Kevin Young on if there is an advantage for BYU getting a fresh opponent in the NCAA Tournament after 10 straight weeks of Big 12 play, especially from an NBA-style perspective: “Yeah, it's funny. Like we were here, I think we were here, Big 12 Media Day, you were the emcee for that too. So we had it in this building, and it was interesting, at the coaches panel, just the amount of respect that all the coaches in this league have for this league. I think those that follow our league closely understand every single night feels like Game 7 in the NBA playoff series, the physicality, the talent, the coaching. It's all at an extremely high level. So I really feel fortunate to be in this league because I do think it prepares you literally for anything in the country relative, and to your point, you're going to play a good team in any game in the NCAA Tournament. But, yes, I think this league prepares you because there's different styles and so forth. And you know, I don't know if this necessarily is a Big 12 specific thing, but the tournament's so interesting because you're just not as familiar, right, with the opponent, right? So getting out of the Big 12 and being able to go, you know, see some fresh faces and things like that will be good. But I think to your actual question, what prepares you most, is just the gauntlet of the Big 12. And I think when you can get through that and not sink, I think that in and of itself gives teams and coaches a lot of confidence heading into the tournament.”

Josh Pastner, Ladies and gentlemen. This guy just won the Mountain West Tournament's noon tipoff of the 8/9 game.

Jack Murphy is becoming Tommy Lloyd's Jim Rosborough, the longtime lead assistant for Lute Olson. Lloyd said after today's win at Houston that Murphy put together the gameplan. It was Rosborough who constructed the ultimate gameplan when Arizona beat Kentucky and subdued Rick Pitino's fullcourt press in the 1997 championship game. Murphy, the student manager, recruiting coordinator, video analyst, and director of operations late in Lute Olson's time at Arizona, joined Sean Miller's staff in 2019-20 after seven years as NAU's coach. Lloyd retained Murphy when he was hired in 2021-22.
