Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is ESPN fifteen thirty one Egger. Xavier's on the
road tonight against Freight in Momaha, tip off at eight
pm on seven hundred WLW. NKU is getting set to
Battle of Detroit Mercy tomorrow night. That game again is tomorrow.
Rick Boring talks Xavier and NKU hoops with us when
he's not contributing columns that are mandated by me to
(00:25):
his Facebook page. He is with us now Musketeer Report
dot Com and NKU Radio. Hi, Reck, what's up maw?
I'm just sitting here doing the talk show. What's up
with yourself?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Are you doing it from home today?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I am doing my show for my house today.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, what's what's going on here? Like you's sick? You
go okay.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I have a commitment tonight that requires me to be
I live on the west side of Cincinnati, and I've
got to be somewhere on the west side to Cincinnati
as soon as I get off the air, and the
commute from Kenwood to the West Side, which at times
traffic can get in the way. It was easier for
(01:08):
me to do the show for my house, for my
basement and then get to where I need. I have
to get to the Lasal Sports Tag. I have to
m s this. I have to host a Q and
A tonight at the Lasal Sports Tag. And it's easier
for me to get to Lasal for my house than
it is to get to Lasal from Kenwood. So that's
why I'm doing the show from home today.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Nice, Sorry I asked, first of all. Second, I'm glad
you're doing Okay, that's all I was worried about.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Oh no, all's good. If I'm doing the show from home,
typically there's a sick kid involved, and fortunately as of
right now, no, if I'm at my house, if I'm
doing I do not like doing the show for my house.
But if I'm doing the show for my house, typically
a sick child is upstairs or sometimes laying on the
couch right in front of where I'm sitting right now.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, I'm glad to hear everyone is healthy in the
Agger household at the moment.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
As of the moment we will see. Is Xavier good?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, we have to start giving some credence to
that fact, right, Like the winever Marquette was one thing
at Marquette, but you follow it up with and again
they obviously blew the lead at Saint John's, but they
did have a sixteen point lead in the second half
at Saint John's, who's, in my opinion, the worst matchup
in the conference for them, and then they held on
and beat Yukon at home on Saturday. So they're definitely
(02:31):
playing better basketball than they were three weeks ago. I
think the defense is much improved since that point. But yeah,
I think part of it is the league. They match
up better within the league than maybe we thought they
would when they lost to you know, those five out
of six games through that stretch in mid December and
early January. But part of it also as they're playing
(02:52):
much better.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I thought late in the late in the first half,
you know, Xavier played from ahead, Yukon jump up three points,
four points, and I kind of kept waiting for the
other shoe to drop and it didn't. And I think
two months ago the other shoe does drop. Maybe a
month ago the other shoe does drop and it didn't.
Can they bottle what Jerome Hunter gave him on Saturday
(03:16):
and apply that to a game like tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That's a good question. I mean, when you look at
what Jerome Hunter accomplished in that game only playing thirteen minutes.
That's the thing. I think we've been used to Jerome
playing more so when you look at it and see
that he has twelve points and five boards, it's like, Okay,
pretty good stat line. But when you realize he did
that twelve and five in just thirteen minutes, and you
see some of the big plays he made in the
second half of that game, it definitely led lends some
(03:42):
credence the idea that maybe Jerome Hunter is starting to
get more right physically again, and maybe there's some upside
there for Xavier. When you're looking at the bench and
the lack of firepower that they've dealt with all season.
If Jerome Hunter could start returning to the form we
saw right before he had the last year or two
years of catastrophic injury history that he just had, man
(04:06):
that would be a huge boost for Savior in this
late season stretch.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So they've they've split with Marquette, they've split with Saint John's,
they've split with Yukon. They haven't played Creighton yet. They
obviously play them on the road tonight and then in
a couple of weeks at Centas Center. I'm not making
about split.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Both to Saint John's.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm sorry they did. Yeah, it felt like they won
that game because they had a sixteen point Ly, can
they split with Creighton?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I don't know that that's going to to tell us
a lot about what happens the rest of the way,
because as good as AVI is playing right now, winning
for if their last five, they still have to win
a lot of games and there's not a lot of
margin for air down the stretch if they want to
put themselves in position for an large fit. So they're
going to remain if they continue to win, they're going
(04:59):
to remain on the cut line for basically the rest
of the season. We're going to be living and dying
pretty much with every game, and so finding a way
to split with Crayton would be absolutely huge for this team.
They almost have to do that, in fact, and if
they can somehow find a way to win the one
tonight in Omaha, that would go a long way, because
we know how important those Quad one wins on the
(05:20):
road are when it comes to bid selection time.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, but you know, we talked about like the Gauntlet
of the Big East, and I know they lost to
Georgetown on the road. They're kind of coming out of it,
and like you can't afford slip ups to teams like
Seaton Hall and De Paul, but boys beyond Creighton and
I know they have to go to Villanova and they
nearly lost that game. Here, Like the metrics aren't going
(05:44):
to help when you beat the metrics aren't going to
be helping to beat some of those teams. But like
they do have down the stretch, the soft landing of
the bottom half of the Big East schedule.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, I mean, I think when you look at the
fact that like they did match up well against Villanova,
obviously to Paul you feel good about you know, you
match up well with Seaton Hall. So it's going to
come down to the teams we haven't seen yet. How
do you match up against Creighton. I think that's going
to be a difficult one. Creyton has the big shot blocker,
fifty year player Ryan Kulkburner at the rim in the
back end of their defense. The rest of their defense
(06:16):
really gets extended on the perimeter, tries to take away
your ball movement, take away your three point shots, force
you to be drivers, play one on one and funnel
them into their shop blocker. That's the style of play
that Michigan played. It's a little bit different because Creyton
doesn't have the athletes as those teams do, but it's
a similar concept and that's the style of defense from
a health perspective that's given Xavier the most difficulty this year.
(06:39):
So the Creighton matchup would be the one I'm most
worried about, especially since they're also the most talented team
out of the teams that are left. But how they
match up with Providence and Butler are really going to
dictate a lot as well.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm not used to looking at the bottom half of
the Horizon League standings and seeing Northern Kentucky and yet
that's where they are after five consecutive loss is they're
obviously not going to win the Horizon League. Darren Horn
has talked often about what matters to us are the
games we play in the Horizon League tournament. Can they
get this thing going back in the right direction in
(07:15):
time for them to have the sort of chance we're
accustomed to them having in the Horizon League tournament.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, And I've been asked that question a few times
in terms of the timing of all of this, Like,
isn't it getting late for NKU and the reality is, well, no,
not really. I mean last year when they hit their
three game skit, and that's different from a five game
skit obviously, but when they hit their rough patch, when
we were all talking about, oh no, maybe this isn't
going to be one of those years for NKU where
they turn it on late in the year, it was
(07:44):
right about this time. It was their last two games
of January and their first game of February that they
lost consecutively, and then they turned it on and really
played well down the stretch into the postseason and they
ended up in the semi finals in Indianapolis. Again, they
can still do that in terms of enough time and
being counted enough to make that type of run in
the Horizon League, but at some point you have to
(08:06):
start showing it. And the problem for this group is
right now that the last few games they've played, you know,
especially the one against Milwaukee which they lost by twenty
points at home, they're not showing those signs that they're
starting to head in that direction. Yet.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We've talked about your growing Facebook page, which to me
is is a beacon of light on that particular social
media platform. Given everything that's happening in the United States.
Right now, I know if I go to my feed,
there's Rick writing about college basketball or the Bengals or something,
and it's terrific. Now, last week I gave you an
assignment and it was to write about, you know, coaches,
(08:43):
college basketball coaching attire, which has changed dramatically since COVID.
And then I looked at some of the comments. I
wasn't prepared for there to be so many people who
like to see the guys in suits.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah. Well, I mean, here's the thing, though, if you
clicked on any of the profiles, it was exactly who
you'd expect to be making those comments. And they're the
exact type of guys you and I do not want
to be hanging out with. So it made a lot
of sense when you saw, all.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Right, now, can I get another assignment for you?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I love it. That's what I'm here for.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Some have suggested that college basketball, and for that matter,
college football, should create the position of commissioner. So let's
create it and say, you're the commissioner of college basketball.
What changes or lack of changes do you make? I
want to read that on Facebook, and honestly, the sooner
(09:34):
the better, So it just it drowns out all the
other crap on that platform right now.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Wait, so in other words, like you know, the I
guess Mark Emmer at the NCAA isn't enough. We want
to we want to split off the sports from the
NCAA and have a new commissioner in charge of them.
That's what we're saying.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, I want you to be the commissioner, like, not
some slack no, Like somebody who knows the sport, cares
deeply about the sport, is a level headed and doesn't
mind taking the pay cut. Like I want you to
be the commissioner of college basketball soight, like like some
sort of like position essay on what the sport would
look like if you were allowed to implement the changes
(10:11):
on the floor and off that the commissioner, with uh
an unlimited amount of power would be able to implement.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, that's a that's a pretty unwieldy post. I could
have a lot of characters and words in it. I'll uh,
I'll get to it, but it may it may take
a little longer than last one did.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'll just warn you who's driving to Detroit. You guys
riding the bus, you have plenty of time in the.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Car right Yeah, Jim Kelch is in the front of
our taha. Right now I'm in the back. As I've
told you in the past that we like to do it.
So we're just cruising along. We're somewhere outside of Talita
right now.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, well, get out the laptop. I mean, you guys
have all the next couple of days to talk with
each other and get out the laptop and bang out
a post.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, that's what I'm working on right now. I've already
got it open. Facebook is ahead of me. Did you
know you can still poke people on Facebook? That's still
a thing. So I might send out some folks and
then I'll get to work.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I was on Facebook. I told you I purged like
forty dead people a couple of weeks ago. Tell me that, yeah, right.
And so what I've started to do is accept friend requests,
but like some of them are year, like five years old,
and so I've gotten messages from people who are like,
oh yeah, thanks, that's kind of fun. So that's what
(11:23):
I'm dealing with on Facebook at the moment.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I mean, what's the response after that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I was at my limit. I knew some people who died.
I unfriended them, and you're next. Like, I don't make
the limit five thousand people. I have a professional Facebook page.
You're welcome to follow.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's like the Green Bay Packers season ticket waiting list. Eventually,
one day you get that call and you're like, you're
accepted in finally.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah. So I've always kept the number like fifty shy
of five thousand. If there's like a coworker or like
a legitimate friend comes into my life, like I, you know,
I want to have room for them. But when I
sat down a few weeks ago and I got rid
of like and I'm not making fun of these folks,
but there was no reason for them to me, for
me to be friends with them anymore because they're dead,
(12:10):
Like they weren't going to be posting on their page.
And so when I purged roughly forty to fifty people
who over the course of I think I joined Facebook
in like two thousand and six. Over the last nearly
two decades, I've lost some people in my life. And
so as I sat down and got rid of them,
I decided to backfill and I started with people at
the you know, the had been in the wait, had
(12:30):
been in line, the longest, and some of them were
I guess not that happy that I accept the request.
So so there we are. Well enjoy the trip to Detroit.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I will. Can I ask you one more question? Did
you leave any deads on your friends group?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes, yes, I left. I left two because I was really, really,
really close to them. But I'll tell you this, and
I don't think. I don't think his, I don't think
his his wife will. I still remain friends with the
late Jim Scott, right radio legend and somebody that I
worked with, and his just awesome wife who lost her
(13:12):
husband back in last year last summer, Will still post
on Facebook, but she doesn't have an account. Social post
from Jim's account about stuff like ringing the Salvation Army bell,
which Jim was involved, and she took that over, but
she posted from Jim's page. So like, one day I
open it up and I'm like, WHOA like Jim Scott's
(13:34):
Jim Scott's Jim Scott's posting on Facebook from the afterlife,
And then I read it and realized it it was
his wife posting on his page about what she was
doing because she doesn't have one. And this is overly complex,
but yeah, I have hung on two people who are
no longer with us, and Jim is one of them.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
When you think about it, we're all just trying to
live well enough that one day my will still be
friends with us on Facebook after we're gone.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, maybe you would be one of those folks. And
I'm probably gonna die before you. But yeah, but you know,
I we don't know. I don't want to get carried away.
You don't know that's true? All right, man, I gotta go,
Thank you all. Hi, Thanks man Rick Brooring, Musketeer Report
dot com, NKU Radio, and Facebook. I cannot believe how
late we are. It's two minutes after four o'clock on

college football, should create the position of commissioner. So let's
create it and say, you're the commissioner of college basketball.
What changes or lack of changes do you make? I
want to read that on Facebook, and honestly, the sooner
(09:34):
the better, So it just it drowns out all the
other crap on that platform right now.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Wait, so in other words, like you know, the I
guess Mark Emmer at the NCAA isn't enough. We want
to we want to split off the sports from the
NCAA and have a new commissioner in charge of them.
That's what we're saying.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, I want you to be the commissioner, like, not
some slack no, Like somebody who knows the sport, cares
deeply about the sport, is a level headed and doesn't
mind taking the pay cut. Like I want you to
be the commissioner of college basketball soight, like like some
sort of like position essay on what the sport would
look like if you were allowed to implement the changes
(10:11):
on the floor and off that the commissioner, with uh
an unlimited amount of power would be able to implement.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, that's a that's a pretty unwieldy post. I could
have a lot of characters and words in it. I'll uh,
I'll get to it, but it may it may take
a little longer than last one did.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'll just warn you who's driving to Detroit. You guys
riding the bus, you have plenty of time in the.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Car right Yeah, Jim Kelch is in the front of
our taha. Right now I'm in the back. As I've
told you in the past that we like to do it.
So we're just cruising along. We're somewhere outside of Talita
right now.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, well, get out the laptop. I mean, you guys
have all the next couple of days to talk with
each other and get out the laptop and bang out
a post.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, that's what I'm working on right now. I've already
got it open. Facebook is ahead of me. Did you
know you can still poke people on Facebook? That's still
a thing. So I might send out some folks and
then I'll get to work.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I was on Facebook. I told you I purged like
forty dead people a couple of weeks ago. Tell me that, yeah, right.
And so what I've started to do is accept friend requests,
but like some of them are year, like five years old,
and so I've gotten messages from people who are like,
oh yeah, thanks, that's kind of fun. So that's what
(11:23):
I'm dealing with on Facebook at the moment.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I mean, what's the response after that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I was at my limit. I knew some people who died.
I unfriended them, and you're next. Like, I don't make
the limit five thousand people. I have a professional Facebook page.
You're welcome to follow.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's like the Green Bay Packers season ticket waiting list. Eventually,
one day you get that call and you're like, you're
accepted in finally.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah. So I've always kept the number like fifty shy
of five thousand. If there's like a coworker or like
a legitimate friend comes into my life, like I, you know,
I want to have room for them. But when I
sat down a few weeks ago and I got rid
of like and I'm not making fun of these folks,
but there was no reason for them to me, for
me to be friends with them anymore because they're dead,
(12:10):
Like they weren't going to be posting on their page.
And so when I purged roughly forty to fifty people
who over the course of I think I joined Facebook
in like two thousand and six. Over the last nearly
two decades, I've lost some people in my life. And
so as I sat down and got rid of them,
I decided to backfill and I started with people at
the you know, the had been in the wait, had
(12:30):
been in line, the longest, and some of them were
I guess not that happy that I accept the request.
So so there we are. Well enjoy the trip to Detroit.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I will. Can I ask you one more question? Did
you leave any deads on your friends group?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes, yes, I left. I left two because I was really, really,
really close to them. But I'll tell you this, and
I don't think. I don't think his, I don't think
his his wife will. I still remain friends with the
late Jim Scott, right radio legend and somebody that I
worked with, and his just awesome wife who lost her
(13:12):
husband back in last year last summer, Will still post
on Facebook, but she doesn't have an account. Social post
from Jim's account about stuff like ringing the Salvation Army bell,
which Jim was involved, and she took that over, but
she posted from Jim's page. So like, one day I
open it up and I'm like, WHOA like Jim Scott's
(13:34):
Jim Scott's Jim Scott's posting on Facebook from the afterlife,
And then I read it and realized it it was
his wife posting on his page about what she was
doing because she doesn't have one. And this is overly complex,
but yeah, I have hung on two people who are
no longer with us, and Jim is one of them.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
When you think about it, we're all just trying to
live well enough that one day my will still be
friends with us on Facebook after we're gone.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, maybe you would be one of those folks. And
I'm probably gonna die before you. But yeah, but you know,
I we don't know. I don't want to get carried away.
You don't know that's true? All right, man, I gotta go,
Thank you all. Hi, Thanks man Rick Brooring, Musketeer Report
dot com, NKU Radio, and Facebook. I cannot believe how
late we are. It's two minutes after four o'clock on
(14:21):
ESPN fifteen thirty. Hey, what could you
