• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: We called the game for the action sports network.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: Grant, I didn't figure this was gonna be easy for Franken as easy as it may have looked when you look at the records, but in the end, eight wins in a row, how'd they get it done?
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't easy, I can tell you that.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is a really showed a lot of fight, a lot of toughness in the, really the entire game.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Mrs. Sinimal had scored 31 total against Delta last Saturday.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: On Tuesday, we saw them only scored 27.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they had scored more points in the first half on Friday against Franklin than they did the entire game against Final Fantasy.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he said they're taking the whole weekend off after this one to, uh, get healthy, get a kind of get away from each other a little bit, get from being sick, so we're time a year now or kind of warm in February, so, but anyways, back to the game, Frank didn't really played well in the second half.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Actually got up as many as 10 at one point in the second half.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mrs. Sinoff all climbed all the way back into it, cut it to three.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: After a ravey on Fets and one to cut it to three, and then Josh Brooks picked up a technical foul late for Mrs. Sennowall.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thought ravey on Fets may have been fouled a chance to make it at one point game if he would have gotten fouled, because he would have had three throws.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were in the bonus.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: He felt like Fets got fouled, Frank didn't got the rebound.
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mrs. Sennowall had to foul coach Brooks was not happy with the officials.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Got nailed with the technical and then nailed it
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Miss Sinole also had the foul there.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: So Isaac Fair went to the line with 18 seconds and shot eight free throws in the final 18 seconds at the game to see what he really stepped up and played well for them.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: He scored six points.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I all at the foul line there in the last 18 seconds.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So Frank didn't pull the way to win.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: 62 to 50.

• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: Here's my friend Jake Dunl, with a preview.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: Jake, you and I were texting on Wednesday night during the Michigan Northwestern game when the Northwestern had that insane 18 point lead and we thought Michigan might lose.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Really, we need just Michigan to lose one game and Purdue.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: is right back with the chance to win this big-to-in championship.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: But in order to do that, you got to win games like Adioweth.
• 11:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: You do, and it's a rematch crop.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Virginia Ray matchup, and it was off yet where Purdue was able to edge out a win.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: 79-72, and the Silahawk as team.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they were hot that day.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Purdue, though I reason pretty wanted.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And a big part was sprayed smith in his second half effort.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he approved me some clutch.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: play as numbers stretch as well.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I this would be a nice sweep to this season series since the first opponent produced played twice this year and certainly big implications to the big 10 title race, like you mentioned.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Bruce basically got a win out from from here on out to have a chance.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mission State did fall to Wisconsin here last night.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Illinois still
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue so and that crash was in there of course to if Michigan State kind of keeps losing here and if Purdue can can be Michigan and no one in Nebraska can can drop a game Purdue can be be right there at the top.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: And in C.A.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Tournament seeding as well and big 10 tournament seeding it's not just winning the big 10.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talked to the nine about, you know, about
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: having extra game in the big 10 tournament that maybe isn't necessarily what earlier wants, but it certainly help out.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brad Smith is getting his record.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but to your point, you know, everyone matters.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's going to help pretty get a higher seed and hopefully you'll get a play a little bit closer to help in some of their, some of their first and second round sites and the regional site.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as we know, the final force in the NAP was so, you know, I thank you.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: and just get there and the rest will take care of itself.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: Jake, if Purdue finishes in fifth place in the Big Ten, it is the worst thing in the world.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: I expected to win the Big Ten coming into the year.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: If they finished fifth, I'll be very disappointed.
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's all I'm saying.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be disappointed too.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but I don't want Brayden Smith to have that extra thing.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't care about that record that much.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, much rather have a Purdue win out here.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Luckily, Purdue's offense is built around efficiency and high execution, so players like Braiden Smith, Flush or Wire, and other guys like that, they're going to need to generate and create clean looks, not only for themselves, but for those around them.
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I may take ball security obviously, it's going to be a big key, Purdue averages around eight turnover to game and conference play.
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can kind of.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: keep their average.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They won the turnover battle against Iowa last time.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: They barely out rebounded Iowa.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so that, you know, that kind of helps them stay afloat against Iowa when they're shooting, you know, as well as they were.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, um, not turn the ball over, you know, dummy and glass.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like we saw last game against Nebraska, just making your shots,
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: that ultimately is going to pay off and they've produced a victory here.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: Jake ESPN analytics has produced 58.9 percent.
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: How are you feeling about it?
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's probably going to be a little bit closer.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'd say probably like 52 percent.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was off in minutes starts to mean we we kind of know what he's done for them given night and kind of went off.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was lost at Maryland.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had 32 points in his when at home against Northwestern before they're lost in Maryland.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were on a six game big tin win streak.
• 15:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So when they're they are still a good team.
• 15:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: pretty good after bring the right game and they can win on a little road trip to Nebraska and Iowa if they can take both of those games and make a pretty nice year.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: Jake Purdue 88 76 take it to the back.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, yeah, I hope you're right.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope you're right.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we'll react to it on Sunday's podcast, Jake.
• 16:09

  [SPEAKER_03]: And here is my conversation with Kyle Williams about the Alexandria Boys and Girls.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Kyle, let's start off talking about the boys tonight, and I think the most impressive thing about the performance was how many different dice contribute.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we had a, thank everybody, but two players score tonight.
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody came in off the bench, got some playing time.
• 18:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: We had a running clock for most of the second half.
• 18:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: get some of those younger players in and get to be quality time.
• 19:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's the 11th win of the season.
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: Looks like this team starting to come together.
• 19:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're playing with a lot of pace.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're really pressure in the ball getting a lot of turnover.
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I had.
• 19:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: 21 turnovers on Madison Grant some of an Alexandria had 13, but they're really pressure ball nice cutting off some passes and you kind of see some that that football skill fuller and that clear beat up and go and jumps and passes and so those deep balls that they try to try to throw they're able to get up underneath some and and get those turnovers.
• 19:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: You watching the Alexandria football, there's no doubt that this basketball team has some athletes.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
• 19:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's all that Eccler led the Tigers with 14 points who played well, who else played well for Alexandria.
• 19:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, somebody I've really been impressed with the last couple of games, I've been in Canfield.
• 20:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been coming in off the bench, and it's scoring some points, but just trying to take it up to space is a bigger player.
• 20:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's one of the bigger guys on the team, and just getting in there and just
• 20:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: being a utility guy and and taking advantage of the opportunities he's been having but I think he's been playing really well the last couple of games and up next is a game against Franklin, Franklin's one eight in a row really good team that's going to be a really good test.
• 20:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah they're going to be they're going to be tough they've got some size and they
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly what Marty's plan is going to be for that, but they can be a matchup problem really.
• 20:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're going to tell you hard, their coach very well, they can go and score some points on you.
• 21:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: And of course, Coach Carroll and Coach Props, and we're on the same staff for 10 years, so they're a little familiar with each other.
• 21:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Marty came over there and kind of brought some of that gars cone, basketball's philosophy stuff over to Frank's and I think, and they know each other well, they know each other's thoughts well, and so it's always that it's always kind of a mind battle, I guess, a basketball mind battle when it comes to Frank's and an Alexandria because this coaches are so close.
• 21:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: I know that on the Franklin Eagles report this week on Thursday, Coach Braxton said his years with Coach Carroll were invaluable in installing some of that Garth Stove.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh hold on.
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: I messed up.
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
• 21:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't.
• 21:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: Installing some of that Garth Cone philosophy into the Franklin program.
• 22:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my family was close friends with Coach Cone, and he was always a mentor and was like a father to me.
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he was just such a basketball brain.
• 22:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's obviously a hall of favor.
• 22:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been a lot to the city of Alexandria and to the community.
• 22:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: And still does.
• 22:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really do miss that man.
• 22:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been gone for a little bit, but I spent a lot of my childhood at his house and in watching the boys and growing up with his sons and getting play in the driveway.
• 22:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just what he's done for Alexandria basketball and still staying that tree or those branches of Garth Cone still coaching here at Alexandria with Marty and along with
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: running his teams to where they're part of the community, the student athletes are out there doing things, working with the young people.
• 23:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I really do miss, miss Garth.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Being able to talk to him and then through my coaching that I've done in the past few years, really wish he was around so I could go and
• 23:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: call him and pick his brain about some stuff.
• 23:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: He just had so much knowledge of the game.
• 23:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: All right, of course.
• 23:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: All right, let's talk some girls basketball.
• 23:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, Saturday afternoon at Marion, it's Alexander against Oak Hill for the Regional Championship.
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: These two teams play just a couple of weeks ago.
• 23:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, you were there.
• 23:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: We talked a little bit about this already, but tell me,
• 23:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: What are the Tigers going to need to do to change their fortunes this time around?
• 24:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, shots.
• 24:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a battle on the boards for sure.
• 24:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Breed Daily brings a lot to that team when it comes to rebounding.
• 24:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And even blocking shots when somebody gets in the pain.
• 24:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: But the Tigers are going to bring pace and pressure.
• 24:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're going to go and do what
• 24:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: just do what they do.
• 24:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: When you're dealing with Mickey, a Mickey-Hosier coach team, you know what they're going to do.
• 24:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know what the, what's the, I'm gonna try this again.
• 24:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: No problem.
• 24:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: Make sure you pause, so I give, that's a note to myself that with there's a mistake, all right?
• 24:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: And go.
• 24:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: When you've got a Mickey-Hosier,
• 24:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Coach team, you know what he's going to bring.
• 24:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: We have a we have a system here that That I think everybody knows you're going to see a one three one here.
• 25:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to see pressure We're going to be trying to push the ball up the court So we're going to we're going to really bring pace to the game But I think that I think a lot of it's going to be the rebounded battle and Keep them breathe and tell you a little bit
• 25:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty impressive what Mickey's done this year after losing the Empire of starting lineup.
• 25:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're absolutely right.
• 25:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think like I said before, you graduate six, you need to graduate 53 points.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: How do you get that?
• 25:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: That up.
• 25:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 25:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: How do you make that up?
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think a lot of it does come from, we have Mickey has a system.
• 25:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And when I was a coach in the middle school,
• 25:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: uh, along with Amanda Kissler and Eric Davidson, um, we tried to go and get those 7th and 8th grade girls ready to just hand over to Nekki, we used a lot of his stuff, and, uh, I think they're familiar with this, so that's why you see the freshman being able to come in and be able to get playing time and be able to kind of slide right into the program and contribute.
• 26:20
