00:00 the Huskies. You can and
00:09 everybody else around the
00:11 country in college hoops. 81
00:14 53 the victory for the Huskies
00:16 on Saturday afternoon in
00:18 Hartford in a top four tilt
00:20 against fourth ranked Marquette
00:22 who entered winning eight
00:23 straight games. You can't
00:25 entered winning 13 straight
00:27 games. Make that 14 in a row
00:29 in nine of the 14 games on
00:31 this win streak as well. And
00:33 now the question Donnie for
00:34 Yukon is not how good can they
00:36 be this year? It's are they
00:38 better this year than they were
00:39 even last year when they won a
00:41 national championship. That's
00:43 the fun thing to talk about.
00:44 Like we just got done talking
00:45 about the NBA in the Western
00:46 Conference. Hey, can Minnesota
00:48 go do the deal here? Can OKC
00:50 surprise maybe get the top seed
00:52 and make a run to the NBA
00:53 finals, but we don't have any
00:54 backtracking for that band,
00:55 right? It's like, hey, well,
00:56 yeah, we just saw it last year.
00:57 You know, we haven't college
00:58 basketball. Yeah, we saw you
00:59 con rip through the NCAA
01:01 tournament and cut down the
01:02 nets last year and seemingly
01:04 willing to do it again this
01:05 year sitting at 24 and two.
01:07 Now getting back to Friday
01:08 show. We're anticipating this
01:09 monster matchup on a Saturday
01:11 and we're going back and forth
01:12 like who has the actual edge in
01:13 this game and I thought you
01:14 kind of really did. And so I
01:16 thought of course they do the
01:17 high ranked team there at home.
01:18 They should have the edge
01:19 favored by six or seven points,
01:20 but that doesn't mean you
01:21 always win the basketball game
01:22 or it's an easy matchup. The
01:23 one thing that we do know is
01:24 Marquette loves to shoot the
01:25 three-point shot. One thing that
01:27 we also do know is Yukon
01:28 defends the three-point shot
01:29 and loves to chase you off of
01:31 that line. So when you just
01:32 look at the box score to end
01:33 that basketball game without the
01:35 final score 5 of 23 from the
01:37 three-point line. We also knew
01:39 that Yukon is very aggressive
01:40 and they will fail you but the
01:42 fact of the matter is you take
01:43 a look at Marquette. They love
01:45 to shoot the three-point shot
01:46 which means they're not going
01:47 into the paint getting the end
01:48 ones and getting to the
01:49 free-throw line. Let me free
01:50 throw shots. They went six of
01:52 eight from the free-throw line.
01:53 So if you're not going to have
01:54 a great matchup with a
01:55 three-point line or take
01:56 advantage of the foul line, how
01:58 could you possibly win these
01:59 basketball games just by
02:00 completely outplaying your
02:01 opponent? That's not going to
02:02 happen on a lot of occasions
02:03 when you're playing a team as
02:04 talented as Yukon who has the
02:06 inside outside game back and
02:07 also keep in mind some of the
02:09 Yukon games that we were
02:10 watching early in the season
02:11 when Klingon had that injury to
02:13 his foot like when's he going
02:14 to come back? Is he going to be
02:15 the same? It takes you a couple
02:16 of games to get underway. He
02:17 was fantastic there on Saturday.
02:19 So this team now has the inside
02:21 game, the outside game, the
02:22 defending game and also goes
02:24 yeah, we want a championship
02:25 last year with a coach that can
02:27 certainly put you over the top.
02:28 Yukon has everything going from
02:30 them right now and playing Ben
02:32 their best basketball of the
02:33 season coming at the right time.
