This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by prize picks coming at you Thursday morning.

It's January 11th after the Wolves' overtime loss in Boston on Wednesday night.

I've got Kyle Tygey with me here today.

We're obviously going to be diving into that game for the vast majority of this episode today.

But Kyle, I just talk for like a minute to start this off.

Just about life or you needed, yeah.

No, about travel or just about, I just feel like the, we need to set like the pretext of what this, what this game was.
