• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think DMVP of this one was daring to breathe.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Total game plan victory from start to finish.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a great time for the program.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, whatever he came up with and whatever message he sent to these dudes here before senior night, obviously struck and obviously resonated with these guys.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They played a complete game from start to finish quite the contrast from the first matchup against Minnesota where they lost
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they lost at the barn and they needed that win last night.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you can kiss the NCAA tournament goodbye for sure.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you lose to Minnesota, that's right.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that's a nice win for your res for your resume.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a nice bubble game and it's trying to get you on the right side of things just to try to get you to Dayton here in about 10 days.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then Saturday, the season finale against Ohio State and the big 10 tournament, these are huge games coming up.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and they're winnable games too.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the good thing about this is Ohio State's playing really good basketball right now and they beat Purdue at home the other day.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ohio State is a good team Indiana is going to be challenged on Saturday.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a get up game.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a nationally televised game and hopefully Indiana can go on the road and take care of business.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they're in degrees, can instill the same mindset that he did to these guys before senior night.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like Indiana's chances that's another got to have it game here down the stretch and margin.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Great you and I'll talk more about that one later in the week.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for your time.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for having me great.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: More on this game and the IU women coming up at the end of this podcast with my friend Michelle Garmin on the Thursday conversation.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue got a much needed win Wednesday night in Evanston, a 70 to 66 come from behind victory over Northwestern.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't pretty, but CJ Cox had a career night with 27 points hit three big three pointers down the stretch made a couple other really big plays.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: As the 15th rank boy, their makers improved the 23 and 7 on the year, and staying contentioned for a big 10 tournament double buy.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: But honestly, it was a really pitiful performance by the boy, the makers, particularly the first half, but in total, allowed North Western to shoot 51%, 44% from deep, had 14 turnovers and didn't look engaged through the whole game.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Trick Offman ran 11 points and 10 rebounds and went over 1500 points for his career.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: But Braden Smith didn't score in the first half as Purdue fell behind by as many as 10 points.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He finished 1 for 5 from the field for 7 points.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did have 9 assists on Wednesday giving him 1,020 for his career.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just 10 behind North Carolina's Ed Koda for 3rd, 18 behind NC State's Chris Cortiani for 2nd and 56 behind National Record Holder Bobby Hurley.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: minimum 3 games left to play, maximum 10, hopefully 9.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: But as of today, this team is nowhere near where we expect them to be.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: If not for Cox and Northwestern's inability to get a rebound, produce fans would be in a world of misery right now.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: We, honestly, are anyway.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And for the first time in a really long time under Coach Painter, I now expect the worst over the next couple of weeks.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: As of today, of course, Big Ten Champion, Michigan is the top seed in the Big Ten tournament.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michigan State has a half game lead on Nebraska and Illinois for second, making those the 14s currently with the double buy.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the Purdue Wisconsin winner on Saturday will get a chance to be a top 4 seed as well.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Currently you at UCLA is 7th, Iowa 8th and IU 9th, IU looks like they're on a finish 9th.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it seems like IU and Purdue will be end up on the same side of the bracket for the first time in years.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: They still haven't played each other in the Big Ten tournament since 1998, the first year that the tournament was held.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: 27 years in a row without playing each other in the Big Ten tournament.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Most of those years, they were only 11 teams in the tournament.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You would think that it's weird, weird.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Creighton dropped Butler to 6 and 13 in the Big East with a 76.59 win, wins a 9 a hinkle, and late Wednesday, Notre Dame lost a stand for 86 to 78 to fall to 4 and 13 in the Big 10, both teams won on the other teams floor this year.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And women's college basketball in the Big 10 tournament, IU outscored Nebraska 44 to 24 in the second half.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: To beat the corn husker 72 to 69 on Wednesday night at the field house in beautiful downtown Indianapolis.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I spoke with my friend and tipped in Tribune and that would call leader sports editor and IU women season ticket holder Michelle Garmin about the win.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's coming up at the end of the podcast.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Oregon ended produce season, decent producing considering where the program's been of like, with an 8264 victory, the Ducks will play 14th ranked Maryland at 9 o'clock tonight.

  [SPEAKER_01]: And late Wednesday night in Los Angeles, gotta be honest, I did not watch it.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Minute Hickmatherin scored 23 points in his first game against the Pacers, and the Clippers handed the Pacers there.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Seventh, consecutive loss, 132-107.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Pascal Siakham had 29 points to lead the Pacers and Kawai Leonard scored 29 to lead the Clippers.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Pacers stay in town for a late Friday game against the Lakers.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Pacers have the worst record in the NBA Eastern Conference at 15 and 47, a half game behind the Brooklyn Nets and a game and a half behind the Washington Wizards.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have to say in the bottom three to get the best odds for the top pick at 14% or a top four pick at 52%.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now we move to some high school basketball light night locally in sectional basketball,

  [SPEAKER_01]: Please stay tuned for my Thursday conversation with Michelle Garmin of the Tipped and Tribune.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I would call leader.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was, um, I was concerned, you know, about 17 at halftime, but in context, I'm defense did improve in the second quarter after the first quarter.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm frasket came out just hot in 29 points and dominating the boards, but women's group here for Indiana this team has just gotten better over the course of the season.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've improved.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: So much, and I've noticed that here of late and I'm taking, I'm throwing out those two games on the West Coast because
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't have Che Chesky.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now that she does not make that much of a dip, she's not gonna make up the 30, some points, 40 points if they got beat by UCLA, UCLA is just a bad matchup for Indiana was a third-lack of depth inside right now.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: But the USC game, they may have won that.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they've quite extremely well as a team they're getting more scoring across the board.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this is the second straight game.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've put four out of their five starters and double figures.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: and my amacolasty was only a point away from being the fifth starter and she she's having a terrific freshman season named off rush the freshman team and you can't slide what Nvei a capy has done here of like she's been rock solid.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: She has to keep the glue that makes them go with the improvement of the two freshmen, the improvement.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know as so much improvement as she's learned IU's system, Addessa Noyan, and has really playing well.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I've said this, the Atlantic Terry's crew, and I think Rout Wierzba is a big reason for this and plays the biggest part.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Our great at developing post players.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you look at what the skill sets and the footwork of IU's post players,
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: you have a kinsi homes obviously.
• 18:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: But then you look at what they did, how Carol stripland and proved last year through the season.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: And again, it has a noyan is done and it's done this season.
• 18:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's tremendous.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I used to play really well.
• 18:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's going to be hard.
• 18:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Cheski, Taffy, and noyan all played 40 minutes in yesterday's win.
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: But
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: 20 point deficit largest ever come back by I at least in the Terry moron era.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're now at 18 lins on the season and they could pull another they could pull a stunner today.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know yesterday's game I think was a stunner only because I you was down so far.
• 19:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I don't think it's a stunner that they won that game considering how well they'd been playing with.
• 19:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it will be today if they beat Ohio State.
• 19:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that would be a stunner and that would put him at 19 wins.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's really a shame.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: They started the conference season.
• 19:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that is because really, for the most part, this is a year where now you couldn't afford to have all the heavyweight conference teams at the beginning of the season.
• 19:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's pretty much what they were dealt with.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: They only returned one start from a year ago.
• 19:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: and bullmen had only played a limited time as a freshman and missed all the last season.
• 19:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was a tough, and then to suffer the injury that they did this year.
• 19:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was a tough stretch.
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: They had some weaker teams.
• 19:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're big 10 record.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mine have been just a little bit better because the way they're playing right now and if they would stun a high estate.
• 20:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And most years, I would get them into the NCAA tournament, but because they only ended up with five, six wins in the big 10.
• 20:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of not going to be enough.
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: they should get a postseason birth somewhere.
• 20:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, Michelle, another big night from stage Chesky and I saw you tweeted your disappointment with the, not being all first team big 10.
• 20:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I, the media got it right and a lot of times, you know, you worry about the media because of the bias of the teams they cover.
• 20:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: but they got it right.
• 20:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: She was first team all big tin with the media.
• 20:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: The coaches got it wrong.
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: And what disappoints me about the coaches is she is that she is the player that you gain plant.
• 20:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Your whole defensive game plan revolves around when you're playing on you.
• 20:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that one coach, because
• 20:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: USC, she lay don't count, but not one coach to stop her.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: She was second in the conference in scoring and had she not tried to play the UCLA game, but could not because she rolled her ankle again.
• 21:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And she not played just briefly in that game.
• 21:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: She would have led the big tin in scoring, but it was too.
• 21:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: She shot.
• 21:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: She averaged better than 50% from
• 21:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think she's around 46% three point shooting 43 to 46 and big 10 and all season 90% reach real line big 10 and all season and 50 40 and 90 and I think she's like only the fourth player to have those kind of numbers since they've been tracking the stats but you mentioned.
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: six wins.
• 21:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if I'm a coach, a player has to be extra special for me, not she is all right, thank you, the argument, 60 40 and 90.
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: who else did that.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: You, you, you, you couldn't stop her.
• 21:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she was, she's, she's, she's scored 23.2 points.
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: The game shed some games were even bigger number.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: You couldn't stop and they tried.
• 22:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Great.
• 22:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I watched, they would hold her.
• 22:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: They would grab her.
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: They would double team her.
• 22:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: They would play her man and a half.
• 22:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: They would triple team her at times.
• 22:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: They could not stop her.
• 22:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: To me.
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: that just speaks volumes had are you been in contention for the conference and she should have been considered racial with Lauren Beth for conference player of the year.
• 22:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: She shouldn't punish her because she's not six seven.
• 22:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Beth's been six seven.
• 22:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she's good, but she's also the biggest most physical player in the big towns.
• 22:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: So she is going to dominate inside nightly.
• 22:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: She has to get it is tremendous and so I just felt like the coach is not very little bit, but it's just extra motivation to have to prove them wrong again today.
• 22:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she does and her game is just so good because she's been close to triple double.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's had a lot of double doubles with points and rebounds and she's five seven guard.
• 22:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just to me, it's just tremendous.
• 22:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's worked so hard and has become such a great scoring.
• 23:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I firmly believe she can play at the next level, because she's worked on having a quick release and knows how to create space for herself.
• 23:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, Michelle, I talked to Grant and she asked her earlier on this show, but I wanted to get your opinion of the IU men.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: In particular, I know that they've got to get Sam Alexis Moore involved and he needs to be stronger and tougher and last night they did exactly that.
• 23:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, he has, I think, outside of just maybe the, um, I don't the Purdue game when he really struggle, I think he has been.
• 23:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: He has been really playing really well here of life.
• 23:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: And Coach DeVries had mentioned it earlier this year that he took the blame, because he said, we didn't figure out Santa Alexis's strength to take advantage of them soon enough.
• 23:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it happened.
• 23:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is phenomenal.
• 23:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I wish he had another year.
• 23:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really wish his group had all come in as juniors, because I think they would have been, I think this year of experience and playing together what it just been.
• 24:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: tremendous for them going forward, but I get it.
• 24:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know everybody talks about the roster and lots of reason.
• 24:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: What?
• 24:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we should have done better in the portal of that.
• 24:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: He has zero players, players left.
• 24:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he was five or six days before the portal.
• 24:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 24:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't have a whole staff yet.
• 24:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 24:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I was going to say.
• 24:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was a serious disadvantage.
• 24:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think he'd be able to put together a team that would finish in the top 15 in the big 10.
• 24:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, my Wilkerson was a home run hit for him home run home run and what he and don't tell me to earn the reason his staff are bad coaches because what they they develop Wilkerson into a complete guard.
• 24:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was a shooting just pretty much a shooter, but they told him he needed to be more to play at the big 10 and find success and he's worked on it and he is more.
• 24:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And coach devries was finally figured out that you got to have Connor in right at the point.
• 24:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, yes, just too good at control in the offense.
• 25:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I understand he can't shoot.
• 25:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to score for you very much.
• 25:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's just too good at running that offense as we saw last night when he and Alexis were in the game.
• 25:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were pretty much unstoppable.
• 25:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: they really were and it's really good and it helps to that his son can be kind of play that point forward to and it helps and I like I like that you I don't I wish we had more inside I don't like the I may be disappointed at times with read Bailey's numbers are performance.
• 25:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: but he hit the home fans to boo him that is wrong because the one thing with Reed Bailey, this whole group that every player he's brought in, they play hard.
• 25:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: We haven't seen that you play hard.
• 25:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't play hard like this every game under Witzon and they do with the freeze.
• 25:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so you can be disappointed and wish that he rebounded better and everything and I've said that sometimes that's been
• 26:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's what hurt are you in losses, but I would never say who read Bailey.
• 26:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's doing the best, trying to do the best that he can.
• 26:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: The only time college player should be boot is when there's lack of effort.
• 26:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Anyone?
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 26:17
