And we are back, folks, here on The Michigan Insider on the Big 1050WTCA, online at the big 1050.com.

To start off this big week in Michigan, men's and women's basketball, we're going to be talking to Kim Barnes & Rico coming up for Tuesdays of KVA in the next segment.

But, you know, it was it was great catching up with Dusty. And he gave a shot. I gave a nod to the

women's team. He's like, great team, great coaches. And he said, man, I pick Kim's brain. I pick

her brain. Just a great coach to be able to get ideas from and, you know, bounce some of the

things that I'm thinking about off of so I learn a lot from

from her just it's just great to be in the same building and I said dusty I'm sure she feels the

same way I'm sure she does too we I mean Sam we you know we were we were not like projecting

something all that outrageous when all summer all fall all we kept saying

how electric the Chrysler Center was going to be all winter for both teams it wasn't about one

team or the other it was about both teams and we have not been i have not been shy in my comparisons

between the two because there's there are some interesting comparisons between them

I mean they're relentless and they and they're both really really fun to watch and I'm sure

they pick their brains of each other because there's different things that that correlate

and it's nothing to do necessarily with basketball just you know life in the big 10 life at

mission all kinds of things and I got I can imagine those, you walk into that building right now, there's got to

be like a little extra pep in your step.

Like, everybody walking in there has got to be like, you know, they're coming off

of the weekend, coming off of the run, like whatever you, however far back you want to

kind of look at the window, you know, have time for either of these teams.

Like, you're coming to work every day.

You've got to be feeling pretty good.
