• 0:22
  By the way, before we get to Carrie Miller, you'll join us
• 0:24
  here in seconds Saturday and Sunday.
• 0:28
  Are they like dinner time tips like 5:00 for the for the first
• 0:33
  game and then seven? Saturday, yes, I think Sunday,
• 0:37
  both CBS, but. I will look and they move up on
• 0:40
  CBS. And yes, yes, I believe.
• 0:43
  So like one in three, but I'll look for sure.
• 0:45
  Okay, yeah, I've been, I was trying to find out, I think.
• 0:48
  I think there are evening tips. When Iowa beats Nebraska,
• 0:52
  they'll they'll play. There you go. 5:00 or that'll be
• 0:55
  one of the options. Yeah, if you can find that trend
• 0:57
  because I I've been looking and couldn't find it.
• 0:59
  Maybe Carrie Miller will know. bleacherreport.com.
• 1:01
  Carrie Trenton, Ken, thanks for coming on a great time of year,
• 1:04
  especially for us here in the state of Iowa as both of our
• 1:07
  needle movers, Iowa and Iowa State are both alive.
• 1:10
  One place tonight. Iowa State placed tomorrow.
• 1:13
  Great time to be in the state of Iowa.
• 1:14
  But Carrie Miller, how are you? Hey, I'm I'm doing well and I
• 1:18
  I'm pretty sure the Sunday Elite 8 games are usually like 220
• 1:23
  Eastern and then 505 Eastern. I don't remember what it is on
• 1:26
  Saturday, but we won't even know the which games are in which
• 1:30
  time slot until later. Yeah, that does make that does
• 1:33
  make some sense. Well, let's let's start with the
• 1:35
  two our two games, obviously first tonight, Nebraska and
• 1:40
  Iowa. These two teams split the
• 1:42
  regular season. I will losing over there in
• 1:45
  Lincoln in overtime in the final game of the regular season.
• 1:48
  There's just two evenly matched teams.
• 1:51
  I think it's a coin flip. That's kind of been the
• 1:52
  consensus in these parts. Carrie, how do you see Iowa,
• 1:55
  Nebraska tonight? Yeah, I think it's a a coin flip
• 1:59
  as well, a very slow motion coin flip.
• 2:04
  I think Nebraska is like bottom five in the nation in a, you
• 2:09
  know, length of defensive possession.
• 2:11
  And then obviously Iowa is one of the slowest on offense, so
• 2:15
  not going to be many fast break points in this one.
• 2:17
  I don't imagine. But just like we all expected
• 2:20
  before the season, right, Iowa versus Nebraska for a spot in
• 2:23
  the Elite 8. But it should be a good game.
• 2:25
  I know a lot of people, you know, outside of that region are
• 2:30
  probably viewing it as the, you know, least compelling of the
• 2:33
  games, but it's probably going to be one of the most
• 2:35
  entertaining, most certainly the most, you know, no love lost of
• 2:40
  the game. Yeah, between the fan bases and
• 2:43
  the media in some respects. Plenty of that.
• 2:46
  There's a lot of angles and, well, a former Hawkeye is now
• 2:48
  playing for the Huskers. Not just playing.
• 2:52
  And Jacob Cook, who was one of his teammates last year, had
• 2:54
  some questions about price and some of the things that he
• 2:57
  stated. But that aside, in the game, two
• 3:00
  very close games, is there an X Factor that you look at, Carrie,
• 3:04
  anything that you point to and say, hey, I think this is
• 3:07
  something one way or the other that either Nebraska or Iowa can
• 3:09
  get advantage just because they're so well scouted.
• 3:12
  Both these coaches are excellent.
• 3:14
  They know all their tendencies. Anything you can look at,
• 3:16
  Carrie? I think the, I mean, the big X
• 3:20
  Factor for me is what Iowa is able to do forcing turnovers,
• 3:24
  because usually that's the strength of Nebraska, you know,
• 3:26
  not giving up the ball. But that's also a strength of
• 3:29
  Iowa is getting those takeaways. But if it's just, you know, kind
• 3:33
  of your standard half court game, I I think it'll probably
• 3:37
  play out more similarly to the first one that was like 5752
• 3:43
  then then the overtime game that was, you know, played in the low
• 3:45
  80s or wherever that was. But yeah, I think it's probably
• 3:49
  if I was able to generate 8 or more steals that that's probably
• 3:54
  a pretty big advantage for them. Kerry, go back to when when it
• 3:57
  was first announced, the McCollum is is leaving Drake and
• 3:59
  he's headed to Iowa. He's bringing most of those
• 4:02
  Bulldogs with him and that's that's what happened.
• 4:05
  Obviously, you know, from from from where are you from your
• 4:08
  outpost? Did you think, boy, this is this
• 4:11
  is an interesting hire? We'll see if it works.
• 4:13
  We'll see if valley kids can step in in mass as they have.
• 4:16
  We've seen them, you know, plucked into, you know, periodic
• 4:20
  periodically to different teams. But when essentially the whole
• 4:23
  roster comes with and what was what was kind of going through
• 4:26
  your mind? Did you think it would work to
• 4:27
  the level that obviously it has as they're reviving alive in the
• 4:31
  second weekend? I mean, Drake was a very good
• 4:34
  team last season. I mean, I guess the committee
• 4:37
  had decided that they weren't going to get in without the
• 4:40
  automatic bid with where they ended up being seated.
• 4:42
  But I thought they were solid, you know, top 25 ish team.
• 4:46
  But there was that question of, you know, there's a big
• 4:49
  difference going from the Valley to play in, you know, 20 Big 10
• 4:52
  games. And yeah, it was it was a pretty
• 4:54
  big question whether, you know, Sturtz and Man Yao and all that
• 4:58
  would be able to cut the mustard.
• 5:00
  But clearly they can, you know, they should have probably should
• 5:04
  have beaten Michigan there towards the end of the season
• 5:07
  and that would have been, you know, a real game changer.
• 5:09
  They would have been like a six seed or something.
• 5:12
  Then you know what, in hindsight, and we were talking
• 5:15
  for weeks and weeks and weeks, Carrie, I just got to get out of
• 5:17
  that 8-9 game, get out of that 8-9 game, and then Florida
• 5:21
  happens and they got out of it now got a shot against Nebraska
• 5:25
  to Elite 8. Just absolutely wild.
• 5:27
  Carrie, what a jump over to the Cyclone perspective.
• 5:29
  And you know, the Jefferson question remains.
• 5:32
  We'll see. They're going to be taking the
• 5:33
  hardwood here in a little bit and, and what it's going to be,
• 5:37
  is it Tennessee just if they get a bunch of offensive rebounds,
• 5:39
  they can hang around and if not, Iowa State cruises.
• 5:42
  How how do you look at this game with the Vols?
• 5:45
  Yeah, I mean, another one where the the turnovers will kind of
• 5:49
  tell the story, especially if Jefferson, you know, doesn't
• 5:52
  play or is is significantly limited.
• 5:54
  Then, you know, it's really up to Lipsy and and Tori to to
• 5:59
  really, you know, bring the Thunder and get those turnovers
• 6:02
  because Tennessee is not a particularly secure with the
• 6:06
  ball type of team. You know, that they don't have
• 6:08
  the Kai's Eagle anymore. I mean, Jacoby Gillespie is
• 6:11
  phenomenal, but he's not as, you know, turnover reverse.
• 6:13
  So I think that's where they could, you know, really kind of
• 6:16
  take over the game. But yeah, if Jefferson doesn't
• 6:19
  go and Tennessee is just able to get rebound after rebound after
• 6:23
  rebound, that doesn't bode well for the Cyclones.
• 6:26
  Although I do believe Tennessee, forget the exact number, but
• 6:30
  there have been three games, I think, where Tennessee got 22
• 6:33
  offensive rebounds and still lost.
• 6:35
  So you still got to be able to eventually score even if you
• 6:38
  create second and third chances. So we'll see if they can, you
• 6:41
  know, put the ball in the hoop. That's an interesting nugget.
• 6:44
  Did not realize that. Well, let's let's go to Thursday
• 6:47
  before we take a look with you, ask you to take a look at some
• 6:50
  of the Friday games. Arizona Arkansas has got a lot
• 6:53
  of eyeballs on this game tonight.
• 6:54
  There's a lot of Calipari fans, This Arkansas team, obviously,
• 6:58
  they've got a superstar on their bench.
• 7:00
  Arizona's got a bunch of them on their bench.
• 7:02
  How do you see Arizona, Arkansas?
• 7:04
  Do you give the Razorbacks a chance in this one, Carrie?
• 7:07
  I mean, they've got a chance. I think nothing would surprise
• 7:11
  me, you know, in terms of who wins these next eight games.
• 7:15
  But I I'm not picking Arkansas. I think Arizona's the best team
• 7:19
  in the country and I don't think Arkansas plays enough defense.
• 7:24
  If it was if it was the if it was Alabama against Arizona
• 7:29
  instead, a team that just makes it rain 3 pointers, I would
• 7:33
  believe in it a little bit more. But Arkansas, outside of Acuff
• 7:36
  and and to some extent Malik Thomas, they don't really shoot
• 7:39
  that many threes. So I don't know that they're
• 7:40
  going to be able to just, you know, more threes.
• 7:43
  You know, threes are worth two more than twos.
• 7:45
  And you got to be able to outscore Arizona, who's just
• 7:47
  going to be relentless in the paint in this game.
• 7:50
  So I think Arizona probably just does what they've done for most
• 7:54
  of the season and ends up winning the game on the glass
• 7:57
  and in the paint. We talked earlier about Purdue,
• 7:59
  Texas. What's the path for the
• 8:02
  Longhorns to pull the upset here?
• 8:03
  Can you find one? Yeah, I mean, if they're able to
• 8:07
  play their super physical game, what they did against BYU and NC
• 8:12
  State, I think the game against Gonzaga kind of got away from
• 8:15
  Texas in terms of their style, but they were still able to pull
• 8:18
  it out because Gonzaga didn't make much of anything in that
• 8:21
  game. But if they're able to play, you
• 8:24
  know, when Bogatitis is drawing like 8 fouls in a game and that
• 8:29
  that can change everything, especially for a Purdue team
• 8:31
  that isn't particularly deep. I mean, they've got three really
• 8:35
  solid front court guys and I don't know if Modest can foul
• 8:38
  them all out, but he's going to try.
• 8:41
  Yes, he is. You mentioned that rounded 64
• 8:44
  game against NC State. A quick aside, Will Wade going
• 8:48
  back to LSU after the strong ass offer?
• 8:50
  It just LSU in general. They make college athletics now.
• 8:54
  They got two of the most unlikeable figures together with
• 8:57
  him and Lane Kiffin and Ken mentioned earlier the women's
• 8:59
  basketball coach is not a very likable one either in Kimboki.
• 9:02
  It's just absolutely wild. And will Wade back where?
• 9:06
  Well, now he can do it and not get in trouble for it, right?
• 9:09
  Yeah, maybe. Maybe if Texas goes deep enough,
• 9:12
  then Shawn Merrill will go back to Arizona too.
• 9:15
  You know, that's legal. That could be if Tommy Lloyd is
• 9:20
  going to North Carolina, there's going to be an opening.
• 9:22
  I don't know. I tried to not pay too much
• 9:25
  attention to the coaching carousel because it's, I mean,
• 9:27
  obviously it's important, but at this time of year, I just want
• 9:29
  to focus on these games. I know I sound like one of the
• 9:32
  head coaches. You're preaching the corner.
• 9:35
  I love it. Let's finish up tonight's slate.
• 9:38
  Obviously the winner of Iowa and Nebraska would get the winner of
• 9:41
  Houston and Illinois. Houston, really good defensive
• 9:44
  club. They score as well.
• 9:45
  But Illinois, there's such a fun team to watch with all the Euros
• 9:49
  in the brand of basketball. They have it.
• 9:50
  Oh, by the way, Wagler's pretty good as well.
• 9:52
  Illinois, Houston tonight, your thoughts?
• 9:56
  I think that's going to be the best game of this round, maybe
• 10:00
  of this entire weekend because that's, I mean, I think that's 4
• 10:03
  versus 6 as far as Ken Palm is concerned.
• 10:05
  Like this is, this should be a final 4 caliber type of game.
• 10:10
  We'll see how well Illinois is able to defend.
• 10:14
  They forced turnovers at the lowest rate in the entire
• 10:16
  country and Houston doesn't turn the ball over legitimately.
• 10:20
  Houston might commit 0 Turner in this game, but it'll depend on,
• 10:24
  you know, whether Kingston Fleming's and Emmanuel Sharp are
• 10:26
  hitting their these mid range twos that they tend to fall in
• 10:30
  love with a little bit too much. But I don't think Illinois
• 10:34
  defenses quite up to the task. I think Houston wins a close
• 10:37
  one. Harry, Duke, St.
• 10:41
  Johns and I get the Johnnies because you got the New York
• 10:45
  market. I think people of a certain era,
• 10:47
  people in their 40s and 50s, remember in some of those great
• 10:50
  St. John's teams, I love Chris Bolen
• 10:52
  growing up and there there's so many angles that they've had the
• 10:55
  same drought. Iowa, they haven't played in the
• 10:56
  Sweet 16 since 1999, yet you think the St.
• 10:59
  John's is this national power? They're fun, they're
• 11:02
  interesting. Is Duke a different animal or do
• 11:04
  you see them being wounded as they've looked a couple of
• 11:06
  times, including against the end in the first round?
• 11:10
  You know, I happened to remember when we were, you know, working
• 11:13
  on these Sweet 16 previews, it was against Saint John's that
• 11:17
  Mike Schefsky got his one thousandth career win.
• 11:21
  I don't know if there's a obviously he's not there
• 11:23
  anymore, but maybe a little bit of a, you know, a revenge served
• 11:27
  12 years cold type of situation here.
• 11:30
  If the the Red Storm are able to pull it off.
• 11:31
  And I think they could. And I think it really depends on
• 11:35
  really Duke's health. I think if they if we don't even
• 11:38
  know if Foster is going to play, we assume Young was going to
• 11:40
  play and, you know, play a little bit better, a little more
• 11:42
  healthily than he did in that game against TCU.
• 11:46
  So if he's able to be in there with Boozer taking on edge of
• 11:49
  four, I think Duke probably gets the edge.
• 11:52
  I think even without Foster, Kaden Boozers good enough to get
• 11:56
  them over the hump there. But the point I've made for both
• 12:01
  of Duke's losses was, you know, was JT Toppin was awesome and
• 12:04
  did just enough to overcome Caleb or Cameron Boozer.
• 12:08
  And then Caleb Wilson, same thing, the loss to North
• 12:11
  Carolina. So I think it all hinges on Edge
• 12:13
  of Four and whether he's able to to outplay Boozer.
• 12:17
  Now, any chance Foster's back? Maybe not this weekend, or maybe
• 12:21
  if they get to Sunday or Or is he done?
• 12:23
  Do you expect to see him on the floor again this year?
• 12:26
  Yeah, I know when when the injury first happened, they said
• 12:30
  they hope to have him back by the Final Four if they get there
• 12:33
  and then saw reports from yesterday or two days ago that
• 12:37
  he might be available this weekend.
• 12:39
  I don't know if that's just a little bit of gamesmanship or
• 12:41
  what, but I don't know what when he got hurt initially, like I
• 12:46
  was, I was watching that game live was like, oh, that's like
• 12:48
  a, a Liz Frank injury or something.
• 12:50
  He ain't back. But I don't know what it ended
• 12:53
  up being. I know he had surgery, but he
• 12:54
  was like immediately reaching for the middle of his foot.
• 12:57
  So it looked like, you know, either a broken bone or, you
• 13:00
  know, a complete tear of plantar fasciitis or something.
• 13:04
  It wasn't your standard rolled ankle that you can just come
• 13:07
  back from. So I don't, I'm not, and I'm not
• 13:09
  a doctor, but I'm not optimistic that he'll be back.
• 13:12
  Opposite Iowa State, Tennessee, tomorrow night will be Michigan,
• 13:15
  UConn. There's going to be a lot of
• 13:17
  eyeballs on that one. You got two of the craziest
• 13:20
  coaches on the sideline, though. They do it different ways.
• 13:23
  Izzo hopping up and down like leprechaun, Hurley throwing
• 13:26
  bombs all over the place. I mean, the coaching match up
• 13:29
  aside, what do you think we're going to see on the floor?
• 13:32
  Yeah, it'll be, there'll be a lot of cuts to the the coaches
• 13:36
  for sure. They they might as well just
• 13:38
  have them each corner for the whole game.
• 13:40
  But yeah, I think that's if it if it's not Houston, IL, that's
• 13:46
  the best game. I think it's probably that one,
• 13:48
  just two very evenly matched teams who you know, if Reed is
• 13:52
  playing like you did in the first weekend, I think he had 41
• 13:55
  points and 40 rebounds between the two games.
• 13:58
  But Michigan State's front court is just massive, like they're
• 14:02
  the stars are their their guards, Cohen Carr and and
• 14:04
  Jeremy Fears junior. But it's the the rebounders, the
• 14:07
  the big uglies who, you know, really kind of steer their ship
• 14:11
  and what they're able to do in the painting on defense.
• 14:14
  So I think Michigan State probably wins.
• 14:17
  I wasn't particularly high on U Conn even before they lost to
• 14:21
  Marquette and then got pummeled by Saint John's in the Big East
• 14:24
  tournament. I thought UCLA would be in this
• 14:26
  game instead of the the hunt. But that that Hurley guy, he can
• 14:29
  coach. So I'm definitely not counting
• 14:31
  them out. And last one, obviously Alabama,
• 14:34
  Michigan, Michigan is just steam rolling teams or through the
• 14:38
  first weekend to Saint Louis. They just destroyed them.
• 14:40
  I thought that might be a closer game.
• 14:41
  It wasn't. Your thoughts on Alabama and
• 14:44
  Michigan as we wrap things up with Carrie Miller from Bleacher
• 14:46
  Report. Yeah, I mean, that Saint Louis
• 14:49
  game was good for about 25 minutes.
• 14:51
  Same with the game against Howard.
• 14:53
  But just eventually it's like it's almost reminiscent of that
• 14:58
  said Kentucky team that went 38 and one, it was just like, yeah,
• 15:01
  anybody can hang with them for 2025, but who can do it for 40?
• 15:04
  And I don't I don't trust Alabama defense at all to be
• 15:08
  able to to do anything to slow down Michigan.
• 15:10
  So I think this, it's probably going to be, you know, 102 to 95
• 15:15
  type of game. I don't know what the over under
• 15:17
  is, but I'd probably hammer the over if I was still into sports
• 15:19
  betting. Good stuff.
• 15:22
  Did you learn your lesson or it can get you no doubt about it.
• 15:26
  Hey, Carrie, thanks for jumping on, man.
• 15:28
  We appreciate your contribution. Great stuff.
• 15:30
  Carrie Miller, thank you so much.
• 15:33
  You got it. Take care guys.
• 15:33
  Yeah, good to talk to you. Carrie Miller,
• 15:35
  bleacherreport.com on the eight games that will take place for
• 15:39
  tonight and for tomorrow. Is there a of the 8 most, is
• 15:44
  there one team that is it Michigan that you can just go
• 15:47
  ahead and get out your pen and write them in your bracket?
• 15:49
  You still you think Alabama's got a shot?
• 15:50
  No, it's just Alabama's 3 point variance.
• 15:53
  I mean, they can make 17 threes, Yeah.
• 15:55
  So I mean, it's I don't think that's the one.
• 15:58
  If there was one, it would be probably Purdue for me.
• 16:01
  It really, I think so. I I don't like that Texas team.
• 16:06
  I didn't see him enough during the regular season really to
• 16:09
  develop an opinion on them. But he mentioned Vuiken Titus is
• 16:13
  he's really fun player, like he's skilled inside.
• 16:16
  He's got kind of, he's not your traditional Euro.
• 16:19
  There's a little bit more of an edge to him, though.
• 16:22
  He can step out. But yeah, he's got some
• 16:24
  toughness to him. So I do like his game, but I
• 16:26
  don't love their backcourt. Purdue, I guess they figured it
• 16:30
  out and neutral court what they did obviously at the Big 10
• 16:34
  tournament, but even during the regular season when they
• 16:36
  struggled so much at Mackie, they actually were really good
• 16:39
  in the non conference. Have they ever struggled that
• 16:41
  much at Mackie? I find it hard.
• 16:43
  To ever is a long time. I mean they had some down years.
• 16:45
  Painter early on had some down. During but during this run have
• 16:48
  they? Been no.
• 16:49
  Nothing like that, no. I don't think so.
• 16:51
  Either they were the preseason number one team when they lose 4
• 16:53
  times, I think, I think Iowa State, yeah, Illinois, Michigan,
• 16:59
  Michigan State and they lost five times at Mackey this year.
• 17:03
  I still can't believe Wisconsin went out as quickly as they did.
• 17:05
  That was the one team in the Big 10 that I thought had a chance.
• 17:08
  I mean, obviously other than the, you know, the Michigan's
• 17:11
  and. A high point was good.
• 17:13
  I mean, they pushed Arkansas, yeah.
• 17:15
  And that's what happens when you have money at the mid major
• 17:17
  level. I was about to say that's one of
• 17:18
  the things that I learned in this tournament was just some of
• 17:21
  the the benefits. I had no idea High Point's as
• 17:23
  nice as it is. Yeah, that gym that they play
• 17:26
  in, it's a palace. Speaking of High Point, I
• 17:29
  mentioned earlier I was listening to podcast with
• 17:31
  Benetti earlier today. Benetti was the radio voice of
• 17:35
  High Point, that's how. That's where he started.
• 17:37
  And an assistant coach that he roomed with in a couple of Rd.
• 17:41
  trips. Josh Shirts.
• 17:42
  Is that a fact life? Some of the way that these
• 17:46
  things just all mold together and you hear these stories of
• 17:48
  where these people come from. Have you seen, And it's going
• 17:50
  all over Twitter, Kevin Harlan's high school broadcasting career.
• 17:54
  I did, yeah. Jeez, and some of the some of
• 17:59
  his the not luxuries but some of the doors that were open to him
• 18:04
  because of his last name helps. Right.
• 18:09
  Watching getting into Lambeau Field with the NBC broadcast
• 18:12
  because of Grandpa. Be nice.
• 18:14
  Indeed, the president of the. Packers, that doesn't hurt at
• 18:17
  all. You saw no.
• 18:18
  He's good. I'm not saying he's phenomenal.
• 18:20
  Yes, absolutely. And it helps.
• 18:21
  I mean, no Eagle. I don't like it at the beginning
• 18:25
  because. Joe Buck don't think his dad
• 18:26
  didn't open the. Door Oh, absolutely.
• 18:28
  Those guys definitely have a leg ahead, but you also have to be
• 18:31
  able to stand. On it.
• 18:32
  And they all have. Absolutely every single one of
• 18:34
  them. And after a couple of broadcasts
• 18:35
  and no Eagle, I'm like, yeah, he can't even.
• 18:38
  I want to hate this guy. I know, but he's really good.
• 18:41
  He's really good. He's.
• 18:42
  Excellent. He's so, so good.
• 18:43
  You saw the TV numbers that came out from the second round.
• 18:45
  It's incredible. The number 2 rated game.
• 18:48
  Oh, I didn't see this. I didn't see a breakdown.
• 18:50
  Yes #1 Kansas. St.
• 18:53
  John's, OK #2 Iowa State, Kentucky.
• 18:57
  Was it really? Yes, now the top eight games
• 19:00
  were all CBS exclusive games. Where was Vandy, Nebraska?
• 19:05
  Not in the top 10 because it wasn't on CBS.
• 19:08
  Tru TV or wherever it was. In fact, out of the top ten,
• 19:11
  only one cable game made the list.
• 19:14
  The other nine are from CBS Broadcast Windows, Iowa,
• 19:17
  Florida. Had to of yes. 5.14 million for

• 21:24
  It's not the oddest. We know what the oddest 1 is.
• 21:26
  Yeah, I know, but. And it was just one of those
• 21:29
  random things you cut your Ruthie with a little Bud Light.

  Simple next. But what a year to go out,
• 21:51
  right? Both our teams in the Sweet 16.
• 21:52
  My God, I'm a fortunate sports talker.
• 21:55
  It's the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 22:02
  It's time for sin. Steven M Simple talks with
• 22:07
  myself and Ken on Nebraska football.
• 22:09
  I mean, I have a radio show, we have callers.
• 22:12
  I pay attention to my Twitter notifications and all that.
• 22:15
  There's definitely some frustration.
• 22:17
  We talk Cornhuskers, and you never know what else is going to
• 22:21
  come up with 30 years on the Nebraska beat.
• 22:26
  Here's Steven M Simple. As long as they're paying me to
• 22:29
  talk, I'm just going to keep doing it.
• 22:32
  Hi welcome back Miller and Pound and I the sports radio network
• 22:35
  just passed 130 off the bench coming up at the top of the
• 22:38
  hour. The boys live Dave and Buster's
• 22:40
  this afternoon from 2:00 until 5 off to Houston.
• 22:44
  Sip is there along with his morning radio show 93.7 over in
• 22:47
  lincolnhuskerillustrated.com, part of on three Media and
• 22:51
  Steven M joins us. What a what a year Sip who, who
• 22:54
  saw this coming, right? Not only Nebraska winning a game
• 22:57
  in a tournament, getting through the first weekend and in their
• 23:00
  path, the Iowa Hawkeyes that have had their own incredible
• 23:06
  run to get here as well. It's amazing that these two
• 23:09
  border rivals will battle tonight with the winner going to
• 23:13
  the Elite 8. Couldn't script it.
• 23:14
  Sip couldn't script it. No, I mean, it's the intrigue is
• 23:19
  sort of ridiculously high. I it's almost, I mean, I, I
• 23:24
  don't. Yeah, I haven't.
• 23:27
  I don't know that I fully have grasped it.
• 23:29
  I don't think I will until they walk out on the court and it'll
• 23:33
  be so intense these games that now listen, you guys, it's more
• 23:37
  old hat for you guys to cover the NCAA Tournament.
• 23:41
  I haven't done it very often and I haven't.
• 23:45
  Yeah, it's true. I certainly had never.
• 23:48
  Obviously Nebraska has never gone this far, obviously.
• 23:53
  And it's what you notice is the intensity is ridiculous, almost
• 23:59
  the band, the Nebraska game, Oh my God, I don't know how to
• 24:03
  characterize that level of intensity.
• 24:07
  So, and you know what? I bring that up because that's
• 24:09
  what it'll be like tonight. I hope so.
• 24:12
  Oh, it will be. It will be most game probably.
• 24:17
  They'll have a a decided advantage, I believe in
• 24:20
  attendance, but it's not going to be anything like Oklahoma
• 24:23
  City. I mean, talk about taking over a
• 24:24
  building, though. Iowa just went through that in
• 24:27
  Tampa. The game around before
• 24:29
  themselves in a road environment.
• 24:30
  What's the anticipation? You've been down there, people
• 24:33
  traveling. Look, they had two decades and
• 24:35
  not going to a bowl game. They've never won an NCAA
• 24:37
  tournament game. They got a lot of money that has
• 24:39
  saved up throughout the years. What do you anticipate, though?
• 24:42
  Joking aside, zip, how many Hustler fans are going to make
• 24:45
  it? What?
• 24:46
  What? What are you talking about?
• 24:48
  No chats? No chats.
• 24:48
  Truth. Not so subtle.
• 24:54
  I It is hard to figure now. Kenny might remember the name
• 24:59
  Joseph Duarte. Yeah.
• 25:01
  I do. He worked for the Houston
• 25:03
  newspaper and he said that Houston is there.
• 25:07
  There's some concerns. Houston fans are not fervent.
• 25:09
  It's a it's a extraordinary basketball program.
• 25:13
  But he thought that there was some concern that Nebraska fans
• 25:16
  would buy some Houston tickets up and push its number up a
• 25:20
  little higher. It's who?
• 25:22
  I don't know. I mean, there's I think for all
• 25:25
  the speculation, I think it could get to 7000, something
• 25:30
  like that. It's a 19,000 seat arena, maybe
• 25:35
  more than that. Nothing.
• 25:37
  Yeah. I don't.
• 25:37
  I can't imagine a scene like Oklahoma City that seemed like a
• 25:43
  one off, but these fans are loud.
• 25:49
  They'll be. It'll be interesting.
• 25:51
  What? What don't you think Iowa fans
• 25:53
  will cut into it though? Not to the extent of Nebraska.
• 25:57
  No, Nebraska's going to have an advantage.
• 25:58
  There'll be Illinois fans in there.
• 25:59
  The question is, who are the Houston and Illinois fans going
• 26:02
  to be rooting for Iowa or Nebraska?
• 26:04
  Because that's always a big part of the NCAA Tournament.
• 26:07
  I, I know I got to explain that to you guys over there, but
• 26:09
  yeah, this is always something that happens is the opposing fan
• 26:12
  bases inside the building and I have no clue.
• 26:15
  Illinois fans hate Iowa. Houston probably doesn't have a
• 26:19
  skin in the game, but who would you rather face, the nine seed
• 26:21
  or the four seed? Well, I think usually the
• 26:25
  underdog is the yeah, I want a second.
• 26:29
  Usually the underdog would get the I would get the the louder
• 26:33
  cheers, the more fans. But Nebraska as even as a four
• 26:38
  seed could be sort of interpreted as an underdog in
• 26:42
  some ways, just not, not not pure matchup wise, but just
• 26:46
  history wise, right? I mean, Nebraska is this kind of
• 26:50
  this it's a story, you know, they never won an NCAA
• 26:53
  tournament game. And now here they are, one game
• 26:55
  from the Elite 8. So I I don't know how that'll
• 26:58
  go. It's hard to.
• 26:59
  It's hard to, I don't know. Sip, I want to go back to the
• 27:03
  Vandy game. Did you I don't know where you
• 27:05
  were if you were still courtside at that that time, Did you think
• 27:08
  the ball was in the the last second heave Vivandy after
• 27:12
  Nebraska taken a 2 point lead? Did you think it was in?
• 27:15
  It sure looked like it was on the right path.
• 27:20
  It's happened all too fast for me to assess it that way.
• 27:23
  OK, I can't, I can't really say that.
• 27:27
  I don't know. I don't know what my brain was
• 27:29
  telling me. I no, I mean, it went out and
• 27:32
  that was it for me. It was odd.
• 27:35
  That was an odd moment of time, you know, when that it was down.
• 27:40
  I mean, like it did. It was then it came out.
• 27:44
  But yeah, it doesn't. You seldom seem like that, that
• 27:49
  that it goes down that far then comes out, if that makes sense.
• 27:51
  But it was a moment that game was, I mean, I don't know what
• 27:59
  psychological damage to this fan base would have been had that
• 28:03
  shot on. And I don't even want to think
• 28:04
  about. I mean, and then the reason I
• 28:08
  bring that up is because it's sort of the same thing today.
• 28:11
  If Nebraska is denied, there's a lot of people they have a hard
• 28:16
  time with the notion of losing to Iowa.
• 28:20
  Including your Co host. I heard that little piece from
• 28:22
  earlier in the week that that of all the things Iowa stands in
• 28:26
  their way. I thought that was a great clip
• 28:27
  on your on your station's ex account.
• 28:31
  Oh yeah, the Iowa thing is really over here.
• 28:34
  It always get the feeling it's a little more real over here than
• 28:36
  over there, but I. Think it's growing, Has it?
• 28:40
  Yeah. So we got a lot of rivals, too.
• 28:42
  That's true. I mean, I tell this to Ken.
• 28:44
  Yeah, I tell this to Ken all the time because he's only lived in
• 28:47
  Des Moines. I've lived in different parts of
• 28:49
  the state growing up. For me, it was Minnesota.
• 28:52
  When I was at Iowa, there was a lot of Chicago people, and
• 28:55
  Illinois became a big rivalry there.
• 28:56
  If you're in Dubuque, it's Wisconsin.
• 28:59
  Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Absolutely.
• 29:00
  Yeah, it's Nebraska over there. But it's it's so dependable.
• 29:03
  And who would be Nebraska's second rival?
• 29:09
  Wisconsin, I would say, yeah. And even that one kind of feels
• 29:13
  like a stretch. Right now, distant, distant,
• 29:15
  distant. I mean, it's really distant.
• 29:20
  That's yeah, it'd probably be Wisconsin.
• 29:22
  Sip I don't know how Kel Jacobson was able to muster up
• 29:26
  that game, the final game of the regular season.
• 29:28
  I go back to that overtime game when Iowa came back to to to tie
• 29:34
  the game and to send it to overtime.
• 29:35
  Kel Jacobson was unbelievable in that game.
• 29:39
  I guess he's in X Factor again, but I'm or or is he who has to
• 29:44
  who has to other than the obvious Sanford and you know,
• 29:47
  Sam Hoiberg have to has to do what he does.
• 29:49
  Who's The X Factor on Nebraska for this team to get to the
• 29:52
  next? I believe it's Frager.
• 29:55
  He had six points apiece in the first two games.
• 29:59
  It's Braden Frager, who's a 6th man and he's ultra talented.
• 30:03
  He'd start at most places and he just wasn't.
• 30:07
  He really struggled in the in the second go round with Iowa.
• 30:11
  There was this photo of him on the bench alone while the rest
• 30:15
  of the team huddled. It was he was just really down
• 30:19
  on himself. He didn't play particularly well
• 30:22
  in the game in Iowa City, but but I think he's their second
• 30:25
  best player. I got to be careful because it's
• 30:29
  Stanford first. Then it's either Sam or it
• 30:32
  depends what you're looking for. Frager's really explosive and
• 30:35
  strong. He's he's bouncy.
• 30:38
  He gives Nebraska more athleticism than anybody.
• 30:41
  He's super athletic. You've seen him.
• 30:43
  He's he's tomahawk dunk guy. He's he's big, strong kid and he
• 30:51
  he's played really, he played really well against Bandy pretty
• 30:55
  well against Troy. He didn't play very well for a
• 30:59
  stretch late in the season. So I think it's him.
• 31:03
  I really believe it's Fragger. Fragger can get you 15 plus.
• 31:06
  I would say good luck to the Hawkeyes.
• 31:08
  You know if if everything else is pretty standard.
• 31:12
  When you flip it the other way, you look at Iowa, they've done a
• 31:15
  really good job in both games. I I think against starts he got
• 31:18
  off a little bit more at home, but certainly not over in
• 31:21
  Lincoln. What do you, what's the thing
• 31:23
  that does concern you from the Iowa side?
• 31:25
  Is there a guy, a player, just a match up, something that they do
• 31:28
  that does leave you a little concerned?
• 31:30
  They've evolved. I mean, I think they've, I think
• 31:32
  that team has evolved. Now you you guys know better
• 31:35
  than me, but from my vantage point, this team Iowa has
• 31:39
  evolved since Nebraska played them and I was sitting and I was
• 31:44
  sitting you know, they had lost that was an 8 games that ended
• 31:47
  an 8 game stretch where Iowa lost six games, six of eight.
• 31:52
  And then it I don't know when it happened, but it looked like it
• 31:57
  in Lincoln. Now some of it is what Nebraska
• 32:01
  did, but stirs just was more deferential.
• 32:03
  He deferred like he he he wasn't as bald dominant.
• 32:08
  I mean, there's times he'd run me a Luca before that he had so
• 32:11
  bald. He was so bald dominant, you
• 32:13
  know, and then all of a sudden he wasn't.
• 32:16
  So getting to the concerns. I'll tell you what concerns me
• 32:19
  is after watching Iowa in Lincoln, you know, I know they
• 32:23
  lost in overtime and then watching Iowa against Florida,
• 32:27
  it's these other guys. Cooper, Koch, Combs played KL
• 32:32
  Combs played really well in Lincoln.
• 32:34
  Banks was extraordinary against Iowa.
• 32:37
  I, you know, I think at 20, right, 26 if I remember and that
• 32:42
  that those guys, it's sort of the rest of them, particularly
• 32:47
  Koch and Banks. I thought in Iowa City Banks
• 32:52
  level of defense kind of set the tone.
• 32:55
  He's really defense. I mean, I don't know if he
• 32:57
  depends like that all the time. Sure did that night.
• 33:00
  Oh my God, it was scary. I I wouldn't want him in front
• 33:04
  of me in any circumstance. So I these no, I was hey, man,
• 33:10
  they got my attention. They got my attention in
• 33:13
  Lincoln. Well, they got my attention in
• 33:15
  Iowa City. I was, I was Nebraska couldn't
• 33:17
  do anything offensively. They were having trouble making
• 33:20
  passes against Iowa City in that game.
• 33:23
  They were, I mean, Rink looked like he had the hands of a deer.
• 33:28
  I don't know what was going on. I mean, it was like he couldn't
• 33:30
  grab the ball, couldn't dribble. I the pressure out was enormous.
• 33:34
  Did not you did not see that pressure in Lincoln, though.
• 33:37
  I don't what I was, that's one thing I was taken by.
• 33:40
  But against Florida, you saw a well-rounded team and that kid
• 33:44
  that hit the shot was, what's his name, Fulgaris.
• 33:49
  I he was only two for seven in Lincoln.
• 33:51
  And I'm not Hubie Brown and I don't pretend to be, but I saw
• 33:55
  something. He moves really well for a 6
• 33:58
  foot 10 guy. He's only two for seven against
• 34:00
  Nebraska, but it was in my mind like that kid's going to be
• 34:04
  good. And then he got pretty good
• 34:06
  late. Love you went old school with
• 34:07
  Hubie Brown. Absolutely.
• 34:08
  I'm not surprised by with our demographic that that's where
• 34:11
  you went with. That you mentioned, fool Garris,
• 34:13
  Iowa is, I believe, 16 in one this year when he scores double
• 34:16
  figures. He's trouble.
• 34:20
  I mean, he looks good shooting it, but he also looks good going
• 34:22
  to the basket and when he when he when he gets downhill, it's
• 34:27
  it's pretty impressive. Close game sip.
• 34:30
  How do you see it? Oh yeah, really close.
• 34:32
  I don't even know how to. I don't.
• 34:34
  It's one of those games that feels almost too close to call.
• 34:36
  I think Nebraska. Kenny, I'm going to invoke a
• 34:41
  horse race term I've been using over here.
• 34:43
  Nebraska kind of rebroke, you know, they you know, sometimes a
• 34:47
  horse will re break and they kind of did that now just sort
• 34:51
  of Iowa, but Nebraska is kind of the Nebraska of the first those
• 34:56
  first two games when it was really playing.
• 35:00
  That's the kind of the version you're going to see.
• 35:02
  I mean they seems like they found themselves against Troy
• 35:06
  like really well against Troy in the first round and played
• 35:09
  really, really well against Fandy.
• 35:12
  I like Nebraska by an edge, not just because I'm over here.
• 35:16
  I just think they've they've and I think their defense sets them
• 35:20
  apart. They play a little better
• 35:21
  defense than Iowa. You know, when you go back to
• 35:23
  the season that Nebraska had that that that tough time that
• 35:27
  they had, if you take a look at it at at Michigan, home to
• 35:31
  Illinois and then at Purdue, that to three games when they
• 35:34
  lost three of their four games. So the the heavy heads of the
• 35:37
  Big 10 shared the court with them when it didn't go their
• 35:40
  way. Sip.
• 35:41
  It's going to be a fascinating game.
• 35:42
  It really is. I think it's an absolute coin
• 35:44
  flip. Can make a case for Iowa, can
• 35:46
  make a case for Nebraska. Can't wait to see it go at 6:30.
• 35:50
  One of these two teams is going to play on Saturday.
• 35:53
  Just remarkable. Sip, thanks for doing this, pal.
• 35:56
  Appreciate it. As always, Enjoy the game
• 35:58
  tonight, 93.7 mornings over in Lincoln and a full recap at
• 36:02
  Husker Illustrated part of on three media.
• 36:05
  SIP Thanks for popping on pal. Yeah, you guys are the best.
• 36:08
  I mean that. Take care.
• 36:09
  Good to talk. Stephen M Simple from over in
• 36:12
  Lincoln. Interesting for his perspective.
• 36:14
  He picked. He picked Nebraska.
• 36:17
  Is every prediction that SIP has made on our radio show has been
• 36:19
  wrong gone well? Well, you say they're going to
• 36:21
  go into Iowa City and throttle them.
• 36:22
  I think it's something wrong along those terms.
• 36:24
  Before the before the game this year, you mean?
• 36:27
  Yeah, Football or basketball? Basketball, he said in Iowa,
• 36:29
  wins that 1 by 5. Back before the season,
• 36:32
  Nebraska's got a better offensive line than Iowa.
• 36:35
  They got SEC Lake receivers so sip predictions I loved to hear
• 36:41
  that music to. I think probably to most of the
• 36:44
  audience feels the same way. Maybe outside of the Husker fans
• 36:47
  and. There's more in the state than
• 36:49
  there are, absolutely. Yes.
• 36:50
  Especially now that we're over in Western.
• 36:52
  Part of the state, no doubt. So you talked about tip times a
• 36:56
  little bit earlier. Yes, for the weekend you mean.
• 36:58
  For the Elite Eight games, this is what it was a year ago and I
• 37:01
  haven't seen anything definitive, so it's.
• 37:03
  Probably close, right? I would.
• 37:05
  Think so, unless they flipped CBS, but I don't think so.
• 37:07
  They normally have that Sunday window.
• 37:10
  So the game Saturday last year on TBS we're at 5:00 and then
• 37:14
  8730. And that's central.
• 37:16
  Central Time? Yep, 5:00 and then 7:30 on
• 37:19
  Sunday. Then back on CBS it was 120 and
• 37:22
  4:00. Those were the 2 tip times.
• 37:24
  So anticipate they would be the same this year.
• 37:29
  I don't think anything has changed that I can think of.
• 37:31
  And we know CBS wants that window leading into 60 Minutes.
• 37:34
  Sure they do and they get what they want because they are still
• 37:37
  the primary holder of this. And we also saw the TV numbers
• 37:41
  as we just talked about a little bit earlier, what a big, big gap
• 37:44
  that and Kevin? Harlan has the game tonight.
• 37:46
  Did I? Did I see that earlier in the
• 37:47
  week? That sounds right.
• 37:48
  I think it's Harlan. Harlan and Hummel.
• 37:52
  Yes, wow. Trent's plays of the day are
• 37:55
  next. Circus sports, sponsors those.
• 37:59
  We'll hear who he's playing tonight.
• 38:01
  When we come back, it's the Iowa sports.
• 38:03
  Radio Network wrap it up a Sweet 16 edition of Miller and Condon
• 38:07
  on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 38:09
  Trent Condon running solo for the final.
• 38:11
  Ken had to duck out a couple minutes early, but I got my
• 38:14
  picks of the day coming up for you here today.
• 38:16
  Watching some baseball this afternoon in early lead as the
• 38:20
  Pirates and Paul scheme get absolutely obliterated as he
• 38:23
  doesn't make it out of the first inning.
• 38:25
  Cubs are underway as well as a trail moving into the top of the
• 38:29
  third one. Nothing.
• 38:31
  That's with the lead on that one on a solo home run a little bit
• 38:34
  earlier on from Joey A Weimer with the blast as a Matthew Boyd
• 38:40
  got the opening day start for the Cubs.
• 38:42
  Well, my Twins are starting here, coming up here in about,
• 38:44
  oh, what, 13 minutes or so? In fact, that is one of my plays
• 38:48
  of the day. Also underway, a couple of our
• 38:50
  regional teams, the White Sox have skated out to A1.
• 38:54
  Nothing lead over the Brew Crew in Milwaukee.
• 38:57
  In fact, this might be my only day for optimism, you know,
• 39:00
  spring, spring, whatever the eternal hit.
• 39:04
  I have no optimism, as I think any of you know about this team
• 39:08
  and what this squad is for the Minnesota Twins this year.
• 39:11
  But I like them today, even with the Tyler O'Neill angle, who is
• 39:15
  homered in six consecutive opening days.
• 39:18
  By the way, looking for the best price, I shopped around and
• 39:21
  where did I find it? Yes, that Circus Sports plus 325
• 39:25
  the price you can get on a Tyler O'Neill home run if you're going
• 39:28
  to jump aboard with that. I'm going to play the Twins
• 39:30
  today plus 1/22. I'm going to grab them on the
• 39:34
  money line and then after that I can probably fade them the rest
• 39:36
  of the season and might be a very profitable endeavor in the
• 39:40
  Twins rebuild that is going to be continuing here in the coming
• 39:43
  months. A couple other plays of baseball
• 39:45
  tonight. I got Boston going to lay the
• 39:46
  -152. It's crochet.
• 39:48
  It was just such an absolute stud.
• 39:51
  What what happened here with earlier with Paul Skeens.
• 39:53
  Maybe that should pull me off that one a little bit.
• 39:55
  We'll lay the -152 with the bow socks and the Rangers tonight
• 39:59
  plus plus plus 138. Excuse me on that front.
• 40:02
  Then a base. Prop this evening, a pitcher,
• 40:04
  prop Yamamoto under 16 1/2 outs. We're going to play that one
• 40:09
  this evening to the Sweet 16. Gimme Purdue.
• 40:12
  I'm going to lay the 7 1/2. I think you've heard me mention
• 40:15
  that through out paid a little extra, but it going to jump on
• 40:18
  with Illinois plus the 3 1/2 that spreads just going up there
• 40:21
  a little bit too much -118 with the 3 1/2 with the Elidi.
• 40:24
  And finally Iowa, Nebraska. This is what you call an
• 40:30
  emotional hedge. I'm going to take the Huskers.
• 40:34
  Going to take Nebraska in my pick.
• 40:37
  Minnesota. Excuse me, Nebraska by this. 1
• 40:40
  1/2 here. The Hawkeyes fall.
• 40:43
  Got a little extra money in my account.
• 40:44
  If they win, I will gladly pay for a Hawkeye victory in my
• 40:49
  Circus Sports Iowa app. That'll do it for today.
• 40:51
  Back at it tomorrow again, We will be live at Buffalo Wild
• 40:54
  Wings on Merle Hay. Stop on out opportunity for you
• 40:58
  to win a Ben McCollum sign basketball, TJ Otzlberger sign
• 41:02
  basketball. Merle Hay Buffalo Wild Wings.
• 41:04
  The boys, they are out at Dave and Buster's.
• 41:07
  They're coming up next right here on the Iowa Sports Radio
• 41:09
  Network.
