Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
With Alex Caravan. It was a slow start for both teams.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yukon fell behind four nothing, but Caravan's drive tied it
up three and a half minutes in at four to four.
Oh dem Rey left wing back to Caravan. Drible penetration.
Alyx to the basket, left hand that drives and he
lays it in Caravan. Sweet move and we're tied at four.
So Reid then got to work as you kind open

(00:24):
up their first four point lead. This is about eight
minutes in. Now very low scoring a early part of
this game. I've Reid got inside and Caravan fed on
the ball for a bucket hot post. Given a left
side of Caravan, download a raid, Reid catches read, lays
it in and Reid his foul Paul the Kodiak bear

(00:45):
mugging it up a little bit and he got mugged
and he was able to convert and now a three
point play opportunity. Little cheris Reid twenty one points on
the night at eight rebounds, and he was a monster
inside for Yukon. Then Silas Demery one of the really
exciting plays of the game, crashed the boards on the

(01:05):
offensive glass and gave you got a nine point lead
midway through the first half, Ball tried to drive it inside.
They go to Ross deep in the corner for three
in and out reapbout it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
By Demy and he put it in. Oh, he came
out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
The slickstir and he begged it home on the offensive
glass and U Khan leads twenty one to twelve with
a chance.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
To go up ten.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Demriy with a great night tonight twenty one points. He
had five rebounds and seven assists. He comes up nine.
They run a fourteen to two run. They extended to
lead a little a few moments later with my formanuts
left in the half when solo Ball got open and
Malachai Smith found him ride by out front to Manachai
on the right sideline.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Now Ball tries another three.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
That one's good on target solo and Yu Khon hurts
him that time thirty two to nineteen Huskies, and the
Huskies would go to the locker room up by eleven
thanks to Alex Caraban who hit four for four from
three point range tonight. Balaka Smith thought the inbound runs
to the left sideline with the right hand drivile. He

(02:13):
gives this Stewart down in the corner, Caravan for three,
and Caravan from across the BYU bench delivers a triple
ucont forty one twenty nine, and they're up eleven at
half time, and they extended that lead in the second
half with the Jayden Ross knocking down a three from
Demery back the other way, Ross for three, and Ross

(02:34):
delivers a triple right in front of the coach, Dan Hurley,
and now BYU wants the time out. Ross had ten
in the game, two for four from three, four for
six overall, but he did foul out after playing just
twelve minutes in the game. But the Jayden Ross in
the three point shooting of Yukon was outstanding eight of

(02:55):
eighteen in the game forty four percent, as they went
on to win the game eight eighty four. Caravan just
makes plays. He'd been doing it for four years here
and he was at it again with an offensive rebound
with thirteen minutes left up the screen of Caraban gives
it a ball, ball lost it regains it. Now they're
down to five. Reid's got to go to the basket.

(03:16):
He puts them a tough shot, missed them. The Caravan's there.
On the week's side caravan back to inn so Alex
who ended up with twenty one points eight of eleven.
Outstanding play for him tonight. He played thirty nine minutes
more than anybody else in this game. Then it was
the Husky's having trouble against the press. They were able

(03:37):
to break it though in one sequence here. No, we're
not going to get to that yet. First it's Terras
Reid as an assist man, and that's what you like
to see, the big man of campass He had two
assists as he fed Jalen Stewart for his first bucket
of the game and gave you got a sixteen point
lead with seven forty six to go, hands over to Stewart,

(03:58):
Stewart back to Demry. They go down load to read, read,
back to the basket. They looked to double all great feed.
He shovel at the jail and Stewart who rocks the
rim and Yukon LAIDs seventy one to fifty five.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Great patience. I got the Huskies from there.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I had to hang on the last seven and a
half minutes is BYU at one point and seven straight
field goal attempts. Well, Yukon did not score a field
goal for two minutes and forty two seconds. They were
able to get back in and bring him young and
they got close, but they could not get over the hump.
Yukon did face pressure, full court pressure, and they had

(04:36):
some issues last year with this.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
And give BYU credit. They were able to get.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yukon in trouble and the Huskies did beat it as Jalen,
Stuart and Terras Reid combined to give you Kona seventy
three sixty two lead with six and a half to go,
and now Denmory back to caravan. I head to Stuart
and Stuart to read and raid dunks. So the Huskies
beat the pressure and they had a but it took

(05:02):
more heroics. You come with some free throws down the
stretch and Silas Demri was the MVP of this thing,
the Hall of Fame Classic made a big field goal,
Yukon's last field goal with about two minutes left on
the baseline. I'llah Walt Fraser, my old partner used to
love that shot, a little ten foot jumper along the

(05:23):
baseline and he was able to get it to go
down Smith into the paint, kicks to demriy Demery into
the paint, little fade away good on the baseline ten
foot or that's big and Kun leads eighty one seventy
four Demery nineteen and so you come would hang on
to win it with some free throws. The final was

(05:43):
eighty six to eighty four. Here in Boston tonight, we'll
be back the Hard Auto Group. Postgame show continues after
this from Brown, pain Deris, and Scott. This is Yukon
men's basketball on lear Field.
