00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.040
Tach comes out with a kickout the
page agents to Chody triving his way down

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.280
the plane, stoops the left hand. Hell are you puck by tacking a

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.880
slam? Holy cow? He flipped
it up with the left pan hand tack

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.599
exploded. We're a throw down with
two hands. Welcome back to it,

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.160
Broncos Country Tonight. Benjamin Olbrighten,
Nick Ferguson, Grant Smith here with you

6
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.879
go to the Kway Commasperal Hotlinery on
voice and the Boss Mark Johnson. Mark.

7
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.640
You could make a cross over that
exciting, could you not, Ben?

8
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.199
And that's good to be on with
you. Uh yeah, Well you

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.079
can always tell a little ampusis behind
it if you have to. But that

10
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.200
was a pretty special dunk that o'bd
had the other night there in Vegas.

11
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.520
We were trying to get Grant.
I don't know if you saw the dunk

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.520
last night that Edwards had on John
Collins that was floating around the internet.

13
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.119
We were trying to get Grant to
dub your voice over it because I did

14
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.079
not feel like that the announcing team
had given it enough and I was like,

15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.960
I know the one man that can
make this, that can do this.

16
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.520
We're having him on the show.
Well, you know, here's to

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.280
think about it is. You know, one thing you do is played by

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.479
playing. I guess you described the
action, but you also want to match

19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:06.040
the energy of the reaction, right, That's part of the story. And

20
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.719
so when there is a big play
and fifteen thousand people in the building go

21
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.519
nuts, you want to match that
energy. And so yeah, that's part

22
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.560
of the play. My play,
well, Mark, Right now, the

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:22.640
Buffs are just kind of sitting waiting
for their matchup against Boise State tomorrow.

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.519
What is it that you're most looking
for in tomorrow's game? Well, Nick,

25
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.359
I think this is going to be
a very physical game. Boise He's

26
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.680
number one, a very quality basketball
team, obviously coming out of a great

27
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.120
year for the Mountain West. They're
a big basketball team. Now, they're

28
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.480
not going to oversize Colorado, but
they are big everywhere. They'll they'll run

29
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.359
a line about there and they're starting
line will be the smallest guy'll be six

30
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.000
foot five and everybody else's six six, six eight. So they don't have

31
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.079
any behemits out there like an Eddie
Lampion like Colorado does. But they've got

32
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.319
a lot of size everywhere. So
they're a physical basketball team. Both of

33
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.760
these teams are in the top twenty
five or thirty and rebounding of the country.

34
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.120
They're the kind of defensive team that
maybe doesn't go out on the edges

35
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.959
and really pressure you, but they're
the kind of team that every time you

36
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.199
go by, they're raking at the
ball and so they force turnovers that way.

37
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.680
So I do think this is going
to be a physical basketball game tomorrow

38
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.080
between these two here and Dad.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this as

39
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.120
I was looking for. You're absolutely
right, boys, he does have a

40
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.000
lot of lengthy even if they don't
have the Behemoths, have got some guys

41
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.680
like Beaganhard who can get the rebounds
and Omar Stanley who can alter shots.

42
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.199
But the one thing that jumped out
of me when you run down this is

43
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.680
just how efficient Colorado's been from the
field this year versus Bois, who is

44
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.639
just not And maybe that's the advantage
there is that Colorado makes their baskets a

45
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.039
better much higher clip. Yeah,
with that question, Ben, you know,

46
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.120
when you look at Colorado this season, I haven't looked at the stats

47
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.639
after the weekend, but they've been
pretty much in the top twenty of field

48
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.719
goal shooting, three point shield goal
shooting, and free throw shooting. All

49
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.120
season long, They've been one of
the better offensive teams in America, and

50
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.680
so, you know, scoring the
ball has not been an issue for Colorado.

51
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.960
I think one of the numbers I
be watching tomorrow night when the Boss

52
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.199
hold their opponent under seventy points.
They're seventeen and won this season, and

53
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.159
so the question for me then becomes, Okay, can Boise who's got a

54
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.759
decent offensive team that can think about
it, can can the Buss hold them

55
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.800
under seventy this game? I know
Colorado can score more than seventy, and

56
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.439
so because of how good Colorado is
offensively, that's one of the things I'll

57
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.400
be keeping an eye on tomorrow night. Defense is always something that I always

58
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.919
look for this time of the year, especially in March madness. Now,

59
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.599
Tad bole Boyle, when you look
at his team, how do you think

60
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.759
that they're going to defend? Not
just with the game tomorrow night against Boise

61
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.680
State, I'm already pushing them ahead
to the next round, but how is

62
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.360
it that they defend as a group
to make sure they keep the score down

63
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.199
versus the opponents. You know,
Nick, if he would ask you that

64
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.240
question in December. In January,
I would have said not very well,

65
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.039
which is kind of interesting because has
always been a guy that has pride to

66
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.000
his program on defense and rebounding,
and they were very inconsistent. So you

67
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.840
look at the end of the season, we're on that eight Welling Street before

68
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.599
geting knocked off my Oregon last Saturday, the nineteen Las Vegas the Fastball title

69
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.360
game, they really had come a
long way. I think defensively, this

70
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.280
this team's playing very good defense right
now, much more consistency, and I

71
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.759
don't think it was ever an effort
thing. I think it was an assignment

72
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.480
thing. Where were they making the
right read, where they rotating when they

73
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.000
were supposed to, were they helping
the helper and all the things you want

74
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.800
to do defensive in basketball. I
think they finally kind of have found their

75
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.160
rhythm on the side. So it
can't can you that out of defense that

76
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.560
they do have a great ship to
get Star and I then ultimately floored that

77
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.439
make him happen after that, So
this team, you know, the hope

78
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.759
is always you're playing your best basketball
at the end of the year. Right

79
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.199
now, college basketball, I uh, you know, I look at over

80
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.160
this in the half. It does
feel like she usually picked it up.

81
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.120
I think a lot of it's been
you know been kJ And then the way

82
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.480
that he has facilitated and distributed boys
who have set up a little bit different.

83
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.680
They got two guys that distribute the
ball between Anderson and Mark. How

84
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.519
do you think that that affects the
Boston in terms of trying to shut down

85
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.199
the Boise offense. Well, there's
a couple of guys you got to really

86
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.680
watch out right. I think Tyson
day Art is really interesting player for them.

87
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.519
He's the first team bull Mountain West
guy. He's six s two thirty

88
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.680
five, uh fifty percent shill goal
guy, three consecutive, efficiently offensive,

89
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.839
and he can shoot the three.
They don't have a big per se,

90
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.959
like we talked about earlier that any
matches up with inside, they don't have

91
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.360
the gut to tell you. I
can finally dant that just another big,

92
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.959
you know, earth mover kind of
guy. So he's gonna have to chase

93
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:38.240
guys because they all shoot the three. And so I think defending the three

94
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:43.000
point line tomorrow night is going to
be huge in this ballgame for call defensively,

95
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.680
and they make sure they find the
shooter. They find Stanley, they

96
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.639
find Dagonheart, they find the coach's
son, Mac Price, and find them

97
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.079
on the three point line up there, and they'll be big in this.

98
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.160
And then can they read bound out
of that from throm so be a couple

99
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.959
of things. I think the tear
Colorado mom Mark, You've called a lot

100
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.079
of these games, and you've seen
a lot of these games. What makes

101
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:11.560
March man is the man is that
we known it to be now? I

102
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:17.560
think there's the unexpected nature. It's
the deep seed or the higher seat comes

103
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.920
out of nowhere that gets hot.
It's it's you know when I was at

104
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:25.519
Syracuse years ago and all of a
sudden Syracuse had a great season but became

105
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.079
the best team in college basketball.
March it's the unexpected. It's the great

106
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.240
stories that we see that you know, you've never heard of that guy off

107
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.199
season long and he's playing wells They
go out of there money, this guy

108
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.079
becomes a house. It's all this
and what's happened in college athletics with the

109
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.120
transfer portal. He's altered all of
this. I saw an interesting topic the

110
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.680
other day where some show was doing
with he said, he is the era

111
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.639
of the blue Blood's over because everyone
is just I that's what's happening today in

112
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.959
football and in transfer portal news.
I mean, it's just going crazy as

113
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.040
being insane out there. The same
thing has happened in basketball, and so

114
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.920
you get talent just moving across the
board all over the place, and so

115
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.480
you're not exactly sure who is going
to have that magic run. As a

116
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.920
result of all the biggest everyone seems
to have players right now, and I

117
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.279
think that's what makes it special.
Absolutely. Mark Johnson, voice of the

118
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.720
cu Buffs that are joining us.
H Mark, you know, it was

119
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.079
interesting because both see you and see
as you wound up with fourth play in

120
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.040
ten seeds, I didn't really feel
like see you. You know, I

121
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.439
felt like they shouldn't have had to
play it in. But uh, you

122
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.279
know, you kind of get that
game. Isn't an advantage to kind of

123
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.759
get warmed up for this tournament to
have that extra play in game? Well

124
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.000
you know that that's the way the
coaches are going to spitting. And by

125
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.519
the way, I was talking with
some books people today, You've got you've

126
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.639
got Boise out here, You've got
Montana's Day, you got you got Collinletta.

127
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.519
I would say to those folks,
couldn't we have all just met like

128
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.439
in Salt Lake City, come by
the way to the eastern for the country.

129
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.879
But you know, I don't know, I use some schools do that.

130
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.000
I mean, I had a number
I was looking at earlier today about

131
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.439
all the teams that have gone in
the first four to twelve teams have come

132
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.879
to the Sweet sixteen or beyond from
here, including UCLA just a few years

133
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.959
ago, on the way to the
final fours. So depending on who you

134
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.720
ask, and depending what the circumstances
are going to certainly you know, kick

135
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.480
some ruts off, maybe get over
the uh you know, the kind of

136
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.959
the odd nature of being in the
instant lay tournaments, and then you get

137
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.560
to the next round you've already kind
of you know, gotten over that to

138
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.160
the fact that here planning to think
it has I think there can be some

139
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.959
positives. It's not what anybody would
act for, but I think it can

140
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.600
be a positive. You're gonna if
you're gonna accept it that way, well,

141
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.200
I's hoping it is. I think
got a tough draw ahead of that

142
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:33.919
as well. But one foot at
a time, one step at a time,

143
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.639
and we look forward to listen to
Call Right Here on KAA tomorrow with

144
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.960

time, guys. Take care, absolutely

take care. Mark Johnson Voice to
