I really appreciate you guys having me on. 44 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,159 We're just a couple days from selection Sunday. It's a 45 00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:07,840 great time of year. 46 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 3: It is a great time of year. The best time 47 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,280 of the year. I always say the most wonderful time 48 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,520 of year is in November, right when you're in football season, basketball, 49 00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:17,360 you a little bit of soccer, NBA started up in HL, 50 00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:19,680 you know the World Series just and then. I'm a 51 00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:22,919 true sports fan. I like it all right. I'm always 52 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:25,800 locked in. I'm never bored in the offseason. But this 53 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,520 is a lot of good time for a lot of people. 54 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,639 A lot of people love the bracketologies, the march madness. 55 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,680 Still looking for that one person to get that perfect bracket. 56 00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:36,039 Still don't think that's gonna happen this year. Is just 57 00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:40,560 it's too much fluidness. And speaking of fluid, there's no 58 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,800 fluid on the Big twelfth court. But it looked like 59 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:44,639 it was because people were slipping. I had never seen 60 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,759 an led court. I love the aesthetic on television, but 61 00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,080 players were slipping left and right. They didn't like it. 62 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,439 Bray Or Mark said it last night, told insiders of 63 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,319 CBS Sports Network of the athletic of the field of 64 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,800 sixty eight and put out a statement that they're going 65 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560 to the traditional hardwood for the semi final this evening 66 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:06,639 and then the final tomorrow night. Your thoughts on just 67 00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,000 the court, have you ever seen an led court? And 68 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,759 is this a good move by the Big Twelve? 69 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: You know, I've got mixed feelings on it. I have 70 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,639 never seen the led court before and I was quite 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,520 impressed by it as well. I thought it was out 72 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,080 of a nice aesthetic on TV. Thought it was innovative, 73 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,639 and that's very Brett your mark, right, He's very cutting 74 00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:28,840 edge technology, trying to be front of the line. So 75 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,400 I appreciated the chance to see that and see the 76 00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:34,000 Big Twelve trying to do something innovative. But I do 77 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:36,639 ask myself, is there not a chance that we could 78 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,520 have had to test this more for player safety beforehand 79 00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:45,240 before implementing it and at least know that it's going 80 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,439 to work for an entire week of a Big twelve tournament? Right? 81 00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:51,199 So I don't know a mixed mixed emotions on the situation, 82 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,240 but I'm glad they're going back to the hardwood for 83 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,240 player safety and just ensuring that they likely will take 84 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,680 more time to test it in the off season. 85 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't know if this court is gonna come back. 86 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,919 A lot of fans don't want it back. Some people 87 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520 say get rid of it, keep it bad. I think 88 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560 he's over to Sam and courts. Last year, people on 89 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:11,759 television it looked like ecstatic, and then now he goes 90 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,159 to the led court loses it again. He's not batting 91 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,319 a good percentage right now when it comes to courts. 92 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:18,879 Speaker 4: No, he's not. 93 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,079 Speaker 3: You gotta get back to the Trisian. Okay, let's get 94 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,079 caught up with you before we get into, obviously the 95 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,480 bracketology of around college basketball. Give us an update. House 96 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,680 life been for you in the family really quickly. 97 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, everything's great. My wife and I are buying a home. 98 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,000 We are local to Utah, and so we're thrilled to 99 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,160 be watching BYU basketball, thrilled to be moving into a 100 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,759 new house this year. Things are great for us. 101 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,439 Speaker 5: All right, Sam, let's start off right off the top 102 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:46,759 with the Big twelve. 103 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:46,959 Speaker 4: Right. 104 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 5: Your Mark thinks that the Big twelve could get eight 105 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,120 to nine seeds in this thing. It's interesting because you 106 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,240 look at a couple of these teams like BYU and 107 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,079 Texas Tech specifically, where they're not necessarily the same exact 108 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,879 team that they were in the middle of the season. 109 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:03,439 They've had some injuries. How many teams do you see 110 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,480 from the Big Twelve conference getting into the Big Dance? 111 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 112 00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 4: Right now, I've got eight teams that will get into 113 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,000 the Big Dance from the Big Twelve, those being Arizona, Houston, Kansas, 114 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,759 Iowa State, Texas Tech, TCU, UCF, and BYU. I think 115 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,920 both West Virginia and Cincinnati did themselves a great disfavor 116 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,879 this week losing their first losing their games for Cincinnati 117 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:31,720 against UCF, for West Virginia obviously against our Baya Couters. 118 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,480 I don't think either of those teams will end up 119 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,639 making it. I think they'll be close, but they'll both miss. 120 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,600 So you should anticipate eight teams from the Big Twelve dancing. 121 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 3: Eight teams dancing BYU one of those teams in Europeon 122 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,839 is the Big Twelve the best basketball conference right now 123 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,839 in America? Brett Yormark says that the players say. He says, 124 00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:55,079 it's second to the NBA, and we know what the 125 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,360 NBA is what say you, Sam, I say. 126 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,639 Speaker 4: That that's one hundred percent correct. And if you were 127 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,639 to go compare compare conference Ken Palm ratings, it would 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,160 tell you that the SEC is the best country or 129 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,519 the best team in the country, best excuse me, conference 130 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,959 in the country. But we all know the honest truth. 131 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,959 The top end of the Big Twelve is so much 132 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,680 more legitimate than the top end of the SEC right now, 133 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,079 and just the level of basketball is on an entirely 134 00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:29,720 different different hemisphere than the SEC. The basketball's elite, the 135 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,199 top teams are extremely physical. It's challenging every night no 136 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,839 matter who you play, where you play. It's tough to 137 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,680 compete in the Big twelve, and I think the Big 138 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,600 twelves obviously, in my opinion, at least at the top end, 139 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,319 the best basketball conference in the country. 140 00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 5: Sam, your top two teams out of the Big Twelve, 141 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,839 you have Houston as a two seed and Iowa Stay 142 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,480 as a three seed. When we're talking about the national 143 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:59,360 contenders for this championship, obviously you have Duke Michigan, Arizona, Florida. 144 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,399 I forgot throw Arizona in there, But looking at Houston 145 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,240 and Iowa State, given they had some interesting losses late 146 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,120 in the season. What chance do you think Houston and 147 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,399 Iowa State have it running the table in the national Championship. 148 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that Houston's got a bit of 149 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,879 a better chance than the Iowa State. Iowa State has 150 00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:20,720 been very jaqueline high the last month or so, and 151 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,720 obviously right now they're making a crazy run in the 152 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:27,120 Big Twelve tournament, where they hammered Arizona State the other 153 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,720 day by nearly fifty points. They destroyed Texas Tech last night, 154 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:33,079 and so I'll be interested to see how Iowa State 155 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,199 looks against Arizona today. I still think that there's a 156 00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,199 chance that Iowa State could get up to a two 157 00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:39,759 seed and jump Illinois for that final two seed in 158 00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,800 my opinion, but I think Houston has the better chance 159 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,000 to run the table in to win six games starting 160 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,439 next week for a national championship. I think that's probably 161 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,439 obvious from a BYU fan perspective having seen both of 162 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,519 those teams in the Marriott Center this year. Houston is 163 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,360 just extremely extremely athletic, extremely deep, They played physical defense. 164 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,040 They're a fantastic team. Iowa State has some missing pieces 165 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,160 this year, and they've just been very inconsistent in general, 166 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:10,319 especially away from home. 167 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, Houston's interesting, right because I don't feel like they're 168 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680 as good defensively as they were last year, but you 169 00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:21,600 didn't have a Kingston Flemings last year. In terms of 170 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,680 comparing last year's Houston team to this year's Houston team, 171 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,319 do you think this year's team can compete with what 172 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,159 last year's team did and making a run? 173 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 4: That's an awesome question, and I don't know, to be 174 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,440 completely honest, You're one hundred percent right that last year's 175 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,080 team was probably better than this year's Houston team. But 176 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,720 this year's team has Kingston Flemings, which was a big 177 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,799 piece they were missing last year. So although Houston's not 178 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,759 as deep and not as good defensively as they were 179 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,120 last year, I think depending on how well Kingston Flemings 180 00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:59,279 and crew play, they could absolutely make the same type 181 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,559 of run that they last year. But I would say 182 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,679 I think it's going to be a little more challenging 183 00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:08,879 because of some of those elite one seeds Duke Michigan Arizona. 184 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,559 I just think that the level of talent is even 185 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,279 a step above what Houston has to offer. So Houston's 186 00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:16,080 gonna have to get lucky in terms of pathway. 187 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,279 Speaker 5: While we're on the subject of Houston, let's talk about 188 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440 the game that we all watched last night, which was 189 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,440 Cougar's versus Cougar's BYU versus Houston. An interesting one one 190 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,279 that you felt like BYU could have won, even though 191 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,120 I think if you would have told me that a 192 00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:35,559 month ago, not having Richie Saunders, that BYU would be 193 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,480 up at four at half the in the Big Twelve Tournament, 194 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,720 I don't think a lot of people would believe you. However, 195 00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:46,159 I do feel like that close of a loss against Houston, 196 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:49,399 given the losses that BOU had suffered in weeks prior, 197 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:52,480 even though it's not great, feels like a little bit 198 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:55,639 of a silver lining. What did you see as far 199 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,360 as even though BOU lost the game, they seemed to 200 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,559 have to put put up a better fight then maybe 201 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,320 they would have expected. What are you expecting from this 202 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,080 BYU team going into the tournament based off of what 203 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,679 you've seen for the last couple of days. 204 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would just say I think last night was 205 00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:16,159 the absolute best case scenario for BYU. Obviously, as a 206 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,080 Cougar fan, I would love to see them win the game, 207 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,440 right but in my kind of higher college basketball brain, 208 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,960 I'm thinking to myself, this is a team that's really thin, 209 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:30,679 that had struggled over the last few weeks mightily. I 210 00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:32,960 wanted them to come into the Big Twelve Tournament, win 211 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,120 two games, to be competitive in their third game, and 212 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,360 get knocked out, have an entire week of reps to 213 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,559 get ready for March Madness. And they did exactly that. 214 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,799 So they came in, they won their for two games. 215 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,960 They looked really competitive against Houston last night, and I 216 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,080 feel really good about the way that Bayu looks right 217 00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:53,960 now in terms of comparison to the last few weeks. 218 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,840 They look much more elaite. Defensively, everything since simplified. They're 219 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,879 sharing the ball well. I was really encouraged by this week, actually, 220 00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,240 and I reached a bit of a Siah of relief 221 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,879 last night when they lost to Houston because I was 222 00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:09,080 glad that they kept it competitive. I'm also glad that 223 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,679 they're going to have an entire week of rest to 224 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,159 get ready for them ad bess. 225 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: Rest is a good thing. Houston knocked them out last year, 226 00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:16,759 just to remind people, but it was in a semi final, 227 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,600 but that team was more experienced deeper, things were a 228 00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:21,480 little bit different. They had that extra day of rest 229 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,399 because they got the they got a double by, it 230 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,080 was a little bit different. And they had beat Iowa 231 00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:29,120 State in the quarterfinal, so kind of in reverse this year, Sam, 232 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,840 But yeah, they get a week's rest. I think this 233 00:11:30,919 --> 00:11:33,039 team needs the rest. You saw in that second half 234 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,799 when they weren't getting fouls called. The team just got 235 00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:39,480 tired and maybe a week off will help them. And 236 00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:42,759 obviously in between days, you play one game every other day, 237 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:44,799 having a game off in between. Because if you were 238 00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:47,120 to tell me, Sam, and I think you would agree. 239 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,440 If Houston had Tugler in foul trouble with four Flemings 240 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,639 and foul trouble with three sharp with the filming with 241 00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:56,279 for excuse me, sharp with three and Byu shoots above 242 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,879 forty percent from three and from the field, you would 243 00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,360 think by you would knock off Houston. But that wasn't 244 00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:03,039 the case. And I think that definitely was due to 245 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,279 three games and three nights. 246 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,399 Speaker 4: I agree with you. They looked, they looked a little 247 00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:08,840 tired down The stretched legs were heavy. 248 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 3: Legs definitely were heavy. But they'll get it. Speaking of, 249 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:15,519 you know, losing to Houston, where do you have them projected? Look, 250 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,600 we're gonna find out obviously on Sunday. Some people have 251 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,600 said a high of a five, some people said a seven, six. 252 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,720 Where do you have them seed wise going into selection Sunday? 253 00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:29,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know you said earlier in the show that 254 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,759 you you believe you've got the YU as locked as 255 00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,679 a sixth seed right now? Is that correct? Yes? 256 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 3: I think that. I put it on Twitter. Yeah, I'm 257 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,240 saying I think they're going to be a six and 258 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,279 hopefully go to Portland. 259 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 4: I liked it, so I wouldn't go so far as 260 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:45,240 to say that I would lock the YU into a 261 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600 six right anyway, right now, I think there's too many 262 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,559 mitigating factors I believe, but I think I have Yu's 263 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,200 a sixth seed right now, and I could see reasons 264 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,720 why the committee would put the YU as a seventh 265 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,679 seed that are out side of this Sunday play reason. 266 00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,279 There's a couple of things on ba's overall resume with 267 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,799 the team that I have questions about. The first one 268 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,279 is BYU does not have an elite level road win 269 00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:15,039 over a tournament team. They've got some of the great 270 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:18,320 neutral court wins, but the committee really loves for the 271 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,519 top seeds to see those wins away from home against 272 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,120 tournament level competition, and Boy's best win on the road 273 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,240 this year is at Baylor, and obviously Baylor's nowhere close 274 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,159 to a tournament team, and so I could see the 275 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,600 committee dinging BYU a little bit for that and their seeding. 276 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,480 I think because of that, I think it would preclude 277 00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:40,720 them from getting a five seed. So I think six 278 00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:43,759 is probably the max, and then it just depends on 279 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,919 how the committee's views. How BYU has played since the 280 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,440 Ritchie Saunders injury. Obviously they've picked up a couple of 281 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,600 big wins. At other times they have looked absolutely horrendous, 282 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,000 where I was kind of waffling between a six and 283 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,480 seven seed, and like I mentioned, was really hoping to 284 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,080 watch them this week and see some solid play to 285 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:06,399 feel like they would be put as a succeeed, And 286 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,159 I think I got that out of YU this week, 287 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,799 So I'm going to have them as a sixteed going 288 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,039 into selection Sunday. Another big factor was Kentucky playing Florida today. 289 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,039 I think Kentucky could have jumped BYU if they beat Florida, 290 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,960 but they did not, and so I'm anticipating succeed for BYU, 291 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,879 and I think they would either go to Portland to 292 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,919 be in Zagas Pod or to Oklahoma City to be 293 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,879 in Nebraskas Pod. 294 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 5: How does the committee balance what you've done for me 295 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:40,240 lately as well as comparing that to your full resume? Right, 296 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,840 because we're talking about the BYU team who played Yukon. 297 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,480 Obviously they lost that game. They go on to beat 298 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:49,960 Clemson in neutral sight, like they had a solid non 299 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,240 con but to your point, they don't have like a 300 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,679 signature road win. But then you kind of balance the 301 00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:00,159 silver lining of BYU because to your point, like they 302 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,759 looked rough without Richie Saunders and over the last few 303 00:15:02,799 --> 00:15:05,759 games they've started to figure things out. So how does 304 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,759 the committee juxtapose Okay, in the non con early in 305 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:11,799 the season, when they had all their tools, they were great, 306 00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:16,159 and their resume as a whole looks solid. However, towards 307 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,720 the end of the season, what you've done for me 308 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,039 lately doesn't look great. How does the committee go about 309 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,639 balancing both of those and what do they value? 310 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,039 Speaker 4: Well, I think there's two different ways that they go 311 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,759 about it, And the first case is if there were 312 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,799 no injuries, if the team was one hundred percent the 313 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,600 same at the beginning of the season as they were 314 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,440 at the end of the season, and I think in 315 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,919 that scenario, you just have to consider every game on 316 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,159 an equal footing. There used to be a metric that 317 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720 the committee would consider that was called last ten games, 318 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,120 and they would take a look at how teams have 319 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,879 performed in the last ten games, and they did away 320 00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:52,720 with that several years ago, saying that they didn't want 321 00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:54,679 that to influence whether a team made the tournament or not. 322 00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:56,639 They didn't want that to influence seating, and so I 323 00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:00,240 don't think that they look at recency bias in terms 324 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,240 of an overall resume, especially if a team didn't have injuries. 325 00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:07,559 In BYU situation, where there are mitigating factors in terms 326 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,960 of injuries and obviously they're not getting Richie Saunders back, 327 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,960 I think that you have to consider their non conference 328 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000 play a little less than the committee would if they're 329 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:22,200 if Richie Saunders was still playing, and you have to 330 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:27,120 really consider how BYU has played since then. For that reason, 331 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,200 I'm really going to be interested to see where the 332 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,600 Committee puts BYU and where the Committee puts Texas Tech, 333 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,039 because they're almost in opposite positions. Both lost a star 334 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,720 for the season inn acl injury. BYU looked rough really 335 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,639 early on after that injury, and they've looked pretty dang 336 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,120 good in the last week or two since figuring some 337 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,240 things out. Text Tech is the opposite where they lost JT. 338 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,080 Topham and then they looked really good after JT. Toppins injury, 339 00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:57,399 and now they look like a complete disaster and unmitigated mess. 340 00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:00,759 And so it will be interesting to see kind of 341 00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,879 how the committee evaluates those two resumes and where they 342 00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:04,480 put the teams. 343 00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of a flip or turn of the tide, 344 00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:10,119 slip of the tables. BYU has figured out that third 345 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,240 iteration per Kevin Young, that identity Texas Tech kind of 346 00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,880 looking like BYU a little bit after they lost Richie Saunders, 347 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,200 even though they both have been without their star player 348 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,160 for the same amount of time. And look, you have 349 00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:23,039 no idea Texas Tech could be without Christian Anderson. We 350 00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,599 don't know what's gonna happen with that growing injury per 351 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,640 him and Lawan Wats I think roll at his ankles. 352 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,240 So Texas Tech trending downward, not the way that they won. 353 00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:33,799 And Graham McCaslin is a good coach. I know this 354 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,839 is not what he wants. Let's let's go more into 355 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,119 BYU though. Obviously, if Iowa State wins the Big Twelve Tournament, 356 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,839 they'll move up to a two. If Houston wins, I 357 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,519 think they'll move up to a one. That's just my predictions. 358 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,920 But let's say that I always think, you know they 359 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,240 lose tonight, they stay as a three seed. BYU's a sixth. 360 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,359 Is that BYU can Zaga matchup that six to three 361 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,160 seed the best for them to get to the sweet 362 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,599 sixteen Because I'm looking at it, Nebraska, Purdue. I always say, 363 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,839 I don't know if BYU can get those other three 364 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,319 teams again, but I feel like a team in in 365 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,039 Zaga motivation old ties at WCC. Yes to be a 366 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:10,000 home game for Gonzaga, but BYU fans travel. I feel 367 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,799 like that's the most favorable matchup out of those. Out 368 00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:15,359 of the four teams you have as a three seed, 369 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:17,000 is Gonzaga the most favorable one? 370 00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:20,759 Speaker 4: Yeah? I would say there's actually a two pretty favorable 371 00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:23,519 matchups for BYU on that three seats line, and they 372 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,559 would be Gonzaga and Nebraska. Where which conveniently is most 373 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,640 likely where they're at to end up. Going Ioways stayed 374 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,119 is kind of out of the realm of possibility, and 375 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,480 that's not just because they've already played this season. I 376 00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:38,240 don't think that the committee would would consider consider that 377 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,880 as a preventative measure from having them in the same 378 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,039 pod together. But Ioway State is going to go to 379 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,599 Saint Louis as their preference TORP geographic location, and so 380 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,480 they'll be in that pod, and that pod plays on 381 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,640 Friday Sunday, So I think that kind of precludes BYU 382 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,480 from being in Iowa States pod. It could be that 383 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,400 BYU gets thrown into a pod with Perdue, but I 384 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,599 think Purdue more than likely is going to end up 385 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,359 in the East or the Midwest region in the larger bracket, 386 00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,039 and both of those played in the second weekend on Sunday, 387 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:10,279 and so I think it's very very likely that it's 388 00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:12,200 either good Zagger or Nebrasket, and I think those are 389 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,799 both actually pretty favorable matchups for BYU. 390 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:18,559 Speaker 3: Do you think that the committee moves into a seven seed. 391 00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:21,400 I've heard these talks and discussion because I think Greenville 392 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,000 I think that's Thursday Saturday, correct me if I'm wrong. 393 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,119 Do you see the committee being like, you know what, 394 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,039 let's see AJ Debonsa and Cam Boozer. Let's go ahead 395 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,559 and put a put another potential matchup. We've seen AJ 396 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,519 and Aaron Peterson, We've seen AJ versus Kingston Fleming Sanak Junior, 397 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,200 but we haven't seen AJ and Cam. Could the committee 398 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,279 move him down to a seven and have a potential, 399 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,920 you know, a matchup? If with that would Duke? Potentially, 400 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,880 I think Duke's going to be a one. But I'm 401 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,240 just throwing this out there because you know, this is 402 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,279 the things I see on Twitter. 403 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,079 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, it's a fair question, and I don't think 404 00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:55,039 there's the possibility that that could happen. I think Duke, 405 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,400 with their win last night, has walked up the number 406 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:04,039 one overall seed and Duke be playing in Greenville. But 407 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,960 I don't think that they're gonna bump BYU all the 408 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,759 way down to an eight seed and match them up 409 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:09,519 with Duke. I would highly doubt that. 410 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, not happened. Ahead to throw it out there. Look, 411 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:14,880 these are the dreams that we have but not going 412 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,680 to happen at all. Do you believe I'm not trying 413 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,319 to have you reveal your bracket way too early because 414 00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,440 it hasn't come out. Do you believe BYU would be 415 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,519 in the Sweet sixteen? Make it to the you know, 416 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,519 the next week. It feels like with the way they're training, 417 00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:26,160 they have a shot. 418 00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think I'm gonna pick b YU to the 419 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,160 Sweet sixteen this year. And I say that from an 420 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,160 unbiased perspective. I know I'm a BYU fan, but I'm 421 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,480 also an overall college basketball fan even more. But I'm 422 00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:44,599 really going to be watching even more so than the 423 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,920 matchup they get in the second round, who they're going 424 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,359 to be playing in the first round, because I think 425 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400 there's some favorable opportunities on the eleven seed line that 426 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,200 would match up with the sixth including Miami Ohio. They 427 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,839 probably wouldn't see VCU because they saw him last year, 428 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,200 and it may be one of those last four teams 429 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,640 in so it could be like an SMU or a Texas. 430 00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:08,519 I would be concerned if it was a South Florida. 431 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,319 So that's the team I would really watch out for. 432 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,319 Here in the last week of the season, a South 433 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,880 Florida wins the American and somehow gets assigned to the 434 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,599 Portland or the Oklahoma City Pod with BYU. That's a dangerous, 435 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,839 dangerous matchup for BYU, and that's one that I would 436 00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:26,119 watch out for. But if it's another one of those teams, 437 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,440 I feel like I would feel pretty good about putting 438 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,720 BYU all the way to the Sweet sixteen. 439 00:21:31,839 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 5: Sam, you've outlined a couple of times some of these 440 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:36,680 locations where the tournament are taking place. For some of 441 00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:38,759 our listeners who may not be as deep into the 442 00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:42,160 college basketball world, can you explain and give a quick 443 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,920 outline as to how they determine who's going to be 444 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,400 playing in what region and where? 445 00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah, I absolutely can't. So there's let's talk first 446 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,759 weekend and then second weekend. So first weekend is teams 447 00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,480 are placed into geographical preferences along the way one through 448 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,359 four seed lines. So the first sixteen teams in the 449 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,079 tournament get their priority in terms of which location they 450 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,440 go to, but only two teams can go to a 451 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,880 certain location from those top sixteen, and so they start 452 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,319 with the number one overall seed, and then they would 453 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,279 say Duke, their closest their closest potential POD is Greenville, 454 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,960 and they'll play Duke there. They'll then look at Michigan 455 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,759 the number two overall seed. Ins say, Michigan's closest to Buffalo, 456 00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,440 so they're going to go to Buffalo. Arizona's closest to 457 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,519 San Diego, They're going to go to San Diego. And 458 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,480 that's how they'll do it one through sixteen to determine 459 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,599 which teams go to which locations. When they then see 460 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,480 the rest of the bracket five through sixteen, they're looking 461 00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:48,319 at all of the five seeds together and putting them 462 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,400 in the most geographical preferential location of where the one 463 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,160 seeds are going, if that makes sense, so that or 464 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,519 where the four seeds are going, excuse me. And so 465 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,119 they'll look at Texas Tech, Arkansas, Saint John's, Wisconsin, and 466 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,160 who I have a five seeds and say, okay, which 467 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,799 of these teams is closest to the east, to the 468 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,759 east coast where where we're putting Virginia for example, And 469 00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:12,200 they'll match up Saint Johns in Virginia, or they'll take 470 00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:14,559 Texas Tech and say they're going to be close to 471 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,279 San Diego, so they're going to move them over to 472 00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:19,240 the San Diego region. So really it is they're trying 473 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,559 to keep geographical preference as best they possibly can as 474 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,480 they create that bracket. In terms of the second weekend, 475 00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:31,160 it's a little more challenging because teams can be placed 476 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,920 into various regions for really no rhyme or reason, and 477 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,839 there's some rules as to how many teams you can 478 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,000 put in a certain region from a conference, and so 479 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,799 it's a little more difficult. So just know that BYU 480 00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:49,920 will either be in the West or the South region, 481 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,960 and we'll be playing a Thursday Saturday game probably in 482 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,480 probably in Portland or in Oklahoma City, and does. 483 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,839 Speaker 3: Make it a little easier Oklahoma City or Portland. I 484 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,680 think they're going to Portland, let's see, kind of for 485 00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,759 BYU fans and probably trying to push that narrative BYU 486 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,240 versus agains Zagat bounced and get to Sweet sixteen BYU fans. 487 00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:12,880 I think SAM would be validated of all times of yeah, 488 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,759 the WCC, we didn't need them anymore. See we beat Gonzaga. 489 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:19,160 I kind of feel like that's what fans want, even 490 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,480 though it would be a home game. But look, hopefully 491 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,000 they you know, they get that, they get that geographical preference, 492 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:27,400 and I hope that's what happened to. Committee sees that 493 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,240 because as totality as a whole, I think BYU is 494 00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,319 well deserving and hopefully as a sixty locked up Sam, 495 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,039 we gotta let you go. We gotta go to break. 496 00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:36,720 But before we do, what's the best way we can 497 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:38,640 support you? What you do and how you do it? 498 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, please follow me at eight or one Bracketology on Twitter. 499 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,839 I love interacting with fans of all kinds and so 500 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,480 I would love to see you there. Looking forward to 501 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:50,960 the next week, I'll be in Portland, hoping BYU gets 502 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,400 matched up with in Portland. 503 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 3: Hopefully and hopefully fans will see out there. Sam, Thanks 504 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,599 for your time today. We'll let you go in a 505 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,440 enjoy a weekend and selection Sunday. Thank you guy with 506 00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:04,039 Sam Halfill. If It'll Won Bracketology, you can follow him 507 00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:06,480 on x slash twit or whatever the kids call it 508 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,960 these days at It'll Wan Bracketology. You appreciate Sam in 509 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,359 his time BYU. I think they'll be a six seed. 510 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,799 I think they'll go to Portland, and if I'm wrong, 511 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,200 happy to be wrong. But let's see. Let's hope that 512 00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:19,240 BYU gets a matchup with Gonzag. I feel like having 513 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,799 played in the Big twelve and that physicality. You get 514 00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:24,119 a WCC opponent in Zaga who's a good team. Not 515 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,079 overlooking them at all, but I think they can do 516 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,200 what they did last year and knocking off a team 517 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:31,039 like Wisconsin. The Big twelve is just built a little 518 00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:33,720 bit different. Before we go to break, gotta reminds you 519 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,759 guys about it's Bryce at Bryce Into.
