1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Bad common man, common man, noci pet solid plan, say.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: There be severit of broach, will fail to in. It's

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: time for.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: Common man, common.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Man, common man, charge of houseworks.

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: I going can what a shoot where we play?

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: That's nonsense. I'm got to be to man. It's time

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: for common man.

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: Huh.

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 4: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 4: average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 4: That means you're the best of the lousiest and the

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 4: lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 4: more for producing less and less while they have not,

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 4: nations encourage and inspire, and indeed require hard work and

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 4: maximum effort. If we deify the common man while they

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the end result

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 4: of such a lopsided race as that is too obvious

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 4: to require elaboration.

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like, just keep battling. They just keep battling,

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 5: They keep battling.

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 6: You don't know nothing.

23
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: Like that.

24
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 7: Don't like that.

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 8: You know, sometimes when you practice, you'll set up chairs when.

26
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: You run through chairs. Just the show zone and stuff.

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: The Viking defense looks like.

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 7: This chair, right, Damn dancer, what are you doing.

29
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: What how disappointing is at And that's ridiculous?

30
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 7: What are you doing again?

31
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: I've seen enough by a cousin's Paul. Put him on ice.

32
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: H God with a note in his mouse should be

33
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: able to shallows legs.

34
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say some nuts in boats. We got screwed.

35
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: Time for two more questions, guys.

51
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 11: We could just use that to our prepper, just talk slower.

52
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: You know, that's a really good idea.

53
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 11: You know, we could do a topic we haven't talked

54
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 11: about much, maybe for this hour, talk about the Vikings

55
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 11: quarterback situation, because.

56
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: We've not really weighed in on that. The hot topics

57
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: out there right now, well, there's a lot of them

58
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: out there.

59
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 12: I mean, you've got the Vikings quarterback situation.

60
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 11: You've got you know, is is.

61
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: Flora is going to re sign or not with the Vikings.

62
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 11: I saw some odds where they some odds that you'd

63
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 11: be interested in. They think the twins over under for

64
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 11: wins is fourteen this year, so it's not looking good.

65
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: There are the Thunder from down Under.

66
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 11: They're six and six, all these people that love the

67
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 11: Thunder and you know, prop them up on some type

68
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 11: of a pedestal and said, look at this poised professional

69
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 11: Polish club. They got blown out by the lowly Charlotte Hornets.

70
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: I gotta be kidding me.

71
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 11: I guess that's thunder basketball. But I got a couple

72
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 11: of excuse I you know, I mean the excuse computer.

73
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 11: And of course we got the Wild that the Wild

74
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 11: finally couldn't come back.

75
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 12: They lost the game last night.

76
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 11: Minnesota Golden go Over football teams getting all sorts of

77
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 11: commitments in the portal. Looks like we might be a

78
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 11: powerhouse with all of those topics to get. I'm not

79
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 11: sure where we'd start. We have this thing called the

80
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 11: wheel a topic. Why don't we give it a.

81
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Spring Commons golf?

82
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 13: Oh?

83
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 11: Well, while I was in Palm Spring, I shot in

84
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 11: eighty seven.

85
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: Where'd we play?

86
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 11: I played at the Princess Country Club in Palm Springs.

87
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 12: Where'd you hit it? On one?

88
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 11: I hit it right up the gut my first swing

89
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 11: since like early November, right up the gun, how.

90
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 12: Far from the green?

91
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: I had a six iron in my hand.

92
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 11: Second shot, I knocked it on the green pin high,

93
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 11: but about forty forty five feet. I hould around a

94
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 11: little bit well, then I lagged up to about two

95
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 11: feet in taen. All four of them, all four of

96
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 11: my rounds I had. I had two pars, a bogie

97
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 11: and a birdie. So I got off to a good

98
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 11: start and never had to hit two off the first tee,

99
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 11: and so I felt pretty good about where I'd been.

100
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 12: Where I'm going, where I'm at. So, oh, you know

101
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 12: what else I saw? There's an aerial.

102
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 11: Tram in Palm Springs, Okay, where you get on the

103
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 11: bottom of the desert floor, you go up to the mountains.

104
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 11: It takes about ten minutes to get there, right, and

105
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 11: then you're up there and it's like you're back in winter,

106
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 11: which when we discussed maybe doing this as a family,

107
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 11: I kind of thought to myself, well, we came to

108
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 11: Palm Springs to get away from winter, why do I

109
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 11: want to go up there?

110
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 12: But then I thought might be kind of fun.

111
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 11: Baby brother Peter, you know, he's a tough guy, he's

112
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 11: built different, but he was like, well, what if it

113
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 11: gets stuck or something. I'm going it's not going to

114
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 11: get stuck. I just saw a story today. The Palm

115
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 11: Springs aerial tram got stuck last night, like at ten

116
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 11: o'clock at night.

117
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 12: People didn't get back down to the bottom.

118
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 11: T like four in the morning, being out there for

119
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 11: six to eight hours sitting on that aerial tram as

120
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 11: it's just dangling going, you know, blowing in the breeze,

121
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 11: going back and forth. And you know, I'm not a

122
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 11: the afraid of heightsky, I'm not.

123
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 12: Real comfortable with it.

124
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 11: I Well, I tell you this, I've gotten better with

125
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 11: heights just because of our recent report cards who've been getting.

126
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 12: I'm getting very comfortable with it. Quite frankly, I thought

127
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 12: that was kind of funny.

128
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 11: They're look at what if we are our cameras running.

129
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 11: I'd like to have Tennebe's camera on right now so

130
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 11: you could see what's going on in Master Control as

131
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 11: we're frantically trying to find the Nico medved show, UH

132
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 11: Golfer Basketball Weekly at the Tipsy Steer with Grimmer and

133
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 11: and JG. So we're pretty here, We're almost there. So anyways,

134
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 11: I'm really not afraid of heights. I mean, I can

135
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 11: do like the Skyway at the Minnesota State Fair without

136
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 11: any trouble, I guess because I know.

137
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 12: I'm only going to be there for a few minutes.

138
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 11: I really like the one that's more like a ski lift,

139
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 11: the newer one that goes from just by the uh

140
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 11: just off of Carousel a park from where we broadcast from.

141
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 11: It goes out to the old machiner Reyhill. I don't

142
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 11: know if they call it machine Reyhill anymore.

143
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 12: I like that one.

144
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: I think we got them. Now let's go. Let's let's

145
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: go to the Tipsy Steer.

146
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 12: Why not, we'll pass down.

147
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 8: He's like, we got a time out. I'll just take

148
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 8: the time out. We'll catch our breath. Maybe you don't

149
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 8: want to burn a time out, but it's better than

150
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 8: turning it over in that spot.

151
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: It is.

152
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: It's funny that the day before we ended practice.

153
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: That's funny.

154
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: I kind of I told you guys, we're going to

155
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,160

00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: to be ahead here, and we got to, you know,

00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: so we spent some practice time, you know, going over

159
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: and sure as heck we're in that situation. I would

160
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: give us about a C plus.

161
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 10: Uh.

162
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: You know, I thought we showed some toughness, but there

163
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: were some some little things, you know, we needed to

164
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: execute a little bit better that way. But it's great

165
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: to be able to do that and still win the game.

166
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

167
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: And in the episode there were some great close game

168
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: on things to learn from as well.

169
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 8: How much practice time do you guys put in? Would

170
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 8: you say on those kinds of situations, because I suppose

171
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 8: there's so many factors, and you guys ran a couple

172
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 8: of different ones.

173
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: At one point you had all five guys out of bounds.

174
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 8: At another point, you had some guys in the offensive end,

175
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 8: some guys in the backcourt. I suppose it depends if

176
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 8: they're in a full court zone trap or man trap

177
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 8: or all that. So how much time and and c

178
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 8: plus So what's your Yeah, obviously you'd love to give

179
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 8: give a's So will there be more time on.

180
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: That or yeah, there'll be more time on that, And

181
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: you know some things, like you said, it depends on

182
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: the kind of pressure that they're they're applying.

183
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: It depends on the matchups.

184
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Is it just hey, get it in and they're going

185
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: to file right away, or you're looking at probably a

186
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: situation where you might get trapped a couple of times.

187
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: So I think there's all all.

188
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Of those things. But you got to give them a

189
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: couple of different looks. And again, there was just there

190
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: was one situation where we talked about it, but we

191
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't recognize you could run the baseline, you know,

192
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and we had guys wide open and

193
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: we didn't. We got kind of fortunate there. But you

194
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: know what, we did a decent job. But sometimes you

195
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: just have to go through those situations. But we do

196
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: spend a good bit of time on you know, get

197
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: it in. You know, our late game defense had been

198
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: pretty good in some of these other games. There were

199
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: a couple of situations where I thought that could be better. Again,

200
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: a lot of good, good teaching opportunities.

201
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 8: And in addition to that, and we joked a little

202
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 8: about it in our postgame interview right after the game.

203
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: Court side was a lot of folks worry.

204
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 8: And you know, look, there's times where free throws have

205
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 8: not been great, but you want to, you know, tip

206
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 8: your cap and take a bow when when you have

207
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 8: the way you guys shot down the streets.

208
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: Really funny how it works.

209
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: I never hear any of the gosh, man, they great,

210
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, well that really made their free throws, great

211
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: job or whatever. But the first time we miss a couple,

212
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: the first time we miss a couple of oh god,

213
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: so we're cursed here throws, you forget, like you know

214
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I, oh my god. Like it's

215
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: just a come on, you know, it's just you got

216
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: to get over this sometimes you do. I mean, it's crazy.

217
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: Like in games you see guys who are eighty five

218
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: percent free throw shooters miss a one on one in

219
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: a close game.

220
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 8: It it happens even Martin, like their guy Martin Ellen,

221
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 8: he scored the big ten, he missed the front end

222
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 8: them one on one.

223
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: A huge front end of a one and one. He's

224
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: one of the best players. So it happens. You know,

225
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: you got to get over it, Like you can't act

226
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: like it's some sort of lifelong curse against you as

227
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: a player a fan and buy into that. Heck, you

228
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: start buying into that as a player, it's like, man,

229
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: let's not even show up.

230
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, starting and it becomes a little self fulfilling. Are

231
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,479
Speaker 3: going to go your way all the time? I got news.

232
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: You got to respond.

233
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 8: So you guys do then practice free throws occasionally?

234
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: We might today.

235
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 8: That's always my favorite is don't they ever practice free throws? Nah,

236
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 8: we worry about that. So key stuff down the stretch.

237
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 8: You switched some defenses. You you played some man to

238
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 8: start and went to zone. Really in the middle stages

239
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 8: of that game, take me through what you were seeing

240
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 8: there and and what you what.

241
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: Led you to do what you did. I mean, they

242
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: run great stuff. They do a great job, you know,

243
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: getting Martinelli the ball, and I think just you know,

244
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: kind of trying to keep them off balanced a little

245
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: bit at times was successful. I mean, I think both

246
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: teams will look at it and say that, you know,

247
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: they didn't do the best job keeping the ball out

248
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: of the out of the lane. They're a difficult team.

249
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: To to cover that way. But yeah, we just thought

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: that keeping them off balanced a little bit, switching it

251
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: up sometimes come after time out, you know, want to

252
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: give him maybe a different look.

253
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 3: And that's really all there was to it.

254
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: And again sometimes you know, we ran a double team

255
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: a little bit late, you know, which we did, and

256
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: I thought that was effective a couple times to try

257
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: to get the ball out.

258
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: Of his hands.

259
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: And so it's not anything that's that's crazy, but I

260
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: think most you know, coaches will try to do that

261
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: to each other. And then sometimes you're just trying to

262
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: find a match up that that works. And you know,

263
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: in our particular case, you know, it was just the

264
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: middle ball screen in the middle of the floor and

265
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: you know number twenty two for them, you know, we

266
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: put him in a bunch of ball screen actions and

267
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: Langston was able to get in the paint and he

268
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: found you know, grace and what four times I think

269
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: on those actions and that seemed to be working well.

270
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: So working to do anything different.

271
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly offensively, and it was interesting. There was one

272
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 8: point in the game, well into the second half, where

273
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 8: both teams are shooting over fifty percent. But I still

274
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 8: got the sense that there was some pretty good defense

275
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 8: being played. There was just some real good shot making

276
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 8: in that game.

277
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really high level game, you know,

278
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: just watching it. On the on the side, I thought

279
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: both teams were actually playing pretty well. We're making plays,

280
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: making shots, not a lot of turnovers, not a lot

281
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: of sloppy play that way. So yeah, I thought it

282
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: was a high level game. And it's hard sometimes and

283
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: you're on it doesn't go your way, you know, right

284
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: away you nitpick at it. But I thought both coaches

285
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: when they watched the film, and I'm sure they're really

286
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: disappointed it didn't go their way. But I thought both teams,

287
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: like you said, made a lot of plays.

288
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's take our first break here. Stay

Speaker 1: going behind us.

Speaker 3: That's what that's what you live for.

409
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, and it can certainly have an impact on the

410

424
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 8: from the big win over Northwestern, that final score was

425
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 8: eighty four seventy eight.

426
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: We could go down the entire box score.

427
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 8: And maybe we should because so many good performances. When

428
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 8: you get a win like that, a quality win, it

429
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 8: requires a team effort.

430
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: That was one of your comments in the postgame radio show.

431
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 8: You said that the thing you're most proud of is

432
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 8: the togetherness and the team nature of it, the balanced

433
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 8: nature of everyone having a role.

434
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

435
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 8: You know.

436
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: The other thing that really stood out to me about

437
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: the box score, and it kind of hit me after

438
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: the game. I don't know that I've ever been a

439
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: part of the game to have three players playoff forty minutes, right,

440
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever seen that. I was

441
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: thinking about that the other day the night after the game, like,

442
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like three guys played the entire game,

443
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and I think we had what six guys play one

444
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six of the one hundred minutes. Kayshen

445
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: Knowles for what, got four minutes four minutes first half.

446
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: So boy, that's a lot of work for those guys,

447
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: you know, to have both those guards links in at

448
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: Isaac never came out, Kate never came out, So that's

449
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So that stood out to me, and then

450
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: we used that. Everybody produced right. Everybody came in and

451
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: made plays when they when they had to. You know,

452
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: on both ends of the floor. We really shared the

453
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: ball well. We rebounded well. We showed a lot of

454
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: toughness and togetherness and found a way to get a win.

455
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, rebounding thirty three to twenty. So when you control

456
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 8: the glass like that on the road, that's certainly a

457
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 8: key piece of it. Back to the third three guys

458
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 8: with forty minutes, how to the training staff, the medical folks,

459
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 8: how do you now try to make sure that these

460
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 8: guys because you want to practice, but do you want

461
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 8: to keep them off their legs a little bit too

462
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 8: between games?

463
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 3: What what's the is there a planned approach there with that?

464
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you just you know, you you monitor.

465
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: We still have to practice, We got to get ready

466
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: for the for the next one. We got to keep

467
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: getting better. But you know, I think the forty minute thing,

468
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: what's the big difference between playing thirty seven and forty minutes?

469
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: You know, there's a little bit, you.

470
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: Know, you kind of can, like you said, if you're

471
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: playing a humor, you maybe have a few opportunities in

472
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: the game to maybe get them a little bit of

473
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: extra rest before a media timeout or something like that.

474
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of it is just it's

475
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: the focus to that it takes to play at a

476
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: high level two uh, to not you know, silly fouls,

477
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: to be engaged on both ends of the floor. That's

478
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: that's it. You got to really train yourself to do that.

479
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: And so yeah, we're about but you know, yesterday we're

480
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, watch film. We got some walk through in

481
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: those guys do all their recovery stuff.

482
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: Today. We got to go practice today.

483
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's going to be shorter, sharper, you've got

484
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: less guys, but at the same point in time that

485
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's

486
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: going to be like that the rest of the season.

487
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 8: Crocker Johnson had picked up a foul early and you

488
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 8: you took him out right away.

489
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: Is that maybe part of a new you know.

490
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 8: If you get it, you know it used to you

491
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 8: know a lot of times, let's say you get two files,

492
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 8: you're coming out for a little bit. Now with seven guys,

493
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 8: it maybe you get one file based on positions and

494
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 8: all that.

495
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: We got to get him out for.

496
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 12: A few minutes.

497
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 10: Here.

498
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I you know, I got to keep

499
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: learning the guys. I mean, Croc plays really physical and

500
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of a bulldog, you know that way. So sometimes

501
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: I just kind of okay, let's just let him catch

502
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: his breath here for a second. Who doesn't pick up

503
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: another one quickly? And I think, you know, this is

504
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: where analytics sometimes can differentiate from from analytics. I call

505
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: him right, like the analytics might tell you a key

506
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: player if he has two fouls, you know you're better.

507
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: They say, hey, you still want to play. If he's

508
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: a key player, the cost of not playing him is

509
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: higher than the cost of playing him, you know, picking

510
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: up his third. And while that might be, I think

511
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of variables that go into it, you know,

512
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 1: where well, if he does pick up a certain now

513
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: we have to sit him. Now we don't even have

514
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: the choice, you know what I mean with it, So

515
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: you don't with the such a short bench, And so

516
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I think those are things we just have to continue

517
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: to figure out. And sometimes it might just be kind

518
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: of what's going on in the game and what your

519
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: gut's telling you.

520
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 8: Sure, and there's times too, right where in a game,

521
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 8: even Northwestern the other day in the first half, they

522
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 8: took Martinelli out and then for like in the first

523
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 8: half or a two or three minute rest, and they

524
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 8: ended up advancing the lead by a point or two.

525
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 8: And you're thinking, well, now that gives them a little boosh.

526
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 8: Where if ok, say Jalen Crocker Johnson has two foles,

527
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 8: you take him out sitting for three or four minutes.

528
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 8: If if on the flip side, you either tread water

529
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 8: and stay even or advance a lead that gives you

530
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 8: an even bigger booze.

531
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes well, the other night, you know, Farley Dickinson, cad

532
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: picks up his forth right. I wanted a nineteen to

533
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: one run. I told him, who needs you? Yeah, after

534
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: the game.

535
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: I'm not as important as you thought. Right, Yes, I'm joking,

536
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 3: but trust me.

537
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I mean again, that's why every game

538
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: is a little bit different. It's sometimes too, It's like

539
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: those guys that come in. You got to be able

540
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: to trust him for a stretch, to go down and

541
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: hold down the.

542
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 8: Flour and and the other thing you've talked about. You know,

543
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 8: sometimes you have to play smart. And Crocker Johnson had

544
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 8: the two files. I did notice one in particular that

545
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 8: shoot out to me, we commented on the radio. Or

546
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 8: he was positioned to maybe try to get over a

547
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 8: guy and get a rebound, and he started and then

548
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 8: he just like, I got to give that one up.

549
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 3: So they're learning a little bit help.

550
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: So you know, it's hard, like you're in the heat

551
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: of the game and you're just you're so programmed to

552
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: just play with this motor and chase every rebound and

553
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: go and you don't want to take that yeah, right, right,

554
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: So it's but it's yes, but it's it's the understanding

555
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: of that one. I just have to I just have

556
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: to let that go. I can't put that in the

557
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: officials hands.

558
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I mean and it's hard, right when you're

559
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 8: a competitor to just concede something when you're used to

560
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 8: working and whatever.

561
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: So it takes a discipline. I did think too. In

562
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: that game. You know, we started Langston on Martin. Elli

563
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: did a really good job early. You know, they made

564
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: a nice they really started to, you know, even be

565
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: more physical, pounding the ball inside, you know, midway through

566
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: the second half and you know Kroc was the best

567
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: matchup on him. But we didn't want to start that

568
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: way because of fouls too. But I thought he did

569
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: a tailor, did a really good job there in the

570
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: last six or seven minutes. And because he's still you

571
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: only had three fouls or whatever, he could, he could

572
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: play and I thought in some of the really key

573
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: possessions he did a really good job.

574
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, and Martinell had what seven at half, so pretty

575
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 8: good job by Reynolds too for that first part of

576
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 8: it as well. Kate Tyson had the big three pointers

577
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 8: the shot clock was winding down and then hit key

578
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 8: free throws late. Ends up being your leading score and

579
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 8: you need your leading scorer to be, uh, you know,

580
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 8: the lead dog sometimes on the road, and he was.

581
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: He was, and you know, I I played really really well.

582
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: You know he had he had missed a couple of threes,

583
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: and I thought there were a couple of situations in

584
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: the second half where he maybe had an open look

585
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: and he kind of turned it down to shot stop

586
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: and drive it, and he's he's quick. But I'm like, man,

587
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: you got to shoot that. I told him in the timeout.

588
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: I mean, man, if you're open and they close out short,

589
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: just let it fly. Like I'm like, I looked a him,

590
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: like you're one of the best shooters in the country.

591
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: When you're open, shoot the ball. You know, I said,

592
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: the next one's going in. I didn't know it would

593
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: be that one right at the end of the shot

594
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: clock whatever. But see I wasn't lying to you. Let

595
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: her flying, and it went in. And it's fun when

596
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: it works.

597
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, huge shot. Langston rentals thirteen assists a career. I

598
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 8: had a double double, thirteen points, thirteen assists. He seemed

599
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 8: to have the ball in his hands more than maybe

600
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 8: previous games.

601
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 3: Was that by design?

602
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of it's just depends on the flow of

603
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: the game and the matchups. I mean, he and Isaac

604
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: are going to do a lot of the you know,

605
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: primary ball handling. Uh, just felt like the matchup was

606
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: was good there and he was really doing a nice

607
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: job of getting in the lane. He was doing a

608
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: great job of making decisions when he went in there,

609
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: and you know, with those three other guys that can

610
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: really space the floor for us, that just in this

611
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: particular game, it was working for us.

612
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 8: And he had six rebounds, so he was flirting with

613
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 8: a triple double there, which was nice.

614
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 12: Yeah.

615
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: I thought the other guy it was just terrific, was Isaac.

616
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: I thought Isay played really well.

617
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: And what I love seeing from him is, you know,

618
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: he goes one to ten from three the other night,

619
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: and there was First of all, I love that he

620
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: kept shooting. Yep, we talked about that the other night

621
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: because he's really shooting it well in practice. And well,

622
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: I thought he made some huge shots, especially early that

623
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: just really kept us in it. He had nine rebounds,

624
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: did a great job rebounding the ball, and I just

625
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: thought he played with a lot of poise and patients

626
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: and again knocked down some huge shots for us.

627
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, four to seven from three and he matched a

628
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 8: career high eighteen on a lot of nights that would

629
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 8: be the headlining fact was that the sophomore got a

630
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 8: career high. But so many storylines it kind of gets

631
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 8: which is nice, right when you got a bunch of

632
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 8: storylines to talk about.

633
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 3: And we haven't even talked about.

634
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 8: Grace and Grove turning into Shaquille O'Neal, as you've said

635
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 8: in the post game show.

636
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it was one of those you know,

637
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: it was just one of those games too where he

638
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: did he really gave us a spark and playing hard.

639
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: He got a key offensive rebound two. I'm in that stretch,

640
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: but Yeah, just the in the in the pick and

641
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: roll and some of the stuff we were doing, and

642
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: I think maybe they were really concerned about our shooters,

643
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: and we were able to get behind the defense on

644
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: a couple of pick and rolls and a great burn

645
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: cut we call him like to the rim, and Langston

646
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: did a great job finding him and he knew what

647
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: to do with it. You know, he's got a great

648
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: good vertical pop that way, and he didn't mess around

649
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: and went up and was aggressive and attacked and I

650
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: thought that was awesome.

651
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, a couple two hand throwdowns, a one hand throwdown,

652
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 8: and I thought maybe his biggest play was the one

653
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 8: block shot you guys had all day.

654
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: It was the block? Was it Martin Elli?

655
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember who Yah was kind of a sort

656
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: of like almost and yeah, I drove it almost in

657
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: chance and he came out and just kind of got

658
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: his hand up there and just tipped it, knocked it

659
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: way out.

660
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 8: It was a big play, huge, and then you get

661
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 8: a stop and then come back and get points, which

662
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 8: which in a tight game obviously is important.

663
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 3: What was the is it kills? You guys call him

664
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: kills to get back to back stops? Three stops in

665
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 3: a row, three stops in a row? How many? How

666
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: many did you end up with?

667
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Gosh, I don't remember the total number. That's a good question.

668
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but this will be in the last

669
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Yeah, we did, like early in the game

670
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: and then late, you know, in the middle. Early we

671
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: did coming out of the gate, and then late you know,

672
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta win. You gotta make shots, but

673
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: it's got you gotta defend and you got to hold

674
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: the other team to one shot, you know, and we

675
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: were able to do that in critical situations.

676
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 8: All right, let's take another break. We'll come back. We

677
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 8: have the long contested two coming up. The pressures on

678
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 8: there for sure, and then we'll preview Iowa. New rankings

697
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 8: of Gopher fans in that building tomorrow night. All right,

698
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 8: Time for the long contested too. Last time I was

699
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 8: flying solo, we hit on Christmas stuff. So now I'm

700
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 8: going to ask you about New Year's resolutions.

701
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: Do you have annual New Year's resolutions? Or have you

702
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: allowed those to pass by and nothing of the sort?

703
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I used to, but I've kind of

704
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: got into the point where like, why are you waiting

705
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: for New Year's right if there's something that you really

706
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: want to do or you want to accomplish, and you know,

707
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: I think that's what you that's what you go for,

708
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I asked the team the other day,

709
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: I think a really good exercise. I said, Hey, this

710
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: is a rhetorical question, but if you were looking at

711
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: your last year twelve months ago, what advice would you

712
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: give yourself to months later? You know what advice if

713
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: you could go back twelve months, what advice would you

714
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: give yourself knowing what you know now a year later?

715
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of cool.

716
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: And you know, I told them, like, for me, it's

717
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: just you know, being where your feet are right like

718
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: living in the moment and just enjoying the moment a

719
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: little bit more. And that sounds so simple, But when

720
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: you've got so much going on and I think about

721
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: my life the last twelve months, Holy Kyle, you know

722
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: what I mean, just all of it, and sometimes, like

723
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: you do it, sometimes it just it goes so fast.

724
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: You just don't take enough time to just kind of

725
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: slow down and be where your feet are and enjoy

726
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: it and all these things. And that just comes down to,

727
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: like today, it's you're thinking about recruiting, You're thinking about

728
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: what's next, You're thinking about all this stuff that's going on.

729
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: But hey, let's just let's just enjoy practice today. Let's

730
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: enjoy being around each other, all those things. You go home,

731
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: can you be present with your with your family and

732
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: all those things? And that sounds so simple, But honestly,

733
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: that's more of the resolution stuff.

734
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: I mean. Other than that, it's just keep doing what

735
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: you're doing.

736
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: But I did ask the guys that you know that

737
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: they could give advice to themselves twelve months ago. And

738
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: the other thing I told them is said, typically, if

739
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: you think about it, what advice you would have given

740
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: yourself twelve months ago? It's probably the same dang advice

741
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: you should give yourself today today, right, you know, it

742
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: probably is the same thing twelve months ago that you

743
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: should be telling yourself today.

744
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

745
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 8: Not that New Year's resolutions are superstitious by any means.

746
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 8: But do you have, over the course of your career

747
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 8: now gotten to be any anything along superstition, whether it's

748
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:33,479
Speaker 8: pregame meal, pregame routine, you know, staying at the same

749
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 8: hotel if you win.

750
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: I think everybody is lying if they don't say that

751
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: they don't have some superstition. I wouldn't say I'm a

752
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: superstitious person, but we all have routines you know that work.

753
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: And I can say this now don't grow up. But

754
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: I did at the end to last season. I don't know,

755
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: somewhere about February when we were winning in the mount

756
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: West Tournament, I wore the same socks and drawers for

757
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: every game.

758
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 3: Now I washed them. You know they were laundered. Okay,

759
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: they were laundered.

760
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: Now, they were not always laundered in the Mountain West tournament. Right,

761
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: you're playing the next day or whatever. But but you're

762
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: doing like little stuff like that, Like man, you know,

763
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: don't change it, you know if it were, but no,

764
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got little routines that you do, like

765
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: a routine on game day. I can't stay like we

766
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: once we finished shoot around, I go home, Like I

767
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: can't sit up here and think about all stuff.

768
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: I want to go home.

769
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: I want to spend a little time the family. I

770
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: usually put my head down for about fifteen minutes done,

771
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: fall asleep.

772
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: I think that really helps me call my mind.

773
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I love that drive back in to

774
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: be honest, back into to the game. It kind of

775
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: you reset yourself or whatever. You might have a playlist

776
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: that you really like that you go to. So I

777
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's things like that. But nothing

778
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: nothing crazy.

779
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, i'd noticed, And maybe it's not been every game,

780
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 8: but during the pregame you also will come out and

781
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 8: sit on the seats right behind the bench for just

782
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 8: a few minutes.

783
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: It looks like, yeah, you know, it's different here. We

784
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: had a little bit different routine at my last job,

785
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: or stuff I would do if I don't have anything

786
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: to do pregame after that, sometimes there's some donor stuff

787
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: to do or or whatever. But I love that time,

788
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: just being able to go out, sit out, just kind

789
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: of get a feel for the arena and the vibe.

790
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 3: Well, what's another little one.

791
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: I always they have to have my green and red

792
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: dry erase markers, So when I'm writing on the board,

793
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: everything defense has to be in red and everything offense

794
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: has to be in green.

795
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I guess, silly.

796
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would freak out if I went in

797
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: there and it was I only had a blue and

798
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: black marker. I would I'd be like, I'd be mad

799
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: at the managers or whatever, what are you doing? I

800
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: need my green And even though it makes no bit

801
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: of difference whatsoever you tell yourself, it does.

802
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 3: But routine does matter, right, I mean it does. I

803
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: think it does.

804
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: I think it's important. I tell players that way too.

805
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: I said, you got to find a routine that you have,

806
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, in your life obviously and game days and practice,

807
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: and you got to find one. And maybe it's helping

808
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: rely on an older person or older players somebody to

809
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: maybe help you form it. But then ultimately it's got

810
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: to become your own. You know, everybody's a little bit

811
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: different and you got to give them autonomy to do that.

812
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: But I agree with that. I think it's important to

813
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: have one.

814
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 8: Do you have you in your time if you go

815
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 8: get a nice road win the next year.

816
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 3: Because I remember Bruce Weber when.

817
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 8: He was coaching Illinois, was joking with me one time

818
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 8: about this that when he was Geen Katie's assistant at Purdue,

819
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 8: if they you know, back then, like college campuses haven't

820
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 8: exploded back then like they have now, where there's hotels

821
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 8: on every corner, it seems. But he's like, you know,

822
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 8: you go play if you're at Purdue and you go

823
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 8: play Illinois, there's three hotels and two aren't very nice

824
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 8: back then, and he's like, so you if you'd lose,

825
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 8: Geen Katie'd say, we're not staying in that blanket place again,

826
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 8: so if they won, they would have to stay. And

827
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 8: he's like, you know, three four years in a row,

828
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 8: we're staying in this real clunker of a hotel. We've

829
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 8: done that at Penn State. Penn State has a there's

830
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 8: a particular hotel. I don't think a lot of people

831
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 8: would want to stay at it. No, and Penn State knows,

832
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 8: they know. There was a swim meet one year where

833
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 8: there was no room so we had to stay in

834
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 8: the clunker and Gophers one So next year we're back.

835
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: At the clunker.

836
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: Hey, whatever works, man, I'll stay. If you think at

837
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: effects winning, that's where we're staying.

838
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

839
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: But I mean there's maybe been a couple of times

840
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: down the road where we've lost, like several years in

841
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: a row, and they're like, let's find something different, just

842
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: change the vibe.

843
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right.

844
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,000

902
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 8: playing pretty good basketball. Should be a pretty good contest

903
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 8: tomorrow night at the Barn.

904
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.

905
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: I was really playing at a at a high level.

906
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a really tough game here tomorrow night.

907
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 3: Well, they all are.

908
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: You know, you look at them on film, and obviously

909
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with with coach McCollum. They First of all,

910
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys who played together last year,

911
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: so they've got really good chemistry. It's a really connected

912
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: group on both ends. They played a lot of high

913
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: level games together. They know on both ends of the floor,

914
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: how they play, how they win, how they're successful. They've

915
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: obviously got one of the best players in the in

916
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: the conference at Bennett Sturtz, who's just a handful you know,

917
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: on the on the pick and roll and even in

918
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: one on one ISO situations. They're tough minded, play a

919
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: slower tempo, you know that then a lot of teams,

920
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: but yeah, they really have a grinded out, you know

921
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: kind of mentality. And so, yeah, we've got our hands

922
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: full tomorrow. But what a great opportunity for us too,

923
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, to come out there and hopefully we get

924
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: our home crowd behind us a little bit and we

925
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: can get the crowd into the game and let's see

926
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: what happens.

927
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, it would be a second win over ranked team

928
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 8: on your home floor. Obviously last month you got to

929
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 8: win over Indiana. You mentioned that that group of players

930
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 8: has played together last year and at Drake, but remember

931
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 8: they some of that group played together at Northwest Missouri

932
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 8: State even the year or two before that. You think

933
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 8: about Bennett Sturtz, he was you know, there's three or

934
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 8: four guys that were divisioned two players three years ago,

935
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 8: and think about how they've elevated their game. But that,

936
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 8: I do think tells you the story of if you're old,

937
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 8: you're experienced, and you've played together, you can be a

938
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 8: pretty good Big ten basketball.

939
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

940
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean they got really good chemistry you know that way,

941
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: and especially the guys that were there last year you

942
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: know at Drake that in particular play that went to

943
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: the tournament. You know, so again they've played in high

944
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: level games, had a target on their back, know what.

945
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: That's like.

946
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: The ful Garris kid, the big kid they added from

947
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: Robert Morris is you know, is a really tricky cover.

948
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: He's playing a lot better here as of late. He's

949
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: a big kid who can really shoot the three, you know,

950
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: so he can pick and roll, pick and pop. Just

951
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: puts in some really tough situations that way. So yeah,

952
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of tricks necessarily, but it's difficult

953
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: to stop.

954
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 3: With with that group too. You mentioned it's a little

955
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 3: slower pace.

956
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 8: What do they want to do then defensively to try

957
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 8: to slow you guys down as well?

958
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna play Manda man. They do a great job. Again,

959
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: I think they're they're tough minded, They're a crowd, they

960
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: crowd the floor, they force a lot of turnovers, and

961
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: a lot of it is just you know, really making

962
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: a mess of of the lane. You know, their hands

963
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: are active, they knock the ball loose. They do a

964
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: great job helping each other. Again, I just when I

965
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: look with the first thing that pops to mind is

966
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: this is a connected team. You know, both ends of

967
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: the four, all five guys on both ends are really

968
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: working together really well.

969
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 8: We talked about this when Indiana came to town. Of course,

970
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 8: Darren Devrees took over for you at Drake, and now

971
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 8: Ben McCollum took over for for a Devirees at Drake.

972
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 8: So the last three eight coaches all coaching in the

973
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 8: Big Ten. Now, so you got a little in conference

974
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 8: fraternity of coaches here. How familiar are you with Ben

975
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 8: Ben McCollum, their new head coach. I know him a

976
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 8: little bit.

977
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: Uh, some guys in our staff maybe even know him

978
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: a little bit better than I do. But obviously you

979
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: know you followed his success. He's one of those guys

980
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: that you know when you watch his teams, even at

981
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: Northwest Missouri and then Drake and then here you can

982
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: pop on the film and even and and and they

983
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: look the same. And I mean that as a compliment,

984
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 1: meaning that they really know how they want to play.

985
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 3: They've got a really good system.

986
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: They play hard, they play connected, guys know their roles,

987
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: and he's really had some terrific players and really some

988
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: terrific guards you know that have really really kind of

989
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: been the straw that stirs the drink. And yeah, Bennis Starts,

990
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: he's like they even say this as a compliment.

991
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he can be like a robot, I mean,

992
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: running their stuff.

993
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, whatever the read is, he makes it,

994
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, and you try to change your coverages a

995
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: little bit on him. He's seen every coverage. They know

996
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: where everybody else is. So they're really good at what

997
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: they do, isn't it too?

998
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 8: I mean, you think about the climb where some of

999
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 8: these guys, including Starts, were not ranked or were not

1000
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 8: recruited by Division one teams.

1001
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 3: They started their careers division.

1002
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 8: Two, which kind of tells you you wonder how many

1003
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 8: you know, how many guys out there sometimes do get

1004
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 8: overlooked and don't get this chance, but they're getting their

1005
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 8: chance and making the most of it.

1006
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of stuff that goes and

1007
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: that you're right, number one, it's evaluating those kinds of guys.

1008
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: But a lot of times it's the younger guys getting

1009
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity early in their career.

1010
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: Right you know.

1011
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 1: And if there's an opportunity to play right away, early

1012
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: in your career and you get better, that's how you grow.

1013
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's guys that maybe have ability, but they just

1014
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: don't ever see the floor. I don't see the floor

1015
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. They're kind of in and out. Well,

1016
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: that can be hard to develop. And you got fans

1017
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: gotta be careful not to pay too much attention to

1018
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: recruiting rankings. I mean, it's easy to do that. You know,

1019
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: the top thirty forty players in the country. Everybody knows that.

1020
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, I've been doing this a long time,

1021
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: and this three four star old stuff. You'd be surprised

1022
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: just what a load of crap that is, to be honest, you.

1023
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 3: Know what I mean. I sometimes that happens.

1024
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: A guy gets a label early on that he's this player,

1025
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: and you know everyone's and it's just, you know, guys grow,

1026
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: guys develop. So much of it is fit an opportunity,

1027
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: and those young guys get an opportunity in the right

1028
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: place and they really just start to grow and flourish.

1029
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: Then they get older, they get more confident, they get

1030
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: more comfortable, and here you go.

1031
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, and when you think about it, I don't know

1032
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 8: how many high school basketball players there are, you know,

1033
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 8: one hundred thousand or more. I suppose what's really the

1034
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 8: exponential difference between number three hundred and number eight hundred

1035
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 8: much probably, I.

1036
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: Mean, that's a great point. And again it's funny. I

1037
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: tell it to have to go back and look at,

1038
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, the top one hundred or one fifty recruiting

1039
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: rankings over the last ten years, and then look at

1040
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: who are the guys who have really turned out and

1041
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: who aren't he be surprised that this guy was ranked

1042
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: whatever fifties. I've never heard of this guy, you know

1043
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: what I mean? This guy was an All league player

1044
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: here or whatever. And so again, there's so much more

1045
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: to it, you know, than that.

1046
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 8: You have any memories of your time here with the

1047
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 8: Hawkeyes and the golfers.

1048
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I do remember, you know, when when doctor

1049
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: Tom was there, who I got to meet when I

1050
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: went Drake, I played golf. Doctor Tom can really play golf. Yeaeah,

1051
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: he's a good player.

1052
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 3: Really. I think his house was on the golf course

1053
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 3: at at Iowa.

1054
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then then they pressed right, you know, and

1055
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: I remember they present that full court press after makes

1056
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 1: and you know, they did a great job of kind

1057
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: of cheating. They would step over the baseline, you know,

1058
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: when they were pressuring the ball on the press. And

1059
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: I do remember coach Haskins once and I probably can't

1060
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: even repeat how he said it, but told the guys

1061
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: man that guys step over the line, you know, you

1062
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: take that ball and you you know, you know what

1063
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I have a message or whatever. And I

1064
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: think there and I think there is a game where

1065
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: Willie Burton took him to heart. There were a few

1066
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: of those over there.

1067
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1068
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't mean it literally, you know what I mean.

1069
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 3: So but uh but no, I I do remember that.

1070
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: You know, Carver Hawk Eyes is a tough place to play,

1071
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: and and and all these these places are in the

1072
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: in the big ten. But obviously it's a big rivalry.

1073
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: It's one that the fans really care about it. We

1074
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: really care about it here and here's our crack at

1075
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: it tomorrow.

1076
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, and not to you know, labor the point, but huge,

1077
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 8: this is part of what you're talking about and building

1078
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 8: the home court edge, which we know when it's rolling,

1079
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 8: this can be great. We've heard people say it, and

1080
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 8: you know, this can kind of be the start of

1081
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 8: it all of a sudden. You know, let's get another win.

1082
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 8: Let's get another win and tomorrow, let's get some people

1083
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 8: in there.

1084
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know and cliche one game at a time,

1085
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: and it really is. But yeah, what a great opportunity tomorrow.

1086
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: You know what more can you can?

1087
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 8: You want?

1088
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 12: You've got?
