the cell phone looking thing on a web site and you can watch us also look at us on your cell phones or i pads or waving you right now here from a central hammond indiana mart for a good to have you here this evening big college basketball we talk all the time and basketball game and the people who play it it's tremendous it's he must spend a little time watching games yes guessing as he said he would spend about ten to twelve hours on saturdays and he has kids and they'll then they allow it and a wife yeah he's my hero he just might be my hero you know i would start out of there in the break if you ever watch that movie network and they have that they have the fan cave one one person a year gets to watch every single game of major league baseball season the get go to games get the wash in their studio enough then the fan cave we do that and see a basketball fan cave somebody watched every game of the season i can tell you this man cave for m l b baseball games that sounds like it's a brutal punishment torturous almost can you really sit and watch the orioles and the rays or the cubs and the brewers i i'm with k c i'd much prefer to watch twenty minutes a half full of of college kids going out there fighting each other on the court before nine innings of of summer by marcus foster who's going to win the game right you know i'm going to take kansas you know spread is what you know i don't really pay attention to the spreads that much i just like pick games and who i think's going to win i don't really get it get too upset or worried about the saying there's too much firepower for kansas right now with three black he's a transfer from memphis came in this year he's doing some work off the bench you have who i think right now is number one pick in the draft for next year he's average ten or fifteen points a game but he's been eight when you know that's taking over a program and look at what he's done just would do some good coaching and he's got the kids having fun out there and but i mean there's some parity too you look at you know i you lost three starters produce hasn't had five  very good starters brandon dawson goes down a mission instate and now they go up and lose it was constant i mean the big ten george they like to beat up on each other and it really has been some good basketball this year was going to be a year that illinois was going to be very much and then coach gross takes in it's a term and they get to the think the second round or third round when they lost to miami but this year they just has not clicked together chemistry wise you know if it's the young guys not coming your heart pumping thank you thanks for the call all right george right there and another great thing about the big ten is the big the networks show the journey oh yeah and sunday nights for me but they've been moving around time wise hoosiers were winning at the half weren't they they were not the greatest game time coach that you have there in mr crean no he said that he just crunch time he really makes some questionable decisions he got out of coaching the you know absolutely absolutely he did by the rookie coach for minnesota but the rookie coach has a better team on the floor i don't know could be but you know he it was it was a twelve point turnaround i think from first to second in a minute he's got minnesota playing some bass we brought some life some youth and some life to that to the program and i i was a big players and i don't know about you but if i had my choice between a warmer school and minnesota as much as i would've liked to have played for tubby smith i'm going to a warm school it's cold up there it's cold here it's really really cold up there yeah they they had the record days when we had that snowstorm early on in january they had fifty below zero wasn't snow but they had fifty below zero six below zero i think it was the coldest day in american history on the temperature on the thermometer up there yeah people leave their faucets running and it's still freezes that good not good at all that good but the big ten has been good but it's another another year where i think they're heading towards beating each other up not getting far in the tournament and getting trophy how many teams going to make the tournament from the big ten five or six let's see what will say wisconsin ohio state michigan is going to get in michigan michigan state michigan state the for minnesota possibly could be could be a bubble team iowa yeah iowa that's it i mean it's not looking good for produce where you are right now are looking out look at and i should say look at in this year but he's right georgia is right they have been the games have been fun to watch yeah it's been one of the best years they were last year a lot of a lot of great games for the big time but this year has been  northwestern and yet are for those guys i mean they just those geeks haven't taken it to the chin for how many years in a row yeah well it's they've been calling for a coaching change up there for for some time  but you know they took their time and they got the right guy there's no question but he wants to be there and they want him there and he's showing his tremendous promise right out of the gates is as being a  top level coach in the big ten and he's going to you watch and see once he starts bring in some of his own players collins goes in and sits down in your living room offering you a scholarship to northwestern that's going to be a tough one to turn down yes it is and for collins and northwestern they are on the rise and they're going to be there might be an idea this year they are going to finish with the record right around or right above five hundred and i think it's a big sell for to get north wasn't in there a lot over the country absolutely and they spend money they do spend money a good friend of northwestern is of a friend of our ours they are at station and dr warren brown he has foresight seats at the northwestern games really yes pretty cool isn't it i sat last year i said floor side against state actually northwestern game a pretty good game we said us but he was quick to point out that they don't have agencies now he's just a very close friend a close friend of the family that looking out for his interests exactly yet have somebody looking out for your interests yeah he sure sometimes if you don't your own day you don't have time to look out for going to be there for but he's i think he's got him winning more games and they thought that they were going to have him winning so brad stevens is a good coach butler that's a lot this year right above right about five hundred  coach miller has a kid from three g coming in there next year butler just really not worthy of talking about at this point the sure i think they thought they were doing a bit better out in the big east this year than they are a couple overtime games and you have good teams in creighton and st louis villanova and that conference that are dominating and looking at this big east conference a team that i have really enjoyed watching the  fox sports channel is great and doug mcdermott they play pretty good game don't they they do creighton who are they playing this week let's see creighton they have butler coming up on the thirteenth should be a nice game eat dinner raji nine of them ninth reason than raji you know they've had a taste they've had a taste of the dance and you know you get a taste for it it's like in and out burger for me once you've had a taste of it you know you know you're always going to want it crane's playing like they want it right absolutely they want to go back number seventeen in the country had a had a bad loss over the weekend lost the st john's a pretty guy was on the sidelines defeated but he's back on the sideline and great guys at the beginning of the season was in it he was down was it yeah he was out for quite some time right with the st johns but steve leavened came up one of the liking so coach katie and webber went out to u c l a want to title in the ninety's with the o'bannon boys my mother in law would like to see him back in lafayette really i think so i think so and she's probably not alone in that more and they were playing strong ball for you know two three four years in a row that was his opportunity to really you know put the pedal down and bring in top talent and he missed his opportunity that's tough i've been thinking about that for a lot being here being a pretty station and what i was thinking is why teams like indiana pretty to illinois and the big ten boy i i'm not convinced that he made the right decision you know kentucky he's going to be you know they may not lose five this year ok they lost what five or six last year they're five think power of the six left and they may not lose five so he might not start for them next year depending on who goes you know so i don't know what he's been promised or if he's been promised anything at all you know it's obviously  to get picked to get the opportunity to go play for kentucky but you know two or three years said michigan state for him might have been fantastic you know that's why we go back to smart sticking around and playing another year obviously it certainly goes against my my suggestion for tyler us but because he could be losing money he could have dropped calls himself some some damage in the in the the year after that i mean i don't know you know and you look at what the kid like brandon dawson is meant to michigan state local kid in i think his game transfers to the n b a they're hurting there  hurting from the loss of him right now absolutely broken hand back in a table after beating indiana he didn't like his effort he is you know he does the intangibles he goes any and he and he plays defense and he's athletic on the boards and and he can take the ball when he needs to and he is and he is benefiting from three three seasons now with time and it's going to help them in the n b a they can be a role player six guy i don't think you'll he's got to be a better shooter i have a feeling he's going to make more money than you and i would comprehend for many years if he stays healthy in the n b a he's got to develop a jump  shot i mean he can play you know fifteen to seventeen feet from the basket i mean he's an athletic specimen he's a beast he's quick he gets the boards and he plays defense and that's the thing and big guys that play defense get an extra  and he's a good local kid to a boot feel good story look at it look at him and and clint robson the third those are two best chances for an n b a star who do you like better you know  i i was so impressed with robinson and what he did last year i really didn't see i'd gone and watched a few of his games when he was at lake central and you know i didn't i honestly didn't see him stepping up to the degree that he did last year i mean he had some big games and crucial talk a crucial times last year for michigan as a freshman mean he showed a lot he said that boy play the he can play ball he's terrific you know he's had a little bit of a let you know let up this year but you know i don't i don't think he's going on the draft again this year but he gets another year and they have a healthy team he's  shot better shot you don't brennan dawson shot is not smooth it's not a smooth shot it's something that he probably needs to work on to get for the next level you know to expand his game he is marked for it i'm ryan walsh here monday night february tenth of twenty fourteen n c a a insiders coached the gotti he's up in michigan tonight playing against grand rapids college we will talk about kansas state and kansas next as well as north carolina duke we've got a great trio of rivalry games on
