Brian Newbert joins us now, excuse me, Java House, Peel and Port Guestline, Purdue last night,

short end against UCLA.

Brian, I'm going to ask, before we get to the

real topic of discussion, which is you and I have the same interest when driving around Los Angeles,

but let's talk basketball first. Mick Cronin last night, and we'll play this coming up, was very open

about his displeasure for the travel for UCLA.

They kind of had to know what they were signing up for.

How much of last night's clothes for UCLA against Purdue,

if you were going to chalk it up to anything,

was fatigue or travel anyway a factor for Purdue and not being able to close last night?

No, I don't think so.

Purdue plays a lot of guys. I think that they're built to close from a basketball perspective. I think you have to give UCLA a lot of credit for closing out the way they were. They had reason to be desperate, and I think they kind of played like it, and, you know, Purdue turned the ball over at the wrong time. And that's sort of the common denominator when Purdue loses games the last five years or so.
