Speaker 2: They have lost eight out of their last twelve.

19
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,079

20

maybe have a bit more sense of urgency, uh at

the day.

53
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: Man, how are things with you?

54
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 7: Well, we had some snow flurries here, so it come March.

55
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,840
We get tired of that stuff. But you guys, you

56
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,639
still snow on the ground there or what.

57
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: We need your snow? Bring it over here. Man, We're

58
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,879
in a high desert right now. We need more moisture.

59
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,599
You guys took it all the East coast took all

60
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,319
of these snow. It seems like this year.

61
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, well there was a bundle here.

62
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:27,719
Speaker 6: I was out.

63
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 7: They had the two games swing in Arizona, so my

64
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:33,919
wife actually came with me, and I couldn't get home

65
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:36,800
because of the snow here. And I got absolutely no

66
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,879
sympathy because I'm in Arizona it's eighty degrees. But I

67
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:42,000
told him, I said, I'm not smart enough to make

68
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,080
this up that the planes are not getting out to

69
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:45,759
Phoenix and I can't get home.

70
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 6: So it wasn't that.

71
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, there's good and bad to it all,

72
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,639
but I'm glad you're doing well. And give us a

73
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,639
little breakdown. Who is this Cincinnati basketball team this year?

74
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,879
What's their identity? What are their mantras? Was the culture?

75
00:02:59,879 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 8: Like?

76
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: Right now? How have they fared thus far the season?

77
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 7: Well, they're on an upswing. They've won five of their

78
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,120
last six. But you know there was a time when

79
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,759
they were one hunder five hundred. They lost to West Virginia.

80
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,080
They lost both games to West Virginia. And you guys

81
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,599
know plenty about the Mountaineers now and they give people

82
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,759
fits and hope coliseums. So there's nothing new there. But

83
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,879
the last game Cincinnati had one of the starters out

84
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,120
still was winning by fourteen against the Mountaineers managed to lose,

85
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:32,159
and they have dropped a lot of games that were

86
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,199
very winnable, And you know, West Miller was apologizing to

87
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,840
the radio audience, to the guys in the media room,

88
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120
there was some kid had a camera on him. He

89
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,680
turns around and approaches him, and that kind of seemed

90
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,879
like the bottom. But since then, you've got five wins

91
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,479
out of your last six and then two to play,

92
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:54,240
and just like BYU is wanting to win to enhance

93
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,599
their resume. Cincinnati just wants to have a resume, and

94
00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:00,639
they pretty much have to win these next two, I

95
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:03,000
would think, and then maybe get one in Kansas City

96
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:06,840
and the tournament to get off the bubble or wherever

97
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:07,719
anyone thinks.

98
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: I think they're the.

99
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 7: Next four out right now. So if it involves out,

100
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:15,520
that means you're not in.

101
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:16,759
Speaker 5: So you got to do some work.

102
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 6: Man four.

103
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,399
Speaker 3: They've won four to their last five games were like

104
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:25,439
five out of the last six games. They're on a

105
00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:28,639
bit of a tear right now. The only laws was

106
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,879
to Texas Tech. Texas Tech playing well despite losing one

107
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,839
of their best players, JT Topping. So what has changed

108
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,120
since that West Virginia lost? How have they been able

109
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,120
to get back on track?

110
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 7: And it seems like they've been able to throw it

111
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:45,480
in the post a little bit better and they've gotten

112
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,360
more production from those guys. Boba Miller pretty much averages

113
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:52,240
a double double, but the Mestapha Chalmers really come on.

114
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:55,680
Last three games, he's had over twenty points. The last

115
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,279
game he had a career hide in rebounds with fifteen

116
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,600
and he's shooting little bit from the outside too, so

117
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,199
that's kind of opened some things up. He was very

118
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,160
good against Kansas, they both were, and if those two

119
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:10,360
guys are on that helps. When they've been held, you know,

120
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:12,879
in single digits, it doesn't work out so well. So

121
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920
they've played well and then they've started to hit some threes.

122
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,199
They made twelve against Kansas at foug Allen and fourteen

123
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,399
the other day against Oklahoma State, and I think they

124
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,040
had sixteen against Kansas State. Now they've not shot like

125
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680
that with regularity. There's been games where they've only made

126
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,879
three or four. But things seem to be coming together.

127
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,519
They've had injuries like everyone else has injuries, and you know,

128
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,959
obviously you guys have Ritchie Saunders out and that's a

129
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,480
huge factor there. But they've just never played with the

130
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,399
roster that they thought they were going to have at

131
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:48,920
the beginning of the year. It's always been somebody's been

132
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,399
out for one reason or another. And there's a guy

133
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:53,879
sitting out with a medical redshirt right now or trying

134
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,920
to get a medical red shirt. That would only help them,

135
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,839
but this is the way college basketball is at this point.

136
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,959
They don't want to waste the year, and by putting

137
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,560
him in right now because he's a grad student trying

138
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,800
to get another year, so he would help him. But

139
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,279
basketball is a totally different game. Sometimes there's not so

140
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,879
much team, it's more individual, and that's unfortunate sometimes.

141
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,759
Speaker 3: Yep, it's a crazy basketball world we're living in. The

142
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,680
Big twelve is pretty crazy right now. BYU started hot,

143
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,439
they're in the drags right now, trying to find a

144
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:34,079
way to win. Cincinnati on the upswing. Even UCF, I

145
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:35,839
feel like they're on the up swing. They were kind

146
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,279
of in you know, they were not predicted, projected to

147
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:40,759
be one of the best teams in the Big twelve.

148
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,319
Speaker 2: How would you describe the Big Twelve thus far this season?

149
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:48,959
Speaker 7: Jakol and Hyde, You just don't know. I mean, Utah

150
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,519
gave you guys a decent game. Utah came here and

151
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,560
play the Bearcats tough. They had to squeak that one out.

152
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,079
And Utah's at the bottom of the Big Twelve right now.

153
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,720
They can turn around beat anyone. So it's just that, well,

154
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,600
you can't, you can't take a day off. Someone will

155
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,800
get you. UCF, as you mentioned that they want out there.

156
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,120
I watched some of that game and that was that

157
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:16,279
score was a bit of a surprise to me. Iowa

158
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,319
States good, but then Iowa State has lost a few

159
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,399
here and there. Texas Tech looks still really good without.

160
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: J T topping.

161
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 7: I mean, they had guys knocking down threes, and their

162
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,680
their home court is big, just like your home court

163
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,480
is normally big. And it's it's really tough to get

164
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,600
a road win in the Big Twelve, and really tough

165
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,639
to get any win in the Big Twelve. You can't

166
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,279
just take anyone for granted. You know, the Cincinnati used

167
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,680
to be in the American Athletic Conference, and you know

168
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,720
there'd be a couple of days, you know, maybe you

169
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:48,879
could get a day off with a Southern miss or

170
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,079
in East Carolina, and I hope did not make those

171
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,240
fans mad. Those are very nice cities to it to

172
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:56,720
go to. But you know what I'm saying, it's just

173
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:00,639
not the same. It's it's a power conference, Big twelve

174
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:02,879
and best league in basketball in my vote.

175
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a fantastic conference, no doubt about it.

176
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:12,199
Let's get a little scattering report on Cincinnati as they

177
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,079
prepare for BYU. What are what would you say are

178
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,639
their strengths and weaknesses right now?

179
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:22,439
Speaker 7: Well, the sturne of the two big men right now,

180
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Boba Miller and messed off at Chaman. Miller's nearly seven

181
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,560
feet tall but used to be a point guard way

182
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,120
back when before he grew so they can let him

183
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,360
bring the ball up the floor sometimes. Thomas has really

184
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:37,840
come on offensively. And the two guards dayda A Thomas

185
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
and GIZZL James are really you are only two guys

186
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,720
back from last year's team, so they've had experience with BYU,

187
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,679
and I think I think Gizzl James hit six threes

188
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,200
against BYU in the last game here at Fifth Third Arena,

189
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,799
which as I recall, I think BYU maybe had a

190
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,039
three point lead at the half, and then the Bearcats

191
00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:00,480
had a big second half. But obviously in provo that

192
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:04,600
game was all Cougars. That was a difficult one, but

193
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,080
good for your guys. Jalen Celestine, the other guy that's

194
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,600
coming to the starting lineup is a veteran played at Baylor,

195
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,879
so he played a little bit right there that you

196
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,440
have and he's been pretty consistent knocking down threes. So

197
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:23,000
and the other thing here lately, they've kind of gone

198
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,039
to a shorter.

199
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: Mix of guys.

200
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:29,919
Speaker 7: Earlier in the season, you know, Wes Miller would play ten, eleven, guys,

201
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,240
and it's been about eight recently. Sean and I have

202
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,279
just came back the last game, so that made it nine.

203
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,679
He's a McDonald's All American that was starting earlier in

204
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,240
the year, but he's a freshman and just you know,

205
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,559
once they got to the Big Twelve schedule, they had

206
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,679
to make some adjustments.

207
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,399
Speaker 5: And so that group that I.

208
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:55,759
Speaker 7: Mentioned, those five, James, Thomas, Celestine, Miller and Sean, that's

209
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,399
been the starting five and they've had a pretty good

210
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,440
run for the most part, other than the Texas Tech game,

211
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,879
when Texas Tech beats a lot of people. But I

212
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,159
will say that they started that game like they're going

213
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,279
to run away. It was I think they had a

214
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:11,799
thirteen point lead or something like that fairly early.

215
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 5: I was there.

216
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,639
Speaker 7: I should know exactly, but sometimes my numbers get confused.

217
00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:20,679
But Texas Tech came back on them, and you know, again,

218
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,720
tough to play at the United Supermarkets Arena or Marriott

219
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,399
Center or wherever we're at in the Big Twelve. It

220
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:29,679
can be dangerous, no.

221
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,159
Speaker 2: Doubt about it.

222
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,399
Speaker 3: What are the coaches players, I don't know if you've

223
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,360
had any media availability, what are they saying about this

224
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:39,200
BAU basketball team? Right now they've lost, as I mentioned,

225
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,639
eight out of the last twelve. They've they've shown some highs, right,

226
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:47,679
ioway staying, they've showed some low lows as well. Definitely

227
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,840
a second half team that gets behind early in the

228
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:52,080
first half. What are the coaches and players saying about

229
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,399
BYU in preparation for tomorrow night's game.

230
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:58,279
Speaker 7: Well, we haven't had the availability since the last game.

231
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,759
But I watched that Iowa State game. I thought that

232
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,600
was a huge win and then UCF. That surprised me

233
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,440
a little bit because but UCF is better than people think.

234
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,720
In West Virginia is a tough place to play in

235
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,840
Hope Coliseum. They've gotten the Bearcats twice this year, and

236
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,159
those are two that you see, would would have loved

237
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:21,440
to have back on their resume. Otherwise they wouldn't be

238
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,039
squirming to get a win here on Tuesday. But yeah,

239
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,720
I mean, obviously when you look at dyu of you know,

240
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:31,440
right and de Bonca, those two guys everaging what forty

241
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,799
three combined, and you have to stop them. So I

242
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,080
think for Cincinnata have any chance at all, they're going

243
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,799
to have to try to keep those guys under thirty combined, maybe,

244
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,519
and even that's not a given.

245
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:48,039
Speaker 5: So yeah, they.

246
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,279
Speaker 7: Switched the tip to nine o'clock, so that'll make it interesting.

247
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,799
Way back when in the Bob Huggins area, they used

248
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,000
to do doubleheaders and then ESPN would do the nine

249
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,279
to thirty games Eastern and so people here were complaining

250
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240
initially it's like wow, nine o'clock, that's late, and it's like, well,

251
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,039
they used.

252
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,919
Speaker 5: To do these all the time.

253
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,399
Speaker 7: And most college students, I know, they're not opposed to

254
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,759
staying up late and coming out, So it should be

255
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:17,919
a festive atmosphere. I don't know if it'll sell out.

256
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240
They've not had a sellout yet this year, but as

257
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,440
I recall, it was a pretty good crowd last year

258
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,720
in the twelve, So a little bit over twelve thousand

259
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,759
is a sellout here. So they've had decent crowds, just

260
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,600
not complete sellouts.

261
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:38,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what's the environment like there? Typically even when

262
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,679
it's not sold out, what's the the you know, capacity

263
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,840
and how full is it has it been thus far

264
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:48,360
this season?

265
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 7: Well, Twelvey twelve is the capacity. Since the remodeled the

266
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,960
building a handful of years ago, most games have been

267
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:01,519
close to ten upper nines. I always state I think

268
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,440
was a little bit over eleven, and some of them

269
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,320
in the tens and all that. So you have Zaber

270
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,840
University nearby that their their placeholds about ten thousand and

271
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:14,879
some nights they're playing on the same nights, and that

272
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:17,919
that school's you know, four or five miles away from Cincinnati,

273
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:22,159
So you have some competing college of basketball going on.

274
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,840
But yeah, when when Cincinnati has been really good in

275
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:29,480
their heydays, you know, those were mainly sell out, some

276
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360
pretty loud. But you know when when your team's winning,

277
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:35,559
it's you kind of get spoiled and you're used to

278
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,759
winning and you come in and everyone's constantially noisy. This year,

279
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:41,639
it's kind of been back and forth. I mean there's

280
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,360
been games where west Miller's been booed. They quit announcing

281
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,679
his name when they announced the starting lineups. Now, after

282
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,159
this recent little patch here, you know, I would assume

283
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:57,240
Tuesday night will be pretty crazy because everyone, everyone, I think,

284
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,879
realizes that Cincinnati really really needs to win to even

285
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:03,759
have a shot at the NCAA Tournament, and it's an

286
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:04,320
long shot.

287
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 3: Right now, tell me your thoughts on the Big Twelve

288
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,200
Player of the Year. Who are your candidates right now?

289
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,480
Who's your favorite right now? Would you say to become

290
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,720
the uh, the the best player, the Big Twelve Player

291
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,960
of the year for the Big Twelve.

292
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: Well, there's some good ones.

293
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 7: And I saw fran Frescilla put something out about the J. T.

294
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,960
Toppins should still be considered. Uh, I mean your guy

295
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:34,039
has to be considered, it seems I you know, I

296
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,039
vote every week, so he's he's either Newcomer of the

297
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,679
Week or Big Twelve Player of the Week most weeks.

298
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:41,919
Speaker 6: Uh.

299
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,159
Speaker 7: And that's pretty awesome for a freshman. And the caliber

300
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,480
refreshmen we're seeing in this league is crazy with AJA

301
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,399
and then the Kingston Flemings at Houston, so some some

302
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,679
really really good players. Uh, he's big fol play. I

303
00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:02,039
don't know. I I'm torn between Devons and Topping and

304
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,679
I'm probably leaving someone out.

305
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: I don't know. They're tough.

306
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 6: PJ.

307
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,679
Speaker 3: Haggerty, Kansas State. I mean, he's one of the top

308
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,279
scorers in in the Big Twelve. You can tours maybe

309
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,879
Christian Anderson there at Tech.

310
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 7: He's been it was really impressive against Cincinnati at thirty

311
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,000
one points and eleven rebounds.

312
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: At six'.

313
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 7: Three, haggarty you, know the team has not done well with,

314
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:35,360
him so that would maybe take me away from voting for.

315
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: Him.

316
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 7: Obviously arizona's got you, Know BARRY'S i think his player

317
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,679
of The week this. WEEK i think it just came

318
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,799
out right BEFORE i was talking to. You you, know

319
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:49,559
they've got good, guys and that's.

320
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: A tough place to, play just like The Marriott.

321
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 7: Center to, me and Again i'm not being saying this

322
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:56,720
Because i'm on the phone with you, GUYS i Think

323
00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:59,720
Marriott center is the toughest atmosphere personally i've been to

324
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:02,559
IF i were a, team because there's just so many.

325
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,399
Speaker 5: People, uh and.

326
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 7: That's even counting you, Know, Kansas kansas is pretty. Crazy arizona.

327
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,679
Was that was a neat. Atmosphere Texas tech was blowing

328
00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:19,720
off like smoke bombs and stuff during the free, throw

329
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,759
so that that WAS i didn't even know that was,

330
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:27,279
allowed but you, know signage and stuff like. That that

331
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,360
should be fair. Game but you shouldn't be blown off

332
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:33,080
smoke during a free. Throw But i'm not trivy to

Speaker 3: Yeah the student section is always a little bit more.

357
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:44,559
Edgy they're will understanding to do things that the general,

358
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:46,799
population general fan base is not willing to.

359
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: Do.

360
00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:49,000

00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,880
just you, know ignorance is what it. Is so, uh

362
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,880

366
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:06,240
game sometimes and he hear and see, stuff and you're,

367
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,279
going what's the point in? That you, know why not

368
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,519

369
00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:14,680
find out what the best player's girlfriend's name is or

370
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,799
something like, that and you, know that's not insulting so,

371
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,759
much that's just doing your, homework but just being derogatory

372
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,279
for the sake of doing. It and then it's peer.

373
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,240
Pressure one idiot does, it the next one does, it

374
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:32,519
and then that's what you run. Into SO i hope

375
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:37,680
to not hear any of. THAT i, mean you're gonna hear, cheers, booze,

376
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,720
whatever but hopefully none of.

377
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,279
Speaker 2: That you have no doubt about. It give me your.

378
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: Prognostication how do you think this game plays? Out bay Versus.

379
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,279
CINCINNATI i don't know If i've seen a line. Yet

380
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:51,880
it looks, like let me take a gander it this

381
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:56,920
year for, BASKETBALL i would be surprised IF byu is

382
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,680
a favorite in this.

383
00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 7: Game the only Thing i've seen is like THE Espn,

384
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:09,359
indicator THE i think they all. Right they gave B

385
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,359
yu like a fifty four percent chance to, win So

386
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:15,519
i've not seen odds. Yet i'm not a, gambler SO

387
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,279
i haven't really looked for. Them but that's the one

388
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:23,319
THING i have seen, obviously B. Yu they rarely lose

389
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:24,720
three in a. ROW i know you had a streak

390
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,440
where you lost four there at one, point but you

391
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,039
know they need the. Win cincinnati needs to win Because

392
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:36,000
cincinnati is at home and desperately needs the. Win i'm

393
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,240
going to give them the edge by a little. BIT

394
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:41,400
i figure it to be. CLOSE i can't imagine them

395
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,640
coming out and PUTTING byu away life they Did Oklahoma.

396
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,039
Speaker 2: State, yes, Indeed, yeah you're.

397
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: RIGHT Espn analytics slightly FAVORING byu in this, game giving

398
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,319
them a fifty six percent chance of. Victory and but

00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,039
Speaker 10: Months would you describe maybe the chemistry of the, Offense you,

498
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,359
know Bears, BAG i Know LG's, recovering but a lot

499
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,839
of the key guys are coming. Back just maybe the

500
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,440
chemistry of this offensive unit day.

501
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 9: One, YEAH i think you gotta build, chemistry especially as

502
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,039
an offensive.

503
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 4: Line you got to learn how to work with some.

504
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,839
Speaker 9: Guys we've got some injuries up, front some new, faces

505
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:29,559
so we're just all learning to play with each. Other

506
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:33,119
but it's comfortable Having baar. Back you, know he's kind

507
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,319
of the voice of the. Offense he commands. It so

508
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,000
it's always nice having another voice back back there that

509
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,759
you've heard. Before, yeah so it's awesome having bare. Back

510
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:44,839
we're gonna get the chemistry. DOWN i, mean we don't

511
00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:47,480
play a game Till. August we fall camp right, now

512
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:49,119
we're trying to see what we. Got, well guys are

513
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,000
good at what kind of schemes we can run early,

514
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,559
on and then we'll really hone in on that chemistry

515
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:56,799
and fall once we know our, guys know our five,

516
00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,480
guys know our, offense and, yeah hit the ground.

517
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: Running bring up that voice Of.

518
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 10: BEAR i think back to you, Know, august he was

519
00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:06,359
so quietly with. Us you, speak as a player who's

520
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,640
been in the huddles with, him just how he's evolved

521
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,519
with that voice and how he's grown as a leader

522
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:10,680
of this.

523
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,279
Speaker 9: Program, no it was so awesome to See bear grow

524
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:16,400
from last. Year you, know early in the season you

525
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,519
could hear him back there ASKING lj what to do

526
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,720
in some, situations which maybe.

527
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 4: Isn't what you.

528
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 9: Like is a is an offensive lineman your quarterback not

529
00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:25,640
always knowing what they're. Doing but by the time we

530
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,599
Had Georgia, tech he was in full control of. It

531
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,240
he knew what he was, doing he knew the, checks

532
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,279
he knew the kills and coming out here and you,

533
00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:34,640
know everybody's a little, rusty but he didn't skip a

534
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,519
beat and being the voice in the huddle making sure

535
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:37,720
everybody's lined, up.

536
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:40,599
Speaker 4: So he's he's learned a lot of the.

537
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 9: Offense he's definitely a captain for us out, there a

538
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:45,319
leader for, us and he's so poised as a young.

539
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,000
Guy Sometimes i'd get riled up out, there WHETHER i

540
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:50,759
couldn't hear the clap and we were in a loud,

541
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,559
environment and sometimes he was that calm voice for.

542
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 4: Us he would never tell us how he really, was

543
00:25:57,319 --> 00:26:00,400
what did he go through from what you, saw and how.

544
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,279
Speaker 9: Tough is No bear's tough as. NOILS i often say

545
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,440
he's the toughest guy on this. Team there's no quit in.

546
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:08,640
Him you can tell he was just raised right tough,

547
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,319
kid and that's one of his, greatest you know. Features

548
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:14,200
he might not be the most talented or the best

549
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,559
throwing quarterback out, there but he is tough as, nils

550
00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:17,559
and you know he's gonna.

551
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,599
Speaker 4: Lay it down on the line game in and game.

552
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:19,839
Speaker 8: Out.

553
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,599
Speaker 4: YEAH i don't know the significance of his injury last.

554
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 9: Year ALL i know is that he played every snap

555
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,720
he was asked to, play and he came back for

556
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:30,480
the bowl game and not a lot of guys would.

557
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:32,359
Have but that just speaks volumes to who bar is

558
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,519
and how tough he actually.

559
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,839
Speaker 3: Is only two losses last Year Texas tech the Heralded

560
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,599
Texas tech.

561
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: Line, yeah what did you guys as.

562
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 3: A group on that offense line learn about yourselves and

563
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:44,359
how do you how to, improve how to get.

564
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: Better how to match?

565
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: That and then individually what did you?

566
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 9: Learn, YEAH i think there's a lot to learn as

567
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,640
a very good defensive. Line you, know you're watching some

568
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,559
of those guys' combine numbers.

569
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,079
Speaker 4: And they were as.

570
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,599
Speaker 9: Advertised, yeah they were really, good you, know BUT i

571
00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:01,519
felt like a lot of it was we were beating

572
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:02,960
ourselves as an offensive.

573
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 4: Line that's a. Lot excuse, me that's something you.

574
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,839
Speaker 9: Know before we came out, Here Coach woods talked a

575
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:11,759
lot about is just our emphasis as an offensive line

576
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:16,279
is to not beat, ourselves not make mistakes within the,

577
00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:20,240
system make sure we're blocking all the, guys blocking the correct, guys.

578
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 4: And you, KNOW i think we can do, that will

579
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,599
be in good.

580
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 9: Shape we got a lot of talent and like it's

581
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,720
been mentioned with these three incoming, guys, like, yeah we

582
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,839
were pretty deep on the offensive, LINE i, believe and

583
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,440
guys are only going to get better as we move

584
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,279
towards The. August so there's a lot to learn from,

585
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:38,279
it a lot to take, away BUT i think the

586
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:41,119
overall theme is, that you, know the only team that

587
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,079
can beat us is, Us so we just got to

588
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,200
fix those small mistakes and move.

589
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 10: Forward for a veteran like, yourself where are you looking

590
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,079
to improve in these fifteen spring?

591
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,799
Speaker 9: Practices, yeah there's a lot of places you can. Improves

592
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,240
it's awesome to come into spring ball like this because you,

593
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,279
JUST i, mean you get really good.

594
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:00,079
Speaker 4: Coaching there's no game plan going on.

595
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,319
Speaker 9: On you're watching every single rep of every single, practice

596
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,119
even the young. Guys you, know there's there's plenty of

597
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,920
technique STUFF i can work, on you. Know me being

598
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,880
able to command the offensive line is always something at

599
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,960
center you got to get better.

600
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 4: At and then just knowing.

601
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 9: Defenses learning, defenses it's a it's an awesome situation to

602
00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:21,920
be able to play our defense because they run so much.

603
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,279
Stuff so by the time we get the, season it's

604
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:27,440
like we've almost seen every single, defense which is a

605
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,279
benefit to us and it helps me out just learning

606
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:32,759
where we got to get our guys to the best,

607
00:28:32,759 --> 00:28:37,920
protections flipping protections on zone schemes and. Whatnot so there's

608
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,480
there's a LOT i can work, on you, know but

609
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:43,440
a lot this spring will be on, technique you, know

610
00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:45,759
just trying to hone in on on some, things.

611
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: Whether that's the foot, placement hand, placement playing with better.

612
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 9: Bend so, no spring ball is an awesome time to

613
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,400
get better looking forward to. It when Hear new bragging

614
00:28:54,440 --> 00:29:00,680
a bell as he's obviously you see a lot yeah challenges, like,

615
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:01,559
yeah let's see this.

616
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: IMPROVEMENT i Love.

617
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 9: New it's it's awesome working with. Him we push each

618
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,920
other to be. BETTER i feel like he's a big

619
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,079
reason WHY i was able to have so much success last.

620
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:11,680
Year is BECAUSE i felt LIKE i was going against

621
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,359
one of the BEST d tackles in the country all

622
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,559
year and then you, know you get to fall and

623
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:21,000
everybody's about the same as. New but, NO i love

624
00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:23,079
compete with, him love working in the weight room with.

625
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,359
Him he's a better guy off the field than he

626
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,599
is on the. Field but it definitely pushes, me you,

627
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:31,039
know isn't we get in that weight room you want

628
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:34,160

Speaker 2: That who were some of the.

632
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,079
Speaker 3: Young kids maybe that didn't get the patch last, year

633
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:45,319
that had good off seasons they could maybe step up

634
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:46,160
into a larger role this.

635
00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 9: Year, YEAH i think it's early to, tell you, know

636
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,599

can we go back to track and field?

671
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: SEASON i, know, Man, uh it's, uh it's, hard, man

672
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,319
because we know that this team can be. Good we

673
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,400
know that This boe basketball team has been. Good it

674
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:38,039
just doesn't look like they want to be.

675
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: GOOD. JT i don't know if they really want.

676
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: It there's there's a lack of, effort AND i think

677
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,680
that's why bau fans are getting a little, bit uh

678
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,640
frustrated with this. Team it's the, effort not necessarily anything.

679
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,359
Speaker 8: Else, yeah and you know, what, Man like here's the

680
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,119
name there are there are losses and.

681
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:04,119
Speaker 12: Losses and you can understand this because you know as

682
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,079
someone who walked on and had to earn. Things you, know,

683
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:11,440
like my biggest issue with this team right now is

684
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,680
how they're losing. Games it's not that they're losing games.

685
00:32:15,359 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 6: Because they have all of the.

686
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,359
Speaker 8: Perfect excuses of why they're losing. Games they don't Have Richie,

687
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:24,680
saunders who was supposed.

688
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:25,039
Speaker 6: To be the face of the.

689
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 8: Program they don't Have Nate, dickens who's supposed to be

690
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,160
the backup point guard and play fifteen plus minutes a.

691
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,960
Game they don't Have Dawson, baker.

692
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 6: Who was supposed to be the six men for this.

693
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,119
Speaker 8: Team and play fifteen to twenty minutes a. Game SO

694
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,039
i get all of, THAT i get all. That i'm

695
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:46,759
not even considering you know What Brody kraslowski could have

696
00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:51,400
potentially given this, team What Xavion stanton could potentially give this,

697
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,839
team although they had to go and GET i, Know

698
00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:00,720
Abdullah ahmed Because xavian just wasn't delivering, Right so they

699
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:04,920
have all of the perfect. Excuses my biggest issue.

700
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: Is where is the?

701
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:11,279
Speaker 8: Pride And i'm not even talking about REPRESENTING yu forget about

702
00:33:11,279 --> 00:33:14,599
that for a, second, Right it's not even The, hey

703
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,839
you got to represent the program and you KNOW buyu

704
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:20,359
and blah blah. Blah where is the pride of being

705
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:26,079
able to SAY i was given an, OPPORTUNITY i am

706
00:33:26,119 --> 00:33:28,279
doing the best of WHAT i can with the, opportunity

707
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,559
SO i can earn a lot of nil money in

708
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:36,720
the portal AND i can potentially earn a really big contract.

709
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,599
Speaker 6: In europe or a long shot in a summer. League

710
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:42,680
that to me is. Baffling Because.

711
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 8: Aj And rob have been tasked with doing the impossible

712
00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:51,640
and score seventy percent of the team's points by, themselves

713
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,640
and because that's just WHAT yu needs right.

714
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,279
Speaker 6: Now but the other.

715
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,799
Speaker 8: Three players not doing everything that they can and to

716
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,640
then bring glory to themselves above anything.

717
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,079
Speaker 6: Else forget About yu for a.

718
00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:11,159
Speaker 8: Minute that is baffling to me to see five guys

719
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,039
standing in the last possession shot of The West virginia

720
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:17,679
game that if they grab a rebound they give themselves

721
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,559
a chance to tie the.

722
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:20,559
Speaker 6: Game that was crazy to.

723
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,559
Speaker 8: Me AND i think that that is the microcosm of

724
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,760
the only THING i will Blame Kevin. Young Kevin young

725
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:36,079
is how much is he holding the guys accountable behind the.

726
00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:38,239
Scenes that is the only THING i will say that

727
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,119
is not super positive About kevin because everything else.

728
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,159
Speaker 6: Then you were a. PLAYER i was a.

729
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:47,639
Speaker 8: Player can you imagine the amount of attention this team

730
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,920
is getting being given the opportunity to play twenty minutes a.

731
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 6: Game what would you have? Done? Ben when you're a

732
00:34:54,519 --> 00:34:55,880
walk on and.

733
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,079
Speaker 8: Someone, Said Ben, critto you're now the guy that's going

734
00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:01,280
to step in and you're going to really.

735
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 6: Show us what you can. Do what would you HAVE

736
00:35:03,159 --> 00:35:05,280

737
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,360

738
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 8: Done but please tell all of your listeners now that

739
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,039
the tens of thousands that are with us right, now

740
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,760
what would you have done?

741
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: THEN i MEAN i would have been jumping for, JOY

742
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:17,920

Speaker 2: All those, things.

746
00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 3: RIGHT i, MEAN i think WHAT i described it last

747
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,639
week is just the lack of. Gratitude when you don't

748
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:35,800
put effort, forth you're just not grateful to be. There you,

749
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,119
know you don't have any sort of like gratitude for,

750
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,239
life for the ability to compete and.

751
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: Play that's WHAT i see WHEN i see lack of.

752
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,840
Effort and to, me it's.

753
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 8: Difficult it is extremely difficult to just not completely and

754
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:01,239
orderly lose my crap because like you, know KNOW i you,

755
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,599

00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:06,440
of other contracts of being, media you.

757

Speaker 6: Know exposed to the. Public it is difficult to stay, Positive.

758
00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 8: Like why can't you just play? Hard why are you

759
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000
not diving for loose? Balls why are you not?

760
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 6: Hustling why are you not fighting for a fifty to fifty.

761
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,199
Speaker 8: Ball why is the other team always getting it to

762
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,239
me that, fight that, effort not having that Been.

763
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 6: It's it's pretty to.

764
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 8: ME i don't want to say, embarrassing Because i'm not,

765
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,920
embarrassed but it's pretty sad to see right a program

766
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,760
a university that you, know there were you, know blood

767
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,840
sweat and tears dropped and fought and it's you, know

768
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:44,679
AND i.

769
00:36:44,599 --> 00:36:48,559
Speaker 6: Will say, this you, KNOW i blame to, me the

770
00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:52,199
biggest corporates are the. Players Kevin young.

771
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 8: Is that LIKE i, Said the only thing IS i

772
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,880
WISH i could know how much he's holding them accountable

773
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,679
on the, back behind the. Scenes but to, Me, ben

774
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:02,159
this is all by product of the system we're, in

775
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,800
of the nil of the lack of. Continuation which that's

776
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,880
Not buyu's, Fault Kevin young's fall.

777
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,159
Speaker 6: Or the player's. Fault that's just the truth of the.

778
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 8: Matter is players enter the portal and they will trade

779
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,920
the teams every year they are chasing a, bag which

780
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:21,599
you can blame them because this is life altering money

781
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:24,760
for a lot of, them but it's it's it's a

782
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,719
it's an interesting dynamic to.

783
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 6: Know where we are and, uh you, know not all of.

784
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 8: The players will own up THE byu, mantra you know

785
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,119
prop TO, Aj LIKE aj didn't have to do like

786
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,679
a third of what he's doing SHOWING byu. Love but

787
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,960
you know what he is doing with THE Aj foundation

788
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:51,679
and everything he's, doing even if somebody, says, oh that's

789
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,920
just for, optics he didn't even have to do. That but,

790
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:58,559
like you, KNOW i just wish the level of commitment

791
00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:02,239
of every player, was you, know for us to be

792
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,519
able to, say you know what they're, losing but these

793
00:38:04,559 --> 00:38:07,000
guys are playing. Hard we're not even seeing that right.

794
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 3: Now, YEAH i think the effort is is what's so.

795
00:38:11,519 --> 00:38:16,960
Frustrating and AND byu, fans they're losing their, patients right

796
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,679
and they're losing. Hope what's the expectation right now for

797
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,639
THIS bau basketball. Team how many more games can they

798
00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:28,039
actually win when they're playing in this form and?

799
00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 8: Fashion, well you, KNOW i THINK i think there's different

800
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,320
ways that you can tackle this, right as you there's

801
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,719
different ways that you can you can peel the onion,

802
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,519
right and so you, know it's to, ME i think it's,

803
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:47,880
missing you, know just the intensity on. Defense, offensively the

804
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,039
ball is just not moving very well and so you,

805
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:54,199
know there are different things that you can point out To.

806
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,039
Ben but you know how many Times ben Would bronco

807
00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:58,840
come to you guys and, say, guys as long as

808
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,000
we play, hard we're gonna win this.

809
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 6: Game like you know WHAT i.

810
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:02,639
Speaker 8: Mean like that.

811
00:39:02,639 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 6: Happens to us all the.

812
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 8: Time Dave rose would, say as long as we play,

813
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,719
hard we're gonna win this.

814
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 6: Game AND i get it's The big.

815
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,079
Speaker 8: Twelve we've never seen any of. This the level of

816
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:18,159
basketball we're seeing is. Crazy but you know, AGAIN i

817
00:39:18,199 --> 00:39:20,360
have a hard time thinking that IF uyu plays a

818
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,559
little bit, harder.

819
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 6: They win A West.

820
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 8: Virginia if they play a little bit, harder they probably

821
00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:27,840
give themselves a chance to win At Oklahoma.

822
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 6: State if they play.

823
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 8: A little bit, harder they don't get beaten by you know,

824
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,880
Which let's be realistic. Here you, know losing by thirteen BY,

825
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,039
ucf that game was over as soon as the second half,

826
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:43,960
started and so you, know to, me it all comes

827
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,760
out to effort and all of the, others you, know.

828
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,039
Strategies at this, point you got to throw them out the.

829
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:56,119
Speaker 3: Window jonathan De bnard talking TO Byu basketball here on

830
00:39:56,159 --> 00:39:59,960
Your UTAH esbn radio. NETWORK i think that the individ

831
00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:02,199
tool that people are perplexed.

832
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:05,079
Speaker 2: By right? Now is Rob right the THIRD i.

833
00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: Think if you're gonna but Even, keba, Right keba looks

834
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,440
a little bit, LIKE i don't, know just not as.

835
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,320
Engaged now that could be injury, related but just not

836
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:21,079
as high. Intensity and it kind of rubs off on everybody,

837
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:24,039
else like who are the energizer, buddies who's supposed to?

838
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: Lead who are the?

839
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,679
Speaker 3: Leaders maybe that's the biggest issue right. Now there's not

840
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:33,840
true leadership on this, roster and therefore the lackadaisical efforts

841
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,599
are being showcased game, in game, out and there's a

842
00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:38,800
lack of consistency of.

843
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:47,039
Speaker 8: Execution, yeah WHAT i will, Say ben, is you know

844
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,239
a lot of people are disappointed With robert. RIGHT i

845
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,400
think he's going through a, slump you know WHAT i,

846
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,480
MEAN i think more than any.

847
00:40:55,519 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 6: Gang What i'm disappointed the.

848
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 8: Most, is you, Know mahilo had a incredible showing Against Iowa,

849
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,679
State like incredible.

850
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 6: Showing, well why haven't we seen Them ahilo all? Season?

851
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:11,280
Like you, know is it the fact that a broken

852
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,239
clock is right twice a? Day you?

853
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 8: Know With Kostitch coastitch came TO byu was such amount

854
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,360
of hype you know about shooting and. Scoring we just haven't.

855
00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 6: Seen, that you, Know i'm an, Abdullah i'm at it.

856
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 8: Coming from THE G league like he was playing against

857
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,280
pros day in and day, out what, like you, know

858
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,199
and now he's playing against college, Kids like where's the?

859
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:41,199
Speaker 6: Upside and you, know like we can go on and, on, Right.

860
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:46,199
Speaker 8: Cornard davis being. Inconsistent my main thing With cornard IS

861
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,960
i wish we could see the level of engagement because

862
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,679
when he is, ENGAGED i think he's very very, good

863
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,559
very very very very very, good, Right.

864
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,519
Speaker 6: And you know that's my.

865
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:06,599
Speaker 8: Thing and then you, Know HADEM i think a dem

866
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:08,719
is doing the best he can as just a true.

867
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,199
Speaker 6: Freshman.

868
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 8: Right but again to your, POINT i think it goes

869
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:18,239
Beyond Robert. Wright although to be, fair Rubber right has

870
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,800
not had a really good game since you, KNOW i

871
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,039
don't know if it Was baylor or the game After

872
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,119
baylor that he almost had a forty.

873
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:27,199
Speaker 6: Piece but you, know like.

874
00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:31,159
Speaker 8: It has been now about two weeks or longer That

875
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:34,880
robert has had a massive, game a massive impactful. Game

876
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,400
and SO i think there's a lot of question marks

877
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,639
about this. Team someone put it on social, Media Oh

878
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,480
this reminds me that ukon twenty ten to twenty, eleven you,

879
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,239
know the gym or year Where Kimba walker just went

880
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,760
on a, tear and that could potentially, happen. RIGHT i

881
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,760
think at this point it's can we just get through

882
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,920
this week and next week and just get to THE Ncaa.

883
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:02,519
Speaker 6: Tournament Because i'll tell you, This, Ben.

884
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 8: IF buyu doesn't win tomorrow In cincinnati and they they,

885
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:15,480
don't they don't Win saturday Against Texas, TECH byu may

886
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,920
be a ten or an eleven, seed and that becomes very.

887
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,880
Interesting is this seem capable of going on a running

888
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,480
one hundred percent aj is one of one best playing college,

889
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:31,000
Basketball but to climb that mountain just became, really really.

890
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 6: Harder and so you, KNOW.

891
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 8: I think that we're all just hoping to just get

892
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,760
through these next couple of, games get through The big Twelve,

893
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,519
tournament and you, know let's get to THE Ncaa, tournament

894
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,039
which is what really.

895
00:43:43,079 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: Matters got to get to THE NC Doublea, tournament no.

896
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:47,199
Speaker 6: DOUBT.

897
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,079
Speaker 2: Jt do you think they win a game.

898
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 3: Anywhere along the end of the, season regular, Season big Twelve,

899
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,159
TOURNAMENT Nc Double tournament or do you think they lose.

900
00:43:55,159 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 8: Out you, KNOW i wish you hadn't neph Me dad oh,

Speaker 6: One in, One they're gonna split the last two.

905
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:22,519
Speaker 8: GAMES i think that then they're gonna win one game

906
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,840
in The big twelve, tournament just, one and THEN i think.

907
00:44:26,639 --> 00:44:30,239

koogs and thanks for having me.

929
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 3: Been, yeah you wonder if the only saving grace of

930
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,079
the season would be If Aj debonta Gets Big Twelve

931
00:45:46,119 --> 00:45:49,400
player of The year because of any number of issues

932
00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:51,960
injuries that have occurred in The Big, twelve it would

933
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,760
that be the saving grace for the season If aj

934
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,159
gets The Big Twelve player of The.

935
00:45:55,239 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 8: Year SO i think that he's going to. GET i

936
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,360
think he will Get freshmen of The. YEAR i don't

937
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,039
know About player of The. Year but he leaves the

938
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:09,400
he leaves the country, scoring so it's hard for you

939
00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:13,599
not To and so you, KNOW i think there are silver, lines,

940
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,320
right you, know silver linings here that you can look,

941
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,159
at and so you, know you take what you get

942
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,239
at this point because again five injuries to you, know

943
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,000
season ending, injuries three of them are rotation. Players and

944
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:29,519
so you, KNOW i think we're just hoping for the

945
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:32,119
best right, now and, uh you know kind of LIKE

946
00:46:32,559 --> 00:46:35,119
i can't, look is it gonna go? Bad just hoping

947
00:46:35,159 --> 00:46:39,000
for the, best and so you, know it's, uh the

948
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,840
