• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to Marquette on Sunday one thirty pre game here on
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the Yukon Sports Network. Dan, I was driving home from
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Providence on Wednesday, and, like the women, your team got
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: off to a fabulous start at Xavier, which is not
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: an easy place to play, but you guys made it
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: look pretty easy in those first ten or twelve minutes
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: when he led what thirty to seven.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: It's not like our game.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I I they helped Bob. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: think it's you know, that game of Kansas early in
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the year. You know, I think when you uh, you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: when you go on the road, uh, you know, early
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: in the year and you go play you know, in
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: the hardest place to play in in all of college
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: basketball for us, you know, I think it just prepares
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you for you know, any any road environment and Xavier,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: you know, certainly and as far as Big E schools go,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: there's been a place for us that's been hard to
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: win at and a place that's really tough o opponents.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I think they got real smart, knowledgeable basketball people and
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: uh and then they got a student section that has
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: got the location which is perfect, which is right right
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: by our bench. I think our biggest issue was the
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: swim team during the game. I think was probably you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: the there the sight of them was probably the toughest
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: thing we probably had to deal with because we played
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: uh uh, you got off to a fast start and
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: kind of quite of the building right now.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Was it defense starting offense? Was it that? Or was
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: it just playing that well on both ends of the floor.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I thought, Brailan, I thought we had a you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a really good start. I thought, you know, we had
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: guys that you know that we need to play, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: both ends of the court. We need guys you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: like Braylan like solo making plays defensively, you know, making shots.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: You know. So it was like good execution. It was
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: guys making plays off script. It was it was good execution.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: It was being dialed into scouting report. Uh. You know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I thought Luke did a great job of giving those
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: guys a you know, great game plan, and I thought
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: we you know, really rebounded the ball. I think, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: we did a lot of things well and and really
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: set a tone and knocked them on their.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Heels forty two rebounds. Heck, you had twenty six assists. Now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a season high, but you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the team that I cover, I mean twenty assists per
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: games the norm for them.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Has the ball movement gotten better?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I know turnovers has been an issue as of late,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but it just I mean, you get twenty six assists,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you're doing a lot of things well on the floor offensively.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean that's a neighborhood that we've you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: when we're at our best and you're a top team
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and you're championship level team, you know, your your twenty
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: plus every night, and you know, for us, uh, that's
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: where we should be. You know, we we've got the
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: potential to have a great dominant inside game. I think
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that we've got some guys, some flamethrowers from the perimeter
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: with Solo and Alex and Braylan and UH and some
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: scoring punch off the bench with Jalen Stewart and Jayden Ross.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: We've got a couple of really, really good point guards,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and we've got all the ingredients to be a top
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: a top offensive team. But we've got to We've got
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to get better in transition, just getting more opportunities running
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and UH and and the turnovers have been a problem.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: And you know, I've been all over these guys. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: got to take better care of the ball, not be
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: as careless with it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Mike is back. We'll get him in a couple of minutes.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Here, I want to ask you about Alex and what
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he has done here leadership wise.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: He's the captain. Now that you guys are back.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Fully healthy for the most part and integrated, how has
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: he been able to keep things together and keep you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: guys in the right frame of mind.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean he thinks like a coach, Bob. He's
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: got the mentality and like the understanding of the game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Just what we're doing on offense, just our rules of
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: engagement on defense are just the technical aspects of what
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: we're trying to do on offense with our system, the
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: different things we're running. He knows it as well as
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: a coach, and he's able to kind of communicate a
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: lot of things to guys on the court while they're happening.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Things they need to do. Get under a screen, get
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: over a screen, switch a screen, send it to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: baseline side, trap the post, and at the offensive end.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: And he's able to be a problem problem identifier and
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: solver her there as well, just communicating spots that players
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: need to be in while producing, you know, at a
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: real high level. You know, it's a it's a deep
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: team and it's a balanced team. So his numbers aren't,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: you know, aren't going to stand out. But he's played,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Uh you know, he's on a top five team in
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the country. Uh, that's had probably the biggest wins in
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: college basketball this year in terms of the totality what
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: we did in a non conference. You know, he's he's
• 6:32
