Transcript
- 0:05[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome Central Indiana Sports Fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:09[SPEAKER_01]: For today's 10-minute report, your 10-minute daily update on what matters to Central Indiana Sports Fans.
- 0:16[SPEAKER_01]: I'm your host Greg Mengal, and I love Central Indiana Sports.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_01]: Coming up, the Colts and Paces both lose their fourth in a row, and the Paces' injury port gets even longer ahead of the night's game against Atlanta.
- 0:29[SPEAKER_01]: But College Basketball is back and that's going to be our focus on a rare afternoon edition of the Ten Minute Report.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: Here for Monday, November 2nd, 2026, after we talk a little cult in Pacers as little as possible.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be joined by Mike Hudsel and Grant Shows to preview the Hoosiers Antonide's game against Eastern Illinois.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll run down all of tonight's and tomorrow's games, and in bonus time, Jake Dunn joins me to preview tonight's Proogans I could game in Vegas, probably.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_01]: Your 10-minute report begins now.
- 1:06[SPEAKER_01]: The cult's lost 42-7 in Jacksonville, I think it's what they're 50th straight loss in Jacksonville, something like that, it seems like it.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_01]: The cults are now 2 and 6, the Jaguars improved to 5 and 2, and in control of the AFC South.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_01]: And it's the 4th straight loss for the cults.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_01]: After trading, Quentin Nelson trading to force butner, Josh Downs asking for a trade, Jonathan Taylor, apparently both sides are looking for a trade.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_01]: He only had, what was it, 23 yards, 28 yards, something like that on a 23.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: 8 carries 23 yards in the loss.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Downs did score the only touchdown.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_01]: Even the really good players for the coach, not a great effort.
- 1:48[SPEAKER_01]: It was a really bad effort all around.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_01]: And then when I say effort, I mean, it was did not look like a team that cared of a one or not.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of understandable in the situation.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_01]: That's the human response to,
- 2:02[SPEAKER_01]: an organization giving up on the team is the team to kind of give up on the organization, hopefully it'll rebound.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_01]: It was bad enough to get Shane Stike and fired immediately.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_01]: That's probably not going to happen.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_01]: Probably shouldn't happen.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm against that.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying, it was a performance worthy of all that.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_01]: And a programming note we've decided on the culture port not to react immediately after games anymore unless they give us a reason to,
- 2:27[SPEAKER_01]: We will do all of that on the Colts Report midweek at a week, probably on Thursday afternoon, and then we'll preview each game, and we will also continue to do a preview and predictions ahead of each game.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I was so excited about this indie and a pace or season.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_01]: and it's just been sucked right out of me in just two weeks.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_01]: I said in our preseason, our season preview on The Paces Report, that this team could withstand an injury to pretty much anybody with the depth that it had.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, I didn't mean to four key players, including Tyre's Halle Burton.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_01]: Who, another lost fourth straight at home, against one of the worst teams in the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets, the offense, was just awful.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_01]: is started with three really bad possessions to start the game and didn't get much better from there.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_01]: Paces were down 43 to 40, I have time, still thought they were gonna find a way to win it.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_01]: And then the net's open, the third quarter were the nine to nothing run.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_01]: Paces are shot just 40% from the field.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_01]: The ball movement didn't look horrible.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't as stagnant as 90 points would make it sound, but the shooting just continues to be awful.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_01]: Shot selection wasn't great either, particularly early in the game.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_01]: I really praised the other night was not great, even though he led the team with 23 points he also had for assists, Pascal Siakum 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and I think the good news from the last couple of games is Quentin Jackson is a real NBA player and I think that's pretty obvious, but he's going to be needed even more tonight, 730 tip at home against the Hawks.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_01]: and it's really bad news for the Pacers 8 players out, Andrew Nimhart is out for cervical injury management.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_01]: I guess that means neck injury, Erin Eastman left hamstring, Pascal Siocam rest.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: Haliburton left hamstring, in Shepherd left minuscissurgery, Johnny Furfrey ACL, TJ McConnell right hamstring of meets a zoobot ankle, all out tonight against the hawks.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like Braden Smith's time and hey, maybe we can see the start of the Hall of Fame career or freak mast.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, the three Pacers players who were healthy last night, Nimhart Siakim, me Smith, scored 51 of the Pacers 90 points in all three of them are out tonight.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_01]: I Grinch and I'll have a patient's report very soon talking about the very, very, very, very disappointing start to this season.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: And now I am joined by Grant Showson, my household to talk to him.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_01]: Are you basketball?
- 5:12[SPEAKER_01]: Hey guys on the scale of 1 to 10, Alexander are you about the basketball season getting going?
- 5:18[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I wasn't necessarily, like, 10 out of 10 excited, but optimistic, for sure.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know about you, Mike.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_02]: I'm five with this program.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, prove to me one way or the other.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_02]: On anything.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_02]: I've been this way since they hired DeVarees.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, give me a reason to move to seven or eight.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know what DeVarees did last year?
- 5:40[SPEAKER_02]: He kept me right at five.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_02]: So,
- 5:44[SPEAKER_02]: They should be better this year.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_02]: They've looked a lot better in the preseason this year.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_02]: Talent wise compared to last year.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm just at the, I'm still at the point of the need of askable where I need to be swayed to understand that it is different this time because we've been Auburn football for the last 26 years.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_02]: And until you tell me we're not, then I'm just gonna stay here at a five.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm gonna go to games.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna watch every game.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna support the team.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna get mad.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna blame Reed Bailey for something again this year, even though he's not on a team.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_02]: But you've gotta win me back and I'm not out.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_02]: I know plenty of people who have left, but I'm not out, but you gotta pull me back in the door.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_02]: A much better team physically than last year, a team that's gonna,
- 6:42[SPEAKER_02]: control, hopefully continue to control the glass, they've been really dominant on the glass so far, which was a huge issue for last year's team.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_02]: A much more athletic team in the last year, more guys capable of scoring than last year.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_02]: All of those things are a reasons for optimism, but they're also our guys that need to prove that they're going to be able to handle the roles that they're going to be.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_02]: put into.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_02]: Marcus Burton's been a great score, a high usage guy, but he's also always played on a bad team.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_02]: So it was he a really, you know, really good fit, you know, a really big fish and a small pawn.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_02]: Is he going to be able to do that for a team that's got a higher expectations.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_03]: We need to see that.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_03]: I think so too.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_03]: I think you've got more ability to put the ball in the basket and be able to be more comfortable offensively.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_03]: not have to rely on the three as much as you did last year they lived and died by it if they weren't hit and it was gonna be a long night if they were hit and they could put up over a hundred points in a game uh... i don't think it will necessarily feel as much of that this season they got playmakers
- 7:52[SPEAKER_03]: Their guards, I think, can be good, Marcus Burton could have a good, I think it's going to have a good season.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_03]: Darren Harris, who's kind of been compared a little bit to Lamar Wilkerson.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_03]: He's kind of got that factor.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_03]: Just being able to turn it on and kind of become a microwave a little bit and put the ball on the basket.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_03]: And one of the good things here is to think you're going to see a team with a lot more depth than you did last year.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_03]: You got guys coming off the bench.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_03]: Trevor Manher, she's a true fresher and Prince Alexander Moody.
- 8:21[SPEAKER_03]: uh... trepently as well family x is off the bench you got you got a team you can play nine maybe stretch at the ten guys and i think in the end of the ready to go and that aspect and like you said control the glass uh... rebound the basketball well don't turn the ball over that's one of the things that they struggled with
- 8:43[SPEAKER_03]: kind of in the preseason was they were able to rebound but turning the ball over and being a little inconsistent there was kind of a challenge so in the non-conference you want to be able to walk away and blow these teams out it's your buy games, it's your cupcake games, these first two games were quad three and probably quad four games of these channel annoying ballroom and so just through you got to do to win the game but look good doing it.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_03]: I think you give the fans something, something to be excited about.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_02]: Feed the metrics in these games.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Mike Woodson would play a seven-point game in these games, and it would look bad at the end of the year.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_02]: If you're supposed to be to team by 26, beat them by 29, beat the metrics in these games.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_02]: These are the games that, as much as I joke and crack on the guy, Matt Pader feeds on.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_02]: putting up a good net because he is really really good at scheduling to the metrics and feeding the metrics when he has an opportunity to do so you've got to beat these teams handily, you've got to do it impressively, you can't struggle in these games, you just got to look, it's got to be metrically approved with these types of games.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_03]: Let the game go analytically final with about seven or eight minutes to go if there is such a thing.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get some climmin' soko off and then it's tomorrow.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_01]: Great bike, thanks so much.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_01]: Looking forward to another eye you see.

- 13:28[SPEAKER_01]: Please stay tuned for Jake Duns and my feelings heading into another Purdue basketball season.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_01]: And now in some bonus time, I welcome in Jake Dunn, our Purdue guy.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_01]: Jake, I'm gonna ask you what I asked the IU guys earlier and I'm gonna give you my opinion first on a scale of one to 10, how excited are you about this Purdue season?
- 13:54[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I've probably about an eight and a half.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a really interesting season.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have high expectations for this team at all.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think if they get in the tournament, I think that's bonus.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is kind of a bonus season for Purdue.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_01]: The future is in their younger grades.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_01]: And if they are really good this year, and they could be, then it's just the bonus.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: That's how I look at it.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_00]: I'm probably in a, it's pretty basketball,
- 14:26[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, you know, a nice fresh start here, a little to no expectations for this group.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_00]: I still think they'll be good, I think they'll, they'll win some games that they shouldn't, they'll lose some games that they shouldn't, that's just what you get with young teams.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm excited as always for for pretty basketball.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_01]: If Matt Painter does what he's done many times and
- 14:52[SPEAKER_01]: It exceeds my expectations after what was pretty ugly exhibition season, but we've had those before and it've been blown out next to the vision seasons before and made big runs in the year.
- 15:05[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't seem to make any difference.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: I remember when I think it was a lost arc and saw and it was like a week and a half later as like man, arc and saw is nowhere and produced ballpark.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_01]: That's a strange result now.
- 15:20[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely, and people are drawing a lot of comparison to the 2018, 2019, you know, produce season where Carson Edwards and Ryan Klein had their, had the run to the lead eight should have been, you know, filed for that team did not start out very hot.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: I think they were seven and six, and then, you know, playing that four team, that four team to game.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's really when they turned it around, kind of ended up winning the, the big ten regular season.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_00]: Champion Jeff I believe so I think this could very well be a you know a season like that where maybe don't don't start out super high Another gate, but I once this team really gels and you get the rotations down and and you know everything like that It'll be It'll be a pretty pretty solid team who cannot who can contend for the big 10-rate or season title
- 16:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to need to see a lot of Luke Urdle and Antoine West for me to reach peaks at peak excitement about this team, but tonight's going to be interesting Jake Gonzaga, not one of the Gonzaga teams with the highest expectations in the last decade or two, but they do have a really versatile skilled big man in Brighton Huff, a seven footer, and they're always good.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Gonzaga is pretty similar to Perlu and the fact that they're usually always pretty good.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: It's a brand new season, obviously, for the first game of season there in Las Vegas.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: It should be a great atmosphere for both of these teams.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: You know, kind of removing that home court advantage.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_00]: And probably have some interesting shooting site lines as well with Gonzaga in particular.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_00]: They have a lot of talent, but their talent has not played together a whole lot.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: or as I think Peru has a little bit more of an intact nucleus of players, so I think that'll be something that Gonzaga will probably have to work through a little bit more than Peru will, so I think Peru has a slight edge there and that Gonzaga, you know, on offense or they're really going to want to go fast, real having up tempo type offense to your transition heavy, especially
- 17:35[SPEAKER_00]: transfer, uh, been around a few places, uh, both mid majors and in at the, you know, high, uh, power two conference and Nathan Dusa as well.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: They, uh, they're, they're going to want to get downhill and driving in the paint, uh, rather than relying on, on high volume, three point shooting.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_00]: And, uh, you mentioned three and a half there.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's, he's a, you know, really, um, really good big man, uh, I've seen some comparisons of kind of a trade confident
- 18:03[SPEAKER_00]: and the ability to score in the post.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_00]: So luckily for people like Dino Jacobs and Dino Jacobson has gone, they get straight off of a red and sole career.
- 18:12[SPEAKER_00]: You know, at Paris, hopefully, you'll be prepared a little bit for that.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_00]: And then on defense, Fergan Taga, I think they're gonna really want to put a lot of pressure on the cards.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be switching a lot into the one through three spots and I think we'll see that the bigs play some drop cover, just trying to protect the ramp.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_00]: So should be a good game produce, you have to have, you know, obviously a good defense containing the dribble, you have to shoot efficiently, take care of the ball and you know, I think just just have confidence that you know, they can, they can win and they can compete in games like this.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_01]: Here's something that should give them some confidence, Jake.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_01]: When I was growing up, I didn't even know what Gonzaga was except for the John Stockton with there.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_01]: Then all of a sudden, in 1998, they were the Cinderella of the tournament.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the first time that Purdue and Gonzaga ever played each other and Purdue won.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_01]: And now they've played each other six times.
- 19:09[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think Gonzaga's ever led a second half during a second half of any of those seven games, Jake.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_01]: Purdue is absolutely dominated every single time they've played Gonzaga.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait to speak to the games that I've seen here recently over the past few years.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, Purdue is played really well against Gonzaga.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was two years ago, maybe in the tournament where Purdue was matched up with Gensai or had the potentially matched up with Gensaga.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: And I was really scared to play Gonzaga's because of kind of a run that Purdue has had against them.
- 19:42[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of feel the same way about Tennessee where Purdue has kind of had Tennessee's number really.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_00]: I want it in a lot of sports.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm kind of hoping that the Purdue doesn't, I don't really play some of the regular season, but in the postseason, I hope Purdue doesn't play that.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_00]: But it's a nice stretch here that Purdue has being in Saigon.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully that will continue tonight.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently, it's only five of no, it just seems like seven or no.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: The closest game of those was 10 points.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_01]: Of the five games.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_01]: And I honestly, I don't think any of them were ever in doubt.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_01]: Not a single one of them.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_01]: They played twice in the NCAA tournament.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned the one they played in Maui.
- 20:24[SPEAKER_01]: They played in the Phil Knight Legacy in 2022.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_01]: Purdue completely dominated that one during,
- 20:32[SPEAKER_01]: That's great season.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_01]: They won that one at 80s for to 66.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: And then 2024, 2016.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I. Yeah.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and in the thumbnail, I have a t-shirt on the watch.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: And then Peru was, you know, kind of taking it to Gonzaga.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: It was,
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they're playing super well.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, oh, okay, this pretty team's gonna be pretty good.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Then they go on to be Duke as well.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: And then you know, like they'd be in by 20, they 20-ball Duke.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: And I was all right, this team can be something.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: And we know, we know, we know how that season ended.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_01]: And I think there was an Alabama win and they were a top 10 team as well.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think there were number one or two at the time when Purdue played on Murray, so somewhere in the top five.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, Paris had a nice stretch here of winning against some highly ranked teams.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're record in the pre-conferences in, say, under Matt Painter, the last decade or so.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's one of the best in the country.
- 21:44[SPEAKER_01]: and it's like Mike Hutsl said on the IE report.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_01]: Gotta do what Matt Painter does, and that's beat up on teams in the non-conference, whether they're good teams or bad teams.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta build that resume.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_01]: So last year, lost all those games of Mac Eoreen and still ended up with a foreseed, and that's why.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yep, so I'll play pretty quick and then there's successful stretch here and the non-conference and you've got some good opponents to play very well to do that.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_00]: I start to your 90s and so I go.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jake, you and I in the next day or two will react to this one and to produce do we need to talk football anymore?
- 22:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, uh, that was not fun.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_00]: That was, yeah, I think there's a there's a reason why we kind of forgot about.
- 22:34[SPEAKER_00]: football a little bit.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: Last time we talked.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_01]: 31 to 17 Jake and it was nowhere near that close.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was not.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_00]: You could just tell that the defense was not going to get will stop anybody all the way.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_01]: And the offense didn't do anything either.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_00]: They don't get a lucky
- 22:58[SPEAKER_00]: touchdown pass to Zator Townsend, and obviously the blocked pint return for a touchdown.
- 23:04[SPEAKER_00]: I mean those were two kind of plays it.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_00]: Probably aren't, you know, aren't going to happen.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_00]: You know, a time consistently.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: If you take a one or both of those away, obviously, it looks like a pretty large blow out.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, it kind of felt that way too, produced never was to like the head, much of a chance.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, last two games were their worst two performances of the year, and that's a shame.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is, but they're still open and got Maryland coming up here this weekend for homecoming, so still a chance.
- 23:38[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much, Jack.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, boiler up.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, if you ever hear a safe oyster, that's our edit word and everyone's a wild makes it into a podcast.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_01]: It's just bound to happen.
- 23:51[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Jake.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for listening.
- 23:55[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be back tomorrow.
