fans that I interact with. I've pulled the stats and

47
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:11,199
most of the statistical compare and contrast has been Jake

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,919
Redsloft from last year and Bear.

49
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: Bachmeyer from this year.

00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:20,719
been starting at Tulane, and compare him to Bear Bachmer.

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:35,560
particular game versus the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Also, what

76
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,639
type of impact will the return of LJ Martin have

77
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:41,919
on this b YU offense.

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,919
Speaker 4: LJ will be playing, as I.

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,919
Speaker 2: Prognosticated last Wednesday before I went off to the Mouse

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:56,240
and spent all my life savings on churos and popcorn

81
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,879
and candy and just things that we don't need in

82
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:04,919
our lives, but we do what we do when we're

83
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:10,360
there anyway, Toys, the tickets, the hotels, all that stuff.

84
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,000
Before I went to the mouse, I prognosticated that, and

85
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:16,439
Pete Bamble of ESPN he broke the news today that

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,079
LJ has been practicing he will be playing for the

87
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,639
Cougars versus Texas Tech. What type of impact will that

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,519
have on the b ou offense. So all that and

Speaker 2: Just getting high quality buckets, getting to the rim, utilizing

103
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,920
your athleticism. Keba Cata don't real. Fdd AJ was fantastic, yes,

104
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,439
but Keva was the elite. He was celestial on both

105
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:22,720
sides of a four footback.

106
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,519
Speaker 4: He was baptizing fools. He was baptizing those dougs on

107
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,079
the footback.

108
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:31,759

00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,079
the rim.

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,199
Speaker 4: If Blake, Griffin and Ben Wallace had a baby, you'd

111
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,480
have kevia Cata. So we're gonna break it down.

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: Let's also welcome in Brett always bringing the hammer habittime show.

113

00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 6: Look, Pete Damil isn't the only insider breaking news today.

115
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,079
Speaker 7: My sources have told me Brandon Gurney was supposed to

116
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,639
be co hosting on the show today. My sources tell

117
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,439
me the reason Brandon Kearney did not show up today

118
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,000
is because he's boycotting the show as Ben went to

119
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,399
the Mouse this last weekend. So no Brandon's Gurney on

120
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:02,240
the show today. We'll see when the boycott ends.

121
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:04,199
Speaker 4: Gurney hates the Mouse.

122
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: There's not a human on earth that hates Disneyland more

123
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:12,920
than Brandon see Gurney of the Daily Herald. He hates it,

124
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,720
He adhores it, and uh look we hate it, but

125
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:19,959
we love it. It's a love hate relationship because Disney

126
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:24,040
is a ESPN. ESPN is Disney, so you're forced, you're

127
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,399
forced to love it. You know, when you go there,

128
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,240
you see the joy of your children's eyes.

129
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: You see the joy.

130
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:38,879
Speaker 2: You're you're vicariously experiencing something through their through their eyes. Right,

131
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,959
You're you're watching them just engage in a new experience.

132
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:44,879
You're like, look at the look at the little ones

133
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,079
having a gay old time, you know what I mean,

134
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,439
Like it's it's uh, it is tremendous, and my kids

135
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,079
loved every minute. Although my son was like I asked

136
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,439
him this morning, he said, hey, uh, you know, do

137
00:06:57,639 --> 00:06:59,319
you want to go back to Disneyland? And he's like no,

138
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,480
he said no.

139
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 7: I'm like, this is this is really good as in

140
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,639
because he's just like still tired out from going this

141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,480
last weekend or does it ever want to go again?

142
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: I think, dude, my son loves to like go hard,

143
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,040
but then he likes to get in bed by eight

144
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,560
and get some rest. And we were going to like eleven,

145
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,759
so every night he was falling asleep at the park.

146
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,560
We woke him up to go on Space Mountain. We

147
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,399
woke him up to go on Buzz light Year again,

148
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,759
and he loved Buzz light Year. But like, I just

149
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:34,560
think he's just he's petered out, like he's a little tired.

150
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,439
He's like, you guys go you guys. Like he enjoyed it, Yeah,

151
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,120
the Vignet's you know, all the things right, but I

152
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,759
don't think he liked Pirates all that much.

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: The scary pirates. Didn't like Pirates. I told him they

154
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,480
were robots. I told them they were fake.

155
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: Sure they do look real real though, Yeah they look good,

156
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,639
especially if you're, yeah, a little kid. I was like,

157
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,839
they're fake, it's all pretend, and so I had to

158
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:58,800
kind of convince him. So the second time on Pirates

159
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:00,720
he was okay, but he just didn't really like. He

160
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:03,439
didn't like the Blue Bayou we ate there, and so

161
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,360
he didn't like Pirates, so he didn't like Blue Bayou anyway.

162
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,800
There was a lot of things. He doesn't want to

163
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:09,720
go back, which I think is a good sign. It's

164
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:10,600
a great sign for me.

165
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 7: I mean, so my wife and I we went this

166
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:14,839
last summer, and I will say, like, I love Disney.

167
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,000
I loved Disney. I've never been to Disneyland. I've only

168
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,519
been a disney World growing upcause that grew up in

169
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:19,000
the East Coast.

170
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:20,279
Speaker 6: And we went hard.

171
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 7: We went three days and then we came home, and

172
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,959
I will say, after we came home, I was like, look,

173
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,399
that was so much fun, but I need like at

174
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,879
least a six month break before I go again. And

175
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,199
you couldn't pay me to go again. Because just to

176
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,919
his to your son's point, it's an exhausting experience. You

177
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,360
have so much fun that you're just kind of like, Okay,

178
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:39,200

Speaker 6: All right.

224
00:10:57,159 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: So BYU men's basketball Game one was able to knock

225
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,799
off Villanova the Wildcats a little Cougar on cougar action

226
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,480
Timomore Ariba Arena in Vegas, seventy one sixty six.

227
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,759
Speaker 4: What a way to tip off.

228
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,279
Speaker 2: The basketball season for the Cougs with a nail bider.

229
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,600
It looked like BYU was in cruise control, up double

230
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,159
digits at some points in this game, and then the

231
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,240
Villanova Wildcats came roaring back.

232
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:28,279
Speaker 4: They were sharp shooting from the perimeter.

233
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: We had difficulty closing out in space, I thought, and

234
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:38,159
in one particular.

235
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 4: Player Peterson I believe was freaking amazing.

236
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: He was he was in fuego. I don't know what

237
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,879
his percentage was, but it seemed like he couldn't miss. Sorry,

238
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,120
it was Bryce Lindsay, right, it was Bryce Lindsay seven

239
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:56,000
to fourteen from the field twenty two points for him.

240
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,559
He also added five rebounds in two assists. Lindsay was

241
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,039
on fire for much of the game. Sorry, seven to

242
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,840
fourteen from the field, at five for nine from the

243
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:06,720
three point line.

244
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,519
Speaker 4: Crazy.

245
00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:11,799
Speaker 2: Uh, he kept this Wildcat team in the game, but

246
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:14,240
by you fat away at the end to pull away.

247
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,919
Let's listen in uh with with b what getting the

248
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,720
victory the Dubs seventy one sixty six.

249
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: Let's listen in to k y Aj and the crew.

250
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:28,799
Speaker 8: It was quiet twenty one for you today, but down

251
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,519
the stretch he hit multiple key baskets.

252
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 9: What was kind of working for you especially late there tonight?

253
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean we were in the bonus and k

254
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,480
I was just telling me to keep attacking the rim

255
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,399
because I don't want to really foul. So just hasn't

256
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,639
to that advice, and I just try to get to

257
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,480
the rim, makeing plays.

258
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:45,399
Speaker 1: How to kind of feel playing your first official basketball

259
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:45,960
game now.

260
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,799
Speaker 10: I felt good, definitely definitely different from the exhibitions, but

261
00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:50,399
it just feels good to get under my belt.

262
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,159
Speaker 3: I'm gon gonna win.

263
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 9: Coach, what'd you think of as performance? I mean I

264
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:59,039
just thought down the stretch, you know, we put the

265
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,000
ball in his hands. He made plays, you know, So

266
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,519
his first game to be able to have the poison

267
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:05,360
do that I.

268
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: Thought was impressive. He finally got his body in there

269
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:09,759
and got some offensive rebounds two which I was happy

270
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:12,639
to see. But you know, there's a lot. What I

271
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:16,159
just told the guys is, you know, to be able

272
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,000
to pull out a tough win like that in.

273
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:19,759
Speaker 9: The first team of the year, that's just a toughness

274
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,039
one stuff you can build on, you know, AJ, And

275
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,519
included in that, AJ, what can.

276
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,399
Speaker 1: You say about you?

277
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: So?

278
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:33,759
Speaker 2: AJ debotsa thirty two minutes, twenty one points, six rebounds,

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,440
three assists. Two of those were offensive rebounds. By the way,

280
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,200
nine of eighteen for the field, fifty percent from the field.

281
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,000
They're one of one from the three point line, two

282
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:42,679
or seven from the charity stripe. We want to see

283
00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:44,480
that obviously improve. He's going to have to put in

284
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:48,639
those reps. But overall, and an outstanding performance from the

285
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,399
number one overall recruit in this last year's class and

286
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,360
potentially the number one overall prospect in next year's NBA draft. Guys,

287
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:00,200
your thoughts for comment? Jarry on AJ to Botch of right,

288
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:02,360
you start Ronald the three man weaver after him.

289
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 7: Oh, I'd just like to stir the pot a little

290
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,360
bit more. You know who else had twenty one points

291
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,399
last night? Twenty one on the nose? That would be

292
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:14,240
one Darren Peterson over at Kansas. Now, in AJ's defense,

293
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:17,960
AJ did it against Villanova. Darren Peterson did it against

294
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,919
Western Zimbabwe Dental College.

295
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 6: I don't know who they patted last night, Green.

296
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:26,919
Speaker 7: Bay, Phoenix Gros step just above Zimbobwait Dental College. But

297
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:29,600
I as soon as I saw that last night, I

298
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,480
was like, well, I guess this little rivalry is gonna

299
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,080
be going all season long.

300
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 6: As both guys scored twenty one on their opening nights.

301
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 7: AJ was awesome last night especially, and I thought the

302
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:44,559
reporter who asked the question made a great point, like

303
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,159
a lot of those were big.

304
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 6: Buckets down the stretch.

305
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 7: The one that immediately comes to mind is that one

306
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,519
where he has the guy on his hip, spins back

307
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:57,360
to his left side, scoop and score. What I also

308
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,919
loved is that you didn't feel like A tried to

309
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,360
take over the game too much. I think they said

310
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:06,200
at half he was like plus fourteen and the plus minus,

311
00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:09,039
which was a little bit shocking because again, like I

312
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,879
think he only had like nine ten points at halftime.

313
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 6: It's not as though AJ just came in and said, Hey,

314
00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:16,360
this is the AJ Debonca Show. Get out of the way.

315
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:19,159
AJ does a great job at like being the number

316
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:19,720
one recruit.

317
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 7: And again we heard that probably plus or minus forty

318
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,360
five times last night. Oh, he's the number one recruit,

319
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:26,879
always going to be the number.

320
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:27,279
Speaker 6: One draft pick.

321
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 7: But you never felt like AJ Debonza wanted to make

322
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,919
it the AJ show. He just made the right play.

323
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,960
And at the beginning of the game, that was throwing

324
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,440
a lob to Keba, which I can't remember if he

325
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,679
says it in this or if he said it in

326
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:42,120
his postgame interview, but he's like, yeah, Richie told me

327
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,440
that I was throwing these lobs to Keba wrong because

328
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,679
you actually have to throw it higher. I thought I

329
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:48,320
was throwing it too high, and Richie told me that

330
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:51,360
you can't throw a lob too high to Keba. I

331
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,759
thought AJ did a great job, but just always making

332
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,720
the right play. And sometimes that was AJ going in

333
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,120
getting the basket. Sometimes it was getting to the free

334
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:01,799
throw line, but some times it was dishing and getting dimes.

335
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,159
And I thought AJ did a great job especially in

336
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,120
his first collegiate game in Vegas on the biggest stage,

337
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,120
nastally televised.

338
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 6: AH did a great job Boston.

339
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:09,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

340
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: I was actually most impressed by his playmaking ability. Yeah,

341
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,159
I mean I figured he'd be able to get to

342
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,759
the rim. I figured his athleticism, is length, his twitch

343
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:20,320
would all translate to this next level, and it did.

344
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:23,840
What I was more impressed by was his vision and

345
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,399
how he got his teammates involved. When you draw two

346
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,879
defenders to you, you split them and you find an easy, peasy.

347
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:34,159
Speaker 4: Dump off bucket off the glass point blank.

348
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: And there were times in which he was distributing the

349
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:42,000
basketball and BYU's his teammates missed those wide open shots.

350
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,039
So it's like, Okay, that's fine, that was a missed opportunity,

351
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,960
But he was still looking for others to make plays.

352
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,759
He's an unselfish player that wants to be a well

353
00:16:51,919 --> 00:16:56,720
rounded basketball player so that he can he can be

354
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:59,799
a great teammate, and that is in this a.

355
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 4: A breath of freaking fresh air. Ronald, your thoughts on AJ's.

356
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: Performance, absolutely, but before just the Buggy guys a little bit.

357
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,519
I mean, AJ was nice, Darren was nice, but I

358
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:14,640
think CoA. Pete had the best performance thirty six eighteen from.

359
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 6: Shooting.

360
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: He dropped thirty beat number three Florida who won it

361
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:23,519
last year. So might have to give him a little

362
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:25,359
bit of love just playing a little bit more poking

363
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,119
the bear. No, but ag I thought I did phenomenal.

364
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:27,319
Speaker 4: Ben.

365
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: I think he did exactly what he was supposed to.

366
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720
My biggest thing that I love is how coachable he is.

367
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:35,799
In the postgame, Kevin Young's talking to Andy Katz and said, yeah,

368
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:39,000
I got on him by maybe taking some shots. That's

369
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,039
he doesn't need to take it. That's not him. He

370
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,920
comes down to transition to put the game away and

371
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,279
pulls up on a mid range and Kevin Young during

372
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:47,119
the time I goes right up to him and has

373
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:49,960
completely coaches him, and AJ's like, not got you and

374
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:51,759
then goes and doesn't do that the next play. That

375
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,640
is what makes you, I think, a talented player. All

376
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,640
the other things are great, but to be coachable, because

377
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,559
sometimes guys that are this high, you know, getting the

378
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,680
national attention, gonna be a player, you can't coach them.

379
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Sometimes they're a headache. They got a lot of pride,

380
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,759
you know, ego, and AJ doesn't have that. So I

381
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,680
thought that was the biggest part about yesterday. He was

382
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,119
getting coachable and applying everything that Kevin Young and the

383
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,039
staff said. That's what stuck out to me the most.

384
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 4: What did you have to say there? I know you

385
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,079
were trying to interject you sho was going off.

386
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 7: I do need to talk about this Arizona game because

387
00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:25,640
Ronald and I talked about the Big twelve media poll

388
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:28,759
last week, and I'm a man who can happily admit

389
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,960
when I was wrong. And I said this to ron

390
00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:33,839
ron was there. I said, you know, Arizona really doesn't

391
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,119
bug me that much. There's no more Caleb Love in

392
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,359
the building. I think by you will be okay taken

393
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,720
on Arizona today or this year. And then CoA Pate

394
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:44,240
showed up yesterday and had the game of the night

395
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,200
in college basketball. So I just need to walk that

396
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,039
take back a little bit and say I may have

397
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,480
been wrong about this Arizona team. They absolutely earned my

398
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:54,680
respect last night and they will be earning the Big

399
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:56,079
twelve respect this season.

400
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,519
Speaker 6: Kevin with even without Caleb.

401
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,039
Speaker 2: Love, let's go back to the sound A J. Debonza,

402
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,480
k Y and the crew. I believe Richie Saunders was there. Sorry,

403
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:09,440
Rob Wright was there. Let's tune in experience you in

404
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:11,680
Las Vegas from the time you got here, you know,

405
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,240
the crowd being into.

406
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 10: Us here two he said, the experience, yeah, oh yeah,

407
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,160
it was a great outcome. Obviously, we have YU fans

408
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,400
everywhere and they and they show support. It was it

409
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,319
was damn near a home game for us, the amount

410
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:26,000
of fans over there. So I'm just very grateful for

411
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,480
you know, the whole just fans here and you know,

412
00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:31,480
the Mormon community to show support.

413
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,079
Speaker 2: Damn near a home game. Love the Mormon community coming

414
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:41,839
out and supporting. Love that AJ shout out to you, bro.

415
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:48,279
He like AJ has embraced Brigham and the Latter Day community.

416
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:48,599
Speaker 6: Right.

417
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: That kind of booies up the b y U Athletic department.

418
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,160
It's a breath of fresh air too. It's nice to

419
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:59,680
have an advocate here. You can begin to see why

420
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,680
the coaching staff and everybody else, all the power brokers

421
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,680
that were there at attendance. Remember Ryan Smith was there,

422
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,319
Danny Angel was there. The trifecta, if you will, of

423
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,839
power brokers within the BA athletic department. Brian Santiago, You

424
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,480
begin to realize just how why they went so hard

425
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:25,960
at AJ And what's great is Ace and his wonderful wife.

426
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,079
They were interviewed during the broadcast. I don't know if

427
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,599
you guys tuned into this, but Ace was the one

428
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,480
that was like pushing AJ to say, Hey, I think

429
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:38,319
you need to look at BYU. Don't count out BYU yet,

430
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,319
you think you need to visit And all we hear

431
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,319
now still, even when AJ's playing is the only reason

432
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,680
why he's at BYU is because of the filthy luker

433
00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:50,640
the Nil and AJ consistently and Ace consistently goes on

434
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,480
record and says like no, like they weren't the highest offered,

435
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:55,799
they weren't the highest bider. In fact, we kept that

436
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,519
information from AJ so that he wouldn't allow that to

437
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,319
deter him from going to the place that he really

438
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,880
wanted to go. We just wanted it to be a

439
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,400
competitive offer. That's it, right, That's essentially what they've stated

440
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,880
on record. Yet you have time and time again adlers,

441
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,920
pundit social media warriors out there saying there's no ay

442
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,200
in A.

443
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: The only reason why AJ's.

444
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: Playing for byus because of Nil, a filthy luker. I

445
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,880
don't know how many times he's got to say it,

446
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,519
but he's been consistent from front end the back end,

447
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,759
and he's gonna have to continue to maybe disrupt that narrative.

448
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,279
Speaker 7: Similar to Joel Klatt, some people will just believe whatever

449
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,599
they want to believe, irrespective of whether or not it's true.

450
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Because to your point, I did a video about this

451
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:45,160
the other day, and I had people in my comment saying,

452
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,599
oh yeah, like the data of the recruit wouldn't lie,

453
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,200
And I'm like, okay, But what's more believable the fact

454
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,839
that the parents are saying this, or the fact that

455
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,400
some burner that you found on Reddit is saying that, oh,

456
00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:00,319
so and so gave him X amount of dollars. I mean,

457
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,160
it is a little ridiculous, but I think at the

458
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,000
end of the day, it doesn't really matter because b

459
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:08,559
what you got ajabonsa Iijedewontsa is happy to be at BYU,

460
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,279
and BYU is thriving because of him.

461
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,279
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Who Sports did a piece on him, got

462
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:16,000
some quotes from Ace. Why would a player who had

463
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,240
his pick of blue bloods choose a program that that

464
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,000
last made the Elite eight more than four decades ago.

465
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Why would the potential number one overall pick in the

466
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,640
twenty twenty six NBA Draft.

467
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: Go somewhere.

468
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: With that bleak history of developing pros, why would a

469
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:32,880
non Mormon from Massachusetts elect a highly religious school who's

470
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:37,119
infamously strict honor could forbid smoking, drinking, sex outside a marriage,

471
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,799
or even a cup of tea or coffee. This is

472
00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:44,960
what AJ's fathering A Stabonsa, told Yahoo Sports. A lot

473
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,160
of people say he went there for the bags, and

474
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,160
yet Ace insists it wasn't all about nil money. There

475
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:54,960
was a certain financial bar that colleges had to demonstrate

476
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,559
they could meet, according to Ace, before the de bonsas

477
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:04,359
consider them serious options. The families asking price, per Yahoo

478
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,839
Sports was around five million, multiple sources familiar with AJ's

479
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,640
recruma told Yahoo Sports. Ace declined comments except to say

480
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,200
I'm happy with what I got for my son. In

481
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:19,960
an era when the sky skyrocketing nil market has made

482
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:23,880
college basketball more lucrative than playing professionally overseas, many programs

483
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,119
were willing to meet the Devons's price stag AJ considered

484
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:30,799
the merits of more than a dozen schools, according to Ace,

485
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,039
nearing his finalist to Alabama BYU Kannesus and North Carolina

486
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,000
before signing with the Cougars. In fact, I don't know

487
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,119
if you guys heard, Bruce Pearl was in the mix

488
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:45,400
right recruiting aj and and Jamal Mashburn inquired during the

489
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,880
post game about I said recruitment, and Bruce Pearl even

490
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,119
did like this alluded like, oh you you did it

491
00:23:54,319 --> 00:23:59,599
like a pro. You held out like a pro. Hell

492
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:03,839
like that insinuates right, a little bit of like holding

493
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,680
out for the best offer. So you're this is gonna

494
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,039
have to be a point of conversation throughout the especially

495
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,839
like it's gonna happen and Ace is gonna have to

496
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,880
go on record, a j will have to go on record,

497
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,839
and it'll.

498
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: Continue throughout the season.

499
00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:21,839
Speaker 7: Mashburn is that that was the name of the Jaal

500
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:24,640
Jameel Mashburn. Jameal Bashburn was a bucket, by the way.

501
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,279
Ja I do feel as though like he threw some

502
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,400
backhanded compliments BYU's way, because he was like, oh yeah,

503
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,319
when I was at in school, I wanted to go

504
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,519
somewhere that was gonna prepare me via pro. But they

505
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:39,839
they I was taking it on as a challenge to

506
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,680
go to school there because they weren't very good and

507
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,559
they hadn't been very good in a while, and I

508
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,519
applaud AJ for doing the same thing. And I'm like, look,

509
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,960
I get BYU is not Duke, they are not Kansas,

510
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,319
they are not UNC. I get all of that, but also,

511
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,359
let's not pretend like BYU is like the equivalent of

512
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:58,960
going to I don't even know who a bad basketball

513
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,559
But I felt like it was a little bit of Wow,

514
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,160
good on you.

515
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 6: For trying to take this no name mid major program

516
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,519
to start them.

517
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:09,079
Speaker 7: And it's like, okay, they were competing with Alabama for

518
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,160
an elite Like, let's BOU is better at basketball than

519
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:14,680
just some mid major, no.

520
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 6: Name school that AJ is taking a chance.

521
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:22,279
Speaker 2: Well, you're fighting against the public relations battle of conference

522
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,079
affiliation and being on the West Coast and having low density,

523
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:27,400
you know, population.

524
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: Okay, that's just is what it is, and not being as.

525
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: As marketable for the television rights in those major metropolitan

526
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,920
Midwest East Coast South.

527
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,559
Speaker 4: Cities, right and and and so that's just is what

528
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:42,960
it is.

529
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:45,839
Speaker 2: And yeah, he's right, Tom Massballer's right, It's not like

530
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,559
BOU basketball has been a dominant elite basketball program. They've

531
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:52,440
been good, they've been competitive, they go to NCAA tournaments.

532
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,480
They just don't survive in advance as much as they

533
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:58,720
would like to. But like to say that Boe basketball

534
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:02,480
is it said, that's a nice, little, nothing special program

535
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:05,839
and they're in the dregs of the college basketball world.

536
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,960
That's that's a bit falls It's a fallacious statement, no

537
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:12,720
doubt about it. So Jamal went to Kentucky though, and

538
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,559
was a first round fourth overall pick and played in

539
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,559
the league from ninety three to two thousand and five

540
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,640
along very good career. Was an NBA All Star, All

541
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:26,920
NBA Third Team, NBL Rookie First Team, and so he's

542
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,759
a good basketball player and was a bucket note most

543
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:33,640
definitely in college. Okay, let's get back to some of

544
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,319
the sound and then we'll call in a segment. Kevin

545
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:37,839
Young a JABOTSA, Rob Wright.

546
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 11: A j.

547
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,079
Speaker 5: I believe it was somewhere near midseason of the Aces.

548
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,920
I think Sunny introduced us, and so you got to

549
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,759
taste of what the basketball fever and crowd is like

550
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,359
in Las Vegas, and you sort of when you got

551
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,079
here with the.

552
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,519
Speaker 1: What you sort of thought about that and knew that

553
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,480
the what Vegas was gonna bring it.

554
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, I mean from from those games.

555
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 10: Obviously, I knew that the Aces have a huge rainbase,

556
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,680
so I wasn't really actually expecting it to be like.

557
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,079
Speaker 11: What it was.

558
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 10: But they showed great support, and I love Vegas for that.

559
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 6: Coach Jo.

560
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 12: As the game got closer towards the end, it seemed

561
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960
like your team turned up defensive intensity.

562
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: Could you speak to that? Yeah, you know, I mean

563
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,480
we were employing these guys to just lock in and

564
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:23,079
get stops.

565
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,279
Speaker 9: I thought, I thought, uh, you know, moo Davis really really.

566
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,839
Speaker 1: Stepped up defensively. I thought, all these guys did you know?

567
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 9: Obviously, uh, Lindsay really got gone, so we didn't do

568
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,319
a bit enough job on him.

569
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: But I thought, we we just found a way to

570
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,200
find enough stops there. I think that says a lot

571
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,960
about you know, our group more just you're you're playing

572
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:46,640
over the summer.

573
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: What what did they do to sort of prepare you

574
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:49,599
for this moment?

575
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 10: I mean, just playing in the offseason with all these guys.

576
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,400
Obviously we actually have returners like Trey Story and trempan

577
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,279
Hill come down there and just get some bumping with us.

578
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,799
So it just kind of got me better playing with

579
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,960
older guys. But I've been playing with older guys my

580
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,559
whole life, so I was.

581
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:04,039
Speaker 1: Kind of used to it.

582
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,519
Speaker 10: But it wasn't like how colleges were like twenty six

583
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:08,039
years grown men. So it was just good to just

584
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,640
get some older, you know, older people to defend me

585
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,160
in for me to defend So I mean, I had

586
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:13,720
got me better.

587
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: He also mentioned this in the TV post game discussing

588
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,720
how kind of older tenured grown men keba uh, he's

589
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:29,079
Leonel Richie and even Rob who played in the Big

590
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,839
twelve last year, And then he mentioned Tray Stewart. He

591
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,039
mentioned who else did he mention in that? I know

592
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,640
he mentioned Trey that came in, and I know Trevin

593
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,839
Trevin was there too, So yeah, like they're you're only

594
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,680
as good as your mentors. You're only good as the

595
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,039
people you around yourself with. And being able to compete

596
00:28:48,039 --> 00:28:50,759
at high one of the reasons why I remember you guys,

597
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,200
don't recall I was governing the Cougars at the time, uh,

598
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,759
you know, two thousand, like at the back end of

599
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,440
the of the Dave Rose era. One of the issues

600
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:02,799
was be Yu was in the West Coast Conference, okay,

601
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,640
and so and your non conference schedule was okay, as well,

602
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:12,319
it wasn't necessarily a refining fire. Furthermore, in practice, you

603
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,119
had some high level players and then you had like

604
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,200
these mid level players and maybe even a few low

605
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:19,640
level players, and so day in and day out, the

606
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,400
practices weren't as competitive and they weren't as refined. So

607
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:28,200
guys like Eric Mika, Elijah Bryant, a few others they

608
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,240
left early to go play overseas or in the G League.

609
00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 4: Okay, you only child.

610
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: Tried to leave early and then came back for the

611
00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:42,200
Mark Pope initial season, that introductory season of the Mark

612
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,720
Pope era. Because he's like, okay, like I could be

613
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:48,480
a second round pick possibly or an overseas earlyague or

614
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,240
a G League guy.

615
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 4: You know what do I do? Right? I'm not a

616
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:54,200
first round guy, but like, I need to go get better?

617
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:55,279
Does that make sense?

618
00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: And you get better by playing against better players. So

619
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,720
I love the fact that Ka he was bringing back

620
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,079
some of these older guys to run. And I don't

621
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:05,400
know what they get. I don't know what the incentive

622
00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:07,920
is for them. I don't know how that works, but

623
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,319
it helps, it really does. And I remember, like I

624
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,240
remember doing.

625
00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: The Pope era. You know, some of the coaches would

626
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,319
be running with the team.

627
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:21,359
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, I don't know if Burgess would

628
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,960
kind of run with him a little bit, right, and

629
00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:28,279
I remember they're trying to give him a good look.

630
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,839
You have to be in these competitive environments daying and down.

631
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,000
Otherwise guys are like, hey, I'm not getting better, I'm

632
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,039
not being impressed, I'm not being stretched, and I got

633
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,359
to move on. Yeah, oh yeah, Zach Sellias was here too,

634
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:45,319
Brandon Davies was here in the offseason. I mean, you're

635
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,119
running with dudes, guys that have made like a lot

636
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,359
of money overseas. Zach Sellius is like the MVP of

637
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,400
his league, Brandon Davies, who's been making coin for the

638
00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:01,559
last seven eight years over seas in Spain at the

639
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,480
highest level of EuroLeague Play, winning championships, one of the

640
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:10,319
highest paid players, one of the highest played big men overseas.

641
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:15,200
So yeah, like it, it matters, it really does, going

642
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,160
against the grown men and refining fire. So that's what

643
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,000
by is about right now, and it's really exciting. Let's

644
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,079
go to break. We'll come back. More commentary and more

645
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,720

646

697
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: B Y, you shot thirty nine point four percent from

698
00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:59,559
the field and Villanova thirty five point eight percent. They

699
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,480
did not you well from the three point line. Unfortunately,

700
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:05,400
b YU is no longer three yu. Are we gonna

701
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,079
be able to remedy? Are we gonna be able to

702
00:34:08,119 --> 00:34:11,320
find our our stroke from the perimeter? What do you

703
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,199
guys think, Ronald the three man weaver Brett always bringing

704
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:14,639
the hammer?

705
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 6: Any concern there all start?

706
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,159
Speaker 3: No, I don't think there's any concern, Ben, If I'm

707
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:22,000
gonna be honest, Look, threes will fall sometimes as not

708
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:24,559
your day, Richie Synder said, seventy five threes last year.

709
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,000
Not really concerned. I know people started at the beginning

710
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,119
of the season, But look, Ben, when I'm looking at

711
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:32,079
these percentage numbers, if you're able to beat a Villanova team,

712
00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:34,360
the o they're figuring things out. Rob was five of

713
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,920
sixteen oh of three, Richie was one of four, four

714
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,960
of thirteen. You shot twenty nine percent from three to

715
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,039
thirty nine percent from the field, and you Aj was

716
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:44,119
booboo from the charity stripe. I mean, outside of that,

717
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,800
his game was great. I'm not worried. I think BYU

718
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,159
would be just fine because ideally, think about this Ben,

719
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440
they were up fourteen and they got a little laxa

720
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,639
days ago, AJ, Rob and Richie. I think at one point,

721
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:56,639
if I'm wrong, we're all out of the game. That

722
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,159
can't happen because they got to figure out the bench

723
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,360
rotation and you were up fourteen, like you should have.

724
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,000
You should have won that game by twenty in my opinion.

725
00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:06,119
So if you're doing that to start off, just with

726
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,880
the talent like this is like BA football. This yere right,

727
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,320
That talent is light years above and what has been

728
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,800
in the past, and you're doing a performance like that

729
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,159
and you just execute. Imagine what happens when you execute,

730
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,480
of how they'll be in rhythm and with chemistry. So no,

731
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,119
not concerned at all. Especially it's a non conference You've

732
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:25,719
got time before conference played a get it figured out.

733
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,440
What I am worried about. And this is a conversation

734
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:30,920
for a maybe later. You can't give up seventeen offensive rebounds,

735
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,199
and that's what I am concerned about.

736
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, is that gonna be an issue throughout the season?

737
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,519
You wonder.

738
00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 6: Very well? Could be.

739
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,039
Speaker 2: I mean with Kiva not on the floor, there may

740
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:49,280
be some issues there now coulde. Maboop is a good player,

741
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,880
He's going to be a good player. But is he

742
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:52,679
the answer?

743
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,559
Speaker 4: Is he the backup?

744
00:35:55,079 --> 00:36:01,199
Speaker 2: Zadian did receive some playing time as well. And Yes,

745
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,320
every time I see Xavian State and I start to

746
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,760
see the Humpty dance, this is your chance to do

747
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,800
the dance and do the hump the Humpty dance. For

748
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,400
those that know what I'm talking about, shout out to you.

749
00:36:14,519 --> 00:36:18,039
I think they look very much alike. And my crew

750
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:20,440
here doesn't know about the Humpty dance and they need to.

751
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,639
Speaker 3: Know about Sorry, I'm gonna have to learn about it.

752
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you guys gonna have to know about it.

753
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:26,519
You guys know Humpty?

754
00:36:26,679 --> 00:36:29,679
Speaker 3: No, all right, I don't know. I'm coachable. You can

755
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,119
teach me about you know the Humpty?

756
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll send it to you, guys. Beautiful look alike.

757
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,559
There's a there's a doppel ganger. Anyway, let's get back

758
00:36:36,599 --> 00:36:39,400
to the sound, shall we. Uh, let's get back to

759
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,199
the sound where we picked up or where we left off.

760
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,000
B YU postgame commentary from k y A, J. Dabonsa

761
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:47,719
and Rob.

762
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 7: Wright able to get downhill and you know you're It's

763
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:53,840
it's very obvious that you're the floor general for this team,

764
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,440
But how is it getting this one game under your belt?

765
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,559
Speaker 1: I mean, even though this is your second year playing,

766
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,320
so really a new team for me.

767
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 9: So to go out there our first game and get

768
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,960
a win, I mean, I'm super excited and I'm thankful

769
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:07,639
for AJ and coach Young.

770
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: Right here, just trust me at the end to make plays.

771
00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 8: Coach, it was the seat of blue today in the

772
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,679
stands on one of the loudest environments I've ever been in.

773
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,840
What was that like from your guys for everybody's perspective

774
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,719
of just as the game goes on, the stadium gets

775
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,599
louder and you guys were just feeding off the energy.

776
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's amazing.

777
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 9: I mean, B WHYU such a special university because there's

778
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,000
everyone thinks b why you travel as well, But there's

779
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,079
just BYU fans in every city in the world. Honesty,

780
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,079
but we feel it for sure when we go on

781
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:40,519
the road. Obviously out West we feel it even more.

782
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,519
But it's just it's hard to describe it because I

783
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:45,960
feel like we.

784
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: Have almost like a home court advantage in a lot

785
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:51,519
of places outside of the Marriott Center, which is really unique.

786
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:54,559
Speaker 3: Rob, I saw you've not in your head along with

787
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:55,960
everything Coach was saying just.

788
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 13: There about this fan base with traveling fan basic you've got.

789
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,280
You played against it, so but what was it like

790
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,199
kind of having an entire NHL arena kind of rooting

791
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,039
you on in your opener?

792
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 12: It was really crazy, especially in the second half when

793
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,159
they picked it up when we needed.

794
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,599
Speaker 1: Some big stops. I think they helped us definitely get

795
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:17,280
some energy and get those stops at them. Of what

796
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,159
can we be expecting from you guys the next few games?

797
00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:27,079
W's and one more question, if you guys can pick

798
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:29,360
any NBA team to go to, what team would'all want

799
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,559
to go to? Whatever? Paton team?

800
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,039
Speaker 12: Thank you guys, Kevin, You guys only took seventeen to

801
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:40,760
three pointers.

802
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: Was that a result of the way they were playing yet?

803
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:43,519
Speaker 2: Or is that?

804
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: Is this the new BYU offense?

805
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 9: Heart to say honestly, after I think it'll be I

806
00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:51,880
pick your poison type thing.

807
00:38:52,119 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to protect the paint more

808
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:54,760
than they did.

809
00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 9: That's what they did in their their exhibition name against Virginia.

810
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:01,960
But we have two guys and Rob and AJ, that

811
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:04,519
I think can get to the rim against any opponent

812
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:05,679
any night, and so.

813
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: I think it's something that we will definitely get used to.

814
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,519
Speaker 9: But at the same time, there's areas of growth. You know,

815
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,079
it can't just be drived to the rim and just

816
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:16,960
throw something up. We gotta we gotta do a better

817
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:19,159
job paying decisions, and these two guys have been The

818
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:22,280
thing I love about both these guys truly is how

819
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,000
much they want to improve and learn. I think Rob's

820
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,320
made huge stride since when he first got here. I

821
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,280
think Aj even a halftime I had just whispered something

822
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,960
to him about I thought he was going in just

823
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:35,360
kind of jumping wildly over Brennan, and then at the

824
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,400
second half I saw I think you saw him being

825
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,400
a little bit more calculated with his drives. And so

826
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,360
these guys are really coachable and we'll get We'll definitely

827
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,519
get better in that respect, But I don't know if

828
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:46,119
it's this is.

829
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: Gonna be a forty three point a night type group.

830
00:39:49,079 --> 00:39:50,199
We'll have to see how it goes.

831
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 12: And then I just wanted to ask about their second

832
00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:58,039
chance points. Is that just a function of they missed

833
00:39:58,039 --> 00:39:59,960
a lot of shots and had a lot of opportunity.

834
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,239
Are you disappointed?

835
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,559
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, no, fair, great question.

836
00:40:03,639 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm not smart enough to do what their

837
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,320
actual offensive rebounding percentages.

838
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,039
Speaker 1: I'll have to ask my analytics down that.

839
00:40:10,119 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 9: However, No, I love Brandon punked us honestly in the

840
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,679
first half and in the second half.

841
00:40:16,519 --> 00:40:19,079
Speaker 1: I mean now Sappion said our defense was pretty solid.

842
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 9: We did forced misses, but we got to do and

843
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,480
when we can't give up seventeen offensive rebounds.

844
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: No matter how many times we make them.

845
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:30,079
Speaker 2: Miss Ronnie, I know you want to chime in on this,

846
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,920
your thoughts on the most recent comments from Ky and

847
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,440
some of the questions they're reimposed.

848
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: Great question about Jay Drew you no, but this is

849
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,360
what I was talking about, what I hinted about earlier

850
00:40:40,679 --> 00:40:43,960
when I said, you know, offensive rebounds being a problem

851
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,199
seventeen now I think was the bigger issue. I know

852
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,559
you had some up and downs. That's a part of basketball.

853
00:40:48,639 --> 00:40:51,039
Roller coaster. But the seventeen offensive rebounds, like you mentioned,

854
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,000
when Cable goes off the floor, that's like, okay, well

855
00:40:54,039 --> 00:40:55,559
who is gonna step up? What are you gonna do?

856
00:40:55,599 --> 00:40:57,679
How are you gonna challenge yourself? And they challenge themselves late,

857
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,960
But again Cable was in the game. Now you hope

858
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,559
that he just knocked knees, like the broadcast said, can't

859
00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:03,639
be having that game one?

860
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 6: You can't.

861
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,079
Speaker 3: You hope that doesn't happen. He's your best defender. I

862
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:10,920
do believe that right now. But I mean that's like

863
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:13,400
Kevin Young was right, they punked them in great question

864
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,000
by Jay Drew. But I just thought that the times

865
00:41:17,079 --> 00:41:20,760
Baus faltered last year been where they lost games is

866
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,840
when they got killed on the glass. And when you

867
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,320
allow a team to grab seventeen offensive rebounds. Sure, Villanovo's

868
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,760
ten of thirty five from three they were terrible, absolutely,

869
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,880
but a team did you see the dude from Arizona?

870
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,480
Did you see Daron Peterson? If you want to give Kansas,

871
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,119
if you want to give Arizona seventeen offensive rebounds, I

872
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,920
promise you it's not gonna go too well. For you're

873
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,960
gonna lose by fifteen in the second half.

874
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 6: That to that team.

875
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 3: So hope they correct that. That's an issue that I see.

876
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,800
You gotta get on the glass. Kevin Ung always talks

877
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,039
about that, and I said that yesterday when you said,

878
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,480
give me the identity of this team. Okay, well you

879
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:54,679
can't let this team, you know, grab rebounds. That's what

880
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,960
they want to do, and they want to push to

881
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,119
pace and temple slow you down. And then they want

882
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:00,800
to shoot threes. And that's exactly what Nova did. They

883
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,840
weren't able to execute, but they did a few things.

884
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,239
So Bwing used to figure that out. Ben, you gotta

885
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,760
get on the glass and take it away. And this

886
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,960
is where maybe losing Fus is a big deal. Fus

887
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:14,159
might not having Fus this year might come to Fruition

888
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,000
at certain points in the season because sometimes him being

889
00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:19,639
coming off the bench might have been maybe not as

890
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,480
you know, it was nice.

891
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: It was very nice because Keipa sits down and Fus

892
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,760
is just as good of a rebounder. He's got a

893
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,239
seven foot wingspan, he's he's plus u in the in

894
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,440
his reach and and look like like he was a

895
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:36,920
very good rebounder. Fus was a beast. He was a

896
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,239
double double machine and so that was a big time

897
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,000
and he was a great ISO player of the low

898
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:43,440
block and extended blocks.

899
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 4: So goodness, was he a pick and roll monster?

900
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: No, Like he was not very good there, but uh,

901
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,480
he was two thirds of what you would want from

902
00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:57,719
a big uh. And so to me, it's not we

903
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,400
got to figure it out. It's Kadeem and Mehilo, you

904
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,639
guys gotta figure it out. You guys gotta figure out.

905
00:43:02,679 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 11: And then.

906
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 4: Everybody else has to kind of lift where they stand.

907
00:43:06,519 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: And Aj, like like Kevin went out of his way

908
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,360
in the the post game pressure to say AJ got

909
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:15,239
to rebound, So I would say AJ.

910
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 4: Also, AJ is.

911
00:43:16,639 --> 00:43:20,519
Speaker 2: A big, strong, athletic dude, and he's physical, like when

912
00:43:20,559 --> 00:43:24,119
he lowers his shoulder a little bit when he's getting

913
00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:27,360
to the rim, like he's creating.

914
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,119
Speaker 4: Separation through physicality and athleticism. Does that make sense? Like

915
00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:33,559
it's not just through.

916
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: Speed and quickness, Like he's doing it through physicality. And

917
00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:42,000
some of those kind of those delay, you know, impact

918
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:45,599
type of shots where he's having to fade away or

919
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,639
lean in and and fade away and hang and then

920
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:49,119
kiss it.

921
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 4: Off the glass. These are those are really really tough shots.

922
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 2: Uh that that that through which separation through physicality is

923
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,119
ultimately brought about. Any I just want to chime in

924
00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:02,679
on this. So, yeah, they have to figure it out,

925
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,559
but there's certain guys that need to figure it out.

926
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:08,800
Like I know, Richie had seven rebounds, Keva had seven rebounds.

927
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:13,679
Richie's a dog there too. Kyle Collins were stated that

928
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,199
he wanted, you know, I don't know. I think I

929
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,440
remember he said thirty two minutes plus, like AJ, Rob

930
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,280
and Richie need to on the floor together more.

931
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 6: Is what he said.

932
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, I can feel you on that.

933
00:44:26,039 --> 00:44:30,119
Speaker 2: Anyway, there's a lot of things, more diagnosis to occur,

934
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,039
but it was a great win or resilient win.

935
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 4: Do we want to end with a few more soundbites

936
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:35,280
before we go to break?

937
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's keep playing that. Who got twos?

938
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 4: Go ahead?

939
00:44:38,519 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: Kevin.

940
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,599
Speaker 11: The toughness of this team, Hew Colfern, are you that

941
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,079
this toughness can show every single night.

942
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,039
Speaker 1: To be a much improved team on the defensive end?

943
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,679
All very confident that you know these guys, we got

944
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,559
some dogs in our locker room. Thought Kayla was incredible

945
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:54,440
in his game.

946
00:44:54,559 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 9: I thought Canar Davis was equally his physical defensively.

947
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,599
Speaker 1: You know, I've said this to Aj at nauseam. I

948
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:04,679
think he has the tools to be one of the best,

949
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,679
if not the best defenders in the country.

950
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:09,079
Speaker 9: You know, I'm on Rob all the time about being

951
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:11,760
able to guard guys as well, So something we talk

952
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:12,360
about a lot.

953
00:45:12,599 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: I think it probably shows in the way that we

954
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:16,519
recruited and put this team together.

955
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:18,519
Speaker 9: We felt like we definitely needed to take a step

956
00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:22,400
up defensively, and you know, this is a step.

957
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 6: In that direction for sure.

958
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,039
Speaker 1: And I had a question for aj and Rum.

959
00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 11: How much does it energize the bench when Kada is

960
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,199
coming up with those blocks and swatting slatting those shots

961
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:31,840
into the stands.

962
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 10: I mean, that's crazy. I ain't never played with a

963
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,760
shot block like that. He sent stuff to the ninth

964
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,719
row talking about these I ain't never seen that before.

965
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,800
But I mean it gives us a lot of energy.

966
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,400
And I mean, I'm just gonna start forcing guys to

967
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,760
the pain they can make a decision that they want

968
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,199
to score them.

969
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:49,679
Speaker 3: Coach, last question right here, wrapping it up, Coach, you

970
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:50,480
talked about like the.

971
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 9: Fan base being nationwide but specifically coming to Las Vegas.

972
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,639
Speaker 12: B y U guys having a history with Las Vegas

973
00:45:57,679 --> 00:45:59,800
being down west and everything else, Like, how nice.

974
00:45:59,639 --> 00:46:02,199
Speaker 1: Is it have this kind of tournament in this location

975
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,920
for you, your squad and your fer. It's amazing.

976
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 9: I mean, look, I've been coming to Vegas for years,

977
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,119
you know, when I was in the NBA Summer League,

978
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,719
played a preseason game in this building before when I

979
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,800
was in the league, and so now doing it on

980
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960
the college side, to your point where there's already a

981
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,159
little bit of a history with BYU being down here,

982
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:22,480
It's something I don't take for granted.

983
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: And every time I come out, either at home run or.

984
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,519
Speaker 9: Road, I just kind of look around and just see

985
00:46:26,559 --> 00:46:28,119
how many Blue shirts are in the building.

986
00:46:28,159 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: And I mean I feed off of it.

987
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 9: You know, I'm a washed up, forty four year old

988
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,360
dude just coaching, so I know these guys are feeding.

989
00:46:35,119 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: Off of it. If by him. So, like I said,

990
00:46:37,559 --> 00:46:40,280
it's a unique thing, and it's something.

991
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 9: That you know, I think, to a man, everybody at

992
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,039
our university really appreciates.

993
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,159
Speaker 2: All right, there, you got the BYU Cougar men's basketball team.

994
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,960
Basketball team gets their first win of the season after

995
00:46:53,079 --> 00:46:56,559
going one on winning their exhibition games, and look some

996
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,280
lessons learned and progress.

997
00:46:58,920 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 4: To be made.

998
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 2: But I do think that and Lenova team will be

999
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,000
good this year. And they are being coached right now.

1000
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,239
Buy a new leader, right new coach. But they were greaty,

1001
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,360
they were resilient, they were competitive, and they shot the

1002
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,079
ball well down the stretch in order to come back.

1003
00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:17,920
The Wildcats were roaring back. But luckily for BYU fans,

Speaker 6: Anyway?

1053
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:35,119

1054
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Noah, I looked at the picture he does.

1055
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, the Humpty hump Uh anyway, I

1057
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,599
and then uh before my time man. The single released

1058
00:49:49,679 --> 00:49:54,599
was nineteen ninety. This was number seven on the R

1059
00:49:54,639 --> 00:49:57,039
and B chart at number one on the Rap Singles

1060
00:49:57,079 --> 00:49:59,480

Speaker 1: Today.

1063
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 4: Let's get into some numbers and some questions as well.

1064
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,679
Speaker 2: Check out this number, okay, Bear Blachmeyer versus Jake retzlof

1065
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:13,360
Okay this year okay, comparing and contrasting their statistical outputs

1066
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,840
their efficiencies thus far. Do you think Boa upgraded, down graded,

1067
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,920
or stayed neutral at the quarterback position this season with

1068
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:20,800
Bear at the helm?

1069
00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:22,599
Speaker 4: Tell me why you feel this way?

1070
00:50:22,639 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: So Ba obviously a to zer right now, Bear Blackmeyer,

1071
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:26,599
you know and it starts the strength to schedule for

1072
00:50:26,679 --> 00:50:30,800
bear forty six in the country per ESPNFBI one hundred

1073
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,280
and twenty six completions to two hundred and one attempts.

1074
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,760
That's the sixty two point seven percent completion percentage. He's

1075
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,039
passed for one hundred or one thousand, six hundred and

1076
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:41,000
ninety three yards. That's two hundred twelve yards per game,

1077
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,719
yards per attempt, eight point four passing touchdowns to I

1078
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,760
T ratio eleven to three passer rating of one forty

1079
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,920
eight point five, tremendous.

1080
00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 4: QBR seventy eight point nine. He's been sacked I think

1081
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:55,360
nine times.

1082
00:50:55,559 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: He's rushed the ball in ninety four times for four

1083
00:50:57,519 --> 00:50:59,920
to eight yards four point three yards per carried, nine

1084
00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:03,599
nine touchdowns, his longest run of twenty two yards. His

1085
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:09,880
total touchdown accumulated twenty Okay twenty Jake retchlow six and two.

1086
00:51:10,639 --> 00:51:13,679
There at Tulane Strength to schedule sixty fifth in the

1087
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:18,039
country completions to attempts one hundred and thirty with two

1088
00:51:18,119 --> 00:51:20,440
hundred and eighteen attempts. That's fifty nine point six percent

1089
00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:23,559
completion percentage. He's thrown for one thy, six hundred and

1090
00:51:23,559 --> 00:51:25,920
twenty tw yards, two hundred three yards per game, seven

1091
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:31,440
point four yards yards per attempt, seven touchdown passes to

1092
00:51:31,679 --> 00:51:35,119
three i in ts, his passer rating one thirty, QBR

1093
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,519
seventy seven point six. He's sacked five times, rushing attemp

1094
00:51:39,599 --> 00:51:42,320
seventy seven for five hundred thirteen yards and six point

1095
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,800
seven yards per carry, nine rushing touchdowns and along of

1096
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,880
sixty nine so and he's tallied sixteen total touchdowns. Has

1097
00:51:51,039 --> 00:51:56,880
BYU upgraded, downgraded, or stayed neutral at the quarterback position

1098
00:51:57,159 --> 00:51:58,760
in twoenty twenty five?

1099
00:51:58,880 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 4: Ronald, where do you stand?

1100
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say they have upgraded. I do think

1101
00:52:02,199 --> 00:52:04,519
that right, And a lot of people say, well, we're

1102
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:06,559
on both teams are exactly where they're supposed to be.

1103
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,440
So the real answer has been we'll know in the

1104
00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:11,800
next two games. We'll know this Saturday when Billy plays

1105
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,880
Texas Tech and the game after that when they play TCU. Right,

1106
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,440
because the same thing happened last year, A no last

1107
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,519
two games fumbled the bag a little bit, but I

1108
00:52:19,639 --> 00:52:22,079
still believe that they have the way Bear hasn't turned

1109
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:24,960
over the football like Jake, and the decision making comes

1110
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,800
down to that not fumbling the football either, because we

1111
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,920
see it. Look what they did to Iowa State. Right,

1112
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,199
you're allowing your defense to have opportunities to score special teams.

1113
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,800
You're able to put up a lot of points. When

1114
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,440
you stay within the Aaron Roddarks system. He makes you

1115
00:52:37,559 --> 00:52:40,480
look great. He gives you an opportunity to get drafted

1116
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:42,840
in the NFL if you stay within the scheme and

1117
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,840
you do exactly what you're supposed to do. When you

1118
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,840
don't call your own number, when you don't need to say, look,

1119
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,320
I'm gonna go check into this play. When you follow

1120
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,880
the scheme and you just snap the ball and you

1121
00:52:53,039 --> 00:52:55,280
look to see what he's drawn upper schemed. When you

1122
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,599
execute the play at hand, good things happened. And we

1123
00:52:58,639 --> 00:52:59,519
didn't see that last year.

1124
00:52:59,559 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 6: Times.

1125
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 3: Jake is a good quarterback, but you constantly want to

1126
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,400
throw a tight in faith that you're not good at

1127
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,760
sorry brother, like you're not that guy, and it costs

1128
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,400
BYU at times. And Bear hasn't cost BYU a game yet.

1129
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,679
He hasn't, So I think that's been the biggest difference

1130
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,480
is he hasn't done that. His biggest tasking on Saturday,

1131
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,679
and if he passed the test been on Saturday. I

1132
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,760
think you can officially book that it is because Texas Tech,

1133
00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:23,519
I would argue, was a better opponent than the Kansas

1134
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,400
better than you know, even Arizona State, I think last

1135
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,280
year to agree with what they've allocated. So Saturday is

1136
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,039
a big game and the Bear pass that test. He

1137
00:53:31,159 --> 00:53:34,079
is officially, in my opinion, better than what Jake Retz

1138
00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:35,480
have did and BYU did upgrade.

1139
00:53:35,559 --> 00:53:37,559
Speaker 4: Yes, these are my qualifiers here.

1140
00:53:37,639 --> 00:53:39,559
Speaker 2: Jake Retz Luft does not have the supporting cast that

1141
00:53:39,639 --> 00:53:42,480
Bear Bachmeer has it BYU two lane's a nice program.

1142
00:53:42,599 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 4: They've won a lot of football games.

1143
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,039
Speaker 2: Remember the new coaching staff taking over for Willie Fritz

1144
00:53:47,039 --> 00:53:49,639
who's now at Houston doing great things and is number four.

1145
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:50,559
Speaker 4: In the Big twelve.

1146
00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 2: So like, they do have continuity and culture and chemistry

1147
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,199
there and decent talent, but it's not as good as

1148
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,280
the supporting cast and the complimentary foot ball that BYU

1149
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:06,320
plays currently. So it's not apples apples in its entirety.

1150
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,840
You look at the strength of schedule, there's some equivalency there,

1151
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,119
but obviously Bear has more of a more difficult strength

1152
00:54:14,159 --> 00:54:17,440
of schedule. Statistically speaking, though, like you may have a

1153
00:54:17,519 --> 00:54:22,280
better run or to a degree in explosivity in Jake

1154
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,519
rentz Law okay, and you know he's got better top

1155
00:54:26,679 --> 00:54:32,199
end speed, so longer runs, more chunkyardage plays. I do

1156
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,880
think Jake has also improved obviously in his td' N

1157
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,079
and T ratio. He's not making as poor of decisions

1158
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:43,079
he was playing from behind versus UTSA. I don't necessarily

1159
00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:47,599
put this loss completely on on Jake. I think the

1160
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:49,320
game was out of hand, and so they brought in

1161
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:54,239
Brendan Sullivan, who was competitive with Jake in fall camp

1162
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,599
leading up to the kickoff of the season and before

1163
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,760
Brendan sustained an injury in fall camp, and Jake was

1164
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,480
the starter and played well. Like Jake's a good college

1165
00:55:06,519 --> 00:55:09,840
football quarterback. I still think he is a good college

1166
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:10,679
football quarterback.

1167
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:11,599
Speaker 6: He did get.

1168
00:55:11,519 --> 00:55:14,039
Speaker 2: Benched this last game, but was that due to more

1169
00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:17,679
so like like hey, like, was it his bad decision

1170
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,199
making or was it just hey, we're it's late in

1171
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,760
the game and and uh, look let's get Brandon some

1172
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:25,440
reps here.

1173
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:26,519
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know.

1174
00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:29,679
Speaker 2: I mean, that's up to the coaching staff to ultimately

1175
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,000
comment on it. I don't know if there's any postgame commentary,

1176
00:55:32,079 --> 00:55:36,159
but I'm taking all this into account, and I think overall,

1177
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:41,760
like I think it's pretty neutral. The biggest difference I

1178
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,239
would say for me, and I'd probably lean neutral, but

1179
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,440
this is what I would say. I believe that Bear

1180
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:54,079
Bachmeier typically stays within the architecture of the offense more

1181
00:55:54,159 --> 00:55:59,760
than Jake Retzlaw. Jake has, in my opinion, a slightly

1182
00:56:00,079 --> 00:56:02,880
wronger arm to push the ball downfield, and I think

1183
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,360
he is a more explosive runner. He's a faster runner,

1184
00:56:06,639 --> 00:56:08,039
and so you get him out in open space and

1185
00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:09,280
he looks but again, and he's gritty.

1186
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 4: He's tough.

1187
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,079
Speaker 2: I don't get a twisted like Jay can break arm tackles.

1188
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,440
He's a gritty runner. He's not as physically you know,

1189
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,239
linear getting downhill and maybe jumping into the end zone

1190
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,559
as much. But he's still had nine rushing touchdowns. I mean,

1191
00:56:21,599 --> 00:56:24,159
look like he's a good runner and so.

1192
00:56:25,679 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 11: Like.

1193
00:56:26,159 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 2: But I tend to lean like I kind of sort

1194
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,199
of rather have Bear now after I've seen eight games.

1195
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:37,840
Even though I think I like Jake's deep ball better

1196
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,079
and his arm strength better. His opposite Hash throws a

1197
00:56:41,159 --> 00:56:45,039
little bit better. But Bear is a much better intermediate

1198
00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:48,960
to short passer than Jake, especially for being.

1199
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:49,679
Speaker 4: A freaking true fresh.

1200
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: He's eighteen years of age and he's doing what essentially

1201
00:56:53,559 --> 00:56:58,320
a red shirt senior would be doing with the supporting cast. Now,

1202
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,320
we'll never know what Jake could have done at BYU

1203
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,000
this season and what improvements would have been made, and

1204
00:57:04,079 --> 00:57:06,719
how much more he would have stayed within the confines

1205
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:13,519
of this offense. But man, I can't help but think

1206
00:57:13,599 --> 00:57:16,079
that Jake is still Jake and he thinks he's Pat

1207
00:57:16,159 --> 00:57:19,280
mahomes slash, you know, Bret Farv and wants to do

1208
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:20,239
some crazy things.

1209
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 4: Anyway, that's my thought on it.

1210
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 2: That's our stats of the day compare contrast the current
