We know 36 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,719 that this Boa basketball team has been good. It just 37 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:43,480 doesn't look like they want to be good. 38 00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:47,719 Speaker 3: JT. I don't know if they really want it. There's 39 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,239 there's a lack of effort, and I think that's why. 40 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,519 Speaker 1: Bau fans are getting a little bit, uh frustrated with 41 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,000 this team. It's the effort, not necessarily anything else. 42 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like here's the thing. There are there are losses 43 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:08,919 and losses and you're gonna understand this because you know, 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,800 as someone who walked on and had to earn things, 45 00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:15,800 you know, Like, my biggest issue with this team right 46 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,560 now is how they're losing games. It's not that they're 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:25,159 losing games because they have all of the perfect excuses 48 00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:28,800 of why they're losing games. They don't have Richie Saunders, 49 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520 who's supposed to be the phase of the program. They 50 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,479 don't have Nate Dickens, who's supposed to be the backup 51 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,280 point guard and play fifteen plus minutes a game. They 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520 don't have Dawson Baker, who was supposed to be the 53 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,800 six men for this team and play fifteen to twenty 54 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:47,199 minutes a game. So I get all of that, I 55 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,960 get all that. I'm not even considering you know what 56 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,280 Brody Kraslowski could have potentially given this team, what Xavion 57 00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:58,520 Stanton could potentially give this team, although they had to 58 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,960 go and get i know, Abdullah Ahmed because Xavian just 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,599 wasn't delivering right. So it's they have all of the 60 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,840 perfect excuses. My biggest issue is where is the pride. 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,439 I'm not even talking about representing YU forget about that 62 00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:19,759 for a second, right, it's not even the Hey, you 63 00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:23,120 got to represent the program, and you know, BUYU and 64 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,680 blah blah blah. Where is the pride of being able 65 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:31,400 to say I was given an opportunity. I I'm doing 66 00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:33,960 the best of what I can with the opportunity, so 67 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680 I can earn a lot of nil money in the 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,240 portal and I can potentially earn a really big contract 69 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,719 in Europe or a long shot in a summer league. 70 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,360 That to me is baffling because Aj and Rob have 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,080 been tasked with doing the impossible and score seventy percent 72 00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:58,599 of the team's points by themselves, and because that's just 73 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:02,879 what Uyu needs right now, but the other three players 74 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:07,520 not doing everything that they can to then bring glory 75 00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,520 to themselves above anything else. Forget about Biu for a minute. 76 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,879 That is baffling to me. To see five guys standing 77 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,399 in the last possession shot of the West Virginia game 78 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:22,800 that if they grab a rebound they give themselves a 79 00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:25,759 chance to tie the game. That was crazy to me, 80 00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,360 and I think that that is the microcosm of the 81 00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:35,639 only thing I will blame Kevin Young. Kevin Young is 82 00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:41,480 how much is he holding the guys accountable behind the scenes. 83 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,480 That is the only thing I would say that is 84 00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:47,839 not super positive about Kevin because everything else then you 85 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,079 were a player. I was a player. Can you imagine 86 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,360 the amount of attention this team is getting being given 87 00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,079 the opportunity to play twenty minutes a game. What would 88 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,759 you have done, Ben, when you're a walk and someone said, 89 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Ben Critto, you're now the guy that's going to step 90 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,680 in and you're going to really show us what you 91 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,680 can do. What would you have I know what I 92 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,279 would have done. Then, you know what I would have done. 93 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,000 I know what you would have done. But please tell 94 00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:16,920 all of your listeners now that the tens of thousands 95 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600 that are with us right now, what would you have 96 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:20,079 done then? 97 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,519 Speaker 1: I mean I would have been jumping for joy, I 98 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,120 have had gratitude. I would have been I've been preparing, 99 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,879 I would have been engaged. 100 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,759 Speaker 3: All those things, right. 101 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,079 Speaker 1: I mean, I think what I described it last week 102 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:37,879 is just the lack of gratitude. When you don't put 103 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,959 effort forth, you're just not grateful to be there. You know, 104 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,800 you don't have any sort of like gratitude for life, 105 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,800 for the ability to compete and play. 106 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,199 Speaker 3: That's what I see when I see lack of effort. 107 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,879 Speaker 2: And to me, it's difficult. It is extremely difficult to 108 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,399 just not completely and orderly lose my crap because like 109 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,639 you know, I, you know, I come on your show, 110 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,120 I have a couple of other contracts of being media, 111 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:14,279 you know, exposed to the public. It is difficult to 112 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:18,120 stay positive, Like why can't you just play hard? Why 113 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,800 are you not diving for loose balls? Why are you 114 00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,920 not hustling? Why are you not fighting for a fifty 115 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,639 to fifty ball? Why is the other team always getting 116 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,879 it to me de fight that effort, not having that 117 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,319 been It's it's pretty to me. I don't want to 118 00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:37,439 say embarrassing, because I'm not embarrassed, but it's pretty sad 119 00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:42,519 to see right a program a university that you know, 120 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,639 there were you know, blood sweat and tears dropped and 121 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,240 fought and it's you know, and I will say this, 122 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,639 you know, I blame to me, the biggest corporates are 123 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,160 the players Kevin Young. Is that Like I said, The 124 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 only thing is I wish I could know how much 125 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,399 he's holding them accountable on the back, behind the scenes. 126 00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:06,240 But to me, Ben, this is all by product of 127 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,040 the system we're in, of the nil of the lack 128 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,759 of continuation, which that's not Buyu's fault, Kevin Young's fall 129 00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:16,480 or the player's fault. That's just the truth of the matter. 130 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,360 Is players enter the portal and they will trade the 131 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,199 teams every year. They are chasing a bag, which you 132 00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:26,759 can blame them because this is life altering money for 133 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,199 a lot of them. But it's it's it's a it's 134 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,000 an interesting dynamic to know where we are. And uh, 135 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,879 you know, not all of the players will own up 136 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,199 the BUYU mantra. You know, prop to AJ, like AJ 137 00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:47,199 didn't have to do like a third of what he's 138 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,360 doing showing BYU love. But you know what he is 139 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:55,120 doing with the AJ Foundation and everything he's doing. Even 140 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480 if somebody says, oh, that's just for optics, he didn't 141 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,720 even have to do that. Well, you know, I just 142 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:06,560 wish the level of commitment of every player was, you know, 143 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,040 for us to be able to say, you know what 144 00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:11,120 they're losing, but these guys are playing hard. We're not 145 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,279 even seeing that right now. 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the effort is is what's so frustrating. 147 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,000 And and b YU fans they're losing their patients right 148 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,279 and they're losing hope. 149 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:26,319 Speaker 3: What's the expectation. 150 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: Right now for this BAU basketball team. How many more 151 00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:32,639 games can they actually win when they're playing in this 152 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:33,600 form and fashion. 153 00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think I think there's different ways 154 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,799 that you can tackle this right as you there's different 155 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,080 ways that you can you can peel the onion right, 156 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,120 and so you know it's to me, I think it's missing, 157 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:53,279 you know, just the intensity on defense. Offensively, the ball 158 00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:57,240 is just not moving very well. And so you know, 159 00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:59,600 there are different things that you can point out to Ben. 160 00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:02,320 But you know how many times been would Bronco come 161 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,000 to you guys and say, guys, as long as we 162 00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:06,799 play hard, we're gonna win this game. Like you know 163 00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,799 what I mean, Like that happens to us all the time. 164 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,159 Dave Rose would say, as long as we play hard, 165 00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:13,480 we're going to win this game. And I get it's 166 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:17,600 the Big Twelve. We've never seen any of this. The 167 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:22,799 level of basketball we're seeing is crazy. But you know, again, 168 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,279 I have a hard time thinking that if YU plays 169 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,840 a little bit harder, they win a West Virginia. If 170 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,600 they play a little bit harder, they probably give themselves 171 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:34,159 a chance to win at Oklahoma State. If they play 172 00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:36,879 a little bit harder, they don't get beaten by you 173 00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:41,240 know which, Let's be realistic here, you know, losing by 174 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,480 thirteen by UCF. That game was over as soon as 175 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,279 the second half started, and so you know, to me, 176 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:51,440 it all comes out to effort and all of the others, 177 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,679 you know, strategies at this point, you got to throw 178 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,440 them out the window. 179 00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan da Bernard talking to him the YU Basketball here 180 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,600 on your Utah ESPN Radio network. I think that the 181 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,159 individual that that people are perplexed by right now is 182 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,399 rob right the third I think, if you're gonna but 183 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,960 even Keba right, Keba looks a little bit like, I 184 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,679 don't know, just not as engaged. Now that could be 185 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,399 injury related, but just not as high intensity, and it 186 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:27,279 kind of rubs off on everybody else, like who are 187 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,320 the energizer buddies, who's supposed to lead? 188 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: Who are the leaders? 189 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the biggest issue right now is there's not 190 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,879 true leadership on this roster and therefore the lackadaisical efforts 191 00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,639 are being showcased game in, game out, and there's a 192 00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:44,399 lack of consistency of execution. 193 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, what I would say then is, you know a 194 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,519 lot of people are disappointed with Robert Wright. I think 195 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,679 he's going through a slump. You know what I mean, 196 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,919 I think more more than anything, what I'm disappointed the 197 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,679 most is, you know, Mahilo had an incredible showing against 198 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,080 Iowa State, Like incredible showing. Well, why haven't we seen 199 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,320 the Mahilo all season? Like, you know, is it the 200 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,120 fact that a broken clock is right twice a day? 201 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,919 You know? With Kostitch Coastitch came to BYU was such 202 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,559 amount of hype, you know about shooting and scoring. We 203 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,720 just haven't seen that, you know. I'm an Abdullah, I'm 204 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,279 at it coming from the G League like he was 205 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,639 playing against pros day in and day out, what like, 206 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,399 you know, and now he's playing against college kids, Like 207 00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:44,919 where's the upside? And you know, like we can go 208 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,200 on and on, right, Cornard Davis being inconsistent. My main 209 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,399 thing with Cornard is I wish we could see the 210 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,440 level of engagement because when he is engaged, I think 211 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,399 he's very very good, very very very very very good. Right, 212 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,919 And you know, I I that's my thing. And then 213 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,080 you know, Hadem I think a dem is doing the 214 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,639 best he can as just a true freshman. Right. But 215 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,440 again to your point, I think it goes beyond Robert Wright. 216 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,879 Although to be fair, Rubber right, has not had a 217 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,360 really good game since. You know, I don't know if 218 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,200 it was Baylor or the game after Baylor that he 219 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,759 almost had a forty piece. But you know, like it 220 00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:36,559 has been now about two weeks or longer that that 221 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,919 Robert has had a massive game, a massive impactful game, 222 00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:43,480 And so I think there's a lot of question marks 223 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,679 about this team. Someone put it on social media, Oh, 224 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,360 this reminds me that yukon twenty ten to twenty eleven, 225 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,080 you know, the gym or year where Kimba Walker just 226 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,679 went on a tear, and that could potentially happen. Right, 227 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,559 I think at this point it's can we just get 228 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,480 through this week and next week and just get to 229 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,759 the NCAA Tournament, because I'll tell you this, Ben, If 230 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:15,320 BUYU doesn't win tomorrow in Cincinnati and they they don't, 231 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:20,799 they don't win Saturday against Texas Tech, BYU may be 232 00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:25,639 a ten or an eleven seed, And that becomes very interesting. 233 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,120 Is this seem capable of going on a running one 234 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,080 hundred percent aj is one of one best playing college basketball, 235 00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:36,440 But to climb that mountain just became really, really harder. 236 00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:38,960 And so you know, I think that we're all just 237 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,000 hoping to just get through these next couple of games, 238 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,360 get through the Big twelve Tournament, and you know, let's 239 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,720 get to the NCAA Tournament, which is what really matters. 240 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: Got to get to the NC DOUBLEA Tournament, no doubt, JT. 241 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:56,279 Do you think they win a game anywhere along the 242 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,519 end of the season, regular season, Big twelve Tournament, NC 243 00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,679 Double A Tournament. 244 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:00,399 Speaker 3: Or do you think they out? 245 00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: You know, I wish you hadn't me, Dad oh Man. 246 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,440 I will say this, Bean, because you were saying last time, Jag, 247 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:18,960 you're so positive. I'm gonna be positive, and I'm gonna 248 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,080 say there's somehow we're gonna be one in one, They're 249 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,080 gonna split the last two games. I think that then 250 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,320 they're gonna win one game in the Big twelve Tournament, 251 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,279 just one, and then I think that they get to 252 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,919 the Sweet sixteen. I I don't think that, you know. 253 00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:40,279 I I don't know if my excitement, you know, is 254 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,399 still caring that these guys are going to go to 255 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,279 the final four. But I will say this, Ben, If 256 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:49,879 if b Yu guts to the sweet sixteen, what a 257 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,039 special season just has been. And uh, you know, but 258 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,240 I think at this point I'm just I'm just bracing myself, man, 259 00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:58,879 because these are just not looking good right now. 260 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: The Tabinari ladies and gentlemen, the Brazilian bomber JT for three. 261 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:07,720 Make sure you're following him on X and listening to 262 00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:10,440 him on our airwaves, watching him on by u TV. 263 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:11,279 Speaker 3: JT. 264 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:15,279 Speaker 1: Appreciate you hopping on to talk to BAU basketball today. 265 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,879 Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate you and always in forever go Cooogs 266 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,320 and a big game tomorrow against Cincinnati, even bigger one 267 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,159 Saturday as the last home game and senior night. And 268 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:32,200 you know a lot of these emotions, especially for Richie Saunders, 269 00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:35,679 It's gonna be an emotional day, man, And just like 270 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,240 the game against Colorado was emotional with the Jim or 271 00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:41,399 Jersey retirement. But you know that's why these guys are 272 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:45,519 getting paid and so but always in forever, go Koogs 273 00:15:45,559 --> 00:15:47,240 and thanks for having me, Ben. Yeah. 274 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: You wonder if the only saving grace of the season 275 00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,480 would be if AJ Debontsa gets Big Twelve Player of 276 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,639 the Year because of any number of issues injuries that 277 00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:57,240 have occurred in the Big Twelve, it would that be 278 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,360 the saving grace for the season. If Aj gets the 279 00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:00,440 Big Twelve Player or the Year. 280 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,559 Speaker 2: So I think that he were he's going to get. 281 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,120 I think he will get Freshmen of the Year. I 282 00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:12,000 don't know about Player of the Year. But he leaves 283 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,320 the he leaves the country scoring, so it's hard for 284 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,480 you not to And so you know, I think there 285 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,759 are silver lines, right, you know, silver linings here that 286 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,480 you can look at.
