Speaker 3: we offer our condolences to State of Hockey reporter and

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 3: podcaster Jesse Pearce, who, along with her three young children,

14
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: died over the weekend in a White Bear Lake house fire.

15
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: I mean, just an awful, awful story, obviously for them

16
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 3: and their family members, but for anybody to read, whether

17
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: you knew her or not. The family is survived by

18
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 3: her husband, Mike.

19
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Now.

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: I barely knew Jesse, said hi to her a million

21
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: times at wild games or practices, and once joined her podcast,

22
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: Our Down Beauties. Our friend Michael Russo wrote just the

23
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: most heartfelt tweet after hearing the news, and we'd like

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: to share that in a couple of seconds. But first,

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: Andrew Brunette, coach of the Nashville Predators said this about

26
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: Jesse in a postgame press conference after the Predators played yesterday,

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: a quote Bruno, I just want to pass on my

28
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: condolences for Jesse Pierce. I've known her a long time

29
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: and she's a wonderful person. Loved hockey, loved people, somebody

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: I look forward to seeing all the time when I

31
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: would go to Minnesota. So it's a sad day in hockey.

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: Her passion for the game, her passion for the Wild

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 3: is unsurpassed, and we're going to miss her.

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: It's a tragedy.

35
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: End quote and for Brunette from Michael Russo at Russo Hockey,

36
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: there are no words to express how heartbroken we all are.

37
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Jesse Pierce, Heinris was the most vibrant person, the life

38
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: of the party, always with a smile on her face,

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: always bringing a passion to every article and podcast and

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: interview she did. Jesse simply loved covering the Wild and

41
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: hockey throub Minnesota and had a way of brightening everyone's

42
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: day with her upbeat, bubbly personality. I have literally never

43
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: met anybody that had a way of being everybody's friend

44
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: more than anything, she absolutely loved Hudson Caden and Davery,

45
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: and was the greatest mother who did everything she could

46
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: to bring joy to her sweetest kids, even at Friday's

47
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: practice in her beloved Iowa state sweatshirt. She was so

48
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: excited to take them to the seasonal opening of Cup

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: and Cone in White Bear Lake seeing those precious pictures yesterday,

50
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: she provided them with another incredibly fun and loving day.

51
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: My heartbreaks for Mike the loss of his wife and children,

52
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: and Jesse's family, friends and colleagues. For this unimaginable loss,

53
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: this hockey community lost a wonderful, energetic, and of a

54
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: kind voice and storyteller and great a person. Life can

55
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: be unbearably unfairsometimes, and it's impossible to make sense of

56
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: this tragedy. Please keep Jesse and her beautiful kids and

57
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace

58
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: and support and happiness in the world. A lot of

59
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 3: tears were shed at the arena yesterday. We in the

60
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 3: Wild media and inside the Wild will miss seeing Jesse

61
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: every day, laughing with her every day. The press box

62
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: and press room won't be the same without her. It'll

63
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: be a lot quieter, a lot less funny, but her

64
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: passion and joy for covering this hockey team and sport

65
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: will remain Russo finishes. Sorry for the length of this,

66
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: but as Jesse knew better than most as my original

67
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: athletic quote, backup end quote, and somebody who always gave

68
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: me Minnesota Hockey Journal deadline extensions. As she used to joke,

69
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: I'm incapable of writing tight, especially about her rip Jesse Hudson,

70
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: Caden and Davery. And may God rest the soul of

Speaker 3: and those guys have won nine.

160
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: In a row.

161
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: Well done, tee Wolves, Finchy Finchy. The Minnesota Wild have

162
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: won one in a row. It's one in a row.

163
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: Poorfolly No. One in a row, Poor folly No. And

164
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: Saturday at Grand Casino, that was intense.

165
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 6: Bobby Brink rolls it, rink wide and twin Hughes gallops

166
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 6: to it, peels back and then spiking ahead. Beautiful pass,

167
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 6: breaking a load back in his sets a.

168
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Game the one boy.

169
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 6: He took that perfect pass and Hughes also a long pass.

170
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: He got behind the defense.

171
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 6: He goes in and buy himself and what a beautiful goal.

172
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: Indeed, Tom Reid, what a beautiful goal. Excellent call by

173
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: our next guest.

174
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 6: It's over two minutes left and overtime again. The faithful

175
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 6: here standing, hughes bolts for center ice over the offensive

176
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 6: boy cuts for the high slot right to play at

177
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 6: the brink.

178
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: It was Tim Brink.

179
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 6: Gathers he's got a man opened for Tera Senko shooting.

180

Speaker 3: That's the weekend rap courtesy of Northern Fire and Northern

182
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: there and likewise for wild Radio Box Joe O'Donnell, who

183
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: joins US now five points behind Dallas with eleven to

184
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 3: play in Vegas. Did you guys a solid last night

185
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: beating the Stars in regulation? So still a puncher's chance

186
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: to catch the Stars and get home ice. But what

187
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: a meat grinder that Saturday ot win was. And good

188
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: morning radio Joe.

189
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: Thanks ta always a pleasure, my friend.

190
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: What do you think about the final eleven here, brother,

191
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: trying to run down those Stars puncher's chance or what?

192
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think based on last night to your point,

193
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: like you know, given the Stars a point, but getting

194
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: the win Saturday, you kind of gained a little bit

195
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 4: of ground, right, But you know, I don't know how

196
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: big home ice is, to be honest, I know that

197
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: John Hines is you know, He's told me that they

198
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: want every advantage. Pop Home ice would be certainly an

199
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: advantage for having the last change in a potential seventh

200
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: game at home and all those things that all you

201
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: guys know, But I'm not too focused on that. We

202
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: kind of talked about this a little bit last week,

203
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: you and I. Just the health, the way the goaltending

204
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: is playing, you know, and just having the team kind

205
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: of ramped up in the right direction heading into the postseason.

206
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: Those are things that to me, you.

207
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: Know personally, that I'll be focused on a man with

208
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: that and when they meet Round one.

209
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up that way.

210
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: Who gets more help and why the Stars were down Saturday,

211
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: Rupe Hints and Miko Rantan in the wild without Capriso,

212
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: f Eric Sinek and Marcus Felino. Assumingly, all of those

213
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: players will will be ready when they meet in the playoffs.

214
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: So who do you think gets more help and why?

215
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 4: That's a great question. I don't hate being on the

216
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: fence on this program, but I kind of think it's

217
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 4: a wash to be honest. I mean, we know aboute

218
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: Lark saneck Is. You know, you could argue one of

219
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: the best two way fowards in the NHL. We know

220
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: what Caprice offerings to the table. We know what Moose provide.

221
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: Same thing for Dallas though with you know Ranton and Hints,

222
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: two of their better offensive players. Hint seems to rise

223
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 4: up in the big moments. We saw it Ranton, it

224
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: did last year in the playoffs against his former team

225
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: in Colorado. And they're also without Raddick Fox, who's a

226
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: name that you know, maybe more of the hardcore fans

227
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: and no kind of a fourth liner, penalty killer been

228
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: around the block. So Dallas would you know, potentially get

229
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: him back at some point as well. Both teams, I

230
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: can tell you this much, if if things hold serve

231
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: right now, both teams heading into a possible Game one

232
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: matchup are going to have three to four players out

233
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: of their lineup. That most teams, especially those not in

234
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: the playoffs, who died to having their roster like real

235
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: NHLers with hundreds of games of experience, with playoff experience,

236
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: and that the rosters are just so deep for both

237
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 4: Minnesota and Dallas that they're gonna have guy you know,

238
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: in the press box waiting for their opportunity. Again, that's

239
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: if everybody's healthy. Both these teams are so deep, so

240
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: eavinly matched. Again, We've been staring at this possible matchup

241
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: for a few months now, knowing this cell could shake out.

242
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: You know, now we're ten eleven games from it really

243
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: becoming in the fruition.

244
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: H Gus, how about the goala Saturday? Gus had bailed

245
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: he had to bail them out on some four minute kales.

246
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, how how big was Gus bus on Saturday?

247
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was great. And and to my point earlier,

248
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 4: like that's that's what you want to see. If you're

249
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: a wild fan, like if if, if that's the Philip

250
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: Gustison you're going to get in a playoff series, you

251
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: gotta like your chances against anybody, and I mean anybody,

252
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: and that and that's a really encouraging thing. I mean

253
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 4: post Olympics, you know, the Rangers game was a little

254
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: bit of a hiccup, but other than that, he has

255
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: been phenomenal post Olympics. And that's coming off in Olympics

256
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 4: for Team Sweden, where you know, essentially lost the starting

257
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: job by the time the mental round rolled around. So

258
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: definitely the Philip Gustison you want to see reading plays well,

259
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 4: you know, John Hines after the game said, yeah, you'd

260
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: admitted they would like to have maybe had some better

261
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: reads on the PK, specifically against what Dallas likes to do.

262
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: They have boy doubts so much down on the power play.

263
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: They were whipping it around. Wyatt Johnston just set their

264
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: franchise record for power play goals in a single season,

265
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: breaking Dino Ciarelli from the mid eighties with the Minnesota

266
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: north Stars. So that that just happened yesterday and they

267
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 4: lost to Vegas, so Jason Robertson can fill it up.

268
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 4: And again that was their power play without Hinton rampting it.

269
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: And yet the Wild PK was really good, you know,

270
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: shorthanded there for six minutes in the third period of

271
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: double minor to brink in the penalty before that, the

272
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: brodein Gustison was huge, and you know, I just really

273
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 4: like the way the penalty kill overall has developed for

274
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: the Wild with the trade deadline acquisitions, winning more draws,

275
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: getting more shots feels like they've got a deeper rotation

276
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: than they've ever had and at least my time here

277
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: and the penalty kills trending in the right direction. I

278
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: think the goal of the Stars scored in the late

279
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 4: in the first period PA was just a third power

280
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: play goal the Wild of.

281
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 5: Allowed in the month of March.

282
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: And this is Joe O'Donell Radio Voxa calling Wild games

283
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: on FM one hundred point three KFA and at Wild

284
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: Radio Jovia X, at Wild Radio Jovia X for the

285
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: Morning Scape Minute, et cetera. And I'm glad, I'm glad

286
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: you mentioned that that first goal by Dallas because it's

287
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: Zuki goes to grinding in the defensive end and and

288
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: he gets four minutes and then they win the faceoff

289
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: and Robertson scores. So if you'd like watched these games

290
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: against Dallas over the years and you've called them all,

291
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: I mean, there was a little bit of like great.

292
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 3: I mean, all they do is score on the on

293
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: the power play against this there were four of four.

294
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: After Robertson's goal, they won that face off. You got

295
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: Zuki in a spot grinding where maybe he wouldn't be

296
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: a players were healthy and that That's what really impressed

297
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: me with Saturday, despite the omissions of the high end players,

298
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 3: is it seemed like Dallas was able to suck the

299
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 3: Wild into the type of game they want to play

300
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: and Minnesota still won.

301
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: Yep, it's it's a great sign. I really thought going

302
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: into the game, P eight, that's the whild we're gonna play. Well,

303
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 4: we knew the last five games prior to Saturday, just

304
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: want to win. Some good moments, some not some good moments,

305
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: But you just wondered, like, what was the motivation level.

306
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: Let's be honest.

307
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 4: You're in a you're pretty much in a playoffs, but

308
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: you pretty much know you're playing Dallas. If not, you're

309
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 4: playing Colorado like that much is guaranteed, and you know

310
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: you're taking on the Rangers, the Maple Leafs, the Flyers

311
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: and no offense to those teams, but they don't have

312
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 4: the you know, the draw, the anticipation of a game

313
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 4: like playing Dallas or a week prior when Utah came

314
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: to town and they had beaten a few times in

315
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: a row and you knew of that Wild team would

316
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 4: be ready for that game. I'm not making excuses for

317
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 4: these guys. But if eighty two games, you're not always

318
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 4: going to be at your best. And even though they

319
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: weren't their best, they played some you know, some close

320
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: games in that stretch. Just coming to town, you know,

321
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 4: with Dallas coming to town, I just had a feeling,

322
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 4: you know, the veteran guys on the team would be right,

323
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: even if you're without pre self and Eric Sek. I

324
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 4: just I just knew deep down that they would come

325
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 4: out and give it a good show. And they certainly

326
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 4: did that, and a rally from a depth ship to

327
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 4: win that hockey game in thrilling fashion, to get contributions

328
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: from new guys like Brink Hughes back on the score

329
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: sheet after being held off for the last three games,

330
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 4: which is, you know, anomaly in his time with Minnesota.

331
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 4: That Tarasenko get his twentieth goal of the season. What

332
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 4: a off season acquisition that's turning out to be as

333
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 4: he's getting better and better down the stretch. I think

334
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: there's a lot of positives right now for the Wild

335
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 4: The fans should be truly excited about that this could

336
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: be again a year where they hope to get out

337
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: of that first round which has been such struggle, and

338
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 4: really give this.

339
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: A good run Radio Joe Wild, How would you describe

340
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: how the Stars want to play? I mean it seems

341
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: to be this schematically sound, methodical style aimed at sucking

342
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: the vibe out of road arenas.

343
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 4: They're really good, you know, I think they could play

344
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 4: on Mars and give the act of a game. Like

345
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: their home and road splits are incredible. They're kind of

346
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: under the radar this year because it's just how good

347
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: Colorado has been really since the jump. But the numbers

348
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: of Dallas is putting up and some of their you know,

349
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: shots against per game and goals against per games all

350
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 4: really really like just strong. The one area where I've

351
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: been surprised they don't get a lot of shots on goal.

352
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 4: They're bottom third in the league in shots per game,

353
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 4: so maybe that's it. You know, there's not a high

354
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: shot volume team for whatever reason. But in talking to

355
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: John Hines over the weekend, you know they've got a

356
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: new coach in Glenn Gallatzon, who spent time in Dallas

357
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: many years ago, but most recently he was with Edmonton

358
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: in a we go the Oilers had great success, So

359
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 4: in Dallas fire Pete the Boy and hired Glenn galats

360
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: In the summer. Some might have been surprised, right, Dallas

361
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: coming off another fifty win season, but they just didn't

362
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: get out of that conference final again, losing Edmonton. Gallatin

363
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: runs a different a different system, right, They're they're a

364
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: little bit more of like a zone team, and their

365
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 4: defensive zone they're not man on man. They front a

366
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 4: lot of shots. They tried to push on possession, as

367
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 4: Sean Hine says, So if there's a loose park or

368
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 4: a fifty to fifty puck that they come up with,

369
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 4: they're flying the zone. So they're doing something differently than

370
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: they did under Pete the board. And you got to remember,

371
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: until Saturday, these two teams hadn't played since December, right

372
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 4: before the Wild got Quinn used, so it had been

373
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 4: a while. I think it was good to see them

374
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: firsthand for a you know, for a pre scout perspective,

375
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: from the Wild players perspective. Okay, now we know how

376
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 4: they played for a while, we've kind of refreshed ourselves.

377
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: There is one more meeting between the two teams coming up.

378
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: I don't know that either team will show a lot

379
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: of cards in that game by that point, you know,

380
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: April the Knife maybe everything's already salted away. You know

381
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: where you're starting, you know you're playing them, So that

382
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 4: might be a little week that might be a weird

383
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 4: late regular season game that would normally have big implications.

384
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: So still a little bit to be decided here, But

385
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: I think it was good for the Wild and Stars,

386
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: probably from you know, both their perspectives, to see each

387
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 4: other firsthand, to kind of get a feel for how

388
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 4: they want to play, and and then we'll see where

389
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 4: this thing kind of settles over the next couple of weeks.

390
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: Man, you laid that out beautiful. And just a couple

391
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: to close here for Joe O'Donnell at Wild Radio, Joe

392
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: Vax Bobby Brink, was that the best game from Minnetonka's

393
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 3: Bobby Brink wearing the colors he scored to make it

394
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: one one and man, he was all over the place

395
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: making plays.

396
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean John Hines has used the word tenacious

397
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 4: with him a lot, and that's I mean, that's how

398
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 4: I describe his game. It's he's got the skill, he's

399
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: got the skating, but he's got the will and uh

400
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: for a guy that's you know, let's be honest, my size,

401
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: it's pretty incredible. You know, there's not a lot of

402
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: guys at his size doing what he's doing across the NHL.

403
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 4: I mean, really, there's I don't know less than one

404
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 4: per team if I had to just guess. I thought

405
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 4: it was kind of cool after the game the other

406
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: night where I asked him about Jared Spurgeon, you know,

407
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: being honored for a thousand games, and I said, you know,

408
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: you're not. You haven't been a teammate of Spurgeon long,

409
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: but you played against him, Like what do you make

410
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: of it? Totally forgetting that Bobby Brinks so young, he

411
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: grew up watching Jared Spurga, you know, and that's the

412
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 4: first thing he kind of said. It was like, oh,

413
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: you know, we used to watch I watched them all

414
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 4: the time as a you know, because I was making

415
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 4: a comparison, like you're both kind of undersize. Here's this

416
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: guy playing a thousand games, you know, what do you

417
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 4: know about him? And of course being from Minnetonka, he's like,

418
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: you know, I watched him growing up, and you know,

419
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 4: probably makes Spurgeon feel old when he hears stuff like that,

420
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 4: But I thought it was a cool perspective. And you know,

421
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 4: Jared s Virgeon has influenced and inspired probably a generation

422
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 4: of hockey fans in some ways because of his size,

423
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 4: because of the way it goes about his business. It

424
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 4: probably much like his leadership style and his kind of

425
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: quiet demeanor off the ices.

426
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: It's under the radar, hey men.

427
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 4: My brother obviously made an you know, made an impact

428
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: on Bobby Brink and it's great to see Bobby playing

429
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 4: well in a wild sweater and with that tenacity to

430
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: his game. It's been a nice edition, all.

431
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: Right, man.

432
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: A couple of to close here, Joe as to catch

433
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: a plane. Uh, the teams at Tampa Bay, Florida and

434
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: Boston this week, not back home for a for a

435
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: week and change, like a week and a half, week

436
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: and a half and then a game against Vancouver. What

437
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: are you expecting this roadie against those three tough squads,

438
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: the Lightning, the Champs and the Bruins.

439
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, really looking forward to it. Three excellent hockey teams.

440
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 4: I know the Panthers are going to probably miss the

441
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 4: playoffs here this year because of the litany of injuries

442
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: they endured, but still get it twisted. They are the

443
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 4: two time defending champs for a reason. You're going to

444
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: be in there holding so that's a tough one. Uh,

445
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: Tampa tomorrow will be interesting. They're coming off four game

446
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: road trip. They just played yesterday and Calgary. My guess

447
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: is as they travel back today, so that'll be you know,

448
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: we'll see what kind of legs they have. But Tampa,

449
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 4: after the Wild worked them pretty good in Saint Paul

450
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 4: in early March, is you know, they found their game again.

451
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: And then Boston is one of the better home records

452
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: in the league. Certainly been a surprise story this year.

453
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 4: They're you know, battling out for a wildcard playoff spot

454
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 4: or a spot in the Eastern Conference. So three really

455
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: good measuring stick games. Hopefully Marcus Fallino comes back at

456
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 4: some point, hopefully get Caprice off as well. Eric Sinek

457
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 4: will see, but it should be a good test for

458
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: the Wild. Really looking forward to these games, all right.

459
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: Joe in well, last one here uh with with without

460
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 3: Caprice off and Eric Sinak like, in what ways do

461
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: they play differently when those guys are down? Do you

462
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: notice any change of play style or not?

463
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: Really?

464
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 4: I mean, ideally you don't want that, you know, you

465
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 4: want to play the same way amount who's in the lineup,

466
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 4: But it's just it's just for me. It's about opportunity, right,

467
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: The lines are gonna look a little different. You're gonna

468
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: have maybe a Bobby Brink slotted a little higher than

469
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 4: you would. Maybe it's a little bit more ice time,

470
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: some of those double shifts to go to Caprice off,

471
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: go to Boldie. Maybe Marcus Johans is employed in a

472
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 4: different role. We've seen this Hartman, Zucarello Tarasenko line has

473
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: some success since they were put together on the last

474
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: home stand. So I just think when when guys are

475
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 4: out of the lineup, it's it's obviously tough, right, you're

476
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: missing some big pieces, but it gives other guys opportunity.

477
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: I think at the same time, it lets the coaches see,

478
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 4: you know, who else might work with a different combination

479
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 4: of players alongside them, and that could be good in

480
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 4: the long term, right, Like if you lose Eric Snecker

481
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 4: Caprice Off in a playoff game or miss a playoff game. Okay,

482
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 4: at least we know three weeks ago we were without

483
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 4: those guys, and we saw it last year. Well it

484
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 4: got unfortunately far too come. We'll play without those two

485
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 4: star players and just means other guys got to step up.

486
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 4: And also gives you an idea of maybe where other

487
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 4: guys can slot should you need to.

488
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: Change things updour in a game man, continue to call

Speaker 3: and J G. J G joins us right now, Well,

516
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: that was amazing. You got him at the wire and

517
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 3: of the barn seemed to be electric.

518
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: What was that like? In good morning?

519
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: Good morning? It was electric.

520
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 5: It was electrical weekend, over ten thousand people each game

521
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 5: going back to Friday. They had more yesterday. And yeah,

522
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 5: everybody talks about the barn and you remember Pa Cincinnati

523
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: Gophers nineteen ninety eight, back in the day, what it

524
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 5: could be like and what it is like when it's

525
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 5: full like that and there's a good.

526
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: Game going on. It was. It was magical. It was

527
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: amazing and it was WOWD. I don't know how you.

528
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 5: Feel when you have your headset on. You can't always

529
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 5: feel exactly the energy so I was asking people how

530
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 5: loud it actually was, and that people were saying it

531
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 5: was a lot ut they've heard it in years. It

532
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 5: was just a crazy environment.

533
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was thinking about Man Kenyon Martin,

534
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: Melvin Levitt and just the barn being on fire in

535
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: ninety eight is with Wobble as we went wobbling across

536
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: the street, that that a Maya Battle baseline game winner.

537
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: That was a hard shot man. The ole miss player

538
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: in front of her defended it perfectly.

539
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got screenshot. I think my uncle is.

540
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 5: You can imagine the text were kind of flying around yesterday.

541
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 5: I think my uncle was watching the game and he's

542
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 5: sent a screenshot of her basically letting the shot go

543
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: on that baseline and I don't know how she got

544
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: it off. Now, that's Amaya's really good. Obviously, she's had.

545
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: A great career.

546
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 5: She's one that can just elevate over people and kind

547
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 5: of get that shot whenever she wants. Team said that

548
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 5: once they saw her dribble a couple of times, they

549
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 5: knew exactly what she was doing and they figured she

550
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 5: would make it because they've seen her do it a

551
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 5: million times, especially from the mid range. But it was

552
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 5: great defense. I mean it was great defense. She was

553
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 5: right there, ends up falling down after the shot. I

554
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 5: still from the screenshot, don't know how she got it off.

555
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 5: She got it off by, you know, just the hair,

556
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 5: just a lick and fitting to have her kind of

557
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 5: do it. She's kind of been the one that has

558
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 5: kind of been the heartbeat of the team, I'd say,

559
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 5: all season long. She's the one that keeps people loose.

560
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 5: She's the one that, you know, kind of gets people organized. She's,

561
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 5: as they said yesterday, like every teammate's favorite teammate. And

562
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 5: so it's pretty fitting that in her final game, final

563
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 5: moment she does that.

564
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: How how about Mara Brown's three late to tie it

565
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: with a minute fifteen to play, Well, I mean she

566
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: had to be she had to be tired. I mean

567
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: she dribbles right, comes back to the left to get

568
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: the space and she hits it that. I'm watching that, man,

569
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: and I'm like that sheer tenacity right there. What a player.

570
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know she had not shot the ball

571
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 5: well for the first two months of the season. For

572
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 5: those that don't know, she missed basically the last two

573
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 5: years with different injuries.

574
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: Really the same injury.

575
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 5: Twice and it took her a while to get going.

576
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 5: Her shooting percentages were not very good in you know,

577
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 5: November and December.

578
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: She kind of hit her stride mid January and month

579
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: of February.

580
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 5: On she's really shot the ball well. And that's who

581
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: she was. I mean, this recruiting class that we've talked

582
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 5: about for five years now, she was the highest rated one.

583
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: She was kind of the headliner of it. Came in,

584
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 5: started as a freshman, led the team in scoring as

585
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 5: a freshman, and it just took a while. It took

586
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 5: a while for her to get back to where she

587
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 5: was a couple of years ago. And so it was

588
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 5: a great finished in the game when you think about

589
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: Mara doing that from Wisetta, Sophie Hart, you know, putting

590
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: them ahead to begin with, she's from Farmington Tory, McKinney,

591
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 5: Minnetonka having a big having a big run as well

592
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: on both ends of the floor, and then Amaya battle

593
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 5: from Hopkins finishing it off. It was just, you know,

594
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 5: especially the two with Mara and Amayah that came in together,

595
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: pretty special stuff.

596
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 1: Well, the the the Sophie heart and then dumb question

597
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: number one, Uh is she is she a lefty or

598
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: does she go to her left to get that basket?

599
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, she can go either side. Yeah she's right handed,

600
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 5: but she can go either side. And she's had a

601
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 5: great couple of years. She's really improved the last few years.

602
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 5: And they've Don's old school. You know, it's you know,

603
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 5: everybody now is into you know, shooting a million threes

604
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 5: and analytics. Right, we've seen that in every sport. Don

605
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 5: kind of starts at old school, where if she wants

606
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 5: to establish the inside game. First, they've got a lot

607
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 5: of three point shooters, but she wants to establish things

608
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 5: inside and they weren't really able to do that a

609
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 5: ton yesterday and even on Friday against Green Bay to

610
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 5: a lesser extent, but Sophie's been a huge part of

611
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 5: this thing because once she does get it inside, there

612
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 5: typically are more things that are opened up for these shooters. So, yeah,

613
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 5: she can go both sides. She can go either hand,

614
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 5: and that's why you know she's averaged double figures again

615
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: for a senior year.

616
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: Wow.

617
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: Jag justin Guard, the play by play voice for the

618

621
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: And I ask because it's my experience when working with

622
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 3: a team and things are going really well. Truly, there's

623
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: nothing more professionally surreal.

624
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I say it this way, like it's fun with

625
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 5: this group. Number One, I always feel really good for

626
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 5: the fans, whether it's Gopher football or the stuff with

627
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 5: Gopher basketball. I just feel it because they're the ones

628
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 5: that invest the money, the time, they watch all the games,

629
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 5: and so that's what was really fun, is like all

630
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 5: these videos that are coming out, like just to look

631
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 5: at the reactions of the people behind the players, behind

632
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 5: the bench, how much fun people are having. Like we

633
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 5: know it's Minnesota sports fans. We're a resilient bunch, right,

634
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 5: take a lot of gut punches over the years, and

635
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 5: so to have moments like they had yesterday, I always

636
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 5: feel great for the fans first and foremost because it's

637
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 5: just fun to see people having such a blast and

638
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 5: making memories and all the kids that were there yesterday,

639
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 5: including mine, and seeing how they do, you know, just

640
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 5: how they process everything. That's always the best. And then

641
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 5: with this group PA, I feel good for them because

642
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 5: a lot's been written about it and a lot's been

643
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: said about it. But you think about Mara and Amaya specifically, and.

644
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 2: You know, coming here four years ago, program.

645
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 5: Wasn't in a very good spot. They wanted to change it.

646
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 5: They hung through a coaching change, they hung through a

647
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 5: lot of losing, they hung through a lot of injuries,

648
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 5: and so to have that payoff like they did yesterday,

649
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 5: that's why it's cool. That to me is why it's fun.

650
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 5: And you throw in Sophie Hart, you have Tory McKinney,

651
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 5: join Grace Kroholski from Wisconsin who's had a great career.

652
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: She'll be back next year.

653
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 5: You've got Neamiah Hollow, You've got just go down the list,

654
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 5: a couple of grad transfers, people that have all bought

655
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 5: in when there maybe wasn't a lot of reason to

656
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 5: do that. And that's why it's fun to watch that

657
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 5: whole process from four years ago, essentially that patience be rewarded.

658
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's been very cool to watch this thing

659
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 5: build and grow and to be around it as closely

660
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 5: as I am. It's been very fun and rewarding.

661
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: Time for two more.

662
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: Last one from that game, yesterday, which was terrific, sneaky.

663
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: Massive play in this game was the charge battle drew

664
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 3: on McMahon. Yeah, now that's all missus best player for

665
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: those that don't follow it closely, and fouling her out

666
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: with foreign change to go, how much did that impact

667
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: the game?

668
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Changed it all?

669
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 5: And that's what I said. I said when she filed

670
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 5: out had here's your chance. The door has been opened. Right,

671
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 5: you have an opportunity because she was a problem they

672
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 5: were having.

673
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: She's good, she's All.

674
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 5: American, First Team All All SEC. They're familiar with it

675
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 5: because she was at Ohio State, you know, the first

676
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 5: three years of her career, scored twenty five on them.

677
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 5: Last year in Columbus first team All Conference, two years

678
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 5: in a row. She was killing them and it was

679
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 5: it was a smart play by battle and she even

680
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 5: talked about it after the game. She was scoring over me,

681
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: she was scoring through me. But she is physical, and

682
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 5: I thought, if I just get myself in the right

683
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 5: spot and I and I hit back and I take

684
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 5: the charge, we'll see what happens. And it changed everything.

685
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 5: And that's what I said on the broadcast. You have

686
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 5: the windows open because it was a tough situation they

687
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 5: were things were not looking very good with how easily

688
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 5: Cody McMahon was making things look and how she was

689
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 5: kind of keeping the Gophers at arm's length. So that

690
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 5: was a huge play in the game. And just having

691
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 5: her pick up early fouls, you know, to two fouls

692
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 5: in the first two and a half minutes, you know,

693
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 5: kept her on the bench for a while in the

694
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 5: first half. So it was a big part of it.

695
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 5: The Gophers had foul trouble of their own with three

696
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 5: of their starters if they had to kind of navigate,

697
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 5: but none was bigger than the Cody McMahon fault.

698
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: All right.

699
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: Lastly, Guards, he's going to be up late tonight. Guardsey

700
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: squad gets the winner of Oklahoma State at UCLA this evening.

701
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: It is a nine o'clock tip tap Locally, the Bruins

702
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 3: are the one seed and thirty two and one, and

703
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 3: the ESPN predictor bit has them a ninety six and

704
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 3: a half percent winner tonight. I think they've won twenty

705
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: six in a row. What do you think about tonight's contest?

706
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think I need to stay up quite frankly,

707
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 5: I think I maybe know let's go. I think I'll

708
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 5: DVR it just to maybe watch it later, But the

709
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: result would be shocking if they don't win. They're really

710
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 5: they're national championship good. And I was telling somebody yesterday

711
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 5: in Iowa City, our spot is courtside, and so Jan

712
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 5: Jensen there Iowa coaching Don Plitzel were talking before the game.

713
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: Iowa had just returned from the West coast trip. Minnesota

714
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 5: had played Ucla two weeks before, and Jan Jensen I

715
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 5: overheard her telling down there's complimenting her on how well

716
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 5: they played Ucla. She said, you guys played Ucla so

717
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 5: well Bruins still won by double digits. Like that's the

718
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 5: team that we're that we're dealing with here. Lauren Bets

719
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 5: might be the player of the year. He's got a

720
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 5: great guard named Keiki Rice from Washington d C. Sidwell

721
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 5: Friends School where all the President's kids used to go.

722
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 5: They have everything and they're at national championship contender. It

723
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 5: would take a heck of an effort for the Gophers

724
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 5: to pull it off. They will not be favored on

725
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 5: Friday night in Sacramento, but pretty cool opportunity to go

726
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 5: to go try it against maybe one of the top

727
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 5: two teams. In the country them in Yukon, who you know.

728
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 5: They did play pretty well when they were here at

729
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 5: Williams Arena back in January, so it'll be cool. But

730
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 5: UCLA is extremely, extremely good.

731
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: Don't want to put you on the spot too much here,

732
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: guard Zie, but like anything for the bands, like Gophersports

733
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: dot Com or any any junkets or packages or anything

734
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 3: for fans who want to get out to Sacramento.

735
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 5: I do know that Creative Charters, youre guys, Steve Urban,

736
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: Stephen Dorothy, they're doing something they always from things like this.

737
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: I know they're doing.

738
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a full charter, but they're

739
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 5: handling a lot of different travel bits for it.

740
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 2: So if I hear.

741
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 5: Anything else, it'll be on social media. But I do

742
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 5: know Creative Charters per usual as trying to trying to

743
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 5: get some people out there. I know a lot of

744
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 5: the parents are taking advantage of that part as well.

745
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,319

Speaker 2: That was unbelievable.

751
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: Tell me you didn't think that bandy shot went in.

752
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,640

756
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,319

00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 3: Iowa Hawkeys Thursday and the Sweet sixteen, and coach Hoiberg

777
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 3: joins us. Now, all right, Tyler Tanner's half court shot

778
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: to win it. I mean you were right next to it,

779
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: rim rattling in and out. Heartbreak for them. Did you

780
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: think it was going in?

781
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 5: Right when it left his hand, my heart shucked. You

782
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 5: could see it was right online and it was. It's

783
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 5: amazing that thing rimmed out. It hit exactly where you

784
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 5: need to hit it on the square, and it had

785
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 5: good arc on it as well.

786
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 2: It's not like you threw up a line drive. So yeah,

787
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: it feel.

788
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 5: Very fortunate to get out of that one. And you know,

789
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 5: I thought we played really well. I thought we had

790
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 5: great resiliency in that game. Our guys found a way

791
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 5: to battle through adversity. Vanderbilt was unbelievable in the second

792
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 5: half with their shot making. We ended up going to

793
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 5: a little bit of the zone and in the last

794
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 5: couple of minutes, and.

795
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 2: That kind of shifted the momentum.

796
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 5: Back our way and made a big play on that

797
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 5: last one where Price Stanford, the a couple of guys

798
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 5: ran at hmmy at Braden Fraker's streaking on the court

799
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 5: for the game winner.

800
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: Have you have you ever had an end game feeling

801
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: fred like that, I mean, with with a loud crowd

802
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: in a massive game and your hearts fall into your

803
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: feet as you watch that thing slowly go through the air.

804
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

805
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 5: It was crazy because you know, for anybody to watch

806
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 5: the game, I mean, our fans were absolutely phenomenal.

807
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 2: They they just.

808
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 5: Took over the Oklahoma City Arena and you know, our

809
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 5: guys just went out there and set off that energy.

810
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 5: And when that ball was in the air, there was

811
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 5: an eerie silence. And then when that thing hit the rim,

812
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 5: I'm not sure anybody knew what to do of it.

813
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: I mean I just put my head hand to my head.

814
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 5: I damn near fainted, and you know it's kind of

815
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: just a gasp. And then when it went out, I

816
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 5: think everybody started the celebration, but it was a couple

817
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 5: of seconds after that thing rimmed.

818
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: Out, just with how close it was.

819
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 5: We had a similar situation when We made a sweet

820
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 5: sixteen game at Iowa State where DeAndre Caine went in

821
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 5: against North Carolina and he hit a crazy layup. They

822
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 5: tried to call a time out, they went to the replay,

823
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 5: they didn't end up giving it to him, and we

824
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 5: ended up winning a game without that type of drama.

825
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 5: But yeah, it was you know, get that Tanner kid

826
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 5: is unbelievable. You know, he says sub six foot guard,

827
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 5: but he's an incredible athlete shot maker.

828
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought he was terrific.

829
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 5: He watched those guys on film, and you know, they

830
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 5: had just beaten Florida by twenty in the SEC tournament.

831
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 5: So that's a really good team. It's obviously a great

832
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 5: win for our program.

833
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: All Right, I got one for you down memory lane.

834
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 3: We go May two thousand and four, Freddy's on the

835
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 3: timber Wolves Game seven, Divisional round against Sacramento. Chris Weber

836
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 3: at a twenty five footer that spun around the rim

837
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 3: three times and popped out. You guys advanced to the

838
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals.

839
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean I was. I was in the arena Target

840
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: Center for that and it made my hair white. Do

841
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: you do you remember that one?

842
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: I was standing underneath the rim it.

843
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 5: Literally, I was like, that's going in and there's no

844
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 5: way that that going in.

845
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 2: Sweber called our game and.

846
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 5: We actually talked about that that play, and yeah, that's

847
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 5: as close, I think, is what happened to us against

848
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt the other day, because I literally was saying I

849
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 5: had the best view in the arena. I was standing

850
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 5: right underneath the room, and I still can't believe that

851
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 5: ball didn't go in.

852
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: First first thing I thought of, you know, after, I'm like,

853
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 3: oh wow, it went in and out?

854
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: Holy cow?

855
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: All right?

856
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: When when you were being interviewed by Andy Katz after

857
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: the game, all right, I mean, you were all business

858
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 3: and one of your players was teasing you with a

859
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 3: headband and a towel and and I think you turned

860
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 3: and looked at him and were like, stop it, what

861
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: what the.

862
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 2: Heck happened was doing?

863
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 5: He was it was Sam's headband and he was he

864
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 5: was ringing the sweat onto my head. So it was

865
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 5: it was disgusting, and so what the hell are you doing?

866
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 5: And I, because I was still in shock, I still

867
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 5: didn't really know how to process everything with that shot.

868
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: That was still I.

869
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 5: Was literally shaking, and I didn't, you know, and Andy

870
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 5: asked me the first question.

871
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: I was speechos.

872
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 5: I still didn't know what to say at that point.

873
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 5: And then yeah, I got burcade. You could tell squeezingk

874
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 5: Sam sweat.

875
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: Onto my head.

876
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 5: So you know, I actually kind of liked the Gatoray

877
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 5: shower in the locker room.

878
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: Does it helped clean that?

879
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

880
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 3: The postgame interview, I mean yeah, I watched it three times.

881
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 3: I had to keep going back because I've never seen

882
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 3: anybody turn around in an interview and basically say hey,

883
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: stop it, because I mean, it was so it was

884
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: so tense. Everything was so tense at that moment. Man,

885
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean it was unbelievable. But Fred Hoiberg, coach of

886
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 3: the Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball team, sweet sixteen bound they get

887
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 3: Iowa this Thursday. More on that momentarily, but with seriously, Fred,

888
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 3: with that god given day you went it at the buzzer,

889
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 3: advanced to the sweet sixteen, and it's your son Sam's

890
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: twenty third birthday. So I bet you and Carol and

891
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 3: the family were giving banks after that.

892
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's obviously a special one that they'll never forget.

893
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 5: Sam and Charlie, you know, identical twins, and it just

894
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 5: was such a special moment, and you know, Charlie he

895
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 5: went to TCU and he's really been great for Sam

896
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 5: specifically just with everything that he's been able to do

897
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 5: to help Sam with his confidence. He hugs with them

898
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 5: every day and you know, he's just he's been a

899
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 5: big addition to our program. So I be able to

900
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 5: share that moment, you know, with Charlie with Sam, and

901
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 5: you know, obviously everything Sam has.

902
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: Been true with our program. He was here when we

903
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: were you.

904
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 5: Know, this program was at its lowest, and you know,

905
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 5: he's really been instrumental in helping us get us to

906
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 5: where we are right now, just with his every day

907
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 5: what he does on the court, but also more importantly,

908
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 5: as we were really building chemistry and you know, getting

909
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 5: the narrative flip, he was great off the court and

910
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 5: getting guys together and you know, just building camaraderie. And

911
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 5: I really believe that's made a difference with everything, not

912
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 5: just Sam, but we've got some other, you know, special

913
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 5: players in this program that have gotten us to where

914
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 5: we are right now. And you know, listen, it's been

915
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 5: a great ride. We're not satisfied. We got a great

916
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 5: matchup coming up. I guess a really tough physical, hard

917
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 5: Nos team. That performance they had against Florida was unbelievably impressive.

918
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 5: Excuse me in that game last night, and you know

919
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 5: we certainly got our hands full on Thursday.

920
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 3: When when you guys won Saturday. Fred you mentioned it earlier,

921
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 3: but I mean that the Huskers are known for this

922
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 3: with football and basketball. But but that dam base man.

923
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: I mean, the majority of the arena was donning red.

924
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 3: It was kind of like a home game, wasn't it.

925
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 5: It's as loud of an environment I have ever been

926
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 5: in a neutral site atmosphere and they you know, they've

927
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 5: got the decibel level, you know, reader in the arena

928
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 5: and they we set an all time record, broke it

929
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 5: for I think it was an Oklahoma City Thunder playoff

930
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 5: game and it.

931
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 2: Just it was I got I got chilled.

932
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 5: I got a moment when I walked out there that

933
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 5: first game and we played Troy, when I went out

934
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 5: there for the anthem and you know, just saw the

935
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 5: fans and you know how loud they were right before

936
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 5: the anthem played.

937
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 2: It was. It was surreal and you know they.

938
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 5: I'm telling you this, it was good for the Oklahoma

939
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 5: City bar bar scene.

940
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: You know, they sold out a Beer, I.

941
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 5: Know, had a lot of local establishments, so.

942
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 2: It was absolutely phenomenal.

943
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 5: We're thankful for it, and they absolutely played a big

944
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 5: part in us winning that those two games.

945
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: Hey hey, Freddie, you mentioned it earlier. Switch into that zone.

946
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 3: I mean it changed the whole game. I don't know

947
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 3: what you call it. It looked like a hybrid one

948
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: two two, but when when you switched to it late,

949
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 3: it played big time into the win. It almost totally

950
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 3: stopped Vanderbilt's three point game.

951
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 2: Was that the goal, Well, we needed to do something.

952
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 5: They had a really good rhythm going and we just

953
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 5: we had to switch it up just to try to

954
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 5: get them a little bit off balance, and and it worked.

955
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 5: You know a lot of times it doesn't. They did

956
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 5: hit one corner three on it, but you know, for

957
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 5: the most part, it just it slowed him down and

958
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 5: it took away the penetration that's where they were getting

959
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 5: the three on this on the spray out.

960
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: And the kickout.

961
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 5: So just something to you know, just to change change

962
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 5: the momentum of it.

963
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 2: And you know, it ended up working.

964
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 3: That that had to be as good a defense as

965
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 3: you've seen your team play. I mean that three point here,

966
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 3: you're talking about the kid who made the pass under

967
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 3: the basket. That was a hard pass. Every every pass

968
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 3: was hard in that zone. Is is that something that

969
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 3: you guys do frequently or or was it just a

970
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: change up at that time.

971
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 5: Well, we talk a lot about not only contesting every shot,

972
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 5: but contesting every pass, and our guys have done a

973
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 5: pretty darn good job of that for the most part.

974
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: We've you know, we've.

975
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 5: Done a good job with deflections. That's what really gets

976
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 5: our offense going is when we can turn teams over.

977
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: And he did listen.

978
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 5: Those guards are so dynamic, not not just Tanner but

979
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 5: Miles with those guys being able to get into the paint,

980
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 5: and then Nickel with his ability to shoot it.

981
00:49:58,719 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 2: And they're big shoot the balls.

982
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 5: So they put you in a lot of stress with

983
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 5: their offense and their package. You know, Mark Byington does

984
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 5: a great job coaching that team. And again, you know

985
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 5: a team listened. They started sixteen and oher and with

986
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 5: their only loss going into the tournament was the SEC

987
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 5: championship game against Arkansas. So that was a hot team

988
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 5: and we feel very fortunate to still be playing.

989
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 3: And good for the Huskers man, I mean, first trip

990
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: to the sweet sixteen in the history of the program,

991
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 3: Fred mentioned it earlier. You made it there twelve years

992
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 3: ago with Iowa State. After this victory, Fred, in the

993
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 3: locker room, did you do that viral sensation dance like

994
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 3: you did after beating North Carolina?

995
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 5: I was too cold. They dumped that ice bucket on me. Yeah,

996
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 5: Now I learned my lesson. That wasn't That wasn't a

997
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 5: good scene. And I'm not a very good dancer.

998
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: And you were still yelling at the player. Stop it.

999
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk to.

1000
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 2: Handy, all right.

1001
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: A couple of quickies to close here, Fred Hoiberg nine

1002
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: to noon. This is awesome. Some of your players. Rink

1003
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: Mass is a stud. We've talked about him before. He

1004
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: beat his guy to a putback and tied it at

1005
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 3: seventy two. Then freshman and Lincoln native Branden Frager streaks

1006
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 3: down m Kee for a seventy four to seventy two lead.

1007
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 3: That's the eventual final score. How did how did rank

1008
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 3: Mast help you all game?

1009
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? He started out to get hitting shots.

1010
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 5: He had three trees in in the first half, and

1011
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 5: you know that's what we need out of him and

1012
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 5: to be able to stretch the defense and get the

1013
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 5: get the big out of the paint that put back

1014
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 5: he had. We actually had back to back put back

1015
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 5: Sam had won yep where he streaked in and made

1016
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 5: it and then ranked on the next possession tied it,

1017
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 5: and then the last possession with what Price just making an.

1018
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: Unbelievable read to get Braiden. We had, we had.

1019
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 5: Numbers, you know, the big question you call the timeout

1020
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 5: or you let your guys go, And I just thought

1021
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 5: we had an advantage coming down and Price made a

1022
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 5: heck of it read to get Braiden that last that

1023
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 5: last layup that.

1024
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: It gave us the lead.

1025
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 5: So Yeah, Rink's been unbelievable for what he went through

1026
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 5: last year PA. He had one of the most invasive

1027
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 5: knee procedures that you can possibly go through. He's as

1028
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 5: disciplined a player at any level that I've ever coached

1029
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 5: or really been around, and you have to be. He

1030
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 5: can't skip ups. It's a full twelve month recovery with

1031
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 5: what he went through, and I'm just really happy to

1032
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 5: see him get this opportunity.

1033
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 3: Well, the kid who hit the eventual game winner. When

1034
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 3: you scratch below the surface on that Braden Frager nineteen

1035
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 3: year old freshman played at Lincoln Southwest High School, fifteen

1036
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 3: minutes south of the University of Nebraska, and he always

1037
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 3: wanted to be a Husker. I mean that's all you

1038
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 3: read before he even started there. And he looks like

1039
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: a special player, is he.

1040
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really a cool story. He actually came in

1041
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 5: a year early. He came into the seventeen year old

1042
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 5: Wow last year into the program, and he just really

1043
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 5: wanted to come in and develop. So we redshirted him

1044
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 5: and he played in the scout team last year and

1045
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 5: there was a time about midway through the year we

1046
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 5: almost scripped his right that's how well he was playing

1047
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 5: and ended up going on a little bit of a run. So,

1048
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 5: you know, just didn't want to burn the full year

1049
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 5: for him and just to see what he's been able

1050
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 5: to do. He plays with so much confidence, in a swagger.

1051
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 5: He went through a little bit of a tough stretch

1052
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 5: going into the end of the year, but he's got

1053
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 5: his he's got his confidence back, and we need him.

1054
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 5: He's so important to what we do. We need him

1055
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 5: to score it.

1056
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 2: Uh.

1057
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 5: Really athletic, He's he's most athletic kid on the team.

1058
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 2: And it's it's been.

1059
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 5: It's been great to see and they not just Brayden,

1060
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 5: but you know, he got Sam who graduated from a

1061
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 5: high school in Lincoln. You've got Cale Jacobson who went

1062
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 5: to a small school.

1063
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 2: You know, we've got a couple.

1064
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 5: Other guys Justin Bollison and Henry Burt and Will Cooper

1065
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 5: that are that are Nebraska kids. So you know, it's

1066
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 5: just been it's been fun. You really kind of with

1067
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 5: our seven man rotation. Three of those three of those

1068
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 5: kids are local products and that that's that's been fun

1069
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 5: for our fans.

1070
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,479
Speaker 1: All right, last one, But what's next?

1071
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 2: Plan?

1072
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,479
Speaker 3: Thursday? You guys split with the guys during Big ten play.

1073
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 3: Iowa upset Florida last evening. The one seed is out

1074
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 3: and that was a really exciting finish.

1075
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: Is it is?

1076
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 3: And then when I say easier, you know, like, don't

1077
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 3: take it completely literally, but is it easier to plan

1078
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 3: a game with a familiar foe?

1079
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 5: Well, we know each other very well. We played them

1080
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,439
Speaker 5: on Senior night in our last game of the year.

1081
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: We split lost, we.

1082
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 5: Lost it their place, one at our place, and both

1083
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 5: very competitive emotional games. So yeah, you know, as far

1084
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 5: as the preparation, knowing who each other is we know

1085
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 5: their personnel, you know, from that standpoint, Yes, you know,

1086
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 5: we do know each other as far as it is.

1087
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 5: It easier know because the way they play and the

1088
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,920

00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,520

1099
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,920

00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 5: They know their roles and it's a really tough physical

1108
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,719

1109
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,680

1120
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:09,040

1125
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 3: saw that interview, you know what I'm talking about. And

1126
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 3: I've watched a lot of postgame interviews in my time.

1127
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like that during an interview. I mean,

1128
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 3: these players for Nebraska were just so hyper and wound

1129
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 3: up after the game. Andy Katz is interviewing Fred Hoiberg,

1130
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 3: and you got this player who's like squeezing a sweaty

1131
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 3: sweat band that was on the head of Fred Sun

1132
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 3: Sam and the sweat was dripping on him and Fred

1133
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 3: just kind of smiled that one off. But then, like said,

1134
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 3: player took a towel and then started to try to

1135
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 3: wrap him around with it. And Andy Katz is asking

1136
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 3: to a question. Mid question, Fred turns around, looks at

1137
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 3: his player and basically goes, stop it, stop it. I mean,

1138
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 3: it was so nerve wracking, intense.

1139
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:10,120
