• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Alright, Michelle 5th straight win for Franken, how they look tonight.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: They looked really good, I told Coach for props and after the game that I thought that they were really starting to play well, which is for a boy's team.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then this and the time of the year that you really want to start playing well and really start connecting, so you can just continue to build momentum into the tournament, which is just about a month away.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: They look good.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll take it.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think for them, I think break-ins improvement rise you want to say.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you can trace it back to black nickel.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Blake Nickham is, on both ends of the court, he is just a- he's a tone-setter.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: He knocked down three tonight and had stills, he had deflections, he had nice passes.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I think my favorite play and one of my favorite price can be my favorite transition play of the year so far.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it is so far and maybe end up in the season.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nick can pull down a rebound, the other end, or turn over a camera, but he outlated to Ash the Brobs who just raised down the court, and he got it and Ash didn't win up in the air.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And really, in fact, coming down, he did a touch pass to trade Bennett who ran the floor down the, and he just laid it in, there was a fountain and one.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was, it was a textbook pretty fast break break.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: One, two packs.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And tonight, 23 points on 7 of 11 shooting, 4 for 7 from the 3 point line, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and a steel.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a game.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know what, and I'm saying, I know they probably stacked him for a seal.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure sure they didn't miss one or two seals.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the right.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he wanted to flex for this, too.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of energy and, you know, he even a fouling out of the game.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: He picked up, he picked up two fouls.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: give me a third quarter to get forward, had to set and, no amount, Melvin was in found trouble with a whole game and he ended up fouling out too, but Nick and his just so good, and I think what he's done and him being able to not get up or set, he like birch tonight.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, he, his threes, he hit three or four of them, and that I've only hit nothing but net, just switched the net softly.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was, it was pretty stroke.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: And the one guy who struggled tonight shooting, of course, was Ashton Braxton, one for 12 from the field.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: But even he had 10 rebounds and six assists.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: And as he gets better, this team's gonna continue to get better.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I actually talked to Brick tonight after the game, and I told him, I said, he's gonna, he said he would go back on the film, and he's gonna look, because he's had a tendency to do it.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Ashton's problem tonight was,
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's so tall and spittingly leg, he's like a cold.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it was like, he was, makes it, but when he went, he went, he went forward, lean forward, kind of stuck his butt out, and he shot and was more pushing it than shooting it.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that was his problem tonight.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: He missed some lands, but it's because he really didn't use the backboard.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: This kid, when in another year too, when he gets powerful and strong, he's not gonna be a land.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's just gonna go in there and flush it.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: and he is going to be a very good player.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a really good freshman right now, but he still pissed that's basketball ahead of him.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: When I really like your show about the way they're playing is defense, they are sharing the basketball and they really go after rebounds particularly to a minute.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they do.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Asked in drops and was really on the boards tonight too, and battling it.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Stanbury had a, and he didn't shoot very well in the night either, but he still had a nice game.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: The way they moved the basketball away, they shared the basketball off.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's nice to see it.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the one thing they've done well all year, even.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: even when they opened the season to get their tough schedule, you know, and struggled at times, they still did a nice job of sharing a basketball.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Their problem was their turnovers at, you know, that stage.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they look good at night and I want to touch on Tristan's intro for just a moment.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nice for them is they really, they finally have JJ Koviep, Koviep back here.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: miss some time with an injury to where he wasn't even able to practice him coach hot cam hiding in the night said that uh
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: You could tell a difference in the gym the first day that Jankovia was actually able to return to practice, to practice.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: He said it was the, everything in our gym got better.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the intensity got better, harder just because it's his senior leadership.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: He said that's what we missed the most when he was out with his injury.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he had trained better and had a nice little battle inside tonight.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Things have rustled for tricentral this year with injuries, hasn't it?
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it has a Cooper line of yours back.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a he missed time with his foot issue.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: They just try Central is not very deep at all.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: They really are not deep at all.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're a team that they put it all together.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: They'll be fine.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're biggest problem is their very guard are all short.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Logan Sergeant.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cooper line here and Brody Arnold hit some big threes for them tonight, but they're all sure and Brent has Ted told me after the game that their part of their gate plan was he was going to let them dribble drive because he felt like their length and their size it went to hurt it and it didn't.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean because that collapsing that length they blocked shots if they tried to shoot it instead of pass it.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: They deflected it sometimes they just I think drops them.
• 7:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: one time, just reached out as long arm, and, uh, crowd.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Who played well for Tristan's overnight besides Jay, Michelle?
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Loving Sergeant also played well for them tonight.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jim Koviex Sergeant, um, Arnold Cooper line you only had two points, but he did a nice job of handling the ball a little bit, um, and then the DS had eight, was active, um,
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: but tricentral still, you know, now Jacobiac back and lining your back there still have to kind of reconnect on the floor.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they'll be okay by the time the tournament comes and maybe they could be a tough out, especially if they're hitting shots.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Michelle, thank you so much for your time, everybody.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Go listen to Michelle on my new daily podcast, Reagan is friends talk sports.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be talking IU, Pacers, wrestling, and a little Frank Dintroy Central Basketball.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks so much, Michelle.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you're welcome, Greg.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Always a pleasure.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: central Indiana sports fan in your life.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back coach.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is five wins in a row, back to back double weekends.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Your thoughts on the way your team is playing after a big win at Tri-Central.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think we're playing well.
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: Tonight, we had offensively really played well.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: We had 20 assists, looking skewed.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I think that our tonight, we lacked a little bit in our transmission defense.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: I was disappointed in it.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: I was disappointed a little bit in our half court man.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought it could have been better coming off of a double weekend.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: You need to play Friday so you're not sure how that affects the legs a little bit Saturday, but the bottom line is those two things needed to be better, but we did pass the ball well.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: We had 20 assists, 10 turnovers, so I like that.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: I see in that part of the game, and I thought those two nice wins this weekend for us.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a game you controlled, but the way your defense has been playing, it was not quite up to the same quality of the last few games.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: I just didn't think we'd do a great job of keeping people in front of us, and I also didn't think we did a particularly good job of our transits defense, so those would be a couple things that we're going to need to hit early next week to kind of get back on track with, but from an offensive standpoint, we're sure the basketball really well, we're moving the ball well, and that was good to see, so that was a real positive out of this game, but every game you're looking for things to get better at, and
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: We've got things to get better at.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, one thing that's definitely gotten better is whatever your senior's Blake Nickham.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's been outstanding.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: Early in the season, he kind of came off the betchest to six man in the first couple of games, but pretty much pruned within the first couple of games that he could be off the floor and he's one of our top players, top scores.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's just hard to even find him as hard to be off the floor, because he's playing so well.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, try to get him a breather here in there because he plays so hard.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's really,
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: have any light birch or really two guys that the kids now days I think should take them off, take a page out of their book, both kids play Jamie last year a little bit, a first play quite a bit of Jamie as a junior and so the neck and the knee that one of a complaint which is you don't always get that now days and
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: Both kids this year have moved into their senior year and Blake Nichols playing like an all conference player.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: And Eli Berks is one of the best leaders I've had in all 18 years.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: I've been at Franklin's great for those kids, great for Nick and really proud of them.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: Just again, there are two kids that didn't really worry about themselves.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: They've always worried about the program and they've moved themselves up from last year to this year and elevated their game to another level.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: and Blake 23 points tonight.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: And with him, it usually starts on the defense of him though.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, his defense is just outstanding.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he gets into passing lines.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: He defense well in the half court.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: And he's just been tremendous defensively for a small year.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he's turned that defense into a lot of runs for your team.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's not only defending at a high level now, he's putting up 15 to 20 points per game almost consistently for us, so shooting the ball at a high level and he's really elevated to another level.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: And obviously we're super happy to see that for him and for our team.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then single game this week at home, midweek game, what do you want to see from your team against the tri-titons at home?
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be a very difficult game.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're 11 and 4.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: They played really close with some teams.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: They started out, I think, eight now.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: They've got a really good ball team.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: They put pressure on you, the entire game.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be, we're just obviously now getting to watch film on them and be getting ready for this game.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: But they're going to process some challenges that we have not seen this year.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: And up tempo, pressure, type team.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's going to be a difficult challenge.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: And now we hit February.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think this is one of the most important months of the season.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: This was where you want to be playing your best basketball.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like in our program it's always been that way.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: I've been before I coach.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think Franklin's been known to be playing their best basketball, coming sectional time, and it always been a tough out for people.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we're moving in the right direction.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be a tough team to beat, come sectional tournament time.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: And that's what we want to be.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I bet it was good to hear Michelle Garmin again.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely great to see her.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: And Bob, she was there at the game and able to be there.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: and she and I will be talking about IU basketball, the Pacers, wrestling and franken tries to control basketball on my new podcast, Greg and his friends, talksports.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for your time, Brent.
• 13:59
