  Speaker 1: Hi everyone, and welcome to another edition of the Yukon
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Women's Basketball Coaches Show. Bob Joyce gino Oriama Currently later
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: on we'll have one of his players as our guest
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of segments of the show. And
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Huskies are coming off not only a successful run
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in the Bahamas, but it went over Holy Cross on Tuesday,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and I guess look, the end result is pretty much
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: what we expected. How you got there Tuesday night, though,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: was a different story. And this is not uncommon. You
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: come off a trip where you're away for a long
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: period of time and you were gone for a week
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in the Bahamas in the first half. Can give credit
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: where credits due. I thought holy Cross got after it
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in the first half, and you even said that at
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: halftime talking to Chelsea on sn Y. But it took
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a half to get going.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we kind of felt it. You know, maybe
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: if we have played them, you know, we got back Saturday,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: if we have played them Sunday, maybe would have been okay.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it hits you a few days
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: after you get back. So I saw it somewhat. I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: saw it coming. And with holy Cross, you know, they
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: are very patient, so they make you frustrate a little
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: bit because how patient they are. Then they make shots.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: You know, one kid was shooting seventeen percent from the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: three point line or something made, or first two. You know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: things that things that you know, you know are going
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to happen. But I just you know, I just know that.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: As I said, you know after the game, we just
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: had these periods where it's, yeah, there there just isn't
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: There isn't enough of a leadership being exerted. I think
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we have a kind of a laid back team, you
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: know that kind of if things are going great, they're
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: going great. If they're not going great, okay, you know
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: they're not going great, and there isn't this urgency to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you know, to get get out of it. We just
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: kind of like wait for it to end and then
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: we like we did against Ole Miss. You know, we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: come out in the third quarter and you know, they
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: go on a run and where does that go. Okay, well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: let's let them finish their run and then we'll get back.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not anything I can do about it
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: right now, but you know that's a part of our
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: team right now, and little by little I hope we
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: grow out of it, but right now, you know, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I won't be surprised if it's the same way on Saturday, you're.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Taking a Louisville team down at the Barclay Center, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about later.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Run.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I thought Morgan Shelley gave you some really good minutes
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: off the bench. Among the many that did, I mean
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: everyone had double figure minutes with the exception of Ali
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and Cadence, but Morgan gave us almost eighteen minutes, not
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: only scored the ball well with eight season high for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: her couple of assists, she had a steal, and she
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: really gave you some quality minutes in the game among many.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she did, and she's capable of doing that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I think she's got a skill set where she helps
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you in various ways. When she touches the ball, she's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: pretty comfortable with it, whether it's in the lane, on
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the perimeter. She's confident in her shot. You know, she's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: active on the boards, so you know she can earn
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: herself those kinds of minutes. You know, she continues to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: practice well, and that's that's a great sign because you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: our our debt has it has a chance to be
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: one of our strengths. You know, you know, you're looking
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: at two starters from last year that could be starters
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: right now, and you know no one would be be surprised. So,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, we need to get something out of for
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: our bench from either Jenna or Morgan. Every night. One
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: of those two has to come through. If they both do,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: then I think that's trendous. Right.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Ashland and KK. It seems like KK has
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: fit into a role well. She was more aggressive offensively
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday night. But is Ashland still trying to figure
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: out her role now that she's coming off the bench now,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: or or you know, there was a quick cook first
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: half but then the immediately put her back in to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: start the second quarter. Is she still trying to find
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: her way with the new role with the depth that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you have now.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean, whether she's starting or
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: coming off the bench, smacking somebody who's taking a jump
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: shot in the first minute of the game is probably
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a good way to get your butt on the bench.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You know, we've been harping and harping and harping about
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: our fouling shooters, which is just an immortal sin in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: basketball that you foul someone taking a jump shot. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: last year I would have just screamed and yelled, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I can't take her out This year, I think all
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: these kids, not just ash, they're finding out they better
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: be solid, and they better be disciplined, and they better
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: do it exactly the way we want it done because
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: we have options now. So her role is the same
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: as it was last year. It's just and starts. Instead
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of starting the game, you come off the bench, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: what are you gonna do, well, the same thing you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: did as a starter. You gotta play hard, you gotta compete,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you gotta you know, make open shots. You know, nothing's changed,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: it's just rather than starting the game, you're you're you're
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: gonna have to wait a couple of minutes and then
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: you go out and you do the same thing you
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: would if you were a starter. And and KK I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: think was non existing in the first half and play
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: great in the second half. So you know, I think
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that the more that they do those things, the better
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna the more they they they do
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: those things, the more they're gonna contribute, and the more
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: they're gonna play.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right more with Gino coming up, thanks for joining us.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's the U kind of women's basketball coaches show here
• 6:52
