I always assuming we're going to get 39 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: the other team's best shot. That's what you have to do. 40 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 4: And I think, you know, Ohio State will be ready 41 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 4: to play it, and we know we're going to have 42 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 4: to do so. 43 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 5: But you're right. 44 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: I mean, sometimes there's an old saying it's not just 45 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 4: who you play, it's when you Yeah, when you play them. 46 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, And we remember we talked about that maybe when 47 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: it was Purdue, right you guys got them right after 48 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: the Iowa State where they lost. IEWA stated, I think 49 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: I ask you, would you rather play a team coming 50 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: off a good team coming off of a loss, because 51 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: the human nature might be, well, they're going to be 52 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: mad and really fighting or not. 53 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 5: And I've talked to a couple of coaches. 54 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: I think Richard Patina one time said his dad used 55 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: to say, never underestimate how blanked up your opponent might be. 56 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: So sometimes you might want to play a team coming 57 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: off of a loss, even if you think they might 58 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: be mad. But you're right, it's when you play him. 59 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: It's how you play the man. At the end of 60 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: the day, it's how your team plays too well. 61 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 4: The other thing is, and I totally agree with that, 62 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: you never know what's going on with the other team. 63 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: But maybe bigger than that is it's not even worth 64 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: worrying about because you don't control it. Right, You have 65 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 4: no control over what's going on in the other team's 66 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 4: locker room or how they're feeling. The only thing you 67 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 4: have control over is your approach and how you play. 68 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 4: That's why I say I always assume we're going to 69 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 4: have to put out a game that's going to have us, 70 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: you know, in a position to beat them if they're 71 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 4: playing their best. Some nights you get a team it 72 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: doesn't shoot it as well or whatever, but you have 73 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: no control over their psyche. 74 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 5: You just have to control your own. 75 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, And how is your team psyche now? Because it's 76 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 3: been a couple of heartbreakers, right, you had the buzzer 77 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: beater last week where it looked like you guys were 78 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: maybe going to send it overtime against the Badgers. You 79 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 3: had the usc game in overtime where you know, a 80 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 3: couple of late leads and chances to win it and 81 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: all those things. And then right in the fight at Illinois. 82 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: So how do you like or not like how your 83 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: team now is kind of fighting through what they're fighting 84 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: through because I think they're I mean, you look at 85 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: the box scores, all those games were there, you know, 86 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: and to me, it looks like they're playing pretty good ball. 87 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: There's a lot to like as far as their approach, 88 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: you know, I mean, other than the Purdue game, we've 89 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: had a chance to you know, in every one of 90 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 4: these games so far in the bytown. That's a great 91 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: credit to these guys, the way that they battle and 92 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: they're continuing to learn how they need to play to 93 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: give themselves a chance somebody you know that, But losing stinks, 94 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: you know, it's hard to keep you know, come up 95 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 4: on the wrong side of it. So I think we're 96 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: doing a good job hopefully of having that balance with 97 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: our guys. Of listen, we've come a long way. We 98 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: are improving. There's evidence that we're improving that way. But 99 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: you know, you got it can be easy to please 100 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: but hard to satisfy. We've got to continue to grow 101 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: and we've got to continue to get better because again 102 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: that the schedule is just they just keep coming. But 103 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: a lot of teams, I think you get to this 104 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: point and you're either going to continue to make the 105 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 4: strides to get better or you can kind of stay 106 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: the same or go the other way. And if you're 107 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 4: staying the same, you're going to get surpassed. So so far, 108 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: I think the guys have been have been really good. 109 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 4: I think they've had a really good approach in practice. 110 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 4: But again we'll see here tonight. 111 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that. 112 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 3: And as you go through that gauntlet, you want to 113 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: keep your team's confidence when they're playing well, and it 114 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: looks to me like they're not fractured by the moment 115 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: in the games they're playing. Like even even the other day, 116 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 3: despite the outcome, I thought there were winning plays to 117 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: be made. It wasn't like you were turning it over 118 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: kicking it out of bounds. I mean you had some 119 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: open looks that if a shot or two falls, they're 120 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: open and the plays are there to be made. 121 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. 122 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: You know, we had some opportunities needed to make a 123 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: few more plays. They obviously made them on They're a 124 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: really good team. I thank Illinois for a reason. But 125 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 4: what I love is seeing our guys when things have 126 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 4: gotten tough in these games, we haven't folded, we haven't 127 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: given in to those We've continued to stay with it. 128 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: We've come back when we've been down. You know, we 129 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: keep giving ourselves chances. And so that's real growth, you know. 130 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 4: I think we came out at halftime, they made a run, 131 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: then we made a run right back, and I think 132 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 4: that was with about eleven minutes to go, and I 133 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 4: remember thinking to myself, I'm like, all right, guys, you know, 134 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: like we're we're growing a little bit. And I don't 135 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 4: you know, have the exact score, but well, with about 136 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: four and a half minutes to go. 137 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 5: It was about a four. 138 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 4: To four game, you know, and again we just had 139 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: to make a few more players. They're very hard to 140 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: keep off the glass, and we just couldn't come up 141 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: with enough defensive reboundser just quite make one or two 142 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: more shots. 143 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 5: That we needed to to give ourselves a chance. 144 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: And that not to get too far into the weeds 145 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: on the game specifics, but you're right, you had you know, 146 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 3: you had multiple leads through the game. 147 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 2: That's that's on the road. That's not always easy. 148 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: And then a couple of things, you know, the hook 149 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: and hold, you know, and you look at that and 150 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 3: there's probably a couple of hooking holds on the play. 151 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 2: What did the rest tell you? 152 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 3: And maybe you don't want to talk about it, but 153 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 3: to me that that you know, that. 154 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: That kind of changed the trajectory of the contest right there. 155 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: It's not unfortunate, you know, maybe by the letter of 156 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: the law it was, but I mean, my god, like, 157 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 4: I mean, our guys is you know, dude seven to 158 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: you know, two hundred and eighty pounds and the shots 159 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: going up. I mean, it's a fist fight down there, 160 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 4: and those guys are hitting us just as hard as 161 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 4: we're trying to hit them, and it's just yeah, I 162 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 4: thought that was a pretty unfortunate, you know, situation, and 163 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 4: that was a big play in the game without question. 164 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, because the hook and holds a hard way. 165 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes they're obvious, you just get dragged down, 166 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 3: which was the intent of the rule. But sometimes if 167 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: arms are locked and both guys are kind of tugging, 168 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 3: it's hard. 169 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 170 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: And at the same time, if you look four feet away, 171 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: Kate Tyson's getting dragged down, like. 172 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, he got he got thrown to the ground. And 173 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't I don't love the rule. And 174 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 4: it's funny. Brad Underwood after the game, you know, said 175 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 4: the same thing, like the intent of the rule is 176 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: to stop the dangerous play of somebody, you know, pulling 177 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 4: somebody down from behind on a hook and hold. It's 178 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 4: kind of hard when two guys, like you said, are 179 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 4: tangled up and his arm might be on top of 180 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 4: his but it's not really a dangerous play. Those are 181 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: those are kind of tiki tak to call in their situations. 182 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: So I don't love I think sometimes we need to 183 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 4: call it more. What the intent of the rule was 184 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 4: not always be black and white, just like I told her. 185 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 4: As you know, the game is played in the gray. 186 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 4: I think sometimes we got to be able to do 187 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 4: that a little bit inefficient, and they have a tough job. 188 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: It's a physical game. But you know, what's the intent 189 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 4: of the rule. And I didn't think that was really 190 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 4: a dangerous play thought. 191 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: I thought it was literally a hook and hold, in 192 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: that the golfer guy hooked and the a Lini guy held. 193 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 4: And then the other two guys they threw into the 194 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: stands or whatever. That wasn't part of the play. 195 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: I think at one point you asked us about a chainsaw, 196 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: and that might have been what it tuck. 197 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: At some point. 198 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: Well, I kept thinking to myself, man, we need to 199 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: bring a chainsaw or something here to to try to 200 00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: come up with a board. 201 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 5: But I haven't changed that rule yet. 202 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't changed ye, And it was you know, 203 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: some of it's how they play. You look at the 204 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: Aligini and it has been they have shot so many 205 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: more free throws, they don't foul a lot, and so 206 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: on one hand, as I oh, it was nineteen to 207 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: three and you had to foul late, so they hit some. 208 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: But even in the heart of the game when it 209 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: was still in doubt, they had a distinct advantage. But man, 210 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: you look at their box scores and that is kind 211 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: of somehow how they play now, Is that because of 212 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: how it's called? Is it because of how skilled they are, 213 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: you know, and all of that, But it's hard to 214 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: win on the road when you have a sixteen free 215 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: throw description. 216 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 4: It is, and in fairness like them, you know, they 217 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: have you know, in my opinion, you know, the best 218 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: shot blocker in the in the Big ten. They're so long, 219 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: they do a great job of protecting the rims, so 220 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 4: it is difficult. You know, they do a great job 221 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 4: of staying on their feet, they can test everything in 222 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: the lane, so they're a difficult team to score on, 223 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 4: and they do a good job of not fouling, you know, 224 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: So I think you have to give them credit to 225 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: in that situation. 226 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: And you mentioned in the post game to us two 227 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: that because of the presence that they have, and man, 228 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 3: now they're playing those two brothers in their one seven 229 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: two one seven one, uh, the one guy all of 230 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: a sudden throwing in threes. I mean, they're probably future 231 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: pros that maybe you thought there was a little hesitancy 232 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: in maybe some of your guards trying to approach in 233 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: there and score, which is understandable, But at what point 234 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: do you just go throw your body in and hope 235 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: to draw a fall time. 236 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: And it's a fine line because one thing, you know, 237 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 4: going into the game, like we told our guys basically 238 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 4: like launching yourself in there to shoot a shot against 239 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: that kid is a turnover. Yeah he's gonna block it, 240 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 4: you're gonna miss it off the glass or whatever. They're 241 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 4: going to get the rebound and its numbers the other way. 242 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 4: So you gotta be careful because to my opinion, those 243 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: are turnovers. But there's that gray area again where sometimes 244 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 4: I thought like maybe we were behind them, or we 245 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: had an opportunity, you know, to attack them, And so 246 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: where do you where do you find that that balance 247 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 4: that way? And I thought there were a few more 248 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: opportunities maybe we could have attacked him. But again, like they're, 249 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 4: in my opinion, have a chance to win the Big 250 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 4: Ten and play late into March for a reason. 251 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got they've got a talented roster, there's no doubt. 252 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 3: A couple of other things to talk about from that. Again, 253 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 3: even late in that game, there were opportunities like it 254 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: wasn't There weren't a lot of turnovers. In fact, you 255 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: guys have really taken care of the basketball pretty well here, 256 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: I mean most of the year, but especially now in 257 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: this stretch of Big Ten games, since the turn of 258 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: the calendar year. 259 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 5: I think, yeah, we've been good. 260 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 4: Our teams have kind of gotten that way sometimes, you know, 261 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 4: early in the year, you turn it over a little 262 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 4: bit because I want our guys also taking you know, 263 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 4: try you have to sometimes you have to go try 264 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: to make the play. You can't just play conservative out there. 265 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 4: But I do our guys are doing a nice job 266 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: of taking care of the ball. I think it was unfortunate. 267 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 4: I don't remember what we have seven in this game 268 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 4: was or whatever. The bad part is like three of 269 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 4: those were pick sixes, you know that the catastrophic ones 270 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: that led to you know, direct scores for them. But 271 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 4: I agree, our guys have been doing a good job 272 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 4: at taking care of the ball. They're sharing it, they're 273 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 4: being patient, they're playing well together. And you're right, I mean, 274 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 4: there were a few more plays to be made. Was 275 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 4: a well played game, I thought, you know, on both 276 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 4: sides of the ball, and not a lot of turnovers, 277 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: not a lot of fouls. They just had a little 278 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 4: bit more in the tank than we did. Yeah, all right, well, 279 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: let's take our first break. We'll come back again basketball tonight. 280 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: We take care at five o'clock. 281 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: Five point thirty is the tip time from Columbus, Ohio, 282 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 3: Minnesota and Ohio State.

Tonight, 388 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 3: It's game Day Minnesota and Ohio State Guardgie is out west. 389 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: It was interesting they go for women lost on a 390 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 3: Sunday to Washington. And I was listening to Don Plitzewhite's 391 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: postgame interview and you just referenced in our first segment 392 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 3: something she said in the postgame, and it makes sense. 393 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 3: But I don't know if I've ever heard a coach 394 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: articulate it. Now I've heard it twice in a couple 395 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: of days. She was disappointed in a misslayup means it's 396 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: a layup on the other end, and you were talking 397 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: about that just flying in. If you miss a shot close, 398 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 3: then it becomes the other way. And I hadn't I 399 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 3: guess I hadn't heard her if I have them old 400 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: enough to have forgotten. But now the twice now two 401 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 3: coaches here have talked about that. So take me through 402 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: that thought process of why a miss layup becomes a 403 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 3: layup on the other end quickly. 404 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 4: Well, you know, if you pay attention to the NBA, 405 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: start with the NBA and you watch, like a misshot 406 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 4: at the rim or the rack zone as we call it. There, 407 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 4: a misshot goes in there and the other team gets 408 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 4: the rebound. Watch how quickly typically the other team gets 409 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 4: a great shot on the other end. You know, if 410 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 4: the other team gets the rebound, typically you know, a 411 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 4: guy goes in there, misses it, they get the reb 412 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 4: They've gotten numbers a lot of times. Right, they're running 413 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 4: on top of them, and a good team is going 414 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 4: to get out and transition and probably create a great shot. 415 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 4: If you go in there and launch and you fall down, right, 416 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 4: you go in there and you launch and you fall down, 417 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 4: and you miss one at the rim, the other team 418 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: gets the reboundle Now it's it's really five on vieah, 419 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 4: it's really a power play, like you said, and so 420 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 4: same kind of thing. You take it in there, you 421 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 4: get launched, the other team blocks it off the glass 422 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 4: or blocks it and they come up with it. 423 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 5: All your momentums going you know the other way. 424 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 4: Those are usually number situations, and if you pay attention 425 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 4: to it and you watch it, it holds true. And 426 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 4: so I think finishing or being able to get fouled 427 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 4: in the lane is such an art because getting fouled 428 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 4: is the best thing. Getting fouled and scoring really is 429 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 4: the best thing. But being able to finish those plays 430 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 4: in there is massive. So that's kind of what I'm 431 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 4: talking about, you know, And if you pay attention to 432 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 4: the game, you see what I mean. Most teams are 433 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: going to turn those around and really get out the 434 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 4: other way and run. 435 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: You mentioned in the pregame with the ALIGNA that they 436 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 3: crash the boards, and so you thought there might be 437 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: a chance that if you were to clear the glass, 438 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 3: maybe get out and go. 439 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 2: Did you get as many as you hope too? 440 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 6: On that? 441 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 4: I actually thought that that really did play true. I 442 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 4: thought we were able to get it out. We were 443 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 4: able to get in transition, and we got some good 444 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 4: looks in transition, got some good opportunities that way, just 445 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 4: didn't get enough of them. But I did think we 446 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 4: were able to do that in transition. I thought that 447 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 4: was pretty effective. So I think those things held your 448 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 4: We didn't get enough defensive rebounds, and when we did, 449 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 4: I did think we were able to steal some points 450 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 4: and rebounding. 451 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 3: You you had mentioned that that was a little scary 452 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 3: proposition because they're tall, they're long, they're athletic, and if 453 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 3: you're outsized, even a good box out, if you know, 454 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 3: with the skill they have, you can they can pluck 455 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 3: it from you. So you were mixing defenses and trying 456 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: to do some stuff and they were. You were getting 457 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 3: some misshots, but unfortunately they were getting some second chance points. 458 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 3: So there, you know, there's probably not a great answer 459 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 3: to try to minimize that. You were you were hoping 460 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 3: to minimize it as well. 461 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 5: You know, yeah, I mean I said there was a couple. 462 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 4: You know, he's trying to block out Evasitch on the 463 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 4: other end, and it's kind of a fifty to fifty 464 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 4: play and I'm screaming at the official. You know, he's 465 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 4: got to call one the whole You got to call 466 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 4: one of these over the backs, you know, and he's like, 467 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 4: think over the back. He just jumped over him and 468 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 4: grabbed it and you know, I'll be you know, most 469 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 4: of the time when I watch the film, there was 470 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 4: some truth to that, you know what I mean, And 471 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 4: there were some that they maybe could have called. But yeah, 472 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 4: I mean I think sometimes you know, that just. 473 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 5: Is what it is. There's a fifty to fifty play. 474 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 4: Both guys are in a scrum for the ball, and 475 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 4: you know a lot of times the guy who's got 476 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 4: great anticipation and is seven to one can go get 477 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 4: the ball. Sometimes people make the mistake and say, just 478 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 4: because you're tall, you're a good rebounder. 479 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 5: That's not true. 480 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 4: A lot of times tall guys, you know, they can 481 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 4: misstime their jump, they don't have a nose for the ball. 482 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 4: You see a lot of these smaller guys who are 483 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 4: excellent rebounders. In their case, I think they've got some 484 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 4: guys who are tall and do a great job of 485 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 4: anticipating and you know, going up getting the high pointing 486 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 4: the ball, really figuring out where it's coming off. 487 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 5: And could they spend a lot of time in practice 488 00:20:59,480 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 5: and rebounding. 489 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you look back Jordan Murphy, the 490 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 3: all time leading rebounder in Gopher history, I think six 491 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 3: six sixty seven, but he was so fast off the 492 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 3: floor and so anticipatory so to speak, that he would 493 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: be up and snatching the ball before a lot of 494 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 3: guys left the floor. And so there is some skill 495 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 3: to that. Jalen Crocker Johnson has some of that. 496 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 2: To him what looks like. 497 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 3: And it was noticeable he got the early fouls, he 498 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 3: had to take him out for a few minutes, and 499 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: he got the second file, and he took him out 500 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: when he was on the floor and not there was 501 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: I thought, a you know, not a knock on anyone 502 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: who's trying to fill his shoes, but you do probably 503 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 3: fall off a little rebounding wise when he's not out there. 504 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 4: I think that's true. And you know what a lot 505 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 4: of our sized obviously to begin with. I think reboundings 506 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 4: the other one that is that's really a translatable skill. 507 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 4: If you're recruiting a kid in high school or wherever, 508 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 4: and he's an excellent rebounder in high school, typically that 509 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 4: translates to the college level. And I think the pro 510 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 4: scouts will tell you somebody who's got great rebounding efficiency 511 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: numbers at the college level, no matter how big they are, 512 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: that usually carries over right to the pro So for 513 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 4: whatever reason. Man, the guys who have a nose for 514 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 4: the ball and can go get it and come up 515 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 4: with it, that that really translates. 516 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you think about you know, the al Teimers, 517 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 3: when you're thinking rebounding, you know, Rodman wasn't a seven footer. 518 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 3: I mean we talked about Murphy, even Trevor and Backway, 519 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: who was a good rebounder. Here he's, you know, not 520 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: seven foot in. Jalen Crocker Johnson, well, six' eight is 521 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 3: a is a big man in relative. Terms that's not 522 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: that's not a mountain tall guy in the big, ten. 523 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 5: Right, no it's not. 524 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: IT i Mean Charles barkley he had sixty, FOUR i, 525 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 4: mean was you, know great. Rebounder you could, go you 526 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 4: could go on and on and so, again that is 527 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 4: a skill that seems to be translatable across all. 528 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: Levels i'd be more Into Jalen Crocker. 529 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: Johnson now he's put back to back twenty plus and 530 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: eight rebound, games twenty and eight Against, wisconsin twenty two 531 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: and eight against The. Alani so if my math is, 532 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 3: right that's a forty two point sixteen rebound. 533 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: Back to back. 534 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 5: Games so that's that's a nice you, learn, ye, like, 535 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 5: yeah that's. 536 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: IT i did have to get the calculator out on. 537 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 3: That but, no, maybe but that was you, know he's 538 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 3: not that he. HASN'T i mean he's been playing pretty 539 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 3: consistent all, year but that that's a nice two game 540 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 3: stretch for. 541 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 4: You, yeah he's doing a great.
