massive win for the Cougar basketball team. They looked highly energized,

highly revitalized, and cohesive. Okay, they looked fantastic. Great defense

44
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:21,560

introduce you to my co host and the rest of

54
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:42,319
the star set of cast joining us for this beautiful

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,639
Monday edition, a little famil meeting edition of Cougar Sports.

56
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:49,120
Let's welcome in, first and foremost, our bucket getter himself.

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,599
Speaker 3: He was down at the game, got.

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,439
Speaker 4: To take it all in and report on it. Let's

59
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:56,840
welcome in Ronald the three man weaver to the show.

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: Was a Ronnie look.

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 5: A lot of basketball left. A lot will be discussed,

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,639
but I will say this grateful that AJ was able

63
00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:08,000
to lock up the best player filewa State because I

64
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,520
was tired of narrative of he's only an offensive guy,

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,319
he doesn't like to play both sides of the ball,

66
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:13,719
Like that's not true.

67
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,599
Speaker 2: He does so much. But the national media now take

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,319
into account.

69
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,439
Speaker 5: Was forced to respect AJ, and I feel like they

70
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:23,719
weren't because the DNP camboose that is finding any narrative

71
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,680
because BAU hadn't knocked off for Premier team, but they did,

72
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,479
And now AJ is back in the conversation for Player

73
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:30,639
of the Year after Saturday.

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: I loved it. Then, Yeah, what was most impressive to

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,639
you with Aj? Was it the fact that he played?

76
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:39,639
Speaker 4: He's played like ebsecutive forty minute games, like he's putting

77
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
in minutes, He's putting in work, He's on the.

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: Court the entire game.

79
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: Was it his defensive efficiency, how how he used his athleticism,

80
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,520
his length to his advantage versus one of the best

81
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:58,840
shooters in college basketball? Or was it his his offensive output,

82
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,879
Like I just his scored efficiency, his shot making ability,

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
or his distribution, his distribution, his playmaking ability getting his

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,159
teammates involved. How many missed wide open shots did his teammates,

85
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:15,080
you know.

86
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: Just just fall short of it?

87
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 4: Seemed like there was probably like six or seven other

88
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:28,639
wide open potential assists that AJ distributed. He was influego

89
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,680
with his playmaking.

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: It was awesome.

91
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna put that out as a poll in

92
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:39,000
a which element of a JS game versus Iowas were

93
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,240
you most impressed by? Okay, so think about that, search

94
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,399
ponder and playlist. Also welcome in hammertime show Brett always

95
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:47,839
bringing the hammer, Brett Hammer, how are you?

96
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what's crazier the fact that.

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,319
Speaker 6: USA USA, the fact that Team USA beat Canada in

98
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,079
what's like.

99
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: Oh on our fourth best sport. That's the whole pride

100
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:02,680
of the Great Whites.

101
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 6: It isn't even our fourth best sport, like well, one

102
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,959
is probably I don't know if football or basketball. I

103
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,680
could go either way for number one, and then number

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,920
three I think we would say is probably baseball, and

105
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,120
then it's it's gotta be hockey as four because we're

106
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,240
not that good at soccer. But you know what, like

107
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,879
now that we beat Canada in one gold, why don't

108
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,720
we just like go.

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: Win the World Cup this year so we'll see.

110
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:27,959
Speaker 6: I don't know what's crazyer the fact that Team USA

111
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,920
beat Canada or the fact that the same day that

112
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,759
the nc Double A Division one men's basketball committee came

113
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,319
out and said, hey, you know what, Iowa stay they're

114
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:39,560
a one seed. If we started our tournament today and

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,920
Bou said, you know what, why don't we go have

116
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,279
our best game of the season against what.

117
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,879
Speaker 3: Would be really your best win of.

118
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,319
Speaker 6: The season, given that the committee said it's a one seed,

119
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:50,279
be what you beat them.

120
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what's better.

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 6: All I know is that I had a fantastic weekend

122
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,319
between both of those.

123
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: No doubt about it. Excited to break it all down

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,120
with a hammertime show. Shout out to vic ram on

126
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,680

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: To be a grand should be a wonderful one.

128
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 4: We'll get into k y post game sound and breaking

129
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,519
down the win over Ioway state in the nitty gritty

130
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,920
and more content and sound from aj Debons and be

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,639
Highlow Bucketvich. Finally, Bucketvich became a bucket. He had to

132
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,639
take a lot of volume. He took a lot of shots,

133
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,800
but finally I think he did. He hit his first

134
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,079
and last three point shots. I think that's what it was,

135
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,519
front end and back end. He missed a slew of

136
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,560
him in the middle, but he still had his best

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,519
game of the season.

138
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: With more volume. With what more.

139
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: Opportunity comes some execution and you got a force feed.

140
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,439
I've said it time and time again. Hilo Boskovic has

141
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,439
to be force fed. If feel you is going to

142
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,639
win basketball games in March, and he's finally being force

143
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,279
fed and he's coming up with some productivity.

144
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,439

All right, so let's break down this dub over by

185
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,519
or over Iowash State. It was great, it was grand,

186
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:19,000
it was wonderful obviously by us A.

187
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: Jabotsa was named the.

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,039
Speaker 4: Big twelve Player of the Week after this fantastic performance.

189
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,000
And I asked the question, what was most impressive to

190
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:34,519
you his scoring, his distribution and playmaking, his defense or

191
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,960
what was.

192
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: My other one? Oh, his endurance and longevity is Cardiova.

193
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: He's on the court all forty minutes, which is most

194
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,279
impressive to you? In why Ronald start us off hammertime?

195
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:46,080
And then I'll bring up the caboose on this.

196
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Stan Durrance. I mean, we're gonna hear from

197
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:52,519
Kevin Youngs. It's gonna be qualified. But this is why

198
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,840
his teammates been you mentioned earlier. They miss shots openly

199
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,519
all the time. So that's nothing new, right, But to

200
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,399
play against the best team in the country that turns

201
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,879
you over defensively, to play forty minutes, to have twenty

202
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,759
nine points ten or seventeen shooting from the field, ten rebounds,

203
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,679
one shits, oh excuse me, one assist, way of a

204
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,600
triple double. To do that with only two turnovers, that

205
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:23,320
does not happen. Nope, nope, no, I don't think people

206
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:26,960
understand basketball with that. Like Darien william Darien Williams and

207
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,000
NC State his usage went up last year and it's

208
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,759
pretty and it went down the number like that happened.

209
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,080
Kevin Young's staff like the way they're able to do that.

210
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,519
And this is why the NBA and the scouts, we

211
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,720
need to talk to them and not fans and even

212
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:42,120
maybe the national people unless they're really dowt to the

213
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,279
NBA executives and the scouts. Richie Saunders usage went up

214
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960
last year, the production went up, AG's usage at a

215
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:50,879
high level. To do that, then that's just remarkable. That

216
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,759
doesn't happen. Not against Iowa State. Remember last year in

217
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:55,840
the Hilton when they tried to use more people than

218
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,000
the turnovers came. So to me, I think that was

219
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
most impressive. Impressive to Durrance play all forty minutes it

220
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:02,799
to only turn the ball over twice and not just

221
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,279
tim rob two even though he didn't have the best game.

222
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,519
That's phenomenal. You don't normally see that being guys get tired.

223
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
So to me, I think the endurance of AJ was

224
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:12,399
phenomenal on Saturday.

225
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: And it's it's consecutive games now. I mean he's having

226
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:20,240
to play minutes. Okay, this is and look we're getting

227
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,000
towards the end of the year.

228
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,759
Speaker 3: You gotta win. There's a sense of urgency he's played.

229
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:24,759
Let me give you the minutes.

230
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: Forty minutes, thirty nine minutes, forty three minutes, forty minutes.

231
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,039
Speaker 3: Okay.

232
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,039
Speaker 4: The last four games BYU has won three out of

233
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:39,679
the last four games, Baylor, Colorado and then Iowa State.

234
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: They lost to U of A on the road. That's

235
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:43,879
to me.

236
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 4: The four games prior AJ was playing thirty five, thirty four,

237
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,879
thirty six, and thirty five. See the difference. That could

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,759
just be the difference. And he's getting better, he's trending

239
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,720
in the right direction. So I get what you're saying, right,

240
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:03,480
I'm not gonna argue with you. I don't know if

241
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840
there is a wrong answer here. There's no wrong answer.

242
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,679
It's subjectively how you feel about the most important element

243
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,799
of AJ's game.

244
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: What do you got for me? Hammertime show?

245
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,519
Speaker 6: I feel bad because no matter what we say, we're

246
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,639
gonna forget something.

247
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there was so like it is.

248
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 6: It was an It's unbelievable how complete of a basketball

249
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:29,039
game that he played, because if you talk about the endurance,

250
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,840
then you know what else you forget? Like you when

251
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:33,759
you talk about the endurance, it's like, oh yeah, Like

252
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:38,039
it's impressive that he ran like six miles straight.

253
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what else?

254
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 6: He also did the sprint because if you'll remember, he

255
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,919
had moves. He's crossing dudes up, hitting a step back,

256
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,320
he's shooting well from three, he's dunking, he's crossing over

257
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120
the whole Iowa State team and then going up and

258
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,360
under to the rim and and oh yeah, on top

259
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,320
of it, Mom Chilovich was pretty quiet that night.

260
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:00,159
Speaker 3: The best shooter in the country, they called him.

261
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,519
Speaker 6: Multiple times, was a goose egg for a lot of

262
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,039
that game.

263
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:08,879
Speaker 3: I don't know how you pick just one thing.

264
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:13,399
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with just the offensive production since you

265
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,759
guys eloquated how well he was endurance wise. But the highlights, man,

266
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,759
I mean it was highlight after highlight. At one point,

267
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:25,879
Sean Farnham said, like he shouldn't be able to do that,

268
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,639
Like the guys that big when he crossed over the

269
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,440
young man whose name I can't remember over there on

270
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,720
the side, like that gave me vintage Kevin Durant crossovers,

271
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:42,200
because you just don't see a guy who's that big

272
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,120
crossover that well and be able to move the defender

273
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,399
like that. And he doesn't do it all the time

274
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,559
because that's not his game. But the fact that he

275
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,039
did that at all showed me a lot. And then again,

276
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,840
like he shot well from three, he did really well

277
00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:58,519
getting out in transition and getting his points that way

278
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:02,919
goes for all as a point shy of thirty. Honestly,

279
00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:06,480
my other conspiracy, while we're bringing up conspiracies, I think

280
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:10,039
there's a conspiracy in the Big twelve officiating office over

281
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,879
there in Texas.

282
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: Hey, we can only give Aj so many free throws,

283
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,080
like we just we.

284
00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:17,399
Speaker 6: Can't send him to the line all the time, otherwise

285
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,039
it would be some Oklahoma City thunder cheating scandal.

286
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: I get it.

287
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 6: But like you just see times where AJ's getting demolished

288
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,360
on his way to the rim and he doesn't get it,

289
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
and then someone else drives to the rim gets touched

290
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,840
even less and they give them a foul. But it's like, hey, Aj,

291
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:38,759
we're basically saying we can only send you to the

292
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:42,279
line like six times, and we'd already given you three

293
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,480
at this point, so we gotta wait till later and

294
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:46,840
then gave him to give you more. So he probably

295
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,320
could have had forty if they sent him to the

296
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,879
line as many times as they should have.

297
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:53,679
Speaker 3: But the point being Aj never does too much.

298
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 6: He never he doesn't take bad shots like he does

299
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,559
everything he has to for BYU to get a win.

300
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,960
And again, this is a team that the NC DOUBLEA

301
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:06,600
told you, the committee told.

302
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:08,639
Speaker 3: You we would put these guys, is a one seed.

303
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,639
Speaker 6: There's still a top ten team that it's it's unreal

304
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,120
to think about that this is BYU's best win of

305
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,480
the season, even given everyone else they played and lost to.

306
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,320
It's not better than beating Arizona, but it is right there.

307
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,799
And honestly, at this point, I think it's hard to

308
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:30,720
fully give Aj enough credit because no matter what you

309
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:34,679
talk about, you're taking something for granted that he does.

310
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, great thoughts, great comments from both of you guys.

311
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,399
It's hard to argue with with any one of these.

312
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,559
And like I said, there's no wrong answer. I love

313
00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:47,360
the thought of endurance, cardio, your best abilities, your availability, right,

314
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,480
that baseline foundational thing that we've discussed between.

315
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: AJ and D and P.

316
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: The scoring and efficiency, like the form and fashion which

317
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,600
he scores right, the way that he finishes at the rim.

318
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,039
He's really he's really expanded his game to as a

319
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:04,759
as a shooter, whether you're mid range game where you

320
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:08,440
cross up and you're on the extended wing and you

321
00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:12,320
hit from twenty after breaking ankles, or you're pulling up

322
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,039
in transition from the three point line, or you give

323
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960
a ball fake, a shot fake and you put it

324
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,120
on the bounce and then you euro step three times

325
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,960
with those big ass long, skinny legs of yours and

326
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,960
then dunk yam it on someone's forehead, on his I mean,

327
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,039
it's it's really it's fun to watch obviously, and he

328
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,279
fights through contact actually quite well. And he did get

329
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,200
nine attempts for the free throw line. But you're you're

330
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,559
probably right, there could be something there's like, hey, he

331
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,960
I think one of the reasons real quick why Lebron

332
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,279
flops is because he's so freaking big and he didn't

333
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,960
get calls yes growing up because he's bigger and faster

334
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:51,000
and stronger than everybody else?

335
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: Can you fight through contact?

336
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,679
Speaker 4: Like Shaq was kind of similar in how big and

337
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,960
strong he was, so he wouldn't get as many calls

338
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,519
because he can fight through contact.

339
00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:01,759
Speaker 3: I think Aj, for how spelt he looks.

340
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,599
Speaker 4: He actually takes contact well and because of that he

341
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,440
is not de h derailed from his line. Does that

342
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,960
make sense anyway to your point? I want to make

343
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,400
that my most impressive element. When when we were talking

344
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,440
about Aj coming to BYU, it was all about, well,

345
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,559
Aj is just gonna have the ball in his hands

346
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,119
the entire time, and he's.

347
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 3: Just gonna score, but he's not gonna distribute.

348
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: He's not a playmaker for anybody. He's not an assist giver.

349
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:38,799
He's he's a me first guy. He's arrogant, right, everyone

350
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,559
thought he was. He's Red Bull, he's Nike. He's only

351
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:47,000
looking for the money. He's he's just chasing the millies,

352
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:52,799
chasing the filthy luker. And what we're seeing is that's

353
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:59,599
completely erroneous. That is fallacious commentary. That is a fallacy

354
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,359
that has disproven over the last few games.

355
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: Why because Aj.

356
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 4: Is not always looking to score, he's looking to pass

357
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,279
as much as he's looking to score and the ball

358
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,000
is not getting as sticky at times. Like all of

359
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:22,119
these lobs to Kaiba that are these are sniper lobs.

360
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,319
These are incredibly well timed passes. He is a distributor

361
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:34,000
of the basketball. He is a true point forward. To

362
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,039
take that that terminology point forward, you have to be

363
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,640
able to distribute the basketball. I grew up watching Steve

364
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:47,480
Nash and John Stockton and Ronald's favorite point guard, the

365
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:51,319
point god, Chris Paul. Right, these guys distribute the ball.

366
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,720
They get others involved. Aj Yes is an elite scorer.

367
00:18:55,759 --> 00:19:00,599
He is efficient, he is he's phenomenal. But what's most

368
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,319
impressive to me is that he had nine assists and

369
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,839
he should should have had fifteen. He should have had

370
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,680
fifteen with how many wide open shots everybody got. So

371
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:15,440
and then shout out to k why for the scheme

372
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,559
employed versus i Always State's defense. I think that is unheralded,

373
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,839
unsung the way that they attacked the Iowa State defensive

374
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:28,599
scheme and limited their like chaotic doubles at the top

375
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,000
of the key and extended you know, extended.

376
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,839
Speaker 3: Three point line. It is.

377
00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: They are ferocious and tenacious, and that's why one of

378
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:40,559
the they're one of the best defensive teams in college battles. Anyway,

379
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,359
I'm going with playmaking. That's where I stand in this debate.

380
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:46,640
Like I said, there's no right or wrong answer, like

381
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,480
you could justify whatever you want. I'm putting it out

382
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,960
as a poll. Right now, you decide what you feel, cougarnation.

383
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,960
But real quick, let's discuss this game, shall we.

384
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: What a great game.

385
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,039
Speaker 4: It was a monumental for this b YU men's basketball team,

386
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:08,519
in my opinion, because there was doubt everywhere amongst Kugarnation

387
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,440
that this team, that we thought that this team couldn't

388
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,799
figure it out. This is our this is the team.

389
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,440
This is who they are, this is who they've been.

390
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,759
They they can't change. They're a bad first half team.

391
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:22,920
They get down by in the teams and then they

392
00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:26,640
they can't they they make it respectable, and then they

393
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,440
lose to better teams, deeper teams, better coach teams. We

394
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:34,119
just got some star town. We paid too much. We're

395
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,799
not getting the ROI. Our expectations haven't been met. And

396
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:42,359
enters Ky his backs against the rope. He's got five

397
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,519
season ending injuries. He said, this is the time, this

398
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:49,359
is the place where I actually coach my best ball

399
00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:50,799
and he did.

400
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 3: It and it was phenomenal. It was at home. Okay,

401
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,519
I'll put a little asterisk it's at home, but mare

402
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,319
it was convincing. Though.

403
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, i State fought back as they should have, but

404
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,480
this game felt like b YU was always in control.

405
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,319
Speaker 3: It was glorious. It was marvelous. Who was wonderful.

406
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: Let's get into some of the sound bites from the postgame.

407
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:15,359
Let's start off with k Y Kevin. You said it

408
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,680
was going to be a dogfight playing BOI. What fight

409
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,759
did your team show against Iowa State?

410
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 7: Phenomenal? You know, it was a thing.

411
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,039
Speaker 8: It just says a lot about the guys in the

412
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:26,200
locker room. You know, no one's really bad inan eye.

413
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,319
You know they understand that. You know, we've faced a

414
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,759
lot of adversity, and you know, no one's blinked. Honestly,

415
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:35,920
they've stayed uh, they've stayed together, and they've kept working.

416
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,960
And you know, even in that Arizona game, and obviously

417
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,240
you know, it's kind of two different season now with

418
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,720
Richie and when we had him, now that we don't,

419
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:52,039
but even like Houston Arizona, you know, I felt like

420
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,079
our guys took a step forward even though we didn't

421
00:21:56,079 --> 00:22:00,279
win those games, and sometimes that can be a challenge

422
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,519
to just get down if you don't win. I thought,

423
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,359
I think our guys, if anything, you'd actually gotten more confident.

424
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: You know.

425
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:08,559
Speaker 8: I think our coaches have done a good job of

426
00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:11,880
streamlining things where we've you know, we're learning the group

427
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,039
more and more and what resonates and what does it

428
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:16,880
and that kind of thing. So in terms of the fight,

429
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,759
you know, it's uh if you have to have the

430
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:23,960
fight clearly and then and then the belief behind the fight,

431
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,759
I think is where our guys are at right now.

432
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 3: You gotta have the belief behind the fight. I love

433
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,119
that it's this team.

434
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,079
Speaker 4: Are you seeing the sense of urgency from every single

435
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:38,200
one of these players right now?

436
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: Are you seeing the sense of urgency? Yeah? Well Canar,

437
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:43,039
I won't.

438
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,519
Speaker 4: Say from everybody, but well I felt like I saw

439
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:46,039
from Canard.

440
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,039
Speaker 6: I think that's Oh I'm not talking about Canar, Okay,

441
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,599
there's other people I'm talking about.

442
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: There was someone who didn't play.

443
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 6: What's interesting is Rob Wright didn't have a great game,

444
00:22:57,759 --> 00:22:59,839
and it's not I don't know that it wasn't that

445
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,519
Rob didn't try but Rob went two for eight on

446
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:06,079
the game and had six points, which is so weird

447
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,640
because what we're accustomed to is, hey man, aj Rob,

448
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,839
I need you guys to get us like sixty plus

449
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,559
and then we'll see who else gets you guys a

450
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:18,119
couple buckets to help out. Yep, Rob had six points.

451
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:20,599
Ben Ron said this to me this morning. He was like,

452
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,599
bet Brett, if I would have told you before the

453
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,880
game Rob scores six points, you would have said, how

454
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,519
many points.

455
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,839
Speaker 3: We losing by? Because there's no way you can win

456
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:32,839
if Rob only scores six. But to your point, there was.

457
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 6: A lot of hustle from absolutely everybody who played in

458
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,240
this game, and Rob did other things to get involved

459
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,279
in other ways. The person who, again I feel like

460
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,480
we say it every day and every week, the guy

461
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:47,920
who needs more minutes on this team because every time

462
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,920
he steps on the floor it looks like he had

463
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,440
He's hasn't played all season and he's playing for the

464
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,799
first time, and he's just got so many so much energy.

465
00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:58,279
Speaker 3: He's ready to run through a brick wall. Is adem boop?

466
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 6: I mean when that do dude walks out, he's like, oh,

467
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:03,759
ball's in the air, all right, I know where it's going,

468
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:05,160
and I'm gonna be there and I'm gonna get it

469
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,799
down for and we're gonna score. Like he he just

470
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:09,720
looks like he cares more than everybody else, and he

471
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,640
looks like he's having more fun than everybody else. Everyone

472
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,039
did an incredible job. Everybody deserves a ton of credit.

473
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,039
Mahilo deserves credit for playing better than we've seen, gets

474
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:21,839
the career high, all that, but like energy wise, having

475
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,079
fun wise, nobody is having more fun on this team

476
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,920
than Hadem Boob.

477
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,799
Speaker 3: You know, I love that commentary. When I watch shadem play, I.

478
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 4: Try to put myself into his shoes, what he's thinking,

479
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,400
why he's doing what he's doing. There's two reasons why

480
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,599
you give phenomenal defensive effort and you give or you give.

481
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,519
Speaker 3: Phenomenal rebounding effort.

482
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 4: I think it's based off of either Number one, you

483
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,440
were highly competitive and you're like you hate losing more

484
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,799
than you love winning.

485
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 3: I think that's one component.

486
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: Or number two, you are you are grateful for the

487
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:01,119
opportunity just to be freaking playing this game. You are

488
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,400
so grateful. And I look at him and I'm like,

489
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:07,599
he's from Senegal. He went to NBA academy. He had

490
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:13,720
to grow up playing on dirt basketball courts with broken

491
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:17,640
down rims, some of them not even ten feet high,

492
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,240
maybe eight feet sometimes I mean nine feet, maybe higher

493
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,480
than that.

494
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 3: Other times they're dishoveled.

495
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:27,839
Speaker 4: They're just they're they're they're they're mouth figured. He's grateful

496
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,000
to be in provo balling out for Brigham.

497
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 3: That's what I see.

498
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,519
Speaker 4: Those two things are are are are without a doubt

499
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:39,759
in my mind. I see it in the form and fashion,

500
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:45,160
even in his celebratory nature. He's grateful to have fans

501
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:47,359
rooting him on because he never.

502
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: Had anything at in Senegal.

503
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,839
Speaker 4: He never had the country in which built him, the

504
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,000
opportunities that built him.

505
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: He's grateful. He's tenaciously competitive.

506
00:25:57,279 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 4: And but I think more than anything that dude is

507
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,640
just great, rateful to be here, and he wants to

508
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,000
show his gratitude through his play.

509
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 6: So AJ led the team and it was tied for

510
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:09,119
first and rebounds, and we know AJ played forty minutes.

511
00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:12,319
You know who else had ten rebounds and played less

512
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,920
minutes than anybody.

513
00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:16,519
Speaker 3: Else hadem Boop he also.

514
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 6: Had ten rebounds and he only played seventeen minutes. Because

515
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:22,839
I'd love to know I got to look up what

516
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,880
his per forty minutes are because I bet you it's

517
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,319
unreal him rebounding the basketball. I mean, it's a gift, right,

518
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,079
And like that's the way people used to talk about

519
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,160
Dennis Rodman, where it was like his favorite thing to

520
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,480
do is rebound the basketball. Like to some guys, that's

521
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,880
just like a byproduct of playing basketball.

522
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, you gotta go get a rebound.

523
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:43,559
Speaker 6: When he goes to get a rebound, it looks like

524
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,680
it's his favorite thing in the world to just do.

525
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,039
And I don't know how he knows where to be

526
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,440
because when the ball goes off the rim, it's like

527
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:55,039
he's playing two K and he sees the little target

528
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:57,079
on the ground of where the basketball is and he

529
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:57,519
goes there.

530
00:26:57,559 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how he does it, but it's a

531
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,160
gift for that man.

532
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: Kevin evaluate ajh defense against Milan Malovivich' is unbelievable.

533
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 8: I mean, when aj can do whatever he wants on

534
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,440
a basketball court, whatever he puts his mind to, he

535
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:13,799
can do.

536
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 7: And you know that's their leading scorer. You know he

537
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960
held them to one to five. I mean, let's just

538
00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:21,400
put it into perspective.

539
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:26,319
Speaker 8: AJ played forty minutes, didn't come out at twenty nine points,

540
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:30,319
ten rebounds, nine assists, two turnovers against the team that

541
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,960
turns over everybody more than anyone in the country and

542
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,880
held their best player for one to five. The guy's

543
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,519
in absolute stud and you know, I think he's showing

544
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:40,799
people night in the night.

545
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 7: Out how reliable he is.

546
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 8: And what I liked about tonight was, you know, he

547
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,680
did it on both ends of the floor, and something

548
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,559
I've challenged him with from the second I met the

549
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:52,759
young man, so really really proud of his complete game.

550
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:54,599
Speaker 7: I thought it was his most complete game of the season.

551
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,799
Speaker 4: Boom baby, most complete game of the season. And everyone's

552
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:03,799
take notice, all of the pundits, all the analysts are

553
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,160
taking notice, and uh, you know, just real quick, our

554
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,079
conspiracy theories about d NP, so that everybody knows DNP

555
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:11,720
is getting.

556
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,519
Speaker 3: He's getting.

557
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 4: He's getting ranked over the Cols right now for not

558
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,920
playing for load managing, and everyone's wondering what's going on.

559
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,519
And AJ the way that he's playing, he's elevating his

560
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:24,319
stock and now everyone's jumping on the AJ train saying

561
00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:25,359
he's the number one overall.

562
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,039
Speaker 3: He's a dog.

563
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 4: He's uh he's got more, he's got a higher ceiling,

564
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,640
he's got more upside. He can build a championship squad,

565
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:34,400
a roster around him because he's a leader.

566
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,519
Speaker 3: All those things right.

567
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 4: And so Darren is UH has his pr campaign trying

568
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,640
to fight it. He's inviting national media members. I think

569
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,720
he's got his individual. UH development coach tweeted something out.

570
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,759
Oh he's the hardest worker and there's only one reason why.

571
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,559
Like you're seeing these tweets and like we know a

572
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,920
syop when we see it. We've we've experienced in a

573
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:02,599
siops over the last six years to know what a

574
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,559
siop feels like. You're not gonna fool us on this one,

575
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:08,720
d NP not gonna full us.

576
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,559
Speaker 3: We know what you're doing.

577
00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: Meron metcap putting it out this kind of this fluff

578
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:12,960
piece there.

579
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:17,039
Speaker 3: And anyway, Uh, I do think by the way, d

580
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,240
n P is gonna DP deep.

581
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:21,559
Speaker 4: He's gonna play in March madness and he's gonna do

582
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,200
some nice things in the in March madness. I think

583
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,559
he's going to ball out when the brights are lightest

584
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,279
and UH are are brightest and lightest, and so it's

585
00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:35,319
going to continue. This is a good thing for college

586
00:29:35,359 --> 00:29:39,400
basketball leading up to March Madness, having aj versus Darren

587
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,880
during March Madness. If they meet again, which I hope

588
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,920
they don't, I hope it's like a very end you know,

589
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,480
kind of like uh, you know, we're talking sweet sixteen elite,

590
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,599
a national championship type of deal.

591
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: That's when you want to see it. Uh.

592
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:56,119
Speaker 4: If if it plays out the form fashion, which we

593
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:58,920
would like it to at any rate, I do think

594
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:03,039
dp's gonna be really good down this stretch, and we'll

595
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:05,160
have to continue to have this conversation about who's the

596
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,519
best overall pick in next year's NBA draft, Roddie your thoughts.

597
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: Look, Look, Bred got his degree in journalism.

598
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 5: I did, and I'm kind of disappointed in some of

599
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,400
these these journalists. Look, we're gonna have Aaron torres On

600
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:19,000
later to ask him, but he p said something that

601
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,559
was very very well I think constructed, and I'm gonna

602
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,680
reiterate it, you know, paraphrase it. There's another player in

603
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,039
the ACC that's a projected first round pick, Brown Junior,

604
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,000
mckail Brown Jr.

605
00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:30,759
Speaker 3: That was hurt.

606
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,079
Speaker 2: People thought the same thing, you know, right with speculation.

607
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 5: Because our job in the media, if you don't say

608
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,960
anything to speculate, right, what is this? Why this is happening?

609
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,200
We're allowed to ask that like that because you've put

610
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,799
out that narrative. It's not our fault, like you're the

611
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:43,960
one not playing Darren's camp.

612
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 7: Ben.

613
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 5: All they've had to do, like mckail brown Jr. Is

614
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:49,119
put out a statement, but they've refused to They've decided

615
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,799
to bring in Myran Metcalf and go fluff and you

616
00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:53,799
know you've decided to go his trainer, his dad wants

617
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:54,920
to go cryptic messages.

618
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,759
Speaker 2: Is this is very simple.

619
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 5: To me because what it looks like to me is

620
00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:00,720
all you have to do is say, hey, he's not

621
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,960
this is what it is per evaluation, YadA gotta goada.

622
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:05,799
So if you're not doing now, what that tells me

623
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,319
is then he's not hurt. And you're having everybody.

624
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,359
Speaker 2: Show these clips of look at what he did in

625
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,400
high school and look at that.

626
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: Like I don't want to hear that, Like if he's

627
00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:15,000
really hurt, then let him speak and say it. And

628
00:31:15,079 --> 00:31:17,279
players need to understand this. Now, with the platform that

629
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,720
they have, you're entitled to not say anything you want.

630
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:22,240
Then we're awesome titled to keep speculating this. We thought

631
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:24,240
the same thing in the media about Michael Brown Junior.

632
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:26,319
He put it out, it went away, It dies down

633
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,119
after you do that same thing. I'm gonna go BYU

634
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,319
status for you, Delaney Gibb. When coach Whiten got fired,

635
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,160
is she gonna go into.

636
00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:32,599
Speaker 3: The portal this?

637
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 5: You know what by you did a good job. They

638
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:37,160
put it in front of Sports Nation. Then two days

639
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,640
after and it was all gone away with the player.

640
00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:42,359
You have the power to put it away, but you

641
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,400
decide to go a different direction with it, Like you

642
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,720
control the narrative, but you don't want to control the

643
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:49,119
right narrative. So that's where I look at Darren and

644
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,799
this campus whoever's in his ear. You could easily make

645
00:31:51,839 --> 00:31:53,880
this go away, but you chosen not to. And I'm

646
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,039
not gonna feel sorry for you.

647
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:59,799
Speaker 6: Here's what's weird to me is that this isn't new,

648
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:03,839
Like we started talking about this really seriously like a

649
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,640
month ago, where we were like, hey, Darren's not playing

650
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,599
in games. Is it just because he has a chronic

651
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:12,519
injury or what's going on. Here's what's weird to me though,

652
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:15,160
and that's what this started this weekend, is you now

653
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,039
have journalists who come out of the woodworks and they're like, well,

654
00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:21,480
it's not fair for us to speculate.

655
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: It's not fair for us to do that to the

656
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:25,799
kid when we don't know what's going on.

657
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,119
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, you know why we don't know what's going

658
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,680
on because they're not telling us. And it's not that

659
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:33,519
they haven't had the opportunity to, as Ron alluded to.

660
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:36,079
And it's not as though we're living thirty because that's

661
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:38,000
the thing that I was like, no, shut up and dribble.

662
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:41,400
Everyone has a platform now, everyone can speak. Darren could

663
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,000
tweet it out if he wanted to. I don't know

664
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:46,440
what the issue is. I do think there probably is

665
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:51,799
some legitimacy to the injury, but I also think this

666
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,480
is a guy who wants to get to the NBA

667
00:32:54,599 --> 00:32:56,480
and I get that, and I don't have an issue

668
00:32:56,519 --> 00:32:56,720
with that.

669
00:32:57,039 --> 00:32:57,119
Speaker 7: Ye.

670
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 6: What I think is happening is I think somebody in

671
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:04,759
this camp, whether it's at Kansas, whether it's Darren Peterson's agent,

672
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,920
they're reaching out to certain media members. And I don't

673
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,839
want to call guys out because I don't want to

674
00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:13,880
pretend like there's people who don't have integrity, but there's

675
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,440
some certain high level guys, guys we would love to

676
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,720
have on this program, who all of a sudden are

677
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:23,240
now saying it's just not fair for us to do

678
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:24,119
it to this kid.

679
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,759
Speaker 3: You know what's not fair the fact that he's not

680
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,279
playing and not telling us why. I mean, there's a

681
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:30,480
lot of guys that have gone off on them.

682
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:30,839
Speaker 7: Steve n A.

683
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,839
Speaker 6: Smith have gone on and some of the j Billison

684
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,839
was out there today saying, well, it's not fair for

685
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,039
us dication. He's not fair for us to say that

686
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:40,319
the reason he's not playing is because there's something else

687
00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:40,720
going on.

688
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: Why is that not fair for us to say that? Look,

689
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:43,559
I think it was interesting.

690
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 4: Carmelo Anthony chimed in on the whole d MP situation,

691
00:33:46,759 --> 00:33:49,519
and he's like, look and any other in a different era,

692
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,200
he'd be a one and done. He alluded to the

693
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,039
fact that Darren does not even want to be playing

694
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:57,319
college basketball. The difference between Darren and AJ is AJ

695
00:33:57,599 --> 00:34:00,000
is actually embracing the collegiate experience.

696
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:01,279
Speaker 3: What has he said?

697
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,319
Speaker 4: My favorite class is the Book of Mormon class. I

698
00:34:03,359 --> 00:34:06,400
like being I like paving my own path. Why did

699
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,559
I go to BYU rather than a blue blood I

700
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,639
went to b YU because I wanted a different experience.

701
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:14,519
I wanted to create a legacy. I wanted to be legendary.

702
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,039
I wanted to do something. I wanted to walk down

703
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:20,920
a path that's different than other people have walked down.

704
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,559
Speaker 3: Remember what he said with Steven A. Smith.

705
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 4: He's like, wait, you're not gonna watch Why can't I

706
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,320
play Duke at b YU? Why can't I play?

707
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

708
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,599
Speaker 4: It's all just being different in paving his own path.

709
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,719
And what's interesting is I felt like in many ways,

710
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:37,599
maybe not during the collegiate experience. You know, MJ the

711
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:41,159
goat in my opinion. You know, he went to collegiate route.

712
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:45,440
Obviously he was at UNC, which is fine, but he

713
00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:49,599
went a unique route by going with Nike, right, like

714
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,360
trying to pave a different path than others before him.

715
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,079
Speaker 3: At that time, Converse was massive, the whole movie about it. Yeah,

716
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:57,920
I mean it was.

717
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: Just massive, and it's like everyone was he wanted a

718
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,440
conference and luckily his mom.

719
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,599
Speaker 3: Was there, and guess what, Luckily Ace was there.

720
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 4: In the ages, you're saying, hey, let's go do something different,

721
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,079
and we may it may pay some mask of dividends

722
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:14,760
for AJ right now. I think it is because Darren

723
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:19,239
doesn't even want to be in college because of whatever reason.

724
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,079
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

725
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's his camp, I don't know,

726
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,719
if it's him, whoever.

727
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 3: Is influencing him.

728
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 4: It's it's it's really it's a really bad look he

729
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:32,920
he is surrounding himself with with consultants. And I'll give

730
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,440
a little bit of grace. Carmelo bring up, brings up

731
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,599
a good point. They should just let these guys go

732
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:39,119
to the NBA.

733
00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 3: They should. They should just let him go to the NBA.

734
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,760
If they're good enough, let him go to the NBA.

735
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 6: Here's where I take issue with the injury argument from

736
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,519
Darren Peterson saying, oh, well, he really is injured and

737
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:52,559
they don't want to release it. Okay, first of all,

738
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,280
if you go out and you tell us, because I know,

739
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,159
universities have this weird thing where like if they I mean,

740
00:35:58,199 --> 00:36:00,920
it's like it's like Curson over the radio if they

741
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,280
release what a guy's injury is. And well, in this case,

742
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,840
I think it would help because you'd have a lot

743
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,400
of scouts yep, who were like, because again, these scouts

744
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,880
are gonna figure it out when he goes to do

745
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,880
medical in a few weeks anyway. But the point that

746
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:14,559
really keeps coming to my mind when it comes to

747
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:16,480
Darren Peterson and the potential for injury.

748
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:18,159
Speaker 3: You guys remember Paalo ban Carroll.

749
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, remember when Palol Mncarroll was in college and they're like, okay, hey,

750
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,039
by the way, Palo has this really weird condition where

751
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:28,400
like he loses seven pounds a game because he just

752
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,119
has a weird condition and like a heavy sweater, right,

753
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:33,519
and he just it's a struggle for him. He's working

754
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,880
through it. But they were upfront about us, how's Palo

755
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,400
Bancaro doing. He busts out of the league, I don't

756
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,079
think so, he's killing it in the NBA. So I

757
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,639
don't buy the argument that it's like, well, it's a

758
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:46,079
really serious thing and we're afraid that if we tell

759
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:49,639
everyone that then he'll be looked at differently. Well, first

760
00:36:49,639 --> 00:36:52,440
of all, he's gonna get viewed by NBA docks here

761
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,920
in a couple months anyway. And second of all, you

762
00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:57,719
have a recent precedent for a guy who was open

763
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,079
and honest about his injury and nothing bad happened to him.

764
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 3: So when then you again, and I'm.

765
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 6: Inferring this, but randomly, all of a sudden this weekend,

766
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,039
now guys are setting well and not even that Bill self.

767
00:37:11,079 --> 00:37:12,800
I don't know if you guys saw this, but Bill

768
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,400
self kind of broke a little bit last week when

769
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,199
he was like, hey, I thought Darren was good to go,

770
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,559
and then he subbed out of the game.

771
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: That's what he said in.

772
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 6: The game last I thought he was in on it

773
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,960
until that moment. That's well, I think he is in

774
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:25,719
on it. I think he's been doing the pr I

775
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,840
think he broke. What he said was we've had this

776
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,199
happen more than a couple times. I didn't anticipate that

777
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:30,599
at all.

778
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 3: Tonight.

779
00:37:31,039 --> 00:37:33,039
Speaker 6: I thought he was good to go. We only got

780
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,239
eighteen minutes out of him. That's disgusting. He could have

781
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,440
had a big night and then you had counsel a

782
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,719
couple of days later reference quote unquote odd energy in

783
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,360
the locker room. So like, there's clearly something happening. And

784
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,360
if it was just injuries, I don't think that either

785
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,119
one of the players or the coaches would have an

786
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:57,000
issue with it. But by not saying what's going on, whatever,

787
00:37:57,039 --> 00:37:59,360
the real issue is, just come on, say man, hey,

788
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,400
college is just not my favorite thing in the world. Man,

789
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:03,320
I just want to go to the league. But when

790
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,800
you don't say anything, then it makes everybody guess. And

791
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:09,280
how about this, If I have to guess the guy

792
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,440
who has problems that I don't know about or the

793
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,840
guy who's absolutely killing it and played forty minutes a night,

794
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:15,519
I'm gonna take aj to bonds.

795
00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:17,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even if you wanted to, you know, like

796
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:19,639
I said, I would have a lot of respect to it, Like, look,

797
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,559
we have a great team, and yeah, we're load managing.

798
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,239
I'm gonna tear this NC double A tournament up. I

799
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,000
am big shot Bob of college basketball. I'm taken over

800
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,960
the NCUBLEA tournament. Just wait, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

801
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,480
It's gonna be a show. It's gonna be a movie.

802
00:38:38,559 --> 00:38:42,039
If you give me that, I'm like, all right, hallelujah.

803
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:48,079
The biggest tournament in the world by many standards, it's

804
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:52,320
gonna be driven by this conversation of DMP and he's

805
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,840
gonna come out and play a whole lot of minutes.

806
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 3: So give me that.

807
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm down with it, I really am. But

808
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,840
the problem is he doesn't really have a good pr

809
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:09,760
PR team. He just doesn't let's go to let's go

810
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,519
to break. Great great segment there, huge win for BUYU.

811
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,239
Get you back on the right track. Now, let's hope

812
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,199
they continue to finish strong. Is this sustainable for aj

813
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,400
to play forty minutes a game? Is it sustainable? I

814
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,199
mean he's showing for like what four consecutive games, he's

815
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:31,119
playing forty minutes. Is it sustainable? To be determined because

816
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:33,000
he says if they need me to play forty minutes,

817
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:34,800
I'm gonna play forty minutes. We'll get to that sound

818
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,559
bite later on. But that's your nitty gritty brought to

855
00:41:21,519 --> 00:41:22,920
There's BYU basketball team.

856
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:23,559
Speaker 3: It's tricky.

857
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 4: There's BYU AJ versus Darren Peterson, NBA Draft slot conversation

858
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,320
and DNP his situations is a bit tricky. Ronald thinks

859
00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:38,920
that DNP is not even injured. He's never been injured.

860
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,639
He just likes to load manage for fun, for funsies.

861
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,800
I believe he has always had the plan to ball

862
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,199
out in March when it mattered most, when his payday

863
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,119
will be coming. Let's be honest, Kansas is a really

864
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:57,880
good basketball team without Darren Peterson, right? Can we all

865
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,880
agree on that? Are they a really good basketball team?

866
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,559
Are they a top twenty basketball team without Darren Peterson?

867
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 3: I think they are.

868
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,079
Speaker 4: I think they're a top twenty five at worst team

869
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:11,599
without Darren Peterson. With Darren Peterson, that team Verrewell could

870
00:42:11,639 --> 00:42:15,119
go to an Elite eight Final four, even a national

871
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,440
championship game and we'll see how please. I think he's

872
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,719
gonna play his best ball here in the final month

873
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,519
of college basketball, mark my words. And it will create buzz,

874
00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:28,199
it will create propaganda, it will create debate, and you're

875
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,800
gonna see flip floppers. You're gonna see people that said

876
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:34,320
I'm all in on AJS number one flip flopped back

877
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,400
to Darren Peterson as the number one overall pick because

878
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,719
he is still the best scorer in college basketball per

879
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,960
minute played, just like Hadeem is one of the best rebounds.

880
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,280
You were pulling up a stat at that he by

881
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,320
the way, brought to you by Batterwealth. Batterwell dot Com

882
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,320
hadem Boom one of the best rebounders per minute played.

883
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 3: What is he at right now?

884
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,599
Speaker 6: He's he has so again, I told you he had

885
00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:56,800
ten rebounds and played seventeen minutes. If he was averaging

886
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,360
per forty minutes, he has thirteen rebounds. Unreal, how many

887
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,360
thirteen rebounds per forty minutes?

888
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,079
Speaker 7: That's crazy crazy?

889
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great.

890
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:10,679
Speaker 4: Uh, phenomenal rebounder, Darren Peterson. Did you pull up Darren

891
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:12,199
Peterson's points per minute play?

892
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 3: I didn't, but I won't pull that up.

893
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,519
Speaker 4: See, I bet you he's probably number one in college basketball.

894
00:43:17,199 --> 00:43:19,639
I mean, Boozer maybe up there too. I know AJ's

895
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,320
up there, but permitted played, I think Darren's probably the

896
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,639
best in college basketball. And that's one of the reasons

897
00:43:24,639 --> 00:43:29,000
why he'll still he'll still be number one on many boards.

898
00:43:29,639 --> 00:43:31,880
But let's get back to the sound and get into

899
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,239
more questions running this bo U men's basketball team. Get

900
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,800
get getting back to k Why Kevin Young? Postgame? What

901
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,719
a win over I will stay. You could feel the juice,

902
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,880
the energy coming out of K. Why's answer is Kevin?

903
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,199
How impactful was that he's performance against the Cyclones?

904
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean had he is a warrior.

905
00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 8: Man, and he's got a knack for rebounder. He's an

906
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:52,679
unbelievable rebounder. He just knows, has a nose for the ball.

907
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,039
He's a he's a highly highly competitive young man. And

908
00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:00,960
you know, sometimes you can't put a stat on energy

909
00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:03,199
and how it permeates the group.

910
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 7: You know, that's why everybody was losing their mind in

911
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:06,039
that moment.

912
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 8: It led to the dunk I believe, and so you know,

913
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,719
when when having to re kind of like you know,

914
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,079
refined your group, When when something like that happens to Richie.

915
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:20,119
Now like I'm a Silver Linings guy. Okay, now we're bigger,

916
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,440
we're a little bit more athletic. We got we have

917
00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:26,119
been a little bit uh you know, more length, which

918
00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:28,719
really does a lot on the on the defensive end, right,

919
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,159
And so he's been a guy that's been able to

920
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:33,239
come in and give us some some some huge minutes.

921
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 4: Everyone's a big fan Hadeem. How impactful was Sudim's performance?

922
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,639
Do you think, guys, uh, is this are people feeding

923
00:44:44,679 --> 00:44:47,360
off him or teammates feeding off of him defensively and

924
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,880
on the rebounding end and then thus maybe transitioning that

925
00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:52,280
energy to the offensive end.

926
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 6: You thing, I wonder if Hadem is one of those

927
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,519
where like you're sitting there and Hadeem makes you want

928
00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:00,599
to play.

929
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:03,519
Speaker 3: Better, because I think we agree if BYU.

930
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:08,159
Speaker 6: Loses this Iowa State game, I think morally, mentally, emotionally, like.

931
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,679
Speaker 3: I think the season's over.

932
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 6: Had you lost that many in a row and then

933
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,960
you lose that one at home? Yeah, I mean it

934
00:45:15,199 --> 00:45:17,960
even at the end of the game right before Arizona

935
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,639
State or Iowa State, they looked like they were pretty depleted,

936
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:25,280
even though again they came up close. But it Fatif

937
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,880
and it just looked like emotionally you didn't know how

938
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,599
much they were in it. I think when you see

939
00:45:31,639 --> 00:45:34,639
Hadem play and you're in a fifty to fifty spot

940
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:36,280
of like should I give.

941
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 3: That extra gear or should I just coast?

942
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 6: You see Hadem and you go, man, if a Deem

943
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:43,880
can give it, I want to be right there with

944
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,239
him because he just makes playing the game look so fun.

945
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 3: Okay?

946
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 4: Why what works so well with me Hilo and Knark's performances.

947
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,199
Speaker 8: I had to be said about opportunity, you know, and confidence, right,

948
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,440
and you know, those of the guys understand that you know,

949
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,519
with Richie out now that they're gonna their numbers are

950
00:46:01,519 --> 00:46:03,480
gonna get called more. I think there's a little bit

951
00:46:03,519 --> 00:46:08,480
of mental like I don't want to say Clairey, but

952
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:10,800
just a deep breath, lay, okay, Like I don't have

953
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:11,360
to press as.

954
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 7: Much because I know the ball is gonna come to

955
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:13,199
me more.

956
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: You know.

957
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 8: With my Hi Low, I think he understands he's going

958
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,559
to play more minutes, and so it's I think it's

959
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:19,239
a little bit easier to get into a rhythm when

960
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,400
you kind of have that mindset. But at the same time,

961
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,119
you know they they get all the credit because they've

962
00:46:26,119 --> 00:46:28,000
stayed ready and they've they've been able to deliver.

963
00:46:30,039 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, my high low hit is first, and I think

964
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,519
his last three points out he was two of eight,

965
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:34,599
five rebounds.

966
00:46:34,639 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: He's got to reduce the turnovers.

967
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 4: He's still a little bit sloppy with you know, how

968
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,119
he distributes the basketball and how he handles the basketball.

969
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,519
Speaker 3: Can't turn the ball over, can't get tight up.

970
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: You're too big, you're too strong. You can't get you know,

971
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:48,639
get get tied up. He's easily yet four fouls. He's

972
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:50,840
gonna get there. We need him to step up. Obviously,

973
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,719
you need Cannar Davis Junior also step up. He was

974
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,119
three of eight from the three point line and six

975
00:46:55,199 --> 00:46:57,679
to thirteen from the field in thirty six minutes of play.

976
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,800
So you need good, good performances. You don't need great

977
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,280
performances from them in order to win. You need good performances,

978
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,840
consistent performances from them in order to.

979
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 3: Win these basketball games.

980
00:47:10,159 --> 00:47:13,199
Speaker 4: I think, well, you most impress collectively from the team

981
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,840
from a team standpoint, with their offense or their defense.

982
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,639
Speaker 3: Guys, defense is the reason they won this right game.

983
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, because again you look at seventy nine points in

984
00:47:23,159 --> 00:47:25,519
the last few games that they've played was not good

985
00:47:25,639 --> 00:47:27,880
enough to win the game. But one of the things

986
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,719
that we said about this team after rich You went

987
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,199
down was, Hey, it's a big if, but if you

988
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,000
could find a way to play better defense, you actually

989
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,679
don't need all of these guys to go for twenty points.

990
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,880
You could just have Rob and AJ play the right way,

991
00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:42,880
play defense and win the basketball game.

992
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 3: And again, Rob didn't even play score that well in

993
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,119
this game.

994
00:47:46,159 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 6: But because you played such great defense, so much more

995
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,960
improved from pretty much any other game you played this year,

996
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,679
That's why you won this game.

997
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 4: I think both your two point and three point shots

998
00:47:56,639 --> 00:48:01,400
defensively were way more effectively contest in this game. They

999
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,880
had their they and and when they had open looks,

1000
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,159
it seemed like the contested shots maybe changed the mechanics

1001
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,119
of their uncontested shots, you know what I mean. There

1002
00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:12,360
was a little bit of an effect there where they

1003
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,760
they they just were off a little bit. They couldn't

1004
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,559
get into a group, couldn't get into a rhythm at

1005
00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:20,039
the Merritt Center. So because they were thirty three, it's

1006
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:22,599
not like they shot horrifically. They were forty three percent

1007
00:48:22,639 --> 00:48:24,920
from the field, thirty three percent from the three point line,

1008
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,000
and seventy nine percent. They got nineteen attempts from the

1009
00:48:27,039 --> 00:48:29,960
charity stripe uh and and I guess those nineteen attepts

1010
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,679
probably kept them in the game a little bit more

1011
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,639
than they should have with so many miss two's, and

1012
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,519
but not not a poor shooting night at thirty three

1013
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:39,760
percent from the three point line. Let's get back to

1014
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,159
the sound k Y Kevin Young, what were your emotions

1015
00:48:44,199 --> 00:48:46,960
after taking down the number sixteen. I was stayed you

1016
00:48:47,039 --> 00:48:48,639
pointed to some of the crowd and had a moment

1017
00:48:48,639 --> 00:48:49,679
with the rock after the game.

1018
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's an emotional game. It is, you know.

1019
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 8: I try to stay even kill the best I can.

1020
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 7: But I'm not gonna lie.

1021
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 8: It's been a long couple of weeks, you know, mentally

1022
00:48:58,519 --> 00:49:00,599
and trying to keep the boy in the boat and

1023
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:03,079
trying to keep everybody focused on the task at hand.

1024
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,000
I was pointing my son, actually, you know, I told

1025
00:49:07,039 --> 00:49:08,639
him before the game we were gonna get it, you know,

1026
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,320
so I told you you know, it was fired up.

1027
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 7: But but man that I have to say that the

1028
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:15,679
rock is UH is special.

1029
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 8: It really is, Like I mean, it's that was the

1030
00:49:17,519 --> 00:49:20,280
loudest I personally ever heard this this building.

1031
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 7: It was unbelievable. You know, they do so much for

1032
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:24,679
our guys.

1033
00:49:25,039 --> 00:49:25,159
Speaker 8: Uh.

1034
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 7: The commissioner, your Mark was here.

1035
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 8: I believe it was his first time in the building,

1036
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,239
and I said, buckle up, buddy, and get ready.

1037
00:49:31,079 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 7: And they delivered in a major way. So you know,

1038
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,800
I know I'm the headed coach here. But at the

1039
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,360
end of the day, and I'm a fan of basketball.

1040
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 8: I love basketball, and I love the passion that that

1041
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:40,440
surrounds it.

1042
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 7: And I don't know if you find a more.

1043
00:49:42,199 --> 00:49:44,679
Speaker 8: Passionate fan base than b YU and they helped carry

1044
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:45,480
us to a huge win.

1045
00:49:48,039 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 3: Ok. Why hey? Was that that was Hamberton?

1046
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 4: Was that the best question asked this entire press conference?

1047
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,039
Speaker 3: Without a doubt? Who asked that question? Ronnie?

1048
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: Okay, you guys, go the gas me up, ibably appreciate you.

1049
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 3: That was a good question, my friend.

1050
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing, the reason why I asked, just

1051
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,480
to let the fans know. You gotta pay attention to

1052
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,519
the details. And I tell people this. You want to

1053
00:50:12,519 --> 00:50:14,079
if you want an answer, ask it, but you gotta

1054
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:16,800
pay attention. I saw Kevin point up to the crowd,

1055
00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:18,599
you know, And I said, like, who's he pointing to me?

1056
00:50:18,679 --> 00:50:20,400
Then the students, by the way, been are trying to

1057
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,000
storm the court and Kevin's telling him to come down, yea,

1058
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:25,280
let us do it, and you got security and everybody

1059
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,039
pushing him back up.

1060
00:50:26,039 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 2: I was like, what is going okay, I need to

1061
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:27,840
ask that.

1062
00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 5: And Kevin did the same thing last year where he

1063
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,440
said he blacked out when Canon had cannon Catchers had

1064
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,760
the A one layup. He like fires himself up, goes down,

1065
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:38,360
dabs up a fan. I'm like, I've never seen that

1066
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,840
before from a coach in a very long time, So

1067
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,480
I think these are And he's pointing to his son,

1068
00:50:42,519 --> 00:50:44,320
you know, he's fired up, telling him, hey, we were

1069
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,280
gonna get it, and he just said it. And the

1070
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,519
information director not gonna say his name, but was nodding

1071
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:51,880
his head when Kevin was giving his reply. And I

1072
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,880
think you can say that this team has maybe have

1073
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,519
a relief of they have finally a breadth of fresh air.

1074
00:50:57,519 --> 00:51:00,440
Been they were one in six against ap top sixteen

1075
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,159
teams there now two and sixty. They couldn't get the

1076
00:51:03,159 --> 00:51:05,199
monkey off their back. That was a narrative evolved. They

1077
00:51:05,199 --> 00:51:07,159
can't win the big games. They can't hope they got

1078
00:51:07,199 --> 00:51:09,760
this great player, but he's supposed to be this great

1079
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,280
coach and they finally did that. So I'm great buy

1080
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,400
his thing. I'm grateful that we have Kevin Young beIN.

1081
00:51:14,639 --> 00:51:16,800
You know why he gives honest answers. I don't know

1082
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,280
if any of the coach would have been that honest

1083
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,079
about the emotions. And I'm and I appreciate him saying that.

1084
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,119
Speaker 4: I think you could tell individually that Kaby took a

1085
00:51:25,199 --> 00:51:27,199
lot of pride in this game, and there's a lot

1086
00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:29,000
of motion invested. So I think that's why it was

1087
00:51:29,039 --> 00:51:31,400
a very good question because you could sense it, you

1088
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:31,960
could see it.

1089
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 3: It was tangible.

1090
00:51:33,119 --> 00:51:36,079
Speaker 4: There was a ton of competitive fire bursting out of

1091
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:39,039
him over the last four games, and he's like, I'm

1092
00:51:39,119 --> 00:51:42,199
going to I'm going to who's manifesting. He's like, this

1093
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,119
is when I coached my best games, this is when

1094
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:46,119
I coached my best ball, and he went hands on,

1095
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,400
He's done a really good job.

1096
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 3: And honestly, we're gonna get to a couple of these.

1097
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 4: Last sound bites where he discusses how many more play

1098
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,880
calls he got involved in. He was calm place, he

1099
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,639
was way more involved schematic Lee in every.

1100
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,039
Speaker 3: Single set, every single set.

1101
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 4: So let's get to number six real quick, coach, what

1102
00:52:06,519 --> 00:52:08,320
led to the thirteen to zero run at the end

1103
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:09,079
of the first half.

1104
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,119
Speaker 3: Stops?

1105
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 7: That's really it.

1106
00:52:11,079 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 8: You know, we our defense has been a little up

1107
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,480
and down, you know, so I thought our defense allowed

1108
00:52:16,519 --> 00:52:18,480
us to get out and transition play a little. I mean,

1109
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,559
their their half court defense as good as it gets

1110
00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:22,199
in the country, right, So we wanted to We want

1111
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,880
to open the game up as best as we could,

1112
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,320
and it's hard to do that if you're not getting

1113
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,159
stops and rebounds.

1114
00:52:27,519 --> 00:52:28,679
Speaker 3: Got to get them stops.

1115
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 4: Kevin, was there an emphasis on getting downhill and attacking

1116
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,280
the paint.

1117
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 7: I thought we were able to.

1118
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,199
Speaker 8: You know, they make it really hard for you to

1119
00:52:36,199 --> 00:52:38,199
turn the corner and pick and roll because they're blitz

1120
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,400
and everything. So thought, I thought we did a decent

1121
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,840
job of bringing the right guys up in there so

1122
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,360
we could turn the corner. You know, our Aj and

1123
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,199
Rob did a good job of just manipulating their coverages

1124
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,920
and stuff like that. But you know, AJ's ability to

1125
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,440
cover so much ground I think was beneficial. And then

1126
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,559
you know Rob was able to break the breakthrough that

1127
00:52:57,599 --> 00:52:58,280
coverage as well.

1128
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,639
Speaker 7: Fine, guys, So you.

1129
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:02,079
Speaker 8: Know one thing that I think deserves mentioning with with

1130
00:53:02,159 --> 00:53:05,159
Rob and AJAM mean again, they both played forty minutes

1131
00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:08,599
each and against the team who has the highest turnover

1132
00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:11,480
percentage defensively in the country, and they had thirteen assists

1133
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:12,280
and three turnovers.

1134
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,119
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's why that and I mean that

1135
00:53:14,199 --> 00:53:15,239
in the rebound is why we.

1136
00:53:15,199 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 3: Won the game. Bottom line.

1137
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:19,639
Speaker 4: One of the things I want to point out to

1138
00:53:19,679 --> 00:53:22,840
BA fans and I got. I got like some some

1139
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,000
negative feedback when I tweeted out something effective. We have

1140
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:29,480
never had a point guard like Rob right the third

1141
00:53:29,639 --> 00:53:32,199
and BAU basketball history. I remember, I got a bunch

1142
00:53:32,199 --> 00:53:33,920
of people saying like, yeah, we have, We've had even

1143
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:34,360
better ones.

1144
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, guys, you got to realize what I'm saying here.

1145
00:53:37,559 --> 00:53:43,280
Speaker 4: The blitzcheits those doubles from on the perimeter that Iowa

1146
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,639
State was executing. There has never been a point guard

1147
00:53:47,639 --> 00:53:50,639
in BYU basketball history, nor a point forward in BOA

1148
00:53:50,639 --> 00:53:53,559
basketball is that is able to dribble through that. We've

1149
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:57,039
never had that. That's why we won that. That's why

1150
00:53:57,079 --> 00:53:59,840
we're able to get through that because Aj and Rob,

1151
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,679
how many times did you see them get pushed almost

1152
00:54:03,679 --> 00:54:07,039
to like half court, bending around that to get through

1153
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:08,000
the opposide.

1154
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 3: Of the court.

1155
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:11,679
Speaker 4: Nobody else in bo your basketball history could do that.

1156
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,159
I don't care how name somebody. I'm like, maybe Danny, Okay,

1157
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,239
I'll take Danny's one of those guys because he was

1158
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:23,599
so athletic and so fast, Yes, But other than that,

1159
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,119
like the other guy that maybe possibly because he's a

1160
00:54:27,159 --> 00:54:30,480
big body and he's pretty fast and athletic. Maybe Kyle Collinsworth,

1161
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,239
the triple double king play in the NBA for a minute,

1162
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,559
obviously had the athleticism. But like you have very few

1163
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,800
to choose from. Rob Wright is literally like as close

1164
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,000
to like a Tim Hardaway basketball player as you can find.

1165
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,639
Speaker 3: He's very fleet of food, very fast, aj.

1166
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,079
Speaker 4: Covers you heard kay Y say, he covers so much

1167
00:54:52,199 --> 00:54:54,119
ground and he's twitchy.

1168
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,159
Speaker 3: That's hard to find, you don't.

1169
00:54:56,199 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 4: You don't get that, No, no, no, no, no no no

1170
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:00,679
no no no.

1171
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,519
Speaker 2: And Tyler was just physical getting into the paints.

1172
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 3: No no, no. Tyler was not a handler of the rock.

1173
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 4: He was a catch and shoot player, right hand dominant.

1174
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:12,760
One of the best scores in by basketball history, not

1175
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,119
off the bounce though not off that. Tyler was not

1176
00:55:15,199 --> 00:55:17,760
an off the bout scorer. He could get to the

1177
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,920
free throw line pretty good because he'd get foul and

1178
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,119
he's a big body, strong body, great great frame. But

1179
00:55:23,199 --> 00:55:25,679
they would run like Steph Curry type of sets. If

1180
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,679
you go back and watch his mixtape, he's coming off

1181
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:28,239
like three or.

1182
00:55:28,159 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 3: Four screens, just running everywhere.

1183
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 4: Anyway, Like no one is like AJ and and and

1184
00:55:34,079 --> 00:55:36,159
Rob in that regard. So anyway, I just wanted to

1185
00:55:36,199 --> 00:55:39,360
kind of point that out, and I think you heard

1186
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,400
it from k Y there, Like it's just how unique

1187
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,519
it was to you know, Rob didn't have a great

1188
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:51,320
night offensively. I agree with the hammer, but how many

1189
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,920
turnovers did he have? I don't know how many turnovers

1190
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:59,559
did he He did dribble through those doubles a lot.

1191
00:56:00,119 --> 00:56:02,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was big time. That was big time.

1192
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 4: That was huge having those guys as much as they

1193
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:09,159
handled the rock and not turn the ball over and

1194
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:14,239
not get just completely gobbled up by those blitzes.

1195
00:56:15,119 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 3: Man.

1196
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,519
Speaker 4: Great job by both of them. Kevin, it looked like

1197
00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:20,920
you were call more plays against Iowa. Say was that

1198
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,559
a byproduct of the opponent?

1199
00:56:23,079 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1200
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 8: No, great question and great observation they I mean there,

1201
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,440
And I did the same thing against Houston as well,

1202
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,440
because what I've noticed now that i'm you know, I'm learning,

1203
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,920
I'm still learning on on on the college front, right

1204
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,960
and and there's certain teams.

1205
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: Like the way they play, in the way Houston.

1206
00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:40,679
Speaker 8: Plays, and this blew my mind when I first got

1207
00:56:40,679 --> 00:56:43,119
this job, like you could never do that in the NBA.

1208
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 7: Ever, teams would carve it up.

1209
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,039
Speaker 8: And so what I've learned is college players can't, right,

1210
00:56:50,119 --> 00:56:51,960
and so there's certain things that if you just do

1211
00:56:52,039 --> 00:56:53,840
what you normally do, IS's not gonna work. And so

1212
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,599
they were very very specific things we were trying to get.

1213
00:56:57,159 --> 00:56:59,760
They took their credit, they still made it very difficult

1214
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,559
for to get some of that stuff. But that's what

1215
00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:04,760
went into that. And I thought our guys for the most.

1216
00:57:04,519 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 7: Part did it.

1217
00:57:05,079 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 8: Did it you know, good, not great. There's definitely things

1218
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,280
that we could have cleaned up. But that that's that's

1219
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:10,280
why I did it like that.

1220
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 4: Schematically, man, Look, I think there's a fine line as

1221
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,840
a coach calling plays, especially in a free flowing Obviously

1222
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,199
in football you caught plays right like it's like very

1223
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,000
few times. And in football do you just let a

1224
00:57:27,039 --> 00:57:29,320
two minute offense just run out and have your quarterback

1225
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,719
run everything right. But in basketball there's a nuanced dance

1226
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,400
to it. How often do you let guys play basketball

1227
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,360
get into their motion offense? Uh, make plays be athletes?

1228
00:57:42,559 --> 00:57:46,800
And how often are you calling calling plays right? And

1229
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:51,239
and that's a difficult thing. Ky decided in this game

1230
00:57:51,639 --> 00:57:54,320
he was gonna be much more involved, and that's that's

1231
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,000
a tough thing to do because there's gonna be much

1232
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,840
more accountab accountability on your shoulders in your head, especially

1233
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,480
when you go back to the players. If they had

1234
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,440
a bad night, an off night and they're not getting

1235
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,239
those looks that they thought they would and it's not working,

1236
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,199
all of a sudden, you kind of undermine your own

1237
00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:08,239
credibility as a coach.

1238
00:58:09,199 --> 00:58:11,039
Speaker 3: But right there after that game, you're like.

1239
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:18,079
Speaker 4: Balloer, ball noer, Right, it doesn't always work out that way. Preparation,

1240
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,000
that opportunity, and the opportunity was seized by this college

1241
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:26,679
basketball team that Uh, I mean, look great, look fantastic. Lastly,

1242
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,360
and Kevin, are there any silver linings from the Iowa

1243
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:31,920
State game?

1244
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:36,119
Speaker 8: I just think they believe right, And there's just so

1245
00:58:36,239 --> 00:58:39,639
much Uh, that's so powerful when a group believes in themselves,

1246
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,239
you know, you know, I try to pour that.

1247
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 7: Belief into them the best that I can.

1248
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 8: And look, when you have you know, we have we

1249
00:58:47,519 --> 00:58:50,360
have toughness, we have we have rebounding.

1250
00:58:51,039 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 7: You know, we take care of the ball.

1251
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 8: You know, shot making is gonna be probably the thing

1252
00:58:55,559 --> 00:58:57,679
that that that ultimately makes or breaks this.

1253
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,639
Speaker 7: But then you have dynamic guys like like a J

1254
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:01,159
and Rob.

1255
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 8: So when you have all that stuff and you got

1256
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,719
a chance to beat anybody in the country, you know,

1257
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,559
and this this team is really good.

1258
00:59:07,719 --> 00:59:08,599
Speaker 7: I think they're They're a.

1259
00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 8: Final four caliber team along with other teams that we've

1260
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:15,360
been right there with. So I'm excited to see our

1261
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,159
guys uh confidence level and how that builds on each other.

1262
00:59:19,239 --> 00:59:21,239
You know, I know every year is different, obviously, but

1263
00:59:21,639 --> 00:59:23,360
you know, towards the end of last year, you know,

1264
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,360
we hit our stride kind of at the right time.

1265
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:26,960
So you know, you're hopeful that you can kind of

1266
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,519
do the same thing this year with this group.

1267
00:59:32,199 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 4: Great stuff from k Y and a great win, no

1268
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,000
doubt about it, guys. Any of the final thoughts as

1269
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,239
