show for he is always. We're gonna be celebrating the

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,040
victory over the TC horn Frogs. It's beautifully ugly. No

19
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:09,920
matter how you win, a win is a win is

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,879
a win, and a good team a great team.

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: Has to figure out multiple ways to win.

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,159
Speaker 3: When guys are out, when guys are injured, when guys

23
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:20,200
are a little bit sickly when your stars just aren't

24
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:26,799
getting buckets. They lacked efficiency, they weren't in the groove.

25
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:29,000
But we know that this team is a second half

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,879
team and they were gritty. I feel like AJ deserves

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,719
a ton credit for just how gritty and competitive he is.

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,359
Sustained a right shoulder injury in this game, and you

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,959
know that can be pretty devastating. Somehow found a way

30
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:50,760
to push through that, didn't even pull himself out of

31
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:56,280
the game. So I like this team a lot, and

32
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:01,719
I think this team, although you know, there are frustrating

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,799
elements about this team, whether it's uh, you know, I

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,599
don't know what you're most frustrated by. Maybe it was

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,840
the rest last night. Maybe it was the fact that

36
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,120
that that by you just couldn't buy a bucket. They did,

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,960
they didn't shoot the ball all that efficiently, but they

38
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,759
somehow found a way to win. So you gotta celebrate that.

39
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:22,960
We're gonna delve into all the knicks and credits, all

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,719

us for this Thursday, January fifteenth edition of Cougar Sports.

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Behind the Glass up in Salt Lake City. It was

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,159
down at the BYU basketball game and covering fish gritty,

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,199
beautifully ugly win over the TC horn frogt Let's welcome

68
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,199
in Ronald the three man weaver to the show was up, Ronnie.

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,039
Speaker 5: Ben, how are we doing it?

70
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 6: I was, I was live president down there at the

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,759
Marriott Centers nine pm.

72
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: Timpball Lake Timpoff got the bedleid.

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,639
Speaker 6: That's just how it is when you work in the

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,159
field of sports. But it was a great opportunity for

75
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:54,319
by to pick up a gut check win. Per Kevin

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Young in the post game. Look, Ben, I'm gonna give

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
TC a lot of credit. Derek top six defensive team

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,719
in the Big twelve. So I want to give the

79
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,759
horn Frogs credit. They made that tough for BYU. It

80
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,000
wasn't just BYU struggles. They did some good things last night.

81
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,080
But that's good to get tested because I think their

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,840
biggest test is gonna come on Saturday. Is now they

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,400
turn their attention to Texas Tech. They haven't beaten them

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,279
since they've been in this conference. But you need a

85
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,000
good type of win like that with people under the

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
weather being down a body or two.

87
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 5: I think that all helps the team at the end

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,120
of the day.

89
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: I love the breakdown.

90
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: Let's also welcome in Hammertime show Brett always bringing the

91
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:28,279
hammer Hammer Time.

92
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,199
Speaker 4: How you feel about them? Koog's right now.

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,079
Speaker 7: Look, I love Kevin Young, I love aj De Bonsa,

94
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:38,560
I love BOU basketball. I don't love nine o'clock tips.

95
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,639
I'm I'm just being real with the people. And look,

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,519
I'll stay up to do it. I'll stay up to

97
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,199
put out the content that the people want. But I'll

98
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:47,639
tell you what, man, By the time I got in

99
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,240
bed yesterday and it felt like the longest day ever,

100
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,439
Like get home and we're sitting there kind of waiting

101
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:56,160
for the game to start, and it doesn't start until nine.

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,399
And then they got pushed back because of the I

103
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:01,519
think it was Texas Vanderbilt, right or even though somehow

104
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,040
Vanderbilt jumped to BEOU in the polls, just for Vanderbilt

105
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:06,399
to loose to unranked Texas A different story for a

106
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:09,879
different segment. But uh yeah, when that thing was over,

107
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,040
I was I was ready to go to bed.

108
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,439
Speaker 4: And obviously I'm putting out content. Ron's putting out content.

109
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 7: We're all still working So I love BOU basketball, don't love.

110
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: Nine o'clock tips.

111
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 7: But you know what, if it means that by you

112
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,279
gotta win, it's worth it.

113
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,759
Speaker 3: What were you most frustrated with last night during the

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,879
bo U TCU game? Was it the first half inefficiencies?

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,720
Was it the zebras, the reps? Was it the nine

116
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:33,680
pm tip off?

117
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,879
Speaker 4: With it? Something else? That is what got your goat?

118
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: What got your te o't what's got you in a

119
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:42,199
bad mood last night?

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 7: I honestly didn't feel like the officiating was atrocious.

121
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,439
Speaker 4: I honestly thought it was worse in the Utah game.

122
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:57,439
Speaker 7: But if you do it quantitatively, you had guys closer

123
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,759
to fouling out in the game against TCU than you

124
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,879
did in the game against Utah. And I think, like connotatively,

125
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:06,240
it's just like it looks worse in the Utah game.

126
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,639
Speaker 4: A because it's the rivalry game. B because Tony Padilla.

127
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:11,399
Speaker 7: Happened to be in the building, Like I think had

128
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:13,480
Tony be but yeah, been in the building last night.

129
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 4: I think they were in a riot in the city

130
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:15,920
of Provo.

131
00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 7: So I I mean it was unfortunate that Keba and

132
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,480
Richie put up so many fouls I guess and were playing.

133
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,240
I think they both had four fouls in the final

134
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,000
five minutes, and the fact that neither one of them

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,199
fouled out, I think speaks a lot to just how

136
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,800
talented those guys are. But I also think you have

137
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:36,600
to keep in mind that BYU's rotation was even smaller

138
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:40,839
than usual because you had Beato, because you had Zavian out.

139
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,079
Because of all the guys who were out, more guys

140
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:46,120
had to play more minutes, and I think that just

141
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,560
got some guys in trouble, so the rest probably.

142
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: I'm probably in the minority on that.

143
00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people were upset with the

144
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:53,560
officiating last night.

145
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:54,879
Speaker 4: I wasn't.

146
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,399
Speaker 7: I honestly am not that upset with the game from

147
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:00,639
last night. I don't have that many gripes. I think

148
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:07,040
last night was an example of what happens when teams say, hey,

149
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,560
we're gonna do everything to make your big three not

150
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,800
be able to beat us. Now the big three still

151
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,120
showed up at the end. I don't think last night

152
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,160
was a bad game. I think TCU just played good defense.

153
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,759
Speaker 3: Ronald the three man Weaver, what were you most frustrated

154
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,439
with last night?

155
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:21,839
Speaker 4: And why?

156
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

157
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: When I look at this one with Brett Benny, And

158
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:27,920
look I did put this out there right covering the games.

159
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,839
I did get frustrated at a moment with the officiating,

160
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,160
like the stretch, because to me, basketball is a game

161
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,759
of momentum. It killed the momentum for BAU at times,

162
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,199
but it wasn't the whole thing. So if people feel

163
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:40,560
that I felt the way because I was saying some

164
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,360
things and said I didn't like this stretch of officiating,

165
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:44,120
not as a whole.

166
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 5: You know why, because the numbers back it up.

167
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:47,959
Speaker 6: When you shoot twenty nine free throws, you can't really

168
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:49,319
say the officials were a problem.

169
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: You can't. That's just that's that's a lie per the numbers.

170
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 6: But I will say this, I was more upset at

171
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,000
player execution and in coaching staff because at some point,

172
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,519
and I mean it's in the nicest way, and this

173
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,839
is noticing basketball. Tanner Tuilson was in the game, good

174
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:10,000
basketball player, But when the entire roster has assists, fouls

175
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,199
and he only has five points and nothing else, I

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,839
felt like they did not attack him defensively, then maybe

177
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:17,279
they needed to. TC did a good job of hiding him.

178
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:19,519
I know he guarded aj I know ITJ wasn't feeling well,

179
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:23,639
but I felt schematically at times the execution wasn't there

180
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:25,759
for the players. And then what I wanted to see

181
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:27,759
from the coaches was to a target and go at

182
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,360
certain guys on the TC roster, which they did down

183
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:33,159
the stretch, but that was I think what was more frustrating,

184
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,600
because when I see Rob pushing transition and throw the

185
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,919
ball over Cape's head as they're on a run, that's

186
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480
not coaching staff, that's player execution. So to me, I

187
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,879
would go players first and guys not stepping up maybe

188
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:45,279
when they needed to, and then the second half coaches

189
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,279
schematically needing to attack certain players. I don't think the

190
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,759
officials had anything to do with it. I felt by

191
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,200
you just put themselves in bad situations and officials aren't

192
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,519
going to help you out. But when you shoot twenty

193
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,840
nine free throws, that's not officiating in my opinion.

194
00:08:58,799 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: Thank goodness BYU.

195
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: You can find a way to win when you are

196
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,159
out shot out efficiencied if that's even a word. I mean,

197
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,679
they really like you didn't win this game. From a

198
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:12,120
shooting standpoint, I guess you can say the twenty nine

199
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:14,440
free throws, yes, because you were at seventy nine percent

200
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,399
from the charity stripe. That was nice, That was glorious,

201
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,639
That was wonderful. It is hard to blame Zebras right

202
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:23,840
when you when you get to the line twenty nine times,

203
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:25,679
and I feel like they called it If you want

204
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,159
to say they called it bad, I think they called

205
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:28,080
it bad both ways.

206
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: I don't feel like calls went in favor of one

207
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,960
team or the other. Yeah, you know.

208
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: To me, I like, I think the most frustrating thing,

209
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,279
like it's and it's not the favorite in my poll.

210
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:40,240
To me, it's just like when are we going to

211
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:41,919
figure out how to play a first half?

212
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,879
Speaker 4: Like to me, it's like.

213
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: We are down or or tied during are these first

214
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:53,720
half runs all season long?

215
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 4: And I really can't.

216
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,639
Speaker 3: I can't think of any time where I came away

217
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,360
from a first half and like, man, we are dialed today,

218
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:05,440
we are we are thriving today, we are game plans

219
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,679
working out in the first half. Imagine what this BYU

220
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,039
basketball team could be if we put two halves together.

221
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying.

222
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,879
Speaker 3: Refs are gonna ref and sometimes shots will fall, sometimes

223
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,720
they won't.

224
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 4: You got plenty of looks that you liked.

225
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:24,279
Speaker 3: I just would like to see a little bit more

226
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:25,840
efficiency in the in the first half.

227
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 4: That's it.

228
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: I would love to see it. That's what I'm most

229
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
frustrated by. But guys, we're gonna delve into this. We'll

Speaker 3: You know, he he struggled a lot in the first half,

236
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,279

hundred zero eight eight five. All right, So what happened

283
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:29,240
in this BYU men's basketball game? Well, number eleven basketball

284
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,000
was led by aj Debonsis twenty five points as they

285
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
took down TCU seventy six to seventy on Winston Night

286
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,639
at the Marias Center.

287
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,519
Speaker 4: After trailing thirty six to thirty at the break.

288
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: BYU several dominant second half runs and a thirteen second

289
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:46,679
chance thirteen second chance points to secure a six point victory.

290
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: Offensive rebounding has been a boon.

291
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: For BYU in these beautifully ugly games where you're trying

292
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,120
to figure out creative ways to win, and second half

293
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,360
point or second chance points have been I think one

294
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:06,000
of the biggest benefit benefits of this b YU men's

295
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:08,320
basketball team. De Bonsa finished with twenty five points, as

296
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,480
I mentioned, seventeen from the second half, so second half

297
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,120
team continues to be the theme for this Cougar basketball team.

298
00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:18,120
Along with six rebounds one assists, the freshman also went

299
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,559
seven to seven from the free throw line.

300
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: That's that's nice to be perfect from the line.

301
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: As I mentioned, ba as a team was at about

302
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,480
eighty percent shooting at an eighty percent clip from the

303
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:32,720
charity stripe. His twenty five points move him past Devin

304
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:35,919
Durant and Eric Mika to the number nine overall spot

305
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,000
on the freshman all time scoring list for BYU men's basketball.

306
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,000
Does he become the number one all time freshman score

307
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:47,600
It seems like it's trending that way. He's gonna have

308
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:50,159
to continue to produce, but it seems like it's trending

309
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:53,080
that way. Richie Saunders went nine of eleven from the

310
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,799
charity stripe, totaling eighteen point, six rebounds and one assists.

311
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,879
Robert rob Right third added fifteen points and six rebounds

312
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,200
as well as six assists. Keviketa contributed ten rebounds, seven points,

313
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,799
three blocks to assists in one steal. And then Mihailo

314
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,120
Boskovic and Hadim Boop combined for twelve rebounds off the bench.

315
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,759
While baout rebound at TCHU fifty one to thirty six

316
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,159
and outstole them five to three. The horn Frogs outshot

317
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,320
the Kougs forty one to thirty five percent and out

318
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,399
assisted sixteen to eleven. Let's get the commentary from Ky

319
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:27,960
postgame and get into this. Richie got his fourth foul

320
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:31,320
early in the second half. Then Aj scored seventeen points

321
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,399
in eight minutes. Was anything said to him to inspire him?

322
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 4: What was that like? Watching him take over the game?

323
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:41,519
Speaker 9: Yeah?

324
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,519
Speaker 10: Now means a gut check type win for our group.

325
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,039
You know, it felt like anything that could go wrong

326
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,960
would go wrong. I felt like our whole team at

327
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,200
four fouls, dot AJ was going to die out there,

328
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,200
and they just found a way to.

329
00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 9: Make place.

330
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:58,519
Speaker 10: You know, he's obviously a great player. You know, we

331
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,759
needed him, and he stepped up. And then Richie, you know,

332
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,559
not being his night, hits that huge three also got

333
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,399
a couple Richie style offensive rebounds that helped.

334
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,679
Speaker 3: So Richie always is on the glass man, That's why

335
00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:15,320
you keep him on the floor. That plus mind is

336
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:17,519
always in the plus with Richie, even when he's not

337
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,559
hitting shots from the outside. So one thing I was

338
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:23,679
talking to a number of individuals today about AJ.

339
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: I feel like.

340
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: The best quality of AJ is not necessarily his his length,

341
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,399
his athleticism, his skill set, his polished scoring ability, all

342
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,720
that matters, Like all of that matters. The clay is amazing,

343
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,360
the amount of work that he's put in his meeting.

344
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:47,519
To me, it's the gritty like competitive mindset that he has.

345
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,879
Speaker 4: Like not everyone is competitive, guys.

346
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: There's two types of competitors too, those that like to

347
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:59,240
win and those that hate to lose. AJ hates to lose.

348
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,440
Most of us just like to win. Let's be honest.

349
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:05,000
We just like to win.

350
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:05,759
Speaker 4: It's fun to win.

351
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: It's fun to do things that we're good at, and

352
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,200
we like to win. It's fun, not everybody. Very few

353
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:19,039
people hate of whore cannot live with losses. It keeps

354
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:21,680
them up at night, it makes them angry. They're not

355
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:27,559
fun to be around. Like they're special humans and they

356
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:34,240
hate to lose mentality. It works in sports, it doesn't

357
00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:37,559
always work in like business, because you have to create synergies.

358
00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:40,279
Whether you're in the corporate America or entrepreneur like, you

359
00:17:40,319 --> 00:17:41,960
have to create synergies. And even when you lose, stay

360
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,759
positive rights, stay positive, stay positives, stay positive, keep everyone

361
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:49,519
bought in, body in. But like dude, AJ hates to lose,

362
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,160
suffers the shoulder injury, doesn't want to take himself out.

363
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 4: I think that's his best quality. I really do.

364
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,839
Speaker 3: So when we're talking about Darren Peterson versus AJ to Bonsa,

365
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,839
I'm looking at who's injured and who has grit, competitive fire,

366
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,079
and who's willing to go out there and play this

367
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,079
fight injury and find a way to win, find a

368
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,240
way to take over the game. That's why I think

369
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:16,200
AJ's the best player in this next year's NBA draft.

370
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,640
And everyone's gonna say, well, what about the efficiency, what

371
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,519
about plus and minus? What about Darren Peterson? Darren Peters's

372
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:24,799
such a score he looks like he's at eighty percent.

373
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:27,359
Everyone's at one hundred percent. He can just get anywhere

374
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,319
on the floor and score at will, all those things,

375
00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:32,519
and I'm like, look to me the competitive fire of AJ.

376
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 4: Trump's Darren Peterson.

377
00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: If I'm an organization in the National Basketball Association, if

378
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:42,599
I got the number one overall pick, I'm taking AJ

379
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:45,319
because of the work ethic, but also because of the

380
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:53,039
gritty competitive Mamba MJ mentality. I see what I saw

381
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,640
in Kobe and MJ in AJ.

382
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 4: That's what I see. I'm seeing the competitive mindset.

383
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm seeing the due diligence to put in the

384
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,839
work necessary.

385
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 4: Like Lebron has superb work ethic, but he's not a killer.

386
00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: Lebron is one of the greatest, if not the most

387
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,039
physically gifted basketball players ever to play the game.

388
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 4: No one's gonna he's from a skill set.

389
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,279
Speaker 3: Athletics say he's like a combo of like Shack, and

390
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,559
he's a combo of KG and Kobe and Magic Johnson.

391
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,240
His ability to destrip at the basketball like he's a freak,

392
00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:38,079
but he's not a killer.

393
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:39,839
Speaker 4: He's a flopper.

394
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: He's weak, like he doesn't like the physicality of the

395
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:48,440
game necessary because he's always been the biggest. Anyway, I

396
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,319
see a special thing in AJ and that needs to

397
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:52,119
be celebrated.

398
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 4: Let's get back to it.

399
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: Ky rebounding seemed to be a bigger difference in the

400
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,160
second half. Was that a conservative effort or a message

401
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,799
at halftime?

402
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,799
Speaker 9: Now, it's been a message.

403
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 10: Since I got here a year and a half ago,

404
00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:12,160
and it's been a constant message in the last week.

405
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,279
You know, Mike Tomlin, who I have a lot of

406
00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:19,480
respect for, said something after their playoff loss the other day,

407
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:25,279
and obviously just step down. But I love guys like

408
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,839
him because they say, how it is, you either do

409
00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:28,559
or you don't.

410
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 9: Was his message, either do or you don't.

411
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 10: There's people that do in life, they are successful, and

412
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,480
the people that don't aren't.

413
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 9: And so, like, I don't really.

414
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 10: Go philosophical too much on you guys, but like, that

415
00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:43,359
really struck me. And so I'm getting tired with really

416
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,640
getting tired of talking about any followed up by saying

417
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,680
there's too much talking in our business, and so I'm

418
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,680
getting tired of talking about rebounding. Usually, you know, defensively

419
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:55,799
we talk about it, but offensive we talk about a nauseum.

420
00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:59,440
And so tonight we had twenty one offensive rebounds. You know,

421
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,160
that's how you sustain shooting thirty five percent from the field.

422
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:04,279
Speaker 9: You know, we had.

423
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 10: Plus seven on field goal attempts, plus eleven on free

424
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,680
throw attempts.

425
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 9: You know, that's how you're able to stay in a

426
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,559
night like that.

427
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 10: Where not every night's going to be your night on

428
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,359
the offensive end. So you got to find different ways,

429
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,799
you know, to win the ball game. And I thought

430
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,039
our guys, I told them they should have confidence because

431
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:24,000
we can win a lot of different ways. And you know,

432
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:26,559
that's a tough team. Coach Dixon is a great coach

433
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,920
and hit. They just play really hard, and so that

434
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,759
was a dog fight.

435
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 9: Man.

436
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 10: I'm just proud of the guys for pulling it out

437
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,319
because of the rebound.

438
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 4: I'll be honest.

439
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:38,799
Speaker 3: You know, there's a couple of things I want to

440
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:42,119
take away here. All you Star Wars fans are just

441
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,039
loving that do or or not there is no try,

442
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:46,759
either you do or you don't. You know that brings

443
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:50,400
true obviously to everyone in the that it's played sports.

444
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:54,079
You got to get it done and and be way

445
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,960
You've haund a way to get it done. Awesome, you know,

446
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,039
towards the end is I was kind of listening to

447
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:04,799
you know, Khy close out those comments. It just made

448
00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:06,880
me think about, you know, this collective team and this

449
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:14,400
culture that he's built and who he's attracted strategically with personalities,

450
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:17,039
guys that want to buy in and do the dirty work.

451
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,440
And that's special in the transfer portal era, that's not

452
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,240
an easy thing to do. Why because when you when

453
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,240
you include so much money and prestige, and everybody wants

454
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:28,960
like to be featured and wants to be highlighted.

455
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,079
Speaker 4: Ego Ego.

456
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: Ego is at the forefront of a lot of these

457
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,119
acquisitions via the portal. It's hard to find buying just

458
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,000
is and culture is winning out too on this basketball team.

459
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:39,559
Speaker 4: So I love that.

460
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: Let's get to number three, coach. You guys go down

461
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,200
nine in the second half. Was there a definitive moment

462
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,880
where the momentum shifted back in your favor?

463
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,839
Speaker 10: I have to I'm have to watch the film to

464
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,119
really give you a great answer on that. So I

465
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,319
don't know definitive, but I thought, you know, the execution

466
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,920
of that full court play where Rob got all the way,

467
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,960
I got fouled right before halftime. I thought that was

468
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,839
big to give us a little bit of momentum, cut

469
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:13,000
the lead a little bit. So I'd probably say that

470
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,039
for me without watching the tape.

471
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:18,079
Speaker 4: Without watching the tape, that's what he said.

472
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,559
Speaker 3: Guys, your thoughts, your commentary, anything stand out to you,

473
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,400
Ronald the three man weaver than Brett.

474
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 4: And then I'll bring up the caboos.

475
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:28,079
Speaker 6: I really don't know if there was a defining moment.

476
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,839
I just thought, to me, Ben, this is very simple,

477
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,319
like having played in a college game before, I don't

478
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,640
know where a thing shift that. Yes, you can say

479
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,319
the Rob thing at the end, and to be honest

480
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:41,759
to talk about that play, it look like Rob got

481
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:43,680
rolled up on two because he was limping, and I

482
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,000
was like, you can't have.

483
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: Rob or I get hurt. You really just can't have that.

484
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,519
Speaker 6: But to me, no, I just thought, if anything, it

485
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:53,279
was just I think it was AJ's mentality of like

486
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,720
you said, I'm not gonna lose this game, and I

487
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:58,160
think sometimes look mentality, people can say what they want.

488
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: There's trash talking and sport.

489
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 6: There is a guy that's better than you, but there's

490
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,480
a guy that is like give me the dang ball.

491
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:06,720
I'll say that because their kids listening to this program

492
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,279
and get the you know what out my way and

493
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:09,039
I'm gonna go to work.

494
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 5: And I felt like AJ did that.

495
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 6: I mean, if he doesn't score been seventeen of twenty

496
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,119
five points in the first half in an eight minute stretch,

497
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,359
he doesn't do that, they don't win that game. I mean,

498
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,839
you could talk about the free throws they left, you

499
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:21,039
could talk about Richie getting in foul trouble. I don't

500
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,160
feel like there was a defining moment because even with

501
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,759
the officiating being up and down, I felt like BYU

502
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,119
just say, you know what, We're gonna play our game.

503
00:24:28,319 --> 00:24:31,480
We're gonna rebound, we're gonna block shots, we're gonna have

504
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,319
a mentality of like, we're not letting you beat us.

505
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,279
And sometimes as that does carry you because this team

506
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,759
is already talented enough. So as I really think about

507
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:39,160
that question, I was really trying to give you a

508
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,400
best answer. I don't think it was anything in particular.

509
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,279
I just thought it was their will of we're not

510
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,279
losing the TCU and AJ's ability to be like I'm

511
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:47,920
gonna put the ball in the basket and I dare

512
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,759
somebody to stop me, and you could argue that AJ

513
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,200
had his flu game type moment.

514
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: Look, I mean, as a media member, we're all trying

515
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,960
to figure out, Okay, what did you say?

516
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,759
Speaker 4: Coach? Who said what? Who inspired?

517
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,599
Speaker 5: Nothing? Really?

518
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,839
Speaker 4: What was the definitive moment? Brett? Did you see something.

519
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 7: When you first ask what shifted momentum in this game?

520
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:11,039
The first thing that comes to mind, and I'm not

521
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,359
even being sarcastic or facetious, but four minutes and thirty

522
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,079
four seconds left to go in the game, you know

523
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,759
what happened? That whole stadium got chicken because that dude

524
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:23,599
missed two free throws in a row. And I think

525
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,279
there was an energy that just shifted just a little

526
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,039
bit because it was tied I think sixty three all

527
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,599
at that point, it was a wash. You had Richie

528
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,160
and Keba both playing with four fouls. It was basically

529
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,799
who wanted it more. At that point, the whole game

530
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,440
didn't matter who's gonna win the final four and a

531
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,240
half minutes. When he missed both those free throws, I

532
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,000
think TCU felt like they lost the little momentum. I

533
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:50,880
think the building gained a ton of momentum, and I

534
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,759
think BYU fed off of that.

535
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,599
Speaker 4: The rest of the way.

536
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 7: I think the final three minutes of the game, I

537
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,480
want to say they only missed BOI only missed one.

538
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: Shot, so they really didn't. They just didn't make a

539
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,240
whole lot of mistakes.

540
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,519
Speaker 7: I think down the stretch and you saw TCU miss

541
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:09,400
a couple of bad shots, turned the ball over at

542
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,640
the end of the day. I think it was energy

543
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:14,319
and who wanted it more, which kind of goes back

544
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:16,759
to what Kevin Young was talking about with the Mike

545
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:18,960
Tomlin and the rebounding. Like I think it was just

546
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,200
a mentality thing. When the energy shifted at four thirty

547
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,759
four left to go in the game, I like.

548
00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:28,519
Speaker 3: That take a lot, and you know it's uh, there

549
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:31,039
were plenty, plenty of ebbs and flows in this game.

550
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:35,119
There's there was a lot of competition back and forth

551
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:41,200
throughout it all. And uh sometimes chicken, it's delicious. Who

552
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,480
doesn't like chicken. I love chicken, You love chicken.

553
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: We all have chicken. That gets everyone hiked.

554
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,279
Speaker 3: All right, guys, A couple of last things before khy

555
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,920
Let's just go here.

556
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: Did you say anything to aj at halftime by chance? As?

557
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: Uh?

558
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,079
Speaker 4: Was that just him realizing he was needed at the moment.

559
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 10: I think it was just AJ realizing what's needed. You know,

560
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,720
he's I don't have to say a whole lot to AJ.

561
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,400
You know, AJ's a great player. Even on an off night.

562
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,279
The guy still looks like an all world guy, generational

563
00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:12,240
type guy, even when he's sick. He threw me off

564
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:16,799
with the long sleeves. I'll be honest, that threw me off.

565
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:18,720
So I was like, li, boy, I don't like when

566
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:21,279
guys just do random stuff like that. I'm very I'm

567
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:24,000
so routine driven. I was like, what's happening right now.

568
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,599
Speaker 9: With the sleeves. But you know, he's a tough minded kid.

569
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,519
Speaker 10: Hedn't really say a whole lot to anyone about him

570
00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,880
not feeling great, So you know, he just got in

571
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,240
that mode that great players able to get into.

572
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: So once again, this leans into what I went off

573
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,880
on in that first segment of like this competitive mindset,

574
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,359
no complaints, no female caneining. You just go out and

575
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,319
get it done, and you go out and win. You

576
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,279
hate losing, so you go out and find a way

577
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:52,640
to win. AJ, by the way, had zero points with

578
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,359
the long sleeve on. He had zero points with the

579
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,200
long sleeve on. Boy had missed five straight going into

580
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,559
that break. When they came out of that break, Aga

581
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,160
had taken the shirt off and that's when he scored

582
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,200
his first buckets to the night.

583
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think it's like, yeah, that's exactly what

584
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:08,359
it is.

585
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 7: However, when Ky says that, I do want to push

586
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,319
back a little bit because keep the same energy the

587
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,759
whole time, K why you didn't really have anything to say.

588
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:17,759
Speaker 4: AJ wore a headband for what like the first five

589
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:19,839
games of the season. We've seen a headband.

590
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 7: Since I don't think so so, so I was a

591
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:23,079
little curious about why.

592
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 4: Did he stop wearing the headband.

593
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,079
Speaker 7: We Spencer Linton said pregame the reason AJ was wearing

594
00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:30,799
the shirt was because he was feeling under the weather.

595
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,279
And I don't I don't know the psyche there, but

596
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,319
that was the correlation there.

597
00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:38,079
Speaker 4: But I don't want to say clearly, but.

598
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 7: All I'll say is BIOI was not playing well while

599
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,079
he had the shirt on. I think it was maybe

600
00:28:43,119 --> 00:28:45,400
a little bit of a psychology a mentality thing where

601
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,400
he's like, you know what, I don't do this every game.

602
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,119
Let me just do what I do every game, even

603
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,359
though I don't feel how I feel every game. Maybe

604
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,799
I'll talk my body into it, and clearly he did

605
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:54,720
because he popped off.

606
00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, and look.

607
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,599
Speaker 3: Just aj don't wear your signature shoe ever again, that's

608
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,799
just don't wear that shoe and no more.

609
00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 7: Where we haven't seen him wear it since that game. Yeah, Ronnie,

610
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:10,720
any thoughts there.

611
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny about just the superstition.

612
00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:17,559
That's I'm not figuring. Oh boy, no, take that off.

613
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:21,359
And there's another question coming up next. I will discuss

614
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,519
a little bit more about that. But Brett and now

615
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,279
we're talking a few weeks ago about this, and Kevin

616
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:29,880
Young is very superstitious. He only like wears the Janowskis

617
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,920
when he coaches, doesn't wear any other black Janowski so

618
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,279
he is very much that way. I think even wears

619
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:37,079
the same black joggers like he is. He is a

620
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,279
very routine guy. Kevin Young is meaning it, so if

621
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:41,799
he sees that, he doesn't I even joke, which hopefully

622
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,000
we can get you later. Richie Saunders in the post

623
00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:45,200
game at the end of it, I don't know if

624
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,279
if it was cut out, I was like, never, uh,

625
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,680
never show up to a game without a headband, Richie,

626
00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:51,799
And he just chuckled and shook his head. But that's

627
00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:54,200
the thing. Kevin Young doesn't like you getting outside you

628
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,119
know what you're doing. But I agree with Brett. He

629
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,240
did wear a headband, so I don't know if that's interesting.

630
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,759
Speaker 3: Was it a j's choice to take the long sleeves off?

631
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 9: Then?

632
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:09,559
Speaker 10: Like again, the sleeves threw me off. And that's why

633
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:11,359
I hate stuff like that. You do you either wear

634
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,319
or you don't wear it. Okay, right, And so I'm

635
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:16,519
gonna have to do a quick story.

636
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:18,279
Speaker 9: I know it's midnight and everyone wants to leave, but

637
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:19,000
since we're here.

638
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 10: Dating back to my high school days, shout out to

639
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,880
Brian Flanging and my teammate got a chipped front tooth,

640
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,279
hadn't worn a mouthpiece the whole season, shows up to

641
00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:30,880
the state tournament wearing a mouthpiece, and my coach is.

642
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,839
Speaker 9: Like, planning it. Your too's already chipped.

643
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,839
Speaker 10: So that's how I feel about that.

644
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,119
Speaker 3: Close a couple last things.

645
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:42,079
Speaker 4: We'll try to wrap it up.

646
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:44,599
Speaker 3: Going into the game, you wanted to see your team

647
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:47,880
attack their defense. How do you feel like the execution

648
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,960
went in the second half?

649
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I thought good.

650
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 10: You know the stuff that we spent a lot of

651
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:55,799
time on I thought paid dividends. I thought the execution

652
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000
was was good, was impressive with our Rob for the

653
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,200
most part, was very surgical against their aggressive defense. You know,

654
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:05,079
I'm sure you wish he could have that pass back

655
00:31:05,119 --> 00:31:07,480
he through the Caba in full court, but that wasn't

656
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,599
a coverage base thing. So I thought our guys handled

657
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:11,119
it well.

658
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,079
Speaker 3: On that note, was it What was it about Rob

659
00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:16,559
where he knew he needed to score in the first half,

660
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,759
Then in the second half he had six assistants.

661
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 4: Was just distributing like a mad man.

662
00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:23,599
Speaker 10: No, it's a great point, you know, Like and even

663
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,480
the coaches were like, hey man, it's not AJ's night.

664
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 9: We need Rob to get going. And he was in

665
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:27,960
the first half.

666
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,119
Speaker 10: And then when AJ, you know, got into his mode,

667
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,240
Rob kind of started to facilitate a little bit more.

668
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 9: And so I say it a lot.

669
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:38,119
Speaker 10: But you know, like particularly and I would actually throw

670
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,240
Caba in there too. You know, we got a lot

671
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:42,680
of you know, Richie, AJ, Rob get a lot of

672
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,480
attention for a good reason.

673
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 9: But they're just very smart. They're smart players.

674
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 10: They know how to play the game, they know how

675
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,559
to play together, and I think every night they're kind

676
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:52,720
of growing their chemistry.

677
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: Finally, how do you feel like, uh, how do you

678
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,880
feel like reverse did Reverse did stepping up with the Sorry,

679
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,240
I don't know if it's just like reverse did stepping

680
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:07,720
up with Beato being out of the lineup.

681
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 9: Yeah.

682
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 10: Now, I thought they were tremendous. We don't win that

683
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,720
game without me high and hadim.

684
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,359
Speaker 9: You know, I just you know, what was it? They

685
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:16,880
for one?

686
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,319
Speaker 10: They combined for you know, twelve rebounds, you know, nine

687
00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:24,640
points and a block. So I thought their activity was good.

688
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,319
I thought I thought Hadeen was really good. You know,

689
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:29,480
the guy can't rebound. Man, he's got a nose for

690
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:29,920
the ball.

691
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 9: You know.

692
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 10: Me I hit the big three when we were kind

693
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,279
of struggling, So it was great. It was really good

694
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:38,440
to see guys coming off the bench and be able

695
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,599
to give us a lift.

696
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 9: Everyone go home and get some sweep thank you.

697
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: I'll be honest. I k nodded off a few times

698
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,480
in the game. I had to, you know, shake myself

699
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,880
a little bit. Some people were frustrated with an IPM tip,

700
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,000
I hopefully we don't have any more.

701
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,119
Speaker 6: Nope, you're wrong, because I knew you were going to

702
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,759
go there, so I was already prepared to step on.

703
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,839
There's going to be two more laid tip offs that

704
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:03,680
I'm going to be dealing with Saturday, February seventh against

705
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,039
Houston eight thirty pm, and then nine pm against UCF

706
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,559
February twenty fourth to Tuesday. That's gonna be a tough

707
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:10,920
one too.

708
00:33:11,079 --> 00:33:12,759
Speaker 3: Well, how much does it cost to get in that

709
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,759
five on five game with you know, all of the

710
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:17,519
big wigs of what you ask I.

711
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 6: Don't want any problems with coach Kamard What is it?

712
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,359
Ryan Smith, Bissant. I am good. I will I will

713
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,319
happily observe if they decide to play again, but I don't.

714
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 5: I probably couldn't afford ben.

715
00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:32,799
Speaker 7: I will keep at the Marriott Center because they're like,

716
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:33,799
oh I got to be at basketball.

717
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 5: Well, that's normally a Thursday morning crew.

718
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 6: Lee Comarda addressed the media earlier today for women's baskets,

719
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,319
say normally has some morning group, but they just sail

720
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,039
with all the schedules and everything coming back of hey,

721
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:43,759
let's just play.

722
00:33:43,799 --> 00:33:46,039
Speaker 5: You know, right after so b Someon was delok.

723
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: I saw how Biston played, and anybody that doubted I

724
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,799
see why he's passionate. He can get bucket. Steven still

725
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:53,200
at at fifty he divulce.

726
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:54,319
Speaker 5: That's not me knowing.

727
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 6: But yeah, they were going at it. If you check

728
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,839
some social media for some media members, they were posting it.

729
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,160
But there were some buckets, celestial buckets happening last night

730
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,119
after after the game.

731
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: I know, I know, bad just likes to sit in

732
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,400
that corner three spot right oh oh.

733
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, he wasn't just doing that. He

734
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,719
was doing it all because he had a crowd. He

735
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,079
was like Steph Curry ended the game on like a

736
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:17,320
dirt Novinsky like step back, and he was like.

737
00:34:17,519 --> 00:34:18,519
Speaker 9: He was talking.

738
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 6: He's like, Ron, I need you, I need to celebrate

739
00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:23,599
with me. So I dabbed him like he was doing everything.

740
00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:26,360
He was driving to the basket, getting and ones doing

741
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:26,880
other stuff.

742
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 5: He was, look, Besot's a competitor. It was good to

743
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:29,800
see that.

744
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 6: You love to see people out of their element because

745
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,320
sometimes you just think older the athletic director.

746
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: But no, it was nice to see that he was.

747
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,199
Speaker 6: He likes to play basketball, and the coaches and these

748
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,599
other guys like to see Ryan Smith shooting his his

749
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,039
family and friends. Look, these guys are normal people than

750
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,039
the day just because they have a job doesn't take away.

751
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:46,840
So it was a lot of chirping from everybody. It

752
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,119
was a very fun environment last night to watch, so

753
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:50,679

777
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: That's what AJ was saying last last night was they

778
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,039
were getting fouled and get to the free throw line

779
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,880
and uh, collectively the team had twenty nine attempts, so

780
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,519
the refs at least we're calling.

781
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 4: I know you guys didn't like the refs last night.

782
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,800

I asked the question what we were most frustrated by last

789
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,679
night in the bau TCU game the Zebras the refs

790
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,039
coming in at fifty four point three percent. I picked

791
00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:16,199
first half inefficiencies that have continued throughout the long and

792
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,159
arge was college basketball season for the Cougars. Nine pm

793
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:23,000
tip off also coming in at twenty two point nine percent.

794
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,480
And so, but buy fans are not like the refs,

795
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,800
But look, twenty nine attempts from the charity stripe don't

796
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,599
stand so close to me than opponent because the refs

797
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:37,559
were at least getting something right by allowing AJ and

798
00:37:37,559 --> 00:37:40,639
the crew to get to the charity stripe, which begs

799
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:43,360
the question right now, Okay, one of the things that

800
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,480
we've been debating for it seems like a year. You know,

801
00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:50,639
last year we were talking about who the best overall

802
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,239
recruit was in the two thousand twenty six basketball class,

803
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,519
twenty twenty five basketball class, it was a Jabotso or

804
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,079
Darren Peterson. Again, we're having the discussion Agent de Bonsa

805
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,840
versus Darren Peterson to become the first overall draft pick

806
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:11,559
in this next year's NBA draft, and everyone's chiming in

807
00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:13,599
on it. I want to play a sound by Ronnie

808
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:17,159
I said to you last night. I have people saying

809
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,159
that there's no offsens or butts about it that Darren Peterson,

810
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,679
when healthy, is the best player in the country by

811
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,360
a mile.

812
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,519
Speaker 4: Yes, his stats are nice.

813
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,559
Speaker 3: Twenty one point eight points per game, four point eight

814
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:34,400
rebounds per game. The Kansas product right now is looking

815
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,400
good when he's actually playing two assists, one block per game,

816
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,199
one point one steals per game, forty six point seven

817
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:43,039
percent from the field and forty percent from the three

818
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:45,920
point line, eighty six point four percent from the charity stripe.

819
00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:50,360
Many believe that he is the first overall draft pick

820
00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:53,480
in this next year's draft. But I'm like, guys, like,

821
00:38:53,639 --> 00:38:55,719
are you guys not seeing what I'm seeing?

822
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 4: Like, Look, I have been.

823
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:04,679
Speaker 3: Highly highly uh just complimentary of Darren Peterson throughout this process,

824
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:12,480
highly complimentary. But this man has only played it's in

825
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,039
instagram Instagram.

826
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,639
Speaker 4: Eight games this season.

827
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 3: He has sat out half of the season already. I've

828
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,199
been taught since I started competing in sports, your best

829
00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:34,440
ability is your availability. If you can't stay healthy, how

830
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,039
do you play if you can't stay these soft issue

831
00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:40,960
injuries and other things they go back to like high

832
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,480
school too. It's interesting because I've been delving into like

833
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:49,039
Kirk Signetti's commentary and the lead up to the college

834
00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:52,239
football Championship game, and he says he looks at two

835
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:58,320
things when recruiting, your productivity and your availability. If he sees,

836
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,000
especially coming out of the portal feces, that you can't

837
00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:03,320
stay healthy. And I know football is maybe a little

838
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,800
bit different than basketball, but to me, it's it's a

839
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:16,079
baseline foundational element of why you acquire certain players. If

840
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:20,079
they aren't available consistently to play at that level, you

841
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:24,400
can't win consistently. The biggest red flag to Darren Peterson

842
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:30,639
is that his health is not wealthy. It's not good.

843
00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:34,840
It's not good for long term winning. And for me,

844
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,920
if I'm an invest in anybody, I want someone that

845
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,960
can fight through injuries. I want somebody that can fight

846
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,239
through adversity time and time again and find a way

847
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,719
to win a j To me, his stats are better collectively,

848
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:50,800
and on top of that, he's playing and competed in

849
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,239
every single game while suffering through sickness, under the weather

850
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,440
and almost dislocating his right shoulder last night versus TCU.

851
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,400
Did you guys see that he fell down? He gets

852
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:09,119
completely demolished by one of TCU's big men right to

853
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:11,920
the back of the shoulder and he's writhing in pain.

854
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:17,480
Obviously it hurt the shoulder and it looked like it

855
00:41:17,519 --> 00:41:20,360
almost subluxed. It didn't dislocate, but it looked like it

856
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,960
could have sublux came back fout away. That was in

857
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,039
the first half, and he had one of his best

858
00:41:26,199 --> 00:41:29,320
performances in my opinion, the second half taken over that game,

859
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:35,000
Let's listen in CBS Sports, pontificated on this, comparing the

860
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:39,000
contrasting and discussing and highlighting Darren Peterson.

861
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 4: Let's sun it in. There are people who work in

862
00:41:42,519 --> 00:41:42,960
the NBA.

863
00:41:43,639 --> 00:41:44,679
Speaker 5: They do this for a living.

864
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,079
Speaker 11: Their careers revolve around it, selecting players, and we have

865
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,559
seen aj Debonsa be awesome.

866
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 5: We've seen it like a game after game after game.

867
00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:56,599
Speaker 11: Like nobody's done this in the Big Twelve as a

868
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,000
freshman other than Tree Young.

869
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,679
Speaker 5: We've talked about that just the other day.

870
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 9: He's unbelievable.

871
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:03,599
Speaker 4: Caaron Boozer, unbelievable, Darius A.

872
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 9: Cuff Like you go through this.

873
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 11: Freshman class like it is locked and loaded, arguably the

874
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,320
best freshman class of all time. And yet when you

875
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,800
talk to anybody who works in the NBA, even while

876
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,400
Darren Peterson was sitting on the bench coming out of

877
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,599
games holding his legs, they said, that's the guy.

878
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:21,559
Speaker 9: You don't pass on him.

879
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,119
Speaker 5: He's the number one pick in the draft.

880
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 11: And though last night Tuesday Night, wasn't the best example

881
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,079
of that, there were still moments in that game. A

882
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:32,960
little floater at the elbow, a pull up three in

883
00:42:33,039 --> 00:42:36,679
somebody's eye, that like, you don't even take that, and

884
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,400
he took it confidently and buried it. There were so

885
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,960
many moments in the game where it was just like, Okay,

886
00:42:42,039 --> 00:42:44,039
that's that's that's.

887
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 4: It, that's that's Gary Parrish.

888
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:53,039
Speaker 3: His sources are telling him that Darren Peterson is the guy,

889
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,079
the dude, the individual that will be taken first in

890
00:42:58,119 --> 00:42:59,440
next year's NBA draft.

891
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 4: Last two games, yes, he has looked good.

892
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,679
Speaker 3: Sixteen points, twenty three points, twenty seven minutes, thirty one minutes, respectively,

893
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:10,280
shooting about forty percent from the field, thirty percent from

894
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,840
the three point line, five and six rebounds respectively.

895
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: One assists, two assists. He's a score. There's been times

896
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:18,840
where he.

897
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,639
Speaker 3: Distributes for assists, three assists, for assists, three ass his

898
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:24,159
but to me, he's more of a score than anything.

899
00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:26,719
Kenny rebound. Yes, he's six foot six, two hundred five pounds.

900
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,440
He's pretty robust, But I love the frame of the

901
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,360
point forward. AJ debonsa that frame to me, and the

902
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,719
athleticism to me. I see the quick twitch as AJ

903
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,960
puts on more muscle mass and lead muscle mass in

904
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,880
the weight room. Guys, that freak is gonna be unstoppable.

905
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:50,719
He's gonna be unstoppable. Darren has a ceiling, okay, but

906
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,039
he'll be He'll be a premier scorer in the league

907
00:43:53,079 --> 00:43:57,880
if he's healthy. He has consistently had soft issue injuries.

908
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,800
How do you expect him all of a sudden to

909
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,599
play in the NBA where guys are bigger, faster, stronger.

910
00:44:07,039 --> 00:44:10,760
You're playing more games. You think high school is tough

911
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,360
on your body. You think college is tough on your body,

912
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,039
Try playing eighty plus.

913
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 4: Games in a season.

914
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 3: You think Darren's all of a sudden going to be

915
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,159
able to be healthy for eighty plus games? How does

916
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:28,760
not that devalue him? That alone should devalue him? Am

917
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,320
I off base? If I am I off kilter? Here,

918
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:34,519
Roddie set me straight if I'm wrong here?

919
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:36,119
Speaker 5: No, you're not.

920
00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I've been the one that's been harping on

921
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,760
this for a long time and really irritated actually.

922
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,079
Speaker 5: That you had this complain.

923
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,039
Speaker 6: I hadn't heard it from Gary Parris, and I respect

924
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:47,360
Gary a lot. I know that I got sent but

925
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,119
hearing that it just like it made me frustrated because

926
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:53,000
it's just so we're gonna take the game in Iowa

927
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:56,559
State in which he played well in a game where

928
00:44:56,559 --> 00:44:59,000
he wasn't even the best player, and Breton I talked about,

929
00:44:59,039 --> 00:45:01,880
see he was not. He did not shoot excellent from

930
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,800
the field. He did not light it up. It was

931
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,239
the other guy, Trey White, actually looked lit up the game.

932
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,159
I understand that he facilitated, but it wasn't like last

933
00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:12,159
night where guys got in foul trouble. Like I watched

934
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:14,119
that game, you know, I watched it entirely, and it

935
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,599
just daring to me. Wasn't the best player on the floor.

936
00:45:16,639 --> 00:45:19,079
You could see that he's the better athlete. I won't

937
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:21,719
argue that. And then it's okay, So we're gonna take

938
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,719
a guy who's had moments but who can't stay healthy

939
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:25,960
and a guy who's been consistent.

940
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,599
Speaker 5: It's like, so when do we get credit for being

941
00:45:27,639 --> 00:45:29,199
consistent in our lives?

942
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 4: Right?

943
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 6: And one elder Hollins said, you get credit for trying yet,

944
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,599
but this is not your jobs on the line, your

945
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:35,400
career is on the line.

946
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,199
Speaker 5: You're not taking a chance.

947
00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 6: You want to take a chance on the guy that's

948
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,639
injury prone, go right ahead, Like and as much as

949
00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:43,159
I love this guy, I'm about to bring up and

950
00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:46,800
I hope people don't think he's catching astray. It's I

951
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,599
felt like this was Andrew. This is Andrew Wiggins and

952
00:45:50,679 --> 00:45:53,559
Jabari Parker. Both are talented, both are greg coming out.

953
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:55,679
But one guy started to deal with injuries. One guy

954
00:45:55,679 --> 00:45:58,199
you know, had his moments of that. You keep investing,

955
00:45:58,199 --> 00:46:00,440
It's like, Okay, you can and then what happens Eventually

956
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,400
it's like, well you move on from it. And to me,

957
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,679
I'm gonna be honest, it might be an extremely hot take.

958
00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:07,679
If Darren Peterson continues to struggle with injuries in college

959
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,239
and at the NBA, it has to be both. It

960
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,880
just can't be one because he can get to the

961
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,000
next level like Pooka did and they got the best

962
00:46:13,079 --> 00:46:14,440
doctors and it could go workd out. But if he

963
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,400
struggles now and getting to the next level, if he's

964
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,719
struggling in the first five to seven years with that injury,

965
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,920
he's going to fall off. He just will, Like your

966
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,719
health is the best thing. Like you have a dollar

967
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:25,480
sign on your head.

968
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 5: That just sucks. That's the way it is.

969
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 6: These guys are an attraction and if you can't perform,

970
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,719
you become less valuable. So to me, it's the same

971
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,800
thing with the draft. Darren's a good player. He's still

972
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,119
a top three player, but the more the less he

973
00:46:37,159 --> 00:46:39,199
plays and checking himself out of games and not shown

974
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,480
up and just having quote unquote moments and not being

975
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,880
consistent like AJ, to me, his value drops. And now

976
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,199
I'm just say that as someone who covers BYU, I

977
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,519
legit believe that. Like I'm being honest when I say this,

978
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,639
I would take AJ and camp Before over Darren because

979
00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:53,840
I haven't seen enough. I need him to stay healthy.

980
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,519
I don't want to bring in an injury prone guy

981
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:56,920
into my organization.

982
00:46:57,039 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 5: It has that ability.

983
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:58,039
Speaker 2: Now.

984
00:46:58,039 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 6: Granted, I know I have to spend the money and

985
00:46:59,519 --> 00:47:01,400
do that because if he does turn out well, I

986
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,280
lose my job. But I'm being serious. I don't think

987
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,599
he deserves to be picked over those other two guys

988
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,760
until he can stay healthy and showcase more.

989
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,119
Speaker 5: I can be wrong. We've still got a lot of

990
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:10,840
time left.

991
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,159
Speaker 6: But if you can't beat AJ and you're checking yourself

992
00:47:13,159 --> 00:47:15,039
out of the game and losing. That to me, is

993
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,880
that's enough as a guy, as an NBA scout, when

994
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,199
you play by you at the end of the month.

995
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,440
If you can't play the full game beginning to end

996
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,400
healthy and play well and you're checking out and you're

997
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,800
not playing well, the is done. Like to me, that's

998
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,199
why I say been that game determines I think who

999
00:47:29,199 --> 00:47:29,719
the number one.

1000
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:30,599
Speaker 5: Overall pick would be.

1001
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 6: If ag goes up there and balls out, takes care

1002
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,800
of business and Darren doesn't, and Darren can't ball out

1003
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,360
and he's doing the same thing and he's he's under

1004
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,400
the weather with his health and other stuff, it's just

1005
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,360
like it's it's over. I think at that point that

1006
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,280
determines it. So I just feel like NBA scouts and look,

1007
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,800
I don't care what Gary has to say, but I

1008
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,480
know him on a tangent. Everybody said diegoor can't shoot

1009
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,199
the three. That's all I heard. That's all I heard.

1010
00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:52,639
I'll know where those people are at.

1011
00:47:52,639 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 9: Now.

1012
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 6: I don't know Brett. Brett can checked it, but you can.

1013
00:47:55,599 --> 00:47:57,480
I want to know where those dudes are at because

1014
00:47:57,519 --> 00:48:00,960
I tried to tell y'all multiple times that he would

1015
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,840
get fixed, and no one wanted to listen to me,

1016
00:48:03,039 --> 00:48:05,519
and everybody was yelling as people, that's a bad draft pick.

1017
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,320
Now everybody loves him. He wasn't a lottery pick. I

1018
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,400
sat next to a scout at the Utah game and

1019
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,639
I asked. He said, he's a lottery pick. He will

1020
00:48:13,679 --> 00:48:15,320
get developed with that shot in the NBA.

1021
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,679
Speaker 5: Don't worry. I think the same thing could happen.

1022
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,639
Speaker 6: I think all the noise in that and when it's

1023
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:21,199
all said and done, people will look at it and

1024
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,639
be like, AJ's the freak, He's the kid, He's the

1025
00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:26,719
most consistent. The upside, the lebron ability is there. We

1026
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,280
shouldn't lose that for this guy, especially if his health

1027
00:48:29,639 --> 00:48:30,840
is not there every single night.

1028
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,119
Speaker 4: In my opinion, to me, Darren Peterson reminds me of

1029
00:48:34,159 --> 00:48:34,719
Grant Hill.

1030
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: Grant Hill was going to be a superstar in the

1031
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:41,239
NBA and he was for a time, but just had

1032
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,280
injuries battlefoot, ankle injuries, eventually.

1033
00:48:45,519 --> 00:48:50,079
Speaker 4: You know, knee issues. You know Penny Hardaway, another guy

1034
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,239
was a star for a moment. Injuries.

1035
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 3: Okay, There's been plenty of these situations right where injuries

1036
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,840
derailed careers. You have to be very judicious about this,

1037
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,119
and I'm sure they're gonna MRI. They're gonna scan them

1038
00:49:04,199 --> 00:49:06,280
up and down to figure out what's wrong with him,

1039
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,679
why it's wrong with him, etc. Before they draft him

1040
00:49:09,679 --> 00:49:12,320
at the combine. But I'm telling you, during that process,

1041
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,760
you wonder does AJ get elevated because of his freakish athleticism,

1042
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,719
because of what he's produced at BA in the run

1043
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,079
that he's gonna, I believe, lead by U two in

1044
00:49:22,159 --> 00:49:23,440
the NCAA Tournament.

1045
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued.

1046
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,679
Speaker 3: Many are saying Darren Peterson is the best player in

1047
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,159
the country. I'm not buying it, and nor do I

1048
00:49:31,159 --> 00:49:33,199
think he's going to be the number one overall pick.

1049
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,159

1071
00:50:35,639 --> 00:50:37,159
it is time to talk about stats. I want to

1072
00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:39,679
talk about Richie Sanders' stats and delve into some of

1073
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:44,320
his comments from the post game. Richie Sanders struggled in

1074
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:50,039
the first half, not his best showing, but Ry rose

1075
00:50:50,119 --> 00:50:53,719
and shouted in the second half and balled out for Brigham.

1076
00:50:54,079 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 4: Really liked what I saw from Richie.

1077
00:50:56,039 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 3: H and the Todd King continues to impress or much

1078
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,760
about it. Most recently the mock draft from Jeremy Wu

1079
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,199
put him at fifty first overall in the next year's

1080
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,800
NBA Draft at the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1081
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 4: Is he gonna be good enough? Is he gonna produce enough?

1082
00:51:13,039 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be popular enough through the NCAA tournament

1083
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,719
like he was last year to elevate his play, elevate

1084
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,480
in some way shape or form his draft stock to

1085
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:29,039
become a first round pick. What's his ceiling? What's his four?

1086
00:51:29,079 --> 00:51:30,840
Real quick, guys, what do you make of it? Do

1087
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,800
you think his ceiling is end of first round? Is

1088
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,199
that a ceiling for him? Or is it more, you know,

1089
00:51:38,519 --> 00:51:42,079
second round, middle of the second round type of deal.

1090
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:46,519
Speaker 7: I don't think Richie is going to play himself into

1091
00:51:46,519 --> 00:51:50,559
being any higher than he is. And that's not necessarily

1092
00:51:51,159 --> 00:51:56,119
a commentary on Richie. That's just a commentary on A

1093
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,480
the fact that this is a loaded class and B.

1094
00:52:00,599 --> 00:52:04,039
I think he's already so far outperformed what people thought

1095
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:07,719
he would be. I don't know what else he could do.

1096
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,079
I mean, the guys has multiple twenty point games this season. Like,

1097
00:52:12,599 --> 00:52:15,079
I think the other hard part is you're playing with

1098
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:19,079
AJ and Rob and so you're never gonna look like

1099
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,800
Superman in the Justice League on the team because you

1100
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,159
have two other guys that are right there, and so

1101
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,280
I think there's a couple of things I don't even

1102
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,119
want to say working against him, because I think I

1103
00:52:31,159 --> 00:52:33,239
think where he is and where he's gonna go in

1104
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,599
the draft somewhere between that.

1105
00:52:34,559 --> 00:52:38,119
Speaker 4: Forty five to fifty spot is awesome. It's excellent.

1106
00:52:38,119 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 7: I'm sure the competitor in him says I want to

1107
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,119
be a first rounder. Obviously, I think where he is

1108
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,679
right now, I think that's probably his ceiling, probably just

1109
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,639
a couple of spots higher. But I don't think he'll

1110
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:52,079
be an early second round, late first round guy.

1111
00:52:52,559 --> 00:52:55,119
Speaker 3: I was looking up Gordon Hayward again and just kind

1112
00:52:55,119 --> 00:52:56,880
of see where he was at, you know, six foot

1113
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,880
six and three fourths inches is what he came in at,

1114
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:04,159
you know, in the combine, and he was to eleven

1115
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:10,079
two hundred eleven pounds, so a little bit thicker than Richie.

1116
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,320
But like we were talking about ceilings and floors yesterday

1117
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,679
as far as his his you know, I as an

1118
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,840
NBA prospect, and I was like, can't he be a

1119
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,119
Gordon Hayward if he gets you know, some muscle mass

1120
00:53:22,119 --> 00:53:23,320
on him, can he get up to two ten.

1121
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 4: Can he gadd up to two fifteen?

1122
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 3: I mean Gordon was playing out two twenty when he

1123
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,840
was at his bouncies two twenty five in the NBA.

1124
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,119
Does does Richie have the frame to do that? Does

1125
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:35,559
he have the work ethic in the weight room to

1126
00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:37,679
do that? Is he taking enough creating and protein to

1127
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,719
get there? I would like to see him shoot for

1128
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,880
that is what I'm getting at. And if we see

1129
00:53:43,559 --> 00:53:46,440
that ability to take on maybe a little bit more

1130
00:53:46,599 --> 00:53:51,280
body weight, good body weight, that that's where it could

1131
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,719
be a possibility for me. But obviously we're in the

1132
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,800
middle of the season. At the end of the season now,

1133
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,920
obviously he's not gonna put on additional weight and he's

1134
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,079
coming in at maybe two hundred pounds still spelt, still

1135
00:54:01,159 --> 00:54:04,280
still slight. But I would love to see, you know,

1136
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,719
him continue to pack on some good lean muscle mass.

1137
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 4: Anyway, let's talk about his stats in this game. Nice production.

1138
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,079
Speaker 3: Not as efficient as he would like from the field,

1139
00:54:16,159 --> 00:54:17,800
but at least from the free throw line thirty three

1140
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,639
minutes of play, eight of twenty two from the field,

1141
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,920
thirty six point four percent from the field two point

1142
00:54:22,159 --> 00:54:25,280
two of seven, and twenty eight point six percent from

1143
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,159
the three point line, seven of seven from the from

1144
00:54:27,199 --> 00:54:31,920
the charity stripe, six rebounds, one assist, and two personal fouls.

1145
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 4: Uh and or.

1146
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 3: Sorry, I have I have sorry, I have AJ's stat

1147
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,599
up there. My bad, I got that one wrong. Twenty

1148
00:54:39,639 --> 00:54:41,679
six minutes of play, four to twelve from the field,

1149
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,920
thirty three point three percent from the field, one of

1150
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,559
six from the three point line, sixteen point seven percent

1151
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,920
from the three point line, nine good nine of eleven

1152
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,039
from the charity stripe, but eight eighty one point eight

1153
00:54:51,519 --> 00:54:54,559
percent from the charity stripe, six rebounds, one assist, and

1154
00:54:54,599 --> 00:54:57,639
then he had four personal fouls and one turnover. Let's

1155
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,039
see what he had to say in the post game.

1156
00:54:59,159 --> 00:55:04,840
Richie s Sonders the King, Richie the message time.

1157
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 9: You guys, I think that rebounded him like plus eighteen in.

1158
00:55:07,639 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 12: The second half.

1159
00:55:08,679 --> 00:55:10,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that was a big focus.

1160
00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing that ky I was saying is

1161
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,800
he showed the clip of KBA like a minut and

1162
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,159
a half a game where he just uh he do

1163
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,960
on the floor, got the ext possession. He said, that's

1164
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,679
why we're gonna win this game. Is plays like that

1165
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,559
just all like just an attitude of toughness.

1166
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,519
Speaker 4: Was you the told AJ to change out of the

1167
00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:33,440
long sleeves?

1168
00:55:34,159 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just I just had no part of that.

1169
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,639
I was wondering why he didn't have that all, but

1170
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:43,920
you know he wasn't. Maybe I just feeling the best,

1171
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,559
but he just came out hooped saw a lot about him.

1172
00:55:46,639 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 12: What does it do for this team to win a

1173
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,360
game where stylistically it's up and down?

1174
00:55:51,679 --> 00:55:56,119
Speaker 1: Then yeah, I mean it just it just shows that

1175
00:55:56,159 --> 00:55:59,159
we can win in different ways, right, like you know,

1176
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,159
some and lows in different categories, but also some really

1177
00:56:03,199 --> 00:56:06,119
good stuff with offensive rebounding twenty one oh boards is

1178
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,159
is huge and like I'm sure is gonna come in

1179
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:12,480
and talk all about but like that is how you

1180
00:56:12,519 --> 00:56:17,880
win games like that. And the guys for for final

1181
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:18,360
ways to win?

1182
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 12: How much of a grind and physical physical was it?

1183
00:56:22,199 --> 00:56:24,000
The physicality of this game? How much of a crind

1184
00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:24,480
was this one?

1185
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just from from the very jump, it

1186
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,559
was just it was just a grind. Like, yeah, there's

1187
00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:32,280
games like that you just got to figure out where

1188
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,840
to win and it's just not pretty.

1189
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 9: But yet end of the day it's come out with

1190
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:39,119
a win. We're good.

1191
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,559
Speaker 12: Is there any like a rivalry, you hangover type of

1192
00:56:44,519 --> 00:56:46,599
reason for you guys to come out the way you

1193
00:56:46,639 --> 00:56:48,920
did an house for that.

1194
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:52,199
Speaker 9: Or no, I don't know, I don't think so.

1195
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,679
Speaker 12: Were you guys aware that j was a little bit

1196
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,840
under the weather at all or did he let you

1197
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,199
guys know going in?

1198
00:56:58,760 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 9: Uh?

1199
00:56:59,199 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: I mean just bit. But we we know that we're

1200
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,800
we're team. We gotta figure it out together and final ways,

1201
00:57:05,599 --> 00:57:06,519
would you pick up.

1202
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,119
Speaker 5: Your fourth with just under fifteen to go?

1203
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,159
Speaker 10: How difficult is it to kind of have to sit

1204
00:57:10,199 --> 00:57:10,480
through that?

1205
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:11,079
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1206
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:12,119
Speaker 4: What'd you think any.

1207
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 9: Other guys kind of Yeah?

1208
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean it sucks, there's no way around it sucks.

1209
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:23,280
Just everything's just stickier, everything's hapens. But you know, I

1210
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,400
mean just really happy for for that run that those guys.

1211
00:57:27,519 --> 00:57:29,719
I mean, for example, me Hi came in and hit

1212
00:57:29,719 --> 00:57:31,920
a Hilo came in and hit a huge shot. During

1213
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,559
that time, different guys just stepped up and that's what

1214
00:57:34,559 --> 00:57:35,239
the team's about.

1215
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 12: He also played most of the final eight minutes without

1216
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:39,519
four of those fouls.

1217
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 9: How do you do something like that? I mean, that's

1218
00:57:42,159 --> 00:57:43,360
that's tough for anybody to do.

1219
00:57:44,679 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: I'd be figured out. I don't I don't have a

1220
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,280
great answer. For you, But I'm glad to pick up

1221
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,000

job of packing that place, and I think those are

1231

1258
00:59:28,599 --> 00:59:30,039
