Gee, be back tomorrow after his weekend away, his big golf weekend tie up a couple of loose ends before I move into something Nick related. And you asked me about Northern Iowa real quick since they're playing St. John's. Before I forget, Missouri Valley Conference team, I will tell you, when you look at the standings, you know, they're right there in the middle. They won 23 games, but 11 and 9 in the conference. They also had a stretch. I don't have the dates, but they had a stretch where they lost one, two, three, four, five games in a row and six of seven within the conference. So I guess could a team like this get hot? Absolutely. Can a team like this hit a bunch of threes and beat them for sure? i expect st john's to bludgeon them yes i do so

it means nothing. They won the game. They came back from 21 down. It's a win. You move on. This team just needs to get to the postseason. And I think, you know, it'll be great if they could be the two-seat in the East. Right now, I believe they are one game behind the Celtics, but I think it's two in the lost column if I have that right.

1:45.8

Really, that's all they're playing for right now is maybe just believe they are one game behind the Celtics, but I think it's two in the lost column, if I have that right?

1:45.8

Really, that's all they're playing for right now is maybe just seating, get a little bit closer

to that two spot, maybe overtake Boston for that, so you have home court advantage.

1:53.8

Should you play them?

1:55.1

But beyond that, I mean, Jalen Brunson does what he does, and they beat a bad Warriors team

1:59.7

last night, So beat.

2:01.0

So beat these next four bad teams as well.

2:04.3

I totally agree.

2:04.9

And maybe, just maybe you can catch Detroit.

2:07.5

Who knows?
