On this episode of "Maroon and Bold," host Sydney Neal is joined by basketball beat reporter David Powell to Discuss the CMU women's basketball team's recent clinch into the Mid-American Conference tournament.

Colleen Munson concluded her 19th season at the helm of Western Michigan volleyball in 2023. During her tenure at WMU, Munson has posted 10 20-win seasons, including a program-record eight in a row from 2005-12. She has taken the Broncos to the NCAA Tournament in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2023, including a berth in the Sweet 16 in 2008.  Taking over a program in 2005 that had finished better than third in the MAC West just three times since 1990, Munson has led Western Michigan to six MAC West championships, including outright MAC regular season titles in 2008 and 2023, MAC Tournament titles and trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2014 and 2023, and NCAA Tournament at-large bids in 2008 and 2011. Western Michigan had one of its best seasons in program history in 2023, as it won both the MAC Regular Season and Tournament titles on the way to a 31-3 record, its first 30-win season since 1983. The Broncos went a perfect 18-0 in the conference to become the first team to go undefeated in MAC play since 2014. Munson's squad also went unbeaten at home (14-0) and boasted its longest winning streak (21) since 1983. WMU hosted and won the Mid-American Conference Championship to punch its ticket to the NCAA Tournament, its fourth berth under Munson. In the first round, the Brown and Gold ousted No. 7 seed Auburn in straight sets for its third NCAA Tournament win in Munson's tenure.  In our conversation today, we discuss with Colleen her approach to coaching and recruiting, the importance of developing your own players and knowing authentically who you are as both a coach and a program. We also discuss some of her accountability  and personal development tools she used this past year to have one of the most successful seasons in program history without bringing in any new players.  Connect with Colleen at Colleen.Munson@wmich.edu REGISTRATION FOR THE 2024 WAY OF CHAMPIONS CONFERENCE IS OPEN! Save $100 if you sign up prior to June 30, and save 50% per person for groups of five or more.

(00:00 - 27:21) - The Fan MidDay Show is LIVE in the Bottleworks District today. Inside the Garage Food Hall the show opens up with Jimmy Cook and Brian Noe discussing the Indianapolis Colts signing of quarterback Gardner Minshew. He comes to Indy from the Philadelphia Eagles after spending two seasons as their backup. Noe believes that Minshew is a decent signing for the Colts as he is a decent talent and saves the team some valuable cap space. Is there a massive gap in talent between the top four quarterback names being thrown around in the 2023 NFL draft? Would signing a new quarterback make the fan base impatient if the team draftet a quarterback as well? Princeton's miraculous upset over Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last night. (27:22 - 40:33) - Cook and Noe dig into the Purdue and Fairleigh Dickinson matchup happening later today. Dickinson's head coach talked a big game saying they think beating Purdue is a strong possibility. Why did Brandon Miller play in the first round if he is nursing a groin injury? As a 1 seed team Alabama could have afforded to sit a star player for their first game. The colors of the courts in this tournament seem to be a bit off.    (40:34 - 49:48) - Noe thinks that both IU and Purdue will be defined by their consistency in this NCAA Tournament. Kent State is seen as a rough matchup for IU, Cook wants to see the Hoosiers attack early and often to set Kent State on their heels early. While Purdue has a substantially easier matchup, they have to leave their frustrations over foul calls at the door this game and just go out and play strong basketball.   (49:49 - 1:20:00) - Kevin Bowen of The Fan morning show Kevin & Query joins the program at the start of the second hour, the three hosts all comment on the variety of activites you can engage in at The Garage in the Bottleworks district. Then Bowman discusses how he feels about IU's chances tonight. He believes that a couple of players will have to get going in order for others to follow suit. If Trace Jackson-Davis or Miller Kopp can start hot then the rest of the team should be able to match that energy. Kent State will not be timid against IU tonight, as they have played very well against high ranked opponents and are riding high off their MAC Tournament win. Pivotting to football Bowman thinks that Minshew joining the Colts is going to be a solid addition to the team right now. Minshew played under the Colts new headcoach Shane Steichen in Philadelphia. Despite the addition the conversation of how is Indianapolis going to protect its quarterback is still up in the air. (1:20:01 - 1:34:35) - Recapping some of the fun basketball stories that have come from this NCAA Tournament. 14th ranked Kennesaw State, who at the time of recording was up over the 3rd ranked Xavier had their first nationally televised home basketball game this season. Keyontae Johnson who collapsed during a game with a large heart in 2020 is passing on a 5 million dollar insurance payment in order to pursue an NBA career. Noe and Cook go over the current tournament games being played, and if there are any appealing bets to be placed. (1:34:36 - 1:38:41) - A fan gifted the guys a drink on this St. Patrick's Day episode of the MidDay Show. The guys close out the hour with more conversation over Colts latest signee Gardner Minshew and comparisons to who else they could have signed. (1:38:42 - 2:05:02) Coach Seth Greenberg is on the show to talk about the NCAA Tournament and immediately addresses the Kennesaw State vs. Xavier situation saying that the Musketeers are just getting "out toughed" by the Owls. Greenberg is confident that IU will win their contest tonight against Kent State. The Hoosier's strong guard game is a noticeable advantage to him. He is similarly hopeful for Purdue, but notes that their schedule gets difficult quickly as a win tonight immediately puts them against either Memphis or Florida Atlantic, then Duke or Tennessee will be after that. After the interview there is more deconstruction of IU and Purdue's matchups. Cook references a relevant statistic pertaining to NCAA Champions regular season 3 point percentage. IU's three point percentage is within the range of those National Champion teams, while Purdue has not. Purdue shoots plenty of threes. but they are not hitting nearly as many. Noe received a "career ending" handshake yesterday during JMv's show.  (2:05:03 - 2:19:20) - Xavier managed to comeback and tie the game up, live updates on the program. Noe admits to Kyle, the Bottleworks Manager, that his handshake caused an injury yesterday. Noe and Cook take the time to interview Kyle about the development of The Garage Food Hall and how they managed to build up a fantastic eatery in the downtown area. The three men then sort of run down the bracket and see who has been making the right picks so far this tournament. (2:19:21 - 2:22:42) - J Cook's Plays of the Day and closing conversation.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
