  Speaker 1: Coaches Show. Georgetown's coming up on Thursday in Hartford. They've
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: lost six of seven. However, their average margin of defeat
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in those six games is six points. They've been seeming
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: like every game they've played during the stretch, they just
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: can't seem to get over the hump. Now, one for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: sixteen from three does not help when you lose the butler,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But they've been every game. I mean, they just that's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: just the way they play. Tough, hard, physical basketball.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. True, that's exactly how they play. They are tough.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: They play exceptionally hard. They play a physical kind of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: game where they are trying to get in the lane
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: all the time to get to the free throw line. Defensively,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: you know, they they change up things to make it
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: difficult for you. I think we played pretty good down there,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: did we Did we play okay down Yeah?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: We did a lot of steels, Yeah, a lot of steals.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So you know, I told our players this, I said, look,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we're we're playing. You can't go into a game that
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we've already played against the team that we've already beaten.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I think they're just going to roll over and go, oh,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: this is Connecticut. Let's get this over with and get
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: out of here. I said, I don't think that's the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: way it's supposed to work. I said, these teams, a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: lot of them, they're either playing for a outside chance
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that they can get into the tournament if they win,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you know, a couple of games, and then win a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: couple of games in the tournament where they're looking to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: move up from like ninth to sixth or so. Every
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: game that those teams play against each other are huge.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, like Providence was five hundred coming in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Providence and Georgetown in the same boat. They're both playing
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for a chance to play in the postseason, whether it
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be the WB I T or.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Whatever, exactly exactly, and you can't go into any game
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and I think human nature is, you know, we just
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: beat this team one hundred to fifty, so we're going
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to go there and they can hand us the envelope
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and the winner tonight is Yukon ninety eight to forty five.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's not the way it works. So we go into
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: every game prepared the same way. Every game, Like if
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you came to our practices, you watch film with us
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for Georgetown, you would think we were playing South Carolina.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what we do, and we do it
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: for every single game. Every coach that has that scout,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: they go over this thing over and over and over
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: again because we don't want our players to all of
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a sudden one time go ooh, this game must be
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: really big because we're really going over everything. We go
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: over everything all the time for every game, no matter who, where, when,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So it's worked for so long.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: The Boston College game in Mohegan, you would think we
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: were playing in the Final four. Work I'm I'm, I'm like,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: why is this taking so long? But the coaches that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: are in charge that are to have that scout that day,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: they are locked into it. So it's worked. It works
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 3:14
