1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: And Louisville.

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: They've met on the basketball court the hardwood one hundred times. Well,

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: buckle up for number one oh one. One week from

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 2: tonight they square off of the Hoops Classic at Heritage

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: Banks Center. Six point thirty tip BDG Sports put it

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: all together, that's what they do premier matchups. Let's find

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 2: out more and welcome at our guy from bd BDG Sports.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: That would be Brooks, Downing Brooks. How are we doing

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: doing great, Lance, how are you doing? I'm fantastic, man,

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: oh man. I mean these teams they've matched up and

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: squared off over the years in the Missouri Valley and

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: the Metro and Conference USA and the Big East and

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: the American Man, how exciting it must have been to

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: get these two back together this.

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: Time, Like, like, why were we been having to do this? Right?

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that's play one hundred times? Why would they stop?

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: So this was really a no brainer and a tip

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: of the hats of the coaches. West has been up

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: for anything, and that's awesome if he rebuilds that aircat program,

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: and then Pat Kelsey, you know, hey, this is a

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: coming home party for him. So this was about the

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: easiest thing we had to convince him of ever.

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's a great point because in this

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: day and age, you got it. You can have the idea,

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: but you got to have coaches who are interested in willing.

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: And I've heard Pat talk to me. Pat grew up

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: going to then Riverfront Coliseum. He knows that place like

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: the back of his hand.

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: Oh. Absolutely, I mean, you're right. It's so hard to

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: schedule these days, and there's so many different factors and

31
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: the conferences and the transitions and then the net rankings,

32
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: and you're looking at all this data and trying to

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 3: figure out. But at some point you go, hey, it's

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: Louisville and Cincinnati, you're an hour apart. You don't have

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: to charter a plane. You know, this is easy to do,

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: and you make it a two year deal and next

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: thing you know, it all falls into place. But it

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: is a hassle. Our group we schedule probably someone in

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: the neighborhood of seventy five to one hundred and twenty

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: five games a year, all in November December, and this

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: was one of the easier ones we had, and we're

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: able to get done this past year. Myself, Glynn Fisters,

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: some of our friends there in Cincinnati all pitching in

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: and jumping in because it's a natural rivalry that needs

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 3: to stay relevant and needs to stay current. And I'm

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: so excited about next Friday Night because not only are

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: they probably both going to be ranked now both undefeated,

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: Louisville's gonna be top ten, and then you've got just

49
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 3: that Friday night excitement that goes into the weekend right

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: before the holiday. This thing's gonna pack out. I can't

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: wait to see here at His Bank Center.

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: Well, and here's what I really love. You know, there's

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: a lot going on this time of year, holidays are

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: coming up, but you can't beat an attention grabbing matchup

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: in November that's gonna feel like a March match up.

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, because a lot of times it's one

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: thing to go out. And I applaud Cincinnati for keeping

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: the Dayton Series going that we got those two teams

59
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: together a couple of years ago right there at HBC

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: if you remember, yep, and they kept it going. Obviously

61
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 3: they played just the other day. But it's to have

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: an environment that's a neutral site that's going to have

63
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: a pretty split crowd because Louisville's you know, their fan

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: base is rejuvenated now with Pat Kelsey, they're coming up.

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: Cincinnati is going to show up because you also have

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: two marquee players in this deal that everybody wants to watch.

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: This mckel brown junior that went for twenty nine against

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 3: Kentucky the other night in that big win, and then

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: obviously Sean Baiev for Cincinnati the other five star. I mean,

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: these are two pros that you're going to be entertained

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: by two top ranked teams, coaches that you know, like,

72
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: what's not to like about this?

73
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: And Brooks? This is a two year series, correct?

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: Correct? It goes back to Louisville next year. The plan

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: is to play it at Freedom Hall, where the Cards

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: used to play before they open the Young Center. Be

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: the first time back in that historic building. And of

78
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: course Cincinnati fans know that well because in all those

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: one hundred games they played at a ton of them

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: there at Freedom Haul.

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: For those listening who want tickets, want to be there

82
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960

84

Speaker 3: out your seats. We still have plenty of good seats.

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: What happens this time of year, Lance, is people a

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: little bit slow to transition to basketball, and then all

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: of a sudden you have a big game that pops

91
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: up and ticket sales late will come in hard and strong.

92
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of really good seats left right now.

00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: American I mean, heck is a kid. I was there

119
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: at Heritage Bank Center then the Riverfront Coliseum watching Pat

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,520

129
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: to have to rake them again and again and again.

130

Speaker 4: If only all the leaves could fall at once, well,

131
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,240
