double D darn L Dixon, double D. How you living, buddy?

00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:38,799
Speaker 3: You have been? It is?

36
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,599
Speaker 4: Are you done with basketball season yet?

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: You mean?

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 5: BYU basketball is eaven? Know, we're not done yet. We

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,280
got plenty games to cover and and a lot of

40
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,760
ANNGST to go through with this team right now?

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: All right, so we're still are we? Like?

42
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,079
Speaker 4: What's the ceiling and what's the floor for this BAU

43
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:00,400
men's basketball team right now?

44
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:02,519
Speaker 3: For your your opinion?

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,719
Speaker 5: Well, based on Tuesday's game, the ceiling would be a

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,960
first round to win in the NCAA Tournament the floor

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,960
would be not winning the first round. I don't see

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,240
this team in its current state, the way it would

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,439
play it on Tuesday making any cut of running the

50
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,719
Big Twelve Tour or on the NCAA Tournament. Now, the

51
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:29,159
team that played Iowa State on Saturday, they definitely have

52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280
a chance to win a game or two even in

53
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:34,479
the NCAA Tournament. I don't necessarily know what the difference

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,080
was between those two teams. And according to Kevin Young

55
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,759
after the game, he wasn't sure either. He was gonna

56
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:42,919
have to watch the team and try to figure out

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,599
what had happened because they were a no show against

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,199
UCF at home, and that was puzzling.

59
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: No doubt, it was very disappointing.

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: How would you diagnose the woes the lows of this

61
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:00,000
Bayu bised basketball?

62
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: See why is it that they played so poorly?

63
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was interesting because BYU, as I said, coming

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,319
off its biggest win in the season, that home against

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Iowa State. They're playing at home again. They feel like

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,000
they've guts that figured out. And then UCF was in

67
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:17,800
the second game of a long road trip west. They'd

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,360
beaten Utah by two on Saturday, and the team that

69
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,039
was on that long road trip was more energized to

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,759
start the game. Uyu's defense was horrible, closing out on shooters.

71
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,680
The offense was kind of stagnant as well as standing

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,680
around a little bit, and they just never showed any

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,560
ability or even desire to stop the bleeding until it

74
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:44,400
was the thirty six point lead for UCF three and

75
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:46,919
a half minutes and in the second half, and then UCF

76
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,360
went coasted the rest of the way and that thirteen

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,280
point deficit. I'm sure there were people on the East

78
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:55,039
Coast who woke up and saw that UCFPYU played thirteen,

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,199
But anybody who watched that game, though it could have

80
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:00,719
been forty if it kept up, the pressure was that bad.

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,759
And uh again, Kevin Young didn't have a lot of

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,199
answers after the game. He said, I'm a guy. That's

83
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,159
about why he didn't know why his team came out

84
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:13,560
to fly. But they certainly have, you know, some opportunities

85
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,639
the next couple of weeks, two games on the road

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,879
on this road trip east and then a home game

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,519
against the second finish the show if they can learn

88
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,759
anything in the process.

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,319
Speaker 4: Do you feel like this b YU basketball team, can

90
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,519
you know figure things out. A J says we're gonna

91
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:37,360
be fine in March. We're gonna be fine in March.

92
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: Do you feel like they're gonna figure things out?

93
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, get back to maybe the expectation

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,519
that some BAYU fans had uh to start the season.

95
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 5: I don't have that feeling with this team. And part

96
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,759
of it is because obviously they're gonna miss Ritchie Saunders

97
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:03,079
and and not just his scoring, but and not even

98
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,959
just his leadership necessarily. But he's a BYU guy and

99
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,319
he is proud to wear that uniform and it means

100
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,319
something to him. Uh. And I'm not saying it doesn't

101
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920
mean anything to the players, but it means more Richie

102
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,680
to be a BYU Cougar and to show well and

103
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:21,519
to play well and to reach substantial and to fight

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240
against adversity and all those things. I don't know that

105
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,839
there's anybody on the AJ talked about how you know,

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,399
it's kind of challenged him to take on some of

107
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:36,199
that leadership and maybe he could do some of that,

108
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:40,360
but I just don't feel like there's I don't know

109
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,600
how to describe it, just there's just not somebody who

110
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,639
is going to be strong enough to not let them

111
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,759
or what happened to them? What happened on Tuesday?

112
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: Yes, and d double D Darnell Digson, Darna, you've been

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,000
covering real quick, you've been covering Utah preva. How would

114
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,560
did you describe how would you grate out the product

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,759
of Utah Preps basketball right now and the prospects that

116
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:07,920
the state of Utah.

117
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 5: Are put now. I would say it's pretty on parer

118
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:19,040
for what we've seen in the last Peter Ruckert made

119
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:22,560
a big jump in the ranking, and just recently that's

120
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,839
the DYU commit Will Openshaw at TIF you as well.

121
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,480
He's a six' ten forward who's committed TO. Yu the

122
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:34,759
most impressive player at state, tournament at least so far this,

123
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,959
year has Been Bingham's Luke west at forty two in

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,839
the quarterfinals and then thirty two last night as The

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,680
Bingham Bett fork to reach the SIXTH a. Finals there's

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,160
some good talent, there AND, i you, KNOW i don't

127
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:52,319
know what yu's ideas are or what their plans are

128
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,199
in the state other than they've signed those two guys

129
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:59,360
that just. MENTIONED i feel like it's important to have

130
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,040
some representation From utah on them on the. Team but excuse. Me,

131
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,160
this this particular team right now that you know that

132
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,399
we're seeing is just not anything back team in the

133
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:19,079
year's past for B. Yu and you, know they just

134
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,720
don't seem to have a lot of representation of guys

135
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,360
who grew up knowing D, yu allowing B yu and

136
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,000
you know that they uh by you made a concerted

137
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:32,279
effort when they brought in all the transfers and tried

138
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:33,759
to bring in the right, guys and it seems like

139
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,240
they've missed on. Something so that's an ongoing process With

140
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:39,639
Justin young and and With kevin G.

141
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,439
Speaker 4: Are you something that we've talked about And i'm not

142
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600
SURE i need to get. Confirmation is uh Is Keebri KIDA?

143
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: Lds do you? Know not to my? Knowledge, okay all,

144
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,040
right so big?

145
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:55,399
Speaker 4: Deal are not a big deal that there is not

146
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040
ONE lds guy that's that's playing basketball right now for B,

147
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,279
YU i said To jair but. Greater but he just

148
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:04,639
can scout team, time get buckets at the at the

149
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,560
addas he's not playing right.

150
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,279
Speaker 2: Now, yeah it would be hard to put a tangible

151
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:16,079
number or anything concrete about that because over the, years

152
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,839
even through The Dave rose, era there were some plenty

153
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:20,040
of guys that weren't members that were.

154
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:26,079
Speaker 5: PLAYING i don't. KNOW i, MEAN i feel like it

155
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,720
would make a difference in some, ways but on the,

156
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:32,679
COURT i don't know how much difference it would. Make

157
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,279
and it'd be easy to look, at you, know teams

158
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:38,039
that were more successful WITH lds kids on it and left.

159
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Without BUT i would think that it would create different

160
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:50,320
kinds of relationships on the team and and different kinds

161
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,200
of leadership throughout the. TEAM i don't know there's any

162
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:56,440
question that you, Know, richie who is a, member was

163
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,639
the leader of that team when he went. Down so,

164
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,600
yeah it might be something that we can kind of

165
00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:06,720
track over the next few, years because there seems to

166
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,799
be leaning towards bringing in more non members than. Four

167
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,320
but at this point it's really kind of hard to.

Speaker 5: Yeah so With swring, football we know what it means

180
00:09:58,039 --> 00:09:59,679
to be what you've. Fanned it's an opportunity to at

181
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,279
kind of a glimpse of the people that are going

182
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,759
to be playing for The coonars AND i always like

183
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:08,559
to look at the new guys and kind of see

184
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,799
how they're fitting. In for the, coaches it's finding out

185
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:14,960
you know what the new guys, know they might have

186
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,840
to teach. THEM i think there's there's a good balance

187
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,600
of returners with the new. Players the storylines would probably,

188
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:29,720
include you, know who's the backup? Quarterback whose steps to

189
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:33,279
the front the receiver. Group now That Parker kingston is

190
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,919
no longer the, program they've got a couple of holes

191
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:41,440
stilled defensively with some good linebackers that have transferred. In

192
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:43,080
so those are a few of the things that you

193
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:46,120
pay attention. To we get a chance to see a

194
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,159
little bit of practice once in a, while and there

195
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,759
are new new players to, watch and you, know the

196
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,919
running back. Spots who's gonna back Up. Lt. Martin those

197
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:57,799
are some of the things that most of us will

198
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,720
be trying to get a beat, on but for the most,

199
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,480
part we don't really find out a lot of those

200
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:05,720
things Until Paul, camper sometimes not even until the first.

201
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: Game, Yeah i'm definitely intrigued to see what this B

202
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,879
yu football team will look like in springball UNDER K.

203
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:17,759
Pop how much confidence do you have THAT K pop

204
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,919
can fill the big shoes AT J.

205
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 5: HILL i don't know IF yu fans really understand how

206
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:30,039
good they have it REPLACING J hill with Killing. VEGA i,

207
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,879
mean you could have done outside the, program but PROMOTING

208
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,360
K pop was a, great great. Move he's put in the,

209
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,080
time he's put in the, hours he's got the, experience

210
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:46,440
AND i really am looking forward to seeing this defense

211
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,879
under K bob to take on his personality a little.

212
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:53,240
BIT i, mean he is a little a fiery, guy

213
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,440
and he's very intense and very gung ho with his.

214
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:01,399
Players i'd like to see how translates onto the field

215
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:04,159
that they. Playing maybe a little bit more fired vim

216
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,480
and bigger as, Possible BUT i think he's definitely the

217
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,399
guy that they should have give him the job till they,

218
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,679
Did And i'm looking forward to seeing what he could

219
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,519
do with this defense because he understands. IT i think

220
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:17,799
it's great that he Has Gary anderson's still on the

221
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,200
staffs to help, him Because gary is a great mentor

222
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:24,639
for a lot of a lot of, coaches and SO

223
00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:27,440
i really am looking forward to seeing Al Kelly papenka

224
00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:29,120
takes his defense and makes It this.

225
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,960
