  Speaker 1: While the guys play Providence Sunday. The women are in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: suburban Philly, though class with Villanove at the Finer and Pavilion,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: where the men will be next week. Bob Joystepfisk will
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: have all the action beginning at One Over on the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: River one O five nine the Varsity Network Gap in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the Varsitynetwork dot Com with Dan Hurley Mike Crispino here, Uh, coach,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we were talking. I mean we've been talking about this
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: since Hawaii Yukon's defense against the three. But these last
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: two games, I think there's been some progress there. I'm
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: curious what you think. I mean, statistically, it says your
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: team's been better against three point shooting in these last
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: two at Butler, at DePaul.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I mean it's creeping Uh, you know, it's creeping up
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I think again, it's been a combination of awareness, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: just like situational basketball awareness, you know, technique, inexperience, not
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: being able to digest maybe a scouting report to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: able to you know, to utilize that information. Then you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a little bit of it just was bad luck, like
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: people shooting way above their averages even on semi contested
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to contested three so obviously breakdowns where we've given up
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: way too many good looks, but we've also I think,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you know, part of it, maybe all the good fortune
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: from the last couple of years, you know, went the
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: other way for us for a stretch of games, but
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of it we've had done to ourselves. And
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's why we believe the team has got
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of upside, like we could be a much
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: better team than we are right now in February, in March,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: because we've got so many young players that could make
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: greater improvement. I think there's a lot of other teams
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: in the country that are very old with players that
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: have hit their ceiling for the season, and maybe this
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: is as good as their team's going to be, Whereas
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: we have a team that potentially could get a lot
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: better than we are right now. And I think that's
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: what's I think that's what's kept us going as we
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: went through our struggles in November, was just a the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: understanding that we have some people with a high ceiling,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: like a solo Ball, like a Jaden Ross, like a
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: like a Jalen Stewart, like a Taris Red, like Aidan Mahaney,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: people that could help us more leam mcneely's ability to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: continue to get better and better and improve. Even in
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: alex Caraban, I think there's still there's more room.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: For growth there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: There's different places that we could utilize him on the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: court moving forward here to help him be even more
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: productive as a player.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: At the offensive end.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: So I think our group just it's got upside, which
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was why I think we're able to to not get
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: demoralized when November wasn't wasn't very fruitful.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's exciting. I'll tell you the thought of that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: is pretty darn exciting. Teams one, seven, row, eleven and three.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: One final note on de Paul, I wanted to ask
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you about an X and O kind of question. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: did a great job of stuff them on the three
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: point line in the first half, the Blue Demons two
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for ten. They only took two three pointers in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: second half, but they took it to the rim a lot,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and they got to the line a lot twenty three
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for twenty eight. That kind of kept them in the game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They got within nine. What kind of adjustment do you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: have to make now since you're getting out in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: perimeter your garden. Well, there teams are going to probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: adjust and say we're going to go buy them or
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: try to and get to the rim and maybe get
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to the line and score it that way.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The only thing I think.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: We could have done a better job of, yeah, because
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: they didn't have a stretch five because they're you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the Trainer and Benson as centers.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You know, when they were out on the perimeter.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And they just spaced this out and started to drive
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: our point guards, you know, Aiden, and they obviously attacked Aiden,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and they attacked Hassan, and they attacked Solo, the guys
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that ye have shown up on films as guys that
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: could be you know driven. Just our center could have
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: maybe seen that and and rallied to the ball more
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and supported, you know, we didn't want to now have
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to help off there one through four, who are.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: All very capable three point shooters.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: But I think on that dribble drive, maybe you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the threat of the center just kind of you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: showing his body at the paint more was just an
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: adjustment that we should.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Have made earlier, could have made earlier.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: But when you have a fifteen to eighteen point lead,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: twenty point lead goes to fourteen, back to seventeen back
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to thirteen. You know, the only way you're probably going
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to lose that game is if you give up a
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: barrage threes. You know, well, one of the best offensive
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: teams in the country, we're going to continue to score.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Once you have such a substantial lead, you know, the
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: only way that you're going to do it. The only
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: way you're going to blow it is live ball turnover
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and giving up threes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, it's just it's.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Gonna be really close to impossible, you know, to beat
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: us just by two pointing us to death at that point.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: But uh, you know, we lacked discipline, We fouled too much.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Think a couple of them were maybe some calls that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: uh you know, we're we're iffy. I know Hasan's fourth
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: foul was it was was not a great one, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, I think at that point of the game,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the only thing that's gonna beach his threes and live
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: ball turnovers. And maybe Samson and Taris could have come
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: down a little bit more once they put their heads
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: down and started driving it because their their center was
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: not a threat to shoot a three.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Uh on the foul situation, as I said, they got
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to the line all those times, they shot them better
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: than they normally do.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, you know, in.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Today's game, there's so much contact, right, especially in the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Big East Conference games, but there's so much sell of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the contact that players try to do. It is up
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to the officials to understand that. And I often look
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at that and I say, you should have known if
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you've got to stripe shirt on, you should have known
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that the guy's movement is you know, jerking his head
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: back didn't happen because he got hit, because that just
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And they were there just enforcing that that flop
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and and you know, and selling those calls. And I
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: think the other thing is, you know, people, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: we move a lot, we cut a lot, a lot
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: of off ball action and and you know, it's frustrating
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I think too. And people are you know, impeding our
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: ability to run and cut and they're grabbing us and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: then and then flopping when we screen them. It's like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: if you're going to allow people to be real physical
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and impede our movement, then you you you then you
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: you can't then call flops, you know on people taking
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: dives on screens. You can't grab us, hold us and
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: then get to a point of a screen and then
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: take a dive. There's no there's no honor in. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: then there's also you know, you just you can't. You
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: can't call that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no one wants to watch free throws, trust me.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, the NBA decided, listen, we're
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: not going to let people impede cutters without the ball
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: run running through the lane and doing what they do.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And I think that's helped the NBA game to be
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: more fluid and more open and more offensive. So I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that ends up.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Called early in the game, called early in the game,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: so that the game is it's something that people want
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: to watch and people will stop holding and fouling and grabbing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Just call it early in the game.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Right right, established what you're going to what the standard is?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurly with us. We have Providence to talk about.
