THU POD @SpenceChecketts on NCAA Tourney action, BYU advances, Utah WBB tomorrow, Jazz/RSL latest + more

Thursday afternoon, five minutes past the hour, two o'clock.

It is a very March day.

It is about forty five degrees, very cloudy. It was a little chilly this morning, but heating up throughout the course of the weekend.

Could get some rain coming up on Saturday.

I speed ahead to next week where it actually might feel like spring fifties early in the week, sixties about Tuesday, then Wednesday, Thursday, seventy and seventy two before we dip back down coming up next weekend. I know that you tune into the show for the weather. That's why I bring it to you every single day. But what's going on. It is time for the drive on a Thursday afternoon, and as it is every single day, it is good to have you along for the riot Spence check.

It's behind the mic.

We are out and about today as March madness is going on. And if you're looking for a place to watch, we got you covered. We got you hooked up here as we're live today at the Crossroads Bar and Grill on the West Side, because that's how I roll. Porter can't relate to that, but Crossroads Bar and Grill. Here's the address, fifty five south Redwood Road. We've got our which van do we have out in front? Cynthia is a the mix van. It's a radio van. You can't

Great food.

It's one of the best food spots as far as the sports bar you're gonna find in.

The entire valley.

They show all UFC fights. They have pay per view events of course fight nights as well. Every March Madness game is going on right now. We'll give you a scoreboard update. If you're not looking for spoilers, then just be aware because I'm gonna hook you up with updates throughout the entire course of the show today. If you're unable to be in front of a television, if you're out at about in your vehicle, we'll let you know what's going on. VCU and BYU just barely tipped off.

You can watch that game on ESPN two.

Of course you can hear it here on the Home of the Utes, ESPN seven hundred, So we'll preview that. We'll talk the latest with the Utah men's basketball coaching change, as Alex Jensen was officially announced just a few days ago. Alex was in Indiana last night coaching the Dallas Mavericks.

One of their assistant coaches.

My brother and sister a Lot went down and said, hello, I got a picture of Alex up on the old Instagram page if you want to check that out. So, the latest with Alex Jensen, to the the latest with him filling out his staff, The latest with March Madness. The Utah Jazz Blue had last night, the Jazz One, what are we doing here? The Jazz Beat, the Wizards one twenty eight to one twelve. Now the Wizards have a virtually a two game lead on the Jazz for the worst record in pro basketball.

I know it's odd to talk about the Jazz like this.

It's not really anything that we've done very much in this market with a history of success in winning with our local pro basketball team. But that's not the deal and hasn't been the deal now for three years.

But the Jazz will be back.

In action coming up tomorrow as they welcome in the world champion Boston Celtics to the Delta Center for a seven to thirty tip time. It'll be a reunion of sorts for Danny Ainge or union of sorts for Will Hardy. We'll see who the Celtics decide to play. We'll see who the Jazz decided to play, because that's the deal in pro basketball. Ray Al Salt Lake a couple of days away for the next match from RSL, It's gonna

We'll see if they can keep up their winning ways.

No concrete news about these supposed reinforcements on the way I'm starting to get a little skeptical. I'm not sure or of the recent stretch where they've won a couple of games, A couple of matches over the past three have changed the plans. Of course, a lot of rumors about Diego Luna potentially being on the way out during the summer window. But RSL Dallas coming up on Saturday. That's going to be a seven to thirty first kick. You can watch it on Apple TV Big twelve Pro

The program, most of which we just covered.

The Boston Celtics, who will be in town coming up tomorrow night. We're sold today for six.

Point one billion dollars.

I believe Larry Miller paid what seven million dollars for the Jazz in the early eighties, so a decent ROI right finance guys who listened to the program the Boston Celtic six point one billion dollars they've been sold. So get to the latest with both local and national topics. Will keep you up to date on March Madness BYU now has.

Excuse me, VC, you just hit A three. It's VCU eight BYU six.

That's going to go back and forth. And if you want to watch the game, coming out to Crossroads Bar and Grill out here on the west side. It's fifty five ninety two South Redwood Road, right off the freeway, so if you're pretty centrally located, you can get to us in I don't know ten fifteen minutes and we'd love to see a great food, full bar. If you want some beers, if you want some cocktails. Again, it is a bar, so leave the kids at home. Twenty one and over. Only our first guest right out of

So we'll see what Pablo has to say about that.

I'm sure Andy Larson has some thoughts and he'll join us today on both the Jazz and Raal Salt Lakes. We'll bringing Andy today and then a preview tomorrow's Utah women's basketball game against Indiana. Good friend of the show, it's been a while though. Tyson Ewing will stop by. He's going to course call the women's game, and Tyson, good kid. He's been in the market for a while.

Good kid. He's a grown up, he's an adult.

But he'll help us get ready for the Utah women's game tomorrow taking on Indiana, and the winner of that game most likely will advance on to take on South Carolina, who is the best team in women's basketball and has been for a couple of years now. After that, we'll do a little sports court as we are often wont to do on a Thursday afternoon with our friends from

Come on by watch.

Some march madness, Grab some boneless wings, grab a modella, whatever, you want.

You're not a drinker. They've got, you know, water and soda.

So fifty five ninety two South Redwood Road, back in the Broadway Media studios is where we find the producer of this program who cannot relate to me out on the west side because he.

Is a snob. Porter Larson Well on a Thursday, Hello Porter, how are you.

Wow, says mister east Bench out there.

I'm out here, I'm out here on the west side. Cynthia got some bonus wings. Don't judge what's wrong with boneless wings.

Just since it's Cynthia.

I won't.

I won't say anything. I won't be aware. I won't be a wing elitist today on March Madness, for the first day of March Madness. Well, we've got good vibes today.

You did just say elitist, right, yes, yes, So I'm out here on the west side and you're in your cozy studio.

I don't want to hear your judgment.

Fair enough, fair enough, how your brackets so far?

Not good?

Not good.

I think a lot of folks are in that boat, or at least uh looking at it in that way. McNee State is up big on Clemson, right, now I did take high point in that one earlier. But yeah, the way the first day shakes out is kind of usually how it is. Just wait until the end of the evening see where you stand after for that and you might have a good idea but not great or early on.

Not great, not great, and you know, we'll kind of review some of the bracket stuff today. It is the madness of March. I'm looking for the BYU game. It's not even on TV. So we'll get that, get directified. We'll get that taken care of. All right, Bowler, our first guest, right out of the gates on a Thursday afternoon, Happy Thursday to you.

Game but you, Know washington sat a bunch of.

Different, players Including Rashawn holmes in addition To Chris. Middleton they just Received Chris middleton From milwaukee in the trade prior to the trade, deadline And washington had been. Playing actually, okay they swept the season series against The Denver. Nuggets The jazz sat lowry marketing for quote personal, reasons they incrementally Rested Walker, kessler who only played fifteen.

Minutes in his fifteen, minutes he took six.

Threes and it's kind of The jazz are simply trolling THE nba, like, oh you're gonna find us for sitting.

Players we're. Here here's how we're gonna.

Lose we're gonna let our seven foot or just shoot it like He's Ray allen From.

Yukon he only made one of the six.

Threes he only played fifteen, minutes but goodnight once again From Isaiah. Collier Collin sexton in only nineteen minutes was very. Efficient Kyle philipowski continues to show his skill set since about knockdown some shots off the. Bench it was a Good keyante game for the most. Part he had twenty on twelve. Shots and so, Unfortunately washington now has virtually a game and a half lead over The jazz for

Flag all, right we are live, today out and.

About if you want to come experience the badness In march with, us i'd encourage you to do it at fifty five ninety Two South Redwood. Road it's Called Crossroads bar And.

Menu they've got full bar, beers, cocktails and if you're not a, drinker they've got a team caried with water and soda and whatever you. Need our next guest knows a thing or two about this. Tournament he knows a thing or two about a lot of. Things, jazz, basketball old, westerns old, comedies Def, Leppard Craig, Bowler, Jack, sir how are you on A?

Thursday Hey, spence good good talk to, You. PALVIN a while.

It has AND i appreciate the. Time so before we get to the, Jazz i've said a couple of times this, WEEK i have fond memories of listening to the dolcid tones of. One Craig Bowler jack Call March madness games when this tournament rolls. Around, craig what are some of the fun memories that roll into your.

Mind oh, oh Man, Spence i'll make phone calls TO cbs and see IF i can't still come back for a, game but that's not going to. HAPPEN i, MEAN i had a blast thirteen, seasons thirteen years Of March. Madness so many games pop up in my. MIND i remember Buck nell The bison fourteen seed knocking Off, kansas the number three. Seed that was a wild Game Taco Bell. Arena Boise James worthy was my, analyst and all four games ended with a buzzer beater and it was the

Lot, yes it, does even though it's an exercise and futility trying to fill it. OUT i, Mean i'm already. SCREWED i Had louisville Beating auburn and they lost To creighton.

Today but you, Know, craig.

Let's stay in the space for a, moment because you know, ME i love, basketball And i've grown up around, it played it as long AS i. COULD i WISH i could have played in my whole. LIFE i, mean that's

Tears they were just.

Crying and there's something about the passion of this tournament, that, HONESTLY i don't think any other level of basketball. CAPTURES i don't exactly know. Why AND i love THE Nba, playoffs AND i LOVE nba basketball when players decide to show up and. Play but what is it about the tournament that you think inspires so much intensity and so much passion during these few weeks In march And, april.

You, know spends my first thought when you asked me that questions the last, bastion the last stronghold of still some purity of amateur athletics that still remain Some and that's not at all, Schools but like An american right that they lay it on the. Line you, Know Utah state will play, later and that probably has so much more meaning for some of those so for some of those, players and it does maybe others At auburn or you,

Stories B yu twenty FOUR vcu twenty, Two, craig this is gonna be a really really good. Game, Yeah AND i wonder what you make Of year, One Brigham young Under Kevin young not to be.

REDUNDANT i know most of.

Your attention is on jazz, hoops and we'll get to jazz hoops as they Show Danny ainge down in the CROWD byu guard from seventy.

Seven to eighty.

One he had a little bit of, Game, craig didn't he back in the, day.

Man Oh, man the drive the bucket Over notre With Notre dame and still, replayed, replayed. Replay that's another magical. Moment Danny ainge is a, gamer and you, know hopefully that gamesmanship and that just the way that the furnace burns with competitive. Nature hopefully that again and relates to what he's doing with the. Jazz beginning back to the B. Yu i've watched two games this year When i've been on the. ROAD dyu had a little bit of a. Slump they worked their way out of. It they do

BY us is making you, know it's made.

TURNS i mean they dominated the old days along With utah and the Old. Whack those are fun. GAMES i REMEMBER i called The Kevin nixon free quarter shot in The whack Turn ye and tip in By Van horn that that was just so iconic at the moment WHEN i was AT. Espn But i've been blessed to see some great, basketball But i've been blessed just to know some of these guys who are AGAIN i think represent the past and now we're into the future of where it's.

Level no, Doubt, craig since you Referenced Alex, jensen the news that everybody was kind of pining to hear or become, official did just that.

This he was introduced as.

The seventeenth head coach In utah men's basketball, history and you, know it's been really cool to. Hear like when The jazz were up In minnesota not too long, Ago gobert was asked about his years working With alex and gave a really just classy and it's What, Rudy it's Who rudy. IS i Know rudy takes a lot of, flak But rudy gave a really, classy detailed description of their time working.

Yes this was the right.

Move of, course you had a front row seat to watch the development Of Rudy gobert under the tutelage Of Alex, jensen and the majority of the credit always goes to the, player especially based off of the early returns From rudy when nobody knew if he was ever going to be able to turn into, anything and he puts in the, Work alex is by his side and now he's A hall of. Famer say what you want about, him he's

Well Right, Spence i'd say he's kind of a quiet. ASSASSIN i, mean is he, Boisterous, no but he gets the message. Across he's a hell of a. Coach he's a great, communicator AND i think he was the right guy at the right time For. Rudy kind of Brought rudy out of the, show let him know that he had the skill set if he put the work, in

You AND i know every single student UNDERGRAD i should, say at The university Of, utah they weren't even born When alex was playing For.

Rick, LIKE i get.

IT i understand that maybe the younger generation does not understand how much fun that. Was and you, know as you, Know,

Market oh my, Gosh, Well rick Was, rick as you, know. Unpredictable he you, know he was good in front of a. Microphone he was. Unpredictable but the one one thing that you knew What utah was always going to be as uber. Prepared they knew basketball back of their, Hand they knew every. Angle they were so well, coached just on the simple, Basics, spence as you, APPRECIATE i, know just as simple basics of,

It he was one of the most intriguing Men i've ever.

MET i, MEAN i can't even really define, him but his love for the game you can't. Question and he passed that along to The Andre, millers The Hano, mentalas The, doliaks The jensen's, RIGHT i, mean all those guys still kind of where you know. THAT i guess The rick manjaris brand right in the sense of just knowing the. Game and, man they were Just, harden those guys who got the job. Done maybe old, school Maybe hoo's your esque in some, ways but they weren't expected to go that.

Level one more thing, here then we'll end with some jazz, Stuff. Craig you, know now we wait to hear the news about What alex's staff is going to look, like AND i know there are conversations going on behind the. Scenes the hard part about making this a sports talk radio topic on The home of The utes Is utah basketball is still. PLAYING i mean they've accepted an invite to this new tournament called The College Basketball crown In. VEGAS

Them they're still.

Practicing so you kind of feel bad about the whole. Thing but you, know for, Me, craig If andre wants to. Come you make that. Happen, Okay so If Andre miller says he wants to be on the, bench you do. That but beyond, THAT i don't know that you need every single you that's ever played in the market to sit on the.

Bench and it feels like a lot of people are wanting.

That but as we await the, news what do you think that staff should look like to you Give alex the best chance of success as the head coach of The.

Utes, yeah that's a great. QUESTION i, MEAN i love the message or two WITH, aj but he's been more busy to. Answer but you, know we to be. Able we can't get his Wife natalie on Because shipray has all the. Answers She's she's going to be tremendous in that. Position for. Sure, yeah for sure you. Will she'll be.

Him all, right, bowler a few minutes, remaining Then i'll set you. Loose appreciate the time byus opened up a little bit of breathing. Room they've got a five point lead, now a couple of minutes left in the first, half thirty one to twenty.

Six we'll keep you up to.

Date so The Washington wizards rolling to town last night to take on The Utah, jazz and it is the ultimate example Of tanka. Palooza it's, look you're just never going to tell players to.

Lose you're never gonna tell. Coaches the coach to.

LOSE i get, it and, LOOK i keep reminding our listeners the bottom three teams all have the same, percentage so you don't have to be the worst. Team it's a weird thing to Ask jazz fans to understand dynamics like this because for basically forty, years we're used to mostly, winning AND i know this season has taken its. Toll but on the positive side of, things what are some

That what comes to mind Versus. WALKER i think that's real. Progress now they're using these last twelve thirteen games to let him experiment with the three point. Shot has not been successful at this, point But i've seen him in practice knock it down and he has some confidence with that. Shot game, time as you, know is much different different than practice. Time BUT i Think walker has really solidified himself around the. League COACHES i talked to, broadcasters, man

Right, Yeah and you, know part of this, plan just as any other plan in pro, basketball when you find yourself in the space The jazz find themselves.

In is simply needing. Luck it just is part of the.

Deal and you, know the teams that are in markets like, this that have built up winning teams over the course of, years have lucked themselves into A shay via a good trade Or apollo Ban caero because he was the number one overall, pick or A duncan and a A robinson in a Wimban yama if you're as lucky as The San Antonio, spurs or if You're, cleveland you're lucky That lebron happened to be born In. AKRON i, mean you have to have some, Luck, craig you, know like you

Show she wrote a really interesting piece last.

Week they got a lot of traction and the the you, know the gist of, it you, know the cliff notes as it were for you old people that used to cheat in college LIKE i, did is the last three years have been what The jazz are now calling a tear,

Year what are your thoughts on?

THAT i Think sarah's probably right on, target you, know as much as we all want to put w's and entertain the you know in the win, column you, know the, PLAN i think again is to Do Oklahoma city's, Done houston's, Done orlando's, done use the drafts or their best. Ability and but, Again, spence as you, said you still have to have the. Luck you, know you still have to be able to get What atlanta did last year to

D byu is going to take a double ditch lead into the locker room with a nice run the end of the half thirty nine to twenty. Eight Bringham young's open up a little space.

There so good for, Them, Greg thank, you.

Sir i'll let you go so you can watch the madness and enjoy the world Champ Boston celtics tomorrow.

Night they'll be there tomorrow. Night we just saw him ten days. Ago it seems like we played all these teams like in a, bunch Right. Spence at the end of the, Season i'd, say that's a whole other subject to THE nba. Schedule how that, WORKS i do not, Know but we're almost through.

It, yeah you've almost made a, buddy and you've earned a, vacation maybe a little, cabo maybe a little.

Guac who. Knows, craig but you've earned a. Vacation you're almost.

There, Buddy i'll take.

Both.

Thanks talk to All.

Craig, Bowler JACK Tv voice of The Utah. Jazz we are live today At Crossroads bar And, grill fifty five ninety Two South Redwood. Road we'll get back to some college hoops and SOME nba coming up in a. Bit we'll also get you ready for Tomorrow's Utah utah women's basketball.

Game they are in THE ncaa tournament taking On.

Indiana Tyson ewing will stop, by but let's do a little. Soccer on A, thursday the head coach Over al Sau, Lake Pablo mashdauenni on A thursday, Afternoon pop's Happy, thursday?

Buddy are we Doing Happy?

Thursday spent's doing, great, Man just winding down the week in preparation for this game Against.

Outs there you, go and we'll get to that coming up a little.

Bit you're back home after a successful road trip down To houston two to.

One you guys get the.

Results so you take all three on the, road and you get two goals from two players that folks are counting, on and you're counting on two to carry a lot of water for your. Club With diego And diego both grabbing the, goals what sort of pressure does that take off the convert sation about your nines when you can get goals from other.

Places, yeah, NO i think we talked about it last. Week you, KNOW i think with our, nine they're they're doing a good job and again not having a lot of, experience it's always it's it wouldn't be fair to put so much pressure on.

Them and And diego And Diego i've both been performing well between the boxes and it was really just that killer instinct in the box and spent you, know quite a bit of time.

With those two last. Week are coaches involved and making sure that they're always arriving in the box and making sure that our nine always had two players on either side that could finish as. Well and to be, fair they both took their chances really, Well diego And. Diego but with that they're also building in confidence in our, link, play in our in in the way we're, attacking and

GROUP i would be remiss IF i didn't ask.

You AND i know this is not necessarily your seat on the, bus but every TIME i kick the tires on internet, rumors and internet rumors typically bring a lot of, Truth, pablo as you. Know so it just it feels like everybody continues to pontificate on these possibilities of reinforcements on the, way but we haven't heard anything. Official can you illuminate us at all as far as where we're at in this?

Process, yeah, yeah we're, again we're we're identifying a couple of players and have had a conversation with a player in.

Terms of possibly coming hopefully sooner than. Later and again it was a really good. Chat and obviously the thing With dispense is so unique is like there's so many things that have to line, up AND i think we've talked about this in the, Past, right they got to get the release from the club who's willing to engage in the, negotiations so you get the player on. Board that's only half of. That the other half is making sure that the club is the wants the part ways as,

SUCCESSFUL i can excuse.

ME i can tell you that you're not divulging too much Because kurt essentially said the same thing a week. AGO i just know that some fans are a little bit anxious to see this actually get. Done and, look you want to two of the last three, right and ultimately the results are still still. Coming but IF i could follow, up, uh who are these?

Players what are their? Names who do they play?

For just.

Kidding are you?

Trying are you trying to get them across the line prior to the window closing In april next?

Month, yeah, no for, sure that's that's obviously the. Games the sooner the. Better and LIKE i, said you, know usually when you when you signed the, player there's usually a three week waiting period in order to get all the paperwork across the line and the visa and all that. Stuff so you, know Again i'm optimistic it's going to get.

Meantime you, KNOW i know a lot of THE rsl fans who listen to these interviews don't like it WHEN i do a basketball soccer, parallel but just, anecdotally you, know there are these stories about how The jazz used to use their head, Coach Quinn snyder when trying to attract players to play for, them and it's the front.

Line what what does that look.

Like that's a great, Question, Spence uh, no thank. You, so, yeah we we've done a pretty good job secure in most of the guys that that that we've gone after in the in the past few. Years AND i think our process is pretty. Good so currently it's it's It's kurt presenting an overview of the, club how ownership ties, in you, know the different clubs that the, ownership you,

What the people are like at the, games and how and how hungry they are for wins and and how you, know how great a fans they, are and then showing them the soccer, side which is also really important for the, guys and so just trying to tie it all.

Together but my role is is basically an evolved version of the.

Whiteboard ah, okay SEE i find that stuff.

Fascinating i'd be really interested to kind, of you, know see exactly how that.

UNFOLD i, mean every front office.

Does it differently synergistically with a you, know relationship with the coaching. Staff it's but it does seem like you guys really are a group that makes decisions after putting your heads. Together, Right this is not some. Monolith it's not one person calling the. Shots.

Correct, yeah AND i forgot to add and then, afterwards, Uh Jason, ull we'll ask them really pointing, questions so really observe the player and ask questions. Basically you, know yesterday it was a couple of soccer questions and a couple of personal, questions, right just to kind of just tie it all. Together and so you, KNOW i think the three of, us, uh you, know we've been around for for quite a, while but we all have different

It's go.

Time and it's just now about getting over the. Line and that's we're really pleased with the interview we had yesterday and and now it's just leaving it to the gods to make sure that it happens.

When it when it comes to the potential of adding a, nine, specifically how much of the conversation entails the creativity of you, Know diego And diego And dom as. Well and fortunately it to be without a couple of those, guys and we'll get to coming up this.

Weekend but if you are a.

NINE i would imagine you want to know, that you, know the players providing the service have the ability to be creative and put you in a good. Spot so how much of the conversation is, like, look this is exactly who you're playing, with this is how we foresee your, role and this is what these guys can.

Do, Yeah, no we.

Talk we talk a lot about the the supporting cast as, well and h in. Particular you, Know diego has got an unbelievable uncanny ability to you, know find passes between the. Lines you, know the fall he put in For forrester Against seattle was a fantastic. Path so he's he's got a great. Eye And diego is really good at, combining, right so, dribbling finding a one to, two and one of the things that this individual was talking, about he likes to combine around the box and so but he

The three of.

Us but you, know the conversation went really well yesterday And i'm really optimistic that we can get this one across the Line.

Conker Calf Nations league.

Tonight i'm sure there are literally three people listening to the show THAT i have any clue what that. Is Andy larson's one of, THEM Us. Panama, okay so we will See diego tonight and then dom is With poland For World cup. Qualifiers let me start With, Diego and you, know you're a guy that played In World, cups and we have players that have played FOR rsl in the past that have Been World cup.

Players and from my vantage, POINT i.

Always just observed this extra level of confidence when you know they were able to get a call. Up and you, KNOW i can remember When kyle had his FIRST us men's national team call up and it was A Gold cup team and he killed it and that led to A World cup call up where he was a starter except For, belgium, Right and we're all mad that he

Up, YEAH i think that's a great. Point you, know in, particular when you have when you're in a camp with

Teams so Against, houston you Had dom out right and you Had diego out, Left diego. Centralized at least that's according to the lineup. SLIDE i know it's nuanced and you move, around, okay but that's just the lineup slide that have in front of.

Me so what do you?

DO i mean the old, monikers next man? Up what's it going to look like with those two on international?

Duty, yeah so you, KNOW i think we're gonna we're going to try something a little bit, different just because AGAIN i think What dom does is very, unique AND i think What diego does is very, unique AND i don't think we have light for like within our. Group so you, know what we want to make sure is that we put players in the in positions that that they're comfortable. With so tactics don't work if the player

TRAINING i, wonder And i'm not saying this IS i would never tell you how to do your, job BUT i. Wonder So Pablo luiz is back and healthy, now essentially after almost two years, out and you, know maybe out of, side out of.

Mind he you, know is a.

Central holding, mid but you've got two of the best in the lead lee there Could pablo be somebody that maybe you utilize a little bit more in the attack when you have players called up or hurt if that makes.

Sense, yeah you, Know and and just to be completely, transparent you, know that's where we've Played pablo a couple of games last year Against miami And Saint, louis and then you know he played again there this year Against San, jose and the one THING i would say With pablo is that he is world class when he's got time and space.

In front of.

Him you, KNOW i think We're pablo's struggles because he's not real comfortable with.

It it hasn't done in.

A long, time is playing with players all around. Him in other, words when he was playing as a pivot for, us he'd receive it off in the pockets so that he can turn and face and once he's facing the game with, time he is. Lethal and so what we've been working on is is how do, we given our game, model how do we put him in these positions to be THE x?

Factor?

Right and and you, KNOW i think we're still working through. That but but the other part, is you, know what we ask from our tens is getting in the buy and that's something that is doesn't come naturally To. Pablo so we're working through that as. Well and SO i think it's been a tough you, know a couple of years For, pablo but BUT i believe, that you, know he's got the desire and we see a possibility With pablo playing in those attacking, positions you, know moving.

Forward so we haven't talked a Ton pablo about your back, line because it feels like you have a lot of depth back, there but it also feels like at times the continuity isn't necessarily where you want it to be based off of some of the you, know a line of adjustments you. Make but but, again it's good to have. Depth how do you how do you land on the four that you want to make sure that that continuity is locked?

In, yeah you, know sometimes it's and then there's there's a term for, this but it's it's escaped me at the. Moment but when you have so many, options sometimes you don't know what the best back four is or the most cohesive back for right because you have so many, options you're, like, well let's try. This you, know sometimes when you have four guys that you, go these are

But we hung on to the.

Result you, know the game before In San diego it felt really, loose and SO i think we're getting. CLOSER i don't think it has been, solidified and hopefully this game at the weekend will help us continue to make the best decision for the group as far as who those four primary players, are whilst whilst them understanding that they have to maintain the standard because we have four guys behind him that are equally as.

Talented is And i'm not. Trying i'm trying to probably honestly don't.

KNOW i just have the stats up and is it true That lachlan hasn't played a minute this?

Year is?

What what's? What what gives?

There?

Yeah, NO i think it's interesting Because locke played.

In uh both championship.

Games, okay so NO mls you minises?

Yet?

Okay, Yeah so so we just split the groups and so then when we got back to the regular, season you, know some of the guys who's been playing really, Well don was playing well and Obviously diogo and then we Got diego and so then it's it's trying to find. Time but but AGAIN i think he's had a really good week in training and so you know he should he should see some action this.

Weekend all, right, Man, well look go get. Him always cheering for.

You glad you're that you're back, home and obviously if you need, anything reach Out budd'd be.

You, know playoff format that there is totally good.

Sports probably to have a one and done tournament with sixty four teams across the, NATION i guess sixty eight now it.

Is it's just COMPELLING.

Sure it Is are you a bracket?

Guy does the?

Trip have you do a? Bracket do you do it with friends or?

Family?

Yeah ever SINCE i was a. KID I i THINK i started my first bracket WHEN i was. Twelve. Yeah so this is the twenty first Annual angulars And March Madness Bracket.

Challenge oh so you run a. GROUP i WANT i run a. Bracket.

YEAH i run a group with my friends and family and so, on and it is it's. Fun one YEAR i won against the teachers in my school that in high.

School.

Nice that was to get like a bundle of ones from all my all my, teachers and that was that was.

GREAT i don't. KNOW i love this time here.

Porter did you get Invited Tandy's Bracket challenge this?

Year?

Negative?

Yeah uh now let me check my. Phone what gives man? Said facebook.

Invites i'm still doing like this old two thousand era. Website, okay if you've got a, bracket eye can put it in last minute for.

YOU i Have Louis Obeedian. Aubora they lost this.

Morn how many people in The Andy larson bracket.

Challenge, uh that's a good. Question the maximum in the website he uses. Fifty so that's that's where we're, at like usually around.

There you, know let me get your thoughts on just a couple of college hoops storylines that we'll get to The jazz And LITTLE. Rsl first of, all B YU vcu B yu pulling away a little. Bit it's, funny, man there have been Times i've watched THIS byu team And i'm, like that's as deep as any team that we've seen In.

Provo AND i mean, EVER i mean.

Truly obviously The Big twelve brings different, Challenges but what do you make of year one B yu Under Kevin.

Young i'm really.

IMPRESSED i mean it is a pro style OFFENSIVE nba style, offense which means that you, KNOW i recognize the style of wall that they're going, for AND i think they are hitting those.

Marks you.

KNOW i think it took a while when they first started A Big twelve play to really kind of get used to the style of play of what could.

Work and couldn't.

Work BUT i think they figured out that they do have to use their depth a little, bit that they have to use kind of their three big, men you, know kind of mix and match depending on who the matchup.

Is and then you, KNOW i.

Think, Honestly Jego demons figured out some a little bit out where he Has he's able to move on the floor a little bit. More you're, SAYING i think some real game to game development from. Him not that he's an, amazing you, know player at the collegiate level, yet BUT i think he's a deserving starter in a way that he may not have been two months. Ago and then you, KNOW i Think Richie saunders has figured something. OUT i think just the pace in space they play with.

Does remind me of THE nba game a.

Lot and then have been impressed with their ability to stick with teams defensively in their best. Performances so, yeah you, KNOW i think they're really good. TEAM i think they're probably better than a sixth. SEED i have them winning Against wisconsin in my personal bracket BECAUSE i just do think that this is a good team with some pretty good players on.

IT i excuse, ME i actually think they match up better With wisconsin than they do AGAINST. Vcu but right now they're showing, that and, look there's plenty of time, left BUT byu was up fifteen and earlier, Today i'm watching The Louisville creighton game and they showed a stat that is wild teams that are up fifteen in the first round are one hundred and ninety one to oher since nineteen Ninety so it looks like they're gonna kind of.

Year but you can see why pro scouts like him can't.

Ya, YEAH i, mean, look there's there's no one else in the class and in most, classes with the intersection of passing and height and size that he, has, right and we when you see those players in THE nba they are the NBA's elite, players whether That's Luka, dancic whether that's Shake, Gilgess, alexander whether THAT'S i, mean you just are looking for height and playmaking to lead your offense because that.

Allows you to ping passes all over the floor and get open shots for everybody every time down the.

Floor and and so that being, said you, know, yeah the three point shots not. There it has been, today by the. WAY i think he's three or four in this, game twenty seven percent for the.

Year and then like the ability the wiggle isn't.

There the ability to beat defenders off the, dribble the ability to deal with a contested, lane the ability to deal with the defender on his hip is not, there and frankly isn't even. Close so in order for him to be a GOOD nba, player AND i don't think he would, be you, know year, one rookie, year he will really.

STRUGGLE i think he is a.

Project but if he can improve one of those two, skills then he can be a really valuable role. Player if he improves, BOTH i think he can be an actual star in THE, nba you, know like a, again one of those kind of great players THAT i mentioned maybe not.

At luca, level but like a lead ball handler in the.

League so but then you, know if he only gets a shot and doesn't get the ball, handling maybe he's More Joe. Inglesy if he's gets a ball handling but not the, shot maybe he's Like Kay, landerson you, know like those players are still.

Pretty useful To, skiddy.

Right, Yeah and SO i don't THINK i would draft him in that top. TEN i think that's probably a little bit too, high but in the ten to twenty, Range i'd certainly consider.

It you Think richie has played his way Into big twelve Most Improved player of The. Year and you, KNOW i think the first what surprised me the first TIME i Saw Richie saunders play in person is he's legitimately six.' five he has good size for. A guard he has great elevation on. His jumper he shoots a, jump shot not a. SET shot i love the fact that he's

INVITE nba I do i.

SEE some nba?

Potential there, and look he's, he's old, Right like so that's always the problem with by he prospects is you're dealing with a guy who's probably not.

Going to develop too much more from what.

He, is yeah, Good point AND the nba teams worry, about that and if you look at, the analytics like you should really avoid those guys unless they do have. Big PRODUCTION but I Think ritchie sanders works in kind Of.

A sam merrol sort. Of way he was also old coming Out of utah eight.

Like that he has a you know kind of ways he can contribute TO the nba game, right away and that he, can shoot and that he does work his butt, off defensively, you KNOW and i think that's kind of an underrated part of his game. As Well kevin young compares Him To, alex caruso who's one of the best

A second round pick.

From somebody but, you know that's certainly a lot higher than what we were thinking of The just hunters coming into.

THE year byu at this point pulling away fifty six thirty NINE.

Over vc you will keep you up to date on.

That game let's stay in the, college space Because the University of utah announcement became. A Reality, alex jensen seventeenth head Coach in utah men's. Basketball history over the past Week the Jazz, Roin minnesota rudy was asked.

ABOUT him I thought rudy gave a.

Great answer We've Heard, Walker Kessler, will hardy a lot of guests on my show talk about having that front row seat To watch Alex help. Rudy, develop obviously the bulk of the credit goes to. The Player but i've talked to you about. This, Before man rudy's. ROOKIE year i can remember watching JUST going i, don't, know MAN like i, don't Know and rudy worked his tail off

The, You YEAH and i Think that rudy instance IS such a good example of what he was good at is one kind of developing a relationship with the player.

So that he Really, trusted rudy REALLY, trusted.

Aj, right yeah.

For sure and that meant THAT when, Aj, said hey we don't want you to work on your offensive game. At all we, want, you know we rather than develop your three, point shot you're gonna be developing your, screen

The.

Game, Right LIKE so I Give alex jenson actually a ton of credit For How rudy gobert turned out to be a real force IN. The NBA and i think that is something that is replicatable and something you can sell to recruits that the you is like.

Again kind of In A kevin young sort, Of, Way hey i've worked with the.

NBA's best i can develop you into the, you know into the player that you want. To be there's a path THERE that i think is is harder for a harder case to make For a quake smanth or.

Even a Leary kris kovak who WAS an nba.

Assistant coach but with some pretty bad teams and didn't have that level of success on his res, Me right, so yeah, YOU know i think it's a good hire. FOR youth i think it's probably the best one they could have possibly. Realistically Made and i'm interested to see how, they do, YOU know i think from a program point, of view, you know and and they were working to

It's as good as they could.

Have done do, you remember off the top of your head your final four who you picked to go to the.

FINAL four i had the most boring final four of, all time which is top four.

Number one seeds had all four ONE seeds.

I did and you, know, WHAT like i think there is a real gap between the top four and what goes.

Comes below and you look On, kem palm, For, example.

Yeah that there is a clear gap in the net ratings between the first four and what and the number, two seeds number three seeds and, So ON and i just think that those four teams.

Have separated themselves and are most likely to.

Make it and, you, know, like yeah probably at some point one of these number one seeds, gets UPSET but i don't really know at what stage and, by WHO because i think they should be favored to win all of those games that they play by at least.

Five, Points Yeah and ken actually made that point on the show that there actually is a large gap between the top teams and then the.

Next tier so, we'll see we'll keep you up.

TO date i think it's the First time i've ever, done that though picked complete scratch number one seeds in the.

FINAL four, I mean.

I was I Picked.

Duke Houston then I've Got texas Tech And Michigan state texas Three And michigan state so.

To two but when you fill out, a bracket you Know this.

Cinderella stories upsets, are fun But typically, Elite eight, final four the cream.

Does, rise YEAH and i think there's real Cool like duke. Is, awesome yeah and we'll see what Happens With. Cooper flag but even, without him they played so well that in, the Tournament like florida's really. Really good i've been really Impressed with houston. This year they were actually my pick to win. It, all uh just with the, athleticism there, You Know and i'm Just and auburn Has Probably national player Of the Year And, Johnny GROUP like i think that's it's just a clear top four that has.

Differentiated themselves.

You know it is such a, fun tournament and if you juxtapose it to how painful it's been this year watching our pro, basketball team it's just been fun to like be reminded of teams that are serious about winning in care and, out passion like the. First four, Last night american loses their star player jacks up his knee postgame, press conference the coach and the plays are just, in tears, you know and it just you just don't find that type of passion in pro basketball.

MUCH anymore i.

Mean certainly Not, in march when you know half of literally half OF the nba stars are sitting and maybe more than half of the teams aren't playing, for, ANYTHING right i, do think, YOU know i go back to last year when the tournament was At The delta center and you saw that emotion, up, close right like what it Meant for Kansas and Samford on samford to get that game winning block that was incorrectly called a foul at.

And DONE and i LOVE the, nba playoffs don't get. Me WRONG and i can't wait for, you know LATER spring. Nba basketball but we'll move over into the space And the. Jazz Now And sarah todd's in front of the show and she does a really, good job and she's a, good rider she's a good. Media member she asked. Great QUESTIONS so i don't want this to come A like i'm knocking on her, at all but the, whole, like, hey guys what we've been doing for three years is actually.

Tearing down, the house and now.

We're ready to build the house three years after you move On from Gobert and Mitchell and Bogdanovich and royce and your head coach leaves and your general. Manager Leaves like i'm sorry to, be cynical but the rebuild started when you moved on from the bulk of your roster and your coach AND.

Your gm that's just.

My, OPINION look i to, whatever EXTENT and i think you are right to whatever extent that you don't like, that opinion you should blame the people in the front office Of The.

Utah jazz and THAT'S why i Want, To, yes yes.

It's clear it's a MESSENGER for i think it's it's really valuable to have that front office point of view. OUT there, i MEAN and i hear from of those same, things, too right like that they.

Feel that this is still part of.

The teardown and, YOU know i think that's Frustrating for jazz fans who, YOU know i think watched the last two seasons and were confused about why the team was staying in, The middle and we're confused why not why more trades, weren't made and why they were so happy kind of being in that nine and tense spot in both of those seasons when clearly.

More should have.

Been, done now, you know props to them for really embracing the tank, this, Year, RIGHT like i think it is ultimately the right move for the franchise to try to get a franchise changing player rather than a prospect Like Of.

Cody williams but.

It didn't have to be, this way and, YOU know i do think they that is maybe the biggest piece of criticism you can throw In the jazz front, office direction is that the rebuild the teardown has taken too long and kind of left them in this position where we are in, year Three since Donovan and rudy and the prospects that they have to show for are IN that B or C TIER.

B yu now has a thirteen point lead with nine to fifty five left in.

The second.

So the other Thing that sarah's piece kind of, you know intimated as, a possibility, AND look i nobody will be more excited if we're all sitting down on lottery night And the jazz, grab one then it's like here, we, Go Right cooper flag for our listeners and may not know reclassified he should be a senior in. High school

But what do you make of? THAT potential i think it's.

An option, For him, AND look i, think that, you know kind of continuing the teardown is more likely if they Don't Get, cooper, Flag, right like if you truly don't get A Franchise chining cross back then you're really.

Learned is that.

That's nearly impossible to do if you don't already have a star on.

The, roster yeah.

And as MUCH as I, love lowry he's because one of THE things i try to do on the show is look at teams that maybe two three years ago were where the jazz are at that are playing. Well now and the problem With like Detroit is kid. Is awesome the problem with, you know Making the orlando Parallel is polo. Is AWESOME and i could keep going Shay, with okac but they just don't have that dude on the roster, right now.

Right right and, you know, And again lowry is a really, Good, players like, you know he hasn't played that well, this SEASON but i think, there's realistic, YOU know i think there's a good chance.

He'll just get back to kind of all star form in the years.

To come but like, even, then yeah he's not, a distributor he's not. A playmaker he's not he's a, you know, a finisher to use. His nickname and so he needs to be set up by. His teammates he's he's not really making his teammates better in any real way other. Than, spacing yeah and So the jazz need someone Like A

PERCENT defense i was, gonna say it's, JUST like i think there are some things to Like.

ABOUT kyante i.

Really DO and i don't want to Sound like i'm constantly cracking, on HIM but i, YOU know I just i don't mean to sound high brow, about BASKETBALL but i just think most people that sit down and watch basketball watch the ball and watch the shots to. Go in if you Watch k kyanty, on defense there are five to ten moments every night or you're, just, like dude what are? You doing do you not know what you're supposed?

To do are you not?

Trying hard it is fun.

To Watch will hardy's reactions during.

Those, MOMENTS sure i will.

Say THAT like i think the coaching staff is probably lower.

On him than the.

Fans, are YEAH and i may be in kind of the middle on THAT where.

I think his last month has actually. Been better, you know like.

We, TALKED about i made this comparison on the show the. Other day but, you Know If jordan clarkson's a four out of, ten DEFENDER which i don't know, if that let's say that's what. He is, You know kiante at the beginning of the season was probably one out, of ten And now kiante is probably a three out.

Of ten and maybe he can get to four, or five and, you know you hope that.

He can but it does limit his ability to play in a, starting lineup to be in at the end of games against good teams If the jazz are really trying to. Win games, and again maybe, that develops maybe. We'll see but his mentality has been so scoring focused and offensively focused that it will Change a it will require a mindset change for him to be kind of the level player he.

Wants TO so i know that you know a lot, of guys a lot of, people men women. Or whatever i'm a fan of all that do this for. A living sometimes just zig when everyone else. Is zagging and So when Wam and yama, was available you'd hear basketball hipsters, be, LIKE hey i kind Of like scoot and, you're, like dude just don't.

Do.

That okay are we in a scenario now where you believe It's clearly cooper head and shoulders above? Everybody Else Does dylan harper move the needle for you?

At all move?

The needle he's really he's clearly the second. Best Prospect but Cooper is if you ASK thirty, nba gms they're.

Getting thirty cooper.

Flag picks like it's it's not even a question because of his production at At at duke has been incredible this year at. Age eighteen you don't like and just barely, for nineteen but like is. It's incredible he's so good and has advanced his game offensively in a number of really. Interesting ways, you know kind of the worry before was that he may not be able to be a number one.

BALL handler i.

Think those worries have been pretty much just waited at. This point like, he is he is. THAT good, i think, you know there's a chance He's A all nba second team guy rather Than AN.

All nba first. Team guy, but like he is clearly the.

Best prospective so he turned Eighteen, in december he'll turn nineteen this next, because, no no because usually you're right about. Most Things so, i'm, like WAIT because i thought he was going to be eighteen as. A rookie so he just, turned eighteen he'll turn Nineteen. Next december but your, point stands like that is still, so young and unless You are lebron or something, like it an expectation to be

And, you know we have the history of number one probably, you know like looking At What anthony davis Did And, zion williamson and, you know like some of these really awesome prospects that set the world up, as freshmen they weren't doing it at quite the Young age. Cooper is and, YOU know I think cooper is really unique in the way in how many different ways he can impact the game on, ball defense off, ball defense as, a playmaker as, a shooter as, a creator as a, rim finisher, in

The floor, so well.

How many in, your estimation if We take cooper off the table and at the jazz fall pass one. Or two so It's, not cooper It's Not, dylan harper how many other prospects would excite you as far as you know the ability to.

Step in and be pretty special. Right away.

None of them are going to be special, RIGHT away i, don't think, you KNOW so i, would say, YOU know i would still be Excited About, ace bailey certainly just because of his ability to make tough shots at.

His size, YOU know i think that's a really.

Really interesting starting point for a prospect that again you're just not gonna get anywhere else besides the top five of.

The.

Draft vj edgecombe is again super interesting to me with the athleticism, And SCORING like I Saw donovan mitchell comparison to him the, other DAY and i don't think that, that's crazy, you know but that's a top, end, Outcome right and then some of the time he becomes a, you Know A victor oladipot or something. Like that, but

Well and also is disappearing a little Bit during. Illinois games, so.

Yeah, YOU know i think the top two clearly Helped the jazz on. The court next year, after that you're talking about more of, a project more of a month of clay that needs to be molded to be a star in, the least you weren't.

That bad it's casperis, Jacketcionis, jacket yes and he had a crazy good start to, the year but, your point he's fallen off over the past month and. A Half but illinois as a, sixth seed maybe he can do.

Something, all right.

Real quick washington rolls into town, last night And that's TANKATHON one. O one washington wins even though, they lose And the jazz lose even though.

They win what are your thoughts on what happened?

Last, night yeah impressed with How Poorly jordan Poole And marcus smart played for he should go one for seventeen from.

THOSE guys, i mean that is that's next all.

THE look, I mean i thought That the jazz had a brilliant taking move By Allowing walker kessro to.

Shoot threes.

For sure just letting fifty four free throw shooter take threes all of a sudden is fun and interesting and also probably really bad. For winning, but Yeah the wizards showed a new level, last night so the props.

With them the two teams split their, their games and the.

REMAINING it's i believe it's twelve games For the jazz four team For, the wizards we'll decide at all.

What drama, you know.

It's tough it's been tough. All year if YOU and i are of the, same mind it's the right thing.

To do but it.

Just sucks so we'll look forward to lottery night and hopefully something fun that. Can happen, all right prior to you, Stopping by i'll set you loose, After this pablo HEAD coach rsl. Stops by on the, positive side they've won two. Of three on the, Negative side houston is Horrific, in seattle can't Win.

IN sandy i don't get that.

At All, But Pablo, kurt jason all three of them on the show over the past couple. Of weeks two players sounds like two players on the way prior, TO that i Think it's april third is when the. Window closes any thoughts on what you'd like those players to look like for this club that needs.

Attacking options there needs to be, attacking options and, YOU know i think clearly you look at the output of the forwards and it's, not terrible, you KNOW like i Like, RIP ol, i like but it's just not at a You know Forster and ari are going to be BOTTOM five mls.

Starting forwards and.

If you want to be a playoff, caliber team if you want to have a top ten offense IN, the mls if you really want to, contend again you need someone to score. Those goals and it Can't Be jago luna all.

The.

Time yep and so when you look at kind Of how diego's struggled since being COMING into rsl and BEING. A dp had the goal, last week which, is good, but ultimately, you know it was not a huge difference maker.

So far they just need more talent, up top.

And Especially if diego is going to be playing FOR the us men's national team at from, ten times.

So yeah.

We'll see, but yeah somewhere on, the wing somewhere in, the middle and just two attacking players that you can be kind of. Versatile with AND then, i, think uh, you know ideally your defense, would UPGRADE but i.

Just don't know how you make that acquisition at.

This point like right back is clearly a point and, could improve, but uh.

It's hard to find. Right back it just it.

Just Is well dallas, in town oursel, BACK home i, would imagine and you will be at the.

Match up we'll. Be, there, Yep okay i'll, Let you i'll.

Eight seed indiana is a.

Nine seed our, next guest the voice Of the utah women's, Basketball program great To have tyson ewing back on the show On, A, thursday tyson how are your man being?

Too long, I'm.

Good spencer how, are?

You sir i'm doing.

Very well i'm doing, Very WELL so i appreciate. The time so before we get to, tomorrow's GAME since i have not had a chance to catch up, with you we had a coach on, LAST week i wonder how you have kind of digested this year with the coaching Change and alyssa, moving On and utah is still maintaining their success level advancing to their fourth tournament in.

Four, YEARS well i think the overall season has, been very. VERY strong, i feel especially with the, coaching change there's a lot of uncertainties on what might. Have happened but keeping things uniform is the lay that was at the beginning of. The season Stepping having gavin step in and basically have it go as seamless as it possibly could has been. Extremely positive obviously a little disappointing down the

You noticed Most About Gavin.

GAVIN peterson i think we've had him on the show four times, or so including this week when we were up At the Huntsman For alex jensen's introductory press and of course we all Love coach rob but she cannot say no. TO that, i mean it's one, of, like yeah you go do, your Thing and gavin strikes me as a, really positive kind of ray of sunshine. Type COACH and i just wonder what stood out most to You since gavin took over The program.

For ME and i MENTIONED this i HAD earlier i was asked, this question and, for me what it's been for me is just, a large overwhelming excitement level from him to step into, this role to be up and ready. For it as far as the team goes and the way that, they've reacted it's been so fun to see how they have been able to just seamlessly take his

You noticed any, schematic difference?

You Know and gavin kind of he gave me a little bit of a side EYE when i said you were kind of like the defensive coach For coach. Rob right he took an issue. With that, he's like, Come on i'm the. HEAD coach i do it. All now but and he was very upfront and honest about kicking the tires With coach rob throughout the course of the season to kind of get her take, on things how

Change i would, say no to your questions what you asked him, last week he would say that he necessarily wasn't the. DEFENSIVE coordinator i would say that kind of shifted when they kind of changed their style, of PLAY because i would absolutely say that he was quote the defensive coordinator up until about twenty goodness twenty twenty, twenty one when they made that shift and when they were

Shot unless it.

Was desperation but now we're seeing Players. Like giana she's really the only player that's we've noticed that's taking those jump shots on a more. Frequent Basis but gianna will in the in the rhythm of, the offense stop and pop and take a mid range. Jump shot so other, than, THAT schematically i have not seen very many changes, at all both offensively.

Or defensively and in the.

Year that jiohn, has had if she wants to take mid range or take threes or whatever you want, to do just let her.

Do it and she's not new to.

The program but you know, the Question after alyssa took off with really a special, record setting, you Know so jordan with the utes was who's going to. Step up AND like, i said it's Not like giohn, is new but it feels like she's taken up this like next level of leadership and production because she's been one of the best players in the conference all year long here.

For you, Absolutely correct she's a Player who there were a couple of instances in the last two Years. WITH alyssa i guess it was a year and eight games before she got hurt to where where she could take over, in games and so we knew that she had this mentality of being able to take over when it. Was necessary ONE game i remember is when you saw two years ago got a big win Over At oregon state in a Game where gianna scored the majority of those fourth.

With a fifty to.

Forty ninety so being able to, do it but do it at a level of consistency the way she's doing it is. So impressive averaging nineteen points, a game but shooting fifty percent from, the floor forty five percent, from three and it's just a little shy of ninety percent from the free throw. A line so showing she can

Of, Eligibility, yeah junior she can still, come back and she'd probably break every record in the book if. SHE did i wonder what, Your take tyson is on the depth and the ability of this roster to get gone from, the outside because as you look at, the stats they have seven players that have taken at least fifty three, point shots and you know it's a team oftentimes they'll, go, eight nine, you know maybe even sometimes.

Ten deep but talk about that a.

Little bit how many Options that gavin has at his disposal and how many players can get gone from.

The, outside well that's the one thing that has been so impressive this year is that they can rely on players off. The bench you Think Of reese ross as one that comes. To mind obviously you Talked About. Maddy wilkie she obviously hit a huge shot a couple of.

Have coming off.

The bench she this season shooting forty. Three percent one of those other players that's flirting with a fifty forty ninety from beyond. The arc so if YOU have, I mean i've already talked. About it kennedy McQueen is another

Outside shot a player that.

Came in that was not. Doing That maya tore has taken seventy eight three pointers.

This year she's hit twenty two. Of them before.

This year her career high in three pointers made and the season. Was twelve so just kind of showing that this is a player who played four Years At rhode island didn't really take a lot of, outside shots but this offense has kind of allowed players that ability to if you can. Shoot it we want you to shoot

And we'll get we'll get there in. A moment BECAUSE when i saw, the draw, of course my eyes went. Around TWO and i Even got gavin to admit a little bit like you're looking at like it's All. About indiana but if You, beat indiana you run into this Now That don staley. Has built but let me ask you this Question because giohn is. A junior as we, Talked about kennedy's.

A senior, You know.

Jenna's senior we've seen a lot of these, players before, and yes the question was with a list had taken off for the pros who would? Step up but of the players that you weren't overly, familiar with who stood?

Out most he was a pleasant surprise on.

This roster, For me i've already mentioned her. This year, FOR me i Would Say matti willkie has been a player that consistently has been able to come off the bench and knocked on those. Outside SHOTS so i Would say maddie maybe not necessarily a surprise because we saw glimpses last year to where she could be extremely important down. The stretch but, FOR me i love the way that she.

Me before we get to tomorrow's matchup and what could. Lie ahead i'm actually just noticing THIS and i wonder what your thoughts are. On IT and i don't know how much is, there there but, you know from a, recruiting perspective we oftentimes, talk, about uh the necessity to get the in, state kids the good players that are, in state and then supplement that with stars from. Other places this team Has two utah players. On It it's alyssa And, it's kennedy and then everyone else is either

That that is such a, great question BECAUSE when i look this OVER and i think about it on a, frequent basis one of the things that sticks out to me IS when i first stepped into this program nine years ago and started, Doing games utah's Pipeline. Was canada canada was was the was the was the hub To where utah was building their. Players around that's altered over the last five years. Or so whereas, right now obviously you Think, of gianna you Think Of. Jenna johnson both

The midwest and.

You just Talked To, gavin peterson he'll and he'll just absolutely ooze over the fact that these recruits that, are leaving or the players are leaving, THIS year i, should say who have completely changed this program to what, it was to what it is now and what continue what it can continue to be in the years.

To come so let's move over now to what's next and what you've kind of learned in. Your Prep terry morin has Been in indiana for a, decade now and that's the Nine seed utah will. Face tomorrow and when you just kind of scroll up and down Their season they've got some very, impressive wins and you know they've beat some top twenty teams and they NEARLY, upended usc

Win Tomorrow, TYSON well i would.

Say that this is a very very similar team in the style of Play that utah likes. To play this is a team that likes to shoot the three, point shot a team that it's. Very active should the three point shot good for third In The big ten, this year eighteenth in. The country so look for them to similarly similarly To what, utah does take that outside shot and connect on a. FREQUENT basis i could imagine that's going to be one of the keys in, tomorrow game

The.

Boards oh gavin is very heavy, on that especially. Offensive rebounding when you have the opportunity To after misshoff to put it back up. And end this is a Team in utah that likes to crash, the Glass but indiana is not a very good, rebounding team so that could be an Edge that utah to. Potentially have and really other, than THAT like, i said very similar style of Play.

South carolina so BEFORE we i do have a quick job because you're still doing the, jazz stuff, Aren't? YOU tyson I am, Kiah OKAY so i have a quick jazz question. For it but before we, get there, of course we know That if utah Does, beat indiana they will advance on to play this Juggerna That don staley. Has BUILT and I thought gavin handled it BEAUTIFULLY when i, asked him just talking about what a great experience it would be a, great opportunity would be, a look it

South carolina so earlier today walk down with my partner down to the arena to go grab our. Media credentials we were talking about that exact point to Where if utah does win this, game tomorrow they do have the opportunity to play On a sunday afternoon in front Of The south carolina crowd.

That would absolutely show up and.

Show out with it being the last time they get a home game, this season.

The opportunity would.

Be, incredible obviously this is a team that has shown so much success over the years as the reigning, national champions a tremendous head Coach In don staley who has taken this program and elevated it to a level of of, absolute excellency and so being able to have that opportunity to potentially go in there and have, AN upset, i mean if you If if utah was to pull off, the upset let's, JUST again i know we're being h we're looking ahead a, Little, bit uh, but if But

Be Amazing, all.

RIGHT before i set, you loose in addition to you your duties Collegen the utah women's, basketball games you've been how long you've been doing the broadcast statistician stuff Over the jazz, now ties.

This is my eleventh year With, the jazz ninth Year, with utah eleventh year With.

The jazz.

That's wild.

That's wild so this is a new experience for all of us that know, the history the rich history and tradition of winning basketball And salt. A can i, it's, tough MAN because i actually think they're doing the.

RIGHT thing i just think. IT sucks i don't know how to.

Say it what's it been like for you to observe this and are there some things you've been able to notice that are actually tangible for fans to latch onto even though the winning is just not?

There yet, MAN more, i mean everybody's gonna, say, it, Right everybody you're going to get the same. Exact answer the what what they want.

To see more than anything is being able to develop.

The.

Youth right everybody's saying those, exact terms which. Is great it really is great.

To be able to.

See that but like, you said it sucks at times just to be able.

To walk into, the gym HAVE this nba game.

In front of you and know that they're trying to not win. The Game is i'm kind of delicately word that.

You need to keep.

YOUR job i don't work.

There anymore so you. BE careful i want you to keep. Your gig it doesn't move the needle for, me, anymore so.

You KNOW but i mean like when you see when a couple of, Games ago laurie markten playing the first half, The lead utah leads it, to half and then They pull laurie and doesn't play any entire. Second half they end up losing. THAT game i didn't see what happened In the wizard's game yesterday for them to be able to get. That win but it is one of those

To do whatever, it is, well. Said buddy i'm stun you weren't Locked Into jazz wizards, last Night but i'll give you a pass on. That one, all, RIGHT dude i appreciate. The time have a great.

Me on able to ADVANCE past vcu after a pretty, hair start it was eighty to.

Seventy one that's. Your final it was back, and forth back.

And forth then with about three minutes left in the, FIRST half byu ran AWAY and vcu kind of made a little bit of a, late charge but never was really all. That close really good Game From, richie saunders who was the most improved player In The big twelve.

This year richie had. Sixteen points he also had.

FOUR boards byu did not shoot the, lights out but they were able to, play really really solid defense and do just enough when it came to their free. Throw line they went to the free throw line twenty, eight times a really aggressive. Game plan fustre came off the bench in, nineteen minutes had. Thirteen points he had. Nine boards he also had four. Offensive Rebounds diegor dema got off to a, hot start cooled a little bit, later on but he did have, fifteen points.

Four boards and. TO assist byu was able.

TO advance vcu was not really able to do much really during. That run at the end of the first half into the, second Half, zeb jackson who's actually their, sixth MAN led vcu with twenty, three Points but byu advances and they will Take, on wisconsin Who beat montana earlier today eighty five to.
