Tom IzzoGUEST
You know, the big games everybody knows about, Duke, Tennessee, Arkansas, Gonzaga, those are the big games.
Tom IzzoGUEST
But we have some strange games against teams like Northern Iowa, Toledo, Oakland, Penn, Detroit, Brake.
Tom IzzoGUEST
All those teams were either in the tournament or one game from the tournament.
Tom IzzoGUEST
So our typical non-conference games, I mean, Drake has been a perennial, very good team, and so has Northern Iowa.
Tom IzzoGUEST
Oakland, I mean, is always tough, and Toledo has been one of the teams that's usually picked to win that league.
Tom IzzoGUEST
Start conference play with Minnesota and Maryland in there.
Alex JensenGUEST
Um, you know, a lot of, uh, you know, I hate to use the word leadership.
Alex JensenGUEST
We have a lot of guys, um, you know, from Trey Campbell, our fifth year kid from Northern Iowa, Alec Anabata from, from Germany, um, You know, they play real roles, but like we're going to have to lean on them like more.
Alex JensenGUEST
And that doesn't necessarily mean scoring, but just kind of, you know, it's funny how if you have one guy that blocks out or runs far, then two, then three, and then before you know it, hopefully, you know, nobody wants to be the guy not doing it, if that makes sense.
Alex JensenGUEST
So that's more of a leadership.
Chris WilliamsHOST
Is Buchanan? He is.
Chris WilliamsHOST
They held Buchanan out against Northern Iowa.
Chris WilliamsHOST
Oh, okay.
Chris WilliamsHOST
And it wasn't like a bad thing.
Greg PetersonHOST
And when it comes to these guys, don't have so much promise for Utah.
Greg PetersonHOST
They bringing, Trey Campbell was a nice player over at Northern Iowa.
Greg PetersonHOST
Jackson Holcomb, he was solid over at Utah Valley, but this just doesn't feel like a team that has the depth and necessarily the horses to compete here in the Big 12.
Greg PetersonHOST
Was a rough year for Alex Jensen year, in year number one, and don't think that gets a lot h- better here in year number two.
20 MINS LATER
Greg PetersonHOST
For Utah, I'm just not necessarily bullish on year number two of this coaching staff, for one.
Greg PetersonHOST
Two, you lose your top scorer in Brown from a season ago, as Terance Brown was giving you 19-plus points per game.
Greg PetersonHOST
Now you're looking at Trey Campbell, who was nice over at Northern Iowa.
Greg PetersonHOST
He was a guy that averaged about 14 points, 3.8 boards, 3.8 assists per game, but, I mean, now he needs to lead the offense.
Brandon DrummHOST
This whole world is becoming everybody gets a trophy all the way up to college football it feels like.
Brandon DrummHOST
Like, what are we doing? What are we doing? I, I, look, I understand in college with the 68 teams and it makes for good Cinderella stories and all that type of stuff, but even that has started to dwindle a little bit with NIL because the players that normally developed at, like, a Northern Iowa or a Valparaiso or...
Brandon DrummHOST
Now I'm throwing out, you know, George Mason.
Travis DavidsonHOST
Like Davidson.

Tom IzzoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Oakland, I mean, is always tough, and Toledo has been one of the teams that's usually picked to win that league.
Tom IzzoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[smacks lips] Start conference play with, with Minnesota and Maryland in there, and so you look at the non-conference schedule is you got those four big games that everybody'll look at as big games.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
Uh, with the Valley though, I'm seeing a real change in the power structure at the top.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
You know, Northern Iowa in the tournament last year, Drake had made those runs under Dairon DeBries and Ben McCollum.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
Now you've got... that has moved east.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
Murray State has loaded up, big NIL package.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
I tell you what, Spencer.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
It's a very young team.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
Not as physical as we've seen teams in the past with Northern Iowa.
Kevin LehmanGUEST
I'm a little concerned.
Sean KellermanHOST
I prefer that certainly to some of the 8 p.m. starts.
Sean KellermanHOST
Northern Iowa, Tuesday, December 1st, is it 7 p.m.? Sunday, December 6th, the border war at T-Mobile, the last border war for how...
Sean KellermanHOST

Daniel CourtwrightHOST
And, you know, we've already broken down this roster six ways to Sunday.
SteveHOST

Johnny KinzigerGUEST
yeah are you are you saying this pat is this past year 2020
JohnHOST
february 2026 and bond tied it up at 69. yes
Johnny KinzigerGUEST
But that one pretty much just goes to our execution and kind of learning from last year on, you know, what we could have done better.
Johnny KinzigerGUEST
And Coach, you know, had trust in us and had trust in me to hit the shot on that play.
SteveHOST
And while I always like beating Northern Iowa, and I do, my favorite one's got to be the Wake Forest game.
SteveHOST
Just given the NIT stakes and, you know, playing a P4 team.
John GaskinsHOST
thought I was going to have story time at the start of our conversation, but then we started talking about shoes and it led us to another place.
John GaskinsHOST
But what's a great McDermott story? Guy who just stepped down from Creighton and obviously Wayne State, Northern Iowa, Iowa State.
