• 1:18
  Speaker 3: kind of sad, but the team's responding well and we're
• 1:24

• 1:26
  Speaker 3: of the year.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: The defense has looked fantastic this year.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you Dak.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah you have not watched his play once one time
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: for about half a quarter.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: But yeah, now life, life's been going great. This is
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: getting into my favorite time of the sports season. It's
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: starting to the last two or three weeks. College basketball
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: leading into March Madness is awesome, Like it's starting to
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: feel like every game is a big game and this
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: is yeah, this this is when I get into college
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: by that's one big time.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We're in the thick of it, that's for sure. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: was just talking the other day with someone that I said,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the best time of the year, one of the best
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: times of the year, if not the best, is kind
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: of from state tournament in high school through the Masters week.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You know, that six week span is doesn't get.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Much better than that. You know, you could argue to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: start a football season.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: But naha, but then football comes around, We'll say that's
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: the best.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Time of the year.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: So well, that's true.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: And in the moment right now, March Madness.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Is where do we begin today?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think we got to talk some basketball obviously,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: been a little bit of football talk, although I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: we're all in the same.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Boat where the interest there is hell a.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Little bit lo So do they do they start springing
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: practice today?
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Then I saw somewhere, I saw somewhere they have their
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: first interviews today, and I don't know if it's tomorrow
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: or today.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: They start springing practice.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But that tells you where my interest is that I am.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, I just I just saw that last
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: night that they said there's a little interest in. There's
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: interviews tomorrow and practice starts some you know sometime soon.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: It starts.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: DA told me yesterday he knows our starting quarterback for
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: next year. So that's good.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, according to according to the ticket, it's gonna be
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Dan Danny Kaleny. Give him a shot because he because
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: he's he's smart, and he's played football a lot.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: That's basically was all they said.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't think that's the best option, but
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: sure rolled out there.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: By this point, who really cares?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I haven't football. I mean baseball and softball started.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I haven't. I mean that's how love football is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Horizon, Yeah, Bold Baseball and softball are also in swing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Could be playing in Nebraska with the with the weather
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that we've had here lately.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the softball team already has wins over
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the number one two different number one teams. Yes, they have,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: so that's exciting.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: As the one thing I got to say about the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: softball team is I did not know Jordi Ball got
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: married and so I was so confused.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, where did she go?
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And I had, I had.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I was like, why is she not on the team?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And then I'm like, oh, there's another Jeordy. I'm like, oh, no,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: she got married, sure not, Yeah she did.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: So that was.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: That was the same way I was.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: I was like, who is this pitching for the Huskers?
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: She's pretty good?
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Well we should just should be that's funny. Yeah, So
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: they've had a good start. The men, I don't remember
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: how they they've had decent start too, have three and one.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yep, we we wont a few games to start the year.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So been good. I mean we start there, well we don't.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: You know, we don't talk a lot of baseball softball, but.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: When the softball team has two wins over a number
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: one team in the country, you kind of got to
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: mention it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: So, yes, you're gonna talk about a gallon to start
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: the year.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Though, jeez, that's the hardest, gotta be the hardest ten
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: game stretch ever started season.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Notice, yeah, I don't follow college in softball, but I
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: was like looking at the terms, like, jeez, they got
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: only only good ball ball teams down there, Like you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Know what I think they kind of wanted that. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: think this team that is. I mean, obviously with scheduling,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you have some say in what you can't you do
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you want to play, and I think they kind of
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: wanted that a little bit at you know, we're ranked
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: in the top ten the softball team is.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: And that gives you, that gives you a little leeway
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: as far as you know lass you can get you
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: start out.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: That hu correct, And I think you want to play
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the competition. You want to see where you're at, you know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And I think we've kind of shown, you know, we're
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: worthy of a top twenty five team, and we've you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: we've obviously beat two different number one teams. We've lost
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: a couple of games in there as well, but you
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: know we're worthy of being in that conversation.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: And clearly after the first.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Few games of the year, Okay, enough softball talk. Good
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: for us though, Way to go guys, great job.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Hell they're got to basketball right the first time.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to talk about basketball because of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: how things have gone.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But Uscars are on a little skidd here after starting
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the year twenty and oh, we are now twenty two
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and four. We've lost four of our last six and
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: most recently as of last night. Late last night, a
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: fifty two to fifty seven loss to the team to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the East, Iowa Hawkeyes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I okay, one, I want to start. I'm not gonna
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: let the little skid. We went a good season. We knew,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: we kind of knew there were moments where we had
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: hopes for Actually, we kind of knew once we started
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: twenty No, it was probably a two or three seed.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: And that's where it's still kind of looking. Iowa on
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: the road was it was ranked as one of our
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: tougher games left. I think it was ranked higher than
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: the Purdue game at home as far as difficulty. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: could be remembering that wrong. We have since Frager and
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Mask came back. We just look a little I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: say flat, but we are scoring droughts are more frequent,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: and I don't know if that's just because Frager seems different.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I could be interpreted and wrong. I'm happy to hear
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: you guys here. I'm not gonna again. I don't want
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: to overreact because we lost to Iowa essentially by three.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: We ended up falling with like seven seconds left and
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: that's how they got their five and then we lost
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: in overtime to Purdue after being down twenty two at home,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: and then we lost to Michigan by three after we
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: led the game for thirty nine minutes, and then we
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: lost to Illinois at home, which I think what's coming
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: to Fruition, especially with the Illinois game, was just the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: size when teams are big. If I had a oh
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: my gosh last night, if I had to watch Iowa
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: in an offensive rebound more freaking time, I was gonna
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: throw my freaking laptop at the wall. It was just maddening.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: The offensive rebounds are killing us. That was my brief
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: little We haven't talked since I remember when, but yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot to unpacked there.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: There's uh, definitely some good teams in the Big Ten.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: We know that, and we've played every game very very close.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Uh it's unlike some of these other teams, even at
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the top, they've had some some blowouts, so.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: They've all been obviously close games.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I think that if you want to open up the
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: bigger conversation, it's what are the expectations of this team?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And yes, it's been a really good season, right, and.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And we even got all the way up to that
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: one seed line for a little bit there when when
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: we were rolling undefeated, and who knows where we'll end up.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I mean I think you know you mentioned the two
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: or three seed. I you know, I see a lot
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: more four seeds now. I mean, depending on how the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: season ends up, you could probably still fall a little
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: bit more, could also come back up to a two seed,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: depending on how thing's end. So, yeah, it's been a
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: good year, and you can't take that away. I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: think there's not going to be much that could happen
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: here for it not to be a good year worldwhile
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: losing a lot of games and not winning a first
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: round of the NCAA tournament, that would that would that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: would have that would answer that question. But I don't
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: think we're there yet. I do think you're saying a
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: lot of things that are being exploited now. You mentioned
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the the Mass and Fragger injuries. Mass illness and Fragger's
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: ankle that happened a couple of games ago. They are
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: now back and playing, but but things just have seemed
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a little bit off than than what they were used
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to and I don't know that's all because of injury.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I think you're also at a point in the year
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: where teams have good scouting.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Reports and then they is not what it was at
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the year that curl up around the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: screen where he basically get any three people have figured
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: that out and that is not there anymore.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I mean just Price in general, I would say just
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: his ability to shoot and drive. You know, he's he's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: obviously not the most athletic individual, but he has some strengths.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And I say athletic quick, I guess, and and you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: so as an example, but I think you can go
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: down the list of our team's strengths and what they're
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: really really good at in tendencies, and I think just
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: teams have a better idea of what we're trying to
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: do right now, which which then now falls back on
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: UH coach Hoyburg and and you know, the offensive side
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: of the ball to figure out, Okay, how can we
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: continue to be creative with our players that we have
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: to get us some open looks, whether it be from
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the three point line or.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: On the inside.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, you saw Masked like against Rutgers go
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: off and have a really really good game. You know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Northwestern we struggled and then had a good second half.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: So like it again, it's not like things are blowing up,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: but we're seeing some losses now.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Uh, and it's still get Like I said, there are
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: three losses are to the number three Michigan, number nine
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Illinois that we're thirty perdue, and then Iowa on their road.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's yeah, a lot of a lot of the
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: flaws are just showing up here.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: It's it's it's terrible.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Like last night last night, Prude, we we basically live
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: and died by the three. It was the worst we've
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: shot by three this season by a while.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: And let's we score for two points. It's it was awful.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: But watching watching the end of that game, I figured
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: out Iowa has their guy they want to go to
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: towards the end of the game. He's gonna take over
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: and that's it. It starts whatever. By the way, man up,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: you were never hurt. Start stop stop thinking r injuries.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: You're never heard. But anyway, who is Nebrassa's go to
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: guy the end the game? I don't have a clue.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: We have multiple guys that can do it, but we
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: don't have the main number one.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I don't feel like if I had this one that said.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Their philosophy is hot hand too. It seems like if
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: they want someone to take the last shot, it's almost
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: always JaMarcus Lawrence. He had at the other the Perdue,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: he had the ball against Daniel Illinois. He had the
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: ball Daniel Iowa.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's JaMarcus Lawrence. I think what we've
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: done is Sam's been the one driving it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: That's true, So.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I do think that's that's could be an issue. I
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: also don't know that that's I don't know it's it's
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: a it's a philosophy thing on what you believe, and yeah, Iowa,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: everybody knows that stirs.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Their guy.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I think we have several guys and I do agree, Yeah, Austin,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: it's kind of the hot hand on who's playing well.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: And I think this team is kind of like that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, cal Jacobson last couple of games has played
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a lot more late over Frager. Like that, that's just
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: kind of the lineup that we've gone with because he's
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: been playing better on both sides of the ball than Frager.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: So I do think there's a piece of that, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: that also is a little bit of Okay, who's going
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: to step up and do it, and JaMarcus is the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: senior that has the experience that the leadership. You can
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: tell he's the one that him and Mass are kind
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: of the two that are leading that charge. So you know, yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I think that's a little bit of a concern. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: also you can see the way our offense runs. It's
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: not like it runs through one guy throughout the course
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: of Again, I'm not talking about late I'm talking about
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the whole game. And you know, it's a little bit
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: of Sandford with a lot of our actions, you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: but but Mast has this time wherever runn our offense
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: through him and then our best driver, Sam, and sometimes
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: it looks like our offense is Sam. Our best offense
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: is same driving the ball and either creating for himself
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: or others. So there's a lot of different pieces there
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: that Again it's good because it makes it hard to guard.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: But also in the same time, towards the end of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the game, you wonder, okay, what what what what? What
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: are we trying to get? What are we looking for?
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it felt like because I was trying to forguretwar
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: think it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: It feels like Mass is probably our go to guy
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: that's what I would say, at least that's who we
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: were trying to end in the game, and he it's
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: it was just frustrating the whole game. And I don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: know if it was the rest went in a player what,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: but just feel like our freepoint guys could never get
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: off anything of them. They they were just all over
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: us the whole game and and I don't know, it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: it just feels like I was I only had more
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: intensity too. I felt like I just feel like we
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: weren't really locked in to start the game.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were at home and there was a top
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: ten matchup, and.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I'll say this, Ben McCollum has done a really good
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: job and he's a good coach at Iowa.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I mean think about some of our games against them.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: They have been very high scoring offensive battles in the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: past when they when they had Fray McCaffrey and neither
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: team could stop be their team. I always had the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: shooters everywhere, you know, the Price Stanford of the.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: World that have kicked our butt.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: And it's an opposite style now with our two teams.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: And then it was a couple of years ago we
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: were the two leading teams in the Big ten of
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: points allowed in conference place so far this year. Iowa
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: being won us too, and so I was evident by
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: the score here and and yeah, they took away what
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: we were comfortable doing, and we didn't shoot it great,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: which was a wasn't a product of us getting wide
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: open looks and makes we got We had a few,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: but a lot of our stuff was very very contested
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: or or deep. And they aint credit to Iowa and
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: everything they do, and you're their intensity and physicality, toughness,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: all of those things.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: That's how they won that game last night.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: And that's frustrating to hear because once again that's what
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: we have felt like our strength has been, why we
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: have had the season that we've had are those things
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and then just like the football team, Iowa comes in
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: and do does those things better than us and beats us,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and you just want to go.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It's frustrating, it's hard. But again, gret to Iolea, like,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not I am.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Not talking bad and saying Iowa no like that that
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: they are they are. I'm impressed by Ben McCallum, like
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: they've done a really good job and I think they're
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: They're now nine and six in conference play, they're not.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They're up there, They're not.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: They've danced around being ranked all year. You know, they
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: were ranked for a little bit. I think at one
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: point they got up to number eighteen in Vegas.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: No Ioa was even ranked last.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Night, yeah, or not ranked favorite? Yeah, No, I had
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: that thought last night. Set. I remember last year when
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: we were having the Fred Hoiberg discussion, one of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: times we were talking about who we'd want instead, and
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I do remember we talked about Ben McCollum as like, okay,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: like it was Will Will Wade and Ben McCollum were
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: kind of the two that we were talking about. We went, so, yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: it just sucks. I don't know if it's just because
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: we need we you know, when we were doing really well,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Franker was getting you know, thirteen twelve, thirteen points off
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: the bench. Some nights he was getting twenty points off
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: the bench, and he's you know, he hasn't looked like
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: that since coming back from the injury. And I mean,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: our size has been just like against Perdue and against
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Illinois and then the offensive rebounding last night. And I
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: don't know if that's a practic size, but I just
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: don't understand why we're never in position to rebound, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: it drives me freaking nuts.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: It feels like we pushed around too.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: So, oh, guys, we're white, Like, yeah, that's I'm sorry
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: to say it, but.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I think are are. We are not the most athletic team.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: We have some length, but we are not super quick
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: and physical from just a pure stature standpoint. I mean,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: you look at our team, your top forty five teams,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: how many of them play. And I'm not I'm not
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: discrediting these guys at all because actually I think Sam's
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: probably one of.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Our best rebounders.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: But like Sam and Kale, like they're what six foot
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: six to one guards that are both playing at the
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: end of the game.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You don't see that in a lot of places.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So again, when they when they're your kind of best rebounder,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: say do the best job of it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Like we we just are lacking.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Just miss is playing, I just wish was playing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: And I think he would help a lot.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think Barrika is a solid rebounder and
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: and does some good things.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: That's obviously one of his strengths.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Mass for a big He's not Matt Mask isn't one
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: of those pigs that can go out and jump out
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of the gym. You know, given his injuries, he's he's
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: a big but he's not. One of his strengths is
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: not rebounding. Price is definitely not big o Bard last night.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that that's becoming more of a glurring issue,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: not just in the Iowa game, but I remember the.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: We could rebound. We had that game one at home,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: after the crazy game that was and the comeback and.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: We missed the free throw.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that game that it was weird,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: We're going our butts kick, so it was like, Nope,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: we don't deserve to win, don't deserve to win, and
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: then we actually could have won, but then missed, couldn't good,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: couldn't finish the game with the rebound. There was the yeah,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the Massi miss free throw after the and one to
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: set it to overtime. So there's a lot of things
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: in that game that you know, if we had a
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: pot after that that we would have went through that
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you didn't feel like we were we should have won
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: that game, but we were in it and had and
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: probably should have won it in the end, but didn't.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: So that that is becoming more of an eye opening thing.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: And here's what's scary. There are teams that match up
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: very very well against US. I think Iowa was kind
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: of one of those teams. And there's teams out there
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: that are going to be sitting on those twelve to
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: fifteen lines that are going to fit those demographics and
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: could cause a lot of problems in the opening round
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: of the turn of it. Now, whether we play one
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: of those teams or not, we will see. If we
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: play one of those high flying, like three point shooting,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: not very tough, but I think we're gonna be okay.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Like I think we're gonna match up well. But if
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: we play one of these like gritty built like size
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: wise defensively and then have just enough shooters, it's not
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: gonna be good.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: So we'll see, you know, in the future on that.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: But this is yeah, that's the type of game you
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: want Nebraska to be in. Is like a fifty in
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: the fifties to low sixties game. That's that's what style
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: you want Nebraska. If you're opponent to play as you
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: don't want to put an up eighty ninety points game,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: then we're just the physicality is a problem. And I
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: don't know what Franker has shot since he came back
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: from injury, but it has to be horrific. I feel
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: like he's not hitting any threes anymore.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: And yeah, he's.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Been a big Burke Burke for the love of god,
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: Can you quit shooting threes?
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: You cannot make them. I don't care how much room
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: they give you.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: Which that's a huge problem too, is how far people
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: say go off on him. That's that's a big problem.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: But just quit shooting them. We know you can't make them.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: There's no shots going in. But yeah, he drives me
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: nuts that he probably had won his better games last
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: night of the season, but yeah, any anytime, and not
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: hitting our threes is shown right now.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: We we're a lot better scouted, right, Like, there were
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of surprises for Husker fans as well.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Breaker was one of those. Samfort being another one of those.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody kind of saw his shooting capabilities
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: until we saw so I think mass shooting abilities too
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: early on in the year was like, oh, well this
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: is we knew we could kind of shoot it, but
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: to that level now he's not quite there again.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's not his threes either lately.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: So it's it's just funny. I just think.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: But you know, you can say they're not making them right,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: but I think there's a big, big reason is because
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: they're they're they're just being guarded a lot differently, like tighter,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: and they know what teams teams have good coaches in
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the Big ten, and they understand what our strengths are
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: and teams are taking that away right now on that
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: side of the ball, and it's leading to some offensive
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: struggles right now. And so yeah, again that's what I said.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: That kind of goes back to the hoy Bergen saying, Okay,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: like now.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Let's find a way to chase the things up.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, if we've had some of these really
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: awesome actions that are now being defended, so now it's
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: time to you know, counter the counter, find find some
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: new things that that'll.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Exploit.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: That are still really good at second half adjustments, I know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: but we've still been good at that. I think looking
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: up the last four games, Fregris hit three threes.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: So what's he shooting in those games three for?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know that out, but not great.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And the good part about it is Fred is
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: good enough coach and he'll figure this out. How to
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: and and then we have that good defense. Nate Lenzer
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: is a hell of a defensive coach. But these it's
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: first halfs are driving crazy too.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: We need to Why don't we come out like we
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: did in the second half.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: In the first half of games, it feels like, oh,
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: we'll always rely on second half to figure our defensive struggles,
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: like I even against Northwestern. Yeah, we we start out
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: slow on the first half. These first halfs are coming
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: back to bias a little bit, like gets Purdue. You
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: can't can't fall down these teams ten to twelve points
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: and expect to come back every time just because our
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: second half events is gonna bail us out.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Oh why do you think that's happening?
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: I I think, like you said, teams have a scouted
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: better to start out and they know we're gonna run
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: and then let me change it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: The second half come out like that. Very good.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: But yeah, but like you said, let's counter them, let's
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: come out, let's come out better.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: In the first half.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: We were not getting killed in the first that's again
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: that side of Purdue. But Purdue came out and shot
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: like I mean, they hit like their first it was
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: like five or six three. You know, that was just
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: a that was an adjustment that we made relatively quick.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: We got down big. We were down like sixteen to
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: three in the first five minutes, and then we you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: we kind of they kind of cooled off and we
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: covered it out. But all things that we have five left,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: they're all very winnable. So we got done.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: We're done.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: We're done with the ranked teams here.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Becomes ranked by the end of it, which possible.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: We go Penn State at home, Maryland at home at
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: USC at u C l A, and then Iowa home
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, March eighth. The target is what I guess
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: for we're again this This is where as a as
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: a Husker basketball fan, you could go down a lot
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: of different roads here to end the year. So let's
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: first start regular season, like where would you like for
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: us to be to set us up into one in
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten tournament, but two into the NCAA tournament.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Uh So we have five games left, obviously someone going
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: off five. If we end three and two, four and one,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: I think that's good enough to get us to the
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: three round or the you know, the triple by or
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: the tournament, which is what I really want for the
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Big Ten Tournament.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: So currently, just to follow that up, Michigan will be
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: getting a first round by at fifteen to one of
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: the conference. Currently there are three teams tied right now
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: at eleven and four US perdue Michigan State in contention
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: for That's what's helped is these other teams are also
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: losing games too. And like we said, the Big Ten conferences, Joe,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: pretty tough top to bottom. You know, I'm not going
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: to go and say it's the toughest conference in the country, but.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: It's up there.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Illinois is right ahead of US at twelve and three
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in the conference. So right now, I mean, if you
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: if you look at it from a tiebreaker standpoint two, we're.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: On that line. I agree, Austin.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: I think that would be a good goal is to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: have that triple by being one of the four teams
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: in the Big Ten tournament to where you basically already
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: locked into the quarterfinals of the tournament. And I mean,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: you said, what what do you what do you think
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: out of these last five games, what do you think
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: that's going to take?
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I think you have to win four?
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Still't Yeah, yeah, I will be I'll be pretty disapported.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: If we don't go four and one, because I fully
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: expected to lose one of those USC UCLA games, anything
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: less than four to one, I'll be real disappointed in.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Because because everything's there. And another thing is if we.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Don't come out and be Iowa by fifteen plus at home,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: that's that's a big one. Come out and just kick
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: their ass next game, especially after after they stormed the court.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: By the way, we can get in this terrible court storming.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: They couldn't even feel the court. They horrible store corn
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: by the Iowa fans. We'll just say that, but come
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: on that game, kill Iowa. You can lose one of
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: the California games. Other than that, I'll be this point
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: in that way in the year.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we should, hopefully games step up
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: and win those. The interesting thing is, you know, we
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: talk about being disappointed or whatever, and I think to
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: me that leads into the NCAA tournament and your thoughts,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: which we talked about, I believe in our last podcast
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: a few weeks ago on what's acceptable, like what what
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: what are what are we wanting as a Husker fan? Uh,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: you know, not that our opinion matters ever, But it's
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: been a fun year and the Rascal basketball has never
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: been in this position that we're in now. And I
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: even said that last night, kind of weird to have
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: a team storm the court after beating us like this
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: dead doesn't that's never happened, which when we've done it
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: on teams too, you know, it's a little bit sign
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: up like, Okay, no, they're good. And obviously we're a
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: top ten team currently with the rankings this week, you know,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: I think we'll be around there around that ten ten
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: mark if we finish a year four and one. So
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: NCA tournament wise goes. Obviously, the higher seed, the better
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get probably your tougher mid majors. The lower
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: you go, and the higher you are, the better matchup
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: you're hopefully gonna get. But you know, I think we're
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: all gonna say right that this team better be winning
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: into a tournament game.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I think anything that better happened.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you lose the tournament game, I'm I mean,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: obviously you're not going to fire Fred after that this
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: kind of season, but I feel like you just you
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: killed any momentum. I mean, it's it's just, what's the
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: point we have a great regular season, if we just
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: ship the bed and when we play big major team
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: in round was a three seed.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Right, I mean, given this is our probably best team
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: ever obviously in our lifetime of watching Nebraska basketball, but
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: you know, even comparing him to some of those other
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: good Nebraska teams in the nineties, you know, I think
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: the highest seed we got there was a sixth seed
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: and we played the University of Pennsylvania and lost that game.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: So you know, from from looking at it on, from
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: that standpoint, I think that's what we should get.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Now after that, I mean, what are your guys' thoughts.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I think I don't want to get ahead of ourselves,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: given we're on a little bit of a struggle bus here, but.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Like your thoughts, I realistically think that we're in sweek
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: sixteen team. Like I said, you look at the games
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: that we've lost. It's against the preseason number one team,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: the currently ranked number one team, and then Illinois, who
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: people think could sneaky be like you know, a real
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: title contender, and then Iowa unfortunately on the road like
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: we and again we were right there perdue mister free
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: throw to take the lead with three seconds left in
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: the game. We led thirty nine minutes against Michigan, Like,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: we're right there. So I really do think we're a
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: sweet sixteen team.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Like not.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Trying to blow smoke up our. I know the last
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: couple of games doesn't feel that way, but they're they're
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: we're playing really good teams, and I think these are
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: the teams you see in this Sweek sixteen, not before.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't got blown out all this year. That
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: that's good. Party is.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: I went to bed last night just mad about basically
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: like we suck. It's We're gonna lose the NCAA tournament,
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to run a half marathon, all this,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: all this stuff. But but then I sat there for
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: a little bad I thought, you know what, they're twenty
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: two and four. They not got blown out at all.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: They really haven't. They have not had a bad loss
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: yet this year. We've been right there in all these games.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: If we just hit our threes and somehow this easier
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: said and done, somehow figure out how to rebound, we're
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: right there. And you don't what, it's still a damn
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: good team.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I'm going to guess that were favored the next five games.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know that for a fact, but
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: I'd be surprised if we weren't favored for.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: The next five.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Maybe at U c l A. I could see, but man,
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: they got born out last.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Night Michigan State. I also saw that Mitt Cronin I
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: just ejected his own player. He did.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: I just didn't see that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah he did.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think so.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I think if you look at you know, the second round,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: given where we're at, you're gonna play a pretty solid team.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think we're probably gonna get to that two
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: seed line. I mean maybe depending on how the Big
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Ten tournament goes, but it's probably mos likely. So you
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: know you're you're gonna be playing four or five six
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: seed team in that second round if you can win
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: that first one, and.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be a good opponent.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: You know, you're looking at teams like Kentucky, You're looking
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: at teams like BYU I've seen in that line.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: You know they're.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough game. And so you know
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: you lose that game.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: We've already beat up b YU, by the way, It's
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: true we did.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: So you lose.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: You know, you lose that game. I think you can
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: still maybe you know, you can say it's been a
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: good year. But Austin, I'm a little more where you're
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: at it. I think given the season that we've had,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: some of the wins that we've shown and things that
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: we've done, it would be a little disappointed not to
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: be a Sweet sixteen team this year.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: And I think that's rightfully.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: So it's a weird thing to say out loud, given
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: how poor we've been, But I don't think we should
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: just be satisfied to say that tournament win. Great, check
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: the box. Now everything else is icing on the cake.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I think we have the team, and we've shown to
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: have the team that we can go a little further
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: this year in the tournament. And I saw something the
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: other day some CBS reporter had us in the fricking
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: National Championship against Illinois like that was his prediction.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: IM.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: But I do think there's things with this team that
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: when things are clicking, we're pretty dang good, and we
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: should be in that conversation.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Right now. Things are not clicking like.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: They were earlier in the year when we had some
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: of those really good wins. Now not to say they
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: were that far off from getting that back, you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: ending the year, these last five games. It's a good
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: they're they're good games to get our rhythm back as
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: we head into postseason play and you're just you're gonna
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: play some good teams.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: So I guess I'd rather have this happen now than
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: in the tournament where people are like, oh, we know
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: how to guard you know Price.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: It really has a nice schedule role, Like if you
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: think about it, starting from the beginning of the year,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: you don't know some of those non conference games, right,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma turns out not to be very good.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Can't turns out Yeah, not great. It's one thing they
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: should have fired him for his comments.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I thought, no, that was ridiculous. Yeah, uh, Creighton, you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: not having one of their better years.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: But then you look at the on the flip side,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: we blow out Wisconsin early in the year.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Who who looks right now?
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, they cracked on the top twenty five.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: You beat Illinois on the road, which still seems to
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: be one of our best wins of the year. You
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: beat Michigan State at home. Uh, you know, you go
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: on the road at Ohio State and Dana and win those.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: So we have some really, really damn good wins up
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: there at the front of the season, and then we
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: knew things were going to get tough, and they did,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: and we have not one all of them.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: We didn't expect to go undefeated.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: But now things kind of lighten up here at the end,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: just from our opponent standpoint. Not none of them are
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: going to be cakewalks, but they're back to winnable games.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Hopefully find a rhythm and stride again because we headed
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: in the Big Ten Tournament in the middle of March.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's the main thing is you can figure
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: out what the problems are in these next five games
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: and coming coming to the Big Ten tournament with some momentum.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: If it started right now, I'd be shipping my pants,
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: like we this be horrible time to start tournament.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: But good parties.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: We still got five more games figured out. Yeah, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: then and then maybe may win a game or two
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: there and going tournament with some momentum. It's here's here's
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: what you gotta think is too. We're talking about Nebraska
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: being on three or four seed line coming the year.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: There are some people that didn't have to Braskal winning
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: three or four Big Ten games like like we it's
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: it's not in the world right now it's teams. Teams
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: go through this a lot in bass money, and I
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: think it's a great time to actually hit the slump.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: If we had lost four games throughout the season and
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: records fight two and four, I feel freaking great. But
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: it just so happens that we've lost four in our last.
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: Six, which which I told you guys coming the year,
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: we will be twenty two and four going into the
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: Penn State game.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Is that what you said? I need to go back
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: and listen to the tape.
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, I was thinking. I was thinking eight
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: nine seed, not a three four seed.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: But I mean we were talking just going five hundred
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: and big ten play. I remember if you said we
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: could win, was it nine of our ten non con
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: games or a the ago five hundred? That's what we
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: were looking for.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: So can't let the Iowa the bad taste of just
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: a gross Iowa ostrou and in the basketball high you know.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: But god damn as I would just own Nebraska right
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: now and every in all the major sports for now.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: That's fun sucks.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Until Sunday, Fun Day on Marchie.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: There you go, Yep, that'll be. That'd be. Only you
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: have to go to.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Is that every good bit of her basketball talk. I
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: was wanting to get you guys. Did you guys see
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: what Bill Moose's memoir the quotes and stuff about who
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: he wanted for his head coach and moving to the
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Big twelve?
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: So Bill Moose wrote his.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Whatever you call it, autobiography on himself and that's been published,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: and so there's a lot of just stuff out there
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: on his life and career and this was it's now
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit of old news, but you know, conversation
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: around what he was doing as the athletic director.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not surprised that a lot of the stuff.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's some of the rumors and speculations of
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: what was going on behind the scenes at Nebraska, but
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: also just in general, I think at a very prestigious university,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: on how those conversations and things that happened, and.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I mean a few different things there. I think my.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Most entertaining piece of it was all the Frost stuff, which, like,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: again it's not surprising, like his wife saying he's not ready,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: he's too immature, because you know of their first meeting
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: and Matt Davison being in the room, which we've kind
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: of said when.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: He was around Matt.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Matt Davison was kind of spearheading driving a lot of
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: the Frost decisions and kind of doing, you know, being
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: the guy that makes all the decisions for him, and
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: that was a problem. And then obviously Frost and his
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: ego and his personality from the get go. So I
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: mean that that was the most entertaining part to me.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: It was reading those comments. But yeah, there's obviously a
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: lot of other stuff there.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: That they made him check into an alcohol rehab facility
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: the like, for them to tell they didn't have an alcohol problem. Yeah,
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: the current governor Pillen said, no, we don't want Chip Kelly.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go scut front, which okay, we've said the
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: whole time. Scott Frost was one hundred something right higher
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: as far as not the right time, as far as
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: his national presence and his head coaching you know, position
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: at the time. But it's just funny that, you know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: he really wanted Chip Kelly.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: We probably would have been happy with it too, but.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: He was Dana. But nope, Dana's not coming here.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: So Bill Moose is on an interview on the Ticket,
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: which I've been listening to that lot I'd love the ticket.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: Shout you guys. It's a great, great radio station.
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: Anyway, Bill Moos on there, But the interview after his
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: book came out, he said, if Scott Frost got hired
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: when Matt Rule did, he thinks that'd be the perfect
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: time for him to get fired. He's just not ready
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: for to be the husband coach yet. And I I
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: kind of agree with that. I think it would have
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: worked out then. It was just it was just a
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: ship show going on here when he was here, and
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: it feels like he was getting pushed into it, making
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: all decisions and all this. But it's also funny how
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: I have to get firing come out with all this, right.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know who said that on the Thicket, which also,
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: you're right, is a great radio show. I don't think
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: it everywhere just got for us. I don't think it would.
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: He said that. Bill Moose said that.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't. I don't I don't think. I
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: don't think it would have worked ever out here with us.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think it was a product of image sure,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: because if he had waited longer, he would have just
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: been bigger, you know, and then he's still coming home.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: That was the problem.
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: He was just home.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know this. Scott for us is a great
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: football coach. I'll just say it that way.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Doesn't right now?
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Another year you see, Yeah, we'll see maybe maybe maybe
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: it'll be different.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: But I just I don't think that he is so.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: And he also jobs Hunter. Sometimes it's just you know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's just who's hiring you.
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: It doesn't feel like he learned anything either from his
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: maturity standpoint, just coming out last year saying like, oh
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: I picked the wrong job or the wrong job family.
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: I can't remember what he said, but yeah, it's.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Some people don't change.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's the old adage of your personality,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: like sometimes that's just who you are.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: In fact, you should know that you just don't.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: Change what you're saying there, Hunter, I didn't say anything.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: All right, I've got a women's basketball take. I just
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: need to say it because no one really cares about
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: women's basketball, and we are okay, Hunter Deak, you know
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: we'll exclude you from this. Oh, but I would say
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Hunter and I were were coach Williams fans. I'm just
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: gonna say, see, it's a little warm. You have one
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: tournament win in ten years, you're windless and fed. You
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: are your Big Ten record over the last you know,
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: we've barely gone five hundred in the Big Ten in
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: the ten or ten year period. We've I know Natalie
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: pont Is hurt, which this dynamic backcourt, but I just
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I just want to I just want to put it
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: out there because it's just I've been I've watched a
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: couple of games and I've just been frustrated with how
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: we're finishing game and we I just I don't know
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: what's wrong. I know we lost a Lexus Markowski and
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: our post presence isn't what it was. Britt Prince is
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: really good, but it's I'm just I just want to
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: put that out there. We're gonna make the tournament again
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: this year, probably, I think, I don't know, it's been
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: a real rough stretch, but might be time ten years
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: one tournament win.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Has it been ten years already?
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: It's been ten years.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I you know, I've watched our women play, not as
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: closely as the men, but I've watched them a lot.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I've seen.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: The lack of what's the word not, I mean, it's
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: it's it's a little stale right now.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Where things are at h.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: And yes, I'm with you. Like to me, the evident
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: piece that from last year, you know, is a missing
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: post presence. Now, not saying every team has to have
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: a post presence, but I think in like we've seen
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: that with our men's we really don't either.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Mass is a version of it.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: But I think in women's basketball, especially having that that
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: size down load on both ends offensively and defensively really
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: gives an added bonus.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: In that league.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: So that has been an issue. And yeah, Brid's really
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: good and I don't think we use her enough. Uh It,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: it just seems like things are a little bit still
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: right now. I didn't realize. I mean, like I said,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I followed along, I have not watched every game. I
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: didn't realize the skid that we're kind of on. I mean,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: you're talking about the men's skid. The women's skid is
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: is a big, big from from what we started the
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: year being, you know, winning thirteen fourteen games in a
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: row to where we're at now.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: It is a little bit concerning, and I you know,
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: I have an interesting thought there about coach Williams, but
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: I do agree with you that you know, if you
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: can't pull out a little bit of a spark here somewhere.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying this year, but in the next couple
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: of years.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: We've won, We've won to you know, we won twenty one,
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: we want twenty three. And next year we are supposed
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: to have three top one hundred recruits coming, so.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: You get that.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: You know, this year, if you can pull out a
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: spark and make it to this Sweek sixteen, right, you know,
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: with a team like this, or you know, win your
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: first round game and make some noise and compete in
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: that second round as a nine seed against a one
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: or two seed, Like, yeah, you're probably feeling okay, but
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: you're right, it's a little bit of a all right, Like,
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: let's see where we're at, a little bit of a
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: gut check. I think again, there's still some good things,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: and injuries have been a thing.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know close enough to know.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: You know, why Pots is still out. I think that
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: that's kind of crazy. You feel like she should be back,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: but she's not.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: I think she's done for the year.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like she just again just overall,
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: not just the season, but just in general, given her injury.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is basically their second season ending injured. Now
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: you you know, people are like, oh, we get pots
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: back next year. You know, who knows what player you're
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: getting back.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to. I watched which game did I watch?
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Was it Maryland? And I was just so frustrated, and
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: it's just and so then I was just thinking. I
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: was like, gosh, it just feels like we're right there,
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: and then we aren't. And so then I went back
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: started looking as just again. Yet we've had two twenty
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: one seasons. We were a ten seed last year, six
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: seed two years ago. And the Big Ten is like
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: it's a hard particularly women's basketball conference, but ten years,
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: you got it. You have to have more than one.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: You know. We were talking about we're gonna fire Fred
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: if he doesn't win one this year, because that'd be
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: none in seven. We have one in ten.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, all.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: Right, I'm not eve gonna act like I watched them
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: in basketball. I don't. So all all I know is
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: that they have been on a major free for all.
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: That's about it.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: I have not watched I don't think a single second
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: of the Husby man's basketball team.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: So there you go.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I will say that you at least are admitting you're
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: not a fan of a team when you're not, like,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: you should do that to more of your teams because
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: it's not just as the Nebraska women's basketball.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Hunter, you know it's coming back, Jason Tatum,
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: he'll be back, should be back the next two weeks.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: So so you know what, get your get two running
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: shoes ready. You're gonna need two pairs because they're going
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: the East.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: I will say in defense, you know we are on
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: a skid, but you know, in that skid, we we've
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: only lost to We've only lost two unranked opponents. But
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: at some point you just gotta yeah.
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: They've been they've all been twenty point plus losses, right, and.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: I mean they haven't been close. I don't know if
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: I say twenty plus, but usually fifteen.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I always the latest lost game, which again
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: on us, but.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would kill this. Oh I guess I was thirteen.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Oh no, that's twenty three, that's thirty.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: So I I yes, we're playing ranked teams, but you
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: got it. You have again not this year. I just
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: want to put it out there. Next year's kind of
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: might be a do or die season for Amy Williams
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: we'll see.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: A couple other floating topics here.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: I wanted to get your guys' quick thoughts on one
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: NBA All Star game.
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: It was good, quick thought, it was good. Wemby's great.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: I love Wemby.
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: If you just see just a little bit of effort,
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: it's better than when it's been in the past. Like,
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: I like what they did this year. I had no
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: cuge going into what the what the hell the star stripes.
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: I thought it was just gonna be a US versus
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: the world the full game, but I mean three or
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: four different games, and I liked.
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: I like to change they did, made it competitive for
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: what it's worth.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: I did not know what was going on, which I
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: could be due to other things that are going on
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: in my life.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: But I suck that it was stars verse stripes in
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: the championship. But I really just wanted World fore USA.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: I don't care, And.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: I think I made a competitive and then second thought,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: got to give Austin some time to shine on the
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: US crowing team.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go mixed doubles silver medalists. The men and
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: women are both curly, well, women more particular than the men. Yeah,
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: I don't, I.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: Don't was that expected Keith Fillison, was that expected to
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: be or we're at I think.
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: For the mixed double for silver? Definitely not. I think
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: we had the seventh or eighth best odds to medal
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: to get the gold. So it was they curled out
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: their ass. I mean it was like their hitting percentage
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: was crazy for like just how it got them, and
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: then it kind of showed up in the gold medal match.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: They kind of started to normalize a little bit, but
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: they played incredibly well. The men's team's probably not gonna medal.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: They weren't really expected to medal, uh and the women's
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: team couldn't medal. We've had We've beat Canada for the
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: first time. So exciting stuff in the curling world.
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: So do you know, do you like most of these
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: people that are out there curling like you've heard of
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: them before?
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, Jared Allen, you're Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman. He's
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: starting a pro curling league.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, well not I'm in on curling.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: Look out for the Rock League.

  Speaker 2: I guess doctor jacked it know something about his claimed team.
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: He's a retired player.
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: I knew he was a curler, No, I didn't.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: That was a post career thing he started doing.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: So it checks out.
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: If you ever bring Omaha, let me know imever in Omaha. No,
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: if you ever bring Jared Allen in Omaha.

  Speaker 4: NBA title favorites quick off hand halfway halfway through the
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: season Thunder Thunder fourteen.
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: If Jay Sam comes back or doesn't come back, that's
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: up to you.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: You said he's coming back, so he said he's coming back.
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: He's coming back to.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: Think Celtics are gonna win it all.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: That's so foolish.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: You want to make a bet on that right now?
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: No, No, he's not back yet. The thirty nine.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: Fourteen you broke the news, breaking the news on this
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: podcast that he's coming back.
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: You said, give me back, Okay, you know, honest, gonna
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: say it. He'll be back before March fifteenth. That's that's
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: kind of what their deadline is. He's gonna come back
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: when they play Goldens not Golden States. There's some game
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: they have set that he's gonna come back forth.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: The Philadelphia seventy six ers. I believe that's what I heard.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: It was. They moved the Sixers time two hours back
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: to prime time. It's March fourth or something.
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: Which which how about him, guys come back from a
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: killers injury.
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: This is just incredible.
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: You'll see how he looks if he comes back. I'm
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: not gonna I'm not gonna say he's incredible yet.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: I will say Wemby's been fun to watch the ball.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: He's just it's just a freak.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Like you want to talk about Giannis and the stuff
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: that he does, take Wemby and like.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: It's very similar to this the hell of Play. But
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: I I like watching Wimby a lot better, and I
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: liked watching Giannis kind of in his early years.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: It's fun, it's fun to watch.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: I know he's not gonna win the m v P
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: because you know, I had my five old preseason takes,
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: which was the Hornets we're gonna make the playoffs and
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: win around which that did sound crazy. Wemby was gonna
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: win MVP defensive VP and the Spurs another team in
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: the one team in the West, and Lebron is gonna
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: average less than twenty five points. It's it's pretty freaking close.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: We're so close. Yeah, I think anyone out of the
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: East is beating the West dec That's why.
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: No.
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: I think I think Wimby being this young player, he's
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: the one that brought the kind of started to everyone
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: trying in the All Star Game with his he started
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: blocking shots stuff. I think he's the one that made
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: that that move to everyone.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: Hey, this is Funny's blocking shots. It's not like he's
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: because he's trying to. He's just there.
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just he's like, yeah, you're gonna have to
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: at a score. I'm not gonna let you just.
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: Lay it up. Yeah he doesn't have to.
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like Ben skirts block the same Hobard,
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: like you don't even to try to block him.
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: But but yeah, fun stuff.
• 57:14
