Cade Tyson

yeah there's people there's a little bit of minnesota basketball buzz um people like nico They like Nico, and then there's still a possibility they get the guy back.

Is it Cade Tyson? Oh, they got an eligibility guy? Yeah, they got an eligibility argument for one of their better players for last year.

And so I think they're waiting to see on that.

Okay.

Like after you preview it for five months in various ways or four months in various ways, you're excited to see, you know, if all the things you're kind of predicting to happen, you're excited to see if they come true.

Like last year when I thought Bobby Durkin would be the leading scorer and Cade Tyson would be maybe a starter.

Next thing you know, Cade's out here crushing it.

So it's those type of things you look forward to seeing.

You know, you get back into the Bobby Durkin thing.

We can talk about that.

I will go for my bold prediction that Cade Tyson plays more than 20 games with the Gophers this season.

Maybe I should, I'm going to put an asterisk knowing Minnesota luck.

I could even see Minnesota getting up to like 11th or 10th, but got to see it first.

Do like Cade Tyson, though.

Yeah, yeah.

Is he eligible? He's the 5-5 too, right? Yeah,

I like it.

Minnesota, I think, has a chance to be an at-large team, especially if Cade Tyson is able to get eligible.

Cade Tyson averaged over 20 a game last year at Minnesota.

Minnesota brought back Kyan Evans to the Nico Medved system.

Jalen Crocker-Johnson is awesome.

And if you're able to get Cade Tyson eligible, you could be looking at an at-large team.

Got Ole Miss right behind them.

Ole Miss, one of the few SEC teams I don't have making the tournament, but I still trust Chris Beard.

We're here to recap that talk about it all.

And, uh, Get into some interesting comments that Nico Medved made in the postgame press conference as he got pretty fiery talking about Cade Tyson's eligibility and the general landscape of lawsuits.

Some players are getting fifth year eligible.

Others aren't.

He really has elevated his game.

We'll see.

Maybe Cade Tyson's eligibility might have something to say about that.

But I want to start this breakdown with what I thought was the best thing we saw from the Defense, defense, defense.

Yep, absolutely.

Minnesota is one of those teams that I really think is gonna be huge, especially if they get Cade Tyson back in the fold.

I think that that is gonna be big for them.

That's a little bit TBD, so that's one team that I really do gravitate towards, and they've been one of those teams that the more that I look at them, the more that I like them.

So the ability to withstand some of that if it does come their way.

The bigger question, though, is Cade Tyson.

Leading scorer last year, kind of back now in the fold awaiting an eligibility clearance.

You know, kind of getting, trying to get that extra year in that battle like a lot of these other guys are when that five for five rule came in, and he's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, why is everybody exempted, uh, except for this year?" They're trying to get that extra year for him, but he's kind of tied up right now, not playing, waiting for the kind of courts to rule on all that.

That would be a huge thing.

Like, a huge swing.

If Cade Tyson gets to play for the Gophers this season, that's a tournament team.

They might be a tournament team anyway, but if he gets to play for them, that is a tournament team.
