Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Twenty nine away from six. This is ESPN fifteen thirty
on Boeger. The Miami RedHawks are having an excellencyason. Travis
Steele's team is seventeen and five, nine and one in
the MAC and was rewarded with a new contract extension,
certainly well deserved. His team has a consecutive home games,
starting with a one o'clock tip off against Troy on Saturday.
(00:26):
They do a tailgate told tip Off promotion before the
game on Saturday where you can get three dollars drinks,
two dollars hot dogs, and you're going to see a
team that offensively is among the best in the country
and is really fun to watch. It's always fun to
have the coach of the RedHawks on with us, Travis Steele,
It's it's good to have your coach.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm doing well mode, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I appreciate you doing this. I was watching, I was
watching your press setting when you talked about the contract extension,
and he said, we're not where we want to be,
but we're not where we were referencing, you know when
you took the program over. I've got to think just
based on the way things have unfolded since you got
to Oxford, you're really excited about where this could go.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I am. You know, you know I got the trajectory.
You know, I got this quote right above my desk
says be obsessed with trajectory and not necessarily the result.
And you know, the first couple of years were tough
mo to say the least. I mean, then we took
some losses and lost lost by forty a couple of
different times. And but we've grown, Our talent's grown, our
(01:32):
culture has gotten a lot better. Just holistically as a program,
we were really adding in the right direction. And you know,
I've made every decision based on year three kind of
long term. You know, I didn't want to do any
short term things when building, when building the program back
to where it should be. And because this hasn't proud,
there's a really really proud tradition here is all time
(01:52):
winning his program in the back. Albeit it's been a
while since we've won, though, which is crazy to think
we're still the all whitting his program. So we just
got to get it back to that. And I'm very
fortunate to be here with President Crawford and and our
athletic director David Saylor. We got great leadership here at
the university.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well and if and if you're going to play the
long game and target year three, you know you you
you've got to work for people who kind of have
the same vision in mind, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I told them before I took the job, I said, Hey,
I just want you guys to know, I think it's
going to take two years to probably turn it, uh,
to get the culture back to where where I want it.
And when I and I gave them the vision exactly,
I told them how I was going to be, how
it would look, the whole deal, and they said, no problem.
They were really patient with me, which I really appreciate.
(02:42):
And it's allowed me to build the right way and
and not have to make any uh short term decisions
or you know, things that may hurt you in the
long run, but just that are good for the short term.
So we we've been able to make every decision based about,
you know, what's best long term. And and again I'm
very appreciative of having that support from our athletic director
and president.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So the goal is is year three and and yet
I'm sure as the season is unfolded and you have
a lot of basketball still in front of you. There
have been things that have happened with your club that
maybe have surprised you.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Give me one or two of those things.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, you know, I think you know, we're really young.
We have one senior on the team, and to be
honest with you, that senior is not really into rotation.
So I've been I've been very pleased with how we've
been able to close games. I've been surprised we've been
as good as we have been in that area. Now
we especially with the youth that we have now, they're
good players and they're smart. You know, a couple of
(03:39):
local guys, Evan all Right over there, Cuff Cat, he's
a point guard and he's just he's a winner. You know,
he's been that way his whole life. But he is young,
you know, he's only a sophomore. Ian Elmer tap product.
He's young, he's only a sophomore. But he's been thrusted
into these big moments his last two years. And and
you know, so I think that surprised me. The other
(04:01):
thing that I would say, Mo and I think this
is the strength of our team. It's just it's how
we recruit them, but you never really know to get
everybody together. It's just the connection that our guys have
to one another off the court, I think is really
showed well on the court. You know, like our guys
have a true love for each other. And you could
tell our team defense and our team offense, the way
(04:24):
that we moved the ball, and there's just a great
connection on our team.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't want to bring up a bad memory, but
you know, there was I think a lot of interest
in the Akron game. But you guys both went in
unbeaten the league, and you go there and it doesn't
go your way. I call it what it is, and
so I'm always interested in're like, all right, what's the response? Right, Like, Okay,
you took one on the chin. There's a lot of
season in front of you. What's the response. Three straight wins?
I know, like the Ou game, you would have liked
(04:51):
to have maybe finished that a little bit stronger.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
The Central Michigan.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You get off to a great start game, they come back,
and you still figure out a way to win. What
did you learn about your team in the aftermath of
what happened against the Zips?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, it was it was a tough loss. Man, it's embarrassing,
you know, I told our guys afterwards, you know, take
all emotion away from obviously it's my brother up there
at Acre and it's like, man, I really there's a
game you want to win. I want to beat my brother.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I mean there's a lot of bragging rights that are
that are out there both for the whole year. Uh.
But but you know, like again, it's an aberration. I
told the guys that Si fellas. We haven't looked like
that the entire year. And give Acker credit. They played
its phenomenal. They could have probably beaten the Boston Celtics
that day, that's how good they played. And we played really,
(05:38):
really poorly. And I don't know if our program was
quite ready, you know for that moment. Both teams are
six and zero and getting a lot of national pub
and a lot of buzz, and you know, we haven't
been in that moment in a long time, probably twenty years,
you know, twenty some years. So it's Acron's been in
those moments, you know, And we want to be the
(06:00):
way and the way to succeed as you have to
fail a little bit, you know, that's part of the
part of the process and we got right back to work.
I could tell right away with the practices we had
leading right after that acron performance. I was like, man,
I got zero, zero concerns. We got such great player
leadership with our three captain David Obsorrow and Peter Souter
(06:22):
who's a junior, and then Dan Lewis, who is a
senior with the Bishop Fenwick High School. We got great
leadership and those guys man, like I said, they they're winners,
So I get had zero concerns about how we'd respond.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
There's recruiting players who fit the culture and you've done that,
and there's there's acquiring talent and you've done that, But
there's also assembling a roster and getting the guys to
play with each other. And I think that's what stands out,
especially on the offensive end with your guys, not dislike
what you guys are on the other end of the floor,
but offensively, you guys are really fun to watch. Walk
me through the process of getting the guys that fit
(06:56):
your system, and the system, at least to this point
in the season, having worked the way it has.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, I think number one, getting guys that have won before.
You know, guys that will put the team first. I
think is super super important in today's landscape. And I
can get this many guys out there that know how
to play, they have a basket y I Q and
that can shoot the ball. I mean, I listen, you
are Our ball really moves. We are affective field goal
(07:22):
percentages incredible or a great shooting team or a high
assist team. We play fast. I just let those guys loose.
We give them. We teach those guys how to play,
and we don't run many set plays. We just allow
them to play. And I have great trust in those guys. Man.
They make the right basketball plays. And it's hard to scout.
It's hard to stop, especially because we have nine We
(07:44):
go nine deep most so it's like, you know, if
one guy's off that certain day, you know, odds are well,
we're gonna have somebody else step up. You know, we
have nine guys who can all start on our team.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Uh, you and I have talked about this before. This
is this is kind of a you know, weird time
of year. We call it the dog days right where
you've you've been at it for so long, you still
have weeks of regular season games in front of you.
You want to challenge uh for a for a MAC
regular season title, We're gonna need Acron to slip up
for that to happen. You want to be at your
best going into the postseason tournament. Give me one or
(08:16):
two things that you feel like, Okay, between now and then,
we've got to get better at.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, I take number one. You know, like, you look
at this thing and it's like the MAC right now
is a one big league, right it's called what it is.
And and you know, so it's like, man, we have
to win three games in three days in Cleveland, and
in order to do that, in my opinion, it's like, listen,
we're a great offensive team, but you're probably gonna have
one off ninth out of those three. Can you win
(08:43):
that game? And the way you win that game is
you got to be really good on the defense of that,
you got to go to rebound the ball. Those two
things will always give you a chance. And I do
think our defense is getting a lot better, but it's
still got it's still got a lot of areas to
improve it. And I think like as we continue to
grow those that's how we can, Like, for example, you
(09:04):
mentioned earlier in Ohio, you gain and it's like, man,
we were up by fourteen. It's like, man, can you
put them away? You put them away with your defense. Right,
it's to say, thanks Central Michigan, you can we extend
that fifteen point lead to twenty. The way you do
that is with your defense. So we're never going to
have an issue scoring the ball with our crew. You know,
(09:26):
we'll be one of the top offensive teams. But the
best teams in March can do both. You got to
be really good on both ends.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You had Wally's Urbiak in the house for that game
against Ou, and you talked afterward about you know, look,
I first got here, you could hear a pin drop.
I know it's not where you want it to be,
But are you starting to feel like the campus community
is starting to, you know, to buy in. Are you
starting to feel some of that buzz that I know
you were trying to capture when you first got to Oxford.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, you know it's taken a while. Well, you know,
we to give them a product to uh for our
you know, it just starts with our students, right Like
you know here we got over twenty thousand students. We've
got to get students to the games, and we got
to put a product out there that's worthwhile come watch.
And I think this is the first year we've been
able to do that. And I was shocked when we
(10:17):
came back. Our students just got back. They call it
ja term here, so basically all January is off, they're
on Christmas break. They get the longest Christmas break in
America right here at Miami, which sings for men's basketball. Man,
you know, but it is what it is. And when
we came back, we had Eastern Michigan as our first
home game with students, and like the thing was, there
were students in the whole student section. I was like, oh,
(10:40):
pretty good. Yeah, I was surprised. That's the first time
I had seen that since I've been here at Miami.
And then the Ohio You game was unbelievable. That's the
biggest crowd we've had in twenty some odd years. So
it's just a process, man. It's like getting the marketing right,
you know. Obviously winning is big. The experience is huge.
(11:01):
Like when you do get them there, you want it
to be fun right for the kids. You get to
speak their language. And it's been a process to get
it there, but I do think it's definitely ending the
right direction, which again, Malett was like a library before.
I'm just telling you, like you could go in there
and you could's like people were studying here. It's like
(11:22):
got lee, like, how do we get this thing flipped?
You know, it takes a little bit of time and effort,
but we're definitely got to dd the right direction.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hopefully that continues.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
On Saturday, the Red Hawk's taking on Troy at one o'clock.
I've got to think though, I mean, I know it's
not good for attendance, but that's got to be a
decent recruiting tool the longest Christmas break. Had I known
that when I was looking for a school, I would
be a Red Hawk, Like, I mean, hey, you don't
have to go to class for two months for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
All right, Well enough said, I appreciate you doing this.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Congratulations on the contract extension and the sea you guys
have had so far, and hopefully we can do it again.
Thanks so much. Coach, you got it. Travis steel Head,
coach of the Miami RedHawks, one o'clock on Saturday. A
good and fun MU team takes on Troy and they
do the tailgate to tip off promotion before the game,
(12:18):
which runs for an hour beforehand. He get three dollars drinks,
two dollars hot dogs, and they are really really fun
to watch. Travis Steel has always been good to us,
and I know the first couple of years were a
tough putt, but this year he's got a team offensively
among the best in college basketball. They did have the
one game against Akron, which was, you know, you heard
coach talk about it, a bit of a disaster. But
(12:38):
since then they've won three straight a game at a
first place in the MAC. And Travis is a good
guy and I root for him, and it's it's good
to see him having some success in Oxford. You might argue,
right now, man, like the team, they're one bit league.
I get it, they're gonna have to win the MAC Tournament.
They're gonna, you know, maybe have to play Acron again.
But you would be not unreasonable if you had to
(13:03):
bet on one team to make the to make the
big dance. Putting that coin on the RedHawks one o'clock
on Sunday against Troy. It is a sixteen away from

And and you know, so it's like, man, we have
to win three games in three days in Cleveland, and
in order to do that, in my opinion, it's like, listen,
we're a great offensive team, but you're probably gonna have
one off ninth out of those three. Can you win
(08:43):
that game? And the way you win that game is
you got to be really good on the defense of that,
you got to go to rebound the ball. Those two
things will always give you a chance. And I do
think our defense is getting a lot better, but it's
still got it's still got a lot of areas to
improve it. And I think like as we continue to
grow those that's how we can, Like, for example, you
(09:04):
mentioned earlier in Ohio, you gain and it's like, man,
we were up by fourteen. It's like, man, can you
put them away? You put them away with your defense. Right,
it's to say, thanks Central Michigan, you can we extend
that fifteen point lead to twenty. The way you do
that is with your defense. So we're never going to
have an issue scoring the ball with our crew. You know,
(09:26):
we'll be one of the top offensive teams. But the
best teams in March can do both. You got to
be really good on both ends.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You had Wally's Urbiak in the house for that game
against Ou, and you talked afterward about you know, look,
I first got here, you could hear a pin drop.
I know it's not where you want it to be,
But are you starting to feel like the campus community
is starting to, you know, to buy in. Are you
starting to feel some of that buzz that I know
you were trying to capture when you first got to Oxford.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, you know it's taken a while. Well, you know,
we to give them a product to uh for our
you know, it just starts with our students, right Like
you know here we got over twenty thousand students. We've
got to get students to the games, and we got
to put a product out there that's worthwhile come watch.
And I think this is the first year we've been
able to do that. And I was shocked when we
(10:17):
came back. Our students just got back. They call it
ja term here, so basically all January is off, they're
on Christmas break. They get the longest Christmas break in
America right here at Miami, which sings for men's basketball. Man,
you know, but it is what it is. And when
we came back, we had Eastern Michigan as our first
home game with students, and like the thing was, there
were students in the whole student section. I was like, oh,
(10:40):
pretty good. Yeah, I was surprised. That's the first time
I had seen that since I've been here at Miami.
And then the Ohio You game was unbelievable. That's the
biggest crowd we've had in twenty some odd years. So
it's just a process, man. It's like getting the marketing right,
you know. Obviously winning is big. The experience is huge.
(11:01):
Like when you do get them there, you want it
to be fun right for the kids. You get to
speak their language. And it's been a process to get
it there, but I do think it's definitely ending the
right direction, which again, Malett was like a library before.
I'm just telling you, like you could go in there
and you could's like people were studying here. It's like
(11:22):
got lee, like, how do we get this thing flipped?
You know, it takes a little bit of time and effort,
but we're definitely got to dd the right direction.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hopefully that continues.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
On Saturday, the Red Hawk's taking on Troy at one o'clock.
I've got to think though, I mean, I know it's
not good for attendance, but that's got to be a
decent recruiting tool the longest Christmas break. Had I known
that when I was looking for a school, I would
be a Red Hawk, Like, I mean, hey, you don't
have to go to class for two months for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
All right, Well enough said, I appreciate you doing this.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Congratulations on the contract extension and the sea you guys
have had so far, and hopefully we can do it again.
Thanks so much. Coach, you got it. Travis steel Head,
coach of the Miami RedHawks, one o'clock on Saturday. A
good and fun MU team takes on Troy and they
do the tailgate to tip off promotion before the game,
(12:18):
which runs for an hour beforehand. He get three dollars drinks,
two dollars hot dogs, and they are really really fun
to watch. Travis Steel has always been good to us,
and I know the first couple of years were a
tough putt, but this year he's got a team offensively
among the best in college basketball. They did have the
one game against Akron, which was, you know, you heard
coach talk about it, a bit of a disaster. But
(12:38):
since then they've won three straight a game at a
first place in the MAC. And Travis is a good
guy and I root for him, and it's it's good
to see him having some success in Oxford. You might argue,
right now, man, like the team, they're one bit league.
I get it, they're gonna have to win the MAC Tournament.
They're gonna, you know, maybe have to play Acron again.
But you would be not unreasonable if you had to
(13:03):
bet on one team to make the to make the
big dance. Putting that coin on the RedHawks one o'clock
on Sunday against Troy. It is a sixteen away from
six o'clock We'll try to squeeze a phone call or
two in next ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty
