They 83 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,479 didn't give you the best view in the house. I 84 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,560 was a little bit disappointed, and I'm saying, you don't 85 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919 do that tomorrow. D Durant in the Great Record Bill. 86 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, clearly they didn't know that. 87 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,919 Speaker 3: They didn't know about you know who they were dealing 88 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,840 with there around like you do, or I would have 89 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,439 been right down on the front row. But yeah, you know, 90 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,520 with a lot of these NBA arena type arenas, I 91 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,639 know that there's no NBA team there, but it's an 92 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,680 NBA type arena. They kind of put the radio and 93 00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:50,840 other people up a little bit higher. But I you know, 94 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:54,000 I'm not complaining. For the ninety eight percent of the time, 95 00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:56,039 I get pretty good seats, So I can live with 96 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,759 it for one day. 97 00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,159 Speaker 2: You definitely get live with the two percent, you know, 98 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,280 being uh in Las Vegas The Hall of Fame Classic 99 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:03,319 BYU Villanova. 100 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: Mark. 101 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: Want to get your reaction after during the game and 102 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,000 now maybe if you had a chance to go back 103 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,719 and watch the film, what did you like about this 104 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,199 bou basketball team open night. It's tough to have a 105 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,680 formidable opponent like Villanova. They had a gritty win to 106 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,240 start off the season. Wasn't really a comfortable victory. They 107 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,360 were up big at times, but they had to really 108 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,759 maneuver through, especially in that ball game, to pull it out. 109 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I have mixed feelings about it. 110 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: Ron. 111 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,959 Speaker 3: I thought they played pretty well for the most part. 112 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:34,240 I thought they played good defense. Obviously, they didn't do 113 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,120 a great job keeping Villanova off the offensive boards, which 114 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,000 helped Villanova stay around, especially early in that game where 115 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560 it could have just been really been blown open pretty wide. 116 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 4: And then and also I mean by you. 117 00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: Missed a lot of shots in the paint, which I 118 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,199 don't anticipate being a problem. 119 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 4: I chalked that up to kind of nerves. 120 00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: And you know you've been you're playing against new guys 121 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,120 really for the first time in a couple months, and 122 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,240 it's a big game, it's on TV. I mean, you 123 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:07,199 tend to rush yourself a little bit. Also, you know, Bill, 124 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,959 you've got to kind of learn how to play against 125 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,680 the Villanova types that in North Carolina types with such 126 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160 size inside the paint and not rush yourself and not 127 00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:20,800 force things. And I thought they did better that late 128 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,639 in the game. They got a couple of really nice 129 00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,600 buckets from aj and Rob Wright that they were really 130 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,040 nice and patient and the paint and got easy looks. So, 131 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,920 I mean, I'm not worried about all those misses, but 132 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,639 because they had all those in those close in misses 133 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,120 and because they gave up a lot of offensive rebounds 134 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,879 that let Villanova stick around. 135 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 4: But what I. 136 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,199 Speaker 3: Really loved most of all was that last five or 137 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,600 six minutes, when that'd be why your team said, Okay, 138 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,399 we're gonna lock it down right here, that we've messed 139 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:53,759 around long enough, and I don't you know, Villanova didn't 140 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,920 score there for like five minutes, and and b why 141 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040 you got the job done. So that that says a 142 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,000 lot about me this team that if they get focused 143 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,079 and really come together, then they can play play at 144 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,199 a super high level, and they got the job done 145 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,759 by doing that. 146 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:10,959 Speaker 2: They definitely did get the job done. You're right, they 147 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,720 locked it down the last five minutes. Loved that they 148 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,079 were able to turn it on. You like to see 149 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,000 it as like, Okay, so you guys can play defense 150 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,319 and lock it up when you really want to. But 151 00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,639 what do you like about Keava Cator's performance. I just 152 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,680 thought Kiba really gave by you what they needed down 153 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,480 the stretch. I mean, we know what Aj and Richie 154 00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,560 and Robb will do, right, but him ceiling the way 155 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,079 they teach you in the pros, little snake action. I mean, 156 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,480 he's ripping dudes up at the perimeter. I'm like, and 157 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,759 it's supposed to be Canard Davis Junior's job, but late 158 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,000 in the game. But I thought he was fantastic down 159 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,439 the stretch. 160 00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:46,639 Speaker 3: Well, the great thing about Keba is you start from 161 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:51,160 such a high place. I mean he is so athletic 162 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,079 and strong and quick and physical. 163 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 4: I mean it's just. 164 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,959 Speaker 3: How he's made right, And so then you're just starting 165 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,480 to try and improve him and hone his skills, get 166 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:09,319 him a little bit better offensively around the hoop, get 167 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,199 his understanding of the game more and. 168 00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:13,279 Speaker 4: He's getting all that. 169 00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,199 Speaker 3: I mean, he's been around now, he's figuring out what 170 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,759 he needs to do, where he needs to be. His 171 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,800 shot blocking is the macket because he knows when I'm 172 00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:27,319 helping and when, and so he's on both ends of 173 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:27,720 the floor. 174 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,079 Speaker 4: He's super valuable. 175 00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: And one thing that he does as good as anyone 176 00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:36,120 I've ever seen is, you know, BYU needed some buckets 177 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,079 late in that game, so they just went to a 178 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,240 two man game, and Cable would set a screen for 179 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,439 Rob or AJ And he's so good at setting that 180 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:49,040 screen and ceiling and then creating basically a two on one. 181 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: So AJ or Rob gets by their man because. 182 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: Of that screen, and Cable will roll down, and so 183 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,120 that other defender has to decide, Okay, am I going 184 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,839 to try and stop a Rob on the drive? 185 00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: And if I even make even. 186 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: A slight movement that way, I know I've got this 187 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560 unbelievable alley up guy that's gonna dunk on my head 188 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,040 if I leave him. And so it just creates a 189 00:08:14,079 --> 00:08:17,480 lot of pressure on the defense. And Caba sets that 190 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920 screen and does that role, and even though a lot 191 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,079 of times he won't get the pass for the bucket, 192 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,920 he creates the opening for Aj and Rob or Richie 193 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,000 to score because they have to be so concerned with Caba. 194 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:36,240 But Kaba has just absolutely amazing and unique attributes about 195 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,799 him as just an athlete, and now he's kind of 196 00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:42,039 learning how to over the years, has learned really to 197 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,120 understand the game and play the game and be in 198 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,799 the right spots and make the right plays, and has 199 00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,320 developed a really nice touch around the hoop. And we 200 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,279 always talk about his dunks, right, but he's now become 201 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,000 a guy that can score around the hoop. 202 00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 4: And so all those things combined. 203 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: That's to say that Caba is one of my favorite 204 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,120 players ever at YU. He's just so fun to watch. 205 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,879 I mean every game he has jaw dropping plays. And 206 00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,240 that sequence where he threw that or put back down, 207 00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:10,039 like he threw that straight. 208 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,279 Speaker 4: Down with one hand. It was unbelievable. 209 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: Then he goes down the other end and blocks it 210 00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:15,639 into the fifth row. I mean, that's that's the epitome 211 00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,960 of k Bricator right there. Those two possessions on what 212 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,039 he can do on both ends of the floor. He's 213 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,919 just he's just super fun to watch. That's bottom line. 214 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,279 He's a fun player to watch. 215 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:29,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're swating to like the Dwight Howard into 216 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,799 the nineteenth row, and you got all your guys looking 217 00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:35,120 up home. My goodness, alf hearted that go I have one. 218 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,960 I have one man's name for you. Will you got 219 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,879 to give credit to the whole staff. I don't know 220 00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:41,799 his middle name, but Chris Christopher, what have you go by? 221 00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:45,080 You probably go by Chris Chris Burgess. Salute to you, 222 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:49,440 because my goodness getting him to BYU and the development. 223 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,559 Oh man, I can't speak enough about how important Chris 224 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Burgess is mark to the staff. 225 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:56,919 Speaker 1: All the other guys are important. 226 00:09:57,159 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 2: Retaining the Austen was important, but I think Chris Burgess 227 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 sometimes goes a little bit unnoticed because he puts a 228 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:04,480 lot of work in, especially when it comes to the 229 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:04,879 big man. 230 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,639 Speaker 1: You know though, those guys that are banging down Loan. 231 00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 232 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,279 Speaker 3: I don't think it's a prerequisite to coach a position 233 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,000 that you have played that position, but I think it helps. 234 00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 4: I think it helps a lot. 235 00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:23,919 Speaker 3: And to have a guy like Chris who has played 236 00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:27,799 that position over the years and was very good at it, 237 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,639 to be able to relate to Kaba and others and 238 00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,799 help them with their improvement. I mean I've seen a lot, 239 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,080 like I've just mentioned, a lot of improvement with Kaba, 240 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,120 And if you have a big guy coach that has 241 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,639 done it all and then can and help his players 242 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:47,960 kind of figure that out as well. I mean, you're 243 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840 ahead of the game. And I think the world of Chris. 244 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,480 I mean, that whole coaching staff. I just I just 245 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,440 can't believe that that's that's who. We've got, those guys 246 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,879 all working together, and it starts obviously with coach Jung. 247 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 4: I'm just such a big fan of him. 248 00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 3: But yeah, Chris, you know, he's I've watched him a 249 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,879 long time in different places and he's and I just 250 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,039 I think he's obviously destined to be a great head 251 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,799 coach one day. 252 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 4: But man, Bay, he's lucky to have him, and. 253 00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 3: Particularly lucky to have him working with the big man 254 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,919 because I think that's really his area of expertise. 255 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:24,279 Speaker 1: It definitely is expertise, no doubt. 256 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:27,279 Speaker 2: Here with former BAU basketball great and the color analysts 257 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,600 for BAU men's basketball, we got Mark Durant on the 258 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:30,159 line here in. 259 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: A little BAU basketball segment. 260 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,799 Speaker 2: As we're in the final hour here of Cougar Sports 261 00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:36,720 on one of three nine in ninety eight three, wishing 262 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,679 everybody a happy Friday, November seventh. Hope you are getting 263 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,240 your sleep. Hopefully you won't be stressed with a lot 264 00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:44,159 of big time matchups. Mark, we'll ask you about that 265 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,480 in just a second, but let's go back to the game. 266 00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: Aj debonsa closing out the game. 267 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: Just your reaction to seeing that that is exactly I 268 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,000 think what b what you needs to compete for a 269 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,679 final four birth to be in in Elite eight potentially 270 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960 going that's the type of player that you need. I 271 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,440 wouldn't say they necessarily didn't have that in the past, 272 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:07,279 but you didn't have this high of a level of 273 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:09,399 player that can get to the rim with ease, with 274 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,039 the athleticism has. 275 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's important for a team to know that, 276 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,480 you know, if they're in a type game, that they 277 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,879 do have a type of player and that type of leader. 278 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,240 And not only can aj do that, but you've got 279 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,440 a couple guys, I mean Rob obviously and Richie who's 280 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,039 shown him that he can do that. 281 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: So, but it's nice. 282 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: What's nice about aj Ron is that you know he's 283 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,759 a guy with with his particular set of athletic skills 284 00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:43,120 that he can he can score from anywhere on the 285 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,559 court by himself and with with with a team focused 286 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,879 solely on stopping him, Uh, he can still score. You know, 287 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:56,039 he's able to shoot the three, hit a big three 288 00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,399 in that Villanova game when Bill you really needed it, 289 00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:01,279 and then he's able to put the ball on the 290 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,240 floor and he's got a beautiful kind of Uh. You know, 291 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,200 I hate doing this guy, but it's it's Jordan esque. 292 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,440 The way he looks on his jumper. It looks, you know, 293 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,440 putting on the driba pull up and shooting that little 294 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,840 jumper all a jazz killer jumper. 295 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 4: You know, he's got he's got that shot. 296 00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's Jordan. I'm just saying he's got 297 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,159 that look of a shot. And then if you try 298 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,679 to take that away, he can just kind of use 299 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,120 his strength and have a big euro step and his 300 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,559 size and get to the rim and. 301 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,039 Speaker 4: Score it, like we saw a couple of times. 302 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 3: So you can do everything you can to stop him, 303 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,120 and yet he can still score for you. So when 304 00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,240 you have a weapon that can score anywhere on the 305 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,639 floor by himself, and you know, you know, if we 306 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,639 need a bucket, we can get it from him, whereas 307 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:47,639 sometimes you're like. 308 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 4: Who's going to score for us? 309 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: How can we score here in this tight situation? No, 310 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240 you don't have to worry about that. You can give 311 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,799 the ball to Richie or excuse me, AJ or Richie 312 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,840 or Rob right. 313 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 4: I mean, that's the that's the real strength. 314 00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:02,879 Speaker 3: I mean, not that they just have AJ, but that 315 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,039 they have kind of these three guys. And then obviously 316 00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:09,440 we've talked about Kiva, but those three guys can can 317 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,279 win games for you. They're all winners, they're all leaders, 318 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,720 they're all scorers, and so when you have that, it 319 00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,639 just makes it really hard on the defense. 320 00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:21,879 Speaker 1: It really does. Is truly a big three. Excited to 321 00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:24,240 see it. But are you concerned though? Are you concerned 322 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,120 about the three point shooting? 323 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,919 Speaker 2: I seed on a lot Ah's they can't shoot this battle? 324 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: What's up with this? Are you concerned about the threes? Mark? 325 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,679 Speaker 3: I mean, it's interesting because the three is such a 326 00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:39,399 big part. 327 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 4: Of the game today. 328 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: But you know, I watched that Arizona Florida game and 329 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,279 Arizona only took five threes in that game. 330 00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they won. 331 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,679 Speaker 3: They beat the Arena national champs, took five threes and 332 00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:59,639 won the game. And so I don't think, you know, 333 00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,360 I don't think b Yu needs to do that. I mean, 334 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:06,440 it's gonna be about what teams give them, right. I 335 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320 certainly think they're capable. I think Richie's one of the 336 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,759 great three point shooters in the country. A j and 337 00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,879 Robert are solid, MoU Davis has shown that he could 338 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,320 shoot the three. And you got guys coming off the 339 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,799 bench like Mahilo and Kostach and Russ and those, So 340 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,159 those guys, I think they've got the three if they 341 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,559 need it. But if you can, if you if teams 342 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,000 are trying to take that away and you can get 343 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,320 to the ram at score, I mean, why do that. 344 00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:33,600 So so I'm not yet concerned it hasn't been great. 345 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:36,519 I agree part of it is because Richie just hasn't 346 00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:37,399 been quite right. 347 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:38,879 Speaker 4: And he had the flu against Villanova. 348 00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: But I think the three will still be a big 349 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,679 part of what Kevin Young likes to do. But I 350 00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:46,840 don't think we're going to see maybe thirty or forty 351 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,000 a game like we have in the past. Maybe twenty 352 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,399 to thirty, And I think that'll be just fine because 353 00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:56,080 it's more about what your particular team is good at 354 00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:59,679 and if you're good at it, then then you should 355 00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:02,440 be sixcessful either way, and so we'll see. I think 356 00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,159 AJ's three is gonna develop really nicely. He's got a 357 00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:08,919 beautiful shot, and like I said, some of these guys 358 00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:12,120 off the bench I think need to kind of step 359 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,000 up and be more of a threat and be better. 360 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,440 But but you know it's you're not You're not wrong 361 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,639 to kind of identify it. But I don't think this 362 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200 team necessarily has to live or die by the three. 363 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,559 And I like that because a lot of times if 364 00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:28,279 you're a three oriented team, eventually one night you're gonna 365 00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:31,879 shoot bad and then you're kind of you're kind of out. 366 00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: Of it for that game. 367 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 3: So it's nice to have the three, but I like 368 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,679 to not have to rely rely on it exclusively. 369 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:40,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like did you bring up that point because 370 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320 I think back to last year, the teams before before 371 00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:45,799 Kevin young Guy had the Mark Bop team. Some of 372 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,480 those guys that you live by the three, you die 373 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,279 by the three. Ryu is what it's known as. But hey, 374 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,080 sometimes you need a little midiaction get to the basket, 375 00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:55,759 and you got the athleticism. Let's go back to something 376 00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:57,759 you just said though, I think Richie is one of 377 00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:01,240 the best three point shooters in the country. You're very 378 00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:04,319 declared of about that. Why that statement on Richie being 379 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,000 one of the best in the country of threes. 380 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,799 Speaker 3: Well, I mean the numbers from his career kind of 381 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:11,440 backed that up. 382 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 4: Obviously. 383 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 3: He was an elite shooter from the free throw line, 384 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,400 from the field, and from the three. Last year one 385 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,880 of you know, one of a few people in the 386 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,720 country to shoot the percentages that. 387 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 4: He shot, and so clearly he's good. He's worked on 388 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,799 it too. 389 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 3: I mean, he's he was much better last year than 390 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,079 he was the year before, and I. 391 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 4: Think he'll be much better this year. 392 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 3: With I think he'll have more freedom, more opportunities, more 393 00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:39,400 uncontested threes. With AJ and Rob on the floor, I mean, 394 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680 they're just it's just going to open up the floor 395 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,400 a little bit more for Richie. But yeah, I mean, 396 00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,240 for whatever reason, Richie has struggled in the exhibition games, 397 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,079 and like I said, he had the flu Leonoval though 398 00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:52,240 he played fine, I mean, he. 399 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,279 Speaker 4: Played played decent in that game. 400 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: But I just think that's you know, Richie has a 401 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,400 future and a big part of that future is to 402 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,839 be like a maybe a Sam Merrill type guy and 403 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,039 in in the NBA. 404 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 4: And uh. 405 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 3: In order for him to be that kind of guy, 406 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,720 he's he's got to shoot well from the three. I 407 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,519 think he will. I think he has that in him. 408 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:19,119 But again, super super early this season. We'll see how 409 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,839 it plays out. But the least guy I'm worried about 410 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,680 ron is Richie. I mean, I just know the player 411 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,359 that he is and how hard he works. You know, 412 00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:30,160 if he needs to figure something out, he'll do it, 413 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,000 and he'll do it quickly. 414 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Richie will figure it out very fast. You're just 415 00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:34,279 good on the fly. 416 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,599 Speaker 4: That's aw. 417 00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,519 Speaker 2: He's going to be an NBA player. He will be 418 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,279 playing at the next level, no doubt. How long do 419 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,200 you think he continues to hit these free throws. He's 420 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,240 really good at free throws. Mark he doesn't like to 421 00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:45,759 miss him. 422 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,759 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think Richie can maybe give a 423 00:18:51,799 --> 00:18:52,559 couple of makes to. 424 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,039 Speaker 4: Aj aj struggle that. 425 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 3: Uh. 426 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,759 Speaker 4: Again, I'm not worried about Ajink. 427 00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 3: He'll be just fine from the free throw line. But 428 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,079 even that just goes to show you around man, even 429 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,160 the greatest players in the world get a little nervous, 430 00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:09,680 and it's you know, it's his first game a lot 431 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,000 of fans TV, and a lot of times you can 432 00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:15,279 kind of hide the nerves in a lot of ways, 433 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:17,400 but when you're standing by yourself with the free throw line, 434 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,160 that can kind of show itself a little bit. But 435 00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:22,680 he'll be fine from the free throw line, and he 436 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:26,119 has to be because AJ is gonna shoot, you know, 437 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:30,200 at least six to ten maybe more free throws a 438 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,799 game with how he plays, and so that'll be a 439 00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:35,920 big part of AJ's game is just making free throws. 440 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,160 And yeah, Richie maybe could give him a couple of 441 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,960 little tips because Richie's as good. 442 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 4: As there is on the free throws. 443 00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:46,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, AJ, get with Richie after practice. Okay, go with 444 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,400 the top kag. 445 00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: You know he could teach that in Richie Ago will 446 00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:52,319 teach you, you know, how to get maybe some good buckets, 447 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,000 more driving. 448 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,559 Speaker 1: You know. You guys switch off. That's what you do. 449 00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:56,519 Speaker 2: They like to play one on one in streaming, Mark, 450 00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,680 that's what this team seems to like to do. You know, 451 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,319 all the time, turn out over till tomorrow. They're going 452 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,480 to be taking on holy Cross, heavily favorite in this game. 453 00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: Obviously. 454 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: You know that the premier matchups in the non commerce 455 00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:09,559 these are the games you're supposed to get right, get better. 456 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,160 What would you like to see from this team tomorrow? 457 00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:15,559 Obviously Villanova is a better opponent, but what are the 458 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:17,400 little things they need to do? What would you like 459 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,759 to see maybe from maybe some people like Dawson Baker, Mohilow, 460 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,759 maybe some other people that haven't been showcase yet on 461 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,960 this team tomorrow and holy Cross going forward to build momentum. 462 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, even the exhibition games and obviously 463 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,480 that first game we're against a pretty high level competition, 464 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,640 and so they're just tough games. And what you'd like 465 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,200 to have now is, with all due respect to holy Cross, 466 00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:49,079 you know, it's the game that BAU should have an 467 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,160 easier time with anyway at home, and so when you're 468 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,559 playing against really good teams, it's harder to run your stuff. 469 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,599 Speaker 4: Teams are better at those things away, they rush. 470 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: You a little bit and you have to kind of 471 00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,799 tighten your rotation because you got to win the game, right, 472 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,839 And so what I expect to see against holy Cross 473 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,359 is just for chance for Byu to you know, have 474 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,759 a little bit better environment to just kind of figure 475 00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:22,519 out chemistry, run your stuff, get more comfortable with the 476 00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:25,599 offensive and defensive sets and be able to have success 477 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,799 against those teams. So that'll give you confidence next time 478 00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:30,720 you have to play a really good team. And the 479 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:33,680 other part of it is hopefully you have a little 480 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,160 bit of a cushion where you can then feel free 481 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,640 to play some of those other guys that we've talked 482 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,039 about that I think really need some time on the floor, 483 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,240 because that starting five is super solid, as good as 484 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,119 I've ever seen in my life at BYU, and really 485 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,079 one of the best starting fives in the country as 486 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,119 far as I'm concerned. 487 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,839 Speaker 4: But they need help. They need to find a few guys. 488 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:57,039 Speaker 3: That can really help that group and come and be 489 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,759 able to come in the game and help, you know, 490 00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,839 help could keep the momentum going and contribute. And whether 491 00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:07,480 it's Mihailo or maruss Or or Dawson Baker or kostitch 492 00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:12,279 or or or Brody Keselowski, whoever down the list, Boop, 493 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,759 they need to kind of figure out who it's going 494 00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:17,519 to be. Their their guys that are going to come 495 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,920 off the bench and really contribute. And this is a 496 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,400 great opportunity for all those guys when they do get 497 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,799 minutes to make their case and say to coach young. Hey, 498 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,119 I deserve to be on the floor. I need to 499 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,960 be on the floor. The team's better with me on 500 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,960 the floor. And in these really these first few exhibition games, 501 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,880 in the Villanova game, I haven't really seen guys step 502 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,720 up and do that, and so this will be a 503 00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:43,039 better chance for them to get some time and to 504 00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:45,079 show what they can do. I thought, I think, I 505 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,839 think Boop has Boop has played played really well, but 506 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,319 other than that, I think, uh, the other guys have 507 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,160 been a little bit hit and miss. And so this 508 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,400 is the real opportunity for that second group to show 509 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,079 what they can do. And there's opportunities. I mean, that 510 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,880 was the whole my whole career was just when I 511 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,759 got a chance to play, I tried to do my 512 00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:08,359 best so that the coach would feel confident in having 513 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,680 me on the floor and trying to make the team better. 514 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:13,119 So if some of those guys can do that, because 515 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,440 that's that's kind of the only weakness I see on 516 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,640 this team is is is that depth in the second group. 517 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,319 I think there's a lot of good players that can contribute, 518 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,440 but I haven't really seen a lot of guys step 519 00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:27,640 up and make the case for themselves yet. 520 00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 4: So we'll see that these kind of games are good 521 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,160 for that getting a look at those kind of guys. 522 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely excited to see who's able to put their 523 00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:38,519 hand up, who will put their hand up cougarnation going forward. 524 00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:40,359 We all have our opinions, but that's all. He let 525 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,359 the good boys go play. 526 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,839 Speaker 2: And Kevin Young said after the Blue White game, who 527 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,000 put his hand up? You know he was the guy 528 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:48,240 that definitely, And that's what it is. You go play, 529 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,039 you go take account a coach undeniably. And i mean, look, 530 00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:54,759 the greatest story in BYU men's basketball history for me 531 00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,720 in the last what three to five seasons, will be 532 00:23:57,759 --> 00:23:58,319 Trace Steward. 533 00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,039 Speaker 1: And there's no one. 534 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: Else that convinced me I'm biased about it.
