• 0:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to a special edition of the IU Report with Grant Shouse and my cuddle.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just grant today his reaction to the Hoosiers 8380 win over Syracuse on Monday night.
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was replayed.
• 0:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: courted as part of a plan for today's 10 minute report, then overnight decided that the 10 minute report is on delay for a couple of weeks.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Plus we went on for 25 minutes, so didn't really fit anyway, so please enjoy this reaction to I use win over Syracuse.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alright, Grant, it wasn't exactly a thing of beauty, but a win over Syracuse is a good win anytime, and uh...
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: particularly for a team that hadn't really been tested so far this year and um three and oh yeah good start um I'm kind of glad it was a close game for Indiana I think to play those kind of games kind of shows where this team that and shows they can compete with those kind of teams where as last year they could compete like they beat market in a neutral sight but it just felt like something was missing I feel like this team like we said like
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've talked about it on the IE report we talked about after Bellarman that this theme is so well-rounded and I think that.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think you've seen that, I think you've seen that, I think you will see that in these power four games, especially against the team like Syracuse.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Indianna'd only beat in Thuracuse one time ever, since they played, since they've started playing.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was the 1987 in the National Championship.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tonight was the first time in almost 40 years Indianna's beaten Syracuse.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Syracuse has had their number.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I remember a couple of this, like the NCAA Tournament 2013, Tom Crane couldn't figure out the two-three zone.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: couple years ago they went up they had to come back they went to double over time with them at the carrier down and they lost with Mike Woodson shocker so I remember the I remember the rematch the following year after 87 so I'll use one so dirt yes during Thanksgiving yeah I just you know to to beat a team like Syracuse that's
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had a legendary coach and they won an asshole championship.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've had a good solid program.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were associated with one of the best old conferences ever in the Biggie.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they've got tradition.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got kind of the tradition that Indiana has, although I think Indiana has more tradition, but that's the nice test for Indiana early on in the season, you know, to come out.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think so too, you know, they showed a lot of good things.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got high in Anthony Carmelo, Anthony Sun, who's a really good player.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really don't think Indiana played as well as they could have on Monday night.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really think that it was a game that, you know, they, they had to fight.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, they struggled.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: They faced adversity.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was one time they were one for their last 10, late in the second half.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they got going there and Harris did a couple of big threes.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Marcus Burton had 20 points and I he was fantastic.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Defensively, eh, not great.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rebounding wise, not great for a team that's supposed to rebound the ball very well.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I didn't think cement, you get to glue, had a really good game tonight, but they needed him down the stretch, they needed his presence.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: And my opinion in those close to games, again, I don't think he played all that great.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: But in my opinion, in those close games, you need to submit, you get totally on the floor.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: You needing for a size, you needing for a rebounding ability.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that you can throw Sam Alexis out there unless you absolutely have to to go and make the stops and pull down big rebounds.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: to get your offense going to get back down the floor and get a good shot.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: We know Indiana, or any hit a couple of clutch free throws to it.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was surprised.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I figured, you know, he might have the shack effect.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know Mike said if you do.
• 4:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, like the the hack of the met or something like that.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Indiana showed really good things early on in the season and we're only going to learn more about him.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: They play again on Thursday.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: They play Tennessee Tech.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: where Tennessee's tech coach, Tobin Anderson, Purdue fans will remember him.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what for, but I'm sure they'd know who he is.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then they play Arkansas, then they play Kentucky.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they've got three out of four games against power for opponents, Syracuse, Arkansas, Kentucky.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where we're gonna learn a lot about him.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it is a huge, huge win, and really sets the tone, especially for conference play at Vending Antigo's 3 and O in those games.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't think they're going to go three and oh, and those games do you I mean, I think they can you know, Arkansas absolutely got the doors blown off of them by apparently version of the dark.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think so, and that you know, all those games are our neutral site games.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is absolutely ridiculous that that game tonight was a game for its field house.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was absolutely ridiculous on the ticket prices.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I know I sound like, you know, an old man get off my lawn, but
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think those two teams are worth $120 a ticket to sit in the mid-level and watch them play.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think those two teams are at that level.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I get it if it's the Champions Classic and it's Duke versus Kansas or Florida versus Gonzaga or Florida versus Houston.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I get it for those games I don't I don't understand and I don't think these two teams are worth fan 120 bucks to go sit there and watch them play now don't get me wrong it was a great game that was a really good college basketball game and I enjoyed it but I'd rather stay home and watch it for free on my TV so that's where I'm at with it and then you know going on the road and playing Arkansas again in a neutral side game at Madison Square Garden it's like okay I get that
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: but then coming back, Greg and playing Kentucky at Lucas oil stadium, are you kidding me?
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me?
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I understand they're gonna play again.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: It did assembly all in 2029 or 2028, something like that.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that is absolutely ass-in-ine that they are going to play that game at Lucas oil stadium.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: When Kentucky will get the host two games.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, they'll get those two games at Reparine in this four-year stretch.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, just ridiculous.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that was all Mike Woods and John Calapare is doing.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, unfortunately.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mike, on vacation this week, he will be back next week.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: You and I will still be talking some IU and maybe get some Michelle and I know she was at the women's game tonight, like to get her take on that probably on tomorrow's 10-minute report.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: The polls came out today, I U five and six, no big surprise there tomorrow night.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're probably not too worked up about that either because probably not going to be any surprises there either.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, probably not like we said last week.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Indiana came in kind of where we expected them to round the four four mark I expect him maybe to be about five or six this week maybe they stay at four I don't know I don't know where the committee kind of values that Indiana by all means last week lost the by week if there is such a thing.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every team that Indiana needed to win all lost all of
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Notre Dame beating Miami, that might come in to be like the exact same thing you needed.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: You never know.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't mean that, for example.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean like Ohio State lost, who now is lost three games and is out.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, they're, they're, they're, they're done.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why is that bad for you?
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, because you want those teams to win, Ohio State beat them.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think you want those teams to win.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It helps your friends.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a different Ohio State team now.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to judge him completely differently.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You would think, but this is also the college football playoff committee.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Good point.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I, you does happen to lose one of these games, I guess.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: What I'm doing right now is assuming I use going to win their last three games.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I probably shouldn't do that.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's far fetched, but no, no, but, you know, last year if they were going into this stretch, I assume they're going to win all three.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the way they've pointed the last couple of games, you probably don't want to do that against USC.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, this Saturday, I don't want to go.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really shouldn't say this when I don't want to say it, but I'm going to is it kind of feels like a must-win, but at the same time, I think they'll be fine if they don't win.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want them to win.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll be at the game, obviously.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the next two Washington and Purdue, if you beat USC, but then somehow trip up and lose the Washington or God forbid Purdue, then yeah, you're in trouble.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Or if you lose to USC and then somehow trip up against Washington or Purdue or both, again, God forbid, then yeah, you're gonna be in some trouble.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I think when, and it doesn't matter.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, just winning your end.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is Saturday at Big Ten Championship elimination game.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think for Indiana, they need this game to make the conference title game.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Especially now, because now we know it's going to be the last one ever.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: They could have an opportunity to win the last ever big 10 championship.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's a big deal.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Since the last time you and I talked, there's been playoff expansion.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: How you feel about that?
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was the inevitable.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: They came out in an outfit on Monday and
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: My whole thing was, okay, where are they announce this?
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I thought we already knew this, you know?
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a shocker, you know, it's kind of like what we've talked about with the NCAA and it's something that Mike's been real adamant on is like, oh, everybody's all up and arms because they're expanding the the term at the 76 teams and and others going to be more games, but nobody is going to care when they sit down on that first day of the NCAA term and watch Oklahoma play, you know,
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: U.S.C.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: for a spot in the into, you know, for a spot around 64.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: No one's going to care.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, everybody's still going to sit down and watch it.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'll be honest, you know, I kind of thought that.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then when he said that, I'm like, you know, what he's got a good point here is like, yeah, there's more games that kind of sucks that kind of takes away the meaning from the regular season.
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you still don't think we're going to be arguing on who's going to be the last few teams in the playoff.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Great.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard this happen.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've heard this stupid argument since I was a little kid when I was saying why does every sport in the world determine their champion with a playoff except for this one.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I quit watching because I thought that was so stupid.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is the same format that the FCS plays.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like they're doing something completely foreign.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a break format.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: 24 teams out of however many teams they have is a good way to do it.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, they should include every conference champion.
• 11:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I understand they're not going to do that, which is stupid.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that first round's going to be fun, man.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the games that are
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: that our meaningful now will not be as meaningful in the future, but other games will be meaningful to get into the playoffs.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll just be different games that become more meaningful, plus every game, or matter, because seeding will matter every loss will cost you a seed.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: or two or three you meant in the FCS playoffs like last year for some reason I was so in tune on that FCS.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was because you had that FD that was playing.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's right.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they went to the hospital chamber to I watched that.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so championship game is all time classic.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I still think you're going to get
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Great college football games.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: College football is better than it ever has been this by far the field.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is yeah.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: This has been the craziest season in college football history.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, people talk about how utterly insane 2007 was.
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: But this year is this year is surpassed that you do not want to be a top one or two team right now.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: You do not want to be the one or two team in the country because.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: The number one or number two team in the country, they've all lost in the last five weeks.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You should have been around for 1984 and I can't remember the other years when there is one year, 1990, the two teams split.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of them had a loss and a tie and the other one had a got beat by 50 points in the last week of the regular season and they tied for the national championship.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's how things were done back at the past and it's just, oh my gosh, it's just horrible.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so glad they're fixing it.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of have some interest in college football again.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, you said there you quit watching and I thought when Auburn went undefeated and didn't even get to play for a national championship is when I went, this is stupid.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not watching it anymore.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's about Warren Matt with the NFL.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the NFL to an extent is such a joke.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: What can I say about first time in my life?
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can say I think the product of college football is better than the NFL product on the field.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that the NFL is too commercialized.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're out here.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: A cult player got fined earlier this year because
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: celebrating a touchdown someone handed in the ball and he pretended to twist the top off of it and pretended to drink it like a beer and he got fine.
• 14:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, how are you going to do that when
• 14:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: A brand of beer, a brand of beer is one of your main sponsors, you know, that's that you have a huge partnership with these companies, these these beer companies.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just think that's a bunch of crap.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's ridiculous that that it has to be that way.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when it comes to the playoffs, the NFL will completely take over and we'll be awesome like it is every year.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it isn't as entertaining from week to week as it has been in the past for me.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: it hasn't been it isn't as entertaining as it used to be.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: and partly this is because then i'm not afraid to admit it it's partly because indiana wasn't good and so you know my interest in college football was there like i've always watched it but now that your team is good you're now watching everybody else right remember where where at the same time like when they weren't good it's like yeah i was watching it but it was like oh well saturday yeah i'm a west college football today
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: like like now I literally on Sunday and depressed because the day of college football from the previous day is over and I just spent 14 hours on my couch watching it.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then on Monday I'm going, well, who's playing this week?
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got great games on man.
• 15:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait till Saturday.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's where I'm at here.
• 15:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the NFL just doesn't carry the weight that college does for me.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, I don't like the people that can't accept that the NFL just isn't a good product or isn't as good of a product as college football is.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: The people who can't accept that is what's really frustrating.
• 15:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hello, Monday night game going on right now, though, that might be your Super Bowl this year.
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've got it on.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not even the bills can score against the Vikings, it's insane.
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Vikings every single game they play is within a touchdown, because they can't score and nobody can score against them.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and it just seems like the NFL comes down to that every single week, like the cult.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've been awful this year.
• 16:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: One of their worst years yet, and they're still playing close to games.
• 16:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're not getting the doors blown off of them every week.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now they have this year, but they're still playing competitive games.
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's as competitive as it's ever been, but the cults are putting guys in games where I'm like, who is that?
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where does this guy come from?
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm never heard of this guy, that to me is where it's at.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you just mentioned the Super Bowl, but I like the Super Bowl.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's something I really do look forward to no matter who's playing in it.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not opportunity to get together with my guys
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: sit around and watch it a lot of them, you know, we haven't seen in a while and was going on about four or five years that was going over to someone's house and sitting back, getting pizza, watching TV, you know, watching the game, and making jokes about what's going on, you know, I think one year we were behind a couple plays on our stream and I and it worked for a while like for a few plays.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were behind and I pulled it up on my phone and I had like the game
• 17:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, man, it'd be something a Patrick Mahomes has loaded up an eight yard pass to the right side off the Travis Kelsey.
• 17:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then it would happen, everybody, how'd you do that?
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: How'd you do that?
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then you do it again, and then they'd start catching on.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that is one of the things I enjoy.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if my team, like if the colds were in the Super Bowl or even like IU with the National Championship last this past year, I would absolutely never ever watch that with a group of people.
• 18:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just me and Susie when it's the big ones.
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the way I want it.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Huh, when the Pacers went at this year.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then we, she promised me that we'd get to go to the celebration or the parade.
• 18:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: One or the other, because we didn't win the colds one, because, quote, unquote, it was too cold.
• 18:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, this year, it won't be cold.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, it's gonna happen.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna happen, I, I am.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's still early.
• 18:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know they still got guys out.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to start winning more games.
• 18:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to get out of Burton.
• 18:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully fully healthy from that hamstring and they'll be good.
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're up right now.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Five points in Dallas.
• 18:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, I come at 26 points a half time to that.
• 18:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: How much time's left midway through the third quarter.
• 18:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to turn that game.
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: If Kyrie Irving would just stop making three pointers, then this would be easy.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: No kidding, but it ain't that easy always.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's the third best point guard I've ever seen behind Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas.
• 19:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: The third best, I think so.
• 19:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not Stephen Curry.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really consider him a point guard.
• 19:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's more of a two.
• 19:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 19:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're if you include Curry, then of course.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Curry is ahead of him, but okay.
• 19:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I met as a ball handler, a distributor, guy who can also score, man, he is just so good.
• 19:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a shame that his NBA career is mostly gotten caught up in controversies and weird situations and, uh, but man, is he clutch?
• 19:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is clutch.
• 19:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, hit that three in the 2016 NBA finals.
• 19:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I always thought I'd say a Thomas was the best ball handle ever saw and I think Kyrie Irving may be better.
• 20:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And man, I say I could flat out score the rock, he could score the rock.
• 20:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, was he good.
• 20:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's just an all, again, tie this back to IU.
• 20:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So with Mike gone this week, this might serve as our IU report, but we'll definitely have a U.S.E preview later in the week, whether it's with Grant or maybe Grant and Shell's.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody, maybe a guest, we will see, but we'll definitely have a preview at some point.
• 20:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And also Grant and Michelle and I and Kevin, we'll be making our regional predictions later this week, and we decided we're gonna do all 24 games, so that'll be fun.
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to, and there's some good games this week.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've got the O'Kill will play a game on Friday in the regional championship.
• 20:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So everybody's talked up, will play all year.
• 20:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't gotten a chance to see him, and I'll get to see him Friday night.
• 20:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, you should've seen him on this Friday.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're played an unbeaten team and they were up 48 to nothing I have to.
• 20:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: That unbeaten team Greg was one of the most overrated, I think, in the state.
• 21:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I get you, they are, for sure, but it was an undefeated team that they were ahead of 48 to nothing after.
• 21:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's impressive no matter how overrated a 10 and O team is.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I know that wasn't all I you related there at the end, but again, this was planned for the 10 minute report.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: The 10 minute report is on delay for a couple of weeks, as we make some exciting changes coming up here at the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: really look and forward to unveiling it over the next couple of weeks.
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for listening.
• 21:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: The IE report and the Central Indiana Sports Report are products of ITG media and I love Susan.
