  [SPEAKER_01]: Over the last 48 hours and the next 24 hours we had a culture report.

  [SPEAKER_01]: I've been busy, but still somehow made time for this show.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Your 10-minute report begins now.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I got the score wrong in the opener.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Indiana beat Bellarman 92 to 69.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Go to 2-0 on the year and Grant Shows.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Join me to talk about the Hoosier's victory.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Grant as a broadcaster yourself, first chance for you to watch the Hoosier's live your impressions.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like what I've seen here to start.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Indiana's got a nice group here.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they've got a nice roster.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Would like to see a little more consistency out of a couple guys, like Marcus Burton.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: O for seven from the floor tonight, not gonna get it done in the big ten.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Especially when you're a point guard and you're supposed to be the starting point guard.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't really produced him.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: The exhibition besides the Butler game and then in the first two downbound conference games.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have Darren Harris tonight 23 points to lead the way.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: We set out.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's capable of heating it up at heat enough at any moment.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's five for ten from three this evening and this team shoots the ball well.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're capable of shooting the ball well.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're capable of shooting the ball well last year.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: They'd be really streaky.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now they have other options like to submit.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: You get so glue four points tonight seven two on the grab to one rebound though, Greg not a good sign eight and 12 point six rebounds for him.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was a nice Indiana team.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when you factor in, like Bryce Lindsay, you had a great game that I had with 15 off the bench.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Same Alexis had 12 and six off the bench, Trevor Manherds had nine off the bench.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Manherds has built really, really well.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's built like a college basketball player, obviously.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he's long, he's lanky, he's gonna be a star at some point, hopefully at Indiana if he doesn't transfer out.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a really nice Indiana team who put up 92 points on Thursday gets Bellarman.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looks like they have good depth.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You talked about Lindsey coming off the bench.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's the second game on a row.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's come off the bench and had a nice game.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And yet, Sicily, play in 17 minutes, Alexis 24, and Manherd's looks like he's just kind of seamlessly taken to the college game.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I played 19 minutes tonight as a true freshman.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good sign.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when you've got Trent says play has been there for a year.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: We only played about 16 minutes.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, the debt is what's going to win this team games.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they could go eight, nine deep guys.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think like the one name I'm real impressed with or I think could be good.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think will be good at some point is Vaughan Carvala.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy that could come in off the bench.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: and produced for them at some point later in the season, he hasn't played a whole lot, he only played about four and a half minutes tonight.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: When you look at Bellarman here, they put up 69 points defensively in the end, I was solid.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was more lopsided, I think, in the score indicates in a way, you know, when you look at it,
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: What Bellerman has, it gets an Indiana finger prints like we talked about, you know, Evan Harrell actually, a kid that I know that went to Karmo and played tonight, he had six points, Julius Gizzy, the new pal kid, a transfer from Iowa, he had six points tonight as well.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Bellerman a team that hopefully could be good, but Indiana obviously the better team that I, you look at what they did.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: You look at what they did team wise.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Largest lead at one point was 30.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they had 20 points off at turnovers, 36 points in the paint.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: 46 points off the bench tonight.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's really, that's really, that's really, really good.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, hopefully we learn more about the side you team and you've got their biggest tests of the regular season to date.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Coming up on Monday, National Televised Game at GameBirds Field Out, so you can third-cuses.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: got the weekend off as an IU fan to football, no basketball, but come back Monday with a really big basketball game.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: The first, as you mentioned, the first big one of the year.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it'll be a nice measuring stick for this team early on in the season to play.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's you like Sturacus, we've seen there.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not conference quite frankly, the last three or four years, you know, the last couple of years with Mike Woodson, you know, that guy was just, you know, fighting to be forward a golf coast, you know, so.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Gived air into Vries credit for getting that circuit's game on the schedule.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll be a good test.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Third Q's has kind of been in position like Indiana.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're kind of a thing from the path.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to stay relevant.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got a new young coach, Jerry McNamara, who actually last year at Sienna, had Duke on the ropes in the NCAA tournament as a 16-year-old.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And a game that they could have won.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they could have beaten that Duke team just kind of ran out of gas at the end.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, he's a good coach and he's a guy that is kind of the trendy mid-major higher, you know, that when you saw him at CNN, you know, he was leaving, like, you knew he was going to go take the ladder and he went to Syracuse, he played at Syracuse, so there's more pride there.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got Carmelo Anthony son on that team too, so they've got potentially some future NBA talent on that Syracuse team.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be a nice test on a neutral floor on a nationally
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then Tennessee Tech on Thursday and then the following week, Arkansas and Kentucky both neutral site games as well, so we're going to know a lot more in the next couple weeks.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know who the coach at Tennessee Tech is, right?
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is Tobin Anderson.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you remember him?
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was the head coach at FDU in 2023.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had a big win in the NCAA tournament.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Grand leg so much appreciated.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, appreciate it, Greg.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to having a weekend off from Indiana Football.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been bad on my heart palpitations and my heart... Oh, I bet.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So last few weeks, it would be nice to have a week off of not really having to raise the heart rate.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Three straight games of just non-stop heart palpitations.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, it's been more like four straight games.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Actually, that's right.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, five of the last six.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you go back to the North Western game.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was the early heart palpitations, even though Indiana never trailed the Rutgers game.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I actually was able to sit back and prop my feet up in a sense.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then Nebraska, Ohio State Michigan and Minnesota, man, just, ooh.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Had you almost having to go check into the hospital.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm glad I get to just relax and watch probably the biggest sleigh of college football of the season, but maybe the last decade.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm really excited.
