Key notes from Josh Pate interview

  • How can you say this is not a Cinderella season for Indiana? People told me that the expanded playoff, it gives more room for a Cinderella team. I said the opposite. You just extinguished the optimism of that. Like Cincinnati in 2020. That was your biggest hope because they only needed to win two games. We fast forward to 2025, and Indiana is making a run. I arrived at the conclusion that Indiana is not a Cinderella. It is just an improbable story.
