  Speaker 1: Wow, that was impressive today, and it was right from
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the get go and the pace. You team dictated the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: pace from start to finish today.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we knew going in that we needed
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to shoot the ball well and make it more our
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: threes against their twos with the strength and their offensive
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: rebounding and their post players.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: So we started off.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Strong and then you know, I thought Azy played great
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the second half, and well, I should say shot great
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the second half.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I thought you played well the first half.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: So you know, it's one of those things you don't
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: want to determine.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Whether you play well by how you shoot.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So I thought top to bottom we played really well
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and then we had guys step up and make big.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Shots and rebound.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: It was phenomenal. The rebounding was big.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I mean there was only I think a stretch maybe
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter where they got a bunch. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: for us to come in here and we played our
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: small lineup some I thought Jane played really really well,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: gave us a bigger body and they are so you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: top to bottom, it was just really really good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I was going to mention that you talk about ELFI
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: did a great job in the start, and then you
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: do come off at like some substitutions on their part.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: You come back with Ashton Shade, who comes in and
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: does her immediate impact coming off the bench.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I think coach challenged our guys in terms of,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know, we do these shooting drills and we make
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of threes in practice, and we're a good
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: shooting team, but we have to you know, you have
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: to do that in the game because if you did,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and you should be confident because.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: We shoot the ball so well.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: We do these drills and we have we've broken the record,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: our own record probably the last three times that we've
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: shot them. So it was time that we stepped up
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and shoot the ball with confidence. And I thought we
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: did that right from the start and then with it
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: so and I thought ash did a great job on
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the offensive board. She came out of nowhere, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I thought she did a really good job. We created
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: more and more opportunities for ourselves.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: And that's where allows me you say, okay, well, they
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: have so much size, So when you went to the
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: smaller lineup, so to speak, on the defensive end, you
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: didn't give it up. It looked like a couple times
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: they were trying to bury in, but your help defense
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: and you talk a lot about communications seemed to be
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: there right well.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And we also tried We did this a lot last
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: year with Aliyah having Leah stay low and try to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: defend the bigger whoever they're really trying to post up.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But I think the small lineup, while it creates problems
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: for us defensively and probably on the backboard some, it
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: also creates problems for them on the defensive end because
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's a hard matchup when Page would have been considered
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the four for her to have a matchup against the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: big guys, So I think on both ends, you have
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to live with it on one end and then understand
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that you're going to get some advantage on the other end.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Chris season high thirty one fast break points today thirty
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one against this group.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And that's another thing going in. You know, there's such
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a great offensive rebounding team and their transition. I'm impressed
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: by that only because when you watch them one film,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: their BIG's run so well, it's almost like the film
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is going fast forward, like it looks like it's beed up.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: That's how fast they get up. They get up and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: down the floor. So for us to maintain that and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to you know, outscore them in that area is big
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Chris, because of what you were able to do offensively,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: do you feel like you've forced them to take in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: some bad shots trying to get themselves back in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: game too.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think we had them a little
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: out of sorts because I think some I thought our
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: defense was really good. I thought we created that, you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: me maybe made them take some shots they didn't want
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to take, or shots that they maybe normally fall, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: they just didn't fall today. But we were really concentrating
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: on not giving up any open threes. I hope that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we did give up one because we went under and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: we weren't supposed to. But so we were really trying
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to you know, pop how is a dynamic player, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: last year she started the game off and played really
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: well against us knocking at threes. So you know, we
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: tried to learn from that and limit her really good
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: looks and you know, full whiley she's a tremendous talent.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's just so gifted athletically and on the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: offensive end that you know, we had to work really
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: hard to just try to keep her in front and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: then try to give, you know, whoever was guarding her
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: as much help as possible.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: It's college game day and the place is electric and rocking,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: yeah everything, and your team comes into a hostile environment,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: so to speak, that the cards are stacked against him.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Didn't seem rattled from tip.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Off, No, I thought, you know, we stunned the crowd
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit, and it felt like every time they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: tried to get back in it. And the start of
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the second half, a'sy had an answer with her threes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And I was just teasing her because I said, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was watching her shoot at halftime and I didn't see
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: her make a shot the same thing I'm thinking, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh god, oh goodness, you know, but I.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Thought the biggest three came from Sarah in the second quarter.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Went so early second South Carolina, I think got it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: down to ten, little timeout called and she hits a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: corner three, and that just set the rest of the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: second nine.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: If you just look at the stat sheet, everybody, yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Page almost has a triple double, Sarah has a double double,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and everybody easy twenty eight. Everybody and everybody did what
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: they're supposed to do. You know, you have your three
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: best players play really well. And I know Pages didn't
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: shoot the ball well percentage wise, but she had control
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of the game for us and we need that from her,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: with the exception of that little running down when she
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: didn't do this pop hold yeah, yah, yeah, I have
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to give her a hard time.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: About that fourth career double double for Page.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: By the way, twelve point she.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Just really I think those three set the tone. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: everybody else that came in KK played well, Caitlyn did
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: her thing, Jana, everyone that played play just Aubury came
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in and gave us some really good minutes rebound and finished.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You know, she's still getting back into it and to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: come into this kind of a game and play well.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And Janey, to be honest, this is the first big
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: game she's really played well in and done what we
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: needed her to do.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: How about the foule.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Line, Yeah, that's travel procuse me, it's too travel Well,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: she traveled twice, Yes, I understand that, So I'm not
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: ready to have a party over that one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: But she does.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, her strength, she liked. It's where she tried.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Like the first couple she tried to go from the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: three point line. That's too far to go. When it's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: from the elbow, it's much more manageable and and it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit more.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Effective than the other.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But overall, I just thought, you know, it's a great
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: win for for this group, this team, and it makes
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the ride home a lot. Oh and those you know
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: how the pilot kept talking about bringing home a trophy,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: like what trophy is he talk?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Is it what trophies? You know what trophy?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But or we'll tell him that we got one just
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just so that we get home quicker.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can build a water a trophy formally.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, but will be it'll be a
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: happy ride home.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And so how long do they actually get to and
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: enjoy it?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: When do they have to? Is it? Well?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I mean we play on Wednesday, so it depends, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: know tomorrow, will probably we'll probably give him off tomorrow
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and then have then two films on Tuesday and then
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, head out at it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: So it's weary this time of year, right, just one
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: after the other.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're ready.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I have to give k credit
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: because when they were going through the line, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: after we win, and you want to be excited because
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: it's a big game in a tough environment.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But she said, we've been here before. We don't.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It's not a celebration like that we just won the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: national championship. This is that we want a really tough
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: game in a tough environment. But the celebration I thought
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: was appropriate for that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Your signature win of the season, no question.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you go from eighteen thousand down to the little
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: band box at Walls Gym.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be sold out to fond memories in the place,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: right CD always, you know, you know, it'll be a challenge.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It'll be it'll say a lot about our group and
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: how we come out for Wednesday Tuesday for practice and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: then on Wednesday, because you don't you want to have
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: a win like this and then not play well the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: next game.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: So that'll be the challenge. I like the pendant. That's sharp. Thanks,
• 7:49
