You're listening to One-on-One with D.P. Brought to you by Beatrice Bakery. On 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Good. Oh, boy. I've got to get that new addition. What is this thing? Husker basketball in the building.

What? I had to put you two together. But I'm about to turn it off. I had to put you two together. Because we can change the space by having the individual greatness is united. The way you process this game that you care about and love, and then the way that you've started to feel about Nebraska as your second family, is necessary to have this dude and his energy match.

There are things that you guys can learn from them. There are things they can pass along to you. and I asked you the question before. I'll let you answer it now, kind sir. Go ahead. Repeat the question for the folks. Rico, give him the question as it was appropriately out.

Now I'm trying to think of the question. Come on, Rico. Come on, Rico. Well, I was, it was, does the, does the team care enough to change? There it is. This is how I know he pays it. See, this is how I know you have a leader and a cerebral assassin is that he paid attention to the detail

along the way. Right? Yeah. He picked it up. He held it and it processed. Now, does this team care enough to change and get better? Dang. Let me. Right? He's sweating. Shake it out. Shake it out.

Come on. Kay, Witt. He's sweating over there? Luce it up. Never that. Up to this point, it may not look like it. Fair. Okay.

But, yes, yes, I think, honestly, once we set aside our individual agendas, we greater than me, that is going to be when the thing starts flowing. And honestly, we've been there. Like, we took Ohio State to overtime. You know, we... There are three games that a free throw in the final 30s. seconds changes this conversation. But that didn't happen.

Right. And so I think we've seen it. We've kind of like just teeter, tired defense. And I've been saying it since, like, once you get one, just one. Once you get one in the Big Ten, you like, it's like, all right. Carrying the grill, man. You know, it's like, carry the grill. Let me interject and ask the question to Mr. K. Webb.

how hard do you guys work at the small things in practice? Oh, you do? Before you got out of here, we were just talking about. I was listening. Oh, okay. See, I'm hitting you from a different perspective now. Okay. Because I said, how hard do you guys work at the small things?

You get what I'm asking you? Yeah, I know exactly what you said. At practice. And when someone's not working at the small things in practice, who's the guy? Who's the guy? No, not just held accountable. because somebody's got to hold him accountable. But who's the guy on the team that hold, be like,

what's up, bro? What's up, what's up, you know what I'm saying? That ain't going to work, bro. I'm going to need you to box out next time. Remember we was just in that series, and you didn't box out, and somebody got a rebound over you? Yes, sir. Well, I'm going to need you to box out.

You know why? Why? Because I'm sick of losing. And the only how we're going to win is we got to do everything 150% the ABCs and one, two, threes, a basketball. ball. Now, woo.

All right. Now, you see how, like, dope that conversation was? Yeah. That don't happen. I'm not just,

answer the question first, and then we're going, we're going somewhere. Repeat the question. Okay. How hard do you guys work at the ABCs and one, two, three of basketball?

ABCs and one, two, three, as in boxing out. As in boxing out. That's the, you learn that in the, when do you start playing basketball? I'm getting,

oh, I don't know. Stop it. When did you start playing basketball? How old were you? About three years old. When you start playing competitively, one of the first things you learned was to do what? Box out.

Thank you. The one thing, the one time I watched the game. The one time. And I'm going to do better because I should be supporting my alma mater. No, no, no, no. You guys are my little brothers. We used to go to the basketball games. Like, we supported our basketball brothers.

Yeah. And now football don't necessarily support basketball. basketball I don't support football. When we came in, basketball players and football players did not get along. But my class was like, you know what I mean? I had Terrence Badgett. You know what I said? I had Eric Strickland.

I had Andre Woolridge. I had Geron Boone. All those guys that I knew before I even started playing football. So we start going to the basketball games and you know what that energy did? It started making a win. They won the NIT while I was there. They went to the NCAA tournament. T. Lou, Mikey Moore, all those guys.

So my question to you is, again, the ABCs in one, two, three is how hard are you working on those in practice? And then when someone slacks on just those things, forget to play. Fundamentals. Yeah, yeah. Are we holding each other accountable and who is that guy? To answer the first question, not hard enough. Okay. Not emphasized enough.

I'll leave it at that Who is the guy It's a weird dynamic You know They're Trying to figure out how to say this Without saying too much Well don't

I mean listen Don't answer the question No I'm gonna answer Don't answer The reason The reason I asked you Like how dope that conversation Y'all like that little whatever

Yeah His reaction Which was It was Okay All right All right like that.

Yeah. Our reactions is not. It's different. It's not. Man, don't talk to me, man. Well, but that, but that.

Yeah. And so, and the thing is, and I'll say this because I, you ain't the boss of me. Yeah. Yeah. I talk about,

man, I don't know how to box out. And I'll say this because I've, I've had this conversation with coach, so this isn't, this isn't, this isn't a secret.

But I told coach, like, how can you expect a, another play, like, he always talks about player-led teams. How can you expect another player

to hold his teammate accountable if the coaches don't hold him accountable? But the thing, hold it right? No, no, no. Don't hold it right there. Okay. Hold there's one more. No, no, but let me, let me, let's, why. We're going to give the station ID, and then we'll

flip it over to the captain show. And then you will give the second response. Okay, okay. That's called the teasing radio, baby. The captain shows up next. Thanks for hanging on one-on-one. Kobe Webster, Michelle Jackson. Rico!

We out.
