1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station.

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 2: All right, this is ESPN fifteen thirty one Legger. We

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: are broadcasting Club and Final Four Radio row.

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 3: It's the ESPN fifteen thirty turns that associates Final Four show,

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: presented by duimatt dot com live from the Airport Paint

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: and Body broadcast area here in Indianapolis. We are broadcasting

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: here today and tomorrow. If it's the Final Four, if

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 3: it's a college basketball that means our guy, Paul Frishmeran

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Now Paul is mister college Basketball. We gave him that

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: nickname last year. He has taken it and run with it.

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: He is the host of the Rebound Rundown. I did

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: watch him just struggle to put his headphones on. So

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: I'm questioning the broadcasting acumen.

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: But do what you gotta do. It's awesome to have you.

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: I appreciate you having me on though. This is fantastic.

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 4: It's a nice little setup we got here in Indianapolis.

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: This is good. Let's say you. It's amaze of a

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: place to find it though.

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: So I came in the back entrance, okay, and I

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: walked like through the lobby of the Coaches Convention it

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: looks like a gym teacher's convention with all the sweatsuits.

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: It does right.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: Ever, the logos are everywhere, all the logos, and I'm

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: trying to find like coaches I recognize and not so much.

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 3: But yet it's a big building. This is really cool.

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: This is an awesome city to host an event like this.

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: And I got to think you're like in heaven. Man.

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: Oh I absolutely a element. I absolutely am. This is great.

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: This is the best weekend. I've actually never been to

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: the Final four. Okay, so being here, being around, being

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 4: here at the convention Center, being around Indianapolis, just walking

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 4: around seeing people you know you meet through the season

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 4: and being able to catch up with them. I was

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 4: just sitting over at a at a bar eating lunch

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: with you know. I look over to the left and

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: it's the staff of the first game I called from

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: opening day. It's Hive Point staff sitting there to my left.

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 4: We're catching up on the season. They beat Wisconsin, right

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: asking them how that game was. It's it's those things

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: that being here at an event.

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: Like this, Elijah to yeah, to catch up with Yeah, No,

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: this is really cool. It's it's awesome to have you

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: there's we'll talk about the fun all for itself. First

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: of all, you, I'm gonna begin with you, because watching

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: your star takeoff has been something and I was listening

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: to you I think I think it was with Mike Betralia. Yeah,

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: and you were talking about the Miami RedHawks. Yeah, mainly

48
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: and understandably so because of the season they've had. And

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: I'm thinking to myself, like, I kind of remember when

50
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: Paul got started with this and watching it grow and

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: this will continue has been has been awesome. You're like

52
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: the area's college basketball voice.

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that moment.

54
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 4: It's been fun over the last couple of years, right,

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: obviously going to Xavier. I know that the vast majority

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: of the listener base that's listening to this are probably

57
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: Cincinnati fans, but being able to branch out and build

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: relationships at Cincinnati as well and other schools Daton, getting

59
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: to know that staff at Northern Kentucky and Darren Horne

60
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 4: and so many premiere programs around Cincinnati. I mean, that's

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: what's been really fun to me is that living in

62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is the best place to live, in my opinion,

63
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: in the country if you're a college basketball fan. Because

64
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: you have every conference, you have every coach, you have

65
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: every program that you want at a high major level

66
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: within two hours of Cincinnati, and you have two absolutely

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: premiere programs within the city.

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: So it's fantastic.

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: I thought about that and just thinking about you because

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: I used to work with Greg Doyle ya and Greg

71
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: for years was the college basketball guy for CBS, not

72
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: from Cincinnati, but he lived in Cincinnati, and I remember

73
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 3: asking him.

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: Like, well, why did you end up here?

75
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: And he goes, I cover college basketball, Like I'm four

76
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: hours away from do you know how many programs? And

77
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: he goes, it would make total sense. And then Mike

78
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: de COURSI, Mike, I think moved Indian. Now he's back

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and he worked for The Inquirer for a while,

80
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: but when he was done covering UC mainly for the Inquiry,

81
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: he continued covering college basketball for the Sporting News.

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: From Cincinnati for the same reason.

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: So it would be smart to follow that blueprint and

84
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: start a college basketball project in Cincinnati.

85
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And there's so many good coaches around here too,

86
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: so many people that in today's day and age were

87
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: college basketball. You know, it sounds kind of melodramatic, right,

88
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: But it's kind of having a moment right now that

89
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: I think it's really surging back in popularity because you

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: have the star power, You have so many players and

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: teams from across the sport that are really captivating the country.

92
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: But you also have some intriguing programs now where you

93
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: have Richard Patino at Xavier, obviously the lineage of Rick Patino,

94
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: but somebody trying to get back to the high major

95
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: level and have a story there. You have Jared Calhoun

96
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: with all the Cincinnati blood that he has, taking over

97
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: a program that you're trying to get back to the

98
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: national prominence in Cincinnati where it always was and where

99
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: it belongs to be. So just here in Cincinnati it's

100
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: fun to cover. And then you stretch out to Mark

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: Pope and Pat Kelsey has so many Cincinnati connections, and

102
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: up at Dayton with Anthony Grant, who's a lifer there.

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just been There are so many stories

104
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 4: that I hope very soon, I hope you and I

105
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: are sitting at the Final Four next year in Detroit

106
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: and we're sitting there talking about premier teams from this

107
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 4: area that maybe they're not at the Final Four, but

108
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 4: they're back making noise in the NCUBLE Tournament.

109
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: The idea is, and I said this when Richard Patino

110
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: got hired at Xavier, and I said this last week

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: with Jared Calhoun. The idea is for these programs, for

112
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: us to be talking about them having a.

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: Chance, yes to get here.

114
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 3: And I like, I get how college basketball works, but

115
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: you touched on something that I have beaten and maybe

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: to the point of annoyance with my audience on a

117
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: daily basis, I hear how college basketball is broken.

118
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm watching.

119
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: I don't even know what I'm watching, but last night

120
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 3: I saw an ad for Sunday Night on CNN and

121
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: symposium about fixing college basketball, and I go, it's not

122
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: without its issues, but fans seem to like it because

123
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: the tournament ratings are absurd. Regular season ratings were through

124
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: the roof Selection Sunday Selection show on CBS highest rating

125
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: in fourteen years last year's Final Four. Gambling has a

126
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 3: lot to do with this, I'm sure, But I hear

127
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: from within this sport about all of the issues that

128
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: it faces. But fans seem to like this version of

129
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: college basketball, and you and I are among them.

130
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And I think the one road that I'm

131
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: kind of interested to see here in the next couple

132
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: of seasons that it feels like college basketball is going

133
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 4: down right now. And you're a huge NBA guy, I

134
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: know that it feels like right now with the portal

135
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: and the coaching carousel and everything else, there is a

136
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: vibe of NBA free agency that's taking over a lot

137
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: of fans where it's almost more exciting to find out

138
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: what your team is going.

139
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: To be transactions.

140
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: The transactions are becoming just as enticing and engaging as

141
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: the season is, which is great because college basketball is

142
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: not all that long of a season. You have almost

143
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: twice as long as an offseason as you do the

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 4: actual season of college basketball for most teams. Right if

145
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: you play an extended postseason run, obviously that stretches here

146
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: into April. But look, I mean, you're about to have

147
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: a month straight of news about your team that In

148
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: the old days, you might listen to a high school

149
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: recruitment for two years and then at the end of it, mo, well,

150
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: that guy decided to go to some other school and

151
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: you just punt on the last two years of following

152
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: that recruitment. Now you can do it in three weeks

153
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: and it's more engaging for the fans.

154
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned NBA, and I do like the NBA.

155
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: I like the sport of basketball. But the NBA is

156
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: a tanking problem. Yeah that I don't know that it's

157
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: ever going to fix. In college basketball, everybody's trying to win.

158
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: Some have more resources to try. That's undeniable. Some are

159
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: better at it than others, that's undeniable. But like the

160
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: NBA product, people talk about the length of the season

161
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: being too long. There's no issue with that in college basketball.

162
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: I do think the season starts a tag too early,

163
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: but that's a nitpick. They've got a tanking issue. They have,

164
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: to a degree an issue with just teams that just

165
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: never feel like they're really that competitive. You have teams

166
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: that are sort of stuck in the middle. College basketball

167
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: you can catch lightning in a bottle. And the on

168
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: court product, I'm not saying it's not without its issues.

169
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that there aren't some things that need

170
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: to get regulated. The encore product is awesome.

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: It is, and you look at all the freshmen that

172
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 4: have taken over the sport this year. This has been

173
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: one of the best freshman classes in recent memory. That

174
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: games are so athletic, they're high scoring. Yeah, I understand

175
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: for fans, it is frustrating, and I get it to

176
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: where you used to be able to follow the development

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 4: of a player for four years and you felt like

178
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: by the time they had their senior night, they were

179
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: an extended part of your family that maybe you didn't know,

180
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: but that you felt like you knew them tangentially through

181
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: the four years that you followed them. And a player

182
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: that didn't play a whole lot as a freshman is

183
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: now a starter and an All conference player as a senior,

184
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: And that was very fun and tangible as a fan.

185
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: But at the same point, if you do put in

186
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 4: the effort as a fan to following a lot of

187
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: this in just one year, the actual, to me, the

188
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: actual on court product right now of college basketball has

189
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: never been hired.

190
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't think there's any way to

191
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: argue that.

192
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have experienced players playing. You did speak to

193
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: my only gripe because I'm a UC guy. Kenyon Martin

194
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: is a revered player. Everybody remember his senior season.

195
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: Sure, it was awesome.

196
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: I remember him as a freshman and on the rare

197
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: chances he would get to play.

198
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: You're like, this dude can't play. Yeah, you can't put

199
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: him in a game.

200
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 3: And then by his sophomore year, he was a guy

201
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: who could change the game on the defensive end, but

202
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: you never really threw it to him.

203
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: And then his junior year it was like.

204
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: All right, there's something here offensively on top of his

205
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: dominance on the defensive end. And then his last year

206
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: he's the number one pick in the NBA draft. That's

207
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: an extreme example. That is the only thing I really

208
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: miss Gary Clark over four years watching players at Xavier developed,

209
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: watching Trayvon Blewett, we.

210
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: Think about it like a James Farr who barely played

211
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: his freshman year and then became one of the best

212
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: rebounders in the country his senior year.

213
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: That's an example. I always go back to, let's.

214
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: Roll through some of the area teams you cover Xavier closely.

215
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: I thought Richard Patino got as much out of that

216
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: team as you could ask.

217
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely, there's no doubt about that.

218
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 4: What now, I think Xavier is going to have a

219
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: substantially increased nil base going into next season. What that

220
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: number ends up actually being will see, but I do

221
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: think that he will have plenty of money to work with,

222
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: which will be good for him because really, when I

223
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: would talk to Richard this year, that was always really

224
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 4: only his only complaint about things this year was that

225
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: he just didn't feel like he was resourced well enough

226
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: to win this past season. I don't think there's any

227
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 4: arguing that they finished tied for last in the Big East. Yes,

228
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: they had an All Big East player in Trey Carroll,

229
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 4: but they didn't have enough complimenting him. You would have

230
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: liked Trey Carroll to been, you know, a guy that

231
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: had the stars around him.

232
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: They didn't have that.

233
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: He had to be the guy that collected all the

234
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: stats that he got this year. So I would expect

235
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: Xavier to be much improved next year, just from a

236
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: baseline talent perspective. How it all fits together, you know,

237
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 4: we'll we'll see that opening night, but I do expect

238
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: Zabra to have a pretty successful portal.

239
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: For a few years.

240
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: You've heard people talk about the NIL situation at Xavier,

241
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 3: and so I'm not saying it's not real, but I

242
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: think if you asked every coach in this building, would

243
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: you like more NIL money, They're all gonna say yes.

244
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: I've heard mc Cronin say I need five million dollars more.

245
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: Kelvin Samson famously so a few weeks ago is like, well,

246
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: you know, we're one of the poorest teams in the

247
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: Big twelve. So how much should I take with a

248
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: grain of salt when any head coach talks about, well

249
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: we need more NIL, because none of them are going

250
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: to say, actually, we're good, We'll give some to other sports,

251
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: we'll give some to other programs. So what should I

252
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: do when I hear a coach say or NIL has

253
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: to be better?

254
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: Well, some of it's transparent in the fact that you

255
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: can look pretty clearly at a team like what Xavier

256
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: put together this year, and I thought, to your point

257
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: of what you asked me, originally, Xavier put together about

258
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: as good as they could have done with the resources

259
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: that they had this past offseason. Now, I think what

260
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: they've done is they've gone back to the drawing board

261
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: and realized, Hey, if we were going to set Richard

262
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: Patino and the Xavier team up to be successful going forward,

263
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: we have to give them the opportunity to succeed. To

264
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 4: your other point, though, there are a lot of coaches

265
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: at the high major level and they just get to

266
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: a point where they say, well, an any more money

267
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 4: is good money. What I'm interested in though, in this

268
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: offseason is you have the Kentucky situation where they flaunted

269
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: a twenty two million dollar number, and whether that's true

270
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: or not, it's true in the court of public opinion,

271
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: and that's what matters is because that's what people judge

272
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: you against is a roster that was built at twenty

273
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: two million dollars and they didn't get out of the

274
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: first weekend with that budget, at least publicly the highest

275
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: in the sport you're expected to be competing at Kentucky

276
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: for a national championship.

277
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: I understand they didn't have Jalen Lowe.

278
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: I understand they didn't have Jaden Quaintan's there was injury

279
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 4: problems there. But I do think when you get to

280
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: a point on the court with coaches that have done

281
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: it before, it becomes transparent and Okay, yeah, maybe another

282
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 4: million dollars could have added a role player, but you

283
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: also have to look at injuries things like that, and

284
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: I think Xavier will get back to the point where

285
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: they are well resourced enough to be competitive in the

286
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 4: Big East.

287
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: And Jared Calhoun, it's been something to behold watching the

288
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: entire Bearcat basketball community rally around him, which wasn't necessarily

289
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: the case with Wes and wasn't necessarily the case with

290
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 3: John and maybe there were good reasons, but with this,

291
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: everybody's on board and I'm curious as to what impact

292
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: that's going to have on year one.

293
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: It was really fun being at Jared Calhoun's introductory press

294
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: conference and hearing I think you were sitting behind me,

295
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: and there was somebody I don't know who it was

296
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: that was sitting in that front row that was very

297
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: vocally ambitious during that press conference. It's so excited about

298
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 4: what Jared Calhoun's going to bring to this team. And

299
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: it was funny because I was sitting there the whole

300
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 4: time thinking to myself, Yeah, you haven't seen or felt

301
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: this energy from the UC fan base in a while,

302
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: because even towards the end of the mccronan days, it

303
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: just felt like things were running stale. Well he's not

304
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 4: a bad coach, but it just felt like things were

305
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 4: running stale. And now you get to a point where

306
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 4: you have Jared Calhoun, who has all the Cincinnati lineage,

307
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: he has the connection to hugs, he has all He's

308
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: checked all of the boxes that you want to check.

309
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: He's developed players, he's won at every level he's been at,

310
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: especially Utah State, who has turned out these one or

311
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: two year coaches at a high level over the last

312
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: half decade.

313
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I think this is a great move for Cincinnati.

314
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: You covered the Miami story, and that's truly what it was.

315
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: It was.

316
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 3: It was a great story, and I thought there were

317
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: times we got too bogged down in the preemptive anger

318
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: of what would happen if they lost a game in

319
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: the mac Tournament, which ended up happening and they still

320
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: made it, and that night in Dayton was terrific that

321
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: they advanced and then ultimately went on to play Tennessee.

322
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: But what I loved about it was.

323
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: Long dormant program, revived, campus community, rejuvenated Travis Steele going

324
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: from you know, a guy who was sort of discarded

325
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: by Xavier for for good reason, you know, entering the

326
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: national consciousness and making the most of a second crack

327
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: at it.

328
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: It was.

329
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: It was an awesome story.

330
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: I think though as the season went on, a lot

331
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: of us said, all right, well, Travis Steel is going

332
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: to get a shot to go somewhere else. As you

333
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: and I sit here today. He is still in Oxford.

334
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: Did he pick a bad time to have a good season?

335
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: I don't think he maybe locally right, we know how

336
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: entrenched Travis Steele and his family, Amanda, his wife, very

337
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 4: entrenched in Cincinnati. I don't see them if they do move,

338
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: moving very far away from Cincinnati. I wouldn't be shocked though,

339
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: if Travis at some point, I don't know if he's

340
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: itching to get back to the high major level, but

341
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be shocked. As a competitor. As a coach,

342
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: it's good to win, and it's great to win in

343
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: the MAC and to be undefeated and to go to

344
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: the NCAA Tournament, to turn the MAC into a two

345
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: bid league this year, which it hasn't been since nineteen

346
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: ninety nine. As a coach, you're extremely competitive and you

347
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: want to get back to the high major level. I

348
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: do wonder if it's some point he would scratch that itch.

349
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 4: I also wonder if maybe Anthony Grant steps down, retires

350
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: in the next year, two years, at some point like that,

351
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: does he go right up the road because he's still

352
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: living in Cincinnati Travis's does he go right up the

353
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: road to Dayton, where it's the same commute as he's

354
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: commuting Docksbord right now, different roads, same time. Does he

355
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: just go right up the road to Dayton to where

356
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: it's a step up to the A ten. You have

357
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: some resources there, You certainly have the fan base not

358
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: to say anything against Miami.

359
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: They're building them a new area.

360
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't I wouldn't fault him at all

361
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 4: for staying at Miami for.

362
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: The long haul for a while at least. But also

363
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: there's there's always a competitor.

364
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: Charles coaches, especially guys that have been at the High

365
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: Mage And look at John Gross, who I'm sure would

366
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: have loved to have gotten to a Butler or one

367
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: of those. And I know he's at Charleston now, but

368
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: somebody that had been at Illinois went to Akron three

369
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: straight MAC titles. Now he's at Charleston. Do you ever

370
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: want to get back?

371
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned Anthony Grant.

372
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 3: It's weird because such a classy man, such an integral

373
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: part of the University of Dayton community. But the program

374
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: feels a little stuck, you know.

375
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: It does.

376
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of folks, myself included, who are

377
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: loath to admit that there's the what if of twenty twenty.

378
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: They did win a tournament game two years ago, and

379
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: yet I have felt like in the year subsequent to

380
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, all of the teams look and feel the same.

381
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: I saw a great tweet, and I wish I knew

382
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 4: who tweeted it. But it's essentially the idea that Dayton

383
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: has had the same season five in the last eight years,

384
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: where you have a pretty good non conference and to

385
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: their credit, right, they beat Georgetown, they beat Marquette, they

386
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 4: beat Florida State this offseason or this non conference season,

387
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 4: and going into the year, the way you build your schedule,

388
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: if you're Dayton, you think to yourself, that's a pretty

389
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 4: good non conference schedule. It's not their fault that Georgetown

390
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 4: and Marquette Florida State picked it up at the end

391
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: of the year. But Georgetown and Marquette were terrible. That's

392
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: not Dayton's fault. They thought they would be better when

393
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: they scheduled them. So thought Cincinnati was going to be better. Yeah, yeah,

394
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: I mean you play you don't win at Cincinnati, right,

395
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 4: So and so, from Dayton's perspective, you have a really

396
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 4: good non conference. You think back last year when they

397
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: beat Marquette at home, a game that had been building

398
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 4: for a long time. And you win those games and

399
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 4: then you get into conference play, you lose some games

400
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 4: in the A ten. It turns into another season where

401
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: you know you have to win the A ten tournament,

402
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: something they haven't done in two decades, and then you're

403
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 4: good enough to make the NIT, but you can't play

404
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: the n game at home because you're hosting the first four,

405
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: and then you lose in the first or second round

406
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: of the NIT. That's the same script that Dayton basketball

407
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 4: has followed for a number of years now, and Dayton

408
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: feels like a program that should be a team that

409
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: makes the NCAA Tournament, if not every year, say three

410
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: out of five years.

411
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: Agreed wholeheartily.

412
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: I want to know, as I watched these announcer pairings

413
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: do their thing during the tournament, I'm trying to guess

414
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: when you'll be calling games from one of those sites.

415
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: When's that going to happen?

416
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: Right? I hope? I hope? So right, that's the point.

417
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: How many games did you call this year?

418
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 4: At let's see, probably somewhere in the twenty range.

419
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: Ok.

420
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 4: I had a handful, had a package on CBS Sports

421
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 4: Network this year, had a non conference package with the

422
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: Big East, some Xavier games, some Butler games. Field A

423
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: sixty eight had me out for their Opening Day marathon.

424
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 4: Some games mixed in here and there that I've filled

425
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 4: in with. So yeah, hopefully, hopefully it just keeps stacking,

426
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 4: you know, stack days.

427
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: When what do you besides like talking to goofs like me,

428
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: what do you what is Indianapolis like for yourself?

429
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: Well?

430
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, so today and tomorrow I'm just around trying to

431
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 4: build some connections, do some things for the for the

432
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: rebound rundown, for the off season. We had a lot

433
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 4: of success last year highlighting these programs in the Midwest.

434
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: Would love to do more of that here this upcoming offseason,

435
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: showcasing all these facilities, teams, programs, coaches, and then Saturday

436
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 4: and Monday, depending on how they do, will be on

437
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 4: the Yukon.

438
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: Coverage side half of the Big East. So I'll be

439
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: here Saturday and Monday for the games.

440
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: All right, Very good.

441
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: It's been awesome watching you grow and I'm a huge fan.

442
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: It is my regret that we didn't, for whatever reason,

443
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: get John during the season, which is entirely my just

444
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: I don't know ineptitude, but we'll make it a point

445
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 3: next year.

446
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,400
