played for the Cougar's back in the day.

61
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:47,800

Speaker 7: Hey, guys, I.

66
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,159
Speaker 8: Think I'm feeling some like flu like symptoms or it

67
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,080
might be cramping.

68
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: It could be a hamstring.

69
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 8: Oh no, an ESPN stats guy's texting about it, and

70
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,000
now everyone's tweeting about it. Oh gosh, dude, this is

71
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:07,319
this is not a good look for me. But it's

72
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:09,240
okay because you're still gonna have a really good show today.

73
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,719
But yeah, these flu lipe symptoms. I know you don't

74
00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:13,599
hear it in my voice, but they're just going crazy

75
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,400
right now. I have to load manage myself. See like

76
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,240
here at ESPN the Fan, we're built different. Ronnie pushing

77
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,439
through the flu game the flu show. You know, Bret,

78
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,120
I think you pushed through a little bit. You push

79
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,159
through a few flu flu a sinus infection shows more

80
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:30,000
than Darren Peterson.

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you had two under your belt before.

82
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,639
You're like, I'm gonna do I'm gonna work from home

83
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,719
because it's getting pretty bad.

84
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 8: And I was like, I don't want to get everyone

85
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,159
else sick. But the difference between me and Darren is

86
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:39,400
I don't.

87
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 7: I don't.

88
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 6: Brent has to have a couple this year, but Darren

89
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,439
has zero.

90
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 8: You know, we're aj literally in the post game the

91
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,759
other day post and he's sick. And this was like

92
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,800
two weeks after he was already sick, and then Darren's like, oh,

93
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:55,520
you know what, I'm just not feeling like going today.

94
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: So I dude, Bill.

95
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:03,039
Speaker 8: Self deserves like he are genius of the year because

96
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,199
he does these interviews.

97
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if you guys caught it.

98
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 8: He did an interview with Scott van Pelt last night

99
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,360
and he's like, oh, yeah, man, we found out five

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,159
minutes before tip that he was sick and he really

101
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
wasn't able to play. I'm like, man, Bill, you do

102
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,720
these interviews and you do a really good job of

103
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:21,120
not letting it slip that he is bull bleeping everybody

104
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:21,600
right now.

105
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,319
Speaker 5: It's crazy, It really is that Darren Peterson saga continues

106
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,560
to like get headlines when I mean, all you have

107
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,240
to do is just, you know, just tell the truth, right,

108
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,399
Why do you have to get into this PR game?

109
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,000
And furthermore, right there was an ESPN staffer that was

110
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,639
doing stats that I apparently had received information about the

111
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,360
Darren Peterson situation, and he he was being filmed at

112
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,079
the time by someone behind them.

113
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: They focus in on the text. I feel bad for

114
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,199
the ESPN staffer.

115
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,399
Speaker 5: He's just kind of communicating to whoever his internal team, right,

116
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,439
and and someone video records it and puts it on

117
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,279
social media.

118
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 7: Uh.

119
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:10,319
Speaker 9: And the the the text, if I'm not mistaken, uh

120
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
kind of threw Darren under the bus and shows him

121
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,319
that shows that he's kind of entitled and not communicative.

122
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,079
Speaker 5: And Bill self is, uh probably had enough to hear

123
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,800
with with Darren Peterson. And it's not a good look.

124
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,079
It's not a good look for for Darren Peterson. And

125
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,560
it's going to it's going to impact your draft. It

126
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:33,480
has to write. If it doesn't, then you have a

127
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:36,439
lot of gms and scouts that just don't care about

128
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:41,920
mentality anymore. They care about potential, uh productivity.

129
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:42,639
Speaker 3: Uh.

130
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: And like I said, this is a Kawhi Leonard thing.

131
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,920
Like I love Kawhi fantastic, but he got to the

132
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:52,199
point where he was load managing and he was just

133
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,120
not bought into the team. And he has leveraged that

134
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,279
and leveraged that and leveraged that that that that kind

135
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,079
of that one or two seasons of Great News into

136
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:05,040
a fantastic life of Monetary Blaze without having to produce

137
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,680
a whole lot afterwards.

138
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,399
Speaker 6: Man, can I jump in here and I just want

139
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:10,600
to say this in general of this, and I think

140
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Brett would agree, and you would. We saw this happen

141
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,959
with a certain BAU social media person who got filmed, right.

142
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,399
Speaker 1: And this also happened Virginia Tech.

143
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,079
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know how the James Franklin news got

144
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,040
leaked because there was a girl photo shopping the incoming

145
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,199
images of like welcoming James Franklin and so like, shout

146
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,199
out to people in athletics, y'all got to get screen

147
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,360
covers because.

148
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: That's gonna say.

149
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say, private privacy screens. You guys

150
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,160
gotta look text on your phone, not your laptop. And look,

151
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,199
I've sat next to the b A social media people.

152
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,399
They do a fantastic job. They're good people. But I

153
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:46,000
felt bad because yes, not a good look, but also

154
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,279
like that, like those are these are private moments and

155
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,680
you can't go anywhere now, Ben, everything's filmed. So to

156
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,680
everybody out there, ESPN staff people, if you're sitting at

157
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,879
the scores table, if you're close on the road, it

158
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,839
seems like it's happened on the road. At home, you

159
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,519
gotta watch out because people are looking to go viral.

160
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 5: So he's he's sick and didn't tell anyone in practice,

161
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,480
and Bill said, don't half a it, half has it.

162
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,120
If you're gonna, if you're if you're gonna play, if not,

163
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,360
sit DP said f and I'm out. That's the text

164
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,240
that was essentially the text that was sent.

165
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,519
Speaker 8: And then you have the tweet from the Kansas ADP. Yeah, so,

166
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,279
Daniel Burke.

167
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: Then seventeen hours ago quote tweets had said the person

168
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,120
texting in this video, who is a contracted crew worker

169
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:35,399
who handles official stats during the game for ESPN, he

170
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,399
does not work for Kansas and he's not affiliated with

171
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,480
the Athletic Department in any way. He has no insider

172
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,839
information and was speculating we are handling internally.

173
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 8: I don't think you can guarantee and say he does

174
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,120
no because I so, because I had a time in TV,

175
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,040
I've sat on these rows, I've done the independently contracting

176
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,720
while you're working in a game at a university. I

177
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,160
don't think you can definitively say he doesn't have inside information.

178
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: You can say he doesn't.

179
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:02,959
Speaker 3: Work for us.

180
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'll tell you this, these guys are talking

181
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,160
to everybody on that row, and more times than not,

182
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,079
you've worked enough of these games before that you're friends

183
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:12,959
with a lot of these people, So you do have

184
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,519
inside information, you just don't tweet it out because that's

185
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,759
not your job and that's not who you are.

186
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 7: He I don't.

187
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,199
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously we can't verify this, but I don't

188
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,600
think it's fair for them to definitively say and honestly,

189
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:28,079
it doesn't make Kansas look good to say he doesn't

190
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,680
know what he's talking about. And then your last quote,

191
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:33,120
your last sentence in there, says we are handling internally.

192
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,919
Speaker 5: Well, if you're not worried messages, if you're not worried

193
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,440
that any of that information is true or verifiable, then

194
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:44,279
why are you eternally unless you know somebody did, because

195
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:46,840
also that information has to be true, then if you're concerned.

196
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:51,000
It reminds me of Mark Carlin quote tweeting Dennis Todd

197
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:53,759
about the Big twelve or the bit Pac twelve crumbling

198
00:08:53,919 --> 00:08:56,919
and that the Big twelve was ready to pounce, and

199
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,120
Mark Carlin says.

200
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: Give me a break, And that's what it breaks up.

201
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:02,440
In my opinion.

202
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: What's more absurd though, the fact that Darren Peterson pulled

203
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,519
h you know a d n P. That's a great

204
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,120
uh night that's a that's a great nickname. By the way,

205
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:16,519
for d the d N p uh and and Kansas

206
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,120
still won at fog Allen, still beat the number one

207
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,200
team in the country without their best player. You may

208
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,519
wonder if Bill Sell's like, look, we can do it

209
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,559
without them. I mean, this Kansas team is pretty gouch

210
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,919
stanging good. It doesn't make you feel maybe better as

211
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:34,879
a BA basketball fan, but pretty impressive. Nonetheless, what they

212
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:37,879
did versus u of a. Let's also welcome into the show. Uh,

213
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:40,840
the one the only g Man Brandon, see Gurney, what's up?

214
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: G Man Man?

215
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:45,399
Speaker 10: If fans just knew what went on behind the scenes

216
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,159
with team the teams they love, I think it would

217
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:48,919
be a shock.

218
00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to know how the sausage

219
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:52,960
is made.

220
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 10: There is so much stuff, and I'm not privy to

221
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:58,080
even most of it. I don't believe most years, but

222
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,960
I get a lot of inside information, particularly about the

223
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,080
football team. But I don't think I even know twenty

224
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:06,879
I think I maybe twenty percent.

225
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,399
Speaker 3: There's probably eighty percent.

226
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:14,519
Speaker 10: Phone calls from parents, fights, sid turmoil. There's a lot

227
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:16,120
of stuff, guys. I'm just telling you.

228
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: It's coaches have a very very tough job.

229
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 5: There's a lot of nuanced, there's a lot of subtlety,

230
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,960
there's a lot of you know, everybody wants to show

231
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,720
up to work and you have your SOPs like this

232
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:30,720
is all I do. To give me my job description

233
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:32,159
and I'm gonna cross off the to do list and

234
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,519
then I'm.

235
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:33,039
Speaker 1: Gonna clock out.

236
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 5: Very few jobs in sports, uh uh in athletic departments

237
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:42,600
are that way. And I don't even say corporate America,

238
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,799
like in general, like you have to be flee to

239
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:49,240
foot in like in typically like high paying, highly competitive environments.

240
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:51,840
Like if you have any anyone's working in the medical industry,

241
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,080
working clinic, like it's it's super nuanced. Sometimes yes you

242
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,639
have SOPs, but there's always something nuanced and subtle. You

243
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,360
know that the way in form and fashion what you

244
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,120
bill the diagnoses like it's a chaotic thing, and that

245
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,879
doctors are in the o R. It can get pretty crazy.

246
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:12,120
So like I would say, highly competitive, highly nuanced, you

247
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:16,960
know businesses, Uh, it's everybody wants like these like standard

248
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:19,039
SOPs and like be able to make a lot of

249
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,279
money in the world. It it doesn't exist, Like I

250
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:23,960
talk to these people all the time. They want to

251
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,600
work forty hours a week and I want to make

252
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,320
one hundred and fifty to two undred thousand dollars. I'm like,

253
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,720
I don't know, Like, you're not gonna be working forty

254
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,120
hours a week doing that, like you know you typically

255
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,279
you're gonna have to be working sixty eighty you know,

256
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:36,919
hours a week to be making that type of money.

257
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:39,879
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. As a gig like that is Gary Anderson.

258
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 10: He's got his op right, Well yeah, yeah, why do

259
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,840
you think Gary Anderson is just like Nope, I'm good.

260
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,399
I've been I've been on the grind for thirty plus years.

261
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:54,159
I'm good with what Kilane lets me do. Clock in

262
00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:56,840
I mean, doesn't even have the cla He basically shows

263
00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:57,200
up at.

264
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: Leaves when he wants. He's Gary Anderson, who's gonna tell what?

265
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,120
He's a genius.

266
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: That's why, that's why I didn't go to Michigan.

267
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 10: That's why he's still in provo and and this is

268
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:07,559
the I mean props.

269
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:12,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, he deserves all of it. Yeah, yes, indeed, crazy times. No,

270
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,720
I do think you're right though, I think it's important

271
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,679
for like Bayu fans. I realized, like, you know, you

272
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,000
probably don't want to know how the sausage is good?

273
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,159
Speaker 7: Me?

274
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 6: Can I play a sound clip though of all of this?

275
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,399
Speaker 1: Didn't tell this from yesterday? But what's that? What do

276
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:24,960
you want to do here?

277
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 6: Right, Tommy Lloyd? I want to play a sound clip

278
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:29,399
of this whole thing because I just remembered this from

279
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,320
last night. This is a great soundclipse. It's thirteen seconds.

280
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,039
I think it's great. Let's listen really quickly.

281
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:36,279
Speaker 4: About ten minutes for the game.

282
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, got guys, Kansas is a hell of a team.

283
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: Let's not make this about Darren Peterson.

284
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: He didn't play because he was sick.

285
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,519
Speaker 1: They beat the number one team in the country at

286
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,840
home tonight. They did a hell of a job and

287
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:50,200
their coach did a hell of a job. That should

288
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,679
be the story.

289
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,919
Speaker 5: There you go, So he's reprimenting us. We're talking about DNP.

290
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,200
Shouldn't the story shouldn't be around DMP. It should be

291
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:05,039
about this team coming together in perfect harmony on their

292
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,080
home court, beating the number one team in the country.

293
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,799
You of a who has been in fuego doing something monumental,

294
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:14,120
doing something that rarely, if ever happens in college basketball,

295
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:16,120
being undefeated through twenty three twenty four games.

296
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,399
Speaker 1: That's insane. Last team to.

297
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 8: Do it was that Kentucky team that we all remember.

298
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the best, if not the best teams

299
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,559
in college basketball history.

300
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 10: I think there's definitely a top tier for Big twelve

301
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,840
basketball this year, and b Way he's not in it currently.

302
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,679
It's you got Arizona, Kansas, Yeah, Houston.

303
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: Are we put in Iowa State in that time?

304
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:37,039
Speaker 1: They're definitely trending that direction.

305
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think those four and then everything else.

306
00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:43,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's more divided than I've seen since b Way

307
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,519
he's been part of the conference. Yeah, I think there's

308
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,519
a definite top four and I don't think there's any team.

309
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:53,639
It's like, no, no, no, that's your four teams at

310
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:56,080
least right now. I mean things can change. We'll see

311
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,960
b Way you can get in there. But yeah, there's

312
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,759
there's a definite top four right now.

313
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: We got the rest of our ESPN the Fans starting lineup.

Complete circuit Electric, Complete circuit Electric utah dot com. All right,

358
00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:23,639
so we're getting prep getting ready for this BYU Baylor

359
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:25,399
matchup a must win game.

360
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I did ask this question to Kugarnation yesterday.

361
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,759
Speaker 5: We didn't delve into it too much, but it's gotten

362
00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:33,000
some run, a lot of buevents chiming in on it. Jurney,

363
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,200
I'll ask you this question, Brett and Ronnie real quick

364
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,600
before we get into the sound. You know, it seems

365
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:40,039
like our supporting cast is is just not good enough

366
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,679
this year. Our brig three are triple combination. They are glorious,

367
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,320
they are tried and true, they are beautiful and look, yeah,

368
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,320
maybe one drops off one game, but you have two

369
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,720
out of the three that are typically getting buckets and

370
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,879
balling out. Okay, the supporting cast, which of these players

371
00:16:56,919 --> 00:16:59,200
from last year's team does b way you miss the most?

372
00:16:59,399 --> 00:16:59,879
Speaker 1: Is it Fu?

373
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:00,919
Speaker 3: Is it?

374
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: What Mag? Is it? Dollen Hall? Is it Trey Stewart?

375
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,319
Is it Trevin? Now?

376
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,519
Speaker 3: Who is it?

377
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: And why?

378
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:12,319
Speaker 3: I believe it's fos Loose really giving that different.

379
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 10: It's just because of the deficiencies you've seen inside just

380
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:17,720
recent nothing.

381
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:20,039
Speaker 5: Nothing, absolutely no that that's been and you had to

382
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,000
go to the G League to find someone to help you.

383
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,039
Speaker 10: I know I know where you're gonna I know where

384
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:25,920
what's gonna be the popular answer on this, But I'm

385
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,839
going Foos because I think what Foos could do back

386
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,079
to the basket, change it up, give teams a different look,

387
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,160
have to account for something different.

388
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:37,319
Speaker 3: I think b WAYU is sorely missing that this year.

389
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, because Kevin hasn't even become close to giving it

390
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,400
to you.

391
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on.

392
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,759
Speaker 1: Well, nor is it Doulah, nor is has anybody.

393
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 10: I mean, you know those centers that are just there,

394
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,160
kind of those mark eating types that are just yeah,

395
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,279
just go clog the middle, dude and pick up the

396
00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:53,359
garbage mark e.

397
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: No, that's essentially what they've become, right.

398
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 10: I thought I thought Kevin was gonna make he tries,

399
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,279
and he started the year very promising. I was like, yeah,

400
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,759
he's going to be a dude, and he's just falling off.

401
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:06,920
I don't know if he's heard or.

402
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 5: Well, remember he just have missing cushions early and that

403
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,559
that'll that'll set you back.

404
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 10: They need him to be a better presence inside. I

405
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:17,279
don't know if he can do it offensively. I don't

406
00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:19,279
know if he has that game. But to me, I

407
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:20,880
think the way you miss his fos and I know

408
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,279
people are gonna go triven now, but I'm going yeah.

409
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,279
Speaker 5: I think the biggest qualm I have is like, there

410
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:30,039
hasn't really been progress in productivity from last year to

411
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:32,599
this year from the bigs, like you haven't seen progress,

412
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,000
and so I think that's a really good take.

413
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: What do you got for me? Bred always bringing the

414
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,599
hammer hammer time show? Well, I'm not gonna pick this guy.

415
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 8: But I do think there's a lot of people who

416
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:44,079
are now saying, oh, we miss Dallen Hall, and I

417
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:46,200
would like to push back at those people because when

418
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,920
Dollen Hall left, a lot of BYU fans were like, good,

419
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,839
so defend the perimeter.

420
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: He thought he was going to be better. It's a

421
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,359
good thing he's gone now. I just feel that way.

422
00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:58,519
But I do think there were a lot of I

423
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,279
was like, the.

424
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,319
Speaker 10: Only guy this that b way you it's probably gonna

425
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:09,640
miss you know what, laughed at Ronnie Criddle, everybody, even

426
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:11,880
mister old school basket.

427
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the check table one.

428
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: Come everybody, everybody.

429
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,759
Speaker 8: I don't know who was in it, but the p

430
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,200
everybody was definitely yeah, we're gonna be better off, without doubt,

431
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,119
And I don't know that that's the case. Now, my

432
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,599
answer is not down Hall. My answer is mo mag

433
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,640
I do I mean his three deal was unreal. I

434
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000
think he was the unsung hero of the team all

435
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,839
season long, never got the credit that he deserved until

436
00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:39,039
he won that game for them in the tournament on

437
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,680
Tom Jay.

438
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: I think part of.

439
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 8: The issue with this team, man, is that team say, Okay,

440
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,920
we're gonna take away one guy, we're gonna guard the

441
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,400
other two. We're gonna double, and you're not gonna kick

442
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,920
to anybody else because we're not afraid of them, and

443
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,079
you don't believe that they can help you either. So

444
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,480
that's why you see Aj knows if he gets double,

445
00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:00,839
he has one option. They go to that option, which

446
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,880
is either Rober Ritchie and then they'll leave you Abdullah

447
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,039
Ahmed or Keava or they they will leave those guys

448
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:10,920
because they don't think that you'll pass them the ball

449
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,160
because they know that you won't. And I think a

450
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:15,920
guy like Mowitt, I mean, if if Canards stepped up,

451
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,440
I think that really severely shifts how defenses guard you.

452
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:24,799
But I mean, man, Mowitt was as solid as it gets,

453
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:27,960
and I think this team misses him, especially dude defensively

454
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,519
that's one of the biggest issues with.

455
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: This team is like they actually can score.

456
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 8: The problem is they can't slow anybody else down enough

457
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,799
for those points to matter. I I think Mowitt to

458
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:37,599
me is my answer.

459
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:38,519
Speaker 1: I'm baddie who you got.

460
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 6: I mean, that's a great take from from Brett. I

461
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,839
mean been I said yesterday and I'll repeat it. And

462
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,960
as I thought, I didn't looked at it because I'm

463
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,920
I'm looking at everything of okay, how could they stay

464
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,039
in games? The turnovers and everything. And I just want

465
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:52,960
to say, it was g Man and Seawan that said

466
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,160
that uh Dallen Hall will be missed. I didn't say

467
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,960
that BYU would be better off. So yes, you did.

468
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:04,319
I meane Sean does not like I'll just say it.

469
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:08,119
Sewan does not like when b YU guys leave and

470
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,160
go elsewhere. This whole nar like, you know, the nil

471
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,720
all of that. He doesn't like when they're gone and

472
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,720
be like all right, well that's it better. He does

473
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:16,720
not like that because he's like, you're that guy. You're

474
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,799
gonna you got that guy for a reason. Anyway, my

475
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,359
point of what I'm saying is I did say it

476
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,240
was gonna be an upgrade. Rob right, I did think that,

477
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:25,200
didn't say it'd be better off, because that's my that's

478
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,400
my pick is this team needs a Dallent Hall. This

479
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,559
team does not have a pass first point guard, not

480
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,039
point forward, pass first point guard. In the Oklahoma State game,

481
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,480
when Rob is turning the ball over, when he's struggling

482
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,440
to defend a little bit, yes, Dallon did struggle defensely,

483
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,440
but when you're six four, when you're two hundred pounds,

484
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:43,640
you can operate in the pick and roll even with

485
00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:46,440
k buta Dallen was great. He could steal through that,

486
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,160
and they they don't have that like that would take

487
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,920
pressure off because you know what, when you got a

488
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,200
guy who's so dynamic and he his skill sets go

489
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,359
downhill and he can't really pass. When you have a

490
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,440
guy that's like slowed up, I'm gonna back it up, relax,

491
00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:00,359
give the ball to AJ who's willing to defer like that,

492
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,960
you need to slow the game down. They had that

493
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,160
in Dallen Hall. They had that in three zero, who

494
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480
could still hit threes, who was still big enough to

495
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,039
get you on this hip and get to the basket.

496
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:11,480
They're missing that, you know, in that combination of Fouso

497
00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:14,680
to me, Look, they have no backup guard. So because

498
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,759
they have no backup guard, and you got a Lexi

499
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,200
coaches out there, you're telling me that Dallan couldn't put

500
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,319
more minutes and do better.

501
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,519
Speaker 3: Than Lexi coaches. Right now, I would have to disagree.

502
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 6: I think Dallan could, so for me, I think they're

503
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,480
missing with the injuries right now, and that's obviously specific,

504
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:30,160
but I think it's Dallen Hall right now who I

505
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,920
think they could use big time.

506
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: Then.

507
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 6: I mean that would take so much pressure off for

508
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Rob where he might be able to play a little

509
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:37,680
bit better and get a breather because he's playing thirty

510
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,720
five plus minutes a night.

511
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 5: All Right, I'm gonna take the unpopular opinion here. I'm

512
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:44,039
taking Treppin down.

513
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you why I knew you were going.

514
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,319
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad answer.

515
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 6: Of these answers are bad.

516
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 8: Honestly, I would love to see how many minutes Trey

517
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,240
Stewart would play on this team.

518
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,599
Speaker 1: Like I agree, I think he'd be playing a time where.

519
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was in late in the season, he

520
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,440
was hitting the standing three much more effectively.

521
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,759
Speaker 1: Even though he is he looked like Bill cart right,

522
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:06,839
but at the point guard position. You guys don't know

523
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Bill cart Right.

524
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,759
Speaker 5: You know Bill cartt right like one of the worst

525
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:12,119
forums I've ever seen, but could hit anyway.

526
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:16,759
Speaker 1: Trevinell from February first through.

527
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 5: March twenty seventh into the season, Okay, I think that

528
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,599
was like sixteen games, right, You had thirteen regular season

529
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,839
in the games, and then obviously you had the Big

530
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,200
twelve and.

531
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,559
Speaker 1: Then NCAA tournament games.

532
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 5: He averaged eighteen point nine minutes per game, eight point

533
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440
one points per game. He shot from the field forty

534
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,640
nine percent. He shot forty nine percent from the three

535
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,440
point line during that period. Now, where he lost it

536
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,920
was a little bit with the free throw attempts. He

537
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,640
wasn't taking a ton of attempts. He was only getting

538
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,319
to the line on occasion one attempt per game.

539
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,839
Speaker 1: But he was sixty percent. But it wasn't it wasn't impactful.

540
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,799
Speaker 5: He was taking five and a half shots per game,

541
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:55,079
and four of those were from the three point line

542
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,759
during that period, So he shot fifty percent taking four

543
00:23:58,839 --> 00:23:59,920
to three point shots.

544
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:01,079
Speaker 1: Okay, per game.

545
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,839
Speaker 5: You would have given him more about like you see

546
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,240
you take out Canar Davis right now and you throw

547
00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:07,119
in Trevin an out. Is he as good a defender, No,

548
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,440
but he became a really good He became a much

549
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,559
better defender and a much better rebounder offensively and eventsively.

550
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: And he was strong too, and he had some dog

551
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:15,359
in him too.

552
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: If Tony Pidia didn't give him a tea, he could

553
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,400
have just you know, goodness great.

554
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,039
Speaker 3: Anyone of the worst technicals I've ever seen.

555
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 5: Crevin Nell also averaged two point three rebounds per game

556
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,400
and one point sis per one point six is assists

557
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,720
per games, almost two sist and one steal per game.

558
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:33,359
So like I mean he had highs versus at ASU

559
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,160
of eighteen, he had fifteen versus Kansas. He had fourteen

560
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:40,720
versus Wisconsin in that NCAA tournament game. So bench scoring,

561
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,720
floor spacing. I mean, I think he had starts too

562
00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:46,319
during that time. Trying to think how many starts he had.

563
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:49,359
I mean, he was starting for most of that too,

564
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:51,119
so I guess he wasn't necessarily coming off the bench.

565
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,480
But like right now you're looking at I know, Mowat's

566
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:59,599
also a great choice. Mowatt to finish the season was

567
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:01,839
was very affect of very efficient. He played twenty five

568
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,720
twenty seven thirty one twenty three minutes per game. He

569
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,960
wasn't a score though, he wasn't scoring a ton. He's

570
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,400
six seven six zero points versus Houston, six versus Iowa State.

571
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,680
He did have nine versus Utah, and he had ten

572
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:16,400
versus Iowa State towards the end of the season in

573
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,559
the regular season, and.

574
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: That was a win.

575
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: That was an eighty eight eighty five double overtime win.

576
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:21,680
And he shot the ball.

577
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 3: He's okay.

578
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 5: He was one of four from the three point line.

579
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,359
I'm actually picking Trevin on this. I feel really confident

580
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,200
that you know, he's not a bad defender, who's actually

581
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,400
above average to good defender most of the time. He's

582
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680
picking off passes every now and again, one steep per game.

583
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:39,519
He's rebounding at two point three rebounds per game during

584
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:42,839
from February first to March twenty seventh, and he's shooting

585
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,799
fifty percent from the three point line. Trevin Noll is

586
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:49,279
the guy that you miss out of this crew in

587
00:25:49,319 --> 00:25:51,920
my opinion. But there's no wrong answers. I love the

588
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,240
food stake and I love Mawatt like I really do. Dallan,

589
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,000
I think you know that there's something to be said

590
00:25:58,039 --> 00:26:02,079
about Dallan. I think having another point guard off guard,

591
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,839
Dallan is maybe a better off guard than he has

592
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,640
a point guard. But he likes the ball in his hands.

593
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:08,920
I think he became a pretty good set shooter at

594
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,359
times last year. But he's only shooting thirty percent from

595
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,599
the three point line right now, by the way for Virginia,

596
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,519
so not great. So anyway, that's the take. Let's go

597
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:22,079
to break. We'll come back with some of the soundbites

598
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:24,759
from Kyan leading up we'll preview the BYU Baylor game

599
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,599

00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,039

673
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: You know what I've actually thought about this?

674
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:47,319
Speaker 1: You have now.

675
00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: I hate to say it. I think spring balls can

676
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,039
be kind of boring this.

677
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:54,359
Speaker 1: Year because everyone's back. You bite your tongue, everyone's back,

678
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,599
got acquisition. There's some questions.

679
00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 10: I still think there is, but it's relative to other

680
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,440
years and what I'm saying, is that's a really good

681
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,880
thing that it's gonna be boring. You want boring, boring,

682
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,759
you want things locked in. But but what position?

683
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:13,759
Speaker 3: I mean two? Everyone's back QB two. Yeah, I mean yeah,

684
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,319
but you're you're you're stretching a little bit. But but

685
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,119
what I'm saying R.

686
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,759
Speaker 6: Two No, no, okay, now I'm up sat R two.

687
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:23,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm not saying two is not a big story.

688
00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:24,519
Speaker 7: QB QB two.

689
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 3: You're leading with RB two. What else do you got?

690
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, so let's switch a QB two.

691
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 6: Then our offensive line, like you got to replace three guys,

692
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:35,599
like come on, like yeah, but yeah, four starters.

693
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: Wide receiver after Roberts come on now.

694
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, but I'm not saying there aren't storylines.

695
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,119
Speaker 1: That's what I heard. That's exactly what I heard.

696
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: That's what I heard.

697
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 8: Let's just run the tape back, let me go down

698
00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:50,079
real quick, and said there's no story.

699
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 6: No stories'll be boring.

700
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: I heard boring, direct, relatively boring.

701
00:30:57,559 --> 00:30:59,359
Speaker 10: Come on, you're looking at a guy that you used

702
00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:00,960
to cover this in spring press.

703
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 5: I know, like this is very convers We have another

704
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:07,079
we have another white defensive back.

705
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: What are we doing with it? What are we doing here?

706
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:11,440
Is that what you said the TVs subscribers.

707
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're not gonna have to depend on on the

708
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,079
mongoose anyway.

709
00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: No, but talking about when you've covered me?

710
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,559
Speaker 7: Not after all?

711
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:21,839
Speaker 3: Right?

712
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: Your line? Do your line? Well?

713
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: You you were inadequate? Adequate?

714
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:31,519
Speaker 7: Adequate?

715
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,839
Speaker 8: Is there a bigger backhanded compliment than adequate?

716
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,039
Speaker 3: One of the most adequate quarterbacks that's ever played for

717
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:43,000
the y U right here? I did, I dare say

718
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,920
more adequate than Darris Darris Wilson. I mean Danny Phillips.

719
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Danny Philip?

720
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, who am I more adequate than even Andreburg?

721
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Come on, you gotta give me more than that.

722
00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: Danny Phillips. Here's the guy.

723
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Come on, I bet, come on.

724
00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:03,279
Speaker 3: This is the most hated quarterback of you.

725
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:05,119
Speaker 10: I don't want to bring up his name because he's

726
00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:07,119
a nice guy and I think you gotta got a

727
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:07,559
bad rap.

728
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: You got a bad rap, right, we don't have to

729
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:09,680
go there.

730
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,799
Speaker 3: Then I want to mention him.

731
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,519
Speaker 10: I forget it yet, Remember I told you he was

732
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:16,240
like a flag barrel last year he brought it out.

733
00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:19,640
I said, man, that is the most hated quarterback and

734
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,000
be Way football history, and I asked a media guy

735
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,759
who I will not mention it, and he went off

736
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:24,599
for about five minutes.

737
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, let's talk some BAU basketball.

738
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,839
Speaker 1: Rob. Oh, Well, there you go, and there it is

739
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:35,000
to do it. I don't want to do it. I

740
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,160
don't want to say it. I'm not going to say it. Rodal,

741
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:38,759
I'm not.

742
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,599
Speaker 3: Gonna say it. It's because I forgot anyway.

743
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: Now you know why? You know?

744
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,839
Speaker 5: Literally, like when I when I had classes and there's

745
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,359
a big game that week, I would tell my my teachers.

746
00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:54,200
I'm like, I will not turn this project out of

747
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:57,519
the time. They're like, well why not? Like my name

748
00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:00,359
will be had for good or evil, dependent up on

749
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,000
how I play this weekend. The last name Crittle will

750
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:08,279
be in the the Annals of Eternity for BYU Athletics.

751
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,519
And I will not fall short this week, So I

752
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:13,759
will not be doing this homework assignment. I will turn

753
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:16,799
it in late next week and you can doc twenty percent.

754
00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:19,559
And they're like, Okay, thanks for the thanks for the Yeah,

755
00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:20,319
we'll do that for you.

756
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,799
Speaker 1: That's what I tell him.

757
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 5: I tell him, and I took a lot of c pluses.

758
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,400
I kept my GPA above three point I did. I

759
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,000
did graduate, by the way, with a three point five

760
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:32,960
from Brigham Young University, so I did keep it up

761
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,119
high enough. But I would take deductions many times so

762
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,200
that I my name was not had for evil in Cougarnation.

763
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,079
Good job, right, and I would be labeled.

764
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: As a very adequate corner.

765
00:33:46,359 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: I guess it could be worse.

766
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like for like the Cougar board fans, like they

767
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:57,519
just think like Brian Keel who was playing strong side

768
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,079
linebacker whatever strong side outside linebacker was literally covering the

769
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:06,559
weak side for Ben Krittle so that he didn't give burned.

770
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:11,280
Was all over he was playing safety corner and like

771
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,719
Ben was just you know, fifteen yards off just playing.

772
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,519
So they really believe this hammer times, Like this is

773
00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:18,119
what I deal with.

774
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 10: You know what's funny about this is I've listened to

775
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,679
conversations between you and Cameron Jensen to know.

776
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 3: Kind of did do that.

777
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: He was kind of all over the place, not in

778
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:28,519
a good way.

779
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,559
Speaker 3: He just kind of did his own thing.

780
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,079
Speaker 1: He was he was very much a freelancer.

781
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: He did his own thing.

782
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. He would he was not gap sound.

783
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:37,079
He would just run and do it.

784
00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:40,119
Speaker 5: Everything just do it everyone and then we had that,

785
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:42,719
we had that, like every everyone behind him would have

786
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,719
to adjust to what he was doing freelancing.

787
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

788
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 5: So anyways, but hey, great player, obviously an NFL talent

789
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,320
and one of the best, you know, one of the

790
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,039
best athletes I've ever played with, no doubt.

791
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:54,119
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, great athlete. Well he got away with it.

792
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 10: I mean, there's not a lot of players that could

793
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,719
get away with that, Yeah, but kill definitely could because.

794
00:34:58,519 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: He's a freak athlete. Yeah, he was.

795
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: He was fantastic NFL talent, no doubt about it.

796
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,639
Speaker 5: Let's get to the sound Sawi BYU versus Baylor BYU

797
00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:08,800
basketball hits the road to face the Baylor Bears tonight.

798
00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:11,960
Number twenty two BOUFL six spots in the A People

799
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:15,159
and is currently twenty second in Ken Palm as well.

800
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:18,360
Tuesday night, it's gonna be the fourteenth all time meeting

801
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,639
between the two programs. BYU's four trip to Waco, second

802
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:23,519
since joining the Big Twelve. The Cougar's lead the all

803
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,920
time series seven to six, including two straight wins, their

804
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,480
longest streak in the series since a four game winning

805
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,360
streak from nineteen sixty two to nineteen seventy nine goes

806
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,760
back far BYU needed an overtime, needed overtime to defeat

807
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,039
the Bears in their only meeting last season. Remember what

808
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:40,960
happened that was the cannon catchings game.

809
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: And went off.

810
00:35:42,039 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 5: He was perfect from the field twenty three points in

811
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,360
a ninety three eighty nine victory in front of a

812
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,519
sold out crowd there at the Marriott Center. The freshman

813
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:52,000
was perfect eight of eight from the field, four to

814
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,079
four from three and three to three from the charity

815
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:57,800
stripe to fend off twenty eight points from VJ. Edgecombe

816
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,679
and twenty two from Rob Wright third. Remember happened that that?

817
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,079
That's why Justin Young, Kevin Young's director of recruiting, was like, well,

818
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:06,840
if he's in the portal, we should go get Rob

819
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,960
Right the third. It does seem And tell me if

820
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,159
I'm wrong, Remember look at all the acquisitions of the

821
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:15,639
transfer portal. Justin Young and the coaching staff and Doug

822
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,159
Doug Stewart, they went out and got guys that played

823
00:36:19,159 --> 00:36:24,320
well against by U, Nate Pickens, Tyler Maross, Rob Right

824
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,239
the Third, and you wonder, like, I'm not hating on

825
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,960
it by any means, but it seems like there's a

826
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:29,719
little bit of like.

827
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:36,119
Speaker 1: Bias towards like that one game. Yeah, you know, does

828
00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:36,679
that make sense?

829
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure, Like okay, I get it, like awesome, no, no, no, no,

830
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,400
But I'm saying, but marouss and we never saw Nate

831
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,559
Pickens because he's injured.

832
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: But you also yeah, yeah, I don't know.

833
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 5: Anyway, it's it's a critique, Like we're in critique mode

834
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,960
right now where we can we can constructively criticize the

835
00:36:57,039 --> 00:37:01,039
acquisitions that were the supporting cast particular, Right, we can

836
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:04,280
do that, right, It's okay, it's not We're not trying

837
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,840
to bring down the entire basketball program just because they've

838
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,079
lost fortret.

839
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,559
Speaker 3: That's kind of what we do. Want to talk radio.

840
00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but I you know, I'm just saying, like

841
00:37:11,559 --> 00:37:14,920
it's okay to be constructive, you know, and say, hey,

842
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:20,280
maybe this is an issue anyway. So BYU basketball looking

843
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,840
to get a win, get out of the funk.

844
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk with Ky, shall we.

845
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 5: By the way, the numbers right now BYU is b

846
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,000
what you favored in this game? I think yeah, they're

847
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,599
favored by one. It opened at one and a half,

848
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,440
now it's at three and a half.

849
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,079
Speaker 1: For the Cougs.

850
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 5: ESPN Analytics gives Boa a fifty six point eight percent

851
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
chance of victory. The Cougars are seventeen and six. The

852
00:37:44,039 --> 00:37:47,800
Baylor Bears are thirteen and ten. H thus far the

853
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,000
season in three and eight in the Big twelve, b

854
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:52,639
WAU five and five in the Big twelve. All right,

855
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,119
let's get to it, Khy the discussion from yesterday, just

856
00:37:56,159 --> 00:37:58,159
to follow up from Saturday, K why I did anything

857
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,840
stand out to you after look at the tape?

858
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 7: I mean the thing I was directly referencing on that

859
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,119
the question was asked about the rebounding. So you know,

860
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:12,480
Cable missed a blackout on the one segment where they

861
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:15,760
had multiple offensive rebounds. You know, one of them was his,

862
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,119
another one was a few of our guards leaking out,

863
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,079
and and that that was a moment that really hurt

864
00:38:21,159 --> 00:38:22,559
us in the game. I thought we also should have

865
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:24,880
done a better job with just like swarming the ball

866
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,039
after the young man uh secured the offensive rebounds. So

867
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:31,400
that that's what I was making, uh that comment on

868
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,239
As far as any other things that I saw on

869
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,400
the tape, you know, nothing, nothing surprised me. I thought

870
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,119
we actually did a great job with a lot of

871
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:42,000
the things that we were trying to emphasize heading into

872
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:45,960
that ballgame, and and it's just more of the same

873
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,920
in terms of, you know, coming up short with the

874
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,960
miss free throws and those key offensive rebounds. You know

875
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,840
that we missed. I think the probably the one thing

876
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,599
that stood out was they ran a specific action three

877
00:38:56,639 --> 00:39:00,719
times that hurt us. I wish we would have you know, yeah,

878
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,800
probably we could have adjusted better end game. I could

879
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,639
have called the time out and tried to fix that

880
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,880
so it didn't hurt us the two times following that,

881
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,719
and that's when they went on that they got a

882
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,639
little spread in the first half on us. In in

883
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:16,119
a game like that, you know, every possession is key.

884
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:18,280
So so that was something that I noticed on the tape.

885
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,280
But all in all, Matt, I thought we actually executed

886
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,159
our game plan well, but just obviously we're not able

887
00:39:24,199 --> 00:39:26,719
to capitalize with the misfree throws and some of those

888
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,639
key rebounds.

889
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 5: So good commentary from ky g Man. You want to

890
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,480
start us off there.

891
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 3: He sounded a little tired to me, a little exhausted.

892
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 5: Of course he's going to be standing up late, and

893
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,000
now's the time that I mean, it's late. It's in

894
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:47,159
February and you're losing games. Yeah, man, you're absolutely grinding.

895
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:49,039
And I think I think this is going to be

896
00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:51,199
the big lesson for him. And and I've had this

897
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,559
thought and it's pretty relevant.

898
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,519
Speaker 3: You remember how.

899
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,639
Speaker 10: Mark Pope started his Bway coaching career on fires like

900
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,000
oh wow, yeah, we're glad on to this guy. This

901
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:05,159
guy's got this everybody in tune. Then what happened after

902
00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:08,800
that kind of had to figure some things out. I

903
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,480
wonder if it's not the same exactly thing with Kevin Young.

904
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,639
I mean, last year's team there were some notable additions.

905
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,840
I grant that it wasn't so much the same team

906
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,679
that Mark Pope had his first year. Well he did

907
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:27,280
add guys like Toolsen and whatnot, But now he's kind

908
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,079
of out on his own. That foundation's gone. I mean,

909
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:33,400
Richie Saunters is literally well capplicated too. But Richie Saunders

910
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:38,199
really is the only guy that's returning. And you wonder

911
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,000
if that's going to be a process again where he's

912
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,440
gonna have to figure some things out.

913
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 3: You hope it isn't, because I've just been.

914
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 10: Looking at the pretext that that last season provided and

915
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,679
be when he came out ahead where they were last year,

916
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,079
and I just thought, boom, he's gonna hit it, and

917
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:57,760
you're just waiting, waiting and waiting. I think there were

918
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,159
positive things in the Houston game, and they can.

919
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 3: And there's still time.

920
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 10: That's the thing I just want to stress to everyone

921
00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:09,119
is you fix a few things with that talent B way,

922
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:10,599
you can still do things this year.

923
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 3: I really really do believe that. I believe that this

924
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,280
team could still be a Sweet sixteen team.

925
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 10: A final ward. That's a little tough, right, but but

926
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,679
I have confidence in Kevin Young. But but he's figuring

927
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:26,519
some things out right now. It's it's as far as

928
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:29,119
roster composition, what's going to work. It's going to be

929
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:31,559
a process. It was to think it was just going

930
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:34,079
to be smooth running that first year was probably a

931
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:36,079
little bit of a mirage, much like it was with

932
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:36,639
Mark Pope.

933
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,199
Speaker 5: Let's get to number numero dos. I like those comments,

934
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,679
g Man, coach, could you would you like to see

935
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,280
Keva Cada more involved in the pick and roll lob game?

936
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,679
If so, how do you get him a few more

937
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:53,000
lob attempts?

938
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

939
00:41:55,519 --> 00:41:57,559
Speaker 7: Not against Houston. I mean we didn't. We were trying

940
00:41:57,559 --> 00:41:59,679
to keep Tugler out of pick and roll in general.

941
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,280
So no against them in terms of on the whole, yes, uh,

942
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,599
you know that's where Jegor obviously was really good. I

943
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:10,679
mean the ones where we've connected this year is really

944
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,000
aj being the passer. Uh. You know, Rob puts so

945
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:18,559
much pressure on the defense. But obviously I think has

946
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:21,039
still more room to grow as a lob passer, which

947
00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:25,199
is harder because he's smaller. So I do think there's

948
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,519
where areas where we can get a j and and

949
00:42:27,639 --> 00:42:30,639
Caba more involved in that. But at the same time,

950
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,639
you know, CABE's got to finish her on the rim,

951
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,800
bottom line.

952
00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: Got to finish Keba.

953
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 7: Uh.

954
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,199
Speaker 5: Look, I found it interesting that he went really hard

955
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:42,920
at Abdullah in Keba.

956
00:42:43,079 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was interesting, like he's like,

957
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,199
you're being nice to those guys.

958
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 5: You know they were they were bad, they were atrocious.

959
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:53,239
They got to hit more shots, they gotta.

960
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 3: Have a They didn't make an impact, No, they.

961
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,639
Speaker 5: Didn't, unfortunately, So what do you do with those guys?

962
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:01,159
I've made this commentary like we haven't really seen him

963
00:43:01,159 --> 00:43:03,280
priors that, we don't know how good Abdullah was before

964
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,119
you ride. Keba has not improved from last year to

965
00:43:06,159 --> 00:43:10,159
this year. Has We don't know if Hadem has. I

966
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:13,519
imagine he's improved him, but he's he's kind of to me,

967
00:43:13,559 --> 00:43:15,199
he's kind of a tweeer between the three and a

968
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,320
four with no ability to shoot the three.

969
00:43:18,639 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

970
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 5: Like, like he can be a great defender because he can.

971
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,360
He can, he can guard two to the four, but

972
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,480
offensively he's challenged. All he can do is like rebound

973
00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:32,400
and putbacks. That's all he can do. That's all that

974
00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:36,679
in his offensive arsenal, that's all he has. So it's like, Okay,

975
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,599
the development of our bigs is an issue right now,

976
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,440
and so why is that right?

977
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: Why? Why is it?

978
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,679
Speaker 5: And like you're also willing to throw them under the

979
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:52,840
bus before anybody else. Like Canard was one of seven

980
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,800
from the three point line and shoots, you know, like

981
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,199
a broken Sean Marion, Like that's how he shoots. It's

982
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,840
just ugly and he's shooting thirty percent from the three

983
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,360
point line.

984
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,039
Speaker 1: He was dudo.

985
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, granted he was a good defender, but like it

986
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,119
would have been nice for him to hit at least

987
00:44:09,159 --> 00:44:10,320
one or two more of those.

988
00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 10: I don't know, they need at least for from that,

989
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,840
and he's not even closed.

990
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,119
Speaker 1: Well, you're not gonna get forty percent.

991
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 5: You need thirty five percent to stay in I take yeah,

992
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:19,920
forty percent.

993
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,159
Speaker 1: That's not like elite you need thirty five to stay

994
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:22,760
in games.

995
00:44:23,079 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 5: You need you know, if you're gonna take seven and

996
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,920
picking five, I mean, they're it's not like they're they're

997
00:44:28,119 --> 00:44:31,559
wide open too. It's not like it's not like Tuggler

998
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,960
was closing out on him and disrupting his mechanics in

999
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,519
any way, shape or form. Anyway, Let's get back to

1000
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,800
the sound bites. Uh kay, why Kevin and Rob Wright

1001
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,599
going back to Baylor. Have you talked to him about

1002
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:47,800
about already? Have you talked to that about him already?

1003
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,880
Or is he a mature season enough player where that

1004
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:51,960
doesn't really phase him.

1005
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:54,519
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm gonna I haven't talked to him about

1006
00:44:54,519 --> 00:44:56,880
it yet, but I will as we're getting ready here

1007
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,880
to take off. Uh yeah, I just kind of see,

1008
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:02,039
you know, kind of how he's feeling, you know what,

1009
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,039
in terms of like, you know, people saying stuff to

1010
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:07,440
him and him getting sideways. I don't see that. I

1011
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,519
think he's you know, he's got a great demeanor, but

1012
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,119
at the same time. You know, he poured a lot

1013
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:17,039
of blood, sweat and tears into that program, and I'm

1014
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:19,159
sure he'll have some kind of feelings headed back there.

1015
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:23,320
But yeah, I look, actually I'm actually looking forward to

1016
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,000
having that conversation with him.

1017
00:45:27,199 --> 00:45:30,119
Speaker 1: Uh. I believe rob was asked about this in the

1018
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:31,360
post game and he was.

1019
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 5: Just like, nah, I don't know, because he doesn't have

1020
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,480
any roots there. He's not from there. He's from the

1021
00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:39,199
East Coast and he comes out to Bailey. He plays

1022
00:45:39,199 --> 00:45:42,320
one year, balls out and he's a mercenary. Right, That's

1023
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,000
what it comes out in his entire his entire team left,

1024
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:49,239
so no ties there, none whatsoever. He's like, no, I'll

1025
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,480
just go play for by U. Right, he probably allocated

1026
00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:56,719
and probably the corporate U n Io sponsors. They they

1027
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,840
played a penny, pretty penny for for Rob Wright. They

1028
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,559
in in in Justin Young remembers very well, right, very

1029
00:46:04,559 --> 00:46:08,400
well what Rob Wright did to b YU the year prior.

1030
00:46:08,639 --> 00:46:11,079
So all right, let's get back into this. What stands

1031
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:14,239
out to you about the Baylor film.

1032
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, look, we all everyone understands what the

1033
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,559
Big twelve is. It's a hard league. You know, they

1034
00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:21,800
go almost get a win at Iowa State, and they've

1035
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,559
they've been in a tough start to the Big Twelve campaign,

1036
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,880
but winning in that building, as we know, is very difficult.

1037
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,599
So the fact that it was even a close game

1038
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:36,000
is impressive. But they Yeah, I think they have clear

1039
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,119
cut identity. You know, they do a great job of

1040
00:46:38,119 --> 00:46:40,639
offensive rebound, and they want to play fast and transition,

1041
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:43,519
and they've got a couple of guards who are really dynamic.

1042
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:50,239
And then the young the freshman Tune Day is a load.

1043
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,599
You know, he's a he's a you know, an NBA

1044
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,360
lottery level type of talent, and guys like that can

1045
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,320
go off any night. But but in terms of Baylor,

1046
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,199
specific to their team, I think we got to do

1047
00:47:02,199 --> 00:47:03,599
a good job on the glass and do a good

1048
00:47:03,679 --> 00:47:05,079
job with our transition defense.

1049
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 10: Thoughts there, g Man transition defense, Yeah, that's got to

1050
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,719
be a thing. Uh, and to prevent transition to not

1051
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,079
don't put yourself in a transition defense predicament, you know,

1052
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,119
which often happens when you're missing three pointers. So, I mean,

1053
00:47:25,159 --> 00:47:27,639
it all works together. Everyone knows that with basketball. But

1054
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:30,039
but yeah, b Way's got to get this. I can't

1055
00:47:30,039 --> 00:47:34,119
stress that enough. This has to be a win, absolutely,

1056
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:38,000
has to be winn. I never felt that strongly in

1057
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:42,960
this game. Baylor's get good team. Definitely gettable.

1058
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 3: You need to.

1059
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 5: Be Baylor hammertime show anything from you, anything you've been

1060
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,079
thinking about as you're listening to Ky here.

1061
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,559
Speaker 7: This feels like Oklahoma State.

1062
00:47:51,639 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 3: To me, it feels like, oh my goodness, transition.

1063
00:47:57,599 --> 00:47:59,639
Speaker 8: And that's what I'm saying. I'm not necessarily saying like, oh,

1064
00:47:59,639 --> 00:48:02,519
it's a gay garanteed loss. I'm just saying, you're coming

1065
00:48:02,559 --> 00:48:05,480
off a game against one of the best teams in

1066
00:48:05,519 --> 00:48:08,559
the Big Twelve. You're playing against the Baylor team who's

1067
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:10,000
a little chaotic in that.

1068
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:12,199
Speaker 1: It's not that they have an issue score in the basketball.

1069
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 8: They just they have a little bit of issue stopping

1070
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,280
others from scoring the basketball. They're trending in the right

1071
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,960
direction because of what they did with Iowa State just

1072
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,920
not too long ago. And again, like Ron said, the

1073
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,239
transition defense, they're very good in the transition game. This

1074
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,719
feels and again it's like it's another trap game, it's

1075
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,199
another must win. This feels like oh Baylor all over again.

1076
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:37,719
But now the difference is you get an opportunity to

1077
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,880
rectify that and put yourselves back on a good track.

1078
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:43,599
Speaker 5: And by the way, Baylor is better rated in Ken

1079
00:48:43,639 --> 00:48:47,400
Palm than Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State Baylor's thirtieth in offensive

1080
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,800
efficiency and their eighty eighth in defense efficiency. Oklahoma State

1081
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,079
right now sixty first in offensive rating in eighty fifth

1082
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:55,920
in defensive ratings.

1083
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 10: Well, one thing I do think that's going to be

1084
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,679
different than the Oklahoma State game is I think the

1085
00:48:59,679 --> 00:49:00,320
team's can be.

1086
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,639
Speaker 3: More engaged from the get go.

1087
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,079
Speaker 10: That Oklahoma State game, it just seemed like they weren't

1088
00:49:04,159 --> 00:49:07,840
in it in this old blase. Yeah it was bad,

1089
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:10,480
right then they close it half times like okay, they

1090
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,840
figured this out, and then you know, we know what

1091
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:12,840
happened in the second half.

1092
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 3: But I think BA is gonna come out stronger tonight.

1093
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I've been told.

1094
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,119
Speaker 3: I've heard Kelly say that.

1095
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Kelly. Shout out to Kelly. Kelvin.

1096
00:49:24,159 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 5: Samson praised how the crowd was at the Marriage Center

1097
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,079
in the Houston game. How much does the crowd play

1098
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:33,599
into and factor into the game.

1099
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: On the road, You know, I don't.

1100
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,559
Speaker 7: I don't really know honestly in terms of how it

1101
00:49:38,599 --> 00:49:41,400
affects the players. I mean, it's hard for me obviously,

1102
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,119
to get in their minds. I mean, I I just

1103
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,039
a million years ago when I played. I loved it personally.

1104
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,199
There was nothing more fun than going into a pack

1105
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,119
gym and getting a big road win. In terms of

1106
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:54,960
how it affects kind of where I'm at now and

1107
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,079
to see that I'm sitting in. You just have to

1108
00:49:57,079 --> 00:50:00,239
be more organized, thank you, and the point guard and

1109
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,599
your play callers have to be a little bit more

1110
00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:05,320
in line. It's super loud in these arenas. You know.

1111
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,199
When I first got into college, I would I could

1112
00:50:09,199 --> 00:50:12,159
not fathom that someone would write their plays on a

1113
00:50:12,199 --> 00:50:14,960
whiteboard and the show to players. I thought it was silly,

1114
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,480
But I see, I see why people do it now

1115
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,599
because it's so darn loud in these arenas. So I

1116
00:50:20,639 --> 00:50:23,239
think that that that actually it sounds silly to bring

1117
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,840
that up, but that that does factor into it, uh

1118
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,840
even at home, honestly, But you know, I just think

1119
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,079
it makes for fun environments, you know, even I think

1120
00:50:35,159 --> 00:50:37,159
I think even the away team at times kind of

1121
00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:38,719
feeds off of it. Like I don't know, if it's

1122
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,960
like an intimidation thing, I don't know. It just makes

1123
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,519
for like a great college basketball atmosphere.

1124
00:50:43,039 --> 00:50:47,119
Speaker 1: For me, it's gonna be a great one.

1125
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

1126
00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 5: You know, everyone's gonna play some of their best ball

1127
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,920
against BYU, it seems, and so expect that from the

1128
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,719
Baylor Bears. We saw a lot of hand signs in

1129
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:56,559
the Houston game.

1130
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,519
Speaker 1: Okay, why was that.

1131
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 5: To get the attention of everyone on and get them

1132
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:01,840
all on the same page.

1133
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:02,519
Speaker 1: What was up with that?

1134
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 3: Uh?

1135
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 7: I mean Houston, I was calling a lot more plays

1136
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:11,000
than I normally do. They're they're a historically incredible defense,

1137
00:51:11,039 --> 00:51:13,880
and I I just see teams. I mean, you have

1138
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,800
to be extremely dialed with what you're doing to attack them.

1139
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,599
And so that that's if you're referencing a Houston game,

1140
00:51:21,639 --> 00:51:26,039
that's why I was doing that in that game, and

1141
00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:29,360
then any other games, it's you know, it might be

1142
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,159
specific to whatever is going on there in that part

1143
00:51:32,199 --> 00:51:34,079
of the game. Maybe I see something I'm trying to

1144
00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:38,719
get us organized with or something in that mindset.

1145
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 5: So what's interesting is that with this commentary from k

1146
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,000
why like sometimes you let the your your your offense

1147
00:51:50,159 --> 00:51:53,280
just run right. You're not calling set plays in the

1148
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:58,480
in your half court sets. He was much more involved

1149
00:51:58,559 --> 00:52:03,039
in the schematics in the architecture of the offense, and

1150
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,559
I would say, versus Houston to me, and you guys

1151
00:52:06,599 --> 00:52:09,239
disagree with me if you guys saw something different. I

1152
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:14,840
saw plenty of open shots, and I would say semi

1153
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,679
contested shots. I felt like we got the looks that

1154
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:22,199
we wanted, we just didn't hit. That's how I felt like, Ronnie,

1155
00:52:22,199 --> 00:52:24,760
did you were there, did you see something different?

1156
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: Like I felt like we got open looks now Richie.

1157
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 5: Just Richie was getting hounded, but that was still those

1158
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,960
were the shots that they were looking for. They were

1159
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,559
just contested. But Richie's hit those too. Richie can hit

1160
00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:43,039
contested shots. There's times where I would rather have Richie

1161
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,559
maybe give a ball, fake a little pump, put it,

1162
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,599
put it on the on the on the on the floor,

1163
00:52:48,679 --> 00:52:50,559
and then maybe step back. I don't think he's got

1164
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,719
necessarily that in his arsenal right now. He's typically running

1165
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,480
off screens and then he's pulling up quickly.

1166
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:56,039
Speaker 1: Uh.

1167
00:52:56,039 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 5: He may like he may have to, you know, adjust

1168
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,000
to that and especially versus high level defenders. But I

1169
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,519
think for the most part, like we got looks that

1170
00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:04,800
we wanted, right, Yeah, b.

1171
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 6: A, you got the looks that they wanted. I mean, look,

1172
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,079
we've been talking about it all season, and you gotta

1173
00:53:09,079 --> 00:53:12,039
give Houston credit. They they threw three four five of Richie.

1174
00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:13,920
They said they were not gonna let the top king

1175
00:53:14,199 --> 00:53:16,360
uh beat him. They packed him up and sent him home,

1176
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:17,559
So you gotta give him credit for that.

1177
00:53:17,639 --> 00:53:19,199
Speaker 1: They got a little There was a lot of single

1178
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,639
coverage on him though, they just they.

1179
00:53:23,079 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 6: That was on the drives, right. But when they but

1180
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,920
they switched off, they did a phenomenal drop after screens.

1181
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,480
They switched everything been they played great single coverage. They

1182
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,079
weren't gona let him beat But I mean, Cannar two

1183
00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:34,119
of nine, one of seven, you gotta hit those, and

1184
00:53:34,119 --> 00:53:36,719
then I know that, you know, Kevin's going to the bigs,

1185
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,880
which he should, but Kannar can't have seven threes and

1186
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:44,000
only hit one. If he hits two, yeah, exactly, put

1187
00:53:44,079 --> 00:53:46,360
back three out of seven.

1188
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 5: I'll take that, you know, And then I'd put a

1189
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,960
little bit of like if I'm gonna do Piet Trader accountability,

1190
00:53:51,199 --> 00:53:56,320
like Richie probably needs a little bit of a sauce

1191
00:53:56,519 --> 00:53:59,760
in his arsenal, a little bit of wiggle in his

1192
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:02,559
in his game, and that's coming off screens, Like you

1193
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,000
gotta be able to you know, it's hard like I'm

1194
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,679
not like, I'm not like I'm maybe not a credible

1195
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,559
opinion as it pertains like what he should and shouldn't do.

1196
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,800
But you know, if you're if you if you're missing

1197
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,880
your contestant shots, you know, maybe it's a you know,

1198
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,679
you do something different than what you've showcased on film,

1199
00:54:21,679 --> 00:54:25,199
which on film, he's running off screens and he immediately

1200
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,559
he gets the balls in hand, he's pulling up, he's

1201
00:54:27,559 --> 00:54:29,360
pulling up. So maybe it's like a you know, a

1202
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,760
little ball fake step back cross and then you're hitting.

1203
00:54:33,039 --> 00:54:36,800
But that's you know, that's me being a little bit

1204
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,000
too picky. I'm just trying to get wins. I'm trying

1205
00:54:39,039 --> 00:54:43,079
to get wins against desperate I'm like the top six

1206
00:54:43,159 --> 00:54:45,360
teams in the in college basketball.

1207
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: That's all I'm trying to do. I'm trying to figure

1208
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:47,039
it out.

1209
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:50,079
Speaker 5: How is the overall morale of the group right now? Tho, Okay,

1210
00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:51,119
why a couple less things.

1211
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,199
Speaker 7: It's it's good, man, it really is. I I uh,

1212
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,960
And it's a great question because for me and I'm not,

1213
00:54:59,039 --> 00:55:01,920
I'm not. I'm not a moral victory guy, never have been.

1214
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,840
We should have beat Houston, should have, would have could

1215
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:09,039
have against all these other teams. I shouldn't say should have,

1216
00:55:09,119 --> 00:55:11,320
we could have? Right they beat us, let me be

1217
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,440
very clear. But you know, again I'm not a moral

1218
00:55:15,519 --> 00:55:17,480
victory guy. But I'm also a realist. I think I

1219
00:55:17,519 --> 00:55:22,559
think if you talk about Yukon, Arizona, Houston, and arguably

1220
00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:24,559
Texas Tech, I think any one of those teams could

1221
00:55:24,599 --> 00:55:29,840
win the national championship this year. And so the fact

1222
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,400
that you know, we've we've been in that we've given

1223
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:38,039
ourselves a chance to be all those teams, for me,

1224
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,880
there's we're not there yet. You know, we're still pounding

1225
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,880
the rock and that things is gonna break eventually. And

1226
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,840
that's kind of what I'm trying to teach our guys,

1227
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,000
where you learn from the losses, but you don't lose

1228
00:55:51,079 --> 00:55:54,119
confidence from the losses, and trying to, you know, even

1229
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,320
even in the wins that we've had, you know, trying

1230
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,000
to be a lot more you know, process driven as

1231
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:02,760
as opposed to results driven. You know, you still have

1232
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,679
to do that in losses as well. And so I

1233
00:56:05,679 --> 00:56:09,400
think that's the challenge of coaching, is the psychology piece

1234
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,079
of it, where we're doing a lot of good things,

1235
00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:15,079
We're just not doing them long enough or or hard enough. Now,

1236
00:56:15,079 --> 00:56:19,519
the Oklahoma State game was a travesty on many levels

1237
00:56:19,559 --> 00:56:21,519
in terms of how we played. It was a disaster.

1238
00:56:21,639 --> 00:56:25,840
We played horrible. Our defense was a joke. But I

1239
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,639
challenged a group a lot, and I think the way

1240
00:56:28,679 --> 00:56:31,519
they responded, you know, to a to a team in

1241
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:34,840
Houston who you know, don't are they better than their

1242
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,280
team last year who made it to the championship game?

1243
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,760
Maybe they might be, you know, And so again, I

1244
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,119
just want our guys to understand how close we are,

1245
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,920
but close isn't good enough, Like we got to still,

1246
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:49,440
you know, find ways to win. And it's my job

1247
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,800
to tow the line of keeping them confident and then

1248
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,480
having them learn along the way.

1249
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 3: Man Our defense was a joke.

1250
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 10: That's hers You won't hear a coach assesses team that harsh,

1251
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,920
especially in publics.

1252
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 5: And it it begs the question, like there's a philosophy

1253
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,280
out there that defense is more of a mentality than

1254
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,360
it is a skill set.

1255
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: And so if that's the.

1256
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,719
Speaker 5: Case, and you have you have built a culture around

1257
00:57:23,039 --> 00:57:28,199
professional basketball, is that reflective of the culture that you've

1258
00:57:28,239 --> 00:57:33,599
brought in? I think so, right, of Hey, we're offensive juggernaut.

1259
00:57:33,679 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: That's what we do.

1260
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:38,519
Speaker 5: We we can serve on the defensive end to illustrate

1261
00:57:38,599 --> 00:57:41,599
our potential and our our playmaking ability on the offensive end.

1262
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,679
And that that's what I said yesterday. It's like, all right,

1263
00:57:44,719 --> 00:57:47,440
if that's the case, don't even try to play man

1264
00:57:48,039 --> 00:57:50,679
and you may have to just go zone. Switch it

1265
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,920
up between two three zone and one three one. It's

1266
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,159
pick up a half court and let them rain down

1267
00:57:56,199 --> 00:57:58,880
threes on you. Let them do whatever, and like you're

1268
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,000
just conserving energy, like and hopefully someone can find a

1269
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,440
way on the supporting cast to hit you know what

1270
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:09,119
I mean, Like, I'm I'm to that point. It's like

1271
00:58:09,159 --> 00:58:13,079
if you if you can't change a zebra stripes, you know,

1272
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:18,320
they can't be happy as a hippopotamus, right, don't be

1273
00:58:18,559 --> 00:58:21,800
just be a hippo, Just be the hippo, be a fat, lazy,

1274
00:58:22,159 --> 00:58:26,760
zone defense hippo, and then be of an aggressive, you know,

1275
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:31,360
monster like carnivorous hippo on the offensive end.

1276
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:32,719
Speaker 1: You know that makes sense?

1277
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,079
Speaker 5: Do you know that hippos kill more humans, more people

1278
00:58:36,119 --> 00:58:38,719
than any They are beasts, but you know what I mean,

1279
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,920
And they're very fast, by the way, but I'm talking

1280
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,440
about in lazy hippo defensively, you know, lazy hippo like

1281
00:58:44,719 --> 00:58:47,119
kind of sitting there in the muck, you know, but

1282
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:51,440
offensively who they see a human, it's go.

1283
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,559
Speaker 3: Time as a te full of hippos.

1284
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you could be happy as a hippo. Just

1285
00:58:56,559 --> 00:58:58,639
know who you are and what you stand for and

1286
00:58:58,719 --> 00:59:02,000
return with honor from all. Right, last thing is the

1287
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:02,639
scoring right now?

1288
00:59:02,679 --> 00:59:03,199
Speaker 1: Sustainable?

1289
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:07,079
Speaker 7: K Why? No? I mean that's that's uh something I

1290
00:59:07,199 --> 00:59:09,440
noticed for sure when I when I got into college.

1291
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,079
It's like some of the I think more teams have

1292
00:59:12,159 --> 00:59:14,960
a tight rotation. And by tight, I mean they're playing

1293
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,400
seven guys than then than the other way, like what

1294
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,199
we did last year. So I don't think it's as

1295
00:59:20,239 --> 00:59:23,320
big of a deal, but I it's a bit. It's

1296
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,400
a how should I say, It's definitely on my mind,

1297
00:59:26,559 --> 00:59:29,199
Like we call it for what it is. You know,

1298
00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:31,519
we miss we need another guard to step up, and

1299
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:34,760
we miss Dawson, We miss Nate Pickings. Brody would have

1300
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,360
had a shot to come in and play because he

1301
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,360
can make shots. And so yeah, I mean we missed

1302
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,360
those guys. I don't I've never been on a team

1303
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,920
where three guys have been gotten hurt for the entire

1304
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,920
you know, and been out for the year. So I'd

1305
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,679
be lying to you if you said that we you know,

1306
00:59:46,719 --> 00:59:50,480
we we weren't sorely missing one of them, at least

1307
00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:53,079
Dawson or or Nate. And like I said, Brody would

1308
00:59:53,079 --> 00:59:55,760
have a chance too. But that's the cards we've been dealt,

1309
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,039
and it's my job to figure out and build up

1310
00:59:58,079 --> 01:00:00,159
somebody off the bench that can come in and and

1311
01:00:00,159 --> 01:00:01,639
give us a little bit of scoring.

1312
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:02,199
Speaker 3: You know.

1313
01:00:02,239 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 7: The hard part is the skill sets that are that

1314
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,559
are coming off the bench aren't necessarily exactly what we need.

1315
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,000
You know. I think having another sort of ball and

1316
01:00:10,079 --> 01:00:12,400
hand guy who can do a little bit of everything

1317
01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:15,000
is probably what we need more than anything. But we

1318
01:00:15,039 --> 01:00:17,800
don't have that, and and that's been uh, you know,

1319
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,599
it almost reminds me of when I was coaching in

1320
01:00:20,599 --> 01:00:23,039
the G League all those years, Like, you know, your

1321
01:00:23,079 --> 01:00:25,119
team changes and you got to be able to adjust

1322
01:00:25,159 --> 01:00:27,679
and figure things out. So yeah, that that's a that's

1323
01:00:27,719 --> 01:00:30,599
a I think for me, that's definitely a point of

1324
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:34,000
stress and and uh mental bandwidth that I'm really trying

1325
01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:36,880
to figure out. You know, the staff trying their best

1326
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,679
to offer suggestions, but you know, it's not a situation

1327
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,960
you want to find yourself in. It's not ideal. But

1328
01:00:45,159 --> 01:00:47,400
to to to the tone of your question, no, I

1329
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,679
don't think that that's the end all be all, you know,

1330
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,480
and and maybe it's you know, Jay, you asked me

1331
01:00:52,639 --> 01:00:54,519
a really good question about when I took a j

1332
01:00:54,679 --> 01:00:56,039
out of the game the other day.

1333
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:57,519
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know.

1334
01:00:57,599 --> 01:00:59,519
Speaker 7: I mean, I look at Baylor. They played four three

1335
01:00:59,519 --> 01:01:01,880
guys for forty minutes the other night against Iowa State.

1336
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,360
So is that something we should do right? So point being, Jays,

1337
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,840
I'm looking at everything. Man, I'm beating my head against

1338
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,719
the wall trying to figure out exactly the best way

1339
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,159
to attack that. I think what would make it the

1340
01:01:12,239 --> 01:01:14,920
easiest is somebody off the bench just came in from

1341
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,400
an offensive standpoint really and just made it very obvious

1342
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,199
like that. That's the person that needs to play a

1343
01:01:20,199 --> 01:01:23,480
little bit more. So we'll see, we'll see where it goes.

1344
01:01:29,039 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: Champion, no excuse's playing the champion. K Well, I don't

1345
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,360
hear about injuries.
