  Speaker 1: I mean, we got a six hour plane ride home.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: You know it's going to be less than six hours.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I think, do you have reading?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Do I reading? I have Marquette?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, well I want first of all, we got
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: to start defensively. My god, you guys were good today.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We were good. We were very good. I thought our
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: pressure was good. I thought we really really focused on
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: what we wanted to do and try to limit their
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: best players. I thought we did a terrific job on
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Jazzy Davidson. She's a really good players, had a great
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: year so far, and I thought we made it very
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: difficult for her to operate.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: It seems offensively that you had a lot of different scoring.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: It started strong with Williams and the paint, getting the
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: points in the paint, but opportunities everywhere with good ball movement.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we thought that they would have difficulty
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: guarding our movement and that's what the that's what happened.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought we made some really great cuts
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and good passing. We shared the ball and we were
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: very balanced, very balanced, and you know, I don't and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it's funny because Sarah's strong didn't have one of her
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: best scoring games, but still has an impact on the game.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I thought Azy played really well on both ends of
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the floor. We rebounded the ball well, which was good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: We just got you know, we have to It's part
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of only being in nine games. We have to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit smarter, not foul as much, especially in
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: CDI.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: This was a game that had eight lead changes in
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the first seven minutes. Blanca Kenyonas comes in and totally
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: changes the game, starts a fifteen to nothing run.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Her contributions were big today.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The only thing with Blanc is sometimes you don't
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: know if she's gonna help you or the other team.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It can happen both in the same possession. Some days it's,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, she helps us and then the next possession she
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: helps them. But she just you know, can change. Like
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you said, she can come in and change the game
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: immediately on both ends. She did on the defensive end
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and was able to get layups, and just the more
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: experience she gets with us because you know, and I
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: think we mentioned I don't know if we talked about this,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the shot clock. So she played the overseas where the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: shot clock and they had only eight seconds to get
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the ball over half court. So she is sped up constantly,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: whereas we want to take a breath sometime. So balancing
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: her quickness and her speed and those abilities with you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: score time situation. I think as she gets more experience here,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I think it'll help her.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: You talk about I feel an unsung hero role that
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: in her role, Ashley, she does a lot of good
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: things too. It just happens to you know, feed the
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: aggressor on defense, does what she needs to do on offense.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Just you know, one of those une sung roles that
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: seems to do a really good job with well.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And today she knocked in shots too, so she, like
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you said, it's another position where I think she we
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: have kids on our team that are just willing to
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: do what we need them to do at that point.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And Ash today ended up getting double digits, knocked in
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: some threes, made some really good help, you know, showed
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: up some defensively, was able to help us out. She's hard,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know, when ash is playing like that, it's hard
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to take her out of the game, you know. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I think she ended up playing it maybe the entire.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Third quarter or yeah, scored eight points doing that third quarter.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she you know, that's certainly the balance and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: just being able to put people in and just having
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: them do their job. With the Jane, I thought, gave
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: us good minutes off the bench just to do your job,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: do what we need you to do at that time.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Nothing crazy, just you know, fill.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: In final thing for me. One great thing about today.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: You had a big lead at halftime, you basically put
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: pedal to the metal in the fourth, kept them out,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: kept the foot down the throat, and you.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Finished them a good yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I thought in some of our previous
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: games the third quarter, you know, we were a little
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: more lackadaisical, and I thought we did a good job,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: as you said, to to really focus and concentrate and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: make it difficult on them. They weren't going to get
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: back in the game. Although the fans, if you would,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: if you didn't know anything, you would think the game
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: was closer though they were a cheering when they scored.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But I thought we did a really good job keeping
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: them at bay and really making a good team not
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: look very
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Good, right, Ceey will see on the plane, all right,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you,
