reading between the lines, going to get into the postgame

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,159
commentary from head coach Kevin Young is number seen in

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,079
BYU brushed off a slow start in their eighty five

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,799
sixty eight win over Delaware tel Or where it was

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,000
not a good basketball team owned to heading end and

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,439
they had lost to a D two team, and they

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480
had many of their stars, actually many of their their

27
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:16,920
their best players not even playing in this game.

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: But Rob Right, the Robert Right the third.

29
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: Had a fantastic game, especially in the second half, and

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,640
it was glorious to see the Cougars roar back to

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,959
life at the Marriott Center and get a win. And

32
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:35,439
I'd say a fairly dominant win of you know, winning

33
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:38,680
over By, you know, essentially over you know, almost twenty

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,280
points here in in a home setting. But we're going

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,480
to delve into the sound and find out what happened,

36
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:50,159
why it happened. From Kevin Young's perspective, Let's start off,

37
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,760
we're gonna play it in its entirety, all right. This

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:59,519
is ky postgame discussing the matchup versus Delaware.

39
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:03,719
Speaker 4: Slow start for this group in the first half, good

40
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:06,159
coaching on their part. They had a great game plan.

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080
They slowed the game down, they mucked it up. They

42
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,919
played zone from from the first play on and that

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,360
was a that was a well executed game plan. It

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,680
kind of put our guys in mud, and I thought

45
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:19,240
it was good for us to kind of I just

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,080
told the guys that every game has a life of

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,199
its own, you know, and.

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,479
Speaker 5: So you just have to find what buttons to push.

49
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: From a coaching standpoint and from a playing standpoint, our

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,120
guys did that.

51
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: So what did you push?

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 4: I thought we just we we did a much better

53
00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:36,120
job outside of that first have many minutes where we

54
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:38,599
started to play a much faster. I thought we were

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,680
kind of just in our heels, you know, allowing them

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,719
to dictate the tempo of the game. And it was

57
00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:46,639
clear they were trying to run a shot clock down

58
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,400
to the last little deal. And you know, you got

59
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:53,000
guys banking in threes from thirty feet like it's hard

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,520
to you know, think it takes an emotional toll on

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,159
you too. But I thought our guys figured out, you know,

62
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:01,000
the the recipe was to play fast, get to the paint,

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,639
and then get threes.

64
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 5: I thought we were saddling, you know, for no paint

65
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,599
touch threes early on.

66
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,719
Speaker 3: So they came out and zone mucked it up, forcing

67
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:13,120
Bau to shoot threes. They on the other end, were

68
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:18,400
ultimately expending the entire amount of their half court set

69
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:22,159
trying to find a look that they typically didn't really get,

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,879
and they were hugging up contested shots and making them

71
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,759
from the perimeter, step back from thirty fading away.

72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,439
Speaker 1: Everyone was hitting.

73
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: Guys were coming off the bench, rotational five men were

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,240
coming off the bench. You know, that looked like they

75
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,680
had no business playing college basketball. They looked like they

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,479
could be offensive tackles and they're hitting.

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,759
Speaker 1: That's what happened in this game.

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,479
Speaker 3: And you hate to say it, but yeah, there are

79
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:48,800
some weaknesses on this BAU basketball team, and one of

80
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,400
the weaknesses is spot up three point shooting. Right now,

81
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,560
that's what it looks like. They got into a groove.

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,400
They started hitting them to the end of the first

83
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:03,879
half and into the second half. But that's a bit

84
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,639
of an issue for this BYU Man's basketball team. So

85
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:09,960
that that's what That's what I saw at least.

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, whenever a team like Delaware starts the

87
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,199
game on the ten our run, I was like, all right,

88
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
and then they came out and blitzed him Like I

89
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:20,920
was sitting there on the media row, and they they

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,839
had no fear. They came out in the zone, Bau.

91
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,360
I don't think expected them to play zone like that.

92
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:27,480
They said, we will not let you have threes, and

93
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,079
they struggled. They were trying to get into the pain

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,439
and they didn't. They were more physical and look, at

95
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,360
one point this game was thirteen to four, and I said,

96
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:33,800
what am I?

97
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: Byu was one to twelve from the three point line

98
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,279
in the first half.

99
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:38,959
Speaker 2: And the first the only three came from Rob Wright,

100
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,639
just so people know. Yeah, eight zero point three to

101
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,439
three percent.

102
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,759
Speaker 6: It's crazy.

103
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:46,959
Speaker 3: They turned it around in the second half eleven of

104
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560
twenty and they ended up twelve of thirty two on

105
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,480
the night, thirty seven percent from the three point line.

106
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:54,959
But that's why Byu was down so big. We were

107
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:59,319
settling because taking play zone. And it's not even bad threes.

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't think.

109
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: I don't think they were all bad threes. Like well,

110
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:03,920
Kevin Yung said that that's why I was reader. Isn't

111
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:07,000
that but like even then, like like if it's an

112
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,319
uncontested or even a semi contested three, you know, guys

113
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:15,079
are closing out in space. You rotated the ball to

114
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,319
the open man and he just misses. Yeah, Like, is

115
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:19,439
that truly about three?

116
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

117
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: I understand he wants them to play with pace, be

118
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680
more aggressive. You're bigger, stronger, faster, like you can win

119
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,720
in the pain versus zone with your talent.

120
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,439
Speaker 1: Yes, you know what I mean.

121
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: You're still gonna draw doubles, You're gonna you're gonna draw defenders.

122
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: And you could get a more open shot.

123
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: But it wasn't like these are tremendously horribly like contested

124
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000
off balance threes, like most of the three point shots

125
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:56,160
look set, look square, and just we're off the mark,

126
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:57,879
Like am I wrong in that?

127
00:05:57,959 --> 00:05:58,399
Speaker 6: The twelve?

128
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: Like how many are.

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 6: Out of the twelve?

130
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: I think there were two that Richie took him like

131
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,680
you could have been more set, And I think it's my.

132
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: He's a catching shoot. Catch sho got here?

133
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: And I think what Kevin Young and he'll say later

134
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,199
it was rush threes, That's what it was.

135
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 6: And I think that's what.

136
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: I would say, like Dawson's like Dawson's pace. I remember

137
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,160
when he shot his like corner three, like he rushed it.

138
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:19,600
I thought you could tell you rushed it.

139
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: I think that's what Kevin Young is said, by bad

140
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120
rushing your shot, yeah, because rushing it is not necessarily

141
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,600
bad it's and that's a good look. Just slow down

142
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,560
your your form and the rushing did happen? They they

143
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,639
took about and I can cause I counted as they

144
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,600
took about five or six rush threes that they shouldn't

145
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:39,000
just playing too much's you know, you get juiced like

146
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
how foo's just missus bunnies in the past, Like we'll

147
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,959
slow down, gather yourself. That's what it was. They missed

148
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,560
about five or six of those silver in the first half.

149
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:48,399
They were nine of eleven from the charity stride.

150
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,439
Speaker 1: Not bad to what have.

151
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:51,319
Speaker 6: I said multiple times?

152
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 2: If you want to get to through the tournament, when

153
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,480
you get found, you gotta knock down free shots.

154
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, let's get back to k Y.

155
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: Kevin Young postgame commentary there is he evaluates the eighty

156
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,360
five sixty eight went over Delaware last night.

157
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: He able to look ahead of Yukon and passed.

158
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 7: Though maybe, Kevin, did you direct Rob right to pretty

159
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,079
much take over that game?

160
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:19,519
Speaker 3: Or does that just oh short answer, didn't give a

161
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,959
whole lot you were there? What you make of that

162
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680
legiousy you know't read it between the lines there with Ky?

163
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,439
Speaker 2: Maybe No, I think Kevin Young is a very professional

164
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,240
coach of like, no, we just didn't play the game.

165
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,879
We didn't execute our game plan, and he's not gonna

166
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,439
take anything away from the opponent. I don't think he's

167
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:38,680
he thinks his squad is looking past anybody. I think

168
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,240
this team is too talented and too mature for that.

169
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:43,319
I know that we have to ask that question as

170
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240
to media, but I think Kevin Woks saying like, maybe

171
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:47,920
being honest, but I don't think he really believed it.

172
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,160
If if we were to catch Kevin Young off record,

173
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,319
this is me speculating, he'd be like, you serious. I

174
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,920
think that's what he would think, because if you lose

175
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,240
this game and then Yukon like, look, trap games in

176
00:07:58,279 --> 00:07:59,759
football are different than basketball.

177
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,519
Speaker 6: But I don't think this team was overlooking.

178
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,519
Speaker 2: I think Delaware just came out and was trying to

179
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,199
punch you ale, you know out then frankly they did.

180
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: Honestly, all right, let's get back to k why as

181
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480
he responds to the questions from the media.

182
00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:16,319
Speaker 7: Something that came instinctively to him.

183
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:17,399
Speaker 5: No, it was instinct.

184
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,319
Speaker 4: I mean he's a great player, so like great players,

185
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:23,040
and it's my belief you got to give him freedom.

186
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:24,879
Speaker 5: I think that's one of the reasons that.

187
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,839
Speaker 4: Rob came here, to be honest with you, because I

188
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:29,639
think our spacing allows for freedom.

189
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 5: I think we allow for creativity.

190
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: And him and I've had a lot of discussions, pretty frank,

191
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,399
to be honest with you about how important his decision

192
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:41,200
making is, you know, when he gets to the paint,

193
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,759
because he can't get by anybody any night. And so

194
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:46,360
I thought tonight he was just surgical. Obviously the three

195
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,679
was going down for him. But more I thought was

196
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,679
almost more impressive, was his rim finishing and his nine assists.

197
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,360
I thought he really got Richie going.

198
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,279
Speaker 5: And that's two games in a.

199
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: Row now where it looks like what we all expect

200
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,279
out of Richie. So there was a lot of good

201
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,080
from that standpoint. You talk Saturday about wanting to see

202
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600
the three start to go in second half of them

203
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,759
more than you expected. I mean, look, games are great

204
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:12,600
when you make shots, they're bad when you miss.

205
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Like, it's just what it is.

206
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,120
We all know it.

207
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: We've all followed the sport, and so there I don't

208
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,519
I think for me, it's are you taking the right ones?

209
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:20,799
Speaker 5: Right?

210
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: So I think to start out, we were zero to

211
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,200
twelve from three. I'd say probably eight of them weren't.

212
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 5: Great, great shots, and so we talk a lot about.

213
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 4: Paint to great paint, great shot, and so tonight in

214
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,320
the second half, I thought that was more in play,

215
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,279
and that's how we got more of those threes up

216
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,039
and those go.

217
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 7: Through three games.

218
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:41,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so paint are great.

219
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,159
Speaker 3: It just kind of piggybacking off of what you would

220
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:46,799
alluded to because I hadn't listened to the sound yet.

221
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:51,399
But this is uh, he could have got We could

222
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,639
have gotten better shots. Eight of those could have been

223
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,320
they were semi contested. Well, guys are closing out, but

224
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,519
they're still makeable shots. He just wants much better shots

225
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,559
than that perfection that one. Well, when you're way better

226
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,039
than a team talent wise, you expect to get wide

227
00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:10,759
open shots.

228
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you expect to get wide open If that's Yukon,

229
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,039
that's a different comment. I feel like, you know, because

230
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,399
the opponent, most of them are gonna be contested. Yeah,

231
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,159
And I'm gonna be honest, Can I say this reading

232
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,080
between the lines, because that's what the segment is. I

233
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,919
think he's tired of us asking about threes falling, So

234
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,639
I'm not going to ask that anymore. I get the

235
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,480
vibe of where he's like, look Ius, like I already

236
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,399
told you last game, it's not gonna be a high

237
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:37,519
volume three point shooting team with the athleticism and the

238
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:38,120
skill set.

239
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:40,519
Speaker 6: I think you just have to go back.

240
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: And especially when he's and this is what I mean

241
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,600
when you're dealing with this type of coach, when he says,

242
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,720
been we all saw Richie finally get back to who

243
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,879
he thought he was, and that's the three point shooting guy,

244
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:50,919
that's the leader.

245
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,519
Speaker 6: We don't need to ask these anymore.

246
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: Like the next time that question comes up, I don't

247
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:58,159
know what response he's gonna give, but I'm starting to

248
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,399
get the vibe of stop asking Kevin Young about three

249
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:03,960
point shooting because he's commented on it enough and that's

250
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,759
he's made his declaration of how he feels about it.

251
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the sound Kevin Young poach game

252
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,320
discussing the Delaware victory.

253
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 7: Does anything really surprised you about this group yet? Or

254
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:18,960
is it pretty much kind of what you thought you

255
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,440
would get.

256
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,159
Speaker 4: I'm still learn in this group, to be honest with you,

257
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,879
still really early in the season, so it's hard to

258
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,080
say I don't I wouldn't say no, I would not

259
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,840
say anything.

260
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 5: That surprised me. But I also don't feel like I

261
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,919
know this group like the back of my hand.

262
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:38,919
Speaker 4: I think we're still learning, you know's what's best for

263
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,440
this team on both ends of the floor.

264
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,759
Speaker 6: You ever rebented in twenty four and nine in the

265
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:44,399
second half?

266
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 5: Since that a point of emphasis to crush? Yeah, it

267
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,240
was a point of emphasis.

268
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: Probably it was the biggest point of emphasis coming into

269
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,159
the game. I was very disappointed with how we rebounded

270
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,039
the ball to this point outside of the Carolina exhibition game,

271
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,480
and so challenge our guys to oppose our will on

272
00:11:58,519 --> 00:11:58,960
the glass.

273
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 5: So you know, plus nineteen on the glass.

274
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,799
Speaker 4: I think my analytics guy in there is doing cart

275
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:05,759
wheels because we got back half of our misses. I

276
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:10,600
think on the offensive rebounding piece. And here's I'll give

277
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,039
you guys.

278
00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 5: A little little inside nugget.

279
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,279
Speaker 4: So the other day that Probb been all over all

280
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,200
these guys the rebound offensively, and so Rob Wright finally

281
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,559
got his first offensive rebound.

282
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: We shut practice down. We shut practice down, all right.

283
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,440
So he came in the night and got five of him.

284
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:26,519
Speaker 4: Now he cheated and got a couple at the end

285
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:27,240
there when it was over.

286
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 5: But I like where his head's at though.

287
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:31,919
Speaker 1: Your thoughts.

288
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 6: I just think that's pretty funny.

289
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: You know about the rob right thinks shut down practice

290
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,879
giving us some insight, and Kevin Hun's starting to open

291
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,639
up more with all of us in the media know

292
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:42,519
to get serious though. Look, this team has struggle with

293
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,639
grabbing offensive rebounds. Villanova did it to him. I was like,

294
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:47,480
it's way too many do it at the conference play.

295
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:49,600
You're getting beat by fifteen in the second half. We've

296
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:53,200
seen that before and then even the second game, you

297
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,200
know against holy Cross, is like what is going on?

298
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,559
And he was asset so you see he's trying to

299
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,960
emphasize that that they they knocked it down. So they

300
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,159
did get some of them back. They limited the turnovers,

301
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,240
and I think that's the biggest thing because Yukon strength

302
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,159
been I've watched them.

303
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 6: I've done some evaluation some tape.

304
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: They can offensive rebound in nelhartshe if byu gives Yukon

305
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:15,279
the offensive rebounds that they did in the first two

306
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,759
games and start the season they're getting beat by fifteen.

307
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:19,360
I'm telling you, like I see it right now. They're

308
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,879
just too talented. Dan Hurley's a good coach. That program

309
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:24,159
will run circles around you if you give them second

310
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:24,840
chance points.

311
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: You want to see this team reach its potential a

312
00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:32,159
little bit sooner than last year's team reached its potilar,

313
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:38,039
right like, you want to see accelerated progress.

314
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,039
Speaker 1: We can weak out, you know.

315
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,519
Speaker 3: Even if it we had I don't know if you

316
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:50,360
can say marshall progress throughout last year. They obviously peaked

317
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,919
at the right time, and I believe they'll peak at

318
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:54,799
the right time. We just wanted a little bit faster

319
00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:57,039
this year. Probably if you're a BYU fan with.

320
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,519
Speaker 2: The talent, I think that's that's a reasonable expectation hundred percent,

321
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,600
especially Richie coming back first fourty eight. The chemistry does,

322
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:05,480
but shots should fall and they should be able to

323
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,360
put the ball in the basket. And look for the

324
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,360
most part, with the scoring of how Aj, RICHI and

325
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,559
Rob are all putting it together. I mean, looks anytime

326
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,840
you get seventy out of eighty five points from your

327
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,360
big three, you can't argue that you do got to

328
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,360
worry about the bench scoring conversation for the day obviously,

329
00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:22,799
but I think right now would see how they're able

330
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,279
to get to the basket. I think Kugar Nation is

331
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:27,279
going to be very impressed when they finally hit the clicking.

332
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:28,960
But you're right, they need to be if they went

333
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,639
on Saturday. That's exactly what you're looking forward to in

334
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:34,159
the non conferences them doing exactly those type of things,

335
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:36,840
because that's going to give you the evaluation bend for

336
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:39,120
games when you get to the NCAA tournament. Same thing

337
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,519
for Clemson when you play these teams, when you play

338
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,159
the Miami and the Terry Chocolate Invitational a couple of weeks,

339
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,240
that's what you want to see.

340
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:49,879
Speaker 3: I agree Ky postgame commentary evaluating the Delaware win.

341
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,759
Speaker 1: Let's get back to it.

342
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,639
Speaker 5: Did you even into your bet triples? Little? I have clues.

343
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,559
I have no idea what the stats are during the

344
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,799
game in terms of that. So did he get one?

345
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:03,639
He was close? Yeah? Oh he was close.

346
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 4: That okay, that's probably why he was going so hard.

347
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,039
I'll have to tease him every game and say, you.

348
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,639
Speaker 5: Almost have a triple double, go rebound.

349
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,159
Speaker 7: I have learned your three games and and basically a

350
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,440
weekend to him, what have you learned about your team?

351
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:23,919
Speaker 5: We have some really good players, honestly, and so.

352
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,759
Speaker 4: Uh, you know what what can we do to continue

353
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:30,840
to get these guys to play, play with each other

354
00:15:30,919 --> 00:15:31,919
and make each other better.

355
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest challenge.

356
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,919
Speaker 4: I've been on a lot of teams that have have

357
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:37,799
have had high end talent, and sometimes it goes great

358
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,399
and sometimes it doesn't. And I think the ones where

359
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,159
it goes great is when they all play for each

360
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:45,120
other and so it's bigger our team. For me, it's

361
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,559
like bigger than the scheme. It's bigger than the x's

362
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,919
and o's. Like if these guys play for the guy

363
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,919
next to 'em, we're gonna be really good because we

364
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,720
have good talent.

365
00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:57,519
Speaker 5: And you know, to uh your point about the shooting.

366
00:15:57,679 --> 00:15:59,320
If if we can do all.

367
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,279
Speaker 4: That and then and our three star going in like

368
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,080
we know that they they can, then then that's obviously

369
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,840
where we're gonna be the most dangerous.

370
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,759
Speaker 5: Team to the face. Yeah, uh good.

371
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:15,039
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's so grounded and nothing phases him, honestly,

372
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Like I love that about him for a eighteen year

373
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,559
old kid.

374
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: I mean, he you know, I just love his approach.

375
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:21,720
He's super mature.

376
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: And I thought he came in I don't know if

377
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,039
it was before after there was sometime during that that

378
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,320
that that moment, you know he really got downhill. Obviously

379
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600
he's such a load getting downhill. I think all of

380
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,080
our guys. I'm proud of all the guys cause we.

381
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,279
Speaker 5: Talked a ton about like our rim finishing.

382
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: So now you're seeing a little bit more variety with

383
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:40,279
our moves in the interior.

384
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: You know, in that Villanova game, he was trying to

385
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:44,440
jump over the whole world and they would be in

386
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:45,279
vertical at the rim.

387
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,799
Speaker 4: So that's the one thing I really love about AJ

388
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,320
in particular is that you can tell him something and

389
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:53,720
he is really smart in terms of Okay, i'm'a I

390
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:54,159
see that, and.

391
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,399
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go do it. You know, some guys you

392
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,240
gotta tell him fifty times and they still don't get it.

393
00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:00,960
He he's able to process things and warp speed could not.

394
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,599
Speaker 3: One thing I love about AJ. He has every reason

395
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:11,079
not to put forth one effort on the offensive end

396
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,920
defensive end, and I rarely ever see him not give

397
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,359
a hundred.

398
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 6: He's given like one hundred and twenty five.

399
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,759
Speaker 3: Like he's he's getting in passing lanes, he's he's closing

400
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:29,000
out on shooters. He's very good with his denial defense right,

401
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:31,279
like he's doesn't allow you know what I mean, He's

402
00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:36,799
just he's shuffling, he's engaging, he's he's always full tell

403
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,680
and so I love that about him, and then very

404
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:48,039
engaged when either he or his teammates win a possession, right,

405
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,680
get a stop and or get a bucket. Very much

406
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,200
engaged and communicative. I love that about aj. I just

407
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:57,880
I just want to say that. I just I love

408
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,559
that about Aga because he's got every reason not to

409
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,920
be consistently that way. It's one thing to like, you know,

410
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,440
especially versus Delaware, you could say, like you don't you

411
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,240
don't need to put forth that type of effort in

412
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:11,000
order to beat Delaware, and you shouldn't have to put

413
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:12,559
forth that effort in order to beat Delaware.

414
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: He was putting forth a great effort.

415
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:16,519
Speaker 6: He he doesn't take any playoff, Ben.

416
00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: It's a guy that's given one hundred and twenty five

417
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,000
percent every single play, whether it's getting in passing LANs

418
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:25,920
like you mentioned, uh, deflecting passes, playing defense, grabbing rebounds

419
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240
like he's trying to keeps crashing the boards every single time.

420
00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:30,319
Then he's trying to grab every single rebound. If you

421
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:32,720
go look at last night's game. You'll see number three

422
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480
in every single in mixed trying to grab boards and

423
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,839
not just that. When he goes to the bench, he's

424
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,079
engaged on the bench like he's standing up celebrating, doing

425
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,519
stuff like that. When he's not in court, someone gets

426
00:18:42,519 --> 00:18:45,000
a block, like he's flexing at his teammates like he's

427
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,920
he's a great teammate, Like you, what do we always say?

428
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,799
No entitlement, there's no entitlement. AJ debonsa. Kevin Young has

429
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:55,519
mentioned it. He's extremely what coachable, that's the biggest thing.

430
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:57,720
I go back to the Villanova game. Ag it takes

431
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,279
a bad Mitch rain shot, Kevin Young stops going time.

432
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:01,920
I goes right up to him, taps him on the

433
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,839
chest with the paper. Hey don't do that, Ah says yes,

434
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,480
next play, doesn't do it, gets downhill to the basket

435
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:10,559
like that's coaching, that is. And he just made the comment.

436
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,559
You don't have to tell him multiple times. You tell

437
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,200
him when he processes it, and he does it. Like look, Ben,

438
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,480
he dunks the ball against Delaware in a non conference game,

439
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,519
gets hyped and it's like mean mugging the dude and

440
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:26,680
he's picking him up ninety like ninety four feet back

441
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,680
down to court, Like that's that's why he's gonna be

442
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,640
the number one pick, you know, in the twenty twenty

443
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,119
six NBA draft. Like that effort right there, Like he

444
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,359
doesn't take a playoff, And you have to love that

445
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:35,880
about the kid.

446
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 6: Boa He's gotta go win an aj again, Kugarnation.

447
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:40,839
Speaker 2: Enjoy it while it lasts, because that type of player,

448
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,839
that type of mindset doesn't always come around.

449
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: All Right.

450
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 3: Back to Ky post game last night after the Delaware win.

451
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 7: Davis had played if he really needed him today and

452
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:54,279
is that something to be concerned about going into Savage.

453
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm concerned when all of our guys have

454
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,680
any kind of injuries just because you know, you want

455
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,839
a full clean bill of health.

456
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:00,799
Speaker 5: I do think he could have played.

457
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,279
Speaker 4: I was telling, uh the coaches afterwards. I mean, it's

458
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:06,680
amazing when you take you know, one guy out, what

459
00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:08,960
it does, what it just what it does to the team.

460
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,440
You know, he's such a a huge part because of

461
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:17,119
his toughness, his size, his defensive versatility. So I think

462
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,279
for me, you know it it made us all probably

463
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:20,640
appreciate him even more.

464
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: But but but but to answer your specific question. I

465
00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:24,279
think he's fine moving forward.

466
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are your uh initial thoughts on Saturday against

467
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:28,799
you come to watch last night?

468
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,519
Speaker 4: Just your thoughts on them. I'm still getting caught up.

469
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:35,400
I've watched several several of their games. It's obviously a

470
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,559
good team, really good coach.

471
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:38,839
Speaker 5: I mean he's uh, you know, he's.

472
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 4: A really creative offensive coach. They've run really good stuff.

473
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,799
Obviously he's had a ton of success, so a great

474
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,519
respect for that for him in particular in their program.

475
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 5: So it'll be a good challenge, you know.

476
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 4: And I think some of the some of the games

477
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240
we've played earlier is have have been uh, you know.

478
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: Helped us probably get ready for it.

479
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,519
Speaker 4: But uh, looking forward to going out on a road

480
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:02,240
on a on a kind of a longer trip with

481
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,640
our guys that think that's good team bonding and so forth.

482
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,279
Cool to have aj back in his Hometown'd be cool

483
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:10,559
to see how many BYU fans to show out at

484
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:11,240
TD gardens.

485
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 5: So we're looking forward to it. Two more questions, Are

486
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,799
you gonna be leaving Thursday? Look at what's the timeline

487
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,680
when you guys are getting out there? Yeah, we're leaving.

488
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,720
We're living on Thursday.

489
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 8: Yup, Kevin Gi you're big three guys.

490
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,799
Speaker 5: Uh, I think sc I don't know what percent of.

491
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 7: Yarvard they score for both of your points. Is that

492
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,799
kind of I don't know, sustainable.

493
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 8: Is that kind of how you want it?

494
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,039
Speaker 7: Or do you think maybe that was cause Canard wasn't

495
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:37,799
in the line out.

496
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 5: Or or no.

497
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 4: I think those guys are gonna score a lot of

498
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,799
points every night. To be honest with you, I mean,

499
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:44,440
I think we're we're searching. I would say for somebody,

500
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,119
you know, off the bench to come in and uh,

501
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:49,440
you know, make shots. You know, I think Dawson will

502
00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:52,279
be that guy when when we're fully healthy. Uh you know,

503
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:54,759
we're giving a lot of opportunity to Tyler. You know,

504
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,000
he has yet to to have a game that uh

505
00:21:57,079 --> 00:21:59,519
uh you know he wants it, but I think it's

506
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:01,799
common cause he's he's a winning player, Like he makes

507
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:04,880
winning players out there. I think I think Dom is

508
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,640
shown flashes in the last two games that have been impressive,

509
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,240
and we all think every shot Alex coach It shoots

510
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,160
is going in. So his time's coming just because we're

511
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,240
gonna we need shooting, and so somebody's gonna answer the call, so.

512
00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: We'll see.

513
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: But but again, I mean, our team has kind of

514
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,519
built around those those three guys, and uh, you know,

515
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,039
I feel great.

516
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:28,519
Speaker 5: When I wake up in the morning. Now I'm going

517
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:30,000
to battle with those three guys.

518
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,039
Speaker 1: There you go.

519
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: That's uh the postgame commentary from k Y and Uh, look,

520
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,039
I'm just glad.

521
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: The second half was much, much, much, much better than

522
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,839
the first half.

523
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: They did close it out the first half with a

524
00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:47,759
little bit more vigor in them.

525
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:48,519
Speaker 1: Uh.

526
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: It was a three point game at half, and then

527
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,359
they took the top off and and and finally started

528
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,839
executing their game plan with efficiency, scoring fifty one points

529
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:02,599
in the second half. The final score eighty five sixty eight,

530
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:05,720
and BYU ended up shooting forty five percent from the field,

531
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:07,960
thirty seven point five percent from the three point line,

532
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,039
and eighty six percent from the charity stripe. They completely

533
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:15,119
dominated the rebounding game, especially in the second half forty

534
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,440
six to twenty five. They did have seven turnovers, and

535
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:20,519
they were able to tally for steels. I would have

536
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:23,880
liked to see more steals, right like I would like

537
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,200
to see a few more steals.

538
00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:28,519
Speaker 1: But overall a decent performance.

539
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: Uh, they I would say the one criticism I have

540
00:23:31,759 --> 00:23:34,440
right now is that you know, we don't have very

541
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,440
many corporate sponsors showing up in the Lower Bawl.

542
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: Yes, someone posted on a X I saw that maybe

543
00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:47,920
that's the issue. Are we doing our partners need to

544
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,920
give their tickets to someone.

545
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,039
Speaker 6: I said, what are you guys doing?

546
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 3: Man, oh boy, that you guys need to all the

547
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:55,920
corporate sponsors. You guys got assistance, they should be finding.

548
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 6: True fire open. I was like, come on, now, in.

549
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: Your businesses, you can trickle those down to uh friends, family.

550
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 6: Member, families. There are people you can give those tickets away.

551
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: Come on, give those tickets away.

552
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: Go ahead and minister some of you, come on, do

553
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,799
you yeah your war do your one eleventh. As Klanie says,

554
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,119
go ahead and do that. I agree, how much you ben,

555
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,519
I'm much. That's the only criticism.

556
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 3: Come on, I have no I'll put criticism on this

557
00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,039
on this team, on the staff. I also do the

558
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:23,559
fan base and the donors and the corporate sponsors. Hey

559
00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:26,000
get and the people's been there. No pet band issues

560
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:26,839
like last year. They're there.

561
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, no controversy around found the pet band.

562
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:30,519
Speaker 2: I know people might not like they're showing up, but

563
00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:32,400
they're showing up showing out, So you got to show

564
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:32,960
up and show out.

565
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,559
Speaker 6: That's how it is.

566
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:36,519
Speaker 2: Look, anybody who can, by the way, check this out.

567
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,599
This is crazy. And I forgot to mention this, and

568
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:40,279
I should have got the exact number. Might have to

569
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:42,799
go look at the press release or the stat sheet.

570
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:45,240
I know I have it here somewhere in our band

571
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:47,799
Will studios. But Ben, it was a sellout yesterday too,

572
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,039
so it was a sellout. So for the fact that

573
00:24:50,039 --> 00:24:52,359
you had that got the attendance. Here's the attendants eighteen

574
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,079
two hundred ninety nine, so almost eighteen thousand, three hundred

575
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,359
people were well seat So seats sold right, but not

576
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:02,680
people in it. Tennants, but like they're gonna clear whereas

577
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,160
you And that goes back to the point of what

578
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,960
someone says, how do you have it? Sould, But you don't.

579
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,079
You gotta have those people show up? And and here

580
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,200
I'm I know we're going on a tangent about the donors.

581
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: The rock.

582
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: The Rock's been there, Ben for Holy Cross. Everybody wants

583
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,119
to see aj You gotta SEEJA. You can't watch it

584
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,519
on television. Look, I have put the tweet out and

585
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:22,759
I'm gonna go to my page right now, Ben, I

586
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:25,599
know I was being funny, but I'm serious. Uh, Tyler

587
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,359
Moruss takes a three Ben and then aj runs to

588
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,720
the rim and puts a put back dunk like Donovan

589
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:34,319
Mitchell like us. And I'm serious, and I said this

590
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,680
that I invite every parent, grandparent, great grandparent, man, woman, child, baby, dog, cat,

591
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,240
you name it to come watch Agent Debonds live at

592
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,160
the mare At Center. If it breathes or barks, it's invited.

593
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Like that, He's he's unreal, like to watch that put

594
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,880
back dunk. And I'm just like, man, you're gonna be

595
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,480
in for a treat the entire season watching a kid

596
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,680
like this. Ann Robert right, Like Ben, you've been waiting

597
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,680
on a point guard like that, Like that's the point

598
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,319
guard or guard level play you've been waiting to get

599
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:01,640
you back into the game. Those games can change the

600
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,720
momentum in NCAA tournament games of how he just takes

601
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,799
over a ballgame like he almost got close to the

602
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,119
triple double. I think Dominique Diamonde still is a Myce

603
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,480
scream for missing at dunk, but that's nor here nor there.

604
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,319
But at the end of the day, look, I think

605
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:17,920
the bench is a problem. Dawson has just gotten back

606
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,880
into practicing fully with the team, so it's gonna take

607
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,960
him a little bit of time. But Nate Pickens is

608
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,759
a big loss, so you need Dawson to continue to

609
00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:26,000
step up. But Kevion gave you the names ben So

610
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:28,319
Nate Pickens out he was gonna be the guy. Dawson

611
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,200
Baker is gonna be the next guy, he said, Alexi

612
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,839
koskinch Tyler Moruss and then Dominiue DIAMONDI. He just gave

613
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,960
you the guys of who could be in that rotation.

614
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,759
So that's it. Like when a coach speaks at this

615
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:43,599
high high of a level, you gotta take it and

616
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,559
read between the lines. So those are the four guys

617
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:48,359
I'm looking at of who's gonna merge out of those guys.

618
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: Guys, if you're in need of maybe some church where,

Speaker 8: No take my dishes to the sink and stuff like that.

698
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

699
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,359
Speaker 3: Uh, Jay, let's start off with b y U basketball

700
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,160
got a little bit Uh, Cougarnation got a little bit

701
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,559
of answer. You got a little bit scared Delaware oh

702
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,279
and two coming in and UH had a nice healthy

703
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,519
lead in the first half. Cougarnation was kind of on

704
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:39,839
their heels, appalled at b yu's first half.

705
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,519
Speaker 1: What happened in this game in the first.

706
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:47,119
Speaker 9: Half, Yeah, that was that was rather shocking. This is

707
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,720
a team that on Friday lost to a Division two team,

708
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:51,920
Wilmington University.

709
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 8: So yeah, it was. It was a shocker.

710
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 9: It was a combination of a lot of things. They first,

711
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,440
they made some unbelievable shots. It banked into three pointers

712
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:05,519
from the top of the key. They were but you know,

713
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:07,559
give them credit. They came to play, and they were

714
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:11,160
not intimidated, and and and they looked good.

715
00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:14,319
Speaker 8: Kevin Young in the post game said that credited them.

716
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:15,920
He said they had a good game plan.

717
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 9: He said they basically slowed it down and kind of

718
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,599
played like Air Force used to do back in the

719
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,319
day and then just took a three pointer kind of

720
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,640
at the end of the shot clock.

721
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 8: And then they played zone.

722
00:31:28,839 --> 00:31:32,839
Speaker 9: The zone that kind of befuddled biu's offense for quite

723
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,799
some time. So combination of those two things, you know,

724
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,680
I think I think it was Raley that asked Kevin

725
00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:43,440
Young in the post game maybe someone else if they

726
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,839
were looking past Delaware or two towards Yukon on Saturday.

727
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,039
Speaker 8: And Kevin Young gave a one word answer and it

728
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:52,240
was maybe.

729
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 9: So I thought that was pretty honest of him, because

730
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,920
a lot of coaches will never admit that in a

731
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,359
million years, But you know, maybe there's some truth to that,

732
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:06,079
that that they were caught looking ahead a little bit

733
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,200
and and didn't really take Delaware too seriously. And and

734
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:12,960
for you know, thirty minutes of the game, it was

735
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,039
a it was a ballgame. It was it was a

736
00:32:15,079 --> 00:32:18,519
close game, and and then by you pulled away at

737
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:18,839
the end.

738
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,839
Speaker 3: Any concerns about this BAU basketball team, it's very early, right,

739
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,960
this is a talented team and it's.

740
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:27,799
Speaker 1: A well coached, well resourced team.

741
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:31,359
Speaker 3: Is there really any concerns about this BAU basketball team

742
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,640
so early in the season, You know, I.

743
00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 9: There are a few. I you know, it's going to

744
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,319
be a good team. It's gonna be a great team.

745
00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:42,160
It's going to be probably a top four in the

746
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,839
Big twelve team.

747
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 8: Maybe some concerns. Can they can they? You know I've written.

748
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 9: Before this is Final four or bust with the amount

749
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,039
of talent they have on this team. So right now,

750
00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,119
is it looking like a Final four team? I would

751
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,519
probably say no, not yet, but I I think it

752
00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:00,960
can be.

753
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,519
Speaker 8: The talent is certainly there.

754
00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:07,519
Speaker 9: I think the loss of Nate Pickens, who's they announced

755
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:09,279
last week is going.

756
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 8: Has already had surgery and we'll be out for the year.

757
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 9: That's a little bit troubling because Rob Wright played thirty

758
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,160
seven minutes last night at point guard, and beyond him,

759
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,359
they don't really have another true point guard on the roster.

760
00:33:25,279 --> 00:33:28,400
Dawson Baker can play it a little bit, obviously, AJ

761
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,039
and Richie can play.

762
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:33,079
Speaker 8: Some it can handle the ball, but that could be

763
00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:34,680
troubling down the road.

764
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,759
Speaker 9: And then another big thing is the three point shooting

765
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,880
has not been great.

766
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:41,359
Speaker 8: Richie picked it up in the second half last night

767
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,039
and was phenomenal. I think it was six of eight

768
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:45,720
from three. But they've got to.

769
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 9: Be able to hit three pointers. That's the way college

770
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,319
basketball is going right now. And aj and Rob Wright

771
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,200
and Dawson and some of these other guys, everybody not

772
00:33:57,319 --> 00:33:59,960
named Keva Kata probably needs to be able to hit

773
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:04,720
three pointers through you know, through three games. Tyler Morass,

774
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:07,039
the guy they brought in from Idaho to hit threes,

775
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:11,440
has not really done done so so Kevin Young said

776
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,039
last night that they're still waiting. They're giving him plenty

777
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:16,079
of chances, and they're kind of still waiting for him

778
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:17,599
to show what he can do.

779
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 8: So, yeah, there are some concerns.

780
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 9: The perimeter defense was a little suspect last night, as

781
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,920
you know, as Delaware was casting off and making a

782
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,480
lot of three pointers on him. So, but I'm not

783
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,360
overly concerned. I think, you know, you just look at

784
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,000
this roster and this talent, and you know, right now,

785
00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:44,159
they look like they have as much talent as anybody

786
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:47,480
in the country. So I think better days there are ahead.

787
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:49,960
And I think Kevin Young and his staff will get

788
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,519
it together and they'll and they'll.

789
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 8: Uh, they'll be peaking at the right time, let's put

790
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,400
it that way.

791
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 3: A controversial thing happened recently for some b Why you

792
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,679
and some just college basketball fans. G League players are

793
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:11,719
getting signed BYU. Just got a commitment from Abdullah Ahmed

794
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,039
out of the Knicks organization in the G League. Former

795
00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:19,599
G League center Abdullah Ahmed committee to BYU yesterday.

796
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,599
Speaker 1: Twenty two year old.

797
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 3: He has been cleared to play by the NCAA, though

798
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,559
his official eligibility clock is still being finalized. He's expected

799
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:31,119
to have at least two seasons of eligibility, with a

800
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,039
chance at a third. Akhmed is expected role at BA

801
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:37,800
for the second semester and set out the remainder of

802
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,320
the season. He will officially shoot up for the Cougars

803
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,480
the start of the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven season.

804
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,599
Six foot ten big man from Egypt. He's also played

805
00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:50,440
the last two seasons with the Westchester Knicks, the G

806
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:54,400
League affiliate of the New York Yet New York Knicks,

807
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,159
the same G League affiliate that Jimmer Fernet I think

808
00:35:57,199 --> 00:35:59,880
averaged twenty one point one points for when he was

809
00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:03,519
the G League. But give me your reaction to this news. Obviously,

810
00:36:03,559 --> 00:36:07,199
Aucument's a good player, uh. He went straight from high

811
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,719
school into the G League. Four points, five point five

812
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,840
rebounds and eight point eighteen point three minutes per contest

813
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,000
is what he averaged. I believe this last season. What's

814
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:19,960
your reaction to this news. Do you like it? Do

815
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,159
you love it? Do you hate it? Do you want

816
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,400
to see maybe some sort of you know, by law

817
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,199
passed limiting overseas professional players and G League players from

818
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,719
playing college basketball.

819
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,639
Speaker 1: What do you got for me? Jay?

820
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,079
Speaker 9: You know when I first heard that this could happen,

821
00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:42,000
I guess it was in October and BYU was one

822
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:44,599
of the finalists, and it was a It was a

823
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:47,320
topic of conversation at the Big twelve basketball meetings and

824
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:49,480
a lot of coaches were.

825
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,079
Speaker 8: Kind of saying, ah, this is crazy the Saint right.

826
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,639
Speaker 9: Including Calvin Sampson, who unbeknownst to him at the time,

827
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,599
was actually in the top four for this for this

828
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:02,800
guy's services, and here he was. Kevin Sampson was kind

829
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,920
of mildly criticizing the fact that this could happen. So

830
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,480
there's a disconnect there somewhere. But I was probably against it.

831
00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:13,480
I thought that's not a very good idea until I

832
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,679
heard Kevin Young at that most same meetings.

833
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 8: Basically say that, hey, this has been going on in

834
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,320
European League basketball for a long time. These guys are

835
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,280
being paid over there.

836
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 9: They're considered pros, including Yegor Demon and many many others.

837
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,519
The kid that started for Illinois last year, I think

838
00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:37,960
it was, and so, you know, hey, it's the same

839
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:40,039
Kevin was saying, it's the same thing as long as

840
00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:43,199
they're not on a two way NBA contractor as long

841
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,480
as they haven't played in the NBA yet. The g

842
00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:52,480
League is pretty much equivalent to European the European pro leagues.

843
00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:57,000
So when I heard that explanation, I guess I was, Okay, Yeah,

844
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,119
you know, what's good for the Goose is good for

845
00:37:59,159 --> 00:38:03,159
the Gander, and you know, if that's an equivalency kind

846
00:38:03,159 --> 00:38:06,119
of thing, then yeah, I'm all for it. I think

847
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:09,400
there's been some blowback in the last yesterday and today

848
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,079
because it's b YU, because they're kind of the newcomer

849
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:17,360
to this whole spending spree that's going on in all

850
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,039
college sports, but specifically football and basketball. I think of

851
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:24,679
a blue blood like Duke or North Carolina had done it,

852
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,320
I don't think there would have been that much of

853
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,840
a national outcry or anything. I would, you know, I

854
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,280
think people just say, yeah, the rich get richer.

855
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 8: But I think because.

856
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 9: It's b YU, I think it's raised some eyebrows, especially

857
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,280
on the hills of the AJ debonsa you know signing

858
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,320
and what BYU d I u's collectives basically paid to

859
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,719
get AJ to provo. So yeah, I add that all

860
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,400
up and I'm not against it, but I can see

861
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,960
where it is causing some consternation out there among a

862
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,599
lot of people.

863
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:02,639
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I think there's there's lenty that don't like

864
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,280
either the LDS Church or BYU for that matter, as

865
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,960
an extension of it, that are going to say, hey,

866
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,639
wait a second, this is becoming a professional endeavor, you know,

867
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,880
pay for play. I mean, we've been hearing this now

868
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,320
for a long time since the Nile era, and I've

869
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,400
found it interesting. I don't know if you saw the

870
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:27,440
podcast with President and Profit of the Church of Jesus

871
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,719
Christ the Letters, It's down A. Jokes and Elder Holland,

872
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:36,639
two former BYU presidents discussing BYU's mission, it's impact and

873
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,400
even getting into athletics and commenting on athletics.

874
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,639
Speaker 1: I think down H. Jokes called it the Lord's University.

875
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: There was a lot of Utah fans punching air you know,

876
00:39:48,159 --> 00:39:50,679
at that point, they were not happy, Like, wait a second,

877
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,920
he's calling it the Lord's University.

878
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me.

879
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,679
Speaker 3: And he's talking athletics and how it's making a positive impact.

880
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,039
Speaker 1: This is crazy.

881
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:02,039
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't like kid UH and I

882
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,320
find it interesting that the board of trustees may be

883
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:09,360
may be really backing this with the intent of making

884
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,199
a positive impact in the communities that the athletic Department

885
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,159
is competing in right wherever they go. Humanitarian efforts, service

886
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:25,760
projects are associated with it, highlighting and promoting the the

887
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,360
the athletes of that institution, their stories via by U TV.

888
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,480
Except like, all of these things are making a positive impact,

889
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:33,719
and I.

890
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: Think it's all kind of collected into this, you know,

891
00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:40,320
into this.

892
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 3: Controversial topic for many people that don't like BYU or

893
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,599
don't like the LBS church and they they don't like it.

894
00:40:48,639 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: They just don't like it one bit.

895
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, b YU and THEYU athletics has always been

896
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,320
a lightning lot of sorts. It's you know, you don't

897
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,639
find a lot of people that are ambivalent towards b

898
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,119
YU either you know, in Utah or pretty much among.

899
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 8: Any of the schools that compete against b YU.

900
00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 9: People either love them or they hate them, and it's

901
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,000
just it's a polarizing place.

902
00:41:18,599 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 8: For whatever reason. And like many of those that you

903
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,119
just outlined bed.

904
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 9: So yeah, I just, uh, you know, you're just gonna

905
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:30,400
I think, like this uh signing of a G League player,

906
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:33,000
it's it's just.

907
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 8: Gonna further kind of put you know, put more into

908
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,920
that divide, as it were.

909
00:41:41,039 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 9: And I just think, you know, people are going to

910
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,199
continue to choose sides. And and you know, credit BYU for,

911
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,199
like you said, having all these outreach programs that are

912
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,280
that are trying to go out into communities and trying

913
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,960
to say that hey, it's not all about athletics, it's

914
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,119
not all about you know, trying to dominate on the

915
00:41:59,159 --> 00:42:00,400
courts and fields of play.

916
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 8: That it's like this deal that.

917
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,199
Speaker 9: They did at Iowa State with the rate or collecting

918
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,440
shoes for children. It's sort of a payback for two

919
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:14,400
hundred years ago, how what it was when when a

920
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,920
kind isle and donated shoes to the handcart companies that

921
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,519
were you know, crossing the planes. So uh yeah, it's uh,

922
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:27,159
it's a very interesting topic and I don't.

923
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,679
Speaker 8: Think it's gonna change anytime soon.

924
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 9: BYU is just a polarizing place and and it always

925
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,800
has been, and I think it always will continue to.

926
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: Be, no doubt about it.

927
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:41,039
Speaker 3: J Drew here on the UH on your Utah, ESPN

928
00:42:41,199 --> 00:42:45,119
Radio Network, ESPN the Fan, talking in a cougar beat,

929
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,679
and it's brought to you by Bresa Cleaning Services.

930
00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: Bresa Cleaning Services is.

931
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,039
Speaker 3: Where you go for all your best UH residential and

932
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:54,519
commercial cleaning services.

933
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,639
Speaker 1: Jay, let's pivot over to football for a moment.

934
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 3: The College Football Playoff Committee dubbed BYU the twelfth best team.

935
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,239
They were sitting pretty in their prior slot. They drop

936
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,880
essentially six spots after losing to arguably a top five

937
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,800
team on the road. Was that deserving? You know, why

938
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,639
is it that b where you dropped so far? And

939
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,199
wanted to get your reaction to it.

940
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a very good question, Ben. I I thought.

941
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 9: What would fair in my head as I was, you know,

942
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:35,800
leaving the game and also over the weekend, was that

943
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,880
they should drop to maybe ten, nine or ten. So

944
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:42,880
twelve was mildly surprising to me.

945
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,519
Speaker 8: I think the UH.

946
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 9: I think part of it is how they lost Texas Tech.

947
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,599
Speaker 8: You know, did kick five field goals.

948
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:57,159
Speaker 9: You know, they turned three of those field goals into touchdowns.

949
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,079
Speaker 8: And you know, it's an even bigger margin of defeat for.

950
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:03,199
Speaker 9: BYU and and by you just struggled, and there's a

951
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,079
lot of byballs are on that game. Obviously, I haven't

952
00:44:06,119 --> 00:44:10,639
seen the ratings come out yet, but there were you know,

953
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,559
it was the game of the week pretty.

954
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,119
Speaker 8: Much, and the Cougars, you know, I don't want to

955
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:18,320
be too rough on him, they laid an egg they.

956
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,199
Speaker 9: I mean, I know, Texas Tech is a great defense,

957
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,519
probably the best college defense that I've seen in my

958
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,480
you know, eighteen years of covering covering college football at

959
00:44:28,559 --> 00:44:31,280
least as one of the you know, BYU or Utah

960
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,360
playing against that defense.

961
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 8: Live, watching it live.

962
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,679
Speaker 9: So you know, I just think all that kind of

963
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,440
coupled with the fact that the Big twelve doesn't quite

964
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,599
get the respect that a lot of the other the

965
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,000
well that the SEC and Big ten gets. So yeah,

966
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:53,280
add all that up, and I think that's why they

967
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,599
probably tumbled to twelve.

968
00:44:56,199 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 8: And I think there was a little bit of I

969
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:58,760
don't know if you want.

970
00:44:58,599 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 9: To call it predictive that the committee says they don't

971
00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:05,840
kind of base anything on like predictives or whatever, but you.

972
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 8: Know, I think human nature, they.

973
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 9: Probably looked ahead and they probably said, you know, BYUS

974
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,760
might not you know, beat has to play at Cincinnati

975
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,079
and that could you know, that loss could make him

976
00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:19,199
even drop even further.

977
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 8: So you know that's another factor that might have played

978
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,199
into it. But to answer your question, Ben, yes, I was.

979
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,199
Speaker 9: I was surprised that they dropped as far as they

980
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:31,039
did from I think it was from seven to twelve.

981
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:35,119
Speaker 8: So yeah, that was that was mildly unfair.

982
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 9: But I can kind of see why the committee did it,

983
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,360
if that makes sense.

984
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,639
Speaker 3: They didn't They didn't showcase well offensively, and everybody was

985
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:47,719
watching right, so from a public relations standpoint, wasn't good

986
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,559
for BYU because they really didn't show any sort of

987
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:54,800
offensive firepower. They didn't score till late in the fourth quarter,

988
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,920
and so not not a good deal. The only way

989
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,719
they can maybe right the ship is get on a

990
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,960
neutral field and maybe beat up on a or rather

991
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,320
get on a neutral field and compete better or or

992
00:46:09,639 --> 00:46:13,400
or at least you know, just keep it close versus

993
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,480
Texas Tech and the Big twelve championship game. If they

994
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,480
are a two loss team, say they do let's say

995
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:21,239
ideally they get to the Big Twelve Championship Game and

996
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,039
they lose a second time to Texas Tech, but it's closer.

997
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,360
Do you think they get into the playoff?

998
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 8: Boy, that's a tough question to answer.

999
00:46:32,119 --> 00:46:35,119
Speaker 9: I think it depends on some of the other how

1000
00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:38,360
some of the other teams, probably Texas and Oklahoma, some

1001
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,559
of the other se team see teams do and if

1002
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:42,800
they have three losses.

1003
00:46:44,039 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 8: But I'm gonna I'm gonna maybe it's Pollyanna Pollyanna.

1004
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 9: Ish of me, but I'm gonna say, yeah, I think

1005
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,119
I think if YU only has two losses and both

1006
00:46:57,159 --> 00:46:59,400
are the Texas Tech and they get to the Big

1007
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,280
twelve champions.

1008
00:47:00,159 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 8: Game, yeah, I'm gonna say yes.

1009
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 9: I'm gonna say I think they I think the committee

1010
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,719
finds a way to get BYU into the playoff.

1011
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:08,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1012
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,599
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna take eye test into it in

1013
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:14,159
the in the second go round. If it's not a

1014
00:47:14,199 --> 00:47:18,800
competitive game, if it doesn't look better than what was

1015
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,599
what we all witnessed in Lubbock, if it's same similar

1016
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,119
three score margin, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four points,

1017
00:47:27,199 --> 00:47:30,800
twenty point victory, I think they may I test BYU

1018
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,199
out right. Well, they're not gonna they can't make a run.

1019
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,840
They're gonna eye test them out even though yeah, they've

1020
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,440
only lost attack. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel.

1021
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,199
Look at where where Notre Dame's at right now. They're

1022
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,960
eye testing Notre Dame into and in front of BYU,

1023
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,400
despite strength of records, strength of schedule, you know, less

1024
00:47:50,639 --> 00:47:56,000
less losses into to a top five team, and so

1025
00:47:56,159 --> 00:48:00,639
they're already eye testing Notre Dame into the college football playoff.

1026
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,559
Speaker 8: Yeah. Absolutely, that's a good point.

1027
00:48:03,599 --> 00:48:06,079
Speaker 9: And I should have probably put that cavey out when

1028
00:48:06,079 --> 00:48:09,440
I said, yes, I think they're gonna two losses, you know,

1029
00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:13,280
backing up, I should have said yes, if they are competitive,

1030
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,199
if they are if it's like say a one score game,

1031
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,559
or if they you know, penetrate that Texas Tech defense

1032
00:48:20,639 --> 00:48:23,679
and show that you know, they they indeed can move

1033
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,079
the ball and that they can make it to the

1034
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,360
you know, close going into the fourth quarter sort of thing.

1035
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,559
Speaker 2: Jare Mesterer to know, Like even if they, let's say

1036
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:37,440
that Texas Tech wins the game like thirty one to fourteen,

1037
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:41,559
I'm looking at the teams in front, like Alabama's gonna

1038
00:48:41,559 --> 00:48:47,559
play you know, Oklahoma, Georgia's gonna play Texas. If they

1039
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:50,679
lose in BAU beats TCU, you know they're gonna move

1040
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,159
up obviously to ten. I just don't think the team's

1041
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,559
behind you can jump them above. But even if they

1042
00:48:55,559 --> 00:48:59,400
were lose by two scores, but they made it decently competitive,

1043
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,519
do you still believe that they would have a team

1044
00:49:02,639 --> 00:49:04,679
like Miami who might not meet the title game, or

1045
00:49:04,679 --> 00:49:08,760
Georgia Tech or USC jump BYU that late, because like

1046
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,840
they said, they don't punish you for losing the conference championship.

1047
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,159
But I just don't see how these two or maybe

1048
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:17,199
even three lost teams for the SEC ACC or Big

1049
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:18,760
ten can jump BYU that late.

1050
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's also a good point, Ronnie. I think, uh,

1051
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,960
you know, we'd have to go back to last year.

1052
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,559
Speaker 9: Didn't that happen last year where SMU wasn't punished for

1053
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,039
losing a conference championship?

1054
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 6: No they weren't. They lost the Clemson they still made

1055
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,400
it to twelve, the last.

1056
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 9: Team in Yeah, So so the president is there for that?

1057
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,079
So uh yeah, it's that age old question is how

1058
00:49:44,159 --> 00:49:49,159
much do they take into you know, consideration the conference

1059
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,480
championship games or is that just is that another data

1060
00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:55,079
point or is that a you know, tripled kind of

1061
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:58,880
data point uh when they're when they're going over these resumes.

1062
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:04,000
So yeah, it's really fascinating and interesting to see how

1063
00:50:04,039 --> 00:50:07,960
it all plays out. But yeah, you know, I think

1064
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,280
BYU fans would really have a good a good.

1065
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:13,119
Speaker 8: Beef with the.

1066
00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 9: Committee if if, like you said, they were leap frogged,

1067
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,800
even though they didn't lose until the championship game.

1068
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 3: Jay, You're right for the days er I is, what

1069
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,760
have you been writing about? What are you going to

1070
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,559
be dropping on your timeline this week?

1071
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just I did a kind of a lengthy

1072
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,519
thing after the basketball game last night about just kind

1073
00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:34,960
of what we've learned about the BAU basketball team through

1074
00:50:35,039 --> 00:50:38,000
two exhibitions and three non conference games kind of leading

1075
00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:41,079
up to the Yukon game. So that's online now, and

1076
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:43,639
then I'm working on something on how bad Doc Meyer

1077
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:48,320
will respond. He probably people probably saw me ask those

1078
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,920
questions in the Colonial press conference Monday and then again yesterday, So.

1079
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 8: That's what I'm working on today. And then I'm going

1080
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,239
to try.

1081
00:50:56,119 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 9: To do a little bit of history of TCU b

1082
00:50:58,679 --> 00:51:02,639
y U, specifically t to use old visits to Provo

1083
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,199
in the Mountain West days and how heated those games

1084
00:51:05,199 --> 00:51:07,679
were and kind of look kind of a look back

1085
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,800
at those leading up to the game on Saturday.

1086
00:51:11,599 --> 00:51:16,159
Speaker 3: Love that breakdown, Jay, Any other concerns, anything that stood

1087
00:51:16,159 --> 00:51:19,199
out to you from earlier this week, media availability or

1088
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,920
the coordinator's corner from the b WAYU football side of things.

1089
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it'll be interesting. I just think by you,

1090
00:51:30,199 --> 00:51:32,159
you know, they gotta get Moa back.

1091
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 9: I don't know, I've read some places where he probably

1092
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,639
won't be back, but they've just got to find another

1093
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,199
weapon out of the backfield.

1094
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 8: I guess that would be the big thing that only

1095
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:48,559
Moa injury is the number one injury really.

1096
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 9: That has should be concerning I guess for BYU fans

1097
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,800
for this whole season. I know Jojo Phillips was out

1098
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,360
and vater Dominus out over a little bit, but this,

1099
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,400
this Moa injury is his absence is really well, it

1100
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,559
was really felled against Texas Tech, and I think moving

1101
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:07,719
forward it's going to be failed even more. I just

1102
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,079
you know, you'd like to see Joe Vesa the Mooney,

1103
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,320
or Enichnawahini or Preston Rex just one of those guys

1104
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,519
just step up, because I just don't think they can

1105
00:52:17,199 --> 00:52:20,880
run there as much as they are and run LJ

1106
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,719
as much as they are with him being a little

1107
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,880
bit dinged up, so that would be kind of be

1108
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,599
my maybe concern over this BYU football team moving forward.

1109
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 3: Love the breakdown, Appreciate you hopping on Jay for a
