• 0:00
  All right. Chris Dale has joined us here for the daily recap after Yukon's
• 0:03
  ninety five sixty four win over Markutt. By the way, the sixty four
• 0:06
  points for the Golden Eagles matches a season low. What a performance, complete
• 0:10
  team performance today other than the ten nothing yeah, other than going down ten
• 0:16
  nothing yeah, that was that was. That came quick though. But then
• 0:19
  you got your sea legs and off your win. Well. I think they
• 0:23
  banked in a three and e Liza carline right, And then I thought Page
• 0:28
  passed up the first shot of the game and we end up getting a turnover
• 0:31
  on that instead, which you know she needs to make. She needs to
• 0:36
  take shots when she's open and not you know, start the game like that.
• 0:40
  But you know you can't. So many people did so many great things.
• 0:44
  I mean, I thought of Leah really rebounded the ball well outside her
• 0:47
  area, finished around the rim. You know, Page was Paige knocking in
• 0:53
  shots. I thought Nica played great. Nica had ten rebounds, and you
• 0:58
  know, maybe if we missed would have finished a couple of layups. Maybe
• 1:00
  she gets a double double with assistant rebounds. But I thought she played well.
• 1:04
  I thought Aubrey came off the bench and gave us a big lift.
• 1:08
  You know, kk, you know she she gives us a dimension. She
• 1:12
  can defend really hard and then get into the rim. And just a lot
• 1:17
  of good things by everybody. I would say you mentioning that the rotation tube,
• 1:22
  because such a fast paced game, you didn't skip the beat. Whoever
• 1:26
  was on the floor. That energy seemed to stay elevated again once. I
• 1:30
  think we took it deep bread after that ten nothing, I know, I
• 1:34
  just saw it ninety five sixty four. I said it was twenty nine.
• 1:38
  It's thirty one game was I read it off this ship go to the media,
• 1:46
  Happy New Year, Happy New Year. He just you know what he's
• 1:49
  I don't want to say anything, but he's being a typical man. He
• 1:52
  has to be correct, regardless that, regardless added the number of times he
• 1:57
  was incorrect, always correct. So he'll go out. We'll let him have
• 2:01
  that on the way out of twenty twenty three houses. I'm not gonna say
• 2:06
  that having been married thirty two years. By the way, rebounding today was
• 2:10
  phenomenal season sixteen offensive rebounds. But the number that stands out, I mean,
• 2:15
  Debbie mentioned this, I really, you know, I write down the
• 2:16
  highlights of the little log here. Debbie mentioned nineteen second chance points in the
• 2:21
  first ten minutes. I'm going that can't be right, and looking at the
• 2:23
  screen, it's like, holy crow. Yeah, thatsive. And what I
• 2:28
  think is more impressive is doing it against Marquette, because Marquette is very physical,
• 2:32
  they're very aggressive, and they're a really good rebounding team. And for
• 2:36
  us to kind of turn the tide and do to them what they've done to
• 2:39
  people and what they did to us last year at their place, I think
• 2:44
  we felt pretty good about that. I thought we handled their physicality. I
• 2:46
  thought we were physical and obviously we were in terms of rebounding the basketball.
• 2:52
  So really happy with that aspect. And I think Aubrey gave us a bunch
• 2:58
  of those when she went in the first half right just to start get us
• 3:00
  from And that's what you talked about, you said, Aliah like her the
• 3:06
  rebounding. It didn't have to be right there. She could be outside the
• 3:08
  threa. She just zoned in and went wherever the ball was going on fun
• 3:12
  to see her. Yeah, that's important if you're a big guy being you
• 3:15
  know, getting rebounds that come to you. That's not that difficult. I
• 3:19
  shouldn't say that it is difficult, not that difficult, but going out of
• 3:22
  your area to go get the ball, I think says a lot. And
• 3:25
  I think she's growing in that area and really did a tremendous job. You
• 3:29
  know, one of the things I asked you know about in the pregame show,
• 3:31
  because you know, Debbie's mentioned this at nausea and I know the coaching
• 3:34
  staff knows this. Going under screens versus above screens on three pointers. You
• 3:38
  guys ran Mackenzie here off the line a lot today, well, and I
• 3:42
  think you have to make decisions on that. We make it, you know,
• 3:44
  game by game, personnel wise, and sometimes you know, somebody that
• 3:50
  doesn't necessarily doesn't necessarily get their shot off behind screens, you might give them
• 3:53
  the first one and then you make your adjustments. But with her, that's,
• 3:58
  you know, her thing, and she I thought we did a good
• 4:00
  job for the most part. I think there were a couple that we didn't
• 4:03
  get over. But for the most part, I think we made their shooters
• 4:08
  have to work to get their looks so and we did a good job.
• 4:11
  I mean, when we start a smaller lineup, we have to get more
• 4:15
  help in the lane. And although Page still insists she's now a power forward,
• 4:19
  you posted her up to it. She scored that way so well.
• 4:24
  She likes her blocks. She had after one game that I think it was
• 4:29
  the North Carolina game. Apparently she told the media that she came down with
• 4:33
  me and the post end, and you know that helped her as a Page.
• 4:40
  It was less than four minutes, and you asked to leave early and
• 4:42
  I said no, So it's not like it's not like she's been down there
• 4:46
  for days, Like four minutes. You have your work magic coach. But
• 4:50
  I think even with that, so our lineup, we have some disadvantages with
• 4:56
  it, but then you know we have to try to make those into advantages
• 4:59
  on the other end and where we have their big guarding our guard. So
• 5:02
  you know, it creates issues down this end, and we have to continue
• 5:04
  to work to work as one group to be able to protect that as best
• 5:09
  we can. But then we have to try to take advantage of it on
• 5:11
  the offensive end, whether it's pushing the ball in transition, you know,
• 5:14
  having Paige be try to get you know, get her shots from different areas
• 5:19
  on the floor, not just with the ball in the hand, not just
• 5:21
  a ball screen, just a lot of different ways, and so we have
• 5:26
  to try to you know, that's a work in progress. So work was
• 5:29
  actually matched up against Kaplan too, Like yeah, rotation, which I thought
• 5:32
  we we did some switching, we did, we did a bit. We
• 5:35
  did a good job in the rotation. Yeah, we have to really just
• 5:38
  keep mixing it up. We can't let them get comfortable and we almost can't
• 5:43
  be comfortable with it. We have to, you know, be really aggressive
• 5:46
  and try to keep them off kilter so that they can't take advantage and put
• 5:49
  it take pick us apart on the inside. I think it's way back when
• 5:54
  I played, but I remember coaching you always said about it. It's not
• 5:58
  you can't have a light switch. You can't just say I'm going to bring
• 6:00
  energy like on and off. The energy it has to always be up.
• 6:01
  Well, they seem to really elevate that energy level when it just everything propelled
• 6:06
  them a little bit higher today or no, I don't know about that,
• 6:12
  but you know it is true. I think everybody has to bring energy.
• 6:15
  And you know, the most consistent person on our team with energy is Nika.
• 6:21
  And I know a lot of people have a lot to say about her
• 6:25
  on social media and they should just back off, in my opinion, because
• 6:28
  there's nobody that does as much for us as Nika does. And I thought
• 6:31
  today, you know, it's not how many threes she makes, maybe it's
• 6:36
  when she makes them when we need them, you know, that kind of
• 6:40
  that situation, running our offense, rebounding, being more physical. So she's
• 6:45
  doing. Is she where she wants to be or no? Is she where
• 6:47
  she's going to be by the end of the season. No, But you
• 6:51
  know, I feel like she especially today, I thought she did a lot
• 6:56
  of really good things that helped our team, but brings the energy every day
• 7:00
  and that can be draining when when you're the one and maybe sometimes the only
• 7:03
  one that brings up. So you know, I give her a lot of
• 7:08
  credit because she's as consistent with that as anybody. See you on Wednesday,
• 7:12
  all right, that'd be a good one. Happy New Year, Happy New
• 7:15
  Year, Happy twenty twenty four to ever. Thanks for coming out. It
• 7:16
  was a great crowd. And I guess our next weekend game is sold out
• 7:20
  as well, so we're looudy forward to it. Yeah, we're looking forward
• 7:23
  to it. My grandson will be here for that one, all right.
• 7:26
  Make sure he brings the energy all right. Thank you, Thanks Chris, thank you
