Hopefully you having a wonderful day celebrating finally b YU

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,439
basketball getting out of the funk and getting into the

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,159
win column, Thank goodness, hollelujah, and hopefully they continue in

22
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,040
there now most recent winning ways, they got to win

23
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:23,760
on the road. It was it was a quad one win. Fantastic, glorious,

24
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,959
thank you, thank you. I did not want them to

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,879
talk about another loss. They found a way. It was gritty,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,439
it was tenacious, and Baylor was playing their best basketball

27
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,760
I think of the year, quite honestly, in the last

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,599
three games. They took Iowa State down to the wire.

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,760
That was a good win. It was a good win

30
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:44,200
versus I think a better team than the record indicates,

31
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:47,760
and hopefully that continues. Hopefully get hopefully Baylor just goes

32
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:50,359
on a tear and and and wins some ball games

33
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:52,319
at the end of the year. I know some of

34
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:53,840
the key players got in a foul trouble and that

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,079
may have inhibited their maybe scoring ability. But good win nevertheless,

36
00:01:58,319 --> 00:01:59,959
and we want to discuss it here on your Utah

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,200

you to my co host and the rest of the

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,719
stars to cash joining us for this beautiful hump day

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,800
edition of Cougar Sports. Let's welcome into the show architect

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,520
of this Cougar Sports show, the bucket getter himself, our

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,080
point guard, Ronald the three Man Weaver. What's up, Ronald Weaver?

69
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,080
What is up?

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,159
Speaker 2: Benjamin J. Cridle, I have seen enough. I'm ready to

71
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:32,919
go out on a limb.

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: Ben I don't care what your reason is for not

73
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:39,879
wanting to play basketball at this point in time, but

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,400
I can tell you from what I see in what

75
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,759
my eyes tell me, and Brett knows is you know this.

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,039
Speaker 2: I'm a basketball junkie.

77
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:48,639
Speaker 4: But in the last six games, there's one aj D's

78
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:52,439
bonses that's averaged darn near thirty one points over fifty

79
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:56,360
five percent shooting from the fields. Not that's the entire floor.

80
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:59,400
By the way, forty eight percent from three has grabbed.

81
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,319
Speaker 2: About four points, six rebounds and four assist.

82
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:05,159
Speaker 4: Look, if he keeps that up, and a certain player

83
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:07,360
that I will not name anymore, I've I've declared, and

84
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,319
I'm not gonna name the guy down in Kansas continues

85
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,960
to sit out and doesn't want to play in March

86
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,879
Madness executives, I think of the NBA and those they're

87
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:16,839
not gonna want that kid.

88
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: They're gonna want this kid that's playing.

89
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,519
Speaker 4: At sniffling over the post game constantly, that's showing up,

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,079
balling out.

91
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,439
Speaker 3: I think A J. D.

92
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: Bonds is going to be the number one pick Ben

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,879
because of what he's doing in the most important moments.

94
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:31,439
Speaker 3: Look, I can tell you what's gonna happen. I'll tell

95
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:33,920
you right now. There's a lot of controversy right now

96
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,600
around d and p uh and and that's that's okay,

97
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,240
that's fine, that's dandy. I'm sure Bill self is a

98
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,040
little bit up in arms about his his star player,

99
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:45,360
but they gotta win versus the number one team in

100
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:47,439
the country without him, So they're like, hey, like we're

101
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,480
still a great team even without them, And they are.

102
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480
Let's not get it twisted. Whether they're at home or

103
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,839
the Waite settings, they're a good basketball team. Uh And

104
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,879
they deserve to be ranked where they're at, and maybe

105
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,639
even better than whether they're where they're ranked. This was

106
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,720
gonna have happen, though, Like once the March Madness begins,

107
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,240
you're gonna see, I mean, you're gonna see something special

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,120
occur at the MP and he's most likely gonna lead

109
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,800
them to Glorian victory and the madness of March and uh,

110
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,879
it's gonna be tremendous, just like it was when he

111
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:20,879
played BYU, just like it was when he got to

112
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,480
win on the road versus some formidable foes this season

113
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:27,240
in the Big twelve. So he's gonna play, and then

114
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,199
we're gonna we're gonna be tossed to and fro once

115
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,279
again because AJ could be playing really well and he

116
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,639
is playing very well. He's trending in the right direction,

117
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,759
and it's gonna be a battle once again for who's

118
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:38,319
gonna be the number one overall pick. I do think

119
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,600
d MP will begin to DP. He's gonna actually play

120
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,839
in late February and uh in March and uh, and

121
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:48,680
we're gonna have to have this debate. It'll it will

122
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:53,160
continue leading up to the NBA Draft about the high

123
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,160
upside potential of AJ and the refined, polished scoring, elite

124
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:03,720
nature of Darren Peterson being probably the most prolific score

125
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,319
when given volume. He's he's definitely the best shooter, definitely

126
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,439
the best score. He's the most crafty out of this

127
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,240
out of this group. Uh, you like Carlos Booze, you

128
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:13,920
like some of these other guys, et cetera. That there's

129
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:16,519
a lot of great players in this freshman class. But uh,

130
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,839
I think we're gonna continue to have this discussion, even

131
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,879
with all the controversy with d Mpless. Welcome in hammertime

132
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120
show always bring the hammer. I agree or disagree with me?

133
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: There, No, I I agree.

134
00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: I think that I think I've said this.

135
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 5: Darren Peterson is the best player in the class, like

136
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,439
he is the best, the most talented, So I agree.

137
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,399
I mean, he'll show up in the tournament, he'll do

138
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,079
something crazy, and we'll forget that.

139
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,879
Speaker 3: He ever set out eleven games.

140
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 5: I will say, though, there's something in the Big twelve

141
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:50,560
that frustrates me just as much as Darren Peterson's that

142
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,560
here we go.

143
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm I'm upset. I'm upset, folks, And I told Ron

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,360
about this.

145
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:57,319
Speaker 5: Ben and I had a long conversation about it before

146
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,120
I walked in here to the studio, and I've become

147
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,600
accustomed to this because Marvel does to this to me

148
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160
every year, where they over promise and then they under deliver.

149
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:12,199
If you're gonna make an announcement and you're gonna have

150
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:14,920
Brett your Mark show his face at a game and

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,680
do a halftime conversation and say, look, I can't say

152
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,439
what it is, but it's gonna be a pretty big deal.

153
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,519
And then I listened to Ari Tempkin and James Westling

154
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:24,480
on Big twelve today say look, we know what the

155
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,399
announcement is. We can't say what it is, but it's

156
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,920
gonna be a really big deal. And then I'm sitting

157
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:31,759
here on Tuesday and I go, oh, Big twelve too.

158
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:33,800
Now it's not coming till Wednesday. All right, Well it

159
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,279
must be pretty big if they weren't writing to announce

160
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:40,240
this until the next day. And then Wednesday we get here. Hey, guys,

161
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:43,079
we're changing the court. It's gonna be glass now.

162
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:48,399
Speaker 3: Really, there's gonna be flashing lights and insignias and advertisements.

163
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: That's your big announcement. That did not need a week

164
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:55,759
of build up. It didn't need an extra day for

165
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,120
you to type up the press release. I've been a

166
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:01,160
Brett or Mark guy, and I've been supporter of I

167
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,000
love that this guy swings for the fences.

168
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:04,839
Speaker 3: You can't bat a thousand. I get all of that.

169
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,319
Speaker 5: However, if you're gonna promise and you're gonna build up,

170
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:12,160
you better somewhere hit the mark, somewhere, hit the margin,

171
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,639
be close to what you're promising. This is cool, but

172
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,079
I think the build up was too much for the

173
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,800
announcement to not be big enough.

174
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: I'm just real quick because I'm on to level set.

175
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:23,240
For some of the people that haven't seen this or

176
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:27,000
heard this, and you heard maybe the announcement today about

177
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:34,039
the new digital glass court, it's pretty cool, but this

178
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:38,519
was the precedent that was sent. This was the hype

179
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,360
that surrounded this announcement. And that's why, once again I

180
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,240
always say, expectations determine happiness in life, not the results

181
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:50,159
of what happens in life for all of us individually,

182
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,000
all of us collectively. Okay, if you have very high

183
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,519
expectations and you do not, you know the if the

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,639
life you live does not meet the expectations that you

185
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:00,840
said for, we probably gonna be happy.

186
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 6: Right.

187
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happy, So I want to play the

188
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,759
sound by Ronald and I sent it over to you.

189
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Check out the DMS there, Brett or Mark recently, which

190
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:08,720
game was this?

191
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 5: This was a Baylor game and I'm trying to was

192
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,519
it was Baylor's second game of the week last week?

193
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,799
Speaker 3: I can't remember who it was. So Big twelve set

194
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480
to make a major announcement Tuesday regarding enhancements to the

195
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:21,360
Big Twelve tournament. Commissioner your Mark says they will introduce

196
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,600
elements never before seen in the collegiate space, signaling a

197
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:29,759
bold push to further cement the tournament as a destination event.

198
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,639
Speaker 7: We are going to be making some major announcements soon

199
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,320
on some big time enhancements, which listen, I'm a first

200
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,240
mover and our conference is a first mover. That's how

201
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,399
we position ourselves, and we're going to be doing some

202
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:47,679
things that have never been done in the collegiate space.

203
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:49,559
And I think the first announcement is going to be

204
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,519
next Tuesday, so be on the lookout for that. And

205
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,679
then we're going to integrate some big time musical talent,

206
00:09:57,919 --> 00:09:59,919
which is also going to be great, and listen, from

207
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,360
it's all been about how do we continue to celebritize

208
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,840
our tournament. How do we make it destinational for fans?

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,679
How do we give student athletes just the best type

210
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,919
of experience possible? And I thought we did it well

211
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,759
last year, but we're going to keep building on it

212
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,200
and this year is going to be incredible and again

213
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,399
the fans are going to be in store for some

214
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:25,759
amazing moments. There's a lot of things I can't discuss tonight,

215
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:30,200
but over the course of the next coupleties it is,

216
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:32,279
but over the course of the next couple of weeks,

217
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,519
we'll start dripping it out there and it's going to

218
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:35,960
be amazing.

219
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: So first mover, he has been he has done so

220
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,679
many different things outside the box, like from the beginning,

221
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,679
whether it's talking about international football, in basketball in Mexico

222
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,200
and South America and things of that nature. Right, he's

223
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,080
open for business. He's been aggressive acquisitions, and he's tried

224
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,159
to push Yukon and and oh my gosh, he's I

225
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,480
think he's talked about Gonzaga and maybe even like San

226
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,279
Diego State. Anyway, there's been a lot of different like

227
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,720
strategic ideas. Some of them have been effectuated, some of

228
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:16,080
them have fallen short. Maybe he's always looking at ways

229
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,600
to monetize the brand, expand the brand, be a first mover.

230
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,559
You gotta give him credit for that because he has

231
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,399
executed on a number of these initiatives. I love the

232
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,480
outside the box thinker that is Brett Yormark. He's an

233
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,639
East Coast Look at what he's said. You and Ronnie,

234
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,639
you guys are like wwfwcwwwe guys so like you're like,

235
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,279
you know, championship belt, but even that thing hasn't really

236
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,120
been as big as we thought it was gonna. But

237
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:43,360
it's an outside the box and it's an announcement. It

238
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:47,440
creates buzz, it creates conversation, it's a marketing ploy, it's

239
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,639
a PR tool. Whether or not it truly makes a

240
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:56,360
huge impact is to me Noel and Voyd because it's

241
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:01,679
creating synergy across multiple entertainment platforms. Sports is entertainment and

242
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,600
uh even fake sports like like wrestling, okay, and I

243
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,360
know the movements are not fake, but the it's entertainment, right.

244
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,039
It's a production if you will, So you gotta give

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,799
him credit there. Now, I think where people get kicked

246
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,200
off as you are a little bit disappointed, like you

247
00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:20,720
over hype this and you set expectations like a big announcement,

248
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,840
and then you come to us with this a glass

249
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:31,039
floor with lights, camera, action advertising right there. Twelve. Let's

250
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,440
be honest.

251
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,039
Speaker 5: This is about you making more money, which I'm all for.

252
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,799
I support businesses, I support all of that, but don't

253
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,360
pretend like this is for you.

254
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: This is for the viewer. It's it's so that you

255
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:41,759
can make more money back.

256
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:45,799
Speaker 5: But it totally exactly which again I'm in supportive, but

257
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,279
I don't think you needed to announce this. You didn't

258
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,039
need to preemptively do this a week in advance. You

259
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,960
could have dropped this today and I think people would

260
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,960
have been like, oh, that's cool.

261
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. But the SEO says that he did it the

262
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:59,840
right way. The SEO because everyone everyone's saying what everyone

263
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,639
talking about it across all the different conferences, all the

264
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:05,919
national media's members.

265
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Be like, we could he could have done it.

266
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: He could have said this, Ben, there's gonna be a

267
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:14,679
big announcement in regards to the Big twelve tournament, and

268
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:16,679
we'll tell you what it is next week. I feel

269
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,000
like your rhetoric and you're how he described as the issue.

270
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:21,960
To me, it's not the way it was how was

271
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:23,639
over highed. But it was the words that he used.

272
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,960
If you would have just said, you're gonna like the

273
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,519
changes for the tournament, like if he'd alluded just to

274
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,159
the tournament, impressed that, then I would have been like, oh,

275
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,679
what's the time.

276
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: Do you think that Brett Yormark cares that we're all this?

277
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: No, he does not get because he doesn't care. Everyone

278
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,919
hated the court last year and he doesn't care. It

279
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,600
gaff like he's he's a gaffe, that's who he is.

280
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,080
But I love to stand now because you pointed this

281
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,519
out to me. You said this earlier, boy cried wolf.

282
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:50,720
You now have to understand that the next time you

283
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,919
make an announcement, we are all gonna hold ourselves. You

284
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:55,720
only get to use this one time, and I think

285
00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:57,879
you used it. So now the next time you say,

286
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:01,120
hey man, we got an announcement every day, Hey, I'm not.

287
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: Even gonna report on this right. You don't even know

288
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,519
if it's gonna be.

289
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,799
Speaker 5: You used your SEO strategic numbers the last time. So

290
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:10,039
now this next time, we're gonna sit here and say, Okay,

291
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:12,679
if it's cool, I'll rock with it, but I'm not

292
00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:16,240
gonna preemptively be expecting you to do something great because

293
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,919
last time you let me know. Now, the one thing

294
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,200
I will say is pushback to myself is he said

295
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,639
the first announcement, so it sounds and he said dripping out,

296
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,759
so it makes it sound like there's gonna be multiple

297
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,039
to this.

298
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: He's gonna celebritize, so maybe there is something big.

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,919
Speaker 5: I will say, you pumped this one up, and again,

300
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,519
like I just said, you pumped it up, and now

301
00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:37,120
I'm a little disappointed. So I'm gonna wait to see

302
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,200
what the next one is. I'm not gonna expect this

303
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,559
next one to be bigger than what we just saw.

304
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,159
I'll hold my tongue. Hers a game. SEU is a game.

305
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,639
Speaker 3: Marketing is a game, and look, Brett Jormrick knows how

306
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,960
to play it. We all bought hook Line and Sinker.

307
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,159
Whether we like it or not, it is what it is.

308
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,120
The Big Twelve Conference and asb Glass Floor today announced

309
00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:58,639
introduced a state of the art full led video sports

310
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Lord that will debut at the twenty twenty six Big

T Mobile Center in Kansas City. The tournaments will the

313
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,519
tournaments will mark the first time ASP glass four led

314
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:14,480
court technology will be used for an official competition in

315
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,320
the United States, representing a significant milestone in the modern

316
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:21,879
modernization of collegiate athletics beyond its use at the Big

317
00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:25,639
twelve basketball tournaments there. This initial reflects a shared vision

318
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,159
to advance innovation in sports, explore new waste, and enhance competition,

319
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,000
fan engagement, and the overall game day experience. I E.

320
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Waste Definitely, Yeah, it's about say that, like revenue streams.

321
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,039
Look who's getting that money? Who's getting the money from

322
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,200
all these fines? Yea, where's it going? Where? Yeah? Why

323
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,159
didn't BYU get that fifty k for being, you know,

324
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,279
for experiencing religious bigotry? Could we get that?

325
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,559
Speaker 2: You weren't here.

326
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:53,039
Speaker 3: But I had a way better idea for that.

327
00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: By the way, my idea was tell me the idea.

328
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:55,960
I love it.

329
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,039
Speaker 5: Next time BYU comes to town, you know what you

330
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,000
get to do if you'd like a front row seat

331
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,519
to whatever game Doo he's playing in, you get to

332
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:05,279
come participate in the food drive that's happening before the game.

333
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: Otherwise you have to sit up in the nosebleeds.

334
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: It's way more productive than some obscure fine that just

335
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,440
goes to Brett. Yeah, make him earn it through service.

336
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah it's something positive.

337
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:16,159
Speaker 5: But yeah, get back to the clearly bread your Mark

338
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:18,159
didn't listen to because he's concerned about making money as.

339
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:18,519
Speaker 2: He should be.

340
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: Hey, the filthy luke or that drives the East Coasters

341
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,759
will tell you that much East Coast is the best

342
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,440
coast per many because they know how to make that

343
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,960
cash money. And Brett your Mark, Look, you gotta give

344
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:32,759
him credit like he is always pushing new ideas. He's

345
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,720

389
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,720
mentioned myself or ESP and the fan, so b why

390
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:05,759
you got the dub? It was a good one. It

391
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:07,519
really was. I mean it went back and forth. It

392
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,000
was competitive, b why you at times was dominant and

393
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:15,680
other times they let Baylor get back into it a

394
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,640
little bit too soon. Maybe it was it too close

395
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,559
for comfort for your in your opinion, guys, was it

396
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,559
too close? Did you feel like it was a convincing

397
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,279
enough victory to get back on the right track, or

398
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:27,279
you're just happy it was a dub.

399
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I think there's if Richie doesn't take that

400
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:32,680
shot and you run the clock out, then I don't

401
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,240
think you run into Robert getting trapped. I think that

402
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,599
one shot and made things closer than it needed to be.

403
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,039
But honestly, I don't even want to nitpick. I'm happy

404
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,680
that they got to win. If you watch the game,

405
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,079
you know that it wasn't that close, and you know

406
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,559
that it was a couple, you know, a couple things

407
00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:51,359
that happened.

408
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you watch the game, you know that

409
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,279
that win was worth what it was. Ronnie.

410
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that, Uh yeah, bretton I talked about this.

411
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,039
I think for the players, I don't think they care.

412
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 4: I think they're just happy to turn it around, right Ben,

413
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,640
last win was January twenty fourth, and that's what should

414
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,119
be in the locker room. But for us, the viewers,

415
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:08,920
I think we can be a little bit disappointed. And

416
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:11,559
I agree with Brett that shot from Richie. The broadcast

417
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:13,559
said that Why is he taking that shot now? He

418
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,279
probably thought because they'd been pushing in transition in fuego

419
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,160
knock it down, you know, go up by ten. Take

420
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,160
no if Richie wants to take a shot man drive

421
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,200
because they've been calling everything, get the foul, go to

422
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,759
the free throw line, slow down or really what you

423
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:28,039
should do the right IQ play if you watch on tape,

424
00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:29,880
back it out, that's what should have happened. And I

425
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,119
agree that put Rob in a bad position. Rob still

426
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,119
can't turn the ball over there twice to let that.

427
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,640
But it was a little too close to comfort for

428
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,119
me because I didn't think they were gonna win by fifteen,

429
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,680
but they still should have won by ten. And to me,

430
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,279
and I said this to Brett, and you know, I

431
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:44,720
love to get your thoughts been. If that's March madness,

432
00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,279
if that's maybe another team, or that's the Big twelve tournament,

433
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:49,240
I don't know if you can hold on to that

434
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,279
lead with the momentum and thing say, I didn't like

435
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:53,960
how they ended. That was a little ugly. It wasn't

436
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,039
the worst ugly, but overall good win. But don't let

437
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:57,799
that happen again.

438
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: Going forwards, Rob Wright the third had a career high

439
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,240
thirty points in his return to Waco as the number

440
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:08,640
twenty two B Way Cougar's defeated the Baylor Bears ninety

441
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,200
nine ninety four at Foster Pavilion on Tuesday night. Baylor

442
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,720
transfer Rob Right the Third posted a very efficient night

443
00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:17,559
as well, twelve to twenty one from the field. He

444
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,799
went two of five from the three point line and

445
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:24,519
added four steals, four rebounds, three assists. He was motivated,

446
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,480
no doubt about it. Aj Debonsa recorded thirty six points

447
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:31,279
on fourteen of twenty shooting and made seven of eight

448
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:33,960
free throws. The true fresh one also contributed seven assists,

449
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,880
five rebounds in one steal. De Bonsa and Right, that

450
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,599
duo became the first BYU pair to reach thirty points

451
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,599
in a game each In a game since January fourteen,

452
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,640
nineteen eighty four win, Devin Durant scored thirty four points

453
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,720
and Brett Applegate had thirty two and a one thirteen,

454
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:52,400
one to five win over Utah. That's a pretty crazy

455
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,720
stat there. That's the first time since nineteen eighty four

456
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,599
is that a sign Nineteen eighty four is a real

457
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,400
good year for BLEA football and BUE basketball. Richie Saunders

458
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,160
came close to a double double fifteen points and nine rebounds,

459
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,960
while Hadem bou out of ten boards, one block, and

460
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:10,279
one steal. Cannar Davis Junior scored all twelve of his

461
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,559
points in the second half, including going six or seven

462
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,119
from the free throw line to seal the Cougar's victory

463
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,880
first victory in Waco. Bau fours thirteen Baylor turnovers as well,

464
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,960
which led to twenty four points off turnovers, and scored

465
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,480
sixty four points in the paint, not just settling for

466
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,440
buckets from the perimeter. Let's get into some sounds, shall we?

467
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,279
The postgame commentary from the players and the coaches. I'll

468
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:39,759
pull that up here momentarily as I'm having some technical difficulties.

469
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:43,079
It looks like with my shigin in and loggin, so

470
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:44,519
I apologize. Let's start off with the first of one.

471
00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:46,680
Who do we got first? Ky or Rober at the

472
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,200
third or aj we.

473
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:51,759
Speaker 4: Have Kevin Young all We'll go ahead and go for it.

474
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:54,200
Kevin's this is the question to him, Is this the

475
00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:56,960
kind of game you expected? The back and forth between Baylor?

476
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,039
Speaker 3: Never know? In the Big twelve. Every every game's hard.

477
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,519
Speaker 8: Every team has good players and good coaching and good atmosphere.

478
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: So I'll have to look at the film to see.

479
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: Exactly what happened. I thought we were you know, they

480
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:11,400
made a little run.

481
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 8: I thought, you know, Richie probably doesn't pull the trigger

482
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,640
on that last three in the corner and we win

483
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,759
by ten or twelve in the game's over, right, So

484
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,200
give them credit for extending the game at the end.

485
00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:22,599
But I love the fact that, you know, our guys

486
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,640
showed resiliency on the road when it feels, you know,

487
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,759
things had been tough sledding for us, and so to

488
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:29,960
have that kind of poison a road against it, you know,

489
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:33,200
and unfortunately for us, it feels like every night someone's

490
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,000
having a career night.

491
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: But yes, Tofoo was incredible.

492
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 8: You know, he got going, and like I said, for

493
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:40,240
our guys to be able to withstand that and just

494
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:43,039
have the determination to just flat out get a win,

495
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,119
I'm proud of them for that.

496
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:48,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one expecting maybe the back and forth. But

497
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,920
as I mentioned, Baylor's playing some of their best ball

498
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,799
of the season. The last I mean they had they

499
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,440
had won too or the last three and they almost

500
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:57,680
knocked off Iowa. Stayed on the road, so you do

501
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,920
hate the fact that that teams players are having career

502
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:04,160
nights versus b YU, and it takes the question why

503
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,559
is that? Why is that? Is this a schematic thing?

504
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:12,920
Is this a culture thing? It's just a personnel issue.

505
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:20,559
Is it an effort issue? Everyone's wondering who's our defensive coordinator?

506
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:26,039
And why are we having issues with our defense so consistent?

507
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: I can shed some light.

508
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 4: I talked on the pregame show a couple of weeks

509
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,039
back of what Tim Fannings role was and he's in charge.

510
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,720
He told me of coverages and you know the defensive

511
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,440
assignment of times.

512
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,839
Speaker 2: You know well of what was brought in for that.

513
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,160
But Tim is supposed to be helping Kevin Young with

514
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:42,519
those and get in those.

515
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: Who is who is the d C?

516
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,039
Speaker 6: Then?

517
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:47,039
Speaker 4: Who is I believe I believe from what I was

518
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,480
was told Tim against the DC really well, yeah, that's

519
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:51,880
what Tim told me on I can I can go

520
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,599
pull the interview. But Tim says he was in charge

521
00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:56,559
of defensive coverages unless that was just that game. But

522
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,400
I asked him what his role was and he said

523
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,640
this year that's what he's doing. Maybe they switched it,

524
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,880
but whoever's in charge.

525
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 2: It's not going well.

526
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: Well, I mean because remember Will Voyd was brought in.

527
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:09,799
He's the associate head coach for BYU and he's the

528
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:17,599
individual schematically that that created the peel and switch, right,

529
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,200
that's what you know. He's been known for defensively the

530
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,720
peel switch. So, like you said, only they know we're

531
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,359
always we're not going to force theasion bag. Hey, we

532
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,000
want the pie trit of accountability. Who's the defensive coordinator?

533
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:33,400
But maybe we should, maybe we need to be a

534
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,240
little bit more aggressive in asking those questions because obviously

535
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:42,519
BYU's offense is better than its defense, and it's been

536
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:46,359
that way all season long. Offensive efficiency per kN palm

537
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,680
right now fourth in the nation, fourth in the nation.

538
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,799
That's pretty good. We typically get buckets defense fifty six,

539
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,640
not horrible. But when you're going against the elite of

540
00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:02,680
college basketball in the Big twelve GATA, all weaknesses are exposed.

541
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,640
So we'd all be too harsh obviously, But that's that's

542
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,400
a weakness right now. Let's get back to the sound bites,

543
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,319
Rob rob Right, the thirty is that the response you

544
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,119
expected from the crowd and how did you block it

545
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:18,640
all out?

546
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, that's definitely what I expected. I mean, I

547
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:24,680
remember when we played LJ last year and what he

548
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:27,039
got here, so I kind of was expecting that. But

549
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,359
I think I handled it pretty well.

550
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:33,079
Speaker 3: Kevin Young, We'll get to this here momentarily, but he

551
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,359
gave credit to the Baylor fans for keeping it classing.

552
00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:41,000
So shout out to Baylor and the fan base in Waco. Coach.

553
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,599
What can you say about Rob and what did you

554
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,119
tell him coming into this game?

555
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:46,599
Speaker 8: Yeah?

556
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 3: I just talked to him. Now, how you feeling?

557
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,799
Speaker 8: You know, it's when we walked in the building this

558
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,680
morning for shoot around, and Rob's very mature, you know,

559
00:26:53,759 --> 00:26:56,039
I'm not. I honestly wasn't worried about him at all.

560
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,599
He's very level headed, very composed player, and I thought

561
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,960
he handled it great. I mean, obviously had an unbelievable game,

562
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,680
but you know, and.

563
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: I actually have to give the Baylor fans credit. They

564
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,799
kept it classy. You know, they're gonna go out him

565
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:11,640
and it's it's it was.

566
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 8: In a in a in a in a way that

567
00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:17,920
was I thought, good, good, if that makes sense, you

568
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,480
know what I mean. And I thought the way Rob

569
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:22,599
responded by having a tremendous game and helping us pull

570
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,720
it out at the end, was you know, pretty.

571
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,759
Speaker 3: Cool, pretty cool? Indeed, keeping it classy, Waco, keeping it classy. Kevin,

572
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,039
how badly did you need that win? And what did

573
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,319
you learn about your guys? Uh that went in and

574
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,519
got a win versus Baylor.

575
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:40,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think it goes out saying we

576
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,079
needed extremely bad and you know every season is different.

577
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Every Uh, you know, every it's just adversity. You know

578
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,480
you're not gonna steamroll. Uh, definitely not through the Big twelve.

579
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:54,400
Did I think we'd ever get to a point where

580
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,160
we dropped four straight? No, I did not, But honestly, man,

581
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:00,880
just I'm proud of the guys. Respond In terms of

582
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,400
even the Houston game, I thought the way we battled

583
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,200
in that game against the high quality opponent with stuff

584
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:08,880
I felt like we could have that we drew from.

585
00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:11,880
To be honest with you, in this game and you know,

586
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,920
it's a it's a long season for a reason.

587
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta you gotta.

588
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 8: Ride the wave and just prout of the way that

589
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,559
our guys gutted this out and showed up, especially at

590
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:25,160
the beginning where you know, we had to kind of

591
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,559
find the right combination to players I think, and different

592
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:31,039
guys stepped up and so that that for me makes

593
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:33,680
it even more rewarding for our our team.

594
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,839
Speaker 3: Uh. There there's been a recent push for Hadembu to

595
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:41,039
get more playing time. Why is that? Well? I think

596
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:46,640
you saw uh why defensively per k why And he'll

597
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,880
get into it. He thinks you can guard the one

598
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,640
through the five. I'm still not convinced you can guard

599
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,759
the one through five. I think he's more of a

600
00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:54,920
two through four. But you did see him do some

601
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:58,759
really nice things defensively, and he's a great rebounder. Is

602
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:02,559
he limited offensively? Sure, but so is everybody else on

603
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,079
this team? Pretty sure. Dennis Rodman was limited offensively, Yes

604
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,440
he was, but he you know, yeah, yeah, I mean

605
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:12,680
Dennis Rodman is Uh, it's a good pull.

606
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 5: He is.

607
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,759
Speaker 3: Dennis Rodman is like the greatest rebounder that ever lived,

608
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,680
you know, and maybe a team has you know, some

609
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:23,200
of those qualities.

610
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 5: Right, I don't know if he's the greatest rebound who

611
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,000
ever lived. Like is the guy who like everything except

612
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:30,559
for scoring points. He's got it and he and the

613
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:32,880
thing that I love about it is he doesn't care

614
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:39,880
like he's validated by scoring baskets. He's validated by helping

615
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,240
the team win.

616
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: Yes, he's gonna go. He's gonna know his role and

617
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:46,160
shut up you been.

618
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:48,519
Speaker 4: I mean, look at the Houston game. Everything he was

619
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,839
every time he was on the floor, a block of skill.

620
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,680
He's like in the he's you know, when they found

621
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,880
they're supposed to get together. He's supposed to be paying attention.

622
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:56,680
He's looking at the crowd raising his hand. Get up,

623
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,640
get up, get up like that. That's the guy that

624
00:29:58,759 --> 00:30:01,279
needs to be on the floor because that energy is

625
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:02,839
what you need because right now, no one else on

626
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,720
the bench is bringing that.

627
00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Is he finding his crew? Is he

628
00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:14,559
finding his rotation? Is he finding the guys that are

629
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:18,559
gonna help him win? In late February and into March Madness,

630
00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:21,720
the Big twelve Tournament and the NCAA Tournament, did we

631
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:25,079
get good visibility of what that's gonna look like? Rotation?

632
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:27,519
I don't know five guys who should all play forty

633
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:28,519
minutes and not sit out?

634
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:29,039
Speaker 2: Yes?

635
00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: And is that Hadem? I think so? Yeah?

636
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 5: I mean you saw it. It was night and day

637
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,359
when Keba because Keble left the game. I want to

638
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:38,680
say it was like eight ten minutes somewhere in there,

639
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,079
and I thought, oh, Kebb will come back at some point.

640
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,960
This is just like a timeout for Keba. He didn't

641
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,680
come back, And honestly, there was never a point in

642
00:30:46,759 --> 00:30:48,759
the game where I was like, Hey, when's Keba coming back.

643
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:51,039
Speaker 3: I was like, man, Hadeem is awesome. Now, what I

644
00:30:51,079 --> 00:30:53,160
will say is I do think to your point, like,

645
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,359
I don't know that.

646
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,759
Speaker 5: Hadeem can perfectly guard the one through the five, So

647
00:30:56,839 --> 00:30:59,680
I don't think this is like a permanent every game

648
00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:02,200
so this will always work that you can kind of

649
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:05,640
run a smaller five like this, But I do think

650
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,160
it will work in majority of situation.

651
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: Baylor is not nearly as long and as athletic as

652
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:16,039
as you of A or Houston h may you know,

653
00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:18,839
I always stay not as long, but they're they're super

654
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,599
duper athletic and quick, and they're like a bunch of

655
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,640
ferocious mongys. There, just a bunch of honey Badgers out

656
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,279
there playing defense. But like, so you'll have some issues there,

657
00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:31,640
Like you're gonna have some issues, but maybe maybe that

658
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,400
small ball lineup is the way to go, just because

659
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:36,480
they put forth the best effort. Look, Richie is not

660
00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:39,839
the biggest guy. He is so good at crashing the

661
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,720
glass and taking good angles and getting a hand on

662
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:45,599
the ball and you know, speaking of Dennis, little little

663
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,640
tips here and there and getting up quick and just

664
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:53,359
just keeping a half court set alive. Richie Man, Like

665
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,279
any ill advice shots to me from Richie, I'm like,

666
00:31:57,319 --> 00:31:59,160
I don't care, man, because he's putting in so much

667
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,519
effort the offensive glass to keep that freaking the set

668
00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:06,240
alive that I'm like, you know what, yeah, take another

669
00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:09,200
advice shot with you know, you know seconds or you know,

670
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:12,119
a minute remaining or whatever. You know, you have grace,

671
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,400
You have plenty of grace. In my mind, he reads

672
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,960
the ball coming off the rim so well, so well,

673
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:24,000
great vision, great, great acuity and anticipation and and his yeah,

674
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:27,400
his ability to like just understand where that ball is

675
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,839
coming off of the rim. That's it. It takes as

676
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:36,079
it's a special talent man tracking any ball, football, baseball, basketball,

677
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:42,039
that is a it's a it's an underrated skill set.

678
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:45,240
And I don't know if Richie played any baseball, but

679
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:50,640
typically like really good outfielders turned into like with some size,

680
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,880
pretty good rebounders as well, and good wide receivers too.

681
00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: Can defense to Ben because he knows how to go

682
00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:57,680
at vertical and not felt like my.

683
00:32:57,839 --> 00:33:00,319
Speaker 3: Goodness, Yeah, great defense to going up for Call. I

684
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:02,240
mean that was tremendous. That just goes to show just

685
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,759
is basketball like you, great basketball like you. All right,

686
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:07,440
let's get back to the sound here and the nady

687
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,000
gritty brought to you by Complete Circuit Electricomplete Circuit Electric

688
00:33:10,039 --> 00:33:12,400
youthah dot com. Then we'll take a brief time out. Coach,

689
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:15,200
what did you see on tape from Tonday? And U?

690
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 9: What?

691
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:18,359
Speaker 3: Uh? From what you saw in the game and some

692
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:20,920
of the issues he caused for the defense.

693
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 8: Well, he shot the ball extremely well. I mean he's

694
00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:26,559
ultra aggressive. You know, he's ultra aggressive with the great body.

695
00:33:28,119 --> 00:33:28,279
Speaker 3: You know.

696
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 8: I thought he's a little bit more explosive in person.

697
00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:32,839
Speaker 2: Than he is on a tape.

698
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,359
Speaker 8: It was a good It was fun watching some of

699
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,519
his plays along with the two the d I mean, yeah,

700
00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:40,480
I don't know, I'd have to someone would have to

701
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,000
tell me when the last time in a Big twelve

702
00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:44,519
game three guys had over thirty you know, some high

703
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:45,359
level stuff.

704
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: Going on with all three of them.

705
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 8: I thought AJ was unreal, you know, to have not

706
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,599
just the points with seven assists one turn and then

707
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,799
Rob just controlled the game. I thought, honestly, so yes

708
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,480
if it was answer. You know, it is a heavyweight,

709
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,880
heavyweight fight, and there was a lot of talent out there.

710
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean impressive with no doubt about it. You

711
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:11,559
see impressive guys every single game. Like I'm I'm kind

712
00:34:11,559 --> 00:34:17,880
of desensitized to the stardom. This the celebrity factor right now,

713
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,880
that's in the Big Twelve because I'm like, every day,

714
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,519
every game, every week, you're seeing another star that has

715
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,559
a career and I versus b Yu minis will continue.

716
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,679
It'll probably continue until we figure out what we're doing defensively,

717
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,719
you know. I I was asking the question to to

718
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:38,159
a few of my my friends during the game, like, look,

719
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:42,440
at what point do you feel like you go to

720
00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:47,199
more of a zone based scheme and just see what happens?

721
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Do we do we feel confident enough with the the

722
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Big twelve shooters to like just force them to to

723
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,519
to beat us on the perimeter. Do you think do

724
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,440
do we do that? Because we you can't stay in

725
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,079
front anybody and we're giving up ninety anyway.

726
00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:04,199
Speaker 2: I think in the second half, you throw a mixing

727
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:04,599
some zone.

728
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 4: But when the team starts to shoot that hot, if

729
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,760
you go that early and it doesn't work, you're over.

730
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,199
Like that's the basketball problem is you can't necessarily go

731
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,199
to zone when they're you know, hitting shots.

732
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,639
Speaker 2: You can and the people gonna say, no, we're on

733
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:16,960
you're wrong.

734
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 4: Okay, So what happens when they continue to hit him

735
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,639
and they break your zone and now you're in foul trouble.

736
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,239
You kind of want to save the zone of the

737
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,880
one three one till later, which they've done. But you

738
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,159
gotta just challenge these guys got to play better defense,

739
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:30,039
Like they got to step up. Like I get Cam

740
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:32,840
Carr as a camera car is a great guard bend.

741
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:35,079
But you gotta challenge guys to like get into the

742
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:37,320
body at the point of attack, you know, and not

743
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,320
foul like and I know that they're scared too because

744
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,519
they don't have like the depth to but like you

745
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,360
gotta tell Rob Canard and Richie Agent does a good job.

746
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 2: Like look how AJ plays defense.

747
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,559
Speaker 4: He gets into the body early, and he doesn't in

748
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:49,960
any he backs off, He doesn't put his guys have

749
00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:50,599
to do that.

750
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 2: And I know that they're not aged, but they're not

751
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,199
doing that. So you could go to zone. I agree

752
00:35:55,199 --> 00:35:56,480
with you. I think they should at times in the

753
00:35:56,519 --> 00:35:56,920
second half.

754
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: But if you go early to zone and you throw

755
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:01,679
that that justment and they still burn and they're burning

756
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:04,400
you in, you get in foul trouble. It's a bad recipe.

757
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,119
So I think that's why he's not doing it. But

758
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:07,480
at the end of the day, this is guys just

759
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:09,440
not getting into the body out think because look at

760
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,360
how Houston get up there, play defense and play without fouling.

761
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,119
Speaker 2: That is something they can do and they can control.

762
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,559
Speaker 3: Let's take a brief time out and we'll come back

Let's get back to some of the comments from this

872
00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:18,800
Cougar coaching staff and the players. We got to win

873
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,159
ninety nine ninety four over the Baylor Bears. They moved

874
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,960
eighteen and six and on the season and six and

875
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:29,079
five and big twelve play. Let's get to Rob right

876
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,440
who had a career night? Rob you guys force thirteen

877
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:36,440
turnovers y'all had? Y'all only had five? How did you

878
00:41:36,519 --> 00:41:41,000
guys prepare for Baylor defensively? And especially shout out to

879
00:41:41,039 --> 00:41:42,119
you for getting force steals.

880
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 9: We just came off in Houston, so they probably got

881
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,519
us ready, if I'm being honest.

882
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:49,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to that point.

883
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 8: I'll be back to have you know, eleven turnovers total

884
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,719
in our last two games, and we shot three in nineteen.

885
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,639
Speaker 3: And scored ninety nine points. That's crazy.

886
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 8: You know, aj was extremely efficient, rob of famely efficient

887
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,800
as well. And so you know, when when the three

888
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,519
start falling for us, I mean, that's the lid's gonna

889
00:42:06,519 --> 00:42:07,280
blow off this thing.

890
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: And when you don't turn it over to your.

891
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,159
Speaker 8: Point and all, all the all the more uh potent

892
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,079
that offense becomes.

893
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,519
Speaker 3: Did you feel like the three point shots came a

894
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:19,760
little bit easier because they were more open than they

895
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,599
have been in the past. Famber Time show the shots

896
00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:26,400
from Baylor, the shots from Buyu. Yeah, shot from Bayu.

897
00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 5: I honestly, I think they were open because Baylor didn't

898
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,719
think Bayu was gonna make that.

899
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 3: Well they didn't. I guess they shot what three of nineteen.

900
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:39,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's I mean, I Baylor said do it,

901
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,599
and the uoy you tried and it didn't go down

902
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:42,000
very well.

903
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 3: So obviously the two point game was much better. The

904
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,880
put points in the paint. What what led to that? Specifically?

905
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 5: Man, Honestly, I said, I said this tongue in cheek

906
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,800
to Ron the other day, and and Kevin Young must

907
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,320
have had a mic listening in because they went ahead

908
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,119
and did it tonight. But I told Ron, I was like, look,

909
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:03,119
I don't need them to run any offense, any set plays,

910
00:43:03,159 --> 00:43:03,480
any of that.

911
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:04,199
Speaker 3: Here's what you do.

912
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 5: You rebound, you outlet to AJ, and you score within

913
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,840
ten seconds of the shot clock. And for a lot

914
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,199
of the game last night, it was AJ or Rob

915
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,159
or Richie. Hey, get the ball off the glass and

916
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:17,800
get it to the other end as soon as possible.

917
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,960
Don't let Baylor set up and just drive to the basket.

918
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,920
And Rob and AJ killed it at that, So they

919
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,480
didn't need the three point shot to work. Obviously it didn't,

920
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,880
but I do I don't know that it'll work that

921
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:33,400
well against everyone. But I do think it's just so

922
00:43:33,679 --> 00:43:35,920
tough to guard AJ if you're not ready for it,

923
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,320
and when AJ gets you one on one and you

924
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,320
don't have help, you're you're cooked. I think if they

925
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,599
can find ways to implement that more into the game,

926
00:43:44,639 --> 00:43:46,840
I think they'll find more success in the paint.

927
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: Would love to see it then they could. I mean, look,

928
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:51,280
they had like, what sixty four points in the paint,

929
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,360
so you wanted to Ronald the three man weaver. Is

930
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,639
this team who has been hucking up threes all season

931
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,440
long trying to find their groove? Are they gonna start

932
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,920
trying to get you know, a little bit more grittier,

933
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,800
a little bit more physical, and try to get as

934
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,400
many points in the paint as possible and get to

935
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,400
the free throwing Can our Davis finally got to the

936
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,159
free throw line? I mean he's been hucking up threes

937
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:17,079
all season long and hasn't been hitting him. He's below

938
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:19,480
thirty percent. You wonder if things are going to change

939
00:44:19,519 --> 00:44:22,320
in their mentality and the type of shots, the shots

940
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,880
they're going to be getting in their offensive sets.

941
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,119
Speaker 4: Look, Ben, I think the difference of because they've always

942
00:44:30,119 --> 00:44:31,679
been senting for it the glass offensively.

943
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:33,199
Speaker 2: I don't want people to think like, oh, they're doing

944
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:33,760
something brand new.

945
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,639
Speaker 4: No, they always do it. It worked yesterday one because

946
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:39,400
they were able to push in transitions so well and

947
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,719
Baylor was tired. When you're able to really get easy

948
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,280
points in transition, Ben, when you don't have a secondary

949
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,960
ball handler.

950
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,119
Speaker 2: I was preaching this a little bit last week. That

951
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:47,719
helps a lot.

952
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 4: So I think because of their ability to do that,

953
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,920
and that Baylor was trying to play catchup and when

954
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,840
they were to get inside the point and aj being

955
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,360
aggressive Rob Richie. When you're able to get to the

956
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,400
basket and you're doing both of those and you're getting

957
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,280
offensive rebounds, now what happens is they try to collapse,

958
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,079
so you get those open looks and those opportunities. So

959
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:04,760
I think you're gonna continue to see this. I think

960
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,440
they're gonna try to outscore people in the paint. They're

961
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,000
gonna try to push when they get a rebound and

962
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:12,519
transition as fast as possible to get better looks at three. Now, look,

963
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:15,480
it didn't work on Tuesday, it didn't work yesterday Tuesday night.

964
00:45:15,559 --> 00:45:18,280
But I think it will work on Saturday against Colorado.

965
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:19,480
I think the same thing you saw. I think they're

966
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,719
gonna do the same thing on Saturday. And small ball

967
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,039
bin allows you to shoot more threes. They just didn't fall, unfortunately,

968
00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:28,559
But I expected to be different on Saturday, especially because

969
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,760
you got a little, you know, a little certain someone.

970
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,920
There's a special guy that's gonna be in the building

971
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,400
on Saturday. It kind of is a three point specialist

972
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,360
in my opinion. I look, I don't know what. I

973
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,559
don't want to I'm prone to I probably a little bit.

974
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:42,320
I don't want to say that they'll make a lot

975
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,000
of threes, but I think you could see Bay you

976
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,480
make ten threes on Saturday and I can't remember the

977
00:45:46,559 --> 00:45:47,840
last time they've made that this season.

978
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,559
Speaker 3: Let's get back to it, Rob, right the third, Rob,

979
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,679
just talk a little bit about the comeback, the return

980
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,599
to Waco. What were your emotions like heading into this game.

981
00:45:59,199 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 9: Honestly, I just want to get a win. I mean,

982
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,800
coming here for shoot around, I didn't really feel nothing

983
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,159
when we came out to warm up. Fucked the little

984
00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:07,960
emotions seeing some of the managers and coaches that coached

985
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,159
me here. So I'm just glad that I gotta win,

986
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,000
if I'm being honest, And it was good to see

987
00:46:12,039 --> 00:46:12,559
some faces.

988
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: Did you sense that Rob brought his a game in

989
00:46:17,079 --> 00:46:19,159
this in this particular game, I mean he was breaking

990
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,639
up and he had it.

991
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:21,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

992
00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:24,039
Speaker 3: So, like Beag's the question, like once again, like we

993
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,039
were seeing finally a sense of urgency from this team.

994
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,840
Were they coasting a little bit early onto the season.

995
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,360
Were they coasting through midseason?

996
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 5: No? I also, like, I do think it's important that

997
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,280
we understand the defense that you faced against Baylor is

998
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,039
not the same defense that you faced against Arizona and

999
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:44,119
against Houston and Texas.

1000
00:46:44,159 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 3: Second, then all of a sudden they decided to show

1001
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:46,920
up against Baylor like this.

1002
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,639
Speaker 5: It was easier for them to get buckets last night,

1003
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,599
not that the game was easy and the win is

1004
00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:52,280
a big deal.

1005
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't think they've been coasting.

1006
00:46:54,639 --> 00:46:57,159
Speaker 5: I think, truly the schedule has just been a bear,

1007
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:59,320
and they got stuck in a bad spot of it,

1008
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,480
and I think it's some point it became mental to them.

1009
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm glad they got out of the funk against Baylor

1010
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,239
last night. Yeah, Ronnie, your thoughts on that. Do you

1011
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,559
think they were coasting a bit and we're seeing kind

1012
00:47:08,599 --> 00:47:11,159
of like a sense of urgency now or is it

1013
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,679
just the product of the schedule.

1014
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 4: I don't think they were coasting, but I think they

1015
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,159
expected with the talent to that they wouldn't lose.

1016
00:47:17,639 --> 00:47:19,079
Speaker 2: I think maybe over confident, because you.

1017
00:47:19,039 --> 00:47:22,559
Speaker 4: Can't be a yeah exactly like lacks of days ago,

1018
00:47:22,639 --> 00:47:24,280
like oh, we're gonna win this game and then a

1019
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,280
team punches you like.

1020
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh shoot, wait a second, I gotta actually run faster.

1021
00:47:27,599 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 3: Like you know.

1022
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,639
Speaker 2: I think that's what it was, you know, in some

1023
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,599
of these games. I don't think they're being lazy.

1024
00:47:31,679 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 4: I think they thought that, oh, if they go out there,

1025
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,719
you know and just do no, sometimes you have to

1026
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,000
like clapp in a guy's face, Hey, get right, like

1027
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:39,199
you have to wake up a little bit.

1028
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 2: I think they were having some of those mumbles.

1029
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 4: But then again, Brett pointed out yesterday they played what

1030
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,519
how many Texas Tech, Kansas, Houston?

1031
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 2: Come on? Man, like Arizona?

1032
00:47:48,639 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 4: Who else in the big twelve played that schedule eight

1033
00:47:51,199 --> 00:47:53,920
in that stretch? Now Kansas is about to do it.

1034
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,800
But like that, that's the point, Like they played four

1035
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,760
ring teams in the top ten, top five, you know,

1036
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,239
and how much of a span you know, six games.

1037
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,519
Speaker 2: That's tough. So and you have to bring your a game.

1038
00:48:03,559 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: You can't like kevy into the margin fair when you're

1039
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,880
playing four of the top teams in the country. Ben

1040
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,679
is like zero second to none, and you know when

1041
00:48:11,679 --> 00:48:13,280
you have them, they're able to do it. But look,

1042
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:14,760
maybe this is the time that they get right.

1043
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,199
Speaker 3: Aj it felt like you and Towady were going at

1044
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,920
each other one on one. Were you prepared for that

1045
00:48:23,159 --> 00:48:26,559
matchup and coming in with a little extra action in

1046
00:48:26,679 --> 00:48:27,280
this game.

1047
00:48:29,079 --> 00:48:31,519
Speaker 6: I came in just because I wanted to get ribbed

1048
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:33,440
and win. Just how we got, you know, the win

1049
00:48:33,559 --> 00:48:36,400
for Kaba and Richie down there in Utah and at home.

1050
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,039
It was kind of just the same thing, you know,

1051
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:40,440
coming with a little extra when you know guys haven't

1052
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,199
or guys coming from old schools, but not I'm into

1053
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,239
it for some time. McDonald's a American teammate with his competitors,

1054
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,519
so we weren't at each other, and I probably see him.

1055
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,679
I will see him at the next level for sure, be.

1056
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,559
Speaker 3: Seeing them in the NBA, no doubt. Aj. It was

1057
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,000
really effishing game from you, fourteen to twenty for the field.

1058
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:02,559
How much was the losing streak on your mind tonight?

1059
00:49:03,679 --> 00:49:04,599
Speaker 2: I mean it was everything.

1060
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 6: Like like you said, I didn't expect to drop four straight,

1061
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,519
but I mean, you gota to do with adversity. It

1062
00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:10,800
makes us stronger. So this is a must win for us.

1063
00:49:11,159 --> 00:49:12,800
Didn't want to come out here under five hundred and

1064
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,599
the Big twelve.

1065
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,199
Speaker 3: Can't have it. Man, you got to be above five hundred.

1066
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,480
You know, I think at worst Bay will be right

1067
00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:21,320
at five hundred and the big twelve when the season ends. AJ,

1068
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,039
I'm not sure if you heard the amount of booze

1069
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:27,960
that went Robert rob right the third's way, what does

1070
00:49:28,039 --> 00:49:31,239
that do to your mindset? His teammates knowing that if

1071
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,440
you swing it to the top of the key, there's

1072
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,639
going to be a lot of noise. I don't even

1073
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,840
know he was getting booed.

1074
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,679
Speaker 2: I just really tried to get him going early.

1075
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 6: So, I mean, I knew they were kind of still

1076
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,840
good at boo but if you get him going early

1077
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,760
and then you know the science, the crowd's a good feeling.

1078
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 3: So I to try to do that. Look and AJ

1079
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,239
he had seven assist guys. I mean, we know AJ

1080
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,440
can be a distributor. He's a he's a playmaker for others.

1081
00:49:57,519 --> 00:50:00,440
And that's one of the reasons why you love AJ.

1082
00:50:00,679 --> 00:50:03,840
Because number One, he's putting in the minutes. He's not

1083
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,199
sitting out, he's not DNP. He brings a competitive nature

1084
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:13,280
to every single game, and he's a full fledged basketball player.

1085
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,199
Plays defense. He's gotten better and better on the defensive end,

1086
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,280
I think, and he's distributing the basketball at a high level.

1087
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,280
So right now, aj trending in the right direction with

1088
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:27,639
points production, his efficiency, his defensive effort, and I would

1089
00:50:27,679 --> 00:50:31,079
say his distribution ability. Kevin, last thing here, you took

1090
00:50:31,159 --> 00:50:33,440
two timeouts in the first half. What did you do

1091
00:50:33,559 --> 00:50:36,679
to adjust and do you think your guys played better

1092
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,400
defense defensively than a week ago?

1093
00:50:40,039 --> 00:50:43,559
Speaker 8: Yes, our defense is better, Uh no, not by much,

1094
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,199
but it was better. The reason, yeah, we called the

1095
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,639
timeouts to make sure we had the right groupings in there.

1096
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,360
You know, the subject wildly different tonight than I have

1097
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,039
for most of the season. You know, Hadeem came in

1098
00:50:56,119 --> 00:50:58,000
and played the five, you know, like him out there

1099
00:50:58,039 --> 00:51:00,559
to be able to switch one through five. I thought

1100
00:51:00,599 --> 00:51:03,079
that put them in mud a little bit and you know,

1101
00:51:03,199 --> 00:51:05,320
really helped us. So that's where those two timeouts are going.

1102
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,239
But also, man, you know, I'm you know, I learned

1103
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,719
too like a Texas tech, I probably held onto too

1104
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,840
many timeouts in the first half. It's probably you know,

1105
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,039
on the road, it's a little bit different, So try

1106
00:51:15,079 --> 00:51:16,559
to use them a little bit earlier to try to

1107
00:51:16,639 --> 00:51:18,320
settle our group. And I thought it, you know, I

1108
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,960
thought it paid off in the first half to be

1109
00:51:20,039 --> 00:51:23,039
able to kind of whether they're initial onslaught where they

1110
00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:24,400
were felt like they were hitting.

1111
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:30,119
Speaker 3: Every shot they go. That's ky post game BYU versus Baylor.

1112
00:51:30,639 --> 00:51:32,400
It's great to get the monkey off the back right

1113
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:37,039
and BYU has some formidable foes left on the schedule,

1114
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:39,960
There's no doubt about it. But look that that was

1115
00:51:40,039 --> 00:51:43,280
a great win for BYU in so many ways. It's

1116
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,000
a quad one win on the road versus a good

1117
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,639
basketball team, in my opinion, a great basketball team, but

1118
00:51:48,679 --> 00:51:50,760
a good basketball team. Let's take a time out, we'll

1119
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,480
come back with it. Let's talk about stats. Segment, don't

1120
00:51:53,519 --> 00:51:55,320
