Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot going on. Was the word you said metaphysical, cosmological? Yeah. There's a lot of that going on.

So going region by region here in the West, you know, again, once again, we're skipping all the single digit seeds. We're here just to talk about the University of Nebraska at Omaha and their first NCAA tournament, the 15 seed.

What I love about this team is that in December, when they were, I believe, four and nine, their team started a tradition of just beating the crap out of a trash can in the locker room before the games. And it worked. They were the best team in the Summit League. They won the conference. They made the NCAA tournament, they got the bid. And I think this is great strategy.

First of all, they really go at these trash cans.

Yeah, they really go at these trash cans. I saw a video where one of the guys jumps off like a fridge onto it and does like a wrestling move. And he's like a player on the team. And I was like, that seems like a lot of, like a little risky move just to beat up a trash can.

Trash can destruction circle.

I'm not sure if it's a BYO situation where they're at like a road game. They're going to destroy your team's like the trash can you purchased. Ooh, that's a good question. I'm not sure how they are handling the logistics of the NCAA tournament. You know, they're all going to neutral sites.

So like I was saying, they were four and nine and the assistant coach decided to do it as a motivational tool. And people are like, it turned around their season after that point. I think the actual thing that turned around their season is just that they had a really hard non-conference schedule. And they were a pretty good team in the Summit League.

And then they started conference play and they started winning. So like incredible job by that assistant coach to realize the perfect time to deploy your motivational tactic is when your team has just played like Iowa State and I think like Minnesota and some other, you know,
