Anyway, the games last night, though, Purdue beats Texas in a really close one.
Iowa beats Nebraska, also in a close one.
Did you see, so, what was it, Nebraska?
Nebraska's trailing Iowa by three with a little more than a minute remaining.
Iowa has the basketball.
Mike, Fred Hoiberg and them boys, they only had four of them boys on the floor.
Well, Fred Hoiberg, predictably, was him and his team were asked about it postgame.
I just wanted to make the point, to point out this spectacular irony or coincidence or whatever it is, that Coach Normandale did, in fact, only put four guys out on the floor and said, my team's on the floor, famously, for high school basketball fans from the mid-20th century in Indiana.
My team's on the floor.
His team's name?
The Huskers!
Look at Freddie Hoiberg doing it with the Huskers in the 21st century.
How great is that?
Back to your conversation.
Dave, it's interesting that you say that because โ and good on Fred Hoiberg for taking full blame, as he should obviously.
But it's interesting that you say that because obviously the officials, if you have six on the floor, it's going to be a technical foul.
But if you have four on the floor, like in Hoosiers, the referee says โ
You need a fifth โ like the referee isn't supposed to actually allow the ball to be inbound if you don't have your team yet on the floor.
And then the coach acknowledges, okay, this is what I want.
My team is on the floor.
