Speaker 1: Tony Pike Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati, sponsored

Speaker 1: in part by Penn Station East Coast Subs Handcraft It

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I grilled subs, fresh cut fries in lemonade. It's all

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: about good taste. Penn Station East Coast Subs order on

Speaker 1: mine today. This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: It's our number three on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: And to do so, we're going to start something new

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: today that we're going to run through college basketball season

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: from Bearcat Journal himself covering all things Bearcats. My second

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: favorite Nickoson, but for this show's sake, our favorite Nickoson guest,

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: it's Keegan Nickoson joining us right now. Hi, Keegan, I.

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: Might have to rethink this season long commitment. If you're

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: going to open every interview with that, I can't believe it.

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: I have a question first, Keegan Austin said that as

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: this was transpiring, it did take you about seven or

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: eight minutes to confirm he saw the bubbles waiting for

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: the text to come back. What went into the decision,

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: What went into that decision and how much did Chad

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Brenda have a say in this well, what.

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: Austin didn't tell you is that we were actually negotiating

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: a signing bonus.

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: So if he hasn't thowed you in.

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: With that number yet, you can go ahead and get

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: with him.

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: That's coming out of Tony's pot for Tony Pikes since Keigan.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: The thing that everyone is asking right now, the spread.

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: It opened a lot of places at seven some six

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: and a half some seven and a half. Last time

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: I checked, it's up to ten and a half in

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: favor of Utah. Why that large of a number in

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: this game?

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are putting a lot

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: of stock into Utah playing at home under the lights, which.

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: I completely understand.

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a really, really tough environment you're looking at.

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: The only other tough environment you see has played in

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: was against Nebraska at Airhead Stadium, which I think, in

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: all honesty, is probably going to be tougher than what.

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: They'll see that Utah on Saturday.

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: It just hards me to believe that it's going to

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: be louder than what those Nebraska fans made Airhead Stadium.

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: But I think Evan Bryor missing plays a role.

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 4: When you look at.

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: The success that you see his offense has had in

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: the past couple of weeks. Evan Pryor was a big

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: part of it, and both the run in the past.

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: And then I also think.

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: You're looking at a Utah defense that you know, you

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: see hasn't really got up against a group like this.

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: One of the best defensive lines in college football. You see,

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: he's been good at keeping defenders off of Brennan Sowerby.

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: And you know, if you throw in, say maybe they

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: get two sacks, maybe there's some false starts, the kind

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: of close to perfect, like really really good offense Cincinnati's

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: been playing so far, it's going to be hard to

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: replicate that.

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: And I think that dogs makers are just saying that,

58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: you know, Utah is going to do it, But I

59
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: wouldn't cut it it ten.

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: If I was betting on this, I would pick Cincinnati

61
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: just because you look at what.

62
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: Utah has done in their biggest games this year.

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: They beat Hares in a state who started Jeff Simms,

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: and then they lose the BYU and then they lose.

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 4: To Texas Tech by a lot in Texas Tech play

66
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: the backup quarterback for the majority of the game.

67
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: So I'm not exactly bought.

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: In on Utah.

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of outside factors that are

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: influencing it, but ten seems pretty steep for me.

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: How big of a role can Many Covey play in

72
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: this game? Because when we've seen in the past when

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: he gets opportunities, he does make the most of them.

74
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: He hasn't been given a ton of those opportunities because

75
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: of what they have with Walker and prior and obviously

76
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: Soresby's ability. Do you view this as Cincinnati will kind

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: of circle the wagon and go more Walker and maybe

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: a couple more Sowresby runs, or is there a fair

79
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: share of Carrie's for Covey.

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: I think they're going to lean heavily on Walker, and

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: whoever the backup running back is is kind of just

82
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: to give Walker breaks.

83
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: Don't forget about.

84
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: Chance Williams, you see, has used Many Covey a decent

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: amount in the past game in terms of screens, and

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: I would expect.

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: Them to do that again this week.

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: I think he's probably the best receiving back on the

89
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: roster outside of Edan Pryor. But Chance Williams is a

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: better runner than Many Covey. I'm willing to say that

91
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: he's shifty he's fast. He fits to Van pryor Runner

92
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: Mold better. But if you're in a spot with Tabbie

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: Walker where he's hasn't been getting that many carries per game,

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: he should be fresh. Why not give him twenty five carries?

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: Why not let him be the bell cow? Who else

96
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: who's out there every down? And the only reason someone

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: else is in the game is if you're scheming up

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: a screen or if you're giving him a break from

99
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: many Covey, I would expect him to be involved somewhat.

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: Don't forget about Chance Williams. And also there's a true

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: freshman on this team that I love in Zion Johnson,

102
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: who could be one of the most electric offensive players

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: in the roster. A lot of people saw him in

104
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: the spring game when he popped off. If he's able

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: to get the ball in his hands and any kind

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: of situation, he could be able to take it the distance.

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: To keep an eye on that as well.

108
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: Offensively, it's been weird because it felt like against Baylor

109
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: that they weren't dominant, and then you look up and

110
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: they punted the ball one time and they put forty

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 2: one points on the board. I know a big reason

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: for their success is the fact that they've not turned

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: the ball over in their last seven games during this

114
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: winning streak. But in a game like this where the

115
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: opponent is better, can they find a way Keegan to

116
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: eliminate these third quarter laws that we've seen kind of

117
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 2: plague this team over the past couple weeks.

118
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: I think the best way to eliminate them is for

119
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: some takeaways. I mean, you think about when you see

120
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: has gotten out quick and they've gotten those two and

121
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: three possession leads on teams and then they start to coast.

122
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: The reason you feel so gross about those games after

123
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: when they cut it to a ten point lead and

124
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: then you barely survive is you see wasn't getting turnovers,

125
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: like they weren't forcing turnovers at all. You look at

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State, if they don't get that pick six, you.

127
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: Don't feel as good about it.

128
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: You look at Baylor, if they don't get those two

129
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: turnovers which immediately turn into touchdowns, that's a twenty seven

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: to twenty final and you feel different about that game.

131
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: So if you want to really make a difference, and

132
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: if you want to see your team's ceiling, continue to

133
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: force turnovers and it'll just make your life so much

134
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: easier because they've won without forcing turnovers, but they've really

135
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: dominated and put the country on notice when they force

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: the turnovers and put the ball back in the hands

137
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: of one of the best offenses in the country.

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: Defensively, this to me is no surprise. If you look

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: at the top three rushing teams in the country Navy,

140
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: Air Force, Army, nothing new about that. Is this Utah

141
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: team that the Bearcats are going to see on Saturday night.

142
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: They are fourth in the country at two hundred and

143
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: sixty seven point one yards per game that they are

144
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: gaining on the ground. If you're looking at Achilles Heel

145
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: for the Cincinnati Bearcats their run defense, they're allowing one

146
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: hundred and forty one a game. Do you envision them

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: at all going to a traditional four down front at

148
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: times because we've seen team success against the three down

149
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: especially when cor Leon's out of the game. Or is

150
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: this who the Bearcats are and that's who they're going

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: to continue to be.

152
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: I really I don't know, and we were talking about

153
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: it last night on the bcjpod. I think you have

154
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: to get exotic with what you do, like maybe bring

155
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: some some blitzers out of the second theory maybe you

156
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: bring the star down to the linebacker spot where he

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: plays that kind of with the Sean pace played in

158
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: the first year, kind of the Rover. I don't know

159
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: if you get away from your identity and what's made

160
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: you great. I think before the Bearer game, a lot

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: of people probably thinking that the other was going to

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: throw for four hundred yards, but the important thing was

163
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: going to be what do they do in the red zone?

164
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: And then you see it was pretty good in that

165
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: area preventing them from getting to the end zone and

166
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: large so I'm.

167
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: Not really sure.

168
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: I'd be interested to see how much they played Dante Corleone.

169
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: Is this a case where they were saving him for

170
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: a game like this when the running game of the

171
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: opposition is one of their best features. I would say

172
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: that I like how yuc's defense matches up against a

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: running quarterback. You've seen it with Cam Fancher and Sam

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: Jackson where they had some damage, but it was it

175
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: was kind of like improvised, and it was when there

176
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: there was nobody opened downfield. My thing will continue to

177
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: be if you can force takeovers.

178
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: Or force turnovers and put some pressure in the opposing.

179
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: Quarterback, you're going to put yourself in a good position,

180
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 3: and then at this specific position. I wouldn't want to

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: be Devin dan Peer after what Bird Fickland did last

182
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: week for you to off and you come back in

183
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: and you're taken over.

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: For a true freshman who had like, what was it,

185
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 4: four hundred and fifty five hundred.

186
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: Total yards through the air and on the ground, if

187
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: he makes one mistake yep, which a lot of people

188
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: are like already down on him. What's in the back

189
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 3: of his head, because everybody on the sideline, everybody in

190
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: the stands is going to be thinking, we'll just go

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 3: to that true freshman and we're going to win. So

192
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: I would try I would try to punch them in

193
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: the mouth early and make him uncomfortable and then see

194
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: if you can force some turnovers.

195
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: The one thing we haven't seen yet really from UC

196
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: is having to come from a deficit. You know, outside

197
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: of maybe a field goal or a touchdown. They have

198
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: done really well at playing from ahead. Does Utah style

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: of play when running the ball, and how many fifteen

200
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: eighteen play drives we've seen the defense give up? How

201
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: important is it for UC to start fast and to

202
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: be able to play from ahead against a team that

203
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: runs the ball so well.

204
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: I think it's very important for that and to take

205
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 3: the crowd out of it. And I don't know where

206
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 3: you stand on, you know, taking the ball after a

207
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: coin flip if you're.

208
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: Able to win, or if you want to defer to

209
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: the second half.

210
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: I just feel like getting a stop on the first drive,

211
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: when everything has been made about how Utah is just

212
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: going to run it down your throat and score, getting

213
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: to stop and then immediately scoring and taking some life

214
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: out of the crowd. I think that's how you set

215
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: it up. So I think the biggest drive of the

216
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: game for the defense could be their first drive. And

217
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 3: if you can set the tone where you know you

218
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: guys aren't going to be able to just run all

219
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 3: over us, that's that can set the tone for the

220
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: rest of the game, and they can give both sides

221
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: of the ball a ton of confidence and you can

222
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: immediately be playing from out in front, whether it's on

223
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: the scoreboard or just from the momentum aspect of the game.

224
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: Do you have any big plans for Friday night in

225
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Salt Lake City.

226
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 5: I don't know.

227
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: I don't think it's so much to go on a

228
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: hike at like eight pm when it's dark. I don't

229
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: want to get attacked to like a mountain lion or something.

230
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't think it through a very big bar.

231
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: Scene in Salt Lake City. Whatever.

232
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll hit up a twig and get a dirty

233
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: soda and go crazy with it, but I don't know.

234
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: I'll have to find something to do.

235
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: I have to ask on the basketball side of things, Keegan,

236
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 2: because if you know me at all, you know I'm

237
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: not one to put any stake in exhibition basketball. You

238
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: never hear me talking about it, whether the Bearcats win

239
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: or whether they lose. Is there anything that you saw

240
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: against Arkansas that Bearcat fans should be concerned about as

241
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: the season approaches on Monday? Not really.

242
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: I think that the transition defense was so obviously atrocious

243
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 3: and so not up to the standard of what Cincinnati

244
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: can do that it was. It's something that is going

245
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: to be corrected, and it's something that Sincani fans should

246
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 3: expect to see corrected.

247
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 4: Wes Miller would not recruit players who played like that,

248
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: and I don't.

249
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: I can't confirm if John Caliperry was watching film of

250
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: the Michigan game and was like, really hell bent, I'm

251
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: beating since to Addie and not really just trying to

252
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: do it's.

253
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: Best for his team.

254
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: But that's kind of what it looked like because it

255
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: was just get out and transition and go.

256
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: So you know, Wes was very very clear that.

257
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 4: He thought that the two exhibition games are very successful

258
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 4: in terms of it.

259
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: It gave them opportunities to go to grow confidence and

260
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: have success, and it also gave them opportunities to see

261
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: what they need to work on.

262
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: So you got kind of the hot and the cold.

263
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: And I think it was a perfect scenario.

264
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: But there's not anything too brutal or too worrisome. The

265
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: only thing with the that they're going to have to

266
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: get more creative with how to.

267
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: Score down low without John Haynes.

268
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: So I think the first option is obviously Mustafa cham

269
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: who probably would have been the first option to scored.

270
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: Down low even if Haines were healthy.

271
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: And then you look at Boba Miller kind of maybe

272
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: changing a little bit of what he does. And then

273
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 3: since your hair is getting more active down in the

274
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: paint and hat to the hoops. So but no, I

275
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: don't think Sans should overreact too much. But I can

276
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: also appreciate the overreactions because a lot of us wouldn't

277
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: have jobs.

278
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: If they weren't crazy fans who ever reacted to exhibition game.

279
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: What do they need outside of just the low post scoring?

280
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 2: You mentioned things that they can work on. What do

281
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: they need to get cleared up between now and you

282
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: get Western Carolina and Georgia State to start, but then

283
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: you get a Dayton team who's very well coached, always

284
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: a threat in the eight ten. What do they need

285
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: to get cleaned up outside of the low post between

286
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: now and then?

287
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 4: I think it's just defense.

288
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: You know, outside of the transition defense, there were some

289
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: lackluster efforts. There were some misassignments at Arkansas, and West

290
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: is pretty quick to pull them, I think, especially with

291
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: guys like Jordi Rodriguez and Shanabaia, who are those offensive

292
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: players who are coming in in their first year and

293
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: they're trying to get used to the standard of Cincinnati

294
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: basketball and what a Cincinnati defense looks like.

295
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 4: And what the expectation is.

296
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: Those guys who are are coming to this team to

297
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: play offense really just need to get to the point

298
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 3: where they aren't liabilities on defense, because you saw it

299
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: in the past.

300
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 4: Couple of years.

301
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: Gisel Games struggled a lot. I think it was better

302
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 3: in year two than he was in year one, and

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: Dan Skilling startled a lot. And player there's a players

304
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: who are supposed to contribute, the key players, and then

305
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: you get on the defensive side and they really really

306
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: hurt you. So just getting those offensive players to the

307
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: point where they can play like sustainable defense.

308
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: They don't have to be locked down, but just confident

309
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: defense to where they can play those twenty five to

310
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: thirty minutes a game, especially in a case like Seanabaya,

311
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: because if.

312
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: He's going to be a liability, his minutes on the

313
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: court are probably going to get cut.

314
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot that we will continue to watch. First

315
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: it's Saturday night and then the Bearcat hoop squad gets

316
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,520

Speaker 2: about the Bearcats, we're also going to talk about Xavier

325
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: Musketeers as well. A lot of question marks around this

326
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: year's Xavier squad. Richard Patino took the podium yesterday to

327
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: talk about the upcoming Xavier season. We'll have that audio

328

Speaker 7: Back on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's Sports Station.

335
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back Cincy three to sixty Roller Long on a

336
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Yes, we're

337
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: in the heart of football season. Bengals, Bears. We've talked

338
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: a lot about that. We'll talk about that more tomorrow.

339
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: College basketball Bearcats start on Monday. College football is a

340
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: huge weekend ahead, and the Xavier Musketeers also get their

341
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: season underway on Monday as well. That against Marist. The

342
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: Red Foxes from Marist will come to the Cintas Center.

343
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: Everything for Xavier kind of leads up to their first

344
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: real test, which is November fourteenth on the road at Iowa.

345
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: They share a common opponent in the non conference with

346
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: the Bearcats. They both will play Georgia in the non conference,

347
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: and of course, December fifth, Xavier will host this year's

348
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: edition of the Crosstown Shootout. We put the question out

349
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: there last week what is the expectation in year one

350
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: for the Xavier Musketeers. We had a couple Xavier fans

351
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: reach out to us and said five hundred or so.

352
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: And there's an understanding I think that at the time

353
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: in which Patino got the job, and not having anyone

354
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: back on the team that scored a point last year,

355
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 2: getting to the portal a little bit late, that this

356
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: year is an uphill battle, especially against another good, good

357
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: season in the Big twelve or the Big East. Connecticut

358
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: is a preseason number four, Crayton is in the top

359
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: twenty five. Saint John's is a preseason top five team.

360
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: So you look at where Xavier's at and I do

361
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: think a lot of people would say, Okay, five hundred

362
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: or around that mark is a good year one, and

363
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: then let's see what Patino can do going forward with

364
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: the normal full offseason and getting his grasp more on

365
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: the university and where this team is headed. All that

366
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: being said, no one on the staff and current team

367
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: want to hear that they want to go out and win.

368
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: They want to compete for championships, and that at least

369
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: is going to be the starting point for them. As

370
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 2: I mentioned, their season gets underway on Monday, but yesterday

371
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: head coach Richard Patino spoke to members of the media

372
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: leading in to the start of the season.

373
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 8: Well, when you start from scratch, obviously you're implementing a lot,

374
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 8: so you know, I mean, I think everything is a

375
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 8: work in progress right now. I wouldn't say there's one thing,

376
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 8: but I mean, you know, guys are working hard, Like

377
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 8: the work ethic is great, the attitude is great, you know.

378
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 8: But everything is so new and fresh, so you know

379
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 8: it's going to get better and better as time progresses.

380
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 8: But you know, the biggest thing you're trying to do

381
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 8: when you get a new program and you're trying to

382
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 8: install everything and build everything, is can you get the

383
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 8: commitment to working hard every day and you know, the

384
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 8: commitment to that kind of that process and they'd be

385
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 8: good there.

386
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: So you know, it take some time obviously.

387
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 9: From the game pressure, maybe tweaking your rotations playing in

388
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 9: front of a crowd. What was the most beneficial thing

389
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 9: about Murray State and Toledo or is it just all

390
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 9: of the above.

391
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, they were all great, you know, as we try

392
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 8: to figure out that way of scheduling exhibition games. I

393
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 8: do love playing in front of fans, just because it

394
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 8: just feels a little more stressful. Toledo was also beneficial,

395
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 8: but when there's nobody there, it feels certainly more like

396
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 8: a practice scrimmage type deal.

397
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: But both of them were great.

398
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 8: You know, any film that we can kind of get

399
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 8: that's not against each other where you know, you don't

400
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 8: prepare for those games like you would a real game,

401
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 8: but inevitably the other teams are going to do different

402
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 8: things than you do and it's gonna you know, remind you, Oh,

403
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 8: we got to work on this a little bit more,

404
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 8: and maybe we neglected that. So both were really really good,

405
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 8: really beneficial. You know, I wish we could play more

406
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 8: of them, but we're certainly better playing both of them.

407
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 10: Coaches always talk about what they saw in film that

408
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 10: needs to be corrected from the preseason.

409
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: What'd you see that you liked from those two exhibition.

410
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 8: The if you're talking about the Murray game. The response

411
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 8: offensively was terrific. You know, we went from twenty something

412
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 8: points to forty four. Made an adjustment that they understood

413
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 8: and they executed really really well. Toledo game was different.

414
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 8: We shot the ball very very well, but we turned

415
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 8: it over nineteen times. Some of that was us, some

416
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 8: of that was certainly them, But like going to be

417
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 8: very very hard to win any games to turn the

418
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 8: ball over.

419
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: At that rate.

420
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean, I think they understand the pace

421
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 8: of what you're trying to play. You know, I still

422
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 8: think conditioning is a little bit of a factor we're trying.

423
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 8: We're having a poll guys, a lot more than maybe

424
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 8: I had to do it in New Mexico playing the

425
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 8: same style.

426
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: But that'll come in time as well.

427
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 8: But like I said, I mean I thought both of

428
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 8: them there was a lot of positives, and also every

429
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 8: coach on the planet right now said we had a

430
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 8: lot of work to do other things as well.

431
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 10: As we get closer to that first game. When you

432
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 10: get you know, the night before the game or day

433
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 10: of the game, do you anticipate any type of feelings, emotions,

434
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 10: or anything like that nervousness when you when you switch

435
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 10: jobs or is it at this point for you? Is

436
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 10: it kind of like it's always the same when you

437
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 10: start the season.

438
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: No, No, it's different.

439
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

440
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 8: I mean it's weird when you're so accustomed to your

441
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 8: game day routine in a different place. You know, it

442
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 8: felt weird for sure walking in more so for the

443
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 8: Murray game to Toledo because Toledo there's nobody around. But yeah,

444
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 8: you're figuring out your routine, where you're gonna park, what

445
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 8: are you gonna where you're gonna sit before the game,

446
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 8: you know, you're going coaches locking them, you're off, whatever.

447
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 8: So there's little things like that for sure. But yeah,

448
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 8: I would say I felt in a big way versus Murray,

449
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 8: just kind of looking up like, oh, this isn't the pit,

450
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 8: this is pretty cool, this is different all those things.

451
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 8: But then obviously once the ball goes up, you know,

452
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 8: you kind of really narrow your focus.

453
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: But all good feelings for sure.

454
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 9: Diving into the scouting report on Maris this week, what

455
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 9: do you make of that team with some camaraderie coming

456
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 9: back and a team that really excelled defensively last season.

457
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, defense, you know, he's built it kind of from

458
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 8: the ground up. Taking a little time. He gotten better

459
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 8: every single year. You know, we gotta we gotta value

460
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 8: the basketball. They kind of pack it in. They've got

461
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 8: some key guys back. You know, I believe they won

462
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 8: twenty games, so they're gonna be feeling good about themselves.

463
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, so we will. We'll dive in.

464
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 8: We're off tomorrow and we'll kind of turn the page

465
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 8: and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we'll be big on Maris. But

466
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 8: very very well coached. Uh you know, a program that's

467
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 8: been built the right way, and they had a really

468
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 8: good year.

469
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: Left year coach. I'm curious to listening to your podcast.

470
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 10: I know you mentioned after exhibition you felt like you

471
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 10: wanted to play Roddy and Isaiah a little bit. I mean,

472
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 10: I'm not Roddy excuse me all and Isaiah a little

473
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 10: bit more off the bench. Did you did you feel

474
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 10: like you changed the rotations a little bit more for

475
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 10: the uh Akron.

476
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: Uh me, listen, you got to lock in. It's early

477
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: in the season. It's a lot.

478
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 8: I mean, I would say I I I definitely looked

479
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 8: at different lineups the second game, for sure. I I

480
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 8: remember looking back going, man, I needed to play Isaiah

481
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 8: more I needed to play all more. We got them

482
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 8: more opportunities, which was good for them because that's what

483
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 8: those games are for, those exhibition games. So I talked

484
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 8: to them both after the game and say, hey, be ready,

485
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm gonna increase that.

486
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: Went with.

487
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 8: Yovan at the five a little bit more then maybe

488
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 8: what I did the first game that was good. And yeah,

489
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 8: you're just trying to find You're trying to gather as

490
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 8: much data as you possibly can of lineups. You know,

491
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 8: we were lucky to have a really cool advanced analytics

492
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 8: kind of thing that we bought and we communicate with them,

493
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 8: and one of the things I told them was like,

494
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 8: it's hard after two expiicion games to really know such

495
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 8: small sample size, but like, hey, as we maybe after

496
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 8: five six games, like what lineups? Because plus minus can

497
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 8: be a little bit deceiving, Like Trey had a horrendous

498
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 8: plus minus versus Toledo and he played terrific, So constantly

499
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 8: tinkering with that so that we can kind of see

500
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 8: what's working together and what's not.

501
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: All right, So that is some Richard Patino from yesterday

502
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: getting you set for the season. By the way, speaking

503
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: of the season, ESPN did an article on fourteen games

504
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: in November that you're going to want to watch. These

505
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: are games highlighted by Florida and Arizona, Alabama and Saint John's, Kentucky,

506
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: Louisville BYU and Yukon. Georgia and Xavier also on that

507
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: list right after and Duke. So something to look forward

508
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: to for Xavier fans. It is interesting and this this

509
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 2: doesn't pertain as much to Patino in the Big East,

510
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: but it pertains to his dad at Saint John's. The

511
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: question was asked Austin about, you know, questions in each conference.

512
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: Is Rick Patino at Saint John's versus Dan Hurley at

513
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: Yukon the top coaching battle in the country right now?

514
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I would say so those are two legends

515
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: going after it. They're gonna go after it twice a year.

516
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,399

00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:13,960

604
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,280

606
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 5: well they're The, dodgers you. Know it's it's. All it's

607
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880

609
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 5: time In god's creation to go into a, massive disgusting,

610
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 5: slump and then when they get into that bullpen at,

611
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 5: all you don't know what you're going to. Get so point, too.

612
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: It's the worst case. Scenario but also it's a team

613
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 2: that has built for big. Moments so if there were

614
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: a team that could still turn this around and go

615
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: win two on the, road it would be The dodgers

616
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: because of their. Makeup that's.

617
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 5: True and SOMETIMES i Think magic used to say this

618
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: when he was with The. Wakers he actually was more

619
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 5: relaxed on the.

620
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 4: Road.

621
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: Relaxed, sure well did you Experience?

622
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: YEAH i always thought road games were, Fun like quarterback,

623
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: wise it changes things a little bit because it affects

624
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: your cadence and your snap. Count but there was always

625
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: something about being able to go somewhere in quiet a

626
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: crowd and be able to deliver in that sense that

627
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: that did make things more.

628
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 5: Rewarding, yeah so just a hush comes over this stadium

629
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: and you're, thinking we're doing our job big, time, right

630
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: without a.

631
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: Doubt, yeah that's.

632
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 5: Cool, okay here's here's my tradition on The Super Bowl Rams,

633
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 5: Chiefs And i'm basing that in two mid season, sets

634
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: they're two and three on defense and they're ten and

635
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 5: seven on. Offense, Yep and that seems like a pretty good.

636
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 5: Formula what do you?

637
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: Think, yeah the way The rams are, playing you, know

638
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: A stafford coming off there his last game and he's

639
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: finding his. RHYTHM i think he's finally back to normal

640
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: since missing most of training. Camp and we've set it

641
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: with The chiefs all. Along you could see it a

642
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago where you. Won are The chiefs

643
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: reeling a little? Bit now they're, Healthy now they're playing

644
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: better than anyone in THE. Afc austin mentioned it, earlier

645
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: never going to go against The chiefs because of their

646
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: reign With Andy reid And mahomes and everyone, Else so

647
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: right now they have to be the front. RUNNER i

648
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: think THE nfc is a little bit more open and

649
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more, balanced BUT i don't think The

650
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: rams are a bad pick at.

651
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,360

727
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 6: uh with with the goal of using the media to

728
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 6: repair and rehabilitate his his.

729
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: Reputation what's your initial reaction to hear the statistic that

730
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: out of two hundred and twelve combined rush attempts From Shamar,

731
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: Stewart Miles, murphy they have combined for zero quarterback. Hits

732
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: those were players that you took in the draft to

733
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: replace at the, Time Sam hubbard and Eventually Trey, hendrickson

734
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: oh for two hundred and. Twelve sounds Like matt McClain

735
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: oh for two Twelve it's almost a stat that's as

736
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: unbelievable As Jamar chase having five more tackles on the

737
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: year Than Shamar stewart.

738
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 6: With With, Tobin i'm, Sorry Fluke tobin with twenty twenty

739
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 6: one With's Shamar stewart and My Shamar. Stewart you give

740
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 6: a slide pass To Miles murphy by now is supposed

741
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 6: to be an impact. Player, yeah the THE i, mean

742
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 6: it's it's kind of beating a dead horse at this,

743
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 6: point the number of draft choices they have used on

744
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 6: defense that simply have not worked. OUT i do wonder

745
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 6: if moving forward there will be a philosophical shift away

746
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 6: from traits and more toward leaning on.

747
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: Production. Right, YEAH i don't know.

748
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 6: If the answer is going to be yes or, no

749
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 6: but you're being fair if you look At Shamar stewart and, go,

750
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 6: well we saw this coming because he didn't have any.

751
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 6: Sacks but there's ways to affect the, game and there's

752
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 6: ways to affect the other team's offense without sacking the.

753
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 6: Quarterback Shamar, stewart along with a lot of other, guys

754
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 6: doesn't do any of.

755
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 8: That.

756
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah speaking of seismic, shifts the line to the Uc

757
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 2: utah game. Now just want to win the. Game but

758
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: it's jumped to a point Where i've had to like

759
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: second guess my closeness to the. University LIKE i feel

760
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: like we're pretty in tune with what's going, on, yeah

761
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: in the, Lockerroom LIKE i don't think there Are LIKE

762
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: i don't think there's a sickness going through the. TEAM

763
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: i don't Think Evan pryor's. Good, yes Like austin mentioned,

764
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: Earlier Evan, pryor if he's worth four, points then he

765
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 2: should be in The heisman.

766
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 6: Ring carries the ball ten times a. Game, yeah and

767
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 6: he's a very good. Player but he cares the ball ten.

768
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 6: Times it's just it's odd to see a jump this. Big,

769
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 6: NOW i Get utahs wearing hand painted, HELMETS i get

771
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 6: But keen And nickoson brought up a point, today if

772
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 6: there's one positive to come out of The nebraska, game

773
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 6: that environment Against nebraska is going to be more rouckeus
