• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome Central Indiana Sports Fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report and a Friday afternoon edition of the Ten Minute Report.
• 0:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm your host Greg Mengeau, and I love Central Indiana Sports.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Coming up, Tyreys Halliburton returns to the fieldhouse in Indianapolis after a long absence of what is going to be an emotional home opener for the Indiana Pacers Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: 30 point exhibition win in Fort Wayne on Thursday and we get you ready for IU Michigan and Colts Vikings.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Plus high school football post seasons begin tonight and a local college basketball.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did you know your 10 minute report begins now?
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tonight is clearly going to be a very emotional night in downtown Indianapolis, a game bird's fieldhouse is Tyrease.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Halle Burton comes home.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm sure he will get the welcome of a lifetime seven o'clock tonight against the Mavericks.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: While we saw him getting back on the floor on Wednesday and New Orleans, that was a big moment.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now he gets to share that moment with the fans who wrote every twist and turn of that incredible finals run with him and his teammates.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: just a few months ago.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Haliburton returned on Wednesday with 23 points and 12 assists in the 1-23-120 come from behind opening night victory in New Orleans, and while tonight's game is going to be very emotional, there is a game to be played, and that's going to be one of the challenges tonight dealing with those emotions in the inner has to be able to.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Handle the emotion settled down into the office and keep their attention up against what looks like an up and coming Dallas team that has a future Hall of Famer and a potential superstar in Cooper Flag, who's already giving the fans in Dallas, reasons to get excited about their future.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: The reigning rookie of the year had 32 points in the Mavericks opening loss at Houston, and Kyrie Irving, of course, gives the Mavericks another dangerous creator.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Aaron needs Smith to miss the season opener and he's questionable tonight with a hamstring injury.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: His availability could be key tonight, because he would most likely be the player defending Cooper Flags, so hope to have Aaron needs Smith making his season debut tonight.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bacers last started 2-0 and 23-24, beating Washington Cleveland.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: the night would give them their second 3-0 start in the last 3 years.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Paces are 7 and a half-point favorite in according to ESP and analytics.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have about a 60-7% chance of winning this game.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tip off again is a 7 o'clock with local coverage on CBS 4.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can also buy them on the design app, which is not great, but way better than it was the last few years with what was at Fandwell and something was awful.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue pulled away after half time for a 92-62 exhibition when at Purdue Fort went on Thursday at the Allen County Field House, Boilermaker shot 71% in the second half.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Freshman Antoine West led Purdue with 16 points followed by Omer Meyer with 15 C.J.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cox really nice 13 points.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Daniel Jacobson finished with 11 most of those coming in the second half when they finally decided to start.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: working inside out.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jack Bitter had 10 rebounds as the boiler makers outrebounded the mass that on's 42 to 17.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, welcome Jake Dunn to talk about Purdue 2nd of 3 exhibition games.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, Jake, I don't know if you're like me, but I spent the first half thinking this is not going to be a very good team this year and the second half thinking man, this could be a pretty good team this year.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the polar makers certainly did not get off to a great start here in their win against Purdue Fort Wayne.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of thinking the same thing as like, oh, you may not be as good as it's what we looked in, you know, against Ball State.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I was impressed with the turnaround there in the second half and made me very appreciative to have a coach like Matt Painter and people on a staff there that are able to, you know, in the second half.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: make those adjustments a half time and in the second half we saw a lot less 3.0 attempts.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Saw a lot more touches in the paint a lot more points in the paint.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that ultimately led to the lead limiting into what the file score was.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, God, they could make the second half adjustments, but yeah, the first half was pretty rough.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And there were a lot of good performances on Thursday night, but really CJ Cox and Juan West really stood up.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Antoine West had a nice, y'all been just kind of stalling there a little bit in the first half, and he had back to back three a second.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And my first half notes, Jake, said everything was horrible except for Antoine West and CJ Cox.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: My first half notes, kind of said if it wasn't for Antoine West and CJ Cox, this would have been a lot worse.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yes it would have, you know, the over-mire, you know, looked better and, you know,
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: offensive performance, you was doing some winning things for Purdue, and it is really kind of made rebounding part of this identity, which I think will be very important this year.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, for South of Stuff, but it gave you some confidence that produced able to make adjustments.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it looks like Caden Pierce fits in Jack Bender had 10 rebounds.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Inzo shoving 4-5 had some good stuff, and Luke Irdle's guy that's just gotta be on the quartered all time.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: 6 rebounds for Sys.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a puzzle that you and I and Coach Painter are gonna be trying to figure out all here, isn't it?
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is, so we'll be sure to send him our notes and thoughts.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure he'll take that in the consideration, but yeah, it's a nice problem to have.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have the interesting to see how the starting lineup evolves.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: If it all over the course of the year or so, I know Matt Painter is typically somebody who likes to try to keep a starting line up the same if you can, but he's not afraid to make changes, as you've seen, you know, throughout his career.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And a couple hours from now, Jake and I will have our full conversation posted on the Central Indiana Sports Report Networks, so make sure you're subscribed and check that out.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: The six rank Indiana Hoosiers had to Michigan on Saturday looking to respond to their first loss of the season, their first loss in 20 months.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's the kickoff game on Fox again, at noon in Ann Arbor,
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: After the 1915 loss to Ohio State, be interesting to see if the Hoosiers didn't get their running game going again and give Josh Hoover a little more help against another really good defense.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: They need to finish driving and turn their opportunities into touchdowns, and I'm sure they'll have no problem when in this one.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And there's good news on that front as well, running back Kobe Martin is available on Saturday a port, according to the injury port, coming off his arm injury, and that should give the Hoosier's a boost in the back court.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michigan has expected to start true freshman Tommy Carter back, and as we heard from Coach
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: make him uncomfortable in his first start.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Grand Shaston and Mike Hudsel did a full preview of that one on the Central Indian Sports Report Network.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Also, we'll have a clip from that coming up after the 10-minute report in Bonestown.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: The cults visit unbeaten Minnesota on Sunday with kickoff at 1 o'clock.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Another local team that needs to respond after they're horrible, horrible lost to the titans and the firing of Chris Ballard.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: The latest verified practice injury port still has several important names to watch.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sasquartner, Tyler Warren, Rigoberto, Sanchez, Anthony Gold, all missed practice.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: On Thursday, if any of those guys miss on Sunday, much less all of them.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: going to be a rough go in Minnesota.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Gardner's dealing with a calf injury, Warren missed last week's game with a growing injury.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sanchez has a foot injury after having a pump blocked and gold is in concussion protocol.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Jonathan Taylor, Shavayaris Ward, Andrew Ogropree, where all full participants Thursday, the unbeaten Vikings on the other hand, not a single player on their injury report.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Difficult game on Sunday, their season kind of hangs in the balance, and will hear more from Dave and Will, rather, for on the culture report on that one.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And a quick bear's note after they beat the Patriots, 30 to 24 on Thursday, not to improve to 5 and 2,
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Caleb Williams threw for three hundred and eight yards and two touchdowns, Cairo Santos finished it with a 58-yard fuel goal.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Chicago keeps the pressure on the Vikings in the NFC Central and I think there are legit Super Bowl contender.

• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the IE report from Grant Chowes and Mike Hudsel tonight is Indiana travels to Ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday to take on the Michigan Wolverines, looking about back after the loss to Ohio State last week, Mike.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: With the way Indiana kind of the question marks, maybe, or if there are some question marks entering this week, what do you think some of those are?
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right off the bat here as the Thursday night it looks like a pretty clean injury report Kobe Martin looks like he'll be available And hopefully Indiana can just kind of get the bad taste out of their mouth from last week Well first things first year.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: You're absolutely right.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean you just can't let him I'll say beat you twice You have to put everything that happened behind you the heart breaker they came out of it
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Relatively unscathed and less Kurt Signetti is just a myster or a hiding and doing bill bell check on the injury report because there wasn't a single name on it.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: I saw this week Michigan at 15 on their side of the ledger.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: So just no hangover from last week.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: You got to come out.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: You got to be focused.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is a bit of a rejuvenated Michigan team.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're feeling pretty good about, you know, a change they made at quarterback last week and they're looking for a big win this year.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: pretty disappointing.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: They beat Oklahoma, but they lost the Minnesota, lost Iowa, lost the Western Michigan.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: Let's be real.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they need they are looking for a big win for coach winning game and they're feeling pretty, pretty proud of themselves after that whenever Penn State last week.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: One of the things that I look at here and I guess what kind of jumps out to you and what you've heard is that Michigan's defense is really, really good, you know, despite pretty much losing the Western Michigan, they did their defense, held him to 12 points and still almost lost the game after Western Michigan kicked four field goals, thanks a lot, Walt Bell, and, again, Michigan's defense is really good, but,
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: One of the keys here I think for Indiana early on on Saturday is they have to get off to a good start.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think if they can get up double digits early on this Michigan team, get up 14, 17 points even, be up 14, up and 17, up and 17, up and 17, 3, 14, 3 somewhere in there.
• 14:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they're in good shape because I don't think Michigan has the offense that can compete with how great Indiana's defenses because Indiana's defense there was some question marks at the beginning of the season and you've been going in the last week at against Ohio State.
• 14:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think against Ohio State hopefully put some of that to bed.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Their defense was outstanding.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: They pretty much took away Jeremiah Smith other than the one
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like Indiana's chances on Saturday, but they've got to get off to get the start.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and Michigan's not a team that's equipped to come from behind.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're just not there.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're very much a run run oriented team.
• 14:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: Their defense is what they're, they're proud it on.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: If you can get an early lead on that team and put pressure on the true freshman quarterback or Tommy Carr, younger brother of CJ Carr, another name, legacy Michigan name, everybody knows who's
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: even though you won't have a national title less than Kurt Signetti, but, you know, matter if you're nor there.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, Michigan's often just is not equipped to be a uh, come from behind roster.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's just not what they're hanging their hat on.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: They want to get you into the mud.
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: They want to maybe get a lead on you early so that they can start pounding you with their run game.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: And that's Michigan's demo.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: Ironically,
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: one of the quarterbacks that I was concerned with for his prowess in the running game this year.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: For Indiana was Bryce Underwood, but he was so bad, so so bad and every other game they played this year.
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: They had to make the change that they did and Carr came in last week and look pretty good.
• 15:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, and Michigan is honoring Tom Allen's legacy this week by kind of maybe throwing two quarterbacks out there.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, Bryce Linderwood may play, may not, but right now it's looking like Tommy Carr will probably be the starter.
• 16:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Defensively, Michigan is holding teams to about 265 yards a game.
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Indiana's averaging 270 yards a game.
• 16:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a good sign again, games not played on paper, but when you look at that, you know like Indiana's chances after they put up an average of 450 yards a game.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Indiana's holding teams to 270 yards a game as well.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Penalty wise, Indiana's still one of the least penalized teams in America.
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: 24 penalties this year and time of possession just about the same Indiana's just under 29 minutes of time of possession about 28 minutes 53 seconds Michigan 28 minutes 16 seconds and Indiana's better on third down 46 percent conversion rate It seems like the stat that every team is beaten Indiana and it's forked down
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: especially Michigan's going 71% conversion rate on fork down this year.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Defensively, you could maybe make the argument that Michigan's defense is better, but I think kind of the stats tell a different story in a way.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: Indiana more tackles, more tackles for loss 55 tackles for loss this year.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Michigan's only at 39 tackles for loss, both teams, six interceptions, Indiana is getting more pressure on the quarterback this year than Michigan has, 31 QB Hurries.
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure back when back when you were covering games, Mike and as long as you've watched college football, they weren't keeping track of QB Hurries like they are now, but Indiana's 31 QB Hurries on the season
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the scary thing is about Michigan defensively, you know, we've talked so much about Indian, it's got to get a run game going, Indian is got to get a run game going.
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know that Michigan's necessarily the defense to do that against.
• 18:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: That is a huge concern to me.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting Kobe Martin back, hopefully that's a bit of a joke for the run game, but I've watched Michigan on and off their game against.
• 18:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever bad thought you had of the Penn State, Michigan game going in and how the game should probably be played on Comedy Central or something, it lived up to every bit of that until they made the key reach.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's a bad bad offense, but their defense can change the outcome of the game.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: They couldn't make a quarterback look bad.
• 18:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: And Hoover is kind of just got a, he's got to let it rip.
• 18:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: I will beat this team throwing the football.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: which is stunning to say, but I would have did.
• 18:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, having Hoover back there, having the wider steers that this team has is an advantage, but, because I really, really have concerns again about any kind of being able to establish or run game against this Michigan front.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Jake, Mike, and Grant.
• 19:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for listening.
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: We will be back on Saturday with so much more.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the 10 minute report, that sounded really weird, didn't it?
• 19:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: It sounded like I was doing an outdoor voice, didn't it?
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so much more on the bar room, too.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've burnt the dock.
• 20:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: The 10-minute report and the Central Indian Esports Report are products of ITG media.
• 20:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I love Susie.
