  Hi, everybody, and welcome to our second Yukon of Women's Basketball Coaches show
• 0:04
  of the season, Bob Joyce with Gino Ram and now later we'll visit with
• 0:07
  Debbie Antonelli and we'll talk national women's college basketball as a lot has happened in
• 0:12
  the first week plus of the season, Coach one and one through your first
• 0:16
  two games, and I know you were very disappointed in a lot of areas
• 0:20
  after the loss to NC State. Great atmosphere, by the way, at
• 0:24
  Reynolds. They did a phenomenal job with that building making it smaller. But
• 0:28
  of the things that were disappointing, were there one or two areas that were
• 0:32
  really disappointing in your mind? Of the things that did not go well on
• 0:36
  Sunday, you know, what was totally disappointing, to be honest, was
• 0:48
  that after the initial you know, we got up nine, Yeah, something
• 0:58
  like that. We got up nine, and right from that point, for
• 1:07
  whatever reason, I still haven't been able to put my finger on it.
• 1:14
  Defensively, the breakdown started, the rebounding went away, and as a result,
• 1:23
  on the offensive end, it became a lot of standing around because we
• 1:32
  didn't get enough stops and didn't get enough rebounds. There was barely a semblance
• 1:38
  of a transition game, So it would be a lot easier question to answer
• 1:45
  if you said to me, are there are one or two things that really
• 1:48
  stood out that you liked? Yeah, that's what probably was so disappointed about.
• 1:55
  It was to come out of that game and not not have a lot
• 2:00
  to hold on to, except maybe Q's performance I thought was especially impressive given
• 2:10
  you know, her first row game in her career, you know, so
• 2:15
  other than that, there really wasn't a whole lot and so obviously we can
• 2:23
  get a lot better and we need to fast. But you know, anytime
• 2:30
  you score eighty two points here at Connecticut, you're supposed to win. That
• 2:34
  was extremely extremely disappointed. Do you know. There were a few points and
• 2:38
  during that stretch where you're up nine early, you had a chance that I
• 2:42
  think to extend the lead even a little more. There was a sequence I
• 2:45
  think a couple of open threes. I think a miss layup was in there
• 2:46
  as well. The NC State comes down. Sinaia Rivers obviously got hot,
• 2:52
  and her first four shots were those mid range pull ups. They weren't you
• 2:57
  know, they weren't drives of the bucket. And it just seemed one she
• 3:00
  got going, her teammates fed off of that, and off they win.
• 3:02
  Seemed that way. I mean some of the shots that she made or shots
• 3:07
  we are shots we want the other team to take. You know, you
• 3:10
  can't can't take away every single thing that a team does. So you know
• 3:16
  you're willing to give up those baseline twelve footers. You know those are not
• 3:21
  easy to make, and the kid made them. So you know, the
• 3:28
  response then is we we have to work a little bit harder to not let
• 3:34
  her. Not let a player like that than when they're in that mode handle
• 3:39
  the ball a lot. Don't let them catch the ball, and that I
• 3:47
  think started for them the confidence that they needed, because you're right, it
• 3:55
  could have very easily went from nine to seventeen. You know, and now
• 4:00
  all of a sudden, it's a completely different ball game. But you know
• 4:09
  it's a first row game. Team play, you know. I see State
• 4:14
  played great. Yeah, we didn't shoot the ball particularly well. We missed
• 4:18
  a lot of shots that you would think you normally make. One of the
• 4:27
  dangers of playing a lot of players that you have to you know, you
• 4:33
  have to really guard against is when you're when a lot of your young players
• 4:43
  are really really really young, you know, all freshmen in our case,
• 4:51
  it's difficult to sometimes have an offensive consistency about you. So that has to
• 4:59
  evolve, and that's only going to take some time, I think, right,
• 5:04
  And I know you were disappointed. I mean, usually if you're going
• 5:08
  to be successful, I mean, yes, eighty one points, but you
• 5:11
  didn't get any really much from Caroline, didn't get any much from Aubrey,
• 5:15
  and it took a while. I mean Ice too, her first true road
• 5:17
  game, but it took a while for a lead to get going too.
• 5:20
  And it's hard to win that way. Well, it's impossible to win that
• 5:25
  way. Eliah started off pretty well, you know, and then you know,
• 5:31
  she didn't score in the second and third quarters. I don't think she
• 5:34
  had a bucket in the second and third quarters, and then played more like
• 5:40
  Aliyah, and you know, the last four or five minutes of the game,
• 5:45
  page I thought, passed up a lot of open shots and forced a
• 5:49
  lot of shots and dribbled into bad situations. So I don't see anybody that
• 5:58
  that I think played particularly play particularly well in that game. And I think
• 6:08
  the only one who was true to themselves who did exactly what they do every
• 6:13
  day in practice. As I said, was cute. You know what you
• 6:17
  saw Q do in that game, That's what she does every day in our
• 6:19
  practice. Seems like she has a little moxiater she does, she does.
• 6:26
  She is one of those unique kids that come in as freshmen that's not worried.
• 6:31
  They're not worried about anything. They're not afraid of anything. They're not
• 6:35
  should I should I not? You know, people think that coaches put those
• 6:40
  limitations on players. Coaches only put coaches only put limitations on players who limit
• 6:45
  themselves. You know, you get a kid that has no fear, The
• 6:49
  kid has you know, just care free. I just want to play basketball,
• 6:57
  and I'm going to make five horrendous player and then I'm going to make
• 7:00
  five players that can win this, win us the game. And I ain't
• 7:02
  worried about it as opposed to you know, a kid who won't do anything
• 7:06
  because they're afraid to make a mistake. Right. You know morewith Gino on
