Wealth Advisors, NFLPA Certified Financial Planner Blaine Anderson. Today we're

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,240
going to read between the lines here LJ. Martin postgame commentary,

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,039
Matt he had an iconic and singular, just a unique

17
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:46,640
performance that I think will be herold is one of

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,960
the greatest rushing performances in BYU football history. I enumerated

19
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:56,039
the top ten in the post game on my Twitter

20
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:57,880
you can check that out, but I'll tell you a

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,719
little bit about them. Like most of these games did

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,879
not mean a whole lot. Most of these games had

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,519
no conference championship ramification nor you know, any sort of

24
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:18,280
like post season ramification. Uh, this game did. LJ shined

25
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:23,359
brightest when the moment mattered most, and so you got

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,239
to celebrate that.

27
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: LJ deserves to be.

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,599
Speaker 1: In the same you know, considered the same type of

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,560
football player is that of maybe Tyler I was ere

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,519
Jamal Williams. How about Tsam Hill as a quarterback, running back,

31
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:43,719
Guys like Eldon Fourtai, you know these iconic names of

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,640
the past, really good football players that balled out for

33
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:49,799
Brigham Young University.

34
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: I remember Ronnie Jenkins.

35
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Two, he had two undred and fifty yards which of

36
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,959
San Jose State in nineteen ninety nine. How about Jamal

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,959
Williams versus Nevada in twenty thirteen, or Jamal Williams versus Toledo.

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,480
That was an all time performance and that was a

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,560
big game. That was a game actually during independence they

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,759
had a good quarterback and a great running back. I

41
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:18,000
believe the Toledo quarterback in two thousand and sixteen. And

42
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:21,360
I'm trying to remember his name. Now, Logan wood Side,

43
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:25,319
look this guy up. Okay, he had a stellar season

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,319
that year, and I think he was considered maybe even

45
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:32,159
a Heisman candidate for a while. He was a great

46
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:35,120
football player playing in the NFL. Shoot, he may still

47
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,840
be in the NFL for all I know. Cincinnati Bengals

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,840
twenty eighteen, he's in the NFL.

49
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: Still, bro Logan wood Side, he's in the NFL.

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: He was on the practice squad with the Bengals twenty eighteen,

51
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,800
Tennessee Titans twenty eighteen, San Antonio Commanders in twenty nineteen.

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,560
Then he got re reacquired by the Tennessee Titans. He

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,400
was on the fifty three man if I'm not mistaken

54
00:02:57,439 --> 00:02:59,960
with the Titans in twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two,

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,680
then with the Atlanta Falcons from twenty twenty two to

56
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:05,280
twenty twenty three. Was with the Bengals last season. Now,

57
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:08,039
he was with the Pittsburgh practice squad in twenty twenty five.

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,719
That was the starting quarterback TV. That was a big game. Actually,

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,960
that was a pretty big game versus a good football team.

60
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,759
Twenty sixteen. We were right on that. We were knocking

61
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,960
on the door. In twenty sixteen to becoming an elite team,

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,639
you had Taysom and Jamal. I was still a great,

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,879
like almost a three hundred yard performance, an elite performance

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,879
from jpole Jamal Williams. Man, what could have been in

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,759
twenty sixteen just came up short, Man, just came up short.

66
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,039
Too many close loss Remember you lost to Utah by one,

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,599
You lost the UCLA by three, You lost to West

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,639
Virginia by three, You lost the Boise State by one.

69
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:54,159
Speaker 2: Jeez. Anyway, Sorry, I'm reflecting all this stuff.

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Logan Woods. I was in Kareem Hunt. Who's still playing

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,520
for the Cincinnati Bengal or Cincinnati No, he's playing for

72
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,039
the Cansadi Chiefs. Gareem Hunt still on that roster balling

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,520
out for Andy Reid. Anyway, I digress. But LJ deserves

74
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,080
to be in that in that same conversation as all

75
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,040
an all time BYU back and an all time BYU

76
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:21,839
single game performance. Okay in my personal opinion. All right,

77
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,160
so I want to get into this sound LJ post game.

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,480
What do you had to say about the performance? You know,

79
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,560
he's he's not long winded. He's not a guy that

80
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:33,040
likes to talk about himself a whole lot, pretty soft spoken,

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,759
and so we'll get into it here momentarily, but hey,

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,439
I want to remind you guys that he is being

83
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:39,560

92
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,199
some cougar cuts if you will, LJ. How are you

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,079
feeling after a career night versus Cincinnati?

94
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: Uh?

95
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: Feeling good?

96
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:13,439
Speaker 5: I mean it was real fun, you know, be able

97
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,360
to touch the ball that many time things, have a

98
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:16,199
good outcome, have a win.

99
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:16,879
Speaker 4: It was real fun.

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,199
Speaker 2: It was fun. Two hundred and twenty two yards was fun.

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: Man, thirty two totes and three receptions, thirty four total touches.

102
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:27,079
Speaker 2: Was fun.

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: Was the game plan? To just pound the rock like

104
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,279
that or did it develop during the game.

105
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you're trying to have the mentality that we

106
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,920
should run on anyone.

107
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:38,879
Speaker 6: But you know, I think it just kind of developed

108
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:39,399
as it went.

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: On short and sweet baby, to the point it just

110
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,759
developed when it went on hot hand, hot hand, hot hand.

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: Keep feeding them, keep feeding them.

112
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: Do you have a thought about take Did you have

113
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:51,959
a thought about taking the knee before that touchdown?

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,519
Speaker 2: There was it a touchdown all the way? Oh?

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: I did.

116
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,319
Speaker 5: But then because I was asking them if we were

117
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:00,680
gonna need to stay so they're like, no, we need

118
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,720
to run the balls. I was like, if you guys

119
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:04,399
didn't want to score them, should never run the ball.

120
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

121
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh man me personally the way that the defense was

122
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,920
playing and how I'm to the point where I want

123
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,439
style points, especially on the road versus Cincinnati. I'm glad

124
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,720
he rumbled for a touchdown. I'm actually grateful he did.

125
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:28,000
It looked like a more dominant victory because he did it.

126
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,399
It would have been nice to convert on the two

127
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:31,600
point conversion. In my opinion, you probably should have given

128
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,319
him the ball again for the two point conversion.

129
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Right. If I was going to change anything.

130
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:39,639
Speaker 1: Don't let Bear throw it let LJ run it, let

131
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,160
him take you to the promised land, and he probably

132
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:46,319
would have picked it up, would have ended up being

133
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:49,480
what a twenty eight to fourteen win. That looked a

134
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:53,439
whole lot better, looks sexier anyway, LJ. Two hundred and

135
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:56,319
twenty two yards. It's never easy, but the offensive line

136
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
did help you a lot. Tell us a little about

137
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,000
that offensive line.

138
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, they made it super easy. I mean they were

139
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:05,879
getting wide open creases. They did a great job pushing

140
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,199
up front. They made it those part of the easiest

141
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:08,680
night of my.

142
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:13,759
Speaker 1: Life, easiest night of his life. That's interesting, right, because

143
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,839
he took a few shots. But what's crazy is he

144
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,120
wasn't taking shots from the defensive lineman. He wasn't even

145
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,920
taking shots from linebackers. Most of the hits that he

146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:28,079
took were from who third level defensive backs, corners and safeties.

147
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,720
That makes it a whole lot more fun when you're

148
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,279
taking on guys that are much bigger than you. Remember

149
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:35,439
when he had a stiff arm, he bounced it outside

150
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,920
and he's that poor cornerback, one hundred and seventy five

151
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,959
pounds of them, soaking wet, was trying to wrangle LJ.

152
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,279
Martin and Lj's just stiff arming them, stiff arming them

153
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:48,839
getting towards the sideline, moving upfield for an additional five

154
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,439
seven eight yards. That's what makes it fun, not taking

155
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:56,759
the big hits versus bigger opponents in the box.

156
00:07:57,639 --> 00:07:57,879
Speaker 2: LJ.

157
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,959
Speaker 1: It seemed like on a couple of runs you got

158
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,279
got up a little bit gingerly though, but once you

159
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,399
got the ball you were one hundred percent Again what

160
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,040
happened there?

161
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:09,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, just that's the same game

162
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,199
goes on. You know sometimes I'm just feel a little

163
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:13,920
tweaks and then you gotta walk it off.

164
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:19,439
Speaker 2: And you get up and always, you know, taking the shots.

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: A couple of shots here, essentially, if you touched the

166
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,560
ball thirty five times, you can't expect the man not

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,480
to at least get think that. I'll be honest, though,

168
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,519
we were all a little bit scared because you watch

169
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,639
Bear cringe and hurt his shoulders throwing shoulder and then

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,720
on the final drive, essentially l J. Martin, it gets

171
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,000
up a little bit gingerly, like no, please, we still

172
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:42,399
we still have one last home game. We got a

173
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,200
regular season, and we got to take on most likely

174
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:49,759
Texas Tech in the College or in the conference championship game. No,

175
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:51,919
not now not at the end of the year, had

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,240
a little bit of like a knock on wood, knock

177
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:57,440
on wood. But remember when b Yu in two thousand

178
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,759
and one was balling out scoring points that Gary croton

179
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:06,879
era had begun, Brandon Dolman was slinging it. Luke Staley

180
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,799
was Doke walk Dope Walker Award winning through his season.

181
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,200
And then at the end of the season what happened,

182
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:19,679
had some injuries, had some injuries, Luke got dinged up,

183
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,679
and then they couldn't win. They lost Mississippi State, or

184
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,600
said they beat Mississippi State, but then they lost a

185
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,879
why and then they lost in their Liberty Bowl game

186
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,279
because they were a little bit dinged up.

187
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:30,879
Speaker 2: They didn't have their Bill Cow back.

188
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,279
Speaker 1: So it's a it's an art to stay healthy throughout

189
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,440
a season, and LJ has done a pretty guys stay

190
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,039
good job of it this year. You talked about last

191
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,200
week how you were getting confident with that shoulder. Is

192
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,879
it safe to say you were confident and back to

193
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:47,759
your old self, LJ.

194
00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:51,799
Speaker 5: I just think the confidence is going to keep on growing.

195
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: And it's been fun.

196
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,279
Speaker 6: I mean, it's felt pretty good today.

197
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 5: So I would say it's probably gonna keep on growing.

198
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: Keep on growing, baby, keep bond going.

199
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: LJ, what's changed with this team the last two weeks

200
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,799
since that lost the Texas staff, you guys have been

201
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:06,320
runn the ball?

202
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,159
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we just got back to what we

203
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,120
were doing before. I think that by we we had

204
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,039
a little bit of extra times. We changed some stuff

205
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:16,159
and you're kind of doing things that we usually get

206
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,000
in so, you know, just getting back to our basics,

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,120
just doing things that we need to do. And I

208
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:21,799
feel like it's been working out pretty good.

209
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: I've loved the offensive line, physicality, how it's functioned, the

210
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,399
chemistry between these guys, Like the past pro has been fine,

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,879
it's been good. I've been utterly impressed by the run blocking.

212
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,639
They are in sync there in Unison. They're one cohesive unit.

213
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:49,279
They're one mind, one body, one heart. They really are, man,

214
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:56,039
they are in tandem, moving in like in Sync. Okay,

215
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,720
I don't know if the is it trying to think

216
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,960
of in Sync's best song. You know who know this?

217
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:06,559
Spencer Lynton. I think Spencer Lynton actually grew up dancington Sync.

218
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,519
I'm gonna text them right now. At any rate, these

219
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:12,279
b way you football offensive live. But they're in sync

220
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,039
right now. Man, It's so fun to watch. It is

221
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:19,240
fun to watch, man. It is choreographed violence.

222
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:22,919
Speaker 2: It is beautiful. Gotta celebrate it.

223
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm grateful in this week of Thanksgiving for this offensive line,

224
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,799
especially the last two weeks bouncing back after you know,

225
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:32,799
kind of a disappointing Texas tech outing.

226
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:34,279
Speaker 2: What's going to be.

227
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,159
Speaker 1: Different with this team to close out the job and

228
00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:39,559
reach Arlington because last year you guys came up a

229
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,279
little bit short.

230
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:43,759
Speaker 5: You know it's gonna we're gonna have to celebrate this

231
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,399
one to night and then just move on tomorrow because

232
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:47,440
you know it's gonna be a really good use UCF team.

233
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:50,320
And you know, I mean you've seen our conference. Anyone

234
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,759
could be everyone, anyone, So you know it's gonna be

235
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:54,399
a good game, and we gotta go go out there

236
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:55,080
and be ready to play.

237
00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: Gotta kids, keep on rolling, baby number nine. Do you

238
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:04,639
you get into the whole college football playoff style points

239
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,120
or discuss that in the locker room at all?

240
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: LJ.

241
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,279
Speaker 5: Not really, just because I mean Colonie always says, I mean,

242
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,039
if we win, we'll be in you know, so the

243
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,639
most important thing is to wining. So you know, we

244
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,200
gotta win every game and we'll be in. So if

245
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,360
you want to be in, just gotta win.

246
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:27,399
Speaker 2: If you want to be in, you just gotta win. LJ.

247
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,440
Martin put it on a T shirt. I'll buy it.

248
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
You had forty four receiving yards as well.

249
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: It feels like that is becoming a bigger piece of

250
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,320
maybe your game. When you're more of a factor in

251
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,879
the receiving game, you get more totes also in the

252
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,120
run game. Is that something you're feeling pretty confident in

253
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,639
as well.

254
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:48,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I did a lot of in high school,

255
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,919
so you know, I enjoyed catching the ball at the

256
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,200
Mackfield always wanted to be a receiver. I mean kind

257
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,519
of wanted to be like Chase, but you know, I'll take.

258
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,639
Speaker 2: The smaller role. Yeah, you're just too big and strong.

259
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:00,879
Speaker 1: Look, he was a good basketball player, well played hoop

260
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:05,279
all of his life. Was a great basketball player his

261
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:08,919
senior year. Was a bucket getter, played some point guard,

262
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,600
off guard, big body that.

263
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: Can weave his way through defenses.

264
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: In high school, I want to say as a receiving

265
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,320
running back. You watch his film and he was definitely

266
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,879
involved in the receiving game on the on his career,

267
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,679
I think.

268
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,759
Speaker 2: His four years of varsity football. He's a four year

269
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:28,840
varsity letterman.

270
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,799
Speaker 1: Played I guess minimally his freshman, a sophomore year, junior,

271
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:35,240
senior years was really balled out. But he had six

272
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:37,639
hundred and twenty seven total receiving yards, eleven point six

273
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:44,240
yards for reception, seventeen sorry, ten touchdowns in his in

274
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,840
his high school career as a receiver, he was a

275
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:49,559
running back receiver, right, they'd split him out though they'd

276
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,120
put him out in ISO situations, they'd motioned him out

277
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:55,600
of the backfield. They do a really nice job, no

278
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,360
doubt about it.

279
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: All right, that's l J.

280
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:03,159
Speaker 1: Martin BYU running back in a little reading between the

281
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,799
lines postgame from the Cincinnati game.

282
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,159
Speaker 2: LJ. Martin in my opinion, Look, these are the top ten.

283
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,399
Speaker 1: Total rushing yard performances in BWAU football history. Jamal Williams

284
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,279
two eighty six versus the Leado on twenty sixteen. Eldon

285
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,159
four tied two hundred and seventy two versus George Washington

286
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,279
in nineteen sixty two. Tyler Rows year, that's an underrated

287
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,519
one right there, Virginia.

288
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,399
Speaker 2: That was a shootout.

289
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:30,679
Speaker 1: That was one of the most entertaining games under the

290
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:35,559
lights of level ever. I loved that game. People forget

291
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,159
about it. That was glorious. That was like BYU San

292
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Diego State in like the Marshall Faulk era, like in

293
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:48,000
the nineties with ty Deptmer, fifty points dropped on both sides.

294
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,559
Speaker 2: It was crazy.

295
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,759
Speaker 1: Tyler owse year was balling two hundred and sixt six

296
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:52,320
yards versus Virginia.

297
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,519
Speaker 2: He had himself a knight.

298
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill two hundred and fifty nine yards and who

299
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,639
knows how many touchdowns.

300
00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:59,159
Speaker 2: Versus Texas in twenty thirteen.

301
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,279
Speaker 1: Ronnie Jenkins two fifteen versus San Jose State, Pete Van

302
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,879
Fackenberg two forty seven versus Long Beach State.

303
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: LJ.

304
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: Martin two twenty two versus Cincinnati in twenty twenty five.

305
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:12,120
Behind him, Jamal Williams versus Nevada twenty thirteen, two hundred

306
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,080
and nineteen yards. Curtis Brown had two nineteen versus Air

307
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,919
Force and five. Curtis Brown also to seventeen versus Utah

308
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,759
State in two thousand and two. That was early on

309
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,960
his career, a rising star. Jeff Blong two fifteen versus

310
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600
Wyoming in nineteen seventy five, and then Luke Staley two

311
00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:32,960
o seven versus Utah State in one. So you see that,

312
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,120
you're like wow, like geez like like I said, taking

313
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:44,200
into account all factors, location, opponent ramplifications, that LJ. Martin

314
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,440
performance was something to behold uh and it immortalized him

315
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,200
as one of the best running backs in BA football

316
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,240

00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,400
a little college football. Tanner Wall, the great Wall of

352
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:28,599
pro from Man Tanderwall has had a great season thus far.

353
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,720
I think he's one of the top safeties in college

354
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,440
football sitting now with four iron t's on the season.

355
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,480
He got to pick it. He's back to back iron

356
00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:40,559
t's right now, got the pick sick pick six versus TCU,

357
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:43,400
and he got a nice pick, nice and easy one

358
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,160
in this Cincinnati game.

359
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:47,599
Speaker 2: On the road baller shot collar.

360
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:51,839
Speaker 1: Also, he's a part of the National Football Foundation Campbell Trophy.

361
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,640
I think he's a semi finalist the AFCA Good Works Team.

362
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:59,440
He may not only be nominated, he may be a

363

him greatly next season. He's played in and and and

371
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,640

Speaker 2: Single game this season.

373
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,640

395
00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:38,079
T wall Tanner, take us through that interception in the

396
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:39,480
third quarter versus Cincinnati.

397
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 8: We're in the bracket coverage there and quarterback Canda's initial

398
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,880
read to the boundary on the single side receiver and

399
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,960
then went back to the field, and I felt the

400
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,799
slot receiver had kind of beat the nickel and it

401
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,279
was kind of climbing pretty pretty fast, and so I

402
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,599
just tried to show some color and by the time

403
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,680
I got my head around, the ball was already in

404
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,960
the air, and so I know I was just gonna

405
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:00,599
I can get it.

406
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: Gotta get up there and go and get a nice

407
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,000
high point severely in her THROWNE. What happened in that

408
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:12,880
particular play, b what you brought pressure and flush Brendan

409
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,240
Soarsby out of the pocket. One of the game plans was,

410
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,599
obviously to get him outside the pocket, get him off

411
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,200
his point, get him on the run. Brendan Soarsby is

412
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,720
a really good pocket passer and a really good runner.

413
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,279
He's not a good thrower on the run. It's kind

414
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:32,880
of similar, I'll be honest. It's not the same, but

415
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,759
it's kind of similar to what Taysom Hill was at

416
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:40,559
b YU, great elite runner, better than in my opinion, Bear,

417
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,640
better than Brendan.

418
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill was.

419
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Taysom was a pretty accurate, decent pocket passer. You

420
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,200
get him on the run though, can't can't can't throw

421
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,319
on the run with it. Lack just can't throw on

422
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:03,400
the run. Throws like Bebi's into the turf. Brendan is

423
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,920
running right and he's a little bit off Ballance couldn't

424
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,680
get all of it into it, and he just floated

425
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,400
one up, you know, pop fly to our center fielder Tanner,

426
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,319
welcomes down with it.

427
00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: Boom, shaka laka.

428
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: Now Tanner, you guys had a lot of success stopping

429
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,640
Cincinnati's rush offense. What did you guys see in this

430
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:26,799
game in the game plan to stop that?

431
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,079
Speaker 2: Yeah?

432
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 8: I know, I thought the front seven played outstanding. You know,

433
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,000
I think JT and Keanu had had another great game,

434
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:36,279
both of them, and I thought the backers played well.

435
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,839
Speaker 2: Obviously, we'll be able to break it.

436
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:39,319
Speaker 8: Down a little more on film, but I thought the

437
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:42,000
front seven handled the run games extremely well tonight.

438
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: Great work by that defense or fraud, no doubt about it.

439
00:21:46,079 --> 00:21:48,799
Making Cincinnati one dimensional of the throw game.

440
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,279
Speaker 2: That was glorious.

441
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: Tanner, What does it say about you guys as a

442
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,200
team where you're able to grind wins out like this?

443
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's just kind of our our personality,

444
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,640
right that we're going to find a way to win

445
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,960
these games, and you know, you know, throughout the game

446
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,799
there might be some weird plays here there, you know,

447
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,440
then the game is scored twenty six points.

448
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:10,519
Speaker 3: You know.

449
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 8: I feel like sometimes it's kind of weird that the

450
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,599
funalt score we end up with. But we always find

451
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:17,279
a way to win, and that's what it's going to

452
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:18,799
take to get us to where we want to be.

453
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,640
So whatever that looks like, we'll we'll always.

454
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:21,839
Speaker 2: Take a win.

455
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,799
Speaker 1: Always get to take those those wins, no matter how

456
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:27,920
they come. What kind of statement do you think you

457
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,839
guys made on Saturday as far as the playoffs are

458
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,440
concerned and the committee is concerned.

459
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 8: I mean, I think we did exactly what we're supposed

460
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,799
to do, right, We're supposed to come in here and

461
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,039
win this game, and I think, you know, the way

462
00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:43,240
we handled the red zone. You know, their red zone

463
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:45,039
offense was supposed to be one of the best in

464
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,079
the country, and how we handled that extremely well. We

465
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,640
ran the ball, I mean how LJ had what two

466
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,599
hundred and thirty yards rushing something like that. So I

467
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:56,400
mean LJ deserves to be the Big twelve Offensive Player

468
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,400
of the Week. And I thought the old line played

469
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,200
outstanding too. So I think all around just just came

470
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,279
out and we're able to play a great game tonight.

471
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: Phenomenal, phenomenal performance, no doubt about it, from everybody, but

472
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,640
including big time LJ.

473
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:10,079
Speaker 2: Martin.

474
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: Why do you think this team has been able to

475
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,960
close out games in November and give themselves a chance

476
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,640
compared to maybe last year.

477
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:20,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think it's a focused thing for us.

478
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: I think it's us knowing, you know, it's going to take.

479
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 8: A lot of effort and a lot more preparation on

480
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,839
our part. But also it's you know, the love we

481
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,519
have for each other.

482
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: This team super.

483
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,839
Speaker 8: Tightening, and you know, we've been able to accomplish some

484
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,160
great things already this year and are working towards the

485
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,680
real things that we're excited about accomplishing. But I mean,

486
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,960
I feel like at the end of the day, there's

487
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,279
a lot of veterans on this team too, who were

488
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:43,279
on the team last year, who you know, it felt

489
00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:45,000
bad to be in the driver's seat and then lose

490
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:47,119
that ability to control our destiny.

491
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,599
Speaker 2: So we're trying to keep that in our hands.

492
00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:52,599
Speaker 1: You're the master of your own destiny, and you didn't

493
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,240
want to flay all at the end of the year

494
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:57,039
like you did, no doubt, like you did last year.

495
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: You brought up LJ.

496
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: What can you say about the type of leader in

497
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,920
the locker room?

498
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: I mean all of us.

499
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:06,559
Speaker 8: Lj's a quiet guy, so not not a super vocal

500
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:09,680
as a leader, but we know he's he the way

501
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,759
he performs with his play and he's he's just such

502
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:14,000
a focused guy. And you know that he came out

503
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,200
and the way that he played tonight, like that's just

504
00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:18,920
that's just, you know, shows who he is as a

505
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,799
player and in the game when he needed to have

506
00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:24,359
a game like that, he did, you know, and just

507
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,119
just so proud of how dominant he looked out there

let's get to it. K why postgame after the win

576
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,720
over the Wisconsin Badgers, AJ gets his.

577
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:45,279
Speaker 10: Four thousand about what seventeen minutes left in the game,

578
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:47,160
and you guys end up increasing your leader in the

579
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,839
next ten minutes?

580
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 4: What did you run back your team?

581
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that was impressive.

582
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: I thought tonight was the first game all year where

583
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:54,039
the everybody that we.

584
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: Brought here we brought in here for a reason.

585
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,319
Speaker 3: And I think you saw that tonight. I think the

586
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,599
road definition is getting more clear, and that stretch without

587
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,240
Hadem gave us a big lift. I thought Rob stepped up,

588
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Dominique Diomande came in and gave us a lift.

589
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: So it was it was good.

590
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: I was worried, honestly, like, man, how are we going

591
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,119
to weather this?

592
00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: Right?

593
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: And like to your point, now only do we weather,

594
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,920
but we increased the lead, which says a lot about

595
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,640
the rest of the team.

596
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: Why didn't you take him out when he picked up?

597
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,799
Speaker 1: All right, So let's highlight a few of the other guys. Obviously,

598
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,759
I highlighted Richie. He had five what three pointers, scored

599
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:26,599
twenty six points.

600
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: He led this team.

601
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: Aj Devons added eighteen points six rebounds to help the

602
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,200
Cougars go to four and one and earned their first

603
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:35,400
victory over a ranked opponent through season. Rob Right the

604
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,440
third also was great, added ten points and eleven assists.

605
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:41,720
Great distributor for great playmaker man. He is so quick

606
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:45,039
with his handle, and he's got great vision as well.

607
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,839
But a couple of guys that he mentioned there, we're

608
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,599
going to need individuals coming off the bench playing great

609
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,119
defense and finding ways to make an impact offensively. And

610
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,680
Dominique Diamonde was one of those guys. Ronald the three

611
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,039
man weaver you run attendance.

612
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,559
Speaker 2: It was visible. You could see how his length athleticism like.

613
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:05,519
Speaker 1: He looks a little bit awkward sometimes too, like the

614
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:06,920
way he like run his posture.

615
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,519
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, he's got like a little.

616
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: Ichabod crane type of thing going on, like a little

617
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:12,880
hunchback of notre down. I don't know, man, he's got

618
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,200
an odd posture. But man, he's long and athletic, and

619
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,000
really he was a bright spot coming off the bench.

620
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: What did you see?

621
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, he looks like that old head in the hood,

622
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,559
Ben that you know one hundred percent, that hype guy

623
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:29,279
I got that hunchback is like I got you the

624
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:31,039
whole way. Don't go no it can I be honest.

625
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:33,319
It's like Corey Brewer. That's what he reminds me of.

626
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:35,839
Corey Brewer, if anybody knows anyway, back to your point

627
00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:38,960
and all jokes aside, No, Ben, I thought him and

628
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:42,279
kadem Boop was the difference maker, especially Dominique. He comes

629
00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:44,400
in and it wasn't just that Aj was on the

630
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,519
bench in basketball being you know this and how this

631
00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:47,839
may apply to football terms.

632
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,319
Speaker 4: You gotta do what affect the game.

633
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,759
Speaker 11: He slowed the game down, he had he went to

634
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,920
the free throw line four times, hit all of his

635
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,799
free throws. You're starting to see why he was on

636
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:58,519
the U nineteen France team, right and why he played

637
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:00,880
like That's what I really thought. Gave Ba you the

638
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,200
advantage because yes, Bo, you wanted to push in transition,

639
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,440
but Wisconsin started to make a run. And what's your

640
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,839
best player on the bench in foul trouble. You have

641
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,640
to affect the game. So defensively he slowed Boyd down.

642
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,279
They made it a problem for Blackwell his defensive presence

643
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:14,960
and I thought once he got to the line, he

644
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:17,960
was phenomenal. And then Kadeem added that energy like, look, Ben,

645
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,799
there are not too many players that I've said this

646
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:23,039
over here. You need sometimes some brothers to hype the

647
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:25,359
crowd up. Could he even gets into a tie up right,

648
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,799
rips the ball from the guy, gets up, starts what

649
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,599
is throwing his hands up to the crowd and says

650
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,680
this is my you know what house right?

651
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,759
Speaker 4: And that energy is.

652
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:36,759
Speaker 11: Exactly what people needed and what BYU I think needed

653
00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:39,319
to keep the momentum because Wisconson made a late push,

654
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,680
but that eventually extended to run. So I grew with

655
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,160
Kevin Young. You saw in that game everybody that they

656
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,279
had and we wanted to see it.

657
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,599
Speaker 4: Could the bench step up?

658
00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 11: And I think everybody did that And I love what

659
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680
I saw from Dominiquons on last Friday.

660
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,759
Speaker 2: Let's get back to.

661
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: The sound k Why discussing the victory of the Wisconsin

662
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Badgers postgame his third.

663
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,359
Speaker 4: Foul, there was a dead ball. You could have done it,

664
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:01,599
and would you do it again?

665
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,599
Speaker 2: Is that the needs to.

666
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 12: Learn to them.

667
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: I'll leave him in every time, like I just I mean,

668
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,640
there's been millions, not millions, there's been a lot of

669
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,759
studies on the cost benefit of fouls and taking guys out.

670
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,640
I trust him, I trust Rob, I trust Richie, and

671
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,519
so I mean the thing about AJ, he's extremely smart.

672
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:20,559
We really only have to tell him something one time

673
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:22,680
and he does it, so he'll learn from that. But yeah,

674
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:23,319
I would do it again.

675
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the game has a life of his own.

676
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,200
As a life of this game.

677
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,279
Speaker 3: I thought this was this particular game. I mean, we

678
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,359
were really trying to space them out. We thought we

679
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,519
had a speed advantage, so I thought, really just holding

680
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:37,039
true to that, and I thought, you saw it's how

681
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:38,839
we got thirty four threes up. I thought we did

682
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,000
a good job with the spacing, and then we were

683
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,160
really trying to just execute the game plan defensively in

684
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,559
terms of the person out of this game. You play

685
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:48,759
a team like that that runs that continuity offense, you're

686
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:50,319
just gonna kind of see the same thing over and

687
00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:51,759
over and you got to kind of stay the course,

688
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:52,279
which we did.

689
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: Why were you able to all right, So so Ronnie,

690
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,440
I was impressed with the defensive veatfort obviously, but and

691
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,200
then also three point efficiency.

692
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: I think those two.

693
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: Things combined allowed for BAU to have this type of

694
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,519
margin of victory.

695
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, the three point shooting in the second half, I

696
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,119
think it was a difference maker. I think they were

697
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,039
five of fifteen or fourteen in the first half and

698
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:14,720
then they hit nine in the second.

699
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:15,799
Speaker 4: So I really thought that did it.

700
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:17,799
Speaker 11: And then definitely, like he said that different how they

701
00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:19,359
were to spread them out, Ben and guard them.

702
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,519
Speaker 4: They pressed them. But no, we always want to know, Ben.

703
00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 11: You always are telling me, Hey, find out what is

704
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,759
the coach's model, what a kind of they're saying. So well,

705
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:28,240
this is Kevin Young saying right now, especially for the

706
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,440
twenty twenty five to twenty six season, each game has

707
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,039
a life of its own. So that's why I asked

708
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:35,920
that question, what life was in this game? And you know,

709
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,920
and he mentioned it right there. So that's something that

710
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:41,079
is going to be a big part of this BAU team. Obviously,

711
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,160
the life of the game in the Yukon game was

712
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,960
you're down Canardo. Obviously, then Keba gets a concussion and

713
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,079
in this game, Okay, you're just down Canard even though

714
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:52,079
Nay Pickens is out. So each game is presenting new challenges.

715
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:54,240
But this was a good team win overall. And like

716
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:56,319
you said, Ben, I think by you can guard from

717
00:32:56,359 --> 00:32:58,920
the perimeter, even though Rob Wright is a little smaller.

718
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,000
You're saying you've seen Dawson Baker be committee. You've seen

719
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,759
all these guys in the highlow. Last year that was

720
00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:06,519
an issue. They ranked in the bottom in perimeter defense.

721
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:08,400
They like, they sucked. Let's just call it what it is.

722
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:10,559
They were not good. And this year you're seeing them

723
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:12,319
take that a little bit more pride in that and

724
00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:13,839
be way more physical with players.

725
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: Boom baby, let's get back to k why discussing the

726
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,160
win over Sconsin.

727
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm the success you had defensively in this game, though,

728
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,720
I think our guys I give our coaches a lot

729
00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:24,079
of credit.

730
00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:25,079
Speaker 2: That had a great game.

731
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,079
Speaker 3: Plan, and really it was the practice, flour and the attitude. Honestly,

732
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,400
you know what I said to the guys. If we

733
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,839
were in the NBA, we would have played about four

734
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,160
games by now. Instead we played none, and we had

735
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,200
to sit on that Yukon loss for way too long.

736
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:40,759
And so I think that really drove some motivation for

737
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:44,079
our guys, and I think that's a large part of

738
00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:45,160
why we came out and played well.

739
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 10: How much do you need this non conference to get

740
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:50,240
guys in familiar positions and everything, to have the familiarity

741
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:50,720
with the team.

742
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,839
Speaker 3: It's everything, man like, it's huge. It really is that

743
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,759
we I don't think I don't think we go do that.

744
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,880
And we have not played Carolina and we have not

745
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,079
played you, Villanova, and so.

746
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: It's the only way to learn about your group.

747
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:06,759
Speaker 3: And so you know, and I'm not gonna act like

748
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:09,519
I'm a savvy vet in the college game, but just

749
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,480
even two years in, I mean, you got one team

750
00:34:11,559 --> 00:34:13,719
last year, you figure that team out, and then everyone leaves,

751
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,119
then you got a new team, and now you got

752
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:17,920
to figure those guys out, and that's that could be challenging.

753
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,880
And I you know, I think Richie, me and him

754
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,760
had a little sit down yesterday, and you know, he's trying.

755
00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:23,519
Speaker 2: To fast track everything.

756
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:26,159
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, calm down, this is gonna take a

757
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:26,800
little bit of time.

758
00:34:27,079 --> 00:34:28,039
Speaker 4: We got to work through all this.

759
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:29,679
Speaker 3: We're not just gonna snap our fingers and be the

760
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:30,800
team we want to be now.

761
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: Tonight.

762
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 3: That was that's what our vision of this version of

763
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,119
BYU basketball looks like. And I thought we were clicking

764
00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:42,360
on all cylinders. Yeah, I mean, he's he's a gamer,

765
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,519
so he's gonna do his thing.

766
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,199
Speaker 4: You know, it was hard to get any rhythm.

767
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 2: You know, he hadn't practiced all we he hadn't han't.

768
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 3: Done anything since that Yukon game, and so we were

769
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,400
trying to use short stints with him, plus the Demons

770
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,800
playing well, and then I think he actually got banged

771
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,599
around again. I think Richie caught him with something. I said,

772
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:00,559
do you gotta stay away from Richie? Richie a wild man?

773
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,119
Just to stay away from him, but Cabe.

774
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: Is gonna do what he does. Man the NBA, what

775
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,079
does it mean to play in the NBA arenas? For

776
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,159
I love it.

777
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 3: I mean, for me, I'm more comfortable in these arenas

778
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,239
than I am the college ones.

779
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 4: I said that the other day.

780
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,079
Speaker 3: But I think it's cool. I think you're seeing it

781
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:16,679
more and more throughout college basketball.

782
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: You know, this is obviously a beautiful venue.

783
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,639
Speaker 3: We love coming up here, pretty comfortable up here, and

784
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:25,480
I think the guy's just it's, uh, it's really neat.

785
00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:26,559
Speaker 4: I think it's a cool experience.

786
00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 11: What's the next development in his drive game? You know,

787
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:31,280
kind of getting do you want him to get all

788
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,320
the way to the rim and kind of what's what's

789
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,760
his kind of next development to Pat?

790
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: I think just reading it, you know, I think, you

791
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,960
know we had a he was surgical tonight.

792
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 4: I thought in the post, you know he was.

793
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 3: He was picking his spots extremely well. Uh you know,

794
00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:47,920
some nights because of our shooting, they're gonna will be

795
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:50,280
more driving lanes and where he can't get all the way.

796
00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 4: To the rim.

797
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,679
Speaker 3: Other times, you know, they had a lot of big

798
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,239
bodies down there, so I thought he did a good

799
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,320
job of finding his spots.

800
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,599
Speaker 4: But yes, I mean, we want to get all the

801
00:35:57,639 --> 00:35:58,239
way to the rim.

802
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: He's very aware of that.

803
00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 3: But he's the rare air with some of the greats

804
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,280
where he can just get to a spot and there's

805
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,159
nothing you can do about it.

806
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 4: You know, how long canag will be up?

807
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:07,119
Speaker 3: No?

808
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:08,679
Speaker 8: Thanks, guys?

809
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it.

810
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,119
Speaker 1: That though, was k why discussing the win over Wisconsin

811
00:36:14,559 --> 00:36:16,880
went into a couple last things there, Ronnie, you were

812
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,119
in attendance in that scrum.

813
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 2: What do you make of it?

814
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: Like obviously Cannard Davis Junior is still to be determined

815
00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:27,079
what's going on with him. But I'm actually cautiously optimistic

816
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:30,840
that we'll see Canard Davis Junior earlier rather than later.

817
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,079
Speaker 11: I'm with you as well, I'm also cautiously optimistic. I

818
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:36,480
think that you will see him sooner rather than later.

819
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,639
I don't know if he'll play this week, but I

820
00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:41,840
definitely think maybe after this week you could see him play.

821
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,480
I mean, we'll just have to wait and see Ben.

822
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:46,199
But no, I mean the reporters have to ask the question,

823
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,280
even though it's the last question.

824
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 4: That's I think a very valid fair question to ask.

825
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 11: But no, I think, like you mentioned, because you mentioned

826
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,320
this last week, AJ that burst of explosion, getting that

827
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,360
first step and getting to the rim. Now, in the NBA,

828
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,920
because they don't play defense, and he's gonna be able

829
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,480
to draw fouls and get downhill, that's gonna be a

830
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,960
bucket every time. But in college right now, Ben, that

831
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:07,280
is that is a little bit of a factor, Like

832
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,280
he has to be able to get more explosive and

833
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,760
finish at the rim because you're not going to get

834
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,760
those calls. I will say this, though he shot three

835
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,440
of eight and you finished with eighteen points. He went

836
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,719
to the free throw line twelve times, made eleven attempts,

837
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:17,400
you know, army fouls.

838
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,079
Speaker 4: He drew eight.

839
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,519
Speaker 11: So that's why I always bring up that, yes, he

840
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:21,960
does need to work on it, but if he's not,

841
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,559
he's drawing fouls at a very high level and it's

842
00:37:24,559 --> 00:37:27,159
gonna make a lot of teams anger. Like Wisconsin was

843
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:29,159
not playing a mental game really well. They thought they

844
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:31,480
had it. Wrestled call it, and that's that's what you

845
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:32,920
do when you're six to nine and you got that

846
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,159
first step is even if you're not explosive, because people

847
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:39,119
respect your mid games so much and they overload or

848
00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:40,679
they get out of position. When you fake and you're

849
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:42,280
able to get him on your hip and you go

850
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,440
up and they're behind you, they commit a foul and

851
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,280
you get to the free throw line. So I believe

852
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,559
he is gonna have a lot of free throw attempts

853
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,920
been for the rest of the season. We'll see what

854
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,119
he does for the rest of non conference and especially

855
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:55,280
his conference play vamps up because you know how it

856
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,320
was last year with Yegor. They allow you to play

857
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,400
extremely physical teams like Iowa State. There not going to

858
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,920
hold it back, so we'll see what AG is able

859
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,280
to make.

860
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 4: Of it all.

861
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's get back to some sound. What about

862
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,159
Rob Wright the third the double double?

863
00:38:08,559 --> 00:38:12,639
Speaker 2: Uh. Look, it's hard to get eleven assists in a game. Uh.

864
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: He continues to become a playmaker for the VA Cougars.

865
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,800
He can score, but this man can distribute as well.

866
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,519
Let's listen to Rob Wright in the post game.

867
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:26,079
Speaker 4: Well, I'll talk about how you guys extended the league.

868
00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:28,239
With Aj on the bench for about ten minutes in.

869
00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 6: A second, it definitely was just us playing together and

870
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,360
just Garden.

871
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,079
Speaker 12: I think we did a great job againing stocks and

872
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:34,880
just againing on transition and making plays.

873
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,639
Speaker 10: You gave me a little more confidence in this game.

874
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,960
You know, you got a couple want least one starter out,

875
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,559
and then AJ goes to the bench and screeds and

876
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:43,039
you can not only handle it, you can expand the league.

877
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:45,519
Speaker 12: I just feel like it's a coach just staying on us,

878
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,039
just a next man up.

879
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 6: That was the motto. So we just had to step

880
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,199
up and make it.

881
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 4: The plays close Scout on the black cords, you guys

882
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:52,920
can come.

883
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 12: To h He does a good job of scaring I

884
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,599
think he averaging like twenty a game coming in, so

885
00:38:56,639 --> 00:38:58,320
we just knew to keep him out to paint and

886
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,920
just don't let him get no easy.

887
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 6: Three off because you could score from all three levels.

888
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,519
Speaker 10: What kind of state thing does this make to be

889
00:39:03,559 --> 00:39:06,000
in the top twenty five team by almost thirty here?

890
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 12: I think it's it's good, but on to the next

891
00:39:08,519 --> 00:39:10,280
We can't be too worried about it.

892
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 6: We just gotta move on next game.

893
00:39:11,639 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: What's you like putting in an NBA read? Is that

894
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,159
exciting for you guys?

895
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

896
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,039
Speaker 6: It feels great. I think that was our third game

897
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,079
this year, so it's fun.

898
00:39:17,679 --> 00:39:20,039
Speaker 4: Hey, Ron, you have a lovely sis.

899
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: You finished with three more.

900
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,119
Speaker 6: System response to have as a team, who was working

901
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:25,480
for you.

902
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: And just finding guys.

903
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,519
Speaker 6: To I think it's just the guy.

904
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 12: The defense was collapsing on me, so just finding open

905
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,719
man and just making it easy.

906
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 10: You feel like you're shuttling in now with the team.

907
00:39:35,079 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.

908
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 12: We built chemistry every day we had a new team,

909
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:38,440
so I think it's gonna keep you around.

910
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: Throught the season any other year.

911
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 7: Rust for the game.

912
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 6: I think in the last two minutes somebody mentioned it,

913
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,800
but it is what it is, all right, two more questions.

914
00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 10: What did you guys learn about yourself with aj on

915
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,519
the banks during that stretch?

916
00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:55,599
Speaker 2: Was it I mean defensively you were talking about, but offensively.

917
00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 6: You guys picked them in the year as well.

918
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 12: Really that we have a lot of threats on our

919
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,920
team and we can score in a variety of leaves.

920
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 10: I remember, if they have a really big team, did

921
00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:06,239
you take to take a while to adjust to their

922
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,440
size or if you guys played it up against big teams,

923
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,519
now you're you used to.

924
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 12: We came in his game trying to be the aggressor,

925
00:40:11,519 --> 00:40:13,320
so I think we kind of was just trying to

926
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,039
be more physical than them and just play harder.

927
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,599
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, thanks for there you go. That's rob right.

928
00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:21,159
Speaker 1: The third, just to kind of break down the eight

929
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:23,719
man rotation there was, you know, I mean Hilo got

930
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,239
four minutes, Stayton got two minutes. Lexikostick came off the

931
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,159
bench at two threes.

932
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 2: That was nice.

933
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: Uh, he had three minutes to play, so he came

934
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,840
run off the bench and was a bucket getter from

935
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,440
the perimeter immediately. But uh, your your rotational guys right now,

936
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,800
you got to give a big coogar role to Dawson

937
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,079
Baker twenty two minutes of play, eleven points, four to

938
00:40:41,079 --> 00:40:42,639
six from the field, two to four from the three

939
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:44,840
point line, and then one for two from the Churney strive.

940
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,719
He also had three rebounds, So nice work by Dawson.

941
00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:51,920
Loved what I saw from him. Shout out to Dominique Diamonte.

942
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,679
And then we need had to even move to continue

943
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,760
to progress well. Nineteen minutes six points. He was three

944
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,880
or four from the field, five rebounds, one is his.

945
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,880
He had one turnover but one steal, So shout out

946
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,079
to those guys. Any thoughts, any final thoughts on this win,

947
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:08,480
Ronald the three man weaver.

948
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,599
Speaker 11: Like you said, when they play good perimeter defense, when

949
00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:12,119
you're playing like that, being and out at your best

950
00:41:12,159 --> 00:41:14,079
and your best players in foul trouble, you got a

951
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:15,119
good chance to beat anybody.

952
00:41:15,159 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 4: You're winning by that margin.

953
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,079
Speaker 11: Like Kevin Young you mentioned earlier if you missed an

954
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:20,719
EVA download on the podcast, But yeah, that's the type

955
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,199
of version of b AU basketball you expect, and I

956
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,599
expect the same thing going forward. And look, rob right,

957
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,639
when you have more assistant out of the team, that

958
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,360
means that your gardener and you're passing the ball and

959
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,480
not being selfish, still want them. Then I got to

960
00:41:31,559 --> 00:41:33,400
get too fancy. No, he can sasce a lot of

961
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,679
people up. Don't turn the ball over, Rob. But overall,

962
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,039
great win against Wisconsin. Good bounce back performance, especially as

963
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:40,519
they go to the Terry's Chocolate invitation.
