INDIANA 78, CHICAGO STATE 58: Reaction with Grant Shouse & Mike Hutsell (2.118.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

• 0:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to a special edition of the IU report with Grant Shows and My Cutsl.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 0:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those weird.
• 0:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: kind of games here to buy game for Indiana, we're talking about Indiana Chicago State a reaction to it here on the IE report on the Central Indiana Sports Report Grant Shows Mike Hetzel, Greg Ben Geltz here hanging out as well and Mike, it's one of those games they won by 20 they hit, I think they
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It came close to her if not broke the record for three's in a game.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's only one by 20 and it was one of those games where you kind of woke up yesterday and you're like, oh yeah, I forgot.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're playing Chicago State today.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the game was not televised, obviously.
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: We talked about BTN+.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: And our opinions on that.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it was actually cheaper to get into the game yesterday than to subscribe to BTN+.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: To sit down and watch it.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh,
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: A really bizarre kind of like in perfectly encapsulates a knee and a basketball type of game They did not hit the three-point record But they were certainly pacing for it in the first half.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think there was 14 threes in the first half And they were up 30 and then in the second half one three on like 17 attempts
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: and miss their first 14, I think, for the 14 or 15 attempts from three in the second half, and they just kind of slogged through the second half.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was not a game when they were ever pressured by Chicago State, which would be much more obviously concerning, but they also didn't beat Chicago State by 40, which is what Vegas thought they might do going in.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a 37 point
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Lamar Wilkerson looked like he was on his way to another Penn State type performance and Nick Dorne, three or four threes in the first half, Connor in right, knocked down threes in the first half.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And in the second half, I don't think they played poorly.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: They got good looks from everything that has been reported about the game and Diverese told them he wasn't telling them not to shoot it because he once the guys had the mindset of if you're open
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: but they just didn't knock them down in the second half.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, pretty, I'm not gonna say a frustrating game, just a game on the schedule, they did what they were supposed to do.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's probably the worst team they're gonna play this year, whether it's a conference game, not a conference game, that's the worst team they're gonna play.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: In Chicago State.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: kind of a joke if you ask me.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's really not much to say other than that they did with their supposed to do, and they beat a knockoff at the opponent by 20.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: The game was, the game was not as close as it looked, right?
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they won by 20, but you felt like they were up by 40 the whole game.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: again, like you said, they were never in danger of losing the lead or getting beat or letting Chicago stay get on a run and, you know, have to force a time out.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so frustrating when you know that your team lives and dies by the three, and thankfully they were able to hit 14 threes in the first half and looked flat in the second half, but
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: to think about it, if they didn't come out shooting great, you know, I don't know how this game would have turned out.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and they were just better.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was pretty obvious just at every position, they were better than the team they were playing.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want to say they got complacent because again, they were executing.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: They were getting shots that were open.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: They just weren't in the lock and weren't hitting shots that were open.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: The frustrating thing for me is, you know, we've talked at Nazim about this, at Nazim about this on this show, we know Indian it can beat this team.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is not breaking news.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is not something that we should get overly excited about because we know they can beat the Chicago states of the world.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to see this team and we thought we saw it with market,
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: We thought we saw it with case day.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: We don't really know what case day is.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: They played two good teams in the non-conference and to some extent, they kind of got blown out by Louisville, it was 16 and nothing, whether or not what the final score says, that game was never really a game Louisville, felt like they were going to lose.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then they got physically overmatched by Kentucky.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: is seemingly writing the ship a little bit down there after their big Winniester to over St. John's and then they had their one road conference game where I'm still just baffled that they could lose to Minnesota as bad as Minnesota is until proven otherwise these games are just going to be games that we talk about there like yeah they came in and they beat a team that they were supposed to beat and
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now we'll just move on to another game against the team we're supposed to be, but, right, this is more of a hit me with a stick when we start playing conference games against the Michigan States and Nebraska's produce of the world and see how we do and those, those type of those type of setting.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, did you just say the produce the Michigan states in the Nebraska's That sounds weird long.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hey long is winning streak in the country dude.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's all I can say about Nebraska and it's legit.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're they are legit good That's the thing is that Monday they're gonna get another shot in Vienna who is better than Chicago state.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: We know that
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, it's, it's one of those games where Indiana's probably gonna win.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I hope I'm right.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're gonna have to do something.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Are you gonna tear yourself away from the Bloomington Walmart long enough to go to that game while you're into him, Griff?
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, because I'm doing all my Christmas shopping there tomorrow.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, it's a bit.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a big day.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds right.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds right.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds right.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a huge day for...
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I have snow globe from the same section as Tom Creen.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's right.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: The same place that Tom Creen stocked up on his diet coke.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's right.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not Chicago state.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're better than they're probably better than Bethune Cookman.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but they're bad.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I looked at their schedule and they have not played a single good team and they're not in three.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: So same bottom ventures the best team they've played.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that was one of the three, right?
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was one of the three, correct.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so hopefully it is a good team through the years.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're playing McCaffery.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: We were blessed with playing McCaffery.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: He got them in the tournament.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not up there.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't hide his state.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: They did.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: They gave Louisville a hell of a game when Louisville was a one seed.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: This does not appear to be a good scene.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: And this has been our lesson in C and a basketball because out of that after that, I'm out of my C and a knowledge.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's just one of those games.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Read just hope Indiana can shoot well.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: like getting into their Penn State performance.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: You need to come out and beat them the way that you beat Alabama and not sleepwalked but they're not letting CNN hang around in the first half.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, this team is,
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's still more fun to watch than the last two teams, the last two years of Mike Woods.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this this team, even though that they they do struggle at times.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have players that you can kind of stomach being on the floor like a cotter and right and Trent Sicily.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: not read Bailey, but like even sometimes taking Conorway, I've had my frustrations about him, but and Tucker de Vries, these are still guys that you kind of like to watch play still a little bit.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: You could stand watch at Umar Ballos fat ass run up and down the floor and put Malik Renew out there and let him do his thing.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: The theme is even though they are frustrating, it's kind of like
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like, you know, teaching a toddler stuff.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Somewhere in Mali right now, somewhere out in Mali right now.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: The, uh, Bolo family's listening to this podcast absolutely furious about, uh, our Umar Bolo slander.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 9:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I've been I slanted him for four years.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think I'll be okay.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's correct.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Greg, when you see those numbers come in about those four podcasts, listens out in Mali, we'll know why now.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's right.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we're out of RC in a information.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will tell you this Indiana is a 97.8% chance to win according to ESPN analytics and it is at 6 p.m. on the big 10 network.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now we know everything wait there.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: You need to know about the end.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and this is this is it for 2025.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you don't get another look at Indiana again until big 10 play kicks off the first weekend of January.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: So
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: uh... that could be a good thing it could be a bad thing that they're going to have two weeks two and a half weeks between games basically call this basically call this camp cowl down in Kentucky where he would get these two weeks with a team from christmas to after the new year and just absolutely drool him into the ground and they would get so much better in this band so hopefully that maybe you see that little bit of that from the breeze
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure players are looking forward to probably having some time off here because You can probably afford to let your guys go home for Christmas this year out of all of them get to do that.
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So That'll probably be a good thing for them and then they can come back and get fresh and ready actually We're gonna see an indie after this the end of game.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna see an Indiana football game before we'll see an Indiana basketball game in the stretch
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's right, and we will be back on Tuesday to talk about the Indiana Hoosiers and the Alabama Crimson Tide, and then we'll preview it later in the week.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be talking about that all week, with not just Grant and Mike also with Eric and Ryan Robinson.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Are you Alabama is our focus this week, guys?
