We have two really compelling interviews for you this week on Defend the Block. Couple of point guards and not the ones that necessarily stand out as the stars of their programs, of course, Michigan, Mila Holloway on the women's side, Elliot Cadeau on the men's side. They have established outstanding resumes, but with Mila Holloway's injury, Dallas Loughridge thrust into some unique spots here in the Michigan women's basketball program. We'll see what she can do coming up this season for the maize and blue, especially with Mila out. And then of course, Kenny Noland, after four really strong seasons at Columbia, he is here trying to use that extra year that maybe he'll get, just like maybe Roddy Gayle junior will get it. And to show you how strange the journey has been, we've seen Nolan in the first couple of exhibitions. We have not yet seen March Roddy.
Brian Boesch • 00:51
He is not October Roddy, at least at this stage. We'll see if that changes on Sunday when Michigan plays Houston in their final exhibition. So two really interesting conversations. We'll see what the roles for Dallas and and Kenny look like throughout the course of the season. But they've played a lot of basketball. They are veterans, high IQ players and I'm excited to let you get to know them a little bit in a moment. Just a reminder, this is our last kind of traditional off season episode of Defend the Block next week. I think it'll come out Tuesday afternoon. Don't quote me, because we're trying to figure out the logistics to make this happen yet again. But I know it's been a popular way to close the off season portion of our coverage with some of those fun off the radar, very rare. Are they basketball related questions with both Michigan men's and women's basketball, I don't know if we'll get every single player and again, I'm not exactly sure on timing, but the goal is to get it out sometime next Tuesday afternoon.
Brian Boesch • 01:46
We'll still have the post game episode from Michigan Houston coming up Sunday evening after the trip up to Grand Rapids. But all of that very, very much an exciting time for Defend the Block. Exciting time to be a basketball fan. So we will again pivot to the post game episodes on the men's side, try to get some select women's ones in there as well as we bring you Michigan basketball coverage. We'll have the inside Michigan basketball radio show coming back very end of December first show for that December twenty eighth and then shortly thereafter the television show hosted by our good friend Ed Kengerski will start up shortly after the first of the year. So it's almost here. We've got exhibition basketball underway for the men. The women will play next week. And we've got two great conversations for you coming up here today. Dallas Loughridge and then Kenny Noland right here on Defend the Block.

We're talking Michigan basketball. Welcome to Defend the Block, where we'll take you inside the basketball programs with interviews, analysis, and so much more. Now, here's your host, Brian Boesch.
Brian Boesch • 02:50
Continuing our coverage of Michigan women's basketball on Defend the Block. Great to visit with a new face around Ann Arbor, it is Dallas Loughridge. First off, how has your time in Ann Arbor been? The acclimation process?
Dallas Loughridge • 03:02
Yes, my time in Ann Arbor has been great so far. I think it's obviously a bit of a culture shock and environment change from back at home in Australia, but I love it here. It's such a cute little town, and I love the great, great group of people that we have around, and I've been enjoying my time.
Brian Boesch • 03:17
Had you been to the US do you know much about it before you got here?
Dallas Loughridge • 03:21
No, I've only been to California, so. Just for a few little holidays, but nothing crazy.
Brian Boesch • 03:26
What do you miss most about Australia and what so far here in the US have you found to go? Yeah, no, I can play with.
Dallas Loughridge • 03:34
I would say I probably just miss my friends and family the most. Or the food. I feel like I miss my Aussie snacks.
Brian Boesch • 03:41
Okay.
Dallas Loughridge • 03:42
But I love the facilities here in America. I feel like that's different to back home. Like, America does everything so much bigger than the rest of the world. So I've been loving the facilities and the resources here at college.
Brian Boesch • 03:52
All right. What's the food you most long for? Or the meal?
Dallas Loughridge • 03:56
I would say a Palmer from one of the pubs back at home. Or the chocolate. The Capri chocolate.
Brian Boesch • 04:03
Okay, the first one. What was that again? And describe it for us.
Dallas Loughridge • 04:06
A Palmer. So like a chicken parmigiano.
Brian Boesch • 04:09
Okay. Chicken parmesan?
Dallas Loughridge • 04:11
Yeah, yeah.
Brian Boesch • 04:11
Okay.
Dallas Loughridge • 04:12
I would say that.
Brian Boesch • 04:12
Are you. I've tried Vegemite and I can't do it. Are you a Vegemite fan?
Dallas Loughridge • 04:15
I love my Vegemite.
Brian Boesch • 04:16
Okay. Like, is that just, like, passed down, like you're guaranteed if you're from Australia? I just. I tried. I went there once as a kid. I couldn't do it.
Dallas Loughridge • 04:23
Okay. But I feel like a lot of Americans have said this to me, but they try it, like, just on its own, and no one eats it like that.
Brian Boesch • 04:30
So I've tried it on. Oh, you've tried it with bread, but yes, correct.
Dallas Loughridge • 04:33
Oh, really?
Brian Boesch • 04:34
No. Yeah. See, I love character flaw, judging me. I understand.
Dallas Loughridge • 04:36
No, it's okay.
Brian Boesch • 04:38
It's okay.
Brian Boesch • 04:38
I did see someone who flat out just took a spoonful when I was there and loved that. That was a good spoon.
Dallas Loughridge • 04:43
Yeah, no, see, I'm not like that. I like mine with toast butter.
Brian Boesch • 04:46
Yeah, okay, fair enough. See, we're. We're figuring this out. All right, you were in the WNBL, a professional league down in Australia. When did college basketball and come to the US first kind of get onto your radar as a possibility?
Dallas Loughridge • 04:59
I think when I was eighteen, in high school, I was looking at college, and then, you know, I got a professional contract offer, so I decided I'd take that instead. And then I think over the past couple of years, I've seen a few Aussies like over here playing in college. It just looks like a crazy environment. It's a completely different style of play and a different game. So I think kind of towards the end of my last season in the WNBL, I thought that college could be something that I'd want to go and try just to try and, you know, change my game and add to my game, because obviously, there's great players over here, and it's a different style of play. So I just thought, yeah, towards the end, it was a really quick turnaround to try and come here, but I thought I'd really want to give it a try.
Brian Boesch • 05:40
And you were the league's breakout player of the year. So what clicked for you last season? Where? Why were you able to make the jump that you did?
Dallas Loughridge • 05:47
I think, obviously, I changed teams. My previous team, just being younger in my first couple of years in that league, you know, I was learning a lot, still getting my confidence back. And then I think last season, I just kind of had a lot of confidence from the coaching staff and my team around me and kind of just got to go out and play my game. And then I kind of. Yeah, it ended up being a good season.
Brian Boesch • 06:08
Two seasons ago, you played with someone who obviously has her number hanging in the rafters at Crisler, a legend around here. And Naz Hillmon. What do you remember about that? And now seeing her doing so well in the WNBA?
Dallas Loughridge • 06:19
I absolutely love Nas. I loved playing with her, the way she carries herself. She works so hard. And I was also quite young when she was over there playing with me, so I learned a lot from her. She was a great leader on our team and always worked super hard, so I absolutely love that. And she's killing it now in The W. So it's honestly been amazing to watch her come over here and play that, too.
Brian Boesch • 06:40
Did you talk to her about Michigan or tell her that you were committing to Michigan?
Dallas Loughridge • 06:44
I did, yeah. Of course. I reached out to her just to kind of see what the program had to offer and if it would kind of be a good fit for me. And she. Yeah, she agreed and gave me some advice and told me that it would be a great fit.
Brian Boesch • 06:56
So, yeah, there you go. Naz Hillmon, still helping out the Wolverines. Dallas Loughridge here with us on Defend the Block. So you did commit to Michigan. Why? After you explored college basketball, why was Michigan your decision?
Dallas Loughridge • 07:08
I think my morals just align with the coaching staff. I mean, coach Arico says the importance of working hard, and I think I've always carried myself with that from a young age, especially being undersized player. I always am trying to work hard. That's where I get my confidence from, is putting in the work. So I think it just aligned with the coaching staff and also the style of play. We've got a great team here at Michigan, and the girls are super talented. So I think just being able to come over here and add my piece into an already talented team with such a great coaching staff, I think was really exciting for me.
Brian Boesch • 07:41
So, for fans who haven't seen you play, describe your game. What do you feel like you really excel at? And maybe there are some things you still feel like you need to work on.
Dallas Loughridge • 07:49
I would just say I play really hard. I'm super competitive. I don't like to lose. So I. I play, I give it my all every time I'm out on the floor. And I think I also play with the fast pace. I like to create for others and myself on the offensive end and then defensive end. I'm just playing physical and playing hard.
Brian Boesch • 08:07
Everybody I've asked, hey, what's the aftermath of the Mila Holloway injury? And they've pretty much within ten seconds have said your name. I know that's not how you want to get more responsibilities and more opportunities, but how have you tried to help alleviate some of the concerns now, still before the season with Mila being injured?
Dallas Loughridge • 08:27
Yeah, I think Mila was a great player, and I was really excited to come over and play with her, so hopefully, you know, that will happen. But I just think obviously my professional career, my experience from back home has really prepared me to come over and take on that role. So I think I'm really lucky that I've had that experience behind my belt. I'm a bit Older. I'm twenty two, so I think, yeah, just having that experience and I was the main point guard back, back home in my, in my league that I was playing in. So I think just, yeah, I feel like I'm prepared for that to come over and yeah, take that role on.
Brian Boesch • 08:59
It's obviously the coach's decision once we get to this point and hopefully Mila's back sooner rather than later, but it feels like you and her skill sets could lead to being able to play together at the same time. That. That seems to be a pretty exciting proposition for, you know.
Dallas Loughridge • 09:11
Yeah, for sure. I think Mil is a great player. She's a great point guard and a great scorer as well. So I think we'll really be able to play with each other and play off each other and I think it's really exciting.
Brian Boesch • 09:20
So some of the other stars on this team that have been established, when you have a player like Silas Swords who can shoot from maybe Australia at times out there, her, her length and her ability to shoot from deep is so impressive. How does that help you be more effective in your distribution, in your scoring?
Dallas Loughridge • 09:39
Yeah, for sure. I think I absolutely love playing with Sai. She's a great shooter, as I said. So it makes my life easier as a point guard just being able to find her, find her shots, her releases really fast. So I think it's like really great to play on a point guard of things, you know, set up plays for her and find her out on the perimeter. But also, you know, she's a great player, so she's going to be heavily defended, which, like, creates more space for the rest of us to go and create.
Brian Boesch • 10:02
So we talked with Olivia Olson on the podcast a couple of weeks ago and she seems to really set the tone with her work ethic. I. I'm convinced she has a. A sleeping bag or a bed somewhere here. She is always around. What have been your impressions of being out there with her?
Dallas Loughridge • 10:18
I love Liv off the court as well, so she's great. She's trying to be an Aussie as well. She's trying to pick up the Australian slang. Yeah.
Brian Boesch • 10:25
Really? Okay. How well is she doing? Just you and me talking. She won't hear me.
Dallas Loughridge • 10:29
All right. She seems skeptical, but yeah, she works so hard. She's so talented and I think again, just being able to play with high caliber players like her and sigh, I think it just makes my life easier, especially coming in. But also, yeah, just trying to play off her. She cuts really well. She can see score at any given time, so it's just really makes my job really easy.
Brian Boesch • 10:50
Last week, Te'Yala Delfosse told us that she's gotten stronger. She's being more impactful inside, which hasn't really been a huge part of her game. How have you seen her not just in that role, but overall be such a factor? Because she was huge for this team
Dallas Loughridge • 11:03
last year for sure. Tay is one of the most athletic people I've ever seen play. She is so talented and I think she's going to be have a massive role this year and be amazing for us. But coming over and just. Yeah, seeing her and her style of play, she just. I also love playing with her because she's so athletic, she's so strong, she can score, she can defend as well. Like she's so long. So yeah, she's amazing.
Brian Boesch • 11:26
Camaraderie. For you and a few others who are in the program for the first time, how welcomed have you felt and was it pretty easy to get acclimated once you got here? We talked about the Ann Arbor aspect, but within a program that has a lot of players who were here last year and had been here for multiple years.
Dallas Loughridge • 11:41
Yeah, everyone's been amazing. For me, being so far away from home, I think, you know, I thought that was going to be a little bit of a struggle at the start, but everyone's been so welcoming. It's such like a family here, especially the coaches and the players. It's like everyone's combined. It's not divided. And I think, yeah, everyone's just been so supportive and welcoming for me. So it's making it a home away from home.
Brian Boesch • 12:02
Will your family be able to come out? Has that been planned for a trip at all coming up this winter?
Dallas Loughridge • 12:07
Yes, they're going to try and come out for the first. The first couple of games.
Brian Boesch • 12:10
Great. So coming up here, that's awesome.
Dallas Loughridge • 12:12
Yeah. Which is exciting.
Brian Boesch • 12:13
Academically, what are you focusing on and when the basketball stops bouncing, do you have an idea of what you want to do?
Dallas Loughridge • 12:19
At the moment I'm just studying a general study, but because I still. Yeah, not sure what I'm going to do after basketball yet. I just trying to see kind of where I want to go with that, but not sure yet.
Brian Boesch • 12:33
Lastly, you mentioned Australian slang. Is there a basketball related term that is in Australia that does not exist in the United States that you've maybe people looked you like. What are you talking about, Dallas?
Dallas Loughridge • 12:44
I feel like I can't even think of one off the top of my head, but I feel like there's so many different things that I say both basketball terms and off off court that everyone's like, wait, what? But I feel like I'm. I'm getting the whole team their Australian culture. I feel like everyone's starting to understand the slang school.
Brian Boesch • 13:00
That's great. Well, Dallas, I appreciate you making the time. Thanks for joining us and we look forward to seeing you out there. The maze in blue coming up soon.
Dallas Loughridge • 13:06
Thanks. Thanks for having me.
Brian Boesch • 13:07
Kenny Noland standing by for Michigan men's basketball. Of course, the first week of November, that's when the college basketball season starts.

Great to visit with one of the new members of Michigan men's basketball. That is Kenny Noland here on Defend the Block. First off, Kenny, you've got a chance to get acclimated to the campus, to Ann Arbor. How's that element gone for you so far?
Kenny Noland • 14:24
I mean, it's been awesome. Ann Arbor is great. No complaints there on that side for sure.
Brian Boesch • 14:29
Now, in terms of school, you're obviously going from one incredible academic institution to another double major at Columbia, Psychology and Political science. What is the opportunity educationally like for you to. To go from an Ivy League school now to the University of Michigan?
Kenny Noland • 14:47
Yeah, I mean, I think. I think definitely was like a big part of, like, in the decision, like in coming here and just like that big brand of Michigan. So I feel like to be able to have both those degrees, I think it'll be pretty exciting, for sure. Hopefully a lot of doors open up, no doubt.
Brian Boesch • 15:03
Do you have an idea of what, when the basketball stops bouncing for you, whenever that may be, what you want
Kenny Noland • 15:07
to do with your life, potentially? I was interested in finance when I was at Columbia, so I did an internship actually my junior year, summer, and I actually got a return offer from it and Obviously I decided to keep playing, but post. Post basketball, probably. Probably the finance route, honestly, even though I was political science and psychology, so
Brian Boesch • 15:28
follow the money, man. I get it. That's great. What has your acclimation process been like within the team? How have you felt like that has gone? And obviously a unique climate which we'll get into here in a little bit.
Kenny Noland • 15:41
I mean, yeah, I think it's with a team, like how we have, I think it's like pretty easy. Like everybody's a great guy, like, easy to approach, easy to talk to. So when you have like a group of all good dudes, I feel like it's super easy. So they made it honestly seamless for me. I feel like maybe two, three weeks in, I feel like I was already pretty comfortable with the guys and part of the team.
Brian Boesch • 16:01
So what do you. If you could define your role or if you had to define your role, what do you think it looks like? And is it still kind of open ended because we haven't gotten to the regular season?
Kenny Noland • 16:12
Yeah, I mean, I think for me, I think just kind of being like a veteran presence in terms of like, I played a lot of college basketball, so, like, whether it's off the court or even just on the court, just being able to provide like that stability, obviously we have a very talented team, so I think just kind of fill in those gaps where I can and then obviously just try to help us win in any way possible. So. And obviously, I think with the season continuing, I think it can change here and there, but I think broadly that's probably the best way to put it.
Brian Boesch • 16:41
How would you describe playing with and around guys like Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKinney, who have been through the battles in the Big Ten, been on the biggest stage of college basketball. How do they make you better and vice versa?
Kenny Noland • 16:53
Yeah, I mean, those two guys you just named are probably the most talented dudes that I've like, definitely played with. So I'd say, honestly, just being able to go against them and practice every day and even just watch them, I feel like sometimes I'll literally just be watching or I'll ask Elliot or be like, yo, like, what did you see right there? Like that you. You know, that. Those kind of things. So I feel like it's just honestly been great and for my growth and then obviously so for the team as well. So I think it's been great, the
Brian Boesch • 17:22
development of some of the younger players. A guy like Joseph Hartman, somebody who has obviously shown some really unique flashes in the two exhibitions, seeing him in practice, throughout the course of the summer, into the fall. When you're talking with somebody like that, how can you help impart knowledge, wisdom, experience for somebody who. I mean, he's wise beyond his years, with his upbringing, the. The fact that he has a coach in his family as his father, all of that. But also he hasn't been through the college basketball battles like you have. How do you try to help that?
Kenny Noland • 17:52
Yeah, I mean, I think for. I mean, Joe. Yeah, Joe's like an extremely talented dude. Like, he's going to be a very great player. I mean, he is a great player now. So I think for me, I think the way I can help him is like, there'll be times where probably just like in the moment, just kind of like recognizing like, different game situations and like, what, I guess, like how to let those, like, play out in a sense. But like, I mean, like you said, like, very talented, like, he's going to be very good. So, yeah, I feel like really just kind of like those little moments, just being able to talk, like, whether it's in practice or even in the game or scrimmages sometimes. We've had a couple moments. So, yeah, I would say that, really.
Brian Boesch • 18:29
You're someone who played every single game while you were at Columbia, obviously a key contributor. That entire time. When did you feel like you made some of your biggest strides? Was it that freshman year when you were thrown in and started playing college basketball? Pretty much from the jump?
Kenny Noland • 18:45
Yeah. I mean, I think I was definitely thrown into the fire a little bit. That's kind of why I chose Columbia. Like, my freshman year to begin with was I knew I'd be able to, like, play some. Some like, good rotational minutes pretty early, and I think it definitely helped for sure. But yeah, I feel like just being able to honestly just keep head down and kind of just focus day to day and try to get a little bit of growth. The summers are big, so, yeah, I'd say that's really it. Just trying to improve each and every day a little bit.
Brian Boesch • 19:13
What is it like having bigs like JP Estrella, Moustapha Thiam, Oscar Goodman, Jalen Reed, Quinn Costello, Having that type of depth and that type of size, how do you try to maximize that when you have those types of players on the floor with you?
Kenny Noland • 19:29
Yeah, I mean, I think that they just make me better, honestly. Like, those two, I mean, all of them can shoot, so they stretch the floor. I mean, they're obviously like you, like you pointed to. They're a lot bigger than the bigs that we had in the Ivy League. You know what I mean? So in terms of, like, just. You know what I mean? Like, that you get a ball screen and they're really hitting the guy, they're rolling, they're more athletic, so those kind of things. So I think they really just help, honestly, help our whole offense be, like, a little more seamless, a little more fluid. So
Brian Boesch • 19:58
I alluded to the unique cloud over you, and also Roddy Gayle junior I ask around, hey, any update, Coach? Any update? And it. It just seems like it is a waiting game. It is a really unique spot. How do you compartmentalize all of this and try to focus on the task at hand? You've got a lot of new in your life coming to Ann Arbor, getting ready to play in the Big Ten, where that would be a challenge in and of itself. So. So how do you. Whether it's blocking it out or getting an occasional update, like, how do you get the updates on this, and how do you take in all that information?
Kenny Noland • 20:35
Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, I feel like I'm the type of person that's pretty, like, type A. Like, I like to know what's going on all the time. So I am pretty tapped into everything that's going on, at least, like, for my own situation, even, like, different cases. But it's definitely a little stressful, for sure. I feel like just each day, like some of my friends, a lot of people hitting you up, you just kind of have to say the same thing over and over. Like you said, like, each day is different. Every day it feels like there's a headline every other day. So it's kind of trying to do that. And then obviously, like, talking to the people, like, close to me, just trying to remember, like, at the end of the day, like, super fortunate and blessed to, like, be in this situation to begin with. So just try to take it one day at a time, one step at a time, and just let it all play out the way it's supposed to.
Kenny Noland • 21:18
Not get too caught, too caught up in it. Just kind of be where your feet are a little bit. But I won't lie to you, it's definitely a little stressful, for sure.
Brian Boesch • 21:25
Oh, I appreciate you being vulnerable about that. I can see this answer going both ways. Has it either gotten easier because this has been a longer process and you're used to it, or has it gotten more difficult because there's still some unknowns and you're getting closer and closer to the season? I can see an argument for both, and maybe it depends on the day but, but how do you take in the length of time and also the proximity now to real basketball soon?
Kenny Noland • 21:49
Yeah, I mean, I think, I think it's definitely gotten a little easier for me and I think I honestly, I think it's helped me grow as a person a little bit just in terms of like, try not to worry about like external factors and that kind of thing and just kind of worry about, like I said, kind of where your feet are a little bit. I think at first it stressed me out quite a bit. Like I'd be going to practice and like thinking about, oh well, like I might not be eligible at the end of practice, you know, like things I don't know in your mind or whatever it is. But it's like now I've kind of reached a point where I'm doing a pretty good job, at least from what I was at of just kind of staying, staying in the moment a little bit. Just trying to get. Trying to get better each day and honestly just hoop and have fun.
Brian Boesch • 22:25
So I like that. And the unique part of it too is, you know, you have been able to play the first couple of exhibitions Roddy Gayle junior hasn't. I. I don't think you knew Roddy at all before this season, but you guys have probably a pretty unique bond and, and can talk about things that no one else in the program can relate to, right?
Kenny Noland • 22:43
Yeah, not for sure. My lock, my locker is right next to his. So like I'll. I'll be sending them over like different text, different court things that happen in court or whatever we'll be talking about. It's hilarious. So yeah, no, it's a pretty, pretty unique connection there for sure.
Brian Boesch • 22:58
A few more questions here for Kenny Noland here on defend the block first two exhibitions down, what do you hope that this team can accomplish between now and Sunday? One more trial run against the. The team that's expected to be the best of the bunch that you faced in the exhibition Houston coming up on Sunday.
Kenny Noland • 23:16
Yeah, I feel like we, I feel like each, each game we learn a little bit more about ourselves and I feel like that's what these are games are for. So I think like in practice this week we'll be focusing a lot on like different things defensively. I think we could be a little bit better and just different, I guess, different things like that getting into little actions on offense a little quicker. But honestly, I think, I think feel pretty good about this group. I think that we're going to be pretty good. So I think just trying to build and compete honestly.
Brian Boesch • 23:43
And lastly, have you looked ahead at the schedule and is there a place that you are most excited to be able to play other than Crisler? I'm talking about road neutral. Whether it's a city or a venue that you're most enthused about getting a chance to compete in.
Kenny Noland • 23:57
Oh man. Honestly, I feel like it's the, I feel like for me, honestly, it's just the first game and then from there the next game. Because I feel like playing in Crisler obviously is a great environment, but I just think just when it, when it becomes real, it becomes real, you know. So I'm super excited. Just honestly step on that court for the first time and in a real game with Michigan, for sure.

No doubt. Well, the amazing blue looks good on you, my man. And I appreciate you stopping by and making some time. Kenny.

Two great conversations. One heck of a way to finish our traditional off season coverage of Defend the Block. Thanks to all those who made it possible. Of course Kenny and Dallas primarily, but also Tom Wywrot and Sarah VanMetre. Thanks to all of you. As mentioned, next week, expecting it to be Tuesday afternoon, maybe early evening for that annual fun media day questions that have little to do with basketball and then we'll get rolling into the regular season. So for all those who made it possible, I'm Brian Boesch. Thanks as always for listening to Defend the Block and Go Blue.
