Hopefully you having a wonderful day celebrating finally b YU
basketball getting out of the funk and getting into the
win column, Thank goodness, hollelujah, and hopefully they continue in
there now most recent winning ways, they got to win
on the road. It was it was a quad one win. Fantastic, glorious,
thank you, thank you. I did not want them to
talk about another loss. They found a way. It was gritty,
it was tenacious, and Baylor was playing their best basketball
I think of the year, quite honestly, in the last
three games. They took Iowa State down to the wire.
That was a good win. It was a good win
versus I think a better team than the record indicates,
and hopefully that continues. Hopefully get hopefully Baylor just goes
on a tear and and and wins some ball games
at the end of the year. I know some of
the key players got in a foul trouble and that
may have inhibited their maybe scoring ability. But good win nevertheless,

you to my co host and the rest of the
stars to cash joining us for this beautiful hump day
edition of Cougar Sports. Let's welcome into the show architect
of this Cougar Sports show, the bucket getter himself, our
point guard, Ronald the three Man Weaver. What's up, Ronald Weaver?
What is up?
Speaker 2: Benjamin J. Cridle, I have seen enough. I'm ready to
go out on a limb.
Speaker 4: Ben I don't care what your reason is for not
wanting to play basketball at this point in time, but
I can tell you from what I see in what
my eyes tell me, and Brett knows is you know this.
Speaker 2: I'm a basketball junkie.
Speaker 4: But in the last six games, there's one aj D's
bonses that's averaged darn near thirty one points over fifty
five percent shooting from the fields. Not that's the entire floor.
By the way, forty eight percent from three has grabbed.
Speaker 2: About four points, six rebounds and four assist.
Speaker 4: Look, if he keeps that up, and a certain player
that I will not name anymore, I've I've declared, and
I'm not gonna name the guy down in Kansas continues
to sit out and doesn't want to play in March
Madness executives, I think of the NBA and those they're
not gonna want that kid.
Speaker 2: They're gonna want this kid that's playing.
Speaker 4: At sniffling over the post game constantly, that's showing up,
balling out.
Speaker 3: I think A J. D.
Speaker 4: Bonds is going to be the number one pick Ben
because of what he's doing in the most important moments.
Speaker 3: Look, I can tell you what's gonna happen. I'll tell
you right now. There's a lot of controversy right now
around d and p uh and and that's that's okay,
that's fine, that's dandy. I'm sure Bill self is a
little bit up in arms about his his star player,
but they gotta win versus the number one team in
the country without him, So they're like, hey, like we're
still a great team even without them, And they are.
Let's not get it twisted. Whether they're at home or
the Waite settings, they're a good basketball team. Uh And
they deserve to be ranked where they're at, and maybe
even better than whether they're where they're ranked. This was
gonna have happen, though, Like once the March Madness begins,
you're gonna see, I mean, you're gonna see something special
occur at the MP and he's most likely gonna lead
them to Glorian victory and the madness of March and uh,
it's gonna be tremendous, just like it was when he
played BYU, just like it was when he got to
win on the road versus some formidable foes this season
in the Big twelve. So he's gonna play, and then
we're gonna we're gonna be tossed to and fro once
again because AJ could be playing really well and he
is playing very well. He's trending in the right direction,
and it's gonna be a battle once again for who's
gonna be the number one overall pick. I do think
d MP will begin to DP. He's gonna actually play
in late February and uh in March and uh, and
we're gonna have to have this debate. It'll it will
continue leading up to the NBA Draft about the high
upside potential of AJ and the refined, polished scoring, elite
nature of Darren Peterson being probably the most prolific score
when given volume. He's he's definitely the best shooter, definitely
the best score. He's the most crafty out of this
out of this group. Uh, you like Carlos Booze, you
like some of these other guys, et cetera. That there's
a lot of great players in this freshman class. But uh,
I think we're gonna continue to have this discussion, even
with all the controversy with d Mpless. Welcome in hammertime
show always bring the hammer. I agree or disagree with me?
Speaker 2: There, No, I I agree.
Speaker 3: I think that I think I've said this.
Speaker 5: Darren Peterson is the best player in the class, like
he is the best, the most talented, So I agree.
I mean, he'll show up in the tournament, he'll do
something crazy, and we'll forget that.
Speaker 3: He ever set out eleven games.
Speaker 5: I will say, though, there's something in the Big twelve
that frustrates me just as much as Darren Peterson's that
here we go.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm upset. I'm upset, folks, And I told Ron
about this.
Speaker 5: Ben and I had a long conversation about it before
I walked in here to the studio, and I've become
accustomed to this because Marvel does to this to me
every year, where they over promise and then they under deliver.
If you're gonna make an announcement and you're gonna have
Brett your Mark show his face at a game and
do a halftime conversation and say, look, I can't say
what it is, but it's gonna be a pretty big deal.
And then I listened to Ari Tempkin and James Westling
on Big twelve today say look, we know what the
announcement is. We can't say what it is, but it's
gonna be a really big deal. And then I'm sitting
here on Tuesday and I go, oh, Big twelve too.
Now it's not coming till Wednesday. All right, Well it
must be pretty big if they weren't writing to announce
this until the next day. And then Wednesday we get here. Hey, guys,
we're changing the court. It's gonna be glass now.
Speaker 3: Really, there's gonna be flashing lights and insignias and advertisements.
Speaker 5: That's your big announcement. That did not need a week
of build up. It didn't need an extra day for
you to type up the press release. I've been a
Brett or Mark guy, and I've been supporter of I
love that this guy swings for the fences.
Speaker 3: You can't bat a thousand. I get all of that.
Speaker 5: However, if you're gonna promise and you're gonna build up,
you better somewhere hit the mark, somewhere, hit the margin,
be close to what you're promising. This is cool, but
I think the build up was too much for the
announcement to not be big enough.
Speaker 3: I'm just real quick because I'm on to level set.
For some of the people that haven't seen this or
heard this, and you heard maybe the announcement today about
the new digital glass court, it's pretty cool, but this
was the precedent that was sent. This was the hype
that surrounded this announcement. And that's why, once again I
always say, expectations determine happiness in life, not the results
of what happens in life for all of us individually,
all of us collectively. Okay, if you have very high
expectations and you do not, you know the if the
life you live does not meet the expectations that you
said for, we probably gonna be happy.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happy, So I want to play the
sound by Ronald and I sent it over to you.
Check out the DMS there, Brett or Mark recently, which
game was this?
Speaker 5: This was a Baylor game and I'm trying to was
it was Baylor's second game of the week last week?
Speaker 3: I can't remember who it was. So Big twelve set
to make a major announcement Tuesday regarding enhancements to the
Big Twelve tournament. Commissioner your Mark says they will introduce
elements never before seen in the collegiate space, signaling a
bold push to further cement the tournament as a destination event.
Speaker 7: We are going to be making some major announcements soon
on some big time enhancements, which listen, I'm a first
mover and our conference is a first mover. That's how
we position ourselves, and we're going to be doing some
things that have never been done in the collegiate space.
And I think the first announcement is going to be
next Tuesday, so be on the lookout for that. And
then we're going to integrate some big time musical talent,
which is also going to be great, and listen, from
it's all been about how do we continue to celebritize
our tournament. How do we make it destinational for fans?
How do we give student athletes just the best type
of experience possible? And I thought we did it well
last year, but we're going to keep building on it
and this year is going to be incredible and again
the fans are going to be in store for some
amazing moments. There's a lot of things I can't discuss tonight,
but over the course of the next coupleties it is,
but over the course of the next couple of weeks,
we'll start dripping it out there and it's going to
be amazing.
Speaker 3: So first mover, he has been he has done so
many different things outside the box, like from the beginning,
whether it's talking about international football, in basketball in Mexico
and South America and things of that nature. Right, he's
open for business. He's been aggressive acquisitions, and he's tried
to push Yukon and and oh my gosh, he's I
think he's talked about Gonzaga and maybe even like San
Diego State. Anyway, there's been a lot of different like
strategic ideas. Some of them have been effectuated, some of
them have fallen short. Maybe he's always looking at ways
to monetize the brand, expand the brand, be a first mover.
You gotta give him credit for that because he has
executed on a number of these initiatives. I love the
outside the box thinker that is Brett Yormark. He's an
East Coast Look at what he's said. You and Ronnie,
you guys are like wwfwcwwwe guys so like you're like,
you know, championship belt, but even that thing hasn't really
been as big as we thought it was gonna. But
it's an outside the box and it's an announcement. It
creates buzz, it creates conversation, it's a marketing ploy, it's
a PR tool. Whether or not it truly makes a
huge impact is to me Noel and Voyd because it's
creating synergy across multiple entertainment platforms. Sports is entertainment and
uh even fake sports like like wrestling, okay, and I
know the movements are not fake, but the it's entertainment, right.
It's a production if you will, So you gotta give
him credit there. Now, I think where people get kicked
off as you are a little bit disappointed, like you
over hype this and you set expectations like a big announcement,
and then you come to us with this a glass
floor with lights, camera, action advertising right there. Twelve. Let's
be honest.
Speaker 5: This is about you making more money, which I'm all for.
I support businesses, I support all of that, but don't
pretend like this is for you.
Speaker 3: This is for the viewer. It's it's so that you
can make more money back.
Speaker 5: But it totally exactly which again I'm in supportive, but
I don't think you needed to announce this. You didn't
need to preemptively do this a week in advance. You
could have dropped this today and I think people would
have been like, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But the SEO says that he did it the
right way. The SEO because everyone everyone's saying what everyone
talking about it across all the different conferences, all the
national media's members.
Speaker 2: Be like, we could he could have done it.
Speaker 4: He could have said this, Ben, there's gonna be a
big announcement in regards to the Big twelve tournament, and
we'll tell you what it is next week. I feel
like your rhetoric and you're how he described as the issue.
To me, it's not the way it was how was
over highed. But it was the words that he used.
If you would have just said, you're gonna like the
changes for the tournament, like if he'd alluded just to
the tournament, impressed that, then I would have been like, oh,
what's the time.
Speaker 3: Do you think that Brett Yormark cares that we're all this?
Speaker 5: No, he does not get because he doesn't care. Everyone
hated the court last year and he doesn't care. It
gaff like he's he's a gaffe, that's who he is.
But I love to stand now because you pointed this
out to me. You said this earlier, boy cried wolf.
You now have to understand that the next time you
make an announcement, we are all gonna hold ourselves. You
only get to use this one time, and I think
you used it. So now the next time you say,
hey man, we got an announcement every day, Hey, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Even gonna report on this right. You don't even know
if it's gonna be.
Speaker 5: You used your SEO strategic numbers the last time. So
now this next time, we're gonna sit here and say, Okay,
if it's cool, I'll rock with it, but I'm not
gonna preemptively be expecting you to do something great because
last time you let me know. Now, the one thing
I will say is pushback to myself is he said
the first announcement, so it sounds and he said dripping out,
so it makes it sound like there's gonna be multiple
to this.
Speaker 3: He's gonna celebritize, so maybe there is something big.
Speaker 5: I will say, you pumped this one up, and again,
like I just said, you pumped it up, and now
I'm a little disappointed. So I'm gonna wait to see
what the next one is. I'm not gonna expect this
next one to be bigger than what we just saw.
I'll hold my tongue. Hers a game. SEU is a game.
Speaker 3: Marketing is a game, and look, Brett Jormrick knows how
to play it. We all bought hook Line and Sinker.
Whether we like it or not, it is what it is.
The Big Twelve Conference and asb Glass Floor today announced
introduced a state of the art full led video sports
Lord that will debut at the twenty twenty six Big
Twelve Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament this March at the
T Mobile Center in Kansas City. The tournaments will the
tournaments will mark the first time ASP glass four led
court technology will be used for an official competition in
the United States, representing a significant milestone in the modern
modernization of collegiate athletics beyond its use at the Big
twelve basketball tournaments there. This initial reflects a shared vision
to advance innovation in sports, explore new waste, and enhance competition,
fan engagement, and the overall game day experience. I E.
Waste Definitely, Yeah, it's about say that, like revenue streams.
Look who's getting that money? Who's getting the money from
all these fines? Yea, where's it going? Where? Yeah? Why
didn't BYU get that fifty k for being, you know,
for experiencing religious bigotry? Could we get that?
Speaker 2: You weren't here.
Speaker 3: But I had a way better idea for that.
Speaker 2: By the way, my idea was tell me the idea.
I love it.
Speaker 5: Next time BYU comes to town, you know what you
get to do if you'd like a front row seat
to whatever game Doo he's playing in, you get to
come participate in the food drive that's happening before the game.
Speaker 2: Otherwise you have to sit up in the nosebleeds.
Speaker 3: It's way more productive than some obscure fine that just
goes to Brett. Yeah, make him earn it through service.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's something positive.
Speaker 5: But yeah, get back to the clearly bread your Mark
didn't listen to because he's concerned about making money as.
Speaker 2: He should be.
Speaker 3: Hey, the filthy luke or that drives the East Coasters
will tell you that much East Coast is the best
coast per many because they know how to make that
cash money. And Brett your Mark, Look, you gotta give
him credit like he is always pushing new ideas. He's
he's you know, pushing through thresholds and uh and I
exclude him forward. But check out the rest of our

mentioned myself or ESP and the fan, so b why
you got the dub? It was a good one. It
really was. I mean it went back and forth. It
was competitive, b why you at times was dominant and
other times they let Baylor get back into it a
little bit too soon. Maybe it was it too close
for comfort for your in your opinion, guys, was it
too close? Did you feel like it was a convincing
enough victory to get back on the right track, or
you're just happy it was a dub.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think there's if Richie doesn't take that
shot and you run the clock out, then I don't
think you run into Robert getting trapped. I think that
one shot and made things closer than it needed to be.
But honestly, I don't even want to nitpick. I'm happy
that they got to win. If you watch the game,
you know that it wasn't that close, and you know
that it was a couple, you know, a couple things
that happened.
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you watch the game, you know that
that win was worth what it was. Ronnie.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that, Uh yeah, bretton I talked about this.
I think for the players, I don't think they care.
Speaker 4: I think they're just happy to turn it around, right Ben,
last win was January twenty fourth, and that's what should
be in the locker room. But for us, the viewers,
I think we can be a little bit disappointed. And
I agree with Brett that shot from Richie. The broadcast
said that Why is he taking that shot now? He
probably thought because they'd been pushing in transition in fuego
knock it down, you know, go up by ten. Take
no if Richie wants to take a shot man drive
because they've been calling everything, get the foul, go to
the free throw line, slow down or really what you
should do the right IQ play if you watch on tape,
back it out, that's what should have happened. And I
agree that put Rob in a bad position. Rob still
can't turn the ball over there twice to let that.
But it was a little too close to comfort for
me because I didn't think they were gonna win by fifteen,
but they still should have won by ten. And to me,
and I said this to Brett, and you know, I
love to get your thoughts been. If that's March madness,
if that's maybe another team, or that's the Big twelve tournament,
I don't know if you can hold on to that
lead with the momentum and thing say, I didn't like
how they ended. That was a little ugly. It wasn't
the worst ugly, but overall good win. But don't let
that happen again.
Speaker 3: Going forwards, Rob Wright the third had a career high
thirty points in his return to Waco as the number
twenty two B Way Cougar's defeated the Baylor Bears ninety
nine ninety four at Foster Pavilion on Tuesday night. Baylor
transfer Rob Right the Third posted a very efficient night
as well, twelve to twenty one from the field. He
went two of five from the three point line and
added four steals, four rebounds, three assists. He was motivated,
no doubt about it. Aj Debonsa recorded thirty six points
on fourteen of twenty shooting and made seven of eight
free throws. The true fresh one also contributed seven assists,
five rebounds in one steal. De Bonsa and Right, that
duo became the first BYU pair to reach thirty points
in a game each In a game since January fourteen,
nineteen eighty four win, Devin Durant scored thirty four points
and Brett Applegate had thirty two and a one thirteen,
one to five win over Utah. That's a pretty crazy
stat there. That's the first time since nineteen eighty four
is that a sign Nineteen eighty four is a real
good year for BLEA football and BUE basketball. Richie Saunders
came close to a double double fifteen points and nine rebounds,
while Hadem bou out of ten boards, one block, and
one steal. Cannar Davis Junior scored all twelve of his
points in the second half, including going six or seven
from the free throw line to seal the Cougar's victory
first victory in Waco. Bau fours thirteen Baylor turnovers as well,
which led to twenty four points off turnovers, and scored
sixty four points in the paint, not just settling for
buckets from the perimeter. Let's get into some sounds, shall we?
The postgame commentary from the players and the coaches. I'll
pull that up here momentarily as I'm having some technical difficulties.
It looks like with my shigin in and loggin, so
I apologize. Let's start off with the first of one.
Who do we got first? Ky or Rober at the
third or aj we.
Speaker 4: Have Kevin Young all We'll go ahead and go for it.
Kevin's this is the question to him, Is this the
kind of game you expected? The back and forth between Baylor?
Speaker 3: Never know? In the Big twelve. Every every game's hard.
Speaker 8: Every team has good players and good coaching and good atmosphere.
Speaker 2: So I'll have to look at the film to see.
Speaker 3: Exactly what happened. I thought we were you know, they
made a little run.
Speaker 8: I thought, you know, Richie probably doesn't pull the trigger
on that last three in the corner and we win
by ten or twelve in the game's over, right, So
give them credit for extending the game at the end.
But I love the fact that, you know, our guys
showed resiliency on the road when it feels, you know,
things had been tough sledding for us, and so to
have that kind of poison a road against it, you know,
and unfortunately for us, it feels like every night someone's
having a career night.
Speaker 2: But yes, Tofoo was incredible.
Speaker 8: You know, he got going, and like I said, for
our guys to be able to withstand that and just
have the determination to just flat out get a win,
I'm proud of them for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one expecting maybe the back and forth. But
as I mentioned, Baylor's playing some of their best ball
of the season. The last I mean they had they
had won too or the last three and they almost
knocked off Iowa. Stayed on the road, so you do
hate the fact that that teams players are having career
nights versus b YU, and it takes the question why
is that? Why is that? Is this a schematic thing?
Is this a culture thing? It's just a personnel issue.
Is it an effort issue? Everyone's wondering who's our defensive coordinator?
And why are we having issues with our defense so consistent?
Speaker 2: I can shed some light.
Speaker 4: I talked on the pregame show a couple of weeks
back of what Tim Fannings role was and he's in charge.
He told me of coverages and you know the defensive
assignment of times.
Speaker 2: You know well of what was brought in for that.
But Tim is supposed to be helping Kevin Young with
those and get in those.
Speaker 3: Who is who is the d C?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 4: Who is I believe I believe from what I was
was told Tim against the DC really well, yeah, that's
what Tim told me on I can I can go
pull the interview. But Tim says he was in charge
of defensive coverages unless that was just that game. But
I asked him what his role was and he said
this year that's what he's doing. Maybe they switched it,
but whoever's in charge.
Speaker 2: It's not going well.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean because remember Will Voyd was brought in.
He's the associate head coach for BYU and he's the
individual schematically that that created the peel and switch, right,
that's what you know. He's been known for defensively the
peel switch. So, like you said, only they know we're
always we're not going to force theasion bag. Hey, we
want the pie trit of accountability. Who's the defensive coordinator?
But maybe we should, maybe we need to be a
little bit more aggressive in asking those questions because obviously
BYU's offense is better than its defense, and it's been
that way all season long. Offensive efficiency per kN palm
right now fourth in the nation, fourth in the nation.
That's pretty good. We typically get buckets defense fifty six,
not horrible. But when you're going against the elite of
college basketball in the Big twelve GATA, all weaknesses are exposed.
So we'd all be too harsh obviously, But that's that's
a weakness right now. Let's get back to the sound bites,
Rob rob Right, the thirty is that the response you
expected from the crowd and how did you block it
all out?
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, that's definitely what I expected. I mean, I
remember when we played LJ last year and what he
got here, so I kind of was expecting that. But
I think I handled it pretty well.
Speaker 3: Kevin Young, We'll get to this here momentarily, but he
gave credit to the Baylor fans for keeping it classing.
So shout out to Baylor and the fan base in Waco. Coach.
What can you say about Rob and what did you
tell him coming into this game?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I just talked to him. Now, how you feeling?
Speaker 8: You know, it's when we walked in the building this
morning for shoot around, and Rob's very mature, you know,
I'm not. I honestly wasn't worried about him at all.
He's very level headed, very composed player, and I thought
he handled it great. I mean, obviously had an unbelievable game,
but you know, and.
Speaker 2: I actually have to give the Baylor fans credit. They
kept it classy. You know, they're gonna go out him
and it's it's it was.
Speaker 8: In a in a in a in a way that
was I thought, good, good, if that makes sense, you
know what I mean. And I thought the way Rob
responded by having a tremendous game and helping us pull
it out at the end, was you know, pretty.
Speaker 3: Cool, pretty cool? Indeed, keeping it classy, Waco, keeping it classy. Kevin,
how badly did you need that win? And what did
you learn about your guys? Uh that went in and
got a win versus Baylor.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think it goes out saying we
needed extremely bad and you know every season is different.
Every Uh, you know, every it's just adversity. You know
you're not gonna steamroll. Uh, definitely not through the Big twelve.
Did I think we'd ever get to a point where
we dropped four straight? No, I did not, But honestly, man,
just I'm proud of the guys. Respond In terms of
even the Houston game, I thought the way we battled
in that game against the high quality opponent with stuff
I felt like we could have that we drew from.
To be honest with you, in this game and you know,
it's a it's a long season for a reason.
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta you gotta.
Speaker 8: Ride the wave and just prout of the way that
our guys gutted this out and showed up, especially at
the beginning where you know, we had to kind of
find the right combination to players I think, and different
guys stepped up and so that that for me makes
it even more rewarding for our our team.
Speaker 3: Uh. There there's been a recent push for Hadembu to
get more playing time. Why is that? Well? I think
you saw uh why defensively per k why And he'll
get into it. He thinks you can guard the one
through the five. I'm still not convinced you can guard
the one through five. I think he's more of a
two through four. But you did see him do some
really nice things defensively, and he's a great rebounder. Is
he limited offensively? Sure, but so is everybody else on
this team? Pretty sure. Dennis Rodman was limited offensively, Yes
he was, but he you know, yeah, yeah, I mean
Dennis Rodman is Uh, it's a good pull.
Speaker 5: He is.
Speaker 3: Dennis Rodman is like the greatest rebounder that ever lived,
you know, and maybe a team has you know, some
of those qualities.
Speaker 5: Right, I don't know if he's the greatest rebound who
ever lived. Like is the guy who like everything except
for scoring points. He's got it and he and the
thing that I love about it is he doesn't care
like he's validated by scoring baskets. He's validated by helping
the team win.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's gonna go. He's gonna know his role and
shut up you been.
Speaker 4: I mean, look at the Houston game. Everything he was
every time he was on the floor, a block of skill.
He's like in the he's you know, when they found
they're supposed to get together. He's supposed to be paying attention.
He's looking at the crowd raising his hand. Get up,
get up, get up like that. That's the guy that
needs to be on the floor because that energy is
what you need because right now, no one else on
the bench is bringing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Is he finding his crew? Is he
finding his rotation? Is he finding the guys that are
gonna help him win? In late February and into March Madness,
the Big twelve Tournament and the NCAA Tournament, did we
get good visibility of what that's gonna look like? Rotation?
I don't know five guys who should all play forty
minutes and not sit out?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: And is that Hadem? I think so? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean you saw it. It was night and day
when Keba because Keble left the game. I want to
say it was like eight ten minutes somewhere in there,
and I thought, oh, Kebb will come back at some point.
This is just like a timeout for Keba. He didn't
come back, And honestly, there was never a point in
the game where I was like, Hey, when's Keba coming back.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, Hadeem is awesome. Now, what I
will say is I do think to your point, like,
I don't know that.
Speaker 5: Hadeem can perfectly guard the one through the five, So
I don't think this is like a permanent every game
so this will always work that you can kind of
run a smaller five like this, But I do think
it will work in majority of situation.
Speaker 3: Baylor is not nearly as long and as athletic as
as you of A or Houston h may you know,
I always stay not as long, but they're they're super
duper athletic and quick, and they're like a bunch of
ferocious mongys. There, just a bunch of honey Badgers out
there playing defense. But like, so you'll have some issues there,
Like you're gonna have some issues, but maybe maybe that
small ball lineup is the way to go, just because
they put forth the best effort. Look, Richie is not
the biggest guy. He is so good at crashing the
glass and taking good angles and getting a hand on
the ball and you know, speaking of Dennis, little little
tips here and there and getting up quick and just
just keeping a half court set alive. Richie Man, Like
any ill advice shots to me from Richie, I'm like,
I don't care, man, because he's putting in so much
effort the offensive glass to keep that freaking the set
alive that I'm like, you know what, yeah, take another
advice shot with you know, you know seconds or you know,
a minute remaining or whatever. You know, you have grace,
You have plenty of grace. In my mind, he reads
the ball coming off the rim so well, so well,
great vision, great, great acuity and anticipation and and his yeah,
his ability to like just understand where that ball is
coming off of the rim. That's it. It takes as
it's a special talent man tracking any ball, football, baseball, basketball,
that is a it's a it's an underrated skill set.
And I don't know if Richie played any baseball, but
typically like really good outfielders turned into like with some size,
pretty good rebounders as well, and good wide receivers too.
Speaker 2: Can defense to Ben because he knows how to go
at vertical and not felt like my.
Speaker 3: Goodness, Yeah, great defense to going up for Call. I
mean that was tremendous. That just goes to show just
is basketball like you, great basketball like you. All right,
let's get back to the sound here and the nady
gritty brought to you by Complete Circuit Electricomplete Circuit Electric
youthah dot com. Then we'll take a brief time out. Coach,
what did you see on tape from Tonday? And U?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 3: Uh? From what you saw in the game and some
of the issues he caused for the defense.
Speaker 8: Well, he shot the ball extremely well. I mean he's
ultra aggressive. You know, he's ultra aggressive with the great body.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 8: I thought he's a little bit more explosive in person.
Speaker 2: Than he is on a tape.
Speaker 8: It was a good It was fun watching some of
his plays along with the two the d I mean, yeah,
I don't know, I'd have to someone would have to
tell me when the last time in a Big twelve
game three guys had over thirty you know, some high
level stuff.
Speaker 3: Going on with all three of them.
Speaker 8: I thought AJ was unreal, you know, to have not
just the points with seven assists one turn and then
Rob just controlled the game. I thought, honestly, so yes
if it was answer. You know, it is a heavyweight,
heavyweight fight, and there was a lot of talent out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean impressive with no doubt about it. You
see impressive guys every single game. Like I'm I'm kind
of desensitized to the stardom. This the celebrity factor right now,
that's in the Big Twelve because I'm like, every day,
every game, every week, you're seeing another star that has
a career and I versus b Yu minis will continue.
It'll probably continue until we figure out what we're doing defensively,
you know. I I was asking the question to to
a few of my my friends during the game, like, look,
at what point do you feel like you go to
more of a zone based scheme and just see what happens?
Do we do we feel confident enough with the the
Big twelve shooters to like just force them to to
to beat us on the perimeter. Do you think do
do we do that? Because we you can't stay in
front anybody and we're giving up ninety anyway.
Speaker 2: I think in the second half, you throw a mixing
some zone.
Speaker 4: But when the team starts to shoot that hot, if
you go that early and it doesn't work, you're over.
Like that's the basketball problem is you can't necessarily go
to zone when they're you know, hitting shots.
Speaker 2: You can and the people gonna say, no, we're on
you're wrong.
Speaker 4: Okay, So what happens when they continue to hit him
and they break your zone and now you're in foul trouble.
You kind of want to save the zone of the
one three one till later, which they've done. But you
gotta just challenge these guys got to play better defense,
Like they got to step up. Like I get Cam
Carr as a camera car is a great guard bend.
But you gotta challenge guys to like get into the
body at the point of attack, you know, and not
foul like and I know that they're scared too because
they don't have like the depth to but like you
gotta tell Rob Canard and Richie Agent does a good job.
Speaker 2: Like look how AJ plays defense.
Speaker 4: He gets into the body early, and he doesn't in
any he backs off, He doesn't put his guys have
to do that.
Speaker 2: And I know that they're not aged, but they're not
doing that. So you could go to zone. I agree
with you. I think they should at times in the
second half.
Speaker 4: But if you go early to zone and you throw
that that justment and they still burn and they're burning
you in, you get in foul trouble. It's a bad recipe.
So I think that's why he's not doing it. But
at the end of the day, this is guys just
not getting into the body out think because look at
how Houston get up there, play defense and play without fouling.
Speaker 2: That is something they can do and they can control.
Speaker 3: Let's take a brief time out and we'll come back
with more Cougar Sports basketball commentary, getting into some of

Let's get back to some of the comments from this
Cougar coaching staff and the players. We got to win
ninety nine ninety four over the Baylor Bears. They moved
eighteen and six and on the season and six and
five and big twelve play. Let's get to Rob right
who had a career night? Rob you guys force thirteen
turnovers y'all had? Y'all only had five? How did you
guys prepare for Baylor defensively? And especially shout out to
you for getting force steals.
Speaker 9: We just came off in Houston, so they probably got
us ready, if I'm being honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to that point.
Speaker 8: I'll be back to have you know, eleven turnovers total
in our last two games, and we shot three in nineteen.
Speaker 3: And scored ninety nine points. That's crazy.
Speaker 8: You know, aj was extremely efficient, rob of famely efficient
as well. And so you know, when when the three
start falling for us, I mean, that's the lid's gonna
blow off this thing.
Speaker 2: And when you don't turn it over to your.
Speaker 8: Point and all, all the all the more uh potent
that offense becomes.
Speaker 3: Did you feel like the three point shots came a
little bit easier because they were more open than they
have been in the past. Famber Time show the shots
from Baylor, the shots from Buyu. Yeah, shot from Bayu.
Speaker 5: I honestly, I think they were open because Baylor didn't
think Bayu was gonna make that.
Speaker 3: Well they didn't. I guess they shot what three of nineteen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's I mean, I Baylor said do it,
and the uoy you tried and it didn't go down
very well.
Speaker 3: So obviously the two point game was much better. The
put points in the paint. What what led to that? Specifically?
Speaker 5: Man, Honestly, I said, I said this tongue in cheek
to Ron the other day, and and Kevin Young must
have had a mic listening in because they went ahead
and did it tonight. But I told Ron, I was like, look,
I don't need them to run any offense, any set plays,
any of that.
Speaker 3: Here's what you do.
Speaker 5: You rebound, you outlet to AJ, and you score within
ten seconds of the shot clock. And for a lot
of the game last night, it was AJ or Rob
or Richie. Hey, get the ball off the glass and
get it to the other end as soon as possible.
Don't let Baylor set up and just drive to the basket.
And Rob and AJ killed it at that, So they
didn't need the three point shot to work. Obviously it didn't,
but I do I don't know that it'll work that
well against everyone. But I do think it's just so
tough to guard AJ if you're not ready for it,
and when AJ gets you one on one and you
don't have help, you're you're cooked. I think if they
can find ways to implement that more into the game,
I think they'll find more success in the paint.
Speaker 3: Would love to see it then they could. I mean, look,
they had like, what sixty four points in the paint,
so you wanted to Ronald the three man weaver. Is
this team who has been hucking up threes all season
long trying to find their groove? Are they gonna start
trying to get you know, a little bit more grittier,
a little bit more physical, and try to get as
many points in the paint as possible and get to
the free throwing Can our Davis finally got to the
free throw line? I mean he's been hucking up threes
all season long and hasn't been hitting him. He's below
thirty percent. You wonder if things are going to change
in their mentality and the type of shots, the shots
they're going to be getting in their offensive sets.
Speaker 4: Look, Ben, I think the difference of because they've always
been senting for it the glass offensively.
Speaker 2: I don't want people to think like, oh, they're doing
something brand new.
Speaker 4: No, they always do it. It worked yesterday one because
they were able to push in transitions so well and
Baylor was tired. When you're able to really get easy
points in transition, Ben, when you don't have a secondary
ball handler.
Speaker 2: I was preaching this a little bit last week. That
helps a lot.
Speaker 4: So I think because of their ability to do that,
and that Baylor was trying to play catchup and when
they were to get inside the point and aj being
aggressive Rob Richie. When you're able to get to the
basket and you're doing both of those and you're getting
offensive rebounds, now what happens is they try to collapse,
so you get those open looks and those opportunities. So
I think you're gonna continue to see this. I think
they're gonna try to outscore people in the paint. They're
gonna try to push when they get a rebound and
transition as fast as possible to get better looks at three. Now, look,
it didn't work on Tuesday, it didn't work yesterday Tuesday night.
But I think it will work on Saturday against Colorado.
I think the same thing you saw. I think they're
gonna do the same thing on Saturday. And small ball
bin allows you to shoot more threes. They just didn't fall, unfortunately,
But I expected to be different on Saturday, especially because
you got a little, you know, a little certain someone.
There's a special guy that's gonna be in the building
on Saturday. It kind of is a three point specialist
in my opinion. I look, I don't know what. I
don't want to I'm prone to I probably a little bit.
I don't want to say that they'll make a lot
of threes, but I think you could see Bay you
make ten threes on Saturday and I can't remember the
last time they've made that this season.
Speaker 3: Let's get back to it, Rob, right the third, Rob,
just talk a little bit about the comeback, the return
to Waco. What were your emotions like heading into this game.
Speaker 9: Honestly, I just want to get a win. I mean,
coming here for shoot around, I didn't really feel nothing
when we came out to warm up. Fucked the little
emotions seeing some of the managers and coaches that coached
me here. So I'm just glad that I gotta win,
if I'm being honest, And it was good to see
some faces.
Speaker 3: Did you sense that Rob brought his a game in
this in this particular game, I mean he was breaking
up and he had it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, like Beag's the question, like once again, like we
were seeing finally a sense of urgency from this team.
Were they coasting a little bit early onto the season.
Were they coasting through midseason?
Speaker 5: No? I also, like, I do think it's important that
we understand the defense that you faced against Baylor is
not the same defense that you faced against Arizona and
against Houston and Texas.
Speaker 3: Second, then all of a sudden they decided to show
up against Baylor like this.
Speaker 5: It was easier for them to get buckets last night,
not that the game was easy and the win is
a big deal.
Speaker 3: I don't think they've been coasting.
Speaker 5: I think, truly the schedule has just been a bear,
and they got stuck in a bad spot of it,
and I think it's some point it became mental to them.
Speaker 3: I'm glad they got out of the funk against Baylor
last night. Yeah, Ronnie, your thoughts on that. Do you
think they were coasting a bit and we're seeing kind
of like a sense of urgency now or is it
just the product of the schedule.
Speaker 4: I don't think they were coasting, but I think they
expected with the talent to that they wouldn't lose.
Speaker 2: I think maybe over confident, because you.
Speaker 4: Can't be a yeah exactly like lacks of days ago,
like oh, we're gonna win this game and then a
team punches you like.
Speaker 2: Oh shoot, wait a second, I gotta actually run faster.
Speaker 3: Like you know.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it was, you know, in some
of these games. I don't think they're being lazy.
Speaker 4: I think they thought that, oh, if they go out there,
you know and just do no, sometimes you have to
like clapp in a guy's face, Hey, get right, like
you have to wake up a little bit.
Speaker 2: I think they were having some of those mumbles.
Speaker 4: But then again, Brett pointed out yesterday they played what
how many Texas Tech, Kansas, Houston?
Speaker 2: Come on? Man, like Arizona?
Speaker 4: Who else in the big twelve played that schedule eight
in that stretch? Now Kansas is about to do it.
But like that, that's the point, Like they played four
ring teams in the top ten, top five, you know,
and how much of a span you know, six games.
Speaker 2: That's tough. So and you have to bring your a game.
Speaker 4: You can't like kevy into the margin fair when you're
playing four of the top teams in the country. Ben
is like zero second to none, and you know when
you have them, they're able to do it. But look,
maybe this is the time that they get right.
Speaker 3: Aj it felt like you and Towady were going at
each other one on one. Were you prepared for that
matchup and coming in with a little extra action in
this game.
Speaker 6: I came in just because I wanted to get ribbed
and win. Just how we got, you know, the win
for Kaba and Richie down there in Utah and at home.
It was kind of just the same thing, you know,
coming with a little extra when you know guys haven't
or guys coming from old schools, but not I'm into
it for some time. McDonald's a American teammate with his competitors,
so we weren't at each other, and I probably see him.
I will see him at the next level for sure, be.
Speaker 3: Seeing them in the NBA, no doubt. Aj. It was
really effishing game from you, fourteen to twenty for the field.
How much was the losing streak on your mind tonight?
Speaker 2: I mean it was everything.
Speaker 6: Like like you said, I didn't expect to drop four straight,
but I mean, you gota to do with adversity. It
makes us stronger. So this is a must win for us.
Didn't want to come out here under five hundred and
the Big twelve.
Speaker 3: Can't have it. Man, you got to be above five hundred.
You know, I think at worst Bay will be right
at five hundred and the big twelve when the season ends. AJ,
I'm not sure if you heard the amount of booze
that went Robert rob right the third's way, what does
that do to your mindset? His teammates knowing that if
you swing it to the top of the key, there's
going to be a lot of noise. I don't even
know he was getting booed.
Speaker 2: I just really tried to get him going early.
Speaker 6: So, I mean, I knew they were kind of still
good at boo but if you get him going early
and then you know the science, the crowd's a good feeling.
Speaker 3: So I to try to do that. Look and AJ
he had seven assist guys. I mean, we know AJ
can be a distributor. He's a he's a playmaker for others.
And that's one of the reasons why you love AJ.
Because number One, he's putting in the minutes. He's not
sitting out, he's not DNP. He brings a competitive nature
to every single game, and he's a full fledged basketball player.
Plays defense. He's gotten better and better on the defensive end,
I think, and he's distributing the basketball at a high level.
So right now, aj trending in the right direction with
points production, his efficiency, his defensive effort, and I would
say his distribution ability. Kevin, last thing here, you took
two timeouts in the first half. What did you do
to adjust and do you think your guys played better
defense defensively than a week ago?
Speaker 8: Yes, our defense is better, Uh no, not by much,
but it was better. The reason, yeah, we called the
timeouts to make sure we had the right groupings in there.
You know, the subject wildly different tonight than I have
for most of the season. You know, Hadeem came in
and played the five, you know, like him out there
to be able to switch one through five. I thought
that put them in mud a little bit and you know,
really helped us. So that's where those two timeouts are going.
But also, man, you know, I'm you know, I learned
too like a Texas tech, I probably held onto too
many timeouts in the first half. It's probably you know,
on the road, it's a little bit different, So try
to use them a little bit earlier to try to
settle our group. And I thought it, you know, I
thought it paid off in the first half to be
able to kind of whether they're initial onslaught where they
were felt like they were hitting.
Speaker 3: Every shot they go. That's ky post game BYU versus Baylor.
It's great to get the monkey off the back right
and BYU has some formidable foes left on the schedule,
There's no doubt about it. But look that that was
a great win for BYU in so many ways. It's
a quad one win on the road versus a good
basketball team, in my opinion, a great basketball team, but
a good basketball team. Let's take a time out, we'll
come back with it. Let's talk about stats. Segment, don't
