- 0:00Speaker 1: We were just talking about the prototypical NBA player now
- 0:03Speaker 1: not too tall, can do everything. Well, you've got one
- 0:06Speaker 1: of those in Sarah Strong. The thing that I like
- 0:08Speaker 1: most about Sarah she plays at her own pace. It
- 0:13Speaker 1: doesn't ever seem rushed with her, especially when she's attacking
- 0:16Speaker 1: the rim, Like if she's dribbling the ball up, she'll
- 0:18Speaker 1: find her spot, find her angle to the basket, and
- 0:22Speaker 1: just go.
- 0:22Speaker 2: But it's not.
- 0:23Speaker 1: It never seems like it's out of control with her.
- 0:26Speaker 1: She dictates the pace kind of like what Paige used
- 0:28Speaker 1: to do.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Yeah, not like some people. I don't want to mention
- 0:33Speaker 3: names that drive in there one hundred miles an hour,
- 0:35Speaker 3: throw the ball, it hits the bottom of the backboard,
- 0:38Speaker 3: and then they fall down. Like I've seen that happen.
- 0:42Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't remember who did it,
- 0:44Speaker 3: but it happens. You never see that with her. She
- 0:49Speaker 3: just as constantly as as you said, in a state
- 0:54Speaker 3: of I've got control.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Of what I'm doing.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Nobody's going to make me play faster than I want
- 1:00Speaker 3: to play. I'm not going to go in there and
- 1:02Speaker 3: shoot a lamp and fall down, don't. I'm not going
- 1:05Speaker 3: to do that. Hankers Area and burke Age. You see Burcates,
- 1:10Speaker 3: I don't. I don't like shoes. They make me fall down.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Never saw that.
- 1:17Speaker 3: You got top ten funniest movies of all time.
- 1:21Speaker 2: I'll take you, Okay, I'll take you.
- 1:23Speaker 3: If you want to see Gene Hackman in a role
- 1:25Speaker 3: like you've never seen them before, you need to watch.
- 1:27Speaker 4: Bricage, right, all right.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Maybe I'll don't Spartacus Spartacus, I am spark. Maybe I'll
- 1:35Speaker 2: don't download.
- 1:36Speaker 3: That I don't like shoes, They make me fall down.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I'll have to find that on Netflix and download it
- 1:40Speaker 1: when we go to Dallas for it worth that's not
- 1:43Speaker 1: a given, by the way. Speaking of which, NCAA Tournament
- 1:46Speaker 1: tickets for the first two rounds are on sale at Gamble.
- 1:50Speaker 1: It'll either be Friday the twentieth or Sunday the twenty second,
- 1:55Speaker 1: or the traditional Saturday Monday, which is usually what the
- 1:59Speaker 1: hust do. But go to u cuntickets dot com get
- 2:02Speaker 1: your tickets to see the Huskies for the last time
- 2:04Speaker 1: this season. And you know if they play when they
- 2:06Speaker 1: if let's not assume anything, but you know they get
- 2:10Speaker 1: to Monday.
- 2:10Speaker 2: You get to celebrate his birthday with him. At Campble Pavilion.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Oh is Monday, I believe it is.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Yes, that sounds right.
- 2:18Speaker 3: I know, but I hope we play Friday Sunday. Well,
- 2:21Speaker 3: look at camp it's I know, very very rare, very rare.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I just hope we play at a time. You know,
- 2:32Speaker 3: you play one game and you want to win that game,
- 2:37Speaker 3: and you play the next game and you want to
- 2:39Speaker 3: win that game. Obviously you don't. Will you worry too
- 2:42Speaker 3: much about when are they because for the players, it
- 2:46Speaker 3: doesn't really matter when iota when they are. We play
- 2:50Speaker 3: games at noon, we play at one, two, five, seven nine.
- 2:53Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't matter. But I think it needs
- 2:57Speaker 3: to be fan friendly all the time because if it's
- 3:00Speaker 3: fan friendly, then you're going to.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Get a great, great crowd.
- 3:05Speaker 3: So Saturday, you know when they've liked to put us
- 3:09Speaker 3: on TV on Saturday noon.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Like noon one o'clock.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's before the men's NCAA tournament games, right,
- 3:16Speaker 3: they don't start to one or two and you get
- 3:20Speaker 3: eyeballs and we get everybody's going to be watching that game.
- 3:24Speaker 3: So we get a pretty good draw on Saturday when
- 3:27Speaker 3: we play Saturday and then Monday. For a lot of
- 3:32Speaker 3: years we had the nine to thirty game, which was
- 3:34Speaker 3: horrible because you know, if you want to bring your
- 3:37Speaker 3: kids to the game, it's gonna come at nine thirty.
- 3:39Speaker 3: So lately we've been playing at seven so they can
- 3:44Speaker 3: show the West Coast game.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Right at that other hour.
- 3:48Speaker 3: So if they continue that, that works, that works the
- 3:51Speaker 3: best for our fans.
- 3:52Speaker 4: I think.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Now let's just typothetically speak speak here. If you're the
- 3:57Speaker 1: top seed, you're going to go to Fort Worth?
- 4:00Speaker 4: Is that true?
- 4:01Speaker 1: Well you think it's closest to home. Oh so we
- 4:03Speaker 1: won't be going well, so we'll.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Go south west instead of far west.
- 4:09Speaker 1: But anyhow, if you're the top seed, does that mean
- 4:12Speaker 1: and you get to this second weekend, does that automatically
- 4:15Speaker 1: mean you would play Friday Sunday as opposed to Saturday
- 4:18Speaker 1: Monday like you did last year?
- 4:20Speaker 2: I think who was the top seed last year? South Carolina?
- 4:23Speaker 2: That sound right?
- 4:23Speaker 4: And our reason in USA?
- 4:24Speaker 1: No, no, I'm talking overall like no one overall seed.
- 4:27Speaker 1: It was either South Carolina or U c LA forget.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I think it was UCLA was the number one seed,
- 4:33Speaker 3: number one, number one.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yes, thank you?
- 4:36Speaker 3: And then USC was number one and South Carolina US
- 4:41Speaker 3: South Carolina, USC and UCLA were the number ones last year, okay,
- 4:46Speaker 3: because we had to we beat three number ones.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Right that I remember? Okay, all right, got that clarified.
- 4:52Speaker 3: So I don't know when. I don't know when we
- 4:55Speaker 3: would play if we get to the regions. One big, one,
- 4:58Speaker 3: big bone of contention that happening in the NCAA, And
- 5:01Speaker 3: I don't know how they can fix this whatever, But
- 5:03Speaker 3: the fact that if you.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Play Monday night.
- 5:08Speaker 3: The semifinal was Friday, right, Tuesday is a travel day,
- 5:13Speaker 3: so you have two days to get ready for the
- 5:15Speaker 3: biggest game of the year in the middle of all
- 5:18Speaker 3: the stuff you have to do media wise and all
- 5:20Speaker 3: these obligations that you have at the final for So
- 5:22Speaker 3: that's why it's even more remarkable that we played Monday
- 5:26Speaker 3: night last year in Spokane, Washington. UCLA was already home
- 5:33Speaker 3: before our game even tipped off, and then we flew
- 5:39Speaker 3: You can't get any further, right, We flew from Spokane,
- 5:42Speaker 3: Washington to Tampa, Florida all day Tuesday, and then you know,
- 5:49Speaker 3: we had Wednesday, Thursday, and then we played Friday night.
- 5:51Speaker 4: We played pretty good. So played pretty good. Yeah, we
- 5:54Speaker 4: played pretty good.
- 5:55Speaker 3: So I don't know what what being the number one,
- 6:01Speaker 3: number one. It's it's has it been a while that
- 6:04Speaker 3: since we've been number one, number one? I think maybe
- 6:07Speaker 3: it has. So I don't know what that gets you.
- 6:11Speaker 3: I don't know whether that gets you play.
- 6:12Speaker 2: You would play Friday Sunday?
- 6:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and it detect me. Yeah.
- 6:15Speaker 3: We we have an issue in the women's basketball world
- 6:19Speaker 3: because the guys finished. The last you can finish with
- 6:22Speaker 3: the guys is on Sunday because they play Friday night Sunday.
- 6:28Speaker 2: The reversday Saturday, Friday Sunday.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Okay, so they play Friday Sunday, and so.
- 6:32Speaker 2: The final four is not till Saturday, exactly right.
- 6:35Speaker 3: So they finished Sunday, then they practice probably fly Monday,
- 6:40Speaker 3: and then they have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- 6:42Speaker 4: They've had four days before they play their next game.
- 6:46Speaker 4: We have two makes no sense.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Well, just keep winning.
- 6:52Speaker 3: The best, the best game, I mean, the toughest game,
- 6:54Speaker 3: the most important game of the year, and they give you.
- 6:57Speaker 3: And so I'm not complaining because again, no I'm talking
- 7:00Speaker 3: about that's for everybody, not just us. It's whoever plays
- 7:04Speaker 3: that Monday night game, even whoever plays that Sunday game,
- 7:08Speaker 3: you're still you know less than what the guys get
- 7:12Speaker 3: you know, and I thought back when we played in
- 7:17Speaker 3: the final four, when the final four was Sunday Tuesday,
- 7:23Speaker 3: that was really good because if you played in the
- 7:27Speaker 3: regional and the regional final was Monday, you didn't play
- 7:31Speaker 3: again until Sunday.
- 7:33Speaker 4: Right, So they've got a lot to look at.
- 7:36Speaker 3: They got a lot, and this two regional thing instead
- 7:38Speaker 3: of four, that's kind of crazy.
- 7:40Speaker 4: You know.
- 7:41Speaker 3: They say, well, it's for crowd. Neither none of those
- 7:43Speaker 3: places sold out.
- 7:46Speaker 2: You had a good crowd for your Sweet sixteen game
- 7:48Speaker 2: in the Spokane.
- 7:49Speaker 3: And none of those none of those places sold out.
- 7:52Speaker 3: So whatever number you had, let's say you had ten
- 7:55Speaker 3: thousand people, twelve thousand people at the game, even whatever
- 7:58Speaker 3: number you had, if you spread out around four sights
- 8:01Speaker 3: and you can get ten, twenty thirty, forty thousand, that's
- 8:05Speaker 3: a lot more than you got last year, and more
- 8:08Speaker 3: people from around the country get to see you. So
- 8:14Speaker 3: but nobody asked me because you know, what do I know,
- 8:17Speaker 3: I'm kind of new to this.
- 8:19Speaker 1: More with g you know, in just a minute, it's
- 8:21Speaker 1: the U KUT Women's Basketball Coaches Show live at Kaffe
