• 0:00
  Speaker 1: With the coach as the Huskies who played the Paul Wednesday.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, both teams play the Paul on Wednesday. It's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: our last of our conflict dates on the network. The
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: women are at the Paul six thirty on the radio
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the entire network for that one. The men played the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Paul at the Excel seven thirty on the River one
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: oh five nine on Wednesday. Both games abai a little
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Varsity network, Gap, Varsitynetwork, dot Com, all the other various
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: apps that you can listen to the Huskies both games available,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So just give a listen Wednesday for the guys as
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: coaches versus Cancer Night. I know the Pink games coming
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: up for you guys Sunday, right, yeah, at the Excel
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: against Butler.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: This is what's weird about scheduling. And I know TV
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: is great. I love to watch the games on television
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and it's.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: A big deal. I get it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: But we played in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday, and we
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: come home. We'll here two days and then we go
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to Chicago. Like, why didn't we play Saturday Monday Saturday
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: one place Monday and the other because it's not convenient
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: for Fox or or there could be some other.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Well, it would be on S and White.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I'm saying I think we we could have maybe moved
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: the Creating game to Sunday or you know, and go
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Sunday Tuesday if you can't go Saturday Monday.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there the other issue that you have. I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: think we don't have this issue because we have two
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: different arenas. So if the guys are playing at the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Excel Center, we can play at Gamble. But a lot
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of these schools they only have one, like Depauli has one.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful place, but they only have one. So
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: if they schedule a men's game and then women's game,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: like yesterday or the other day, there was two games, right,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: creat men played and then we played. So I would
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: like to think that there's times when I wish we
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: could do it where if we're going out to the Midwest,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, play played the Paul and Marquette, played Creighton
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and the Paul and make one trip instead of now
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we've gone out there three times. We went out to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: playing Marquette, I'm going out to playing Greaton now we're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: going out to play Chicago.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: The only one that stayed out there is Maggie Fioni.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: She spend three days in.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: There, not that these guys go to scorning workers. It's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: not about student athletes anymore. And you know it's you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: they're all doing commercials on their off days anyway.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of cities and traveling, do you have a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: favorite city, well, other.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Than Philadelphia, Yeah, Chicago.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I love that city.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the Marque is a great hotels are
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's a great place, really great place.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Isn't it refreshing that we're not having to talk about
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: injuries anymore? I mean, Aubrey slowly making her way back.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: She didn't play Saturday, but it was just great to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: see Caroline warming up for the teammates for the first
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: time in uniform, because we haven't seen that since early
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: last season before she shut it down.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, some of those kids have just had some
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: terrible luck, you know, unusual stuff happening. Not now you're
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: running the mill stuff, you know, just really unusual ways
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to get injured. And uh, it's I'm afraid it's becoming
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: more and more a.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Part of.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: High school basketball, high school sports, college sports. So I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: glad that we have a majority of our roster intact,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Carol being able to warm up is huge for her,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you know where it leads for us. I have no
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: idea what that means, whether it means anything at all,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: but great for her, you know, because I know she
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: misses it so much. And then Aubrey, you know, when
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you haven't played, you know, in a year. Well, it's funny,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: we were out of Creton. That's when she got hurt
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: last year at Creighton, so it was like almost exactly
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a year, you know, and uh, you know, knee injury
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: is in high school, knee injury in college, back surgery
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: like just a lot, you know, a lot. And you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: would think, oh, Aubrey's back now, you know, here we go,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: national championship. She's gonna that's gonna take forever to get
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: back into. Today she looked great. I mean two days
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: ago she didn't look that great, but today she looked
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: fantastic in practice. So that's what's gonna happen. You're gonna
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: get great days, not so great days, and then when
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: you start getting three four, you know, days in a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: row of really good stuff, then you know she's back.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They played too much high school slash aau.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: You know what it is like you're eighteen years old
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and you come out of high school, but your legs
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: are twenty five. They're not really eighteen. Because when back
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in the day, when kids were playing basketball, when basketball
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: season is over, they didn't play basketball anymore. They played
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: some other sports, so they used different muscles than they used, right,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and then when they played basketball again the following basketball season,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: or they would do some stuff during the summer. Now,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you know, they play twelve months of the year. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and even when you're not practicing, even when the season's over,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and they all have personal trainers. They fly all over
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the country to get these guys to teach them, you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: all the stuff that we tell them they shouldn't do.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's crazy, but it's every sports. I'm not
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just saying it's basketball, right, No, I don't, right, yep.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: In baseball, nobody plays, nobody pitches more than five innings, Like,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: no starter goes more fighting start. And yet there's more
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Tommy John surgeries now than there were twenty years ago.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because everybody's throwing a hundred miles an hour. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the thing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So it's just different. You got to adjust to it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But I feel bad for the kids because yeah, they yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's a lot. It's a lot, all right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of throwing, all right, I'll bring this up. We
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: saw page the sideline play that almost went and in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the third quarter if you were if you were down
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in your on the opposing baseline, you needed to throw
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a long pass. How many kids on your team could
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: throw that, like, say, well somewhere between mid court and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the opposing well.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: At the end of every practice, we do this drill
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: where we actually throw a ball from out of bounds
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: like we used to have to do before you could
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: call time out. Right, I think the men are the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: only organized sport above high school one. They're the only
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: or they're the only organized basketball that doesn't have quarters
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: right left in the world. Right, Okay, you go to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Mongoli and you have twelve kids playing. They're playing when
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: quarters okay, so they play halves and they can't advance
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the ball. So two and a half seconds left and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you're down one. You got to throw the ball the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: length of the floor to get a bucket. Yeah, you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: got and you gotta get lucky. It's it's basically luck.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Whereas we call time out, we inbounded right in front
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of our bench. You've got a chance. So yeah, if
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: we had to go from underneath our basket all the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: way down the other We practiced that, and man, I'll
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: tell you it's painful to watch these guys throw the ball,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: like the length of the quarter three quarter court. Ice
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is not bad, you know, but she throws her left
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: hand and so everything's going out of bounds all the time,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you know, but that way. Yeah, like we I'll tell
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you who's who's not bad. I think Sarah's not bad. No, definitely,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: not definitely, not Jenna, no, they no, but yeah, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that's an interesting question because I had a conversation with
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: him when Nico was here. I said, any you guys
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: play like, uh, baseball growing up, and you guys play
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: softball or anything, and you're like get to catch throw
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a football with your brother, your boyfriend or something. Yeah,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: get catch my foot, I said, you guys do anything
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: a Nika raised her hands. She goes, I played swimming.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize you played swimming. I thought you just swam.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just that's that's really good though.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: But if you saw Nica tried to throw like one
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of these passes, like a skip pass over her heead,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it looked like she was.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Like speaking of passes. You know, Debbie and I were
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: talking about, don't we do? You know what I miss
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the the long stretch bounce pass. You know. Gabby and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I think Mariah were really good at that, Yeah, Gabby especially.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Sarah'll throws some for sure. You know. You have
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to be able to see, yeah, you know, and you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: have to have a feel, you know. I think she
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: threw one, a real good one to Page a couple
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of games go. She's coming down the floor and she
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: threw it. You know, she just has a You have
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to have a feel, you know, you really have to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: do that. I remember when Dee was playing, there will
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: be times in practice where there would be a rebound.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: She'd have the ball at the fountain and she would
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: just turn and two handed just like this, and the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: other kid would catch it and lay it up. No druggles,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: no nothing, that's a that's that's something you're born with
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: kind of sword.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Page has that kind of neck too. Yeah, she's pretty
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: good at that in the through the air, not so
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: much the bounce.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Okay, we'll come back with Gino. I'm gonna
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: throw a wild number at him. Courtesy of my son.
