• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Last Night Log. Warreon men's basketball team opened the season
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. They fell to Ohio State eighty seventy two.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Long Wearn struggle to shoot the ball well enough and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to stop Ohio State when they were knocking down ten
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: three pointers in the first half. They wound up a
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: fourteen for the ball game, but there were several reasons. Afterwards,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it visited with Long Worn's head coach Rodney Terry to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: talk about the defeat. I know, forty minutes is a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: lot of basketball, but the way that game started for
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the first five minutes, when they just could not miss
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: from three point range, really kind of made it difficult,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: didn't They.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We shoot a defense.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: They're older guards.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: If we knew, you know, getting Parish, you know, meet
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: you and those guys, they're real shooters, you know. And Thoughton,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, we played the way we thought he'd played
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: in terms of being an older guard and one of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the picking one of the better pick and roll.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Guys and all the college basketball.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: They played like an experienced team, and then you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it came out we had hand down Mandewns and we
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: can't have hand down Mandews did a much better job
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in the second half. I mean, obviously they had ten
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: threes in the first half, we gave up four to second.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You know the other thing too, you got a lot
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of points off turnovers too. That helped kind of get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you back in the game.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We had opportunities, we really did. I mean, our guys
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: kept batting, we kept working the game. You know, we
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: get right there one position game and you know we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: give up another big three rdy.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I thought their bench came off. The guys come off
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the bench, really scored and really gave them a boost.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the differences as well.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Well, when you the freshman kid would come in and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: really be aggressive trying to score the basketball, and and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: he did that. He came in and made I think
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: three four threes in the game and in the first half.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think he had three three threes in the first half.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: But we knew he was an aggressive player coming off
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the bench when your glover could come in there and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and and play that way as well. But their guard
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: play was worth really outstanding the night.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Speaking of freshman kids, yours was pretty good tonight.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Trade the game or Trade played played well.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We got to get him a little bit more help
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: in regards to to getting some things done around him,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and we will, I mean, our guards will play better
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: than what we played tonight. We played better in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: eight minutes we've had to this point right now, but
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: we'll get better as the season goes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Final thing here, Roddy, what are the things that you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: want to emphasize with the guys this week leading up
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to the home opener on Friday.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, we have to stay connected, you know what I mean.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we have a culture that's built
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: on you know, you're gonna have adversity. Basketball is full
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: of adversity. You know you have to being a persevered
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: through adversity. But they stayed the course and continue to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: work the game. And you know, you know, we got
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a young team that's still or what a new team rather,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: they're still trying to put it together a little bit
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and stuff. But we'll get better as we continue to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: battle through this season.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the time, Roddie. Thanks. That's good. Yeah, that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: was the postgame conversation with Roddy Terry talking about it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and again, a tough loss last night, but I'll tell
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you there were some things to get excited about, most
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: notably the performance of trade John's I think we all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: expected Trey to be pretty exciting to watch early on,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but for him to set a freshman debut record that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: had been held by Kevin Durant by scoring twenty nine
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: points in the ballgame an affecting game, and he played
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: well on the defensive side as well. That was one
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of the things that were that we were impressed with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to see is Trey Johnson played well and he picked
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: up some fouls on the second at but never got
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: himself in a serious foul trouble as he did in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the first two scrimmages.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I texted some friends before the game, I said, really
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: excited to see Trey Johnson break Katie's scoring debut record tonight.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know about that. You know, we'll see.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: He hit fifteen before halftime, Craig, he was five away
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: from it. And the first couple of shots, I mean,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I think he missed the first two he took. But
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: his ability to just spot up anywhere on the floor,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to get set correctly, to get lined up, I mean,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I had not seen a college player like him. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: don't think ever. He's super exciting and the one thing
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: that stands out Craig is his passion. He's a fiery dude,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and he likes to talk to his teammates in the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: huddle out of plays. I mean, there was one play
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: in the corner where he flexed the ball out of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: bounce and I think it was Texas basketball. We could
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: hear him scream from the concourse level, and that's a
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: type of passion that I think is going to help
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: this team. Not the result obviously they wanted last night,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: but they're going to be okay with Trey Johnson.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He was ten for twenty from the floor, five of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: ten from three point range, four of five from the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: foul line.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: He added five.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Rebounds, four assists, one turnover, and two steals in thirty
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: nine minutes. He played all but a minute of the game,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, keep an eye on him. Home opener is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Friday night for Texas As. They will host Houston Christian.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We'll be back to wrap up Hour number two on
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
