  Speaker 1: We're back with Dan Hurlier, you con Men's Basketball Coaches Show,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Mike Crispino here huse skis with a Sunday night game,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Dan at six pm against Bryant. And you know, for
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the fans who don't really understand, there's a lot of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the new TV services that want big East games and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: college games. They're all jumping into the game and offering
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: money for TV rights, et cetera, et cetera. That's why
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you're getting some of these funny schedule games. I thought
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: six pm on a Sunday was pretty tough.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was, Uh, you don't play many
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of those, you know. I think you're you know, you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: mayy play it now and you may play it too.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: It was it was strangely odd, you know, just you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: four o'clock, it's getting starting to get dark out and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: you haven't played yet on a Sunday. But I'll say,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: like the TVs, TNT, True TV. You know, again, I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: don't I'm not sure exactly what the commentary is on there,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: but I do know that they're making a great effort,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: you know, to cover the sport halftime show, pregame show,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: postgame show. You know, they're they're getting players on the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: set and interviewing them postgame from the studio, from on site.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I kind of really like their coverage of it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But I didn't like the six o'clock Sunday game quite
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: as much as I like their coverage.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, NBC Peacock, they're all involved. Now. Husky's got to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: up to a twenty nine to nine lead at one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: point in that game. Defensively, I guess a really tall team.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And when I told people on the air, this is
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the tallest team in America that I'm sure people were saying,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: what is he talking about? But honestly, this was kind
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of a big team to face in Brian in that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: game at People's Bank Arena.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, maybe it's not so bad to play
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a taller team when you have a really super tall
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: team next and you just kind of delt with the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: tall team. I when Mike Nardi shared that stat, I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was kind of stunned. I you know, I I accused
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: him of of misrepresenting the data, and and then you
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you see it on paper and you see him in person,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and they actually were that tall and uh and positionless
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: with the switching, and you know, for us, I think
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: just taking points off the board at our end on offense,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: just missing so many layups and and having open open
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: shot opportunities not converting them. It was just, h yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: it was. It was a frustrating evening of u of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: offensive struggle, just being able to convert and finish plays
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and not seeing people open, not not not spraying the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: ball to open teammates, not finishing plays at the rim.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I liked our defensive effort for the most part, minus
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you know, probably six or seven isolated situations of screw ups.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But uh, you know, I thought we did a pretty
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: good job defensively. The rebounding is still concerning. We're getting
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: shoved underneath the basket a lot where you can't rebound
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the ball from the restricted You know, if you're inside
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that that restricted circle and you're trying to get a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: defensive rebound, the only thing you can rebound as a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: made shot when you're inside the restricted you could just
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: grab it right out of the net. So yeah, I mean,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there were things that obviously are you're concerning and that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we got to fix, and you know, some of it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: will be fixed by getting healthier. You know, taris will
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: help a lot of things at both ends of the court.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I think Braylan will give us, you know, some opportunities
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to get people off the court, you know that are
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: playing too many minutes. Just it's going to create more
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: competition for people to you know, be on there, be
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: on their business or else. Uh. You know, you're you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: not going to play as much.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They'll be sitting next to you on the bench, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you don't want that if you're a player.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: She's a great motivator.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it certainly is. Yeah, getting back to Terras
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and Braylan Mullins, quick update.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: This is Tuesday.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We recorded Wednesday. We are it where you at? You've
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: been seeing him at practice a little bit. What's you're
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: thinking going forward with those two guys.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the guys have returned to the practice floor,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: which I think is uh, you know, it's being able
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to get the like live reps and uh, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and and moving much better. And you know they'll have
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a obviously a you know, a couple of days to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: get ready for a premier team, a you know, maybe
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: as talented a team as we'll play you know this
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: year across the board. I mean, they're an impressive group,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: so it would be ideal for them to be available,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you know, but we've got to kind of see, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what direction it's heading in. I would say with with
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you know, with Braylen, it's you know, if he is available,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it's going to be you know, off the bench, i'd imagine,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, and with a minute restriction. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: then you know, Tarris's you know, situation is a little
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: different because you know he was actually playing and then
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's just missed the last ten days to two weeks.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: But whereas Braylan, we haven't seen in five or six weeks.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait to see him for sure. Against Brian,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: ten guys scored. Eric Raiba again played nineteen minutes and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: led the team in scoring sixteen points. When you first
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: saw him on campus and as you've been working with
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: him here in the last couple of months, did you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: foresee he'd be able to put points on the board
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: like this. Obviously he's got a long way to go
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and in terms of rebounding and other things. But I mean,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: he made a couple of threes against Arizona, he scored
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: some points there. He had six boards against Brian. I mean,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he's kind of filled in the in the absence of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Terras Reid pretty well.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I mean if you look at center production, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and you know versus Arizona's front court again minus the rebounding,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Eric is exactly you know what we thought he was
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: going to be. Uh, you know, the offenses there. The
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: guy's super skilled and uh, you know, he's going to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: be I think a great player. You know, the the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: rebounding in the and the overall ballstream defense and rim protection.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You know, it's going to develop and needs work. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: mean that area just like it would for a lot
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of freshman centers that are getting thrown into the fire.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think you know he's not you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: with Taris coming back, you know, you know soon here
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it it feels like we're going to be in a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: situation where we're going to have a couple of bodies
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: at that position that could give us as good a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: production as we've had there. You're we're more worried about
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: trying to get some other guys going right now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that was the next question. Solo ball Alex
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Caraban in the last game against Bryant not on target
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: two for thirteen. I think from three you're you're well
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you're very familiar with shooters. You were a pretty good
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: one in your career too. What happens when a guy's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: not getting the ball to go through the hoop? What's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the thought process for him? How do you handle it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: as the coach?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's I think there are different situations.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, Solo is in is you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in a little bit of a rut. You know that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just waiting for the you know, the explosion and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: waiting for you know, the flame to come on, you
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: know him a fantastic four flame on boom. Now this
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: guy's just scorching the nets. I think with Alex it
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: was the guy was shooting sixty one percent from three,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and you just I don't think anyone's ever shot sixty
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: one percent from three. I think it was more, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: frustrated we couldn't get him more opportunities versus Arizona. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: then you know, now he's you know, he's come off
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: back to back games where you know, he didn't get
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of attempts and they didn't shoot it well.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So now I was shooting fifty percent from three, So
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I think alex Is, Alex is going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: be fine. I think everyone benefits from when we have
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: all of our guys available. I know no one likes
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to hear that, you know, but you know the reality
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of the situation is, you know, when when when when
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: we get to full strength, I think, uh, and we
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: get a chance to you know, to play and and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and be out there as a group. I think we'll
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: get a better sense of of who we are. And
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and uh, I think Solo right now, he's he's he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: feeling it, and he's putting a lot of pressure on himself.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And and uh, you know knows how important to your is.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, basing the floor matters, that's for sure. Back with
