It's got -- bit about joining us in radio and ESPN news we are presented five progressive insurance. You listen to the show you how much we enjoy. Talking college -- Steve golfer from New Mexico John -- from a Michigan yesterday and Michigan's opponent tonight northwestern Bill -- will join mr. in the 2 o'clock hour and a team that we've been talking a little bit about a little bit more over the past few weeks is. Wichita State as I said on Friday they're not good for their level they're just good good Gregg Marshall their head coach joins us on the subway fresh take on line. Coach in this calendar year you've lost one game it was on the road and triple overtime I would imagine that the confidence of your team's got to be. Just raging at the moment how good you guys. Right now Scott we're pretty good. I just need to get out these kids way there on the play and very very efficiently on both fans we're rebounding the basketball well and it's a new hero every night it was Joseph radical and her most recent. Where that Davidson in the bracket buster with thirty points on fourteen shots. Yeah I had that written down if you didn't mention I was gonna say I I don't know how many times a skinny guy go for thirty on just fourteen shots that's ridiculous. Earlier in the year against Hewitt LC. He goes eight for nine from the three point line in a big win here against a very good club from the mountain western UD. He had Joseph is just. Joseph just played at a very high level and in directing our offense beautifully playing good defense taking care of the ball and added just coincidentally at seven. Rebounds a career high the other night to which aren't your statements. There's there's a lot to be made of your internment experience in the run the -- went on at Winthrop in and so essentially you've got more of it in this club but you did win the NIT last year which gives you. You know the same thing of advancing to a bracket playing big games that matter in and you clearly built on that this year. How how how reasonable as a coach to feel like you guys can make a -- our eyes out for more -- -- I see no reason why you couldn't and shouldn't. Well I think you're right star we can see that we need to play well number one we need of our favorable. Exceeding its and we got to continue to win that's gonna happen. And then you need a couple of breaks coming in the -- to get there and it's just. This stay engaged throughout the labels there are no labels. Last season I mean we've made -- great and ninety Iran that people didn't realize our three nonconference. Losses last year. Were. Much better after the NCAA tournament and they were heading into the turn at -- I eat. -- adults too. Connecticut who won the old saying in mile week and it's very very very good basketball games we lost at San Diego State. They made the elite eight -- lost to Connecticut. And that we lost to DC you're the bracket buster -- a controversial call -- -- so. The bottom line is our our resume was probably could not after the NCA tournament just unfortunately. People don't realize how good those teams were booked for the NC -- -- The woman -- hug you -- before it's considerably -- which does -- head coach Gregg Marshall is my guest. And you've got the benefit of experience you've got what five seniors and a couple of juniors and I think at the level I mean people talk about you know. Mid major does not only hear it you know but Butler -- US -- today show you can get there but I do think coach at this level. Maybe you're not as likely to lose guys to the NBA and that experience that you -- playing together is something that's hard to put a price tag on. Do you value that experience as much as it is -- That's a valid point drop we you know I'd love to have a Warren and daughter to and -- -- -- and done one day bit. Just not the -- players that we -- we don't generally get top 100 players we get guys that it's the end of their career. Could be topped 100 players because they don't -- And you know the guys that we have the seniors now you mentioned Joseph -- and we -- stuck to seven footer up. That Billy Gillespie offers his first year Kentucky and he chooses six stay close to home from Kansas City. And now as a senior he's been dominant he's a first team all conference player. If not the player of the year he can play inside now she's -- three you can also scored his back to the basket. It is the best defense -- rebound in our league terrain -- -- -- it's going to be a top ten. And about seven different categories. And this is to create program over the years with a lot of NBA guides which re emerged you don't have history books as one atop. Ten players in this. History this this dismissal program -- And he was recruited that first year along with Garrett at a young man by the named David -- crews are designated long range diaper from Dallas so. These guys have had a great career ultimately it's gonna now and in the NCAA tournament. And we're just excited that they finally gotten to that point like this you mentioned earlier on eight. Had been there and I keep telling these guys how special it is and basically if you go through for your college career. This level or any level and you don't get to go. You you place your turn. Gregg Marshall I guess head coach of Wichita State and because of your ties to Carolina a -- is going to be a guy that any time there's an opening people are gonna Chara they're gonna target you. But I think what we've seen in the past couple of years particularly is a guy like Brad Stevens can go to Butler and just look -- you know what I'm I'm good here of many years ago Mark Few got the -- and get exactly looks -- I'm good here. Let's continue put down some roots and a great basketball or Wichita State say look I can win here I'm good here. Without a -- I mean. Just is Butler PC use George Mason before -- -- you can you can win and win big here. We could finally got it rolling now in that we wanna continue to do have a role which. And that's their that we have the best recruiting class suites that I've ever been apart of as a coach that's 27 years. Coming in next year with a five -- class where we're to we'd love some of these guys we've got joining us. And when you're in Wichita Kansas you're in the center of the country so. Not only can you get from one coast to the other in two hours but we also the air capital of the United States it's not the world. And we make all these private jets so we can do it first class. Sell that recruiting pitch coach Celek silicon -- -- people if people listen here and ESPN radio Gregg Marshall Wichita State's my guests and I want to close a one thought. I I spoke -- John Beilein yesterday Michigan any talked about how. After the Ohio State game. He kind of wished that he allowed himself a moment to look rounding enjoy it more I realize how spoke issue laurel and your conference and then your conference tournament in -- ultimate tournament but in the middle of this real special year do you allow yourself moments maybe it's a practice maybe it's on a charter on the way back home or whatever it is just to look around and enjoy what this season has been like. I think he has to Scott because. Our profession we enjoyed the high supplies but also the lowest of lows and and they can. Come in rapid succession one after another so. You have to be able to enjoy it now you don't get to the point where you're showing anyone up. Or by our road to get anyone's face that's that's unsportsmanlike. But the bottom line is we definitely try to enjoy -- with my family with my friends with my team. The good times because those bad times are so difficult to swallow -- I have -- have a line that I used during use his last -- radio shows someone answers to. Coach you look like you're smiling more. And I am smiling and having a guitar this is an easy team to coach with a -- two kids with great character. That just work hard I just need to get out of their way but Saturday after we took kept private plane back from Davidson. And I was back home in which you -- 7 o'clock with family and friends. We drink from the victory chalice. Look you ought to -- doing may be maybe you guys will be drinking from a more chalice is throughout the remainder of the season it's a special -- a Wichita as a college -- fan it's a blast to watch this team play -- or are really really good I know you know that. But a lot of folks -- taken notice all the best the rest of the like coach. Thank you for you to notice and Starr appreciate it. Yes or Gregg Marshall I guess from Wichita State -- their culture brought you by Goodyear from the bottom of your driveway to the top of the key or superior performance matters -- they're only one basketball conference is blimp worthy. Vote for the Goodyear blimp to visit your championship week men's -- games courteous conduct common search blimp worthy. That's a new went there there blimp for the bit there win act Creighton which is a really tough place to play McDermott this is a fine player out there may be. Can be in a first team all American maybe. A started off a little hotter than in because Craig's lost a few games maybe that maybe a little bit of the wind out of sales regardless. It's hard to go in there and play well and Wichita State when -- -- by. 21 voice that does not happen again they've lost one game in 2012 it was on the road to -- in triple overtime. This is a scary team man if if you're from a power conference and your casual observer you see them somewhere in your bracket and and you get him. You better buckle up because they've got experience and they got biggest and as he can flat get it done it Wichita State.
