So I'm just proud of everyone on 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 8: this team, especially the seniors that have been here. Everything 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 8: they've accomplished, and I'm just proud of all of them. 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 4: It's a team sport. It's not perfect. 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 9: And those guys showed up every day and you know, 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 9: in battle and they were company men. 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 4: And that's what you want. 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 6: Man. 25 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 9: You want and you want guys that you know do 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 9: right by Purdue and not just in a basketball since. 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 10: You want to leave a place better than when you 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 10: got there. 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 4: So I feel like. 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 10: We won a lot of games, learned a lot of lessons, 31 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 10: and then overcame a lot and a lot of people 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 10: doubted us. But I think we stuck together kind of 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 10: confidence in one another and ultimately confidence in ourselves. 34 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: It's the end of the road for that group of 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: produced super seniors as they lose to Arizona over the weekend. 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: Good morning everyone, Jeff Rickard and the Man Kevin Bowen 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: back from his little mini spring break, and we got 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: James Boyd on the road at the NFL meetings this week. 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: And Mark Dyke is back from yet What is your 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: third vacation of the twenty twenty sixth calendar soon to 41 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 3: be fifth? All right, I don't know I like that, 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: but it's good to get it back this morning. And 43 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: March madness never at whatever level, whether it was the 44 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: high school stuff on Saturday night, whether it was what 45 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: happened with Braylan Mullens yesterday as Connecticut upset Duke. March 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 3: Madness delivers, doesn't it In terms of drama, suspense, unforeseen circumstance. 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 11: I have a feeling Marked acting at some point we'll 48 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 11: hear of Braylan Mullens game winner. You know, it just might. 49 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 11: I was trying to think of, like, what could all 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 11: of a sudden be with Purdue in the intro on 51 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 11: the drive in, Like I thought there was a chance 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 11: Mark actually might put the Braylen Mullens shot in the 53 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 11: intro because it is such an iconic March moment. And 54 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 11: then of course to localize it all it's the mister basketball, 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 11: It's the Indiana kid. And how many kids in Hancott 56 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 11: County or frankly wherever this afternoon, once I get out 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 11: of school will be mimicking that shot. 58 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 12: That's what I thought of. 59 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 11: But you know, obviously, from a produce standpoint, the over 60 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 11: at the whelming theme or feeling probably in the immediate 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 11: aftermath of what happens Saturday is will it ever happened? 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: You know? 63 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 11: I still think that's the previllain thought. And Saturday was 64 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 11: a tease. You know, for thirty minutes or for twenty minutes, 65 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 11: you are thinking of yourself, oh boy, is this really 66 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 11: gonna happen and then just an absolute championship haymaker from Arizona. 67 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 11: And I guess again on Monday, it's like, you know, 68 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 11: how do you kind of look back on the legacy 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 11: of that senior class. 70 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: Well, that senior class was tremendous. They posted more wins 71 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: than any other class, more tournament certainly NCAA tournament wins 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: I'm talking about right now. But when it came down 73 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: to it, Arizona in that second half just looked like 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: a better, superior team. I thought Purdue played great in 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: the first half. They kept it going. I managed, believe 76 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: it or not, You're gonna love this, Kevin. I actually 77 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: managed to not know anything other than it was a 78 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: close game at one point perdue Arizona. While I was 79 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: calling the game and for a Saturday night, I had 80 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: my wife tape the game and she and I were 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: able to watch it together when I got home at 82 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: like midnight, so I can go to bed till like 83 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: two o'clock in the morning. I got it some imprison No. 84 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: I knew that at one point it was a one 85 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: point game. Someone had said into my headset I think 86 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: I think maybe it might have been Pete Smith that 87 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: had found something. I said, Pete, don't give me the updates. 88 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: Let's just keep this thing rolling. So I managed to 89 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: pull that off. 90 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 11: I thought of Crown Point kept that holding the ball. 91 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 11: You could do you could watch both, you could watch 92 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 11: Purdue Arizona. 93 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: That was a crazy, crazy segment of Look. Crownpoint had 94 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: a ten point lead at half over Mount Vernon. They 95 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: come out in the second half and they start chucking 96 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: up wild threes in the first minute and fifteen seconds 97 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: and they go zero for five from three point range 98 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: and Mount Vernon uses that to make a couple of 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: threes and a basket, and in the first minute fifteen 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: they go from being down ten to down two. And 101 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 3: I thought at first Coach Swan from Crown Point was like, 102 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna teach my kids a lesson. 103 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 3: Don't come down here and just jack up a shot. 104 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: You're gonna run four corners for about a min minute 105 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: and a half and that's that. And we thought, okay, 106 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: they did that. They did that for a possession. It 107 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: turns out later on though, and that was initially why 108 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 3: he did it, But he also had only played like 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: five if you look that up and down his roster. 110 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 3: He didn't want to play a lot of guys, and 111 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: so the guys he had on there were the guys 112 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: he wanted to keep on the floor, so he just 113 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: gave them basically an on the court rest for about 114 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: another sixty seconds on the second possession, and at one point, 115 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: one of the kids that was handling the ball, Daryl 116 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: was his last name for Crown Point. You could see 117 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: him just roll his eyes, like, really, we're going to 118 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: do this, and they did, and Crown Point is up 119 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: coming back from a ten point deficit and win in 120 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: the Class four A state championship. And yes, Sluke Girtle 121 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: was fantastic. He had twenty six points and he was unbelievable. 122 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: Max Weiss was good. But how about Brady Weber who 123 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: gets the Mental Toughness Mental Attitude Award for the Year 124 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: In Class four A kid hadn't shot free throws all 125 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: night long, hadn't been a huge part of the offense 126 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: other than making sure the ball got to it. Needed 127 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 3: to go back to Luke yourtle and he steps up 128 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: with the game of line hits three or four free 129 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: throws down the stretch to help him win it. 130 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, big time. Yeah, So Local Flavor three a Cathedral 131 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 11: four A Mount Vernon, and then the two A game 132 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 11: was terrific there. I thought that game winner was gonna 133 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 11: go in there for Westview in that one. But yeah, 134 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 11: I mean as far as Saturday Night is concerned, I 135 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 11: just thought I thought the first half was a little fluky, 136 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 11: to be honest with you. You know, Daniel jacobsoner thought 137 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 11: gave them quality minutes. You know, when you look at 138 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 11: when Purdue really made that run, it was with their 139 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 11: bench and you know, brainswith was actually on the bench. 140 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 11: You know, when that run occurred, you know you kind 141 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 11: of sit there halftime to yourself, Okay, you know, to 142 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 11: really replicate the first twenty minutes, Trey Kaufman w Ren 143 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 11: cannot be sitting on the bench like that. You're gonna 144 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 11: need more from a Fletcher lawyer or just in general 145 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 11: some of your frontline guys. 146 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 12: And when Kaufman Wren picked up that third foul, like 147 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 12: the first. 148 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 11: Sequence or the second sequence there of the second half, 149 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 11: just a you know, I thought he had a good 150 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 11: look to try and hit a shot there, and then 151 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 11: I think, out of frustration, really he commits that third foul. 152 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 11: I think that was just kind of the early like, 153 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 11: oh boy, here he goes back to the bench and 154 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 11: here comes Jacobson back on the floor. It's like, you 155 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 11: can you can do that maybe one time for five 156 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 11: and ten minutes in the first half, you tried doing 157 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 11: it again. You're playing with fire, and next thing you know, 158 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 11: you know, Arizona was just absolutely dominant. So yeah, just 159 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 11: a sour end to what was an incredible run. You 160 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 11: know for those seniors. They accomplished so so much, but 161 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 11: the looming question of if it'll ever happen in West 162 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 11: Lafayette is once again alive, and well. 163 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: Well they just I know this. You keep knocking on 164 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: the door. At some point, maybe you get a break 165 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: here and there, a basket here and there, and produce. 166 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: Certainly coming back with guys. They're gonna lose that core three, obviously, 167 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: but Luke Rdle joins him mister Basketball. Well, Gatorade Player 168 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: of the Year. He's not been named officially mister Basketball yet, 169 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: but he's the Gatorade Player of the Year named this 170 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: past Friday. They get him, they get a couple of 171 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: guys that started to get some minutes, and they'll be 172 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: I think they're fairly optimistic about how things look next year. 173 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: But we'll have to wait and see. Pacers. They just 174 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: keep winning now, Kevin, we can't stop. I'm winning. They 175 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 3: won last night, they won yesterday in the afternoon against 176 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: the Miami Heat. So I'll take that. And they're still 177 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: set up the worst record in the NBA. But I 178 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: was also thinking about this on the drive in this morning. 179 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, they still have a 180 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: forty eight percent chance of not being able to get 181 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: one of those top four picks, and you pointed that 182 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: out several times. It's just slightly better. It's about this. 183 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: If you play I will tell you this, if you 184 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: played just standard by the rules blackjack in Las Vegas, 185 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: you have about a fifty one a forty eight to 186 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: fifty one percent chance depending on how you play things, 187 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: of winning hands over time, winning money over time. It's 188 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: kind of like with the Pacers. You better hope that 189 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: they get the right cards that get pulled up from 190 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: that shoe, because it's still a forty eight percent chance 191 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 3: no matter what they do, that they don't get one 192 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 3: of those top four picks. 193 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 11: And I never seem to get those blackjack outs, So 194 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 11: that is also one where you know, maybe I'm getting 195 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 11: some weighted ping pong balls here when I'm sitting at 196 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 11: the table, like a lot of Pacers fans think will 197 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 11: be there a month and a half. Yeah, they're first 198 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 11: went at home in two months, which is kind of 199 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 11: crazy to think about it. But yeah, they are still 200 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 11: in a very nice position to get the best odds, 201 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 11: but as you just pointed out, the best odds is 202 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 11: still it's not guarantee much. And boy, you want to 203 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 11: talk about a crazy Pacer weekend, how about that finish 204 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 11: on Friday night. I had to watch that finish about 205 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 11: five different times to fully process what exactly happened there 206 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 11: in the final point four seconds. It's one of the 207 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 11: craziest things I've seen in basketball period, with you know, 208 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 11: Jay huff miss and the free throws, and Andrew Dumbart 209 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 11: throws it in from out of bounds and all of 210 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 11: it was just nuts there. 211 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 12: So PACER's got two weeks left in the regular season. 212 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 11: You know, for the most part, they're not locked into 213 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 11: the top three worst record, which is what you want, 214 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 11: but they're all but locked in even with Plinny yesterday. 215 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 3: And to your point, just to clarify further, for those 216 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: who might have missed it, maybe they were maybe they 217 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: were Mark dyked and maybe they were still on spring break. 218 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: Jay Hooff had a pair of free throws to essentially 219 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: win the game with pretty much no time remaining on 220 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: the clock, and he missed them both. 221 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was just absolutely absolutely crazy. 222 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: There, Mark is back from spring break? How'd it go? 223 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: Everything was okay? I saw at one point you were 224 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: just posting a bunch of pictures of beer cans and 225 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: stuff like that. Yeah, vacation. 226 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 13: I had the Tokyo Dome ice cream sandwich phenomenal XA 227 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 13: picture of the exceptional the Japanese do it right? Oh 228 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 13: my god? That you it looks it looks marvelous. Then 229 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 13: you bite it into it like. 230 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 3: This is this is he? Where do you get it? 231 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 13: It was at the Japan Store in Epcot, So you 232 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 13: got to go to the Japan area and they had 233 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 13: it in the back and I had heard that they 234 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 13: had it and I looked, I'm like okay.

Each have 236 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 13: like a chocolate or white wire white fudge vanilla coating inside. 237 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 12: Delicious except of course meal. Mark, Oh my god, so good. 238 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: So no vacation type stories on the way there or 239 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: back in the family. Try no one puked. 240 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 13: That's always a good sign because that could be a disaster. 241 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 13: But for the most part of the land drive, it 242 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 13: made it work. And yeah, had a good time. So 243 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 13: saw some family, went to the beach, saw some dolphins 244 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 13: which was cool. Saw some rays jumping out of the water. 245 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 4: Wow. 246 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 12: And then went to Disney for a little bit. So 247 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 12: that was a good time for you. 248 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: So you're refreshed and ready to go this right? 249 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: I go? 250 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: All right?

Yeah, 262 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 11: I waited a nice time. Well, I went to Gatlinburg. 263 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 11: You pretty quick trip. Honestly, I got home and plenty 264 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 11: of time last night. 265 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 12: To watch again. 266 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 11: I think what is one of the more iconic March 267 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 11: moments and you know, the fact that you know it 268 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 11: honestly kind of reminded me a little bit. Mark. 269 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 12: I had you play a few weeks back. 270 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 11: I think it was the day you were playing all 271 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 11: those you know, highlighted tournament final moment final shots for 272 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 11: re entries. I had you play the Kevin Harlan one 273 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 11: of Virginia and Furman from a couple of years ago, 274 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 11: and it kind of reminded me of that of a 275 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 11: team that is anticipating the foul, but they just don't 276 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 11: hold onto the basketball. 277 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 12: They tried to advance. 278 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 11: It, they tried to advance it, and then boom. Yesterday, 279 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 11: Yukon gets the tip and just the wherewithal by first 280 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 11: off Mullins to get it up to Alex Caraban. And 281 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 11: for those that don't know, I mean Yukon, I mean 282 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 11: Caraban is one of the more decorative players to ever 283 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 11: put on a uniform. Like I just assume when he 284 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 11: caught it from Mullins, he was just gonna shoot it. 285 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 11: I mean, you know, there would have been no I 286 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 11: don't think anybody would have been to to It's not 287 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 11: like Brylin Mullens is having some banner game from behind 288 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 11: the arc. There, and yet for him to then throw 289 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 11: it back to mullins Wan to play and then obviously 290 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 11: the freshman it's the shot of a lifetime there, and 291 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 11: to send his team here to Indianapolis. 292 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 12: Just all of it. 293 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 11: I know, Dan Hurley is about as unlikable as they come, 294 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 11: but what a shot by the indian a kid. 295 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: Wow, and that delivers yet another March moment. I was thinking, 296 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: you know, sports, give us sports, take it away, and 297 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: maybe it takes thirty five years or hover long it's been. 298 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: You had the Christian Laitner shot at the Old Spectrum 299 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 3: in Philadelphia to win a game, and then last night 300 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: you die by that sword. The other team pulls it 301 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: off at the very end. Kind of a miraculous play. 302 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 3: So you live, you live long enough, you watch enough games, 303 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: good things are gonna happen for your team. Bad things 304 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: canna happen to your team. 305 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 12: Damn boy. 306 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 11: Can you imagine Hayden Boozer. 307 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: Poor kid, But just everybody on that whole sequence, by 308 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: the way, White's John Shire who has timeouts there not 309 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 3: just call a time out and go, guys, here's what 310 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: we want to do. It's only ten seconds. They either 311 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: got a foulis or we're just not going to advance 312 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 3: the ball at all. 313 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 11: Yeah. 314 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 3: I go back and forth because I'm a big John 315 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: Shire fan. But even at the time, I'm not second guess, 316 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, it flashed through my brain. I'm like, Okay, 317 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: they're probably still going to be okay. And then just 318 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: like that, all that happened. 319 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 11: Counter as you concepts of their defense, I don't know. 320 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 11: I feel like we're very hard, but they have to 321 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 11: value by the way we're very quickly. I think a 322 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 11: blame coaches for everything. It's like, how about the guy 323 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 11: just hold onto the ball? 324 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 3: I say, Now, that's why I said it is collective effort. 325 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: There's there's a little bit you can you can point. 326 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: You can use all five fingers to point at people 327 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: on that one there. Anyway, we got to talk a 328 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: lot to talk about today.

As the final four steps into 344 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: the Circle City a little bit later on this week, 345 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 3: and we know who that final four is going to be. Michigan, Arizona, Yukon, Illinois, 346 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: Arizona upsetting and I wouldn't say upsetting, but defeating the 347 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: Purdue boiler Makers, upsetting the hopes of a lot of us, 348 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 3: I should say. As the Elite eight is where the 349 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: road to the Final Four stopped for Matt Painter and 350 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: his group of super seniors, the three of them Fletcher Lawyer, 351 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: Trey Kaufman, Wrenn Braden Smith. What amazing careers they had. 352 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: It was tough to see him go out in that 353 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 3: second half like that. 354 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, just an awful second half from Purdue there. 355 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 12: You know, they had played so well in the first 356 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 12: half particular. 357 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 11: I thought their bench was really really key in building 358 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 11: that lead. But you know, there's a reason many of us, 359 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 11: I think, pick Arizona to win it all, and that 360 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 11: was an absolute championship Haymaker, just so much size, so 361 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 11: much skill. I do think it is very fair to 362 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 11: look at the Purdue roster construction. The Matt Painter has 363 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 11: done such an extraordinary job of and I do think 364 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 11: they were missing a little bit in that six seven, 365 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 11: six eight range, you know, honestly, a little Miles Colvin 366 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 11: cam Heidi. I don't know or maybe believe that that 367 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 11: makes a difference necessarily, but I do think that was 368 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 11: an issue for them, and I think you saw it 369 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 11: a little bit on Saturday of you know, when Jack 370 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 11: Benter is trying to play big at the four. It 371 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 11: just was not gonna go well against Arizona whatsoever. So 372 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 11: as much as the local flavor takes a huge, huge 373 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 11: sting with that loss, boy, you want to talk about 374 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 11: four teams that have absolutely, you know, done their part 375 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 11: this year in college basketball on a variety of levels. 376 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 11: We just have two unbelievable matchups and honestly, Arizona Michigan, 377 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 11: I don't want to be too hyperbolic. It's probably one 378 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 11: of the games of the final four. Frankly, like go 379 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 11: back years, I can't recall the last time we've had 380 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 11: two teams this dominant throughout the season and the tournament 381 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 11: meeting here on Saturday night. That'll be the second Game 382 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 11: nine coming up on Saturday. 383 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: Let's check the bracket challenge that we started at the 384 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 3: very beginning of the NCAA tournament for all of us 385 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 3: here on the show and the people who listen. Over 386 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty people signed up. Guess who is 387 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: in first place as the week starts, and I think 388 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough to even pass him. Have you 389 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: checked that out? 390 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 11: I have not. Is it Mark Dyton? 391 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: If Mark Dyton is in first place with that shot 392 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 3: last night, I stand up and take a bow right now. 393 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 12: I had started so to see when the bad guys. 394 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 12: I don't know. 395 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 3: That's a good question. I don't know if you're eligible. 396 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 12: The listeners, Mark says that prize is mine. 397 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 13: Hey, it ain't cheap to go on spring break with 398 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 13: the Dyitons. I have plumbing issues. Still, it's a good question. 399 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 13: But he's in first place with that shot. He kindapulted 400 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 13: a couple of people. I had been hanging around the 401 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 13: top ten, nine, ten, twelve. 402 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: Something like that, and I was set to move up 403 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: if Duke wins that and Mark you took it all 404 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 3: away with Braylon Mullens. But I was not unhappy to 405 00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 3: see Braylen Mullens at that. 406 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 13: I was telling Jeff we were at Sam's Club yesterday 407 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 13: doing a little like late late early evening shopping in Fishers, 408 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 13: and uh, that shot went down and I yelled out 409 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 13: loud in Sam's Club, I'm super security and come over 410 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 13: like sorry, okay. 411 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 11: Aisle twelve, they're unreally customer. 412 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 12: For all four final four picks in the final four, 413 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 12: thank you very much? 414 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 11: Were look at you?

I also have Arizona to win, so I'm 420 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 3: not passing you Mark at that point in time, I. 421 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 13: Don't think so now our player standings competition, I haven't 422 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 13: kept up.

Not nice? 459 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 11: Do you really mean that? 460 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 3: We've been doing the Notre Dame gig for like a 461 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 3: year now. Every time Notre Dame does something nice, I 462 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 3: either ignore it or move on, and you get mad 463 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: at me every time. 464 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 12: Gotcha?

In all 475 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: seriousness here, that was an unbelievable day, as it always is. 476 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: We talk about never failing to deliver Kevin Bowen. But 477 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: yesterday or Saturday, it feels like yesterday still because I 478 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 3: got home so late the other night. But four terrific games, 479 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 3: four amazing Mental Attitude Award winners, which was outstanding in 480 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: the four A game for the second year in a row, 481 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 3: did not disappoint. It comes down to a two point game, 482 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 3: is really a two possession game, but you had to 483 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: Ken bay Shaw hit a three pointer at the buzzer 484 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: to make it a two point game. But right before 485 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 3: that your Cathedral, your Cathedral team, they had a little 486 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 3: trouble with new Haven, but in the last three four 487 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 3: minutes they pulled that one away. 488 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, a shout out to new Haven. I thought they 489 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 11: played much better than I probably thought they would there. 490 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 11: So yeah, Cathedral had some Nervey moments there in the 491 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 11: second half. The keating Alders, Julian Smith outstanding again. That 492 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 11: two way game. That was probably the game of the 493 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 11: day when you looked at it. I know the four 494 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 11: game obviously it was great as well, but a two 495 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 11: a game, and I thought that game winner was going 496 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 11: to go in bounce on the rim a couple of 497 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 11: times there, so Triton or bar Reeve excuse me in 498 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 11: one A and then Park Heritage right in two way. 499 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 3: Mm hm it was bar Reeve, Park Heritage Cathedral and 500 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 3: Mount Vernon.

I was speaking 626 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: a little bit yesterday about the relationship between Daniel Jones 627 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 3: and Shane Stikeen and why she wanted to keep that 628 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 3: group together. I went back this year, what'd you take 629 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 3: out of that. 630 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, so it sounds like Chris baudochat today and I 631 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 11: want to say, Shane Steiken, I think it's the NFC 632 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 11: Coaches Talk this morning, AFC tomorrow morning. So a little 633 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 11: bit of an update from out there Arizona. Obviously three 634 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 11: I was behind us, So. 635 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 12: Thank you James Boyd for waking up early with us. 636 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 11: But yeah, you know, Carly says something the effective you know, 637 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 11: chemistry alignment between head coach and quarterback, you know, vitally important, 638 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 11: and that was the key, key reason why they were 639 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 11: so adamant of running you back, which again I think 640 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 11: all of that checks out and makes sense. You know, 641 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 11: she had some sort of quote in there about, you know, 642 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 11: felt like we press pause in the movie If You 643 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 11: Will Last You with Daniel Jones getting hurt, and you know, 644 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 11: I understand what she's going from on that. Unfortunately, I 645 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 11: think you also have to acknowledge with Daniel Jones, you know, 646 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 11: unfortunately the really common theme with his career has been 647 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 11: the movie never reaches its end, you know, based off 648 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 11: his injury history or based off his inconsistent play. So 649 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 11: I think that's where you know, people have some doubt, 650 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 11: some question of you know, if you ever see it 651 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 11: or you know, get it to the extent where you 652 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 11: can certainly call him your franchise quarterback at some point there. 653 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 11: I think that's probably the biggest, you know, question that 654 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 11: you would have in regards to Daniel Jones. 655 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 3: Anything else you're looking forward to hearing Chris Ballard say today, 656 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: or anything that you took as a little nugget from 657 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 3: from the owner yesterday speaking well, I think. 658 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 11: You know, and I'll just read James's quote here from 659 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 11: Carly was she was asked, you know, sounds like pretty 660 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 11: directly on if the team has improved from last year, 661 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 11: and Carly's quote was this. 662 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 12: She goes, I think we're off to a great start. 663 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 11: Obviously getting arden key and getting both Daniel and Alex 664 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 11: signed one of the things I'm so excited about. And 665 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 11: then she adds another thought here that was so heartbreaking 666 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 11: to me, as justin Wally and Hunter Wohler coming back. 667 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 11: This is just my layman's view that I think the 668 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 11: the path that we need is obviously d line. I 669 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 11: think it's a clear path as far as what are 670 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 11: the pieces that we need, and I feel like there's 671 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 11: a lot of great opportunities in the draft. I don't. 672 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 11: I'll be honest, I read that. I don't get very 673 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 11: warm and fuzzy if I'm a Colts fan. You know, 674 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 11: going back to the arden Key signing now several weeks ago, 675 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 11: at this point, I'll reiterate what I said when it happened. 676 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 11: He can be a fine a guy, he can't be 677 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 11: the guy at defensive end, and right now he is 678 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 11: the guy there. 679 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 12: You know, justin Wally and Hunter Woller, some optimism there 680 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 12: is totally fine. 681 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 11: But we're also talking about two rookies that have never 682 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 11: played a snap in the NFL and are coming off 683 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 11: a torn ACL and a Liz Frankentry. You know, this 684 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 11: is not you know, even Daniel Jones necessarily like Daniel 685 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 11: Jones has played in the NFL. He just played good 686 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 11: football for you last year. Wally and Wohler have literally 687 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 11: never taken a snap in the NFL. Now, as far 688 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 11: as our d line comment, I mean am out of that, 689 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 11: but it does sound like all the eggs are in 690 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 11: the draft when it comes to defensive line, and that 691 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 11: has not gone well for Chris Ballard. And you're at 692 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 11: a bit of a disadvantage too when you don't draft 693 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 11: until what is it forty seven overall there. 694 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 12: So that is one where I kind of hear that quote. 695 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 11: I'm like, oh boy, I don't you know that to 696 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 11: me is not necessarily a ringing endorsement of if you've 697 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 11: gotten better as a football team, and. 698 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 3: One of the other big things that'd be taking a 699 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: look at down there, aside from just cult centric stuff. 700 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 3: But how about this the league they are saying they 701 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 3: are quote alarmed by the state of negotiations with the 702 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 3: NFL Referees Association, and they have authorized staff members now 703 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: Kevin to begin searching for hiring and onboarding replacement officials 704 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: in the coming weeks. Is that just a shot across 705 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: the ball and a bow in contract talks there? Or 706 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 3: should we get used to guys who are not used 707 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: to refereeing NFL games being there for the first few 708 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 3: weeks of the season. 709 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 12: It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. 710 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 3: Mark, Can you run a game? 711 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 13: Epic disaster? Yeah, sure, I can get out there. I'll 712 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 13: just call holding on every play. That's definitely hold. Avoid 713 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 13: Bears games, Yeah, I know. 714 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 715 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 3: The NFL Referees Association Executive director Scott Green not commenting 716 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 3: at this point in time, but the NFL is already 717 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 3: starting the leaks. That's never good when they start the leaks. 718 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 3: Kevin Well, wasn't one of the. 719 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 11: Rule proposals something in there about like, you know, the 720 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 11: NFL can overrule a poor officiating call this year if 721 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 11: the replacement referees are needed for games. So basically, you 722 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 11: could have a game end on a Sunday and sounds 723 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,239 Speaker 11: like the league office, whether that be late Sunday night 724 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 11: or Monday, come back and say, nope, you know what, 725 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 11: that call should not have been made. The other team 726 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 11: wins the game. You imagine if we get that be. 727 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: Good for talk radio, not so good for fans. I 728 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 3: don't think. I mean, your team could benefit, but your 729 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 3: team could also get screwed too. 730 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 14: I don't know. 731 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 3: Maybe what do you say, though, if they make the 732 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 3: ultimately they overturn it to the right call, it's chaos, 733 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: what is it? 734 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 4: Right? 735 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 12: Yeah? 736 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 11: I mean it's epic chaos. Yeah, I mean, I guess, yeah, 737 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 11: at the end of the day, it is right. But 738 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 11: oh boy, not a good look on the league whatsoever, 739 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 11: especially you know, when you're dealing with all the gambling 740 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 11: that you do and fantasy football and all of it. 741 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 3: According to sources. The NFL is offering the association a 742 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: six year deal that averages annual raises of over six 743 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: percent the average NFL official. What do you think the 744 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: average NFL official earned last year? 745 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 6: Mark? 746 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 3: Dicton what's your guess? 747 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 12: Annually? 748 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: Boy? 749 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 12: Average on this average NFL official? One hundred and twenty thousand, Kevin, 750 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 12: do you know this one? I'm thought here, hell, I 751 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 12: would have guessed something similar to what Mark. 752 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: Three hundred and eighty five thousand dollars. 753 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 11: Really, Wow for six months of work, that's some damn 754 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 11: good money. 755 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 12: I'm submitting my resume right now. 756 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 757 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 3: The league is also pushing the Referees Association to allow 758 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 3: several fundamental changes to officials job structure, which the player 759 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 3: the referee Association is largely resisting. So we'll see how 760 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 3: this all plays out, but it could get a little interesting, 761 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 3: a little spicy for you at the beginning of the year. 762 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 11: How do you feel if you're a perdue fan today 763 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 11: gout it. 764 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 3: I think you had high expectations, and especially the way 765 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 3: that first halfened, and you thought, you know what, they 766 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 3: got a real chance of coming back home to Indy 767 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 3: this week, and then it just in the course of 768 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 3: about five minutes started to slip away. 769 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 11: Will it ever happened for him? 770 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 3: I'm not going to say. Matt Painter is a really 771 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 3: good coach who knows how to recruit the right type 772 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 3: of guys for his system and what he wants to do. 773 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 3: The challenge remains can continue. Can he do that consistently 774 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 3: in today's world? Hopefully he can. But I think I 775 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 3: still think he's one of the top ten twelve coaches 776 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 3: in college of basketball. So I think gives you if 777 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 3: they spend the money up there and you got a 778 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 3: top top coach, I think there's a good chance that 779 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 3: they'll stay right where they're at and maybe they come 780 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 3: up with the right combination in the next few years. 781 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 11: Here, Man, that was just an absolute haymaker that was 782 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 11: thrown on them there in the second half. 783 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 3: Just a buzzsaw. 784 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 12: Ah just I mean, you blinked. It looks like a 785 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 12: different team. 786 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 11: It was over, you know, And I thought the first 787 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 11: half there were some flukey elements. It's like, okay, you know, 788 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 11: is the bench you know, honestly they built the lead 789 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 11: with kind of Braden Smith on the bench. 790 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 12: It's like, all right, you know, you can. 791 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 11: Maybe get away with that one half you're not getting 792 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 11: away with that the second half. And I thought when 793 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 11: Tray Coffman wren that sequence the right to start the 794 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 11: second half, when he missed, you know, one of his 795 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 11: typical shots that he usually makes, and then he picks 796 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 11: up that third foul out of frustration, he's got to 797 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 11: go to the bench. Jacobsen comes back onto the floor. 798 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 11: It's like, all right, it worked for a five ten 799 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 11: minute stretch in the first half. You're trying to replicate 800 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 11: that again in the second half. Is just playing with 801 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 11: absolute fire and then Arizona just bam, bam, bam, just 802 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 11: an absolute championship twenty minute effort from them. So yeah, 803 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 11: I mean, I think Purdue fans, you probably do have 804 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 11: the raw motion of you know, is that was this 805 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 11: the best makeup of the team now? You know, you know, 806 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 11: optimistic produ fans would counter and say, well, you know, 807 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 11: if you look at the last whatever six years, you've 808 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 11: made the Elite Eight with really three different. 809 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 12: Types of teams. 810 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 11: You know, when you look at this year's team with 811 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 11: obviously the main coreby and those seniors, you look at 812 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 11: the team that got to the National title game largely 813 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 11: around Zach Edy, and then you go back to the 814 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 11: Carson Edwards Ryan Klein team. 815 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 12: You know that was a very different team. 816 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 11: You know, no Jel Eastern and Grady Eiffert and was 817 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 11: Matt Harms in the starting lineup? 818 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 3: I mean that's Harms, yeah, big guy. 819 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 11: I mean that's a really really different looking team than 820 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 11: you know what you had here over the last two years. 821 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 11: And obviously, you know, we'll see how the rest of 822 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 11: the week plays out, but you could make the case 823 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 11: that all three of those teams lost the eventual national 824 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 11: champion as well there. 825 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 12: But still I think it's things. 826 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 11: And you know, you're gonna have the You're gonna have 827 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 11: the IU fan making sure they they find the cubicle. 828 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 11: As dusty as the banners might be, they're gonna be 829 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 11: finding you on this Monday morning. 830 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 3: So we'll keep an eye on how that develops. But 831 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 3: you know what, here's the thing. You know pretty much 832 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 3: who you're bringing in for the most part. Next year. 833 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 3: You're gonna have guys like Daniel Jacobson. I know that 834 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 3: there was a lot in the Eddy Star from a 835 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 3: few people about what his future is. He can certainly 836 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 3: be a shot blocker. He's going to need to grow 837 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 3: a little between now and next year, though, if they're 838 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 3: gonna be able to rely on him for serious minutes. 839 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 11: In a game, well before I even get to I mean, 840 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 11: the biggest news item is whether Oscar Kloff gets a. 841 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 12: Six year or not. 842 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 3: We wait to see on that. 843 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 11: That's the biggest thing, because if not, you have to 844 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 11: I think portal it for a big guy. I mean, 845 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 11: I know you're bringing it out Pierce's little brother. I 846 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 11: do think he'll be a really nice player, but still 847 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 11: I'm not trusting Jacobson to be my starting center at 848 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 11: a you know, very very high level. I know development 849 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 11: has been great for that program, but I'm not ready 850 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 11: to give the keys to him in that realm. So 851 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 11: I think that is a that's the big domino. You know, 852 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 11: guard wise, you'll have a lot of options to turn to. Obviously, 853 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 11: you'll have to project guys in a much bigger roles. 854 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 11: I know a lot of people are high on their 855 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 11: red shirtfreshion and Swan West scoring guard out of Ohio. 856 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 11: You know he will crack the line U they're bringing 857 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 11: in obviously a really you know, decorated freshman class, not 858 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 11: just Luke Urdle. Jacob Weber out of Lumier is one 859 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 11: of the more highly ranked recruits out there, But I 860 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 11: mean you are replacing just I mean, one of the 861 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 11: most decorated classes we've seen in college basketball history. And 862 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 11: it'll take some time, but you know, I'm sure we'll 863 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 11: eventually look back on it and it's going to be 864 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 11: obviously overwhelming. 865 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 12: Great thoughts from what that senior class did. 866 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 11: And you know, in our market, we have some of this, 867 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 11: we have a little bit of you know, if you 868 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 11: want to individualize it, like Reggie Miller unbelievable career, missing 869 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 11: the cherry on top. You know, there are a lot 870 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 11: of people that look at the Peyton manning there and say, 871 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 11: should have won more. You know, he obviously won to one, 872 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 11: but people kind of view that era a little bit 873 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 11: differently here. But yeah, just a hat tip to those 874 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 11: seniors because both wins and Purdue history and the tenancy 875 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 11: a tournament wins. Yeah, the Big Ten. I mean, they 876 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 11: won the Big Ten Tournament in a year where we 877 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 11: see what two teams out of the Big Ten here 878 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 11: in the final four as well. So it's probably hard 879 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 11: to fully go there on this Monday morning, but I 880 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 11: think eventually we will get there. 881 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,959 Speaker 3: It was I thought where they were in the middle 882 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 3: of February to what they finally put together. I thought 883 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 3: they got to about where they were going to be 884 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 3: this year when you look at some of the other teams. 885 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 3: Obviously Duke they fell apart in the second half credit 886 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 3: Yukon yesterday, but that was either one of those teams 887 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 3: is going to be a really tough out. And Michigan 888 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, now they've tied a tournament record 889 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 3: with three straight games in the tournament of scoring more 890 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 3: than ninety points. They are rolling right now, Okay, rolling? 891 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 11: Yeah. I saw some stat where it's the most points 892 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 11: a team has scored going in the Final four since 893 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 11: Kentucky and ninety three. 894 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 3: I think it is so yeah. 895 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 11: I mean Saturday nights Arizona Michigan. I mean, it's one 896 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 11: of the best Final four games we've had ever. I 897 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 11: really don't think that's hyperbably at all to view what 898 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 11: we're going to And then you know, again, what a 899 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 11: moment by Braylon Mullens. 900 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 12: I mean, just that shot. It's just, you know, it's 901 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 12: not like he. 902 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 11: Was shooting the ball great really in the Big East 903 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 11: Tournament of the NCAA Tournament, and to step into that 904 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 11: and bury it. It's gonna be uh, you know, kids 905 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 11: in the driveways all around Hancock County, all around Central Indiana, 906 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 11: all around the state today, they're gonna mimic it. They're 907 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 11: gonna do the three two one, And boy, he just 908 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 11: ripped those nuts. 909 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 12: I mean, it just was so pure. 910 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 11: And I don't know how you guys felt when he 911 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 11: shot it, but it just seemed like as soon as 912 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 11: that ball got tipped in the air, I had an 913 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 11: audible oh my gosh, like I think we are about 914 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 11: to see something here, and great play by Alex Caravan. 915 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 11: You know, he easily could have just chucked it up there, 916 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 11: you know, and he goes back to Braylon Mullens and 917 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 11: Braylan said he said to himself, you know, because Braylan 918 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 11: initially passed it to him. He was like, I'm not 919 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 11: the one that's been making a bunch of shots and 920 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 11: Caravan had just made one, you know, earlier there. But yeah, 921 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 11: I mean, that is one of the most iconic March 922 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 11: moments that we've had. I think that's one that'll be 923 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 11: played on One Shining Moment reels for years to come. 924 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 14: It was. 925 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 3: Both of us got up off the couch, like my 926 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 3: wife and I were watching it, and she was just like, 927 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 3: because she loves moments like that, she loves the NCAA tournament, 928 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 3: she loves the National Football League, and she had an 929 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 3: audible I wouldn't call it a scream, but just like, Ah, 930 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 3: it was an amazing shot. I mean it was pure too. 931 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 3: That looked from behind that ball was going nothing but 932 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 3: net from the second it left his fingertips. 933 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 11: Mark, give us some of that audio before the show's over. 934 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 11: It's coming up the top of the hour and game 935 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 11: winner there. We also Rafferty was excellent on that. 936 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 12: Do you guys. 937 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 11: I don't know if you guys saw the camera shot 938 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 11: of him and Grant Hill reacting to it there with 939 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 11: Iron Eagle, but. 940 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 12: That was that was pretty cool to watch. 941 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 3: It was cool to watch. And we've got the We've 942 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 3: got the Duke radio call for that one too. You're 943 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 3: not gonna want to miss that. 944 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 12: I wanted coming up, they wanted a technical foul called right. 945 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 12: Yes it did on Yukon. 946 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 4: Yes. 947 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 12: It was one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard. 948 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 3: Because somebody had left the bench to celebrate, so they 949 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 3: wanted a technical foul called. Can you imagine if they 950 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 3: had called the technical foul in that moment. What we'd 951 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 3: be talking about today. 952 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 12: Gosh, Dan Hurley's ego? 953 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 11: Is there anything bigger? Is there anybody that's more swag? 954 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 11: The way he struts down the sideline, one sleeve off 955 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 11: on the six jacket. 956 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 3: It's his third Final Four in just the last few years. Man, 957 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 3: it's crazy. 958 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 11: You can hate him a lot, but hard to argue 959 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 11: there's a better coach and all college basketball, hell maybe 960 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 11: all of basketball than him. 961 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 3: Right now, all right, we got a lot to do today. 962 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 3: We have James Boyd joining us from those owners meetings. 963 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 3: We got to get him out of there. You think 964 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 3: he's waking up already. I think there's a reason Mark 965 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 3: he said, no, do it in the nine o'clock hour, Right. 966 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 11: It's four fifty one out there? 967 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 3: Is that do it for the show? Let's go? 968 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 13: Probably as a back massage scheduled. There's something in one 969 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 13: of those Ritzy hotels he's staying in. 970 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 12: It's playing pickup. 971 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 11: Family's out there, Manny Petty start the morning. 972 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 3: You think he's staying at the ritz out there in Phoenix. 973 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 13: Just climbed camel back last year? What he almost ran 974 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 13: into Serena Williams. So who's he running into this morning 975 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 13: in brunch. 976 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 3: That's a good question. We'll talk to him a little 977 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 3: bit later on and Rob Blackman can give us more 978 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 3: maybe perspective from the inside of what's going on with 979 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 3: Matt Painter and Purdue as they get they got to 980 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 3: the Elite eight and again back in the middle of February, 981 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 3: did you even think they'd get out of the first 982 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 3: two rounds the way things were going there for a while. 983 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 11: No, but you know, I'm kind of torn on like 984 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 11: does that justify the season? You know, at the start 985 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 11: of the year, your preseason ranked number one, you obviously 986 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 11: want and you know, again, part of this is a 987 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 11: victim of the incredible success that they've created for themselves. 988 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 11: If you said to purduean in November, hey, you're only 989 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 11: going to get to the Elite eight, they'd go you know, 990 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 11: and then you know, if you was said in February, 991 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 11: you know, maybe your expectations would have been a little 992 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,760 Speaker 11: bit different with how they were playing at that point 993 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 11: of the year. 994 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 12: Ron Nora at eight thirty is at right. 995 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 11: Mark Butler head coach, correct. 996 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 3: Anything. Did you get a chance to hear any of 997 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 3: his comments last week? 998 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 4: Yeah? 999 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 11: I thought Grant Line Decker made sure to go above 1000 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 11: and beyond and describe that that Butler search did not 1001 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 11: just include those in the family there. It almost seemed 1002 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 11: like he was speaking straight to Greg Doyle in the 1003 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 11: start of that press conference there.

There you go, Mark, 1096 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 3: a little bit of the Duke broadcast right there should 1097 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 3: have been a technical. Malkaik Smith is on the floor. 1098 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 3: Let's turn the whole thing over. The grassman gross straws 1099 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:07,280 Speaker 3: at that point in time. My goodness, Brayln Mullins, mister 1100 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 3: basketball Indiana coming through. It's to say in the clutch 1101 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 3: is obviously an understatement, but you look at that one 1102 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,959 Speaker 3: from several of the replays, and I love that shot 1103 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 3: from right behind him. That thing was going in from 1104 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,760 Speaker 3: the moment it left his fingertips. Man, it was pure 1105 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 3: and online. 1106 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 11: I don't think there's anything more loser mentality than screaming 1107 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 11: for a technical in that situation. I think that's peak 1108 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 11: loser mentality. That makes a lot sweeter that that was 1109 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 11: against due to love it. 1110 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 3: I love that. 1111 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 11: I love that. That's the Duke call. Thank you Mark 1112 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 11: Dyke for that. What a shot, what a moment, incredible 1113 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 11: you know, I think, to us in our little bubble, 1114 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 11: we're not too surprised at Brayln Mullens. You know, it 1115 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 11: can hit a shot of that capacity, but still, uh, 1116 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 11: you know, it's not like he was shooting a great 1117 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 11: really in the Big East tournament, in the NCAA tournament. 1118 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 11: But you know, as soon as that deflection happened, I 1119 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 11: brought it up to you guys earlier. It kind of 1120 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 11: brought back some memories a few years ago when Virginia 1121 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 11: blew their game to Furman. 1122 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 12: Very similar. 1123 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 11: You know, they're they're trying to kind of run out 1124 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 11: the clock, they're anticipating the foul, they try to advance 1125 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 11: it up full court, and next thing you know, there's 1126 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 11: a deflection, there's an airon pass. I actually think the 1127 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 11: Virginia one they just threw it away and then you 1128 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 11: get into those chaotic moments like that and you're kind 1129 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 11: of scrambling, and you know, if you watch it, I 1130 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,919 Speaker 11: forget which one it was. I think it was sor 1131 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 11: maybe it was in front of Braylan Mullens. There he's 1132 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 11: just kind of frozen, like it's almost like, oh, bleep, 1133 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 11: we just turned it over. I'm not going to compound this. 1134 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 11: I'm not gonna foul. I'm just gonna stand here and 1135 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 11: you have Braylan Mullens fire from the volleyball line. I 1136 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 11: think a lot of people can raise their hand and 1137 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 11: say we've seen him at a shot from thirty five 1138 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 11: feet before against us, But obviously that one far greater implications. 1139 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 11: So can only imagine what his last twenty four hours 1140 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,320 Speaker 11: have been like. Luke Meredith, Greenfield Central head coach with 1141 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 11: Braylan Mullens there, he's gonna join the show coming up 1142 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 11: tomorrow to talk more about him. 1143 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 3: Excited about that a lot fun. Actually, I'll be off 1144 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 3: the show tomorrow. I'll be doing John Show tomorrow, so 1145 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,919 Speaker 3: it'll be you and Mark and Caleb and a few 1146 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 3: minutes joined by James down in Phoenix. 1147 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 4: So there you go. 1148 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 3: We got that going on tomorrow.

And I don't know, there's still it's amazing 1161 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 3: we've been talking about these defensive ends. It seems like 1162 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 3: forever and ever and ever, Kevin and not to be 1163 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 3: labor the point, but if you wanted to go that way, 1164 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 3: and I think they might have buy now there are 1165 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 3: guys out there that are in their thirties that have 1166 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 3: had some success at that position. But is that really 1167 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 3: where you want to go with the team at this 1168 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 3: point in time. 1169 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 12: Well, it doesn't sound like it. 1170 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 6: You know. 1171 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 11: Again, James will join us here in about an hour. 1172 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,240 Speaker 11: But you know, based off what carli Er say Gordon 1173 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 11: said yesterday, it sounded like the eggs are in the 1174 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,240 Speaker 11: draft basket there, which you know, again, you can't stop 1175 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 11: swinging at defensive end of the draft. Just because you've 1176 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 11: missed routinely doesn't mean you stop swinging. The position means 1177 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 11: too much. But having said that, banking on whatever the 1178 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 11: forty seventh overall pick, banking on the seventy something overall 1179 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 11: pick to come in here and be you know, instant impact. 1180 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 12: Well, that's a lot. That's a lot to ask for, 1181 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 12: and they are. 1182 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 11: There is no I think you could make an argument 1183 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 11: outside of Daniel Jones, there's no more important cult next 1184 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 11: to the year than Laotu lot too. I think that's 1185 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 11: what a lot of this offseason has said. I get 1186 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 11: you can make a case for Alec Pierce. You could 1187 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 11: probably make a case for Sauce Gardner, Jonathan Taylor. You know, 1188 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,320 Speaker 11: of course, given the offense means a whole lot, but 1189 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,279 Speaker 11: just how much pressure with the Forest Buckner getting up 1190 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 11: there in age, I don't think there's a cult that 1191 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 11: means more to this football team, and you really need 1192 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 11: a third year jump than Llow to Lats. 1193 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,879 Speaker 3: Let's let's look at this optimistically. What's the best case 1194 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 3: scenario that you can realistically see for a lat too 1195 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 3: right now? Everything goes well and perfectly for him, What 1196 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 3: can you see happening based on what we know about 1197 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:21,399 Speaker 3: him right now? 1198 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 11: Well, I mean last year he had what eight and 1199 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 11: a half sacks something like that, So you know, if 1200 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 11: you want to believe in you know, continual jump for 1201 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 11: young rushers, then you know, double digit season is possible. 1202 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 11: I think we're as some questions would be. Again, if 1203 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 11: Buckner has continued to be limited missing time, not the 1204 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,360 Speaker 11: Buckner were used to. Does some of the attention that 1205 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 11: inevitably has gone to diforce Buckan over the years? Does 1206 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,279 Speaker 11: that now slide outside? You know, Law two probably got 1207 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,720 Speaker 11: a lot of single teams really his first year, especially 1208 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 11: maybe even a little bit of second year. Does he 1209 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 11: now get more of that? You know, if you're an 1210 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 11: offensive coordinator, you know, trying to block the Colts on 1211 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 11: a Tuesday night, getting ready to prep for them that week. Hey, 1212 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 11: you know ninety nine doesn't maybe need as much of 1213 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 11: it anymore. Do we slide that out to a lot too? 1214 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 11: And I do think, just individually, just a little bit 1215 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 11: more pressure kind of early in place. I think that's 1216 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,400 Speaker 11: really critical from him. So I still have hope for 1217 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 11: a lot to lots too. I want to be clear 1218 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 11: on that, but I just think they're putting a lot 1219 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 11: a lot of pressure on his plate. 1220 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you take a look at what they're 1221 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:31,320 Speaker 3: rolling out right now. J. T. Tumola is there, Grover Stewart, 1222 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 3: the Forrest Buckner coming off the injury there and then 1223 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,399 Speaker 3: a lot too. That's your starting front line. And their 1224 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 3: depth is where they've gone this offseason with guys like 1225 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 3: they made the trade with Arden to get Arden Key, 1226 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 3: Michael Clemens, Colby Wooden, nice rotational players. I think they'll 1227 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 3: be fine. But have you made enough of an impact 1228 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 3: play in play out up front? Is really the question? 1229 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 11: Well, and again you know, James, I'm sure we'll share 1230 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 11: with us. They'll chaut with Chris Baward later today. The 1231 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 11: question that I would have is was it Trey Hendrickson 1232 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 11: or bust? Feels like it, doesn't it, because that's how 1233 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,360 Speaker 11: it's played out so far. You know, they made, by 1234 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 11: all accounts, a pretty significant offer to Trey Hendrickson. Once 1235 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 11: that fell through, they were gonna say, all right, well, rather, 1236 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 11: you know, play kind of the numbers game and you know, 1237 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,840 Speaker 11: trying to find depth or impact I guess in quantity, 1238 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,879 Speaker 11: and it's just a dangerous game manufacturing a pass rush. 1239 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 11: You know, I hear that phrase and honestly gives me 1240 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 11: the he b gbs. 1241 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 3: What do you make of the signing of Nick Westbrook Akine, 1242 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 3: He's a bigger He's a bigger wide receiver, I mean 1243 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,920 Speaker 3: six two, two eleven. How well can he That's not 1244 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 3: even the right question. Michael Pittman's gone right now. That 1245 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 3: would be the perceived guy that they'd throw into that 1246 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:44,759 Speaker 3: that role. 1247 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think that'll be more of a replacement 1248 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 11: in in numbers. Like you know, if you're gonna tell 1249 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 11: me you're gonna manufacture the loss of Michael Pittman Junior 1250 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 11: a manufacturer pass rush, I'd feel much better about you 1251 00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 11: trying to manufacture the loss of Michael Pittman Jr. Yeah, 1252 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 11: I think you can throw a little bit more on 1253 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,359 Speaker 11: the play to Tyler Morren. Obviously he expects them growth 1254 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,160 Speaker 11: at Alec Pierce. You know, Josh Downs can catch a 1255 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 11: few more balls. Westbrook a Keene can kind of be 1256 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 11: a poor poor man's Pittman. You know, they might draft 1257 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 11: a wide out in whatever round three or four. That 1258 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 11: to me seems a little bit more doable, feasible. You 1259 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 11: can scheme that up. 1260 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 12: I don't love it, but I understand it more than 1261 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 12: I understand you attempting to do that. 1262 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 3: Well, he's twenty nine years old and he has a 1263 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 3: career for of one hundred and thirty seven receptions at 1264 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 3: this point time. He's never been a guy that anybody's 1265 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 3: really leaned on. He's had moments, but he's not a 1266 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 3: guy that you lean on for a lot of production. 1267 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 11: Uh, divide up this fan pie chart for the final four? 1268 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 11: Who's bringing the most fans of these four teams? 1269 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 3: From an Indianapolis perspective, all you gotta do is look 1270 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 3: at Mark Dyton's bracket to see you with the four 1271 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 3: that are left. Right now, I'm saying, Michigan, do you 1272 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 3: think the fans here want Michigan to win? 1273 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 12: I don't know if they want them to win. I'm 1274 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:57,720 Speaker 12: saying they're bringing the most fans. 1275 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 3: Okay, I see, I see what you're saying. I thought 1276 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 3: you meant from our perspective. 1277 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 12: Are Yukon fans like Alabama football fans? They're just tired? 1278 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 12: They're Yeah, we spend so much money over the years. 1279 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 3: Call us when we tip off on Monday? 1280 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, more nightman to go. 1281 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 3: Maybe we'll show up Monday. 1282 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 12: What about Arizona? Are they are they going to travel? 1283 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 12: It's a lot of busy Southwest flights. 1284 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:17,560 Speaker 3: It's been a while. 1285 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 11: They might they had that place rocking on Saturday night. 1286 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,399 Speaker 11: It sounded like they're out in San Jose. 1287 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, which local establishments need to be worried about the 1288 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:25,840 Speaker 12: fan bases. 1289 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,439 Speaker 11: Well, I tell you what, if Iowa or Nebraska would 1290 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 11: have voted advanced. Could you imagine you would have been 1291 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 11: out of beer until May? With what those teams would 1292 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 11: have done. I saw, did you see the Illinois thing mark? Where? Like, 1293 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 11: I don't know how this worked. The champagne bars. My 1294 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 11: brother in law was showing me this, The champagne bars 1295 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 11: stop serving alcohol. I think it was like it an 1296 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 11: hour into the game or there were like restrictions on 1297 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,360 Speaker 11: a how much you could purchase. 1298 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 12: And I'm thinking, like, if you're a bar owner, how 1299 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 12: do you agree to that? 1300 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't want to make any more money. Stop 1301 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,280 Speaker 13: trying to give me money. I don't want anymore. 1302 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 11: Are you gonna hand me twenty thousand dollars? 1303 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 4: I know? 1304 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 3: How does that work? 1305 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 14: Like? 1306 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I would know 1307 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 3: To answer your question, though, I would think rough numbers. 1308 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 11: More fans for Illinois are more fans for Michigan. 1309 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 3: I would go I would probably go thirty five percent Illinois, 1310 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 3: twenty five percent Michigan twenty percent each for the other two. 1311 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, I just don't know. If you CON's gonna be 1312 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 12: that that high. 1313 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 13: I mean, I'm sticking to Michigan, but I could see 1314 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 13: Illinois being close because I'm just not proximity because we 1315 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 13: are max. 1316 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1317 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 11: No to the Illinois Michigan fans.

Or are Michigan fans showing 1321 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 11: up for the first game and channing let's go big ten? 1322 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 12: Probably not rob low hats everywhere, just big ten logos 1323 00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 12: on everybody. 1324 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 11: Now, the city of Greenfield, you know it'll be showing 1325 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 11: up there with Yukon colors on. It'll be like what 1326 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 11: that Wednesday night at Hankle earlier this year when Brayln 1327 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 11: Mollens was inside hinkle Field House. 1328 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 3: Who do you want to win at this point? Mark? Yeah, 1329 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 3: You've got Arizona winning, right, so you want them to win. 1330 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1331 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 13: I have Arizona winning and I have them beating Yukon. 1332 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 13: But I would be happy to see a Michigan or 1333 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 13: in Illinois. But I would also value my pocketbook and 1334 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,520 Speaker 13: I would like to see some money come my way. 1335 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 13: So I'm rooting for Arizona. You do have to big ten. 1336 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 3: You do have all four final four teams. It was impressive. 1337 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 3: Don't have to remind me. 1338 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 13: I was strutting like a peacock down the meat section 1339 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 13: of Sam's Club yesterday. 1340 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:39,919 Speaker 12: Ladies, can I help you? I'm like, no, you can't 1341 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 12: got all final fours. 1342 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 11: Not a lot of struttling around the meat section of 1343 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 11: Mark Decton's life. 1344 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 12: So I got to be a unique moment. Filet Mignon, 1345 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,919 Speaker 12: you might be on the table this week. We'll see 1346 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 12: how things play out. Congrats Mark, that is very impressive. 1347 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 12: I think I've said this earlier. 1348 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 11: The only thing I'm worse at than filling out a 1349 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 11: bracket is creating a see football team. 1350 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 12: I'm watching this Mullens. 1351 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 11: Where he played. I still think Caraban passing it back 1352 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 11: to him I think is such an underrate, under the 1353 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 11: radar part of the play, Like how many guys in 1354 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 11: that situation just jack one up? And again, for those 1355 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 11: that don't know, like Yukon basketball, Caraban is the guy 1356 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,240 Speaker 11: that's He's been on all these national title teams. 1357 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 12: He's been a key player. 1358 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 11: I mean, he's the one if you know you would 1359 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 11: have asked whatever Dan Hurley there late, He's probably thinking, yeah, 1360 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 11: it'd be totally fine if Caraban shoots some whatever thirty 1361 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 11: foot or he said after the game that you know 1362 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,800 Speaker 11: the fact that the older boozer, I think it was 1363 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 11: in front of Caraban there kind of gave him a 1364 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 11: little bit of pause and then I think it just 1365 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 11: worked out great. 1366 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 12: The fact that Mullins could kind of step into it and. 1367 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 3: He tipped the ball away, then he gathered it and 1368 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 3: stole it, and then he got it back. Did he 1369 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 3: also tip it? So I thought it was the other 1370 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 3: guy that that well there they were both. 1371 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 11: There, both there, both jumping up in the air. And 1372 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 11: it's also credit to Braylan Mollens too. I know we 1373 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 11: played earlier in the year, Mark remember we played that 1374 00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 11: Dan Hurley audio talking about Brayln Mollens, And honestly that 1375 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,200 Speaker 11: clip was more of just like the he's so much 1376 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 11: more than just a shooter. Like I want to say 1377 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,320 Speaker 11: it was Seaton Hall maybe Yukon beat late this season 1378 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 11: where Brayln Mullens closed out on a three point shooter 1379 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 11: and actually blocked it. Like if you look at him, 1380 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,640 Speaker 11: his wingspan is very long, and I think that's what 1381 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 11: is offering some NBA attraction among other things of course 1382 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 11: with his game. But you know, again he's not just 1383 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,320 Speaker 11: a shooter because in that moment, you know, maybe Yukon 1384 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 11: has him off the floor in that situation trying to 1385 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 11: play a little defense when you're trying to trap and 1386 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 11: then foul there and then you would have subbed him 1387 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 11: back in, But no, you keep him out there because 1388 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 11: A you feel like he can cause him havoc and 1389 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 11: be you obviously trust his basketball IQ as well. 1390 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 12: So what a March moment. 1391 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 11: Incredible I had just as such A I wasn't in 1392 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 11: the meat market at Sam's Club, Mark, but you better 1393 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 11: believe the Bowen household heard Kevin Bowen going nuts when 1394 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 11: that happened. 1395 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 3: Incredible. Getting back to Purdue Fish from Stoops checking in 1396 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 3: this Morning two three nine ten to seventy says he 1397 01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 3: made a comment to you all, to us all on 1398 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 3: a Friday about tkr's play. Well, the rest Saturday must 1399 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 3: have watched some tape because they didn't allow it talking 1400 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 3: about his physical play, and I you should be ashamed 1401 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 3: for letting Braylan a dust to get away, as well 1402 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 3: as not going with Ben McCollum after that at what 1403 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 3: point do you do IU fans kind of get over 1404 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 3: the Dusty may is up at Michigan. Never that goes 1405 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 3: on forever, doesn't it. Yeah. 1406 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 11: I thought Kauflin Wren picking up that third there in 1407 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 11: the second half, it just that that seemed like such 1408 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 11: a frustration moment to him. And wasn't his second foul 1409 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 11: if I remember correctly, wasn't that like the offensive foul 1410 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 11: when they were inbounding it? It just, you know, some 1411 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,320 Speaker 11: of it, you know, I get that he plays un orthodox. 1412 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 11: I get that, you know, he probably gets away with 1413 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 11: some of it, but like you know, it's one thing 1414 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 11: to get away with, like you know, trying to position 1415 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 11: yourself for an offensive rebound. You know, some of the fowls, honestly, 1416 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 11: I just thought were a little you know, honestly more 1417 01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 11: mental than anything from him there. And I thought once 1418 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 11: he picked up that third and it's like all right, 1419 01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,120 Speaker 11: here comes Daniel Jacobs and back on the floor, or 1420 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 11: it's like you got if you could have if Purdue 1421 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 11: fans want to watched the movie and said you're gonna 1422 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 11: get that out of Daniel Jacobson in the first half 1423 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 11: on Saturday, you'd say, sign up and get back on 1424 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 11: the bench, and then you had to play Kluff. I mean, 1425 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 11: I'd be willing to say that had to be some 1426 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 11: of the most minutes Cluffs played in a game all 1427 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 11: season and actually thought he did a decent job there. 1428 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 11: But you're just playing with fire when Coffin rens and 1429 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 11: foul trouble. You know, outside of Braden Smith shooting early there, 1430 01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 11: you know, and Jakari Harrison a couple threes, you really 1431 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 11: didn't do a whole lot from behind the arc. That 1432 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 11: was gonna be your recipe to try to pull off 1433 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 11: that upset. You were gonna have to outscore them by 1434 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 11: whatever fifteen eighteen, you know, maybe even more from behind 1435 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 11: me uh, behind the arc, and you didn't do that. 1436 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 3: All right, Coming up in a few minutes, we will 1437 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 3: talk to the brand new head coach for the Butler Bulldogs, 1438 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 3: Ronald Norrid's gonna join us in the meantime, Mark, let's 1439 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 3: check things. 1440 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Down the morning, checkdown on Nutty Sweet five and one 1441 01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:58,480 Speaker 1: oh seven five. 1442 01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 4: The fan. 1443 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question, Kevin Bowen. Which of these 1444 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 3: fan bases shows up in droves this week? Michigan, Arizona, Yukon, 1445 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,919 Speaker 3: Illinois half of the Final four made up of Big 1446 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 3: Ten teams. I don't know, you, Illinois, it's not afar. 1447 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 3: It's not a long drive to get over here from 1448 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:17,880 Speaker 3: Champagne or Benon, not at all. 1449 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 11: Chat here in the YouTube chat saying Lois tickets and 1450 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,160 Speaker 11: section six hundred and eight hundred dollars. I guess that's 1451 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 11: for all sessions. Mark, Maybe you can give us a 1452 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 11: little secondary ticket market update at some point here. But yeah, 1453 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 11: I mean Michigan and Illinois. Yeah, they certainly are driving 1454 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 11: a lot. I don't know if that's great for the 1455 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 11: indie hotel scene. You're gonna need Arizona and Yukonda do 1456 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:39,320 Speaker 11: a lot of heavy lifting with that. 1457 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 3: Perdue of course losing in the Elite eight on Saturday 1458 01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 3: Night to Arizona. But I still think that team, the 1459 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,800 Speaker 3: way they had been playing in February. I know they 1460 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 3: were preseason number one, but when you started to look 1461 01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 3: at how Arizona was playing right now, how Michigan is 1462 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 3: starting to play. Even though Purdue beating Michigan in the 1463 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 3: Big Ten Championship, that second half, that Arizona team that 1464 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 3: was just a buzz saw in that second half, Kevin 1465 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 3: were they were electric. If you're just looking at it objectively. 1466 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,760 Speaker 11: The size, the skill, the depth. Yeah, I mean they 1467 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,040 Speaker 11: are They're a wagon. I mean, it's why I think 1468 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 11: a lot of us picked Arizona to win it all. 1469 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 14: Here. 1470 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 11: So Arizona Michigan on Saturday night, Oh my, I mean 1471 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 11: that is a great, great game. I thought I saw 1472 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 11: something where it's the fourth time I think in Final 1473 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 11: four history, we've ever got a team with thirty five wins, 1474 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:33,160 Speaker 11: both of them meeting in the semi final round. So epic. 1475 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 11: And you look the spreads right now, both very very close. 1476 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 11: Michigan won a half point favorite, Illinois two and a 1477 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 11: half point favorite over Ukon. 1478 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 13: I'm looking at the secondary ticket market for all sessions 1479 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 13: to get both games and the National Championship cheapest ticket 1480 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 13: right now section six twenty five, seven hundred and seventeen dollars. 1481 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 11: So three games there, Hey, you gotta think that could 1482 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:57,560 Speaker 11: be north of one thousand by the time you get 1483 01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 11: a Saturday right. 1484 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 3: Get in on it while you can, not getting any 1485 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 3: cheaper as we get closer. That's how that works. So 1486 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 3: there you go, Michigan, Arizona, Yukon, Illinois. That's the Final 1487 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 3: four that'll be invading Indianapolis this week as we get 1488 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 3: ready for another huge event here in the Circle City. 1489 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 3: Last night over at the field House, Pacers win at 1490 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 3: home against the Miami Heat. One thirty five, one eighteen. 1491 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:24,160 Speaker 3: Pascal Siaka thirty points, eleven rebounds. He just the beat 1492 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 3: goes on with him. He just keeps showing up, regardless 1493 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 3: of the record, night after night after night. 1494 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, and shout out to Kobe Brown and Micah Potter. 1495 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 11: They were both big last night off the bench there 1496 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 11: and bam out of Bayo. The Pacers just defensive stopper 1497 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,280 Speaker 11: on the eighty three point guy, what do you have? 1498 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 12: Fifteen? 1499 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,720 Speaker 3: Last, fifteen and twelve? Yet last time about that? 1500 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 11: Yes, the Pacers get their first home wins since the 1501 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 11: January thirty first. For those curious about tank standings and 1502 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 11: what that means, they still are in a very comfortable 1503 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 11: spot to get the best odds possible here, so seven 1504 01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,959 Speaker 11: games ago. As long as they don't do anything crazy 1505 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,880 Speaker 11: ego five and two or six and one, they will 1506 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,320 Speaker 11: have one of the best odds, if not the best 1507 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:06,200 Speaker 11: odds coming up here. 1508 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 3: But lottery, you mentioned Michael Potter five of six from 1509 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 3: three point range. 1510 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 11: You see your backup center next year? Or's Jay Huff 1511 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,000 Speaker 11: your backup center. Did Jay Hops miss those on purpose? 1512 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 3: I had a couple of people ask me that on 1513 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 3: Sunday morning. 1514 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 11: Those are some bricks for an eighty percent foul shooter. 1515 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 3: High school championships. This past Saturday night over at the 1516 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 3: field House, bar Reeve over Triton Park, Heritage beat Westview 1517 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 3: You're alma mater, Indianapolis Cathedral seventy one, New Aven sixty one, 1518 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 3: and of course the four A game Mount Vernon Luke 1519 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 3: Urdle beat Crown Point fifty two to fifty. What do 1520 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,000 Speaker 3: you think of earth crazy? 1521 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 11: He's just the thirst from day one at Purdue. 1522 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 3: He's gonna have to beat at Olmer Meyer up there 1523 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 3: for the starting point guard spot, right, Yeah, probably start 1524 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 3: of the year. I think Meyer probably starts, but I 1525 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 3: don't think it'll be too long before Luke Urdle makes 1526 01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,600 Speaker 3: his way into that starting lineup for sure. What do 1527 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 3: you think? 1528 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, I would assume Meyer and C. J. Cox would 1529 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 11: would hold those probably throughout that entire season. But nonetheless, 1530 01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 11: you know, I think Purdue fans have a lot of 1531 01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 11: things to look forward to. It's gonna be very, very 1532 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 11: different looking, but you know, again you look at the 1533 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 11: three times they've made it to the elite eight here 1534 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 11: under Matt Painter, you've had three very different teams really, 1535 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,919 Speaker 11: and so it's gonna be a big, big rebuild. Kayden Pierce, 1536 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 11: I think, will be a guy that Perdue fans grow 1537 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,640 Speaker 11: to like as well, really skilled, kind of do a 1538 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 11: little bit of everything. 1539 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 12: But the big news I think for Purdue and the 1540 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 12: off season will be what is the status of Oscar Cluff. 1541 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 11: In that six year I think it's really important that 1542 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 11: he gets that, and if he doesn't, I think you 1543 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 11: got to portal it up. I would not want to 1544 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 11: give the starting center keys to Daniel Jak. 1545 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,360 Speaker 3: Not ready yet, not ready yet, but he's got to. 1546 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,560 Speaker 3: He's gonna have to start developing. And that's one thing 1547 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 3: we've seen centers do with with Matt Painter. They have 1548 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 3: developed from the beginning to the end. So we'll keep 1549 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 3: an eye on that during the offseason. Also, auto racing, yesterday, 1550 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 3: Indy Car Alex Pelo wins the Children's of Alabama in 1551 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,560 Speaker 3: Grand Prix. But man did and you look at it, 1552 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,000 Speaker 3: you go, oh, another thirteen second win, but it should 1553 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,920 Speaker 3: have been a two person race. Christian Londerguard was right 1554 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 3: there battling with him, but then he had a really 1555 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,760 Speaker 3: slow pit stop the last one out eighteen seconds it 1556 01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 3: took to get out of there. They were having trouble 1557 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,240 Speaker 3: attaching a tire correctly or a wheel correctly, and that's 1558 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,240 Speaker 3: that matters in a race like that, especially against Alex Pelow, 1559 01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:24,760 Speaker 3: because they don't make a lot of mistakes and those 1560 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 3: cars are good, they're dialed in. So that's what's happening 1561 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:29,439 Speaker 3: in the Inn Carl week. 1562 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 11: By the way, they will have in April. So yes, 1563 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,679 Speaker 11: there will be one more race before the road course 1564 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:34,600 Speaker 11: here in may A. 1565 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball. Yesterday the Reds there now two to 1566 01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,640 Speaker 3: one on the season. They beat the Red Sox three 1567 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,840 Speaker 3: to two. In the afternoon, you Haneo Souarez had a 1568 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,280 Speaker 3: three run shot in the sixth Nationals over the cub 1569 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 3: six to four. The Rais defeated the Cards eleven to seven, 1570 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 3: and the Browers beat the White Sox by a score 1571 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 3: of nine to seven. How's the start of the baseball 1572 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:52,080 Speaker 3: season going so far? 1573 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,639 Speaker 13: Marktexas, start the lock out now, let's go, let's stop 1574 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 13: baseball right now. 1575 01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 12: One and two against the Nationals. We can't have that 1576 01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 12: start over do it again. 1577 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 3: Let's get he. 1578 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 12: Doesn't start to April. 1579 01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 3: Anyways, Mark, you know, uh, you've only got one hundred 1580 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 3: and fifty nine games left to make that up. 1581 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 13: Mark, got the Angels up next. Let's get some stuff. 1582 01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:09,640 Speaker 13: Let's get some work boys, all right. 1583 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 3: The Indianapolis Indians had a rough start to the weekend. 1584 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 3: They lose three in a row Friday, Saturday, Sunday to 1585 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 3: start the season against Saint Paul. They now start a 1586 01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 3: six game road trip that starts tomorrow in Columbus. So 1587 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,519 Speaker 3: that's what's happening. And a bracket update for those who've 1588 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 3: been participating here in the Fan Morning Show Bracket Challenge. 1589 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 3: Are the whole Fan Bracket Challenge.

Tough to be on top. 1592 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,519 Speaker 11: Somehow I find a way, man oh man mans he 1593 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 11: claims the prize. 1594 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 12: He says, screw the listeners.

I don't have any insights, just have 1599 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:53,559 Speaker 12: a smart brain. 1600 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 3: I'm looking at Eric Paget, who's in second place right now, 1601 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 3: and he's got Arizona in there, Michigan and Illinois, but 1602 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,320 Speaker 3: he doesn't have one from the Duke Michigan state. That's 1603 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 3: who he had in the regional. 1604 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 11: Find Mark locked or does somebody have Michigan semifinals? 1605 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, opt the look he'd. 1606 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 12: Now somebody has Michigan than Mark's probably not locked. 1607 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I say second place does have Michigan. 1608 01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 3: So if you have a rough final four opening weekend, Mark, 1609 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 3: it could get dicey. 1610 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 12: We'll see, We'll see slowly at the top though. 1611 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,439 Speaker 3: That's all I know. All right, Gary Woodland wins on 1612 01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,760 Speaker 3: the PGA Tour yesterday. Anything else that you wanted to 1613 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,160 Speaker 3: talk about over the weekend. 1614 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,840 Speaker 11: It deserves a bigger subject. But obviously the Tiger wood 1615 01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 11: story is just horrific. The man needs help beyond belief 1616 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,360 Speaker 11: and heads a driver. And for those that did miss it, yesterday, 1617 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 11: the Notre Dame women's season came to a close. I 1618 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 11: could not believe when I saw my eyes that Yukon 1619 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 11: was favored by twenty seven and a half over Notre 1620 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:52,679 Speaker 11: Dame in the elite eight round. 1621 01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 12: Irish lose by eighteen. 1622 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 3: There you go.

And all levels of leadership 1660 01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,679 Speaker 16: from top to bottom, you know, for me, uh, leading 1661 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,280 Speaker 16: where I was in the NBA, no matter what job, 1662 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 16: next job I took, whether I was NBA or college, 1663 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,600 Speaker 16: whatever the case may be, you know, to to be 1664 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,880 Speaker 16: at a place where there's great alignment and where there's 1665 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 16: a vision for success or two of the most important 1666 01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 16: aspects of the job. 1667 01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 11: We've had Rick Carlisle on this show here for about 1668 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 11: the past three or four years. I thought it was 1669 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,960 Speaker 11: really cool that him and Tyr Saliburn, tjer mcconne. I 1670 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,200 Speaker 11: think Lloyd Pierce as well. They all show up Friday 1671 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 11: to your press conference, and you mentioned that one thing 1672 01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,240 Speaker 11: you've learned from Rick as being an assistant for him 1673 01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 11: was to focus really on the things that matter the 1674 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,639 Speaker 11: most when it comes to winning. Try not to let 1675 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 11: the other stuff, really whatever, overtake your mind if you will, 1676 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 11: in your eyes, like, what are the top things that 1677 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 11: fit into that category the most important things to winning. 1678 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 16: Well, I think for us here at Butler, it starts 1679 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,240 Speaker 16: with the type of people that we attract. 1680 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,439 Speaker 17: You know, Butler is a unique place. It's a great place, 1681 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 17: but everyone doesn't fit Butler, and so we have to 1682 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 17: be really clear about who those people are. 1683 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 4: Getting those right people on. 1684 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,280 Speaker 16: The bus, that's a big deal, and then making sure 1685 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 16: that we are clear about our identity once people get here, 1686 01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,720 Speaker 16: and also living in our identity. You know, one of 1687 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,760 Speaker 16: the things that I said in the press conference was, 1688 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 16: you know, to be a tough, defensive, first minded team, 1689 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 16: and so to have the focus there and not waiver 1690 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,600 Speaker 16: from that will be something that's really important as we 1691 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 16: get this program, get this program moving forward. 1692 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,040 Speaker 3: You played for Brad Stevens. Did you have a chance 1693 01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 3: to talk to him during any of this process I did. 1694 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,880 Speaker 16: I talked to Brad all the time, and so you know, 1695 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,839 Speaker 16: it wasn't abnormal for us to talk to this process. 1696 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 4: But you know, obviously you know he's the best to 1697 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 4: ever do it here. 1698 01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 16: I think he's the best coach in the country, although 1699 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 16: he's not coaching right now, and so to be able 1700 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,639 Speaker 16: to communicate with him frequently is something that's been great 1701 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 16: for me. 1702 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 12: Have boys right there, the new head coach of the 1703 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:40,759 Speaker 12: Butler Bulldogs. 1704 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 3: He is Ronald nora Ed. 1705 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:45,960 Speaker 11: We had you on this morning show again probably three 1706 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 11: or four years at this point now when you're getting 1707 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,120 Speaker 11: ready to coach the Pacer Summer League team. 1708 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 12: And yeah, I think you had. 1709 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,840 Speaker 11: Interviewed with Barry call year before they went with SAD 1710 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 11: and you know you had mentioned you kind of asked you, ay, 1711 01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:57,920 Speaker 11: five to ten years down the road, where do you 1712 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,840 Speaker 11: see yourself? And you mentioned NBA had coach. How much 1713 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 11: was I guess was there a shift at all? In Okay, 1714 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 11: the NBA coach is probably not gonna happen. It's gonna 1715 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,200 Speaker 11: have to wait maybe, and it's going to be more 1716 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 11: of a I'm gonna go back to my alma mater 1717 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 11: and try to inject you know, so much need to 1718 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:14,719 Speaker 11: life into that program. 1719 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 16: Now, I wouldn't say that was the mindset. Obviously loved 1720 01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,559 Speaker 16: the NBA. I've since spent the majority of my career 1721 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 16: in the NBA, and it is a it is a 1722 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,920 Speaker 16: great place. And you know, you know, some of those opportunities, uh, 1723 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 16: you know, could come, may come.

But when this opportunity came about, and like 1726 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 16: I said, there there's a great alignment amongst the levels 1727 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 16: of leadership. And I believe in Grant Line Decker. Obviously 1728 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 16: he and I played together here, but he's got a 1729 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,640 Speaker 16: vision to continue to move this place to places that 1730 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,679 Speaker 16: we haven't been before. And it is my alma mater 1731 01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,560 Speaker 16: and there are great people here and so to be 1732 01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 16: able to align in that way is a big part 1733 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,080 Speaker 16: of me taking this job. You know, there's a lot 1734 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 16: of jobs that could come available that you may not 1735 01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,599 Speaker 16: have that level of alignment, and it can be really 1736 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 16: difficult to. 1737 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 4: Have a chance of success without that. 1738 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 16: So Grant Line Decker and just Butler University and his 1739 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,760 Speaker 16: vision for it and President Danko or major reasons why 1740 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,320 Speaker 16: this intrigued me and why I took the job. 1741 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 11: Were you really the freshman year class president at Butler 1742 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:33,240 Speaker 11: when you went there?

By the way, 1800 01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 3: what's it gonna take for Butler to be able to 1801 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 3: compete with the Yukon's and the Saint John's in the 1802 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 3: Big East. You're in, You're out. What's the biggest thing 1803 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:05,800 Speaker 3: to do to make that happen? 1804 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is just being very 1805 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 4: clear about who we want to be. 1806 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,680 Speaker 16: We have to live inside of our identity. 1807 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,800 Speaker 17: We have to be the best version of Butler that 1808 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,720 Speaker 17: we can be for us. 1809 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 16: That starts on the defensive end, and so in our 1810 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 16: recruiting and our coaching and our teaching, we've got to 1811 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,080 Speaker 16: be a defensive team first. We've got to be a 1812 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:31,680 Speaker 16: physical team. I believe defense travels no matter where you are. 1813 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 16: You know, from night to night you can shoot the 1814 01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,040 Speaker 16: ball well, you know, you can shoot the ball poorly, 1815 01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 16: But if you can be a great defensive team. 1816 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 17: You can always put yourself in a position to win. 1817 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,000 Speaker 11: Ronald, when we had you on a couple of years ago, 1818 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 11: we brought up the you stepping into one against Syracuse 1819 01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 11: down for just a massive shot in that run of 1820 01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 11: the National title game. People forget about the Murray State 1821 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker 11: game as well in your impact. When you think back 1822 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,840 Speaker 11: on those two years and making the National Title game 1823 01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 11: back to back years, what's maybe an under the radar 1824 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 11: moment and under the radar game that you feel like 1825 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,360 Speaker 11: should get brought up a little bit more. 1826 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:09,599 Speaker 4: That's a that's a great question. 1827 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 16: First of all, you're making me feel good, you know, 1828 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 16: reliving all all my couple of highlights that I had 1829 01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 16: in my four years of my career. 1830 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:15,640 Speaker 4: And that. 1831 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:18,360 Speaker 11: Was no joke. 1832 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:19,200 Speaker 3: That was no joke. 1833 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 4: They yeah, underrated. 1834 01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:28,600 Speaker 16: I would say, you know, every game is important. I 1835 01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,559 Speaker 16: think about, you know, having a having a grind through 1836 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,840 Speaker 16: the Wisconsin game and the Sweet sixteen, I mean the 1837 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 16: Florida game and the Elite eight in twenty eleven. 1838 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 4: Uh, that overtime game. 1839 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:42,560 Speaker 16: Krishawn Hopkins, who has not played I'm not sure he 1840 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:43,439 Speaker 16: had played much. 1841 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:44,320 Speaker 4: All in the tournament. 1842 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,760 Speaker 16: You know, as a freshman, we needed a spark and 1843 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 16: comes in and I think he hit three threes. I 1844 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:54,360 Speaker 16: had to quick nine points that Without that, we don't 1845 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,560 Speaker 16: have a chance to go on overtime. In Florida was 1846 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,280 Speaker 16: controlling the game. So there's a lot of little moments 1847 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,639 Speaker 16: like that that happened, but that's probably one that stands out. 1848 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,120 Speaker 11: Yeah, you guys had some epic first weekend games as 1849 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,640 Speaker 11: well throughout both those runs. Okay, last last one for me. 1850 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,720 Speaker 11: You know, we talk about when a coach gets hired, 1851 01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,760 Speaker 11: excell knows this and recruiting that and all of that. 1852 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:15,280 Speaker 11: How much do you view a big part of your 1853 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 11: job being the need to help raise money. 1854 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 4: I think it's critical. I think it's critical in this role. 1855 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 16: You know, one thing that Grant and I talked about 1856 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,559 Speaker 16: was our partnership and being able to push our program 1857 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:29,080 Speaker 16: forward together. 1858 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 4: And again, I a large part of the. 1859 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 16: Reason I came here is because of Grant, his vision, 1860 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 16: his work ethic, and I want to be a great 1861 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,000 Speaker 16: teammate and and join him in that. 1862 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 4: So all the people that are supporting our program, we 1863 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:44,280 Speaker 4: want to get out in front of them. 1864 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:47,160 Speaker 16: We want to continue that support, sell our vision and 1865 01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 16: make sure people know that they're going to be proud 1866 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:49,959 Speaker 16: of Butler basketball. 1867 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 3: Anybody going to be allowed to wear number five?

When Brad Stevens turned to him 1900 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 11: in that Elite eight game against Florid, Chelvin Mack was 1901 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:05,800 Speaker 11: so good throughout it. 1902 01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 12: I mean, I think back those. 1903 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,639 Speaker 11: Early runs, the old Dominion games and the Pittsburgh game. 1904 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 11: Of course, I know John had Matt Howard or I 1905 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 11: think maybe Jake had Matt Howard on last week, and 1906 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,320 Speaker 11: you know he was so so key with so many 1907 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 11: big plays and obviously rest in peace to Andrews Smith 1908 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 11: and his tip in And yeah, pretty fun to kind 1909 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,880 Speaker 11: of go down memory lane there, But definitely gonna bring 1910 01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 11: energy and life into that program model Nora and I 1911 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,640 Speaker 11: said it last week. I do think there was a 1912 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,479 Speaker 11: high ceiling with this higher. I understand it's a first 1913 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 11: time head coach and that maybe creates a little bit 1914 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,640 Speaker 11: of a lower floor, but I think when you are 1915 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 11: probably gonna be always at a resource disadvantage when you 1916 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 11: bring up Yukon in Saint John's Jeff, then you've got 1917 01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 11: to try and create a higher ceiling elsewhere. And I 1918 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 11: do think nor Ed's just frankly, his energy level, his 1919 01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,720 Speaker 11: embrace of what this era is all about. And I 1920 01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:58,720 Speaker 11: do think the defense thing is real. 1921 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 12: Clearly it was real. It was why he was on 1922 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 12: the floor as much as he was in his time 1923 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 12: there at Butler. 1924 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,639 Speaker 3: All right, look back at the Pacers win at home yesterday. 1925 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,120 Speaker 3: Also a big week out of basketball everywhere.

But I saw a lot 1944 01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 3: of coaching experience, certainly as an assistant in the NBA 1945 01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,840 Speaker 3: one year as the varsity coach at Brownsburg. We talked 1946 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 3: about some in the G League and things of that nature. 1947 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 3: And I'm just curious Kevin when he says, be true 1948 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 3: to ourselves as a program, play with you know, do 1949 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 3: what's within our interests at Butler, what does that mean exactly? 1950 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 3: What did you take that to mean moving forward just 1951 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,599 Speaker 3: to establish his own type of identity or own identity, 1952 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 3: or what did that mean when I asked him about 1953 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 3: challenging the Yukons and the Saint John's of the world. 1954 01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 3: What'd you take for that answer? 1955 01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,240 Speaker 11: Well, I obviously built on the defensive end of the floor. 1956 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 11: I think it's one thing he alluded to. But I 1957 01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,479 Speaker 11: do think Butler has got to have a route in 1958 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,639 Speaker 11: the high school ability to build a roster. You can't 1959 01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,560 Speaker 11: live in the portal to the degree they've lived in it. 1960 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,840 Speaker 11: I mean, if you look at their roster turnover over 1961 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,320 Speaker 11: the last three or four years. It's you just don't 1962 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,560 Speaker 11: have the finances to play that game. I think you 1963 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:59,639 Speaker 11: need some high school talent that you know, grow within 1964 01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,559 Speaker 11: your and you know, to be fair to that, mad 1965 01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:04,160 Speaker 11: I think he had a pretty good freshman class this 1966 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 11: past season. Unfortunately, some injuries kind of derailed that. But that, 1967 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,600 Speaker 11: to me, I think is a huge part of what 1968 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 11: Butler's got to be about. They can increase some funding, sure, 1969 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,439 Speaker 11: but still you got to have, you know, a nice 1970 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 11: foundational piece that is through that area, and the state 1971 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 11: should provide that. And if you look at those national 1972 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 11: championship teams, they obviously had you know, plenty of Indiana 1973 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:24,160 Speaker 11: flavor on it. 1974 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:26,680 Speaker 3: That was good to talk to him, And of course 1975 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,840 Speaker 3: the Pacers winning yesterday against Miami, still have the worst 1976 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,400 Speaker 3: record in the NBA, and pointing out, as you have 1977 01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:37,320 Speaker 3: done consistently, Kevin, that what they've done, you know, to 1978 01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 3: try and get out of this injury mess or to 1979 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,640 Speaker 3: stay in the injury mess, however you want to look 1980 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,120 Speaker 3: at it, tanking, not tanking. They got the worst record 1981 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 3: in the league right now, but that's still a forty 1982 01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 3: eight percent chance of falling below the top four picks. Kevin, 1983 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 3: and so it's not a given that it's all just 1984 01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:54,160 Speaker 3: going to work out magically. 1985 01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 11: No again, I believe it's each of the last three 1986 01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,960 Speaker 11: years the team with the worst record and has ended 1987 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,000 Speaker 11: up picking fifth in the lottery. So there you go. 1988 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:08,520 Speaker 3: All right, let's do the daily NBA Draft lottery simulator 1989 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:10,840 Speaker 3: for the Indiana Pacers just to get an idea of 1990 01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:18,120 Speaker 3: how this goes.

So Brayla Molins never won a sexual 2108 01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:39,880 Speaker 15: championship in high school and he hit that shot yesterday 2109 01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:41,679 Speaker 15: send the teams was the final four. So how about 2110 01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 15: that for a year difference? 2111 01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:47,040 Speaker 11: Greenfield, Indiana stand up, Hancock County stand up. With the 2112 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,080 Speaker 11: weekend they had Mount Vernon coming back, James in the 2113 01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:50,720 Speaker 11: building for that one, and then he was. 2114 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 12: Out to Phoenix. 2115 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,240 Speaker 11: Okay, let's just lay a little bit of like I 2116 01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 11: guess the schedule for an audience that maybe's not following 2117 01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 11: exactly what's going on there. League meetings before we dive 2118 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:04,280 Speaker 11: into exactly what carli Ersa Gordon had to say. She 2119 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:07,160 Speaker 11: talked yesterday, right, and then we'll hear from Chris Boward 2120 01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:08,879 Speaker 11: and Shane stike In today tomorrow. 2121 01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 12: How's all this working? 2122 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 15: So she spoke yesterday, and then we'll hear from Chris 2123 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:18,680 Speaker 15: Ballard at one o'clock this time in Phoenix that that 2124 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:23,080 Speaker 15: should be about four o'clock during John Show coming up 2125 01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,280 Speaker 15: later today. And then we'll talk to Shane Stikeen tomorrow 2126 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,639 Speaker 15: morning at the coaches Breakfast. 2127 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,360 Speaker 11: Okay, first time we've heard from carli ars Gordon since 2128 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,320 Speaker 11: the end of the season. We've read a couple of 2129 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,720 Speaker 11: the quotes that you had in your story here this 2130 01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:40,439 Speaker 11: morning up on the Athletics website. But I'll just ask 2131 01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:41,519 Speaker 11: you to you because I think it was about a 2132 01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 11: half hour sit down with there. The biggest thing you 2133 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 11: learned from her was what. 2134 01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:51,880 Speaker 15: I think my biggest takeaway, Kevin, was her true belief 2135 01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,519 Speaker 15: and that aid and two start. I mean, the quote 2136 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,720 Speaker 15: that keeps sticking in my mind is her saying that 2137 01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,800 Speaker 15: it's like we pressed pauls in a movie and now 2138 01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 15: we get to resume it and reference to Daniel Jones 2139 01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,160 Speaker 15: and the rest of the team, and I think it'll 2140 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,559 Speaker 15: be a lot better this time. I'm paraphrasing a little bit, 2141 01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,120 Speaker 15: but in my mind, I'm like, boy, that is some 2142 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:14,320 Speaker 15: conviction or perhaps some you know, delusion, just because sports 2143 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,960 Speaker 15: are cruel, and I think with Daniel in particular, the 2144 01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:19,519 Speaker 15: injury history is concerning. I asked about that as well, 2145 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 15: and she told me, hey, he's working hard. He could 2146 01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:24,439 Speaker 15: have just you know, went into a shell, but he didn't. 2147 01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 15: He stuck around for Riley, He Lawrence Philip Rivers when 2148 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:28,599 Speaker 15: we brought him in and we believed that he can 2149 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,400 Speaker 15: lead this team, and Pardoning was just like, how can 2150 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:35,439 Speaker 15: you be that confident in something like that when you've 2151 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,800 Speaker 15: seen the results here after hear him not staying healthy. 2152 01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,360 Speaker 15: So that was one of my biggest takeaways was just wow, you. 2153 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:41,280 Speaker 4: Think this is a movie. 2154 01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,719 Speaker 15: And I was like, my thinking to myself, man, sequels 2155 01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 15: aren't always as good as the original, and for your sake, 2156 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:46,960 Speaker 15: I hope it is. 2157 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:49,760 Speaker 13: This doesn't seem like terminator to Judgment Day. I will 2158 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:52,120 Speaker 13: say that when it comes to the Colts, but doesn't 2159 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 13: seem like there's any indication that there are any moves 2160 01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,120 Speaker 13: on the way either. It seems like she's pretty comfortable 2161 01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 13: with the way the roster has constructed, how they've handled 2162 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,680 Speaker 13: free agent. They're just gonna kind of, you know, there 2163 01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 13: might be a mover here or there, but it won't 2164 01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:05,720 Speaker 13: be any sort of significance ahead of the draft. Is 2165 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 13: that your takeaway as well? 2166 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,000 Speaker 15: A little bit because she did know, because I believe 2167 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,640 Speaker 15: it was Stephen Holder like, hey, do you think this 2168 01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:14,920 Speaker 15: team has improved? And she was like, we're off to 2169 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 15: a great start, and she can't really mentioned free agency 2170 01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:20,720 Speaker 15: as a remaining avenue. Not granted, they probably could go 2171 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 15: out get somebody at this point, I don't know who 2172 01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:25,640 Speaker 15: that would be. But she also mentioned, okay, well, the 2173 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:27,760 Speaker 15: D line is what we have to get better, and 2174 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:29,840 Speaker 15: we need to draft have a lot of opportunities, and 2175 01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:31,880 Speaker 15: I was thinking to myself, Okay, it sounds like they're 2176 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,720 Speaker 15: going to draft a defensive end. But the follow up 2177 01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:38,040 Speaker 15: that I, you know, really have for Chris Baller more 2178 01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:39,600 Speaker 15: so than her because she did defer to him for 2179 01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 15: a couple of the team building decisions and stuff like that, 2180 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 15: which is fair. He is the general manager, will hear 2181 01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 15: from him letter today, But my mind, I'm just thinking 2182 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:52,040 Speaker 15: to myself, Okay, well, how do you all fill so 2183 01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:56,519 Speaker 15: many holes with really the draft left? Like, to me, 2184 01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 15: that is a bit naive to think that you're going 2185 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,519 Speaker 15: to fight all the answers. And when we bring up 2186 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,200 Speaker 15: some of the holes in a roster, she mentioned, all, well, 2187 01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:05,880 Speaker 15: Justin Wally and Hunter Woler, those guys are going to be. 2188 01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:06,439 Speaker 11: Healthy this year. 2189 01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,559 Speaker 15: And I'm thinking to myself, Man, I didn't expect those 2190 01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:10,320 Speaker 15: names to get mentioned when we're talking about trying to 2191 01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 15: go win, you know, enough games. 2192 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:12,639 Speaker 4: To get to the playoffs. 2193 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,880 Speaker 15: I mean, they're fine players, but I mean we're talking 2194 01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,160 Speaker 15: about a rookie safety and a rookie cornerback who never 2195 01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 15: played last year. So that's a lot to put on 2196 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 15: their plate. 2197 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:22,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, we kind of shared some thoughts earlier. I thought 2198 01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:26,840 Speaker 11: that quote unlike again, improving if you've improved. I was 2199 01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:28,920 Speaker 11: scratching my head at that. It's like, you know, it's 2200 01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:30,880 Speaker 11: one thing, okay, Daniel Jones played good football for you 2201 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,080 Speaker 11: last year. To put Hunter Woller and Justin Wallely into 2202 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,400 Speaker 11: that category when they haven't taken a snap in the NFL, 2203 01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:38,920 Speaker 11: I think is super premature on that end. Again, James 2204 01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 11: Woyd with us, he's out in Phoenix. It is the 2205 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:44,240 Speaker 11: league's annual meetings. Here they'll hear from Chris Ballard coming 2206 01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:47,200 Speaker 11: up later today, Shane Sike and tomorrow the Athletic where 2207 01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:50,160 Speaker 11: you can find James's work. I did want to throw 2208 01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:52,800 Speaker 11: one more in there on the Carly front. I saw 2209 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:57,120 Speaker 11: Stephen Holder mention she was asked about any sort of 2210 01:36:57,200 --> 01:37:00,960 Speaker 11: private equity investment into the team, and James, I guess 2211 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:03,160 Speaker 11: just off a little context to our audience and feel 2212 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:06,519 Speaker 11: free to correct me. The implemented the NFL implemented this 2213 01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 11: rule a couple of years ago where they could allow 2214 01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:12,680 Speaker 11: for some private equity into ownership. I believe it has 2215 01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 11: to be capped, and I think it's ten percent would 2216 01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:17,880 Speaker 11: be the highest that you can go. We've seen a 2217 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,280 Speaker 11: few teams around the league do this again with a 2218 01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:24,640 Speaker 11: very small minority. And Carly's response to that was what. 2219 01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,160 Speaker 4: So to be clear, Steven. 2220 01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 15: Actually spoke to her for an ESPN like separate piece 2221 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 15: before we got there as a group, so that's when 2222 01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:37,639 Speaker 15: he asked her that. But basically, to give you a guest, 2223 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,519 Speaker 15: a little more context, we did. I mean, he mentioned 2224 01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:41,120 Speaker 15: it to us and we were able to ask her 2225 01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:43,320 Speaker 15: about some of the team finances and stuff. Like that, 2226 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 15: But it sounds like she's open to the idea but 2227 01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:48,320 Speaker 15: doesn't want you to go forward with that avenue just yet. 2228 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,360 Speaker 15: But we did ask, hey, by the way, are you 2229 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 15: all able to, you know, financially play ball with some 2230 01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,360 Speaker 15: of the big spenders so to speak in the NFL? 2231 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,400 Speaker 15: Do you have enough cash on hand? You know, we 2232 01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,320 Speaker 15: at talk about cash versus cap, like do you have 2233 01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,560 Speaker 15: enough physical money to go out there and get the 2234 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:05,360 Speaker 15: players you need to? And she said yes, that's not 2235 01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,240 Speaker 15: going to be something that holds us back. So for 2236 01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 15: those out there asking, oh my gosh, the Colts, you know, 2237 01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:11,920 Speaker 15: cash poor, first of all, they would never tell us that. 2238 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,519 Speaker 15: But secondly, it doesn't seem like that's even an issue. 2239 01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,720 Speaker 15: And I honestly, right now they have plenty of cap 2240 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 15: space to go and spend money on people, and they 2241 01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:20,360 Speaker 15: have plenty of money to do it. It's just like, 2242 01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:21,840 Speaker 15: who are you going to spend it on at this 2243 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:22,800 Speaker 15: point outside. 2244 01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,280 Speaker 3: The draft pick James. 2245 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:27,679 Speaker 13: One of the non specific cult stories making the rounds 2246 01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:29,479 Speaker 13: of the end of l owners meetings is their discussion 2247 01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:33,360 Speaker 13: of replacement refs coming back to the NFL. 2248 01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:35,280 Speaker 12: Is there in dispute with the regular officials? 2249 01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:38,920 Speaker 13: Is that the biggest non cults specific storyline at the 2250 01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:39,840 Speaker 13: owner's meetings right now. 2251 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 12: Is there something else out there? 2252 01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:43,760 Speaker 4: I would say, that's a big one. 2253 01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:45,719 Speaker 15: And then the other two that I was asking Carly 2254 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:47,880 Speaker 15: about and all of us here at the athletic I've 2255 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:50,639 Speaker 15: been structed to ask our owners and gms and coaches about, 2256 01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 15: is like, you know, adding an eighteenth game and also 2257 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:57,719 Speaker 15: the Browns proposal to trade picks up until five years 2258 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,639 Speaker 15: into the future. So it seems like Carly is into both. 2259 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,599 Speaker 15: She basically said that she's on board with an eighteenth game, 2260 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,479 Speaker 15: granted they would have to change the schedule protect players' bodies. 2261 01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:08,880 Speaker 15: She was mentioning a lot about how, you know, maybe 2262 01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,240 Speaker 15: we have to you know, get rid of a preseason 2263 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:13,519 Speaker 15: game and drop down to two. Do we change the 2264 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:15,560 Speaker 15: off season program to make sure guys are healthier. Do 2265 01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,479 Speaker 15: we look at n seeding, rehab and recovery. Do we 2266 01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 15: have to have you know, more opportunities for guys to 2267 01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:22,599 Speaker 15: get healthy? And then she also mentioned when they came 2268 01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:25,080 Speaker 15: to the Browns thing was like, well, I don't see 2269 01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,000 Speaker 15: why we should restrict teams from having more autonomy, more 2270 01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:31,280 Speaker 15: ability to you know, use whatever resources they have. Because 2271 01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:34,439 Speaker 15: she was saying, you know, essentially, the way I interpreted her, 2272 01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 15: h you know, breakdown of this Browns proposal to trade 2273 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:40,240 Speaker 15: picks further into the future was like, well, at some 2274 01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:42,160 Speaker 15: point the rubber has to meet the road and the 2275 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:43,960 Speaker 15: good teams to do a good job and the bad 2276 01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:44,559 Speaker 15: teams won't. 2277 01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:49,280 Speaker 11: And that's the reality of it, James, last one, And 2278 01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,080 Speaker 11: I guess those kind of shift gears here, But you 2279 01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 11: brought it up earlier. Sports are cruel and the movie 2280 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 11: element is not always one with this great happy ending 2281 01:39:58,600 --> 01:39:59,000 Speaker 11: to it all. 2282 01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:01,960 Speaker 12: How do you think fans are feeling on this Monday morning? 2283 01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,760 Speaker 15: Oh man, I think they're feeling a little rough. That 2284 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,519 Speaker 15: second half you start to see just the physicality and honestly, 2285 01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,600 Speaker 15: Arizona have probably had a couple of NBA players, and that, 2286 01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 15: to me is probably the biggest difference, is athletically and 2287 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 15: physically and just seeing that there is another level that 2288 01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,240 Speaker 15: that team could get to that Purdue could not get 2289 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,519 Speaker 15: to in my opinion. But at the same time, I 2290 01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:25,280 Speaker 15: think you really have to be very proud, soe maybe 2291 01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,200 Speaker 15: you're you're disappointed, but you can't, in my opinion, to 2292 01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:30,360 Speaker 15: hang your head too much because that team, I thought 2293 01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,080 Speaker 15: did about as well as they could have given the 2294 01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:36,160 Speaker 15: rosters that they had, the things they went through earlier 2295 01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:37,840 Speaker 15: in the season, and they did play some of their 2296 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,280 Speaker 15: best basketball there at the end. So I think you 2297 01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,960 Speaker 15: took your cap to Brayden Smith and and Fletcher Lawyer 2298 01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:45,160 Speaker 15: and Treykaffman Ren and you told guys, thank you for 2299 01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,800 Speaker 15: four years of great basketball. And I get it, you 2300 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,800 Speaker 15: didn't win a national championship. People are gonna, you know, 2301 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:52,960 Speaker 15: be I think a little bit disingenuous sometimes if you're 2302 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,640 Speaker 15: a hating IU fan or somebody else. But they had 2303 01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 15: a great run, and I think you should be proud 2304 01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,559 Speaker 15: of what you saw because getting to the lead eight, 2305 01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 15: you know, is it easy. And we talked about it 2306 01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:03,720 Speaker 15: last week, Kevin. I mean to a degree, you're a 2307 01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:05,800 Speaker 15: victim of your own success because no one expected you 2308 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,160 Speaker 15: to be anything until you started winning a bunch of 2309 01:41:08,200 --> 01:41:09,000 Speaker 15: games four years ago. 2310 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 11: What'd you make of that? For a state final game there, 2311 01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,599 Speaker 11: Crown point ten point lead, a little bit of holding 2312 01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:17,760 Speaker 11: the ball, Mount Vernon making the comeback there to win 2313 01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:18,760 Speaker 11: the for a state title. 2314 01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:20,719 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. 2315 01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:23,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, I know, people say, hey, you should have the 2316 01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:25,920 Speaker 15: shot cloud. This shouldn't be a thing, But I thought 2317 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,800 Speaker 15: that Mount Vernon did a pretty good job of not 2318 01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:31,719 Speaker 15: sitting back too long. They're like, they didn't let Crownpoint 2319 01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,680 Speaker 15: hold it for like three minutes. But I thought that 2320 01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,040 Speaker 15: holding the ball to Crowd Point out of their rhythm 2321 01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,400 Speaker 15: quite honestly in the way. One of our listeners, actually 2322 01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,519 Speaker 15: one of the guys that faults me on Twitter, he mentioned, Hey, 2323 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,439 Speaker 15: I thought that Mount Vernon they got their dude to 2324 01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:47,679 Speaker 15: the ball and they made sure he had plenty opportunities 2325 01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:49,920 Speaker 15: to go win the game, whereas with Crown Point they. 2326 01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:51,599 Speaker 4: Squeezed the ball and the kem Bay saw. 2327 01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,720 Speaker 15: Who the Mount Vernon team could not stop at all. 2328 01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,760 Speaker 15: I mean, he didn't have enough opportunities to go win it. 2329 01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:00,760 Speaker 15: I felt like, so they played him and they bit 2330 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,040 Speaker 15: the bullet forward. And then I mean, how fitting is 2331 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:05,720 Speaker 15: it for Luke Eardle that went, you know, state championship 2332 01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 15: and go over and gap with Tyree Halliburn right after, 2333 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:09,760 Speaker 15: And I was thinking, boy, that that's got to be 2334 01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:11,160 Speaker 15: one of the coolest feelings in the world, when you 2335 01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,280 Speaker 15: know you put on a show and f in front 2336 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:14,840 Speaker 15: of a guy who usually does the same thing on 2337 01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 15: that court. 2338 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:18,160 Speaker 13: Last last one we saw you wear a suit to 2339 01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 13: the Berlin game. You know, back earlier last season. Are 2340 01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:23,560 Speaker 13: you rocking a suit come final four time? In like 2341 01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:26,559 Speaker 13: a Champagne colored Eliini outfit? 2342 01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 4: And yeah, there you go, there you go. 2343 01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:34,280 Speaker 15: We'll see. I keep giving people asking me like, hey, 2344 01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:36,000 Speaker 15: are you going? You got to be going right, And 2345 01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:37,800 Speaker 15: I'm like, what kind of budget do you think I 2346 01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:39,840 Speaker 15: lived my life by? No, I have not got much 2347 01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:42,080 Speaker 15: to this game. I can not afford it. So we'll 2348 01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,639 Speaker 15: be sliding the dms of my school, which does follow 2349 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:46,760 Speaker 15: me on social media, and seeing, hey, by the way, 2350 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,000 Speaker 15: I've been a good shepherd of the school, good steward 2351 01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:50,960 Speaker 15: and all that stuff.

Maybe that's like a hotel team. You know, 2378 01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,240 Speaker 11: Michigan and Illinois they don't have the hotel it up, 2379 01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,320 Speaker 11: or at least they don't need to. They could drive 2380 01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,599 Speaker 11: back and forth a little bit there. But I mean, 2381 01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,760 Speaker 11: all in all, it's a pretty good quartet here. Would 2382 01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:15,479 Speaker 11: in terms of the storylines you got, I don't know. 2383 01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,880 Speaker 11: Maybe Yukon fans are not necessarily totally in the Hey, 2384 01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:20,800 Speaker 11: we're gonna continue to travel like we have to these 2385 01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,880 Speaker 11: national titles. But you know, when's the last time we've 2386 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,920 Speaker 11: gotten these matchups with these spreads? 2387 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:29,080 Speaker 12: Have you seen the spreads? I mean two and a 2388 01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:29,920 Speaker 12: half is the biggest spread. 2389 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,120 Speaker 11: Yeah, Illinois favor by two and a half over Yukon 2390 01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,799 Speaker 11: and Michigan's just one and a half of Arizona. 2391 01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:36,720 Speaker 12: You've got some Midwest power and then you've got some 2392 01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,519 Speaker 12: some powerhouses come in to town. All right, let's break 2393 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:41,400 Speaker 12: it all down. Let's check it down. Rob Blackman voiced 2394 01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:42,799 Speaker 12: the Boilers going to join us in ten. 2395 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 1: The morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh 2396 01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:48,599 Speaker 1: seven five the fan. 2397 01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:50,720 Speaker 11: All right, let's begin to the Boilers. It was a 2398 01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:53,640 Speaker 11: tail of two halves on Saturday nights. Outstanding start by 2399 01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:56,280 Speaker 11: Braden Smith. I thought some key bench minutes there in 2400 01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:59,720 Speaker 11: the first half. Purdue led by seven at intermission, but 2401 01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:04,439 Speaker 11: the in an absolute championship haymaker from Arizona there in 2402 01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:07,439 Speaker 11: the second half. I thought a key sequence early early 2403 01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:10,479 Speaker 11: in that second half was trekoffin Ran missing what was 2404 01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:12,880 Speaker 11: a great look for him, committing what it was a 2405 01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:16,080 Speaker 11: dumb third foul. He goes the bench again you're playing 2406 01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:20,280 Speaker 11: with fire. And then boy Mark Coopete was really really 2407 01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:23,200 Speaker 11: good for Arizona there, And honestly, I didn't think there 2408 01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,240 Speaker 11: was a moment in the final ten minutes where I thought, oh, 2409 01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:27,320 Speaker 11: that goes in for Perdue. They put some game pressure 2410 01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 11: on Arizona. That was that was JV versus varsity. 2411 01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,760 Speaker 13: This second they knocked a shot down, Arizona answered right back, 2412 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:35,320 Speaker 13: there was no way they could counter. 2413 01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:38,320 Speaker 11: So Arizona Michigan again. That'll be the second game coming 2414 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,320 Speaker 11: up on Saturday nights. The first game will be the 2415 01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 11: Huskies of Yukon against Illinois. We've talked about it all 2416 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,599 Speaker 11: morning long, but what a moment there from Brayln Mullens, 2417 01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,839 Speaker 11: one of the biggest blown leads and Elite eight history 2418 01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:53,840 Speaker 11: there by the number one seed of Duke. Mullins had 2419 01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:57,639 Speaker 11: missed his first four to three point attempts on the night, 2420 01:45:58,000 --> 01:45:59,880 Speaker 11: but boyd, not only does he have the wharwithal of 2421 01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,400 Speaker 11: aid a head to Alex Caravan, but then Caraban one 2422 01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,360 Speaker 11: of the most accomplished players in Yukon history. 2423 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:06,840 Speaker 12: He's got the way. I thought it then pass it 2424 01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:07,320 Speaker 12: back to. 2425 01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:11,320 Speaker 11: Mullins who absolutely buries one from about thirty five feet 2426 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:13,240 Speaker 11: and I'm gonna venture to guess there will be a 2427 01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:19,200 Speaker 11: few drive way mimics from Indiana kids today three to 2428 01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,479 Speaker 11: one to send my team to the final four. 2429 01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:24,760 Speaker 13: And then when you clank the Shaisse time out, hold on, 2430 01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:27,200 Speaker 13: there's a player on the field and Stott, we'll do 2431 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:27,639 Speaker 13: this again. 2432 01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:30,599 Speaker 11: Technical foul on yukon right, player ran on the floor. 2433 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 3: I get one more crack out if you know it. 2434 01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:33,880 Speaker 3: I've seen the Dan Hurley mom video. 2435 01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,760 Speaker 12: That is that that fits the description so good. 2436 01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:40,200 Speaker 11: Dan Hurley's mom letting out a few very deserved expletives. 2437 01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,559 Speaker 11: I'm sure she's not one that ever cusses out never right. 2438 01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:46,519 Speaker 11: No had to go to church afterwards to apologize. Watching 2439 01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:48,360 Speaker 11: both their sons on the sideline there. That was a 2440 01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,960 Speaker 11: great video. It's making the rounds on social media. And 2441 01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,080 Speaker 11: Rob Blackman voice the Boilers will put a boat tie 2442 01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,360 Speaker 11: on produced season coming up with him in less than 2443 01:46:56,439 --> 01:47:00,759 Speaker 11: ten minutes. Dating back to this weekend, too very different 2444 01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,439 Speaker 11: games for the Pacers. Friday night was one of the 2445 01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:07,360 Speaker 11: more wilder zero point four second finishes I've ever seen. 2446 01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,639 Speaker 11: As the Pacers lose that one to Kawhi Leonard, Benedict 2447 01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:15,280 Speaker 11: Matheren and company j Huff missing two free throws with 2448 01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:18,720 Speaker 11: point one on the clock there. And then yesterday the 2449 01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,920 Speaker 11: Pacers beat mostly healthy Miami team still trying to fight 2450 01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:25,160 Speaker 11: for a playoff spot. They beat them with their best 2451 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,280 Speaker 11: offensive outing of the season. Pascal Siakam was great, but 2452 01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:32,080 Speaker 11: so was Kobe Martin and Kobe Martin I'm thinking of 2453 01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:35,439 Speaker 11: the IU running back there from fishers Kobe Brown and 2454 01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:37,640 Speaker 11: Michael Potter really good as well off the bench. So 2455 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 11: the Pacers do win, They've got seven games left. For 2456 01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:44,920 Speaker 11: those curious what a win does for their tank standings, 2457 01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,160 Speaker 11: They still, I think are in a pretty comfortable position here. 2458 01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:50,960 Speaker 11: Outside of winning like five of seven or six of 2459 01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:53,439 Speaker 11: seven the rest of the season, I think the Pacers 2460 01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:57,519 Speaker 11: will have the best odds of any team here entering 2461 01:47:57,560 --> 01:47:58,000 Speaker 11: the lottery. 2462 01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:00,240 Speaker 13: Yeah, Siakam averaged almost a point a minute that he 2463 01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:01,680 Speaker 13: was in the game, and then he when they won 2464 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,400 Speaker 13: the season series against Miami took two of three. 2465 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's kind of wild too, took two of three 2466 01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,559 Speaker 11: from the Miami hit heat this season, all right, Recapping 2467 01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:12,439 Speaker 11: what happened inside a gamebridge Field, how so we talked 2468 01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:15,200 Speaker 11: about four a there, the Crown point up ten at 2469 01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 11: half huge comeback. 2470 01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:19,280 Speaker 12: There by Mount Vernon as they win. 2471 01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,120 Speaker 11: Fifty two to fifty with Tyres Halliburton court side, it 2472 01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,320 Speaker 11: was Cathedral over new Haven with a big fourth quarter 2473 01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:27,920 Speaker 11: into that one. New Haven hung in there really well. 2474 01:48:28,040 --> 01:48:32,080 Speaker 11: Julian Smith Keaton Aldridge really good. Owen Peterson for Cathedral 2475 01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,920 Speaker 11: nearly had a double double there. So Jason Delaney wins 2476 01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,280 Speaker 11: yet another state title. I thought the game of the 2477 01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:40,040 Speaker 11: day was Park Heritage over Westview. 2478 01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:40,559 Speaker 14: Boy. 2479 01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:42,160 Speaker 11: I thought that game winner was going in there for 2480 01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:45,400 Speaker 11: Westview there as they had an attempt late driving that 2481 01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:46,920 Speaker 11: ball bounced on the rim a couple of times. 2482 01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:48,160 Speaker 12: Park Heritage won. 2483 01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:50,759 Speaker 11: That in two A and it was bar Reeve winning 2484 01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:54,960 Speaker 11: the one A state title fifty to thirty seven. 2485 01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:57,840 Speaker 12: In high school wise, you said Brayln Mallins high school coach, 2486 01:48:57,880 --> 01:48:58,880 Speaker 12: is going to join us tomorrow. 2487 01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,519 Speaker 11: Yes, thank you for bringing that up.

With some 2572 01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:44,280 Speaker 14: really unusual grouping of five We were because of out 2573 01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,639 Speaker 14: trouble on Dray Coffman, Wren, Matt Painter and the coaching 2574 01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:51,719 Speaker 14: staff was really having to throw out some unique groupings 2575 01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,400 Speaker 14: of five groups that we have not played together all season, 2576 01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,920 Speaker 14: quite frankly, and then you look up and produce up 2577 01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:01,519 Speaker 14: thirty eight to thirty one, like, wow, how did this work? 2578 01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,160 Speaker 14: Although at the time you felt like you ask what 2579 01:53:04,240 --> 01:53:07,200 Speaker 14: it felt like courtside, it felt like that was not sustainable, 2580 01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:11,280 Speaker 14: especially if Trey Kaufman Wren was in foul trouble again 2581 01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:14,200 Speaker 14: in the second half, which unfortunately happened about you know, 2582 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:17,400 Speaker 14: forty five seconds into the half and then it just 2583 01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:19,800 Speaker 14: the bottom kind of fell out, which you kind of 2584 01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:22,400 Speaker 14: could kind of feel it coming again just because of 2585 01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:24,720 Speaker 14: felt like you're playing with house money in that first 2586 01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:29,719 Speaker 14: twenty minutes. So yeah, it was the other thing too, Jeff, 2587 01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:33,000 Speaker 14: I would say, as you sit there courtside and you 2588 01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,760 Speaker 14: looked at the overall athleticism and the size and the 2589 01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:39,240 Speaker 14: strength of Arizona, you find yourself saying, Wow, where do 2590 01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:42,280 Speaker 14: they find these guys? We could use a few of 2591 01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:45,519 Speaker 14: those in wes Lafayette. But a long winded answer there. 2592 01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:48,280 Speaker 14: But at the end of the day, you felt like 2593 01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,600 Speaker 14: what had happened in the first twenty minutes probably was 2594 01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:52,840 Speaker 14: not going to be sustainable in the second twenty and 2595 01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:54,679 Speaker 14: of course, as we found out it wasn't. 2596 01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:57,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, Rob, I feel like in first thank you for 2597 01:53:57,960 --> 01:53:58,280 Speaker 12: the time. 2598 01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:00,720 Speaker 11: I feel like a key sequence there early second half 2599 01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:03,040 Speaker 11: was and tray Coffin Wren missed a shot that he 2600 01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:06,000 Speaker 11: usually hits, you know, I think it was the first possession, 2601 01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:09,280 Speaker 11: maybe produe hat and then committed that third foul. You know, 2602 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:12,320 Speaker 11: you would survived the Jacobson minutes in the first half, 2603 01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:14,080 Speaker 11: it just seemed like you were playing with fire trying 2604 01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:14,599 Speaker 11: to do it again. 2605 01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:16,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was it. 2606 01:54:16,960 --> 01:54:20,200 Speaker 14: And Kevin, you probably explained it probably better than I did. 2607 01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:24,640 Speaker 14: It's exactly how it felt sitting there. You miss that 2608 01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,160 Speaker 14: little floater that Trey has made a thousand times in 2609 01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:32,120 Speaker 14: his career, and then to reach in and foul to 2610 01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:34,760 Speaker 14: figure up that third foul out of frustration after missing 2611 01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,000 Speaker 14: that shot, you just felt like, man, it's not like 2612 01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:40,400 Speaker 14: you felt like it was an impossible task at that point, 2613 01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:42,120 Speaker 14: but you just knew it was going to be an 2614 01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 14: uphill climb because there's no way that Arizona wasn't going 2615 01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:47,080 Speaker 14: to make a run in the second half. You knew 2616 01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:50,520 Speaker 14: it was coming. I mean, look, they've only lost two 2617 01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,440 Speaker 14: games all year. They haven't lost a game since February fourteenth, 2618 01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:57,720 Speaker 14: for gosh sakes, that's Valentine's Day. Okay, they haven't here 2619 01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:00,480 Speaker 14: we are closing in on April. They we haven't lost 2620 01:55:00,520 --> 01:55:03,680 Speaker 14: of games since Valentine's Day. Uh, there's a reason why 2621 01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:05,400 Speaker 14: they're a number one seed in the West and why 2622 01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:07,920 Speaker 14: they're going to the Final four. So you just really 2623 01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:10,000 Speaker 14: felt like you were in big trouble when when Trey 2624 01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:13,440 Speaker 14: picked up that third foul, and yeah, Purdue was in trouble, 2625 01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:15,080 Speaker 14: playing playing that playing that team. 2626 01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:17,520 Speaker 11: He is the play by play voice of the Boilers 2627 01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:18,880 Speaker 11: Purdue Global Radio Network. 2628 01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:21,560 Speaker 12: We always enjoy our chats Rob Blackman, and he's joining. 2629 01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:23,840 Speaker 11: Us here on this Monday morning.

And obviously it's a 2662 01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:55,360 Speaker 14: lot of fun when you when when it's the team 2663 01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:57,320 Speaker 14: you work for that makes the game winner. 2664 01:56:57,760 --> 01:56:57,880 Speaker 4: Uh. 2665 01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:00,440 Speaker 14: I'm thinking about those guys at Duke Ye today on 2666 01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:02,360 Speaker 14: the Duke Radio call. That must not have been much 2667 01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:04,960 Speaker 14: fun for them, they guess they called it a buzzer beater, 2668 01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,080 Speaker 14: but it wasn't for their team, so that those can't 2669 01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:12,160 Speaker 14: be nearly as much fun.

As 2675 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:27,000 Speaker 3: you just on the way home, reflecting on all of 2676 01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:29,919 Speaker 3: the last four years, what were the thoughts that dominated 2677 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:30,400 Speaker 3: your mind? 2678 01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:35,080 Speaker 14: Well, the biggest one, Jeff, is that for this group, 2679 01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:39,560 Speaker 14: and talking about the three seniors specifically to pick themselves 2680 01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,760 Speaker 14: up off the mat after what was just one of 2681 01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:48,880 Speaker 14: the most excruciating, slash slash depressing losses in the history 2682 01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:52,960 Speaker 14: of Purdue basketball, losing to a sixteen seed right out 2683 01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:55,560 Speaker 14: of the gate as freshmen right in the NCAA Tournament. 2684 01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:59,040 Speaker 14: I mean, that is an ugly ward that you feel 2685 01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:03,080 Speaker 14: like you just can never remove. But to their credit 2686 01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:06,440 Speaker 14: to then just immediately get up off the mat and 2687 01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:09,680 Speaker 14: not only go to a Final four the next season, 2688 01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:12,600 Speaker 14: but then just continue to win at the level they won. 2689 01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:14,760 Speaker 14: You know, you go to a Sweet sixteen after that 2690 01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:17,440 Speaker 14: the following season, you go to an elite eighth, and 2691 01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:19,440 Speaker 14: you look back at all of it when it's all 2692 01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:23,760 Speaker 14: said and done. Two Big Ten regular season championships, two 2693 01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:26,640 Speaker 14: Big Ten tournament championships. They are the all time winning 2694 01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:28,560 Speaker 14: this class in the history of Purdue basketball. 2695 01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:29,320 Speaker 4: They won an. 2696 01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:32,600 Speaker 14: Average of twenty nine games a season. To me, that's 2697 01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:34,040 Speaker 14: the most amazing number. And there are a lot of 2698 01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,080 Speaker 14: amazing numbers they put up to average twenty nine wins 2699 01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:40,200 Speaker 14: a year over your four years. You know, pardusially had 2700 01:58:40,240 --> 01:58:43,680 Speaker 14: three thirty game winners in the history of the program, 2701 01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:46,120 Speaker 14: and they were part of two of them, two of 2702 01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:46,480 Speaker 14: the three. 2703 01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:49,000 Speaker 4: So as far as. 2704 01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:52,240 Speaker 14: Thirty win seasons. So but yes, the first thing that 2705 01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 14: probably will always come to mind is that it just 2706 01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,880 Speaker 14: started off so awfully for them. So I mean, I 2707 01:58:57,920 --> 01:58:59,920 Speaker 14: don't know how it could start any worse, quite frankly 2708 01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,600 Speaker 14: than losing to a sixteen seed right out of the 2709 01:59:02,640 --> 01:59:05,320 Speaker 14: gate as freshmen and then, like I said, to get 2710 01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,280 Speaker 14: up off the mat and have the careers that they 2711 01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:11,800 Speaker 14: end up having. It is, yes, the individual numbers are 2712 01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:15,360 Speaker 14: they are where they are, especially for Braden Smith when 2713 01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:17,200 Speaker 14: you consider the incredible numbers he put. 2714 01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:17,360 Speaker 4: Up, But. 2715 01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:23,280 Speaker 14: Just as a group, from where they started to where 2716 01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:25,960 Speaker 14: they ended up, that to me is the hell of 2717 01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:26,440 Speaker 14: a story. 2718 01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:28,800 Speaker 11: And the voice of the Boilers, Rob Blackman, He's with 2719 01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:31,800 Speaker 11: the sea on the payloss slickers hotline, Robbie, look at 2720 01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:34,920 Speaker 11: these Elite eights. You know you go back to obviously 2721 01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,760 Speaker 11: the Ryan Klein Carson Edwards team. You know you lose 2722 01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:41,400 Speaker 11: just in beyond excru shading fashion to Virginia of course, 2723 01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:44,280 Speaker 11: the national runner up more than Elite eight a couple 2724 01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:47,000 Speaker 11: of years ago with Yukon. I think there's a case 2725 01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:49,800 Speaker 11: to be made that the third time will be a 2726 01:59:49,920 --> 01:59:53,160 Speaker 11: national champion who ended Purdue season. I think Arizona could 2727 01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:56,000 Speaker 11: very well be on their way. When you look at 2728 01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 11: those three different Purdue teams, you know, they are three 2729 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:04,160 Speaker 11: different teams. Is it the Virginia one that stings the 2730 02:00:04,320 --> 02:00:07,680 Speaker 11: most just because of how close it was? Had a 2731 02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:11,840 Speaker 11: feeling obviously of Duke Yukon yesterday in my opinion, Or 2732 02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:14,920 Speaker 11: do you point to, you know, a different year, you know, 2733 02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:16,720 Speaker 11: the fact you got to a national title another year, 2734 02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:18,720 Speaker 11: or even this past year, given that it was the 2735 02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:20,680 Speaker 11: makeup of a senior class that I don't think we'll 2736 02:00:20,680 --> 02:00:23,320 Speaker 11: see for a long long time in all of college basketball. 2737 02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:27,360 Speaker 14: Yeah, Kevin, thanks for asking, because to me, it's much 2738 02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,440 Speaker 14: more personal, and it is the Virginia loss that will 2739 02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:34,080 Speaker 14: always hurt the most. And I said because that was 2740 02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:36,320 Speaker 14: the last year with Kliz on the play by play 2741 02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:40,200 Speaker 14: Larry clise meet By Probably most of your listeners would 2742 02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:42,960 Speaker 14: know this, but Larry Cliseby, the longtime radio voice of 2743 02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:44,480 Speaker 14: Purdue basketball, the guy I worked with. 2744 02:00:44,520 --> 02:00:47,120 Speaker 4: For fifteen years who passed away. 2745 02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:51,120 Speaker 14: Well, it's been five years ago February, I guess anyway, 2746 02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:55,520 Speaker 14: that was Cliz was not well at that time. He 2747 02:00:55,680 --> 02:01:00,520 Speaker 14: had both both lung cancer and brain cancer, and everyone, 2748 02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:03,800 Speaker 14: even those that weren't on the inside, knew that this 2749 02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:07,200 Speaker 14: is going to be his final season twenty nineteen. So 2750 02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:09,400 Speaker 14: that in CLIs had never got into a Final four 2751 02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:12,040 Speaker 14: with Purdue. So to be that close literally to be 2752 02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:14,560 Speaker 14: three tenths of a second away from going to the 2753 02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:18,640 Speaker 14: final four from more importantly getting close to the final four, right, 2754 02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:21,560 Speaker 14: that was the That's what we'll always make that one 2755 02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:26,440 Speaker 14: sting the most, without question. And again that's me personally. 2756 02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:30,560 Speaker 14: I'm sure fans might have a different answer because they 2757 02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:32,760 Speaker 14: didn't have the personal attachment there that I did from 2758 02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:37,520 Speaker 14: an emotional standpoint. But yeah, that's the one twenty nineteen 2759 02:01:37,640 --> 02:01:41,240 Speaker 14: will well that will nothing will ever change that I 2760 02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:45,160 Speaker 14: can't imagine just because it again, we got Clized so 2761 02:01:45,320 --> 02:01:48,520 Speaker 14: close to the final four, but couldn't couldn't get to 2762 02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:49,400 Speaker 14: the finish line there. 2763 02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:52,080 Speaker 3: And Rob, Matt's been so good. Matt Pater's been so 2764 02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:55,240 Speaker 3: good about rebuilding and reloading and moving forward and keeping 2765 02:01:55,280 --> 02:01:58,240 Speaker 3: this thing rolling at a level where you are thought 2766 02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:00,480 Speaker 3: to be a contender year in and year out. You 2767 02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:03,080 Speaker 3: expect that to just continue right right on. 2768 02:02:04,120 --> 02:02:06,640 Speaker 4: I do, uh, And I think that's the beauty of it. 2769 02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:08,040 Speaker 14: It's both the beauty and the curse. 2770 02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:08,760 Speaker 4: You guys know this. 2771 02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:12,400 Speaker 14: You've been around sports long enough. You know the expectation 2772 02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:17,800 Speaker 14: level has been raised immensely with Purdue basketball. It's no 2773 02:02:17,960 --> 02:02:19,800 Speaker 14: longer about well, you know, can you get to the 2774 02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:22,040 Speaker 14: second weekend? You know, I think Purdue has proven that 2775 02:02:22,640 --> 02:02:24,839 Speaker 14: getting to the second weekend now in the NCAA Tournament, 2776 02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,680 Speaker 14: that's that's you just that's come to be expected. That 2777 02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:31,080 Speaker 14: that that's you know, that's the baseline for what should 2778 02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:35,640 Speaker 14: be happening with Purdue basketball. So uh, to me, and 2779 02:02:35,800 --> 02:02:38,120 Speaker 14: I know, you know, some fans might get worked up 2780 02:02:38,120 --> 02:02:41,120 Speaker 14: about about it, but to me, that that that that's 2781 02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:44,160 Speaker 14: you know, that's the that's the ultimate compliment. If your 2782 02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:46,440 Speaker 14: fans are angry that you didn't get to the final four, 2783 02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:49,960 Speaker 14: every single year. Uh, then that is the ultimate compliment 2784 02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:50,560 Speaker 14: because you have. 2785 02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:52,640 Speaker 4: Raised the bar now to a level where that's that 2786 02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:53,320 Speaker 4: is what is. 2787 02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:57,560 Speaker 14: Expected and what when, what what should be happening? So uh, 2788 02:02:57,640 --> 02:02:59,840 Speaker 14: you look at the incoming recruiting class so that that 2789 02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:03,640 Speaker 14: painters put together most of the publications that follow that 2790 02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:05,680 Speaker 14: kind of stuff have it in certainly in the top 2791 02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:09,000 Speaker 14: ten in the nation for incoming guys. Is going to 2792 02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:12,320 Speaker 14: add a what looks to be a pretty important piece 2793 02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:15,960 Speaker 14: in Caden Pierce, Alex Pierce's younger brother. The transfer, so 2794 02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:18,520 Speaker 14: it'll be a pre due next season. So yeah, I 2795 02:03:18,600 --> 02:03:22,520 Speaker 14: don't look it's going to be tough to replace this 2796 02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:25,520 Speaker 14: group of three, without question when you look at the 2797 02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:28,320 Speaker 14: overall numbers they put up. But again, when you have 2798 02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,600 Speaker 14: raised the expectation level to where it is now, then 2799 02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:34,600 Speaker 14: then guess what you expect. You're expected to make a 2800 02:03:34,640 --> 02:03:37,080 Speaker 14: deep run again next year, So that that's where the 2801 02:03:37,320 --> 02:03:39,880 Speaker 14: expectation level is. And quite frankly, I'd much rather have 2802 02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:42,840 Speaker 14: it that way than then the other way. So but 2803 02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,120 Speaker 14: you know what they say, Let's let's reload and try 2804 02:03:46,160 --> 02:03:46,880 Speaker 14: again next year. 2805 02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:50,280 Speaker 11: Rob, if I could sneak in one to one final one, 2806 02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:53,600 Speaker 11: is there any hope for a six year with oscar 2807 02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:57,000 Speaker 11: cloth And I get that trying to predict eligibility decisions 2808 02:03:57,040 --> 02:03:59,120 Speaker 11: by the NCAA is like me trying to predict if 2809 02:03:59,120 --> 02:04:01,080 Speaker 11: my kids are going to wake up happy or sad today. 2810 02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:04,160 Speaker 12: So it's probably a stupid question, but I feel like 2811 02:04:04,200 --> 02:04:05,480 Speaker 12: there was some discussion about that. 2812 02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:07,760 Speaker 4: No, it's a fair question. 2813 02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:12,520 Speaker 14: The problem is, if you talk to twelve people that 2814 02:04:13,400 --> 02:04:16,520 Speaker 14: would consider themselves experts on the subject, six of them 2815 02:04:16,560 --> 02:04:18,920 Speaker 14: are going to tell you he has a great chance 2816 02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:20,840 Speaker 14: of getting that sixth year, and the other six are 2817 02:04:20,880 --> 02:04:21,120 Speaker 14: going to. 2818 02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:22,160 Speaker 4: Tell you no way in hell. 2819 02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:26,480 Speaker 14: So I tag you that with one hundred percent honesty, 2820 02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:29,120 Speaker 14: because I've asked at least a dozen people who I 2821 02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:32,640 Speaker 14: believe are pretty knowledgeable on the subject, and everyone I've asked, 2822 02:04:32,680 --> 02:04:34,600 Speaker 14: every other one I should say I've asked, has had 2823 02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:38,040 Speaker 14: a different answer. So no, I do not know, but 2824 02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:41,920 Speaker 14: let's all be very honest with each other here. It 2825 02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:44,560 Speaker 14: sure would go a long way to Purdue being able 2826 02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:48,280 Speaker 14: to have another great season next year if if indeed, 2827 02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:51,960 Speaker 14: he's granted another year of eligibility, Because I would argue, 2828 02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:53,640 Speaker 14: and I think I said this even on the radio 2829 02:04:54,360 --> 02:04:57,040 Speaker 14: in this little run that Purdue put together in March 2830 02:04:57,080 --> 02:04:59,600 Speaker 14: where they won seven in a row before losing to Arizona. 2831 02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:02,120 Speaker 14: You could make a pretty valid argument that the most 2832 02:05:02,160 --> 02:05:07,440 Speaker 14: consistent player that whole time was Oscar Kluff. So he Yeah, 2833 02:05:07,520 --> 02:05:11,040 Speaker 14: that'd be a really valuable piece if the nc get 2834 02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:13,320 Speaker 14: folks of the NCAA would allow him to play one 2835 02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:15,320 Speaker 14: one more year in West Laviet. 2836 02:05:16,240 --> 02:05:19,040 Speaker 3: It would be fun for everybody who's a boiler Maker follower. 2837 02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:19,280 Speaker 4: Rob. 2838 02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:21,400 Speaker 3: As always, we really appreciate you getting up early and 2839 02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:23,360 Speaker 3: spending time with us.

Like 2859 02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:12,520 Speaker 11: I feel like with Matt Paynter and Purdue, you just 2860 02:06:13,200 --> 02:06:16,120 Speaker 11: believe that they'll figure it out. You know, again, if 2861 02:06:16,120 --> 02:06:17,960 Speaker 11: you look at the three Elite eight teams here over 2862 02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:21,640 Speaker 11: the last six years, seven years, whatever it is, Carson Edwards, 2863 02:06:21,760 --> 02:06:25,200 Speaker 11: Ryan Klein and Grady Eiffert, Matt Harms and OJL Easterns 2864 02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:27,000 Speaker 11: a lot different than Zach Edy, is a lot different 2865 02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:29,640 Speaker 11: than you know, Braden Smith, Fletcher Lawyer and Trey Coffman Wren. 2866 02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,880 Speaker 11: So you know, three very different teams. So now having 2867 02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:35,520 Speaker 11: said that, you are losing a ton, I mean you're 2868 02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:38,680 Speaker 11: I mean Braiden Smith and Fletcher Lawyer started every single 2869 02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:41,400 Speaker 11: game in a Predue uniform. 2870 02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:44,000 Speaker 12: Like that's insane. 2871 02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:45,560 Speaker 3: Doesn't happen just and it's. 2872 02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:48,840 Speaker 11: Not going to happen in college basketball here moving forward 2873 02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:52,880 Speaker 11: really at all in my opinion, So got to replace 2874 02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:55,840 Speaker 11: a lot. But you know, on paper, they definitely have 2875 02:06:56,040 --> 02:06:58,200 Speaker 11: some pieces, and you know, they have a coach that 2876 02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:01,360 Speaker 11: I think ninety eight percent of college basketball programs would 2877 02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:02,520 Speaker 11: do a lot for. 2878 02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:04,600 Speaker 3: All Right, coming up at a moment, one more reflection 2879 02:07:04,720 --> 02:07:06,160 Speaker 3: on the weekend that was.

As we continue 2881 02:07:09,240 --> 02:07:13,000 Speaker 3: next it's ninety three five and one oh seven. We've 2882 02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:15,320 Speaker 3: been very spoiled over the last couple of weeks with 2883 02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,560 Speaker 3: great sporting events almost on every night, whether it's a 2884 02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:23,120 Speaker 3: NANCAA tournament game featuring Perdue or just the Pacers, or 2885 02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:27,040 Speaker 3: just opening day in baseball or anything.

I'll say it right now. 2990 02:11:35,200 --> 02:11:37,080 Speaker 3: They went out and tried to get themselves better than 2991 02:11:37,080 --> 02:11:38,480 Speaker 3: they were last year. In the offseas. 2992 02:11:38,480 --> 02:11:39,760 Speaker 12: They're getting stopped by somebody. 2993 02:11:40,040 --> 02:11:44,000 Speaker 3: I don't know who. Someone's stopping them.

I mean, my bracket. 2999 02:11:53,480 --> 02:11:54,280 Speaker 12: I picked Arizona. 3000 02:11:54,320 --> 02:11:58,000 Speaker 11: I don't really care necessarily about that anymore, But I 3001 02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:01,840 Speaker 11: don't know. Tommy Lloyd seems somewhat likable. I again, I'm 3002 02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:03,920 Speaker 11: not in this camp. I don't really understand the people 3003 02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:05,640 Speaker 11: that are like, oh, let's go Big ten. 3004 02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:07,960 Speaker 12: I'm not you know, I don't really your rivals. 3005 02:12:08,200 --> 02:12:10,920 Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't. I've always kind of scratched my head 3006 02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:12,840 Speaker 11: of that. I don't know, are preduing Indiana fans really 3007 02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:15,040 Speaker 11: cheering for Illinois and Michigan? Like is that a thing? 3008 02:12:15,360 --> 02:12:15,800 Speaker 11: I might get? 3009 02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:18,880 Speaker 12: Dan Hurley's not very cheerable for No, But. 3010 02:12:18,920 --> 02:12:21,480 Speaker 3: It's hard to root against Mwens though you're not rooting 3011 02:12:21,560 --> 02:12:22,200 Speaker 3: vine our Colts. 3012 02:12:22,200 --> 02:12:24,040 Speaker 13: Fans rooting for the Texans of the Titans in the 3013 02:12:24,080 --> 02:12:25,680 Speaker 13: playoffs now usually not Yeah. 3014 02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:28,680 Speaker 11: You know, Mark, just let's go NFC North, let's go 3015 02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:32,320 Speaker 11: come on Packers, let's go No way. It's always been 3016 02:12:32,680 --> 02:12:36,000 Speaker 11: rather walk into traffic, very confusing to me. Yeah, I'd 3017 02:12:36,080 --> 02:12:37,840 Speaker 11: rather literally, you know, be on the exit ramp to 3018 02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:41,560 Speaker 11: BUCkies than do that. But I do think we could 3019 02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:43,880 Speaker 11: be set up for some just unbelievable matchups. And when 3020 02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,120 Speaker 11: you think about it, Arizona Michigan have been an absolute 3021 02:12:47,320 --> 02:12:50,200 Speaker 11: freight train all year long, and then you look at 3022 02:12:50,240 --> 02:12:53,000 Speaker 11: the first game and it's an Illinois team that has 3023 02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:57,080 Speaker 11: had offensive fire power really unlike any other we've seen 3024 02:12:57,520 --> 02:12:58,839 Speaker 11: this year in college basketball. 3025 02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:01,440 Speaker 12: Like even in their losses they did lose it. 3026 02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:04,720 Speaker 11: You know, a few games there in February and the 3027 02:13:04,840 --> 02:13:06,960 Speaker 11: lost to Wisconsin the Bigton Tournament, but like those losses 3028 02:13:06,960 --> 02:13:09,600 Speaker 11: aren't overtime, you know, and they're still putting up just 3029 02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:12,320 Speaker 11: huge point totals. And then Yukon, it's a little bit 3030 02:13:12,320 --> 02:13:15,640 Speaker 11: of like you know, the old Street Fighter analogy. You know, 3031 02:13:15,720 --> 02:13:19,560 Speaker 11: you really really got to, you know, kill them, Frankly, 3032 02:13:19,760 --> 02:13:22,800 Speaker 11: and Dan Hurley's obviously been there and done that at 3033 02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:26,840 Speaker 11: extraordinarily extraordinary level. From the inn Sate Tournament. These two 3034 02:13:26,840 --> 02:13:28,960 Speaker 11: teams did play back. I think it was a day 3035 02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:30,800 Speaker 11: after Thanksgiving. You kind of did win that game. 3036 02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:31,800 Speaker 3: Now, a long time ago. 3037 02:13:31,880 --> 02:13:33,680 Speaker 11: You know, Keaton Woggle had three points in that game, 3038 02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:36,320 Speaker 11: so I tend to think he's a little different freshman now. 3039 02:13:36,440 --> 02:13:37,480 Speaker 3: But I can't wait. 3040 02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:39,480 Speaker 11: I think it should be absolute rock and hope the 3041 02:13:39,560 --> 02:13:42,240 Speaker 11: weather's good for kind of the outdoor concerts and fan 3042 02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:44,320 Speaker 11: activations we've got here. 3043 02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:46,960 Speaker 12: But you know, both those matchups should just be outstanding. 3044 02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:47,560 Speaker 12: On Saturday. 3045 02:13:47,640 --> 02:13:49,640 Speaker 3: Speaking of that, I've got two tickets to the twenty 3046 02:13:49,680 --> 02:13:52,200 Speaker 3: twenty six State Farm College Slam Dunk and three Point 3047 02:13:52,280 --> 02:13:57,120 Speaker 3: Championships available coming up on Friday, April third, inside hinkle Fieldhouse. 3048 02:13:58,000 --> 02:13:59,560 Speaker 3: All you got to do is check us out all 3049 02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:02,120 Speaker 3: week long for your chance to win.
