00:07Carson Anderson 97-1
00:09open lines 248-539-9797
00:14glad to be with you here
00:15on a Thursday in Detroit
00:18heard there during the update
00:19college basketball tonight
00:20Michigan at Iowa Michigan State
00:22hosting Rutgers
00:24and last night Big Ten action
00:27Purdue looks broken
00:28somebody broke Purdue
00:31they slipped past Northwestern
00:33to end their four game losing streak
00:35big win for Indiana
00:36actually no it wasn't a big win for Indiana
00:38it was a big not loss for Indiana
00:42and Purdue had lost three of four
00:44now four in a row
00:44but anyway
00:47Indiana avoided
00:48I mean they pounded Minnesota
00:50but losing to Minnesota
00:51that would have been a bubble burst
00:53kind of game for them
00:57I'm intrigued to get your take on this
01:01and it's an interesting debate
01:04the Miami Red Hawks
01:06are undefeated
01:0730-0
01:11but
01:12if they don't win the
01:13Mid-American Conference tournament
01:16there is a strong contingent out there
01:19that say they will not make
01:21March Madness
01:23they're 30-0
01:25with no
01:27quad one
01:28games played
01:32out of 365 teams
01:36in Division I college basketball
01:38their strength of schedule ranks
01:42314th
01:43yeah I'm looking at their schedule
01:45and of course they have a max schedule
01:47but their
01:47non-conference schedule
01:49what website are you looking at them on
01:51before I ask
01:52before you say
01:53ESPN
01:54do they have teams that there are no links
01:57like you can't click on them
01:58because you
01:59they don't have a page on ESPN
02:00several
02:02several
02:02like Trinity Christian out of Illinois
02:05or Indiana University East
02:09or Milligan
02:14right
02:15they don't even have a link on ESPN
02:17Milligan
02:18it sounds like they
02:19I mean that might just be a bunch of dudes
02:21that they had show up at the arena
02:23and called themselves Milligan
02:24Milligan scored 81 points against them
02:26did they?
02:27yeah
02:27Milligan gave up 135
02:28okay
02:29do you recognize
02:30is there any
02:32power teams on their conference
02:34what's their biggest win?
02:36I mean
02:36they start the season
02:37Old Dominion
02:37you know
02:38Old Dominion's
02:39more known for the
02:40women's program from a million years ago
02:42Air Force
02:45Arkansas Pine Bluff
02:46you know that's a team that you see
02:47in the
02:48wins a crap conference
02:49they get into the tournament
02:50well I mean
02:51this is what they're playing
02:52they're playing
02:53crap conference teams
02:56UNC Greensboro
02:57is another one of those
02:59Maine
03:00Maine's a hockey school
03:01Black Bears
03:03parents met there
03:04and then you get to
03:05the scheduling of Wright State
03:07and Ball State
03:07you know
03:09Milligan
03:09I mean
03:10they've played
03:11a dreadful schedule
03:12and their NET ranking
03:14which is one of the major metrics
03:16used by
03:16the committee
03:17has them 53rd
03:19behind all four teams
03:21that Lenardi has
03:22in his last four out
03:23so
03:24his first four out
03:25so I think it's
03:26Auburn
03:27Virginia
03:27Tech
03:28Virginia
03:29Commonwealth
03:30and San Diego State
03:31are in the first four out
03:32Miami ranks behind them
03:34if they don't win the MAAC
03:35they're undefeated 30-0
03:37and they're in danger
03:38of not making it
03:39but herein lies
03:41the conundrum
03:44somebody
03:45FOIA'd
03:45Miami's basketball program
03:47Freedom of Information Act
03:49there you go
03:49Miami's basketball program
03:50to see if they tried
03:52to schedule anyone
03:53and got all their emails
03:56to power schools
03:57about scheduling
03:58and they did
04:00they tried to schedule
04:02Marquette
04:03they tried to schedule Pitt
04:04they tried to schedule Wisconsin
04:06they sent emails
04:08that went unreturned
04:10when it was time
04:11to put the schedule together
04:12they sent them
04:12to the right people
04:13well maybe not
04:14sent to the swimming coach
04:18perhaps
04:19or
04:19or they
04:20they needed to try harder
04:21I don't know
04:22you know
04:23they did
04:23if you try to schedule
04:25big boys
04:25and all of them say no
04:27so all you can do
04:28is add Milligan
04:29to your schedule
04:30and you go out
04:31and you go 30-0
04:32even if your resume
04:33doesn't stack up
04:34what do you do
04:34with that team
04:37I mean
04:39it is a conundrum
04:42look I don't
04:42I don't like the guy
04:43the guy who coaches
04:44that team
04:44who knocked over
04:46the speaker
04:47was it against Western
04:49was it against Western
04:50who was it recently
04:51where he was walking
04:52it got ejected
04:52and he was
04:53walking out of the arena
04:54and knocked over
04:56the speaker
04:56broke a DJ's
04:59piece of equipment
05:00yeah
05:00so and he got fined for it
05:02didn't get suspended for it
05:03he got fined for it
05:03like $5,000 fine
05:05and he had to pay restitution
05:08I don't know
05:09man
05:09they're undefeated
05:10so
05:11that's not a metric
05:12I know it's not a metric
05:14but they're in a conference
05:15and they're undefeated
05:16and they're in the MAC
05:17okay
05:18so
05:20they
05:21I think they deserve
05:22to be in the tournament
05:23but
05:24I wouldn't
05:25I wouldn't imagine
05:26it's anything better
05:27than like a 14 seed
05:29yeah
05:29I see
05:29but then
05:30they
05:30they would
05:32they'd be taking away
05:34a spot from a more
05:35deserving team
05:35resume wise
05:36well
05:37I don't
05:38I mean
05:38you have to tell me
05:39which team
05:40and look at that team's
05:40resume
05:41and I don't know
05:42again this is
05:43you play the games
05:44that are on your schedule
05:45but when you schedule
05:45teams like Milligan
05:47Indiana University
05:48East
05:48and Trinity Christian
05:49it's not going to
05:50help you out
05:51but
05:51those are three schools
05:53that did they have to
05:53scramble to get that
05:54because
05:55yeah
05:55because Pitt
05:56and Marquette
05:57and Wisconsin
05:58said no
05:59here's one to
06:01Brian Reagan
06:01at Pitt
06:03hey this is
06:03Jonathan Holmes
06:04at Miami of Ohio

06:05about needing
06:06a guaranteed game

06:08I have that date
06:08open
06:08would love to play
06:09I've been looking
06:10for a regional
06:10buy game
06:11the last couple
06:11months
06:11please let me know
06:14Pitt never got back
06:15to him
06:15they ended up
06:16playing Hofstra
06:17I'm sorry
06:17Pitt played Hofstra
06:18at Miami
06:19ended up playing
06:19Maine
06:20on December 6th
06:21yep
06:21yep
06:23they email
06:23Wisconsin
06:24this is
06:24Jonathan Holmes
06:24hope you're doing
06:25well
06:25I wanted to reach
06:26out to see
06:26if you guys
06:26are looking
06:27to buy games
06:27I have several
06:28dates in
06:28November
06:28and December
06:29please let me
06:29know if you
06:30have any
06:30interest
06:31no
06:33response
06:33from Wisconsin
06:34does it have
06:34a date
06:35on when
06:35they reached
06:35out
06:37May 28th
06:38of last year
06:39I mean
06:39you're talking
06:40I mean
06:40look
06:41it's an
06:42interesting
06:42conundrum
06:43if they
06:43really did
06:43authentically
06:44try
06:45and
06:46I feel like
06:46it's unfair
06:47to them
06:47because if
06:48they
06:48authentically
06:48tried
06:49and then
06:49nobody
06:49took them
06:51up
06:51but it's
06:52also
06:52then so
06:53we're going
06:53to punish
06:53the kids
06:54at Auburn
06:54and give
06:55Miami
06:56their spot
06:56even though
06:57their resume
06:57is better
06:58and that's
06:59that's a
06:59problem
07:00you should
07:00have
07:00there should
07:01be some
07:03reason that
07:04you know
07:05if Miami
07:05reaches out
07:06to you
07:06and everybody
07:07says no
07:08they probably
07:08should have
07:09made a stink
07:09about it
07:10before the
07:10season
07:10or any
07:11team
07:11that's in
07:11that position
07:12or just
07:12keep winning
07:13I guess
07:14right
07:14this is what's
07:15dumb though
07:16to have the
07:16conference
07:17tournament
07:17it's so
07:17dumb
07:17this is why
07:18I say
07:19this is the
07:19like when I
07:20talk about
07:20Michigan State
07:21and Michigan
07:21I say okay
07:22they've got the
07:23big final game
07:24on Sunday
07:24and then the
07:25dumb tournament
07:26and then the
07:26big tournament
07:27it's a dumb
07:28tournament to
07:29have a conference
07:30tournament
07:31clearly for
07:32teams that are
07:33above and beyond
07:34like they should
07:35be in
07:35they're undefeated
07:36they've beaten
07:37everybody in their
07:37conference
07:38and now
07:39for Miami
07:41if they were
07:41to lose
07:42they get tripped
07:42up by Buffalo
07:43or Marshall
07:44or whatever
07:45or Western
07:45Michigan
07:46and Western
07:46Michigan
07:47damn near
07:47beat them
07:47the other
07:48night
07:48if they get
07:49tripped up
07:49there then
07:50they're out
07:50they're all
07:51the dreams
07:51are done
07:51despite the
07:52fact that
07:52they won
07:52every single
07:53game on
07:54their on
07:54their schedule
07:55leading up
07:55to the
07:56dumb
07:56tournament
07:56well I
07:58believe
07:58conferences
07:59can make
07:59the rule
08:00that our
08:01regular season
08:01champ gets
08:02the automatic
08:02bid but then
08:04there's zero
08:05purpose for the
08:05conference
08:06tournament like
08:06none
08:06well then
08:07that's a
08:08risk
08:08if Miami
08:09doesn't win
08:10because I
08:10mean is there
08:11anybody else
08:13in that
08:13conference
08:14that is
08:15one big
08:15lead
08:16so
08:19it's
08:19really
08:20interesting
08:20but
08:22if Miami
08:23loses
08:23it's going to
08:24lead to
08:24raging debate
08:25but
08:25it's not
08:26like the
08:27committee
08:27can say
08:27well they
08:28only have
08:28one loss
08:29because that's
08:29what it would
08:30take
08:30so we're
08:31giving them
08:31the one
08:32loss
08:32provision
08:32there's
08:33no provision
08:33for that
08:33you just
08:34have to
08:34have the
08:34resume
08:35and right
08:35now
08:35at this
08:36time
08:36they don't
08:37so
08:39everybody's
08:40going to be
08:40paying attention
08:40to that
08:42that cares
08:42about college
