  Speaker 1: Back with GINO on this to excuse me Thursday night?
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Did I say Tuesday? It is Thursday night and Saturday,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the Huskies will take on Louisville at the Barclays Center.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Our coverage begins at eight thirty. Ye're on the Yukon
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Sports Network, the Varsity Network app, and the varsitynetwork dot com.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Speaking of freshmen, you have a fabulous freshman and Sarah
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Strong seven games in, she just continues to amaze us.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And one thing you talked about afterwards, and I'm kind
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of paraphrasing here, really good on the outlook of the game.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Knows what you need when you need it, and when
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: she gets hot, it's tough to stop her. And you've
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: mentioned this. You don't have or have had, many freshmen
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with this ability. She is a special young lady, isn't she.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, she's young. You know that's a that's a given.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I mean not just she's a freshman. She's young. She's
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a young freshman, but her game is not young. Her
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: game is much more mature. I know she doesn't realize it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: She doesn't realize the extent of her game. She just
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: plays and maybe that's why it looks so good. It
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: is because she doesn't think too much about, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: her game, but she knows enough that when we were
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: struggling to knock down shots in the first half, she
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: knows enough to all right, they need me to start,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: they need me to get some buckets. So that's what
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do. And you know, never looking at
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it as well, I'm a freshman, and you know, I'll
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: wait my turn. There's none of that for her when
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it comes to what does my team need me to do?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So she'll get a big rebound, she'll make a big three,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: she'll you know, she'll score in the lane. That bounced
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: pass she threw laying on the ground, you know, when
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: she dove on that loose ball. I mean, people don't
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: do that. You know, We've had guys dive on the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: ball a loose ball and roll around on the ground
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and throw it to the other team. So you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it's just she as an uncanny feel for the game.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: She just uh, she just has that it factor and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you know, and she's got a long way to go
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and she's got a lot to learn. But man oh man,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: these first seven games, she's not shot the ball well
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: as well as she can't either, I mean, you see
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: her when she gets it going. Man, it's like everything
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: that leaves her hand is going in. And it's mid range,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it's layups, it's threes, it's everywhere. So yeah, she's she's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: pretty special if if you think about it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this on the pregame the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: other night for Holy Cross UH season low fifteen assists
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: against Old Miss, But that's based on the way that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they defended, in the way the team attacked the rim.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But and I'm gonna bring Sarah back here. I mean,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: she's an outstanding passer. A lot of backdoor plays. She
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: has an innate ability to find that layer in the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on the back door with a good bounce pass, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: she's done it in numerous games this season.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that was one of the things that really
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: among many that attracted us to her is her innate
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: ability to throw the right pass at the right time
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and to be able to see things develop and anticipate
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: how they're going to develop. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: if you know, she's probably you know, she's going to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: be one of the top one or two, at worst,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: top three in assists this year. Maybe you know, in
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: steals too. I mean, she just has tremendous hands, you know. So, yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: she can help us a lot of ways. And I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm excited to see, you know what she does.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Right today, Page leads with their two. Caitlyn has thirty
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Sarah has twenty six in the assist department. Uh. Speaking
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of Kaitlyn had her best offensive game for you, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I know you talked in fact, we had around the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: post game and she talked about all the hard work
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: she put in shooting the basketball because she didn't have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the best reputation being a perimeter shooter. But it's seeming
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: like that work's starting to pay off. And with all
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the weapons you have, she's going to have opportunities to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: make those shots.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Yeah, that's the one thing that you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: we've added more more score, more shooters, let's put it
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that way, more players that are confident shooting. Uh. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: we're trying as part of our offense to get more
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: threes than we had last year. You know, Aliah wasn't
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: necessarily a three point.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Shooter, right, And so Sarah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Wants to be, and is Ice can be. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Jenna wants to be someday and her dreams, you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: she she wants to be and at practice some days
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they look good. But we added you know, Caitlin's a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: good three point shooter. Alli's a good three point shooter,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Morgan's a good three point shooter, you know. And we've
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: had you know, ashes pretty good, you know, and obviously
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Page and Asy. You know, we added asy in which
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: we didn't have last year, So we have a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: more players capable of, you know, up scoring. So theoretically
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: our sisters would go up because everybody that we pass
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it to has a chance to make a shot.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Right season I well, and here's the correlation. Season I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: fourteen threes made Tuesday night Tuesday and a season I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: twenty seven assists. There you go, there you go. Uh uh.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Caitlyn's leadership abilities. Is that? I mean, that's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: something you've got to have inside and you're very impressed
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with her leadership qualities? Is that one of the things
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that Carla told you about her when you were looking
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: at her to I'm here from Princeton.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean we saw it firsthand obviously when
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we play them here, and we also were aware of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: it from Carla, and it took her a little bit
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of time here to feel comfortable, but I'm encouraging her
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: all the time to be more vocal, to to express
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: yourself more. You know, sometimes players rely too much on
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: on one person. You know, if you're going to look
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the page all the time to be your leader, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I I think there's got to be more than one
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: person that uses their voice and and Caitlin has started
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And coming off seven assists as well in the win
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: over Holy Cross. More with Gino here on the U
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: CUT women's basketball. I'll coach a show in just a minute.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You're on Larfield
