesting point. A little bit of what I just 1490 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: mentioned comes from a very interesting perspective from another friend 1491 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 1: of the show. We'll get to that as well. On 1492 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 1: the other side. And still yet to come on the 1493 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,160 Speaker 1: big program, Kevin Bowen coming up. Top of the hour. 1494 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 1: Good for the hard Friday. Bottom of the two o'clock hour. 1495 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 1: A querying company on the fan. Okay, a couple of 1496 01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: news and notes items. We'll get to the Olympics in 1497 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,759 Speaker 1: a second. There was one incident that just took place 1498 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: and I realize sometimes it's hard, Eddie, and you correct 1499 01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. I think what I'm watching is live, right. 1500 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,360 Speaker 1: I guess it does say live there, but sometimes it's 1501 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,280 Speaker 1: hard to know, especially tonight when you watch like it 1502 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,719 Speaker 1: some of this may be shown later, So I'm always 1503 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 1: hesitant to say results of something if it's what's going 1504 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 1: to air tonight, right, But it's already airing live today, 1505 01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 1: so it's not like it's being embargoed until later tonight. 1506 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 2: Right. 1507 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: Having said that, I'll get you up to speed on 1508 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,840 Speaker 1: a couple of things. But let's begin with the Pacers 1509 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,000 Speaker 1: injury report for tonight. 1510 01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:12,240 Speaker 2: Eddie. 1511 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna do this in trivia form, as we do 1512 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:14,680 Speaker 1: from time to time. 1513 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,559 Speaker 2: We always can't pay fun, Okay, I. 1514 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 1: Would like for you to tell me, aside from the obvious, 1515 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 1: which would be Tyre's Halliburton and Obi Toppin, tell me 1516 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,040 Speaker 1: the number of players that would be listed as out 1517 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,160 Speaker 1: for tonight's game with the Wizards seven o'clock tip six 1518 01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 1: thirty pre game on this station. 1519 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,120 Speaker 2: So outside of the obvious, are we including Johnny Furfee, 1520 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 2: Vis subots In, Pascal Siakam Because we already knew that 1521 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 2: going into. 1522 01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,320 Speaker 1: We didn't know that about Siakam. We assumed it didn't 1523 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,719 Speaker 1: know it. Uh So Siakam obviously is out. Yeah, okay, 1524 01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 1: are there any others than yes, Furfey obviously with the foot. 1525 01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,160 Speaker 1: You know Furfy's gonna be the knee. Excuse me, it's 1526 01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: gonna be out for the year, Zubots. We simply know 1527 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 1: it's going to be time. He's got the ankle, et cetera. 1528 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 1: And then we obviously know about Topping and how and 1529 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:03,920 Speaker 1: Tyres Halliburton. So how many other players one player is out? 1530 01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that player out. We can do the 1531 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,040 Speaker 1: ding buzz rule here. 1532 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 4: Uh. 1533 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 1: I will say that t J McConnell is out tonight. 1534 01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:15,799 Speaker 3: Okay. 1535 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 2: So TJ McConnell is plague. We don't know if he's 1536 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 2: out or if he's playing, so he's questionable. So then 1537 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 2: that'd be. 1538 01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 1: He's questionable, right, yes, Okay, So that do we go 1539 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 1: crickets are questionable? Yeah, we could do that. Okay, So 1540 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:35,719 Speaker 1: how many are listed as questionable? 1541 01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 2: Then three total? You've already got one with McConnell. 1542 01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:45,839 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna say that Aaron Nesmith is questionable. Okay, 1543 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 1: I will say that Andrew nimhart is out. 1544 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,240 Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead and hit me with the rest of 1545 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,960 Speaker 2: the player that is out is Aaron Smith with Aaron 1546 01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:02,040 Speaker 2: Smith with a right ankle spring, Andrew im Hardy's doubtful 1547 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:08,280 Speaker 2: lower back injury management, Micah Potter questionable left ankle spring, 1548 01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:15,720 Speaker 2: Cam Jones questionable lower back soreness, McConnell questionable right hamstring soreness. 1549 01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 1: So again, take for that what you will. Right in 1550 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:27,719 Speaker 1: the Olympics, Nick Gepper, I believe this is taking place 1551 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:33,640 Speaker 1: right now. If you are wanting to watch the Olympics 1552 01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 1: tonight and you are bypassing the Indiana Purdue game, I 1553 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: hate to say, don't don't turn your radio away, but 1554 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 1: I guess turn it down. I'm not giving any like 1555 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 1: big time stuff here. But two things of note. First off, 1556 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 1: it is insane to watch freestyle skiing, which basically is 1557 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:55,759 Speaker 1: like a halfpipe but on skis, and I do feel 1558 01:22:55,760 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 1: bad for and I know that people are going to, 1559 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, give me grief here. Okay, But and Nick 1560 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 1: Gepper is performing right now. He had qualified for the 1561 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:18,360 Speaker 1: finals here in his event today and he is going 1562 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,800 Speaker 1: right now. He is the lone Indiana representative in the 1563 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,839 Speaker 1: Winter Olympics. In Milan. A Hunter Hess is the athlete 1564 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 1: in I believe freestyle skiing that kind of put the 1565 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,840 Speaker 1: microscope on himself when he was asked. He didn't volunteer it, 1566 01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 1: but he was asked questions in the press conference when 1567 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 1: all of the athletes arrived. They got a little bit political. 1568 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 1: There was response to it from very high places, and therefore, 1569 01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of pressure on him, 1570 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 1: and he did earlier today in his performance and this 1571 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,160 Speaker 1: is not unique to him. I will say that in 1572 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,160 Speaker 1: the freestyle skiing thing where you're going up and you're 1573 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: doing tricks in the air and then landing, he did 1574 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 1: have a I don't know what you would call it 1575 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 1: a wipeout, I guess, but like every third skier does it. 1576 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:20,640 Speaker 1: It's remarkable. Eddie, I think this would be the freestyle 1577 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 1: skiing when you're on skis. It's one thing to be 1578 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 1: on a snowboard going up, but when you've got two 1579 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,760 Speaker 1: skis and you're going high in the air and twirling 1580 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:33,639 Speaker 1: and doing all of the aero dynamic gymnastics if you will, 1581 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 1: and then you got to land on two skis and 1582 01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: go right back down again. I mean, how long would 1583 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 1: it take you to learn how to do that a 1584 01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 1: long time, would you ever? I mean, I. 1585 01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,679 Speaker 2: Think in order for me to learn it, I'd probably 1586 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:55,960 Speaker 2: have to you know, obviously be out there and doing it, 1587 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,680 Speaker 2: but I'd have to like fall or suffer or you know, 1588 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 2: keep falling down hers. 1589 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: I don't know how, like all right, well, I gotta. 1590 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,000 Speaker 2: Figure this out because I'm tired of falling and I 1591 01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:05,840 Speaker 2: don't know how. 1592 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 1: Do you imagine? Can you imagine how strong? And I 1593 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,360 Speaker 1: know that the boots are set up in certain ways, 1594 01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 1: but the overall ankle and ligament strength you would have 1595 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:22,120 Speaker 1: to have to withstand the constantly just the way you're 1596 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:26,320 Speaker 1: landing and contorting all of it is amazing. It's amazing, 1597 01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 1: and you know you can certainly the half pipe right now, 1598 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 1: the freestyle skiing halfpipe is what is live right now, 1599 01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 1: and Nick Gepper is out there. He had qualified this 1600 01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 1: as the final eleven and Nick Gepper of Indiana is 1601 01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,640 Speaker 1: in that competition that's taking place right now now. On 1602 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:53,720 Speaker 1: the hockey side, women won gold. Awesome. The men in 1603 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:55,920 Speaker 1: hockey are was fantastic. 1604 01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 2: Yesterday that gold medal match, well, I say against Canada 1605 01:25:59,320 --> 01:25:59,839 Speaker 2: was awesome. 1606 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 1: And there is the possibility that USA and Canada will 1607 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: be the men's gold medal match. That's because there is 1608 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,960 Speaker 1: still an obstacle to go for the United States. They 1609 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 1: face Slovakia. The Canadians have advanced to the gold medal 1610 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 1: they earlier defeated Finland and so they are in the 1611 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 1: gold medal game. They will await now and see whether 1612 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: or not it is the United States that they're play. 1613 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking out out the window here. J and V's 1614 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:26,719 Speaker 1: out hugging people. 1615 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:27,559 Speaker 2: Interesting. 1616 01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to talk chemistry and camaraderie. One of 1617 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,360 Speaker 1: our friends, that's the anchor for the Telemundo station. He 1618 01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 1: and JV out hugging out there. Oh yes, hard guy huh. 1619 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,320 Speaker 1: I forget his name, but he's a great guy. Oh yeah. 1620 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:45,000 Speaker 1: Canada had to come back against the Finns. They're down 1621 01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 1: to nothing the tight end third period. Then they took 1622 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,280 Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett, a team of a fan of the team. 1623 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,720 Speaker 1: They're playing real fins to the left and fins to 1624 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,680 Speaker 1: the right. I mean, they're all over the place. So 1625 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,840 Speaker 1: Canada had to come back to win that game. 1626 01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:59,240 Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah, they were down to nil. 1627 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 1: It would be I'm telling you, obviously, we know Canada 1628 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,160 Speaker 1: is going to be there if it's Canada and the 1629 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 1: United States. What was that hockey tournament that took place. 1630 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,599 Speaker 2: The four nations face off that ultimately led to the 1631 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,479 Speaker 2: NBA changing their form to the Star Stripes and Team World, 1632 01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 2: which because that thing was I think that worked out 1633 01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,960 Speaker 2: pretty well. Now they just need to figure something out 1634 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 2: to where a team's not playing a game and then 1635 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 2: they're in that championship that quote unquote championship game right 1636 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 2: after it. They would never do this, but they should 1637 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,320 Speaker 2: make it just all one big event, have one game 1638 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,599 Speaker 2: they do like the three point contest, next game, dunk 1639 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,320 Speaker 2: contest or skills or whatever. The third element of All 1640 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:46,320 Speaker 2: Star Weekend is. 1641 01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 1: Any I just feel like the All Star Weekend this 1642 01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:54,720 Speaker 1: year and it came. Maybe it's been a slow the 1643 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 1: airs slowly gone out of the balloon, but the dunk 1644 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 1: contest in general points you out to an extent. It 1645 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,799 Speaker 1: was not in any way on the American sports calendar. 1646 01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:09,599 Speaker 1: I think most people are like, oh, that was this weekend, 1647 01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 1: whereas it used to be major appointment viewing. And I 1648 01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:17,720 Speaker 1: love the NBA, but that's one that I just I 1649 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 1: think part of it too is there are so many young, 1650 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: very good don't get me wrong. But there are so 1651 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 1: many players that in the NBA because of the one 1652 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,080 Speaker 1: and done aspect of it, that even when they are 1653 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,760 Speaker 1: young players in the league, you don't know about them 1654 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:35,840 Speaker 1: because you didn't watch them for four years and in 1655 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,760 Speaker 1: two final fours and in epic matchups throughout March Madness 1656 01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:41,840 Speaker 1: for the last four years, and you're just not as 1657 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:47,000 Speaker 1: familiar with them. Gepper, by the way, is in seventh 1658 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 1: after the first round of the men's halfpipe, the loan 1659 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 1: who's your representative? In seventh in the men's half pipe 1660 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 1: standings after round number one, Kevin Bowen joins us. Top 1661 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,519 Speaker 1: of the hour, we will go over include it literally 1662 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,160 Speaker 1: is his favorite time of the year. Christmas has a 1663 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:10,240 Speaker 1: ride for Kevin Bowen. We'll explain next a Friday. Indeed, 1664 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 1: it's hard to believe, by the way, when the do 1665 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,800 Speaker 1: the Olympics close on Sunday? Is that right? Sunday evening 1666 01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:17,760 Speaker 1: closing ceremonies? 1667 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:19,719 Speaker 2: Is it this week or next week? 1668 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:24,800 Speaker 1: I think it's this, isn't it? Because the the hockey finals. 1669 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:28,719 Speaker 1: I believe the men's hockey game would be the last event. 1670 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,439 Speaker 1: And I saw people like this is ridiculous. They should 1671 01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:33,800 Speaker 1: have planned it for primetime and I'm like, yeah, man, 1672 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,679 Speaker 1: like it's in a six hour time difference. 1673 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, They end on the twenty second. 1674 01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. So things are winding down, and that includes the 1675 01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: men's halfpipe final that is taking place right now. Nick 1676 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:52,680 Speaker 1: Gapper of the Lawrenceburg area of Indiana is in that 1677 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:57,679 Speaker 1: right now and is participating speed skating was earlier today 1678 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,720 Speaker 1: that is still upcoming for men later. I realize a 1679 01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:04,040 Speaker 1: lot of this probably will air tonight on television, men's 1680 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 1: curling taking place the bronze medal game. What happened with 1681 01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,920 Speaker 1: that Canadian that was cussing people out? 1682 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 2: Do we know? 1683 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:11,639 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1684 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if he got banned 1685 01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 2: or what. 1686 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 1: He was pushing the stone right, yeah. 1687 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,040 Speaker 2: He was illegally touching the stone. 1688 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,639 Speaker 1: You can't do that past a certain point. And these 1689 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 1: curling people, let me tell you, they take it serious. 1690 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,679 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, I'll bet you Kevin Bowens curled 1691 01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:30,840 Speaker 1: the barbell. Probably he joins us now on the Java 1692 01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,559 Speaker 1: House Cold Brew Coffee guest line. Of course. You hear 1693 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,840 Speaker 1: him on the Morning Show each and every morning at 1694 01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:39,000 Speaker 1: seven am, along with Jeff Rickin and James Boyd. Kevin, 1695 01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,719 Speaker 1: have you ever there is a curling club of Central 1696 01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:43,439 Speaker 1: Indiana that was kind enough to have me out a 1697 01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:45,400 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and it really was fun. Have 1698 01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:46,320 Speaker 1: you ever curled? 1699 01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:52,519 Speaker 8: Wow, I'm jealous. No, I've never curled in my life. 1700 01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 8: Where was his east Side? 1701 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:58,320 Speaker 1: No, we actually went to and it was honestly, it 1702 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,840 Speaker 1: was super cool. Went to the Colisseum and did it 1703 01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 1: at the Colisseum and it was you know, I I 1704 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:10,640 Speaker 1: the hardest part about it is when you you have 1705 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,680 Speaker 1: to wear like a special kind of shoe. But I 1706 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:16,440 Speaker 1: was really nervous. When you are the one that releases 1707 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:18,200 Speaker 1: the stone, you have to kind of glide on the 1708 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 1: ice a little bit and that you kind of push 1709 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: off and that takes him getting used to and then 1710 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 1: once you release the stone. And I think most are 1711 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 1: aware of this now because curling has become kind of 1712 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,680 Speaker 1: the sport that is known because everybody likes to make 1713 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 1: fun of its obscurity, and so therefore everybody knows about it. 1714 01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 1: But you get the broom guy in gal and let 1715 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Kevin, I'm going to put you 1716 01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 1: on the spot. Do you know what exactly the job 1717 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:48,120 Speaker 1: or strategy of the broom person is. 1718 01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 5: To try and speed it up right. 1719 01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:57,439 Speaker 9: Correct or slow it down, directionally correct or curling. 1720 01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 1: Look at Eddie, look at the big brain on Eddie 1721 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:01,639 Speaker 1: to curl it. 1722 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,720 Speaker 8: Now, I am curious about this. So you did it, 1723 01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 8: you said at the coliseum. So just obviously whatever Indie 1724 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:11,160 Speaker 8: Fuel's home rank there at the time. Do you are 1725 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:15,600 Speaker 8: there any actual curling places in the city of Indianapolis, 1726 01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:17,800 Speaker 8: Like literally you knock on the door and you're like, 1727 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,160 Speaker 8: welcome to our curling studio. 1728 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:22,519 Speaker 2: I think there's one in Fisher's. 1729 01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:24,920 Speaker 1: I think it is in Fishers now, yes, the Circle 1730 01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 1: City Curling Club. And now that I think about it, 1731 01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,760 Speaker 1: it might have been you know what, Kevin, I might 1732 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:35,080 Speaker 1: have misspoken. We may have gone to the caramel Ice Skadium, 1733 01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty certain we were at the coliseum. It 1734 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:42,000 Speaker 1: was like about five years ago. And I'm pretty sure 1735 01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 1: we're the. 1736 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,840 Speaker 5: Coin skating back in the day, the bow and the 1737 01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:45,559 Speaker 5: Bowen Brothers. 1738 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:47,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean carmel Ice skating was a big deal 1739 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:48,599 Speaker 1: there for a long time. 1740 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:50,439 Speaker 2: Kevin, do you have the afternoon plans tomorrow? 1741 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 5: Afternoon? 1742 01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,759 Speaker 8: Plant wet like a huge Notre Dame game, Notre Dame Pittsburgh. 1743 01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:55,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, you got coming over? 1744 01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:56,760 Speaker 2: What time is that? 1745 01:32:57,479 --> 01:32:57,759 Speaker 8: Two. 1746 01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,240 Speaker 2: Oh never mind.

Give me one second? 1759 01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:29,160 Speaker 1: Okay, the guy that does the broom or the gal 1760 01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:31,640 Speaker 1: you are creating, what's that? 1761 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:36,240 Speaker 2: Anderson? Well, that's not Circle City I know? Right, that 1762 01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 2: seems to. 1763 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:41,439 Speaker 5: Be yes, Oh my god, training campus. 1764 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:43,840 Speaker 1: Go is it at the Wigwam? Is that it? Are 1765 01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:45,759 Speaker 1: they using the did we find a use for the Wigwam? 1766 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,240 Speaker 1: Or is it one of the nineteen I hot parking lots? 1767 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:51,759 Speaker 8: It's got a ten thousand word feature coming on Monday. 1768 01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 3: That's right. 1769 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:57,839 Speaker 1: So you here's the thing. The broom person you are creating, 1770 01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,599 Speaker 1: you are doing one of two things. You're either smoothing 1771 01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 1: off the ice for where the stone is about to go, 1772 01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that it goes faster, or if you're 1773 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,160 Speaker 1: wanting to slow it down, you get in front of 1774 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,479 Speaker 1: it and you create ice shavings to then block in 1775 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:14,640 Speaker 1: front of the stone, so the stone has to go 1776 01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,120 Speaker 1: through that if you realize that the release point, it 1777 01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:20,040 Speaker 1: is going too fast from the beginning, so you're creating 1778 01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:23,040 Speaker 1: clean air or dirty air, basically, is what I'm getting at. Okay, Kevin, 1779 01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:25,040 Speaker 1: it is your favorite week of the year upcoming? 1780 01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 5: Is this last two hundred or what? 1781 01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:28,280 Speaker 1: Now? 1782 01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:30,320 Speaker 8: I will say this before we move on, which I'm 1783 01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:33,760 Speaker 8: sure is the riveting radio yesterday when we beat the 1784 01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,960 Speaker 8: Swiss and Curly I forget the announcer's name, but when 1785 01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:40,600 Speaker 8: he said monumental throw here in the tenth end, and 1786 01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:42,639 Speaker 8: when he said I'm going to let the crowd tell 1787 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,880 Speaker 8: you what happened, I mean you might as well said 1788 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,879 Speaker 8: Tiger Woods is just getting to win a six Masters. 1789 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:54,440 Speaker 8: I mean the electricity that went through my body was unparallel. 1790 01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:57,559 Speaker 1: Now, I think because there's a release point that you 1791 01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,040 Speaker 1: can't go over when you like a line, that you 1792 01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:02,599 Speaker 1: can't touch the stone past that release point. And if 1793 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, the Swiss get penalized a lot for 1794 01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,360 Speaker 1: oftentimes being in the neutral zone for too long. And 1795 01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,360 Speaker 1: that's the only thing I know about Switzerland and I 1796 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:15,320 Speaker 1: can use that Joe for any Okay, So, Kevin, the 1797 01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:19,320 Speaker 1: combine upcoming, give us a lowdown here first off of 1798 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 1: just kind of the overall schedule of the NFL Combine 1799 01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:24,720 Speaker 1: and when it arrives. 1800 01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:28,959 Speaker 8: Yeah, I do think we're still waiting maybe official official schedule, 1801 01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:32,320 Speaker 8: but assuming it follows kind of what we've had in 1802 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 8: the past years. I think last year Ballard and Stike 1803 01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 8: and talked on Tuesday. So I believe head coaches and GMG, 1804 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 8: you talk Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Prospects get to 1805 01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:44,880 Speaker 8: town then and then they work out on the final day. 1806 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,600 Speaker 8: Basically they're here for four days, kind of on a 1807 01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:50,320 Speaker 8: four day sequence. They divide them up and I think 1808 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,400 Speaker 8: it's three or four groups of players. Obviously went past 1809 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 8: catchers and quarterbacks to be here at the same time, 1810 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,400 Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera. So I think for Fernando Mendoza, 1811 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,559 Speaker 8: for example, I want to say he met the media 1812 01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:05,200 Speaker 8: on Friday, and then quarterbacks I think throw Saturday. I 1813 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:06,479 Speaker 8: think they want to have that as much in the 1814 01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,880 Speaker 8: primetime window. Obviously, Mendoza's already said he's not going to throw. 1815 01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:12,960 Speaker 8: But yeah, players will start to get to Indy coming 1816 01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 8: up this weekend, and I know we'll be down there 1817 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,720 Speaker 8: in some shows. So yeah, I think that covers kind 1818 01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:19,759 Speaker 8: of the basic schedule. 1819 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't mean to undercut what it is that's going 1820 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:26,080 Speaker 1: to be one of the primary points of discussion on 1821 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,559 Speaker 1: this radio station for the next week. But I'm curious 1822 01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 1: of this Kevin flip and se aside. Over the years 1823 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,040 Speaker 1: and the course of time, and in particular as the 1824 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:39,960 Speaker 1: combine has become more commercially advantageous for the league itself, 1825 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 1: has the scrutiny of a player's ability at the combine 1826 01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:51,080 Speaker 1: been devalued over the years. I understand the importance of 1827 01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:53,920 Speaker 1: the physical aspect of it, of you know, making sure 1828 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,640 Speaker 1: that a player that had a shoulder injury or you 1829 01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,639 Speaker 1: know that had a knee question, all of the MRI, 1830 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,200 Speaker 1: the things that a player goes to. I understand the 1831 01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:05,639 Speaker 1: importance of all of that. But have we seen less 1832 01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:10,799 Speaker 1: focus on the analysis of how well a guy moves, cuts, lifts, 1833 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,800 Speaker 1: et cetera. When they are here. 1834 01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:19,880 Speaker 8: I don't know, Honestly, I think the analytics and sports 1835 01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:26,320 Speaker 8: have continued to I guess put those numbers more into limelight. 1836 01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:29,680 Speaker 8: There's more data. And again this sounds nerdy as can be, 1837 01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:32,519 Speaker 8: but okay, we have Jake Querry and he's six' four 1838 01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:34,639 Speaker 8: and he's two hundred and five, pounds and he runs 1839 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,799 Speaker 8: four to six and he benches this and he jumps 1840 01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:38,680 Speaker 8: that and he does. 1841 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:39,800 Speaker 5: It we put that in. 1842 01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:43,280 Speaker 8: Database we find the like minded profiles of him over 1843 01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:46,559 Speaker 8: the thirty some years of combined data we, have and 1844 01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:51,880 Speaker 8: that player hits at a x percentage. Standpoint and now 1845 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,320 Speaker 8: that's one more data. Point SO i think the physical 1846 01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:57,639 Speaker 8: aspect of the common, granted you do HAVE i think 1847 01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:02,599 Speaker 8: more players opting out of specific and you, know agents are, saying, 1848 01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:03,200 Speaker 8: well my. 1849 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:04,120 Speaker 5: Guy's not gonna run A grete. 1850 01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,920 Speaker 8: FORTY i don't want, that you, know forty necessarily in 1851 01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:07,519 Speaker 8: the combined. 1852 01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,840 Speaker 5: Data SO i do think you see some of, That but, NO. 1853 01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:14,439 Speaker 3: I don't, think you, know it's less than too too. 1854 01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,400 Speaker 8: MUCH i you, know maybe there's some other aspects of 1855 01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,200 Speaker 8: the combine we talk about a little bit, more BUT 1856 01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:24,160 Speaker 8: i still think from a data, standpoint, again much more 1857 01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,800 Speaker 8: of an analytical aspect of. IT i think a lot 1858 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:27,760 Speaker 8: of people find it super. 1859 01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:32,320 Speaker 1: Relevant you, know when you if you overall look at, 1860 01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:37,040 Speaker 1: It kevin like A. Mendoza do you Blame mendoza for 1861 01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,800 Speaker 1: Saying i'm not going to, throw because at this point 1862 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,720 Speaker 1: it seems as though anything that he, does they are 1863 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 1: only going to look for reasons to demerit him as 1864 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,920 Speaker 1: opposed to verify. Him does that make? 1865 01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,800 Speaker 5: Sense, YEAH i mean there's no point in him. 1866 01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:56,960 Speaker 8: THROWING i, YEAH i, mean you, know If Dante moore 1867 01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:00,680 Speaker 8: was in this draft, class, maybe but like you, know 1868 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:02,200 Speaker 8: you are clearly to the number one. 1869 01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,280 Speaker 3: Pick you, KNOW i believe he said he's gonna throw 1870 01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:05,599 Speaker 3: at The Pro. 1871 01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:08,000 Speaker 8: Day you, know he wants to obviously help out The 1872 01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:11,280 Speaker 8: Omar coopers And Elijah throts and all of that, aspect 1873 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:13,160 Speaker 8: which you know makes total sense to me as. 1874 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:17,240 Speaker 5: Well so, YEAH i don't you, know quarterbacks. 1875 01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:20,680 Speaker 8: THROWING i don't think that maybe is as relevant when 1876 01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:22,880 Speaker 8: you are clearly the number one.

PICKS i just don't know 1895 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 8: if you're in a situation to where you could do. 1896 01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 5: That if we were here, streaming it was just. 1897 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 8: One need or two, needs and you, know maybe you 1898 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,080 Speaker 8: check one in free agency and then you check the 1899 01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:26,479 Speaker 8: other in the. 1900 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,400 Speaker 5: Draft.

NUMBER i mean almost a quarter of the 1906 01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:45,640 Speaker 8: picks are at a premium position AND i venture to 1907 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,559 Speaker 8: guess if you look at recent, drafts we have not 1908 01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 8: gotten to that number very, often and a lot of 1909 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:54,120 Speaker 8: them very early in the draft.
