00:00But I think it would be a disservice to talk about the first overall pick
00:02and not talk about Dye Bonsa's game today against West Virginia, J.Y.
00:07It's a West Virginia team that's good defensively.
00:10They grind games to a halt.
00:13What are you looking for here, if anything, in this matchup in the Big 12?
00:19Honestly, I'm looking at the under in this matchup today.
00:23This is a sneaky big game for West Virginia.
00:26They're only three and eight in quad one wins, five and three in quad two.
00:30So a win today would do them wonders in regards to the pack.
00:35I think BYU could take it on the money line if you want to play it that way.
00:40But to me, West Virginia is going to want to slow this game down
00:45because I think that's the only way that they can do so.
00:50And I'm going to say this, and this may sound completely like what is Coach thinking with this.
00:54Did you guys watch how bad, how bad they were in regards to BYU in their game versus Central Florida?
01:05Giving up a team that shot 60, 60-some-odd percent from the three-point line?
01:11This is what Coach Young would have.
01:13Well, that Coach Young would have a pride check game in regards to we need to be better defensively.
01:19Because, you know, BYU is 12th in the Big 12 in effective field goal percentage defense.
01:24They don't first turnovers.
01:25They're 12th in defensive efficiency.
01:28They need to be better defensively.
01:31So I think he challenged them in practice.
01:33I think West Virginia is going to drag up to the deep end of the pool.
01:36I like BYU to win outright.
01:40And I'll look at West Virginia's team total under because West Virginia can't score.
01:45And BYU needs to be better defensively after the last performance.
01:48Their pride's on the line.
01:50They show up today and they defend.
01:52Yeah, I'm, J.Y., just taking a look here right now.
01:56And, you know, I was trying to figure out just to make sure I got the best of the number.
02:01But I'm just going to end up really playing BYU, I think, on the money line here.
02:06I mean, you could lay two, you could lay one and a half.
02:08But ultimately, BYU offensively has a very clean argument to being the second best offense in this conference.
02:18The best offense, I think, we would consider is Arizona.
02:22And, you know, certainly when you can, you know, when you start to not just factor in efficiency but tempo,
02:27Arizona scored 88 points on West Virginia.
02:31I have no reason to believe that BYU isn't going to get theirs today against this West Virginia team who
02:38it's not a good offense.
02:41And they're just not of the level here with the Cougars.
02:45So I think this is actually a good spot.
02:47I know that this is spots we worry about, right?
02:50Maybe looks a little easy.
02:52But, you know, coach asked the kind of rhetorical question like, hey, did you watch to you, the people, UCF,
02:58BYU?
03:00I bet UCF at 12 and a half, watched it get to 14 and a half, bet it again, watched
03:05the first 15 minutes of the game,
03:07and then said, sweet, I'm going to turn the blacklist on.
03:09I won my money.
03:10It was a, it was a, they ruled them.
03:14They massacred BYU.
03:15I think that's why we're getting a lower number here.
03:17I think there's some worry from the odds makers, right?
03:21Or from the betting, from the betting, you know, people out there like, oh, wait a minute.
03:25Is BYU cooked?
03:27BYU is cooked as it relates to making a deep, deep, deep tournament run.
03:31I don't think they're cooked here today at West Virginia.
03:34I don't know.
03:34So, what are some of the reasons.
03:34What do you think about BYU?
