This is a new show, This is a new opportunity,

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,200
something that got discussed, that was in the works for

23
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:21,840
a long time, and grateful for this opportunity to bring you.

24
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:24,400
We have a football one that we do and this

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280
is a basketball one. I'll be able to do this

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,159
all season long. As well as the producer that's behind

27
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,280
the glass, who I'll welcome him in Momentarily, I just

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,159
want to, you know, thank a few people for this opportunity.

29
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:38,239
Opportunities in this in this business, in this job, they

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,599
don't come often, but when they do, you have to

31
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,000
take them and you have to work hard. So I first,

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,000
most importantly want to thank our general manager, Jackie Louis,

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,480
for this opportunity of being able to get this off

34
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,480
Squared away. But the next important person that's been advocating

35
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:57,519
for me for a very long time is Benjamin Criddle.

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Ben has advocated me as his produce from when I

37
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,680
first started doing social media with them as a backup guy.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,200
So Ben, I can't thank you enough for vouching for me,

39
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:10,680
for fighting for this. So I'm very grateful to be

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,199
able to do this, and I'll be doing this all

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,159
season long, guys, every game that doesn't conflict with other

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,719
events that we have on the station here on your

43
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:20,639
Utah ESPN Radio network. So I'll be doing it away games,

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,719
home games, you name it, I got it. Going to

45
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:26,960
be interviewing players, coaches, staff members, former players, bring you

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,400

48
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:35,319
So thank you, Ben, really humble is that. Also want

49
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,520
to thank the program directors that we have. Want to

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,280
thank Bryce Larson, our program director. I'm here on one

55
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:59,280
very blessed. She sacrifices a lot for me to be

56
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:01,400
able to do this every single day. This job is

57
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:03,560
not easy to put stresses on the family sometimes, so

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,240
I'm grateful for my wife and everything that she's been

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,319

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,639
job of taking care and I wouldn't be first and

61

most importantly the man I am today the person I am,

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,360

00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,240
grateful for everybody, and it's so very humble. I can't

00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,560
thank everybody. If I could, we be here forever because

73
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,639

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,680

we have as well as my co host producer that

93
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:34,279
I might be bringing in moments during the show as well.

94
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,199
You hear him on Thursday sometimes he also helps him

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,040
backing up as well.

96
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: He is our running back here for the show and.

97
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:43,759
Speaker 4: For the Cougar basketball pre game show. I got Andrew

98
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:44,879
Peterson behind the glass.

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: AP. How we doing today? Brother?

100
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,399
Speaker 5: But not be more excited this year.

101
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: Every year. Yeah, it's gonna be glorious right the marri

102
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:17,160
At Center. It's gonna be a great season. As you

103
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,040
mentioned you being there. Appreciate h Andrew doing this and

104
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:23,639
taking time out of his day. It's not easy on

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,240
a Saturday when you got to cover games and other

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,519
things are going on to be here, but I think

107
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,040
at him showing up and showing out.

108
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: So this first second gonna break down the win against Clinton.

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,279
I would know we discussed it earlier, but we'll delve

110
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:34,879
a little bit.

111
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: More into that.

112
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: How did that come about. We're gonna get it into

113
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:39,839
tip off. B YU guys hasn't been at the Marriott

114
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:42,199
Center in over a month. It's been thirty two days,

115
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
thirty two days since the Cougars have tipped off in

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,079
the Merrit Center. They've been to the Delta Center. They've

117
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:50,399
been to the East Coast h multiple times, three trips.

118
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:53,480
I caught up with information director earlier when I was

119
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:56,600
at the BYU women's basketball game. I know he's happy

120
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,240
to be back a lot looks lots of travel for

121
00:05:58,319 --> 00:05:59,560
cougarnation going out there.

122
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: But what game it was in the Mecca.

123
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: So will preview that some of UC riverside in the

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,519
second segment, Gonna get it to Brandon Dunson. I caught

125
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,600
up with him that one of the BYU assistant coaches,

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,319
how has this BAU basketball team performed in his eyes?

127
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,920
You know in the first couple of games, the first

128
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,240
half of this non conference slate, second half is under

129
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,160
the way, you got four games left, so you're on

130
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:23,800
the end of it. What have they accomplished? What do

131
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,040
they need to finish out strong? Before they had in

132
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,600
a conference play? If you tip off the new year

133
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,279
twenty twenty six, January third, they'll be taking on Kansas State.

134
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000
It's only four more games at the Marriott Center left

135
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:36,399
and what they played four games? I think it's in

136
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:39,279
eleven days and then you have ten days off before

137
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:41,560
you go out to Kansas State. I know people think

138
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,040
I might be a Debbie Donnerer. Remember when I said, Hey,

139
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:46,000
if BYU take some games off and it came out

140
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,959
a little bit flat against Kansas State, or if they

141
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:50,959
opened up conference play with the loss, don't be upset.

142
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,399
This team has chemistry that it needs to continue to build.

143
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:56,399
It's done a phenomenal job with the big three, Rob

144
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,079
Right and AJ averaging about fifty five points a game

145
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,480
at your big three. I think it's the second best

146
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,639
big three in college basketball right now. AJ debonsa coming

147
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,079
off of career high performance. There's nothing else you could

148
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:10,680
ask for from you know, this is for ESPN the

149
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:13,079
number two overall pick in the twenty twenty six and

150
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,800
be a draft.

151
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:15,399
Speaker 2: I think he's the number one overall pick.

152
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: And I know that the Boozer kid is playing phenomenal

153
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:21,279
over there at Duke. He's right up there with AJ

154
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:23,680
because AJ and him are won a few freshmen that

155
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720
are averaging I think twenty plus points, you know, over

156
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:29,160
forty percent shooting. But at the end of the day,

157
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:31,600
when you look at skill set, when you look at talent,

158
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,199
when you look at what fits the pro style, AJ

159
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,839
Debonsa brings more of that when he's going one on one.

160
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:39,920
And you saw that showcase in the mechan Now, obviously

161
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,759
the highlight was Rob Wright hitting the game winning three,

162
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,040
but AJ Debonca assisted or scored on thirty four Bo's

163
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,959
forty points that occurred in the second half of that game.

164
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: He can't overlook that.

165
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,759
Speaker 4: And I said this on Twitter, and some might get math,

166
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:55,160
they might get upset, and I don't care quite frankly,

167
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,879
but you have to invest in players like this. Brian

168
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,560
Santiago says, hey, I just invested in the football program,

169
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,199
investing in Colone SATACKEI you weren't just investing in BA basketball.

170
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,639
You were investing in Kevin Young. You were investing in

171
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:09,639
players like AJ, players like Rob. You've never seen a

172
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240
point guard like that. Players like this come as well

173
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,120
of the top King Richie Saunders, that complement each other

174
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,399
all very well. You know what happens when maybe Richie

175
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:19,680
doesn't have his best performance. You can have guys like

176
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,600
AJ and Rob step up and a lot of people

177
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,720
argue me and API want your dolls in this. I

178
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,079
don't know if maybe there might be one or two

179
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,439
other teams in bo basketball history, but I don't know

180
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:32,120
if there's any other team that can come back ap

181
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,159
and win a game like that, because it hadn't been

182
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,240
done in a while, right, I think it had been

183
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480
over fifteen twenty years since the last time it happened.

184
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,639
So people can argue me all day, well, this team

185
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,919
could have, but it hadn't. It hadn't occurred. We have

186
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,960
to look at the facts, and this team was able

187
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,879
to do that. So to me, this was an all

188
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:52,639
time great performance in the second half, not the first

189
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,159
to be able to come back from that and then

190
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
to be able to really storm roll Clemson the way

191
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:59,159
you wanted to. Because the way BYU was looking in

192
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:00,919
the first half, it look like it was gonna get

193
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:03,440
out of hand early. They rebounded, they fought well, they

194
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,399
started making shots, they played tempo, they kept Clemson off

195
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,000
the glass, and they come out with the victory.

196
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,279
Speaker 6: Your thoughts, yeah, Ron, My thought is number one year, right,

197
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,480
it's been. I think two thousand and two was the

198
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,879
last time we came back from down twenty plus in

199
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,919
a basketball game in the second half. That was against Utah,

200
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:26,279
So I think it's been twenty three years.

201
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 5: I think is what has been.

202
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 6: And last year's basketball team had a game that was

203
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,039
similar to it when they were down to TCU if

204
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:37,360
you remember, or maybe it was two years ago.

205
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,279
Speaker 5: It was two years ago.

206
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 6: They were down to TCU about fifteen in the at halftime.

207
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,639
They came back won that game by twelve. But it

208
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,919
just that kind of performance doesn't happen very often. And

209
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,639
the thing that makes me nervous is by is getting

210
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,240
used to having bad first halfs and that's just not

211
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,720
gonna cut it in the Big twelve. When you play

212
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:03,879
the Arizona's Houston, Iowa States, that's just they're not gonna

213
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:05,440
let you come back from that. I don't care how

214
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,399
good aj to bounce is, Rob Wright, Richie Saunders. They

215
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:12,759
have guys that are they have comparable guys which Clemson doesn't.

216
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:16,440
Clemson is a good team, but we've got to find

217
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,559
a way to stop having these bad first halfs.

218
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you bring up a good point. I'm just sitting

219
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,720
here thinking about what you said. This has been a

220
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:26,559
second half team. Kemy Younger a dress that actually in

221
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,759
the post game, and you know to the media that

222
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,759
the second half they gotta start, they gotta start fast.

223
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
You can't have that against You're right, you do that

224
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,039
against Arizona, You're gonna be sol. You do it against

225
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:39,720
you know, Baylor, a bunch of other teams, Kansas, it's

226
00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:41,440
not gonna work. You only go to you only play

227
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Kansas once this year. You go on the fog Island

228
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,399
field House, right Kansas in the battle right now against

229
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,639
n C State, that game might be close to Ingram

230
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,480
might have already ended. We'll get a score board up

231
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,960
they we'll talk about other college basketball news later in

232
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360

gonna be doing this all season long, home games, naway game,

238
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,720
taking you up until tip off. Excuse me a BYU

239
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,039
men's basketball. But you bring up a good point. Better teams,

240
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,919
more well coached teams that have just as many talented guys,

241
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,360
if not more, maybe more depth on the roster.

242
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:22,279
Speaker 2: He can't do that.

243
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,039
Speaker 4: And I think you bring up a good point about

244
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,639
there is an issue right now with bench dep You

245
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,480
don't know where you're gonna turn to coming off the bench,

246
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,240
and Rob Richie and aj Or taking all the load

247
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:34,759
pretty much, and they're putting upon themselves. And look, Kevin

248
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:36,440
Young will figure it out. He's got a great staff,

249
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,440
he's got an NBA staff, There's no doubt in my mind.

250
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,279
He mentioned earlier that when they played California Baptist at

251
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,720
the Delta Center that he had did over one hundred

252
00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:48,600
of these games where he had to go to the

253
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,360
bench and figure it out. That was kind of his knees.

254
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,399
So I know he'll figure it out. But right now,

255
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,080
if you don't get it together in the last four games,

256
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,279
especially going in the conference, player you get on the

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,320
road in the Big twelve environment where it's tough to

258
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:00,399
win on the road in the Big twelve. Andrew, you

259
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,519
and I both know this well, not just football but

260
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,480
basketball particularly. We've seen this conference the last two years.

261
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,919
Wins on the road are hard. And if you want

262
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,759
to get a big time win at fall Gallen field House, look,

263
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,080
and everyone's talking gonna be talking about all year long.

264
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,720
AJ cam A and Darren are gonna be fluctuating. Well,

265
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,320
the game that everybody's gonna have their eye on, I

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,519
think is gonna be, you know, January twenty sixth. I

267
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,039
might be wrong about that when they play. It might

268
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,159
be a little bit later in that week, but you're

269
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:27,720
gonna play Kansas in fag Gallen field House. And if

270
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,320
you start slow on the road with the lack of

271
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,320
depth that you have on the bench right now, and

272
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,440
expect to come back if you're down by twenty, I

273
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:34,799
don't know.

274
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: Now.

275
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: Granted, this team has a lot of experience now. Everybody

276
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,639
on the team has been down twenty. Rob Wright took

277
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480
over a game by himself when he was at Baylor

278
00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:43,279
down to Kansas. By the way, it's funny that we

279
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,120
mentioned that and came back and led the team to

280
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,919
victory because VJ. Edgecomb if you remember one down, but

281
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,440
You don't want to be in that situation. You don't

282
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,320
want to be in those situations having to pull back,

283
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,960
having to give everything that you have, because I think

284
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,440
at some point rob Ridge and ag might get tired.

285
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
They very well could. And that's a lot to ask

286
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:02,440
of your three big guys and four and I know

287
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,840
they're in Cape as well. I think Cable is starting

288
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,919
to emerge and peak at the right part of the season.

289
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,679
But that's a lot to ask your starters to do

290
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,360
in their up for the challenge. Will no guy that's

291
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,840
playing college basketball right now is gonna say, yeah, take

292
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,840
more off my shoulder. They'd be like, no, give me

293
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,120
more of the load, give me more shots. I'll go

294
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:19,240
out there and do it. But at the end of

295
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:22,320
the day, you hit it on the NAILAP you start

296
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,679
slow on conference play, it's gonna build up. And the

297
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,559
reason why I keep prefacing this is I don't want

298
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,720
people to jump to just you know, BA fans do

299
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:33,080
this AP and you've seen it. It's like football. The

300
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,960
offense doesn't do well, it's ay Rod's fault to blame

301
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
BA football. Look, you very well might open the conference

302
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:39,720
play up with the loss. I would predict not but

303
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:42,000
if that were to happen, and that could, I don't

304
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,360
think it's a bad basketball team. Remember last year at

305
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,360
p where were they at when they started conference play.

306
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:48,480
No one thought that they would be in the sweet

307
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:50,080
sixteen and they ended up being there.

308
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they started one in three last year. It

309
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,440
didn't look good. Here's the thing that I like about

310
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,080
where BYU's at. They've played the toughest part of their

311
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,720
non conference schedule. They've got they've got a few cupcakes

312
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,320
lined up, and so what the the tough games have

313
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,519
done is it's really solidified who are the guys when

314
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:10,759
it gets tough. And we we already knew it going

315
00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:12,639
into the season, but it's Rob Bright, it's AJ, and

316
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:18,279
it's Richie and and Kiva in there too. But with

317
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,200
that said, the bench has not had very much time

318
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,480
to develop. Like last year in the non conference where

319
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,639
almost every game was a cupcake, the bench was really

320
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:29,799
well developed. You had eleven guys that you could play.

321
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,720
And so what's really important for a game like tonight

322
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,000
and the few games going forward before you get into

323
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200
conference plays, you're gonna have a lot of time where

324
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,720
your starters can put the game away early and you

325
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:43,600
can get your bench out there. I want to see

326
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,200
guys like Dominique Diamande out there because I think he

327
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,240
could be the key to unlocking the bench. With Dawson

328
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,399
Baker and and Nate Pickens out, Dominique, he's my pick

329
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,320
to be the guy at least coming off the bench,

330
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,279
someone like that. Maybe if if we see a Brodie

331
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,639
Koslowski at some point during the season, I'm not sure

332
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:04,759
what's going on with him, but I think he's got

333
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:07,559
a three point shot that could unlock the offense from

334
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,480
the bench, because quite frankly, that's what we're struggling with.

335
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,639
Because you don't need the bench to go in there

336
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:14,720
and get you two's.

337
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:15,639
Speaker 5: You need the bench to.

338
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 6: Come off give you a spark by getting some threes

339
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:18,440
to fall.

340
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you definitely need threes to fall in because you

341
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,399
mentioned threes. This is why this is the guy for me,

342
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:25,000
the guy I think that needs to get off and

343
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:26,799
needs to figure out his elected coastage.

344
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,039
Speaker 2: I think he's the guy.

345
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: I think you look, you never expected him to play

346
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,960
maybe more than ten minutes a game, depending on what

347
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,759
the matchup was.

348
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,279
Speaker 2: If guys got in foul trouble.

349
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:39,159
Speaker 4: Kevin Young said that Rob was gonna be the main guy,

350
00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:40,759
and ag was gonna play point guard. But you still

351
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:43,600
were gonna have Dawson and Nate defend and play your

352
00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:45,559
wing and be your scoring guys. That was a part

353
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,759
of the game plan that no longer is the question.

354
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:50,639
Both of those guys are out for the entire season. Nate,

355
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,879
it was announced before the season started, had a lower

356
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:53,759
extreminy injury.

357
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: He's not playing.

358
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: Dawson chears his acl mc oh, my goodness, you feel

359
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,879
bad for Dawson. Baker just had been leg by injuries

360
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,960
his whole career and he can't play. And then you know,

361
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:07,639
Kevin Young has said this earlier before the season started,

362
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:09,480
thinking the Blue White game, Brody's been banged up.

363
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,759
Speaker 2: So Brody's banged up too.

364
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: It's like where's your death and other guys haven't been

365
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:14,720
able to do it, Like you're still waiting on Tyler Moruss,

366
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:16,919
who's a very good shooter. He's a three and D guy,

367
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960
like he can play defense. But he's yet the I think,

368
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,480
if my numbers are correct, attempt a two point shot.

369
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,919
Ap So, Myhilo has been on this team and necessarily

370
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,200
hasn't stepped up the way he has now Granted, he

371
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
passed the ball to Rob in that situation because he's

372
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,600
a great passer and has a great IQ, and that

373
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:35,840
led to the BAU victory, but he hasn't shot the

374
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,080
ball necessarily well. So the guys that you've been relying

375
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,240
on were Dawson who's out now, Nate never got a

376
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,360
chance to see him, and then it's been Canard, Richie,

377
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:47,440
keba Aj and Rob.

378
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: Those have been your guys and you need another guy

379
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,440
to step up.

380
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: So to me, it's Aelexi Coastage, the six to four

381
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,919
freshman from Austria. You're bringing him. He's got a lot

382
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,080
of experience. Kevin Young told us in the Blue White Game.

383
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,799
He said that Sucker can shoot and if you lose him,

384
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:01,200
he's dangerous and they might need to figure out the

385
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,879
spacing and the chemistry more. But that's the guy that

386
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,920
needs to unlock. To me off the bench to relieve

387
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:10,720
Rob because my thing is, okay, what happens if Rob

388
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,200
Wright gets in the foul trouble? What happens if Rob

389
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Wright gets injured? And no one wants to hear me

390
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,559
say that, like Ron, don't say that that's bad. That's bad, bad,

391
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,559
bad bad, But no no, no, no, no, I'm bringing up

392
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:24,359
a realistic thing. You don't want to do that. I'm

393
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,880
not trying to force shout. I'm knocking on the wood

394
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,640
right here, the table in our Vanderwolf Studios Banderwolf. But

395
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,519
ap if Rob goes down, Alexi's that next guy, because

396
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:33,279
you're gonna have to bring in the guard. And yes,

397
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,319
I think after Alexi Dominique is the next guy. Mihilo

398
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:40,640
Bolskevic me highlight bucketvich is what I call him. Haven't

399
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,519
seen a highlight just yet, still waiting on it and

400
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:45,319
Tyler Russ. So if those guys have to step up.

401
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:47,599
But you're putting a lot of pressure on Rob, which

402
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:49,519
is fine, he can handle it. But if anything were

403
00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:51,440
to go wrong, it would go major south. If you're

404
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,519
going towards Vegas down the dark, there's a highway that

405
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:54,960
Brandon Gurney says, don't go down.

406
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: And Alexi Kostitch has to step up. He hasn't. We

407
00:17:58,039 --> 00:17:59,319
haven't seen it yet. We have not.

408
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:02,279
Speaker 4: He got four left in non conference and he's not

409
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,160
confident yet and he needs to find his shot.

410
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,759
Speaker 6: AP well, I do want to touch on this injury

411
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,920
concerns For me, it feels like if you can't develop

412
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,240
a bench, your starters are going to get injured because

413
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,400
you're gonna be playing them longer than you want to.

414
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,400
You can't throw out guys in a must win game

415
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:25,480
or in a huge game that can't play, or everyone

416
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,960
on BoA's roster can play but can't play together or

417
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,599
can't contribute at a high level. You can't take out

418
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,079
your stars in those type of games. You have to

419
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:36,640
play them more minutes, and more minutes leads to more injuries.

420
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,599
And so this is this is a real concern for me.

421
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,000
This is what the next four games are about. It's

422
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:45,200
developing your bench, getting them to play together. Because my

423
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:48,160
thing with Mihailo Boskovic, I think he could be a

424
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,920
tremendous player. The reason for me why his shots aren't

425
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,000
falling this year. It feels like he's playing like he's

426
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:58,319
playing like I did in an elementary school, where if

427
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,359
I got the ball, I shot it because I didn't

428
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,440
think I was gonna get it again. That's the kind

429
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,559
of player I was, because why, frankly, I didn't get

430
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:07,880
the ball that much, and not to you know, wax

431
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,799
poetic or anything. But if he can learn to just

432
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:12,680
play in the system with the bench guys. If they

433
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,319
can learn to trust each other, he's gonna find himself in.

434
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:17,559
Speaker 5: More open spots. He'll be able to shoot it.

435
00:19:17,599 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 6: He'll be able to make some shots because he can

436
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,759
he can make those shots.

437
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,319
Speaker 5: And same with Costitch.

438
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,319
Speaker 6: I think it's really a thing where last year's team,

439
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,319
it took them a while to get to play together,

440
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,200
and once they did, their shooting percentages went up. The

441
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,960
offense unlocked. And that's where the bench is right now.

442
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,279
Because the starters can score. We've seen that the starters

443
00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,720
can score, but the bench players need to get in there,

444
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:42,240
develop some chemistry together and be able to find themselves

445
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,559
in open spots. Once they do, I think that unlocks

446
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,119
the bench.

447
00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got unlocked the bench and look at home.

448
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:50,720
No better place than under the lights of the MC

449
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,440
on your home court. As I mentioned thirty two days

450
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,279
that BAU basketball has been away from the Mayor out Center,

451
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:57,680
a little bit of breaking news. So I know this

452
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,519
is a basketball show. I gotta give my ties and

453
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,440
give a little bit, you know, love to football, just

454
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:05,000
for college football news in general. And he had a quarterback,

455
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:08,960
Fernando Mendoza has one to twenty twenty five Heisman Trophy.

456
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,559
Speaker 2: I don't think any of us are surprised. I'm not Mendoza.

457
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: Some people say he's not a dog ron and he

458
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,640
let no, he's a dog, like the dude stands in

459
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,759
the pocket and slings the ball. And now we'll see

460
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:19,359
if he's a dog when the Jets draft him number

461
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,160
one overall and he's got a target on his back,

462
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,000
we'll see that. Necessarily, the Jets always just seem to

463
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:26,759
ruin quarterback. So you pray that Mendoza doesn't go to

464
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:29,200
the New York Jets. But little college football news, ap

465
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,759
your thoughts Mendoza winning the Heisman. Just want to take

466
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:33,519
a little bit of a break. But breaking news here.

467
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,279
Speaker 6: I mean it makes sense to me. You know who

468
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:39,240
my real Heisman pick was? It was it was that

469
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:41,279
linebacker at a Texas Tech's.

470
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: He's a dog. That guy's different as he's he's.

471
00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:44,839
Speaker 5: A good player. I think he's the best player in

472
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:45,519
college football.

473
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 6: But Mendoza is a good player, like he's the he's

474
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,000
the best player on the best team.

475
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: It makes sense.

476
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,279
Speaker 6: So out of the out of the finalists that were chosen,

477
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:58,160
that we're there in New York makes sense to me.

478
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,720
That would have been my go to. That would have

479
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,279
been my pick. But if I was being on as best,

480
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,240
the best college football player this year was Rodriguez out

481
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:06,839
of Texas Tech.

482
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:09,519
Speaker 4: Jake Arriguez had a phenomenal season. Not gonna go through

483
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:12,359
all the stats, but look there people locally that picked him.

484
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,720
I think he should have been one of the top four,

485
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:16,720
if not top three. He was up to so Diego

486
00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:20,000
Pavia played well. Look, there's a bunch of guys that

487
00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:22,880
are deserving the such award and you don't get participation trophies.

488
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,119
But Mendoza, like AP said, had the best record on

489
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,720
the best team. We'll see what they do, because I

490
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,839
believe it will be the Red Raiders matched up with

491
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,079
the Indiana Hoosiers. But you're gonna need the Red Raiders

492
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:36,960
to knock off Indiana and go to Well first after

493
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:39,519
knockoff Oregon to get to this semi final, and I

494
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:41,680
believe that they will. I believe they'll run Dante or

495
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,400
a Rock. But in order to do that, first got

496
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,599
to win your first game. Didn't play Indiana unless they're

497
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,359
upset by Alabama O Oklahoma, which I don't see happening,

498
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,960
and then to play in the National Championship game. It'd

499
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,920
be great for the Big twelve. Little other news and

500
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,920
notes surrounding as I mentioned at BAU Basketball. Finally back

501
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
to the Mayout centers. A lot of traffic starting. People

502
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,200
work that way on as I'll working my way back

503
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,759
from the women's game. Tip off schedule guys for seven

504
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:06,160
pm mounts the standard time, So once this show is over,

505
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,880
I'll be heading down to the Marriot to catch the

506
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,319
rest of the first half and second half actions. Today's

507
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,359
game is going to be broadcast on ESPN Plus BYU

508
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,720
right now two and oh all time against UC riverside,

509
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,720
including last's victory, the eighty six to eighty victory. It's

510
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,400
not going to be that way tonight, AP and I

511
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,079
will give you our scores predictions later, tell you what

512
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:26,680
the spread is. Last season is where Foreman Highlander and

513
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,640
current Cougar Nate Pickens. He had eighteen points, going six

514
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,160
to ten from the field in three of four from three.

515
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,400
Very sad that they can't play in this homecoming game.

516
00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:36,559
Well not really, I guess homecoming game, but play against

517
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:40,480
his former team, especially because Darien Williams playing against Kansas.

518
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:42,559
Sad that that's not going to be the case. But

519
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,039
at the end of the day, you go out and

520
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:47,920
you get the win for your brother. That's how it's been, guys.

521
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:50,319
But great phenomenal season by you eight and one overall,

522
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,200
two to zero at home. They on neutral sides are

523
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,640
six to one and they have a win streak of five,

524
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,839
looking to improve it to six to night. Let's just

525
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,200
give you a bau's next ranking as we finish up

526
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,359
this segment, net ranking BoA's number nine with the eight

527
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,160
and one record. As I mentioned here are their quala

528
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,039
one wins there three and one. The only loss that

529
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:09,200
they have is to Yukon, and you have to wonder

530
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,119
if Rob Wright doesn't turn the ball over, would be

531
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,119
why you be undefeated. A lot of people were upset,

532
00:23:13,279 --> 00:23:15,119
howse Bo your ranked number ten and eight people and

533
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,880
now other people are playing just as good of a

534
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,640
talent that's highering ranks, so you jump up.

535
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,319
Speaker 2: That's just the nature of how it works. Will you

536
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,400
beat a ranked team?

537
00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:24,839
Speaker 4: But I agree with some BO fans, is BYU really

538
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,799
a top six top seven team? And if they beat Yukon,

539
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,519
who I believe was the number three at the time,

540
00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:31,759
where what they had been ranked, what they've been top

541
00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:34,559
five you have to wonder with the undefeated BOE team

542
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,839
be in the top five if they beat Yukon I

543
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,240
c A. But that's their loss in TD Guard and

544
00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:41,839
AJ balled out in that game. AJ Everywhere's gone at

545
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,039
these NBA arenas. You see where AJ is going to

546
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:47,359
be playing at the high level in the NBA. Balling

547
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,960
out in the Delta Center, balling out in Madison Sture Garden,

548
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,720
balling out in TD Guarden. You see it, Rob Ritchie,

549
00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:54,079
those three guys are going to be playing at the

550
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,440
next level. They also have been balling out against Villanova

551
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,119
and neutral side.

552
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: That's a win.

553
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,759
Speaker 4: Miami down to Terry Chocolate Invitational, that was a win.

554
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,079
Beat Clemson that was another win. Here are your quad

555
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,119
two games, three and zero. You be Wisconsin at the

556
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,599
Delta Center. You spank them almost by thirty. You beat

557
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,720
Dating to bring home the championship. The top King was

558
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,519
the MVP. And then you beat cal Baptist by thirty

559
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:15,359
as well in the Delta Center. And then your quad

560
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,880
four games you beat Holy Cross and you beat Delaware

561
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,119
as well. We got to take a quick break though.

562
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,799
Let's come back on the flip. We'll get into more

563
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:26,200
of breaking down this matchup in our last segment. But

564
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,559
coming up next, we're gonna get into my interview with

565
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:30,880
Brandon Dunson. I caught up with him. He's gonna break

566
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,319
down a twenty twenty six recruiting class. He put out

567
00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:37,359
a tweet earlier in the year number one Juco number

568
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,680
one euro number one high school. We discussed that Jogo

569
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,160
Dimmen playing in the league was top ten pick kJ

570
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,720
Perry number one Juco has signed with BAU agent De

571
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,680
Bonson the number one high school, part of the twenty

572
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,160
twenty five class at BYU right now playing already, So

573
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,839
we'll discuss that and more. We'll get his matchup. What

574
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,960
is this scout and report on UC riverside? What do

575
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:57,519
they need to do?

576
00:24:57,839 --> 00:24:59,759
Speaker 2: How does he protict the last four games going? That

577
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:01,240

Welcome back to the Cougar Basketball pregame show, Ronald the

616
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:41,279
three Man Weaver. Here on the second stop of our

617
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,519
journey of our first show. Gonna get caught up one

618
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,640
of the assistants that are on the team right now,

619
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,640
I have Brandon Dunson joining me. I don't know if

620
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,920
I've made this connection yell with coach, but Coach and

621
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,359
I both from Illinois as well, so when I first

622
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,039
found out that he was coming, I was super excited

623
00:26:57,039 --> 00:26:59,720
to send him a message. Anytime I could find someone

624
00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,920
from the state of Illinois near Chicago out in Provo. Look,

625
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,599
it's not too many of us, so coach. When I

626
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,599
found out you're joining staff, I was super excited.

627
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,799
Speaker 7: No doubt, no doubt. Always good to see another Illinois native.

628
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: Of course, let's just get caught up. How was a

629
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:18,279
Thanksgiving down in Florida? Did the family travel? You guys

630
00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:20,279
picked up some big time wins down there?

631
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was great.

632
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:25,279
Speaker 7: My wife and my son traveled so that that was fun,

633
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,440
and she had some family.

634
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,279
Speaker 3: That I also traveled there, so it was definitely fun.

635
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,559
Speaker 7: Picked up some wins, got better and played some good competition,

636
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,799
So it was a great trip.

637
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:39,559
Speaker 2: Definitely a great trip. You guys right now, aid and

638
00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:40,400
one on the season.

639
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 3: Sorry you just I just lost you?

640
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: Did you lose me? You still got me?

641
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,519
Speaker 3: Gotcha?

642
00:27:46,759 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: Got me? Kay? They been disconnected there for a second.

643
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,599
Speaker 4: You guys are eight and one right now on the

644
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,240
season in non conference, played through nine games. Just recap

645
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,240
it for us a little bit, obviously the one lost

646
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,200
to Ukon, But you guys have battle back. It seems

647
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,599
like this season the BAU basketball team has been a

648
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,359
second half team.

649
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure, and.

650
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:07,519
Speaker 7: That's definitely something we're working on and getting getting going.

651
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: In the first half.

652
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 7: But I think we've built and shown some great resiliency

653
00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:16,920
to be able to handle adversity. Our guys are starting

654
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,680
to figure each other out. I think around the Wisconsin

655
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,119
game is when it started. Just figure out where guys

656
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,759
like the ball, what situations to put guys in. And

657
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:28,920
now I think really down in Orlando we did a

658
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,960
good job of figuring figuring each other out defensively and

659
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,480
and and uh being able to understand our schemes a

660
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,519
little bit more. So, I think things have been really good.

661
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:43,920
The chemistry is coming together, and yeah, just just looking

662
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,960
forward to continuing that.

663
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:49,079
Speaker 4: What's impressed you the most about how this team, especially

664
00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:51,480
the starters, have been able to adapt to each other.

665
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:53,359
Last year, Richie, you know, the ball was mainly in

666
00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:55,240
his hands. It's still in the hands at times, but

667
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:57,319
it's play more off ball with a J and Rob

668
00:28:57,519 --> 00:28:59,839
coming in and still thriving in the system.

669
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

670
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 7: No, I think every year it's a different team. You

671
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:05,599
got a new group, it's a new identity, and we

672
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,039
knew that heading into this year, so like it always

673
00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:10,839
takes a little bit of time for that to happen.

674
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,279
Everybody's in different roles and they than they were, especially returners.

675
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,480
But I think everyone's adjusted well and I think, like

676
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:19,680
I said, that Wisconsin game was kind of the first

677
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,759
time we really saw it where guys were starting to understand, Okay,

678
00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:26,599
I can get the ball in these positions, I can

679
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,119
I can get this guy the ball in these positions,

680
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,839
and I think they've all bought into it. It's We've

681
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,359
got a very, very unselfish team. I've coached a lot

682
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,119
of different teams, and it's rare that you have guys

683
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,799
who just really they're just excited for everybody else and

684
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,880
whatever they may get that game they get. And I

685
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,599
think that's been the mentality of our guys, and it's

686
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,119
been the mentality for for our top guys, which it

687
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,039
permeates throughout the rest of the team.

688
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: So that's been good to see.

689
00:29:57,559 --> 00:30:00,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, whenever, regardless of who's scoring or making a play,

690
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,440
the bench is always excited. They're always standing up for

691
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,319
their guys. And you can definitely tell that the culture

692
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,079
that you as well as Kevin Young hat Bill, you

693
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:10,920
can definitely see that. I want to go back to

694
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,440
the Terry's Chocolate Invitational, kind of get a little bit

695
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,400
of nerdy because I like to watch film and actually

696
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,599
know so I always tell people's media members.

697
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:18,559
Speaker 2: I don't want to look bad.

698
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: In front of the coaches, who looks stupid, but just

699
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,039
talk about the development of AG. I'm gonna take you

700
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:25,200
through three plays. You probably know exactly what they are,

701
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,640
but the game's tied. He gets the ball, the double,

702
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,319
Cum swings at the rob, rob hits a three, double

703
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,279
comes again. The next play, swings at the rob, swings

704
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:36,039
at the richie and one three, and then again down

705
00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:38,519
the stretch, double swings it out, gets it back, takes

706
00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:40,839
it down. Ice is the game because Kaba seals the guy.

707
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,440
It just his his decision making, his playmaking. Because in

708
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,720
the Yukon game, remember maybe he was forcing a lot,

709
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,839
you know, trying to do too much. But in just

710
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,119
two or three games, AJ adapts and he just grows

711
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,160
so much, and like, to me, you know, to me,

712
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,920
that's why I think he's the project, projected future number

713
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,000
one pick in the NBA When I see plays like that.

714
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No.

715
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 7: One of the big reasons we recruited AJ. Everyone always

716
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,960
talked about his scoring, but when we watched him, it

717
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:13,079
was his ability to make the right play every single time,

718
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:15,880
and that that was a huge thing for us. I

719
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,960
know he forced a little bit early in the Yukon game,

720
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,000
and at halftime with a couple of us talked to

721
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:23,079
him and it's like, look, just play your game like

722
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,599
you're good. And at that point he just started going

723
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:28,720
back to his decision making. Is his route, what's the

724
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:31,599
best decision, And that's when he's at his best.

725
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,839
Speaker 3: And I actually think he's a lead at it.

726
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 7: And like I said, for someone to have the hype,

727
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,920
the pressure, everything that comes with it that he's had

728
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,359
for the last four or five years, I don't know

729
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:48,880
that there's many, if any guys that are unselfishes him

730
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,640
being in that situation.

731
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: He truly does not care how many points he scores.

732
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,039
He assists all.

733
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,279
Speaker 7: He cares that if you guys have fifty six, we've

734
00:31:57,319 --> 00:32:01,920
got fifty seven. And so he understands he's.

735
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 3: Got such a high IQ.

736
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 7: He understands that he's going to command a lot of attention,

737
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,920
and so his whole thing is, I'm going to get

738
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,640
the advantage.

739
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: Once I get the advantage.

740
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 7: Where's the help get it to the guy where I

741
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,720
can keep where we as a team can keep the advantage.

742
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:19,319
And I think he's done a great job of that,

743
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,680
and he understands where his teammates need the basketball. He

744
00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:25,279
understands who's going to be cutting, who's going to be shooting,

745
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:28,519
where they're going to be spacing. And I think Coach

746
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:30,559
Young has said this quite a few times.

747
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,119
Speaker 3: He's able to.

748
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 7: Process information so quickly and make adjustments.

749
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,279
Speaker 3: On the spot.

750
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,359
Speaker 7: And that's a rarity to see guys eighteen year olds

751
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,240
coming out of high school being able to do that.

752
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 3: So that's what makes them special.

753
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: Speaking of adjustments, what adjustments did you guys make in

754
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,720
that second half against Clemson?

755
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:52,559
Speaker 2: You were clicking on all cylinders.

756
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,599
Speaker 7: Well, I mean we turned the pressure up a little

757
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:58,119
bit defensively to try to get us going a little

758
00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:01,200
bit more and turn them over and get our energy up.

759
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,160
And honestly, it wasn't we went into halftime. It wasn't

760
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,079
a long talk like we knew what to do and

761
00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:08,400
it was just a matter of you guys got to

762
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,960
do it. And before we got into the as a

763
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,960
coaching staff, before we got into the locker room, the

764
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:18,799
guys all got together themselves and basically five or six

765
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,759
guys spoke up and said, Hey, this is not us.

766
00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:22,480
We got to pick it up. We know we got

767
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,400
to do better, and that's the signs of a team

768
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,680
that has the ability to be great coaching themselves. And

769
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:33,599
that's pretty much what they did at halftime, and then

770
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,839
it allowed us to not worry about anything but schematic adjustments.

771
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,200
And so that's what we did and played to our

772
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,279
strengths and ended up coming out on top.

773
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,759
Speaker 4: So you definitely did. Now I got to ask you

774
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:50,240
from your vantage point, Billy. Social media does a good

775
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:52,400
job of getting reactions and everything I saw. You just

776
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,480
had a big smile your vantage point court side of

777
00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:56,599
the buzzer beater of Rob.

778
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,119
Speaker 2: Right, you got to take me through your point.

779
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,079
Speaker 3: I mean, it wasdiculous. So that was the actually the

780
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:02,680
third option.

781
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 7: We had just worked on that play in practice a

782
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,119
couple of days before, and.

783
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,119
Speaker 3: So it was it was amazing.

784
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 7: Once they took Richie and Aj away, he knew he

785
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:16,480
was the next one. It's funny Coach Lenahan saw the

786
00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:20,559
play developing before it happened, and before Rob even took off,

787
00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:23,719
he was yelling step into it, Rob, step into it.

788
00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:26,599
Speaker 3: And then yeah, it was it was an amazing shot.

789
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 7: And then uh, Rob, Rob hit the shot, and I'm like,

790
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,719
why did you run over there after you hit the

791
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,760
shot and he said, I saw Common, so I had

792
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,039
to go down. He's one of my favorite actors. I'm like, well,

793
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:40,159
you know, he was a rapper before it was an actor, Right,

794
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:42,280
It's true. I don't carry all my favorite movie. So

795
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,199
he said he literally ran that way purposely to wap

796
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,639
up Common after he made it.

797
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:48,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been going viral.

798
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 4: I'm looking at him like, is that Common celebrated in

799
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,960
the circle man? The team chemistry. I love the vibe

800
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,119
two of the team, you know, the threes on the

801
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:59,199
face like this the Oklahoma City Thunder vibe where they're

802
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:01,079
doing an interview. You got you tell the students team

803
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,239
has love. But let's get some love to you. You

804
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,400
tweeted out something you know, obviously when everything you know

805
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,639
has to get official, we know, but you tweeted out

806
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,440
number one euro O, number one, Juco number one high school.

807
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: I got to show you some love to just take

808
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:14,760
us through that.

809
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,639
Speaker 4: Yegor Aj and our kJ Perry love kJ Perry's games,

810
00:35:18,679 --> 00:35:20,719
speak on kJ and then the rest of the twenty

811
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,199
twenty six class that has been signed so far.

812
00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:26,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure. I mean our staff.

813
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 7: I think we do a great job of tapping into

814
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:32,840
every resource we have. We have guys who are tied

815
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,480
in Europe and Africa the high school level, different different

816
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:40,280
areas here, junior college levels. So I think we're very,

817
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,000
very pointed about the players that we recruit and the

818
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:47,000
more important the people that we recruit. It's a big

819
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:50,760
thing to recognize fit and once we recognize the fit,

820
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,719
we do everything we can to get them. And for us,

821
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,400
it's like, hey, if we fit you, great, if we

822
00:35:56,519 --> 00:35:58,480
don't great, Like it's got.

823
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,079
Speaker 3: To be a two way thing. So as much as.

824
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 7: We're trying to get them to come, we're also trying

825
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,440
to look at them and say are you really a fit?

826
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,559
With every moment, And I think that's unique to us.

827
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,239
We don't just want to get the best players, we

828
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,199
want to get the right fits, and I think with

829
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,480
all those guys, it was that kind of thing. Speaking

830
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:24,639
on twenty twenty sixth class, Obviously we've signed two local kids,

831
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,840
Dean Rutgerd and We'll Openshaw, which I'm gonna be big

832
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,079
pickups for us. Will Is gonna do his mission, Dean's

833
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:36,159
coming in next season. But we've obviously been following them

834
00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:39,079
since we got the job, and Coach Burgess has known

835
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:41,840
both of those guys a lot longer than the rest

836
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,840
of us have, but definitely.

837
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,639
Speaker 3: Great fits for the program.

838
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 7: kJ Perry, he'll actually get in here next week. Had

839
00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:55,360
followed him since he was in high school at Gilbert

840
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,719
High School. Then he moved over to Palisades in California

841
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,199
and just kind of followed his trajectory and when he

842
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,320
got to junior college level and saw what he was

843
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,599
able to do at Citrus one of the best junior

844
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:12,679
college programs in California and frankly in the country. They've

845
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,079
got a coach that I used to coach against when

846
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:16,119
I was coaching in Nai.

847
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: I was at Arizona Christian University.

848
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 7: He was at Concordia University in Irvine and has always

849
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,519
done a great job. And I think his athleticism, his upside,

850
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,199
the way he approaches the game. I think he has

851
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,840
a chance to be really good, and he's very humble

852
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,719
and wants to get better. So we're really looking forward

853
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,320
to adding him. He'll sit out this year this semester

854
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,360
and then be ready to go next year, but I

855
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,639
think he'll add to our practices quite a bit. I

856
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:48,119
think one are the big things that really helped us

857
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,360
last year. I mean, we had twelve or thirteen guys

858
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,760
who were just they weren't too far off, and so

859
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,000
our practices were always so competitive. And it's been the

860
00:37:57,039 --> 00:37:59,960
case this year as well. But with Dawson going out,

861
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,480
with Nate Pickens going out, with Brody not being in,

862
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:06,920
we we've struggled a little bit in practice just with

863
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:09,920
with with depth. So I think he's gonna he's definitely

864
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,920
gonna add to that and be able to to UH

865
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,960
show when he's on the scout team, show what some

866
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,960
of these other programs UH can do when we're when

867
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:20,960
we're preparing for guys.

868
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: He gives us a quick athletic UH and explosive guard.

869
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:30,199
Speaker 7: And then obviously Abdullah Med huge pickup for us. He's

870
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,639
been here for about three or four weeks UH in

871
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,719
the in the Pro Bowl area. Now we haven't had

872
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,119
been able to work with him or do anything like that.

873
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:41,880
He's kind of been working out on his own. But

874
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,599
a big body, great experience, and again a guy who

875
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:49,880
will add a lot of depth and practice and very physical,

876
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:53,880
very skilled, and he'll be able to provide a great

877
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,519
look for our guys in preparation for games.

878
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, the great, great class. Love what I see from

879
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,400
all of the guys KG. It reminds me of like

880
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,519
John Moran, humble dude. I think he's definitely gonna be

881
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:08,199
a face excited to see him playing for you to

882
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:09,960
get those guys on the court for some depths, and

883
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,719
then another idea for a coaching staff not to have

884
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,480
to practice with fulled up. I know that they want that.

885
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:17,199
Let's get you out of here on this because I

886
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,599
know you're busier, Thomas, precious, Scott and report. What do

887
00:39:20,639 --> 00:39:23,400
you see on tape from you see Riverside? You guys

888
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,440
take them on tomorrow.

889
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, you see Riversides that they're a very good team,

890
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,559
really athletic, big guards. Gus Arginal their head coach was

891
00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:36,039
at San Bernardino the last two years and two years

892
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:38,679
ago actually was in a Division two final four. So

893
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,199
I coached with him at a number of stops at

894
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,880
Nevada at Fullerton. He's got some really really good guard player.

895
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,159
It all starts with their two guards, Worthy and Henderson.

896
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,440
Worthy was a super productive guard and a big time

897
00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:55,599
league in the A ten at UMass the last couple

898
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:58,400
of years and a huge steal for them. And then

899
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,480
he also brought Henderson and with him from Sam Bernardino.

900
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:04,079
Henderson was seventeen points a game and one of the

901
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,880
best D two leagues in the country. And I've co

902
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,519
set that level and I know, like the guards at

903
00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:11,960
that level or every bit is good as the guards

904
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,039
Division IE level, and it's proven by why what he's

905
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:17,440
able to do. So it's gonna start with slowing those

906
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,599
two guys down. I mean, they're both six four sixty

907
00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:23,480
five and versatile. They're physical. He's got grown men on

908
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:28,400
the team. Grady from their team, a UVU transfer, is

909
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:32,880
very very talented. It's six' nine versatile. Forward so slowing

910
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,440
those three is going to be the biggest. Thing, defensively they're,

911
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,480
athletic they're, Physical he's got a lot of positional. Size

912
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:44,199
so being able to uh combat that with our ability

913
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,840
to run the floor and play in transition and and

914
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,320
try to create some mismatch, scenarios that's gonna be big for.

915
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 4: Us, well, coach thank you for the scoutterpol would definitely

916
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,639

00:44:54,039 --> 00:44:56,719
espn Matchup, PREDICTOR byu is predicted to win this. Game

1015
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,239
they have a ninety eight point seven percent. Chance you

1016
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,000
see riverside that has a one point THREE byu is

1017
00:45:03,039 --> 00:45:05,320
a thirty four and a half point. Favorite that's what

1018
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,079
it opened, down is dropped down to thirty three and a.

1019
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:09,239
HALF i BELIEVE byu will. Covered this is not a

1020
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,119
good basketball.

1021
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 2: TEAM. Nba you should take care of. IT.

1022
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: BYU i don't know if they crack one. HUNDRED i

1023
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,840
don't know if one hundred will occur to. Night i'm

1024
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,159
not gonna take, that BUT, Ap i'm Gonna i'm gonna.

1025
00:45:18,159 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 3: Go.

1026
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,159
Speaker 4: Uh this is gonna be my score prediction of my

1027
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,719
keys to the. Game gotta win the offensive rebounding. Battle

1028
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,920
you need to shoot the three ball, better get out

1029
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,719
to a faster, start get up early ON uc riverside

1030
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,719
and put the game. Away you need to have the

1031
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,679
guys come off the. Bench you Need Alexi kocher to

1032
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:35,320
come in And dominique And kadeem and make an impact right,

1033
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,639
away get early on the, glass defend pushing, transition AND

1034
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:41,639
i think he'll be all right with. THAT i need

1035
00:45:41,639 --> 00:45:43,360
one of those guys to be in double, figure whether It's,

1036
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,840
kadem whether It's Alexi, Koscher. Dominique somebody needs to have

1037
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,239
a career high. Tonight somebody needs to have a career,

1038
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,920
high AND i think it will. Occur so here's my score,

1039
00:45:51,079 --> 00:45:52,639
PREDICTION ap and Then i'll turn it over to.

1040
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: YOU i THINK.

1041
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,599
Speaker 4: Byu wins this game eighty eight to fifty. FIVE i

1042
00:45:56,639 --> 00:45:59,679
think somewhere in, THERE i, think but eighty eight to

1043
00:46:00,039 --> 00:46:03,559
actually it take it back eighty eight to fifty, FOURISH i,

1044
00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:05,360
think be what you will go. There don't know if

1045
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,880
they'll crack. NINETY i do think they'll cover the thirty

1046
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,440
three and a half point, spread BUT.

1047
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: I got them by a.

1048
00:46:10,039 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 4: Few SO i go eighty eight fifty fifty four right

1049
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:16,199
in that, march and they cover it. Barely AND i

1050
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,199
believe that you'll have someone off the bench finally have

1051
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,639
a career. NIGHT i believe they'll have The Marriott center

1052
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:23,320
action the fans behind them after the thirty two day

1053
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:24,960
road trip that they've been.

1054
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 6: On, Yeah i'm gonna agree with you on, rebounding But

1055
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,400
i'm gonna Say i'm actually gonna change it a little.

1056
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 5: Bit my key is they need to get their defensive.

1057
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 6: Rebounds they've let way too many offensive rebounds happen on,

1058
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:38,280
them especially off of free.

1059
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 5: Throws that to me is.

1060
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 6: Wild that's your most basic rebound box out grab a.

1061
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,119
REBOUND i want them to focus on getting the defensive.

1062
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:50,719
Rebounds And i'm with. YOU i need bench scoring in

1063
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,920
specifically bench. Threes so those are my two k's two,

1064
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,679
keys defensive rebounds and bench three. Pointers and my score

1065
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,559
prediction is it's gonna be. SIMILAR i don't think we

1066
00:47:01,679 --> 00:47:04,000
break one. HUNDRED i do think we get in the.

1067
00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:07,320
Nineties it's gonna be ninety one to sixty. Three but

1068
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,000
it's gonna feel like a bigger victory than. THAT i

1069
00:47:10,039 --> 00:47:12,599
think when we put IN i want the bench players

1070
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:15,039
in for the rest of the. Game with five minutes

1071
00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:17,320
left in the, game five minutes, left it should be

1072
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,400
in the, bag AND i want five minutes of just

1073
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,079
the bench. Players AND i think they're gonna let a

1074
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:24,159
few buckets in make it a little bit. Closer twenty

1075
00:47:24,199 --> 00:47:26,920
eight points is not, close BUT i that's my. Prediction

1076
00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:28,000
ninety one sixty.

1077
00:47:28,039 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 4: Three ninety one sixty three is WHAT ap is. Going

1078
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,760
so he's governed not covering the. Spread spread open up

1079
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,239
at thirty four and a, half and now it's thirty

1080
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,559
three and a. Half it's dropped. Down over under for

1081
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:41,159
this game is one hundred fifty. Five LIKE i, Said

1082
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:43,519
i'm gonna go eighty eight fifty. FOUR i THINK ba

1083
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,800
covers just. BARELY i, think especially at, home it's give

1084
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,840
you a little bit of more. Update you See riverside

1085
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,800
coming in averaging just under seventy five. Points it is

1086
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,039
seventy four point EIGHT byu average in eighty three, points

1087
00:47:54,039 --> 00:47:57,000
SO i definitely think that you See riverside coming off

1088
00:47:57,039 --> 00:48:00,159
of a. Win they just beat Cal polly, Reminder i'll

1089
00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:02,400
probably Beat. Utah so to the school up north is not.

1090
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,920
Good and anytime a team beats the school up north

1091
00:48:05,079 --> 00:48:07,440
and then that team beats that, team to beat the

1092
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,239
school up, north, No i'm getting maybe a little tongue.

1093
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,519
Speaker 2: Tied you need to go beat that. Team SO ba

1094
00:48:11,679 --> 00:48:12,639
needs to go BEAT Uc.

1095
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 4: Riverside BUT ba has won his last, five AS i

1096
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:18,760
previously already. Mentioned SO i guess that's a good question

1097
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,360
to ask us how much will The big three?

1098
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 2: Half to? Know how many minutes will they?

1099
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 4: Play we know That Kevin young likes to play their

1100
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,760
starters as much as, possible as long as, possible but

1101
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,519
how long WILL byu play their starters to That i'm

1102
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:33,639
with AP i think around that six to five minute mark.

1103
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,599
Left in a, SECOND i need to see all the

1104
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:37,440
starters on the. BENCH i would like to See Xavion,

1105
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:40,880
Staton Kadema, boot a bunch of. Dudes AND i just

1106
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,079
want to remind people remember in the Calp baptist game

1107
00:48:43,079 --> 00:48:45,400
When alexi coaches fouled, Out Rob wright had to come

1108
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,039
back into the. Game can't, Happen so don't get in foul,

1109
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:50,360
TROUBLE i think is another key to the. Game bau

1110
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,719
ranked tenth and Ap pole has already mentioned tenth in the.

1111
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,480
Coaches they're eleventh In Kim. Palm now excuse, ME i

1112

four and, Eleven age De bonds is the top, Scorer

1115
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,039
kvaketa is the top rebounder with. Seven Rob wright auditioning

1116
00:49:06,039 --> 00:49:08,800
out about six assists a game At billie's, defense which

1117
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,159

1118
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:15,199
Tonight but, guys that's our score. Prediction Andrew peterson, says
