00:00How about Illinois, Indiana this weekend?
00:02Who do you like in that one?
00:04You know, I like Illinois.
00:06It's, you know, been a little bit rough for them the last few games.
00:09They have had some, you know, bad turnouts.
00:11But I'm just not sold on Indiana.
00:12Indiana's soft on the inside.
00:14Illinois has fantastic size.
00:16You know, I love what Wagler's been doing there.
00:19I think, you know, him stepping into that point guard role has really showed what he's capable of.
00:23I think Illinois is simply the better team on both sides of the ball.
00:25So, yeah, I think Illinois will crush this one.
00:29You know, I never thought I'd be saying this.
00:31Wait a minute.
00:31Indiana football is better than Indiana basketball.
00:35I mean, the world has changed.
00:37It's upside down.
00:38Give me three guys that you think are doing the best job in coaching this year.
00:45That's a tough one.
00:46I think a lot of guys have kind of impressed me.
00:49I'm going to say Cher.
00:50The thing with John Shire is he just keeps getting these young freshmen in,
00:55and he keeps integrating them so well.
00:56And that's really something that's impressed me a lot.
00:59I also think, you know, that we, you know, that coaching job that Bill Self did,
01:05you know, going into that game against Arizona,
01:07finding out he doesn't have Darren Peterson, you know, 20 minutes before tip-off,
01:11and the adjustments he made were phenomenal as well.
01:14So I got to give him some credit there.
01:16And I also think Mark Few is doing a great job in Gonzaga.
01:19That's another team that perennially has been, you know, at the top of the country.
01:22And even when they have a lot of new faces in that lineup,
01:24they tend to work with them well.
01:26You see him making these adjustments with Braden Huff injured.
01:29And, you know, he's always making those adjustments to make his team,
01:32put his team in the best spot to win.
