  Chris Daly is here, and first of all, thank you for coming upstairs
• 0:04
  to visit with us. I'll check for her. Yeah that was you got
• 0:08
  some cardio in breath, I could. I think it's the excitement of the
• 0:13
  team. Yes, good team. When would you say this was the most
• 0:17
  physical game this team played has played this year. It was definitely physical,
• 0:22
  But you know, I think that's their style of play. That's how they
• 0:24
  played us last year. It's probably been how they've played us the last few
• 0:28
  years, maybe even in their with their previous coach. They were always very
• 0:31
  physical. And but I thought we regrouped and I don't know that we handled
• 0:37
  it great when it first started happening in the first quarter, But the third
• 0:42
  quarter was just terrific. I mean, what could you say. Our defense
• 0:47
  was good, our offense, we ran our stuff, We had a you
• 0:50
  know, we got a lot of steels. Our guards had a bunch of
• 0:52
  steels. We only had eight turnovers season low. Yeah, so that was
• 0:56
  pretty good. It seemed as a unit. I think you talk about the
• 1:00
  communication and what you like to see on the team. It seemed that was
• 1:03
  evident because just the rotations and how they work together as a unit. Yeah,
• 1:07
  at the beginning, we weren't really doing a good job with trying.
• 1:11
  What we were trying to do is keep Aleah in and we just got caught
• 1:15
  in some mismatches early on that we didn't handle well. But once I think
• 1:19
  we got into it and we the communication improved. I think that made it
• 1:22
  more difficult for them to score. I thought we did a good job on
• 1:26
  the kid Ransom, she's a tough player, and kept her a little bit
• 1:29
  under her average. You know, we gave up some threes, but they
• 1:34
  shot and they ended up shooting about their average. You know, they shoot
• 1:37
  twenty seven percent from three, So if we were going to give up something,
• 1:40
  we figured we could give up some of that. But you know,
• 1:42
  I thought Nica played really well. She knocked in a bunch of key threes
• 1:46
  and then her assists. She should have had ten, but she should have
• 1:52
  had a double dough. Yeah, well that happens. But everybody did a
• 1:55
  little something, you know. I think we got ice and Q. I
• 1:57
  think was a little more nervous than usual this first time she's come playing home
• 2:01
  in her area. This is where she's from, Arend, right, So
• 2:05
  I think she's maybe a little more anxious than than normal, but ended up
• 2:10
  playing well. I thought Ice gave us some good minutes. Ash played great
• 2:16
  KK. You know, so we did a lot of good things. Chris,
• 2:20
  we were talking in the fourth quarter. We have a segment called points
• 2:23
  of the Paint that sponsored, and it was weird. The points of the
• 2:25
  paint and the second chance points were very much different, which is kind of
• 2:31
  odd, but that was the case today. You had, you know,
• 2:35
  you dominated the paint, but then the second chance points were all Georgetown today.
• 2:38
  Yeah, I would want to look at the film a little bit because
• 2:43
  I don't know how you judge that. That's a hard Page is already complaining
• 2:46
  that they missed her offensive rebound. I said, Page, when you only
• 2:50
  have one, it's so sad that you know they missed the one that you
• 2:54
  had. But we did, you know, being down Aubrey, we really
• 3:00
  have to become a better rebound We had to become a better rebounding team before
• 3:02
  that. Now we lose, you know, our one of our best rebounders.
• 3:07
  So we really have to do that by committee, and that's gonna have
• 3:12
  to be by our guards. And Ash I think has the capability to be
• 3:15
  a better rebounder. She got in there and mixed it up a little today.
• 3:17
  You know, Page has to be a better rebounder. Nika is already
• 3:21
  a good rebounder, so she enjoys the contact. She's want to add.
• 3:23
  Of all the guards, she she's probably the one that enjoys the physicalness of
• 3:29
  a game more than anybody else. So we just have a lot of work
• 3:32
  to do. But you know, to finish the week. We knew going
• 3:36
  in we had Creighton and and uh, Georgetown, and we knew we were
• 3:42
  making it extended trip. So to come at the end of this and and
• 3:47
  be two and oh, we feel pretty good, especially with the injury,
• 3:51
  and so you know, we could have ended a lot of different ways,
• 3:53
  and it ended the way we wanted it to. I think it's most impressive
• 3:59
  too, with all that, you know, all the turbulence, different things
• 4:00
  going on. That's it a four stretch where the consistency throughout the game you
• 4:05
  really didn't have drop off. Yes, I know, imperfections, but yeah,
• 4:10
  no, this is the first game where we got out rebounded. The
• 4:13
  last three or four, including Louisville, Creighton, Marquette against some physical teams,
• 4:17
  we outrebounded them. And this is the first game and not having Aubrey
• 4:21
  plays a role in that, I think. But as long as we can
• 4:25
  continue to get better at it and concentrate on it and and be able to
• 4:29
  run our stuff and get good looks, and you know, we shoot the
• 4:30
  ball pretty well. I think we shop fifty percent from the floor. So
• 4:34
  we have to give her That's how, you know, we have to figure
• 4:36
  out ways to give ourselves the best chance to win. Ashlyn gave you two
• 4:40
  blocks day. I'm not discussing that she knew that was going to be the
• 4:45
  case. She did say that I'm not we aren't. We are not.
• 4:48
  Our guards are not shoplockers, and her and NK are under this impression that
• 4:51
  they should be a shoplockers. No no, I threatened that I wasn't going
• 4:56
  to let her a postgame meal the other day if she tried to attempt to
• 4:59
  block another shot. So I don't know what I'm gonna do. They hear
• 5:01
  you loud and clear. I don't know what I'm gonna do today. She
• 5:03
  should just get in the crowd and not even look at me when she does
• 5:06
  stuff like that. Now it's a little different, although like we should be
• 5:10
  able to take charges, so it's a little bit different when it's against a
• 5:14
  kid that was her size. It's when they tried to block shots of guys
• 5:17
  way bigger than them. That really right, like, there's no way that's
• 5:20
  happening. No way. Was that the page foul that picked up. I
• 5:24
  think Gina looked a little. I think, oh no, against the four
• 5:28
  going in for the layup, and well, that didn't try she didn't try
• 5:30
  to block it. She led a kid that shouldn't go by her, go
• 5:32
  buy her. Oh like that, you know, someone that is six to
• 5:36
  three pages quicker than she is. There's no way that kids should have gotten
• 5:41
  by. So that wasn't a block shot. But that's a whole nother story.
• 5:46
  But we visited two very powerful places in the nation's capital last couple of
• 5:50
  days. Arlington. You saw the changing of the guard, and then he
• 5:54
  went to the Holocaust Museum. We also some of us went to the African
• 5:58
  American Museum. Okay, also, so we split yesterday. Had you ever
• 6:01
  been in the Holocaust Museum? And I didn't go yesterday? I know I
• 6:04
  didn't. I went to the African American Museum and everything was powerful. You
• 6:12
  know, it's funny. I told them that they were supposed to take you
• 6:15
  know, notes and five things that they came back with and justice, you
• 6:19
  know, the slavery, the Martin Luther King for me, Martin Luther King,
• 6:24
  and then being able to see some of the they have it broken down.
• 6:27
  You can see the people in sports just you know, just impactful things
• 6:31
  that you don't think about. And then Nika. It was funny because Nica
• 6:36
  asked me about it. In her mind, she didn't really connect why there'd
• 6:41
  be a museum in the US because in her mind that happened in Europe,
• 6:46
  you know, like that wasn't But now she gets it, you know,
• 6:48
  she understands, and you know, she came back with some facts, you
• 6:53
  know, with Hitler and just it was really a good experience for our players.
• 6:57
  Yeah. No, and they actually now know what the Arlington Cemetery.
• 7:00
  They know how many steps they take, they know how long they do it.
• 7:02
  They know why it's twenty one steps. You know why it's twenty one
• 7:06
  step? Oh? I remember being told I don't remember why. Okay,
• 7:11
  Well it's like a twenty one gun salute, right, and that's why it's
• 7:15
  twenty one. But do you know how we got the twenty one gun salute?
• 7:17
  How? Okay, I'll tell you a little story. Well, all
• 7:19
  right, this is years ago. So years ago, Gino asked our team,
• 7:25
  He said, can you tell me how we got the twenty one gun
• 7:27
  salut? And this was before Google, and he said, you can find
• 7:29
  out any which way and if you have twenty four hours and I will buy
• 7:32
  the person that gets at dinner. So he and I went recruiting and it
• 7:35
  was running out on the time. I said, oh my god, I
• 7:39
  said, I still have time. So I call my brother, my older
• 7:42
  brother, who knows lots about history, literally asked him. I said,
• 7:46
  Michael, how do we get twenty one gun salute without hesitation? Didn't think?
• 7:50
  He said, oh, that's easy. Seventeen seventy six when you add
• 7:54
  them up, that's how you get twenty one seventy six. Yes, and
• 7:57
  that's how you get twenty one w Yes, and I got the dinner,
• 8:01
  although Gino said it wasn't there because I asked my brother. No, I
• 8:03
  just won. So but anyway, that's how you get twenty one stuff.
• 8:07
  Yeah, that's I got. I like that. Now, did you now?
• 8:11
  Did the team go rounder than the watching the Changing of the Guard?
• 8:15
  Did they go visit some of the other spots? Yeah, Lincoln Memorial,
• 8:18
  although that was I mean, I was just watching Arlington. Oh yeah,
• 8:22
  I think they. I didn't get to go to that party either, Okay,
• 8:24
  but yeah, I think they went to some other things in Arlington because
• 8:26
  I oh they did because Nika knew that there's only two presidents that are buried
• 8:31
  there. Yea, who they are Kennedy obviously and who's the other, Wow,
• 8:35
  William taff Oh see that's good. Yeah, so I'm gonna feel little
• 8:39
  bit smarter when it comes. There's a few astronauts in there that I know
• 8:43
  of. Two of the Apollo one astronauts are in there that were killed in
• 8:48
  the fire in the sixties. The other was at West Point. Yeah.
• 8:50
  Yeah, it's just really I think and they were and our players are really
• 8:54
  good with that sort of stuff, you know. I think they enjoy learning
• 8:58
  different things. And we were here for an extended period of time, and
• 9:01
  the other options, what are you going to sit in a hotel? No?
• 9:03
  And yesterday was rained the entire day. Yeah, Friday, I did
• 9:07
  Aaron Space Allan and I walked around air and space, US History and we
• 9:11
  went to the archives. Well I did tell them we should go to the
• 9:13
  Treasury, so we could see where the money's made. Well, see,
• 9:16
  I'm going to say you've always been very big on making it, teaching your
• 9:22
  teams back and from my day, wherever you go, it's all about bigger
• 9:24
  than basketball, and it is about history and understanding those past. So you'll
• 9:31
  be happy. Our players did not know the capitol of Nebraska so that they
• 9:35
  said Omaha, they did not know it was Lincoln. So I think you've
• 9:39
  played. We still are teaching them so as you should. Chris. We'll
• 9:46
  see you Wednesday. All right, thank you. Chris Daily wrapping things up
• 9:48
  here for Washington
