Speaker 1: Let's first post, Welcome in the five foot ten, one

44
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,599
hundred and seventy five pound baller shot call out.

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: Let's welcome to Ronald the three man we were to.

46
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:04,599
Speaker 5: The show was it, Ronnie Man, We're gonna have to

47
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,000
get me reevaluated for some weight man one hundred and

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,000
seventy five pounds.

49
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: I wish I still had that.

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,439
Speaker 2: Just so everybody knows. I looked up Ronnie's extra mural sports.

51
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 5: Rocks five nine and does not say five to ten

52
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:21,240
five to tend they must add an extra inch bean

53
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,080
because I wrote in the paper five nine, because you

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,719
give yourself two inches, but I am not five tens

55
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:26,960
and they gave you a third.

56
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:28,759
Speaker 4: I don't get literly like my last name.

my height and wait for the show, what I would

61
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:40,919

65
00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:50,520
and eighty pounds.

66
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:52,479
Speaker 2: That's what I'm rolling with. That's what I'm rolling with

67
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,319
on the ESP and the fan Ross I love it.

Speaker 2: You see? Uh you see Riverside. You see Riverside.

Speaker 7: Koogs went out and spanked them. They they got eleven

83
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,800
runs on sixteen hits. Pitching was just awesome. Uh yesterday,

84
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:38,919
pitching staff, everyone came in through strikes.

85
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: They look good. They really good. Yeah. But that lineup,

86
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,280
that lineup looks solid.

87
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:48,159
Speaker 1: So they just they just followed in the footsteps.

88
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,479
Speaker 2: That's it. Who were you playing for at the time?

ESPN the fans starting line up. We're gonna get into

96
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,560
some Kevin Young media availabilities commentary. See what he had

97
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,560
to say about this Cougar basketball team and his preparation

98
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,199
for UCF A few nuggets there that you want to

99
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:19,560
tune in for, don't miss it. We'll get into a

100
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,560
few Cougar bykees as well. Tim Fanning joined by Sports Nation.

101
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:29,160
Tim Fanning, as we've discussed, has and Ronald caught up

102
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,800
with Tim Fanning prior to one of the games and

103
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,360
when was this? Which game did you interview Tim Fanny.

104
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: As the startup conference playing the Kansas State game?

105
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,079
Speaker 1: Kansas State game, So the Cougar Sports Basketball pre game

106
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,079
show with Ronald the three man weaver, and he said

107
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,120
in essence that he is has taken over the defense,

108
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,800
the defense.

109
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: Did we see an improvement?

110
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,319
Speaker 1: Have we seen an improvement over the last four games

111
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:53,279
from Bui's defense?

112
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: Have we seeing an improvement? Are we getting better?

113
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if i'd say the last four games,

114
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,639
but I would absolutely a million percent say the Iowa

115
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:01,160
State game.

116
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: And remember we struggled defensively last year when Will Void

117
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:05,279
was the DC.

118
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: And so Tim has taking over those defensive.

119
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,879
Speaker 1: Calls along with Ky overseeing that. And you have to wonder,

120
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,639
is b what you a better defensive team this year

121
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,600
than they were last year.

122
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,759
Speaker 2: What you know, what's funny.

123
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 6: I was doing the numbers actually the other day, comparing

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,199
like how good. So for context, the number one scoring

125
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,240
team in the Big Twelve right now is Arizona at

126
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,199
eighty seven points per game.

127
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: But what's funny is if you go back.

128
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 6: A year, the number one scoring offense in the Big

129
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Twelve was also Arizona, but it was eighty two points

130
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,639
per game. So everyone in the Big Twelve is scoring

131
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,000
more this year than they were last year. So your

132
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,720
defense is not worth as much last year as it

133
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,000
was this year.

134
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this question out, is by you a

135
00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:01,879
better team this year than they were last year? And

136
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,120
you have a you have a certain amount of well yeah,

137
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800
but no, but I know, but like talent wise, I mean,

138
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,439
that doesn't necessarily give me a whole lot of like

139
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,160
give me an objective data point, right that that shows

140
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:18,240
that B ways better defensively, And you can only lean

141
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:24,000
on Ken Palm typically or even Evan Biakawa's defensive statistics.

142
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,160
I mean, you can look at some of the traditional

143
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,120
points per game given up right and in other things

144
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:33,639
like that, but steals per game, blocks per game, but

145
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,279
you need kind of an overarching analytic to tell you

146
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:40,399
whether or not they've actually improved or not.

147
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Just better as a whole or just better defensively. Are

148
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,480
they just better defensively? Oh?

149
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: That I don't know, because that's been the biggest gripe

150
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360
amongst Cougar fans, Like defensively we stink, which is not

151
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:55,399
good even. I mean, k Why went on record and

152
00:06:55,439 --> 00:07:01,079
said things like this defensive effort is atrocious, and I

153
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,040
mean he was not all that kind to the defense.

154
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,519
He was not kind to his team regarding their defensive effort.

155
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: Now he was, I mean, he wasn't in a great

156
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:12,920
mood at all now as a whole.

157
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 6: Following he said, you're being too nice to these guys

158
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,560
when they were talking about I think it was Kemma

159
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:22,000
and abdullah Man. So yeah, he was clearly not happy

160
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,360
with the defense. The good news is defense showed up

161
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,000
against Iowa State big time.

162
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

163
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,959
Speaker 1: Has Bieli's defense one of my key questions that has

164
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,839
deep Beelius defense. We're getting Nindel march here. I mean,

165
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:34,839
we're right around the corner here. March madness is about

166
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:41,360
to begin. Has Bieli's defense improved, worsened, or stayed the

167
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,279
same Okay, I want you to search, ponder, and prey

168
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:48,120
on that one. Okay, just think about it as we collaborate,

169
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,560
and then we'll pontificate and we will listen to each

170
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,360
other and get some feedback from Cougarnation as well. So

171
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,399
Tim Fanning, we're gonna get into the Cougar Bytes three

172
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
or five year Blach former B White receiver interview. You're

173
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,360
talking some ball with some college football, spring ball conversations,

174
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,800
et cetera. Kevin Reynolds, uh in a Cougar beat. He

175
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,639
is no longer covering the Cougar beat, but we're gonna celebrate.

176
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,959
We're gonna give him a little bone vyage as he

177
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,160
covers the Utah Jazz for the Salt Lake Tribune. So,

178
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,759
Kevin Reynolds, I don't know if there's ever been a

179
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:22,879
Salt Lake Tribune.

180
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: Has there been?

181
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,639
Speaker 1: I feel like there was maybe one before Kevin Reynolds

182
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,600
beat writer that like BYU fans tolerated.

183
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,879
Speaker 2: Wait, you're saying, buou fans, they don't love the news.

184
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,679
To me, I didn't grow up here, so that's that

185
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,879
that is just news to me.

186
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: I had no anyway, Like I felt like they had

187
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:45,279
a love hate relationship.

188
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,159
Speaker 2: With Kevin, so we love him.

189
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,759
Speaker 6: Kevin asked the tough questions like say what you will

190
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,200
about Kevin. We obviously love him here, but like Kevin

191
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,360
was not afraid to ask a question that some people

192
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,120
might not like.

193
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: He did the big Jay journalist them.

194
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what Jay Drew used to do before

195
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:06,600
he joined the Deseret News. You know, then you have

196
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:09,000
to kind of once you get into a new role.

197
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:12,440
I mean we got to play cader bosses right, make

198
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,879
sure that they're happy, healthy, and straws their bosses as well. Anyway,

199
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,440
I love Kevin Reynolds. I like uh, I like having

200
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,519
I liked having him at the the the Q and

201
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,480

274
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,679
get into a few sound bites K why addressed the

275
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,000
media yesterday. We got plenty of sound to get into

276
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,399
and read between the lines with. Let's start it off.

277
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,240
What's the key to continue moving forward? After a big

278
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:17,480
win over Iowa State yeah.

279
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 9: I just talked to the guys about that. I just

280
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:24,120
think understanding the excuse me, the why behind that was

281
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,039
why we were able to win that game. You know,

282
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,360
in the bottom line, as we played, we executed for

283
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,639
forty minutes and we played extremely hard, and so I

284
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:38,399
think our guys understand, you know, how important that win was.

285
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,080
And I think that just the you know of a smart,

286
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,519
smart group of guys, I think they understand just how

287
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,279
important it is to you know, that time of year,

288
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:49,519
you know, to turn things up, and so you know,

289
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,320
you got a UCF team coming in that's you know,

290
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,240
tied with us in the standings. I think everybody understands,

291
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,240
you know, there's there's no time to wait around and

292
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,919
to build on what we did.

293
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 2: No time to wait around.

294
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: He's trying to communicate to his team, you know, certain messages,

295
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:12,600
certain mantras, certain mindsets, and I think k Why is

296
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,399
obviously a very very good coach.

297
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: Has he struggled.

298
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,759
Speaker 1: Do you think with this particular I would call this

299
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:27,919
a mercenary roster more so than BYU has maybe ever experienced,

300
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,480
especially now that you've had so many season ending injuries.

301
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:36,480
It's less you know, BYU like tenure and most teams

302
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,759
are this way, although the high level teams, I mean,

303
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:40,320
I don't know how many new faces were on U

304
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,120
of A. Houston seemed to have some good continuity with

305
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:47,000
Calvin Samson and the squad. I don't know how much

306
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,600
turnover there was with Kansas, but it seems like there's

307
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:53,720
a lot more mercenary acquisitions than there has ever been.

308
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:58,960
Has he been able to manage that appropriately in this

309
00:14:59,039 --> 00:14:59,399
new era?

310
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Do you think this year in particular?

311
00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 6: I realized this is a cop out, but I do

312
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:11,000
think it's always worth mentioning. Kevin Young got dealt to

313
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,679
bad hand this season with the four season ending injuries

314
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,000
that he's dealing with. So like, even guys that you

315
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,080
do bring in your losing guys that you would have kept,

316
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,240
guys that would have kept continuity in your Dawson Baker's

317
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,440
not there anymore to kind of keep the culture and everything,

318
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:31,600
and so you don't really I mean, who does Kevin

319
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:35,080
Young have in the locker room who's like a Kevin

320
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:37,240
Young guy? Given them it's only been here for two years,

321
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:40,879
it probably would have been Dawson Baker because everybody else

322
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,679
is gone, and obviously everybody's a Kevin young guy. Aj

323
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,639
we know is a big Kevin young guy, But as

324
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:48,279
far as like guys who've been with him for more

325
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,840
than nine months, yeah, there isn't one who's starting on

326
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:55,720
the floor right now. I know Mihailo has been here,

327
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,919
but Mihailo has not been at BYU for as long

328
00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:01,759
as Dawson. So honestly, I think, all things considered, Kevin

329
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:05,399
Young's done a pretty good job, especially when you consider

330
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,039
like we're not talking about stumbling in the WCC, We're

331
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:16,840
not talking about stumbling in the Miami Ohio Valley Mountain Conference,

332
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:21,320
like we're talking about potentially stumbling in the Big twelve Conference,

333
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,159
which is about as elite as it gets. And the

334
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,600
fact that you could drop four straight and get back

335
00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:31,120
on track by beating a team that the NCAA committee

336
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,240
told you would be a one seed in the tournament

337
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,480
speaks volumes that this guy is learning how to adjust,

338
00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:37,799
which we saw him do last year.

339
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Right.

340
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:40,919
Speaker 6: We had to adjust mid season because even though it

341
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,080
wasn't an injury situation, some of the things that had

342
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,759
worked earlier in the season weren't working towards the end

343
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:48,279
of the season.

344
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,799
Speaker 2: So he adjus, he changed, he figured things out and.

345
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 6: We've heard him say that in media villabity, like hey, Canard,

346
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,639
having us plug him in to be a catch and

347
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:01,320
shoe guy, that's not what makes Canard the best version

348
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:01,879
of Canard.

349
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: And we've had to adjust that. And so was Kevin

350
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,400
Young perfect all season?

351
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 6: No, But to me, if you're someone who can learn

352
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:12,279
to adjust to improve, that to me speaks volumes.

353
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,759
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the sound here with Ky addressing

354
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:21,839
the media yesterday, it's it's been interesting to kind of

355
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,400
follow this team and its progress and how they're needing

356
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,400
to adapt. But it it seems similar. Let me real quick,

357
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,799
remember how we struggled last year with this BAU basketball team.

358
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:37,880
That last year's basketball team, we didn't think they'd go far.

359
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,400
In March we were talking about the same thing. Now

360
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,480
they went on a nine game winning streak. Remember nine

361
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,920
game winning It was fantastic. And you're looking at the

362
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,279
remaining schedule for BAU basketball. Are we just a little

363
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,400
bit later to the crescendo?

364
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: Right? You wonder is what I wonder if this team, despite.

365
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,759
Speaker 1: All the injuries, man, could they go on a.

366
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: Six game winning streak? Here?

367
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: Do you think they could? And take into account they

368
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200
beat Baylor. They beat Colorado prior to that, and they

369
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:17,079
lost to U of A. So you look at that,

370
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,599
you're like, wait, out of their last ten, could they

371
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,759
go could they go nine and one, which would be

372
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,799
somewhat akin to what they did at the end of

373
00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:28,240
the season.

374
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:30,079
Speaker 2: Is what I'm getting at. Last year, do you.

375
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: Remember having twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, they won

376
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,359
nine straight before losing to Houston, the number two team

377
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,079
in the nation. If they lose one game to U

378
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,240
of A, you may be the number one team in

379
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:50,319
the nation in their last ten. So what I'm saying is,

380
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,440
like we talked about this and like the lead up

381
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,680
to to the finality of the season, when we're talking

382
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,640
about these these final nine ten games, it looks like

383
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,640
they may be on trajectory. They played their best game

384
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,279
versus Iowa State. We were in a little bit incredules

385
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:09,359
because they didn't play all that wolversus Baylor, call rder,

386
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,920
but they got to win, and then they lost Arizona

387
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,519
and not looking great, they looked okay, and then they

388
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:17,000
played their best game versus Iwa State. Anyway, something to

389
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:20,200
chew on as we go through this. So much k

390
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,079
why was made earlier in the year about slow starts.

391
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:26,960
What do you attribute the recent stronger starts too. From

392
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:27,880
this new group.

393
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:31,519
Speaker 9: I don't know if I would point, you know what

394
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,440
I'm gonna say directly to that, but I just I

395
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,359
think overall, man, you know, as a staff, I think

396
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,960
we're giving the guys a lot more clarity. I think

397
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,359
there's a lot less guessing. Not that they were guessing before,

398
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,559
so I shouldn't even say guests.

399
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,519
Speaker 2: I just think the clarity.

400
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:46,839
Speaker 9: I think the guys understand exactly what the plan is

401
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:49,640
on offense, exactly what the plan is on defense. I

402
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,480
think that's allowed the guys to come out and play

403
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:55,319
a little bit harder and freer to start games and

404
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,559
continue it.

405
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: Throughout the game.

406
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 9: So I think that's been a big, you know, a

407
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,480
big difference between what we've done the last few games

408
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,279
and what we were doing earlier on in the year.

409
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 1: And once again it's like, it's this stronger starts late

410
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:12,960
in the season.

411
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: What do we attribute that to?

412
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: Is it just k why, you know, peaking at the

413
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:24,599
right time, right, is it the team peaking at the

414
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,240
right time.

415
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,759
Speaker 2: It's just a part of the process. Playing your beds well.

416
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: Remember in seasons past as long as I've been around BYU,

417
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,799
and even prior you look at BYU under Steve Cleveland

418
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,640
and Dave bro it seems like they win early and

419
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,640
then kind of slow down leading up to March, and

420
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,200
they don't make runs in the tournament. Everybody else is

421
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,160
peaking in March, and they peaked earlier in the year.

422
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
They can't survive in advance. Is the reason why they've

423
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,839
gone to more NCAA tournaments than any other team without

424
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:58,759
seeing a Final four. They've gone to two Sweet sixteens

425
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:02,279
now and on e Lite eight and every once in

426
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,799
a while, I'm trying to think of how many round

427
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:06,680
of thirty twos they've seen, maybe three or four. Let

428
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,480
me double check on that and I'll get back to you.

429
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:13,079
But what do we attribute this to hammertime?

430
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 6: You know, it's so weird because you would have thought

431
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,000
more firepower, even if you don't play defense, gives you

432
00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:27,839
the ability to at least hang in there with the

433
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,400
likes of Arizona and Iowa State. Sure, but like I'm

434
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480
going through the play by play right now of Arizona

435
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,279
and Iowa State, and nine to thirty into the game,

436
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,480
it's sixteen eighteen Arizona on the road. Similar situation with

437
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:43,599
Iowa State, whereas early in Big Twelve play it was like,

438
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,559
I mean, they had twenty before you had ten, and

439
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:49,079
so you were kind of just hanging on for dear

440
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,000
life until you could get to the second half.

441
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:53,039
Speaker 2: And then you go and you look at the Arizona

442
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:54,000
in the Iowa State game.

443
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 6: You'll go, wait a minute, they didn't have Richie Saunders,

444
00:21:57,519 --> 00:21:59,960
they didn't have a guy to get them extra buckets,

445
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,319
they didn't have a guy to pull attention away from

446
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,839
Rob and AJ and again in that Iowas say game,

447
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:10,720
Rob didn't score that much. So I don't really know

448
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,599
that it's something that we can truly quantify. To me,

449
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,440
Kevin Young is more equipped to speak on that than

450
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,000
anybody else, So for him to say it's because they

451
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:25,119
have a better idea of the game plan and we've

452
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,400
made the game plan more clear to them, that makes

453
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,960
sense to me, because a big issue early in those

454
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,559
games was again a lack of defense, but they were

455
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:35,799
also turning the ball over and just kind of making

456
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,319
like stupid mistakes frankly, like just one or two that

457
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,000
I think threw them off mentally, and then they felt

458
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,240
like they were playing catch up they felt like, especially

459
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,920
in these last two games. And I gets they didn't

460
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,519
beat Arizona, but you can't tell me they didn't go

461
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,440
shot for shot with Arizona in that game, punch for

462
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:56,519
punch and then Iowa stay like they got on top

463
00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:59,880
and they never looked back. So to me, it has

464
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,359
to be what Kevin Young said, which is we've made

465
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,759
the game plan more clear.

466
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: And I think it also helps that like Mahailo's.

467
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 6: Playing better, Hadem is playing better, like some of the

468
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,359
guys that may not have played their best basketball early

469
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,599
in the season, they're doing other things outside of scoring

470
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,079
to make the scoring easier on those guys.

471
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's it's very interesting, and we

472
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:25,279
had teased it a little bit. I want to say,

473
00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:27,759
like in January we talked a little bit about it's like, hey,

474
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:28,160
are they.

475
00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 2: In a crescendo like they did last year?

476
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know how many people really believed it, right,

477
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,039
I don't know how many, especially with all the injuries.

478
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,799
So it's even more impressive to me that it seems

479
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,079
like I don't know if it's for certain.

480
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: As JT said yesterday.

481
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, you know once okay is great twice, I

482
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,640
feel a little bit better.

483
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,079
Speaker 2: Three times. Okay, that's a pattern.

484
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: If they win three games in a row here, playing

485
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,640
really good basketball, then you're like, Okay, this is the

486
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,839
exact same thing that Kay Why did, and it may

487
00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:57,680
be even more impressive considering all of the season ending

488
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,559
injuries that they've sustained. Now three, we all see what

489
00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:04,359
AJ does on the court when the spotlighters and on.

490
00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: How impressed have you been with him?

491
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 9: I've been very impressed. You know, he's a guy that

492
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,200
has a great personality. You know, he's he's friends with

493
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,960
a lot of guys off the court. You know, I

494
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:21,720
enjoy watching him, Him and Rob, you know, just be

495
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:25,680
able to you know, let their personality shine within the group,

496
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:27,519
you know.

497
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 2: You know, Aj is.

498
00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 9: Just a likable guy, you know, and I think his

499
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,400
teammates enjoy being around him.

500
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: You know. I do push him and Rob to try

501
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:34,920
to be.

502
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 9: More uh not just vocal leaders, but leaders by example.

503
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,559
And I think they've answered the call there and I'm

504
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:44,039
gonna continue to push him to do that.

505
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: We know how good AJ is and just how good

506
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:53,720
he's been all season long. In fact, statistically, let's talk

507
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,119
about stats.

508
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Batterwealth batterwealth dot com.

509
00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:02,039
Speaker 1: He's been he's been ridiculous good and ridiculously productive, and

510
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:06,480
he's a much more holistic. I mean, he showed every

511
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:09,359
facet of his game. We asked the poll of the

512
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,480
day yesterday, was you know what you're most impressed by

513
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:18,799
in that iowast game. His his his cardiovascular nature, just

514
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,279
being able to just run and do everything. His defensive

515
00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:27,559
lockdown ability is scoring, his efficiency, and then his distribution

516
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,160
and playmaking ability. And it was interesting, actually playmaking and

517
00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:35,079
defense is what came in one, two and one, so

518
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:39,000
like distribution was number two, and then the defense is

519
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,200
what BYU fans were most impressed by.

520
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting.

521
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: That that BYU fans were most impressed by his defense.

522
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,640
And by the way I put out another pole to day,

523
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,799
has BAU basketball defense improved, worsened or stayed the same

524
00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:55,720
from last year and right now worsened is leading?

525
00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:00,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would. I think I would, Well,

526
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,000
I know, yeah, And that's what I'm saying.

527
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to have a feeling about it.

528
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:07,640
It's another thing that's some objective data to and we'll

529
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,680
get to the objective data here momentarily.

530
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: But but AJ.

531
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that's in February, thirty point seven points

532
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,920
per game, seven point eight rebounds, five point seven that'ss

533
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,640
one point three steals, fifty four point six percent from

534
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,240
the field, forty three point eight percent from three point line.

535
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,640
That's two point three three pointers made per game.

536
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:31,279
Speaker 2: Pretty impressive. Did we expect him to average twenty five

537
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,160
points a game? Like?

538
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 6: We knew he was gonna be good, but like Cooper

539
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:36,599
Flagg had a great year last year, and do you

540
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,279
know what he averaged last year nineteen, so even he

541
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,480
was not in the twenty range AJ like and again.

542
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,319
Speaker 2: That's not what I said.

543
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: By the way, we said, you know, volume in productivity matters.

544
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,200
If if Byu doesn't go deep in the NCAA tournament,

545
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,000
which was still question marks how deep they go, then

546
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:58,839
he better have volume what would be considered the right productivity,

547
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,359
especially considering the supporting cast, right, especially considering the port

548
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,920
of gain day because Coopers had some good players around

549
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,200
him too, yes, one hundred percent and more more talent

550
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,200
than than is on Boa.

551
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: He didn't have to do as much as Aga has

552
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,920
to do. Per so we were trying to equate what

553
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,720
that would look like.

554
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:18,519
Speaker 1: And I think we we came to a conclusion of like, yeah,

555
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:22,319
low twenties would be nice, you know, that'd be really nice.

556
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,599
Speaker 2: But I mean, has he met the standard? Has he six?

557
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: Has he surpassed the standard that we set for him?

558
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Has he underperformed for that standard?

559
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 6: I think if I would have told you, hey, I

560
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,480
think AG is gonna average twenty five, you would have

561
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,920
been like, hey, buddy, I don't know if you understand this.

562
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,960
This isn't the NBA where guys go for It's like,

563
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,839
this is college basketball. Good college basketball players go for

564
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,359
like nineteen points. You realize that in AJ's last nine games,

565
00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:49,799
he's been under twenty points one time, and he had

566
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,880
seventeen that game, so it wasn't even bad. And again

567
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,480
that's including a thirty five piece, a twenty nine piece,

568
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,240
a thirty six of forty three, Like it is where

569
00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:02,279
they talk we talk about so much or we don't,

570
00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:06,440
but we hear so much about Oh, Darren Peterson makes

571
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,200
it look so easy, and he does, and he's really

572
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,519
good at it. But I don't think we give AJ,

573
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,400
or at least the national media doesn't give AJ enough

574
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,519
credit for just how good he is. Purely as a

575
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:22,000
scorer and then oh yeah, add all the other layers

576
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:22,559
to that cake.

577
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:24,319
Speaker 2: Amen to that.

578
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,599
Speaker 1: Let's get back. Let's go one more sound, one more sound. Bye,

579
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:31,079
here we go. Kevin, Actually, all right, let's go to break. Ronnie,

580
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,119
you're you're the boss. We're gonna go to break.

581
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 5: No, I just had a comment about the flag thing

582
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,319
to say that, you're right, I mean Coop okay, and

583
00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:40,319
this is look again being we talk about usage to

584
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,039
I said my monologue yesterday.

585
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: If you want to know, go listen to it.

586
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: You don't see a guy do this with the usage

587
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,319
in the turnover eate anyway, to the point of Cooper

588
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:51,119
flag Ben he had two other teammates that were drafted in.

589
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:54,119
Speaker 4: The top ten. Yeah, exactly, like stop like stop playing

590
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,319
with me.

591
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: Like, so when you want to talk about defense, which

592
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:58,960
I'll save that take for the next segment, I have

593
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:02,720
some stuff that's gonna bet like AJ is doing way

594
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:04,839
more with way less compared to all of these other

595
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,960
teams in the discussion.

596
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing great stuff. Let's go to break. We'll

597
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:10,599
get to more questions and polls on the flipside. More

Speaker 1: A couple of things here I want to get into

641
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,200
in the segment more ky sound continue to chime in

642
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,759
on that pole of day. Has BOU Basketball's defense improved,

643
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,079
worsened or stayed the same from last year? And worson

644
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,000
is still top of the top of the voters right

645
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,519
now forty six percent, thirty five percent saying improved, nineteen

646
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:54,000
percent saying stayed the same. I think there's a reaction

647
00:31:54,119 --> 00:31:58,200
emotionally to how obviously how BAU fans feel, and they

648
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,240
automatically think worsen. This is upset of BWA fans that

649
00:32:01,319 --> 00:32:05,960
always checked data before posting their poll, and those that

650
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:10,319
have checked data are voting on the improved segment right

651
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:13,519
Because Ronald, you whispered in my ear, you said, hey,

652
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:15,359
now what the data says?

653
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,039
Speaker 2: Now what the data says?

654
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:20,839
Speaker 1: It's not worse, It's actually better than it was last year,

655
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,880
per up to this point, per ken pop correct, correct?

656
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: You take a look at this?

657
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 5: And well, yeah, I did, and while I went and

658
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,880
I did the research and looked at the number. Because

659
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,480
when you asked me these questions, what do you always

660
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:31,160
tell me being you need to object the data points

661
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,039
to prove your point of your take. And I want

662
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:35,319
to mention this to people as well, because here's my

663
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,119
take on it, to just get it out the way.

664
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 4: First of all, the numbers are better. They are better defensively.

665
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,279
Speaker 5: They've also played better talent because of the talent on

666
00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:45,480
which they got. And this is no knock on the

667
00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:47,359
team last year, but were they playing the type of

668
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,519
talent until they got to the tournament? No, you weren't.

669
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,680
You didn't play Braydon Berry's. You didn't play a Coe Pete.

670
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,480
You didn't play a Darren Peterson.

671
00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: You didn't.

672
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:57,279
Speaker 5: So in the games of which they're two and six

673
00:32:57,319 --> 00:33:00,960
and ap top sixteen teams, yes, defense has not been good.

674
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,279
Speaker 4: But I mean, may I remind you.

675
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 5: That up until Texas Tech went on kind of like

676
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,319
a mini Alabama run that BYU was winning that game

677
00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:10,640
by nine and Rob Wright looked like the you know,

678
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,839
the Isaiah Thomas then from the Bad Boy Pistons of

679
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,079
taking over a game. I didn't hear fans then, but

680
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,720
oh it's like, yeah, so all the fans listening now

681
00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:21,359
that down with the podcast. I'm sorry for calling out

682
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,000
you have any jerk reaction, rightfully so not saying that

683
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,160
it's good, it's bad in those moments, but when they

684
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,480
lock in How about the game against Iowa State been

685
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:31,240
sixty nine points, so they gonna get credit for that.

686
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,559
How about the number one draft pick in my opinion,

687
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,839
that packed up the best player on the team to

688
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,759
send him home. Milan Mantelevision want nothing to do with

689
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:42,680
number three, he said, I'm good. So I just think

690
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,039
it is better. They're playing better opponents. They have not

691
00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:47,640
played defense well in those games. There have been stretches

692
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,440
of it, but overall this team is better defensively, no

693
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:52,400
doubt about it at all.

694
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are better.

695
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: And look after the NCAA tournament run, after the Sweet sixteen,

696
00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:02,839
the lack of closeouts and the Alabama just going off

697
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,319
they hit like four thousand and three point shots on us,

698
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,159
what was the reaction? We got to get better defensively,

699
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:11,519
and I think we have, even though it doesn't seem

700
00:34:11,559 --> 00:34:14,360
like we have in your feelings, Coubernation.

701
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

702
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 6: And the other issue is, like, go look at college

703
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:22,039
basketball as a whole. Everyone's scoring more points than they

704
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:25,960
did last year. Everybody has a freshman weapon more than

705
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,159
they did last year. Like, just objectively, we have more

706
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,559
points scored in college basketball than we did last year.

707
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:33,519
So if your only argument is man, it seems like

708
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:35,920
we're giving up a lot. That's true, but so is

709
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,039
everyone else in college basketball. See, you kind of have

710
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:41,280
to adjust for inflation, so to speak.

711
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: Get no doubt about it.

712
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the sound, Kay, Why Kevin Young

713
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,679
Chapman and on some of these these these poignant topics,

714
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:53,159
Kevin number four. Kevin, you mentioned being tied with UCF

715
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,320
in the standings as we prepped for this UCFGA. What

716
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,519
are your overall thoughts on the nights and the challenges

717
00:34:58,559 --> 00:34:59,039
they present.

718
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean what I see on tape is a

719
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,599
lot of really good one on one basketball players. I

720
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:06,599
think they're big and strong. They do a good job

721
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,320
of you know, going at matchups that they like, and

722
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,519
they you know, they get down, you know, to their spots,

723
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:15,079
whether that's you know, mid ranger to the basket, and

724
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:17,639
so you know, we'll have to do a good job

725
00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:19,760
with our one on one defense and be you know,

726
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,360
prideful in that, but also being able to make sure

727
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,519
we have good help and guard guard the ball with

728
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:30,039
five guys. But again, you know, they they I think

729
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:32,320
I and we understand what it is for them. I mean,

730
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,360
this is a great opportunity for them. To build up

731
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,480
their resume, and so I'm sure it's going to be

732
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,679
a very intense basketball game and our guys are are

733
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,480
you know, ready for that challenge.

734
00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:46,079
Speaker 1: A lot of one on one basketball players. You said,

735
00:35:46,639 --> 00:35:49,400
guys that can score, and we see that on ken Pom.

736
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,719
I mean, they're a I believe, almost the top twenty

737
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:59,639
five team in scoring efficiency per Ken pomp. Pretty impressive,

738
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,360
impressive team, and they were solid last year. By the way,

739
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,000
they were a solid team. They had their thirty five,

740
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,840
thirty fifth in offensive efficiency. So just hovering it outside,

741
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,320
just outside of the top twenty five, they're in the

742
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,840
top forty of college basketball, so plenty of talent there.

743
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,639
Speaker 6: You have something to say, Brett, No, I'm just going

744
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,320
over just their best wins in the season.

745
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:23,199
Speaker 2: Right now.

746
00:36:23,559 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 6: They haven't beat a ton of the best teams in

747
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,039
the Big Twelve. They have beat Kansas, and they have

748
00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:33,320
beat Texas Tech. They didn't play anyone non con wise,

749
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,320
that moves the needle for you. They're they're in a

750
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,280
I don't want to say a similar situation situation BYU,

751
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,960
but I think they're a lot closer to BYU than

752
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,400
what you would assume, because I think BYU fans.

753
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,159
Speaker 2: When you come into the.

754
00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 6: Season, you go, okay, so who are our easy wins

755
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,559
in the Big twelve. It's these guys, and it's these guys,

756
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,840
and it's always Colorado, even though I wasn't close win

757
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,360
this year, But like I think, UCF is always one

758
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,679
of those teams that BYU fans group into that's a

759
00:36:59,679 --> 00:37:00,719
easy on the schedule.

760
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,639
Speaker 2: This year, that's not this UCF team. There. They are

761
00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:07,599
by no means up there with Arizona and Houston.

762
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,519
Speaker 6: However, they beat Texas Tech and they beat Kansas. So

763
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,119
this is a UCF team that while you may think

764
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:19,840
this is last year's UCF team, it certainly is not.

765
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: Colorado, for instance, is sixty ninth and Ken Palm Baylor

766
00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:29,559
is forty eighth, UCF is forty nine, TCUs fiftieth. So

767
00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:33,400
you see all these these teams, West Virginia fifty ninth,

768
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,800
they're all there, Arizona State sixty fourth, in Ken Palm.

769
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,079
Speaker 2: So you get a feel a vibe.

770
00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, well, if Colorado can take you to

771
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:44,159
the brink and push into.

772
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,559
Speaker 2: OT, UCF can do that.

773
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 6: And more ucs tied with you in the Big twelph

774
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,719
standings right now, yes, at eight and six.

775
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: So don't don't get a twisted don't come in here

776
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,920
over confident and think you're just gonna dominate this game

777
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:58,679
against Iowa State.

778
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 2: You said rebounding was one of the reasons you won

779
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:01,519
the game.

780
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: What's your confidence level right now in sustaining that, especially

781
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,719
on the offensive side of the ball.

782
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:10,679
Speaker 9: You know, it's something we talk about, you know, all

783
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,719
the time, and so you know that was that was

784
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,320
and continues to be one of my major concerns without

785
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,039
Richie is is he was one of our best rebounders

786
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:23,440
on both ends of the floor, and so challenging guys

787
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:26,480
like uh, you know, me Hi Low and to be

788
00:38:26,639 --> 00:38:29,440
more consistent on the glass, challenging Aj. You know, AJ

789
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,760
had one of his highest offensive crash rates of the

790
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,840
season last game. You know, obviously Hadeem is a rebounding machine.

791
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,039
You know, he's been able to fill that gap for

792
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:42,599
us a little bit. So, you know, just guys have

793
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:44,920
to continue to do more. You know, I think Cable

794
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,559
has been to come back to life. You know, it's

795
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:48,239
the Cable that.

796
00:38:48,199 --> 00:38:49,039
Speaker 2: We all know and love.

797
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:51,159
Speaker 9: What we've seen in the last couple of games, and

798
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:53,519
so I think we're getting contributions from different guys on

799
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:56,159
the glass, and our guys understand that when that is

800
00:38:56,199 --> 00:38:58,199
the strength of ours, you know, we're a very very

801
00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:00,880
hard team to beat because you know, on the defensive end,

802
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,800
it really really allows us to get out out in

803
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,679
transition where I think we're very good, and then and

804
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:08,000
then on the offensive side, you know, it becomes part

805
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,840
of the possession battle, which I've been talked about a lot.

806
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,639
Speaker 2: Vic, you got a cool staff for me.

807
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,559
Speaker 1: Today we're talking about rebounding and how critical it is.

808
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:20,360
Who's the rebounding king right now?

809
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: For Brigham?

810
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 7: Well, the Cougars are four and oh this season when

811
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,960
Boop has double digit boards and he's there thirteen and

812
00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:31,920
two when he has five or more boards. So that

813
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,719
tells you the more he's playing, better chance BYU has

814
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,519
to win the game.

815
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,199
Speaker 2: It's time for some bounding Boops. Baby. That's it.

816
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,039
Speaker 1: Just forty minutes, all right, Just play him all forty

817
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,719
He's got the energy in the cardiovascular nature.

818
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 2: I bet he could.

819
00:39:46,559 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 6: Obviously, I don't know if it works with like the

820
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,400
lineups and everything, but I bet you he could play

821
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,360
forty minutes.

822
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt about it.

823
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 9: H K.

824
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: Why does you SEEUS road victory over Utah Saturda night

825
00:39:56,199 --> 00:40:00,840
heighten your attention, especially giving their ability to win tough environments.

826
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,159
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, you definitely respect their ability to

827
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:06,239
go on the road and get a win, especially cross

828
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,519
country like that. But I mean our look, I don't,

829
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,880
and I say this with all due respect to UCF,

830
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,960
I don't. I don't need to see anything for any

831
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,920
team to grab my attention. I mean, our league is

832
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,400
a bear. Everybody understands it. Any team can beat anybody

833
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,239
on a given night. They've proven they can. They can

834
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,000
beat any team in our league. They're well coached, they

835
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,079
have guys who are really talented, like I just said,

836
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:31,039
but more than anything, you just look at the standings

837
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:33,480
and where where they're at, you know, and what they're

838
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:35,119
saying in their locker room. You know, this is a

839
00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:37,719
huge game for them as it is for us. It's

840
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,760
a massive game for both teams, and so you know

841
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,239
our guys will be ready to go for those reasons.

842
00:40:47,039 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: He said bear, and I was like ringball, baby football,

843
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:56,519
foot bear football, bear, bacmar Blam's talking about football.

844
00:40:56,519 --> 00:40:59,639
Speaker 2: You can say bear, bog bar spring ball right around the.

845
00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: Corner by whoa camp Kline twenty twenty.

846
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,079
Speaker 2: Six underway anyway, Sorry, man, it was like I'm like

847
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:09,599
the dog on up squirrel Bear Bear. Anyway, isn't Bear

848
00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:11,239
Bachmer pretty good at basketball? Yeah?

849
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:17,039
Speaker 6: He was playing in a I want to say junior Jazz.

850
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:18,119
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was.

851
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 6: It was at the Delta Center and it was Bear

852
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,559
Bachmeyer and a bunch of other dudes playing basketball. I

853
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:28,880
think BYU may have put it out on their social

854
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,960
but yeah, Bear was hitting threes. He was miked up Bear.

855
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,320
Bear can hoop. The man can play ball. So I'm

856
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,039
sure that's probably not what Kevin Young was talking about. However,

857
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,800
I did love what he said as far as like

858
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,039
it doesn't like doesn't take anything for anyone in the

859
00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:49,280
Big twelve to grab his attention.

860
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:50,679
Speaker 2: Everyone grabs his attention.

861
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,159
Speaker 6: And to his point, like UCF is saying everything in

862
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:55,960
their locker room that BYU saying in theirs.

863
00:41:56,159 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 2: Because right now UCF is.

864
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 6: A ten seed in the Big twelve in the NCAA

865
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,639
turn per Joe Lunardi, so like they are getting into

866
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:06,159
that spot where they could be out of the tournament.

867
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:10,199
This win would certainly bolster their tournament resume.

868
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: No doubt about it love that perspective. Let's get into

869
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,280
a couple other things here. Let's talk about a deem boop.

870
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,800
We saw Hadem leave around the two twenty mark in

871
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:20,679
the game on Saturday.

872
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 2: Is it okay? Is he okay to go tomorrow?

873
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was a little limited today in practice, but

874
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,559
he's He's a type of kid math that he'd have

875
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:33,199
to saw his leg off for him to not play

876
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:33,679
in the game.

877
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're always concerned about Like I was

878
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:40,199
concerned at the end of the game of Hadem's health

879
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,840
and then and then Kepa's hand right and I thought

880
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,800
it was his dunking hand, but then someone said to oh,

881
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:46,679
it was his left arm.

882
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, it was his left hand or

883
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,639
is his right hand? What's going on? What's what's injured on?

884
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:53,960
On Keva? Did we have confirmation if it's left or

885
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:54,960
right both?

886
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,199
Speaker 6: But I mean, if he did, look when he dunked

887
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,480
the ball at the end of the game, he looked

888
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:02,679
like he dunk it so hard that afterwards he was like, oh.

889
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: Shoot, I don't know.

890
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was like his right hand

891
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,440
though that he injured, or if it is like offhand.

892
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,360
I don't remember which one has tape on it. I

893
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,239
think it's his right hand that has tape on it.

894
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 4: So both bal ff are hurt.

895
00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:17,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyways, yeah, we gotta get it. We try to

896
00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:19,760
get some confirmation on that. But he was he was

897
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:25,920
hurting after that dunk, right, Yeah, A little lighthearted question

898
00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:30,400
from the from the media base. I remembered you told

899
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,440
us when AJ had long sleeves, you said you're big

900
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,679
on routines. The team is going to wear blackout jerseys. Uh,

901
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:42,440
that's right there wearing blackout jerseys tonight. Did you have

902
00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:45,840
to sign off on that because of a little bit

903
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:48,360
of this look and aesthetic on the court.

904
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 2: What's up?

905
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 4: That's that's news to me.

906
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 9: But but that that that's a little bit different the sleeves.

907
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:59,360
The sleeves, definitely, we were in its own category. But uh,

908
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:01,880
I think our guys will be, you know, ready to go.

909
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,639
I trust our our crew that puts all that together.

910
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 2: He does. He likes routines. I like it.

911
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,559
Speaker 1: I don't like any I don't like the blackouts anymore.

912
00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:15,599
I don't like the distraction. I don't like anything.

913
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:18,599
Speaker 6: I will say if you watch him as he answers

914
00:44:18,639 --> 00:44:20,599
this question, because he says this was news to me,

915
00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:23,480
and then he goes and hops on his phone. I'm

916
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,320
sure he's good with it, but I do wonder if

917
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,800
there's a part of him he was like, wait a minute,

918
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,599
I didn't know about this. We're adjusting our routine. Hold on,

919
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,480
hold on, because again, like he wears, he wears all

920
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,440
black every game. He wears the same shoes and the

921
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,000
same pants every game. Only thing he changes to pull over.

922
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:38,880
And I'm with you, like, I'm I'm the same way.

923
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,599
I wear black pants and then I rotate my hoodies.

924
00:44:41,599 --> 00:44:44,519
But outside of that, so I'm with him, I am

925
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:48,440
a little surprised. I'm a surprised that it's happening at all,

926
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:49,800
that we're changing the uniforms.

927
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:50,639
Speaker 2: Yes, and b.

928
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 6: If it is happening, I'm shocked to learn that he

929
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,079
didn't know, because again, we we knew about this. I

930
00:44:57,079 --> 00:44:58,639
think it was in the game notes from a couple

931
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:01,079
of days ago, so we knew about But I think

932
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,480
it's funny that Kevin Young is just now finding out.

933
00:45:03,519 --> 00:45:05,559
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm a little surprised that he's cool with it.

934
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a great question, honestly, Yes, Like, like I

935
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:17,360
personally now hate uniform combination because I'm like every time,

936
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,920
I always feel like we get distracted by it and

937
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,840
like as fans and media were with it, but like

938
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,719
I wanna see Dubbs, I wanna see wins.

939
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: It is a blackout. Uh, everyone's gonna be wearing black,

940
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,800
I guess at the game tonight. Yeah, all the fans

941
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:34,159
as well. We're supposed to wear black, right, us are

942
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:34,960
supposed to wear black?

943
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 4: That is correct.

944
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 5: They put it on the Marriott screen out of the

945
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,400
last two games, on all the socials. So look, Ben,

946
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,159
I'm gonna be honest. I need we might need to

947
00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:44,320
get the guy that does the jersey thing. But I

948
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:46,400
don't know what their record is with black jerseys. I

949
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,039
don't Originally I was like, oh, blackout, and then I

950
00:45:49,039 --> 00:45:51,079
thought about it. It's like they've had some heartbreaks. I

951
00:45:51,079 --> 00:45:54,679
feel like with these jerseys. So UCF is the perfect

952
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,679
team been to give a heartbreak with black jerseys when

953
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,199
they're the team that normally wears the black and Old.

954
00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 6: If I'm not wrong, I will say as far as

955
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:07,199
changes go, aj Debontsa war Ahead band to start the

956
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,320
season took it off and has since brought it back.

957
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: So that is a change as well.

958
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 6: That we have not talked about, even though what I

959
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,599
will say is maybe he's bringing it back just for

960
00:46:22,559 --> 00:46:25,039
just to represent Richie. I do have the numbers have

961
00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:26,480
been Richie in black jersey.

962
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: I have leave for you on the black So shout

00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:41,519
Speaker 6: So b YU in the black uniforms under in the

968
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:46,280
Kevin Young era BYU seven and six. This year b

969
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,239
YU is one and two and overall with the black

970
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,000
jerseys in BYU history twelve and fourteen.

971
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 2: So it's about fifty to fifty told you.

972
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:01,639
Speaker 4: Fifty fifty six to seven. I hate that. I know

973
00:47:01,679 --> 00:47:02,679
I just did that, but I don't.

974
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:03,519
Speaker 2: I don't know if I like that.

975
00:47:03,639 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: Ben, It's interesting interesting indeed, last thing here with the

976
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,639
final stretch, K, why do you make your team aware

977
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:14,840
of the big twelve brackets in there or NC double

978
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:15,639
a seating at all?

979
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,559
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm aware of it, you know, I try to.

980
00:47:19,199 --> 00:47:21,400
You know, I know more about it now this year

981
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,960
than I did last year. So I talked to my

982
00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:27,119
coaches about it, and so I'm I'm in tune with it,

983
00:47:27,199 --> 00:47:30,440
you know, bottom line is, you know, regardless of where

984
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,280
you are, clearly you want to be in the best

985
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,719
situation you can be in in terms of you know,

986
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,679
whether it's seating for the Big twelve or for NC

987
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,039
Double A. But I think the most important thing is

988
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:44,960
just you know, playing at a high level, you know,

989
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:47,599
this time of year, and being able to just execute,

990
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,639
you know, for for for forty minutes, like I said,

991
00:47:51,679 --> 00:47:54,679
But yes, I do look at it. I'm like I said,

992
00:47:54,679 --> 00:47:56,400
I'm a fan of the game too, so I just

993
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,960
I like knowing the landscape and seeing kind of where

994
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:00,920
team stack up.

995
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: So it's, uh, you.

996
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,159
Speaker 9: Know, we're incringing upon the best time of year in

997
00:48:05,199 --> 00:48:05,960
college sports.

998
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,639
Speaker 2: So here we go.

999
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,079
Speaker 1: There you go, the most wonderful time of the year. Guys, Ronnie,

1000
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:14,039
you want to chime in on this that final thing

1001
00:48:14,119 --> 00:48:16,639
from and also you have a little bit of the

1002
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,519
bracketology update where BYU who b what you would be playing?

1003
00:48:20,599 --> 00:48:22,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's really what I wanted to give was the

1004
00:48:22,079 --> 00:48:24,480
last update. Right now they would be playing. They're gonna

1005
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,360
not play on the first day, They'll play on the Wednesday.

1006
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,079
They're out of the question. I think for that double bye.

1007
00:48:29,199 --> 00:48:31,280
I don't think they're gonna go to the quarterfinals like

1008
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,800
last year, but it's good. I think this team needs

1009
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,320
to play as many games to get in the rhythm.

1010
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:36,280
Game eight, they be the sixth seed. They play the

1011
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,679
winner of game four, so that's the eleventh and the

1012
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,840
fourteenth seed. So that would be the matchup between Colorado

1013
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,840
and Baylor, who I believe they would both beat. And

1014
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,559
that's an eight thirty pm game on ESPN two. Espnu, Ben,

1015
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:49,760
you gotta love that. And in the quarterfinals, Ben, this

1016
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,360
is why I gotta get down there. Do you know

1017
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,400
who they would play? And I want to see this

1018
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,280
matchup because we talk about narratives, we talk about YadA, YadA, YadA.

1019
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,960
So the winner of game eight would play the number

1020
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,559
three seed in game twelve in the last night game.

1021
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,320
Do you know who that team is third in the conference.

1022
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: Right now, Mike, guess is Kansas?

1023
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 5: It would be d It would be Darren Peterson. So

1024
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,800
Darren Peterson and aj D Bonsa. That's probably what fans won.

1025
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,639
You probably want Kansas to finish third to see this again,

1026
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:18,199
to get there, get back and being could you imagine

1027
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,960
that at b YU is the sixth seed, which is

1028
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,639
probably where they're gonna finish. If they win Kansas finishes

1029
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,079
is three. They're gonna play them in the quarterfinal on

1030
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,119
ESPN ESPEN two, the last game of the quarterfinals on

1031
00:49:29,199 --> 00:49:31,039
March twelve, Thursday, with the opportunity to go to the

1032
00:49:31,039 --> 00:49:34,039
semi final. Everyone wants to see that game, Ben, So

1033
00:49:34,079 --> 00:49:36,880
there you go. I think that's probably gonna be BYU's path.

1034
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 6: If I had to guess, yeah, I think that would

1035
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,239
be so much fun, man, because again, according to Ben's conspiracy,

1036
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,639
that Darren Peterson is probably gonna start showing up in

1037
00:49:45,639 --> 00:49:48,199
the Big twelve tournament. So if that is the case,

1038
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,039
then yedd in as early as you can as far

1039
00:49:51,079 --> 00:49:52,760
as the NCAA tournament goes.

1040
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,039
Speaker 2: You've done, pissed off DNP Yeah you done?

1041
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:59,039
Speaker 6: And his daddy, Yeah, he's Bill's.

1042
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,119
Speaker 1: Coaching them up now true. I think it was the

1043
00:50:01,159 --> 00:50:04,119
Myron Medcalf article. Yes, like you know, you said, I

1044
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:06,119
haven't even coached this guy yet.

1045
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 6: Which is so I don't know in what contacts he

1046
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:11,199
said that, But that is a weird thing because.

1047
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,079
Speaker 1: If you're not practicing and you're not playing, you're only

1048
00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:16,360
playing half of anything, Like are you really coaching him up?

1049
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 6: That's why I think It's really weird that he told

1050
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,320
Myron Medcalf that it went into the article.

1051
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I haven't even coached him.

1052
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: And then you see him doing this little hand thing

1053
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,840
like dee up, get back, get back, dear up. He's

1054
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,840
finally trying to coach him up and hold him accountable

1055
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:30,880
and try to get after him.

1056
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 2: A little bit. That's a weird look. I mean, yeah,

1057
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,039
it's weird. I will say I love that. Kevin Young.

1058
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 6: Again, we talked about this all season, but every other

1059
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:41,719
coach in America they goes, I.

1060
00:50:41,639 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 2: Don't pay attention to that stuff.

1061
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,519
Speaker 6: They give you all the other like classic coach talkisms.

1062
00:50:46,599 --> 00:50:48,840
Kevin Young's like, man, we're kind of coming up on

1063
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,360
the best time in college sports. Like, let's go as

1064
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,760
far as the INCITABA Tournament goes, as far as Joe

1065
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,199
Lunardi sees it, b YU will be a would be

1066
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,960
a six seed going to Portland taking on the Indiana Hoosiers.

1067
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 2: But you know what's fun if the bracket goes like this,

1068
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,280
obviously who knows.

1069
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,079
Speaker 6: But on the other side, BYU, if they advanced, they

1070
00:51:10,119 --> 00:51:18,000
would take on their old wccfoe, those Gonzaga Zags. So

1071
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:20,800
it'd be really interesting if they if we got to

1072
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,360
see that. I mean, I don't know that I want

1073
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,119
to see Gonzaga, but I think it'd be fun.

1074
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,079
Speaker 2: For WCC sake.

1075
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 6: It's gonna be really interesting to see how they finish

1076
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,559
the thing out and where BYU ends up as far

1077
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:30,880
as the in silly tournament goes.

1078
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: Love that breakdown, gentlemen, Let's take a time out. We'll

1079
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,159
be back, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Great segment

1080
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,559
there on your Utah ESPN Radio Network talking ky and

1081
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,079
there's BAU basketball team.

1082
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: By the way, BAU is a hippie favorite.

1083
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,679
Speaker 1: In tonight's the game, twelve and a half points, twelve

1084
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,079
and a half ESBN analytics giving a Baun eighty six

1085
00:51:53,079 --> 00:51:56,719
point eight percent chance of victory. Remember you CF, if

1086
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,840
you haven't looked at the records, they're nineteen and seven

1087
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,719
BYU's twenty and U c F is eight and six

1088
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,480
and Big twelve play. B YU is eight and six

1089
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:04,840
and Big twelve play.

1090
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,519
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem right to be that heavily favored. It

1091
00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:09,760
just doesn't seem right. That's where I'm at.

1092
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 5: Is it because of the injuries though, that's my thing

1093
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,800
of their star players.

1094
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,039
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe I mean Ken palm as UCF as the

1095
00:52:18,079 --> 00:52:19,039
forty ninth best team.

1096
00:52:19,119 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 2: B YU is at twenty one.

1097
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:27,079
Speaker 1: So there you have it, Ronnie, I know you want

1098
00:52:27,159 --> 00:52:29,760
you for for for March Madness Christmas. You want to

1099
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,519
see d n P and aj one more time because

1100
00:52:32,559 --> 00:52:33,880
we got the twelve.

1101
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,599
Speaker 2: Yes I did the regular season, didn't we?

1102
00:52:35,679 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 4: I did?

1103
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 5: I do want that to be my Christmas gift. You've

1104
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,880
given a lot of gifts. You're the You're the real

1105
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,000
uh you know, gift of Christmas. You give so much.

1106
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,679
But no, yeah, I would love to see that matchup. Well,

1107
00:52:44,679 --> 00:52:46,880
because here's the thing at the Big twelve thing, they

1108
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,320
let you sit depending on the media who they give

1109
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,840
access to court side. So some of the local media

1110
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,639
got a chance to sit in, do their articles and

1111
00:52:54,679 --> 00:52:57,280
do their stuff court side. What could you imagine seeing

1112
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,760
Darren and aj Ben that we for the first half

1113
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,599
for the drench that's Brett's thing before it is, But

1114
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:05,559
he might not even play.

1115
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:07,079
Speaker 4: He might be d n P that game, We have

1116
00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:07,719
no dude.

1117
00:53:07,599 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 2: He might be getting ready for combat.

1118
00:53:09,039 --> 00:53:11,159
Speaker 1: Hey let me let me just give you because this

1119
00:53:11,199 --> 00:53:19,559
is all coming to a wonderful uh precipice Oh yeah, yes.

1120
00:53:18,199 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 2: And Ronnie, you teed me up for this. This is beautiful,

1121
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:21,360
you know what.

1122
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 6: I mean By the way, I don't agree, but I

1123
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,920
do hope you're right. That's not how I see it

1124
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,679
going down, but I hope you're right. For arguments and narratives,

1125
00:53:27,679 --> 00:53:29,639
here we feel me out.

1126
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: If you're Brett your marre we go and you're a

1127
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:41,360
puppeteer of monetization and celebritization, okay, propaganda. Aren't you puppeteering

1128
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:46,239
another matchup in the Big Twelve tournament with.

1129
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,199
Speaker 4: D Yeah, you're not wrong, b Yu.

1130
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 5: They get the foul calls in that game, they win,

1131
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,840
and they go on to play in the quarterfinal.

1132
00:53:53,079 --> 00:53:54,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, here I buy that.

1133
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:55,559
Speaker 2: What do you think you want?

1134
00:53:55,639 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're the your your mark, filthy luke

1135
00:54:00,159 --> 00:54:01,880
or seeker.

1136
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,599
Speaker 2: Right, this is what you want.

1137
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:10,199
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the Big Twelve. Everyone's talking about D

1138
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,599
m P. Now everyone's talking about how I take AJ

1139
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,760
overall number one, A J A J A J. And

1140
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:22,639
he just pulled off almost a triple double. M You know,

1141
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,320
look at all of the the last six games with AJ,

1142
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,920
and it's like, oh, it's all trending in AJ's but

1143
00:54:28,119 --> 00:54:32,639
well not so fast, says league Orse so not so

1144
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,400
fast as Darryl Peterson, the dad of Darren Peterson. He

1145
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,920
had an interview with CBS Sports. Myron metcalf is putting

1146
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,920
out his stuff. Finally, Darren Peterson is getting out in

1147
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,719
front of the media. You know, it wasn't very good.

1148
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:50,159
It wasn't there what we were asking for it. We

1149
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,840
asked for it, and they put him out there. So

1150
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,079
I give him credit for that. I did send you

1151
00:54:55,159 --> 00:54:58,199
the sound bite, Ronnie. I don't know if I did

1152
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,320
send it to you via DM. I belie leave. We

1153
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:02,920
can play that really quick because I don't know if

1154
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,079
it was a good thing. I guess we could save

1155
00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:05,559
it for a cougar. But no, but we're talking about

1156
00:55:05,559 --> 00:55:06,719
it right now. We got to talk about it. We

1157
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,719
got to do this right now, little cougar. But brought

1158
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,719
to you by batterwalth Batterwell dot Com. Get on that

1159
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,239
free Q and A no obligation to do the best

1160
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,400
Q and A with our text more Wealth Advisors. Let's

1161
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,360
play last night after the victory for Kansas, a great win.

1162
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,639
By the way, we don't even talked about that over

1163
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,519
Houston uh at fog Allen Darren didn't have his best game,

1164
00:55:24,559 --> 00:55:26,159
but it was still trotted out in front of the

1165
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,079
media in order to ask, in order to receive and

1166
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:31,400
answer a few questions.

1167
00:55:31,639 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 2: Uh, this is what one of his responses was. Uh,

1168
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,280
had something to say probably for every game this year.

1169
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,199
So I don't really patch it anymore. I don't know.

1170
00:55:41,199 --> 00:55:44,119
Speaker 9: I have been a anti social loner my whole life

1171
00:55:44,159 --> 00:55:45,280
kind of, so I kind of just deal with it

1172
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:45,639
on my own.

1173
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good thing to say

1174
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,440
when you're a team player. I think what they're having

1175
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,320
to fight the rhetoric of him being isolated, self centric,

1176
00:55:58,639 --> 00:56:01,440
self centered, and he goes centray, he just getting not

1177
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,639
coachable and injured and and just separate. And then he

1178
00:56:04,679 --> 00:56:07,559
says I'm a loner, anti social, and it's like, ah,

1179
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,960
wait a second here, Uh, maybe that's not the right

1180
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,440
thing to say, especially too, like.

1181
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: What what it? What it it?

1182
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,039
Speaker 1: He's on social media changing his avatar or his U

1183
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:22,800
his profile.

1184
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 6: Picture the Lord Scissorhands, Like, bro, he's a unique dude.

1185
00:56:27,519 --> 00:56:30,199
Speaker 2: So also, obviously you are on social media because you

1186
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,159
change your profile. He is seeing it. So again, the

1187
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:35,239
same issue with coaches.

1188
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 6: Don't tell me you don't see it just don't say anything,

1189
00:56:38,039 --> 00:56:39,599
because when you say you don't see it, and then

1190
00:56:39,639 --> 00:56:41,599
we see you on social media, it's like, Okay, well

1191
00:56:41,599 --> 00:56:42,079
you're lying.

1192
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1193
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's better to have maybe some sort

1194
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,280
of gatekeeper that feeds you the information, like, look, this

1195
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,079
is what they're saying about you, this is what's going on,

1196
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,719
you know, but you're not allocating bandwidth to it.

1197
00:56:55,119 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 2: You know, you're not seeking out anyway.

1198
00:56:58,119 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the best response for

1199
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,079
Darren Peterson in my opinion.

1200
00:57:03,199 --> 00:57:06,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now it kind of like, if you're looking

1201
00:57:06,119 --> 00:57:09,000
at this from Kansas's perspective, you're like, oh, I get

1202
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,079
why you guys haven't been rolling him out here, because

1203
00:57:11,119 --> 00:57:15,239
he's like that, like doing media is just not his thing.

1204
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,880
And there's like there's levels of not being great at media.

1205
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 2: There's like LJ. Martin and Bear Blackmeyer, where like.

1206
00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 6: They have people skills, but media and giving media what

1207
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,960
they want to hear, like that's just not their thing.

1208
00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:32,480
Darren Peterson like speaking to large groups of people, like

1209
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:35,039
that's just not what he wants to do.

1210
00:57:35,599 --> 00:57:37,239
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's not a great look.

1211
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,039
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, this is the first time you've been able to

1212
00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:44,519
roll him out though, because you're never sure when he's

1213
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:47,000
going to finish a game, and if he doesn't finish

1214
00:57:47,079 --> 00:57:48,440
the game, then you can't put him in front of

1215
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,920
the media. You're like, well, it's getting as hot as

1216
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,039
it's ever been, and he finished this game. I know

1217
00:57:53,079 --> 00:57:54,960
he didn't play well, but let's just put him out

1218
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,960
there and it didn't go super well.

1219
00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:04,039
Speaker 1: Yep, there you go, guys, let's go to break. Coming

1220
00:58:04,119 --> 00:58:06,760
up next, we'll talk some more ball. We'll get into

1221
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,360

1222
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:10,840
this BWAU men's basketball team.

1223
00:58:11,239 --> 00:58:12,079
Speaker 2: We'll ask the question.

1224
00:58:12,119 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: We'll go and review the poll his Bewiaves defense improved, worsened,

1225
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,639
or stayed the same from last year. Will Devin and
