all of these weeks of college football Indiana versus Miami.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,719
I think most by fans rooting for Kirk Signetti and

22
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,560
the Indiana Hoosiers. That's kind of how I'm feeling. Very few,

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,000
minus maybe the Kielan Marion fans among Scugarnation are rooting

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,719
for the Hurricanes. Why, because obviously we love underdogs. We've

25
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:34,760
always been an underdog. We have the mentality of an underdog.

26
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:37,120
We got to chip on our shoulder. So you're rooting

27
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,640
on Indiana tonight, and it's fantastic, It's fantastic this storyline.

hopefully all of you guys have a dream. For a

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,680
better life. The MLK had a dream for a better life,

60
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:16,960
not only for himself but for the people that he led.

61
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:20,120
And so without a vision, you hear me talk about

62
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:22,919
all the time you perish in this life. And MOK

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,360
had a vision, a great vision and egalitarian type of vision,

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,000
and we are grateful, we are blessed that he was

65
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:35,479
able to effectuate and influence that vision into reality. Let's

66
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,000
also welcome into the show Brett always bringing the hammer

67

68
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: I'm so happy that bou Football posted this quote from MLK.

69
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that.

70
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,479
Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can.

71
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: Do that because at the end of the day, like

72
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,639
the reason we talk ball is because we love ball

73
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:58,039
and we want to give people who are having We

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,280
want to give people away to get away from the

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,639
hate in the darkness that goes on from a day

76
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,680
to day basis. That's what makes sports great, not because

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,759
it's the most important thing in the world, but it

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,759
helps us get away from some of the rougher things

79
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:12,960
of the world. And so I love the Baillia Football

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,160
posted that quote from Martin Luther King, because I sports

81
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:19,480
brings us together and at the end of.

82
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: The day, like that's that's the light of Jesus Christ, right.

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: Is us wanting to be together, spend time together, love

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,439
one another, understand one another. So yeah, shout out to

85
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,439
doctor Martin Luther King Junior MLK Day and uh shout

86
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:33,120
out to Billia Football for posting that quote because I

87
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,360
think it's one of the all time greats.

88
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: If you have a favorite quote from MLK, drop it

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,160
on me at crital Benjamin on Twitter. Always loving to

90
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,120
hear from kugarnation and what their favorite quotes are and

91
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:47,160
the things that inspire them to be better on and

92
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,920
off the football field. You mentioned something to me that

93
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,839
you know, it's always been impactful. Obviously, sport has taught

94
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:55,319
me so much. I think it's taught us so much,

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,639
and so we celebrate that on the daily, no doubt

96
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,560
about it. As you mentioned, it's not the most important thing,

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,680
but it's for us, it's it's it's important, right, It's

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,519
part of our community, it's a part of our our culture.

99
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,879
It's uh where we've learned the lessons of life. You know.

100
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560
One of the things that uh uh if I can

101
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,079
piggyback off of what you stated, Coach Harball, Okay, Jim

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:28,800
Horrball stated that the last bastion of toughness resides in athletics. Okay.

103
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,000
There's only a few places where young men are being

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:38,639
taught toughness and grit in this uh emasculated world that

105
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:44,120
we're living in, Okay, for for many people. Uh. And

106
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,920
it's the military, right. Uh. That's one place. Uh. And

107
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,120
and another place is in in football.

108
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

109
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:56,199
Speaker 3: They call it the the the grid iron for a reason.

110
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,639
It's Uh you talk about the fog of war in

111
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,199
foot ball, the schematics, right, The toughness, the physicality, the

112
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,279
violence of it all. It's very warlike, right. And so

113
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,839
it's a way that you can teach toughness and lessons

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,199
in life about grit, competitive nature, being your best self,

115
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,240
and also being one of eleven or one of five,

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,279
one of a team, putting other people first, putting the

117
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:26,120
team first. There's no I in team all those things.

118
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,920
So love the lessons learned in sport, and love the

119
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,839
lessons learn from those that have gone on before us.

120

182
00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:59,440
I think they dropped out to what thirteen? They were

183
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:04,000
number eleven at the time nine with the you know,

184
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,960
nine minutes left, they had a nine point lead and

185
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,799
they ended up losing eighty four to seventy one at

186
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,320
the United Supermarkets Arena, and that was an end to

187
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:18,720
a thirteen game win streak. Rob Right the third looked great,

188
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,039
fantastic game from him. The Todd King was solid, combining

189
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,879
for a dominant scoring burst in the second half to

190
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:29,039
give the Cougars a nine point lead. As I mentioned,

191
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,000
Texas Tech made its final seven shots of the game

192
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,000
to secure the wins. So number one Texas Tech went

193
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:40,399
in fuego. Number two BYU went cold and they didn't

194
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,039
probably have their best lineup of the game. They had

195
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,000
their best lineup with the season and not the best

196
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,039
lineup with the game, is what I would say. In

197
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,000
those remaining five minutes, to kind of keep it staggered,

198
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,879
keep it balanced, keep it back and forth. Rob Right

199
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,519
the third though, had a career high twenty eight points,

200
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,440
nine to seventeen shooting, and was he was unstoppable in

201
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,519
moments in this game five rebounds, three assists, and one steal.

202
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:08,120
After recording six points in the first half, rob Bright

203
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:11,159
scored a season high twenty two in the second, highlighted

204
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,559
by his nine of nine shooting from the charity stripe.

205
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,759
Saunders posted eighteen points, seven to fifteen from the field.

206
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:18,799
The senior also grabbed four rebounds, two steals in a

207
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,720
block in this In that game, and Bayu scoring came

208
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:25,240
largely in the paint, totaling forty points, with twenty four

209
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,519
coming in the first half. The Cougar's held Texas Tech

210
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:31,480
to twenty eight lane points. Guys, let's break this down though,

211
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,399
ron of the three man weaver obviously J T. Toppin

212
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,000
arguably you know, I mean, he's seniored, he's tenured. He

213
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,440
may be the best player in the conference. When in

214
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Fuego twenty seven points, twelve rebounds, and that's a very

215
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,200
good team on their home court. The fact that they

216
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,240
did not miss essentially in the in the remaining five

217
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:01,279
minutes of the game is pretty impressive. Go on.

218
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: It's electric offensive team in their building. You know, they

219
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,480
caught some rhythm. Obviously we opened it up, and then

220
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,759
they responded in a major way. And so we got

221
00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:12,759
to go back and really examine the film to see

222
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,919
exactly what happened. But you know, you know, Toppings obviously

223
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,679
a great player. He got going, it felt like in

224
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:22,320
a stretch. But but I think we we we were

225
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,600
scoring the ball really well and then it we kind

226
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,120
of got cold. So I got to do a better

227
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600
job of putting our guys in position to you know,

228
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,320
get really quality shots in the midst of runs like that.

229
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,159
And Aj was held to a season low thirteens and

230
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:35,840
I were kind of just your overall thoughts on that

231
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,480
and how he plans to bounce back in the coming games. Yeah,

232
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,440
I mean they did a good job not found you know,

233
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,639
as a physical game, some of those probably could have

234
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:45,200
gone either way. But you know, you have to give

235
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,440
them credit for not found them.

236
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: But Aj is a smart young man.

237
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:49,759
Speaker 5: He'll learn from this and he'll be better next time out.

238
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,279
Speaker 3: So that was the initial statement from Ky in the

239
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,840
post game. I think that's been the focus of many

240
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:01,720
after the skame. They found a way to slow down

241
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:04,080
Aj de Bonsla. He had a good first half. Second half,

242
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:09,159
they made adjustments. AJ had mostly just contested shots. He

243
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,480
was blocked multiple times. They didn't foul him. He was

244
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,039
not getting to the free throw line. He was not

245
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,200
receiving any calls. You can, it's up for debate on

246
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,759
whether or not you thought they should have been called

247
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,200
or or shouldn't have been called. Letting him play on

248
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:25,879
their home court, et cetera. But Aj, he struggled a bit,

249
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,399
and that's okay. He's gonna go through those trials and tribulations.

250
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,080
I was very much impressed by Hadem Boop, his defensive

251
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,159
effort when he was on the floor, by you played better.

252
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,679
Let's be honest. Hadem made the team better, everyone around

253
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:42,840
him better. Whereas AJ. You know, he was struggling a

254
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,120
little bit getting into a rhythm. Whether it was defensively,

255
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Hadeem on the on ball, the defense was ridiculous. I

256
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:53,679
was so impressed with his effort that concussion protocol that

257
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,000
he could be in right now. That's pretty devastating because

258
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:59,200
he looked to be a guy that all of a

259
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,679
sudden had confidence and was elevating his play. Uh and uh,

260
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,960
it's unfortunate that he went down when he did. Because

261
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,559
he was playing elite defense. Ronald of three Man weaver

262
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,360
your thoughts.

263
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think where the big thing will happen. Yeah,

264
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,240
that was that was huge. And even if Haidiin does

265
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440
play Ben at the end, I don't think that the game.

266
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,200
I thought I had got an out of hand already,

267
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,440
even though that was a crucial moment to maybe see

268
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,720
a by you can cut the nine lead that what

269
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,120
happened was, and Kevin Yong will mention it more here. Uh,

270
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,399
but they they out rebounded him down the stretch for sure.

271
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,080
They in that run and then they just some people online,

272
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,639
you know, say that the AJ's water turned off. I

273
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000
think the biggest thing coming into this game was the

274
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:44,000
physicality from Texas Tech on AJ not fouling, and both

275
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,679
of those go hand in hands. So the great defense

276
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480
by them. It was AJ not practicing the last two

277
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:50,840
days that was reported. This is nothing I'm saying off

278
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,919
the cuff. This is stuff that did happen because he

279
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,360
was feeling ill. So you been you have to understand

280
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,480
if you're feeling ill and then you don't practice and

281
00:14:57,519 --> 00:14:59,559
then you come into a physical game. I can speak

282
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,080
to that having been ill and having not played and

283
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,759
having played in the game on it Saturday. It does

284
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:07,679
not go well for you. It does not. That's just

285
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,639
the nature of it in college because when you're trying

286
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,440
to get your lungs back onder you you're on a

287
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,720
plane going to elevation. Look, some people may view this

288
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:16,360
as excuses, that could be the reasoning, but I just

289
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:17,960
think when you need him to show up in those

290
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,759
moments when they go on a run like that, I

291
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:22,440
just think that's tough with everything that was combobulated with it,

292
00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:25,320
with him not getting the calls, and then it kind

293
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,799
of turned into you know NBA one on one basketball.

294
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,720
It felt like that Rob a couple of you know

295
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,000
block shots by Texas Tech trying to force with the

296
00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:34,240
left hand going on the right side. There were sets

297
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,840
for Richie didn't work down the stretch. You know, although

298
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:39,519
you had a great shooting performance overall, they were blocking.

299
00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:41,519
It wasn't going. So you got just got to give

300
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:44,200
texta Tech credit, bend that they just played phenomenal defense.

301
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:46,799
They locked the Byu up. You thought by was gonna

302
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:48,480
do it with nine minutes left. Now will say this,

303
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,639
Rob Wright coming out of the game, it wasn't because

304
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:52,759
Kevin Young subed him out just because Rob disokayed his

305
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,120
finger and that was getting taken care of, and that

306
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:57,960
also played a factor into that. And I think that's

307
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,919
and I think if Rob doesn't disokay his finger, I

308
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:02,639
think BA is able to skip out of there with

309
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,159
the win down the stretch because they had no answer

310
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,000
when they were playing that fast. But when you take

311
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:09,960
a time out in sports, been that kills momentum, and

312
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,840
I thought that and Rob going to the bench for

313
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:15,200
that ninety seconds really threw them off with everything encompass

314
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,559
and it was just a unraveling. But look, you know,

315
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,480
I had a guest on the pregame show that said,

316
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:21,600
this was a game. If you lose it doesn't it

317
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:23,759
doesn't hurt you, but if you win it definitely helps you.

318
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,919
So it didn't hurt BYU too much. You saw from

319
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,320
eleven to thirteenth Bin That's why it doesn't hurt you

320
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,879
too much. But it would have been nice to see

321
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:33,039
them get a true QUA one road game win, which

322
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:34,720
they haven't really done just yet.

323
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in a chord with you on that. I

324
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:44,399
feel like there was were the two three point shooting calls?

325
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,360
Were those a bit dubious? Were those a bit controversial

326
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,919
or do you feel good about those? You're like, hey,

327
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,120
you know what, No, the lake got clipped, you know

328
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,679
James Harden's style, even though the kick happened with those

329
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:57,320
a little bit ticky tacky in your opinion.

330
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first one was tiki taki, the second one

331
00:16:59,879 --> 00:17:03,240
was you know, that's tough. But look, you're on the road.

332
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:05,319
You're not gonna get that call at home. Like I mean,

333
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,960
on the road. You're gonna get that call if you're

334
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:09,480
BYU at home. And that's what it is. But look,

335
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,799
I think the second one by Beato was a completely

336
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,920
he found him. It's not even a question. Won't even

337
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,079
argue that one. The first one, Yeah, there's some stuff

338
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,119
with that, but look, Ben, it's very simple. You have

339
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,960
to know you can't close out too hard. They're gonna

340
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,799
give the shooter everything. They're gonna protect a shooter. Frandfre Shil,

341
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,839
a friend of the program, says he was okay with

342
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,359
the call because you have to protect that shooter. And

343
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,240
with that, if that's my mindset, is a player, Ben

344
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:31,359
in that moment, I know and this is what I do.

345
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:33,680
I'm running past. So you see, now, guys will slide

346
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,079
to the left away from you to not touch you

347
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,759
at all, because if you impede that space anymore, they're

348
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:40,720
gonna do it. They always do. I thought Knar played

349
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,000
grad D. I thought it shouldn't have been. Maybe people

350
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,279
think I'm a little bit biased, but look, you have

351
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,160
to understand environment, you have to understand moments, and when

352
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,720
you have no momentum in that any type of contact

353
00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:53,519
is gonna go the Red Raiders way. So that one

354
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,359
was Ticky Tech, but the second one was, no doubt.

355
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,839
And then look at the end of the only other

356
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,319
side I felt, and I'm just being honest, this is

357
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,240
the first time I felt like Kevin Oung was forcing

358
00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:05,119
things offensively. The play's drawn for Richie and he's been

359
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,839
one of the greatest coaches out of timeouts in college basketball,

360
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:10,240
if not the greatest. And what set place those were

361
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:13,079
not working. And when that's not working and Texas Tech

362
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,519
just has you clamped, you just might have to tip

363
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:17,480
your cap and then turn the page in the next game.

364
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: Don't fret, don't get too stressed out about it. All

365
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:24,039
you gotta do is win at home. In my opinion,

366
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,160
win versus the bottom half of the conference on the

367
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,759
road and split the road games against the top half

368
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:31,920
and you're good. And I don't know where that would

369
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,279
necessarily put BYU, but I don't think anything worse than

370
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,039
a five seed, most likely a four seed. I would

371
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:38,759
love to see him be a three seed if they're

372
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:43,200
winning at least on the road versus that top half

373
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:45,880
of the conference. But we do know Texas Tech is

374
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,119
one of the krem Dela Krems. They are playing good

375
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,079
basketball right now, especially on their home Courtright, Brett, I

376
00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:54,440
always bring the hamber. Did you want to chime in

377
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:56,440
on anything before we get back into the soundbites?

378
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:58,559
Speaker 1: Oh Man, the Big Twelve is tough to.

379
00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:00,839
Speaker 3: God like, this isn't the true gotlet now of SEC

380
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:02,960
football talk. This is the true gauntlet.

381
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,039
Speaker 4: Well, because we're like, oh man, jat Topping might be

382
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:06,640
one of the best players, might be the best player

383
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,759
in the Big twelve. I think if you ask any

384
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,839
fan base in the Big Twelve, they would make an

385
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,599
argument we have the best player in the Big twelve. Obviously,

386
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:17,599
bou thinks they do, Kansas thinks they do, Arizona thinks

387
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,759
they do. There's a lot of teams who have an

388
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:21,759
argument for best in the Big Twelve. So part of that,

389
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:25,400
Gautlet is every single night you were taking on someone

390
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,599
who could be a first round draft pick in the NBA,

391
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000
who could be a lot and so that's I think

392
00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:35,480
that just kind of comes with the territory. Unfortunately, one

393
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:38,799
thing I thought was interesting, Ron, you're talking a lot

394
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:41,480
about Rob Wright. I think we would agree at this

395
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:43,839
point in the season that the two toughest games bou

396
00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:47,799
has played all year are Yukon and Texas Tech. And

397
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:51,640
it's interesting how in both of those games, rob Wright

398
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,000
has kind of been the lynchpin because if you remember

399
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:55,960
the end of the Yukon game, something you have been

400
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,599
notable for saying, Ron is Rob Wright shouldn't have had

401
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,279
the ball there. Well, now, in the Texas Tech game,

402
00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:04,000
when you needed Rob Wright to have the ball to

403
00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:07,720
continue on that scoring run with nine minutes ago, guess

404
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,240
who you wished had been there and was it? And

405
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:13,880
that was Rob Wright. I feel like this game was

406
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:21,240
emblematic and frankly inevitable because we've talked a lot about, Okay,

407
00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:25,160
this team wants to go Big three, awesome, AJ Robin Ritchie, they.

408
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: Can get it done.

409
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: What happens when one of those guys isn't able to

410
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:34,440
show up, and it's hard to give AJ criticism a

411
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,559
little bit because you feel a little bit like you're

412
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:39,480
kicking the man when he's down, because you know how

413
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,720
sick he was. We know how the fact that he

414
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,799
didn't practice for a couple of days. I feel like, though,

415
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,599
Ron the real issue with this game was Texas Tech said,

416
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,920
that's fine, if you want to play Big three, We're

417
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,880
gonna take one away and see if you can beat

418
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,200
us with the other two. Because I didn't even believe

419
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,799
the stat but it's true. I'd I had to look

420
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:02,960
it up to see it for myself. AJ de Bonce

421
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:05,720
was one for six with two points in the second half.

422
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,480
That is true, two points, and the only points that

423
00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:11,759
he had were on that that screen where Richie sets

424
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:13,839
the screen and then AJ does the little up and under,

425
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,319
which was a sweet move. Those were his only points

426
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,920
of the half. You wonder if AJ is able to

427
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,200
score even four or five points in the second half,

428
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,680
if that changes things. But it was just it was

429
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,319
so obvious that Texas Tech said, will let Rob do

430
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,480
whatever he wants, and we're gonna get a couple of

431
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,000
swats on him when he comes inside.

432
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 3: AJ is not gonna beat us.

433
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,599
Speaker 4: I mean, Ron, do you think if AJ is healthy

434
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,920
they win this game.

435
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're able to overcome uh that run

436
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:44,759
Ben and Brett specifically your question, I do, I really

437
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,599
do believe that because I'm watching games and I'm and

438
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:51,920
I want fans to pay attention watch the physicality of AJ.

439
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,119
He's deferring, that doesn't happen. He's getting in making a move,

440
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,519
looking looking, He's like, all right, he's looking the past

441
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:01,880
the ball. Only AJ is trying to do too much,

442
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,119
which is a sign of I'm trying to score the basketball.

443
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 3: Now.

444
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,039
Speaker 1: Texas Tech is a good defensive team. I don't want

445
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:07,960
to take anything away from that. But when he gets

446
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,880
into pain, normally he's trying to raise over like I

447
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,480
think the lingering effects of not practicing the physicality. But

448
00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:17,039
let that, like Kevin Young mentioned in an opening segment

449
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,880
of the question, that happens players have those days. Tap

450
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,920
it with Kevin Durant remember the Boston Celtics like playoffs

451
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,359
series where they were just overly physical and says, you're

452
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,079
not gonna beat us a kadie. Kyrie's gonna have to

453
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,279
score forty or fifty a game, and they just were

454
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,240
like going bonkers and throwing shoulders and playing football like that.

455
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,799
That's how it goes, you know. Sometimes Yeah, those moments

456
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:37,920
you have to adjust. But Ben, this is what I'll

457
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,519
go with. Then I want to introduce a new point

458
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:42,640
to the fans. Yes, you can win the bottom half

459
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,000
of the Big Twelve. Yes you can win a home

460
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,720
and split, but when we talk about two seeds, when

461
00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:49,799
we talk about getting to a final four, you have

462
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,599
to win these games on the road. You have to

463
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:52,720
get one of them. You don't have to get all

464
00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:54,599
of them, but you gotta win at Kansas, you gotta

465
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,079
somehow get the one at Arizona. The Texas Tech one's

466
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,519
already gone. You have to get one of those games.

467
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:01,720
I know it's tough to win in the Big Twelve,

468
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,400
but I mean serious when I bring this up. That

469
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,680
game if they have and look, it's not their fault,

470
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,599
right and it's nobody to judge, just unfortunate, But if

471
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,240
they have Dawson ordinate Pickens, I believe that doesn't happen

472
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,359
because if Rob is on the bench, one of those

473
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,240
guys is able to come in. You don't have that.

474
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:19,759
So I'm introduce a new factor if that if they

475
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:22,880
lose a game like that again on the road against

476
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,160
the team they go to fag Allen Field House, they

477
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,680
go to the McHale Center. If they lose a game

478
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,359
like that been on the road where it unravels, or

479
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,279
even at home, I'll even throw it at home. But

480
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:33,640
it's really, really I don't think that would happen. I

481
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,599
think you could see kJ Perry come out of that

482
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,079
red shirt. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna go with

483
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,359
a hot take. Now I hope I'm really wrong, but

484
00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:43,400
with and that was something that was a freak thing,

485
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,839
a dissocated finger. But if Rob gets in foul trouble

486
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,400
or AJ gets in foul trouble, I'm wondering now playing

487
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,279
the scenarios of my brain of where do you turn to?

488
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,759
Are you gonna turn to a Lexi coasch at that

489
00:23:54,839 --> 00:23:56,799
point it's by you know, you have no choice because

490
00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:59,200
of foul trouble. But that's not good, That's not healthy.

491
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,960
Now know they want to keep that bin. But if

492
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,599
I see that that happens again, if that happens to

493
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,119
that coaching staff or things just unravel and I get

494
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,400
Texas Tech hit shots. You gotta give him credit for that.

495
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,160
But if it happens that bad again, where teams are

496
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,519
hitting shots and you can't put pressure offensively and you

497
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,519
are playing good enough defense from the perimeter. Then I

498
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:19,880
think you could see that move made. Look, that's why

499
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,839
they brought beat him in for that purpose, and I

500
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:23,880
think you could see the same thing.

501
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: Now.

502
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,519
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the case. It's unfortunate that Dawson

503
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:28,559
and eight. I feel like we're robbed of a great

504
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:30,000
team to be able to do that because they wouldn't

505
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,440
be in that position they had a won that game.

506
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,680
I feel like, heck, they might even win the Yukon game.

507
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,960
But to wrap up this tangent bind, if they have

508
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,319
another game, word unravels like that and rob freak accident,

509
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,400
foul trouble, I think you might see kJ suit up

510
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,119
in the game, because where are they gonna turn to offensively?

511
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:47,079
Like Brett said, these are the guys that are gonna

512
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,200
take the shots, and Kevin Young said they're gonna live

513
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,880
and die by that. But if a guy is going

514
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,480
to the bench, where do you turn for that?

515
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: Now?

516
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,559
Speaker 1: Mahalala's not playing very good defense right, He's fouling behind

517
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:57,480
the play CAPA shouldn't have over rotated. I just I

518
00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:58,880
look at all of that, if all of that can

519
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,240
just unravel, and this team has final four aspirations, but

520
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:03,599
to do that you need guard play.

521
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:07,799
Speaker 3: Let's take a brief time out. Let's come back with

the song?

560
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:33,799
Speaker 1: The song is Glory and it was played and it

561
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:37,160
was chosen for the soundtrack. They created it specifically for

562
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:40,039
the movie Selma, which highlights doctor King and the journey

563
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:42,440
and everything his life and is a commisation kind of

564
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,039
like a documentary. It's one I think it's one of

565
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:46,400
the great movies that won an award. It's played by,

566
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,599
you know, a great actress. So I felt like that was,

567
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,519
you know, appropriate for today. Obviously, with it be an

568
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,759
MLK Day, you need to go listen to the song

569
00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:54,240
or your own. Don't want to play it for everybody

570
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,799
on the airway, so we can get back to the content.

571
00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:58,279
But I like it because it just highlights, you know,

572
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:01,039
in three minutes, just a great story telling of what

573
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:04,000
Martin Luther King stood for. And look, I'm gonna be honest,

574
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:06,720
I am a I say this. I'm a black man

575
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:08,920
married to a white woman. There was the times in

576
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,519
the world that were different. My family roots are from

577
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,279
Mississippi and Alabama, and there's a lot of things going

578
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:16,599
on and you know, his influence, Ben is the reason

579
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,720
why I'm able to partially one of the reasons I'm

580
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:21,279
able to you know, be Marriy Dimley and you know,

581
00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:23,559
and my family history is a part of that. So

582
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,079
I wanted to play that just to you know, highlight him.

583
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: Love and appreciate that. Ronald the three Man, we were

584
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,759
picking the band of the day, brought to you by

585
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,279
Royal Army dot Com b O U S. White Crew,

586
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,119
by fans for fans. We're going to get back to

587
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:40,480
the sound bites. B YU took it in the mouth man.

588
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:43,920
That was That was a tough, wild and rockoush environment

589
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,240
there in Lubbock, and they were up big but just

590
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:51,880
couldn't hold on to the win. Let's talk about it

591
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,960
with k Y and Rob right the third Kevin, you

592
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:59,240
went on a sixteen to two run in the second half.

593
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:01,559
Rob made a couple of free throws. Did you decide

594
00:29:01,599 --> 00:29:05,039
to take him out for a quick uh, you know

595
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,559
rest bite there, a little quick rest there. Nah.

596
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: He had something happened to his pinky, so he was

597
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,880
getting that thing taped up.

598
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,559
Speaker 1: So Rob was unbelievable tonight.

599
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,599
Speaker 3: I mean, we we we you know, we wouldn't have

600
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:15,880
been in.

601
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:19,079
Speaker 5: The in the advantageous position that we got the game too.

602
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:22,599
If it wasn't for Rob, he was unbelievable tonight. You know,

603
00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:25,599
so a lot of it's on me to make sure

604
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,480
I'm putting, you know, our guys in the right spots

605
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:30,480
when they're rolling, and probably could have done a better

606
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:32,920
job of that to continue to kind of keep the

607
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,160
ball in his hands. But uh, you know something that

608
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,720
I got to examine on the film.

609
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was un fortunately remember when he when he

610
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,640
popped off, he did like that little spin move towards

611
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880
the the left side of the lane and and fell

612
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,880
down and immediately popped up and you could see that

613
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,039
pinky was just kind of popped out of place. He

614
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,759
ran straight over to Rob Rainmos, the head athletic trainer

615
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:58,759
for b Yu mentioned basketball and uh subsequently got it

616
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:02,279
taped up. So yeah, he needed a little bit of

617
00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:04,200
a spell there. I don't know how long he was

618
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,839
on the bench for, but it was it was minimal

619
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:08,400
time on the bench. But you have to wonder his

620
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,720
uh if his efficacy, his confidence, his handle, was it

621
00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:17,279
all disrupted by that dislocation of the pinky. We hope

622
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:21,279
he's well, I you know, sometimes you can buddy tape

623
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:23,240
those I mean, if it's his offhand, it's not his

624
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:28,400
dominant hand. You do a little double sided coban for

625
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,359
those that don't know what coban is. It's a little

626
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,759
double sided tape and it provides a little bit of

627
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,559
tack to the to the leather ball. I think he'll

628
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:40,039
be okay. But any any finger wrist injury. I mean,

629
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:42,680
you used to see Kobe would would Buddy tape his

630
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:46,039
fingers all the time because you get slapped at, especially

631
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:50,079
when you're a primary ball handler, you get just gnarled

632
00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:54,359
and nasty fingers sometimes because you're getting hit so often,

633
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,640
and those those those calls don't always come. They just don't,

634
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,880
so they don't always come from the zebras. And were

635
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,119
there any complaints from your guys side of things, you know,

636
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,000
Ronald and Hamber time show, you guys felt like it

637
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:09,880
was called pretty good.

638
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like it was called fairly Yeah.

639
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:13,039
Speaker 3: Yeah.

640
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 4: I think he always played worse officiated games this season

641
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:16,440
for sure.

642
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I didn't see a whole lot of

643
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,920
complaints coming from Kugarnat.

644
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: I know Kevin Young wonted the foules that were called

645
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,880
at the like the end of the game when Rob

646
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,039
was getting toasty one of those at the beginning. He

647
00:31:27,079 --> 00:31:29,960
was visibly frustrated, and the broadcast said, oh, so now

648
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,880
you're calling it like but again, fifty to fifty calls

649
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,759
like that band on the road. You're just not gonna

650
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,119
I think the officials did a great job of it.

651
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,480
I'm not gonna look at it that. It just it

652
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,359
got out of hand. And he said, only ninety seconds.

653
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,720
That's all it takes to going eleven. Oh, running basketball,

654
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,759
It only takes ninety So that that pinky I don't

655
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:49,880
want to say the pinky Robs calls them, but the

656
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,440
dislocation band and going to the bench. Texas text in, Oh,

657
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,319
he's gone, let's do it. And that's all it takes

658
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,880
is quick in basketball, it's very quick.

659
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the sound by Rob right, the

660
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,240
third was balling. You started taking over the second half, Rob,

661
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,680
What were you seeing from the defense that allows you

662
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,079
to do that?

663
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 6: I really was just JT was kind of doing a

664
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,000
soft edge. So coach talked about it when he was

665
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,319
watching film on him, just an attack after he dropped back.

666
00:32:15,359 --> 00:32:17,279
So I was just taking advantage of that and just

667
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:18,119
stringing them out.

668
00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: Stringing them up. What were you guys doing defensively. The

669
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,119
cool textas tacked down before that big run k why he.

670
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 6: Was executing our game plan was trying to keep the

671
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:31,519
right matchups and we was doing that in that stretch.

672
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: That was Rob breaking it down there. Kevin, you shadowed

673
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:39,039
Christian the first half and then went away from it

674
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:42,319
in the second. Why did you guys decide not to

675
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:43,680
do that? Oh?

676
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 5: I thought, I mean, that's it's hard to sustain, you know,

677
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,519
that level of intensity for forty minutes. So you know,

678
00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:51,359
we were trying to get into his legs the best

679
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,720
we could. You know, he's obviously a great player, very skilled,

680
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,440
and they do a great job of putting him and

681
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,720
putting him in positions that that are good for him.

682
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:01,599
So and we tried to take that out the best

683
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:06,799
we could. But you know, one of the guys that

684
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,799
was doing it had Deem you know, I thought did

685
00:33:08,839 --> 00:33:10,720
a good job. You know, he's a young guy as

686
00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:13,359
a freshman, so it'll be a good learning experience from him.

687
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:15,279
But in terms of why we went away from it,

688
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:16,839
you know, I thought they did a better job of

689
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,359
just having you know, different guys bring it up that

690
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:21,880
Watts facilitated a little bit more and they were able

691
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,079
to kind of count it a little bit.

692
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ultimately Texas Texas Big three was better than B

693
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:29,799
Way was Big three. JD. Toppin, Christian Anderson la one

694
00:33:29,839 --> 00:33:34,519
watch they got theirs. Uh JT had twenty seven, Christian

695
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:38,119
had twenty two. Watch at twenty and H B Y

696
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:40,319
wasn't able to match that. They just weren't able to

697
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:43,880
match that pace. Robright had twenty eight, uh AJ had thirteen,

698
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:47,240
and you know, and and and I think the Todd

699
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:50,400
King Richie Saunders what he ended up he only had

700
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,079
he was he was pretty he had eighteen. He had eighteen.

701
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,160
I think. So just the Big three went. They weren't enough.

702
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:03,640
They weren't enough the the home court advantage that the

703
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,920
Raider Red Raiders had. Now, did Texas take make any

704
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,159
changes defensively that you guys when you guys were up nine,

705
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,880
What did you see from that? Their defensive side of

706
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,760
the ball K Why not? Really?

707
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I thought, I think I think for them

708
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:20,639
and and and again they did they did a good

709
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,880
job of it. But they you know, they really guarded

710
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,199
aj without foulon, you know, and that was that was

711
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,360
a a hard thing for a lot of teams to do.

712
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,719
So far in our matchups with other teams. But at

713
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,519
the same time, I mean, again, you have to give

714
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:36,000
them credit. Let me be very clear, they outplayed us,

715
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:37,679
They out coached this day, out played us.

716
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: We were five to twenty two from three.

717
00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 5: You know, I thought we had a lot of wide

718
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,559
open looks that just didn't go down.

719
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:43,679
Speaker 1: And that's basketball.

720
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 5: And we got to be better in terms of being

721
00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:47,719
able to spread the floor, you know, for guys like

722
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,360
AJ and Rob to do their thing.

723
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 3: Ronnie, what you got for me? Brother?

724
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: Look as I listened to that, and as I gone back,

725
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,559
because you know been after every football game, you and

726
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:59,280
I know you, we would watch it together. And I

727
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,440
go back and I watched these games because I really

728
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,880
want to notice. And I looked at the three point shooting. Yeah,

729
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,360
they just didn't hit shots. I don't think that was

730
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,360
the issue. I think you just like you said, you

731
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,639
have to give Texas Tech credit. Ben, And it's probably

732
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:12,159
frustrating for Graham McCaslin. The best player in their team

733
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
is not playing that well and they're still up nine

734
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,400
on us. They're on a sixteen to two run. That's

735
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,440
how good BYU is and that's why this guy's not falling,

736
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,880
even though it was devastating of what happened in that

737
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,400
that four minute stretch, but look, man, this is all

738
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,599
Texas Tech is a basketball fan of someone who loves

739
00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:28,760
big che basketball. I tipped the cap. You know why

740
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,840
because the coach is extremely proud of how they executed

741
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,440
the scout in that four minutess not the whole game

742
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,079
because they're nitpicky, that's how coaches are. But you're extremely

743
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:37,880
happy with what they did with the scout of AJ

744
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,320
and how they handled that because they were losing that

745
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,519
game and then a flip of the light switch, flip

746
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,039
flip hashcheck Drake, they just went out and just you know,

747
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,239
they did exactly what they needed to do. Topping was amazing,

748
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,960
and it was really Watts. I don't think top And

749
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,039
heard him, because Topin's been doing that his whole career.

750
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,559
I think Watts did when they started over Roten and

751
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:57,000
he started punishing Richie in the post, and then Cabas

752
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,880
started coming over, and then the foul started to come

753
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,679
and then he went to the line and he hit

754
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,280
a couple of threes and I said, Okay, this might

755
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,159
be over. And then again they just put it out

756
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:06,320
of their building. And we seen BYU do that. BYU's

757
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,039
done it to people at home all the time. They

758
00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:11,519
weren't able to maintain the lead. It happens. That's basketball.

759
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,039
But I'll say this, I feel bad for the University

760
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:17,159
of Utah because that was that was a five point

761
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,880
victory up in the Huntsman four or five point, I'm

762
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,039
not gonna say thirty. But they're gonna sit on this

763
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,159
for a week like they did the Yukon game, and

764
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,880
the Utah is gonna get it taken out on them.

765
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,320
It is gonna be mad. He's gonna get their shoulder right.

766
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,360
He's gonna have a full week to get healthy. The

767
00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:33,400
University of Utah is going to get built BTA, I

768
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,239
think on Saturday and the Mirrord and have to deal

769
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,920
with it at afternoon tip off because BYU is gonna

770
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,199
be angry about what happened and that they had to

771
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:41,639
sit on this loss for seven days.

772
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, there's a there's a virus going around everywhere,

773
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,039
like especially amuch As the kids. My kids had it.

774
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:50,280
My wife now has it right now, and it is

775
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,159
like luckless praise taking my zmay.

776
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: Drinking orange juice every day?

777
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:55,039
Speaker 6: Man?

778
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:57,199
Speaker 3: Is that Hey, that's good too. Man, get the vitamin C,

779
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,920
the vitamin D, and the z I'm telling you one

780
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,480
of the best things you guys can do as men

781
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,119
take zm A in the evenings, little combo. I used

782
00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:08,639
to take zm A zinc magnesium ASP pertain. Now it

783
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:10,440
has got some other stuff too. It's a little gummy.

784
00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:12,400
You guys know me. I've done a little bit Ashawa

785
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,239
ganda in the evenings, little Ashwagta. Every once in a while,

786
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,039
I do a little bit of melatonin if I need it.

787
00:37:18,599 --> 00:37:21,320
I don't want to disrupt my hormonal balance too much

788
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,400
with too much melatonin. But the z m A has

789
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,239
kept me healthy and strong and persevering through sicknesses. Uh

790
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,320
that other people have come under the come under the

791
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,760
weather with. So check out ZMA ZMA in the evenings

792
00:37:35,039 --> 00:37:36,800
right before you go to sleep. By the way, a

793
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:42,280
couple other things here, uh as we delve into this segment, Uh, coach,

794
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:45,480
last couple of comments from Ky and Rob right the

795
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:49,360
third you had a rebounding advantage. What did the Red

796
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,320
Razors do positionally that ended that rebound advantage at the

797
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:53,880
end of the game.

798
00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:58,039
Speaker 5: Not sure specifically, I'll have to look at that on

799
00:37:58,159 --> 00:38:01,440
the film. But you know, we're a good offensive rebounding

800
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,000
team and they you know, they've got some guys with

801
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,280
obviously topping with great size, and we had seven defensive rebounds,

802
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,440
but they had other guys get in there and they

803
00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:10,239
did it as a group.

804
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, you want more second chance Like

805
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,079
I don't think you should ever bet on second chance points,

806
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,719
like right to be consistent with that, but like it's

807
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,719
kind of like one of those It's like a the

808
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,519
football stat that I compare it to, and maybe and

809
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:30,760
the football stats even more insane, like the amount of

810
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,920
turnovers that BYU special teams unit over the last three

811
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,599
years has been able to acquire via special teams on

812
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,199
like punt cover and kick cover. It's not sustainable. It's

813
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,119
eventually something's got to give offensive rebounding to me, is

814
00:38:45,159 --> 00:38:48,840
akin to that. It's like, eventually teams are going to

815
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,440
box you out, especially when you're taking a whole slew

816
00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:55,639
of three point shots from the perimitive. They're gonna close out.

817
00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:57,039
They're gonna put a body on a body. If they

818
00:38:57,039 --> 00:39:01,000
have length, athleticism and physicality, and what if you're well coached,

819
00:39:01,159 --> 00:39:03,480
They're gonna put a body on you eventually. Does that

820
00:39:03,559 --> 00:39:03,960
make sense?

821
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the icing on top of the cake.

822
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,960
But it can't be the main ingredient in the recipe.

823
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 3: You can't continue, especially when you going against brank teams

824
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,920
like on the road, not gonna happen. So like the

825
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,519
second chance points is about to be a good point

826
00:39:19,639 --> 00:39:22,599
about to be chopped off, right, they're gonna be extinguished.

827
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:27,079
That fire eventually is gonna be doused. Sorry, You're not

828
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:30,599
gonna continue to get those rebounds no way know how.

829
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,639
And you can't rely on it. So you gotta hit

830
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:34,800
your shots within your set offense. And the question is

831
00:39:35,199 --> 00:39:38,920
do we like our offense? Do we like the shots

832
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,280
we're getting? Do you like the looks we're getting? Yeah?

833
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,159
I love the transition offense, I love the ISO, I

834
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,519
love the ability of these players. And many times it's

835
00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:50,079
just nice to let them play their game. And Rob

836
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:53,320
Wright can can tally twenty eight points doing what he does.

837
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: When the ball is in AJ's hands. Says nothing against Rob.

838
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,199
I don't want people to think that's a shot. Rob's

839
00:39:59,199 --> 00:40:01,360
play well again his career against Texas that he had

840
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,400
his best game against him, but he played well against

841
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,719
him against Baylor like Robin knows how to score. He's

842
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,320
a scoring guard, he's that third option on the other two.

843
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,559
But I want the ball in AJ's hand. I want

844
00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:12,679
him making the decisions because look, go back to the

845
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,239
Miami game, and that's why I think his health played

846
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,960
a factor. Yes, worst lowest scoring performance. He didn't shoot

847
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,760
well in that Miami game, but he was five or fourteen.

848
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,519
But what happened if you go to three back to

849
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:24,559
back plays, that happened that got Boa to lead, that

850
00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:26,760
led to the Richie three pass from Robin and the

851
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,480
rob three. The ball was in AJ hands, the double came,

852
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,760
he made the right read and then he was able

853
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,920
to close it out with free throws. Maybe him not

854
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:36,920
practicing and all those other things that said might play

855
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,039
have played a factor because I've seen AJ have a

856
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:42,320
batch shooting day before, and yes, Miami's not Texas Tech

857
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,679
in moments and be able to still get it now. Look,

858
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,840
it was a different environment, for sure, But this will

859
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,679
be a learning lesson, I think for AJ, and I

860
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,440
think this will be a learning lesson for everybody. But

861
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,960
I agree, if you're gonna rely on offensive rebounds, like

862
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,760
I've said, for being football, if you need an interception

863
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,599
to win you the game, you're gonna need to go

864
00:40:58,679 --> 00:41:00,360
back to the drawing board because you just need to

865
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,440
hit your shots and do that. And that's where I

866
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:04,880
think Ben, Okay, you were bad at offensive rebounding. K

867
00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:06,760
they got to get better at threes. They might have

868
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,400
to hit Ben somewhere between eight to eleven threes a

869
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,559
game to be able to win, because you just can't

870
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,239
rely on getting the O boards. As much as I

871
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,800
love k Banbidu and Richie, that's not sustainable for the

872
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,519
season games. It will be, but ultimately I think what

873
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:22,159
it's gonna determine is they need to knock down shots

874
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:24,400
from beyond the arc, because that to me, Ben, if

875
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,639
I'm a top fifteen team, that's the recipe, that's the recipe.

876
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Be physical with Debonsa, don't foul him when he gets

877
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,599
underneath the basket, make him take the tough two, and

878
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:34,440
then say, okay, we'll let Richie and Rob try to

879
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,320
beat us. And you know, they don't have a good

880
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,639
bench production to see what happens, and it didn't work

881
00:41:38,679 --> 00:41:40,360
out too well in against the Red Raiders. In the

882
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,119
last five minutes.

883
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 3: Matt Bayamonte Studio host play by play for BYU Athletics

884
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,400
tweeted this shout and I think it's an important stat

885
00:41:48,119 --> 00:41:51,199
How important to you know? It's up for debate. I

886
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,800
guess Canard mood Davis is four to twenty six from

887
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,119
the three point line in Big twelve play, it's fifteen percent.

888
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,400
As Dodo, it's a boo boo doo Stevens and booboo

889
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,480
Johnson as uh as my guy Brian Logan would say, hopefully, Kay,

890
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:08,840
why can help him break out of this slump because

891
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,960
this team needs a reliable off ball shooter outside of

892
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,840
big tweet. I'll be honest, I hate moves, mechanics. I

893
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,880
don't like him one bit. It kind of reminds me

894
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,599
of Sean Marion, Like Sean Marin used to hit, but

895
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,880
like his mechanics were completely off. You guys don't know

896
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,800
Sean Marion, I slasher for the Phoenix Suns for a

897
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,320
long time. Really good player obviously, but like mechanics. He

898
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,599
do this a little cross cross across his face, you know,

899
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,679
shot and then come up like it was a little

900
00:42:35,679 --> 00:42:38,960
bit like Lamello like but like you know what I mean,

901
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,800
It's like Lamello, but not as high forehead. It was

902
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,480
like off the forehead and he flick it. It was

903
00:42:44,519 --> 00:42:46,639
really quick and that's what moves is it kind of

904
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,079
it comes from left ear to like forehead right like

905
00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:52,639
frontal low forehead, but it's coming off the forehead whereas

906
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:55,599
like LaMelo comes up over the top and I can

907
00:42:55,679 --> 00:42:59,639
actually see where he's shooting. Look, people like are like, Ben,

908
00:42:59,679 --> 00:43:01,480
what are you? Why are you getting into this stum?

909
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:05,800
I love mechanics. You'll hear me talk about anatomy, physiology,

910
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:12,400
mechanics like you know, biomechanical movie, these things that impact,

911
00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:16,360
like you know, a shot selection and shots made and

912
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,800
things that nature. I don't like his mechanics. I hate

913
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,880
him in fact. And what's happening is he was playing

914
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,159
the SIU last year and he was going against competition

915
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,719
that didn't close out as quickly and contest him as

916
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,599
well as he's experiencing in the Big twelve, and that

917
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,800
it has accelerated his movement and rushed his shot and

918
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,760
now he's off. That's my opinion of it. People will say, well,

919
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,880
all of the the hulla balloo that led to you know,

920
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,599
controversy other things like, I don't think that's the case.

921
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:49,960
He's been practicing, he's been getting buckets. He says, he's

922
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,079
getting closed out a whole lot quicker in these games,

923
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,559
and it's rushed. It's the same thing I saw with

924
00:43:54,679 --> 00:43:58,320
zach Sely. Zac Selly's with a was amazing when he

925
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,079
was a true freshman because he was getting wide open

926
00:44:01,159 --> 00:44:03,920
looks and then he sped up his mechanics as he

927
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,920
had to, and he was he was kind of trying

928
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,880
to train himself into like a Steph Curry type of shooter.

929
00:44:09,159 --> 00:44:11,599
You speed up those mechanics, it's gonna make you a

930
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,920
little bit more less accurate. That is just the tail

931
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,760
of the tape that I see. So move, he's gotta hit.

932
00:44:18,119 --> 00:44:21,239
We need someone. Maruss ain't gonna hit. Where's the maras

933
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,639
Mihanilo is not a bucket bitch? Right now? Who can

934
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,239
you trust? If the tod King's off, if AJ's sick

935
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,679
and has a dislocated right shoulder, you.

936
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:32,119
Speaker 2: Know what, what?

937
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 5: You like?

938
00:44:33,079 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 3: Rob did take over the game. It sucks that he

939
00:44:36,039 --> 00:44:38,199
got his pinky dislocated. That slowed him down a bit.

940
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 4: You're telling me that this is an anomaly and that

941
00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:46,440
when they play Houston and Arizona, suddenly everyone's gonna be

942
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,440
perfect again. And that's I didn't want this to be

943
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:52,679
an I eyu Rob and Richie to be able to

944
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,599
just dominate and not need help from anybody else. I

945
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,320
just don't think every single game you play against the

946
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,679
top team, and like in Arizonakah Houston, I just don't

947
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,119
think it's gonna be a perfect outing for Rob, Richie

948
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:06,440
and AJ.

949
00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 3: And frankly, what we're learning.

950
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 4: About this team is in order for them to win,

951
00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:14,000
it has to be a perfect outing from Rob, Ritchie

952
00:45:14,039 --> 00:45:15,920
and AJ. And I like that you bring up this

953
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:20,000
stat about canar Davis because there's a lot of blame

954
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:23,440
to go around, and because Canard doesn't necessarily get the

955
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,760
praise in any of the other games, he hasn't really

956
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,880
shared in the blame in a game like this. However,

957
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,039
what we are learning is, Okay, five of twenty two

958
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,360
from three point that's not gonna win you a ballgame.

959
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,079
If I think if they make if they go eight

960
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:41,800
of twenty two, which is conservative, that's like thirty three percent.

961
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,800
I think you win this game if you hit three

962
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,880
more three pointers. The problem is Richie did everything he

963
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,360
could have done, Rob did everything he could have done,

964
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,679
and AJ was taken off the board. So The question

965
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,920
then was who is going to be your third guy

966
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,599
to get buckets, And it wasn't Moo Davis. It really

967
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,519
was anybody else, frankly, because I don't know if it's

968
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:04,199
the trust thing, but there's not a whole lot of

969
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,239
shots being taken by anybody else on this team, so

970
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:09,280
that allocation factors.

971
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 3: Into it as well.

972
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 4: I just think part of the issue was a little

973
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,760
bit what Ron talked about earlier, like you're starting to

974
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,440
realize how much you miss a guy like Nate Pickens

975
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,960
and Dawson Baker, guys that you truly trusted in these

976
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:25,480
minutes to play guard and just even like just kind

977
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:28,159
of wait things out until guys like Roberts to your

978
00:46:28,199 --> 00:46:29,639
agent could get back on track.

979
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 3: You're missing, You're missing that piece.

980
00:46:32,559 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 4: I think Dawson honestly is a massive hole right now,

981
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,719
because I don't think there are a whole piece away.

982
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,639
I told Ron this morning, like, I think they're a

983
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,079
half piece away right now. There's just certain moments where

984
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,960
they need a guy to be able to help them

985
00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:49,079
wade out the storm, and they don't have that.

986
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 3: Yes, a guy that can hit a set three point

987
00:46:53,559 --> 00:46:57,920
nobody nobody can hit it. Rob right can penetrate aj compenetrate,

988
00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:01,880
Richie can penetrate kicking it to like no one can

989
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,960
have set three hammertime show. I feel I could do

990
00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:07,559
a better job right now than everybody. I mean, how

991
00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:10,039
quick is your release? How quick are your mechanics? Is

992
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:12,840
it quick enough? Is it JT It's quick enough. Every

993
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,679
else in my game is not quick enough. And that

994
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,159
part you need Jonathan Tabinari just set up in the

995
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,280
corner right now from the way over the way. Yeah,

996
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,039
and it's Trevin. But like you know, the only problem

997
00:47:27,079 --> 00:47:29,360
I have with Trev is he's a jump shooter. He's

998
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,800
not a set shooter. There's a difference. He's a guy

999
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:37,400
that rises right. Not all ray Allen style shooters shoot

1000
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,920
the ball at the clip inefficiency rate of ray Allen.

1001
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,440
A lot of them float too long and they shoot

1002
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,159
on the drop and they're less accurate. Like these like

1003
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,559
really form shooting. Trev has a has a very short

1004
00:47:50,639 --> 00:47:53,400
lever arm, meaning it's like really tight. It's the reason

1005
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,440
why he was a little bit inaccurate on his free

1006
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,239
throw shooting. They're like, oh, what what is that to do? Like, no,

1007
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,320
he's tight, just watch him. He's he he he raises

1008
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,199
quickly and then he pushes like it's very it's it's

1009
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:06,639
not a shoot. I promise you this.

1010
00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:09,119
Speaker 1: Team would beat you. Connor Texas Tech. If Trevor Nill's

1011
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:11,320
taking my high Low Boskovich's minutes, well.

1012
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, what I'm saying is Trev's not a set shooter.

1013
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,039
He's coming off a screen.

1014
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: And then I don't think they need a set shooter

1015
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,280
that I think they need a guy that can hit threes,

1016
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,039
just a shooter. Ben. They don't have a shooter. And

1017
00:48:22,119 --> 00:48:24,880
here's why I brought up this guy, awesome infinite that

1018
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,599
she didn't pick me. My goodness, you've seen me hit

1019
00:48:26,599 --> 00:48:27,079
three's been.

1020
00:48:27,519 --> 00:48:31,559
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in front of right here and I'm giving

1021
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:33,280
I'm just giving you a hard time. But he's the

1022
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,280
better three point shoot hammertime or Rob.

1023
00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:37,599
Speaker 1: Brett has paint. Brett Brett has it in the paint.

1024
00:48:37,639 --> 00:48:38,440
I can't get in the paint.

1025
00:48:38,519 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: I have no post is Brett did mention that he

1026
00:48:41,639 --> 00:48:43,480
have no pot a lot of weight.

1027
00:48:43,639 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: They put me in the pick and roll and try

1028
00:48:45,039 --> 00:48:46,400
to give me down low. I have no post game.

1029
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,599
I'm just gonna say it right now. I know what

1030
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:49,639
my game is, perimeter and try to beat you off

1031
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,480
the dribbles. Shoot to use my speed in my handles.

1032
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,599
That's what I'm going to Anyway, here's the guy last year. Remember,

1033
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:56,119
and this is why we're gonna I think it's good

1034
00:48:56,159 --> 00:49:00,159
to talk about canards stats five point nine. Uh, that's

1035
00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:02,599
what he averages points per game last year. He shot

1036
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,320
forty eight percent from the field and he shot thirty

1037
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,760
nine thirty nine point seven percent from three. Do you

1038
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,880
know who that man was that Canard is in this role? Now,

1039
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:14,719
this guy earned this role down the stretch of the season.

1040
00:49:16,159 --> 00:49:18,119
That is the guy. That is the guy. Canard is

1041
00:49:18,199 --> 00:49:20,440
in that role. That's what we thought and that's what

1042
00:49:21,079 --> 00:49:23,400
one hundred percent. And with the handle, we thought we

1043
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,079
were gonna get it. With the handle and the.

1044
00:49:26,199 --> 00:49:28,559
Speaker 3: Defense even a conference defense.

1045
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:33,119
Speaker 1: Word defensively, I think, but minus the three point foul

1046
00:49:33,199 --> 00:49:35,800
that was questionable. I think Canard's played excellent defense. I

1047
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,840
think he's been up there but been like because you

1048
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:38,239
saw it in the.

1049
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:43,639
Speaker 3: T what what's.

1050
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: And his mechanics for on point as you mentioned that

1051
00:49:45,519 --> 00:49:47,239
he was in the corner. But that's why I brought

1052
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,440
up Trevin. They need a guy. But what when I

1053
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,480
think of that fifth guy, what was the guy in

1054
00:49:51,519 --> 00:49:53,719
the corner. Canard has been in the corner. What came

1055
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,360
off screens to It's not there with the mechanics and

1056
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,599
how it's happening, because what mag was that guy? And

1057
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:00,840
that's why be what he was able to do what

1058
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,639
he did. I mean been looking at how many look

1059
00:50:02,679 --> 00:50:04,880
how many times he scored in double figures in the

1060
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,679
season against Central Arkansas, against Queensy at fourteen, Mississippi at

1061
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,719
twenty in the wild, what is it? You just look

1062
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,880
at what he did. I mean, he had a career

1063
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,519
high nineteen against UC Like, I just I think they

1064
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,800
need Canard's gotta figure it out, Ben, sooner rather than later,

1065
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,039
because he's supposed he has to provide points. Ben, he

1066
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,239
has no choice. He has to provide points. Like I'm

1067
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,840
looking at ten to eleven at nineteen thirteen. And that's

1068
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,159
the thing. It's not even that he's scoring six points, Ben,

1069
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,840
it's two of three from what is it the field?

1070
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,719
Two of three from three, three of six from three,

1071
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,920
Like that's what it is is Canards shots have to

1072
00:50:40,119 --> 00:50:43,280
burn the opposition, and I'm looking at them a what

1073
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,480
of doing that? Like against Wyoming, Ben, he's four or

1074
00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:48,760
five from the field, But he's also three or four

1075
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,440
from three like that's the reason, and Canard's not shooting

1076
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,760
well from downtown and that's the issue, is he's in

1077
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,239
that role. So I need to see better shooting from Canard.

1078
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,519
That's a great stat, bay Mate. Maybe I need to

1079
00:50:59,559 --> 00:51:01,400
reach out the have to have him one because five

1080
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,599
of twenty six fifty percent is atrocious and that's not

1081
00:51:05,679 --> 00:51:08,519
gonna help BYU win games when because look, man, we're

1082
00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:12,400
not talking about TC using Utah. We're talking about Texas Tech, Arizona, Kansas.

1083
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,599
I agree with you, guys, that's gonna showcase itself in

1084
00:51:15,679 --> 00:51:18,360
about a week on Monday. That is it's it's going

1085
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,039
to at the end of the month week and half

1086
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:22,360
excuse me, and Kansas in two weeks is gonna be

1087
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,840
the same thing. You have to have guys like that

1088
00:51:25,559 --> 00:51:28,840
limit the bleeding when other guys are getting locked up

1089
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,079
and when they're gonna get the shots. And I've I've

1090
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:33,599
been impressed by his defense, I've not been impressed by

1091
00:51:33,639 --> 00:51:35,159
the big moments where he's supposed to be able to

1092
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:35,679
hit shots.

1093
00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:39,039
Speaker 3: How big of an issue is that dislocated pinky of

1094
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:39,760
Rob Wright.

1095
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:40,519
Speaker 1: I think it's fine.

1096
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he looked fine.

1097
00:51:42,599 --> 00:51:45,119
Speaker 4: Non shooting out he didn't look great, but he looked

1098
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,800
reasonable afterwards.

1099
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,079
Speaker 3: Non shooting hand. He does have it taped, you know

1100
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:55,519
what I mean. Looks a little disjointed, if you will.

1101
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,199
How big of an issue is that kugrenation? Final SoundBite

1102
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:03,559
from ky I believe where did things unravel? K Why

1103
00:52:04,159 --> 00:52:07,599
you were up nine and then uh they made six

1104
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,519
seven straight baskets without missing. What happened?

1105
00:52:11,519 --> 00:52:13,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you just nailed the shot making.

1106
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that this game is about making shots at the

1107
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,280
end of the day, and obviously you got to stop

1108
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,039
them from making shots. And they put a lot of

1109
00:52:21,079 --> 00:52:23,960
stress on you because they have talent. Uh, they're one

1110
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,199
of the best offensive teams I think in the country

1111
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,199
because of how much shooting they have along with two

1112
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,559
dynamic players. And then and then on the flip side,

1113
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:33,639
you know, we went cold and that that happens in games.

1114
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:40,199
Speaker 3: Don't fret, like I said, Uh, in my opinion, it

1115
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,559
was a great test that you're not at full strength.

1116
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,599
And ultimately, if you you know, if you went at

1117
00:52:48,599 --> 00:52:51,519
home and against the bottom half of the conference on

1118
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:54,760
the road, hopefully you split the road games against the

1119
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,400
top half and you're good and I think that still

1120
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,440
puts you in at like a three seed. Four seed.

1121
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,599
You need to be a three seed to really make

1122
00:53:01,639 --> 00:53:04,000
a run to the final four. Like, if you want

1123
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,719
to be a final four team at worst, you got

1124
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,519
to be a three seed, right, Like I think you

1125
00:53:08,599 --> 00:53:11,719
get a four five steed like you're you're you maybe yes,

1126
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,719
imagine you're gonna get matched up one hundred percent, like

1127
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,880
you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna enter into a bus

1128
00:53:18,039 --> 00:53:21,320
saw of a really hot and talented, well coached team.

1129
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:24,159
Got to get that three seed. You know, I need

1130
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,679
to see like Wafford in the Sweet sixteen. I need

1131
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,039

Sweet sixteen, Right, I need to see like you know,

00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:45,559
