  Show continues. First off, congratulations on what happened over the weekend, another
• 0:23
  triple double. Looking ahead Senior Day, I mean, that's gonna be kind
• 0:28
  of emotional, but you're a guy to me that seems very calm, cool
• 0:33
  and collected. Do you think that the emotions will start to come out of
• 0:36
  you a little bit in this game on Sunday against Seaton Hall. No,
• 0:42
  I don't think so. I mean I did see it seeing it at night
• 0:46
  last year, so I don't think it will be too emotion enough for me.
• 0:50
  But you know, last game and Gample, it might hit me out
• 0:53
  to the game, but you know, before the game, I'm shot.
• 0:55
  I just be locked down, ready to play and you know, trying to
• 0:58
  get a win. You're the kind of guy and from what I know of
• 1:00
  you and talking to you, you're very relaxed before games? Is that accurate
• 1:07
  when I say that? Are you relaxed before games or are you starting to
• 1:11
  think about, oh boy, we got a game here. Nah, I
• 1:15
  sound relaxed. You know, we put in the work and you know I'm
• 1:18
  well for Paris to go out there and play. So I'm very relaxing,
• 1:22
  you know, just more so excited than you know than anything, excited and
• 1:26
  relaxed and just ready to get out there. A lot of people talk about
• 1:30
  Yukon's practice regiment, how difficult it can be. Uh do you agree that
• 1:36
  because you practice like you do with this team, that when the game comes,
• 1:40
  that's the easy part. Yeah. I mean we practice. I feel
• 1:44
  we prabayed hard than any anything in the country. And you know, we
• 1:47
  push each other every day. You know, coaches on us and you know
• 1:51
  when we get when we're in the game, you know, it's just it's
• 1:53
  a brotherhood and we know we all want the best for each other. We
• 1:56
  want to win games, and you know coach is always there by side and
• 2:00
  you know, supporting us, listening us up and making sure that you know
• 2:02
  we could do anything. We do anything we can do to win the game.
• 2:06
  So I feel our prices really help us. And and yeah, I
• 2:09
  like, like I said, we paced harder than any team in the country.
• 2:12
  So that that's thats us a lot. You are a guy that transferred
• 2:16
  from East Carolina. We were talking to Dan about the transfer portal. When
• 2:21
  you went into the transfer portal, what were what were your thoughts, what
• 2:23
  were you thinking, what did you look for? What were you trying to
• 2:28
  accomplish when you went in the transfer portal. Yeah, I mean when I
• 2:31
  went to the portal, I don't want to go anywhere where I could you
• 2:34
  know, just shoot every shot and you know, be on losing program.
• 2:37
  And you know, I was tired of losing, and I was looking for
• 2:39
  a winning program that you know, that was a brotherhood and and and you
• 2:45
  know had a spot for me. Like I'm not really a catch and shoot
• 2:47
  too guard. I'm not a you know, I'm not one of those type
• 2:51
  of players. I wanted to go to a program where I had the ball
• 2:53
  in my hands with great players around me, and you know, I could
• 2:55
  play my solid game. Well also you know, some structure and and you
• 2:58
  know, like I said, when when when coach when coach Commodity called me
• 3:02
  and I looked up the roster and I saw the U, I saw how
• 3:06
  they play and stuff. I know, it was very fit. And you
• 3:07
  know he called me with with the initial thought of you know, going to
• 3:14
  the final four, and that's that's what I wanted to do. So that's
• 3:16
  what you know, really drew me here and and the brotherhood that we have
• 3:21
  here, so that really put it over to talk and Tristan, that's not
• 3:25
  that easy to accomplish. I mean, you have some experiences obviously on the
• 3:29
  college a little. You've been playing ball your whole life. Tell me about
• 3:32
  the difference between having chemistry with the guys you play with now and maybe what
• 3:37
  you did before. Yeah, I mean with the chemistry and the amount of
• 3:42
  love that we have for each other, you can you can you can tell
• 3:46
  your teammate anything. You know, it doesn't matter how to say. You
• 3:47
  know, it's coming from place of love and he's just trying to do whatever
• 3:51
  he can of win. So, you know, other places, without that
• 3:53
  chemistry, you know, people can get sensitive, talk back and all that
• 3:57
  type of stuff because they don't know where the where the messages coming from.
• 4:00
  But since you know the message is coming from place of love and you know,
• 4:03
  just want to see your brother win and uh succeed. It's just it's
• 4:06
  it's a good it's a good thing to have around here. And you know,
• 4:11
  since day one I've been I got here, it's just it was always
• 4:13
  love in a brotherhood and it just it felt like like like home. So
• 4:17
  just being real comfortable out there with the guys and you know, real comfortable
• 4:21
  and you know, just present with the guys, it just just makes it
• 4:25
  makes them easier for us to go out there and win games. Uh,
• 4:29
  it feels like home as a team. But not in the climate. Right,
• 4:33
  You're in a place that's way different than what you're used to. Uh,
• 4:38
  you've been near a while, have you gotten accustomed to what we have
• 4:43
  for New England weather? Everything besides the snow, the snow is is a
• 4:46
  little much. You can't drive in the snow, can't walk in the snow,
• 4:50
  and it's just it's like today it was like sixty degrees and there's still
• 4:54
  snow on the ground from from last summer snow. So you know, besides,
• 4:58
  besides the snow, it's it's okay because I can get used to the
• 5:00
  cold. I can put on a coat and a couple of pair of sweats
• 5:03
  and some socks and I could do that, but the snow is just too
• 5:08
  much for me. So I love it here. But everything about the snow
• 5:13
  is is is good. I got news for you, Tristan. I don't
• 5:17
  love it either, and we've been living here for our whole lives. Tristan
