So you see Richard Pitino, Big 10 Coach of the Year.

Miles Bridges, Big 10 Freshman of the year.

The Steel on the jam.

It's pretty, although Tino does not share the enthusiasm of the Spartans.

A moment like this.

A lot more pre McBrayer here to four threes.

Tom Izzo needing a time out after 80 run to put my closing six minutes.

Michigan's naked is six of 30 from 3 24 Mr Motion.

12 years they were up to no there, but the gold first take over down the stretch.

Reggie Mitch, at 16 5 blocks, puts him up by two.

And then it's Jordan Murphy as the go first, just their third win in their last 19 against the Spartan Theo Gophers into the semi finals here for the first time since 2010.

Pleased to be joined by Jordan Murphy yet another double double in this game.

Jordan.

I wanna take you back to last year and everyone knows what a difficult season it was for you guys.

Obviously you've added a lot of personnel, and that's part of the explanation for why you're better, but how do you get a mentality of a team to a point where you can come out and play like this?

Given the fact that you haven't had this kind of success in past years, I think it starts about leadership.

I mean, came in.

They were big on us, coming out with energy today, coming off a tough mentality, because this is one tough people.

That was their mentality coming in.

So you know, Kim was definitely definitely up, just really enthusiastic with how he was talking to our guys this morning.

Coaches really enthusiastic morning, very optimistic.

Come conference tournament time and that N c A.

A tournament time.

There's so much talk about how difficult it is to beat a team three times.

Does that give you confidence coming into today's game?

Yeah.

I mean, knowing that they beat us twice, we wanted our revenge.

We wanted to get back, and we want to make a name for ourselves in this tournament, were very overlooked.

We feel we feel like to be more respectful, and we came out here to get Jordan through the stretch where you guys were having difficulty five losses in a row.

What kept you positive because response off of that five game losing streak is one of the more impressive ones that we've seen around the country, not just in the Big 10.

Yeah, coach really, really tried to put it back in our place, kind of with 55 game losing streak, Kinda impressive.

That came out of the game winning streak, but our players really just a optimistic.

We play all players meeting.

We had coaching being left, right?

I mean, we just had to get back to what we were doing in the regular season.

That's the big thing that way.

Really?

Wantto discuss nine wins in 10 games.

Now for the go first is the head into a showdown with Michigan with a birth in the finals on the line tomorrow.

Jordan, Congratulations on the win.
