• 2:02
  things over to off the bench with Lucas Strain and Ben
• 2:06
  Hutchins. So did you call the DCG game
• 2:10
  last night? I don't think you did.
• 2:11
  No, just do fight. That's what I thought.
• 2:13
  What a finish. Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:15
  What an incredible. You knew you wouldn't believe.
• 2:17
  What if you didn't see it? Reggie Miller, like, Oh my gosh.
• 2:21
  Unbelievable. And apparently I saw Mark
• 2:23
  Hanrahan tweet or earlier this morning, Norway had no timeouts.
• 2:28
  Oh, really? Yeah, they were, they run, they
• 2:30
  had an injury problem. They were down to 5 girls and
• 2:32
  had to use the timeouts to give them a breather.
• 2:35
  And at the very end, apparently they were out of timeouts, so
• 2:38
  they couldn't do anything about it.
• 2:40
  And just a, I mean, it's everywhere.
• 2:42
  This, this thing went viral. Good for them, good for the
• 2:44
  tournament. Unfortunate for Norwalk, but DCG
• 2:47
  will never forget that one. And if you were in the building
• 2:49
  last night, you probably won't forget it either.
• 2:51
  Speaking of being in the building, I wasn't in the
• 2:53
  building, but I was watching the building on TV.
• 2:55
  It's been a long time since I've watched a Hawkeye men's
• 3:00
  basketball game where I thought, wow, this is really an electric
• 3:03
  atmosphere. It really seemed to be like for
• 3:06
  one night, I get it, Senior night.
• 3:08
  It's a a team that has an absolute chance to cut down the
• 3:12
  Nets, A terrific opponent in Michigan, farewell to Ben
• 3:15
  Sturtz, all of those things. But Carver was really good last
• 3:19
  night. Absolutely.
• 3:20
  It was a great environment and when you have Dusty may bring it
• 3:23
  up in the post game unprompted, I think that's that's a lot too.
• 3:26
  That's a great point. Yes, Dusty May is not one that
• 3:29
  throws out things like that often that I see.
• 3:31
  To hear that from an opposing coach without the leading
• 3:34
  question, what you think of the students saying, you know, what
• 3:37
  are those kind of things? Yeah, I think that said a lot
• 3:39
  about the environment and people buying into this Iowa basketball
• 3:42
  program. And, you know, listening last
• 3:44
  night to McCullum afterwards, he was down.
• 3:46
  You can definitely tell he was dejected and he doesn't like
• 3:49
  losing, which most coaches don't.
• 3:51
  But you know that he is wired in a way that it definitely bothers
• 3:54
  him. But talking about the comeback,
• 3:56
  coming back from down 10 against that team, doing those kind of
• 4:00
  things and and you know that he said it's year one and he said
• 4:04
  it might be in a couple weeks, weeks, it might be in a year,
• 4:06
  might be two, but they're working to build something
• 4:08
  special there. He really do believe it.
• 4:10
  I do we forget at times this is year one.
• 4:13
  This is a pretty major rebuild that is in front of them.
• 4:17
  And as I said, going all the way back to October when we first
• 4:20
  started talking about this team, I never wanted to put a ceiling
• 4:23
  on them. I never want to say, well,
• 4:25
  making the tournaments good enough because when you have a
• 4:27
  preseason All American point guard, I think that changes the
• 4:30
  equation. Yeah, he's the Most Valuable
• 4:31
  Player in the league. I don't care what anybody.
• 4:32
  Says yes when you're talking about actual value, right?
• 4:35
  There's not a doubt this team is Maryland without him.
• 4:39
  Yes, that that's what you're talking about.
• 4:40
  They're playing in the opening round of the Big 10 tournament.
• 4:43
  If Bennett Sturtz isn't a part of this team.
• 4:45
  Did you think the shot was going to fall at the end?
• 4:47
  I did too. I did.
• 4:48
  I did too. I thought it's going to be one
• 4:50
  of these endings and this this thing has to go in and man, it
• 4:53
  looked for a while like it was going to but sadly iron and that
• 4:57
  was it and just a terrific basketball game trend because
• 5:00
  Michigan is really good. They're a really good basketball
• 5:03
  team. They've got it's not a great
• 5:05
  matchup when you've got a 7 two or how tall is 7373 Mars 73.
• 5:10
  So I was short changing. That's a really good team.
• 5:14
  Lindenborg is a phenomenal player.
• 5:16
  He's awesome. He really is.
• 5:17
  I don't know why they don't go through a more.
• 5:19
  They should. Yeah, they should.
• 5:22
  But. How was that guy UAB last year?
• 5:24
  Really. We look around college
• 5:27
  basketball at the transfer portal and there was the
• 5:29
  Speaking of going viral, The tweet that went viral earlier
• 5:32
  this week? Only 22 players total in the
• 5:35
  power conference structure will complete their Senior Day
• 5:38
  activities after being four years at one institution.
• 5:41
  That's incredible, 22 players. Jesus.
• 5:44
  That's unthinkable. No, but this is the environment
• 5:48
  that we live in. And you look at Landenberg and
• 5:50
  you see what he did and and what he did even just it's an odd
• 5:55
  circumstance that a guy like this now he's old, right?
• 5:57
  He's 24. He's an older guy or going to be
• 5:59
  24 before next basketball season to see that guy and think what
• 6:03
  was he at UAB and and why was he wasn't UAB a lot better last
• 6:08
  year? That that's probably a piece of
• 6:09
  it too. So just that Michigan team's
• 6:11
  excellent. I mean, we start right there.
• 6:13
  That is an excellent team. Now they're Walmart fans.
• 6:16
  Annoy the crap out of me that that is the team, the program
• 6:19
  that annoys. Me.
• 6:19
  What do you mean the Walmart? Fan that have never stepped foot
• 6:22
  in the state of Michigan. OK, I in college athletics that
• 6:25
  bothers me so much. We don't see with Ohio State and
• 6:30
  you don't see it with programs like that.
• 6:32
  You see it with Michigan though, that have no connection to the
• 6:34
  program, didn't even have. Was it the Fab Five that maybe?
• 6:37
  Got that was a big part of it. And it's this is a big thing in
• 6:39
  my era because a lot of people jumped on the B and wagon.
• 6:42
  The shorts at that point, Yes. Yeah, The baggy shorts and
• 6:45
  everything that went along with it, the black socks and the
• 6:47
  black shoes, they were cool. I get it.
• 6:49
  That's not how you pick your college team.
• 6:51
  I don't care if you're a little kid.
• 6:52
  Grow up. You got plenty of options in
• 6:54
  your state. Maybe you got family connection
• 6:57
  somewhere else, but that in college athletics just bothers
• 6:59
  me. That aside, well, Michigan,
• 7:02
  they're great. That team, would you pick them
• 7:04
  to win the national title right now?
• 7:05
  I it's Duke or Michigan. You're not even putting Arizona
• 7:10
  in the. No, I'm not.
• 7:11
  I think there's a group. I think there's a little bit of
• 7:13
  a gap and I love Arizona, but I think right now I think I would
• 7:16
  take Duke by half an inch and then Michigan by a couple of
• 7:20
  inches and then Arizona. Throw a blanket.
• 7:22
  Over him. And Iowa was right there.
• 7:24
  They were right there. Trent and and this is a team
• 7:26
  that was embarrassed on Saturday in Happy Valley.
• 7:29
  And if they played like they let did last night, oh God, Penn
• 7:32
  State, they kill him. They went by double figure, they
• 7:34
  kill him. They beat Maryland by 50.
• 7:35
  But it's sports. It's it's sports.
• 7:37
  You can't bring it, not that intensity.
• 7:39
  You just, it's the reality. And we can sit here and whine
• 7:42
  and complain, but. Then that's just when Howard
• 7:44
  dunked that basketball, cutting from the the corner to tie the
• 7:48
  game. I think at 43 or 41, he's either
• 7:50
  43. He's in the low 40s.
• 7:51
  I thought, you know what, I'm going to look back at this.
• 7:53
  This might have been the the turning point in the victory for
• 7:56
  Iowa. And there was a back and forth
• 7:58
  and that was a hell of a game. And, and if you were in Carver
• 8:01
  last night, that's what Carver Rock I used to look like and
• 8:05
  sound like. And, and I hope it does again.
• 8:09
  And if McCollum has his way, I'm certain that it will.
• 8:12
  But boy, boy, he's got, I mean, he's got to find obviously, and
• 8:15
  it's not going to be easy. Good luck finding Bennett
• 8:18
  starts. Yeah, that replacement out
• 8:19
  there. Press.
• 8:20
  Good God, he is unbelievable. So now you have Iowa with yet
• 8:23
  another loss, facing another loss on paper on Sunday.
• 8:28
  Yeah, there'll be a, what, 77 point?
• 8:30
  Six to seven, yeah, that's the range.
• 8:32
  Torvic I think has it closer to 7-6 at over at at Ken Palm.
• 8:37
  So that's the projections is it is just as simple as don't lose
• 8:41
  that first game you're locked in as the nine seed.
• 8:43
  Yeah, don't lose to Maryland or Oregon, but that's easier set
• 8:46
  than Ted too, especially Oregon with Biddle.
• 8:49
  With Biddle out there, they are a different team.
• 8:52
  And Speaking of bad matchups, that is a true big center.
• 8:55
  Though Iowa did OK with it last night.
• 8:57
  He still saw Johnson. He was a difference maker and
• 9:00
  and Mara that bank shot. Yeah, they they travelled.
• 9:05
  Yes, yes, he travelled. Yes, yes.
• 9:08
  But if that wasn't bad enough, off the glass and in.
• 9:12
  And not even from straight on. No, you know, he's off like 3
• 9:16
  feet to the left. Yeah.
• 9:17
  It's an impossible angle to bank it from.
• 9:19
  And it banks it. Yeah.
• 9:20
  It went in and they go back and look.
• 9:21
  And you do. He got it.
• 9:22
  Off he did. You could tell I I didn't think
• 9:24
  there was. It was.
• 9:25
  It was closer than I originally thought.
• 9:27
  Same 'cause I thought I don't even look at.
• 9:29
  Yeah, what a waste of time, but it what it was closer on the
• 9:33
  final possession of the game obviously went back of our of
• 9:36
  Iowa. We went off Banks knee or or
• 9:40
  thigh and went out about down by two, down by two.
• 9:43
  I thought it kind of starts. Got discombobulated briefly
• 9:47
  before he passed the ball to Banks.
• 9:49
  So did you see that? I did.
• 9:51
  And afterwards McCollum said. They didn't get the switch they
• 9:54
  wanted. They were working to get.
• 9:55
  OK, 'cause you could tell something was off kilter.
• 9:58
  At least that's how I saw it and.
• 10:00
  I can't remember, and I didn't go back and look who was
• 10:02
  guarding him or what kind of switch they were looking for.
• 10:04
  But that's what McCollum said and that's probably what led to.
• 10:08
  And I don't think he could kill Banks.
• 10:09
  No, he was trying to make, I thought.
• 10:11
  Banks played a nice game. Absolutely, and he's going to
• 10:13
  the rim. You're starting, the clock's
• 10:16
  ticking down, right? You got to do something.
• 10:18
  So yes, of course in a perfect scenario you want Bennett starts
• 10:21
  doing it there. They didn't get what they wanted
• 10:24
  on the set. McComb also said he is not big
• 10:26
  and calling time outs in those situations.
• 10:28
  So a kind of people wonder about that.
• 10:29
  That's at least his coaching philosophy.
• 10:32
  Man, what a game last. Night.
• 10:32
  It was great. It really was.
• 10:34
  It was a really fun environment. Thank you for tipping me off
• 10:37
  that I didn't have to watch Peacock because it was on 619
• 10:41
  and I had no idea. So we talked about this, oh, I
• 10:44
  want to say maybe a month ago. There was.
• 10:45
  Yeah, we did. A a Peacock game.
• 10:47
  What I was looking that night, though, I was looking in the two
• 10:50
  hundreds. I wasn't looking in the six.
• 10:51
  100, they're like 2O102102112. Those are the ESPN plus our
• 10:57
  extra channels. Like 216 to 222, you know, I
• 11:00
  thought it'd probably be there because in the past there was
• 11:02
  something that was like an overflow that they put there and
• 11:05
  I can't remember what it was, but yeah.
• 11:06
  Yeah, back in because they were 220, right?
• 11:08
  They were on DIRECTV. BC Sports Network so you just go
• 11:12
  to 619 so why did. You get up.
• 11:14
  There what? What took you up there?
• 11:16
  I was watching SEC Network. Maybe I flipped over to it was
• 11:20
  something up there and I'm like, oh, that's pretty nice.
• 11:23
  Yeah, it was great. And and actually can flip then
• 11:25
  during the commercial and then we're gonna have to hit the
• 11:27
  input input button and and fire back up DIRECTV, you know, much
• 11:31
  simpler. So for the DIRECTV subscribers,
• 11:33
  we know not nearly as many as there once were on that front.
• 11:36
  That's true. We're a couple of are you?
• 11:37
  Giving it up yet? You.
• 11:39
  Yeah, you. You keep threatening to do it.
• 11:41
  We'll see what baseball season looks like.
• 11:43
  That's going to be the big differentiary here because in
• 11:45
  the past I didn't have to pay you the hundreds of dollars for
• 11:48
  MLBTVI got obviously the Twins with just a sports pack, which
• 11:53
  is 13 bucks a month with. Direct.
• 11:55
  It used to be 5, yeah. That's another one you can call
• 11:59
  in and usually get a discount on, but you get the Twins, the
• 12:02
  Royals, the Cardinals, Brewers, Brewers, White Sox, Cubs.
• 12:05
  Got all of them all right. I might miss a couple of
• 12:07
  national games, but overall felt good and with MLB Network on top
• 12:10
  of it, I was pretty well covered.
• 12:13
  Felt like there's always a late night game on MLB Network, so I
• 12:15
  was always good with that. If that's changed though,
• 12:18
  because I think we're also seeing it now with Arch Madness.
• 12:21
  Although I couldn't find it yesterday.
• 12:23
  It was not yesterday and I looked at the guide again this.
• 12:25
  Morning nowhere. I and I did too.
• 12:27
  You know where I think it was and the damn it, I thought about
• 12:30
  it last night. I never even thought to check
• 12:31
  there because I checked there after the the Iowa game to try
• 12:36
  and find the UNI game. It's on ESPN Plus.
• 12:38
  Yes, yeah, that's where I watched it on.
• 12:40
  But I was just hoping. I I didn't think to look for the
• 12:43
  Drake game there. I see.
• 12:46
  I I was hopeful though, that in the past, yes, Fox Sports
• 12:50
  Midwest into Bally's Midwest. He's going to have something.
• 12:53
  Marquis has had it recently too, to not.
• 12:55
  Have it there. I was shocked.
• 12:57
  Is that a miss by the Missouri Valley Conference?
• 13:00
  Who knows? Is that because of the changes
• 13:03
  with Bally's? Or was there a Cubs game?
• 13:06
  There wasn't a Cubs game at 8:30 last night for you at. 830
• 13:09
  you're right. And there won't be tonight.
• 13:11
  Nope. That was frustrating.
• 13:13
  That was another frustrating because we're just used to the
• 13:15
  last 25 years. This game is gonna be on, right?
• 13:17
  Are gonna be on real television. Listen to.
• 13:19
  Us, you know where I think it was or might have been.
• 13:23
  WHO that point, whatever it is, 13.2 or whatever, I think they
• 13:28
  might have had it. But you have what, an antenna in
• 13:31
  your office? That's the only place but.
• 13:32
  When DIRECTV is out and it's my emergency TV.
• 13:36
  No, I've watched an AFC championship, thankfully when it
• 13:39
  was snowing sideways and DTV was gone, forced into the office.
• 13:43
  Anyways, well done, Iowa State women.
• 13:46
  I am. Boy, I'm seeing a lot of family
• 13:48
  fatigue out there. I mean.
• 13:49
  You remember that game was it maybe six weeks ago is the
• 13:52
  beginning of the losing streak. And I, I told you there was just
• 13:55
  the Iowa State official Twitter account, Iowa State women's
• 13:58
  basketball. And I just happened to scroll
• 14:02
  past and clicked on it and I see the number of negative friendly
• 14:07
  replies that were on. I was absolutely gobsmacked by
• 14:12
  that because yes, I understand being frustration that's going
• 14:15
  to happen, but it was the volume of it.
• 14:17
  It wasn't a guy. It wasn't a couple of tweets.
• 14:19
  And it's built since. Then right clone fan 22873 with
• 14:24
  no Twitter profile. That's not what it was.
• 14:26
  It was people after, people after, and that was at the
• 14:29
  beginning of that losing streak that was sit after like Game 5
• 14:32
  you could have. Paid Arizona State by 26 like 3
• 14:35
  weeks ago. Arizona State by 26.
• 14:39
  Here's the here's my take on it. Trent Bill Fennelly has built
• 14:46
  this program from nothing. Addie Brown.
• 14:49
  Audie Crooks. I think there's one more on that
• 14:54
  roster that will be a senior next year.
• 14:56
  Here's what I think might happen, might happen, don't
• 15:00
  know, but I'm sure Fenley's not. I mean, Fenley's not just
• 15:04
  oblivious to this, right? He deserves to go out when he
• 15:07
  wants. But at the same time, that
• 15:09
  doesn't mean you get to stay forever.
• 15:11
  My in a perfect world, he comes out and says, you know what?
• 15:15
  Next year is my last year. I wouldn't Cyclone fans be OK?
• 15:19
  Look, the first game he coached was 672 people in the building.
• 15:23
  Look what that program is now. It's unbelievable.
• 15:28
  Yes, they they've been disappointing.
• 15:30
  Yes, the offense seems stagnant and stale in a lot of ways.
• 15:34
  And you know what? Other than get the ball to Audie
• 15:37
  Crooks and the guard, stand around on the paint and just
• 15:39
  wait for it to see what happens next.
• 15:41
  I I get it. But man oh man, where would this
• 15:44
  program be? Bill Finley needs to be the one
• 15:47
  that's endowed. That Iowa State, sorry, Jamie
• 15:49
  Pauler, he built, he built this sport into what it is.
• 15:54
  And for that I'm and I, I like old guys.
• 15:57
  Full disclosure, right? I am one.
• 16:00
  Shouldn't he get to say when he wants to leave and and and then
• 16:04
  the perfect world. He reads the writing on the
• 16:07
  wall. Next year's going to be my last
• 16:09
  year. I want to stay one more year and
• 16:12
  you know, watch Addie, Audie Crooks and Addie Browns this
• 16:16
  Jada Williams, the other one that will be at senior next
• 16:18
  year. She's a junior.
• 16:19
  So those are the big three that all get the would all go out
• 16:22
  next year. And that's going to be my last
• 16:26
  year and then I'm going to turn it over to whoever.
• 16:28
  I hope that's how it that's the perfect scenario to me.
• 16:32
  It's a perfect scenario. Now here's another part of it.
• 16:35
  Is it with a waiting coach? Because.
• 16:39
  It would be Fenley Junior. And that's where it gets, I
• 16:42
  think, incredible I. Agree with you.
• 16:43
  I don't think that that should be the path that they choose.
• 16:47
  Now, how many more years is the endowed athletic director
• 16:50
  staying? Do we know?
• 16:51
  No, no. I mean, there's been speculation
• 16:53
  for the last 15 years he would go to Wisconsin at one point and
• 16:56
  that job's been open a couple of different times and that hasn't
• 16:58
  happened. But yeah, how much longer is he
• 17:00
  going to be? That's another question.
• 17:02
  Certainly that's going to be out of there.
• 17:05
  It it becomes uncomfortable because of Billy.
• 17:08
  Right. Yeah.
• 17:08
  Who's been on staff forever? Yeah, the whole staff has been
• 17:11
  there. Forever.
• 17:11
  Yeah, yeah, Steyr's been there. Right.
• 17:13
  Forever. Decades now I've shaved like and
• 17:17
  this is staff that's been together a long time hearing
• 17:21
  from some Iowa State people and 1:00 this morning and they're
• 17:25
  frustrated and it's almost come off the ledge a little bit.
• 17:29
  Yes, you're frustrated after loss.
• 17:31
  Yes that I get that part of it. But you look through let's be
• 17:35
  honest, the Big 12 suck this year.
• 17:37
  Women's basketball, it was down a long ways from what it was and
• 17:42
  yes, you had injuries and Brown went down.
• 17:43
  I get that. But you have one solid top 25
• 17:48
  team in TCU, maybe 2 with West Virginia maybe, and he finished
• 17:53
  seventh. You're in the seventh seed and
• 17:55
  then you get bounced in the first round of the Big 12.
• 17:58
  This team is way too talented for that.
• 17:59
  I thought so too. We thought that this might be
• 18:01
  Finley and partly is on us maybe because we thought this team was
• 18:04
  going to be much better than they ended up being.
• 18:05
  Maybe that's next year, but I think Finley comes out sometime
• 18:09
  this summer and says, you know, this is going to be his last
• 18:13
  year. He along with Audie Crooks and
• 18:15
  Addie Brown and Jada Williams all at the end of that.
• 18:18
  And at the end of the year, they're all gone.
• 18:20
  If it's just that, if it's just that without and Billy's going
• 18:25
  to take over, I think Cyclone fans would be.
• 18:27
  Able to swallow that easy I, I, I I think that they would be OK
• 18:30
  with my scenario of of that's the way it plays out.
• 18:33
  But I wonder if you added the layer without Billy, how they?
• 18:38
  Would be Would they be better? I think so.
• 18:40
  Would they be more open? To that I don't know the answer.
• 18:43
  I don't either. I believe so.
• 18:44
  And I don't think it's a knock against Billy by any means.
• 18:46
  It's just you're looking for something fresh.
• 18:49
  You're looking for something. There's been a Fennelly at the
• 18:51
  helm for now. What is he 32 years into it?
• 18:54
  I think the 31 years, 31 years into it right now look, I, I
• 18:59
  don't think that their season is over by any means.
• 19:02
  I still believe that they're a playoff team.
• 19:03
  I read Tommy Birch enough to know that I think I think I
• 19:05
  could speak for Tommy that he feels kind of the same way that
• 19:09
  you know that this this team has not played their final game of
• 19:12
  the year. We shall see all right, a couple
• 19:14
  of calls Mike Palm is coming up. Look forward to catching up with
• 19:17
  Mike Palm, VP of operations at Circa sports.
• 19:19
  So one of the things from yesterday eight of the top 9
• 19:22
  cyclone players. Wow, there's there's 8 juniors
• 19:28
  on this roster. There's more than the big three.
• 19:30
  I did not know that. Thank you Jeff Oldorf.
• 19:32
  So it seems like this would be a good stepping off point for Bill
• 19:36
  Friendly. Yeah, Jacksons a junior.
• 19:38
  Alyssa Williams is a junior. Yeah, looking through the
• 19:40
  roster, Wow. And a couple of other players,
• 19:42
  it will play a whole lot. Yeah, very veteran team.
• 19:45
  Disappointing year it is. It is.
• 19:47
  I mean, again, he's built this program.
• 19:49
  I think that I'm pretty sure it's triple digit.
• 19:52
  I don't know if it's 672, but that number rings a bell.
• 19:54
  He's got the he's got the box score framed in his office.
• 19:58
  We'll see. A couple of calls real quick.
• 20:00
  Let's take Derek and then Devin. Derek, what's on your mind?
• 20:03
  Derek, how are you? Hey, well I'm not good because
• 20:08
  that was a pathetic performance. I'm with all the people.
• 20:13
  Something needs to change. We started 5 juniors at the
• 20:17
  start of the season that was starting lineup 5 and I think
• 20:22
  the correct number is 3 O something on it when he took
• 20:27
  over. Great, thanks.
• 20:30
  But he's not fired up like he used to be on the sidelines.
• 20:35
  I don't know what's going on there, but that last night when
• 20:38
  you're down 17, two, they only scored nine points in the first
• 20:41
  quarter, something's wrong. Would you be OK with him
• 20:45
  announcing that he's going to leave at the end of next year
• 20:47
  and go out with all those juniors?
• 20:48
  Derek, would you give him one year for what he's built?
• 20:52
  Yes I would but I got a funny feeling couple of them are
• 20:57
  leaving. Well, we shall see.
• 20:59
  Derek, thanks for the call. Appreciate.
• 21:00
  Appreciate you listening. And that's got to be well.
• 21:02
  Depends what a couple are going to be.
• 21:04
  Right. I mean, if we're talking about a
• 21:05
  couple of the big three we just talked about, right?
• 21:07
  No. That's not and you lose a couple
• 21:09
  of them, then we're having a completely different
• 21:11
  conversation because, well, Addie.
• 21:13
  Crooks had to have had options last year, so Addie Brown had to
• 21:16
  have had options. Last year, wouldn't they have
• 21:18
  flipped on your television? Audie's there all the time, and
• 21:21
  that's in Media Market 70. Now think of what it would be at
• 21:27
  a place, one of the blue bloods, one of the big places.
• 21:29
  How much money could she make at?
• 21:30
  Texas. What?
• 21:32
  What could she do with South Carolina?
• 21:36
  Let's get Devin in here. Devin, welcome to the program.
• 21:38
  What would you like to speak about?
• 21:40
  Devin, how are you? Doing good guys.
• 21:42
  Happy Friday. So real quick before I get my
• 21:45
  question, I called it on Tuesday and after a phone call, you guys
• 21:47
  said some very kind words and I just wanted to thank you guys.
• 21:50
  I'm a big fan of both you guys, so it means a lot.
• 21:54
  And forgive me, this question isn't really relevant to Iowa
• 21:56
  State. But Kenny, you're a Blue Jays
• 21:58
  fan and I asked Luca Strain the same question about his Yankees
• 22:01
  yesterday. Give me a reason why I should
• 22:04
  and should not place a future on the Blue Jays to win their
• 22:07
  division. The Yankees would be the reason
• 22:11
  why not. I I think the team's better on
• 22:13
  paper this year than they were last year.
• 22:15
  I get world. Series Hangover.
• 22:17
  That would be another one. Beau Bichette not being there.
• 22:20
  He wasn't going to play shortstop.
• 22:21
  He was, he's a second baseman. I think the Mets are going to
• 22:24
  have a little bit of buyer's remorse.
• 22:27
  I like their pitching staff, their closer.
• 22:29
  Jeff Hoffman worries me. He's kind of, you know who he
• 22:31
  is. He's he's the shooter.
• 22:33
  He's Rod Beck. Remember him?
• 22:35
  He's hair on fire saves. He might be before your time,
• 22:38
  Devin. But yeah, I, I think the, I
• 22:41
  think the Blue Jays are going to be fine.
• 22:42
  I really do. Gotcha.
• 22:45
  I appreciate it. And also I after my phone call
• 22:48
  on Tuesday, I also did text Trent you had a question about
• 22:51
  if I graduated Drake. I was never a student at.
• 22:53
  Drake OK. Freelance stuff, but I've got a
• 22:56
  really nice opportunity for my sports photography career coming
• 22:59
  up, so that's why I made that post.
• 23:01
  You're very good at what you do. I can't wait to see.
• 23:03
  We'll be watching Devin absolutely well.
• 23:05
  Done. Thank you.
• 23:06
  Appreciate it guys. Yep, good to talk to you.
• 23:07
  He's really good. Photographer, yes.
• 23:09
  He is. He's a really good action
• 23:10
  photographer. All right, well, take your time
• 23:11
  out. We'll come back.
• 23:14
  We will talk to Mike Pom, VP of operations, Circa Sports.
• 23:17
  Chicken coop giveaway is still to come.
• 23:19
  Tom Cacert kicks off hour number two.
• 23:21
  Eugene Repay at 1:30. Miller and Condon on the Iowa
• 23:24
  Sports. Radio Network right coming up on
• 23:29
  1230 Miller and Condon. Iowa Sports Radio Network with
• 23:32
  you here until 2:00. Drake and Belmont deadlocked at
• 23:36
  22, about 9 1/2 minutes left in the first half at the Enterprise
• 23:42
  Center in Saint Louis. Drake has just scored.
• 23:45
  They have taken the lead over the one seed.
• 23:47
  Belmont is the fatigue factor. Hopefully doesn't rear his head
• 23:52
  that we shall keep you apprised on that one.
• 23:54
  Off to Las Vegas we will go. Mike Pom, VP of operations at
• 23:57
  Circa Sports and Notre Dame grad Mike Trenton.
• 24:00
  Ken, thank you for coming on. Trent was off yesterday, so I
• 24:02
  really didn't want to touch the Lou Holtz, his passing away
• 24:06
  because I knew that you would have some something to say.
• 24:09
  Obviously, I believe that it matches up.
• 24:11
  When you were in school, Lou Holtz was was the football
• 24:14
  coach. Your memories of Lou Holtz at
• 24:17
  the helm of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football.
• 24:22
  Yeah, I have to tell you, he was the coach during my time at the
• 24:26
  school and I've never, I've never SAT and listen to more
• 24:33
  inspirational public speaker than New Hope.
• 24:37
  Every home Saturday game, they would have a luncheon on Fridays
• 24:41
  somewhere in South Bend and I would make every effort I could
• 24:45
  to get there and listen to him talk.
• 24:46
  He truly, he truly was inspiring and many, many different
• 24:50
  stories, wildly entertaining And then a very charismatic man.
• 24:55
  And you know, obviously he'd been in Hospice for a while.
• 24:59
  He held on for probably another six weeks past what they thought
• 25:03
  were going to happen. But that was his dream job.
• 25:06
  Obviously. I remember and you guys, you
• 25:07
  know, Kenny, you might be a year or two older than me.
• 25:10
  I mean, I remember him at Minnesota at at Arkansas and
• 25:13
  Minnesota growing up and you know, he had it this contract at
• 25:16
  Minnesota if the Notre Dame jobs came open to go and he got his
• 25:20
  dream job and he brought a national championship.
• 25:22
  I did. That was in his contract, Mike.
• 25:24
  I didn't know that. It was a one out.
• 25:26
  If he it it, it was a clause. He had taken Minnesota to a bowl
• 25:31
  game and the Notre Dame job came open.
• 25:33
  They they would release him if he could get the Notre Dame job.
• 25:36
  Wow. Didn't know that.
• 25:37
  Do you obviously recall the the Mark May Lou Holtz back and
• 25:41
  forth and think Reese Davis was the anchor?
• 25:43
  I thought it was really good, Mike.
• 25:45
  I thought in a lot of ways maybe ahead of its time.
• 25:48
  Yeah, yeah. Where Reese Davis was the judge
• 25:49
  and they would argue two kinds of an issue.
• 25:51
  I thought it was. It was terrific television and I
• 25:57
  wish that segment had carried on longer than it did.
• 25:59
  What did they do it for a couple of years where they had that
• 26:01
  segment? I wish it would have gone on for
• 26:03
  a decade because it was terrific stuff.
• 26:05
  And they would. And they were both good arguers
• 26:07
  and you could switch which side they were, pro or con, and it
• 26:10
  would have been a great debate as well.
• 26:12
  So take me back to the time in Notre Dame when he got things
• 26:15
  turned around, because those are my earliest memories of Notre
• 26:18
  Dame. Tony Rice winning the national
• 26:20
  championship, beat Major Harris in West Virginia in the Fiesta
• 26:23
  Bowl. Before that, Jerry, because I
• 26:26
  don't have memories of that. That was not good.
• 26:28
  How ugly did it get with Notre Dame football and were there the
• 26:31
  questions? Well, Notre Dame football, it's
• 26:33
  never coming back as we were changing in the 80s.
• 26:36
  You know, if Jerry Faust is one of the nicest people you'll ever
• 26:39
  want to meet, he was a good man. And if you go back, I mean, and
• 26:44
  look at what he did at Moeller High School in Cincinnati.
• 26:46
  I mean, you know, you can compare it to what's happened to
• 26:50
  Dowling and things like just building up a tremendous program
• 26:53
  that, you know, dominated on a state level.
• 26:56
  He was just over his head at Notre Dame and he wasn't able to
• 26:59
  recruit and that high of a level and it it took a while, but I
• 27:04
  never think that there was ever a thought that, you know, Notre
• 27:06
  Dame's totally gone because they had a little low look.
• 27:09
  They look after Holtz. We went through some coaches.
• 27:12
  I like Bob Davey a lot as an announcer.
• 27:14
  He couldn't get the job done and you had some guys that didn't
• 27:17
  didn't have them there competing at a national level or at least
• 27:21
  get into the conversation of having a shot to get into a into
• 27:25
  a playoff. So Holtzman got a whole lot of
• 27:29
  energy into it. At that time.
• 27:31
  I was a freshman when when Bettis was the senior.
• 27:34
  Sometime when we have time, I'll tell you a couple funny, funny
• 27:37
  stories about that. But yeah, it was amazing, my
• 27:40
  freshman orientation there at the ACC and all the freshmen
• 27:45
  come the first weekend with their parents and they help move
• 27:47
  in and all that. And in that row, we were sitting
• 27:49
  at the at the basketball arena there, the city.
• 27:52
  Just to our left was Regis Philbin and his wife and his
• 27:54
  daughter Jenny, who was in my class.
• 27:56
  And then two to the right was was Dick Vital and his wife and
• 27:59
  his daughter Sherry. And I remember my dad being so
• 28:02
  awesome that with that, that, that we were there and in that
• 28:06
  and that and that aura of these famous people.
• 28:08
  That's awesome. Well, I'm glad he saved the Lou
• 28:10
  Holtz conversation for you here today.
• 28:12
  I knew you'd have some good stuff.
• 28:14
  So let's talk about the here and now basketball underway
• 28:16
  tournaments, some of the smaller ones, the mid majors.
• 28:19
  Obviously it ratchets up significantly next week.
• 28:22
  What's this week? What's this weekend like in Las
• 28:24
  Vegas pursuant to college hoops, Mike?
• 28:30
  The Minnesota Wild are in town tonight.
• 28:32
  That's stick it in town really. Let me tell you, we got, we got
• 28:36
  like we're full on the glass, full in the in the boot, in
• 28:39
  that, in the suite and we got like 8 on the waiting list.
• 28:41
  Everybody wants to go see the Wild play against the against
• 28:45
  our struggling nights as they come home off the long road
• 28:48
  trip. This is a nice I mean, you know,
• 28:50
  the small conference tournament weekend is probably a headline
• 28:53
  by arch madness and Saint Louis with the Missouri Valley.
• 28:56
  And I guess you can just go to the window and bet under every
• 28:59
  other break games off to a little bit of a quicker start
• 29:02
  then you might have thought. But that's been a money maker
• 29:05
  for decades betting betting under the Missouri valley.
• 29:07
  So I said I still lead in and give some good content.
• 29:11
  I wish they would have played more games earlier in the day on
• 29:14
  Wednesdays and Thursdays. I mean, these conferences had
• 29:16
  chances to get on, you know, national stages with someone off
• 29:19
  games. And they sort of played all
• 29:20
  these games in the evening. But.
• 29:22
  And then you also have the final weekend of college basketball.
• 29:27
  You got Michigan, Michigan State on Sunday.
• 29:29
  I guess both those teams were looking ahead last night, right?
• 29:33
  I mean, yeah, you could take it. Rutgers in Iowa and cash easily.
• 29:37
  I thought I was going to pull it out.
• 29:39
  Duke, Carolina tomorrow, it's kind of the rivalry week for
• 29:42
  these teams, wrapping up the regular seasons for the major
• 29:45
  conferences, and then it leads into my favorite basketball a
• 29:48
  week of the year, which is next. Week.
• 29:50
  Absolutely, when we get the big conferences go and you still
• 29:53
  have the other mid majors that are going on, you know, we talk
• 29:55
  about it often when we're leading up to this.
• 29:57
  Everybody wants to be out there at some point for March Madness
• 29:59
  and, and get out there and see everything that conference
• 30:02
  tournament week. And on top of it, if you're a
• 30:04
  real hoop head, you got a lot of games going on out there.
• 30:07
  No, no PAC 12 anymore. Obviously that has changed.
• 30:10
  But what do you look at going out there?
• 30:11
  Have you ever bounced over there and go over to the Orleans or
• 30:14
  one of the other arenas there, Thomas and Mack and watch some
• 30:17
  of the mid major conferences that are out there?
• 30:18
  And we actually watch the hoops that are going on.
• 30:20
  And and I know it brings crowds because I remember the time we
• 30:22
  were out there, all the Wyoming fans and that's when I remember
• 30:25
  the brown and gold. Yeah.
• 30:28
  When, when I first got to town in O5, for about probably about
• 30:32
  six years, I would go to every single game in the Mountain West
• 30:36
  tournament at Thomas and Mack, and I mean every 18.
• 30:41
  So you had the four games, two and one, the three days.
• 30:44
  But I remember we'd go at, you know, 10 AM on Thursday morning
• 30:47
  and buy the tickets for both sessions and go and watch all
• 30:51
  eight teams play, interact with their fans.
• 30:52
  It was. And it was really good
• 30:54
  basketball then, too, Remember. Yeah, offered was that New
• 30:56
  Mexico, They were good. UNLV was decent.
• 31:00
  You had Kawhi Leonard at San Diego State, Jimmer for Death
• 31:04
  was at BYU, Tim Miles was at Colorado State, Jamie Dixon.
• 31:09
  I think it just got into TCU. They were still in the
• 31:11
  conference. It was really, really good
• 31:14
  basketball. You know where I go now?
• 31:16
  I don't go to the the Gonzaga, what I go.
• 31:19
  I go to the WAC tournament at the Orleans and you know why I
• 31:23
  go because Bill Benovich undoubtedly will do a couple
• 31:27
  games there. My favorite NFL referee and you
• 31:30
  know he all he's also a smaller time college basketball.
• 31:34
  He's not a Jean stare I. Didn't know that about him, I
• 31:36
  had no idea. Benovich will do a couple games
• 31:38
  in the WAC tournament and I go there just so I can talk to Bill
• 31:41
  Benovich if I can catch him before or after the game.
• 31:45
  Speaking of talking to people, you talk to people in the
• 31:47
  Vikings. I'm convinced of it because
• 31:49
  you've had some good Viking stuff.
• 31:50
  Over the year. What are you hearing about the
• 31:52
  quarterback position when it comes to Minnesota?
• 31:54
  Who, if they want, who do you think they're going to get?
• 31:58
  They're out on McCarthy being the starter and when I say they
• 32:01
  it's only, it's only KOC. He controls everything.
• 32:03
  But he's now he's gone from Wonder Boy to having his job on
• 32:06
  the line here because of last season.
• 32:09
  I mean, Flores gives you another top five defense and you
• 32:11
  squandered it because of the quarterback position.
• 32:14
  They have to decide. They've talked to every living
• 32:16
  human quarterback. I mean, they were really pushing
• 32:18
  with Derek Carr. Really.
• 32:21
  I'm not. Yeah, I'm not sure if he's
• 32:23
  coming. I'll tell you who is number 1 on
• 32:24
  their wish list of what's possible.
• 32:28
  And I say that because they really keep talking to
• 32:30
  Cincinnati about borough. I don't think that's happening.
• 32:33
  Obviously, Burrow would be #1 But who they really, really,
• 32:36
  really, really, really, really want, and San Francisco's
• 32:39
  offering a high price is Mac Jones.
• 32:41
  They really, really, really, really watch Mac Jones.
• 32:44
  I don't know if they're going to get him.
• 32:45
  They have to make a decision on Kyler, Kyler Murray.
• 32:48
  If KOC says yes, they'll go get Kyler Murray.
• 32:51
  He'll be the starter. Tyler Murray's deal is he has to
• 32:53
  be promised to be the starter. Minnesota is going to do that
• 32:56
  with whoever they bring in. They made that mistake last year
• 32:59
  because Daniel Jones wanted to come there and they wouldn't
• 33:01
  guarantee him the starter spot. They were married to McCarthy
• 33:04
  and the Colts ended up getting him.
• 33:05
  So that's what I'm hearing out of Minnesota.
• 33:07
  The other thing is I would expect them to move Jordan
• 33:09
  Addison. They're tired of his childish
• 33:12
  behavior, Jefferson, his child, tired of babysitting him.
• 33:15
  So I would look for them to move Addison and any sort of a trade.
• 33:19
  What are your thoughts in Chicago?
• 33:21
  A lot of cutting going on the move with DJ Moore in the trade.
• 33:24
  I thought a pretty good haul that came back with the second
• 33:26
  rounder coming back, though they did have to eat a little bit of
• 33:29
  salary. Overall, when he looked at the
• 33:30
  Bears, their roster, what they're doing feels like a lot
• 33:33
  of shuffling for a team that was very successful a year ago.
• 33:36
  Well, I think they're trying to make room for Crosby if this
• 33:39
  deal would get done today before 4:00 Eastern.
• 33:42
  Crosby will be my guest on this on this Chicago show tomorrow
• 33:45
  morning, and that'll be his first introduction.
• 33:46
  But I don't think the deal is going to get done.
• 33:48
  That would have been such a great thing for for me.
• 33:50
  But anyhow, yeah, I think that's what what it's for.
• 33:54
  I really thought the DJ more move was terrific.
• 33:57
  I go A + A + a plus on every front.
• 34:00
  The salary cap that they needed a clear space.
• 34:03
  They had too many guys that need to touch the ball.
• 34:05
  They got good young wide receivers and tight ends and
• 34:08
  obviously more production had fallen down and he looked
• 34:10
  disinterested at the end of the year.
• 34:12
  The further they went, the worse he got.
• 34:14
  So and to get a second rounder, I give that as a plus for the
• 34:17
  beard and I don't mind it. I don't mind Buffalo taking a
• 34:20
  shot on a guy that might have been unhappy in the place.
• 34:22
  I don't think it was. I don't say like it's AD for
• 34:25
  Buffalo and an A plus. I think it's probably an A+ and
• 34:27
  AB for the bill. Yeah, Bills needed a wide
• 34:29
  receiver, no doubt about it, and they've got one here.
• 34:32
  Well, it's a trade deadline in the NHL.
• 34:35
  You've mentioned the Minnesota Wild as tough a ticket as in in
• 34:37
  Las Vegas. Look, they play in the wrong
• 34:40
  division. It's just tough enough to tell
• 34:42
  you this with Colorado and Dallas are right there with
• 34:45
  them. I think the Wild have a
• 34:47
  legitimate chance, Mike. I really do.
• 34:49
  I think if they get out of this division, look out, there could
• 34:52
  be a parade in Saint Paul. Well, if they get out of the
• 34:56
  division, they're winning it. The two best teams in hockey are
• 34:59
  in the division. And while I'm saying that, I'm
• 35:01
  discounting Dallas, who, by the way, is 110 in a row.
• 35:06
  Obviously Garrett's gone out and tried to get tougher.
• 35:08
  You know, Heinz made a comment the other earlier in the week
• 35:11
  when they lost it. They're not tough enough and I
• 35:13
  think the buffoon Garen got the message because the everything
• 35:16
  they're doing is to try to get a tougher here.
• 35:18
  I don't know if they're going to be able to get a top line, a top
• 35:21
  line center. I'm hearing that Jasper Walstad
• 35:24
  is going through his mental issues again.
• 35:27
  If that's the case, I told you earlier, you know you might see
• 35:33
  the flower on their playoff roster.
• 35:36
  He's been practicing with them at least twice a month.
• 35:39
  I keep waiting for somebody to get Bennington.
• 35:41
  I didn't realize how many teams he has on a no trade clause.
• 35:44
  Every Canadian team except Toronto he has a no trade clause
• 35:47
  with. Obviously he's not going to a
• 35:49
  Canadian team. Watch Bobrowski get to get moved
• 35:51
  in the next two hours. Florida is not resigning him to
• 35:54
  a long term deal. If I were Edmonton or the Golden
• 35:57
  Knights, I would take a shot on Bobrowski and if I were Tampa
• 35:59
  Bay, I'd go out and try to get Stamps post back.
• 36:01
  Yeah, he wants to come come back there in Nashville's trading.
• 36:04
  Obviously Mccarran is now a a member of the Wild.
• 36:07
  I see Felino's brothers now leads, gives up the captaincy in
• 36:12
  Chicago. See who he goes over.
• 36:13
  Anyways, go ahead, turn. I have a hockey question.
• 36:16
  It's not April and I have a hockey question.
• 36:18
  I know this is wonderful. So you gave us before the year
• 36:21
  Anaheim feeling very good, really.
• 36:23
  Good. Too, not not home free, but I
• 36:25
  was starting to peek forward and you guys would talk about just
• 36:27
  how ridiculous it is in the Central with Colorado, with
• 36:30
  Dallas, with Minnesota and how good those teams are.
• 36:32
  Well, somebody is likely going to have to come out of the other
• 36:34
  half of the bracket. Is there a lottery ticket, maybe
• 36:37
  a hedging opportunity out of Anaheim, Utah, Seattle, one of
• 36:42
  those squads that you can get a good price?
• 36:44
  What are those three that you like at this point?
• 36:48
  Well, I have Anaheim from before the season at 3:00 to 1:00 to
• 36:51
  make the playoffs and at 100 to 1 to win the Cup.
• 36:54
  They might win the Pacific Division.
• 36:57
  They they might win the Pacific Division.
• 36:59
  So if they can get to the Final Four, I mean, obviously they'll
• 37:02
  be a big dog to Colorado or Minnesota or Dallas.
• 37:05
  But still, at 100 to one, that's a heck of an opportunity.
• 37:08
  Somebody's getting left out in that Pacific Division, you know,
• 37:13
  Nashville still in this Utah tell you about the wild cards
• 37:16
  now Seattle and and San Jose. I, I tend to take San Jose the
• 37:23
  best of those teams. I'm not sure how it's going to
• 37:25
  how it's going to wind up. You know, they need the
• 37:29
  Dalkovich to be really good in the playoffs if they're going to
• 37:32
  get in and and take a little flyer.
• 37:34
  Obviously the Ducks is my favorite of all those teams, but
• 37:38
  they're sort of on a different, odd level than the other ones
• 37:40
  we've mentioned. Yeah, and they're making some
• 37:42
  moves as all the top teams are good stuff.
• 37:44
  Mike Vaughn, VP of operations at Circus Sports, sold out next
• 37:48
  week at the properties and then for March Madness opening

  So Jason, Jack and Kyle, I want to warn you 3 gentlemen.
• 39:36
  We have a ringer. On the phone, his name is Ryan.
• 39:39
  He's confident. Ryan has played this contest,
• 39:41
  you said three times. Three for his last three.
• 39:44
  And he's won every time. So this is all chicken coop.
• 39:48
  He didn't win going back to Claxon.
• 39:49
  'S I don't think so. I I was looking back through and
• 39:51
  trying to find the last time that he was in it was a couple
• 39:55
  of months back. But yes, the last time that I
• 39:56
  got him here in the notebook, he came home a winter.
• 39:59
  He's hot. He is and he's back.
• 40:01
  So Jason, Jack and Kyle, you may be playing for 2nd place, which
• 40:05
  isn't bad. I mean it's 20 wings after.
• 40:08
  All voted the best wings in Central.
• 40:10
  They're so good. They're they truly are.
• 40:12
  Jason, how are you? Jason, you're a little worried.
• 40:16
  I'm a little worried about your phone.
• 40:19
  I'm one for one. OK, I.
• 40:21
  Will try it again. All right, that's a terrible
• 40:25
  phone line, brother. We'll battle.
• 40:28
  That's OK. You and you and I, Illinois

• 41:06
  chaser. Sounded like he sounds like he
• 41:09
  was deep in it too it. Really was.
• 41:11
  All right, let's get to the ringer.
• 41:13
  Hello, Ryan, How are you? I'm doing doing great.
• 41:16
  And by the way, yes, I've won a couple of Claxtons.
• 41:19
  Did you really? Yeah, that that's that's been a
• 41:22
  minute now there's I don't know, I've lost a few times over the
• 41:24
  years, but yeah, legit 3 for three this last year, so.
• 41:27
  Good stuff. Good stuff.
• 41:28
  Well, let's see if you can keep it going.
• 41:30
  I've warned the others to be wary of you and I.

  Probably be the Dukies then. That's a lot of points.
• 42:55
  It's a ton of points, man. In rivalry games, you take and

  Iowa Duke, a 15 1/2 point favorite over North Carolina.

  North Carolina tiebreaker women's basketball, Iowa,
• 43:47
  Illinois total points closest without going over.
• 43:49
  Kyle closest without going over. So if I said one, I'd have all
• 43:55
  the way up to 1. You certainly would, Sir.
• 43:57
  Yes. Good.
• 43:59
  Let's do 1.1 point. It is.
• 44:01
  Thank you, Kyle. Have a good weekend.
• 44:03
  Thank you. Yep, good to talk to you.
• 44:04
  Well played. Price is right rules.
• 44:06
  Yeah, so last week and we even joked about it when everybody
• 44:10
  took Iowa. Yep.
• 44:11
  And if everybody's on the same, on the same team, on the same
• 44:14
  game, on the same side, it is a bet against and you can take the
• 44:18
  elastic band off the bankroll. I think historically when I
• 44:21
  looked a while back. It was over 70.
• 44:23
  Percent it was it was like 72% that our colors got it wrong.
• 44:27
  And it it goes to what we talked about often with betting
• 44:30
  perceptions. And what do you see?
• 44:32
  The public all going one way go the other.
• 44:34
  And it happens in the chicken coop contest as well.
• 44:36
  You go one way and guess who everybody's on tonight.
• 44:40
  Oh no, EU and I Panthers. Illinois State's the play.
• 44:44
  They beat the Panthers twice this year.
• 44:45
  Illinois states go play. It is historically 72% that is
• 44:51
  the play. We joke that Penn State's going
• 44:53
  to win, and I thought, no, there's no way.
• 44:54
  By the way, Drake is beating the number one seed Belmont Bruins
• 45:00
  4640 under a minute left first. Half.
• 45:04
  That is a quick pace. Belmont's fine with that pace.
• 45:06
  Are we sure the doggies? Are well, not.
• 45:08
  After playing yesterday, I would assume that in the second-half
• 45:10
  at some point don't. Their legs get a little heavy.
• 45:12
  I would think so. Currently on the money line live
• 45:16
  line, Belmont's still -166 the Dogs plus 1:30 at DraftKings.
• 45:23
  Wouldn't that be something if Henderson gets this team to
• 45:25
  Saturday after the season that they had?
• 45:28
  9 game losing streak to end it and then to get there and Drake
• 45:31
  has done this before when they beat number one seed you and I
• 45:34
  and AJ Green a couple of years back.
• 45:37
  Is that the 2020 season before everything shut down?
• 45:41
  Well, if it was, it would have been one of the last events
• 45:43
  before everything shut down. Yes, yeah.
• 45:45
  It would have might have been one of the cause.
• 45:48
  What what were we watching? Was it an ACC game?
• 45:51
  Big East? It was a Big East game, yes.
• 45:53
  And then you got home, right? Watch the second-half of the
• 45:56
  night before, right? And we're very confused.
• 45:59
  St. John's was involved.
• 46:00
  Maybe Creighton. Creighton was, yeah, it was
• 46:02
  Creighton. Drake has extended the lead to
• 46:04
  835 seconds left. First half 4840 for your
• 46:09
  Bulldogs. Tom Caker kicks off Hour 2
• 46:12
  Eugene Repay on Iowa State, Miller and Condon on the Iowa
• 46:15
  Sports Radio Network.
