So BYU and TCU are now 48 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,759 in the Big twelve together forever. Hopefully They've been conference 49 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,400 foes before in other leagues, as I've mentioned, and that 50 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:18,159 four and five mark rings true. So it's a kind 51 00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:21,159 of a fifty to fifty game right now. Is BYU 52 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,000 is a three and a half point favorite? Sonny Dykes 53 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000 in BYU. How about a little history here. TCU head 54 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,960 coach Sonny Diykes is familiar with BYU's football program. Before 55 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,400 the previous matchup in twenty twenty three, Dikes was the 56 00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:40,319 head coach at Cal when BYU quarterback Christian Stewart outdueled 57 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,759 Jared Goff. This is one of my favorite games of 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,599 the independent era. In fact, Christian Stewart an underrated, underappreciated quarterback. 59 00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:52,199 Why well, because we only got to see him on 60 00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:56,280 the back half of that season. Why does the quarterback 61 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,680 take some hill the greatest, one of the greatest athletes 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,439 to have ever done on the Royal Blue and White 63 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,120 was the quarterback. Now, I made the like after watching 64 00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:10,919 Christian and Taysum in fall camp that season, I said, look, 65 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,800 what I'm telling you is that Taysom Hill is the 66 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,759 better football player, but that Christian Stewart is the better 67 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,479 quarterback in a traditional sense. A quarterback, what does he do? 68 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:28,599 He distributes the football to playmakers. That's how you lead right. 69 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,719 You get people in the right positions. You call sometimes 70 00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:36,360 the protection from from your shotgun, from your pistol from 71 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:40,159 under center, and then you distribute hand the ball off. 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,319 Swing it, get vertical, get horizontal. You're the quarterback. It 73 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,199 all starts with you. And Christian wasn't too bad at 74 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,919 running the ball either was. He kind of reminded me 75 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,120 a little bit of Zach Wilson in fact, with his 76 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,840 running ability and athleticism. He's a productent of Orum High School. 77 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400 By the way, I'm going off on a diet tribe here. 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,800 But Christians was a good football point and I think 79 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520 he was the better thrower. And he showcased that versus cow. 80 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,719 That dude could sling it, that dude had a cannon. 81 00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:12,520 That dude connected with Mitch Matthews and Davon Blackman and 82 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,480 Jordan Leslie, those wide receivers were eating it up, eating 83 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,480 it up. They beat Jared goffin the Cal Bears at 84 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,879 Sonny Dikes forty two to thirty five in a shootout. 85 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: It's like the Whack era. That's right, the BYU Whack 86 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:29,720 Area Mount West Conference era too. 87 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,439 Speaker 3: At times from two thousand and one to two thousand 88 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,720 and nine, we put up a lot of points and 89 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:38,399 sad some shootouts, but the Bronco defense was always willing 90 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:40,879 and ready more often than not to limit some of 91 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,079 those scores. Anyway, before he handed the reins over to 92 00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:48,279 Nick Cal who's now his defensive coordinator at Utah State. 93 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,319 At any rate, I go off on this die tribe, 94 00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:52,920 but just trying to tell you some of the histories 95 00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,439 between BYU and TCU as well as BYU. 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,959 Speaker 2: Ain't Sonny Dykes okay. 97 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: In addition, Dyke's father, Spi, he was the head coach 98 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:03,800 at Texas Tech, was a good friend of Lavell Edwards 99 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,199 that ran similar passing offenses. 100 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: So took a little page at a Levell's book. 101 00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: No doubt when by is competing as a ranked team, 102 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,720 right and they are they. 103 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,319 Speaker 2: A solid record, Bloi. 104 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: You dropped in both polls on Sunday, though, coming in 105 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,279 at number twelve in the AP Pole as well as 106 00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,680 twelve in the AFCA Coaches Poll when they are ranked, 107 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,639 though in the top twenty five, BLIA is a thirty 108 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,319 four and ten team under Kilane Satak, not too shabby 109 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,240 when playing as an AP Top twenty five ranked team. 110 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,639 The appearance in the AP Pole is the three hundredth 111 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,240 overall by the Cougars in program history, which is now 112 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,959 good for thirty four among all teams overall. Four Big 113 00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,439 twelve teams are currently ranked in the AP Top twenty five, 114 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,360 with Texas Tech being at eight, Byuit twelve, Utah at fifteen. 115 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,000 I believe in Cincinnati at twenty two. As the AP 116 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,399 Pole College Football Playoff has a little bit different, I 117 00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,240 think Utah's at thirteen and Cincinnati I think it's at 118 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,040 twenty five. BYU made it to November eight before suffering 119 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,240 its first defeat of the season. Similar it's pretty much 120 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,839 akin to what we experienced last year. The biggest fear 121 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:19,360 for BYU Cougar football fans right now is that BYU 122 00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:24,800 will lose two in a row like they did last season. 123 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,959 This is a fear that grips the hearts the minds 124 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,160 of all of Cougar Nation. Last year, they got their 125 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:41,959 first loss. Okay, not on the road, but at home 126 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:46,759 under the lights lavel with an eight fifteen pm kickoff 127 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:52,839 on the Mothership ESPN seventeen to thirteen to the Kansas Jayhawks, 128 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,560 one of the hotter teams in college football at that time. 129 00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:59,399 Leading up to that game, they were playing really good football. Okay, 130 00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:02,879 then they lost on the road versus Arizona State at 131 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,600 Mountain America Stadium, ten p Aerzona twenty eighth to twenty three. 132 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,399 This year, coming off of bye week, they lose on 133 00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:14,959 the road. First, will they lose at home versus the 134 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,279 TCU Hornfrogs. 135 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,839 Speaker 2: I pray not right. 136 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: That date of the loss this season was November eighth. 137 00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:29,920 Last year, the loss was November sixteenth. On November ninth 138 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360 last year, they actually beat Utah on the road. But 139 00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:36,480 very similar to what's going on right now. Right they 140 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:43,319 had three remaining or leading up to the Kansas game, 141 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,399 they had three remaining games. Right leading up to the 142 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,160 Texas Tech game. They have four remaining games, so pretty 143 00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:52,720 much similar, very similar to what we experienced last year. 144 00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:53,199 Speaker 2: Okay. 145 00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,439 Speaker 3: By the way, byuall inducted it's twenty twenty five Hall 146 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,839 of Fame class this weekend.

Kickoff, by the way, let me get to 163 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,559 know the foe a little bit better though, guys, TCU. 164 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,360 It is in its fourth season under the direction of 165 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,480 head coach Sunny Dykes. 166 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five. 167 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: Sunday Dikes was the twenty twenty two National Coach of 168 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,879 the Year they led. He led TCU to more wins 169 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,720 in his first three seasons. That's twenty seven wins than 170 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,720 all but one head coach in program history. That was 171 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:26,440 dutch Meyer back in nineteen thirty four through thirty six, 172 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,519 with twenty nine so. Dykes has also led programs such 173 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,679 as SMU from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one, CAL 174 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,759 from twy thirteen to twenty sixteen, as I mentioned, and 175 00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:40,279 Louisiana Tech from twenty ten to twenty twelve. In all 176 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,559 four stops, Dykes has led the program to postseason games, 177 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,960 making him one of the just four active head coaches 178 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 to take four different schools to a bowl game he wins. 179 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,279 The others are Butch Jones, Lang Kiffin, and Rich Rodriguez. 180 00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:59,000 By the way, who Bayer has already faced this season, 181 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,799 he is He also one of six active head coaches 182 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,039 to have appeared in the CFP National Championship Game, joining 183 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,879 Kirby spart Dabos Swinney, Ryan Day, Marcus Freeman, and Kaylee 184 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,960 de War. Directing the TCU offense for his third season 185 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,960 as this starting quarterback is redshirt junior Josh Hoover. Guy 186 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,399 can sling it. Okay, he does have a little bit 187 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,360 of a hand injury. He's been wearing a glove per reports, 188 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,159 so you're hoping he's a little bit more. He's a 189 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,960 little less efficient, little less accurate. In his redshirt sophomore campaign, 190 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,639 Hoover set a TCU single season passing record with three 191 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,879 ninety nine yards on on four hundred seventy one attempts 192 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,440 three hundred thirteen completions. He had twenty seven touchdowns to 193 00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:48,240 eleven nine. Tis not a bad ratio. He has thrown 194 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,879 sixty five touchdown passes in twenty eight career starts as well. 195 00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: Guy can sling it. They're gonna want to throw the ball. 196 00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: Surrounding Hoover is at Newcastle Wide receivers seventy six combined 197 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,200 starts though and five four and sixty four careers receiving yards. 198 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,879 They have great receivers as well, and our defensive backs 199 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:08,240 are going. 200 00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: To be tested. 201 00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: Jack Beck, Saveon Williams and JP Richardson to the NFL. 202 00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:16,960 Those were the departures. They were all good last year. 203 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,679 They had to replace them. They had to replace him 204 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,159 that they had to get a new cast of wide receivers, 205 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,879 replace all those starts, all those receiving yards, etc. So 206 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,320 some good receivers are still retained, but they're gonna have 207 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,320 a tough test. I think BILLU bounces back defensively in 208 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,480 the defensive pass game versus TCU at home. Defensively, the 209 00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:45,679 Hornfrogs are led by Bud Clark, who led all safeties 210 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,000 in college football last season with a ninety point one 211 00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:51,480 coverage grade I believe for PFF. After logging a career 212 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,360 high sixty eight tackles last season, Clark opted to return 213 00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:56,879 to TCU rather than head to the NFL, and his 214 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,639 career fifteen career intercepts are tied for fourth most in 215 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,159 program history. The horn Frogs are bull eligible for the 216 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,919 ninth time in twelve seasons as a Big twelve member. 217 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,440 In fact, we interviewed Bud Clark at Big twelve Media Days. Ronald, 218 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,200 what were your takeaways? What were some of your takeaways 219 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,759 from the Bud Clark interview when we were able to 220 00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:19,679 interact with him. 221 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a very humble kid. I mean, he talked 222 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,919 about the reason why he picked TCU one of location 223 00:12:25,799 --> 00:12:27,600 being from Louisiana. I mean it was tough because he 224 00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:29,759 said that in Virginia, right. I think you talked about 225 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,720 the connection and the one of the coaches at Virginia 226 00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,120 recruiting him at the time. A five hour drive compared 227 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:37,120 to what I guess it was an eleven or twelve 228 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:38,320 hour drive is completely different. 229 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,159 Speaker 2: Might have been fifteen. 230 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,039 Speaker 4: But no, I was really impressed with the young man. 231 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:41,879 Speaker 2: I mean, he played in a. 232 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: Game Ben as a freshman I think, or maybe a 233 00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,039 true sophomore. It's not often that you have that. He 234 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,360 had a fantastic sophomore season. Look, this is a guy 235 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,360 that's gonna get drafted. He's an NFL prospect, Ben, He's 236 00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,320 going to get a Combine invite. So I was really 237 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,279 impressed with you know how a local kid in Louisiana 238 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,080 didn't go to any of the big time schools, went 239 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,279 to Texas, plays with the chip on his shoulder and 240 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,639 loves sunny Diyce loves the culture. Has been playing there 241 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,559 for the last what four or five seasons. So this 242 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:09,759 is the guy you got to look out for on 243 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,759 the scout on report. He's one of their veteran safeties. 244 00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: Back there. 245 00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 4: He can defend the pass, you can utilize them in 246 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,440 the run game. So you gotta watch out for number 247 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,879 twenty one but Clark. But yeah, I was really impressed 248 00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:23,399 with how humble it reminded me kind of like of 249 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:26,960 Jaden Daniels. Excuse me, Jayalen Daniels for Kansas. A guy 250 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,320 that had been around a long time, knows Big twelve football, 251 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,919 knows exactly where he's supposed to be, and came back 252 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,519 to maximize that final year because I don't know if 253 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:37,519 he was recruited the year after COVID. I think he was, 254 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:40,000 but so utilize that final year to be able to 255 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,360 give himself more tape. So look, I've been able to 256 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:45,080 text Bud here and there throughout the season. 257 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: Big fan of his. 258 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 4: You know he got what he talked about, his kid, 259 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,879 his fiance, right, you know, he got engaged, you know, 260 00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:54,759 a family man, honestly, like that's a kid. But if 261 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:57,039 I'm gonna be honest with Bud, Clark could have got it, 262 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,200 could have played for another program in the Big twelve. 263 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,840 I think b y d been a good fit. I 264 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,559 felt when I was talking to him, they hed to 265 00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:05,960 fit into this bou culture very well. Very football oriented, 266 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,200 very faith had a cross on his neck, and very 267 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,639 family oriented. So when you look at the Big Twelve 268 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,320 Conference as a whole, there's a lot of players I 269 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,440 feel like that we interact with the Big Twelve media 270 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,960 Day that we get a chance to talk to that 271 00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:18,399 if they were able to come to BAU they would 272 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:19,919 fit right in, and Buck Clark as one of those 273 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:20,440 guys for me. 274 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,679 Speaker 3: TCU heads to Provo on Saturday, where they take on 275 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,600 the number twelve BAU Cougar. Is their first matchup against 276 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,919 a ranked team since closing out the twenty twenty three 277 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,320 season at number thirteen Oklahoma. The Frogs are on a 278 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,759 three game winless stretch against ranked opponents, by the way, 279 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,519 dating back to the meeting with number one Georgia in 280 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,200 the College Football Playoff National Championship Game at the end 281 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,639 of the twenty twenty two season. TCU last their last 282 00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:49,039 win over a ranked opponent and a true road game, 283 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,679 was also in that twenty twenty two season, when they 284 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:57,960 went to Austin and beat number eighteen Texas Number eighteen Texas. 285 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: Seventeen to ten. 286 00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: It will be TCUs four trip to Levell Edward Sadium 287 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,480 since that two thousand and nine outing when Boll squads 288 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,000 were members of the Mountain West Conference and TCU has 289 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,720 won the last five meetings that are on a five 290 00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,960 game winning street versus the Cougars, and hopefully that comes 291 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,639 to a stop on Saturday night.

Mike, 338 00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:29,039 how you live it? 339 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: Looking good, feeling good? 340 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: How about you doing fantastic. 341 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 3: It's a beautiful day here along the Wasatch front, and 342 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,680 UH can't wait to delve into all the knicks and 343 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,680 crannies with this matchup BYU versus the Yukon Huskies. Let's 344 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,720 give a little foundational approach here. How do you see 345 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,160 this game? 346 00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 5: Well, I think both teams are off to really good starts. 347 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,079 I saw BYU played villain Nova. I was impressed. They've 348 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,960 got some major talent there. Their coach, Kevin Young is 349 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,759 NBA back. You can see some of his influences. Obviously, 350 00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:06,119 had a great first year, twenty six wins, got to 351 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,359 the sweet sixteen. You know, very rare that a guy 352 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,240 that takes a program over rises to that heights. I mean, 353 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:18,119 we're seeing Richard Patino at Xavier, for instance, struggling to 354 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,920 get the Musketeers off the ground after Sean Miller left. 355 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,200 Stuff happens. I mean, when you change coaches, he can't 356 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,440 expect things to be bright. And Rosie Dan Hurley took 357 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,400 over for Kevin Ollie eight years ago, couldn't get the 358 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,000 five hundred in his first year. Second year he got 359 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,640 over five hundred. Took him a few years to get 360 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,880 it rolling, and then he won back to back championships 361 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,039 three years ago and two years ago. So I think 362 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,279 Dyu's got a great coach there now, and Yukon's had 363 00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:50,480 a great coach here over the last eight years. So 364 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,480 I'm looking forward to it because this will be the 365 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:56,880 first test for Yukon. They played three non conference games 366 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,039 against mid majors and you know, score and played well, 367 00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:04,559 but it didn't overwhelm people. You know, they've won by 368 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,680 twenty plus each time. You really want to see a 369 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,319 team and how they match up against a team like 370 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,519 BYU that's got major talent in so many positions. So 371 00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:18,880 we're looking forward to it. I don't know how it's 372 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,160 going to come out. I think Yukon will be able 373 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,440 to score with anybody. The question for them is can 374 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,920 they defend well enough. BYU obviously has scored a bundle 375 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,119 of points in their first three games, so is Yukon, 376 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,000 But it comes down to how you can defend. Can 377 00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:38,640 you stop another team when you need to, And Yukon's 378 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,960 averaging over ninety points a game, so teams have had 379 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,519 trouble stopping them. But it really comes down to a 380 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,519 Dan Hurley's been saying this, how good do we guard 381 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:50,880 the perimeter? How good do we guard the three point line? 382 00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:53,839 So far they've done that, so we'll see can they 383 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,119 do it again. BYU is not a strong three point 384 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,400 FIO team, it looks like so far, I think they're 385 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,240 averaging under thirty from three, so that might be might 386 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,319 not be the major test. I think it's going to 387 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,480 be dealing with aj Debonsa and Robert Wright the third. 388 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,759 Both guys are prolific scorers already in Richie Saunders and 389 00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:17,480 not another guy average at almost eighteen in their guard. 390 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:20,720 So those three are gonna be real matchup problems for 391 00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:22,720 Yukon and we'll have to see how they handle that. 392 00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 3: Last year Yukon was twenty four to eleven. They lost 393 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,160 in the NCAA Tournament second round. What what has happened 394 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,839 since that loss? That makes you out to miss it 395 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,640 that they can get back to the air Elite winning 396 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,920 ways from twenty twenty three and twenty twenty three and 397 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,799 twenty twenty four. 398 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 5: Well, they're deeper. They are much deeper. And we haven't 399 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:47,720 even seen Braylan Mullins, who was a McDonald All American. 400 00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:51,839 He's a freshman guard from Greenfield, Indiana. He played in 401 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:55,400 one of the exhibition games against Boston College. He's six six, 402 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,319 two hundred pounds. He's a guy that can fill it 403 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,759 up from distance. But he had an ankle injury early 404 00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:05,000 on in camp and after playing one exhibition game, hasn't 405 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,400 played now in the last four games. So and I 406 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,720 don't think we're going to see him until maybe December. 407 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:14,240 It might be another couple of weeks before. He's really 408 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:16,599 one hundred percent healthy to ready to play, so he 409 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,799 can't tell how good Yukon can be. And also they 410 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,880 got another freshman guard that comes from Australia, Jacob Furfey. 411 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:29,000 He's six six two oh five left handed, sweet sweet stroke, 412 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,960 can really fill it up. He's been unable to play 413 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,359 as well because he had an ankle injury, so Furfy's 414 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,599 getting close. He may play Saturday, he may play tomorrow. 415 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,039 I'd like to see that because I really haven't had 416 00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:43,319 a good look at him except in practice a little bit. 417 00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:46,440 But my point is they're deep. They go ten deep 418 00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:51,039 with quality players. So if Alex Caravan has an off night, 419 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,559 a two time national champion, and he doesn't score his 420 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,680 seventeen a game or solo ball doesn't shoot lights out 421 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,720 from three averaging eighteen a game, they can overcome it 422 00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:05,480 because now they have Terrace Reid back. They're big center, 423 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,319 and he's a double double waiting to happen pretty much 424 00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:11,640 every night. He's averaged twenty one minutes in the two 425 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,480 games he's played, averaging the most twenty points and ten rebounds. 426 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,039 He's a senior and a big dude, six eleven two 427 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,920 sixty five. So Reid and Ball and Caravan they're the 428 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000 lynch pins, but they've got a lot of other guys 429 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,240 that come off their bench that are really quality players, 430 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:34,039 Silas Demrie, guy that came from Georgia in the SEC 431 00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:37,799 after two years. Raleigh, North Carolina guy is their point 432 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,079 guard and so far, so good with him. He's really 433 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,440 played well in terms of assisted turnovers. Scored about ten 434 00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:48,359 a game, but had nine assists the other night in 435 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,279 a game against Columbia's so looks like he's going to 436 00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:53,400 be able to fill the role as a point guard. 437 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,480 Malachi Smith is from Dayton. He's a transfer from Dayton, 438 00:22:58,519 --> 00:23:02,119 the Bronx guy averaging eight points a game, but a 439 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,440 legitimate difficult guy to guard and a difficult guy to 440 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,880 play against when he defends you. He's kind of gritty. 441 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,000 You know, he's only six to one, but he's tough 442 00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:15,079 as nails. So, I mean, you keep going down the roster, 443 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,680 and we haven't talked about Jalen Stewart as a junior 444 00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:21,440 forward from Seattle in his third year with Yukon and 445 00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:24,799 Jayden Ross, another junior who lit it up the other 446 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,000 night from distance. Those two guys are juniors in the 447 00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:31,759 program and they're starting to get their most significant playing 448 00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,319 time here this year. So and we haven't even got 449 00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:37,000 to the two other guys that came in from other 450 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:39,880 schools that will help them on a given night. So 451 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,000 my point is they're deep, they have a lot of answers. 452 00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:46,480 They can pick up the pace against you defensively and 453 00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:49,400 turn you over. And one thing they're doing better this year, 454 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,640 much better than last year, is get out on the 455 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,119 fast break. If they can defend, turn you over or 456 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,240 rebound and run. If they do that, then they're gonna 457 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,759 be a dangerous team throughout the Sea, in the Big 458 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:02,279 East and maybe beyond. 459 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 3: Number seven. Taken on, this is a top ten showdown, baby, 460 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,920 this is a big game. Saturday's game will be broadcast, 461 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,480 I believe on Fox. And what's your broadcast like for 462 00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:14,920 those that are going to be at the at the 463 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,119 game and maybe want to tune into a little play 464 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,720 by play, how can they tune into you? 465 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 5: We're on the Varsity Network app, Yukon Sports Network, every game, 466 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,920 every football game, every basketball game, and our baseball too. 467 00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:31,160 So yeah, it's great people are on the country and 468 00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:33,680 Yukon with the success they've had over the years, in 469 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,119 the last twenty five years particularly, has a lot of 470 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,920 folks around the country that root for them. So that's 471 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,319 what a lot of people tell me. They're in various 472 00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:45,160 parts of the country. Could be Florida, could be California, 473 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,599 could be Texas, could be Utah, could be anywhere. Tune 474 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,319 in on the Yukon Sports Network and listen to our games. 475 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,920 So that's the beauty of that app. You can get 476 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,279 it on your phone. It's a free app, and you 477 00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:01,200 can hear every single game, pregame, in the post game, 478 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,720 which you know, for fans who are really in tune 479 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,039 to what's going on with these schools and this college 480 00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:09,000 basketball scene, that's what you want to do. You want 481 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,160 to be able to hear what the coaches have to say, 482 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,720 what the players have to say after the game, something 483 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,039 you don't always get, you know, with the TV side, 484 00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:18,839 we were able to get into the locker rooms and 485 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,359 talk to the coaches well in advance of these games, 486 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,920 and it's always enlightening and it's always informative, and it's 487 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,440 always interesting. When Dan Hurley starts talking about the Yukon 488 00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:31,079 basketball program. 489 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. 490 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 3: What is the scouting report on b YU right Now, 491 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,839 what did Dan Hurley is coaching staff at the Players 492 00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:38,920 tell you about this BAYU Cougar basketball team. 493 00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 5: Well, they've got talent and they've got a lot of 494 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,559 skilled players and they have a balanced team. We talked 495 00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:49,920 about Aja Devonsa and Robert Wright, the third to stop 496 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,480 more guard transfer from Baylor. But they've also, you know, 497 00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:58,359 got people like Kevakta. I think that TWG pronounced his 498 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,880 first name. He's a senior from Molly. He was a 499 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,640 Utah player last year University of Utah. And they have 500 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:06,680 people who can come up to the best like Cannard 501 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,720 Davis averaging nine points. He transferred from Southern Illinois. They 502 00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:14,480 have let me kind of them up your six transfers 503 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,519 on this team. They lost Agor Damon who was drafted 504 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:22,039 eighth by Brooklyn and the NBA last year, so they 505 00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:24,880 lost him. You got to replace people like that, and 506 00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:27,359 looks like they're gonna they've been able to do it, 507 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,400 and you know, I don't know, I expect they're gonna 508 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,480 run and gun, they're gonna score. I don't know. You know, 509 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,640 I think it looks like they're good one on one 510 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,680 players too. They can isolate you and that would be 511 00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:42,000 one way I think to attack Yukon because the Huskies 512 00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:45,000 are still figuring out, you know, what their health defense 513 00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:47,160 can do, who can come over on the weak side 514 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,400 and block shots and help on d because that's when 515 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,799 they became dominant two years ago and three years ago 516 00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:57,640 and won national championships because people like Donovan Kling and 517 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:04,079 Adamas Sonogou Andre Jackson, people who were immense defensive players 518 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,279 step on castle and they were capable, you know, going 519 00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:11,720 one on one and locking people down. So until they 520 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,720 have like a crew of lockdown type defenders playing together, 521 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,000 I think that's what teams will try to do. They'll 522 00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:21,359 try to exploit them on Yukon's defensive end. Get to 523 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,119 the basket, get to the free throw line. That's what 524 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,880 teams did to them last year and put the Huskies 525 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,279 in some tough spots. But I think they're a little 526 00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,640 better this year on the ball, I do, and they're 527 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,400 getting to the line more frequently than they did last year, 528 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,880 and that's always a big advantage. I know that this 529 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,680 team YU shoots at at seventy three percent from the 530 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,400 free throw line, and they had thirty seven free throws 531 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,599 in their first three games. But that's an area that 532 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,599 Ukon knows and Dan Hurley talks about it all the time. 533 00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:52,720 Got to keep the other team off the line, can't 534 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,640 give them free points and let them control the game 535 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,599 from the free throw line. So I think that'll be 536 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,200 one of the keys in this game on Saturday. 537 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 3: Saturday will be the second all time meeting between the 538 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,920 programs who only the only previous meeting took place in 539 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,920 the opening round of the NCAA tournament where I actually 540 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,559 attended that. 541 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: When I was on my mission. I was out in Spokane, Washington. 542 00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:15,319 Speaker 3: We actually brought this up twice now that I served 543 00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:18,079 my mission as Spokane, Washington anyway, kind of an odd 544 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:20,519 stat of the day on our show, but I was 545 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,680 there my brother in law, Jake's show, The Late Jake 546 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,680 showf he bawled out in that game. Was trying to 547 00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:29,720 d up Omecha Okafer and we're trying to slow down 548 00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:32,880 Ben Gordon. They had a really nice outing fifty eight 549 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,440 to fifty three victory for the Huskies on March twenty 550 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,759 of two thousand and three at Spokane Veterans Memorial. 551 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,559 Speaker 2: Real Were you at that game? By chance? No? 552 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,039 Speaker 5: I was not. I was in New York working for 553 00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:45,799 the Knicks at the time. I've been to Spokane. I 554 00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:50,000 think that's a cool place. I've been there obviously for Gonzaga, 555 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,039 and we played Gonzaga in Seattle last year. It's a 556 00:28:54,079 --> 00:28:57,920 great college town, I gotta say. But Yukon three to 557 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,200 four were pretty darn good. All four of the ended 558 00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:02,839 up winning a championship with the back all performed Den Gordon. 559 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,279 So yeah, BYU great, great organization over the years and 560 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,720 always always plays great basketball. Danny Ainge of course comes 561 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,119 to mind. I work with him in Boston when I 562 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,559 was with the Celtics back in the eighties and early nineties, 563 00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:20,720 so he would tell great stories about BYU and the 564 00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:23,319 kind of hoop they played. So we're looking forward to 565 00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:26,400 this because Yukon needs a challenge. They got to get 566 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,240 a big challenge, and they're going to get one on 567 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:30,920 Saturday night, that's for sure, no. 568 00:29:30,839 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: Doubt about it. 569 00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:35,079 Speaker 3: What are are there any weaknesses that you see in 570 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:36,000 this Yukon team? 571 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: Really? 572 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 3: I mean, they are personnel rich and they have a 573 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,759 great coaching staff obviously molding the clay. 574 00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:44,359 Speaker 2: The culture there is very unique. 575 00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 3: I mean I've heard Dan Hurley discuss how he does 576 00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:50,720 not bring in certain players that are not fits culturally because. 577 00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:51,799 Speaker 2: He likes to coach them up hard. 578 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 3: He likes to coach him up like grown men, and 579 00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:58,039 you got to be willing and ready to align with 580 00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:01,119 the culture that the you if your culture he's built. 581 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: Are there really any weaknesses. 582 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 5: Well, of course there's always a weakness with any team. 583 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,880 We won't. I think we're really going to find out 584 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,400 something Saturday night. Will BYU get to the rim? Will 585 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,279 they get to the free throw line? Will they give 586 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,799 you con trouble when they have the basketball? That's that's 587 00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:21,079 the number one thing in my mind. Will YU can't 588 00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:23,599 take care of the ball? Last year they had some 589 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,480 turnover issues. This year they seem to be tighter with 590 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:30,240 the basketball. They throw it into the bigs a lot 591 00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:33,599 Terris Reid being the number one guy, the senior center, 592 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,319 but there's also a freshman center that I think people 593 00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:39,519 are going to enjoy watching, especially as a season unfolds. 594 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,119 Eric Raiba comes from Hannover, Germany, and he's played about 595 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,920 sixteen minutes a game in the first three games, averaging 596 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,599 about seven and a half points. It gets to the 597 00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:52,200 boards pretty well, ten to thirteen from the field. He's 598 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,000 a freshman, but he's seven to one and he's a 599 00:30:54,079 --> 00:30:57,400 lefty and he can shoot from outside, not that he will, 600 00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:00,279 that's not really part of what Yukon does. Play the 601 00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,480 inside out game quite a bit when they're not running 602 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,640 fast breaks and running patterned offense. But Eric Riba is 603 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,359 a guy to keep your eye on because at seven one, 604 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,240 two sixty he's an unbelievable backup guy to Terris Reid, 605 00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:17,440 who is six to eleven two sixty five. So yu 606 00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,759 Khn's been feeding off this dual center thing now for 607 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:24,839 four or five years. Used to be a Domasnogo Donovan Klington, 608 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,359 and it was Donovan Klington Sampson Johnson and then last 609 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,880 year Sampson Johnson Terris Reid now is Terris Reid Eric Riba. 610 00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:36,000 So both of the centers are can be trouble. If 611 00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,400 they get in foul trouble, that's when yukonk and have 612 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,119 their issues. Then they'll have to go small and they 613 00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:43,640 won't be able to control the boards as well, and 614 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,240 might probably won't be able to defend as well because 615 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,680 they won't have weak side help with the bigs like 616 00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:51,160 Eric Riva and Terras Reid. So those are the things 617 00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,400 I think they got to be aware of the Huskies 618 00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:56,160 not getting fouled trouble. Don't put the other team on 619 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,640 the line. Take care of the basketball typical stuff. Sometimes 620 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,440 if you don't shoot it well, you can overcome things 621 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:07,160 with that kind of stuff, you know, the defensive mindset 622 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,759 which Dan Hurley constantly harps on with these guys. So 623 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,720 BYU gets off, they're a past start and they're filling 624 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,079 it up and you con falls behind, then anything can happen. 625 00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:18,880 Then you don't know how your team's going to react. 626 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,880 I think that's what Dan Hurley is looking forward to 627 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,640 more than anything. What are we going to do when 628 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,240 we get in a hole? When this team does what 629 00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:28,519 they're gonna do, they're gonna score it, and what if 630 00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:29,839 they get a lead on us? How are we going 631 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,599 to handle that? So that's what we're looking forward to 632 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,759 seeing on Saturday night. 633 00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 3: Defensively, how do you think Dan Hurley approaches this game? 634 00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:39,799 You mentioned Bay who has not shot the three ball 635 00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:45,880 especially well. Although this last game versus Delaware maybe a 636 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,759 defunct Dela Delaware team. 637 00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 2: They did hit twelve three pointers. 638 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 3: I believe under k Y when Blaus hitting over ten 639 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,160 three pointers, they're like twenty and three, So I mean 640 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,480 they win when they get into double digit threes. 641 00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:01,039 Speaker 2: Do you think Dan close it out on the perimeter. 642 00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 3: Do you think they try to force maybe Byu to 643 00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:04,519 hit threes early on? 644 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 5: Well, I think they got to defend the perimeter. He 645 00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:12,559 talks about it every game when they do. And again, 646 00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:14,680 this is a young this is kind of a young team, 647 00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:17,839 a team that hasn't played together very much. Are they 648 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,039 going to be able to guard the perimeter? Are they 649 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,200 going to be up on guys at that at that 650 00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:26,359 line and force them into difficult shots? Are they going 651 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,559 to switch? Are they going to go underscreens? I think 652 00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:33,160 you're going to find out as the game unfolds. But yeah, 653 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,200 if you know, I'm sure. Listen, when you scout a team, 654 00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:38,960 you don't look at just basic stats. You see that 655 00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:42,160 they scored twelve threes. You know they're better than what 656 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,960 their averages say they are in terms of shooting percentage. 657 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,359 So I'm sure that's he's got the huge chalkboard most 658 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,680 coaches do. But Dan sets goals up for his team 659 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,359 every game, you know, hold the other team under thirty 660 00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:57,400 percent from three, whatever it may be. And so I 661 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,680 think that might be one of the keys because again, 662 00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:03,400 the way basketball's played now, and if you watch NBA stuff, 663 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,039 you really realize it. I mean, they're shooting one hundred 664 00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:08,719 threes in a game in the NBA now, So the 665 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,159 three point field goal is it's kind of money, right. 666 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,320 It's the way you score big points and bunches. And 667 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,239 if you let the other team get off off on 668 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,679 you from the three point line start filling it up, 669 00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:24,000 that's a real issue. And so I'm sure that's one 670 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,440 of the things they've been discussing big time. And when 671 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,400 teams do shoot from three out there, guess what, that 672 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,679 opens up stuff in the inside for drives, more space 673 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,079 to hit intermediary shots, get to the rim. Perhaps. So 674 00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:38,719 the three point field goal is always key. If you're 675 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,599 making them, that's a real problem for the defense and 676 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,119 for the overall opponent, whoever you may be playing. 677 00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 3: What do you think the environment's going to be like there? 678 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,719 I mean, is it going to be a Rocks one? 679 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,199 How many people show up to this game tomorrow? 680 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 5: I think, and I talked to some folks a couple 681 00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:59,360 days ago. They have sold over fourteen thousand seats. They're 682 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,239 expecting an other two thousand probably walk up. I think 683 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,960 the capacity a TD Garden is about seventeen to seven. 684 00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:09,079 Whether they sell out the upper regions, I don't know, 685 00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:12,840 but I think a good sixteen crowd of sixteen thousand 686 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,920 will make a lot of noise in that place. And 687 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,480 although Boston's not a crazy college town as far as 688 00:35:19,519 --> 00:35:23,239 hoop goes, I do think there is a huge segment 689 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,119 of Yukon fans that will get in their cars and 690 00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:28,920 drive seventy five miles up the highway to watch this game. 691 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,039 And again, AJ Demansa is a Brockton kid, the Massachusetts kid. 692 00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:37,320 One of the reasons this game ended up here. I 693 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,159 got to feel like his crew and his neighborhood and 694 00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:43,000 his folks from Brockton are going to show up in 695 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,840 droves right a great chance to see him in person. 696 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,079 And I think that's why these games are so cool, 697 00:35:49,159 --> 00:35:52,519 because you're seeing two great top ten teams, You're seeing 698 00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:55,239 them in a big time arena with a great crowd, 699 00:35:56,119 --> 00:36:00,320 And if it turns out to be a fabulous competitive game, 700 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960 I think the place will be rocking. I really do. 701 00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 3: The Big three Aj de Bonca, Richie Saunders, and Rob 702 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,639 Right the third they actually accounted for seventy of bas 703 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:15,719 eighty five points on Tuesday, this past Tuesday's game. I 704 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,360 think through three games, the big three has accounted for 705 00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:21,320 almost seventy percent of the scoring for BYU. I imagine 706 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,920 the scouting reporties very heavily focused on these three players. 707 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 2: AJ De Bonsa, Richie Sanders and Rob Right. 708 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt about it, because usually, you know, college 709 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,559 teams have two primary scorers. Only the really good ones 710 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:40,360 have three, maybe four people who can be dependent on 711 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,880 to put points up on the board every night. And 712 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,800 this team has three guys. And we talked about it. 713 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,519 Rob Wright is averaging almost fifteen a game, and De 714 00:36:49,639 --> 00:36:54,079 Bonsa is averaging almost twenty, and then Richie Saunders almost eighteen. 715 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,400 So all three are major threats, let's face it. So 716 00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:02,159 even though maybe the rest of the roster isn't a 717 00:37:02,199 --> 00:37:06,519 big time offensive problem, but they got three guys besides them. 718 00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:09,599 Dominique Diamonde I think he pronounced his name. Richard Freshman 719 00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:13,079 the French, a kid from Paris, France, transferred from Washington. 720 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,360 He's averaging almost ten points and he's only playing thirteen 721 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,840 minutes a game, so he's obviously kind of a microwave 722 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,719 when he gets on the court and Dawson Baker, another guy, 723 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,760 senior guard. He transferred from UC Irvine. He's averaging eight 724 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,440 and a half a game, you know, in seventeen minutes. 725 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,840 So all those guys in Cannard Davis Junior is also 726 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,599 a guy in minimal minutes averaging almost double figures. 727 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 3: Let me give you let me give you an update 728 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,960 on Canard. I don't know if he's gonna be playing. 729 00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:46,000 He was he was sided for a d DUI yesterday, 730 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,679 so I don't know if. I don't know what his 731 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,760 eligibility status is going to be and whether or not 732 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,519 he made the trip out to the East coast. 733 00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 5: Okay, well yeah, but the point is they have depth, 734 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,039 right Cada twenty minutes averaging six points, but he he 735 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,599 can really throw his weight around six to eight. Dude 736 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,400 was at Utah last year, so it's not like you're 737 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,039 playing the team with three great players and a bunch 738 00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:13,400 of supplementary guys. This looks like to me and what 739 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,480 I saw against Villanova a three man show, but seven 740 00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:19,960 or eight can really hurt you, and that to me 741 00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:22,599 is a sign of a good team. Right, he might 742 00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:25,280 have a couple off nights from the right or maybe 743 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,840 by Saunders whatever it may be. But the other guys 744 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,000 can pick up the slack and that is a huge, 745 00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:33,239 huge advantage for Kevin Young because he knows no matter 746 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,760 where they play, and they're in a tough conference. Now 747 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,639 remember that, no matter where they play on the road, 748 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,599 at least they have options, and you need options if 749 00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,440 you're going to have success in a really good league 750 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,519 like they're in right now. 751 00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 2: I was pulling up the numbers here. 752 00:38:52,119 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 3: Yukon's favored by I think five and a half in 753 00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:58,199 this game. One point fifty four point five is the 754 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,719 is the point total. ESPN Matchup Predictor gives the Yukon 755 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,840 Huskies a sixty five percent chance of victory. 756 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,119 Speaker 2: How do you see this game playing out? 757 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 3: It's at TD Guarden five pm November fifteenth, and I 758 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,960 think it's going to be broadcasting on Fox. 759 00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. 760 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 5: I think this is going to be a great game. 761 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,239 I mean, Yukon, if they play to their potential, can 762 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,840 win the game. I mean, I'm not in the prediction business. 763 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,920 I don't like to do it, but I think there's 764 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,880 ways that certainly BYU could come in and walk away 765 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,119 to victory too. Right, if they play up to their potential, 766 00:39:33,159 --> 00:39:37,280 it really comes down sometimes in these great matchups, who 767 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,719 is able to reach the level of excellence that they're 768 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,840 used to? Right If Aj Debonsa does his thing and 769 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,360 comes up with twenty five or a huge Nike, it's thirty. 770 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,639 I mean, anything could happen then. So Yukon's got to 771 00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:54,920 be very aware as a team about guys like him. 772 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,480 He's legit. He looks like a pro right now to me, 773 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,880 and I've seen a lot of pro over the years 774 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,039 coming out of college, and he's got the skill set right. 775 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,280 So you CON's got to find a way to make 776 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,599 it hard for him. And if they can do that, 777 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,920 maybe they slow down Rob Wright or maybe that you're 778 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,920 able to get Richie Saunders off his game somehow. You've 779 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,199 got to be able to do that against these great teams. 780 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,440 Otherwise you're matched up, both teams are going to score eighty, 781 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,480 and who makes the last basket wins. I mean that's 782 00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:24,400 the way these things go. 783 00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:29,639 Speaker 3: Oftentimes, Love the breakdown, Love talking ball with you.
