Just posted the little article kind of 54 00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:34,360 previewing the game Saturday, but the game two years ago 55 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,039 against Iowa State and how they beat BYU forty five 56 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,280 to thirteen, and how since that game, if BYU has 57 00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:45,919 not suffered a multiple score game, so they've lost four 58 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,560 times and in all four of those games, four games. 59 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000 So the kind of just looking back at that game 60 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,800 and how that was a key turning point really for 61 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,719 the Big Twelve. And so those are kind of the 62 00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:02,240 two main ones that I've been working on recently. I've 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,080 been doing a lot of basketball. I'm just leaving Kansas 64 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,159 City now. I've been down here for the Big Twelve 65 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,439 basketball media days. 66 00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: So there's a little bit of basketball. 67 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,199 Speaker 2: All right. 68 00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: Jay, So you've been down at Big Twelve media days 69 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:21,719 for this men's basketball squad what did you learn about 70 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:23,520 the basketball squad that you didn't know before. 71 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:28,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question, you know. 72 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 4: I think I learned that that and AJ are developing 73 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,080 kind of a good chemistry. 74 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: They talked a lot about that bond. 75 00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: For Ritchie, it's a little bit of a change. He's 76 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,240 not the man this year like he was last year. 77 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,639 The ball's not going to go through him a lot. 78 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,599 Speaker 3: Or as much. 79 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:53,439 Speaker 4: He's really focused on getting better and also, you know, 80 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,759 working and getting along on the floor with AJ, and 81 00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,240 so that'll be interesting to watch. So that was kind 82 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,800 of one thing I learned is how leaning into that chemistry, 83 00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:07,960 I learned that Rob Wright is a really funny guys. 84 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: He was down here in Kansas City as. 85 00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: Well, and and he's kind of emerging and maybe as 86 00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:17,519 the the kind of the guy that keeps everybody loose 87 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,920 and focused. 88 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: And those are a few things. 89 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,319 Speaker 4: Kevin Young was kind of starting to, I think, feel 90 00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:28,560 a lot more comfortable at these sort of things and 91 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,879 around his outfellow coaches. He wasn't There's a lot of 92 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,959 talk about this player who's I guess Louisville is going 93 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,360 to sign uh and it's all legal because apparently he's 94 00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,920 not deemed a pro although he's played in the D League, 95 00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,399 and Kevin Young basically said, hey, that's fine with me 96 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,000 that fans have played professionally and. 97 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: They come over here. 98 00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: For instance, Jegor Demon made money playing professionally, so that's 99 00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,319 another interesting kind of element to it. 100 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,879 Speaker 3: And Kevin Young, it's, of course, is the league and 101 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,600 the G League, and he. 102 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: Says there's really no difference between those European guys and. 103 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: You know and the G League guys. 104 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 4: So he's all for a lot of other coaches, Kelvin 105 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,920 Sampson and others are totally against. So that'll be interesting 106 00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:22,439 to watch.

You everything's been really really, good and you, 181 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,519 know Beating utah is kind of a cherry on top 182 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,240 for byu. 183 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:27,639 Speaker 3: Fans so absolutely zero complaints from this. 184 00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: End why is it that so much of the national 185 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,120 media still won't buy in to brig? 186 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: Them what do you make of? 187 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,039 Speaker 4: That, yeah that's interesting when you consider they're eighteen and 188 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,080 two in their last twenty, games two. 189 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:42,799 Speaker 3: One score losses to. 190 00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:45,519 Speaker 4: The big twelve Champion Arizona state and then To, kansas 191 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,759 which remains a kind of the mystery game and will 192 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,320 probably for a. Decade but, YEAH i don't. KNOW i 193 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120 think it's probably the close, games maybe that they're just 194 00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,600 not blowing people out of the. Water and it was 195 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,039 kind of the same last year on several of the 196 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,519 games where they were you, know The Oklahoma state game 197 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,799 and others where they were just really too close for. 198 00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 3: Comfort SO i guess that would be the. Narrative and 199 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,360 THEN i. 200 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 4: Just don't think people are over the fact that they're 201 00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,320 playing a freshman quarterback and they kind of think the 202 00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:18,080 dam's going to burst any. Minute that at, least that's 203 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,799 kind of a FEELING i get watching a few of 204 00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:25,759 the shows and. Whatnot but, YEAH i think, locally we 205 00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:28,759 know we've bought in That Kalani sutake is a really good. 206 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 3: Coach he's put. 207 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,279 Speaker 4: Together a outstanding coaching staff With Jay hill And Aaron, 208 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,600 roderick really good, coordinators and. 209 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: So you, Know i'm on.

Expectations bou 336 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,480 football had little to no. Expectations right they ended both 337 00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,559 ended up thirteenth in the eight people basketball went to 338 00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:19,480 A sweet sixteen AND byu went to An Alamo bowl 339 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,799 and beat a ranked. Opponent so, like which team had 340 00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:27,880 a better season last? Year at the end of, it 341 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,680 obviously football overachieved the, expectation AND i think in many 342 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:38,119 Regard utah Or, SORRY byu basketball maybe overachieved just a little. 343 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,240 BIT i think round to thirty two was maybe quota 344 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,119 with their, roster but some Expected sweet. Sixteen give me 345 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,880 an analysis of that and then what this year is 346 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:53,359 looking like for football and. Basketball, yeah that's a good. 347 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,519 Speaker 4: QUESTION i would lean towards football being a little bit 348 00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:01,759 more last year achieving a little bit more just because 349 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,519 of you, know they literally tied for The Big twelve 350 00:18:04,519 --> 00:18:07,359 regular season, championship which is huge and don't forget, that 351 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,480 and then The Big bowl win and finishing where they. 352 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:14,079 Speaker 3: Did RANKED i think it was was at, Thirteenth so, 353 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:15,559 Yeah i'll lean towards. 354 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 4: That as far as this, YEAR i THINK i think 355 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,839 the ceiling is higher for. BASKETBALL i think there's a 356 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,200 lot of people Saying final four or, Bust SO i 357 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,000 would probably say basketball this year has the higher ceiling than. 358 00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:38,240 Football you, KNOW i think, football we can't. Forget they're 359 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:40,920 still breaking in a freshman.
