Show notes
(00:00 - 27:43) - It's Friday, Kevin's shirt is back on, and we have some Sweet Sixteen games to recap. Gonzaga and UCLA had an absolute thriller. UCLA launches a huge comeback only to barely fall short against Gonzaga. Julian Strawther shot and hit a game winner in his hometown of Las Vegas. 0 Big Ten teams have made the Sweet Sixteen in the last two tournaments. The Florida Atlantic Owls reach their first Elite Eight in program history. This is Kansas State's third Elite Eight since 2010, but both times prior they lost to a Mid-Major University. Could the same happen with Florida Atlantic?
(27:44 - 33:58) - Morning Checkdown
(33:59 - 44:51) - Jake will be live at Broad Ripple Tavern doing a Jack Daniels Pop-A-Shot with cash prize potential later today. Jake goes over his first night with the new cat. IU's first player has entered the transfer portal, Logan Duncomb out of Cincinnati will be the first Hoosier to enter the portal this year.
(44:52 - 1:13:49) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Sports Network joins the show. Briefly Kevin and Rakestraw touch on Micah Shrewsberry signing on as Notre Dame's head coach. Notre Dame used to have a huge national presence in the basketball world, and it looks like the team is trying to recapture that stature in the collegiate basketball world. Flory Bidunga, originally from the Congo and playing for Kokomo High-School is one the most touted prospects in high-school basketball. While being heavily recruited, Rakestraw believes that Bidunga will still be playing in Kokomo next year and not transfer to a higher ranked high school. The conversation turns more to the specific matchups between NorthWood and Guerin Catholic in 3A basketball, and Ben Davis versus Kokomo in 4A. Ben Davis is looking to accomplish and undefeated championship season.
(1:13:50 - 1:24:44) - More talk on NCAA matchups. Will Princeton be able to continue the Cinderella story? Kevin and Query equate the game to St. Peters upset over Purdue last year. Andrew Nembhard's brother, Ryan, is still playing in the tournament on Creighton.
(1:24:45 - 1:33:02) - Pro-days continue in the NFL and the Colts need to narrow down who they intend to take with the 4th pick in the NFL Draft. A quarterback is still the leading candidate for that pick, and C.J. Stroud, Will Levis, and Bryce Young all were on display yesterday.
(1:33:03 - 1:57:58) - Another reminder to join Jake at Broad Ripple Tavern tonight for Pop-A-Shot. The Pacers and Celtics tip off tonight at 7. The blue and gold are in a unique NBA gray area where they could make the playoffs through the play-in, but that would weaken the team's chances at getting a high draft pick. Jalen Hood-Schifino of IU and Zach Edey of Purdue are being thrown around as picks. Cleveland will definitely make the playoffs meaning the Pacers will get their 1st round draft pick in 2024. With Boston's 1st rounder as well, that gives Indiana three total 1st round picks in the upcoming draft. What kind of luck will the Pacers have in the lottery drawing this year? The team certainly has the ability to trade up with the amount of draft stock they already have.
(1:57:59 - 2:06:36) - Pop Quiz
(2:06:37 - 2:17:40) - The Guerin Catholic head-coach Bobby Allen closes out the program talking about the team's appearance in the IHSAA State Championship tomorrow at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Allen has played and won a state championship as a student, this would be his first championship as a coach. Guerin Catholic had a rough season to start at one point sitting with a 12-8 record. Allen was wondering if the team would even finish the season with a winning record. Allen says the team was able to just buckle down and stay the course. Their rebound on the season and trip to the state finals has coach Allen believing that his team will be able to control the pace on the floor tomorrow and bring home a state championship.
