Speaker 1: And what's your excuse? That's not green? Brother?
Speaker 3: I know it's not.
Speaker 1: That's tan. The shoes are tanned.
Speaker 4: It looks so much shit because I look, I'm not
wearing a green T shirt, but you know my shoes
are green. I got the dream, the shout out to
Travis Scott keeping me green today on.
Speaker 1: A Saint Patrick's date.
Speaker 3: I don't really celebrate.
Speaker 1: I don't either, but you know what I am.
Speaker 4: I'm married to a teacher, which means every single one
of these holidays. She's like she this morning, She's like,
so you're gonna turn my eggs green this morning. I
was like, girl, I was like, I'm making you eggs
for breakfast. I feel like that's enough. But it was
enough because I didn't turn them green. And they're making
Leprechaun traps in school today. So I got pinched because
so I had to put my green on and I
have green on and Happy Saint Patrick's Day. You're from Chicago, dude, Well,
Chicago's the land where they died.
Speaker 3: They died the river green. Look, I saw it. My
friends were there, they watched it. They send me videos.
I'm going back on Thursday, and I only didn't mean
enough to you. Well, I'm celebrating this weekend. That's why
I'm going back for a family's bachelor party. Family you know,
getting married, wedding rehearsal of those things. So that's why
I was waiting to celebrate. You know, I normally celebrate
on the weekend. It's tough for me to celebrate. It's
tough for me to celebrate holidays in general. I normally
just sleep because I work so much. My wife does
not like that at all, especially with the little one
running around. Sure, you know she dressed up in green.
I got sent a picture, so my wife is about
the spirits. I am not. I am very boring. I
hate to tell people that. But I will be watching
in the celebration of Saint Patrick's. I will be watching
some march manuscame tonight because by you will find out
who they will play tonight.
Speaker 4: It's not satisfying. That's not doing it, okay. And that
was all a lot of coach talk right there. All
that was that you're not wearing green. Your family's wearing green.
They are, and you're saying you're gonna celebrate it this weekend, bro,
And nobody's celebrating the freaking Saint Patrick's.
Speaker 3: So what can I do for you? What can I do? Wow?
I can't even make it up, you.
Speaker 1: Know, because guess what. You know what happens if you
don't wear green.
Speaker 4: They don't what you say, Oh you go put this
green shirt on, you get the pinch. That's how it works.
Speaker 3: Look, I mean, can I be honest with you. I'm
going deep in the trenches here in the mission. I
was paired up with the tallest elder because I was
the shortest elder. Where is this, Yeah, you're gonna see
And they called him Jolly to Green John and they
called me the black Leprechaun. Now hopefully that makes people laugh.

Call eight zer one four hundred zero eighty. Five that's
eight zer one four hundred zero eighty five complete circuit
electric cutah dot. Com, okay we're gonna get ready to
it Because brett AND i are gonna spend some time.
Here Aj debonsa was named to THE ap First All.
American no doubt we all saw this. Coming no one's. Shocked,
brett you're not. Shocked i'm not. SHOCKED i don't Think
bryce is. Shocked ben wouldn't be. Shocked but what we're
shocked about is he wasn't a unanimous first. Team how
in the world is the nation's leading scorer not a
first Team All. American i'm gonna need to explain that to. Me,
Yeah bryce wants a chime and he, camp but he
doesn't have.
Speaker 6: To he.
Speaker 3: Doesn't i'm not gonna make him if he. Doesn't But
i'm very confused to say that B yu doesn't have the.
Wins it's not about, That it's about the player on
the court and everything THAT i saw from points. REBOUNDS
i know people are gonna get on the, defense maybe
all ball a little, Bit but, like how does the
six foot nine to four and not get a unanimous
is my.
Speaker 1: Question you know what else is?
Speaker 4: Weird there's Five big twelve players, first, second and, third
none of whom went To, arizona.
Speaker 1: And none of That Big twelve player of the. Year
that's that's that's weird to.
Speaker 4: Me but to your, point hold on, age there was
so for, context there was one player who was unanimous
first team, yep and it Was Cam boser. Yep, now
the other fun thing about this list is That Darren,
peterson the oh great and Mighty Darren, peterson and was
not first.
Speaker 1: Team he was a second. Team he wasn't.
Speaker 4: Thirteen he Wasn't All American Honorable mention. Though so shout
out To Darren pearson for almost making the. List to
me almost to, me the, LIST i get, it and
the words Statement STEPHEN.
Speaker 1: A smith is. Fluid it's.
Speaker 3: Fluid this is.
Speaker 1: Fluid it's. Fluid it's.
Speaker 3: FLUID i get.
Speaker 4: It. Uh shout out TO. J. T toppin for making
first team even though he was in.
Speaker 3: If he got.
Speaker 4: HURT i, agree but then it makes me kind of
question some of the other methodology that went into voting for,
this Because richie's not for a second or third, team
even though we believe that he had maybe a third,
team but injuries what held him, out he was a
preseason all those.
Speaker 1: Things that is what it. IS a j de bontst
is gonna. BE i, Mean i'm telling, you this is
gonna be a trivia. Question.
Speaker 4: Someday they're gonna be, like who was the number one
overall pick and nation's leading scorer in college? Basketball he
wasn't A uni nanimous first Team All american and he
didn't Win player of The year in his. Conference they're
gonna be, like hold, On LIKE i led the country
in scoring and he was the number one overall pick
and he wasn't even a UNANIMOUS Ap All american First.
Speaker 1: Team.
Speaker 4: YEAH i don't know the reason for, this AND i
really hate it WHEN byu fans cry woe is? Me
nobody cares ABOUT. Byu they hate us just because we're
the church. School, YadA, YadA, YadA YadA. YadA i don't
think it's necessarily, that BUT i do think in some
ways SOMETIMES byu kind of feels like like AN a
twenty four, movie if you know What i'm talking, about
maybe like an indie. Movie it's, like they make very
high quality OF a twenty four makes very good. Movies
But i'd be willing to bet that a lot of
our listeners have not watched a lot OF a twenty
four films because they're independently.
Speaker 1: Produced it's kind of an offshoot.
Speaker 4: STUDIO i kind of wonder if that's what it is WITH,
byu where LIKE byu can make a film that grosses
one hundred million dollars, easy but.
Speaker 1: Not everybody goes to see it because they're, like, oh
IT'S a twenty. FOUR i don't know about.
Speaker 4: That AND i wonder if maybe that's the case WITH,
byu where they're, like, LOOK i Get.
Speaker 1: AJAMONSA i don't know anything else about this.
Speaker 4: TEAM i know that they're a church, SCHOOL i know
they're LIKE i know all that, stuff BUT i Don't
i'm not. Right i'm familiar enough WITH byu to know
That Ajeda bonsa goes, there but, LIKE i don't really
know them that much outside of WHEN i turn on
The arizona game they're, playing OR i turn on The
houston game and they're PLAYING. BYU i wonder if that's
part of, it BECAUSE i get it that the list was,
fluid AND i get some guys got, injured some guys
had better years than we thought they, would some guys
had worse years than we thought they. Would there were
only two people on this list to me that were
guaranteed Unanimous First Team All. Americans kambooser was, one Ye
Ajeda bonsa was the other. One because, like here's the, deal.
Run it's if we're sitting here On tuesday and by
you missed the tournament and they Lost round one of
The Big, twelve and then you want to, say Man
Ajda bonce's first, team but he's not. UNANIMOUS i can hear.
That if you even wanted to say he's second. TEAM
i don't love it because he's still gonna be the
number one overall, pick BUT i could hear. IT i
get that B yu didn't win The Big twelve, conference
but anyone who knows ball and who knows the larger
landscape of power for conference college, basketball you UNDERSTAND byu
had some things not go their way this season in
terms of how many players got, injured which is why
they were not competing to win The Big twelfth.
Speaker 1: Championship and if you're gonna GIVE Jt.
Speaker 4: Topp and the benefit of the doubt and, say you know,
what he was, injured but he had an incredible, season
so we're gonna put him on the first. Team but
you're not going to Give Aja bonsa a benefit of
the doubt and, Say, okay they still made the.
Speaker 1: Tournament they're still a sixth.
Speaker 4: Seed they still won two games in The big twelve,
tournament and they're playing good. Basketball and Aj To, bonsa
to my, knowledge is still gonna be a top three,
pick if not number. ONE i don't understand what else
you were voting for that you saw Aj De bondson, said,
ah second.
Speaker 3: Team, YEAH i can't believe. That That's it's still crazy
to me that we're living in that era of where and,
LOOK i know what it is, people it's LIKE boi
football Right East. Coast people aren't watching.
Speaker 1: That d da da.
Speaker 3: Da it's you know THAT boi doesn't have the. Report
it hasn't done What utah has done with, winning you,
know a conference championship. Twice so you're not gonna get
the benefit of. That with, that you are that's just
how it. GOES i understand why doesn't necessarily MEAN i
agree with, it BUT aj should have been. Unanimous it's
not even. Close like and this is WHERE i fought
bray Yor Mark now AND i fought the conference and the.
Coaches if you want AN aj to be a Unanimous All,
american maybe you should have voted him The Big Twelve
player of The year, Then and that falls more on the,
coaches right because they're the ones that. Vote or maybe
you should do WHAT i, think AND i think this
is a good. Idea you should stop letting just the
coaches do it by themselves because coaches don't know everything
because they're. Human maybe you should let another fifty percent
of the votes be, fans and then you should let
the other twenty five be media. Members and if you
don't want to go that, FAR i feel us as
media members should have a. VOTE i was allowed IF
i were to attend the tournament for The Big twelve
to vote All Big Twelve Tournament team most Most Outstanding.
Player so why CAN'T i vote on the end of
the year. Awards why don't you allow us to do?
That you ALLOW ap voters to vote the top twenty
five they were able to vote these All americans all
of a, Sudden can they not vote conference? Championships that
comes from the.
Speaker 4: Coaches that's what throws me, off is like this makes,
Sense like nu'mb nuts, fans.
Speaker 1: Exact bloggers voting on.
Speaker 4: This people who have AN ap vote WHO I and
Maybe i'm wrong in thinking that that means and this
is a national this is not just local, guys. RIGHT
i THOUGHT ap voters like at least had some baseline
level of. Adibility but if you were AN ap voter
and you didn't put Aj debonsa in your first, TEAM
i don't know what version of college basketball you're. Watching
AND i realized where THE byu Show and that makes
it sound Like HOMER'S i get. It BUT i feel as,
though even IF i wasn't A byu, guy the nation's leading,
SCORER i don't care.
Speaker 1: If he went To dartmouth Or cornell Or.
Speaker 4: Harvard if he's the nation's leading, scorer if he's a
runner FOR Ap player of The year and he's gonna
be a top three pick in THE nba draft and
he had a great, season that tells me he should
be on the first, team especially when a guy Like
Darren peterson fell out of.
Speaker 1: That so, Again liz was, fluid but this is fluid.
FLUID i just.
Speaker 4: Can't respect frankly whoever didn't put Aj debonsa on their
first team, run because that's what we're talking, about. Right
if he wasn't unanimous first, team that's because, somebody whether
it was one, person AND i don't know how MANY
ap votes there.
Speaker 1: ARE i think there's only a couple per.
Speaker 4: State but if you didn't Put Ajda bonsa on your first,
team what version.
Speaker 1: Of college basketball did you? Watch unless here's what it.
Speaker 4: Was. Ron maybe it was some big ten homer who,
said you, Know Jeremiah fears and all his Cheating Braden
smith and kicking. People you, know maybe maybe Or, Illinois
LIKE i don't know what it, was but maybe you
were so much of a homer that you took someone
who you knew was not a first, teamer but you
wanted to sway things a little bit more sway the,
average and so you propped them. UP i don't know
how it worked, out but it's pretty ridiculous That Ajda
bonsa was not.
Speaker 1: Unanimous, again it doesn't.
Speaker 4: Matter i'm Sure Aja bonce is gonna get asked about,
it and he's gonna give the ten out of ten
answer that he always gives and be, LIKE i don't.
Speaker 1: Either he's gonna SAY i don't.
Speaker 4: Care he's gonna SAY i should have won more, games
because that's that's the, intelligent hard, working great young man
That ajdamnsa. Is but to, me this is less of
a shot At Ajeda monta and more of, like who
are these people voting on?
Speaker 1: This if you didn't Think Ajeda monsa was a unanimous Ap.
Speaker 3: And this is WHY i said we should, reveal you,
know like THE nba, finals who votes for an? Award,
well this is WHY i Like Vic grammar Data agger
get a. Guy vic just texted me. This there were
sixty one total, votes ah got all but four four
people vote For.
Speaker 4: Okay so you, look if it was one person like,
okay you know what that. Happens there were some line
of logic among four people when you.
Speaker 1: And Honestly, ron what would make more sense to? Me
who were the?
Speaker 4: Four If, CAMBUSER i want to know if Cam boozer
wasn't unanimous because you had four just morons who SAID
i Hate duke Because i've always Hated. Duke i'm, like,
LOOK i get it FOR i do what what is
the line of logic that makes you, say as AN ap, voter,
YEAH A jada bons is not?
Speaker 3: Unanimous What so obviously we look at the first, team
Do Cameron, Boozer, Arkansas DARRIS A Cuff, junior which no
one is. ALL i, mean it's tough to our get,
on but, yeah he's he's also, There michigan's Uh Yaxxell.
Lindenborg and Then texas TECH. J. T toppin who did
vote as one of these, Right Jackson, payne WHO i do,
respect WHO i also will HONOR jp did, this he
voted the right. WAY A. J. D. Bonza we know
he he was one of the sixty one first. Team Cameron,
Boozer DARIUS. A Cuff, junior he Voted Keaton wagler on
that list From illinois And i'm good with that And i'm,
yeah and Then Yakstell. Lindenborg so there you.
Speaker 1: Go there's only two people.
Speaker 4: To me that should have been and IT'S A Janis Cam,
yes not even doubt so looking at this, list and
now if we look at his look at his second,
Team Braden smith From purdue he's on the second he's
on the second, Team Jeremiah Fears junior second, Team Christian
anderson From Texas. Tech he was the third, team, Right
Joshua jefferson From iowa second, team second, TEAM Jt top
And Texas.
Speaker 3: Tech who's on the first. Team so you're looking at
that second team, Like, okay somewhere in there they're, thinking,
Okay Joshua jefferson and you deserve to be on that, list,
Right and you, know mi laiman child like people looking
at all of these guys right of what do they? Fall?
Speaker 1: Like this is the QUESTION i want to answered from.
Speaker 4: You, okay who is on this second and third team
that legitimately? Someone because here's the, deal it's not JUST
aj got left out of.
Speaker 1: It somebody got put In AJ's. SPOT i.
Speaker 4: Agree so if we're looking at, this who do we
look at on the second and third team and we
say some voter put that guy OVER? Aj and whoever
it is is going to be a stretch to make the,
argument but, like who is it.
Speaker 3: The only possible names THAT i could look at Where
i'm looking at, like, okay big, men because you're looking
at Like ford's, right because you're looking At, okay depending
on how they want to, go they could be AND
j are basically all all through all three through, five,
right you could look at it that, way right because
you Got darius a, cuff you, know so you're looking
AT aj of like. Guard so this is my honest
o pain OF aj being a point for. It these
are the three Names i'm looking at of who you
thought could be a first Team Keen wagler is, one
right Because Jackson payne voted, that so that could That
i'm thinking of other people had that. One Caleb wilson
From North, carolina WHICH i, like like, forward, RIGHT i
really like.
Speaker 1: It he was, injured he was.
Speaker 3: INJURED i don't think. THAT i think that was. One
and then IF i had to go third, team AND
i know this is, crazy people gonna be Like, ron,
yeah but this is third. Team there are people that
thought because this guy is in the finalist for the
forwards WITH aj with that, word IF i got the
name of, It Thomas hall From. Florida those are the
only possible NAMES i could see of you trying to move.
Up and if you want to throw another guard in,
there then the only other guard is Maybe Braiden smith
with what he's been.
Speaker 1: Doing Brayden smith is the one THAT i.
Speaker 3: Think those are the four names THAT i think that kept.
Speaker 4: J AND i, WONDER I i hate to do the like,
dividing BUT i wonder if it Was big.
Speaker 3: Ten absolutely, well and that's what is Brain Braiden smith
And Keen wagler kept him, out AND i just. DISAGREE
i think that that's just not it because because and
this is what will be, validated right the only way
to validated is this if it For Braden. Smith of your,
point WHICH i do agree, with by you has to
get to the sweet sixteen and play per doing beat.
Him that's the only validation you could possibly. Get illinois
on the other side of the. Bracket not gonna happen
in The. East but it's just that's the only possible
way BECAUSE i believe it from A ford's, Perspective i'm jumping,
there But i'll Throw haul out actually because he's a third.
Team Caleb, Wilson wagler And Braiden smith as what kept him.
Speaker 1: Out that's WHAT I because.
Speaker 3: No one's Picking joshua With jefferson over AND.
Speaker 4: I don't think you're PICKING i don't think you're Picking
jeremi fears Either, nope, NOPE i AND I i.
Speaker 3: DO i don't dare.
Speaker 4: Say there's a lot of great things About Braiden, SMITH
a lot of great, things especially.
Speaker 3: Unassisted away from Breaking Bob hurley's, Record i'm not saying
he's about.
Speaker 1: Play this is a guy.
Speaker 4: Who embodies the spirit of college basketball and staying at
a school for more than one, year being The purdue.
GUY i love, that and we're putting this on. Him
we don't know you're, retired BUT.
Speaker 1: I. Don't i'm with.
Speaker 4: You we gotta know if you're gonna vote, it then
put your name on.
Speaker 1: It you may not like.
Speaker 3: Everything that.
Speaker 4: You may not like EVERYTHING i have to, say But
i'm gonna put my pen to paper and put my
name on everything THAT i. Say i'm not gonna be
an honest with. It IF i don't like, You i'm
gonna tell. You i'm not sending it from you a burner.
Speaker 1: Account if you didn't THINK A. J De bond's like
you should really need to defend.
Speaker 4: That, HONESTLY i know we're getting fired up about this
something it doesn't really, matter but like that to me
tells that tells me that AN.
Speaker 1: Ap voter doesn't know. Ball can we Get bryson?
Speaker 4: Here BECAUSE i would love to, know because we're the
B yu guys and maybe we need Some maybe we
are just sucking down the kool aid. Man BUT i
look at this from a FROM i feel Like i'm
looking at this from a college basketball perspective and not
a B yu. Perspective to, me there should have been
two unanimous. Guys it should have Been boozer And. Debonsa
AND i think if you didn't Put debonsa on your first,
TEAM i don't think.
Speaker 3: You know, Ball, Brice we're gonna have to bring you, in, Brother,
uh give us some balance in.
Speaker 1: This, sorry working on some other.
Speaker 3: Things oh you're.
Speaker 5: Good so you guys are talking ABOUT Aj debonsa not
being NAMED Uh.
Speaker 1: Player of The Year.
Speaker 3: All american Only Cam boozer was, right and we're thinking
aj ag got fifty seven out of the sixty one.
Votes we're thinking That Braden, smith somewhere Between Graydon, Smith
Keaton waglan And Kleb wilson took took took four of those.
Speaker 1: Votes, YEAH i.
Speaker 5: Look, uh when comes down to, it is this the
biggest still?
Speaker 3: Ever?
Speaker 1: Not maybe not.
Speaker 5: NECESSARILY i will say we did Have Ken palm on
our show this last, week and we talked to him
a little bit about who he thought the best player
was in college, basketball BECAUSE i brought up That AJ
i mentioned it in. PASSING i, said the best college
basketball player in the COUNTRY A. J, debonsa and he
goes and he stopped me in the middle of my, sentence.
Speaker 1: Goes is he.
Speaker 5: THOUGH i was, Like, oh, Okay Ken, palm, oh, explain
explain who you think it. Is and he said It's
Cam boozer and then kind of explained a little. Bit
BUT i didn't think the explanation was good enough because
if you look at the, NUMBERS i don't know if
the numbers are necessarily. Better and then if you just
look at what these two teams or what these two
guys do on the, Floor, uh it seems LIKE Aj
dubonca takes over a little bit more. Now admittedly SO
i haven't watched a ton Of Cam boozer in my
college basketball watching this, year BUT i don't. KNOW i
lean more towards a J Ed montsa and what he's
been able to do this, year especially with a Lesser,
look this is not meant to be a jab or
anything AT byu but just because of injuries and, whatnot
a lesser cast and crew around. Him, yeah like the
rest of them's on THIS byu roster have not stepped,
up unlike obviously What duke has pulled in and what
the supporting.
Speaker 1: Cast that he has around.
Speaker 5: Him, specifically A duke seems to be a little bit
more favorable in a better.
Speaker 1: Situation SO i think that's.
Speaker 3: More of the.
Speaker 1: Reason and you, know you're supposed to look at the
player on your.
Speaker 5: Own it's a good, point BUT i do think that
it does have an effect on it that the rest
of them with THIS byu squad didn't step up the
way that That duke squad is stepping up For camboozer right.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah it's a it's a good. Point brus brings
about to think about that the supporting, cast you, know
because If kim palms Stopping bryce, saying is he though
like people are looking at oh because in this WHY i?
Speaker 1: Disagree but doesn't that make the argument FOR aj even.
Speaker 4: More THAT'S i think that's what poke the tire Or
pope pop the balloon and, say, yeah but Cam boozer
has way more help At duke THEN aj has IT
byu so wouldn't that Support and, LOOK i don't fault
anyone who thinks That Cam boozer is the best player
in college basketball because to me it's it's ONE a
and ONE b BETWEEN aj And.
Speaker 1: Cam BUT i do believe that both of them are
viable for that one.
Speaker 3: Spot, yeah and look right, right you're trying to figure it.
Out so the only way to figure it out BECAUSE
i can't go do the. MATH i asked CHAT. Gvt
MAYBE i shouldn't asked. That and to your, Point i'm
gonna dab you up right. Now this is what it.
Says so what did those four votes? Go there weren't
split among a bunch of random. Players they weren't split
Among they essentially went to other league candidates who still
got first team. Consideration most. Notable who's the first one
on the, List Brade. Smith so there you, go.
Speaker 1: So we can we find these?
Speaker 3: Votes THEN i wish you know WHEN i just put it,
in say, hey break down HOW aj didn't get the
other four. Votes they didn't make him in unanisal selection
between these. Candidate it's in the link to the, article
and it broke it. DOWN i could be, wrong but
he got first. Team other first team level candidates in
the voting, Pool Joshua, Jefferson Caleb, Wilson Keaton, waggler what is,
It Jeremy FIERCE juni which we're, Thinking Caleb wilson And
Keaton waggler were the other ones that could have taken.
Speaker 1: It that's my pool of.
Speaker 3: Three but, nonetheless Like bryce, said not a big deal
or even about, it because it's THE Byu. Show because of,
THAT aj is still the first Team all A p
is Still all First TEAM, ap which we thought he would,
be and there's no bigger accomplishment than. That so we're
gonna stay highlight into. Good but we're just chastising those four.
Voters that's What i'm going to, Do gonna chant on my,
integrator how dare? You how dare you? Jo for all of?
Them don't ever let me find? You AND i bet
that you probably get paid more than. Me you're probably way,
better bigger than, me and no. More BUT i promise
you you won't put you four that didn't PICK. Aj
you won't post it to your, page and you won't
tag me At ron the three man. Weave you won't do.
IT i don't know who they, are but, anyway congrats
TO aj to be SELECTED Ap First Team All america
is an, accomplishment, right he was The freshman of The
year and he's got a chance to be you, know, well,
look uh make a make a big time running THE NCAA.

don't you guys, Know i'm a big little WOOZY vertus
fan song Is shooter as A Band, today brought to
you By. Roland me brand Dot com is the B
yu swag created by the fans for the, fans always
repped the why the right Way get your official B
yu license apparel today or roll on me brand dot
com by you trying to crush the basketball and put
it in the hoop and win On. Thursday, uh but
tonight they will find out who their opponent Is texas
taking On. Texas excuse, me N c state almost A texas?
State who will b why you face you probably want
to Face. TEXAS i know they got a seven for their.
Win Ask Steve, Cleveland he's got The Scott report for.
US a little bit later on the, show on the last,
hour our interview. Portion but, look if you FACE Nc,
state they got a bunch of seniors and, juniors guys
that are, experienced that have been to this.
Speaker 1: Tournament.
Speaker 3: Brett the reason Why i'm saying to avoid. Them they're
top ten and shooting the three in the, nation top
five to be. Specific they can rein it. Down and
you know who they have on their. Roster who would
love to see? You who's who's chomping at the, bit
licking his. Chops he loved to see you because guess.
What remember WHEN i posted a video to My twitter
he took the shirt from the rock section said, yeah
y'all talking all? Day is didn't THINK i didn't, Forgot,
yeah that won't blow up on My. TWITTER i didn't
think it. Would is a certain man by the name
And Darian, williams who's over there all almost came TO
byu apparently didn't think it was gonna fit. Though, uh,
anyway he's over, there AND i know people gonna, say
well he's played like, this what is he played against
The byu'd remember when he, said, hey what Mag i'm
gonna put you in the basket. CONVINCINGLY i laughed because
he was Bro he put him in the. Basket, oh
he's a good basketball. Player it's a good basketball player
starting to shoot the. THREE i don't want to see
by you face a team that shoots thirty nine percent from, Three,
brett and Where bau struggled to guard the three all,
year it can get away from you ugly in a.
Hurry March mandis is the shooter's. Jim you don't want
people to give, confidence don't have a game under their.
Belt you want to play another team that foils a
lot In. TEXAS i just think with the way it's
matchup WITH, aj with WHAT aj wants to do and
get into the free throw line, early he's gonna get
all these calls that he can get in The Big twelve, Tournament.
Brett for, me the matchup Is. Texas so my question
of the day is who Will BYU's opponent be On,
Thursday texas OR Nc?
Speaker 1: STATE i don't even, know, Man can it be neither
one of?
Speaker 3: Them that's not how it, Works, UNFORTUNATELY i wish.
Speaker 4: Because and the REASON i say, that it feels like
all the national guys are PICKING byu to get up,
SAID i.
Speaker 1: Agree Keith lipscomb OF.
Speaker 4: Espn he put out like biggest upsets in round one
of the tournament and he has to be all you
on there. Twice he lists why they would lose THE
Nc state and then he lists why they would lose To.
Speaker 1: Texas i'm, like, dang so you're, saying BASICALLY byu is
the problem because they're the common denominator on that.
Speaker 3: One, yep that's what he's.
Speaker 4: Saying so, Honestly i'm good with Seeing texas Because texas
has really taken some shots down the stretch IN sec.
Speaker 1: PLAY i think they're more beat up THAN Nc state
IS Nc. STATE i know.
Speaker 4: They won a game their first round of THE acc.
Tournament you mentioned how, good how how experienced THIS Nc
state team. IS i feel Like texas still has their
feet to underneath of, them so to. Speak they're not
dominating THE.
Speaker 1: SEC i think if you could find a way to
really upset This texas.
Speaker 4: Team now we know they have a little bit of
length and one of the things That byus found success
in over the last couple of, weeks maybe the last,
week but when they, win they win when they're able
to play, small and if you force them to play,
big then you force guys Like abdullahmed to come into the.
Game who hasn't been great throughout the, season even THOUGH
i will say there were moments in That houston game
when he played better THAN i would have expected him.
Speaker 1: To, YEAH i think you want to See. Texas but,
frankly RON.
Speaker 4: I will default to the answer that is not the sexiest,
answer but it's the right.
Speaker 1: Answer it's the madness Of. March.
Speaker 4: Man you can give all the numbers you, want but
as as soon as that music comes, in no, no, no,
No like as soon as you turn ON, Cbs TRUE,
tv whatever it, is it Is. March the madness has
begun and it doesn't matter who the team. Is anybody
can win in the madness Of. March it doesn't matter
who you, Play it matters who you, are and, that
to me is the more important part. Here Kevin young
talked about that On. Sunday they asked him who do
you want to play in this? Matchup is it hard
scouting for two teams and Hin his answer was, like
would we like to know who we're? Playing, yeah but
he SAID i almost wonder if it's kind of a
silver lining to know that you can keep it, simple
you can focus on, you and you don't have to
overthink spending six days on a game. PLAN i think
that will play a factor BECAUSE i THINK byu has
played their best basketball over the last couple of days
last week or, so when they're focused on them and
doing what they need to do and not overdoing it
thinking about this part of the game. Plan when they do,
this we go here just like seaball play basketball ball
out in the madness Of. MARCH i wonder if this
will actually be a blessing in disguise that they just
get to worry about, them focus on, them and when
they get to the, tournament they'll let they'll Let march
do its.
Speaker 3: Things yeah you have to, Wonder, well, well excuse, me
it doesn't really matter at the end of the. DAY
i mean it does because of. Matchups you. Know do
you want to SEE aj go for? FORTY i think everybody,
Does but it LOOK i think they don't. Care like you,
SAID i really don't think they're looking at, like, yeah
we want to finish this. Team it's like whoever's on the.
Speaker 4: Schedule, also as soon as you SAY i want to
see this, team that's when that team wins and that
team beats.
Speaker 3: You so you don't ever SAY i want to see these. Guys,
yeah you leave that form behind closed. Doors you never
give that to The you never ever give that to
the to the. Public but you have to, wonder you,
know you have to wonder do they want to face
text or are They Kevin? Young you, know you know petty?
Competitive okay IN C? State? Okay Uh Darian, williams we remember,
You we remember what. Happened but no. SERIOUS i just
put it out On. Twitter it's On Ben's twitter at Crital.
Benjamin you can follow them. There you can follow me
On twitter At ron of Three. Men we've attagged myself
BECAUSE i don't Want ben getting in. Trouble if there's
a crazy commenter, QUESTION i brought. It who will be
a you basketball faced On? Thursday Texas long courts are
IN C? State Will pack why or why? NOT i
don't want to put words in his mouth album correct.
ME i know he's working on some stuff behind the.
Scenes BUT i Think bryce Said. TEXAS i think we're
going With. TEXAS i think that's the, consensus but we
could very well be. Wrong it could be IN C
state they are more just as battle, tested if, not
but both of these. TEAMS i mentioned it On monday
lost five of their last Six nonither of these teams
are trending. Upward nonetheless by defense is you hope it
stays the, Same but we're gonna find. Out we're gonna
find out sooner rather than. Later. BRET i don't Think
i've asked you, this, Right i've asked other people who's
the guy that makes the name for? Him So i'm
gonna ask this all of our.
Speaker 1: Guests you know what my answer is before you even
ask the. QUESTION i, know BUT i let you get.
Speaker 3: Out but you. LOOKED i know we, prepare but the
fans don't. Know BUT i guess we need to put
that out too as a. Poll, right who's gonna have
their big? Moment we know ag is gonna have a,
Moment we Know rob's gonna have his. Moment but we're
talking about guys that people might not talk about enough. Storylines,
Right he's got a wonderful deep blue. Video Maybe i'm
antonet of you guys know Where i'm going With bred
and witt it, Uh but, LOOK i love this guy a.
Lot he's never given. Up he fights to the. End
he Told Kevin, Young, hey when when you call my,
Number i'll be. Ready wasn't complain about. Anything he, Says, hey,
Coach i'm locked. In you love players like. That is
it the guy that clapped In Christian anderson's face that
Clap Breton it's. Smile it, Says i'm gonna lock you
out and pack him up and send him back To. Lubbock,
yeah Like Jacob roriguez packed bear, back myyerup and send
him back. ANYWAY i know people catch, straight but that's
just WHAT i. Do, anyway packed him, up send him
back To. Lubbock Christian, anderson by the, way he's. Okay
if he didn't know he's gonna play in the, tournament
love to see. That didn't want to see him get
hurt because of that glass. FLOOR i know you're shaking your.
Head or is he just saying that and it's behind the.
Scenes we don't. Know, Anyway Christian, anderson this certain player
packed him, up sent him. Home there's another player that
drilled two three's back to back Against houston and they
were contested. Too didn't care shoot it well on that
road trip even though by you. Lost is it him
or is it the guy that people know about that has,
it that's been up and down with his. Injuries is It.
Kaba who do you? Have or actually we're gonna take
cabout people know About? Kaba is it the guy that
finally smiled in The big twelve? Tournament was cheezing left and,
right always locked. IN i didn't know injury was. THERE
i was so locked, in always me. Mugging you want
to lock you? Up fierce? Tough who you Got? Brett
is It Kenard Davis? Jr WHO i just Mentioned alexi coaches?
Before is it hadem? Boop or is it the first
guy In Dominique? Diamonde who does who has their? Moment
who do people learn about this march madness? From?
Speaker 1: Byu it could Be Canard, davis could Be it could Be.
Alexicostitch it could be but you know WHO i know
it's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be who is? It Tel?
Speaker 1: Fans the windmill man himself One Dominique.
Speaker 3: Diomande he was nice in the air with.
Speaker 1: It he was nice in the air with.
Speaker 4: IT i, mean that's really, risky especially for a guy
who doesn't play a lot of, minutes who doesn't have
a whole lot of coaching clout build up built up
for you to go out and do a. Windmill if
you're gonna do it and if it does anything other
than go through the, basket you're on the bench for
the rest of the. Season So i'm glad it worked
out for, Him BUT i think that's part of who he, is,
right it Is Dominique diomandi doesn't need shots to fall.
Speaker 1: For him to be. Successful here's WHAT i mean by.
Speaker 4: That the guy has a, motor the guy has a strong.
Will he just wants to play. Basketball AND i think
you see something With dominique that you see With, hadeem and,
frankly every single human being on the planet can relate to.
This we all see success, differently we all value success.
Differently so something that shows me That i'm being successful
that same trait may not work for.
Speaker 1: You you need to see other things for you to
feel successful some. People some people need to see the
bank account for them to feel.
Speaker 4: Successful some people need to see their numbers on their
social media count for them to be. Successful some people
just need to know THAT i got out of bed
in the morning AND i went to. Work that's success to,
them and for different people it means different. THINGS i
think different folks is my.
Speaker 3: Mama.
Speaker 4: Yes one of the things THAT i love About hadeem
and Then i'm starting to love About Dominique. Hadeem does
it need the ball to go through the basket for
him to feel like he's being successful or? Validated, right
he gets his energy based off OF i played. Defense
that possession was success to. ME i didn't touch the.
BASKETBALL i may not even have blocked the shot or
stolen the. BALL i forced the ball out of your.
Hands you passing somebody else that they. Missed that's success to.
Me And hadem feeds off. That he's the energizer bunny,
man AND i Think dominique is being infected with that
a little.
Speaker 1: Bit now they have the pleasure of not having to
see the ball looking the basket because so somebody. Does.
Speaker 4: Right canard can't live like that because the reliance is
on him to make shots for this team to be.
Speaker 1: Successful dominique And hadem that's not their.
Speaker 3: Role.
Speaker 4: Now when they, score it's a big deal because it's
an added silver lining to the. Team it's icing on the,
cake but it's not the yellow cake. Itself and SO
i think it's gonna Be dominique because he's playing with
some of the lowest, expectations BUT i think he has
one of the highest motors on the. Team i'm not
saying he's popping off for fifteen or, anything BUT i
think there's.
Speaker 1: World Where dominique goes for, eight maybe ten points in
this game On, thursday eight to ten.
Speaker 3: Points we're gonna have to put that now as a.
Poll who had A Dominique dimonde? Election Coaches, Canard Davis
junior Or hoodie And boob will the nation In March,
madison those outside Of Cougar nation come to find out
and no more we will find. OUT i agree that
he's on that. List. Uh to, Me i'm gonna Pick
canard BECAUSE i feel like it's his time to lead.
People he would say he needs, it AND i think
he needs to show. People they brought me here to shoot.
Threes let me show y'all. Why we're gonna find out,

that free complimentary break you and a twenty to twenty
five minute At banderwalth bandawealth dot. Com let's get in
to this. Segment this is per Jam jordan who put
this Out. BRETT i want to make SURE i give
the credit of who put it out THERE byu is
three and three versus the eleven seed in THE ncaa
tournament historically most recently BEATING vcu last. Season The cougars
are two In orange versus the three seed in the
attorney recently Beating wisconsin last, season we remember That John
tomjay went nuts literally SCORED i Think wisconsin scored thirty
seven points and a. Half he had thirty five of
those at one point if.
Speaker 1: You were to do the.
Speaker 3: Math but, yeah that's WHAT byu has. Done so the
seeding before, THAT i believe that they. Lost it was
they lost to what is It? DUCUNE i believe that's
how you pronounced. It they lost to them when the
Mark pope Areot, no they were, Six, no they dropped was?
Seven you know they were six because they were supposed
TO i think be a five and then they dropped
because of the weekend. Play because that in lost in
twenty twenty four and then in twenty twenty one or
twenty THE covid, Year correct me If i'm. Wrong it
was they lost TO, ucla But ucla BRED i think
one on that historic magical run that no one thought
that they were going to run.
Speaker 1: On that was.
Speaker 3: Incredible that was. Incredible that was where we Met Johnny, juzan,
yes who ended UP i can't remember if he got
drafted by The, jazz but he made his way to THE.
Nba that's where magic. HAPPENS a march is where you
can book your trip to THE nba is if you
go ball out what your thoughts on THAT bau three
and three versus the eleven seed all?
Speaker 4: Time that's not, great, right because you would expect six eleven.
Speaker 1: To be a better percentage than.
Speaker 4: That, again it's a low sample size six, games But
i'll do you one, better and nationally the eleven seed
wins just over thirty three percent of the. Time so
this six eleven, seed it's not necessarily a guaranteed, loss
but it's also not a safe spot to be. In
AND i was telling the fans yesterday the first. Four
every year that the first four has, existed WHICH i
believe goes back to twenty, twelve every year except for
two one first four team has gone to the round
of thirty. Two so you're, basically if YOU'RE, byu just
looking strictly at that fact, alone there's a twenty five
percent chance that you were drawing the first four team
who is going to be advancing to the round of thirty.
Two and it's probably more likely because your other round
of thirty you have two eleven seeds that are first,
fourteen and then you have two sixteen seeds who are
first four. Teams my guess is the sixteen seeds are
not upsetting any of the monster one seeds we have
in the tournament this. Year the eleven, seeds given the
numbers that we're telling you right, now which Is Jerem jordan's,
SAYING byu is three and three against eleven. Seeds eleven
seeds beat six seeds in THE Ncaa tournament roughly thirty
eight percent of the.
Speaker 1: Time. Wow and then that first four.
Speaker 4: Team here's a twenty five percent chance that you are
drawing the first four team that will beat the sixth
seed or the one seed in the first round of
THE Ncaa. Tournament it's not exactly a beautiful spot FOR
byu to be, in especially given the fact that their
defense down the stretch wasn't. Great we saw it step
up in The big Twelve. Tournament of, course there's just
a lot of questions to be answered with This buoya
basketball team In round, one like are they just go
going to curb, soomp put boot to neck and just say,
hey we're not there's Not we're not open the door
at all for you to walk.
Speaker 1: In there's no none of.
Speaker 4: You we're not you're not getting in. Here it's a done.
Deal we're not letting you believe in the magic Of.
March we're shutting.
Speaker 3: The whole thing.
Speaker 4: Down or do we see THE byu team that we
saw the last couple of weeks of the regular, season
where everybody had a magical day even though it Wasn't march,
Yet now you get Into, march BECAUSE i know what
it looks like TO byu.
Speaker 1: Fans, dude it's an eleven.
Speaker 4: Seed It's texas OR Nc, state who have both been
playing bad basketball down the. Stretch, well, yeah first, off
some was bou into the big twell. Tournament the second of, all,
true there's one very very big point that you're. MISSING
i think y'all. Forgot it's not called More march. Normalcy
it's not Called march. Regularity it's Called march, madness the.
Madness anything goes In. March no matter how bad you
think that basketball team was In, February, march In, January, December,
november no matter how bad you, were you make it
to the. Tournament everybody has a clean. Slate nobody has
any wins in this tournament right. Now everybody is starting with.
