  Speaker 1: but two games in three days, which is.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Something you know that we haven't really had yet this season.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's been a very i don't know, fractured schedule where
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of time off between games. But
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: this weekend, I think you got everything accomplished that you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: hope that you would get out of your basketball team
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with two impressive wins this weekend.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we did. And you never know, you know what's
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: going to happen on these road trips. You know, you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: you kind of.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: You know, you pray for good weather.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: It's wintertime, and so we got pretty good weather except
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: for you know, the trip home was a little.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Bit dicey because of the weather here.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: But you know, you hope that it goes pretty smoothly.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But you prepare for anything, and on a basketball on
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: a basketball level, you know, you have one day between games,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: which is great because it's like an NCAA tournament as
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: as you said, and you hope for mature enough to handle.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: You know, the first trip like this of the season.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: So everything went about as well as you can expect.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: You know, we we we played.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: You know, we played well. We we got some things
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: accomplished that we set out to accomplish. And the players
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that you that you look for to continue playing well
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: did and the ones you want to see make progress did.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So all in all, it was it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Was a great trip. Gill.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You have depth this year, which is something that's well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you had some of it last season, but in previous years,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: all the injuries, it's something you just didn't have that luxury.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Is that something that you're still adjusting to the challenge
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of making sure players get enough minutes?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Uh, it does take a little bit of work.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: You've got to plan ahead.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: You can't.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Get caught up in.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Either side of it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I want to play my I want I
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: want to keep this lineup out there a long time
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: because they they're playing great. They can't get caught up
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: in that. And you also be careful that, hey, I've
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: got to get all these guys in no matter what.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So you're trying to balance that as best you can. Again,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: still working on trying different combinations, Which ones work best,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: which ones you gotta avoid, you know, who has to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: be on the floor at which time. Like you said,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: when we when we were down to six players, seven
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: players max, not even seven, a lot of times we
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: didn't we didn't have to worry about that. We just,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: uh we knew who was going to be out there.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And there's a there's a there's a lot of upside
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to that as well. You know, players get to be
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: really familiar with each other, They great chemistry. Yeah, so
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: there's there's a there's a plus to having uh some depth,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and you you hope that they earn it. You know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: you can't just throw them out there just because hey,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: we have to throw them out there. You hope that
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: they that they earn it and they value it and.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: That they are productive.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So so far we've gotten a lot of that, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll keep doing it as long as that happened, right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Sarah Strong fourth double double of the season on Tuesday Night,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: fourteen ten.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: She had four assists. She leads a team in that department.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think she's number one and assist to turnover ratio
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: nationally a block couple of steals. But the signature, one
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of the signatures of this program is loose balls. You're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: going after it, You're diving when your best player is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: doing that geno that that pretty much sums up what
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: this program is about.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It is and it's it's kind of mind boggling through
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: sometimes that I look back and when we put highlight
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: films together. You know, we have clips that we show
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: our players. You know, there's you know, there's Superb diving
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: on a loose ball. You know, you know, sliding into
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the scores table. There's Diana Tarassi on the floor. You know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: there's Renee Montgomery. There's maya more, you know, players that
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: you would think, you know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: They're really really good. They don't necessarily do that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: That's left for like the role players. But for us,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: it's it's it's.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Been kind of a culture thing in our program that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you're a kid trying to make
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the team, hoping to get in the rotation or you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: your first team all market. You know, if there's a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: loose ball, then we're getting it. And and I think
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that's that's a great example for the entire team.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I know this may be unfair for Sarah strong, but boy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of Maya at least when I watch
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Sarah play. But I know some of their skill sets
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: are different. How similar are those two from when Maya
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: played at you kind of what Sarah does now?
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Mhm?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I think similar in that they can single handle and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: carry a game in a lot of different ways. Maya
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: was not as much in the ball handling and assist world,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: but she was more uh of a shop blocker even than.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Uh than than than there is and and.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: More. I think, uh from a you know, just thinking
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: score all the time. You know, uh, there is a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: little bit different than that. She does get into those modes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: but that you know why she probably leads the country.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You know, she loves to pass the ball. So there
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: are similarities in that they can carry a team, they
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: can get fifteen, twenty rebounds, they can score thirty, impact
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the game so many different ways, but they each have
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: their own signature styles and again I love it that
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the results are the same but they go about in
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: a different way.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, more work, do you know? In a minute?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So you kind of women's basketball coaches show on learfield,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: stay with us,
