  And a very happy Chris Daly is Willis boy. That game escalated quickly.
• 0:06
  I mean we're talking twenty six all. I would say that ten minute frame
• 0:11
  between the five minute mark of the second to maybe the six minutes played mark
• 0:16
  of the third. Wow, Yeah, we we got some separation there.
• 0:21
  We ran our offense, we knocked in some shots who didn't start great.
• 0:26
  We made it, you know, a couple of mistakes defensively and gave up
• 0:29
  some shots to players that we didn't want to give up threes too. But
• 0:32
  in that spurt, I thought we held our own on the defensive end,
• 0:35
  and we knocked in Chassel on the offense in And it wasn't just Page,
• 0:38
  I mean it was everybody. Nack made a ash, made a couple of
• 0:42
  big plays. I thought she made a layup, and it knocked into three
• 0:45
  when Nika drove right, just did a lot of pretty good things out there
• 0:49
  right to take her out. You know, it's funny. She ends up
• 0:52
  playing a lot of minutes and it's she never gets tired. So it helps
• 0:57
  because we only have seven guys right now that are in the rotation. But
• 1:02
  no, it was a great win. It's not an easy place to play.
• 1:03
  They're a physical team, but I think one of the things that you
• 1:07
  probably saw was they didn't hit the offensive class like they normally do because they
• 1:11
  were concerned about our transition, right, so you know, they other than
• 1:17
  us. The first time, they've out rebounded everybody they played, and now
• 1:19
  they did not rebound out rebound us the second time. Department again. Yeah,
• 1:23
  yeah, so that was that was good. I mean, I thought
• 1:26
  Alia didn't have a great game, but to come back and have a double
• 1:29
  double that was really good. You know, start out so had some fouls,
• 1:34
  but a lot of good things. I mean, I think you gave
• 1:38
  us some good minutes. He made some defensive plays and then knocks in a
• 1:41
  shot and gets her hands on some loose balls. But just happy, happy
• 1:46
  for KK, thank god that she didn't foul out or that she got to
• 1:53
  play in front of some some of her home fans. What was the defensive
• 1:55
  game plan coming in? What was the focus the offensive game plan, the
• 1:59
  defensive game the defensive well, obviously the King and Carlin were their two best
• 2:06
  players, and trying to limit their touches, trying to really we were switching
• 2:10
  a lot. We were supposed to go over every screen, but we did
• 2:14
  not do that, which is how they got some of their threes. But
• 2:17
  then the other kid came in twelve, and she's a good shooter and we
• 2:22
  knew that hair and just knocked in some shots too. So you know,
• 2:25
  I think we bared down and we got the stops that we needed to get.
• 2:30
  But by the end of the game they were tired. I thought are
• 2:32
  conditioning. We were probably a little more conditioned, and the pace in the
• 2:37
  end had an impact on them. Yeah, eleven steels, only eight turnovers.
• 2:40
  I think fifteen turnovers total against Mark Kenton two games rebound them we had,
• 2:46
  I know, we had only five in the first half and three,
• 2:49
  no six in the first half, and we had three of those were offensive
• 2:51
  charges. So we didn't we got shots at we got shots at the basket.
• 2:55
  You know, we didn't turn it over and have mindless turnovers until maybe
• 2:59
  the last minute or so, Right, was it Paige s knock knees when
• 3:04
  she took that offensive file when she went down? Do you have to bring
• 3:07
  up the fact that she thinks she took it. She didn't. They didn't
• 3:09
  call it. Yeah they did. I hate when that happens. She had
• 3:15
  two more blocks. I won't say that either. Yeah. Well I also
• 3:17
  think, well, we're gonna have to watch the film because I think this
• 3:20
  kid crossed her up on defense, but she says it didn't happen. Okay,
• 3:24
  but yeah, she just bangednees. But hard to keep her off the
• 3:29
  court. And certainly, you know the answer she had at halftime with that
• 3:32
  three, she was, you know, they shoot those at the end of
• 3:35
  shoot around, So that was kind of fitting that she made. In fact,
• 3:39
  today I think they even had the video camera her and KK filming each
• 3:45
  other. I don't think they made one, you know. I mean we
• 3:47
  usually see here with the ball last chance, with the last shot. I
• 3:50
  figured she was due to make one of those eventually. I didn't think it
• 3:53
  was going But that's good. You know, that's Paige. She thinks every
• 3:58
  show's going in. Yeah, that's a good way for her to think.
• 4:00
  All right, who's got the big Saturday scout? Uh? Jamil Okay.
• 4:03
  So it'll be fun. I mean, it'll be a lot of We have
• 4:06
  tomorrow off, which will be good because we'll get home late tonight. It's
• 4:10
  a great weekend. We've got our two, our three or four. However,
• 4:15
  many championship teams are going to be honored and a lot of those players
• 4:16
  are coming back, which is awesome. They're gonna our kids are gonna have
• 4:20
  a chance to spend some time with them, which I think is always good.
• 4:24
  You know, you want the you know, the tradition of your program
• 4:27
  to be passed down. Some of those traditions I may not want to be
• 4:30
  passed down now that they're telling the stories. But and then the games that
• 4:35
  you know, Saturday night is going to be primetime and our students will be
• 4:40
  out there, everyone is. It's been a sell up for a long time
• 4:43
  and it's a rematch that we're looking forward to now Saturday. I asked you
• 4:47
  about Caroline and it wasn't had nothing to do with the on basketball stuff because
• 4:50
  I I know, given what I've seen this year, I didn't think she
• 4:54
  was coming back anyways. What I was just asking is how is she doing
• 4:58
  as far as just you know, getting trying to get back to a normal
• 5:00
  life, because I mean this really kicked her butt this year. You know,
• 5:04
  I think if you look at at her comments, that that's what she's
• 5:08
  going to focus on and that's what's the most important. So whatever she has
• 5:13
  to do that with the team of people that she's doing it with and the
• 5:15
  support of her teammates and everyone in our program and on campus. We're just
• 5:20
  doing whatever Caroline needs to do, you know, and weather that's you know,
• 5:25
  give her a pat on the back, whatever it is. But you
• 5:29
  know, the hope is that taking care of all of this now and getting
• 5:32
  a chance to rest and do whatever it is that the doctors are suggesting that
• 5:38
  she do, that that that gives her an opportunity and that's you know,
• 5:41
  but most important, as you said, it's it's a quality of life and
• 5:45
  making sure that that's the basketball part is definitely secondary. Yeah. I usually
• 5:48
  asked, you know about that during the coaches show, because look, we
• 5:51
  don't want people to forget Caroline. People always ask me about her, but
• 5:55
  I just want to make sure her well being because I know, first and
• 5:58
  foremost health is most important, right, But it's also her, you know,
• 6:01
  her, it's her life, it's her personal business, and you know,
• 6:04
  we can certainly appreciate people's interests in it. But it's also she's a
• 6:09
  quiet kid, you know, she's not She's not one that you know,
• 6:13
  spreads her business or shares her life in that way. With a lot of
• 6:15
  people. So I hope everyone you know, continues to wish her well and
• 6:19
  if they see her, say hello. But you know, just know that
• 6:25
  she's doing whatever she needs to do and what you know, what's important to
• 6:28
  her and and we're hoping for the best tonight. Great wind. See Andrew
• 6:34
  Jackson was here. I did. I'm doing my status. I look up
• 6:36
  and it's like there he is, incognito in the front road and he vis
• 6:40
  you guys in the locker room. I didn't get to I don't think he
• 6:42
  came back. He may have left before that. But he's one of my
• 6:44
  favorites. So he's a good guy. He sure is something he used and
• 6:47
  we could have subbed him in so many intangils with that young man. He's
• 6:55
  a really probably one of the most interesting college students I've met in my entire
• 7:00
  career, very very unique in a very positive way. Correct for sure.
• 7:05
  There's a reason why he helped lead them to a championships. He's uh,
• 7:11
  he's a special kid. All right, We'll see you on the bus,
• 7:13
  all right, Thanks Chris. Chris Daily Daily Recap
