33
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:46,480
I want to start off here for a moment, Like

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,480
we've talked so much about DNP this this year. That's

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,799
Darren Peterson of Kansas. Many felt going into the season

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,920
that he'd be the number one overall pick in the

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,280
NBA draft. He has continually caused controvert and I may

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,040
delve into that a little bit here in the nitty

39
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:06,519
gritty before we get into all the Cougar Sports news

40
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,479
and notes, So stay tuned for that he's causing controversy

41
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:11,159
once again, and I wonder it's, you know, a little

42
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:12,919
bit of a conspiracy there is he just setting us

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400
all up for a little rope a dope come the

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,000
nc DOUBLEA tournament. He's load managing, load managing, load managing

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,719
getting to the NCAA tournament. That it's gonna go off

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,800
in the tourney and take the Kansas Jayhawks to glory

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,639
and victory in the NCUAA tournament for a natty. We'll

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,039
discuss that we do need to delve into the loss

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,439
versus U of a BYU going on the road and

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,560
filling short once again versus a formidable phone, no doubt

51
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:38,960
about it.

52
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: But they were.

53
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:44,439
Speaker 3: Short handed as was BYU. Many BYU fans are wondering

54
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,840
what will the answer be. Will BYU be able to

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,719
find their groove? Will they be able to find some

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,319
role players to support and booy up? Aj Devonsa and

57
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,479
Robert Right the third Ken Cannard Davis Junior continue to

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,039
step up.

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,199
Speaker 2: Is he going to be good enough as a.

60
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: Holistic, you know, multi faceted basketball player or do you

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,479
get to rely on somebody else. Many people, as we've discussed,

62
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:12,759
want to see better defense. The offense is actually one

63
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,719
of the most if you look at the offensive efficiency,

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,879
Ken Palm versus everybody else is still an elite offensive team.

65
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,680
I know there's a lot of people out there that

66
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:26,400
are critical of the offensive, the sets and some of

67
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,120
the actions that they're running, and a lot of the ISO,

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,479
but like, let's be honest with the defense is the

69
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,240
the glaring weakness, whether they're in zone or man, they

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,599
just they find it difficult to slow down these elite

71
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,319
and these are elite offensive teams that are getting buckets

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,240
and some of them and some of them are not.

73
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:46,719
Speaker 2: Elite either, and they're still getting buckets on BYU.

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,319
Speaker 3: So we'll de into that and much more here on

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,840
your Utah ESPN Radio Network. Quit without further ado, let's

76
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,599
fire up the ESPN the fans starting lineup, and I

77
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:55,400
can introduce you to my co host and the rest

78
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,599
of the starts out. I guess Jantie is for this Thursday,

79
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,639
February nineteenth edition of Cougar Sports, coming in hot with

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,000
all manner of great take. Should comment Terry, the ejector

81
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:05,120
producer of the show.

82
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:06,919
Speaker 2: We got Ronald the three man. We were behind the

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,759
glass behind the micros ap Ronnie, what's up?

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,719
Speaker 4: Then I'll save my thoughts on d and pizza later.

85
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:14,879
But we got a lot of clips that we will play.

86
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: But it's very interesting. I will just give you this tease.

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,639
Speaker 4: The national media now is aware of it, Ben, and

88
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,480
I'll save my my thirty second to a minute take

89
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:27,560
for later. But I got something that I think that

90
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,120
might change the perspective of everybody listening.

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,519
Speaker 2: If they already don't feel it, let's go.

92
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:36,079
Speaker 3: Let's also bring in Hammertime show Brett always bringing the hammer.

93
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:39,399
Speaker 2: What's up Hammertime? I'm a little irked. You're always a

94
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:41,600
little bit hitty. I you know what, I am a

95
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,639
little bit of a curmudgeon.

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 5: I like the good I love all that is holy,

97
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:47,079
I love the positive. But look every time you if

98
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:48,680
you do something stupid, I'm gonna be.

99
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,519
Speaker 2: Here for it. And we don't have to pull it

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,279
right now, Ronnie.

101
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: But I just want to tease the people and tell

102
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:57,160
them I heard maybe the dumbest question. I want to

103
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:59,120
give this guy a kudos to quote to quote the

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,879
great Big crowd it.

105
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,399
Speaker 2: I want to give this guy last night at kudos.

106
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 5: He was an Arizona media person, so I don't feel

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,120
bad saying this over the air, But I heard maybe

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,560
one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard in a

109
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,120
postgame media availability. So I'd love to make Cron and

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,079
give him some kudos. Gosh, I just I don't I

111
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:19,879
don't understand.

112
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:22,759
Speaker 3: Was it a talk about no, no, no, no, it

113
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,920
wasn't a talk about Ron.

114
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: Did we cut it or were we planning on playing

115
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,160
it for the post game? Okay, I was gonna save it,

116
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:31,800
but I can't do it.

117
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,959
Speaker 5: He's like, because I know because Ron and I had

118
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,680
talked before, and he was because we were both because

119
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,439
I was cutting the video and he was cutting the audio,

120
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,959
and I texted H and I was like, dude, this is

121
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:40,000
the dumbest question.

122
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,439
Speaker 2: I've ever heard.

123
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: And he goes, which one was it? And we were

124
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,680
talking and he was like, yeah, I cut that one.

125
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,319
I was like, yeah, so did I.

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 6: It was.

127
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: When I first started doing sideline reporting, the first thing

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,120
in my mind that I always thought when I ever

129
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:56,040
asked to coach a question, because because to me, sideline

130
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,480
reporting is the hardest interview that there is, because like,

131
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,839
you get about two questions, everyone's listening, and you don't

132
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,199
really get any time to make up for it.

133
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,319
Speaker 2: If you ask a dumb question.

134
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 5: So my first thought always was what's the best possible

135
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,720
to response the coach could give me? What's the worst

136
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:13,120
response the coach could give me? And like, let me

137
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:15,759
just think what answer could I likely get out of this?

138
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,680
And if it's worth it, then I'll ask it. But like,

139
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,720
you got to think ahead of time what could the

140
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,560
coach possibly say? And sometimes people ask these questions that

141
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,000
are so dumb that before I hear the question, I'm like,

142
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,560
there's not gonna be a good answer here. And yeah,

143
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,600
Kevin Young's a nice enough guy that he didn't go

Love it.

183
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,919
last night? I mean, did you go into this game

184
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,759
thinking that BYU was gonna go to Tucson and knock

185
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,120
off the U of a wildcatch?

186
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: Maybe you did.

187
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: Maybe you thought because copeat they were a little bit shorthanded,

188
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,360
they had a few guys that were missing out of

189
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,080
their lineup, their rotation, and but maybe you thought they

190
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,360
were gonna come away with a dub. There was hope,

191
00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:01,639
there was hope down in your bosom that that BYU

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,799
could figure it out.

193
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: What did we learn about BYU last night? Though? Think

194
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,159
about that.

195
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:09,159
Speaker 3: Despite a late rally, the number twenty three Coups fell

196
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,879
seventy five sixty eight to number four Arizona on Wednesday

197
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:15,159
evening at the mckill Center in Tucson, trailing by sixteen

198
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,000
with five twenty five remaining that is That is BAU basketball.

199
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,720
If there's one thing that we know about Bayu basketball

200
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,879
is they are down in the teams in the twenties

201
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,679
going into the second half or towards even the end

202
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,240
of the second half. So that is b Why if

203
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,519
you're gonna describe Byu this year, it's like they don't

204
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,879
really keep it close in the first half. They get

205
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:44,840
down and then they come roaring back somehow someway and

206
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:46,120
make it respectable.

207
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,039
Speaker 2: That's what they do.

208
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: So Canar Davis junior agent de Bonce has sparked that comeback,

209
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,840
feeling an eight zero run and following it with a

210
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,480
seven to zero, seven to zero surge less than a

211
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:57,399
minute later. Aj len Boll teams with thirty five points,

212
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,679
marking a sixth career a thirty point game, setting the

213
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,600
program all time freshman scoring record.

214
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: Congratulations to him.

215
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: It was expected he's met the bar of scoring, prowess

216
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,080
and potency, surpassing the goat. Danny Ames, it's a forty

217
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360
eight year old mark, But wasn't it expected?

218
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: To an agree, I think it was freshman.

219
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: The freshman went thirteen of twenty eight from the field,

220
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,279
and his twenty eight shot attempts set a second freshman

221
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,440
record for most field goal attempts in a season. Pretty

222
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,279
crazy to see that, but you know, not so crazy

223
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,440
we expected, I think volume and points from Debonsa. He

224
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,320
also added seven rebounds to assists and went seven to

225
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:38,519
eight from behind.

226
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 2: The charity charity stripe.

227
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: Robert Right the third, Davis Junior combined for twenty three points,

228
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,600
six rebounds, five assists, and two steals, and marked the

229
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,320
seventh time this season that Davis Junior has reached.

230
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: Double figures this season.

231
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: And you like some of the action that they employed

232
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600
to get Kennard Davis off screens and getting towards the

233
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,919
rim and he can finish. You know, something that we

234
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,679
have not done well, the dis service that has been

235
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,039
done to Cannard Davis junior. K why admitted to it.

236
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

237
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: He's not a catching shoe guy. He's not a picking

238
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,759
pop guy. He's more of a get to the rim

239
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:15,799
and on occasion, you know, I think once he gets

240
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:19,159
into a rhythm getting to the foul line, finishing at

241
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:20,919
the rim, then he can take some three point shots

242
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:22,879
and hit and we've seen that. We've seen that a

243
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,480
little bit over the last two games with the Canard

244
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:26,679
and so hopefully we can figure it out.

245
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,639
Speaker 2: There's still time. There's still time, right, there's still time.

246
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 5: Right.

247
00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:32,519
Speaker 3: What did we learn about BYU basketball last night? Ronnie,

248
00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:34,399
you chime in first and then Hammertime Show.

249
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:37,759
Speaker 4: I really was thinking, because I knew you're gonna ask

250
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:40,639
me this question. Maybe the thing that you think that

251
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,120
they're not good at, don't try to force them to do.

252
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,360
They played two games. Let's try to take away the

253
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:51,320
the you know, the the paint. Force him to shoot threes.

254
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,120
They still got inside the paint, you know, Okay, make

255
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:56,519
him take threes, go all in, keep them out and

256
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,879
then they hit them. And I just would like to know,

257
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,960
like what the scout report, if you know CoA Pete's out,

258
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:03,960
and if you know Ben that they had a guy

259
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,360
that played last year that was in the starting line

260
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,000
that mind you, by the chance, and that guy can

261
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:13,039
shoot threes, wouldn't it be maybe in a good good

262
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:15,159
thing to have him on the scouting report. I have

263
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,320
a feeling that he probably wasn't on the scouting report.

264
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,360
You know why, because when I look at Bradley having

265
00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:22,799
ten assists, that was the problem because Dolorso just went crazy.

266
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,320
He went cycle And now I get it, people are

267
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,399
gonna yell at Dominique. You can't let a shot happen.

268
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,240
It was a moving screen. He got pulled by Braden

269
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,360
Burry's that's all the stuff you can do in between

270
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,799
the lines that you get away with. But that still

271
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,720
wasn't The catalyst was that you don't have defenders, Ben,

272
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,320
you don't have someone that could have gone on Doloro,

273
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,720
that could have stopped them. That was the problem. That

274
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:44,360
was the biggest catalyst. Like that guy had not gone

275
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,039
off all season, you know, even last year struggled a

276
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:49,919
little bit. And it's been the Cougar Stats that put

277
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,879
this out. Everybody has like their season or like career

278
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:56,519
day pretty much against BYU, everybody, everybody that they played,

279
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,919
and that was the same thing last night again, someone

280
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:00,519
else went for a season high.

281
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,519
Speaker 2: And that's the problem.

282
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: And I know that you had this conversation a couple

283
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,519
of weeks ago if a J shouldn't take Darren Peterson,

284
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:08,840
but I'm sorry you might have to tell AJ you're

285
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,879
gonna have to score thirty five. You're gonna have to

286
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,919
lead the team in all categories minus one assistment, like

287
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,440
that's what he had team highs and all of those

288
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,399
he led at BYU, and you're gonna have to take

289
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:19,639
the best defender probably too, or take the guy that

290
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,200
that is cooking. And I think that was the biggest

291
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,840
thing is you gotta count for everyone on the scouting port.

292
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,480
So I think looking at Iowa State, you gotta account

293
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,120
for Tam and Lipsey. You gotta count for a melan.

294
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,440
You can't just say, oh, Joshua Jefferson. But that's the thing.

295
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,799
Who do they have defensively? That's what I'm learning is

296
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,320
that this team all around is struggling defensively to stop

297
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,120
people from the perimeter because everybody is having their season

298
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,440
highs and that that's written in the stats been that's

299
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:45,840
not fake.

300
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:49,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, And honestly, I don't even think telling Aj to

301
00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:53,399
score thirty five is enough. Like at this point, it's like, hey, Aj,

302
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:56,399
in order for us to win, you basically have to

303
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:59,120
score forty plus fifty plus and you can only miss

304
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,120
like six or seven shots because they really don't have

305
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,679
a whole lot of offensive production. And to the point

306
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
that you just finished with Ron, they can't slow teams

307
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,840
down enough where just AJ and Rob can get the

308
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,360
job done. Because that would be a path to winning

309
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,759
if you could play defense and just Aj and rob

310
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:24,200
could average fifty points between the two, and you could

311
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,480
get ten to fifteen from somebody else. But you could

312
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,960
play not Houston level, but like a tier below Houston

313
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:31,720
level defense.

314
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,279
Speaker 2: You could win these games.

315
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,919
Speaker 5: The problem is you're just getting into shootouts, and as

316
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,879
good as your two guys are, you're just missing those

317
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,440
ten to fifteen points from literally anyone else.

318
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: I will say.

319
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,559
Speaker 5: Last night, I felt that bou played better than I

320
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,320
thought they were going to. I thought first game without

321
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,440
Richie Saunders was going to be a struggle because usually

322
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,600
what we talked about with the team is Okay, go

323
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:01,080
target Richie and then let the other Tids do what

324
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:01,440
they do.

325
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: Well, this game, you didn't have to target Richie.

326
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: You could just you could go after Robin Aj, and

327
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Robin Aj did a really good job. I also feel

328
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,720
like to the point of Arizona's three point shooting, the

329
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,240
Dominique miss at the end of a half was tough.

330
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,399
I do feel like though Byu was in some good

331
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,519
positions to defend some of those threes. It kind of

332
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:26,200
felt like Arizona was in a flow last night shooting

333
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,039
three point wise.

334
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: They were they everybody was sitting.

335
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: There like, I don't even think by you played that

336
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,559
bad defensively. For at least the first half when they

337
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,919
were knocking on those threes, they were in position shar

338
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Tchenkov and and adel orso they were just they were

339
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,639
just knocking them down. And again with this Arizona team,

340
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:46,480
it's like they just have a plethora of options.

341
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: Now what's tough is this is a.

342
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,919
Speaker 5: Team that the the big criticism was, well, they don't

343
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,000
shoot enough threes. Well, their argument back was, it's not

344
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,240
that we can't, we just don't have to. That's not

345
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,919
something we have to pull out of the tool belt.

346
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,039
So what I learned about BU last night is they

347
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,480
played better than I thought they were going to without

348
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:10,039
Richie Sanders. And I waffle back and forth of is

349
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,480
this a moral victory because you came into Tucson without

350
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,039
Richie Saunders and you were very close to beating a

351
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,080
top five team in America. Sure, However, when you get

352
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,919
to the tournament, there's no moral victories. There's no if

353
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,039
would have, could have, should have. It's just did you

354
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,240
win or did you not win the game. And unfortunately,

355
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,600
not having Richie Saunders, like they don't give you extra points. Oh,

356
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,480
you lost your best player, here's a couple extra points,

357
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:38,279
like they don't give you that. And the issue last

358
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,279
night was the same that the issue has been all season,

359
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,879
which is you can play close with the big dogs,

360
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,039
but you can't beat a single big dog. And so

361
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:49,240
I guess you could say, well, maybe this gives you

362
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,639
confidence if they played this close with Arizona, that they

363
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:53,279
could beat some of the bad teams they'll see in

364
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:53,840
the tournament.

365
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know.

366
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:58,519
Speaker 4: Defense is on an issue, Ben, I think that's what

367
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,279
you'll take away, that the defense is the problem. Ben,

368
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,480
I mean and Robbie Macombs that put this out and

369
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,079
I went back and I looked at it. What Bau

370
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,599
was averaging and doing offensively would have led the NCAA

371
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,920
I think once or twice in the last couple of

372
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,799
years in offensive production. But defensively is that's that's the issue.

373
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:16,799
And I did learn this about Arizona two beIN and

374
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,279
I think we have to tip our cap. Arizona proved

375
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:20,960
why they can win a national championship and why they

376
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:22,799
might do it, ye, why they might go to their

377
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,440
first final four since what two thousand and one? Because Ben,

378
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,880
you don't have Coe Pete. That's a that's a lottery pick.

379
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,640
Burry's shot terribly. You know, Brawley didn't get off, he

380
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,079
was facilitating. He showed why he's an NBA player, and

381
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,160
they had two guys cook like that's what happened. You know,

382
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,519
in BA, you couldn't stop it. I was watching saying, Okay,

383
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:43,480
Tommy Lloyd is a very good coach. He he does

384
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:46,279
really well. And this Arizona team is that you you

385
00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:48,720
should fear Arizona. And I say that you didn't believe

386
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,440
that earlier, but what you saw last night Ben proved

387
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:53,680
why Arizona I think will be in the Elite eate

388
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:55,519
competing for a Final four opportunity.

389
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, this is the thing.

390
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: There has been, I believe, over the last two years,

391
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:07,440
a bit of a conglomeration of talent at the highest level,

392
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,559
at the highest schools.

393
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,279
Speaker 2: Like some of these teams are are stacked.

394
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:16,559
Speaker 3: They are some of the best teams collectively that have

395
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,400
ever been I think showcased in college basketball.

396
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: They're stacked.

397
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: Why because you know, some of them have a robust

398
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,319
nil offering. Some of them have a combination of that

399
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:31,039
with great coaching, instability and brand and culture. And all

400
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:35,599
of that allows you to aggregate talent, and I think

401
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960
there's some good continuity in some of these elite teams

402
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,559
as well. So to your point, you brought up some metrics,

403
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:46,240
how Bay's offensive metrics would be some of the best

404
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,400
in college basketball for the last few years. It LAIDs

405
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,000
us down the path of Okay, we know we can

406
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,240
score buckets, but we're also going to get some elite

407
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,559
teams in the Big twelve, so our defense is still

408
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:58,319
an issue. What did we do in the off season?

409
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:00,359
What did be what you do in the office. They

410
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,759
went out and tried to get more defensive centric players,

411
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:05,960
and then they went out and find They tried to

412
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,119
find some shooters because they knew that AJ was going

413
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920
to be able to penetrate draw doubles, Richie was gonna

414
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,599
be able to penetrate and draw doubles. Rob was going

415
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,640
to be able to penetrate and draw doubles. That's what

416
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,240
they went out and tried to do. Kudos to Justin Young,

417
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,319
Doug Stewart, and and the rest of the staff for

418
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,880
going out and putting together the good staff. What I

419
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,880
know about this team is and I'm not trying to

420
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,960
give them any sort of like leash here. There needs

421
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,720
to be accountability, because there needs to be accountability. But

422
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,880
you got like five season ending injuries. Yeah, it just sucks.

423
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:43,920
It's like like I said, like I want BAU to

424
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:49,039
be meet the standard, but when you look at it objectively,

425
00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:53,960
it's like you got five season ending injuries. Dawson would help, Okay, Hey,

426
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:55,160
Dowson would help a lot.

427
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:56,279
Speaker 2: Richie.

428
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 3: I mean even with with Richie, you could still kind

429
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,000
of at certain things, say defensively or offensively, the ball

430
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,880
gets a little sticky defensively, don't close out quick enough,

431
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,240
all those things. I get it, But you're still like

432
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,440
you're you're still competitive. Like I'm wondering how competitive b

433
00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:16,880
why you can be with the upper rational on of

434
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,200
college basketball when they're on in full force. Obviously they're competitive,

435
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,759
they just were competiti versus you of A. But you

436
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:26,519
know when we get into MC doublea play and will

437
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,559
Ky why be able to figure it out. So taking

438
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:33,720
it all into account I'm not fretting. I'm just sad

439
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,920
that b why you had so many injuries, and many

440
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,599
of you are going to point out the weakness systematically,

441
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,880
and maybe you can make an argument that the defensive coordinator.

442
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: Whoever is now overseeing that.

443
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if they've been open and forthright about

444
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,160
who's really managing if it's Tim Fanning.

445
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: Or Will Void. Will Void was.

446
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:57,079
Speaker 3: Was initially dubbed like that that peel and switch guy

447
00:20:57,279 --> 00:20:59,400
the defensive coordinator. I don't know if Tim Fanning is

448
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,480
now operating over the defense. Remember when Ky came in

449
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,319
as the head coach, He's like, I'm excited to do both.

450
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,319
I've typically been the offensive guy. Remember that. Remember k

451
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:12,319
Y came in and remember and he said, Hey, you know,

452
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
I'm excited to like look at all of it and

453
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:15,920
manage all of it.

454
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,279
Speaker 2: I want to be on the defense side of the wall.

455
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 3: Maybe we just you know, is it a personnel thing

456
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,599
or is it a scheme thing? Is it an effort thing?

457
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,640
Is it a culture thing defensively? Is it a managed

458
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,839
load management thing? Is it conserving energy type of thing?

459
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

460
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: We went to a two three zone, and I've been

461
00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:33,519
asking for it. You Vey was, as you pointed out,

462
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:39,160
hammer time they were hitting, Dude, like they're hitting, there's hitting, man,

463
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,640
I mean anything.

464
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:45,279
Speaker 2: It seemed like they were hunking up and they were hitting.

465
00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:46,960
So they was like, oh you get a three, You

466
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:47,759
get a three.

467
00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: It was NBA jams, NBA jam last it was what

468
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:52,319
b YU was last year.

469
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: Man, you just feel like they couldn't miss.

470
00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 4: But to your point about Tim and Fanning and Will Void,

471
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,839
you know, talking to Tim on the pregame show, if

472
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:02,960
he's in charge of the coverages, but Bill Voyd is

473
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,519
overseeing that still charge of accountability, both of them still

474
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,079
is not getting done. So not the police.

475
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, his primary we do know that his primary schematical

476
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:18,079
assistance are his professional acquisitions, which are Will Void and

477
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:18,599
Tim Fanning.

478
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: That's who he brought in absolute to run the scheme.

479
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:30,240
You know, John, I feel like John's more of the

480
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,720
the on ball technique. Ball technique guys. Yeah, he's trying

481
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:38,559
to he's trying to. I mean, he's.

482
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 3: He's trying to get the most out of Rob right

483
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,640
the third, He's trying to get the most out of

484
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,279
Cannard Davis from a ten Richard that's what. Yeah, he's

485
00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:50,400
trying to get those guys really dialed in on how

486
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:57,839
to get just close out to adjust to ball screens. Yeah,

487
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,599
you know, and in discussing the techn within the scheme

488
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,519
to maximize it does that make sense to maximize efficiency?

489
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:07,079
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

490
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe you can put it on him, maybe

491
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,640
you can't, But you know there, do you see a

492
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960
cardiovascular issue with this team?

493
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: Do you see a wind issue?

494
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 7: No?

495
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 5: I just frankly, there's some guys who defensively, they can't

496
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:29,119
keep a body in front of him, and that's why

497
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,799
they get in foul trouble. And I don't want to

498
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,880
name names or anybody, but like, there are some guys

499
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,599
on this team who, like, my athleticism is just better

500
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,759
than yours, and I'll always get ahead of you. And

501
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:39,720
that's why you saw a couple of times last night

502
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,599
certain individuals got beat and then wrap up foul go

503
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,200
to the free throw line Like I they're just because

504
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:48,559
the depth has been tested.

505
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: So much more than we thought.

506
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: Like some of these guys, I just don't think are

507
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:55,160
the defenders that you would you necessarily want.

508
00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 3: Even when you did, like defend well, block shots for

509
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,200
really highly contested shots. Another glaring issue is just you

510
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,880
can't get defensive. Hadeem Boop got foul on that final rebound,

511
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,200
like he got demolished, but like he looked like a

512
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,799
little baby deer just getting pushed over by a moose,

513
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,680
like a full grown moose in the paint.

514
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,079
Speaker 5: You know, is a big he looks like he looks

515
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,599
like he should be playing football, Like he looks too big.

516
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,599
Speaker 2: He's got a zachy kind of feel to him. Done,

517
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,880
he's just big.

518
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 4: He's big, and he was the strongest, if not stronger,

519
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,440
like that's.

520
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:42,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so it sucked. I mean, like we're

521
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,039
right there to get the rebound.

522
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: It's like a five to six point game.

523
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: We get possession a minute left and we can't get

524
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,319
the damn rebound. Hadiem's right there. I mean he's right there,

525
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,799
and yeah he got foulded. But like big boys put

526
00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:02,039
on the big boy pants and come down.

527
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: With that rebound. They just do. I go back to that.

528
00:25:05,839 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, we got an opportunity here, and then

529
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:10,240
what do we do? We get the ball bag, we

530
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:13,839
still have a chance, and aj gets lack a daisical.

531
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,920
He throws it with his left hand after kind of

532
00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:19,440
getting stymied coming off the off the bounce to the

533
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:19,960
right wing.

534
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,839
Speaker 2: I mean, that was stupid, youth, you know what I mean?

535
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:27,519
Can I rip someone? Okay? And I look and look

536
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,480
a thirty five I'm sitting there. It's like, these are

537
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,319
critical situations.

538
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,599
Speaker 4: With the one you get stripped by the seven foot

539
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:40,720
like you got.

540
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,319
Speaker 3: When you're when you're that small, you have to be

541
00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:46,920
very judicious. You got to be a really good you

542
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,519
got to be really good at carrying the ball in

543
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:53,559
a quick and efficient and like very fast.

544
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:55,759
Speaker 2: Manner so it doesn't look like a carry, does that

545
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:59,319
make sense? Or you have to literally lower your.

546
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: Ass to six inches above the court and dribble like

547
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,359
like in centimeters, like you know, like you're quick dribble

548
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,359
when you're growing up, you're just like with a fingertail,

549
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,640
You're like, you gotta get that low because most of

550
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,200
those wings they struggle to bend at the waist and

551
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,839
lower centigraph and get down that low. It's one of

552
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,559
two things when you are the Tim Hardaway style point

553
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:31,119
guard that is rob Wright that and he's been ripped

554
00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:36,440
too many times this year when he's in that traffic versus,

555
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,559
in my opinion, you know individuals that probably shouldn't be

556
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,400
ripping him as much as he has been ripped.

557
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: But look like I'm nitpicking here.

558
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:48,799
Speaker 3: I'm nitpicking, but these are critical times and it's it's

559
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,359
happened too often during critical times. Also, let me critique

560
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,240
Coastick Coastic. You got to be very jenicius about where

561
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,359
you're passing the ball and a j you need to

562
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,000
maybe wall off and seal off when you're calling for

563
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:03,799
the damn ball.

564
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: Goodness gracious does that?

565
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,519
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, Coasting, I'd rather have Coast to shoot

566
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:11,519
than than probably passed. If you get a wife, if

567
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:13,759
you get it like a semi good looking I mean,

568
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,480
you're better off just hucking it up.

569
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: Especially he got pulled right away. I felt bad for Coasting. Coasting.

570
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:21,599
You're a shooter, man, shoot shoot.

571
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: Maruss can't hit a shot right now, Mihilo can't hit

572
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,559
a shot.

573
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean they all get pulled.

574
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:36,319
Speaker 3: Man, that you can see there's so much distrust between.

575
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:40,279
Speaker 2: K Why and his bench. Mihilo had some wide open

576
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:42,759
looks the three that he missed. Anyway.

577
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, what I'm saying is like, there's absolutely no trust

578
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:50,319
that kay Why in his in his bench, because when

579
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:52,359
you get pulled so quickly, they's like, geh, I need

580
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,039
somebody else, I need somebody else, somebody somebody, Please, for

581
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,480
the love of all that's holy.

582
00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: Someone get out there.

583
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: It make good decisions I mean, have you seen that

584
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,119
how quick the leash is.

585
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like, oh yeah.

586
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:10,559
Speaker 4: It's I could tell you Mark Pope. Remember the game

587
00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:12,759
against Utah Noel Water when it was oer seven. I

588
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:15,480
think Trevor Nill didn't hit a three, and at least

589
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,319
Mark Pope left him out there, right, Ben to just

590
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,400
keep trying, Like I hate to bring that point up,

591
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,920
but I mean think about it, remember that game, Like.

592
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark Pope would let some guys go. He would

593
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,640
just let guys go, like I'm not trying to.

594
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 4: Maybe look, I don't know right, Kevin's making the big bucks, Ben,

595
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,319
but I'm kind of feeling like, all right, I know

596
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,039
they missed three, but just let him keep going. Remember

597
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:38,079
Canard been in the first half of I can't remember.

598
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: What game it was. He it was a Houston game.

599
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,119
Speaker 4: He missed his first three and then he made what

600
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,400
his last five shot? Like, you gotta let him keep

601
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,599
going sometimes. But you know what that does Because you

602
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:49,200
talk about distrust, You're right, there's distrust, But you know

603
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,960
what that does, Ben is having someone that played a

604
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,680
college of sport, you get pulled like they're like, oh

605
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,759
a coach, don't trust me. Confidence shattered shattered through the

606
00:28:56,839 --> 00:28:59,279
roof that young You're like even Mihilo who's played at

607
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:02,240
highest level, Like it's not just.

608
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: You can when Behila, when Coastick turned the ball over,

609
00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:10,279
he just he looked and he kind of clapped his

610
00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:11,759
hands and he just ran to the bed.

611
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: I'm out.

612
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: He didn't even go he didn't even really go after

613
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,440
the ball, like he didn't like scrambled, like if I

614
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:24,759
turned the ball over. Guys, I'm running as fast as

615
00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:27,680
I can. I already know I'm probably gonna get pulled.

616
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,039
I'm gonna go foul somebody.

617
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go make it worth it, even if you

618
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,359
know you have no shot at catching.

619
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: I'm following that ill advised passed that probably should have

620
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:38,960
been walled off by.

621
00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: A j bumping into you know what i mean, Like,

622
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,279
you know I'm.

623
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,519
Speaker 3: Running hard because I know how coach is gonna view

624
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:50,279
that on tape. I'm at least getting bot number. I'm

625
00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:52,559
throwing his shoulder into somebody. I'm put it right under

626
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:55,279
the chin. You know, I'm gonna go foul somebody. I'm

627
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:57,359
gonna make it worth it. I'm gonna make that turnover

628
00:29:57,519 --> 00:30:00,480
worth it, you know what I mean. I'm gonna make

629
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,160
you buy that turnover. Anyway, this is not a bad

630
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,960
basketball team. Once again, happiness is determined satisfaction in life

631
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:16,559
and in BYU basketball is determined by our expectations, ladies

632
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:19,519
and gentlemen, boys and girls. That is the nature of

633
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:24,559
it all. The problem is the bar was said extremely high.

634
00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:29,880
It was aj preseasons like Natty, We're like, yeah.

635
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,079
Speaker 2: We're just like, hey, possibly, let's get to a final four.

636
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Let's get to an lead eight, Let's get to a

637
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,359
sweet sixteen. That is our quota. Yeah, we gotta get

638
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:37,519
back to the sweet sixteen.

639
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,279
Speaker 3: Now, we're like, let's just not embarrass ourselves in the

640
00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:45,720
round of sixty four. Let's get to the tournament and

641
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:47,720
let's not embarrass it. Let's get to the round of thirty.

642
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,039
We're to the point where we're like, are we around

643
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:51,920
a thirty two team?

644
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,599
Speaker 5: Which team did you have more confidence in winning game

645
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,440
one of the tournament?

646
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: This year's team.

647
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,119
Speaker 5: Or Mark Pope's last year, because I think it's a

648
00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:02,160
lot closer than.

649
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: It should be. Yeah, huh are you talking?

650
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,039
Speaker 3: You're talking about Jackson Robinson and that team that lost

651
00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:11,079
the first round. Yeah, to the shame to your Yeah, yep,

652
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:13,400
and Lebron brand new shoes.

653
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,799
Speaker 2: And I think this team is probably the pick.

654
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 5: But I'm telling you, I think that is a closer

655
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,039
debate than it should be.

656
00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:20,119
Speaker 2: Can we have a real debate?

657
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:20,279
Speaker 6: Ben?

658
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, would last year's team be able to beat this

659
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:24,720
year's team? Yeah? Oh yeah?

660
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: Right now, He's like, it's just it feels like, you know,

661
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:30,400
it's just it's it's just tough.

662
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 8: No.

663
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:33,599
Speaker 4: But I'm with Brad. I'm not gonna lie like I

664
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,559
am more worried. And I never thought I would say

665
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:38,759
this about this year. And look, I'm saying, based on talent,

666
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:40,920
coaching and everything that they even invest in it, they

667
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,799
have that should they should be in the sweet sixteen.

668
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,440
But what I feel in what I'm seeing right now

669
00:31:46,519 --> 00:31:50,039
is that I'm worried that this team might they might

670
00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:51,920
not work out well even in the first round game.

671
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:54,599
Like I'm gonna be honest, like they because March Madness

672
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,119
teams get hot. Ben, if they get a guy that

673
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,039
gets hot shooting and they can't stop him, as I think,

674
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,559
and I still believe there'll be a sixth seed, or

675
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,920
let's say they dropped to a seventh. A ten seed

676
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,480
can upset a seventh seed. We've seen it before, or

677
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,839
could they be a first round exit? That's not hyperbole,

678
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,400
like your concern now if they don't win on Saturday

679
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:12,519
at Iowa State. By the way, you want to hear

680
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:15,079
this one and six against a p poles top twenty

681
00:32:15,079 --> 00:32:18,920
five teams this year, I think or if that's absurd, right,

682
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,759
But I'm nervous. I'm more nervous for this year's team

683
00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:24,200
than the twenty twenty three team because we thought the

684
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,079
twenty twenty three team easily been will win at least

685
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:29,839
one game this seat. Now we're wondering can they even

686
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,759
win the rest of the season. That's what worried about,

687
00:32:31,759 --> 00:32:34,160
Like can you been like can they beat Iowa State?

688
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:35,519
Speaker 2: They got a gauntlet on the road.

689
00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: They gotta go to West Virginia then Cincinnati, like they

690
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,039
lost the Cincinnati last year when they went there.

691
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:42,119
Speaker 2: West Virginia's knocked off some pretty good teams. I know

692
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:42,960
Utah got them right.

693
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,119
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna get points. I think they can

694
00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:50,079
continue to score. They're two good offensively between I think

695
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,039
those three. Now the new Big three I think is

696
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:57,519
actually gonna step into a bigger role offensively and begin

697
00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:01,039
to get downhill, get to the rim and finish. And

698
00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:03,400
I'm excited about that, Actually, I really am. I think

699
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,880
he can Cannard's Cannard's a good basketball player. He is,

700
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,119
he can be, and he was last year. There's a

701
00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:14,680
reason why they went out and got him. And so

702
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:17,599
Canard is gonna have to fill some bigger shoes at

703
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:21,160
six six two fifteen. He can handle, he can he

704
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,640
can shoot when he gets into his groove, he can finish,

705
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,799
he can hit free throws.

706
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,759
Speaker 2: He was a good player last year at SIU.

707
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: He really was one of the He was one of

708
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,240
the better players in the transfer portal.

709
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: Remember he was averaging.

710
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:36,759
Speaker 3: I want to say he was almost at like twenty

711
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:39,599
points a game at times, like towards the end of

712
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,079
the season. I mean he had twenty six, twenty one,

713
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,440
twenty four, nineteen twenty two, and in the final game

714
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:52,559
versus Drake he had he had only ten. But he

715
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:55,039
can be a volume guy. He just got to get

716
00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:56,440
into his groove. He's got to get to the free

717
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,720
throw line a little bit more often. And by the way,

718
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:00,519
some of his best games las ye when he was

719
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:04,279
getting to the charity stride right, some of his best performances.

720
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:08,519
I mean, he was averaging you know, at least four

721
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:11,760
to six free throws per game. So he's getting to

722
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,440
the line a few times and that's what we need

723
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,000
to see from Canard. Anyway, that segment, guys, we're gonna

724
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,679
get into some sound, so stay tuned.

now I love oldies.

758
00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: I'm a nostalgic man. The good old days, baby, when

759
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,440
all was right, when all was true. Yes, indeed, g

760
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:13,559
Man would say it was the eighties during the Danny

761
00:36:13,559 --> 00:36:16,440
Age era which AJ Debonca was able to just clip

762
00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:21,599
the freshman scoring record that Danny Age held for uh

763
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,840
we dot pretty much time and all eternity, there would

764
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,519
not be uh it would not be cross until b

765
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,079
YU got potentially a number one overall draft pick in

766
00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:32,639
this next year's NBA draft. Aj Debonsa signed, He'll delivered,

767
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:34,599
and I think for the most part, I think he's

768
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:35,239
met the standard.

769
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,159
Speaker 2: I mean he has Aj Debonsa real quick. Has he

770
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,079
met the standard? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he's met the standard.

771
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,039
It just sucks because he doesn't have the rest of

772
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:43,599
the team.

773
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,039
Speaker 6: To go with it.

774
00:36:44,159 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have enough, don't have enough wins to

775
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,719
go Yeah.

776
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: So anyway, b YU basketball, I mean they are considered

777
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,800
a rich team, a rich girl.

778
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:54,199
Speaker 2: If you will.

779
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, uh so did they get the I've had

780
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,159
people ask this question. Look, those that have given, you know,

781
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,039
these corporate sponsors that have given the the the cash

782
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:10,400
in order to bring in some really good basketball players.

783
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,039
Are are they disappointed in their ROI right now? Or

784
00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:16,719
are they giving grace to k Why and the Cougar

785
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:21,559
basketball team because of the season ending injuries to Dawson,

786
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,920
to Richie, to Brody, to Nate Pickens. To save you

787
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,679
on Stton Kaba has a concussion and hand issue.

788
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: He's got all these injuries.

789
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,679
Speaker 3: Is there grace or are they like, man, you have

790
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,880
not met the standard Ky and this Boe basketball team.

791
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,119
Speaker 5: If you order something from a company, that might up

792
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:43,320
a little bit more. If you order something from a

793
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,880
company and it gets delayed. Do you care that they're

794
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,920
having an HR crisis? Do you care that Joe Johnson

795
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,960
wasn't in the office and that's why it didn't come

796
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:53,400
on time?

797
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't.

798
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 5: And I would imagine with some of these upper level people,

799
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,119
these high performing people, they don't give a McK cronin

800
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:06,599
about whether or not you're having injury issues like they

801
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,639
That doesn't give them more dollars back. There's there's not

802
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:12,920
an insurance policy to say, oh, you know what, well,

803
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:14,719
we gave X amount of dollars to so and so

804
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,440
they got injured, so you're gonna get to recoup some

805
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,239
of your money. They're out wins and they're out their money.

806
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,280
So they have no ROI on this at all. And

807
00:38:25,039 --> 00:38:28,360
my guess is as much as they as a human

808
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,000
feel for Kevin Young, they're probably upset because they feel

809
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:31,800
like their money didn't do.

810
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: A whole lot. You can rely on the own man money.

811
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,440
Is it old man money? I can't remember what's the

812
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:38,360
lyric anyway?

813
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: Band of the Day loved the commentary from Hammer Time

814
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:44,800
show Brett always bringing the hammer. You can rely on

815
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,800
the old man's money. You can rely on the own

816
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,360
man's money. It's a it's a female canine girl, but

817
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,760
it's gone too far. You know the lyrics sugarnation. It

bonds and postgame versus u of A. Why does your

829
00:39:22,559 --> 00:39:24,679
team have the ability to shrink leads at the end

830
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:27,599
of the games. Isn't this the mantra of BYU? Isn't

831
00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:30,679
this the motto of BWAU basketball? Get down late or

832
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,920
get down early and come roaring back late. Why is

833
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,119
it that your team has the ability to shrink leads

834
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,280
at the end of games.

835
00:39:38,119 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: But not so much at the beginning.

836
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 6: I don't think that was the case in this game.

837
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 8: I mean, I thought it was a neck and neck game,

838
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,079
and they got a little spread by getting a few

839
00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:48,679
offensive rebounds where they got that lead. So that's a

840
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,199
fair question because it's happened. I didn't think what you're

841
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:55,360
referring to. I didn't think was the case tonight from

842
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,519
a from a standpoint, Oh why didn't you do that sooner?

843
00:39:57,599 --> 00:39:59,639
In terms of our ability to not quit? We just

844
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:03,239
got the competitive guys, you know, and you know, I

845
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,199
think we have a lot of belief in ourselves no

846
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,400
matter the situation that we find ourselves in, and that

847
00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:11,119
was the case tonight. But but again, I mean, that's

848
00:40:11,159 --> 00:40:13,079
a really good basketball team, right, So it's not like

849
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,320
you can just say, oh, go do this and then

850
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:15,960
it's gonna work.

851
00:40:16,039 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 6: Right. You got obviously.

852
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 8: Give them a lot of credit because they had a

853
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,400
lot of guys that stepped up.

854
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 3: A Greer disagree with that assessment. He said, Look, I

855
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,800
thought it was a neck and neck game. They got

856
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,159
a few offensive rebounds and we got it to sixteen.

857
00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:39,880
Was this same similar to what we've seen this season

858
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,039
from BAU basketball.

859
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,199
Speaker 5: I don't think so, because I think what the reporter

860
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,679
was referring to is BYU struggles it in first halves

861
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,199
and then shows up late in the second half. I

862
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,880
don't feel like BHYU struggled in the first half. In fact,

863
00:40:54,159 --> 00:40:56,039
on the contrary, I think that's one of the best

864
00:40:56,119 --> 00:41:00,440
halves they've played offensively and defensively all season. So while

865
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,400
I think that statement is true as a whole about

866
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,559
the team, that's not The reason that BYU was down.

867
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 2: In this game is because they struggled in the first half.

868
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,519
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Ronald three Man, we were real quick agree

869
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,360
or disagree with that assessment from ky.

870
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: I agree with Kevin Young's statement right there, as like

871
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,400
Brett said, Look, I understand as a whole in games, yes,

872
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,280
that's been kind of their mantra, but they weren't. I

873
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,639
mean what, they went down seven and a halftime and

874
00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:28,719
probably should have went down four. If we're gonna be honest, no,

875
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239
I think that's an inaccurate statement for this particular game,

876
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:34,119
But in totality that is the identity, but no, not

877
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:34,719
for this game.

878
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 3: Five minutes remaining. What they were down sixteen? Right, sixteen?

879
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:43,400
Five minutes remaining. I don't care how you get there.

880
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:48,239
I'm gonna all push back here. I was like, you're

881
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,480
still down sixteen with five minutes remaining. Sure, I don't

882
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,079
care about the halves. I care about the margins. And

883
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:56,480
when you're you're in the second half and you're down

884
00:41:56,559 --> 00:41:59,440
sixteen and you come roaring back to make it respectful,

885
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,559
that's Ba basketball.

886
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: So I would say that he's still be Away basketball.

887
00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 3: How you get down, whether it's in the first half

888
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,199
or in the second half, doesn't matter to me. You're

889
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:12,079
down sixteen, okay, sixteen points with five minutes remaining, and

890
00:42:12,519 --> 00:42:14,280
you did. You got it within a couple of possessions

891
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,320
to possessions.

892
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,159
Speaker 6: I think.

893
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,559
Speaker 2: But couldn't get a defensive rebound.

894
00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:20,679
Speaker 3: Couldn't get a defensive rebound when you needed it most

895
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,880
after a really good defensive effort, a really good contestant

896
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,079
shot from Keba. Keba had a few nice, really nice blocks.

897
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,960
You know, I don't cay Keba had a couple of putbacks.

898
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:34,119
We're beginning. One silver lining is I think with the

899
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,519
increased minutes of Keba. We did see a little bit

900
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,400
more of that put back Keba and that shot blocking

901
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:48,119
Keba when he was healthy, strong, nourished and strengthened. Did

902
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:51,239
you see flashes of that Keba Keda last night? I

903
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,039
think you did, and that got me a little bit

904
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:57,239
jazz and I saw Kennard put it on the bounce.

905
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,000
You know, it takes you to take to the rim finished.

906
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:02,719
That should have been an and one, by the way,

907
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,800
should have been an and one with the body body blow.

908
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:08,599
Speaker 2: It is what it is. AJ.

909
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,159
Speaker 3: Let's get to your sound bite. AJ, you had a

910
00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:14,000
great night tonight. What did you see on the floor

911
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:14,639
that allowed that.

912
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,199
Speaker 2: To be aggressive early?

913
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:19,679
Speaker 10: Obviously Richie's out when he brings a lot of scoring,

914
00:43:19,679 --> 00:43:22,199
a lot of aggressiveness. So I just tried to mimic

915
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,320
what he gave us and try to dis instill in

916
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,400
the meet because with Dona.

917
00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 2: Guy trying to do as Richie would do. AJ was

918
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,719
really smooth with it. He was nice.

919
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,599
Speaker 3: He was very smooth with it for both of you.

920
00:43:34,039 --> 00:43:35,840
How are you dealing with Richie being heard and getting

921
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:36,199
around that?

922
00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:39,599
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean it sucks, there's no getting around it,

923
00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:40,519
you know, Richie Saunders.

924
00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 8: I think epitomizes everything that's good about college basketball.

925
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,639
Speaker 6: Hate that he's not out there with us.

926
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,679
Speaker 8: You know, texted him on the way to shoot around,

927
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,000
just you know, just thinking about him and missing him.

928
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:53,559
So but this is a resilient group, you know. I

929
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,639
just told the guys, you know, I've been doing this

930
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,519
for I don't know. I think this is my either

931
00:43:57,559 --> 00:43:59,719
twenty first or twenty second year in coaching. I never

932
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,320
had four guys get hurt for the season, you know.

933
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,960
So we're going through it, and that's that's part of

934
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,559
going through That's sports, you know, that's life. You hit adversity.

935
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:11,599
And so I'm proud of our guys for their effort

936
00:44:11,679 --> 00:44:14,119
tonight and their effort and practice the last couple of days.

937
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,440
We're trying to reinvent ourselves kind of on the fly,

938
00:44:18,519 --> 00:44:20,440
and I think there's a lot of good things that

939
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:23,719
happened tonight. You know, super disappointed we weren't able to

940
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,760
get to win, but you know, we gotta We got

941
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,599
a locker room that's not gonna go away. I can

942
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:28,960
tell you that right now. And that's gonna be a

943
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,599
dogfight every time you play BYU. And we're gonna we're

944
00:44:31,639 --> 00:44:33,519
gonna keep pounting that rock and then until it breaks,

945
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:34,239
and it will break for.

946
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: Us even.

947
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,639
Speaker 3: We're gonna keep on pounding that rock till it breaks.

948
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,920
How much optimism do you have hearing those words from

949
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,800
k Y Brett and then Ronnie.

950
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: That's the second time he said that.

951
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 5: By the way we heard him say it, I think

952
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,119
a week ago in media availability.

953
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how.

954
00:44:56,559 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how much I'm believing in it

955
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,320
because at this point I haven't been shown it.

956
00:45:02,559 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: But I will say that's a hell of a quote

957
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,840
to say, every.

958
00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 5: Time you play dB YU, it's going to be a dogfight.

959
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:11,880
And to his credit, b YU has yet to be

960
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,719
blown out this season. Now, sometimes they've basically had to

961
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,480
blow out and then push the lead. But this isn't

962
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:22,159
a team that ever has any quit in it, And to.

963
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,039
Speaker 2: That I respect.

964
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 5: And it's hard because I feel like everything negative we

965
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,280
say I have to qualify with. But they have four

966
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,440
to five season ending injuries, so you have to take

967
00:45:32,559 --> 00:45:34,639
some of it with a grain of salt. But at

968
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:37,559
the end of the day, I think you have to

969
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,119
adjust your expectations if you're a b YU fan. You

970
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,320
talked about earlier expectations that can be the killer or

971
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,360
the believer. This is a team that we expected to

972
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,840
go to a final four. Now, this is a team

973
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:54,159
that we didn't expect them, but we believed that they had.

974
00:45:57,199 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 3: What was the what was their floor to start the

975
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:05,039
season with every thing healthy, everything strong, first round tournament win.

976
00:46:05,639 --> 00:46:09,360
I feel like the floor was probably, yeah, probably a

977
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,159
round to thirty two. Yeah, right, that's kind of what

978
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,639
it felt like. Sure, I felt like the floor was

979
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,440
round to thirty two. Seedling was Final four.

980
00:46:16,599 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, So you have to adjust your expectations because the

981
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:23,480
team that you started the season with is not the

982
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:26,199
team you're currently looking at today. And if these were

983
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,440
just temporary injuries and you knew guys were coming back,

984
00:46:29,639 --> 00:46:32,360
then I think you could waffle a little bit and say, well,

985
00:46:32,519 --> 00:46:34,800
they could do this, but also you could do this.

986
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,280
It's hard because you want to live with the same expectations,

987
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:41,519
but you have a new team that you have to

988
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:44,719
set those for. And that's where it gets really tough.

989
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,039
As someone who watches this buoy basketball team.

990
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,199
Speaker 2: Without Richie, it was still the AJ and Rob Show.

991
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 3: Offensively, guys, do you have any concerns with the lack

992
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,039
of scoring elsewhere?

993
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:01,079
Speaker 8: Of course, you know I thought thought Move had some

994
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,280
nice plays. We were running some actions for him that

995
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,039
were advantageous. You know, Tyler and Alex got to come

996
00:47:07,079 --> 00:47:09,000
in and knock shots down. My Highland's got a knock

997
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,400
shots down. But you know, A J and Rob have

998
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,840
been our catalysts all year and will continue to be.

999
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,119
And you know, we'll try to continue to examine where

1000
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:19,559
we can get help other guys, put them in, put

1001
00:47:19,599 --> 00:47:20,880
them in positions where they can.

1002
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,519
Speaker 6: They can also be effective. But uh, it's just a

1003
00:47:23,559 --> 00:47:24,400
hand we're delt right.

1004
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,159
Speaker 3: Now, he mentioned Move, I actually saw My other silver

1005
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,960
lining in this game is probably Moo.

1006
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: I think he's trending in the right direction right now

1007
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:35,519
with more action.

1008
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:40,519
Speaker 3: Like I loved that final finish of his coming off

1009
00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:43,440
that that high screen, putting it on the on the

1010
00:47:44,119 --> 00:47:46,800
on the on the wood, and and just in finishing

1011
00:47:47,159 --> 00:47:52,159
versus a seven footer bro that was impressive in crunch time.

1012
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:55,960
That's a that's a massive bucket and it should have

1013
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,719
been an and one. It should have been an and one.

1014
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,159
They're letting him play whatever should have been an add one.

1015
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,880
I actually, I think it's a silver line to me.

1016
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,599
I I I saw some some good from Keva and

1017
00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:09,480
I saw some good from MoU It made me a

1018
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:12,960
little bit more optimistic, I'll be honest moving forward, How

1019
00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:15,119
do you get more out of Canard in these late

1020
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:16,840
game situations with Saunders being out?

1021
00:48:17,679 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I thought tonight, you know, we we

1022
00:48:19,519 --> 00:48:21,400
it was clear we were running stuff for him, you know,

1023
00:48:21,519 --> 00:48:24,239
which is uh, you know, I give him a lot

1024
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,000
of credit because in a lot of ways, you know,

1025
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:29,119
he was brought in here to do a role that

1026
00:48:29,639 --> 00:48:31,639
was a lot different than the role he had last year.

1027
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,039
You know, we were trying to use him as a

1028
00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:36,360
three and D kind of catch and shoot guy, and

1029
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:37,960
really he's got a lot more to offer than that.

1030
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:39,519
So in a lot of ways I've kind of you know,

1031
00:48:39,639 --> 00:48:43,000
held him hostage, and now he's uh, you know, he's

1032
00:48:43,039 --> 00:48:44,880
free to to make a lot more plays and we're

1033
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,400
gonna need every bit of it. I think the way

1034
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,519
he's handled things and has been good.

1035
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: And so.

1036
00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:53,199
Speaker 8: To answer your specific question, I just think is trying

1037
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,679
to run a few more things for him like we

1038
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:55,239
did tonight.

1039
00:48:57,199 --> 00:49:01,119
Speaker 2: There you go, that's k why discussing, Uh are you

1040
00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:03,400
guys at all? Are you guys more optimist about Canard

1041
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,760
and his role offensively? Now?

1042
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 3: That he's getting actually point blank looks and able to

1043
00:49:09,079 --> 00:49:10,920
do a little bit more than just pick and pop,

1044
00:49:11,079 --> 00:49:11,679
catch and shoot.

1045
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 5: I mean, if I see it, Yeah, I still haven't

1046
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:18,679
seen it yet, and I'm this far and honestly, like,

1047
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,400
even if I did see it, does that now make

1048
00:49:22,519 --> 00:49:23,639
this like I don't.

1049
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: Feel like that fixes all the issues?

1050
00:49:25,039 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1051
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 5: So again, I still need to see it, and even

1052
00:49:28,039 --> 00:49:31,119
if I do see it, I still have other questions

1053
00:49:31,159 --> 00:49:32,599
that are not Kennard Davis.

1054
00:49:33,119 --> 00:49:36,199
Speaker 3: Coach, Were you surprised how well they shot the three

1055
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,039
ball because they have so much strength in the pain

1056
00:49:39,199 --> 00:49:42,639
that's not necessarily their thing as of late in the season.

1057
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, look, we said that they were going

1058
00:49:45,639 --> 00:49:47,239
to have to make threes to beat us, and they

1059
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,159
did and so.

1060
00:49:50,039 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 6: And we want to make other guys beat us. You

1061
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,239
have to give del Orso credit.

1062
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 8: You know, he hasn't had a great year, and statistically

1063
00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:57,440
he shot the heck out of the ball tonight, so

1064
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,400
you have to give him credit.

1065
00:49:59,559 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 6: And was I surprised by it?

1066
00:50:03,039 --> 00:50:03,199
Speaker 2: Yes?

1067
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,119
Speaker 6: I was, Well, that's life.

1068
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 8: Shots go in and you got to keep competing and

1069
00:50:08,519 --> 00:50:10,400
and uh, you know, like I said, you just have

1070
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,639
to give their guys credit for stepping up and knocking

1071
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:13,000
them down.

1072
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,039
Speaker 3: Congratulations, UFA, you did it at the McHale Center. You

1073
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:21,639
hit a bunch of reeves you mentioned you did, uh,

1074
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,400
you did like a lot of things from your team

1075
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:23,920
last night.

1076
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 2: Can you expeund on.

1077
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,599
Speaker 6: That for sure? Just our attitude number one.

1078
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,199
Speaker 8: You know, you're playing against a storied program who's having

1079
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,400
a fantastic year. Obviously they were down guys too, but

1080
00:50:35,519 --> 00:50:37,320
you're in their house. We know how tough it is

1081
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,679
the player. You know, at least you know for me

1082
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,840
coming back my second time, it's a great venue. So

1083
00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:45,639
just our our our response, our our compete, our want

1084
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,800
to I thought was very high. You know, in a

1085
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,039
matter of two and a half days, we kind of upheaving,

1086
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:55,480
you know, upheaved our offense where we started doing things

1087
00:50:55,519 --> 00:50:57,079
we haven't done all year. And I thought some things

1088
00:50:57,119 --> 00:50:59,920
that we did tonight were executed extremely well. Just get

1089
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:03,000
in the situation we're in, so you know, those are

1090
00:51:03,079 --> 00:51:04,119
things that we'll look to build on.

1091
00:51:07,199 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, I do think there were some good things

1092
00:51:10,039 --> 00:51:14,000
last night. Look, there was times of optimism in my

1093
00:51:14,119 --> 00:51:17,320
heart and in my mind. Kevin, your thoughts on Arizona

1094
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,079
losing p JG toppings out. Your guy Richie Saunders is

1095
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,960
out little unusual in your opinion, what's going on in

1096
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:24,559
the Big Twelve.

1097
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's unusual.

1098
00:51:26,639 --> 00:51:29,679
Speaker 8: But I mean, you know, we've all followed and played

1099
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:32,119
sports our whole lives, and unfortunately, injuries are part of

1100
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:36,480
the game, so and so is adversity, and so you

1101
00:51:36,679 --> 00:51:38,599
just have to you have to figure it out and

1102
00:51:38,679 --> 00:51:41,440
you gotta find ways. And you know, I thought AJ

1103
00:51:41,639 --> 00:51:43,199
did a lot of good things to night trying to

1104
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,679
carry our group. You know, when you have guys go down,

1105
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,880
you know, like they had guys step up too right

1106
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,559
and and and to the top end point like Texas Texas,

1107
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:53,039
and I have to have guys step up, and.

1108
00:51:53,519 --> 00:51:56,599
Speaker 6: You know, unfortunately that's uh, you know, sports can be

1109
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:57,440
can be brutal.

1110
00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:00,199
Speaker 8: But but that being said, that being said, what one

1111
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,320
thing I do want to say quickly is just I've

1112
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,360
really appreciated like the brotherhood of the Big Twelve coaches.

1113
00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:08,880
You know, I got I got several really heartfelt texts

1114
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,320
from several of the head coaches in our league about Ritchie.

1115
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,880
I shot a few out myself to Texas Tech and

1116
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:16,599
just really.

1117
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 6: Appreciate like the just the brotherhood. It's pretty cool.

1118
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,199
Speaker 3: A band of brothers in the Big Twelve. If you

1119
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,960
will your thoughts on those comments, Brett I was bringing

1120
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:28,280
the hammer.

1121
00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1122
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,679
Speaker 5: So when I tease at the beginning of the show

1123
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,480
that that was one of the worst questions I'd ever heard,

1124
00:52:32,559 --> 00:52:34,159
that was the one I as a frank two. Now,

1125
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,360
what I will say is I want to give a

1126
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,159
lot of credits Kevin Young for not taking it as

1127
00:52:39,159 --> 00:52:40,480
a dumb question, and I want to give him a

1128
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,639
lot of credit for turning a not great question into

1129
00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:46,239
a really positive answer with saying like, hey man, everybody

1130
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,960
has reached out to me, all these coaches, the band

1131
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,800
of brothers here in the Big twelve's incredible. I want

1132
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,440
to give Kevin Young credit for that. But let me

1133
00:52:52,639 --> 00:52:55,239
just everyone who's listening. If I were to ask you,

1134
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,320
as a head coach in the Big Twelve, hey man,

1135
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,800
everybody's getting injured season ending injuries. What do you think's

1136
00:53:03,199 --> 00:53:07,000
going on there? You think that's unusual? What conclusion could

1137
00:53:07,039 --> 00:53:10,960
you possibly come to? Yeah, man, there's just this conspiracy

1138
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,119
among the Big Twelve conference. There's this weird drink like like,

1139
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,800
I don't I don't know what connection you could draw

1140
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,320
to say, oh, that's why so and so's injured? That's

1141
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,920
why so and so's injured because the Big Twelve is

1142
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,440
like I think the.

1143
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 3: Better question would have been to focus on b YU,

1144
00:53:25,159 --> 00:53:28,000
like why is it that BYU has five season suries?

1145
00:53:28,159 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 5: And that, to me, you has been asked yet I

1146
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,119
don't I bet it hasn't that to me could actually

1147
00:53:35,159 --> 00:53:35,840
speak to is.

1148
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,079
Speaker 3: It a strength and conditioning issue? Is a nutrition issue?

1149
00:53:38,599 --> 00:53:42,360
It's something that's occurring, pregame, what's going on? How is

1150
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,760
Kevin Young supposed to speak to? Why Coop and JT

1151
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:46,719
Toppin are injured?

1152
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,559
Speaker 6: What? Oh?

1153
00:53:48,639 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, there's a substation at Big twelve headquarters and

1154
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,559
when we all go there, we all contract this virus

1155
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:56,480
and that's why all Like what could he possibly have

1156
00:53:56,639 --> 00:53:59,119
given you as an answer that would have popped and

1157
00:53:59,199 --> 00:54:00,719
make you been like, yeah, man, I'm the one who

1158
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:01,079
asked that.

1159
00:54:01,639 --> 00:54:03,519
Speaker 2: I just think that was a really dumb question.

1160
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:04,199
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1161
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,599
Speaker 3: I like I like the criticism from hammer time sometimes.

1162
00:54:08,599 --> 00:54:12,639
I love it when he gets constructions constructively critical.

1163
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,039
Speaker 2: In fact, it's my favorite bread. In fact, I just

1164
00:54:17,679 --> 00:54:18,920
again like I.

1165
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 5: When you learn, when you do sideline, you learn to

1166
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,800
ask good questions because if you and I was interviewing

1167
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,000
Amber Whiting when I first started. And Amber Whiting is

1168
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:31,760
not a woman who like she's She's very straightforward. If

1169
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,079
you ask a dumb question, she's not gonna be rude,

1170
00:54:34,119 --> 00:54:35,880
but she's not gonna like make it up for you.

1171
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,960
Kevin Young turned that bad question into a good answer,

1172
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,880
and I just think as media, as media professionals, we

1173
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,960
need to do better about asking good questions. That was

1174
00:54:46,039 --> 00:54:48,320
the one thing when Spencer Linton was training me to

1175
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,119
be a sideline reporter. That was the thing he drilled

1176
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,000
and drilled the wax on mister Yadi. It was ask

1177
00:54:55,079 --> 00:54:58,280
good questions. And and every day after after every game,

1178
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,320
I called the Spencer Linton. We would say there for

1179
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,320
thirty minutes and talk about the questions and why I

1180
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,960
asked this question and whether and I sometimes I thought it.

1181
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,280
Speaker 2: Was Spencer would say that was a stupid question. He'd

1182
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,880
be like, why are you even doing? You're an idiot.

1183
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 5: I could give give up, I could give a rat

1184
00:55:12,159 --> 00:55:14,039
about what the other team's student section.

1185
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 2: Thanks Bratt so so yeah, I think that was a

1186
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:17,440
dumb question.

1187
00:55:17,559 --> 00:55:19,639
Speaker 5: But good on Kevin Young for being patient, not being

1188
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,800
mick Ronan, and forgiving a shout out to the.

1189
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: Rest of the Big twelve.

1190
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: Coach, I've never in my entire media career ever asked

1191
00:55:26,039 --> 00:55:28,639
a stupid question. Yes, some of them are just amazing,

1192
00:55:29,679 --> 00:55:34,159
just on point bat one thousand, imperfect in everything.

1193
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 4: Oh man, look, I'm invincible now because I asked how

1194
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,159
Whittingham been the perfect question? So I have a leeway

1195
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,119
forever if I ever asked a dumb question because I

1196
00:55:44,199 --> 00:55:44,400
got that.

1197
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,599
Speaker 2: You can hang your hat on that one for a

1198
00:55:46,679 --> 00:55:48,599
long time. Are you talking about your your your Kyle

1199
00:55:48,599 --> 00:55:51,440
Whittingham questions? I owe it to you. But I'm the

1200
00:55:51,519 --> 00:55:53,880
goat now I can. I can ask whatever dumb question,

1201
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,480
like what type of what type of feedback have you

1202
00:55:57,559 --> 00:55:58,519
gotten about that question?

1203
00:55:58,559 --> 00:55:58,679
Speaker 3: Oh?

1204
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 2: Everybody loved it. Okay, Look, I gotta be very careful

1205
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,159
what I say. I'll just say this. I like to

1206
00:56:03,199 --> 00:56:03,920
tease the fans.

1207
00:56:04,519 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 4: I received information for someone close to the program saying, bro,

1208
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,360
you the goat for asking that question.

1209
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 2: Close quote. That's all I'm someone close to b y you.

1210
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:14,920
That's all.

1211
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 4: I've gotta say that, very close to the program. They said,

1212
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,199
you're the goat for asking that question.

1213
00:56:19,679 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 2: Leave it?

1214
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 4: They say, is this this is your voice at it? Yeah,

1215
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,840
it's you yeah you would ask that. Noah, you so,

1216
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,039
but but there you go. But then you know you

1217
00:56:27,079 --> 00:56:29,880
don't ask dumb questions. You asked Mark Pope sometimes about

1218
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,559
Trey Stewart not check into a ball game without trying

1219
00:56:32,559 --> 00:56:34,760
to do it, and all your colleagues say, Ron, do better,

1220
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:35,599
don't ask that question.

1221
00:56:35,639 --> 00:56:39,639
Speaker 2: Asked it an oppressor? All right? So that all follow

1222
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,800
that the person that that that gave you love on that?

1223
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:47,880
Did you say? Actually, Ben scripted that out for me?

1224
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:56,679
I did, yeah, absolutely, yeah, all right, we live died,

1225
00:56:57,159 --> 00:56:59,840
we live and die. I just said, I you say

1226
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,039
you script of the question? Did I not say that before?

1227
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,599
God said? Did you respond that way? Right?

1228
00:57:04,679 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 8: Oh?

1229
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:05,079
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1230
00:57:05,119 --> 00:57:05,559
Speaker 10: You know me?

1231
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 2: I get bet and no question, no, no, no, And

1232
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,719
I said, I I like to ask on his questions.

1233
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,599
Speaker 4: But I said, Ben and I chatted about it for

1234
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,679
like fifteen minutes and then and then I really told him.

1235
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,239
I said, I gotta stop talking because I don't reveal

1236
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,320
too much, but I'll tell you A been in private.

1237
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,559
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was it was funny. That's awesome, man,

1238
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,119
it was a good it was a good question. We

1239
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,000
we handled that quite judiciously.

1240
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,679
Speaker 3: Ad Let's get in a couple of sound byes here

1241
00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:33,800
a j How do you balance scoring and playmaking for others,

1242
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,159
especially as you're ending the season with the NCAA tournament

1243
00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:37,719
around the corner.

1244
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,039
Speaker 10: I'm a natural playmaker. I believe I grew up actually

1245
00:57:42,119 --> 00:57:44,639
like playing the point, so it comes pretty natural to me.

1246
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,440
Just you know, just learning how to do it quicker.

1247
00:57:46,519 --> 00:57:49,119
Now on at the next level. One guys, yoble me.

1248
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:50,840
Just try to get off a quicker so guys and

1249
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,559
get easier shots, and the just spread it out from

1250
00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:52,920
all of us.

1251
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 3: By the way, I was talking about the h the

1252
00:57:56,519 --> 00:57:59,440
season ending injuries. My guy, your bloodshe Utah protected film.

1253
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,800
Shout out to you our protective films. I utilized the

1254
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,360
Crital coupon Kodet fifteen percent off your car wrapped your

1255
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:10,079
chrome Deleite or your window tens. Maybe basketball needs a

1256
00:58:10,239 --> 00:58:12,639
doctor Skyler Maine, he said, Now, doctor Skyler Maine. His

1257
00:58:12,719 --> 00:58:17,079
background is physical therapy, uh and also human performance. He

1258
00:58:17,239 --> 00:58:22,960
was training guys at his facility for protas and combines

1259
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,119
and off seasons, trying to maximize their athletic ability, range

1260
00:58:27,159 --> 00:58:33,239
of motion, forceouth's output, pliability, elasticity. You know, he was

1261
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,079
really a game changer in that field nights with BYU

1262
00:58:36,239 --> 00:58:38,559
brought him in. Killane was like, I need this guy.

1263
00:58:38,679 --> 00:58:41,800
I want this guy, got him in and now he's

1264
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,719
part of the bou football program.

1265
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 2: You wonder is there a gap there? What's going on there? Now?

1266
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,599
Speaker 3: K why has built a robust I mean their strength,

1267
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:55,639
the conditioning coaches Milwaukee Bucks coach right, I mean their

1268
00:58:55,719 --> 00:58:58,360
nutritionists is from the Phoenix Suns and they got a

1269
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,599
great athletic training staff. But you wonder, like, okay, well

1270
00:59:00,639 --> 00:59:05,239
maybe we need to implement that director over human Performance

1271
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:06,119
and physical.

1272
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 2: Therapy titled as well.

1273
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,159
Speaker 3: We'll see if they they acquire a doctor Skyler Maine

1274
00:59:12,159 --> 00:59:13,760
type in the off season.

1275
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: Now, last couple of things here before we go to break.

1276
00:59:17,199 --> 00:59:20,199
Speaker 3: Does the prospect of changing the lineups the rest of

1277
00:59:20,239 --> 00:59:23,239
your way give you optimism with the tough slate the rest.

1278
00:59:23,079 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 2: Of the way?

1279
00:59:24,599 --> 00:59:26,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, it does give me optimism because I thought our

1280
00:59:26,719 --> 00:59:29,800
execution I was. I was pleasantly surprised at how well

1281
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,079
we executed some of the new stuff we tried. But look, man,

1282
00:59:33,119 --> 00:59:35,760
everything's on the table, you know not. And I won't

1283
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,719
sit here make it story time, but like this is

1284
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,599
something I'm a lot very used to. I got a

1285
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:44,280
coach in the minor least for nine years. You know,

1286
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,119
I've had I had two of my best players called

1287
00:59:46,199 --> 00:59:48,039
up right before a game before when I was a

1288
00:59:48,119 --> 00:59:48,840
coach in that league.

1289
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 6: And you gotta you have to reinvent yourself.

1290
00:59:51,119 --> 00:59:53,199
Speaker 8: You have to keep things really simple when you're going

1291
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,480
through that, and uh, and then you got to rely

1292
00:59:55,639 --> 00:59:58,280
on talented guys like AJ and Rob to to have

1293
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,039
an understanding of what the kind of the new things.

1294
01:00:01,199 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 6: Are and why you're doing them and to go out

1295
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,239
and be able to produce.

1296
01:00:06,159 --> 01:00:10,679
Speaker 3: So Mahilo got the start. I don't know if that's

1297
01:00:10,719 --> 01:00:15,519
the answer. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, But yeah, man,

1298
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:18,440
it's uh what he got, pulled what six seven minutes

1299
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,920
into the first half. But Mihilo he was ineffective. Like,

1300
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:25,119
I don't even know how good Mohilo was defensively. So

1301
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,840
I think kid knows his team and he doesn't have

1302
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,480
much confidence in any of them. He doesn't have much

1303
01:00:33,519 --> 01:00:35,719
confidence in any of the guys coming off the bench,

1304
01:00:36,199 --> 01:00:38,960
any of the role players. Right now, he has trust

1305
01:00:39,039 --> 01:00:45,679
and AJ, Rob and Canard and it's it's obvious, and

1306
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,039
I think he's showing like he wants Keba to get

1307
01:00:48,039 --> 01:00:49,639
more minutes, and he just wants him to be healthy.

1308
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,280
Like and Keva showed like he can be a guy.

1309
01:00:52,199 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 2: He can be a dude. He's just he's just limited.

1310
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:54,840
He's just very limited.

1311
01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:00,599
Speaker 3: So he doesn't He's got three guys that he loves,

1312
01:01:01,519 --> 01:01:04,199
a fourth that he would love if he was healthy,

1313
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,800
and then nobody else that he trusts. He doesn't trust

1314
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,480
anybody else besides.

1315
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,599
Speaker 2: Those four guys. That's it.

1316
01:01:13,199 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: Tell me I'm wrong. Who else does he actually like

1317
01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:21,400
on his roster? He's over there looking at Justin. He's like, look,

1318
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,119
I don't know how all the strengthing decid. I don't

1319
01:01:24,119 --> 01:01:26,039
know how all my best players got injured. My support

1320
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,199
players got injured. But you know they're the rest of

1321
01:01:30,239 --> 01:01:31,360
this team is boo boo.

1322
01:01:32,679 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna plead the fifth on this one. I'm gonna

1323
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,639
plead the fifth because I I yeah, I'm pleading the

1324
01:01:38,679 --> 01:01:40,760
fifth on this one. He doesn't like any of his

1325
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:48,079
is his support uh players, I guess's bench.

1326
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,599
Speaker 3: Anyway, Kepa was more impactful silver lining here down the stretch.

1327
01:01:52,679 --> 01:01:55,840
How big was this uh this game for him getting

1328
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:56,760
back into the swing of things.

1329
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 8: That's a fantastic point. I think it would be huge.

1330
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,400
You know, he's a guy, you know, he's going through

1331
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,440
a lot. You know, he's had some injuries, he's had

1332
01:02:06,519 --> 01:02:08,320
some stuff going on, and for him to kind of

1333
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,239
battle through it, I thought he just you know, lost

1334
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:11,719
himself in the game tonight.

1335
01:02:11,519 --> 01:02:12,079
Speaker 6: Which was good.

1336
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 8: Made some huge plays that were very Caba esque that

1337
01:02:16,519 --> 01:02:18,360
we're used to, you know, and we're gonna we need

1338
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,599
every bit of that. He's a he's a big time competitor, competitor,

1339
01:02:21,719 --> 01:02:23,639
beautiful young man. And I was happy that he was

1340
01:02:23,679 --> 01:02:28,079
able to have some success tonight, and I really hope

1341
01:02:28,119 --> 01:02:30,079
to your question that it is a springboard for him

1342
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:30,960
for the rest of the season.

1343
01:02:33,079 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that was my takeaway through watching it.

1344
01:02:36,119 --> 01:02:39,760
I was like, that's Cape, that's capa. Didn't he have

1345
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,440
like four block shots four block shots. He had a

1346
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,119
couple of putbacks where he just rim rocked. It just

1347
01:02:46,199 --> 01:02:50,360
looked fantastic there. If he could hit free throws and

1348
01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:57,320
if he had any like a a semblance something that

1349
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,480
would resemble a back to the basket offensive game, even

1350
01:03:01,519 --> 01:03:06,360
if he every time, even if every time he got

1351
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,519
the ball in the low post he just just faced

1352
01:03:10,639 --> 01:03:13,880
up and had a jab step and then tried to

1353
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,480
get to the rim and put like and put it

1354
01:03:15,599 --> 01:03:17,360
up there like. He could probably get to the free

1355
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,559
throw line a bunch that little jab. You know that

1356
01:03:19,679 --> 01:03:23,760
because he's got twitch and shake. That's one thing if

1357
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,920
I had one thing that I would have worked on him,

1358
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,880
if I was if I was the developer of talent

1359
01:03:29,039 --> 01:03:32,400
at Byu, I would have worked on his back to

1360
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,280
the basket game. But it was not back to the basket.

1361
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,320
He would literally get back to the basket and then

1362
01:03:36,639 --> 01:03:41,280
front up, face up. Every single time that little swing

1363
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:42,119
leg comes out.

1364
01:03:43,039 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 8: Jab.

1365
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,119
Speaker 3: You either go baseline or you take it into the

1366
01:03:46,239 --> 01:03:49,199
paint and you you try to get as close to

1367
01:03:49,199 --> 01:03:51,840
the rim as possible. Elevate, be an athlete, be bigger, stronger,

1368
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,079
and faster than in those guys, try to get fouled

1369
01:03:54,119 --> 01:03:54,559
and put it in.

1370
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 2: I'd be fine with that. That's all.

1371
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,119
Speaker 3: That's all I need from Kampa, That's all I would need.

1372
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,000
Give me that Blake Griffin front facing type of game.

1373
01:04:02,239 --> 01:04:04,000
He doesn't even have to You don't have to have

1374
01:04:04,159 --> 01:04:07,199
that that that you know, that little uh jump hook

1375
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:08,280
or none of that stuff.

1376
01:04:08,559 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 2: None of it. We'll go to break, don't go anywhere.

1377
01:04:12,039 --> 01:04:12,880
Let's talk stats.

1378
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 3: On the flip side with Blaine Anderson NFLP, a certified

1379
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,239
financial planner representing Vander Rob we'll get into some stats
