[SPEAKER_01]: I know, Grant, I know Mike Hudson, because Mike and I have talked about that a little bit of strange messages.
23:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And from a lot of fans, but you know what?
23:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Kim has been mudding in their last two wins.
23:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He's really stepped it up.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what they need.
23:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I ain't got to have production inside.
23:43
[SPEAKER_01]: And,
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's now maybe he's comfortable coming off the bench a little bit and a toughness it's uh it's good he's just he's been he's been very good here lately and you know he's got to have to continue to do that I'm not saying he's got to go score like 20 points every night but he's he's got to be a presence and he's got to be a threat inside because that helps it helps out
24:13
[SPEAKER_01]: on the outside, but I also think Dorn having Dorn and Wilkerson both guys.
24:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You can really knock down perimeter shots and even Tucker de Rees, although his shooting slump is kind of continuing right now.
24:25
[SPEAKER_01]: It helps rebail and he's taking, I think he's taking advantage of it.
24:29
[SPEAKER_01]: He's cutting hard to the basket looking for the ball.
24:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been really impressed with him.
24:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He and Dorn here the last two games I think have been just.
24:38
[SPEAKER_01]: big positive and the and the guy, the guy that I said makes me think of because I always I always admired his game, but because he went to Purdue, he irritated the heck out of me and that's Chris Kramer and I think Connor in right.
24:55
[SPEAKER_01]: is a lot plays a lot like Chris Kramer.
24:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He does all the very little stuff.
24:59
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on the floor from loose balls.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He harasses you defensively.
25:04
[SPEAKER_01]: He can step up and make a big shot for you when needed, you know, he just does things.
25:12
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that?
25:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He wishes he was Chris Kramer.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm telling ya.
25:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He is he's pretty.
25:20
[SPEAKER_01]: He's good at his their games as far as their toughness.
25:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh,
25:24
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just he's this tough as Kramer as I mean that it may be because he's a mole, but he just looks like a little country boy You're seeing the movie bench warmers?
25:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Not for a long time.
25:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks like he belongs in that movie I am not a fan Michelle as they pretty You're not a fan.
25:43
[SPEAKER_00]: As they pretty say, I am not a fan of brother.
25:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Look pretty mundane the other night
25:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a he's all the floor.
25:59
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't care about for burns.
26:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He's tough.
26:03
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll stick his nose in there.
26:05
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not intimidated by anybody.
26:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think it's toughness.
26:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of a toughness that the IU team has lacked for like the last 48 years.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You mentioned Tuesday at USC and how big that one is because the next two after that are Wisconsin and Oregon at home and those are games that there'll be be heavily favored going into two games at Illinois and Purdue.
26:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if I you getting this win tonight was huge because when people said they needed to split the west coast swing I really think people thought they would lose lose you sell a game.
26:43
[SPEAKER_01]: And when the U.S.E.
26:44
[SPEAKER_01]: game, that's right.
26:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Winning the U.S. yellow league now, if they can come back and win, win, which they should although I know double over time on the road, doesn't always transition.
26:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, just because you don't have your own facilities to I spent all that stuff that you can just go into you when you're at home, you can go take advantage of on a Sunday, but.
27:13
[SPEAKER_01]: that will be good because those two road trips to Illinois and Purdue are going to be very tough.
27:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they close out with four games, three of which they'll be heavily favored.
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: If they win the games, they're capable of winning their NCA tournament team, I think, as of today.
27:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so too.
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think today, right, you might not write UCLA's that another quad one win.
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it should be, yeah, I imagine it should be.
27:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they are the thing for,
27:43
[SPEAKER_01]: This was big and as they can do that and they can they're not going to get a double buy and I knew they will and I never expected them to compete for a double buy in the big 10 tournament, but I thought if they could get a buy.
27:56
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be huge for them and.
27:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So they didn't have to play like five games and five days or whatever it is now that I think they're putting all the teams in the big 10 tournament.
28:07
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, the answer is yes, it is a quad one win.
28:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, good.
28:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, so this was a big one.
28:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Get USC, come home, get Oregon, get Wisconsin.
28:18
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be nice to split at Purdue or Illinois and it seemed like I use kind of found the switch and it's doing things.
28:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get touched with Jake Dunn and ask, but I can't remember the last time I saw Peter team and I've seen this now in a couple games where they've had a turnover, it kids have jogged back and not even gone down to try to contest a layup or after a rebound and go coast to coast.
29:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That one Wilkerson did in the first half.
29:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Hunter in right was by three boilers.
29:05
[SPEAKER_01]: If Wilkerson misses a line up, it's getting the offensive rebound.
29:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm smith gave up on it, lawyer gave up on it, and whatever guards do y'all see you.
29:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Whichever one of the third guard, they all gave up on it.
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've never, I have yet, I've not seen that in a painter coach team in a few years.
29:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, speaking of which today, Purdue is at Maryland.
29:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Maryland is probably the worst team in the big team.
29:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So they should win there.
29:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think we'll have a little more answers there, whether the second half against IU, they figured some things out particularly defensively.
29:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But the one I want to talk to you about is at four o'clock, Ben Hummerhouse and the Illinois Fighting Alina at Nebraska.
29:56
[SPEAKER_01]: to be a good game.
29:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I am planning on my sister and I are going to go down and watch the IU women tomorrow because of weather and illness and different things.
30:04
[SPEAKER_01]: We missed several games which we ate and they play it too.
30:08
[SPEAKER_01]: So I will probably record that and watch it.
30:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll try watch the second half and then go back and watch what I missed.
30:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's a huge game.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean,
30:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'll say this when you look when I watch Illinois.
30:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I look at him and it's not like they don't overly impressed me because I don't think they look great.
30:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I just don't think they do.
30:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how they're doing it.
30:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't either.
30:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're making.
30:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just able to make shots or link bothers people.
30:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Which I did understand has I don't think they're exceptionally don't look exceptionally quick.
30:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I think then the brass I think tomorrow's Nebraska game will be we'll get more of a feel for just exactly how good it literally is really.
31:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that Nebraska team is pretty darn good and from everything I read, they should have beaten that Michigan kind of got there, but very well could have that's for sure.
31:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.
31:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Michigan kind of got the benefit of a non.
31:29
[SPEAKER_01]: They did not call charging foul, which most people thought they should have been called.
31:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't see it.
31:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't say it was just me reading it.
31:37
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the Michigan fan accounts.
31:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It's media accounts that cover just college basketball general.
31:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't have Michigan's really good.
31:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they are.
31:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Those guns, but they're hosting Nebraska.
31:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, they are.
31:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They're both really good to.
31:55
[SPEAKER_00]: there's a pretty good chance that the big ten could finally in that drought of winning a national championship.
32:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
32:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a nice expression sense that probably hold on hold on broccoli start over.
32:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Go.
32:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be really nice, especially since the final fours in Indianapolis this year.
32:13
[SPEAKER_01]: If they could in that drought, I'd do it here.
32:16
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your vote was Purdue?
32:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if this pretty film or pressure did win a national championships, I you won the football championship.
32:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to talk about it.
32:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not happy.
32:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a happy time.
32:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Although, I'm happy for my friends who are are you fans that and that was really cool story.
32:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And I
32:46
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just a really fun team.
32:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So I told him, I said, it was a great story, but it was such a fun team to watch this year.
32:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They were fun last year, but they were really fun this year.
32:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think a lot of it, I think Mendoza had a lot of that.
33:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And you want to hear just how much of an impact that Mendoza has off the field.
33:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Catholic priest says they had 148 college students inquire about becoming joining the Catholic church.
33:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
33:18
[SPEAKER_01]: In the last month or two.
33:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Impressive kid.
33:21
[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
33:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
33:25
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Michelle.
33:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about the spacers.
33:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Another win tonight.
33:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Three of their last four.
33:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Every one of those teams is a team and playoff contention that they've beaten.
33:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that everybody's pretty healthy.
33:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a pretty good team.
33:39
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.
33:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And
33:41
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, I think it's important.
33:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I've said this all along.
33:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's important that they do win some more games and play.
33:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it stretches because I just think I think losing and losing ugly, you know, just not looking good.
33:59
[SPEAKER_01]: It can become a, um,
34:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It can become kind of like a virus or something that just kind of hangs around and you're blocking room and different things.
34:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's nice to see the pace or play well.
34:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It's also what I think what I'm enjoying now too is
34:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I thought, I don't know, Greg, you, you watch him a lot more than what I do, but I thought some of what I saw in the early of the season, sometimes it looked like they weren't having fun.
34:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Tioca was playing well, but it didn't look like he was enjoying it.
34:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I think they look like they're starting to have fun again and that's.
34:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, losing stuff.
34:34
[SPEAKER_01]: That's key for the Pacers.
34:35
[SPEAKER_01]: They bet this is a group.
34:37
[SPEAKER_01]: They're good and they're they're best when they're really having fun.
34:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're starting to win these close games because they don't miss free throws.
34:45
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a big part of it.
34:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
34:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the best thing is that Jaris Walker clearly at 22 years old 23 maybe now is a true NBA player.
34:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Not sure yet how good, but again, and I 11.10 rebounds for assist.
35:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been shooting well for a long time now.
35:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's great.
35:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But what we liked about him was the great floor vision and he played good defense.
35:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We weren't seeing that at all earlier this year.
35:15
[SPEAKER_00]: We're starting to see that some now.
35:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You have thoughts on Jared's walker who you've always been skeptical of.
35:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost like now that me Smith is back.
35:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and you have me Smith a dimmar.
35:32
[SPEAKER_01]: is not overdoing it.
35:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think sometimes, I think he, I think there were times he tried to be like the one or two option and that is not who isn't it?
35:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And that won't be a great role for him with the Pacers.
35:47
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just not the way this team is built for him.
35:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It's for him to take advantage, but you know, I, I thought that he put pressure on him maybe put pressure on himself to be that now I think he's playing with it himself.
36:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's letting the game come to him.
36:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And when you're young, that's what you have to do.
36:06
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to let the game come to you.
36:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think he's he's doing that and he's got to be, you know,
36:17
[SPEAKER_01]: His value, it's either as trade value or if he wants to be a member of the Pacers, he needs to do continue to do what he's doing right now, rebound, see the floor, play good defense and get your opportunity, you know, knock down your opportunities scoring life without forcing shots.
36:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Bigging of young players, Johnny Furfee's already in the starting lineup, Michelle.
36:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
36:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
36:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
36:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
36:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Did I not text you and say, I mean, I was wrong on Johnny Furfee.
36:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You may have, and maybe I didn't.
36:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I give you, I give you credit that, um, he.
37:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But we don't give me credit, Michelle.
37:03
[SPEAKER_00]: All I know is the Kevin Pritchard and Rick Carlisle kept saying it.
37:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think for Johnny Furfe, what's helped him is probably because there was no pressure on him.
37:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Just go play.
37:19
[SPEAKER_01]: When they were not playing as a team, they were kind of speaking it at the time.
37:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He could just take that and just go learn.
37:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's done that and he, if he continues to work hard, he's just, he's going to get better.
37:37
[SPEAKER_01]: We probably don't realize just maybe how much of a role that Haliburton has played in his development because Haliburton is at practice.
37:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We know he's not just sitting there to eat gum.
37:49
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not who Haliburton is.
37:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I am sure he is doing a little coaching, little courage for Murphy to have Haliburton take him under his way.
38:03
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just a positive.
38:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, you were at the Elwood Wrestling sectional today.
38:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It was dominated by Noblesville and Hamilton Heights and Pinnolton Heights, but also really good day for some Tipton, Franklin, Alexandria and Elwood wrestlers.
38:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the thing, Gary.
38:23
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first time I can remember being since the last few years, essential.
38:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Nubelsville had a finalist in every weight class.
38:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They were in the championship match in every weight class.
38:37
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how dominant they were today.
38:40
[SPEAKER_01]: That what they did was they lined for face-off.
38:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was we'll take one whole side of the map and then you had the collection of wrestlers from the other schools on the other side of that it was just incredible, you know, high tests and good wrestlers this is the first time.
39:01
[SPEAKER_01]: since Tipton and Elwood, this sectional's been this field that I have ever gone on and covered that, that Elwood, neither Elwood nor Frank did, has had a wrestler in the championship match.
39:13
[SPEAKER_01]: They did that.
39:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Tipton had one, will you move her than he wants?
39:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So, he is a sectional champion for the second year in a row.
39:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And, but, Elwood did have five kids go on.
39:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Morgan Lade Morgan placed third.
39:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Tipton's Tyler Sorenson, who had gotten, I believe, gotten penned, or tech followed by a Gallagos during the regular season.
39:39
[SPEAKER_01]: They met the third place match in 150 pounds and Sorenson won today by a tech fall I believe.
39:49
[SPEAKER_01]: and sorts of mom told me after the match that he was in the hospital with the fluently, he tested for positive for both types of flu and COVID last week, so they kept him in the hospital to his fever broke.
40:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So he had a great day.
40:04
[SPEAKER_01]: He bounced back pretty well, I guess.
40:18
[SPEAKER_01]: at the who is a repeat the role and they've been a repeat to and can't shelter this at two 15.
40:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They had a couple other kids in the five, but did not they did not win.
40:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So noblesville, they also noblesville of course because if you're a wrestler, a non-noblesville wrestler in the final and you lost, you lost the noblesville.
40:45
[SPEAKER_01]: sectional tricicials got two kids going on in date in the cool finish third in his weight class which he is in the same weight class as Cazely from Madison Grant who was an offending champion but he got beat by the love kid from Marion who I guess was the champion at the lower weight class last year moved up this year.
41:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So that
41:14
[SPEAKER_01]: with love and hastily and date and the cool cause date and the cool lost and hastily last year in the championship back.
41:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was that's got that was a very tough way class.
41:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So date and got third hastily got second and then uh and the trip hastily is not going to be happy about second place but the good news in wrestling is you get to face the same guy next week as long as you keep winning, right?
41:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah exactly.
41:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes and then you like dirty and
41:42
[SPEAKER_01]: At 138, he placed forth.
41:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So he gets to go on a tricetrol had to advance.
41:50
[SPEAKER_01]: To, then I think I believe that's in great.
41:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.
41:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't have it.
41:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's wanted me.
41:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I looked up and I had the total earlier.
41:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I forget, but I think they're advancing maybe five six kids.
42:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Greatie Hazley, Logan, the lesbian, Carson, Hindi,
42:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Angus all as well for Madison Grant they had a pretty good day and we'll say last week I covered the CIC on last Friday night and that wrestling and I saw where he uh I believe the McVicker kid from Mississippi on the lower weight class 1113 or something he is a very good wrestler.
42:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he dominated his weight
42:36
[SPEAKER_01]: division that were at Oak Hill that way class today too.
42:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's really good.
42:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh and told who's an Eastern.
42:42
[SPEAKER_01]: He won his weight class today a former Tri-Central student.
42:48
[SPEAKER_01]: A kid by the name of Young, a freshman at Eastern.
42:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He used to go to Tri-Central.
42:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's freshman now and he won his weight class at Oak Hill too.
42:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was impressed with Oak Hill last week in the CIC
43:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I like how to lead going into the final round and then, but Oak Hill came out and won the team title.
43:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that's a good wrestling program.
43:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and let me give Kudos to Pental to Heights, their coaches and their wrestlers.
43:19
[SPEAKER_01]: They stayed, their coaches, and some by told me they do this every, the coach does a series.
43:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They stayed and helped Elwood tear down the bats, the tables, and everything today.
43:33
[SPEAKER_00]: That Coach Clown is the best, isn't he?
43:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
43:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't heard anybody who hasn't said so.
43:40
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Michelle, last thing, Frank Jen's fifth win in a row, boys basketball, beating tri-central today.
43:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Blake Nickham, 23 points.
43:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's starting to really play well, and so are the Eagles.
43:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say that if you had a player of the month for January of this area, it would be Blake Nickham.
44:02
[SPEAKER_01]: At least for the area of the school's eye cover.
44:05
