of stats in this segment we're gonna welcome in some
of our statistical specialists also in this particular segment. By
the way, BYU men's basketball twenty three and ten on
the season now nine to nine obviously, and they were
nine to nine and Big Twelve play. They're in the
Big Twelve tournament, and they're gonna be taken on the
number five Cougars, Houston Cougars, who are twenty six and
five overall in the season. It's gonna be five pm
tip off and Houston is actually a nine and a
half point favorite. It's gonna be broadcasting on ESPN two,
so make sure you stay tuned there, and then also
ESPN Analytics the matchup predictor giving Houston a seventy four
point two percent chance of victory over under I think
you said at about one forty eight and a half.
Speaker 2: Actually sorry, sorry, one forty five.
Speaker 3: And a half for all you you gamblers out there.
But they're gonna be a team Mobile Center and Kansas
City with and they're gonna be on the glass digital court.
Once again, that has been a little bit slippery for
everybody else, but.
Speaker 2: Not for the BYU Cougars.
Speaker 3: They seem to be a bit more sure footed than
their competition, and with Houston having not been on that
court just yet in competition, maybe in practice, maybe BYU
will also have a competitive advantage there and a familiarity
with the hoops, the scenery, and of course the floor
to give them a competitive advantage and get them into
a semi final matchup. I can't wait to see what
happens with the bau Cougars at the end of the season.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get out to the hot line up movie.
Speaker 3: Got Blaine Anderson and Joe Holloway of Vanderwelt on the line.
Speaker 2: Blaine, how that g are you, buddy?
Speaker 4: I'm doing great, Ben. It's been a lot of fun
this tournament. It's been ashen Packs for sure.
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, I got a few stats for you today.
Before we get into some financial stats, I mentioned a
few of those BYU versus Houston bou Cougar versus.
Speaker 2: Houston Cougar stats.
Speaker 3: Another key stat the number six, the most thirty five
plus point games by a freshman in college basketball history.
Speaker 2: Aj Debonsa is at the top.
Speaker 3: Of the food chain there with six, Michael Beasley at five,
Tray Young at with five, and Kevin Durant. The Durantela
at four, So that stat of the day is six.
Pretty sweet company he's in right now, and I'm expecting
an impressive performance once again from this Cougar basketball team.
But we're getting towards sat tax season, where your finances
and your taxi you gotta have a really good game
plan for tax season as well.
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely a strategy is key, and then certainly receiving
it on the basketball court. But we also know in
our own game of life, certainly keeping more of what
you make involves a strategy here, and so we'd like
to bring those two together between wealth management and also
tax planning.
Speaker 3: Well, we're talking high level stuff here with BYU basketball,
actually banded wealthy is always performing at a high level.
How would you describe this by the way that BA
basketball is playing right now? From your perspective, You're you're
down there at Kansas City, You're going to be watching
this game, I believe, And how exciting has it been
to watch BYU rattle off three straight wins playing some
really good basketball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, this is the first time I've been to
a Big twelve tournament like this, and I love the energy.
It's electric. It's certainly March. It's got that March madness vibe.
I love seeing all the different schools and the fan
bases that presented here. This is really quite the experience.
But from a BYU basketball standpoint, gosh, it's been a
tale of two games. That first game putting up one
hundred and five points, the offense was on fire. We
saw a lot of scoring. And then shifting over against
West Virginia and seeing them locked down West Virginia and
only allowing forty eight points. It's going to take the
best of both those two as to pull off a
victory tonight. I've enjoyed watching the games. The first one
was full of offense, the second one was a little
bit slower and a lot of defense. But hey do
I use it on the winning side both times, and
so we've been rotting the coodes and really enjoying the
tournament thus far.
Speaker 3: As prevention is key, the defense has been the thorn
and BYU side all season long. But during the West
Virginia game in the Big twelve tournament, they put up
a defensive clinic.
Speaker 2: They only gave up forty eight.
Speaker 3: Points to West Virginia, I mean thirty less than what
they had given up previously, and that was their best.
Speaker 2: Defensive performance all season long.
Speaker 3: The last time they played this level of defense was
versus Holy Cross, Holy Cow, Holy Cross. I mean, it's
been a long time. I know, I know, I tried.
I swung it to miss. You see Riverside right fifty
three points, Pacific fifty seven.
Speaker 2: Cal Baptist scored sixty.
Speaker 3: We held West Virginia Power, a power team, a team
that was five hundred and the Big twelve.
Speaker 2: To forty eight points.
Speaker 3: You got to feel pretty good about where the defense
is heading right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, And it's my stats are ride. That was
included twenty two turnovers, and there was something about it.
There was some good energy out there. I know Dominic Dominique,
and we don't see him a whole lot on the courts,
so forgive me if I get his name wrong, but
I loved his energy. The defense was looking good. It
was a fun game to watch, even though it was slower,
not as many points. It was a clinic and much
better defense for sure.
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, a good defense good prevention is great in
the finance world as well.
Speaker 2: How can you kind of prevent from the.
Speaker 3: Loss of money there at Vanderwell for all those individuals
that are trying to get a more clear financial future,
are more stable and sustainable future for their financial.
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure. Well one thing right now, many people
are going through the tax filing process, likely completed their returns,
are saying here will and getting the copy of last
year's their teams going through a detailed task analysis will
really help prepared.
Speaker 2: I think we may have lost them there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll try to get job Blaine back on
the line discussing some of the stats of the day,
not only in the stats of the year, the most
important status your finances and saving money under taxa so
you can invest with the best there at Blaine, with
Blaine Anderson and banderwealth ap. Where are we standard with
this BAU basketball team. What are you looking at as
you prepare for this Houston Cougar basketball game?
Speaker 2: And level of confidence as well.
Speaker 5: I think for the first time this year, maybe the
first time ever, I'm going to look at this game
and I will not be upset if they lose it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're kind of hoping that BYU lose.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm not like hoping, but I won't be mad about it.
Speaker 2: You're like, this is a blessing in disguise.
Speaker 5: Like I I won't be a little bit grumpy this evening.
Speaker 3: It was it was it Jonathan Tabernari Ronnie that stated, look,
get to the Houston game, lose it, rest Friday, rest Saturday,
rest Sunday, and be uh be rejuvenated for the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2: That's what I think.
Speaker 3: JT for three said the Brazilian bomber himself, And I think.
Speaker 5: That's pretty good. But in terms, but at the same time,
if we win the hype train like that, the hype
rolls on. I'm happy, like we finally beat Houston, got
the monkey off our back, you know, and for the
first like when by you played Houston last time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had.
Speaker 5: Richie, but it was it was one of those games
where we'd been on I think we were on a
losing streak and fans were complaining about a lack of effort.
And in that Houston game, you saw a lot of effort.
You just got out rebound. Of the last five minutes
of the game, you couldn't get a defensive rebound to
save your life.
Speaker 2: And I think that's because we ran out of gas.
Speaker 5: Frankly, yep, which you might have happened again today after
playing two games two days.
Speaker 2: In a row.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the thing I want to look for is
by you BYU's got the advantage they've been playing, They're warm,
They've got the advantage on the court. I think they're
gonna have a fan advantage too. So I want to
see b why you come out with energy early on.
Speaker 2: Would love to see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you bring up a really good point key stat
of the day.
Speaker 2: You could have three days of rest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, if you lose tonight, is it a
good thing or a bad thing to rest?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 3: Is like my is my take on it. Like it
seems like this team is in a groove right now.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't want them to necessarily just not play basketball
or rest, but I don't want AJ playing forty minutes
of hard basketball on a slippery.
Speaker 2: Floor for five days in a row. Yeah. See, you're
okay with them.
Speaker 5: I'm okay with them going to you know, practice on Saturday.
Speaker 2: You know has be what you slipped those as much
as the opponents.
Speaker 5: I see every like a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, every once in a while.
Speaker 3: Let's get back on the phone line with Blaine Anderson
and being into wealth Blaine train so we lost you
there for a second.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry about that here outside the stadium and disconnected.
Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, appreciate you hopping on real quick. How can
we create more stable and sustainable wealth management and finances
in our lives by by investing? And what products and
services are you providing to our listeners these days?
Speaker 4: Thank you. One of the main things that we start
with is by doing a tax offs servasions analysis, help
understand where people are at if there's any efficiencies or
inefficiencies in their plan, and then approach our investing in
philosophy with the lanes towards tox smart wealth management, and
that just means utilizing tax advantaged investmentsgating with your CPA professionals,
using tax advantaged vehicles that allow you to either get
the deduction now or tax deferred growth, or even tax
pretty withdraws. These are some of the poor foundational pieces
to a tax smart and a taxi buildings wealth planning.
So we're fully independent and have lots of good options
when it comes to whether it be real estate investments
or land investments or even taxing buildings investments. So fret
answer to your question, Ben is to approach wealth management
with an eye towards tax, smart wealth planning and keeping
most of what you make.
Speaker 2: Love that man. Well, a couple of last things before
we let you go.
Speaker 3: BYU is a heavy dog in this game nine and
a half points. And uh, but they've been, they've been.
They've been good in these last three games. And part
of that has been due to Move Davis. B Y,
move b Y, Moo moo Davis Kenard Davis Junior. Uh
has been a breath of fresh air from the three
point line. And if anyone's gonna step up in the
absence of Richie Saunders, it's gotta be Move Davis. Now,
I think he what he's He's scored twenty points.
Speaker 2: He's he's been.
Speaker 3: I think he's made nine of his last eleven three
point shots.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: So that's another key stat And then check this stat out, Uh,
Richie Sanders. When he is present on the bench, Coach Saunders,
by's four and oh baby, they're zeroing four when he's
not present on the bench. So coach Richie Saunders activated tonight.
How does that make you feel about Bay's chances?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, Richie, I love seeing Richie around. I've seen
here at the tournament. He is. He's a great presence,
great person all around and really represents b YU. Well
you bring up Mee Davis. I remember starting the season
he was hitting some threes, kind of cooled off, and
it's great to see him back. He's one of my
favorite players, both on the court and off the court.
I agree, he's definitely an X factor and if we
can get him hitting some threes playing defense, we got
a chance tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate we haven't been able to get to
know Cannard Davis Junior as much, and you have over
the season, You've met with him, You've gotten to know him.
Speaker 2: How would you describe Canard?
Speaker 3: For those that don't know Cannard and because he hasn't
been out in front of the media as much as
the others.
Speaker 4: So he's very mild mannered and stop spoken. I felled
him to be very respectful. I like him. I like
him a lot as a player and as a person
who seemed very grateful to be here in PAVO and
here at DYE. So personally he's one of the guys
I root for more than any and I love seeing
him have some success. I don't know, it's got a
big stretch for him coming out to Pobo, being unfamiliar
with with the Pampas and with the team. But I
like him as a person. I sound him a very
great thing, very respressive.
Speaker 2: Love it blame. We always appreciate time you go one
more apt I have a stat of the day.
Speaker 5: Oh you got another stat of it to poke the
bear a little bit. But the Big twelve Player of
the year today played and he had eight points, five rebounds, Huarious,
that's your Big twelve player of the year. What do
you think goes for today? Do you think he's taking
this personally?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? I think he's just stepped up and he looks
to me like even a better player here at this tournament.
He stands out. He's buys all of the best player
in the tournament. I've watched all the games thus far. Man,
he looks like he's taking it upon himself to see
that we get some victories. And tonight, I know I
remember Ben talking to you recently, even making a few
comparisons with Darren Peterson. He'll be playing tonight as well.
I can't wait to see both of them and who's
going to step up under the lights. But Aj, he
looks spectacular to me, he's the best player here at
this tourna night.
Speaker 2: Love that, Blaine.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you, man, Thanks for hopping off for yet
another Let's talk about stats segment.
Speaker 2: We invite everyone to check.

Speaker 2: All right, there you go. That's Blaine Anderson.
Speaker 3: Any other key stats you're looking at here in our
let's talk about stats segment? Ap you look at the
last three games BYU beat Texas Tech, the number ten
team in the country at the time, eighty two to
seventy six.
Speaker 2: That was at home.
Speaker 3: Then they beat up on Kansas State in the Big
twelve Tournament on ninety one win an offensive output that
was and then held West Virginia to their lowest point
total all season. And then uh and they didn't even
clip seventy uh they they got six six, sixty eight
forty eight.
Speaker 2: Okay, sixty eight forty eight.

to be way to win tonight, I want
