1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 2: In another Tuesday edition go for Basketball Weekly with Nico Medvet.

Speaker 2: as it is each and every Tuesday. Mike Grim is

Speaker 2: my name. The head coach is Nico Medved Hello to you, sir.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 3: It's going on today microphone.

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 4: There you go. Now you can hear mouth Yeah, not

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 4: that loud, no JG. Today.

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: He is in the process of taping the TV show

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: this week, which will feature I think you and Don

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: go every other week or something with TV. So Don

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: flitz Awhite chose now to record that show, so we

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: don't get JG. But we'll watch the show on Fox nine,

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: I suppose. But that doesn't mean you and I can't

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 2: have a good time today with everybody.

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's good not to have that third wheel, no doubt.

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: Third wheels can sometimes ruin the show, right, exactly, yeah, exactly.

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: Well let's talk some Golden Gopher basketball here. What a

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: stretch you and I I think I'm not I think

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: I can say this. You and I were freezing standing

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: on the tarmac coming back from that pinn State game,

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: waiting for our luggage to come off the plane and

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: you looked at me and you said, out of these

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: seven games, even even just to have something going, you're

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: gonna luck into a win somewhere. And yet, unfortunately, and again,

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: some of it's playing, some of it's this, some of

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: it's luck. Whatever it is. What a stretch you've not

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: been through. You mentioned, I've not been through something like

30
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: this before. Yeah, every every year you do this.

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: You know, when you think you've seen it all, something happens.

32
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: It's what keeps the job interesting.

33
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: And but yeah, it's been a really bizarre year that way.

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: And while I'm I'm I've been really pleased to see

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: how our guys just continue to battle and give themselves

36
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: opportunities to win, it's been really hard to watch us,

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: you know, not find a way to come out on

38
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: top of so many of these close games.

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right.

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: In some ways you would think that nothing would have changed,

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: but just every once in a while we might have

42
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: got a call or a ball would have bounced our way,

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: and maybe one.

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: Of these but hey, that is what it is.

45
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: You know, you start going down that trap and feel

46
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: like your snake bit and you can't do that. You've

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: just got to keep going here and battling, and we

48
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: just got to find a way to make a few

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: more plays.

50
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's weird through this stretch too. Sometimes when

51
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: you're in a tough stretch, teams haven't learned how to

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: win or what have you, and they will turn the

53
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: ball over, make a costly mistake. You guys have actually

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: late in games, had shots to win, shots to tie.

55
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: Some have gone in, some haven't. I mean, it hasn't

56
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: been like you've just choked these games or kicked it away.

57
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: You've been in position, You've put your guys in position.

58
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: Think about these seven games. Three have been overtime. Two

59
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: games separate from those three games have been buzzer beaters

60
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: on the wrong end of it. And then the other

61
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: two have been against top ten teams, one on the road,

62
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: one at home where you were leading or tied at halftime,

63
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: and then in it at Illinois up until you know,

64
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: the last four minutes. So it's just one of those

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: weird stretches where you've put yourself in spots. You had

66
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: four shots over the course of the seven games that

67
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: if any of the four go in, you win at

68
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: least one of the games.

69
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and it's hindsight's twenty twenty and haven't

70
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: said that. I think we've done a lot of things

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: right in these games, but we just haven't done enough right.

72
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: You know, the game the other night at Penn State,

73
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: I thought our guys handled those last two and a

74
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: half minutes really really well. You know, we were able

75
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: to switch to the press score quick, We manage that

76
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: pretty well. We just had again a key defensive breakdown

77
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: that maybe we just get one more stop, or we

78
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: make one more free throw. You know. You think in

79
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: that situation at the I Lanks and played terrific in

80
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: the game, but it ended up being tied with you know,

81
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: eighteen seconds to go. If we make that one and

82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: we're up one, they have to shoot it quick, yeah,

83
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: you know, because they're not hole for one.

84
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: And then and then if.

85
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: They shoot it quick for that let's say that shot

86
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: comes off and we get it foul, maybe we can

87
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: take control of the game. Or even if they score

88
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: it quick, we still have the last shot.

89
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: You know.

90
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: So there's all those things that that end up happening.

91
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: So again we've got to find a way to get

92
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: over the top. But to your point, they are doing

93
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: a lot of right things in these situations, just not

94
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: quite enough right things.

95
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: And we've talked about your competitive nature, so I know

96
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: it stings to lose. How hard is it when you're

97
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, you have a stretch like this to also though,

98
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: take the thirty thousand foot view of hey, they're playing hard.

99
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 4: And I know you're not a moral victory guy.

100
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm asking you to talk about, but

101
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: just that balancing act from you know, not wanting to

102
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: handle losing very well, but also understanding what maybe you're

103
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: up against depth wise and injury wise, and yet playing

104
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: tough games.

105
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: You know, I don't take any of the loss as well.

106
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: The last two have been particularly hard for me, you know,

107
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 3: so it takes me an evening, you know, of getting

108
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: perspective and trying to come back and keep going.

109
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: But no, I don't.

110
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: I don't take it well. I'm we talked about it.

111
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not asking me if I'm into moral victories.

112
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: But you just cannot allow yourself to buy into oh

113
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: we're snake bitting. No nothing, it's just not going to

114
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: go our way this year, or we're unlucky, or blame

115
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: the refs or blame you just you start doing that

116
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: you're just asking, you know, giving yourself an excuse essentially

117
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: to not just so you can't buy into any of that.

118
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: You just got to keep going. You've got to control

119
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: what you can control.

120
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: It sounds redundant, but that's really the only choice you have,

121
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: and to their credit, they keep doing that. And how

122
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: can we find a way to get over the hump?

123
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: I swear sometimes it just takes one of those kind

124
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: of going your way and then next thing you know,

125
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: you can really get on a run. And it's not

126
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: all of a sudden the tables start to turn.

127
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 6: It.

128
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, Big ten especially, I've noticed that I've talked about that,

129
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: you know, anyone who's listened to me on a regular basis.

130
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: It goes both ways, right you, even we're seeing it.

131
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: Purdue loses one. Guess what they lose a second. Nebraska

132
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: hadn't lost, they lose one, they lose a second. That

133
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: is the nature of the Big ten. And it's not

134
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: even a confidence thing. It just sometimes you lose an

135
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: edge for a second. On the flip side, if you're

136
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: on a streak like the Gophers are on right now,

137
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: you get a win. Number two might come right away.

138
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: Number three could follow it. You just don't know, But

139
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: there is a streaky nature to conference. Well, I mean

140
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: you look at Penn State.

141
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: I mean, everyone's like, well, gosh, they haven't won a

142
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: game in the league, but they took Michigan and Michigan

143
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: State down to the wire at their place. They'd been

144
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: in a bunch of these games. You knew they were

145
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: going to be desperate for a win. Our margin for

146
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: error is really small. We had every you know, we

147
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: thought that was going to be a dogfight of a game,

148
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: you know, And I say that the last two and

149
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: a half minutes we managed well, but we didn't play

150
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: well enough for the first thirty seven, you know. And

151
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: it's kind of tricky. Their big kid was a late

152
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: scratch twenty minutes before tip. He's a good player for them,

153
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: kind of a traditional five. Well, it kind of honestly

154
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: changed the way they played. And then obviously a lot

155
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: of what we practiced for two days is not really

156
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: what they did. And that's not an excuse of just

157
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: we have to make an adjustment quickly, and they kind

158
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: of were able to spread us out a little bit

159
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: too much and beat us off the dribble. We didn't

160
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: adjust well enough on the fly. Then they got going.

161
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: Then they made tough shots. You know. Then you play

162
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: good defense, they make a tough shot. But that's the

163
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: way it goes. You got to find a way still

164
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: to make a few more plays, and we just had

165
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: too many breakdowns defensively in that first thirty seven minutes.

166
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: So yes, the last two and a half, but you

167
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: play forty yeah, you know, and every possession counts, And.

168
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: They did hit some shots. Even the game winning shot

169
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: was a tough shot. I thought Jalen cracker Johnson had

170
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: it walled up pretty well. He looked like he was

171
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: in a heap of trouble. He used to step through

172
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: at live. I thought it was a travel. Watching the replay,

173
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: I think by the letter of the law, it's a

174
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: nice step through move. Certainly in the NBA, it's not

175
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: a travel, and it is what it is. But even

176
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: that play, you know, if that play runs ten times,

177
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how many he makes, but he happened

178
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: to hit that one that counted.

179
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and give give him credit.

180
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: You know, they put themselves in position to win the game,

181
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: and then they made the play they needed to and

182
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: so yeah, it's unfortunate. Again, I thought Jalen did defend

183
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: it really, really well. The kid made a nice move,

184
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: and I agree, Like you could nitpick and say, oh,

185
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: he slid his pivot foot or whatever, but it was,

186
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: you know, pretty good footwork. They're not going to call

187
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: a travel in that in that situation, so you have

188
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: to your tip your hat to him.

189
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: The kid made a great play.

190
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And when I saw it live, I thought he

191
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: got an extra step. I thought he actually took the

192
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: pivot foot step, but the foot didn't land by the

193
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: time the ball was out watching the So it turns

194
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: out that that uh, you know, it's it's probably a

195
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: pretty good play by him, and it puts him up

196
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: to win the game. So it's it's another one of

197
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: those gut punches.

198
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: So how is the.

199
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Team, you know, handling this part of it. You've talked

200
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: about how you're trying to handle a little bit.

201
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: How about your guys, I mean, geez, you know, you

202
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: come in the next day and you know, he got

203
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: on some of the guys kind of hard after the

204
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: game about just some of the mental airs we made.

205
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: And but they like every day, man like, they come

206
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: back and they've had a great attitude. They've responded. I mean,

207
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: they stay together. You know, we talk a lot about

208
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: you don't play the blame game. You play the responsibility game.

209
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: We don't have anybody who blames or points fingers. That's

210
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: just it's like playing Monopoly, Yeah right, just to blame

211
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: you, you blame me. It's just that never it never ends right,

212
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: and it's just a dark place to go to. So

213
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: these guys do a great job of taking, you know,

214
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: taking responsibility. And you know, like I got on on

215
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: on Crock after the game, you know, and and he

216
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: U I thought in the first half if he made

217
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: some defensive mistakes he normally doesn't make. And I got

218
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: on after the game. When I watched the film, it

219
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: probably wasn't as bad as I thought. But you know,

220
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 3: I went to him the next day and I'm like,

221
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 3: you know, maybe I don't regret what I said, but

222
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: maybe I was a little too hard on you.

223
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: You know, you weren't perfect. He's like, nah, I needed that.

224
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 4: I was. I was bad, Like I need to be better,

225
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: and I just love that.

226
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: I mean, all great players I've been around, that's what

227
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: they do, Like they know I need to be better.

228
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: And you know, to who much is given, much is expected.

229
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: And when you're a veteran guy and whatever, and you

230
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: play at a certain level. That's the expectation, right, And

231
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: my job as a coach is always to hold you

232
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: to your highest standard.

233
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: And if you don't want that, you're in the wrong program.

234
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: But these guys, they respond, they keep coming back, and

235
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: if they do that, I swear to goodness, you know

236
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: something good will happen for him.

237
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: Early too, the three was open, but it wasn't falling,

238
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: and so sometimes that can zap energy or what have you.

239
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: But you were getting good looks. They were open.

240
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: So I think I asked you this a few weeks

241
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: ago on another game where maybe they didn't go. You want,

242
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: you want good shooters to take shots, right if they're open,

243
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: and Toddle.

244
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 7: I don't know.

245
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 3: We took twenty seven threes. I would say twenty four

246
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: of them you have to take. I thought they were open.

247
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: Just that's basketball. Though sometimes it just weren't weren't going

248
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: in early. And but but despite that, I mean, guys,

249
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: we shot seventy percent in the second half, so you know,

250
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: that wasn't the issue in the game. Would have been

251
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 3: nice to make a few more perimeter shots, but that

252
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: wasn't the issue. We just needed to find a way

253
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: to slow them down a little bit more.

254
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: It looked too though, like in the second half, Langston especially,

255
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: but others as well. We're starting to try to get downhill.

256
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: I think I'm still I think I had to double

257
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: triple quadruple check. I'm not very good at math, especially

258
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 2: live on the air. But I think you were twenty

259
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: for twenty four from two point range. That's right, seventy.

260
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: What is it again, trying to do math lives.

261
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 4: Well, I can't do the math in my head. I

262
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: just know that's good. That's good. Twenty for twenty four

263
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 4: is good.

264
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: Two yeah, So whatever it says analytically, that's really good.

265
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 4: That's hard to do.

266
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: So No, we were really good again attack and again

267
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: the offense was not the issue the other night at

268
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: Penn State.

269
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: How did Caid come out of it?

270
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: Because it's one good you mentioned he practiced the day before,

271
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: responded well, but you never know, right, ankles are tricky.

272
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: Plays gives you good minutes feeling. He was good. Yeah,

273
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 4: I thought he did.

274
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 3: I thought he'd really really well responded and was fine

275
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: after the game, and so I don't see any issues

276
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: with him moving forward here.

277
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it didn't look I mean easy for me

278
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: to say is watching it from afar, but it didn't

279
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: look like the ankle limited him much. It looked like

280
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: he was pretty much full steam ahead. No, And like

281
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: I said, I mean this time of year, no one's

282
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: one hundred percent.

283
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: Everyone's got nicks and bruises and sore and whatever. But no,

284
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 3: I think he responded well, and I don't think it

285
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: limited him in any way other than maybe just a

286
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: little bit of stiffness. But I think he was able

287
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: to try to play the way he wanted to.

288
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys had to navigate a little foul trouble. Reynolds

289
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: got early couple, kid then got a couple, and at

290
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: the end you had to kind of do the offense

291
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: for defense with Kaid because look, if that game goes

292
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: to overtime, you're gonna want, you know, a number ten

293
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: in the game. So talk about kind of how you

294
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: have to as a staff make sure that you've got

295
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: guys available at the right time.

296
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: Two things going on there. I think, yeah, you're doing

297
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: a little bit of that. But also I thought we

298
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: were better defensively with Grayson on the floor in that

299
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: so I thought he played pretty good defense. I thought

300
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: he played really good defense at Wisconsin, So I just

301
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: thought we were better defensively with him in the game.

302
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: With him and Crock there, defensively, we're better offensively. The

303
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: other was sort of just trying to do a little

304
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: offense to defense substitution there when when we were pressing

305
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: what for.

306
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: Him in terms of his progress talking now about Grayson

307
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: grow from Alexandria, Minnesota, his the nature of his the

308
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: way he's able to block shots.

309
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: There's a skill to it, but there's also the.

310
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: Point where the rest will get you if you start

311
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: coming down, and he has been it looks to me

312
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: really good staying straight and walling up as they say,

313
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: and getting some nice defensive stops.

314
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's doing better. I think, you know, defense starts

315
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: with anticipation. He's doing a great job of anticipating what's

316
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: going to happen. You know, we call, like he said,

317
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: hands to the lights, reach for the lights on contact,

318
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: having a strong chest, and so I think he's getting

319
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 3: a lot better at that second one to leave the floor.

320
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: He can get up and challenge. He's a pretty good

321
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 3: vertical athlete, you know, able to is pretty quick off

322
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: the floor on that way, and his energy level has

323
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: been great. But I think as he's the game slowing

324
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: down for him on defense, he's anticipating better what puts

325
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: him in the right spots, and now he's able to

326
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: make a few more plays.

327
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: All right, let's take our first break.

Speaker 2: I know at the time, because we were sitting right

467
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: next to you, you felt as if the shooter there

468
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: may have stuck his legout, which would have been an offensive.

469
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 3: Foe in the situation. At the time, I thought it

470
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: clearly was. I thought he kicked out his leg. It's

471
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: a borderline dangerous play. Uh, And of course he makes it.

472
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: You know, we were still ahead at that point in time.

473
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: I was pretty upset voiced my you know, displeasure with

474
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: the officials. I hadn't seen the replay yet the staff did.

475
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 3: The staff too, like, oh, clearly, you know, sort of

476
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: been an offensive foul. Officials kept arguing, they said they

477
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: watched the tape and they thought it was a foul.

478
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 4: Well then the next day, you know, I get a

479
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 4: call from.

480
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 3: The head of officials and I and I really respect him.

481
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 3: He says, you know, you're not going to like what

482
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: I have to say, but I just, uh, you know,

483
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 3: I felt like I needed to tell you. It's like, yeah,

484
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: we reviewed it and it was clearly an offensive foul

485
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: and the basket shouldn't have counted, you know, So it

486
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: should have been.

487
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 4: A foul on Braden Carrington.

488
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: The basket shouldn't have been shouldn't have counted, And doesn't

489
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: make you feel any better, you know about it, But

490
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 3: at least it's nice to know you were right. Yes

491
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 3: in a while, you know, and they were wrong. But yeah,

492
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 3: it's it's too bad things don't don't go your way,

493
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: you know. All the time it feels like and some

494
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: of these you know, man, you're maybe there's ebbs and

495
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: flows to it. You'll hopefully get a break at one point.

496
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And from that standpoint, it is odd to me

497
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: that they went and looked one. It wasn't a reviewable.

498
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: You could have challenged for a flagrant. But that's pretty role.

499
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 4: Of the day.

500
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 3: It would have had to be, you know, I think

501
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: they had to be a player. It would have had

502
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 3: to be a flag and where he you know, kind

503
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: of karate kicked the kid where and that otherwise you

504
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 3: can't review it.

505
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: Yes, but they still went back to look because they

506
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 2: weren't sure, just to I think, for their own peace

507
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: of mind, and then to look at it and then

508
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: tell you that and then the next day say, yeah,

509
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: they were all wrong after looking at it is a

510
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: little bizarre to me.

511
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: Pretty interesting, Yeah, you know, I just sometimes anyways, it

512
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: is what it is. There were a lot of other

513
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: plays in that game, but sometimes you know, you're we

514
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: had the lead, clearly, guys just played their hearts out,

515
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: you know, only down with to six guys and like

516
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: they were making a run and like that would have

517
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: been a kind of a key key thing on the

518
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: run right to get their momentum and uh, those are

519
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: big plays, but you know that one didn't go our way.

520
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and anytime I'm taking you down this road, so

521
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: I want people to be clear that you're not you know,

522
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: it's just because I'm asking you these questions in terms

523
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: of it, but I'm more interested in the interpretation part

524
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: of it. So another play, and again, if you look

525
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: at the changing point I thought in the game Sunday

526
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: was the foul that was was was elevated.

527
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: It was not called on the floor.

528
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: It was called it was committed against Katee Tyson and

529
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: then he did get his hand into the.

530
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: Facial facial area.

531
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: I forget which guy it was, and so they elevated

532
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: that file. They kept both fouls, but instead of you

533
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: getting the ball out of bounds with possession, they got

534
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: two shots and the ball.

535
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: So it really changed a lot. The call on the

536
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: floor was foul on them. Pinzoldy would have been shooting,

537
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 3: I believe one.

538
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 4: I think we were in the bonus set. I can't remember. Yeah,

539
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: maybeither that or our ball base and out of bounds.

540
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 3: But instead, yeah, they looked at it upgraded it to

541
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: a flagrant. I kind of thought it was just a

542
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 3: basketball play, you know, instead of the foul on them.

543
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 3: They set his hand, which to a face, So it's

544
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 3: two shots and their ball. So yeah, that's a big

545
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: momentum thing. Those are just up to discretion by the

546
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 3: officials and as sometimes it just depends on who's on

547
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: the call and what they're feeling.

548
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aldo one and I have talked about this on

549
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: the game on the game broadcast this year in particularly,

550
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: and again it isn't to suggest that that you know,

551
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: somebody's out to get anybody, but in previous years I've

552
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: been pretty accurate on Okay, this is going to be

553
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: a flagrant. This won't this year, not at all. Like

554
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: what we look at is different. Caide got hit in

555
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: the face on an inbound play that they did review

556
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: against Nebraska next door here where it was to me

557
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: a similar kind of play where uh Sanford just turned

558
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: to try to block a potential pass. Pass wasn't even

559
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: made and he karate chopped him across the side of

560
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: the face temple toward the nose.

561
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: CAD's head flew back. So they reviewed it and they said,

562
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: what did they tell you there?

563
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: One of the guys ref both games and looked at

564
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: both those replays.

565
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: I said it was a basketball play, you know, the decided.

566
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: What does a basketball play one week or one game

567
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: and not the next?

568
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: I guess is the question right trying to get me

569
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: in trouble. No, I'm just curious. I'm more about the

570
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 4: you know what, what it is, It's up to interpretation.

571
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: I mean technically, you know, I just think when you're

572
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: you're talking about fighting in the post like that for

573
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: position both you know, offense and defense usually have their

574
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: their arms up. There's going to be elbows and arms.

575
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: It's like the hook and hold play. I think those

576
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: are hard to call, like letter of the law, yes,

577
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 3: but to me, to upgrade it to a flagrant, it's

578
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 3: got to be you know, hook and hold.

579
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: I intentionally grabbed.

580
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: You've got to pull him down to the ground or

581
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: I'm here and I raised my abble to you know,

582
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: to hit him you know, above the the shoulders or whatever,

583
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 3: intentionally to gain an advantage. And you know, I so

584
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: I think those things are hard, and officials have a

585
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: tough job, you know that way.

586
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: I very well understand that.

587
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 3: But sometimes I think to overturn a call on the floor,

588
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 3: I think you have to have pretty yeah, you know, yeah,

589
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: pretty strong evidence to yeah, yeah, I think the flag.

590
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: I like the rule flagrant one and a flagrant too.

591
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: I actually kind of wishing football they would implement that

592
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 2: for targeting, where you know, if it's a flavor, you know,

593
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: if it's a target and there wasn't a malicious intent,

594
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: it just happened that the guy's crown hit. That can

595
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: be a flagrant one fifteen yards. Guy doesn't get ejected.

596
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: If it was a malicious you rose up, you elevated,

597
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: hit the guy under the chin. You can elevate. Yeah,

598
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: after it was, I like that rule. I like a

599
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: flagrant one or flagrant too. But and it always seemed

600
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: it was if it's a basketball move, it's good. But

601
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: you're responsible for your arms and your elbows, and even

602
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: if it isn't a basketball so I'm actually me you

603
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: may feel different.

604
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 4: I was okay with the call on kid. That's fine.

605
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: It was it was he's responsible for his arm and

606
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: he hit the guy in the face. But if that's

607
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: the foul, then the Gophers deserve that one against Nebraska

608
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: with the same kid, you know, Karate chopped Tim across

609
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: the face.

610
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 4: Let's just be consistent on the thing. Fair enough, right,

611
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 4: all right, all right, let's take a break. It's easy

612
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 4: to get Grim. Yeah. Wow, nothing nothing gets me going

613
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: like that. There's no doubt about that, no doubt.

622
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 2: Some cool stuff happening this weekend. Look ahead quickly to

623
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: the Maryland and now it's been happening, but it's being

624
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: showcased this weekend.

625
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: It's something you've been doing at.

626
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: Colorado State coach for a number of years, and now

627
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: brought it here to Minnesota called Sky you Ma Strong.

628
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: Tell us about what you and the team is doing.

629
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really really excited to take this initiative here

630
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: to our community. And you know long story shore, you know,

631
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 3: coaches versus cancer has been a big thing. You know,

632
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 3: our organization has done a lot with the American Cancer Society.

633
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: It's kind of a national initiative that's been really good.

634
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: I really felt like at Colorado it might be more

635
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 3: impactful for the community and for our players to do

636
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 3: something more on the local levels. So and we partnered

637
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 3: with the UC Health our local cancer center there in

638
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 3: in northern Colorado, and we were able to do some

639
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: really really cool things. And you know, we found on

640
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: our team we had fifteen players. We found we called

641
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 3: fourteen cancer Warriors that we would partner with with each

642
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: one of our players, those patients, you know, write a

643
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: letter to our players just kind of describing, you know,

644
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: the journey that they're going through and their battle. Our

645
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: kids get an opportunity to read those letters. A lot

646
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: of times, you get an opportunity to go over visit

647
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: the cancer center. We do a zoom call like we

648
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: did the other night with all the families and patients

649
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: and kind of introduce ourselves, ask ask questions, talk about

650
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 3: the initiative. Like this week Friday, they will all come

651
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: over to practice and it's really cool to come over

652
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 3: to practice and spend time with us, and then after

653
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 3: really get a chance to connect, you know, individually. Uh,

654
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 3: and then on game day they will come over. On

655
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: game day we'll have a great pregame reception for him.

656
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: Our players will actually wear the names of the patient

657
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: that they're fighting for on the back of their jersey,

658
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: so it won't say awesome on the back of their jersey,

659
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: will actually say the name of the patient that they're

660
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: playing for.

661
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: It's really really powerful stuff.

662
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: And what's been really cool about it is the impact

663
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: that it's had on the families. And it's had even

664
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: a bigger impact I think on us and a lot

665
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: of guys you know, became lifelong friends with some of

666
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: these families and patients. They still keep in touch today.

667
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: It's just been a really really cool initiative. And again

668
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: it's great to you know, use your platform to do

669
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: anything you can to to give back to the community.

670
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: But like I say, what's so cool that we get

671
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: as much or more out of it than anything. Just

672
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: really puts life into perspective. And that's so I'm really

673
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: excited to take that in here to the Twin Cities

674
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: and with our players, and so this weekend will be

675
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: the inaugural.

676
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cool, and those jerseys will with those names

677
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: back there. Those kids and those families got to think

678
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: that's pretty cool. They think it's really cool.

679
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: And I tell you what, when you're a player and

680
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: you suit up for the first time and you look

681
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: and you know you know that it's it's just uh again,

682
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: we always talk about playing for something bigger than yourself

683
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: and being a part of something bigger than yourself, and

684
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: that really puts it into perspective.

685
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: So that'll be the Maryland game.

686
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: You'll have those those young people come in on Friday

687
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: for practice and and then pregame on Sunday as well. Absolutely, yeah,

688
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: pretty neat, and you know it's obviously terrible for families

689
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: to have to go through that. The good news is

690
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: there's places, you know, like healthfare View that offer you know,

691
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: really high end, high level treatment and it's close here

692
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: that that that connection can even be maybe in a

693
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: stronger situation for you guys.

694
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely Masonic to you know, Childon's Hospital right here. And

695
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: so no, it's just again, I think it's a it's

696
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: a great partnership. This will be the first year that

697
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: we'll doing. Hopefully we continue to make it bigger and

698
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: better and and just using our platform to help in

699
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: any way we can.

700
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: All right, very good and if people want to find

701
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: out some info more on that there's some stuff out

702
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: in the news. Go to gophersports dot com you can

703
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: find some of that info. Sky H. Moss Strong. That

704
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: deserves a round of applause. What a great effort here

705
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: that the Gophers are doing there on Well, it's really

706
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: been an ongoing thing, but it'll be showcased here this weekend.

707
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's do some long contested too. So this

708
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: question comes from the trip to Wisconsin, so it's not

709
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: on the court stuff, although it eventually could be on

710
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: the court stuff.

711
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: I was interested.

712
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: Great guard mentioned something he was asked about having the

713
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: return game so quick right the fourteen fifteen days, and

714
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: he's like, he said, he wished it was a full

715
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: round robin the Big Ten, you know, because right now

716
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: you play everybody wants and then three teams twice he wants,

717
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm not making this up.

718
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 4: He wants a thirty four game.

719
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: Conference schedule, six non conference games, forty game regular season

720
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: men's college basketball edule home and home with everyone.

721
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 4: He's like, it's a time, and he was. He was

722
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 4: serious about it.

723
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: And as I got thinking about it, I'm like, maybe

724
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: so I'm interested. Just your initial reaction because at a

725
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: time when even though revenues are high, you still need

726
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: more revenue, and you add additional high level.

727
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 4: Games that fans will want to come to.

728
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: And too, now you're playing forty, which might be another

729
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: six or so home revenue opportunities.

730
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: Your thoughts nego medved. We could really go down a

731
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: rabbit hole here? Yeah, well why not.

732
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if we talked about this one or

733
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: the other show, but as I look down the road,

734
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: I can see something like that happening in our sport.

735
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: I think when this current TV deal is up for

736
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 3: the NC DOUBLEA tournament, I think there's going to be

737
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: a lot of changes, probably within the NC Double A structure.

738
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: With the finances of the tournament, it's worth so much money.

739
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: I think there's going to be a reshuffling of the deck,

740
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 3: you know, so to speak. I could also see us

741
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: going to a longer season. I think I could see

742
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: us going to forty games, maybe selling our product for

743
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: more more high level games means more money, more interest,

744
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: maybe expanding the season a little bit.

745
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: I could see that happening.

746
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: Again, this stuff is driven by the by the almighty dollar, right,

747
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: and so I don't think that's crazy at all. What

748
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: Greg Guard said, I think that could be pretty cool.

749
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 3: And it's just a matter of what those six non

750
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: conference games look like. I know it's hard for us

751
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: to imagine that, but I could see that scenario. And

752
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: it's funny. I've been in every side of this deal.

753
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: But now as i'm you know, continue to be and

754
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm at this level. I fans may not like this

755
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 3: at some of these other places, but the teams at

756
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: the power level need more access to the NCAA tournament.

757
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 3: It's a lot different playing night in and night out

758
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: these games every night than it is in some of

759
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: these other leagues would have gaudy records and and and

760
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: that's just.

761
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: The way it goes.

762
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: So there's gonna be a lot of changes here in

763
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 3: the next four to five years. But I love the

764
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: round robin. It's hard to play thirty six games, so

765
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: I get that. But I don't think what he's saying

766
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: is crazy. And five to seven years whatever, down the road,

767
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: this might look a lot different.

768
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we talked about it. You fans

769
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: like that, I think so right. Fans would love it

770
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: because one of his points too was, you know, tom

771
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: Izzo comes here tomorrow night.

772
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: As the schedule continues.

773
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: That's in every other year occurrence now because next year

774
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: you'll go to Michigan State.

775
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: The year after they'll come back.

776
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: And part of his deal was people should get to

777
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: come and boo tom Izzo you know, every year. But no,

778
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: that's he's a draw. You know, other teams that know

779
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: UCLA coming in later this year. That's a nice draw.

780
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: That's a historic program. Every year you'd get that. Now

781
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: it's seventeen road trips, so you're adding a couple seventeen

782
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: home games. You'd make up for some of that road

783
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: trip with additional home games. He thought, I'm trying to

784
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: remember exactly how I remember it.

785
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: Three by games.

786
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: Probably for them would be you know, they play Marquette

787
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: every year on a home and home and then maybe

788
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: find you know, maybe the Big ten ACC or Big

789
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: ten SEC something like that can return.

790
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: Who knows, right, Yeah, there's probably got to be a

791
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: little bit, you know, out of conference play, you know,

792
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: as you're trying to figure out about seeding the tournament

793
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: and some head to head there probably needs to be

794
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: some of those multi team events, you know, where you

795
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: go to and you play some people from these other leagues,

796
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: and then maybe there is a couple of buy games,

797
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: you know, on your schedule. Obviously in that scenario, you know,

798
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 3: programs are making money playing at home, even in those

799
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: by games. But I think you could more than make

800
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: up for that and potential. You know, you're getting some

801
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: home game, more home games, but then also the TV

802
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: deal and.

803
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 2: You're not writing a six figure check to some school

804
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: that you know, some fans may not want to come

805
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: watch where now you know, if USC or UCLA's coming

806
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: into town, Washington, that's just a simple trade.

807
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: You know, you're not writing those checks.

808
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think again, I'm going to way out there,

809
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 3: but I could see you know, this kind of turning

810
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: in like not the MBA, but but a model much

811
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 3: like that. Right where you've got these conferences, people are playing,

812
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: you know, you play a few out of conference games,

813
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: but you're mostly playing you know, conference games.

814
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 4: Then you get to a tournament at the end of

815
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: the year.

816
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: Is forty like, would you have to extend the sea

817
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: in forty over the current.

818
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: I think you'd have to.

819
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: You have to completely reshuffle, you know right now, you

820
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: know they have that slot for the NCAA tournament right

821
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: before the Masters, you know, in April, so they've got

822
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 3: this window that's almost become like a national holiday. Yeah,

823
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's the best sporting event. And

824
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: people might say the super Bowl. I think the NC

825
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 3: DOUBLEA Tournament. That first weekend of the NC DOUBLEA Tournament

826
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: is unlike anything. It's just it's just American culture at

827
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: its best, best sporting event ever. So you'd have to

828
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 3: reimagine that, but you probably have to extend the season.

829
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: But now, I mean, heck, we're practicing in the summer,

830
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: practice in the fall.

831
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: That's not hard to do in my opinion. And to be.

832
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: Somewhat crass about it, these guys are now making significant

833
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: sums of.

834
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: Money, right, I mean, well, I mean that's I mean,

835
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: that's that's the reality. What are they what's the old saying?

836
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 3: But he said it's the price of doing business?

837
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, exactly. Sometimes it comes at a cost, that's

838
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 4: for sure. All Right. You mentioned the super Bowl the second.

839
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: Best then sporting event in your mind behind the NCUBAA tournament.

840
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 4: There's no bias there, yeah, none, none. Yeah, So you

841
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 4: who do you got this weekend? Do you know who's

842
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 4: playing in it?

843
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: It's funny. I'm such a baby. I'm a Vikings fan.

844
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 3: And then I loved it. Let the Packers and Bears loss,

845
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 3: So I'm happy about that.

846
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for Sam Darnold.

847
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: I'd love to see Sam darn I just love to

848
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: see those kind of guys, underdogs that have really fought

849
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: through thick and thin, and to get his opportunity to

850
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 3: be really cool.

851
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you.

852
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 2: I think I hear there's this narrative where people think

853
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: there's this narrative that a bunch of Viking fans don't

854
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: want him to do well because he left here.

855
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: But I'm like, man, what's that got to do with No.

856
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: I think he's a he's a good guy. He's got

857
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 3: a really cool journey, and it be a cool story

858
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: for him to be able to get that done.

859
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. All right, we're gonna talk Michigan State.

860
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: That was that was our long contested too. We've we've

861
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: made it a forty game season. How about that we

862
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: solve some revenue issues and I'm sure they care what

863
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: we think. Right, Well, you okay, now I'm not going

864
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: to take the break yet. You are you serving some

865
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: capacity on the Coaches Association.

866
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: Right to do stuff with the with the NABC was

867
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: his National Association of basketball coaches, and you know, we

868
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 3: get to gather and kind of voice our concerns and

869
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 3: try to influence you know, policy, you know at the

870
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: national level, and in some ways, you know, hopefully we

871
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 3: can be be productive. I think there's some changes that

872
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 3: will happen here in April that I think will be

873
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: good changes for our game. But again, I just think

874
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: sometimes they don't listen to to coaches enough.

875
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 4: We're the ones in the in the trenches.

876
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got these people making these decisions for our

877
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: sport or whatever that don't really understand what goes on

878
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: in our world every day.

879
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: Would so in something like that, And again, like you say,

880
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: maybe years away, but if a guy like Nico Medved

881
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: and Greg Garden a few others started to say this, this, this,

882
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 2: this is what we want, would that be the approach?

883
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: You'd have to take it through the association And then, yeah, I.

884
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 3: Think those things are different because that has to do

885
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: with television and money. Gotcha, that's you know, Tony Batiti,

886
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 3: Greg Sank. I mean, those are people who look at

887
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: it and that's what they're paid to do, is to

888
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: look at what's in the best interest of the Big

889
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 3: ten or the SEC or college basket. You know, in

890
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: the next five to seven years. I don't know what

891
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 3: it's gonna look like. It's just my prediction. I could

892
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: be wrong. I know that's hard for people to believe,

893
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: but I've been wronged sometimes.

894
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 4: I just believe.

895
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: When this TV deal is up or nearing an end,

896
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 3: I think you are going to see changes to college basketball.

897
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: I think our TV deal is undervalued. I think there's

898
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 3: too much money and too much interest at stake. The

899
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: schools right now have control of the bowl games. I

900
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: think it's gonna start to go to our sport as well.

901
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, now we will take the break. Stay

902
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: with us.

966
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: So really cool. Story puts a lot into perspective, and

967
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: especially you know that was an ancient history.

968
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that wasn't that that long ago?

969
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 3: And so again I'm learning about that here and hopefully

970
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: something I continue to you know, have my girls and

971
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,640

972
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, start tributing with Chips Gains. Go find that story

973
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: if you missed it and haven't read it yet. All right,

974
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 2: So next task at hand, Number ten Michigan State Hall

975
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: of Fame coach Tom Izzo coming to town. What you

976
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: see from the twenty twenty six Michigan State Spartans.

977
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I kind of feel good.

978
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like, now, you know, we've kind

979
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 3: of been on a little bit of this schneid, have

980
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: been able to get over the hump, and now you know,

981
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 3: hopefully we have this kind of inexperienced coach and program,

982
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, coming to town here, maybe we can maybe

983
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 3: we can take advantage of coaches inexperience a little bit

984
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: in their lack of preparation to h to get over them.

985
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: You can tell my skill as well, you know there.

986
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: So so yeah, it's only only Michigan State. So no,

987
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: I mean, listen to one of the best to ever

988
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: do it and cannot I mean continues to do it.

989
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 3: You know, Michigan State. It's classic Michigan State. Tough elite

990
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 3: and transition elite. On the boards, there are I think

991
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 3: two in defense in the country, one in the Big ten.

992
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: I mean, just everything you can have. Physical.

993
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 3: Uh, they're coming off a tough loss at home, They've

994
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 3: had four days to prepare, they'll be ready, you know.

995
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 3: So hey, just another really tough test for us to

996
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: But I'm excited for the challenge.

997
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 2: They obviously have a roster full of talent. Fears has

998
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: been playing well for them, and he's in the news

999
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: a little bit too with some of the stuff was

1000
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: that in state rivals had a little back and forth

1001
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 2: with certain things and he got a little chippy, as

1002
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 2: rivalry games might. But what's the key to trying to

1003
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: contain him? As I guess he would be their point guard? Right?

1004
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean he leads the country.

1005
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 3: And assists, tough as nails, great competitor, great playmaker, is

1006
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: a capable shooter. But the deal with him is is

1007
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 3: he just gets downhill, downhill, in transition, downhill in the

1008
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: half court runs their offense, finds guys, gets a lot

1009
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 3: of guys shots really good defensively, He's just one of

1010
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: those quintessential you know, Michigan State point guards that way,

1011
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 3: so you know everything starts with him. But they've got

1012
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: a lot of other veteran guys too. And again, the

1013
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 3: one thing about their program, like a lot of these

1014
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 3: great programs, is you can flip on year to year

1015
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: and they might have different numbers and different players, but

1016
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 3: there's certain things that always stand out. You know, you

1017
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 3: think of Michigan State it's the rebounding, it's the transition,

1018
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 3: it's the defense, it's the toughness, and and they've had

1019
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 3: some great point guards over the years, and he's right there.

1020
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: You know, every year that Michigan State plays the Gophers

1021
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: or whoever else, you ever hear any coaches talk about it,

1022
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: and they always say, you got to get back on defense.

1023
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 4: You got to get back on defense. How how much?

1024
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 2: How important is that and what's the strategy in getting

1025
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: back on defense, because I know different coaches have different

1026
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: theories on it in terms of can you slow them

1027
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 2: down first, or do you just all sprint the other way,

1028
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 2: or what's the way to try to slow that transition

1029
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: because they run that sideline break forever is you know,

1030
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: through passes and it's in the basket.

1031
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well run back really hard. Yeah.

1032
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 3: You know, I had a great coach, Coach Bennett tell

1033
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 3: me once too. You know you can't run on a

1034
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 3: team who's back.

1035
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1036
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 3: True, right, And so I mean I think there's sometimes

1037
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of tricks. I mean, we actually

1038
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 3: have been pretty good in transition defense, and we're going

1039
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 3: to get tested in a way that we never had before.

1040
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 3: One of the things that challenge to them is you

1041
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 3: watch the film and it's both missus and makes. But

1042
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: you know, you go in there and you try to

1043
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 3: score at the in the lane against their physical defense.

1044
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: A misshot at the rim and they get the rebound.

1045
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: I mean, just look at it. I mean they are

1046
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: they are scoring or getting an advantage on the other end.

1047
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 3: So some of it is the kind of shots that

1048
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: you take. You got to take great shots. You got

1049
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 3: to take care of the ball so you can have

1050
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 3: floor balance and be able to get back and try

1051
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: to get your defense set. And we have to make

1052
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 3: this team try to score in the half court. That's

1053
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 3: half the challenge. Then the other challenges. Your first shot

1054
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 3: defense can be really good, but then they're going to

1055
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 3: get it, you know, So you got to win the

1056
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: first part of the clock and then got to win

1057
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 3: the end of the possession.

1058
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 4: That's easier said than done.

1059
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 3: People have been trying to do it against them for

1060
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 3: years and they've done it with various degrees of success.

1061
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: And in various interviews with you, whether it's pregame on

1062
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: this show or whatever, when when I ask or regard

1063
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 2: to you, whoever ask about you know, keys or or whatever,

1064
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: you always say with you guys. Two of the first

1065
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: few things you ever say transition, defense and rebounding and

1066
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: against these guys, I suppose, as you mentioned, that's that's only.

1067
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 4: A heightened yeah, I mean top top of the list.

1068
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 4: And you know it's funny.

1069
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 3: The players probably roll their eyes, but I tell them,

1070
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 3: you know, before the game, the stuff that we write

1071
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 3: up as keys and like we get to the point

1072
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 3: and we get the program right, I could have any

1073
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 3: of those players go up there and they could write

1074
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 3: what the keys are?

1075
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, it's not I have to

1076
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 4: tell me. We have to know that, bight.

1077
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: Now, these are the things that we have to do

1078
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 3: to give ourselves a chance to be successful. Sees, that's

1079
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 3: one and two on the list.

1080
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: With Tom Oh, now that you're in this league, have

1081
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: you in previous years or any point over your coaching

1082
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: crew have been able to spend any time with him or.

1083
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,160
