and Joe Douglas. That's a nice safety room. I appreciate that.

134
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,079
I like nicknames. See, look, if you're gonna get a nickname,

135
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,480
you can't give it to yourself. It must be given

136
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,959
to you, must be given to your right. Ronald the

137
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,319
three man Weaver bing Crodo gave me that. It's used.

138
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,000
It's popular, people picked up on it, people like it.

139
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,839
I like it too. That's why I go buy it.

140
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,240
That's why I use it. You can't give yourself the

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,920
nickname ap you know, that's what it is. And really

142
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:46,000
his Twitter name. Want to call him a petty because

143
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,720
he's gonna be petty to you Utah fans today. He's

144
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:53,199
gonna get you on Twitter watch and this is very true,

145
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:55,759
this is one hundred percent. He's gonna get you. That's

146
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:58,639
why I say a petty. You can't call yourself that though.

147
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:00,480
People have to give that to you. It has to

148
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,959
be annointed unto you. Hopefully people don't think it'd being sacrilegious,

149
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:04,600
but it has to be given and bestowed upon you.

150
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:06,600
I'm being serious when I say that the top king

151
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,759
was given to him. You can't give yourself the nickname

152
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,040
people called me Tray and the hood that is because

153
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,879
I was a third Ronald Weaver. My dad was junior

154
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,439
and my grandpa was senior, has to be given. Like

155
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:20,560
being given the nickname the mongoose, you know, the crittle stick.

156
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360
That has to be given. So hope you out there

157
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,439
understand the nicknames that are given. So just why we

158
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:28,759
That's why we say A j D's bonzas just kidding.

159
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:30,759
That's not gonna be a nickname. Got him, That's just kidding.

160
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:32,600
That's not gonna be a nickname. Guys, I'm completely joking.

161
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:35,279
Someone's gonna clip that in Senata texts Ben and I'm

162
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:37,839
gonna get in trouble. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking.

163
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:40,720
I'm joking. Anyway, appreciate ap showing up and showing out.

00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,360
be the guy? It could it could be Bay Committee.

168
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,959
I would love nothing more today than to see Canar Kaba,

169
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:59,879
Beato Hadim and my and me highlight Buckovich. We have

170
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,399
on the show as well on Thursday. If you missed

171
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:05,120
that interview, you can download on the podcast. I would

172
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,839
love to see those guys play today and look anytime basketball. Look,

173
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:13,120
there are those of you out there that watch the NBA.

174
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:15,079
There are those out there like a bo fans around.

175
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:16,920
I hate the NBA. Stop talking about it. I don't

176
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:18,399
care if there are those out there that are listening

177
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:20,519
that do I have to touch. I have to hit

178
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,639
on every person and everybody listening in right now. The

179
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,040
point that I'm trying to make is if you've watched

180
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,600
NBA basketball, even if you watch yegor at some point

181
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,559
in time, when playoff basketball happens, you see when the

182
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:35,399
role players, the guys on the bench, when do they

183
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,080
play well ap you know this. They play well where

184
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,240
at the crib, they play well at home at home.

185
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:43,799
We're gonna get into it in our next segment. From

186
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,399
Kevin Young and maybe some score predictions. But did you

187
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,320
see that Houston, Texas Tech game where you're entertained? The

188
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,600
Big Twelve is something else. I tell you, it's really

189
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,639
really nice, and I enjoy I truly and I thoroughly

190
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,320
enjoy watching Big Twelve basketball because you don't get an

191
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,600
opportunity to see the best basketball conference in America. It

192
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:07,960
was a ninety to eighty six win for the Red Raiders.

193
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720
They beat BYU. Now they beat Houston even though Houston

194
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,799
got it earlier in the season at their crib. That

195
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,320
Sha'll let you guys know, as fans BYU is in

196
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,480
a good spot, very good spot. This game was thoroughly entertaining.

197
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Kingston Fleming, my goodness, is gonna be a first round pick,

198
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:25,600
dropped forty two fifteen of twenty six from the field,

199
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:27,600
four of nine from the three, eight of ten from

200
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,120
the charity stripe in thirty eight minutes. He did have

201
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,519
like he did have four fouls, But this entire game

202
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,600
was physical if you watched it, no doubt about it.

203
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:41,320
But guys play better at home at well, he's gonna

204
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,240
starting line up, not knowing really always for a score,

205
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,320
but he dropped eighteen. He was five of eight from

206
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,399
the field. He hit all and all of those are threes.

207
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,879
He hit five of eight threes. Jalen Petty he was

208
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,039
five of eight, he was four six. They shot forty

209
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,759
one percent from three twelve to twenty nine JZ toappoz five.

210
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,159
Lets you know that he is he can get lucky

211
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,480
against BYU. Those bank threes don't work all the time,

212
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:04,080
do they now, Brother Haa. Nonetheless, he's still a good player.

213
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,159
You dropped thirty one twelve to twenty, but that's what

214
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:09,639
I mean. Like Lawan Wats was pretty much held scoreless

215
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,799
from the field. He had three free throws. He was

216
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:13,480
zero of eight, but that's what I mean. And then

217
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,200
the bench guys mostly gave him six. He hit those

218
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,240
two threes, and that's what I'm getting at. We need

219
00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:20,679
to see the three pointerers fall today. We're waiting to

220
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,840
see them come. Mahilo's have moments, He's had up and downs.

221
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,080
Has been like a rollercross for Shaky, But I think

222
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,360
this should be the game for him. This should be

223
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,440
the game where the minute he gets in the first

224
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,480
set should be run for him off the bench and

225
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,840
he should be pulling. You should be extremely confident. You

226
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,320
should be relaxed. You sat on this game for a

227
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,399
week and apl asking because you know the game and

228
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,440
we've talked about this and prep for this before the show.

229
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:44,159
What was the last game BYU had to sit on

230
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,600
for a week after they lost? And what happened to

231
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,600
that team?

232
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: I think Wisconsin got their lunch handed to them, already

233
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,759
eating with a hole in the bottom of their paper bag.

234
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: Yes, the lunch was stolen. They took the lunch money,

235
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,799
it was stolen from us. Were happy to be here,

236
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,799
Wisconsin was, and then you know, at the start of

237
00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:06,679
the season they worked. Sorry, that's taking them shots at

238
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,679
a certain athletic director up north. It's it's the rivalry game.

239
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,399
So I have to I have to make sure I

240
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,879
mix it in the poking and the pettiness wherever I can.

241
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,320
It's all jokes, So I could. I could, Honestly, I

242
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,679
don't care, but I just have to for this radio

243
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,639
network to do that. But no, ill and look, if

244
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,080
I get Mark Carlin and tweet at me, I am

245
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,480
doing something right. That's a victory. That's a victory. If

246
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,159
I get the athletic director, someone eclipses or posters or

247
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,360
screen re courses and sends this to him and he

248
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,559
DMS me and does that. That is bad for him,

249
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,840
because I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do. You

250
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,679
want to talk about petty. Oh, I've had my run

251
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,480
ins with certain people and with youth athletics. I will

252
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:49,200
screenshot that and I will put that on Twitter. So

253
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:51,960
don't try me. Today's not the day to try me. Oh,

254
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,799
Today's not the day. I got a good night sleep,

255
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,519
we didn't have anything early. I got to play with

256
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,919
my daughter. Like if you really want to try roun

257
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,759
up the three man Weaver, Saturday, January twenty four to

258
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:06,759
two forty two pm, trust me, brother, you're gonna get

259
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,399
all that Chicago energy anyway, which way about it, I'll

260
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,360
promise you so please make my day. It won't happen, though,

261
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:15,320
but I'm just kidding. Uh. Anyway, getting back to the

262
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,080
top of your hand stand on business playing at home,

263
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,759
I want to see Mohilo just go off. I would

264
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,039
love to see him just like light it up today,

265
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,080
give numbers like that. It doesn't need to be exactly

266
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,960
like Texas Tech, but I would love to see him

267
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,639
shoot somewhere between six to ten threes and make five

268
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,320
or six of them if he were able to go

269
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,240
five of eight today ap if he was able to

270
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:38,960
do that and not just mihilo.

271
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:41,759
Speaker 3: Thirty.

272
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: Look, I'm being honest. I'm not saying that Boi's gonna

273
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,960
win by thirty. I think they cover. Just to give

274
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,399
you guys some updates of the spread, I want to

275
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:51,720
give you guys what the numbers are. It opened up

276
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,399
as eighteen and a half. Right now it's nineteen and

277
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,279
a half. We're gonna get to a peace point. The

278
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,919
over unders on one sixty six and a half. Bau

279
00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:00,639
Per matchup predictors predicted to win this game ninety four

280
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,159
point three percent. They do give Utah a five point

281
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,279
seven percent chance. So Ba, you favored in this matchup,

282
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,799
heavily favorite. Like I said, game is gonna be on Fox.

283
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,080
I think this is the first game to bo he

284
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,480
plays on Fox this year and maybe in conference. Bau

285
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,440
interest the matchup sixteen to two, four and one and

286
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Big Towel player that only lost coming to Texas Tech

287
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,159
the only two losses on the season, which are both

288
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,759
Pot one losses, which both were not at the crib.

289
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:24,080
By the way, just reminds you true road environment against

290
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,799
Texas Tech and basically a true road environment. It was

291
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:30,039
a neutral It was a neutral Wisconsin in their backyard.

292
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360
What they're only seventy miles from the TD Garden out there.

293
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,799
Come on, like, stop playing. That's like the Red Raiders

294
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,759
who playing BYU in the Big Toe Championship in AT

295
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,240
and T Stadium down in Arlington. It's a home game

296
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,480
for crying out loud. Don't tell me this neutral site nonsense. Look,

297
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:49,000
Utah is nine and ten. They're not a good basketball team.

298
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Won to five. And when I say not a good

299
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,480
basketball team, I mean the metrics. I mean how they play.

300
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:55,440
I don't mean how they're coached. I do think they

301
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,120
have guys that can play. I do think Keanu Dass

302
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,200
is a good players to got rebounder. I do think

303
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:03,320
Terrence Brown is he is. He is a guy that

304
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,200
can truly truly light it up. I always keep joking

305
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,159
about this, but in ap laughs, I think he's gonna

306
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,840
look great next year in the BYU uniform. I seriously

307
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,720
mean that Brown. Yeah, I'm serious.

308
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 3: Mentioned don m returns. Brown.

309
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: Look, okay, we'll take my look. I'm not arguing now

310
00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:21,039
then anybody. We'll take both. They look, hey, there's a

311
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,440
place for everybody, and with the injuries that have occurred,

312
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:25,559
you need guard depth, you need you don't know what's

313
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:27,200
gonna happen. If Nate Pickens is gonna come back, they're

314
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,120
probably gonna wait till the end of the season. Dawson,

315
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,639
I don't know if he's gonna have another year, but

316
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:34,080
that's a big rehab. So he's not gonna be good

317
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,840
to go because he he toured what probably probably a

318
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:39,159
month ago, right, maybe I may actually a little bit

319
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:41,480
before now, two months ago, I apologize, you know, So

320
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:43,759
he's still gonna be a ways out from recovery, and

321
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:45,919
you have to think what's gonna happen. So you got

322
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,080
two guys that would be coming off potential injuries, one

323
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:51,080
earlier that was a little like right before the season,

324
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,240
one during the season. Tell you'll take both these guys

325
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,679
and both these guys can play. You don't know if

326
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,600
is Rob Right gonna go to the NBA draft? Can

327
00:14:57,639 --> 00:14:59,320
you get Rob Right to come back? That's the conversation

328
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,519
that's gonna be off season. Can you convince Rob Right

329
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:03,240
to come back for a third year? Rob Right as

330
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:05,519
the NBA player I believe next level. Now, whether he's

331
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,720
the first or second nd that depends. This draft class

332
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,799
is loaded. This is a loaded draft class. So I

333
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,320
would love to hear AP's voice of a certain someone

334
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,559
say loaded, because it's gonna sound way better than me

335
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,000
saying it. But absolutely loaded. There it is, and it is.

336
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:26,120
It is absolutely loaded. Uh, but no, this draft class

337
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,720
is nice. I brought up Fleming earlier from Houston. Aj

338
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,200
d aj De Bonsa playing today Darren Peterson most anticipated matchup.

339
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,360
If if if Darren Peterson does not play in the

340
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:40,679
game against b YU next week, can be upset. Look,

341
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:42,320
I know this is gonna sound bad, and they give

342
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,000
me your thoughts and then we'll get back to the youtak. Yeah,

343
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,519
I know I'm on a short tangent. Will you please

344
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:50,720
tell the viewers that Darren Peterson should sit out the

345
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:55,480
game today gets kans State to play the game against

346
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:59,399
BYU next Saturday, he should not play. I am in

347
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,440
favor of It's gonna soun terrible that I'm saying this

348
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:06,399
load and it is my load management in college basketball,

349
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,399
load managed, Darren. There are fans out there that agree.

350
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Now there might be fun. Some fans say, oh, don't

351
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:13,519
make it easier for BYU. To win. I pushed back,

352
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:15,720
and I say nay. I say nay to you what

353
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,600
I always say, beat the team when they got the guy. Now,

354
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:20,279
if they're in a sitting out, that means he might

355
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,799
not be healthy to play anyway next Saturday. But my

356
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:24,960
point is, you want to beat the guys when they're

357
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,519
there the most anticipated matchup. This is a great this

358
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,960
is a great hoop. Next week of hoops for BYU.

359
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:32,679
You got BYU TA today and he got Arizona BYU

360
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,639
on Monday, and you got next Saturday a week from today.

361
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:39,440
Right now, we're gonna be watching the game at this time,

362
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:41,960
BYU taking on Kansas. Man, it's gonna be it's gonna

363
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,240
be glorious. It's gonna be great. But we need to

364
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,720
not look ahead. Let me not jump. Don't want to

365
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:48,000
overlook anybody. Go back to the task at hand. This

366
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,399
Utah game. AP, you said it. You think if Mihilo

367
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,799
hits five threes there winning by thirty, like I said,

368
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,200
spreads nineteen point five. I think Bou does cover. I

369
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,080
think they do win. I don't know if it's thirty,

370
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,519
but I definitely think BOU twenty p is the uth

371
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,440
today of one.

372
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:07,039
Speaker 4: Here's my opinion on the difference between BYU and UTAH

373
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,799
right now. And I'm gonna be objective. I'm not gonna

374
00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:13,599
go my typical bash Utah. It will bash Utah, but

375
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:19,640
it will be objective. Utah has two good power for

376
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,480
players that you should worry about, right Don Mchkenry, Terrence Brown,

377
00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:26,519
everyone else.

378
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: They're good athletes. I don't know that they're good players.

379
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 4: On BYU side, you have three good NBA prospects that

380
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,720
are playing for BYU. You've got three NBA prospects versus

381
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,680
two good players. That's the difference between BYU and UTAH.

382
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,599
And I think it's gonna show up at home. BYU

383
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,960
should absolutely pound the Utes into the ground.

384
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:55,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the jokes decide to get back to be

385
00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:59,359
an objective. BYU should win this game by the by

386
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,200
the spread of what it is at home. They sat

387
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,720
on this game for a week, and I really mean

388
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:05,000
it to not have to play. I'm gonna ask it

389
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,640
in the post game and Kevin Young, what did you

390
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,359
like about the guys? What did you see from this

391
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,480
them this week having a week off, not having any

392
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:16,039
opportunity after sitting on a loss for a week. Look,

393
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:17,240
I can give you a little bit of insight. No

394
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,839
one cares that I played rugby, but I can tell

395
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,759
you normally, you know sometime in rugby you play games

396
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:23,720
every single week. But when you get a bye a

397
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,039
week in rugby, it's a great chance to recover, by

398
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:28,839
the way, But when you don't play for two weeks

399
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,599
and you lost and you have to sit on that,

400
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,599
you're so And I feel bad for your teammates because

401
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,880
no mad the off week you're tackling. You're tackling or scrimmaging.

402
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,279
Next Saturday and you're doing thought contact, but you're tackling

403
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,119
one days out of the week. I remember when we

404
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,200
lost to Saint Mary's and it wasn't bad, but it

405
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,319
was a close ball game. Everything's just done rabbled in

406
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,799
the second half the way it shouldn't have been werown

407
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:51,160
down by five at half time. How angry guys were

408
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,119
in practice that next Tuesday morning. Lighting dudes up myself

409
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,599
included getting lit up hitting other people. You're frustrating, you're

410
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,160
po so programs network for children, so I won't say

411
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,160
the word, but you're very upset. You're very frustrated. But

412
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,759
it also helps your health. So I think the combination

413
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,240
of lost of Texas Tech couldn't play back at home

414
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,200
now week off, AJ gets healthy right. He was on

415
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,440
the Coaches Show with Kevin Young talking about shoes. Looked

416
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,880
happy with Spencer Lynch and shout out to those guys.

417
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,599
They always do a good job over there. On the

418
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,240
Kevin Young Coaches Show. It looked to me as if

419
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,079
this team is calm, cooled, collected, well rested, and they're

420
00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:33,559
gonna go out there and they're gonna put it work.

421
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,319
Now we'll have to see what adjustments are made, but

422
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,920
I would I could predict, and I think that they're

423
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,279
gonna put this game away, not necessarily early, but I

424
00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:43,960
think in the second half is gonna be very clear

425
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,039
that there's a discrepancy. Very fast they are going to

426
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:50,279
So we got to take a brief time out, but

427
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:52,640
we'll be back. We're gonna give you some scoreboard updates.

428
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,559
Then we're gonna get into the Kevin Young sound. Kevin

429
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,119
Young actually addressed the media in preparation for the Utah game.

430
00:19:57,279 --> 00:20:00,519
We're gonna hear from him. Did they overlook you? Maybe?

431
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,400
I don't think they did. He was asked that question.

432
00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:05,160
The Robberie games are tough. Utah plays bau will at

433
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,519
the Hunsome Center they have I think the last five times.

434
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:10,039
That's just the way it goes in college basketball robberie games.

435
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:12,279
It's close. It's different here in by U, Utah. But

436
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,119
today it will be different. It'll be like last year.

437
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,880
We'll b a you will get a big dub. We'll

438
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,400

Number thirteen BYU is an action today opening its two

458
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,759
game homestand today Saturday, twenty fourth, as they try to

459
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:19,720
look for the season sweep against the Robbie, Utah might

460
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,400
need to look up some stats that might be the

461
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:23,920
j T era or his last time BA sweeped Utah

462
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,720
in the season series. I don't think well, and that's

463
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:29,119
really gonna have to go back to conference days. So

464
00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:31,640
tip is scheduled for three thirty pm Mountain Time at

465
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,240
the Marriott Center, as I've already said, and the broadcast

466
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:36,279
today is gonna be on Fox with Aaron Goldsmith and

467
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:39,039
Casey Jacobson on the call. But if you're driving around

468
00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:41,319
you can get the game on the radio as well.

469
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,839
It's gonna be on BAU Radio with Gregor bel and Margren,

470
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,759
who do a phenomenal job both friends of the program

471
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:48,720
as well. BYU. They spread opened up at eighteen and

472
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:50,960
a half. It's now nineteen and a half. Someone's gambling

473
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,960
down there in Vegas, because when I put this together

474
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,480
this one and it was eighteen and a half, it's

475
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:57,039
jumped up to nineteen. So someone's throwing some filthy lucre

476
00:21:57,319 --> 00:21:59,960
out there, that's no doubt about it. As well. BYU

477
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:02,759
comes into the season averaging about eighty six points six

478
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:05,960
points per game. UTA eighty two point two points against

479
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:07,599
Utah gives up eighty one. It's a lot of points.

480
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:09,400
And when you're in this conference, you give up eighty

481
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,680
one points and you score eighty. That showcases by a

482
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:14,960
nine to ten record, just gonna be honest. One in

483
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:17,759
five in conference play, BA only gives up sixty nine

484
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:20,279
points six That favors the kookas very well. That defense

485
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:22,799
has been phenomenal this season. And then both are shooting

486
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,640
above forty seven percent from the field. BA you leads

487
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,759
that shooting forty nine and BAU has rebound advantage forty

488
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:32,160
point three to thirty five, assists BYU fifteen to fourteen.

489
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,880
And then blocks of course Kiba and adding the addition

490
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,599
to Beato, which tremendously helps the Bou's blocks, they're averaging

491
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:40,480
about five blocks per game. That's BYU in eight point

492
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,000
eight steals phenomenal numbers. We'll go through maybe some injury

493
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,119
updates and who's gonna be out in the last segment.

494
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,799
After this, we'll we'll just stay with us though Momentarily,

495
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:51,079
Agy Debond's a leading this crew with twenty two point

496
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:54,359
five points. We predict a big game from AJ. I

497
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,519
don't want to I've been known to vi perbley. I

498
00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:58,440
don't want to say he's gonna do what Kingston Fleming's

499
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,960
gonna do. But I think AGA could thirty today, maybe

500
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,559
thirty five. If you were to drop forty two, that'd

501
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:05,319
be crazy. I think he can. Don't know if this

502
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,000
is the game. Remember he was in the twenties when

503
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:10,839
he played against Utah the last time he did shoot

504
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,640
eight to twenty two from the field. Then made him

505
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,480
take really tough shots. But again, when you're playing at

506
00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:16,359
home and you've seen this team on tape, they all

507
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,680
know how better to attack this team going forward. But

508
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,480
AJ nice numbers twenty two point five, six point eight boards,

509
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,480
three point six sists per game. He's the second person

510
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:26,599
on this team behind Rob Wright leading this team and

511
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:29,319
a sists. Rob is averaging five point three assists per

512
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,920
game in an AJ one point four steals. Those are

513
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,640
phenomenal numbers. Tak King right behind him with nineteen point two.

514
00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:38,720
Rob Wright there as well with seventeen point Akbaka leads

515
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,200
this team grabbing eight boards a game and then cable

516
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,799
on the offensive side of the balls. Give me a

517
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,319
seven points as well. If Kiba can give you maybe

518
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:47,680
fifteen to ten in a day, give you a little

519
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,480
bit more, maybe twelve and ten. That's going to help

520
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,880
along with I think Mihilo is showing up and showing out.

521
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,720
But I want to bring up an interesting point here

522
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,039
before we get to the Kevin Youngsu. Do you think

523
00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:02,039
that we need to see more dominic Diamonde. I pay

524
00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:04,680
attention to social media and what these guys post, and

525
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,880
I always am looking. I'm looking to see what they post,

526
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,039
how they post it, why they posted it tells you

527
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:12,359
a lot. Sometimes they give injury updates themselves on their Facebook,

528
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,559
on their Instagram. But to me, I thought, this guy,

529
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,759
you know, when he first got here, was going to

530
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,000
see a lot more time than he was because of

531
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,279
how well he's able to defend the perimeter being a

532
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:25,839
part of the United Seen France team. But we haven't

533
00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:29,079
seen him and he posts this six days ago, Xavion

534
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:33,119
Xavion Staton said in due time, Rob Wright said, fingers

535
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,400
crossed my guy. And it's been like about plet through

536
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,960
of the BA managers who I know. I'm not gonna

537
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,759
get into that, but he says, even when it doesn't

538
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
make sense right now, God has a plan and sometimes

539
00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:45,759
we all can do is all we can do is

540
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:50,119
trust his timing. Your thoughts ap. First of all, just

541
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,240
you know in general about Dominique not being in the rotation.

542
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:55,440
I know he struggles maybe a little bit from the

543
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,480
three point nine, but this is a guy I feel

544
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:00,240
like that can change the game defensively now.

545
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 4: I The post to me just sounds like someone who

546
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,519
wants to play.

547
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:07,079
Speaker 2: He wants to play. Everybody wants to play. That's why

548
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:07,839
they're in college to play.

549
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that to me, that's all. That's that that's about.

550
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:13,200
I don't know if he's necessarily unhappy. I think he

551
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:17,839
just wants to play, wants hoop. But I I like Dominique.

552
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,519
Speaker 3: I want to.

553
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:21,839
Speaker 4: See more of him when he's come in. I felt

554
00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:24,079
like he's made some really big plays. He's the guy

555
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,599
that's gonna get the steal and the breakaway slam.

556
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,319
Speaker 3: Like he's got more speed.

557
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:31,839
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's got more speed than anyone else,

558
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,440
but when I watch him, he just looks really really fast.

559
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,359
He's really good on the defensive end. He's got good eyes,

560
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,519
he can read the ball.

561
00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

562
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 4: I would like to see him take some minutes when

563
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:48,119
your team's in a slump, when I'm just gonna be

564
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,279
straight up honest, when Tyler Maruss comes in, when Alexi

565
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,119
Kostitch comes in and goes over from the floor shooting

566
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,400
threes from the corner. I want to see Dominique because

567
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,720
those guys haven't been hitting threes. Had They've both had

568
00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:06,160
one game where they popped off and we kind of went, oh, yeah,

569
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,720
here we go, and we haven't really seen it since.

570
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:11,720
I want to see what Dominique can do because I

571
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,839
think he can be a little bit like Tray Stewart

572
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,319
was last year where Tray Stewart at the beginning of

573
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,240
the year and for most of his career, did not

574
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:22,160
get minutes. He just didn't and we all thought he's

575
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,599
not that, he's not that good offensively, maybe he can't

576
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,039
do it. He came in and he was a huge

577
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,599
part of making a sweet sixteen run. He was a

578
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,599
massive part of the nine game winning streak.

579
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: He took the commandans away from Cannon.

580
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 4: Catchens, and I think that Dominique maybe could have that

581
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:39,160
kind of potential.

582
00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:43,039
Speaker 2: Who are you still in minutes from? It's so hard

583
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:45,279
to get minutes on this team. Cab Young is shortened up,

584
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:47,559
the rotation not like what it was last year, rightfully so,

585
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:50,519
but man, it is so tough to get minutes on

586
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,559
this team. I would look, I would want to play

587
00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:55,000
on this basketball team, but I would have to be

588
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,200
completely okay with my role in not playing. It's so tough. Yeah,

589
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,599
I'm serious, you laugh, but I'm serios. It'd be so

590
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,400
fun to play with this team, to watch it. They're

591
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,160
allowed to be in practice because you would get you

592
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,279
would become a better basketball player. Like I want to

593
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:09,279
make this very clear, and this is not hyperbole. I'm

594
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,359
this is what I'm sitting at, being factor right even

595
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,160
though with the guys like Dominate that is struggling, Tyler

596
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,880
might be struggling a little bit, even with Mihailo shooting

597
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,000
lesson it might look that way. If those guys went

598
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,119
to a Oklahoma State went to a Utah, they're gonna

599
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:28,160
play better it's better coaching staff, better players, better resources.

600
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,559
Right now. A lot of that is what Bayu has

601
00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:33,839
just the truth. So when a guy maybe not might

602
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:35,400
be playing well the United I see him, don't get

603
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,079
on them too much.

604
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,759
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think they're bad players.

605
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: What I mean saying people courtly bad players are bad

606
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,000
player Sometime Oh he's a bad player, not a bad player.

607
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,519
A well, he's playing bad. It's like, well, you gotta

608
00:27:44,519 --> 00:27:46,920
be careful what you say. But I think the reason

609
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,440
you might be seeing that is because of the dynamic

610
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:51,920
of just how hard it is to perform in the

611
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,240
limited roles that you get. Like we're asking guys to

612
00:27:54,279 --> 00:27:57,160
do them what mag hit the three point shot? When

613
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,119
you take it three to five times a game and

614
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,119
they go lock the other, that's tough to do well.

615
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,160
It's tough to stand rhythm.

616
00:28:02,319 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 4: It's hard to go from being one of the guys

617
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:08,440
on your smaller team, which is where most of these

618
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,640
guys transferred him from.

619
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

620
00:28:10,519 --> 00:28:13,799
Speaker 4: They went from being the guy to coming in and

621
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:16,920
you're expected to be a role player, yep, with very

622
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,279
limited some possessions of the ball is not going to

623
00:28:20,279 --> 00:28:21,480
touch your hands.

624
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,759
Speaker 3: You need to be a role player.

625
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 4: Be ready to shoot on those rare possessions that the

626
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,799
ball does touch your hands. On a team with three

627
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,799
NBA guys, that's not something that's that's not an easy

628
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:36,400
transition to make. So when I'm saying that these guys

629
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,799
have struggled, I'm not saying they're bad players, and I

630
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:42,200
don't think I'm not saying that they can't transition into

631
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,079
becoming good at their roles. I just want to see

632
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,440
what Dominique can do, because I think that he could

633
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,240
play that role.

634
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,359
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to steal Tyler's minutes. I'm looking at

635
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:54,440
the roster right now. Hadim played in seventeen games, Dominiqu's

636
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,839
played in thirteen, Tyler's played in thirty. Excuse me seventeen.

637
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:01,720
My apologies, HOWI Boop is playing fifteen minutes a game,

638
00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:04,759
Dominique's playing six point eight just round seven, Tyler's spent

639
00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:08,119
eleven minutes game and seventeen games played, and look, all

640
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:09,640
the numbers are the same. My team is gonna play

641
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,000
because of how he rebound, so you can just x

642
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:12,599
him out. But I'm giving you just to where he's

643
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:14,240
at with the forward of how big they are and

644
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,640
how Hadem can guard the three two five.

645
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,839
Speaker 3: I think I think he's gonna play a big role tonight.

646
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,359
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. He's gonna play a big role. He

647
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:23,680
I Mexican out, but I'm just giving the fans and

648
00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:25,480
just breaking it down. Yeah, he's gonna be on count

649
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,240
of downs or a j I'm just giving it that

650
00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:29,480
because of that. Look, two point six points per game.

651
00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:31,839
Dominique is two point three and then Tyler's two point three.

652
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,440
The reason why I put him in that conversation just

653
00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:36,279
FORWDS and matchups. The guy that he's probably gonna need

654
00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:38,400
to steal minutes from, he's gonna have to steal it

655
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,440
from Tyler. When I look at this, of what the

656
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,759
flip is, it's Tyler it is. Now. I know Dominique

657
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:46,880
is not the best three point shooter, but to me,

658
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:49,079
it's if Tyler gets in foul trouble or just goes

659
00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:52,079
straight cold, which happens in basketball. Everyone goes cold. Look

660
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:53,759
as de Bunce a little cold last game. That's how

661
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:56,400
it goes. Richie did in a a in a sprint,

662
00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:58,519
not overall in the game, but in a certain part

663
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:00,799
of the game when you needed it the most. That happens.

664
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,640
But the point is with these guys that are playing

665
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:05,440
roles that aren't rob right Richie and aj If you're

666
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,319
not coming to make an impact, how quick does Kevin

667
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:09,759
Young go? This is a game where Dominique, I feel

668
00:30:09,759 --> 00:30:11,279
like I can make a big impact. This is this game.

669
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,599
I believe this is the type of game you could,

670
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:15,799
you can get a big you can. I know how

671
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:17,880
Deimus put his hand up, but I feel Dominique is

672
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,680
a guy raising his hand right now. He's just not

673
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,319
being called on. So to me to that, keep keep

674
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,480
your hand up, dom keep. I think there's a big

675
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:25,960
role for him on this team. And I think if

676
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,240
Tyler's not showcasing that, Kevin Young likes defense sometimes better

677
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:30,160
than the likes offense.

678
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 4: Well, and to your point, I don't know that he

679
00:30:34,119 --> 00:30:36,839
is a bad three point shooter. He's two of twelve

680
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:40,039
on the year. He hasn't really had a lot of

681
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,000
chance to shoot good threes, agreed to be honest. So

682
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:45,880
I don't know if we've really seen what he is

683
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,400
as a three point shooter. But I tell you he's

684
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,160
a game. He's he's an energizer because when he comes

685
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,079
in and he can get that steal on defense, he

686
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,920
He's got some rimrock rocking dunks that he can throw

687
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,359
down to energize the team. And I think that's something

688
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,680
that this team needs because to your point, they go

689
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,319
on cold stretches that Texas Tech game the last five

690
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,559
or so minutes b YU went cold, and they needed

691
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:13,720
someone to energize the team.

692
00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:16,119
Speaker 3: And I think Dominique plays that. Well.

693
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. Look play Dominique, like we say,

694
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,480
I'm from Free Dominique, Free Dominique. And I'm just kidding

695
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,319
when I say that. All jokes. But we'll see, we'll

696
00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:28,559
see if dom plays. Anyway, Let's get to it. Let's

697
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:30,519
get to the sound. This is Kevin Young earlier in

698
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,440
the week addressing the media in preparation, I say earlier

699
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,799
the week yesterday, addressing the media in preparation for this

700
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,119
ba Utah game in about twenty six minutes.

701
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 5: Hey, Kevich, I just kind of want to get your

702
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,000
thoughts on what you learned from the first Utah game.

703
00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:50,200
Do you think the team maybe underestimated him a little bit?

704
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,319
I mean it was tight throughout, and what do you

705
00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:53,160
expect from.

706
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: Them this time around?

707
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,559
Speaker 6: No, I don't think we underestimate him, even I know

708
00:31:57,599 --> 00:31:58,599
the coaches said didn't.

709
00:31:58,599 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 3: I don't think the players did either.

710
00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:02,559
Speaker 6: I think they knew, you know, rivalry game on the

711
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,680
Roads is gonna be a tough game, and they played well.

712
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,400
I mean, look, they've you know, those two guards man,

713
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,839
they've been they've been torching the entire Big twelve. You

714
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,519
know that they're doing it to every team, and so,

715
00:32:11,759 --> 00:32:13,680
you know, I have a lot of respect for coach

716
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,559
Jensen and what they're trying to do there. And they

717
00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:20,000
played good. You know, they played good, and we had

718
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,799
to really gut it out. But I thought it was

719
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:23,680
good for our guys to have to be in a

720
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,000
hostile environment, come away and find a way to win.

721
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:31,079
Speaker 5: There was a lot of players first taste of the rivalry.

722
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,359
Speaker 2: Look, I want to just stop it right there, because

723
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,119
I know that's kind of been the thing AP is

724
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,480
people think that BA didn't play hard enough, and it's

725
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:42,319
that narrative driven to questions. Look, I know we have

726
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:44,240
to ask the questions of media members, but those type

727
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,799
of questions present maybe a narrative at all. You know,

728
00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:49,920
you know the buy didn't Utah played well? You heard him?

729
00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:51,559
Do I need to pull up the numbers like I

730
00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:53,480
will pull up the numbers right now, how are you

731
00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:57,039
cause in front of me, Terrence Brown and Don McHenry

732
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,519
are both combining for over forty points for this Utah team. Now,

733
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:03,799
I want to go back to you how many points

734
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,160
Utah scores. They score eighty points, so half of their

735
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,279
points that come up from those two half. You know

736
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:12,640
who's after that count of dolls. He's giving you about

737
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,920
twelve a game, So that's all your points to come for.

738
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Those two guards have towarded everybody twenty two point two

739
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,640
from Brown and eighteen point one from McHenry. So it

740
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,839
has nothing to do with underestimating those guys hit shots.

741
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,359
They played better at home. They were doing it. That

742
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,160
was the best game they played thus far. Have to

743
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,640
give them credit, you have to. And then if you

744
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,519
look at their last five games after the BAU game,

745
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:37,559
you know, yes, they had lost to Texas Tech. That

746
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,480
was gonna be a tough game. But they beat TCU

747
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:39,920
at home.

748
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:40,519
Speaker 3: They did.

749
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: They lost a tough ballgame on giving the ball to PJ.

750
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,319
Haggard who dropped thirty four on them. He had the

751
00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:48,039
last shot. So yeah, this team is Excuse me, I

752
00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:50,079
said one five, one to four, you know right now,

753
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:53,519
But just in the last five games. But look, it

754
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:55,119
doesn't matter. At the end of the day, Robert, games

755
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,240
are gonna be tough. It doesn't matter, especially when it's

756
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,440
your first one. It was early. Later this season might

757
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,519
be a different store. But to me, that game, I

758
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:03,920
think as long as it's played every year and played

759
00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:07,400
at least once up in the Huntsman and whether it's

760
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,559
early or midseason, it's always going to be a tough

761
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:13,480
game because this rivalry is different. These players get up

762
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,400
for it, and you bring your best game when you

763
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,079
want to play against your phone. That's just how it goes.

764
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,480
Happens away in baseball basketball, Tennessee see some amazing games,

765
00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:23,599
and we were entertained when bau played Utah not too

766
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:25,480
long with eighty nine to eighty four was a thriller.

767
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,440
I was hoping for overtime as a selfish fan, ap

768
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:30,320
but that was a good ball game, whether you were

769
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,599
in person or you watched it on TV.

770
00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:36,159
Speaker 3: Oh. For surely, there's a reality that.

771
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:41,039
Speaker 4: I forgot about when I made my predictions for that game.

772
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,760
It's that the Hopsman Center is a nightmare of a

773
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,800
place to play.

774
00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: When fans show up.

775
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: Facts.

776
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: The unfortunate thing for BYU is that BYU is the

777
00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:54,119
only time fans show up for that team right now,

778
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,599
which is really unfortunate because objectively speaking, they used to

779
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:01,599
have really good crowds in It used to be a rude.

780
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: If they showed up like that in every game, this

781
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,480
team might be in the top eight team in the

782
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:05,920
Big Twelve.

783
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 4: That's what I play they they would they would be

784
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,199
a lot better than they are. I'm not gonna say

785
00:35:10,199 --> 00:35:12,599
top eight, but they would be better, that's for sure.

786
00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:15,199
Speaker 2: And so.

787
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,559
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just it's always been very tough

788
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:23,199
for BYU to play in the Huntsman Center. I'm not

789
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,840
worried about how we played in that game. Now, should

790
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,239
BYU only win by five tonight, there needs to be

791
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,239
a conversation about how BYU's just squeaking by in the

792
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,840
Big Twelve. Because this is a team when they're they're

793
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,880
coming on the road, this is gonna be the most

794
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,400
hostile environment that they are going to play in all year.

795
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,800
The Marriott Center will be absolutely rocking. If that does

796
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,079
not intimidate Utah, I think it's gonna intimidate Utah.

797
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't.

798
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna play well in this environment,

799
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,119
if BYU can't win by by double digits, if they

800
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:04,480
can't win convincingly, then I think there's a real conversation

801
00:36:04,639 --> 00:36:08,239
about what's going on outside of the Big three, and

802
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:10,719
to a point where it's not nitpicking. It's a real

803
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,880
worry for me when you get into March.

804
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a real worry if this team

805
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:17,880
only wins by five today. Don't think that will happen.

806
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,719
But that's why the boys go play. It's to see

807
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,440
if if we can predict the not really predict, but

808
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,119
to see if excuse me, this team is who we

809
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:26,840
say it is, but we're gonna find out. Let's get

810
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,599
back to the sound Kevin young meat availability from yesterday obviously,

811
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,320
but did.

812
00:36:33,159 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 3: They communicate to you just the intensity.

813
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 5: Of it and what kind of atmosphere you expected tomorrow?

814
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

815
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 6: I think you look man as a competitor, man, you

816
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,360
love planning games like that where there's maybe a hint

817
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,519
of bad blood and a hint of not a hint,

818
00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:51,159
but just full intensity with the fans. So you know,

819
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,679
I know b YU fans will want to return to

820
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,599
favor and make this an amazing atmosphere. You know down

821
00:36:56,639 --> 00:36:59,400
here given what they did up there, and I know

822
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,159
our guys are looking forward to playing in that.

823
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,559
Speaker 7: Mitch Kevin the last night on your coach to show,

824
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:11,320
you know, they kind of treat this week like an

825
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,039
NBA All Star break and it's an opportunity to re

826
00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:15,239
evaluate where.

827
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:16,159
Speaker 3: Things are with your team.

828
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 7: Was there any points of emphasis with you and the

829
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,719
coaching staff that you really want to do address.

830
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 2: With your team?

831
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we just looked at some stuff offensively

832
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,599
from an execution standpoint, you know, do we have the

833
00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:30,440
requisite things we need to you know, walk a close

834
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:33,320
game down, which generally speaking, I think the answer was yes,

835
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,599
but you know, want to look at that specifically and

836
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,800
see if there was things we want to tighten up

837
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,320
ad or throw away. And we did all the above,

838
00:37:41,639 --> 00:37:44,440
and they worked on executing the things that we ultimately

839
00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:47,679
kept or stamped off on. And then defensively, you know,

840
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,880
just making sure we have things dial in with our

841
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,760
what I call our tool belt, being able to make adjustments,

842
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,639
which we didn't do a good note job in in

843
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:57,960
that Texas Tech game. And you know, sometimes you got

844
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,960
to learn the hard way, and that was certainly ky.

845
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:01,599
Speaker 2: But we feel like we've got.

846
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 6: Uh some answers there moving forward and it was a

847
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,599
good little mental reset.

848
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 7: And just to follow up, how would you maybe describe

849
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,159
how this week's practices have been from the guys after

850
00:38:13,519 --> 00:38:14,400
coming off a loss.

851
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 6: You know, Henri, you know, led by me, I think

852
00:38:17,559 --> 00:38:19,079
some of the guys as well, And that's kind of

853
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:22,079
what you want. I thought we've today was great, you know,

854
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,519
a couple of days it was a little bit more

855
00:38:23,519 --> 00:38:25,440
of a grind out, but uh, you know, it's a

856
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,599
long season, and I think, you know, getting through a

857
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:30,760
season mentally just as much as physically, is a challenge

858
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,519
in every year because there's this there's so much that

859
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:36,559
goes into it. So you know, I thought our guys

860
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:39,320
found a way to help themselves get better and be focused,

861
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,480
but still kind of be ticked off that we didn't

862
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:42,639
get a win on the road.

863
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,199
Speaker 4: Transition from coaching in the NBA to coaching at YU,

864
00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:53,559
what's it like coaching at a school where there is

865
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:56,079
a prayer before every game and every class?

866
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,039
Speaker 6: I love it, man, We did that in the NBA,

867
00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:00,159
believe it or not, the whole the whole time. I'm

868
00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:02,679
outs with MANI wins. We opened every single coaching meeting

869
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,960
with the prayer, set a prayer in the locker room

870
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,679
before every game. So, uh you know, I'm a god

871
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,519
fearing man, and uh you know I owe everything to

872
00:39:11,639 --> 00:39:13,480
him and I love the fact that we'll get a

873
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:16,360
chance to remind ourselves about that here at b Yu Man.

874
00:39:18,199 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: I'm glad if he stopped it there, and we are

875
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,400
going to have to take a break for our last segment.

876
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,000
But this is the what a narrative And with the

877
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,840
point that I'm trying to get across, sometimes I feel

878
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,159
like when Kevin Young because of the whole distraction. It

879
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:32,840
is a distraction of how great these players are and

880
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,000
that people worry about what's in their pockets, Like you're

881
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:37,840
so worried and look and this is no shot any

882
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,119
fan or anybody it is. Talk to me, But why

883
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:41,639
do you care so much about it? What a girl?

884
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,440
Another girl man's making? Not even growl man, I don't

885
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,079
want to be generally specific. Why do you care about

886
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:49,199
another adult, grown man, grown adult, a grown woman. Why

887
00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:51,559
do you care? I hear that all the time. That

888
00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:53,480
bugs me. I hate when I get asked that question.

889
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,239
I'll be honest, why do you care? You're not making it?

890
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,400
What do you just want to feel sad about yourself,

891
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,519
like boring, like you know he's making more money to you.

892
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,719
I don't ask that question. I don't want to hear

893
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,639
somebody else and find out what they're making to a

894
00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:06,960
few words like oh man, which I maybe if you know,

895
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:10,599
my parents would have you know, given me more vegetables,

896
00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:12,239
forced me to eat him. Maybe if I would have

897
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,719
got surgery to give my malegic plates, maybe I could have,

898
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,440
you know, caught a few touchdown passes. This is all

899
00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:20,440
tongue in cheeking away but also being serious. If that's

900
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,480
a distraction for what I'm saying of who Kevin Young is,

901
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:26,159
I feel like people get blind of Oh it's all business. No,

902
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,079
it's more than that. Kevin Young is a is a

903
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:31,760
god fearing man like this man gave cookies to the media,

904
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,480
very heartfelt. I'm telling you, it's seeing him interact with people.

905
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,360
Are the Redman's Farm event. It's not just all about basketball,

906
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,119
but people believe that it's not. He's mentioned his wife

907
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,519
and a newborn a couple of times and other things

908
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,719
showing his personality. And it might take a coach to

909
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,360
open up like that. It might take some time, and

910
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,599
it has you know, He's like, oh, it's a grumpy guys.

911
00:40:49,639 --> 00:40:52,840
You know, like seeing Kevin Young's personality come out more,

912
00:40:53,679 --> 00:40:56,360
seeing who he is, seeing the spiritual side. Watch the

913
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,519
cut when BYU wins the only do when they win,

914
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:01,440
which is great. Watch the cut. Watch it tell you

915
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Kevin Young has led I think two prayers in that

916
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,519
he leads to locker room and prayer, and he loves it.

917
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:08,760
He loves it. They open up with that God fear man.

918
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,639
I wish I'd had the sound clup ready for this,

919
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:12,760
and this is bad production on my part. Should have

920
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,039
had ap pulled up the sound. When shaneer Reice first

921
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:18,800
introduced Kevin Young is a new basketball coach, he said,

922
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,239
we've hired a new basketball coach. First he is a

923
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,679
faithful member of Disciple of Jesus Christ. First thing, he said,

924
00:41:25,119 --> 00:41:27,840
not though you know he's a he's got this resume.

925
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,360
He can go out and get this robust staff and

926
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:33,480
get these play No, none of that, None of that.

927
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,440
First thing was god fearing man, disciple of Christ. Look

928
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,079
at BYU. You guys think I'm tripping serious. This is

929
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:48,119
the coach for BYU for the future until he's ready

930
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:52,159
to leave. This is your Kalanie Sataki of football, of

931
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:55,719
football for basketball. It's different. Don't give me wrong. People

932
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,280
gonna restle around your wrong. It's different. He is not Kilani.

933
00:41:58,519 --> 00:42:00,880
There are things are different. But Kevin Young in that

934
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,320
same way does it that Kevin Young way? Maybe, But

935
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,119
Kevin Young loves the gospel and cares about it. You

936
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:08,800
want to know how I know? Okay, I'm at a

937
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,039
devotional for our boys because Richie Saunders is speaking for

938
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:14,199
the Utah or Mission. This is all off record stuff,

939
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,960
and I'm telling you I'm not gonna go too deep

940
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,039
into it. And we're waiting for Richie because it's for

941
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,880
kids at are priests sixteen and above preparing and I'm

942
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,679
a priest coorn advisor, so I'm never with some of

943
00:42:23,679 --> 00:42:26,119
the boys and their parents right there as a youth leader.

944
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,719
And I see Kevin Young walking the door and I

945
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,639
spot and he makes our contacting me and I see him.

946
00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:32,559
He stands up and dabs up and he's like hey.

947
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:34,719
He's like, I appreciate you being here. He's like, hey,

948
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,280
how you doing? Was good? How you doing? He brings

949
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,000
his boys meet his boys, and I'll leave it at that.

950
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,280
Saw Richie Saunders speak. He didn't have to be there

951
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:45,840
on a Sunday night from six d eight. He could

952
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,360
have been with his family. He did hen't have to

953
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,840
be there. He got a new born. He could have

954
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,960
been with his wife, Melissa. No chose to be there

955
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,519
with his boys and brought one of their friends too.

956
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:58,440
By the way, so when you think that's just about basketball,

957
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,440
want to remind you that it's not. It's more than that.

958
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,840
It's bigger than basketball. So if you ever get blinded,

959
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,719
I think it is when you get blinded by these

960
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,719
stars and talents and this and that, and you know,

961
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,039
donors and all this other stuff. A no, one second,

962
00:43:13,079 --> 00:43:15,920
I'm gonna give you pushback. I'm gonna give you pushback. Indeed,

963
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,760
appreciate that question being asked. Kevin Young appreciates to the

964
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,119
start with the prayer. Hopefully you started with the prayer today.

965
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,159
I know idea. If you've forgotten no prop at all,

966
00:43:23,159 --> 00:43:25,159
guess what you can pray right now. I talk to

967
00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:27,239
my dad all the time with a prayer, open art,

968
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,239
something that goes to the South roots. My dad's not

969
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,599
here anymore. I talk to them often. Pray often is

970
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:33,599
what you teach on your mission that can be on

971
00:43:33,599 --> 00:43:35,719
your knees, but sometimes it can just be heavily found.

972
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,440
I'm grateful for this day. I'm grateful that Ben has

973
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,840

1011
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,320
prediction apl star with two your keys of the game,

1012
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,760
and then I'll wrap it up and close it out

1013
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,360
as we prepare and get ready for tip off for

1014
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:22,599
Bay to take on Utah.

1015
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:26,119
Speaker 4: Okay, so my keys to the game, it's gonna come

1016
00:45:26,159 --> 00:45:29,960
on the defensive side because Utah Utah is not good

1017
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,119
at defense on their end, They're really really not. They're

1018
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:38,400
they're an offensive based team. So I think BA is

1019
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,559
gonna be able to get whatever they want offensively, to

1020
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:44,559
be honest, tonight. Defensively, I think the keys is going

1021
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:49,039
to be for Canard Davis to take Terrence Brown or

1022
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:52,039
Domic Henry. Just choose one of the two take them

1023
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:55,800
out of the game. And I want Boop taking Keanu

1024
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:56,400
Dawes out.

1025
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 3: Of the game.

1026
00:45:57,039 --> 00:45:57,639
Speaker 2: Ooh boop.

1027
00:45:57,679 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 4: Okay, those are my two guys that I think are

1028
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,519
gonna allow BYU to get stops on the defensive end

1029
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:07,239
and get out and build a lead. I think BYU

1030
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,400
will cover tonight, and I think I think still Utah

1031
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,559
is still gonna score. I think they're still gonna get

1032
00:46:13,559 --> 00:46:15,440
like a decent amount of points. But I think by

1033
00:46:15,599 --> 00:46:17,920
is gonna be able to do like I said, basically

1034
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,679
anything they want offensively. My score prediction is gonna be

1035
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,559
ninety six to seventy five.

1036
00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: Okay, ninety six to seventy five. Ab taking ninety six

1037
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,000
to seventy five, what's the score prediction? Eighty TEXTA bens

1038
00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:30,079
So you can put that out there, so you can

1039
00:46:30,119 --> 00:46:33,679
get some roll ARMI braand gear. Ninety six to seventy five.

1040
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,840
That is what he's taken. Anytime you hold the team

1041
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,719
under to eighty points, that is a good victory. I

1042
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,320
do believe BYU gets into the nineties. I do believe

1043
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,760
it will happen today. Mine is a little bit different.

1044
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,519
I'm gonna go twenty twenty five point victory. I think

1045
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:49,480
BYU keeps them to seventy. I think they shut them

1046
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,800
down a little bit more. I do think they'll get

1047
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,519
to the seventy mark, but I'm gonna go ninety five

1048
00:46:52,519 --> 00:46:55,480
to seventy. Ninety five to seventy I think gets a

1049
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,800
twenty five point win. I think they'll extended wood free

1050
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,320
throws at the end down to stretch with their evering.

1051
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,880
But I think BOI gets a twenty five point victory.

1052
00:47:03,199 --> 00:47:06,440
They improved to seventeen and two. Overall, they improve in

1053
00:47:06,519 --> 00:47:09,199
conference as well. It's tough to win in the Big twelve.

1054
00:47:09,199 --> 00:47:11,400
That's just the way it goes. But this BA basketball

1055
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,119
team is no joke. They got a lot of good players.

1056
00:47:14,159 --> 00:47:16,559
They improved the five and winning Big twelve. As I mentioned,

1057
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:18,679
I gave you guys all the numbers in the first segment.

1058
00:47:18,679 --> 00:47:20,719
If you miss it, download on the podcast. I think

1059
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,239
AJ does go for the plus thirty. Now how much

1060
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,519
he goes for it, I don't know, but I think

1061
00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:27,880
he will have a thirty point performance. His shoulder the

1062
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,599
narrative of all they turned off his water. That's what

1063
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:32,760
I've heard. I've seen. Oh first time I've seen AJ

1064
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,440
shut down. People don't want to take the factor that

1065
00:47:34,679 --> 00:47:36,400
he could have been sick and in practice two days.

1066
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,679
Guess what he's practiced the whole week. He looked healthy.

1067
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,280
The Coaches Show the other day we heard from some

1068
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,840
sound from Kevin Young. In the last segment, I think

1069
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,360
you're gonna see AJ Demonster remind everybody why he should

1070
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,440
be the number one overall pick in the twenty twenty

1071
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,159
six in be a draft, guys that will do it.

1072
00:47:51,199 --> 00:47:53,559
From us, We've enjoyed our time here on the airwaves today.
