Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, coach Tally, you win another big East championship title,
- 0:04Speaker 1: tournament title. You didn't just win it, you did it demonstrably.
- 0:07Speaker 1: And if your team pretty much seemed to follow what
- 0:09Speaker 1: you wanted in the scout, it's true. Are you gonna
- 0:13Speaker 1: say something different?
- 0:14Speaker 2: No, No. I thought our defense was terrific. I thought
- 0:17Speaker 2: we had a really good shoot around today regarding our
- 0:20Speaker 2: defensive strategy. And I thought the kids just really k case.
- 0:27Speaker 2: That started us off, and we just did a tremendous
- 0:29Speaker 2: job on a very good player and a team.
- 0:32Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing too, pulling over with
- 0:35Speaker 1: a good team. They have quality players, they played, you know,
- 0:38Speaker 1: quality things, but you took them out of what they
- 0:40Speaker 1: wanted to do tonight.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that not playing as well
- 0:44Speaker 2: as we had wanted to down at their place and
- 0:48Speaker 2: having a lot of people say a lot of stuff
- 0:49Speaker 2: about it, I think our kids were a little fired
- 0:51Speaker 2: up and ready to not let not. I wanted to
- 0:54Speaker 2: make a statement that were better than that and that
- 0:57Speaker 2: you know, and it's a championship and time you have
- 1:00Speaker 2: a chance to win a championship, we play at a
- 1:03Speaker 2: certain level.
- 1:04Speaker 1: We certainly showed that. You talk about KK setting the tone.
- 1:07Speaker 1: You had players come off the bench, everyone putting that
- 1:10Speaker 1: defense of pressure together. Seemed like a nice unit.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought we made some adjustments to our pressure
- 1:18Speaker 2: after this second game because they had made some adjustments,
- 1:21Speaker 2: and I thought we handled, you know, their press hafense
- 1:24Speaker 2: really well and we made it a KK. I can't
- 1:27Speaker 2: say enough about her, made it so difficult for Basco
- 1:31Speaker 2: to even touch the ball. I mean, she had four
- 1:33Speaker 2: points in the first half and finished with fourteen, certainly
- 1:37Speaker 2: when the game was in hand. So you know, KK
- 1:40Speaker 2: deserves a lot of credit.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and it stood out. And then I'm partial to
- 1:45Speaker 1: you know, somebody being able to dictate it from the
- 1:47Speaker 1: defensive end, you know, but I mean I'm amazingly there.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And then as for Sarah Strong and you know, just
- 1:53Speaker 1: to be able to top off a great sophomore campaign.
- 1:57Speaker 1: And then all she wants to say is it's about
- 1:59Speaker 1: her teammates, and I think that's this volume. Still.
- 2:02Speaker 2: No, she's such a humble person, but she's a winner.
- 2:07Speaker 2: She does what she has to do what our team means.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't realize she had I think in
- 2:11Speaker 2: two games eight seals before tonight, right, So she just
- 2:17Speaker 2: says a little bit of everything. It's almost shocking to
- 2:19Speaker 2: me when she doesn't, you know, when her shots don't
- 2:22Speaker 2: fall or whatever. But she'll have a lot to do
- 2:27Speaker 2: with how far we're able to go in the tournament.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Well, saying that, so, how long do you get to
- 2:31Speaker 1: actually enjoy this accomplishment before you get back to work
- 2:35Speaker 1: and put the eyes set on SCAA.
- 2:39Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting this week. We probably would do
- 2:42Speaker 2: it a little differently if this week was spring break,
- 2:45Speaker 2: but spring break isn't until next week, so the kids
- 2:48Speaker 2: have to be on campus anyway, so they'll get two
- 2:50Speaker 2: days off, we'll get some work in, then we'll wait
- 2:52Speaker 2: for the selection show on Sunday, and then that'll determine
- 2:55Speaker 2: what the rest of the week looks like, whether we
- 2:58Speaker 2: play Friday, Sunday or Saturday Monday.
- 3:00Speaker 1: So how are you going to keep them hungry? I'm
- 3:01Speaker 1: thinking they're already hungry. This team has impressed me how
- 3:04Speaker 1: fresh they look when you give them opportunities to have
- 3:07Speaker 1: something in sight for tournament time.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I don't you know, I think kids today it's hard
- 3:13Speaker 2: to ask them to do a lot to keep at
- 3:15Speaker 2: the same level all the way from October September, all
- 3:18Speaker 2: the way to now. But now we're in the last
- 3:19Speaker 2: three weeks of the season, and so I think they
- 3:22Speaker 2: know that and they'll be ready.
- 3:25Speaker 1: All right, Well, congratulations, well done. We'll see you guys
- 3:27Speaker 1: a couple weeks
