• 4:37
  Speaker 3: two days away from taking over Oklahoma City PBA South
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Huskers draw four seed and we'll face the thirteen seed
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Troy Trojans in the Big Dance.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Let the madness begin. Boys, here we go. That's all
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: were waiting for onto this half marathon on the game.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Thanks for reminding me, that's right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I really forget about that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: The bet is if the Huskers won a tournament game
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: entering this year. Actually, I think we made the bet
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: after the BYU exhibition game. Officially, Dak, if the Huskers
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: win a tournament game that I have to run a
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: half marathon. If the Huskers don't, Dak has to right
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: now with us being favored to win, it's looking like
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I may be doing that. But that is the line.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Are you doing the Havesie or are you doing the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Half?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: What will be this spring?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: No?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go do it somewhere else?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: So oh okay, you can go on the Road Road podcast.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Make Dak travel somewhere. Watch.
• 5:49
  Speaker 12: Who would have thought you have a half marathon on
• 5:51
  Speaker 12: Troy money line. That's a hell of a bet, hunter,
• 5:54
  Speaker 12: that's great.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do we know all where all of our away
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: games aren't? Next year we find a half marathon in
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the same town as.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: There we go. I like that idea.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Sue falls, Sue falls.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And Michigan State September twenty sixth, Indiana, October tenth, Orgon
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: where I'm.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Thinking about going, So that may happen. But yeah, that's
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: that's what's on the line. From a betting perspective.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Here a lot to get through.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Since the last time we've been on it's been another
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: few weeks. I believe we last had a podcast after
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Iowa storm the Court in Iowa City, and since then
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: things have been I don't want to say okay eh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: but they have. They haven't been great, but they haven't
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: been horrible.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: No, we.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe come down to earth a little bit as far
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: as the twenty and oh start, and you know, even
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: getting up to that one seed line, I think we
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: were pretty much locking ourselves into a three seed there
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: for a while, and then after losing to Purdue in
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten tournament, we are now a four seed
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: in the tournament, which you know, may have worked better
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: for us with the matchup that we got against Troy.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I think you can argue, you know, just stylistically and
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: who we're playing, whether it's better to be a three
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: or a four seed there, but we didn't bounce back
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: beat Iowa at home in overtime, almost blew that game
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: away there on March eighth, and then the twenty point
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: lost to UCLA, but also a fifteen point win against
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: usc out there, and then taking care of business against
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Maryland and Penn State. I mean, are you guys concerned
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: at all with how our team is looking? Just from
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: an eye test standpoint? Right? Obviously we can get into
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: details and specifics, but just from an eye test, are
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you concerned with how the season ended?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It's tough to shake the Purdue loss and the Big
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Ten tournament that was probably the ugliest game we've played
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: all year. I didn't, Now, admittedly I did not stay
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: up and watch the whole UCLA game. It started at
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: ten to twenty at night. I watched the first ten
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: minutes and I was like, I am not.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Stayed up for this. There's no way I've stayed up
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: for it. I wish I didn't.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I would. I'd be lying if
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't say it wasn't concerned. I mean, we've lost
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: six of our last twelve, right for five hundred. Now
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you look at it, it's Purdue twice who was you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: know again, preseason rank number one carved up the Big
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Ten and the Big Ten tournament, so you know, there
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: were Big Ten champions. Ucla got really hot at the end.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: They also were surprisedly doing well. And then Michigan and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Illinois and you know, like the team related to their
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: bad teams that we weren't outside of the Ucla loss,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and then Purdue, we again were getting killed. So I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: think I'm fine, but I would be lying if I
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: said I was totally comfortable with where we're at.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm.
• 9:19
  Speaker 12: I'm definitely not like freaking out over it, because I
• 9:21
  Speaker 12: think Purdue is just at the oppolute worst matchup Nebraska
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: could have. I they just, especially Brainsmith, he just dissected
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: the Nebraska defens the whole days.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And then when you have bigs and two incredible you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: not incredible, but two really good guards, it's tough.
• 9:39
  Speaker 12: I think they truly are probably the worst matchup in
• 9:41
  Speaker 12: the whole nation for Nebraska Purdue. So I'm not too
• 9:43
  Speaker 12: worried about that, just because those big guys. But but
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: then the Iowa game, I thought they looked great that
• 9:50
  Speaker 12: whole game until the end there that when they blew
• 9:52
  Speaker 12: that lead, they're like, oh shit, we are done. This
• 9:55
  Speaker 12: is season over here. But coming out of that, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 12: guess coming out the Wayne, I'm not I'm not too
• 10:02
  Speaker 12: worried about that. You see a game I say, going
• 10:03
  Speaker 12: into La Trip, You're gonna lose one of those two
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: and I'd be happy. So it's it's definitely how you
• 10:09
  Speaker 12: won end the year. But I guess I guess to
• 10:13
  Speaker 12: come out with the four seed, you gotta be happy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: But it's definitely now how you want to go on
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: the tournament.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Austin, to your point on the teams
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: we've lost to, I mean, you can definitely look at
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: that angle from an optimistic standpoint and say, yeah, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: these teams are better, we just hadn't quite got to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: them yet in our schedule. We actually beat a couple
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: of them early on, Wisconsin for example, killed them early
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: on in the year before they got hot, and then
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: got Illinois on the road. So you can just argue
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: that that's part of it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: And that's part of the ten Three of the five
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: teams could be in the sweet sixteen.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Correct the flip side of that, and this is maybe
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: the concern of how the seasons ended is that you
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: wonder if teams have figured out how to I'm gonna
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: go both sides of the ball first offensively, have they
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: figured out how to defend us and and really take
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: away what we're trying to do and what of our
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: adjustments and our tweaks have been to our system and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: our sets that we're doing. You know, specifically when I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: when we went to Iowa City, I mean Iowa locked
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: us down and I mean really just physical with us,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: did a good job of getting us off the line.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Sandford could ever get going. We know, mass has not
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: been shooting it great. Mars Lawrence has been like, is
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: that a product of these players not playing as good
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: in the system or is it just a product that
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that we're playing teams that are probably a little bit
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: better than us. You know a little bit of both.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: And you could argue both sides of it, and and
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: you can make it a concern if you want to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: make it a concern, or you can say nope, like
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: we're four seed and and we're gonna go into the
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: tournament with the team that we've had all a year,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and we like our chances against Troy. So I do
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: think that's when you hear people say, ah, I don't know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: we've been in kind of a slump. Yeah, Like I
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: do think teams have figured us out on that side
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: of the ball, on the flip side, our defense and
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the scheme that Nate Lenser runs and the force and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: trap baseline. You know, I'll argue, like you guys said,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: we're not good against posts. Actually we are. We do
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: very well against no players, but when they rebound and
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: athleticism is what beeps us. So like we do defend
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: low post players well. And the scheme that we do
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: has been exploited a little bit here and there, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: there's not a one size fit fits all for that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And I do think that our scheme is hard to
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: prepare for too when you're playing in a tournament setting
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: like this too, So like I do think that works
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to our advantage. I just think it's a it's a
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: little bit of product. Like we're all on film, right,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: everything's out there. I think we are a team that
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: does and have a lot of margin for error, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: if shots aren't going down as much as they were,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: or they're getting contested a little more, or you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: we're we're missing one rotation or one offensive rebound, you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: offensive rebounding has been a little bit of a bugaboo
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: for us in the last few games. Like those things
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: can cost you obviously games here late in the year,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: but but also a win in the tournament. So I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: do think there's reason to be concerned. I we'll talk
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: about Troy here in a second. Uh, there's some things
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: that you know, they have shown this year that they
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: are better at than others too, So that's I don't know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that's where my head's that going into the tournament is like,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm concerned, but I also do believe in what we're
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: trying to do on both ends and trust the coaches
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: are equipped to handle you know, what we're going to get,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: especially this first round game against Troy.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Right, I'd say on the optimistic side, you know, with
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the yes we are on film, but now we're playing
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: teams that aren't in the Big Ten and they won't
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: have a week to prepare. You know, you're gonna go in,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: We're gonna play Thursday. They w't play a team against
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: that Saturday who hasn't participated in any Big Ten basketball
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: games to play on two wins.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: But so there's some confidence there where, Yeah, we might
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: have been figured out a little bit. But are they
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: got to really be ready for price ripping like curling
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: around for those threes or have they just gone on
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: film for a day and now they kind of think
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: they know what to do.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're an opposing team, right, You're you're
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: looking at You're watching a lot of these more recent games,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: and you're you're seeing how teams are guarding us, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I think there's one the scheme you're trying to do
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: to stop it. But too, you've got to have the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: athleticism and players its defended as well. Flip side on offense, right,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: you gotta have you gotta have one x's and nose piece,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: But too you got to have the athletes and the
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: shooters and the types of players to attack.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It's kind of the same thing of why I always
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: like I always like Jim Beheim the Cuse, and I
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: like the Orange going a couple of rounds every year
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: in the tournament because there they just did it. Their
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: zone defense was.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: So unique, right, it's hard to figure out.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I think we'll have a little bit
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of that, and then if we win against Troy, if
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I think we'll play, we'll play looser. I think we've
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: played a little bit tighter coming down the stretch because
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you know the monkey's still there. I think we'll win
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: against Troy. It just it'll help.
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: I mean, if you're physical, physical at Nebraska, we have
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: proven that it's our team is not built for that,
• 15:36
  Speaker 12: like and I guess it also depends on how people
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: are gonna how the grafts are gonna rep this game too.
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: If they're letting them hold them push price the whole time,
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: then we are Nebraska is pretty screwed.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Because we can also be physical on defense.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which have we proven that we can adjust to
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: that our.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Defense a little bit. It's so schematic based. I would
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: say that gameplay, we're okay. We're okay playing I mean
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: a little bit more. We have more scheme and it's
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: not a zone, but it's a lot more forced to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: a certain spot and traffic. And I will say some
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: more better games are when we're allowed to be physical too.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: So that's awesome point there. But you're right off ball
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and a lot of that stuff with with Price and
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: how teams are going to defend that, that's gonna be
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: a big thing. And Austin, you mentioned the monkey on
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: our back, which we haven't talked about, but it was
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: mentioned in Hoiberg's press conference here today and it's gonna
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: be a topic of conversation. It already is on on
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: national stuff when they preview this game. Is obviously Nebraska
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: not winning a tournament game ever in its history.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: So.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: One I guess I want to ask you, guys, is
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that a factor with this team? And to how do
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you deal with it?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: A great question. Yes, it is as a factor. There's
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: no way that the pressure is not being felt. I mean,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you just have to approach it. I mean, I mean,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: in theory, you've been dealing with that all season, so
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like you continue to do approach it the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: same way. But you know, I think it helps that
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: we kind of got slacked a little bit by Purdue.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. You obviously would want to be
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: for going in hot, but it's a long it's a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: long time off to just chew on it. Basically. I mean,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you had one game in the middle there. I have
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: no idea. I don't know.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I think it's huge.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a soft home crowd. I'm gonna I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: putting money right now, it's gonna be really freaking red
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: come eleven forty on Thursday.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's a massive factor.
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: That's all anyone's talking about when you bring up Nebraska
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: is it's they've never won a tournament games, so this
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: is they probably have the most pressure of anyone in
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: the first round to win this game. Like unless you're
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: sixteen verse one, the sixteen beats anyway. But to get
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: that monkey off the back, like you just said, it'll
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: free up so much of even going into years after this.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: It just get that monkey out of there. No one
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: ever can bring it up again.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: And that's and the players in the in the UH
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: press conferences have been kind of kind of pushing it
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: off a little bit, but you can tell they know
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: what this is, what this means.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: See, And that's the question. Do you do you just
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: address it head on as a I mean, as a
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: coaching staff, as players in conversations you just say, yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: we know it's here. Does it a change? Or do
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: you try to keep it hush hush and avoid it
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: and deflect it? I mean that's that I don't I
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: never know what that kind of stuff. Here's what I'm
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: encouraged with is how that now this is gonna go
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: back a couple of months, how we started the year.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: How many times did we go when we were five
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and oh seven, Oh, this will be the one. Oh
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: my god, there's pressure. We're getting in the top twenty five.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Now are okay, we'll probably blow this. When we got
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: into the top twenty five, Okay, big game on the
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: road against Illinois, Okay, this is we're gonna lose. Nope,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: we didn't lose that one. How many times did we
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: go through that in our heads up until the point
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: we did lose our first game where we thought the
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: pressure or the call it whatever, the national hype, the
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: attention on a team that was picked to finish what
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: fourteenth out of fifteenth, seventeenth, I don't know where we're
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: at in the big ten. We've gone through this this
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: year already, not just like this group in past years,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Like this year, we've gone through the pressure. Now it
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: has been a while and we have been six and
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: six in our last twelve games. So is that six
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: and six part of in our head going, well, maybe
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: we're not as good as we think we are. And
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: then when the time and situation comes and things do
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: get tight all of a sudden, now we start thinking
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: about it or can this team go back to the
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: thought process that it had early on in the and
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: just I don't I don't care what anybody's saying about
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: how good we're supposed to be or how good we
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: think we are, and just win each possession at a time.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And that was Fred's message was, you know, our team
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: still focused on doing the little things, win one, one
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: possession at a time, and I'm like, yeah, we are.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: You would have hoped that that truly was the mindset
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: and not just coach speak, that we would be seeing
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: maybe a few couple more wins here than what we have.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So you hope that that's not gone. It's definitely was
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: there at one point in the year. And that that's
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: why I have a little bit of hope that, yeah,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of talk and pressure, but
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what we think. It matters what is
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: going on in the locker room and what you can
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: get through to your players. And if you can get
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: through that to them or not let it get to them,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be in a good spot it We're not
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: gonna know if that's a thing and your general responsibilit Yeah,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: of corseless pressure well, it's to what extent though, like
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: k ken Kenya, you know, not working. Are your players
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: in the right of mind heading into that to not
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: let that be a factor.
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: You know, where I have the most faith in this
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: game is in the pressure wise and all that whatever.
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: I have the most amount of respect from Nate Lenser
• 21:12
  Speaker 12: and what he's gonna do defensively wise, I think that
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: dude can scheme up something so quick, it doesn't matter
• 21:18
  Speaker 12: if it's two or three days down the road here,
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: so quick that he can defend any team in the
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: scheme it right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: That's that's what I mean.
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: And the other good part is we have Hoiberg leaning
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: the charge. He was talking about how last game, his
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: last tournament game whatever, when they lost A and M,
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: they came to that game they thought they were gonna
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: win because they wanted it more. Well, that just can't happen,
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: like Troy wants to just so much. Nebraska. It's you
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: gotta schematically wise figure out how to lock them down
• 21:48
  Speaker 12: and rebound. That's two things.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: How has the has the betting line moved at all
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of this game?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I just saw thirteen and a half.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, it opened up fifteen and a half, So I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: do think you're looking at the bracket, it's probably the
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: most picked up set for four thirteen.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and then there's a lot I mean, that's
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: just the general consensus for all the reasons that we're saying,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: right like it is, it's just it's going to be one.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Of those We're definitely we're it's i mean, not the
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: undervalue KU's record or you know, expectations, but we're probably
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the most pressured or lower seed as far as what
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: the expectations are for getting.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: And a lot of that still goes back to the
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: brand of people in nationally just filling out a bracket
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: and saying Nebraska has never been here before, like right,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: it just it just part of it, and yeah, that's
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: why you just you just hope that and you want
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: to believe that this team is I mean, especially like
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Dac you said, Lent Lesnar and then like Fred, the
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: scheme and the system and the styles that we're doing
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: are are going to outweigh the emotional part of it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: And know, yeah, I hope we learned from our last game,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: and you know that's what has to get you feeling
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: good going into Troy, uh real quick before diving into
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: them I I Austin. You mentioned the redout crowd. Austin's
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: talk before he's going down. I'm going down. Dak's not
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: a fan, He's not going down. It's gonna be a
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: pretty wild, wild, wild weekend. I mean, hopefully it lasts
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: more than one day. Uh, you know, playing that first
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: game or I guess second game at eleven forty, first
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: game in OKC against Troy, I know, getting tickets was nuts.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: You know, the fake TV time slot that still happened
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: to be and yeah, that was But I guess I
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: don't know what else to say besides, I mean, I
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: think everybody expected to be pretty awesome and crazy, and
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I mean I think we can all name several people
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: that we know that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Are going I said, I think it's gonna be pretty
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: read down there.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: So, I mean, honestly, they win this first game, it's
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: all gravy by that point, right, you won't be as
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: mad if they lose the vander build Er whoever they
• 24:11
  Speaker 12: play that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it all just comes down to this and that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: You know what, And that goes back a little bit
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to our I think we talked about this one of
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: its last part a few before, like what is the
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: expectation what should we be doing. Well, guess what, we
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: are a higher seed than Vanderbilt, like in theory, right,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: we should win. And yeah, I think there's two ways
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: to look at it. One for the season that we've had,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: some of the wins that we've had, Yeah, you'd be
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: it'd be well deserved to get to the Sweet sixteen,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: or further based on what we've done to get the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: monkey offer back. Yeah, we just get that first game,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: and I think that'll actually help our focus for the
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: first game. Whereas you know, think if we've won a
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: couple of tournament games in the last ten years, right,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: you're going into this game, you probably can overlook someone
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: like Troy and looking onto the second week. So I
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: think we'll be pretty locked into this first game because
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: we know that, you know, we got to get this
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: first win. And then, like you said, Austin, we might
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: play really loose, which could be good or bad given
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: what Vanderbilt's got.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they only I keep telling myself because obviously there's
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: part of me that's just terrified that we're just gonna
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: go down there. We're just gonna be sad Husker fans
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and the camera is just gonna cut to us and
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: we're all gonna be, you know, hands on her head,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you know, looking down. But I tell myself, if if
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: this was, you know, week four of the season, we're
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: playing South Alabama, I'm not worried and Troy was only
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: one game better. You know, Troy. South Alabama was the best,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: second best team in the Troy's conference. You know, Okay it,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Troy's good. But like if I saw Troy earlier this season,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: be like, that's a win.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: So that's what I'm telling Yeah, let's let's preview Troy
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: here a little a little bit. So what I'm what
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I'm pulling up here. If you're watching on YouTube, I
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: do help coach high school basketball, So I use the
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: scouting template that we have there and started watching a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: little bit of Troy the last couple of days, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: so I've put some player stuff out there to see
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: what they had. I watched I think two games start
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: to finish. Here's my initial takes on on them. They're
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: definitely scary. I think that we have the better players,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: multiple We have multiple better players.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Than they do.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: They play a style that is very scrappy and they
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: win a lot of loose balls. They they're really good
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: offensive rebounding team. They're not super tall, but they have
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: like sneaky length. They will run and transition and they
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: want to shoot a lot of threes, but they're okay
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: playing slow as well. I don't know if you saw
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: our point total, but it's one of the lowest out
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: there of the all the round of sixty fours. So
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I think they're scary, but I don't I don't think
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: it's a bad matchup for US. I also don't think
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: it's like a phenomenal matchup for US, but because they
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: do do some things that really scary you, and if
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: they execute their stuff well, what they have coming in
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: against our defense, they have the ability to score a
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: lot of points where I think that we could be
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: at a big advantage here. And this is I really
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: love the over in our game. I don't think we're
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: going to have a whole lot of trouble scoring against them,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: specifically inside. I don't know how they're going to I
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: don't think they have the athletes and the players to
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: stick with what we try to do offensively. I think
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I think that will be difficult for him. So that's
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: my overall take of the Troy Trojans as I've watched
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: them here couple of games. If you guys, do you
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: guys have anything to add.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Or that you've seen, Yeah, watched the Detroit Trojan's.
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: I'm just gonna say, those two redheaded brothers scared of
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: the living crap on me. Those two can get hotter
• 28:13
  Speaker 12: in hell. And I can just imagine right now they
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: come in. They those two both hit like fifteen. Yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: that that's what scares the living crap. Those two can
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: shoot the lights out. And it's it's the rebounding. Yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: it's not that I watched a couple of their games.
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: It's not the size they get these rebounds.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: You watch a couple of other games, you watched.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Highlights and some of the USC games.
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: But the rebounds they do get, it's like they're just
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: in the right position to grab and it has nothing
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: to do with their size. They just know how to
• 28:42
  Speaker 12: get to the ball on those rebounds.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: To go through some of their players. And like I said,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: if you're watching on YouTube, you can see a picture
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: of them. But their best two players are number one
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Thomas Dow averages fifteen a game, and then a number
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: eleven Victor Valdez. Average is also a fifteen a game.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: They're two. I'll call him very just methodical type players.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Uh number eleven there the Valdez kid. He has a
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: style and they said it's on one of the broadcast
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: but very similar to Luca, like just very patient. He's
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: not overly quick, but uses his body, his shoulders really
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: well when he drives. He's not a great three point shooter.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: He will shoot him, but what he's best at is
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: getting to the rim and then and then Dowd their
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: other guy. He's kind of there, get it and go guy.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: They want to get him the ball when when things
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: are tough. He can score from mid range, he can
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: score with the rim, he can score from three. He
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: shoots thirty four from three, shoots about six a game.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Like he's he's their go to guy. He can also
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: get frustrated. The one game I was watching, they were
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: better off without him in for a few minutes because
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: he got frustrated, had a couple of turnovers. So it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: not like he's a all big ten type caliber player.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: None of these guys are. But but what they try
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: to do they're pretty good at and they do some
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: good things. Dak mentioned, I'll go to the two brothers here,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Cooper and Kobe Campbell. Cooper is the better one of
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: the two. He's the one that plays point guard, and
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: he's a little bit thicker, stronger Coke. Kobe's a lefty.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: But they both can shoot the crap out of it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Like Dak said, they're both about forty point shooters. They
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: both shoot five a game. They can get hot, they
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: can make make a lot in a short amount of time.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: But that's what their best at for sure. And then
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: the guy who's been starting recently is Darrell Bellamy. He's
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: a six nine two and thirty five pounds senior post player.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: He's not a three point shooter, doesn't want to. He's
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: a he's a bit. He's their post. He's a he's
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: a dunker. He just he he's a hangs around the basket.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: He's a good rebounder. He's averaging twenty point six points
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: in the last three games. So he's just he's been
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: around the the boards a lot, and they found him
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: a lot when guys are driving to go along with him.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Their other postige player more of a stretch for guy,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: will shoot a little bit. He has not played the
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: last six games due to a knee injury. But the
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: stuff that I've been seeing is pretty probable to play
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: on Thursday is Theo Sang. He's six twenty five pounds
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: senior as well. He does run the floor really well.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: In transition, he plays more of the high post area.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: It kind of reminds me of Walter Pitchford. Maybe a
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: little more athletic than than Walter p but he he
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: does do some good things as well. He's our third
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: lead leading scorer on the year. And then they bring
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: in two other guys here, this Carrington Keel. He's a
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: six D sophomore, very good offensive rebounder, that's what he's
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: in for. He will shoot a couple of threes, but
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: he's a very good offensive rebounder for the minutes that
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: he plays. And then number ninety five Austin Frost. He's
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: like he's the head coach's kid. Head coach Scott Cross
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: is in his seventh year. Gotta be careful not to
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: say Scott Frost. He plays hard, he plays very tough
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: first size, he'll shoot threes when he's in he I mean,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: he's let's be real, he's he's Sam as a freshman,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: like that's that's what he that's what he does. He
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: does a lot of those little things. He's not great
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: dribbling the ball. He doesn't do a whole lot. He's
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: obviously their eighth man, ninth man, but he's gonna play
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: some too. So that give you what you're looking at
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: here for the Troy Trojans. I don't usually do this,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: but I had some time today and this evening and
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: put some stuff together.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: So do you think this will have the most white
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: people at the tip top of the game Pavini in
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the round of sixty four?
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, it very well could be nine.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: It could be very well could be nine. So the
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Redheads too.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Two they're they're rebounding.
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: It scares the shooting and the rebound they're rebounding just
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: scares the crap on. Mean, their offensive rebound, Like I said,
• 33:19
  Speaker 12: they just get in repositions. I don't they're not very tall,
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: but that that one new that guy who said z
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: average one game that year is a strong freaking dude,
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: and he It just scares the crap on me because
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: Rank is not the most physical due in the world.
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: And Burkeye Brooke's all right rebounding, but just those two,
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: I feel like it's a horrible matchup with him.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they shoot a lot of threes, are not great
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: percentage wise. They shoot the thirty eighth most threes in
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: the country, but they only make thirty three point five
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: percent of them overall. It's two hundred and sixth uh
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: in the country, so they will shoot a lot. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: then you mentioned the offensive rebounding. They're forty first in
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: the country and onoffensive rebounding they're sixty fifth and assists
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: fifty six and steals, so they opposing teams have not
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: shot it great against them. They've opposing controllingly shooting thirty
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: one point three percent, which is forty seventh uh in
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: in the country. So that's that's stat wise, what what
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: they look at. They're turnover percent just twelve point seven forced,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: so that's a top one hundred stat for them as well.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: It just speaks to their again grittiness and scrappiness on
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: the defensive end. I do want to mention too that
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I've watched them, and this is more of a scheme
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: x as a nost thing, but they they the two
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: games I watched, they've ran a matchup zone probably more
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: than half the time. And and when when you say
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: a zone. You know, your traditional basketball people might think
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: two three, you know, three two one three one something
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: like that. The zone is a is matchup for a reason,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: and so it just kind of morphs to how you're
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: going to at pack it, which some coaches struggle to
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: attack that offensively, and if you have good ball movement
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and have the right scheme to go against it, you
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: will end up getting some wide open shots. But it
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: was effective in the two games that I watched against them.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they'll run that a lot against us,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: or if they'll try to. Here's the good news with that.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: If you run something like that, you are not locking
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: on and chasing a guy like Price Sandford, so they do.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: If they do run this matchup zone, I would expect
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: us to have some stuff ready to get sand for
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: some open shops and that can be how we go
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: on a run. I mean, I really do think if
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: they go to that, it's going to be hard to
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: defend us. But they've ran it and it was effective
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: against Georgia Southern and Akron and Appalachian States. I mean,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: it worked well against them. Again, I don't know that's
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: something they'll run against us, But I didn't want to
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: throw that out there, so.
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: You guys think they're going to break that out and
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: if it's like a break Laska's emergency, like if it
• 36:01
  Speaker 12: sucks for like a minute and a half, two they're
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: never going back to it.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Uh Worth noting the Trojans have played five overtime games
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: this year, four of which went to double overtime. One
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: of them went to triple overtime against the USC earlier
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: in the year, So they're they're used to.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: They've been in a lot of close games, even their wins.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just if you look at their schedule,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I think the only Power five team that I saw
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: on there was usc USC. But but they you know,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: they they've been in a lot of close games, and
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: you know, you can say it's good or bad when
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you're looking at the our game. But yeah, I mean
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: they're twenty two and eleven. It's not like they're some
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: of these mid majors you might he might get a
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: thirty and fourteam or something like that. You know that
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: they've got some losses. The one common opponent that we have,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: which Dak of course shared with me, was was West Georgia,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: where they lost by four two them.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: We played them in.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Double overtime, so that is the one them in USC
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: are the two common opponents there that we have.
• 37:13
  Speaker 12: We're really worried about a team that lost to West Georgia,
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: who we killed, that doesn't even have a logo on
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: the ESPN app, like, come on, we're gonna We're gonna
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: destroy toy.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Our preview is go through some of our players
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: and and things that we've seen or have not seen
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: the past few games. I think halfway through the season,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: when we were at twenty and er every single player
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: if you wanted to do a stock ticker on them all,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: it all happen, all pointing up and was exceeding whatever
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: we thought coming into the year.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: It was above that.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Since then, some things have cooled off, maybe because of
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: the who we played, how teams have stdogize against us.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: But kind of want to go through what we expect
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: and what we want to see need to see out
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: of these guys going in And I don't care where
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: we start, Dak, I'll let you start where you want
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: to go and give me your thoughts.
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: I'm just gonna say this right now. I think kill
• 38:18
  Speaker 12: Jacobson has to play a lot in this game. I
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: love when he gets in there because him and Hoiberg
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: together just defend like their ass off when they're running together.
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: I think you play them a lot. You just make
• 38:29
  Speaker 12: their those two redheads live. Hell, you play him raf
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: the bat because I think I think good things happening
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: with Kal's in the game, and that's probably that probably
• 38:38
  Speaker 12: means less minutes for Fraker. But you know, I don't
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: care that dude's been playing like he's been playing terrible lately.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: The kill Jacobson, that's where we're starting.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Dak want to start Kale. So what I mean,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: here's my thoughts on Cale. I agree with what you said. Clearly,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Kale has been our out of the players that you mentioned,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you know with Freger, I even he's.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: The only he's the only one with the green arrow
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: up right now.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's got he's been defending well offensively. We're
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: getting a lot out of him, which that was his
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: big question mark. I guess when he started to play
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: like Inkal do anything on offense and teams are leaving
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: him open. And you know, he's made some shots, two
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: big ones at home against the Hiowa and overtime, like
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: that was the Kal Jacobson game. He's finishing around the
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: rim pretty well and he's yeah, you're right, the green
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: arrows up for kal Uh. I agree. I think he
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: he I want him. I do think he needs to
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: play and he needs to have a good game. But
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: I I we've been so limited. If we can't get
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: anything out of Frager and can't get me Garcia will
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: get to we can't get anything out, Like, we're so
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: limited what we have on the offensive end with that five.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: So like, yeah, I want Cale to play a lot
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: because he's been playing well but ideal and we don't
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: want to have to play him and Sam both because
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: they can just defend and lock down guards. Now a
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: strategy is I do think those two can hound the
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: crap out of those guards, and even with our switching defense,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: they get put on Dowd or Valdez to you know,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: six eighty six nine, And I do think being underneath
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: them and being scrappy is going to cause them kind
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: of it's going to cause them fits. So I do
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: think that defensively it will give us a big advantage
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: having them in, just like it has all year. I'm
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: just hoping that we can see more from other guys,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: so it does maybe have to happen that way.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna say Kale's offense has become unlocked.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: You know, he's had two goose eggs in the last
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: five games. But the Iowa and UCLA games were both good.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: But Ucla we got killed. So it's like, well, iowea,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: we needed him. He came it hot at the end.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree, offensively, I don't the way our
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: offense has been playing the last couple of weeks. We
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: need a better flow offensively, and I don't think that's
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: with him.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Then jump into Freger because I mentioned him as kind
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: of our other guy here, six man off the bench.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: He did win Big ten six Man of the Year.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Frek's been overall on the year, probably our third best score.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, realistically speaking, it has not been good recently,
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: and he's been the one that I don't think anybody
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: really has an answer for. You know, he is a freshman.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: He came out the gates nobody expecting to even see
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: him really play. I don't think anybody even thought about that,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: and now all of a sudden, he's averaging eleven ten,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: eleven twelve a game, you know, shooting it well, driving,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: finishing at the rim. I think Fred's even said needing
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: the you know, the the hype guy, that that man
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: kind of back. Unfortunately. I think what's happened he's kind
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: of lost all that. I'm not gonna say confidence, but
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: just the the energy that he was playing with early on,
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: and that was a big part of his game. Right
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: now it's not there now. Can you get that back? Absolutely?
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: And he still can shoot the ball. I don't think
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: there's a reason. I don't think he's he's but he
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: can't when he's in. What he cannot do is turn
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: it over, and he's done that the past few years. Defensively, obviously,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get more out of Kal, So like you
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: got to make up for that with what you're doing
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: on the offensive end and being that like third option
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: on the court, which he is when he's in with
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Mass and Price, Like he's that third option that you're
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: gonna get some open, open drives and open shots because
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: you're that number three option, you gotta take it. If
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: you're not taking advantage of that, then you can't play.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: So you're not giving as much on the other end.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: So that's my thoughts on Frager. I hope he's back,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: because he does. We are so much more on offense,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: but even defensively, it's not like we take a huge
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: step back. He's not case like. He's not like Kse
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: was absolute liability at times because of his size.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: He's not case right, but case So, Yeah, the difference
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: with Frager of the middle of the year was the
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: three ball is not the three ball's gone, right, and
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: he's what one for eight in the last three games
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: something crazy two right? No right, count eight two for
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: two for eleven in the last four games. Us he's
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: five for twenty in the last five games. So I
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: mean he's he's come a he's maybe returned to normal.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe he was just he had that one spart where
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: he was shooting, you know, three for seven that seemed
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: like every other game. And without the three ball, maybe
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: people are able to play him a little bit closer
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: than're not closing out, so he's not getting the driving
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: lanes that he was getting, and so now he's getting
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: not getting the easy layups at the at the bucket,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: and so he's not getting energized. But yeah, he definitely
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the injury he just felt like
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: he lost his step and he doesn't go confident. But
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: even I can't even say that because he's had good games.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had twenty one against Maryland and seventeen
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: against USC. It's just I feel like Iowa and Purdue
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: with the teams with those bigger, bigger bodies that you
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: could just put on him, and if the three's not falling,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: he gets frazzled, which is what you'd expect a freshman.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's probably what they're gonna do to him.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: They're gonna put one of their six to eight guys
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: on him and make him shoot the threes and if
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: they're not falling, he's gonna panic and start driving into
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: bad shots and turning it over.
• 44:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah that right, There's what Chip doesn't happen being a
• 44:34
  Speaker 12: freshman is that he doesn't start painicking loses the game,
• 44:38
  Speaker 12: which he he could, but I just don't think we'll
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: play him long enough to like he's kind of one too.
• 44:43
  Speaker 12: If it starts going out for him, I don't think
• 44:45
  Speaker 12: he can get much playing time.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Like I agree, I think that's where what's happened in
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Kale's played more like that's just what we've done that, right, he.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Was playing like thirty minutes a game and now he's
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: down to twenty.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, So Austin, where do you want to go next?
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: I want to start JaMarcus as JaMarcus. Also again we
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: all all out again, the arrows down. I feel like
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: they're all a little bit lost. JaMarcus almost lost us
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: the Iowa game because he bricks two free throws with
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: a second left in the game or whatever it was.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: But he also no offense from JaMarcus, which we were getting.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: We were getting offense, you know, we were getting ten points,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: ten or more points during our twenty game win streak.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Even with Michigan and Illinois losses, he still did pretty well.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Again, he shot twenty eight twelve percent
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: sixteen fourteen percent, like just horrible shooting. And so now
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think everyone's all messed up because
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: you can't leave JaMarcus out there because he's not giving
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: you any offense and his defense isn't that great. So
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, well, let's just put Kalin there because at
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: least he has really good defense and his offense is
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: playing abo as well as JaMarcus. But then when you
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: need the offense, you bring JaMarcus in, but then he's
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: cold because he's been sitting on the bench. I mean pulled.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: We pulled JaMarcus at the end of the Iowa game, yep,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: because it's just he didn't play like at all in overtime.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Because it's like this dude is he's got nothing right now,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: he's bricking everything. I don't know. I don't know what
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: to do with JaMarcus, but it's hard.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: I don't It's not a good answer for him. I
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: don't know. If you guys saw the video of us
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: walking back in the tunnel after the Purdue loss, he
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: was you know, he's JaMarcus is I was. I mean
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: him and Sam and Rank. You know, he's a senior
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: like and he's a point guard, and I think he
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: he wants to be that leader. But his play hasn't
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: really really done it. Uh. You know, I think a
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: lot of it is shooting, Like you said, the one
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: thing with JaMarcus, and outside of Price, he's kind of
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: our midrid range game guy too. You know, when teams
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: are giving that up off a ball stream coverage, right,
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: He's been able to knock some of those shots down
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: earlier in the year, and he's not even getting those
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: to fall anymore. It's hard. He's he's a tough cookie
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: to figure out.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: He really is.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: It is. It's it's interesting where we're at in the rotations,
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: like sense the white bread's getting paid the big bucks.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: But that that video of that tunnel and all that,
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: it gave me a little bit of like it didn't
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: make me feel good watching that. I guess it just
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: didn't feel great. Now it looks like we went in.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: We were having a lot of hooping and hollering and
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: fun at practice the next day and JaMarcus was shooting
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: on the gun when they got back from it from Chicago.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: So you know that, and that's good. I Yeah, it's
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: just a hard one to figure out.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: If you exclude perdue. He shot four for four, four eight,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: four for eleven on free throws then the year, Like,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: you can't do that if you're no more.
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely nothing is falling for him. Free throws, layups, threes,
• 47:45
  Speaker 12: nothing's pond for him.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Help four games where he did not hit a single
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: free throw.
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's in him. You need him driving and creating
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: on the offense too. So it's he's just a complete master.
• 48:00
  Speaker 12: Now hopefully he can pull his head out of his ass,
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: and we just get that. We get like the Illinois.
• 48:07
  Speaker 12: That time you hear JaMarcus back.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: When our offense was working, was when JaMarcus was at
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: least again you know obviously when we were hit or shot,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: their offense was working actually a little bit confident behind
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: three and JaMarcus could hit. I don't know, it just
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: opened up the floor and we haven't had the floor
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: open for the inside game.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: Which then it's one of those things that if you're
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: gonna take away price and you're gonna take away you know,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: from the rank stuff, when you make the extra extra pass,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: guess who it ends up with a lot of times
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: it's JaMarcus in the corner, right, So yeah, I mean
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: you got to take advantage of that if that's if
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: that's what the defense is going to give you. Okay,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I mean that's frigger and whoever that person is that
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: needs to be the guy that steps up and is
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: able to make that shot.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: But he hasn't over thirty shots since you know, almost
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: a month ago. Like it's that's as field Upson hasn't
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: even touched their percent since almost a month ago. Like
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: that's so bad.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, you want to touch on Garcia here.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone's no one likes it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think. Here's the thing.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: I don't mind him, I really don't.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. He's our eighth man, right, Like his
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: job is not to come in and do a whole lot.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's why people get frustrated with him, because
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: he tries to do too much. And I agree, we
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: can get to the point that that happens. Now. There's
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: an old line that says, there's a reason why you're open,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: like I do. Think he's the fifth option clear on
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: the court every time, so there is a reason why
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: he's getting open shots. Like, I don't think that's wrong.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I feel this, but I feel
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: like every time he goes in he's making one of
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: his first two is because I think he is. But
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: after that, then get him out of the game before
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: he tries to do too much. But in the past
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: few games, I felt like he actually comes in and
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: they're like, all right, we're gonna let this guy shoot
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: and he buries one. Everybody goes nuts because he's our
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: eighth man and shouldn't be scoring. And then he makes
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: a shot. But then we leave him in and he
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: tries to drive it and turn it over or gets
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: an offensive rebound and goes to the other team like
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: he's in too long. So that's my thought on guard.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he played so much against Perdue.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: I you know, he for most of the season, he's
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: been between that five and ten minute mark, which is fine,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: But he played thirteen minutes against Purdue. I don't I
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: didn't get it if it was just the size thing.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree that. Being said, he still has
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: a better shooting percentage than JaMarcus Lawrence has had over
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: the last five games. So here's that, as you will.
• 50:39
  Speaker 12: Here's the thing thing, whatever confidence Fragery and Lawrence lost,
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: he has gained.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know where he gets confidence from.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: It's like space.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: He touched the basketball, and I don't think he's ever
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: lacked confidence.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: I'll just say that, I don't think he at all.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I think he's always had that. And actually the Illinois
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: game he went up and scored all.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Let's not oh yeah, JaMarcus was good during the Illinois game.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Let's not shared.
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: The main thing to him is let's not leave me
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: in long enough to where, you know, oh, for six,
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: because he will keep firing like there's no stopping that guy.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: We're shooting.
• 51:16
  Speaker 12: I actually, I don't think he's a bath through point shooting.
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: Now if he put he puts on the ground, which
• 51:20
  Speaker 12: he showed against Purdue horrible. I don't I don't get
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: what happened in the Illinois game. He was a playmaker.
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: I don't know what they'll happen there. But if that
• 51:28
  Speaker 12: guy gets, like you said, two shots him, take him
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: out because he's gonna start trying and do some crazy
• 51:33
  Speaker 12: stuff and we don't need that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's move on only if you guys, let's
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: go to bark. Save in our best players hereper last.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: But I think here's I always feel like he's our
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I wanna call him a goofy player, but you kind
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: of play spirit free. He can have some moments where
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: everybody gets fired up and goes nuts on. That's what
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: we need. A couple of moments from k It might
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: be a dump down dunk, it might it might be
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: a time where he gets a little on him and
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: because he's done it in the past, where he'll just
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: go and score one on one because he can, because
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: he's physically strong enough to do that. I don't want
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: to see a barri K three attempted.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: Neal right there.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: I think he needs to be a big time rebounder
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: of this game, most importantly when he's in uh, and
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: I think he can do a good job of that.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: I think our system hides him on defense, which is
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: which is good. I don't think he moves his feet great,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: but I think he has a good job at the rim,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: So I think his job is going to be a
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: lot of times guarding and boxing out that number ten
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: for them, that post player, and doing a lot of that.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: So uh again, I think we need a moment or
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: two from him though, to really fire us up. And
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: I think he can do that because he's that type
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: of player.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: You think we don't use it properly, you know, ever
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: since he had that triple double, we haven't really been
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: using his game. It's kidding. Yeah, I would like to
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: see more than three rebounds from him, that's for sure.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: But I think he's good defensively, and I do think
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: he's smart when he takes his shots. He takes the
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: one dumb three pointer every game, but outside of that,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: he's not forcing anything, which maybe sometimes I kind of
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: wanted to force it a little bit more to try
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: to draw contact, but he's probably gonna miss his free throws.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he shoots. So he for a for a
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: six foot ten guy, he shoots no free throws because
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: he does not try to score. It's crazy. I don't
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: know if you guys have noticed that. It was like,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: just put your arms up and someone's gonna slap you
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: at some.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Point our game.
• 53:45
  Speaker 12: You listening to this, for love of God, just rebound.
• 53:48
  Speaker 12: We don't need anything. I don't want to see you
• 53:50
  Speaker 12: shoot the ball once and if you do, we know
• 53:53
  Speaker 12: that's not going. It's any in the back roun You
• 53:55
  Speaker 12: break harder anyone out there so quick shooting the ball.
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: Rebound and get those easy layups they've been get in
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: the last couple of games. Do not shoot the ball,
• 54:04
  Speaker 12: and he's another one. If he shoots two threes, you
• 54:06
  Speaker 12: gotta pull him.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: He's gone.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: I feel like we're maybe I mean late shot clock
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: again is one thing, like if he shoots, yeah, like
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: inside eight seconds, seven seconds, like you have to shoot
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: those right, But yeah, nothing early.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Please. He's had twelve games where he shot zero free throws.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: That is a like that is insane that a six
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: foot ten post player has twelve of his thirty games
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: have no.
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: I feel like he hasn't had like a super domb
• 54:36
  Speaker 12: three in a while where I'm like, oh my god,
• 54:38
  Speaker 12: and he shot like I feel like he's.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Gone down on that.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: He's only shot five threes since the first pretty loss.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: So I mean, which is five too many.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: But the last eight games he's shot five threes. That's
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: not anything crazy.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: No, Okay, Dak, what do you who you want next?
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: Let's go price.
• 55:05
  Speaker 10: This guy.
• 55:06
  Speaker 12: I know he's our best player, but man, does he
• 55:09
  Speaker 12: just get thrown around like a rag doll down low
• 55:11
  Speaker 12: over on rebounds. He is, I'm just gonna say, a
• 55:14
  Speaker 12: horrible rebounder. Like I I just can't stand him watching
• 55:20
  Speaker 12: him download. He could just eat big guys, just throw
• 55:22
  Speaker 12: him around down there, and I if he can grab
• 55:26
  Speaker 12: let's say four to six rebounds this game, that's perfect
• 55:30
  Speaker 12: for him. Obviously he's getting knock down and shots. You
• 55:31
  Speaker 12: hope he's shown all years, so why wouldn't he? But
• 55:36
  Speaker 12: but I just think his rebounding kills us sometimes that's funny.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: I disagree. I think he's really fall on as a rebounder.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Would you like to guess who he everages five rebounds
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: a game, like you know, he had four against Purdues seven, five, six,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: eight nine.
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's coming around. He does get pushed around,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: don't get me your own, but.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's island cluff he got. He got
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: just ragdalled.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the first time he gets how we got ragged all.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: The second time he got seven rebounds. Part of that,
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Part of that was I just think who's on him
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: and where he's at in the post. Again, I don't
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: think he's someone you went down there banging around for rebounds,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: but I think his long arms have helped them. I
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: think he's kind of figuring it out.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, must be real prices who he ask man.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: He's got some lengths, sneaky length and that helps him
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: on the defensive end for a lot of reasons. And
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: what we need him to do is be able to
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: be open and make shots right. And I think games
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: that our offense struggles is when teams are able to
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: not let him get a shot up. And a lot
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: of our actions, if you watch all our stuff that
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: we you know we have quite a few are designed
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: for him coming off stuff or be around the ball
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: to either get a shot or set somebody else up
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: for a shot. If teams can take that away, that's
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: when we get very stagnant and we don't really have
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: We don't have a Bryce Williams from last year where
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: we can bail us out like shot clock and hit
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: a tough shot. We don't have that, So like we
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: need to be able to get him open. I think
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: we will. Like I think that's what makes me feel
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: good about offense, especially they try to go to that
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: matchup z own, but even our I don't just watching them,
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure who they're going to stick with Price
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: for the entire forty minutes. And if we can get
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: him loose a couple early, even if it's off of
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: oh boards, that open stuff up for the rest of
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: our offense, it really does. And then we'll talk about rank.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: I think the same applies to him early on getting
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: him a look and making it. But I think that's
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: a big thing. That's two prices. That's what he does
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: when he is able to get stuff, and a lot
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: of that's not him making shots because he's he makes
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: him when he gets him open. It's just him getting
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: shots in general, which goes back to scheming and coaching.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I will agree. Yeah, Defensively, he's he's
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: on the court because he can shoot the three. Like,
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: I don't want to make Price this he's gotta be.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: He is the best player on our team.
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't have to do everything. And yeah, he's
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: fourth in rebounding, but he's averaging five rebounds a game.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: But he's also putting up seventeen points and you know,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: three assists. Like I am not, I'm not really that
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: critical of Price. I think he's doing everything how I
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: would expect him to do it.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: I'll be he's a very limited player, right, he's he's like,
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: he's not a he's not a three level scorer. Right.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: He can he can, he can't. He can do some
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: of those things.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: He can cut and hit threes on offense, and his
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: ability to do those things creates offense for others. And similarly,
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: on defense, he's long and that's about you know, that's
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: where his skill set is is he can disrupt it
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: with his length, but he's not gonna be able to
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: physically body people and he's not gonna snag rebounds, but
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: he's gonna position himself.
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: Yes, you know, you know, boys, I messed up. Why
• 59:25
  Speaker 12: I turn this into a negative Price talk, I don't know.
• 59:28
  Speaker 12: You are the reason we're here.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: He came out with a strong dancer. Let me disagree
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: with you on that. I think I think he's doing okay,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: But I do agree the focus needs to be on
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: getting Price open because that's the key to our offense,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: because the space that our threes create.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: All right, Rank, I think my story is similar for him.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: We need we need to rank to knock down a
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: shot early. I think all of our games are our
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: offense is really clicking. It's because teams are worried about
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: him getting even if it's a contested shot, but him
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: making an outside shot from the top of the key
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: like that. That is where one of our strengths are.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Is when you can pull that big out whoever's guarding
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: him and open up that lane. It allows us then
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: to get to the rim. And then then you got
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: to pick and choose what you're defending. So I think
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: that's a big piece. I also think it's a big
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: if Rank can score down low yeah, against whoever they
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: decide to put up on. You know, I'm guessing it's
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: gonna be bellowing number ten. But you know if that
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: thirty three, I don't know what it is. And if
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: they do have that, are they going to decide to double? Okay,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: if they don't decide to double, then Rank's got to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: score one on one. If they do double, that's going
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: to create open looks for other people. And if we
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: can go extra extra and find price even for an
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: open three, like our offense will be that way too.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: And we've done that at times this year. It's not
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: like it's not like we people say, well, we don't
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: ranked in the poet. If we have the matchup, Fred
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: identifies that and we'll go into him. There's been games
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: that we just don't because Rank's not like this huge
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: physical force. He's not, but he can be given the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: right matchup. I think this could be one of those
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: games that he could physically impose himself inside with his
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: size and then see what happens, what opens up the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: rest of the game.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Hunter turned into a little bit of a newspaper boy
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: there from the twenties. Extra extra, We gotta get an
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: extra extra. You probably didn't have noticed you said it,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: but you did. No, I don't disagree. I think the
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: down low is the important. Obviously, hitting the threes. Again,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: we're talking about that spacing. But if you had to
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: guess how many shots ranked shot out within the three
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: point arc against Purdue on Frank one, he had one
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: shot and he's six foot ten.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what do we do?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: I get it produce big, but come on, we gotta
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: there's to be something down there. That's kind of.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: I I agree that three point shots important, idiot, but
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: I want to see some of those low post move
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: that I saw that just kind of helps him get
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: in rhythm. Keeping those percentages, you know, the shooting percentage up,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: giving lower less opportunities for rebounds with those higher percentage
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: of close shots.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: The joke is there's like, you know, memes of Frank
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Mass missing layups because he does do it a fair amount.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: But I mean him and Ray or him and Price
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: or they're their offensive cogs. Like that's that is our offense.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just go for a deck.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 12: No, no, you got I just feel like he's and
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: this probably has to do the other guy struggling now
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 12: to he's playmaking in passing. He's a hell of a passer,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: and I just don't know where that's gone, what's happened?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 12: It feels like since Fragger and him he was sick
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 12: and I can't passing.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I don't think you're passing goes away.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: It's not like he's I think that's it. That's a
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: that's teams are stopped, are defending us better and taking
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: away our scheme. I don't think. I don't think you
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: just all of a sudden become a shitty pastor. I
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: don't think like that's not something that comes and goes.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously if you're forcing stuff, but he's not
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: forcing stuff.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: No, I think he needs to force more.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 12: Like I'd be totally fine with him driving in and
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: shooting fifteen shots in the paint this game, Like, just
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 12: do it.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about his passing, not shooting.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: Oh you're talking anyway. Just be more physical download rank
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: that that's.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: That's all you say.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: You just yeah, the pying, Okay, be more physical.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: Rank all Sammy boy.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: Uh Man.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: What a year it's been for him. I think maybe
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: out of anybody, he's had the most consistent year, and
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: because consistently above expectations on what he's been able to
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: do and accomplish on both ends of the floor, especially
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: his defense and some of the plays that he makes
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: on that end. You know, he's led us in rebounding.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think he is currently, but he's he's one
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: of our top four rebounders. He's had some games where
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: he's really went off scoring the ball. He's shooting it
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: very very well. I think, you know, I saw at
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: one point did someone say he was shooting it like
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: a we're fifty percent at some like over some span.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Like he is really asight now for the year for shooting.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: He is fifty five percent for field goal for three
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: throw So but yeah, there, I mean, there you go.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: I just think that he talk about a blue guy.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: You know that that metric's been out there and graphics everywhere.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: Obviously being a coaches kid as well, and really came
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: along as a player here where I don't think many
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: people thought he would be able to. I think this
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: is Sam's chance to go out and have a moment,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: and you know, I think it'll be really cool if
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: we can get a win here. And you know, Sam
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: has a couple of those Sam moments that we all
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: know of, the steels and the breakaways and the scrappy hustle,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: dive on the floor, loose ball, time out, extra possession,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: all of those things that he does for us, like
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: that that is that's going to be what really gets
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: this crowd just absolutely out of their seats.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Is he everybody's favorite player?
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I mean yeah, not liked the guy right, Like,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: there's nothing that you can he doesn't.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: He doesn't take dumb shots, Nope. He's smart defensively, he
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't make dumb turnovers. He had a real rough game
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: against Iowa, but he ended up closing it out over time.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: It Yeah, I mean, there's nothing outside of his free
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: throw shooting that you wish was a little bit better,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: which is surprising as a coach's son that you're shooting
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: five percent for free throws. But he's just he's not
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: gonna be a liability. I'm not worried about him, right.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 12: He's the perfect play you want, and he's won and
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: done games because he's going to make the winning play
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 12: at the end.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: That's that's why, Sean.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 12: And how many times are you going to have the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 12: breakaway steel PI two or three times a game? You
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 12: know that's coming, hope.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: Last thing I'll say here as we finish out our preview,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: I I think rebounding is probably one of the most
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: important things. Dax brought it up several times too. I
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: do think that's a very big factor here. I think
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: if we win the rebounding battle, we have a good
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: chance at winning the game. I do think it's very
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: important that we get off to a strong start.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think we need to panic, and I hope
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: we don't panic if we don't, But if we can
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: get out to a strong eight to ten point lead,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: and you know, in the first ten minutes of the game,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: I do think we are going to play a lot looser,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: and we're going to ride the momentum of the crowd,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be a very fun game. Which
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: I should put an asterisk next to that, because that's
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: exactly what happened against A and M a couple of
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: years ago. And then we just hit a brick wall
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: and things went south quickly.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: I mean Texas A and M. Scorcher.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just put it this way. They're you know,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: I kind of do the same little watching them play
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: before we played them and got a scout. They were
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: doing things that they have not shown to do all year. Now, maybe.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Say, when you have a player like he's only hit
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: three three pointers his entire career, and he goes four
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: for five for his.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: First Yeah, they were like bottom ten shooting.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that with caution, but I do think that
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: if we can get out to a hot start, especially
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: the crowd Memphis was very, very pro Nebraska crowd. I
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: mean the streets were ninety five percent Nebraska fans in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, okay See is going to just be watched.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: Oh you know, it's gonna it's gonna be a very
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: fun atmosphere. And even though it's the eleven forty game,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: it's going to be filled with Husker fans. And if
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: we can get off to a hot star the first
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: ten minutes of the game, I think that's very important
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: for the outcome. Now, if we don't, I don't think
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: we need to think, oh, we can't win this. I
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: just think we could be in a dogfight and it
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: could be a you know, a couple of one or
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: two possession game come down the wire. Like I said,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: I think Troy has the pieces and they do enough
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: good things that they can hang right with this. I
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: think we have the better players, but you don't want
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: to leave it up to shooting. You don't want to say, well,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: we had a bad shooting night and they shot it. Well,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: you don't ever want to leave it up to that,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: and I don't think it will, but they just do
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: enough things that makes you, yeah, you just get a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: little worrisome on how the game could go. So I'm
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: picking us to win. I actually think if I had to,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: I actually think we'll probably cover. I do think we
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: again have the better players. But you just you just
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: that pressure factor and just how we've kind of finished
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: the year out gives it gives you a little bit
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: of caution.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't march madness. You don't want to say, yeah,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: I probably agree. I always said taking us to win,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: but I also think we'll probably cover. I just I
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: here's how I expect the game to go. I think
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: the first half, we're gonna be up by three at
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: the end of the first half, and then we're gonna
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: come out of the second half and by the end
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: of it, we're gonna pull away win by like seventeen.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will say the team echo Austin, what
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: you kind of said to is to add to my thought.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: I do think teams that we don't match up well
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: with are your like just physical attacking downhill? I mean
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: what A and M was I for what plays that way?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: They're just they they just are. Now I always got
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of white guys too, but just physical as heck.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Do you know they just drive it at you. I
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: also don't think we do well with as well when
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: they have a stud like when the teams have a
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: really really good player, because we're more schematic based, so
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: it's that person can get lost and get open. I
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: do think stylistically, this team that we play in physical
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: physically is a good matchup for us defensively and offensively.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: I just think we're they're us, but they're not as
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: good as us.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: Right there, their guards are said, their guards are a
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: little bit undersized, which helps with our undersized guards as well.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 12: So, yeah, I have Nebraska playing seventy sixty sixty one.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 12: I think Nebraska comes out hot this game.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: Mark it down.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: They're gonna be up twenty to five at the undertained
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 12: time out. But wow, yeah, I think I think come
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 12: out with the crowd and the energy and yeah, to
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 12: shoot the lights out of that.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: I think under a marathon, if I nailed on.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: The head, no, I I think we'll lock those two
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: red heads up.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's what I feel better that one of
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: their their core players is six foot one.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Daks. I think Dak's here was buddy Dak.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: I think it really hung up on these two redheads.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: They're their fourth and fifth options in the court. You
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: gotta remember they're not their best players.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: Right, So yeah, I'm just getting flashbacks. Ain't mto them
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: shooting the lights out and I can see these no
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: But I do think they are good shooters. Don't get
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: me wrong, but I do think there's other focuses on
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: the court that we have to be worried about. It's
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: not just locking those two up because other guys are
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: gonna get a lot of shots. So like that their
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: best players are not those two players. They're part of it,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: but that they're not. That's not their best two. So
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: just keep that in mind.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: We don't have to worry about the other big dudes.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: We got bur K.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: It's not really the big dude. It's a stretch forward's.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: Guards.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: So okay, Well, Austin will see down o K see Dak.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: We will not.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: I'll be sure to tune in the the women's bubble
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: game levin seed?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: Is that tomorrow? Is that Wednesday?
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Wednesday?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: I might be tuned into that. Yeah, probably will because
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: there'll be nothing.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: I figured you'd go to Durham.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 12: I can watched the women's game even know where they played.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 12: I thought maybe the city have no idea where that
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 12: game was.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: I thought maybe they. I thought maybe the women hosted.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 1:12:38
