Aj De Bons almost 57 00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:26,000 going off for a forty burger. 58 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:28,199 Speaker 4: What happened last night in Wake Up? 59 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:29,759 Speaker 3: Man? 60 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: What a special performance from the freshman. And you know, 61 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,120 I know for BYU fans out there, it seems like 62 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,199 you guys have been growing accustomed to seeing that. But 63 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560 you know, it's just so such a special talent for him. 64 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840 And I've got a chance to watch him obviously on TV, 65 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,240 but sing him in person and seeing his physicality, his athleticism, 66 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,159 his lengs and his just overall talent was just a 67 00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:52,840 sight to see. And from early on at that game 68 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,120 in Waco against Baylor, and as I mentioned, you know, 69 00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:57,520 kind of before I'll talk to some other people. This 70 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:00,120 was a game that you guys know, by you desperately need. 71 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,039 It was a four game slot that they were on 72 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:05,000 that were going in the wrong direction. And obviously, right now, 73 00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,159 as we're getting into February and into March, you want 74 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,879 to be playing your best basketball, and overall BYU just 75 00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:13,080 simply had not been doing that. And they had an 76 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280 opportunity on the road against another desperate team like the 77 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,599 Baylor Bears, and they were led by as you Debos 78 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,240 who had thirty six. The Bears had no answer for him. 79 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,840 And then robis the third in his return. Now, let 80 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,199 me tell you, every single time he touched the ball, 81 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,680 foods rained down. From the moment they introduced him, he 82 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,439 was the clear building in the arena and he and 83 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,360 Aj Debossas certainly showed up and showed out, helping to 84 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,800 lead BYU to a victory, a great win for the 85 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:39,919 BYU couters. 86 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:44,479 Speaker 3: Well, what stands out to you about AJ's a skill set, 87 00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,000 his playmaking ability, you know, his body type. Well, what's 88 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,599 stood out to you about Aj when you got eyes 89 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:52,400 on you know. 90 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: What's funny is I feel like as we get through 91 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,360 this draft process and where there's so many great prospects 92 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,680 across you know, the country, it's easy a pick on 93 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,439 certain people, right and it's easy to pick on aj 94 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,960 De Bonson. I've heard some different things, but one thing 95 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:08,479 that is not lost on me is the fact that 96 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,639 this guy is eighteen nineteen years old and he is 97 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,719 able to get to his spots will and particularly at 98 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:17,759 the collegiate level, if you put a guard on him, 99 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,959 he's gonna shoot right over you. And talking to Kelvin 100 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,639 Sampson matter of fact, before Houston played BYU, he said 101 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,040 that the top four Frenchman he's coached against was like 102 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,160 Jason Kidd and Carmel Anthony and a couple of other people, 103 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,800 and he said aj Debosser reminds him of Kamarlo Anthony. 104 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,439 And we saw some of that even yesterday, where he's 105 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:37,040 just able to rise over smaller guards to shoot over you. 106 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,279 And then if you put a big on him, he's 107 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,399 just going to go right by you, use his athleticism 108 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,160 and get to the rim. And we see how he's 109 00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,319 able to tear the rim down as well. So seeing 110 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,480 that up close in person, you just see how much 111 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,399 he's a mismatched problem Kevin Young certainly was hunting that out. Yes, 112 00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:53,639 stay against the Baylor Bears, and then aj De Bonson 113 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,639 he came through and delivered, and just overall too his 114 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,439 ability to get to his spots and just be able 115 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,360 to live in the To me, once he gets two 116 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,639 feet in the paint and turns over that shoulder and 117 00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:06,160 he gets it up, it feels like a layup and 118 00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,720 you're a and if you're opposing defense, you're at the 119 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,000 mercy of aj Debance. And once again, that's such a 120 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,079 rare skill set to have at such a young age. 121 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 4: Who do you think. 122 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:19,759 Speaker 3: Goes first overall in this next year's NBA Draft? There 123 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240 was NBA scouts that were polled, twelve of them I 124 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,160 think there's twenty total, but twelve of them picked Darreon Peterson. 125 00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:28,279 This is a couple of weeks ago. Eight of them 126 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,959 picked aj Debonce. Where do you think who do you 127 00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:34,439 think is going to go first overall? 128 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: As always to guess, I still think it'll be Darren Peterson. 129 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,560 I know that a lot of people have been disappointed 130 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:43,399 in the way that Dan Peterson has Singley has just 131 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:45,519 sat out in a number of games, especially in some 132 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,160 games where his team is frankly any of them. But 133 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,000 at the end of the day, I think scouts know 134 00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,160 that when he gets to the next level at the 135 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,480 NBA level, that you know, the talent obviously speaks for itself. 136 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:58,480 We saw that when Cannas played YU and Darren Peterson 137 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:01,959 was absolutely sensational. I don't know how how much that 138 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,120 scout has actually worried about that because they know, like 139 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,079 you know, ultimately all these guys, for the most part, 140 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,199 these freshmen are won and done, and so their goal 141 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,120 was to get to the NBA level. But you know, 142 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:13,839 with that being said, if you look what what aj 143 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,240 Debosson has been able to do over the past, you know, 144 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,240 really the entire season, he's leading the country in scoring, 145 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120 and one thing you can't teach. You can't teach the size, 146 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,600 you can't teach the athleticism. That's something that he certainly 147 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:27,399 does have over Darren Peterson. But you know, as I 148 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:29,959 mentioned DP, that the talent is certainly there, and so 149 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,160 I would not be surprised if still as of today, 150 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,759 Darren Peterson goes number one overall. But if this trend continues, 151 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,920 I wouldn't be surprised either if it shifts a different 152 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:42,680 direction and AJ Deboston bounces back to number one overall. 153 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,959 Speaker 4: Who would you pick and why? 154 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: You know? It's funny If you asked me this last week, 155 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:52,439 I would have said Darren Peterson. But after getting a 156 00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:55,000 chance to see AJ Debosa in person and then seeing 157 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,079 kind of what continues to off forward with with DP, 158 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,160 I like the competitiveness of AJ deboson what to get 159 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,680 in that leads of athleticism that you can't teach. As 160 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,839 of today, I'm going back to a J and the Boston, 161 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:08,600 especially after seeing him this week. Someone lean AJ as 162 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:09,079 of today. 163 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting because you got to know him a 164 00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:16,240 little bit too, like personality wise, and and look, recency 165 00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:17,040 biases real. 166 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 4: We all know that. 167 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: But you know I've always said, like I would, I 168 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,439 would take a J first because I know he's going 169 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,480 to do the lonely work. 170 00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: I know he's gonna he's going to continue to get better. Uh. 171 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,040 He distributes the ball actually really well. 172 00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: He's a great teammate. If you want to win championships, 173 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,240 you need a great team. You can just be a 174 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,959 one man scoring show, and he elevates others. 175 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:38,279 Speaker 4: Uh. 176 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,639 Speaker 3: I feel like uh, in a world of ego driven 177 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:46,639 narcissism and me first mentality, Aj uh Man. 178 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,959 Speaker 4: He's a great. 179 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: Teammate, absolutely great teammate. And that's something that that I 180 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,560 got a chance to kind of even pick up yesterday 181 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,199 at the at the Baylor game. And you know, it's 182 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,560 interesting that once again we know that AJ is one 183 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,120 and done, and he made sure to shout out like 184 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:03,720 Rob Wright. He wanted to get him going early in 185 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:06,800 his return back to his old stomping grounds at Baylor. 186 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,959 And when when when Rob Wright made a shot, AJ 187 00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:13,279 was his biggest cheerleader, and the guy simply loved AJ. 188 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,439 That the energy is certainly infectious that he brings that 189 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,160 team each and every night along with his talent. With 190 00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,160 that being said, when I look at like a pair 191 00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:24,360 of DP Daran Pearson to Ag Debonsa, I will say 192 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,959 that I do feel like Darrin Pearson's buckets come a 193 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,240 little bit easier than Bossa at times. He is able 194 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,840 to do it on ball off ball. He's a better 195 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,320 catcher shooter, but he's better at catch a shoot than 196 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,840 idiot Bassa's percentages. And on top of that, you kind 197 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,840 of see him, you know, working on some work cups 198 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,440 and he lets the game kind of cuts him a 199 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,440 little bit easier. One thing that I will say, but 200 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:46,399 if you want a nick tack on AJ, sometimes the 201 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,639 ball can stick with him versus Darren Pearson. He's able 202 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,000 to kind of get off of it a little bit more. 203 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,159 What's caam going back to that on ball off ball 204 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,440 that he's able to do as as a combo guard. 205 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,559 But at the same time, when the ball is in 206 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,240 AJ's hens at the end of the day, most of 207 00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,000 the time the ball goes in the whole. And that's 208 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,080 the point of this of why you know, you played 209 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,840 the game with basketball, So if you want to be nitpicky, 210 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:07,440 that's the kind of the difference that I would say 211 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,559 between the two. But both of them when they all 212 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,320 in the floor, they compete, and we saw that, you 213 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,480 know when d Yu played played Kansas and frankly, Derek 214 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,679 Peerson went at a j De Bonsa and obviously he 215 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:20,159 got the better of him in that game, and so 216 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,840 did the team. But you know, you can't go wrong 217 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:25,679 with with either ones of those talents. 218 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: We got Chancellor Johnson Big Twelve andelus Big twelve Insider 219 00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:34,240 talking some college basketball here on your Utah ESPN Radio network. 220 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 4: Chancellor Uh, the Big Twelve. Uh, you get to. 221 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: See these guys up close and personal. Very talented. Uh, 222 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:44,480 there's great, great players for Houston, great player for Texas Tech. 223 00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:49,320 B Y you obviously Kansas, you're watching it all. How 224 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,320 would you describe the Big Twelve right now and what 225 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,320 stands out to you about the product being played? 226 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: An absolute monster, That's how I describe it every day. 227 00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:00,000 If you better, you better put your your big play 228 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,799 b boy pants on him because you know you're gonna 229 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:04,360 be in for a ride. And the thing is, obviously 230 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,399 the Big Twelve is pretty top heavy when you look 231 00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:08,679 at some of the top teams, starting with Arizona, the 232 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,639 team that's been the best team in the country all 233 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,600 season long, even in their loss this week on the 234 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,200 road to Kansas. But you know, Kansas, they're starting to 235 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,919 play some of their best basketball right now. As we've 236 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,840 been able to see Houston still right there now there's 237 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000 still the champs back to back at that here in 238 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,240 the Big Twelve, back to Tech they have the best 239 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:28,879 pool in the country and JT. Toppen and Christian Anderson. 240 00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:30,840 I don't want to forget io State either, who got 241 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,919 out to the best start in program of history at 242 00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:35,960 sixteen or zero. They lost yesterday to TCU, but come March, 243 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120 they're still team to be to be reckoning with. They 244 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,720 have Joshua Jefferson, who is on pace to be an 245 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,000 All Americans. I don't want to forget anybody, but like 246 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,600 once again, he can go on and on, and then 247 00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:46,879 of course b Yu that you know, any given night 248 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,639 that are really most nights, AGI to Boston is going 249 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,240 to be the best player on the floor, and so 250 00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:54,360 it's highly competitive and even a j. Debosakon joked about 251 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,320 it yesterday that you know he's not really he's never 252 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,200 really lost four games before, but that's just kind of 253 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,879 the nature of the Big Twelve. So or to win here, 254 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,799 even the teamy Baylor at they beat they have two 255 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,440 players that are particularly to be NBA guys and Tunda 256 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,799 Yesipol who had a big night with thirty seven points 257 00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:12,000 and Cameron Carr who poured in twenty five plus points himself. 258 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,240 But you know they're struggling the season, and that's just 259 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,159 once again the nicture of how the Big Twelve is 260 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:17,279 this season. 261 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 3: Pretty crazy to see just how deep this conference really is. 262 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:26,399 And even watching Baylor, I think Baylor's been playing some 263 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,279 of their best ball over the last four weeks, they 264 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,360 almost knocked out knocked off Iowa State, and they were 265 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,559 right there with BYU. They had two wins before that 266 00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:37,799 there were you know, ten plus point margin victory. So 267 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,799 you never know what can happen on the back end. 268 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:42,759 If you're looking at BYU right now and looking at 269 00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:45,799 that where they're trending, obviously they lost four in a row. 270 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 4: They got to win versus Baylor. 271 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: You're looking at the schedule, hopefully they can finish above 272 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:52,039 five hundred and Big twelve play. 273 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 4: What type of seeding do you think BYU will get? 274 00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:57,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, I think they're probably floating around the 275 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,399 six seven range. And that's not trying to gate make 276 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,879 it make one of the you know, the popular jokes, 277 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240 right the viral jokes of six seventh. But I think 278 00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,679 they're floating around there. They certainly need to shrink some 279 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,480 some wins together because if you're you know, a BYU fan, 280 00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:12,360 what you don't want to do is or what you 281 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,159 want to do is try to earn one of those 282 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,960 early buys. Come to Big twelve tournament. You'll get you, 283 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,879 get you some, get you some rests, and get some 284 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,279 get your legs underneath you to hopefully make a run 285 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,679 and compete for a Big Twelve tournament title. Because right now, 286 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,240 with as me and losses as BYU has, I don't 287 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,679 think that Arizona Houston Kansas now has the over the 288 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,080 head to head over BYU is going to drop that low. 289 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,159 So BYU is out of the conference regular season title race. 290 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,960 But there's still so much more to be played, so 291 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,440 much more to play for. That's the thing that even 292 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,360 if you don't win the Big Twelve, you still are 293 00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:47,519 certainly in the running to go to the Final four 294 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,960 and potentially be a national champion. As I mentioned, you 295 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,639 look at Arizona, Texas Tech, Houston, b YU, Kansas, and 296 00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:58,399 I'm missing another team as well. I hate that. I 297 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,440 think you know six teams that. 298 00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 4: They have a real state did you mention, yes, yeah, Iowa. 299 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,039 Speaker 1: State as well. The are teams that have would send 300 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,080 the chance of making a very very long run in 301 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360 the in the tournament. So if I'm if I'm the 302 00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,159 BYU Cougar's right now, my focus is how could we 303 00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:15,799 get around to playing our best basketball. So that way, 304 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,440 let's you know, the calendar turns from February to March, 305 00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:20,679 we are now playing. 306 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: That Chancellor let's talk a little bit about the supporting 307 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:30,360 cast for b Yu Hadeem Whoop looked looked pretty good 308 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,759 on the defensive end, He's a little bit limited offensively. 309 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,279 We we know about the big three, right AJ, Rob 310 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,080 and Richie. 311 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: If you were to put maybe ah. 312 00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:44,159 Speaker 3: You know, a prognostication out there of whoo who's actually 313 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,679 going to be the supporting cast? Which players are gonna 314 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,440 end up helping BYU not only get to the tournament 315 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,279 but make a run in the NCAA tournament. 316 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,279 Speaker 4: Who do you think it is and why? 317 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: I think it's just led by the trio there Can Davis. 318 00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:01,159 He's put together some nice games here lately. He had 319 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,080 twelve points last night. But once again, I think it 320 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840 starts with you know your trio, Rob right the third age, 321 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:10,519 Debonsa and Richie Soners and Richie didn't shoot the ball 322 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,039 very well yesterday, but he still ended up with fifteen points. 323 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:15,200 He went six to fourteen from deep actually miss some 324 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,879 open jumpers. But you know what, some tournament time, I 325 00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:20,840 don't know if there's gonna ben unlikely hero from BYU. 326 00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:22,879 If I'm being honest with you, I think in order 327 00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:24,720 to get to where the crews want to go, and 328 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600 that's Indianapolis up the final four. Those three are will 329 00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:29,559 have to have to carry the torch. Now once again, 330 00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:33,080 Conar Davis has played some perimeter defense. He's usually checking 331 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,000 the best perimeter player for the opposing team. As they mentioned, 332 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:39,759 he poured in twelve points. He didn't shoot the ball 333 00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:41,399 well from deep, but you know, if you can get 334 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,440 some more shots to go from the outside, I think 335 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080 that will certainly help. But you know, once you get 336 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,679 to the sweet sixteen, if Yu is fortunate to get there, 337 00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:49,919 it's going to be in the back. It's going to 338 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,559 be on the back of those three. 339 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 4: Chancellor. 340 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 3: Best way to support you what you do, how you 341 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,720 do it for all of our listeners. 342 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:02,159 Speaker 1: Yes, sir on Chancer two on Twitter and Instagram, and 343 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,360 I'm even on TikTok the for the kids out there 344 00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,639 as well. So I do film breakdowns, story times and 345 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,759 well some behind the scenes AC access and and even 346 00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:13,360 some exclusive interviews like I had yesterday with aj Debosa. 347 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,440 He was great with his time. He had some fun 348 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,399 with that. And uh yeah, certainly on social media at 349 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Chancellor TV. 350 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,679 Speaker 4: Anything you got cooking now you can tease us with. 351 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,799 Speaker 1: I'm always working, I'm always working. I have some some 352 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:29,159 some more film breakdowns coming. I'm actually doing some some 353 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,759 more on aj De Bonsa. I just put out some 354 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,200 some content with him yesterday and I actually even kind 355 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,399 of go and get a little bit more in depth 356 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,000 about a first time seeing in person. But once again 357 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:38,960 you can see all that almost social pages.
