  Speaker 3: The the Xavier game. Uh, any have you ever been
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to a game at Xavier?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It's since I Center's a nice building. It's a great building.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: It is a great college building, really great. Have you
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: been to Butler And if you've been to Butler, you
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: know Hanklefield House, that's where they play you know the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: movie Hoosiers. That's where that high school team won the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: state championship in that building. I mean, it's been redone
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: a little bit, but it's in that building and it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: an unbelievable college facility. So there are some great facilities
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: in our in our those two I think are the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: best of any of the other ones that are in
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: ourly just great classic facilities.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know, last season, anywhere we went and particularly Hinkle.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We didn't go to the Xavier last year. I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: obviously Page had a lot to do with it. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: just the amount of kids in Paige Becker's jerseys. Now
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the case of Hankel, there were a lot of Ashland
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: shade jerseys there because ash of course is from Indiana.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: But it was just wild to see all year long.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: But Hankle was fascinating because where you guys go to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the locker room, they go downstairs and they use the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: football locker room, which is downstairs at Hankle. But to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: get there, back and forth between that and the floor,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the amount of kids in basketball jerseys is waiting just
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to see them was just extraordinary. And then afterwards they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: all hanging out outside hoping to get an autograph. That's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: what your program's like. And I remember hearing about Chicago
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: kids are up in trees. Well did you get an
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: autograph or just get a look?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, yeah, last year it was. It
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: was pretty unique. I mean, you get these little kids,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you know, when we were little kids, I mean, god,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: love it. You know if we ever had a chance
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to see a professional athlete, or.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I mean I could, who was your favorite growing up?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Do you have one, one or two guys in Philly?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Well growing up?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You know that I gotta tell you, professional basketball wasn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: what it is today. Like if you wanted to watch
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the NBA playoffs, and it was always the Sixers and
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the Celtics and to go play for the NBA Championships,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: So they never played against each other, and to see
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the game, you had to watch it the next day
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: was tape tape delayed. They didn't even show them live. Now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: college basketball, that's a different story. Down at the Plastra,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: which is on Penn's campus, that's where the best teams
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: in the country would come. There would be Big Five doubleheaders.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: You know, in the afternoon you might have Vanova playing
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: South Carolina and at night you might have Saint Joe's
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and Lasal And it was just an unbelievable atmosphere. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you know, I was a Saint Joephian growing up for
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: whatever reason. But I think my favorite player ever to
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: play in the Big Five was Kenny Duratt played at Lasal.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: He was way ahead of his time. He looked like
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: a guy that plays in the NBA today. He could
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: do all those things look like he would. He would
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: be the Jason Tatum of those days. He was just phenomenal, phenomenal,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and they were the number one team in the country,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: but they couldn't play in the tournament against UCLA because
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the previous coach that was there. You know, those Catholics,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: they don't all follow the.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Rules understood, all right, One quick break here. We're getting
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: close to the end of the show here, so we've
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: got to pay a few more bills. It's the Yukon
