00:00Double header at MSG, there's one that took place last night.
00:03There's one that's going to be in a couple of weeks.
00:06But the nightcap was a 78-66 win over the Duke Blue Devils over Kansas.
00:13When you look at Duke, you've got to look at Cam Boozer.
00:1718 points.
00:18The bruiser, I may call him.
00:2018 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists.
00:23I know he shot the ball, 1 of 4 from 3.
00:26You know, but he's showing his ability to really be a different player than his dad.
00:32A little bit more dynamic, a little bit more athletic than of the Cam is than of Carlos.
00:39But you kind of look at it as well.
00:42Evans, you know, someone that's been around for a little bit.
00:4416 points.
00:45Low scoring game, partially because of your Kansas.
00:48You've got to slow the game down.
00:50So who played well for Kansas?
00:51That's Trey White.
00:52Trey White, really 7 of 13 for the floor.
00:5422 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals.
00:59So you look at Trey White as someone that is of experience.
01:03This is a guy, ready folks?
01:054 years for schools, right?
01:09USC, Louisville, Illinois, and obviously now with Kansas.
01:13He's going to have to take a lot of the scoring acumen for Kansas.
01:17A Kansas team, folks, but let's be honest.
01:19The next week when we do this show, Kansas, a perennial blue blood, may not be ranked in the top 25.
01:28Let's get to the other game in the Classic.
01:31And that was the opening game.
01:32And what a resounding win by Tom Izzo and Michigan State.
01:3683-66 over Kentucky.
01:41When we previewed this team, and you talk about Cone, and you obviously talk about Cam Ward, the freshman's been really good.
01:51I sat here before the season, and I said the key to them is Jackson Kohler.
01:58If Jackson Kohler could be that double-double threat and provide inside presence, that is going to give Tom Izzo what he needs with the perimeter play.
02:11Well, Jackson Kohler was the best player on the floor.
02:1420 points, 8 of 12 from the floor, 2 from 3, 5 rebounds, 2 assists.
02:20Playing better than Eltega away, a guy that we can consider to be a lottery pick.
02:25We don't have them only 12 points, 4 rebounds, 4 of 12 from the floor.
02:31For a long time, I've sat there, and I've said there's no better in-game coach than Tom Izzo.
02:37I don't think there's no better tactician than Tom Izzo.
02:39And usually with Tom Izzo, we talk about his teams playing well in March, and he loads up his schedule to win in March.
02:52But what do you do when Tom Izzo wins in November?
02:58And that's what they're doing.
03:00They're setting themselves up to be the top dog, a policy with Illinois against Purdue in the Big Ten.
03:07A Big Ten, and we've talked about being down.
03:10But with Illinois, Michigan State playing great basketball, and obviously Purdue being arguably the best team in the country,
03:16you could say three of the top 10, 12 teams in the country could be coming out of the Big Ten.
03:23And we haven't even talked about what Indiana's done so far to start this year, right?
03:28New coach, and obviously what Iowa is doing.
03:33Watch out for the Big Ten.
03:36Basketball is back in the heartland.
