Overtime with Cleon Wall

Just as BYU and Utah head to college basketball's postseason, Cleon takes a look back at their match-up in December as part of his four part documentary of the Cougar's four in-state games.   This game had a lot of intensity after Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak canceled the 2016 match-up.  The Utes may have come away with the victory if it weren't for Elijah Bryant, Payton Dastrup and the passionate Cougar fans. You can listen to OT on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or on the KSL Newsradio.

Cleon returns with an inside look into how he put together two stories for KSL Newsradio about the Utah Jazz and Donovan Mitchell.  His first thought was to do a story on how the fans have really taken a shine to the team during the 11-game winning streak, but it eventually turned into a two part story on how rookie Donovan Mitchell was making a huge difference with the fans and the franchise.     Thanks for listening to OT/w Cleon Wall.  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or the KSL Newsradio APP.

Cleon continues to look back at the in-state games that made BYU into the team they are today.  Game three was against Weber State and it had a different feel to it.  It was part of the Beehive Classic, but the crowd was anything but classic.  Luckily the Cougars and Wildcats put on a pretty entertaining game for the few that showed up.   You can subscribe to Overtime with Cleon Wall on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or any other place you can download podcasts.

Cleon continues to give listeners an inside look (and listen) back at BYU's in-state games and how they helped to shape the 2017-18 Cougar basketball team.  It had been three years since BYU had traveled to play Utah State in Logan.  The students were ready, but the two teams were not.  In the end, this could be the game that started the legend of Elijah Bryant.
