are chomping at the bit. Our student section is the

44
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,840
best in the country. I mean the energy in the rock.

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,960
When you see the other team at crucial moments of

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,960
the game in a team huddle, all of them looking

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,719
at it makes me so happy just because the energy

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,280
is going to be off the charts. But the thing

49
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,439
that I'm excited about, We're probably gonna have thirty to

50
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,599
forty NBA executives here tonight. You've got some of the

51
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:37,039
top players in the country, both sides Arizona BYU. They're evaluating.

52
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,759
It's just going to add to a we're both you know,

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,719
playing for the top spot in the Big twelve. It's

54
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:46,240
just going to be really exciting. You got two great coaches.

55
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:47,840
There will be.

56
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: Palp It's gonna be palpable.

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,159
Speaker 3: It's gonna be grand, it's gonna be wonderful, it's gonna

58
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:58,520
be fantastic. Everybody from the NBA converging in provo capital.

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,159
Look Ky when he went to the pulpit when he

60
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,439
arrived Okay for his press conference at the Marriotte Center,

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,400
what did he promise Ronald the free Man Weaver what

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,120
did he say he was going to make Brigham Young

63
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:19,479
University hey pro pipeline.

64
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 5: He said that I want to prepare young men for

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,039
the NBA. And guess what been every player that has

66
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:29,520
not even gone to the NBA outside of yegor have

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,439
they all not upgraded? Have they all not playing in

68
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,039
that system? Has he not gotten them paid. I'm gonna

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,719
take a different route, and you tell me if I'm wrong.

70
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:38,360
I'm gonna try to not get too hyped. Stay with

71
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:41,800
him night, Dollen Hall got paid Elijah Craft for balling

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,319
out at UCI, literally ten minutes away from my house,

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680
balling out. He's gonna probably go into the portal after

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,639
this year, Ben, He's probably gonna where he started at BYU.

75
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,280
It's a product. It's not even just the guys that

76
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,439
are talented that will get there. He's helping develop all

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,400
levels of athletes that come through Brigham Young University. Look

78
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:00,639
at howdiem and how he's playing. You can't tell me

79
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400
that this roster. It might be robust, but everybody on

80
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,879
this roster has developed, has gotten better. If they've gone

81
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,039
somewhere else, they've been able to elevate where they at.

82
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:10,360
And just look at the guys gone elsewhere. So I

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,240
think this is great. But he's fulfilling on that slowly

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,759
but surely. He hasn't signed, seldom delivered, but it slowly

85
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,920
started to slowly but surely been in. Look, we're not

86
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,079
really gonna be able to fully have this full conversation,

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,399
but ben if Aj is the number one pick. It's over.

88
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:27,720
Once you do that in two years of college basketball

89
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:30,240
coming from the NBA, like we had talked about a

90
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,480
recruit on a visit. Today, everyone's gonna want to come

91
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,959
here Ben, everyone because they're gonna see, oh, well, if

92
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,839
he did that with Aj, what can he do with me.

93
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,040
It's gonna the flodgates are gonna come. And this is

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,759
where I say you all will be blessed for paying

95
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,480
your eleven percent.

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,199
Speaker 3: I think, look, I'm gonna I'm gonna quote tweet, the

97
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:48,560
energy's gonna be off the charts. Thirty to forty NBA

98
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,199
executives expected to be in the building, and I quote

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,199
this is what kay Wy said when he arrived in

100
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,680
Provo at his initial press conference. This is an amazing

101
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:04,279
place and it has been for a long time. What

102
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,839
I want to do, uh, what I want to do

103
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,319
is to take it to the next level. Is make

104
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,480
this place the best place in college basketball, to prepare

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,040
young men to play in the nb ay and with

106
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:24,800
my background, I think we're going to get it done.

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,199
That was his promise, that was his prophecy.

108
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 5: He's delivering, and he is delivering on it. Lady gonna

109
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:38,279
be number one and number two pick. Is that not delivering?

110
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: Then?

111
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: Is that not delivering?

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,920

00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,680

this Cougar basketball team taking a day off prior to

159
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,160

Speaker 2: Ronald three Man Weaver.

161
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: The Lord blesses those the sacrifice. He honors those that

162
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,000
sacrifice the Lord. I was told that my family would

163
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,839
be okay, not having a dad around, and if I

164
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:10,079
went on a mission, they said, if you obey that commandments,

165
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:13,439
if you follow first Nephi three seven, And I did

166
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,120
you know? And the Lord had a commandment and I

167
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:17,399
obeyed it and I was blessed. And if you obey,

168
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:19,959
you know, if you shall rest on the seventh day,

169
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,759
then he shall give you, you know, credence to be

170
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,839
able to defeat the number one team into night.

171
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: I was looking for another bee word, like an antonym

172
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:32,279
to blessing. I was like, will it be a blessing

173
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,759
or a I couldn't.

174
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: Think of I don't know. I know it would it be.

175
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: A burden bane the bane.

176
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,159
Speaker 2: The bane of the existence? Yes, uh yeah, but hopefully

177
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:46,240
it turns out well. Now.

178
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: Now, one of the other things here that we're talking

179
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,679
about in these Cougar Bytes, we've been discussing, uh, Darren

180
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,919
Peterson versus AJ Debonso and uh, you know, I thought

181
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:01,919
it was interesting. There's a podcast with j Billis and

182
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:03,559
I believe on All.

183
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 5: The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.

184
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: I believe.

185
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,919
Speaker 3: Okay, So All the Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson,

186
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,440
they were breaking down Darren Peterson. Now there we've gone

187
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:16,919
back and forth, topsy turvy little undulations, back and forth.

188
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,840
Who's going to be the number one overall pick in

189
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:23,159
the NBA Draft this next year and this crew seems

190
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,960
to think that it's Darren Peterson.

191
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:25,639
Speaker 2: Let's tune in.

192
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 7: I could say that I feel like scored it as

193
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:32,879
easily as Peterson was.

194
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant.

195
00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 8: Darren Peterson, A lot of people are saying he's the

196
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,200
next coming. Rest in peace, my brother Kobe. His ability

197
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,200
to score, read the floor, his tenacity, the way he plays.

198
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 7: He's got a smoothness, to his game that is extraordinary.

199
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,000
He can score from anywhere. He's just got an unbelievable feel.

200
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,639
He's got size, and athleticism and you name it. He

201
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,440
hasn't played a full season because of this hamstring slash

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,799
cramping issue he's been dealing with. But when he's played,

203
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:06,000
I mean the other night he had twenty six points

204
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,360
and twenty three, you know he's the real deal scoring wise.

205
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,200
There aren't many that come along that score it as

206
00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:15,759
I mean, the last guy could say that. I feel

207
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:21,320
like scored it as easily as Peterson was Kevin Durant,

208
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,279
and they're vastly different players.

209
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 9: I mean, Dadovan Mitchell the way he is now, the

210
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:27,720
shot maker he was now, he wasn't that shot maker

211
00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,399
in college. He's improved his ability to make shots. He

212
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,600
can get to anywhere on the floor anytime he wants it.

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,840
He's got an incredible basketball feel right in terms of

214
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,759
being efficient with his dribble, he doesn't waste his dribble.

215
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:41,840
He gets the spots. He shoots an effort to say

216
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:46,039
on the catch, he has really good vision. I think

217
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,240
he's the one guy absolutely plug and play, and he's

218
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,080
going to get twenty two to twenty five a game

219
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,080
in the NBA and the last guy.

220
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so look these guys breaking it down. Credible voice

221
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:04,799
sues back, right, and I'm not saying Darren Peterson isn't

222
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,919
a dude, isn't a guy. I am still wondering how

223
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:11,000
they're justifying the over number one overall pick with somebody

224
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,320
like soft tissue injuries and ankle injury.

225
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: It's like, how does this guy stay available? Is he just?

226
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:23,759
Speaker 3: Is he always like Nick deinged bruised up. It's got

227
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:27,720
to be an issue. It's it has to limit his

228
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
draft stock. I would imagine I can't remember the last

229
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,159
guy coming out of college basketball or even the high

230
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,080
school when one like when you when you just go

231
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,159
it went straight to the league, right when you're a Kobe, right,

232
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,679
like if you had injury issues like I am, that

233
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,320
that always depletes and diminishes your stock. I don't know

234
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,279
your reaction to that SoundBite Darren Peterson being highlighted there.

235
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, Ben, it's an offensive league. That's

236
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:58,679
what they go by. And I mean what did Jay J.

237
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,399
Billis saying? They're they're very you know, these guys know

238
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,159
their words and they've been doing this a long time

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,159
that they can think on the spot and they're very

240
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:09,120
quick of how to avoid certain things and where to

241
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,600
pray give praise to what do he say? Scoring wise?

242
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,360
This guy always doesn't waste to dribble athletic wise getting

243
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,600
to the basket. They don't talk about both sides of

244
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,799
the ball, so the upside, you know he's already there.

245
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,919
I get he's a more complete can shooter. But AJ's

246
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,320
the guys where the ceiling is the roof there is none.

247
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,519
It's through there. But he's not just that. We're talking

248
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,159
about a guy Ben that won't just be the first

249
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,039
overall pick offensively. He can do it on the defensive

250
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:35,759
side of the ball. AJ can be an all defensive

251
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,960
player both ways. He can lock you up. He can

252
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,960
be what Shait gil As Alexander is. He can do

253
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,200
what Wibben Yamba can do right now. He can do

254
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,120
what Lebron can do. He can do what Tracy McGrady

255
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,480
can do. It's not just Penny Hardaway. It's not just

256
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:48,360
one side of the ball. And I think that's where

257
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:51,080
AJ to me, does it differently because you look at

258
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,600
a guy like Anthony Llwards. Okay, Anthony Llwards went number

259
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,759
one overall, but and can also play defense. Can Darren

260
00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:58,440
really play defense the way J can? I don't think so.

261
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,320
And also at that same bil his health, you just

262
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,919
you can't. And these guys are gonna say the right things.

263
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,039
But when he's healthy, it's not close. Well what if

264
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:08,480
he's not What if he's not healthy against BYU, that's

265
00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:10,559
the factor in oh he didn't show up. At some

266
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,759
point it been you give guys. And this is where

267
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:15,159
I say in il needs to play a fact and

268
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:16,480
I want to go too much off on the tangent,

269
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:19,120
but I'm okay now with you taking away nil and

270
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:20,799
the laws that they have around it. If a guy

271
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,480
is not playing and he's not healthy, that has to

272
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:25,000
be a factor. You can't just bag a paycheck and

273
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:27,440
be on a roster and not participate. And if your

274
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,240
health is not going well, that's they're gonna move on

275
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,240
from you. And it's the same thing even in the business.

276
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,399
If you're not healthy, they'll trade you, they'll get rid

277
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,120
of you. I mean, heck, they'll wave you in football

278
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:37,320
said please don't come back. That's what these organizations do

279
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,519
because they want someone that's gonna win now and do it.

280
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,519
Look at dreg May how many years until the league

281
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:43,480
and now was in the Super Bowl. So are you

282
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,919
gonna take like I said, you're gonna draft Darren Peterson

283
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,720
been because you can't lose your job and if it

284
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,559
wore to work out, you won't take that chance. But

285
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,759
I'm telling you that in the first five to seven seasons,

286
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:54,360
if it's not working out after that first rookie deal,

287
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,679
if it's not there, you're going to move on from him.

288
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:59,120
Or is it gonna be like Zion Williamson, the guy

289
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,080
that could have should have went, but he kept going

290
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:02,960
up and down through injuries and he gets outdone by

291
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,720
everybody in his class. That's the truth. That's what's gonna happen.

292
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,240
So look, if he goes before then, I think you're

293
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,440
taking a risk. You're not having a risk with AJ

294
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,519
because they just been healthy. And I think when you

295
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,799
get into the nitty gritties, when you start to split hairs,

296
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:18,159
when you're doing it, AJ's hairs are better than Darren's

297
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:18,799
in my opinion.

298
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,679
Speaker 3: Let's take actually, let me bring up one more thing. No,

299
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:25,480

and his crew. All right, let's get into it. How

343
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,360
about this Kyle Winningham's contract. He's gonna make eight point

344
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200
two million per year with Michigan, and he's on the

345
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,440
hook for seventy five percent of the remaining and Michigan

346
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:34,600
is on the hook for seventy five percent of the

347
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:39,000
remaining value of Winningham if Winningham is fired before the

348
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:39,240
end of.

349
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,639
Speaker 2: The five year deal. So five year deal, eight point

350
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:42,519
two million per year.

351
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: Also, there was a two point three million dollars signing

352
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,600
bonus at Ward Manual's reasonable discretion. Okay, so what is

353
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:55,240
that's what Kyle's making. Congratulations to Kyle, because I think

354
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,919
Kyle was making at most about six million eight utah,

355
00:16:58,159 --> 00:17:01,679
So you got himself a nice hefty pay rate plus.

356
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: The signing bonus. Felici that is.

357
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,799
Speaker 3: Jason Beck also level it up and and j Hill.

358
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:12,839
Jason beck salary's three million up with a three million

359
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,400
Jay Hill salary two point six million? Are you surprised

360
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,000
or unsurprised? So unsurprised by the pay in at Arbor?

361
00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:24,680
Ronald the three man Weaver.

362
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well, lie, I'm I think I'm a little

363
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,640
bit uh surprised. I didn't think that that would be

364
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,119
to pay for one person. But that just lets you know,

365
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,240
maybe that's how much you know, he he, he values

366
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:38,599
that offense and they really believe that offense can compete

367
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,880
in the Big Ten and for a Big Ten championship

368
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,559
in the college football playoffs. I mean, look at what

369
00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:45,319
he did this year. I mean they average what Ben

370
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,319
I think it was, what plus thirty five points per game, Like,

371
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,920
that's ridiculous to do in the Big twelve, and b

372
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:53,039
what you beat him with them averaging that? So and

373
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,359
I know that's the rivalry. Game is different, but Utah

374
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:57,519
was a good football team and that offense was dynamic.

375
00:17:57,519 --> 00:18:00,440
They had Devin dan Pier and Bird Ficklin looking. I

376
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,599
know that they played some tough games. But you know,

377
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:04,960
I shouldn't be surprised by this, But when you're thinking

378
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,559
you going to the Weeds, it doesn't you know, because again,

379
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,160
offensive game, it comes down to the offense, so you

380
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,720
pay more for the offensive players. So I guess that's

381
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,519
why I shouldn't be surprised, even though a little bit

382
00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:17,759
I am. But yeah, I thought j Hill definitely would

383
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,680
have been the higher paid coordinator. Happy for Colin to

384
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:21,960
pay raise, and all of this was gonna come right then.

385
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,680
When you go to a program like Michigan, those those

386
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,079
things come, but it's more amplified. You gotta win right away.

387
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: You go.

388
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:32,039
Speaker 5: You gotta impact the program. Now in the Big Ten.

389
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,920
You have to compete with Indiana, you have to compete

390
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,000
in beat Ohio state. You have to do that right away.

391
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,119
You can't take a year off. So but as well deserved.

392
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,960
I can't tell any of them that they don't deserve it.

393
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:42,839
They all have worked hard. Look at the track record,

394
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,319
So tip of the cap that everybody that was able

395
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:47,160
to get themselves to nice pay raises the money and

396
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,119
support their families.

397
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,319
Speaker 3: If you're to do it, just by SP plus so

398
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:56,480
ESPNSP plus efficiency metric. The final rankings were dropped just

399
00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:59,640
a few days ago. Bill Conley put it out the

400
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:03,480
off the creator of the s P plus metric, BYU's

401
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,400
defense this season versus their sos. Their strength of schedule

402
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,920
came in in the top twenty five and number twenty

403
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,359
two overall. Not too bad, not too shabby, great season

404
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,839
for the defense. Utah's offense, however, sixth in the nation.

405
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,319
Maybe a little higher than you thought, especially consider how

406
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:26,799
well that BYU defense didn't get that did against the

407
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:33,519
Utah offense at Levelle Edwards Stadium. So maybe that's why

408
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,720
Jason Beck he's as just a scout, just a tidbit,

409
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,720
just a wee bit more valuable on the pay scale

410
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,440
to that of j Hill. But Ja Hill really good,

411
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:49,240
really good coordinator. It was a nice pick up. Now,

412
00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:51,319
I was told Ronnie, this may be a surprise you

413
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:53,759
that the money wasn't too far off.

414
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: With BYU was offering.

415
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,799
Speaker 3: Okay, wasn't too far off from when ann Arbor in

416
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,960
Michigan were offering.

417
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

418
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 3: So it does go to show that b YU is

419
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,039
in the business of competing with the big boys of

420
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,640
the Big Ten and the sec to retain uh their coaches.

421
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,279
And we saw that with Koloni Shataki's deal. Uh is

422
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,039
he was flirtatious with Penn State, possibly had one foot

423
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:20,240
out the door until uh, you know.

424
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: The board of Trustees got involved.

425
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: Is that you will not you will not pass, You

426
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,960
will not go to Penn State, no way know how Kalota,

427
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You're staying in provo. So a monumental deal, no doubt,

428
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:41,559
to retain Kilani Sataki, your head coach of Brigham Young University.

429
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: Instead, they had to they had to go settle for.

430
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: For Matt Campbell. And Matt Campbell's a good coach too.

431
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,279
Congratulations on gett that Penn State deal. And I actually

432
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:52,079
think it's a better fit, uh with with all things

433
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,160
said and done as it does that, I think Matt

434
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,599
Matt Campbell actually a better fit for Penn State. All right, guys,

435
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,799

Speaker 2: Let's get on over to the hot line.

479
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,759
Speaker 3: Welcome in Brian Jeffries' voice of the Ears of A Wildcats.

480
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: Brian, how theck are.

481
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 10: You, gentlemen? Doing very well? Happy to be here. It's

482
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:49,880
a gonna be great Amosphere tonight. And I know last

483
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,319
year two great games between these two teams, so let's

484
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,119
hope for another one.

485
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, what is the composition? What are the similarities

486
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,880
and differences between the U of A team from last

487
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:00,680
this year?

488
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:05,559
Speaker 10: Well, a lot younger. Tommy Lloyd is using four freshmen

489
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,279
and his eight man rotation, so that stands out right away.

490
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:11,599
But then you kind of balanced that with some senior

491
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,440
guys including Jaydan Bradley and point guard, and then two

492
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,640
seniors that come off the bench, two guys Anthony Delorso

493
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,720
and Toby Alaka who started last year, who are now

494
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:23,440
the sixth and seventh. Then for the Wildcats, that's probably

495
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,519
the biggest change. They rely you know, last year they

496
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:28,920
wanted to play a lot more in the paint. They're

497
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,599
definitely doing it this year. You guys have probably seen

498
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,039
they take the fewest and make the fewest threes in

499
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:36,359
the Big Twelve, So they really rely on their game

500
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,720
inside the three point line. That's probably the other if

501
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:41,640
you want to call it starf difference from a year ago.

502
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:46,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very talented team. Though, let's break down

503
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,960
who are the key players that BYU fans need to

504
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,720
get to know prior to tip off.

505
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 10: Well, I think we got two great freshmen, maybe two

506
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,559
of the best freshmen in the country going at it

507
00:23:57,599 --> 00:24:00,599
here tonight in Coop for Arizona, who, as you know,

508
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,599
one of the top recruits, just like you know Aj

509
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,880
was for for BYU. Co is from Chandler, just up

510
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,480
the road outside of Phoenix, and he's done everything the

511
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,839
coaches have asked of him. You know, he's six', eight

512
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,000
he's extremely. Strong he's leading the team and in scoring

513
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:18,559
on a very balanced. Team and so that's the number one.

514
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:20,680
Guy but this has been a very balanced. TEAM i

515
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,559
mean you look up down the lineup and they've had

516
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,759
their eight man. Rotations seven different guys have scored twenty

517
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,799
or more points this. Year they've had different leading scores

518
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,480
night in and night. Out they really don't have a

519
00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:35,400
go to, guy AND i think that's actually to their

520
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,799
strength because they've found different people that might have a hot,

521
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,279
hand or maybe an opponent is taking one guy, out

522
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,240
and there's always somebody else that's going to be able

523
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,480
to step up. There so you, know that's. IT i

524
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,359
mean you could go up and down the. Lineup Mo,

525
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:51,160
crebus who's you know back at center this. Year he

526
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:53,440
set up most of last year with an. Injury he

527
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:56,960
has really improved from a year. Ago and THEN i

528
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,519
Mentioned Jayden, bradley you, know senior point. Guard you just

529
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:02,240
can't for anything better than have a senior at that.

530
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:04,559
Position he's been a great leader for the. Team, again

531
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:06,400
a guy that doesn't need to score a, lot doesn't

532
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,720
take a lot of three point. Shots he's more concerned

533
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,279
about getting his teammates.

534
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: Involved, brian what's been the scattered report ON.

535
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: BYU i know you've interacted with the coaching staff and

536
00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:19,680
these players of you. Vee what have they said about

537
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,480
THIS bau basketball team as they've Checked tate.

538
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,799
Speaker 10: Well very. Talented that's the first thing To Temmy lloyd

539
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:28,839
mentioned WHEN i talked to him this. Afternoon and you,

540
00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:31,119
know not only you have arguably the best freshman in the,

541
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,000
country but you, know you bring in a couple of,

542
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,440
transfers Namely Robert, wright a guy that we saw last

543
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,160
year At baylor and played well Against arizona At McHale

544
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,960
center last. Season so you, KNOW i think that's number,

545
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,799
one and just up and down their. Lineup JUST i

546
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:48,279
think the talent number, one but the physicality of the.

547
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:51,200
Group you, KNOW byu is a very very good rebounding.

548
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,839
TEAM i think their First arizona byure first and second

549
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:56,079
and rebounding marchin in the. League that tells you right

550
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,799
there that this is going to be a game that you,

551
00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:02,039
know somebody's going to probably win on the. Glass whoever

552
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:04,960
wins the rebounding war could very well win this. Game

553
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,759
SO i think that's the thing that the coaches have

554
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:09,200
talked a lot, about The arizona. Coaches that's just the

555
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,160
physical nature OF.

556
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,839
Speaker 2: Byu Brian, jefferies the voice of THE u of A.

557
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: Wildcats here ON espn the fan talking know the faux.

558
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,559
Segment get to know THIS u OF A wildcats, team

559
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:24,799
If bill used to win, tonight what do you think

560
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:25,720
it actually looks?

561
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 4: Like?

562
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,039
Speaker 3: Me because this is an UNDEFEATED u OF a, team

563
00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:30,880
the nomore team in the. COUNTRY i, mean which teams

564
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,720
have PLAYED u OF a the best and what have

565
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:34,079
they done well against THIS u OF a?

566
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,559
Speaker 10: Team, WELL i mean you go back to the season

567
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:38,440
over Against florida and of course The gators of the

568
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,400
defending national. Champions that was a close. Game arizona obviously won.

569
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,359
That they had a tight game AGAINST. UCLA i think

570
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,480
the teams that have played in the best are teams

571
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,680
have been able to slow the game. Down you just

572
00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:53,240
take a look at this last week or, so we

573
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:56,079
went down To Fort, WORTH tcu played a very rugged.

574
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,720
Game they wanted to limit. Possessions this past Week cincinnati

575
00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,319
And West virginia did the same. Thing, Now arizona won the,

576
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,400
games but you know The wildcats would, well they would

577
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:08,240
vastly prefer to run up and down and you, know

578
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200
get to ninety, points et. Cetera and those teams were

579
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,960
able to keep them below. That, Again arizona won the.

580
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,759
Game BUT i you, KNOW i don't know if b

581
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,599
why he wants to do that or. Not you got

582
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,039
another team that you know loves up and down, Basketball

583
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,359
so it's kind of a mystery here as to you,

584
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,480
know which coaching staff and exactly how they want to

585
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,400
go out. It i'll tell You Tommy lloyd doesn't want

586
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,440
to change. Anything he wants to attack like they have

587
00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:31,799
been all season and see what happens in the.

588
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,279
Speaker 3: End what's the most wild and rocketsh environment that THE

589
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,200
Ufa wildcat team has played in thus far this? Season

590
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,799
and how will they compare maybe to what they face

591
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:42,759
tonight at The Merit.

592
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:47,599
Speaker 10: Center, well nothing will compare because no arena that we've

593
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,119
been at has the capacity as as The Merry Odd.

594
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,519
Center so that's number. One AND i remember being here

595
00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,160
last year what a great atmosphere it, was and it

596
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,279
was probably the best we saw last year into where we.

597
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:02,079
Went probably the closest one to it was AT, tcu

598
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,920
and what they see half of what they do here

599
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,079
at The Marriotte. Center and part of the reason it

600
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,000
was such a rowdy crowd was there were a lot

601
00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:11,640
Of arizona fans there that you, know live In. Texas

602
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,519
that don't get to see them very. Often there's a

603
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:17,680
great crowd down In orlando FOR, ucf predominantly A knight's.

604
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,720
PROUD i think that was a great one as. Well

605
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:21,799
BUT i don't think anything's going to come close to.

606
00:28:21,839 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: This, yeah it's truly a big time one of the

607
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,480
best matchups all season, long one of the biggest games

608
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:31,880
of the college basketball.

609
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: Season i've called The.

610
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: Big twelve THE G league with the university. Logos you

611
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,119
see it every single week as you get Into Big twelve.

612
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:43,319
Speaker 2: Play how would you describe The big twelve? Gauntlet, well that's.

613
00:28:43,359 --> 00:28:45,599
Speaker 10: It, yeah and you guys know what the transfer portal

614
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,519
now and guys moving, around and you're able to bolster your,

615
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:53,480
roster you, know season by season and find great. TALENT i, think,

616
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:56,839
yeah that's probably a great description because so many of

617
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,559
these guys that we see night in the night out

618
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:01,839
are good enough to play in THE G, league maybe

619
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,839
good enough to play beyond, THAT i don't, know but,

620
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:08,000
yeah it's it's a tough. LEAGUE i. KNOW i was

621
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:11,240
excited When arizona moved into The big twelve exactly for this,

622
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,079
reason and that is The The pac twelve was. Good

623
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:17,440
they had some good teams, there but night in and night,

624
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,359
out you never saw what you do in The big,

625
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,920
twelve where every road trip you, take you know it's

626
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:24,119
going to take a herculean effort if you're going to

627
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,039
win the. Game and that's what you love about this

628
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,359
conference because you got to come to play every. Night

629
00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:30,599
there are no nights, off and that's WHAT i like about.

630
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:31,799
Speaker 2: It no nights.

631
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 3: Off now That i've been told, that you, know THE nba,

632
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,880
executives thirty to FORTY nba executives.

633
00:29:38,359 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: Are going to be in the.

634
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,839
Speaker 3: Building no nights off for THESE nba executives in these

635
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,200
high profile games.

636
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,079
Speaker 10: As, well you, Know AND i don't, know just kind

637
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:49,319
OF i guess a side note on that. SUBJECT i

638
00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:51,079
don't know if this is going to be a game

639
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,720
between the two great freshmen or. NOT i talked To

640
00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:57,440
coha last, night and you, know of, course he kind

641
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200
of pushed it, off, saying know it and they know

642
00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,440
each other, well as you guys. Know they've played together on,

643
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,799
teams they played against each other on some teams over

644
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:06,759
the last few, years so these guys know each other very.

645
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:09,039
Well but you, know he wanted to put the rest

646
00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:12,319
that it's between, them you, know it's two really good

647
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:13,839
basketball teams going at, it.

648
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:15,319
Speaker 2: No doubt about.

649
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: It what you, know you've seen a lot of talented

650
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,519
basketball players come THROUGH u OF. A you've been doing

651
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:25,039
this for a long. Time have you got up close

652
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:27,000
and personal yet WITH. Aj have you been able to

653
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:29,640
evaluate him yet or just you just seen it ON?

654
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:33,079
Speaker 10: Tv, yeah What i've seen on. FILM i mean he's

655
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:35,440
one of the best guys seen just based on his

656
00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:40,720
length at six,' nine ball, handling skills, outside shot ability

657
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,000
to put the ball on the floor and drive to

658
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:45,640
the baskets it gets to the foul line and then

659
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,839
makes his. Free throws and, you know that's what you,

660
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,880
look for and that's WHY the nba loves, the guy and.

661
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,599
THEY should, i mean he might be a. Generational talent.

662
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,799
WE'LL see i mean we got To Play cooper flag twice.

663
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,440
LAST year i thought he was one of those guys

664
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,599
and He certainly i'm proven it IN the nba so

665
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,960
far that they don't come along. VERY often I think

666
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,440
AJ's in. That certainly in that neighborhood.

667
00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: You mentioned co a few.

668
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 3: Times here describe his his skill set if, you could

669
00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:17,400
because he's just crafty, to me like obviously very, physically

670
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,880
gifted but he's he's. Very crafty he's got pure touch around.

671
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,279
The hoop how would you describe him as, A, player.

672
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 10: Well, you know he's, a freshman a, true freshman and

673
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,799
he is mature beyond. His years GREAT, basketball iq that's.

674
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Number one but you go back to the. Physical nature he's.

675
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:37,480
Very strong and that's the FIRST time i ran into

676
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:39,519
him when he got. TO campus i looked at HIM and,

677
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:41,559
i said you're not eighteen. Years old give me a.

678
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:45,359
Break HERE and i think that's certainly his strength is,

679
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,119
his strength, and yeah he's got a great. Game inside

680
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:51,359
you'll you'll notice if he gets, a rebound he loves

681
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,200
to be the guy bringing the ball up to court

682
00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:56,240
and then, he'll use, you know his court sense and

683
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:58,240
if he sees, a seam he's going to go right

684
00:31:58,279 --> 00:32:00,480
to the basket because, you know he has no fear

685
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:02,960
because of his size and his strength and the other

686
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:05,000
thing that, you know when he gets inside of, fifteen

687
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:08,960
feet he's just got a, great turnaround fadeaway shot that

688
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,599
he makes on a. Regular basis he'll take a couple

689
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,799
of threes once in, a while but, you know everything

690
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:15,960
that he, does well he does inside the three.

691
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,079
Speaker 3: Point LINE when byu went Into The, big twelve YOU

692
00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:23,319
of a hadn't joined yet with YOU of a, joining though,

693
00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:26,400
you know we've had, Discussions, about hey who Are these

694
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,119
we're the RIVALS right byu actually has a Rival, in

695
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:33,799
utah but a lot of, new faces a lot of reinvigorated.

696
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:37,319
RIVALRY games i was looking at the all time wins

697
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:40,960
and losses between these two programs in basketball, and football

698
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,480
and it's like fifty to fifty, In football BYU's fourteen

699
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:47,680
and twelve with, one TIE and i believe they're like

700
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:52,400
twenty and twenty one. IN basketball i love the head,

701
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,119
to head, you know fifty to fifty matchup that we

702
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,799
have here with this football and BASKETBALL teams BYU and U.

703
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:00,599
Speaker 2: Of, A well.

704
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 10: I agree and And when arizona Joined The, big twelve

705
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,920
that was one of my big questions because you lose

706
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:08,440
rivals AND the la Schools, and oregon. Et cetera you

707
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:11,920
KEPT the asu rivalry And. And utah, of course if

708
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,559
you become somewhat of a Rival, at colorado but who

709
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,039
are going to be the? NEW ones i think instantly

710
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:21,200
in basketball you Thought Of, arizona kansas and then more

711
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,519
recently Of the Arizona, in houston even though, you know

712
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:26,720
they know they hadn't played a lot in, recent years

713
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,519
just based on, you know what those two programs have

714
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:32,359
done over. The years, you know by you probably before,

715
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,680
You Know kevin young, got there and you guys would

716
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,039
have to, educate me you. KNOW more i know by,

717
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:39,440
you said some, tremendous team some great talent over. The

718
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:42,720
YEARS but i don't Know that arizona fans would look

719
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,680
At THE arizona byu rivalry as, you know a big

720
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,839
one prior to. Last season but, you know when when

721
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,200
you win on your, opponent's court as each team did,

722
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:55,119
last year that all of a sudden opens up. The

723
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,480
rivalry AND so i think this is going to now

724
00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:00,960
with these, two coaches if they day where they're at

725
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000
and continue to develop the programs the way they have, So,

726
00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:06,240
far yeah this is going to become on the best

727
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:07,160
rivalries In the.

728
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: Big twelve what's THE favorite B Y u u of

729
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,199
a game that you've called and what's the one you wish?

730
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,599
Speaker 10: To Forget Jimmer Ferdebt. McHale center was it forty eight

731
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,039
or forty? Nine points my memory is getting a little,

732
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:24,920
fuzzy now still holds the. Opponent record there is no

733
00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:29,679
question you know that that anytime an opposing player scores

734
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,559
over Thirty against, arizona McHale we just we say he's.

735
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:38,679
Been jimmreed that's kind of. The phrase. That's sinues so.

736
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: So that's what you want.

737
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 4: To.

738
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: Forget rights that can be. Your, favorite yeah that can be.

739
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,079
Speaker 10: Your, favorite yeah, you know may maybe just last Year

740
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,480
when arizona came up here and beat them in. THIS

741
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:53,480
building i DON'T think i came into thinking that that

742
00:34:53,599 --> 00:34:55,599
was going to be a very difficult task For ari

743
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,159
zona to win up here because of the atmosphere and a.

744
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,119
Good team and so that might be, my favorite just

745
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:04,159
because it was, more recent. You know other, than that,

746
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,840
you know you'd have to go back in the history boast,

747
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,159
of ways no doubt.

748
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: About, It, uh well, you know how do you think

749
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,920
this game actually? Plays out if you were, forced to

750
00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:17,119
uh give a scattering report on how this, game unfolds

751
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:17,440
what would.

752
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 10: It, be well who's able to uh use their? Will

753
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,559
tonight and it's going to come down to the, to

754
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:27,280
me just. The basics who can rebound, the ball who

755
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,079
can take care of, The ball and if you can

756
00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:34,000
take care of those, two Things can arizona defend the

757
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:38,920
big THREE for BYU can byu Defend whoever arizona gets

758
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,880
going tonight if one guy, you know gets a hot

759
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,679
end And the wildcats hit, three pointers and they've had

760
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,320
some up and. Down games they they hit them the

761
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,119
other Day Against. West virginia prior, to that they've been

762
00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:52,360
in kind of a three. Point SLUMP so i think

763
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,119
there's a lot of things to go. Into it but,

764
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:56,840
you know just Talking To, tommy lloyd and as a,

765
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,800
typical coach, he says we just got to do what

766
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,880
we do and the rest will take care.

767
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: Of itself eight to Zero in quad, one games two

768
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,599
and Zero in quad. Two games what stood out to

769
00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:12,320
you About the quad one opportunities and wins that has

770
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,440
PREPARED that u of a team to win On The,

771
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,079
Marriott center.

772
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: Floridy, thing well.

773
00:36:18,639 --> 00:36:20,599
Speaker 10: Probably the biggest one would be the Game in Stores,

774
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:23,239
against yukon and that's still the only Loss the huskies

775
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,679
have suffered. This year that was a very, physical ballgame,

776
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,920
tight throughout And the wildcats got out of there with.

777
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,920
A win that's probably the closest one that we can compare.

778
00:36:32,039 --> 00:36:35,599
Right Now beating Alabama in birmingham would come, in second

779
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,679
just because again that's a quality team and that was

780
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,079
a even though it was Not, in tuscaloosa it was

781
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:45,119
A pro alabama Crowd And brydon burry's that is coming

782
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:47,199
out party in, That one arizona kind of wanted. Going

783
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,440
AWAY so i think, this Team this arizona team has

784
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,000
been tested in terms of playing in environments. Like this the,

785
00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:57,159
question is, you know how do they do it against talent?

786
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,679
Speaker 2: Like this brian best way of supports you what? You

787
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:00,440
do how you?

788
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,079
Speaker 3: Do it for all of our listeners that would want

789
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:03,320
to tune into, Your, call.

790
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,039
Speaker 10: Yeah we're on the. RADIO somewhere i. DON'T know i

791
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,320
don't keep track of Those things. I'm getting, of course,

792
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:13,679
YOU know i think our, Flagship Station wildcats radio twelve

793
00:37:13,679 --> 00:37:15,760
guy that they have. An app you can listen to

794
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,400
that pretty. Much anywhere that's THAT'S what i tell people to.

795
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 3: Go to have you been overall has the u of,

796
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,360
a family the, alumni base, The administration have they been

797
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,119
happy with the move FROM the pac twelve To the

798
00:37:28,119 --> 00:37:30,480
big twelve or is there's still kind of nostalgia kind of,

799
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:34,639
like this, you know kind of sadness that lingers over

800
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,559
THE former pac.

801
00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 6: TWELVE affiliation i think the administration is fine with it because,

802
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,840
you know they made the, move early even though that,

803
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,760
You Know Deasuary rie francois was the ad now was

804
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,400
not in charge.

805
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:51,119
Speaker 10: When the move. Was Made dave heke made, that switch

806
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:54,079
and he gets all the credit because, you know WHEN

807
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:56,719
the la schools left and then of course word Was

808
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,199
at Oregon and washington. We're going dave, was very very

809
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,760
aggressive and making Sure that arizona landed in the right

810
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,679
place and they did not want to end Up Like

811
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,119
washington State In oregon state and kind of floating out

812
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:13,159
in the. Wilderness there AND so i think the administration's

813
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,679
very happy with where. They'd, Landed guys i've been AROUND

814
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,400
when i was a. Little kid i'm dating. Myself here

815
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,800
it was The pack ege And so i've seen. IT

816
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,519
all i was. EXTREMELY sad i still miss the rivals

817
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:31,960
that we had in The the pac Twelve and i'm

818
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,400
still getting used to the big twelve cities and the.

819
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,599
New rivals but, YOU know I think i think the

820
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:40,519
fan base is still adjusting to, it well but they're

821
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:42,119
getting used, to it and, you know you don't have,

822
00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:44,440
a choice and THAT'S what, I, said hey we don't

823
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,239
have a choice. In this let's just go have, some

824
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,360
fun no doubt.

825
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,480

we don't have a pregame, basketball show but just to

875

give you guys as we close out the last couple, Of,

876
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,960
Minutes look arizona hasn't played a true, top fifteen top

877
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:03,559
twenty five. Road environment They, played neutrals they played. At

878
00:41:03,599 --> 00:41:05,920
home those, are great you, need those they have. Been

879
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,039
TESTED but i Think the marriott it's a hard place

880
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:12,039
to want to remember THE Former bau cougar that. Is

881
00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:14,079
now the radio analysts for The horn, frog Said The

882
00:41:14,119 --> 00:41:16,440
maryriaut center is such a tough place, to win, You

883
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,360
know that's why it really hasn't been Done. In arizona

884
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,440
one last year they're five and fourteen when they come

885
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,679
when They played bau on, the road and the last

886
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,840
two times they have won, in PROVO but i do

887
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,679
think that. Ends tonight they have a Generational talian aja

888
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,880
debonsa top. Two pick they have the. Other guys necessarily,

889
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,559
they're bigger, they're faster longer than. More athletic they can

890
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:37,159
match up Well When kevin young demands respective rebounds and

891
00:41:37,519 --> 00:41:39,960
those guys that. Will Happen k bacada is a. TONE

892
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,400
setter i think he will set. It immediately it's going

893
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,199
to be, sold out it's going to, be packed it's

894
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,440
going to. BE loud i Don't Think aja debons and

895
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,440
the leader that he is and the top king are

896
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,039
gonna let a performance of what just Happened on. SATURDAY

897
00:41:51,079 --> 00:41:53,239
down i do think other guys, get INVOLVED and i

898
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,800
do think they get. The victory score predictions. So difficult

899
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,920
this one's. High eighties i'll go, eighty eight EIGHTY. FOUR

900
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,599
byu i DON'T think i think that it. Goes crazy

901
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,760
both of these teams are very. Well versed when you

902
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,119
look at their bench and how they can, do it

903
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,039
they can do it. FROM anywhere i think They forced

904
00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:11,039
arizona take a lot. OF threes i think the number ben.

905
00:42:11,159 --> 00:42:13,559
Is twenty force them to take well fifteen. To twenty

906
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:15,840
force them to take fifteen to twenty threes with them

907
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,800
only making about six. A GAME and i think that's how,

908
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,079
you win and you win the, rebounding battle and you

909
00:42:20,159 --> 00:42:22,360
have to share. The basketball you have to share the

910
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,239
basketball and hit. Open shots you, do That put arizona on,

911
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,400
their heels get, the miriaut get the twelfth. Man involved

912
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,840
you know it's really six man because you know they got,

913
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,000
Five people so get the. Crowd INVOLVED and i think

914
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,400
the by you will knock off the number one team in.

915
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,159
The COUNTRY and i have, to say if They, defeat arizona, Get,

916
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:41,719
prepared ben because there's going to be some storming of, the,

917
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,199
court boom shock.

918
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 4: Of.

919
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 3: Luck yeah matchup PREDICTOR Per, espn analytics youuvea favorite fifty

927
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:13,119
Marriott center the rock is rising. And shouting, bottom line

928
00:43:13,519 --> 00:43:16,440
this is A good byu, basketball team maybe the MOST

929
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:21,480
talented byu basketball team ever to try it out onto

930
00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:23,719
the floor Of The. Marriott center they're taking on the

931
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,719
number one team in. The nation they've done. It before

932
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,119
it's only happened, once though where they knocked off the

933
00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:29,639
number one team in.

934
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:32,199
Speaker 2: The country can they do?

935
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,679
Speaker 3: It AGAIN with aj coming off a forty three point Game,

936
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,760
versus utah maybe he's got the eye on. The prize

937
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,599
maybe this is the Most motivated AJ's been all. Season

938
00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:48,280
long he signed up to Play at brigham because of

939
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,000
the formidable foes on, the schedule because he knew it

940
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,400
would be, a gauntlet because he knew he would have

941
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,039
to rise to.

942
00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: The occasion he'd have to pull out.

943
00:43:55,679 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 3: That dog, in Him the, mamba mentality right and you.

944
00:44:01,559 --> 00:44:05,840

946
00:44:09,639 --> 00:44:13,239
huntsman he took, it personally and especially coming.

947

Speaker 2: Off the loss on the Roads To.

950
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:26,400
