Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it was nice to see your
- 0:01Speaker 1: team get tested. But boy, what a response to the
- 0:04Speaker 1: second half. That was impressive.
- 0:06Speaker 2: It really was. I thought the end of the first half,
- 0:10Speaker 2: it could have I mean, we could have gone down
- 0:12Speaker 2: eight to ten or even more. And I thought, you know,
- 0:15Speaker 2: the fact that we were able just to stay with
- 0:18Speaker 2: it and have it tied up by per half, I
- 0:20Speaker 2: thought that was a big step for us because it
- 0:22Speaker 2: would have been easy to go down a lot more.
- 0:24Speaker 2: And then the start of the second half, and I
- 0:26Speaker 2: think it was the run from the third quarter into
- 0:29Speaker 2: the fourth was really fun to watch.
- 0:33Speaker 3: It's preparation for the game. You know that you don't
- 0:35Speaker 3: have Blanca coming off the bench, and so does that
- 0:39Speaker 3: change the mindset at all with rotation or was it
- 0:42Speaker 3: pretty much going the same and maybe because of their
- 0:44Speaker 3: size you stayed with Biggs or Sarah Williams longer.
- 0:48Speaker 2: No, it does impact because and I think I mentioned
- 0:51Speaker 2: this to Bob before the game, it was gonna limit
- 0:54Speaker 2: the amount like when we go with our small lineup.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Blanca's in there at the four at six', one so
- 0:59Speaker 2: that's a little bit different than one going with your small,
- 1:01Speaker 2: lineup and it's somebody that's five to. Seven so you,
- 1:04Speaker 2: know going, in we really weren't we weren't really sure
- 1:08Speaker 2: whether we'd be able to go with a smaller. Lineup
- 1:10Speaker 2: but to be, honest when we did go to a small,
- 1:12Speaker 2: LINEUP i Thought ali And ash And kaylee did a good.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Job we out rebounded, them which was. Big we've got
- 1:20Speaker 2: rebounds that we had to, get so, yeah it does impact,
- 1:25Speaker 2: it and it was a concern and we, all you,
- 1:26Speaker 2: Know blanc is our third, scorer so we lose a
- 1:30Speaker 2: third score so we have, to you, know figure out
- 1:33Speaker 2: where we're going to get those points. From and tonight it, came, well,
- 1:36Speaker 2: TONIGHT i hate when people. Die this afternoon it Came
- 1:40Speaker 2: sarah Williams ash gave us, good some good buckets and
- 1:44Speaker 2: then you CAN'T i can't say enough About aisy And.
- 1:48Speaker 2: SARAH i Thought azy's defense on the Kid cooper was just.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Tremendous and if you told me going into the game
- 1:55Speaker 2: that we would keep their two leading, scorers which would
- 1:57Speaker 2: Be paldo at thirteen And cooper fifty one at eight
- 2:01Speaker 2: and one at, five so you, KNOW i would have
- 2:03Speaker 2: been really happy with. THAT i probably would not have
- 2:06Speaker 2: been happy with some of the open threes that we gave,
- 2:08Speaker 2: up but to be, honest we gave them up to
- 2:10Speaker 2: people that were shooting thirty percent and made one per.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Game so you, know we went with, This we went
- 2:15Speaker 2: with the stats and but it didn't really hurt us
- 2:19Speaker 2: in the long.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Run, chris you, got you, Know aasy And sarah gave
- 2:25Speaker 1: you the. Points asy really set the tone today offensively
- 2:28Speaker 1: with the first seven. Points it was just good to
- 2:30Speaker 1: see her get off the. Schneid and of course you
- 2:32Speaker 1: talked about the, defense but she was efficient. Today she
- 2:35Speaker 1: made good, choices and she was easy against the top
- 2:38Speaker 1: twenty five that we've seen all.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Year, yeah you, KNOW i thought out of all of
- 2:42Speaker 2: the shots she, TOOK i thought there was one in
- 2:44Speaker 2: the first half that was probably rushed and was kind
- 2:47Speaker 2: of in. Transition BUT i thought what was even more
- 2:50Speaker 2: impressive was the job she did handling their pressure and
- 2:54Speaker 2: really WHEN kk wasn't in there and they were trying
- 2:58Speaker 2: to Keep kaylee from having the. BALL i Thought azy's
- 3:01Speaker 2: composure was really big at that, point and just you,
- 3:05Speaker 2: know things don't really rattle, her or at least if they,
- 3:08Speaker 2: do you don't see it on her. Face, sometimes you,
- 3:10Speaker 2: know kids when they get. Rattled you're, like oh, gosh
- 3:11Speaker 2: get her out With. As you don't really see. That
- 3:14Speaker 2: BUT i thought her the way she handled the pressure
- 3:17Speaker 2: and helped us handle their, pressure because we were rattled
- 3:21Speaker 2: with it in the first half and that was really unlike.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Us but the second, HALF i don't think that we were.
- 3:27Speaker 2: RATTLED i Thought as had a lot to do with.
- 3:29Speaker 2: That Sarah strong had a lot to do with it
- 3:30Speaker 2: because they had the ball in their hands a.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Lot AND i was going to talk about, that you
- 3:34Speaker 3: talk about their defense of what they were able to.
- 3:36Speaker 3: DO i love when they have the when it's two
- 3:39Speaker 3: person ball on their side of the, floor it seems
- 3:41Speaker 3: they're at. Will defenses don't know how to play them
- 3:43Speaker 3: when they. Score but the two of, them what they
- 3:45Speaker 3: did in the backcourt. Too nice to Have Sarah strong
- 3:48Speaker 3: be able to alleviate pressure and take it to the
- 3:50Speaker 3: hoop all the.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Way, yeah She sarah went end to end a couple,
- 3:54Speaker 2: times which you, know keeps pressure on the other. Team
- 3:57Speaker 2: so when you can when have your your post, player
- 4:01Speaker 2: if that's what you want to Call Sarah strong whatever
- 4:03Speaker 2: be able to do that point, FORWARD i guess we'll call.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Her but to go in to end and to be
- 4:08Speaker 2: able to get in there and rear. It she just
- 4:10Speaker 2: does everything and so that makes it a lot easier
- 4:13Speaker 2: for us and a lot more difficult for the opposing. Team.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Chris What Sarah williams was able to do point, Wise
- 4:19Speaker 1: Ali's abelle And kaylee in the second, half those three
- 4:23Speaker 1: alone ash with the three in the second. Half but
- 4:26Speaker 1: those three coming big up in the second. HALF i,
- 4:28Speaker 1: Mean sarah was putting the good positions to score her,
- 4:30Speaker 1: points but what you got From kaylee again today was
- 4:33Speaker 1: rock solid for the most. Part ali in the second.
- 4:36Speaker 1: HALF i mean those are big when your bench is
- 4:38Speaker 1: a little bit shortened because of.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Injury, yeah AND i think big for this game, certainly
- 4:44Speaker 2: but certainly big for confidence moving forward and understanding a certain,
- 4:48Speaker 2: level LIKE i think just being able to be matched
- 4:52Speaker 2: up against players that are bigger than you and more
- 4:55Speaker 2: athletic than you, are and being able to hold your
- 4:58Speaker 2: own and then knock in down the other end and,
- 5:01Speaker 2: rebound and you, KNOW i think all of those things
- 5:03Speaker 2: certainly impacted the game, today but hopefully they're. Building it's
- 5:07Speaker 2: going to build confidence so that we continue to get
- 5:09Speaker 2: better at, it because we're going to see even more
- 5:12Speaker 2: athletic teams as we move.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Forward for, sure for sure down the road was the fans.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Support the building was pretty much, rocking AND i think
- 5:22Speaker 3: they felt a LITTLE i, know it's only a game
- 5:25Speaker 3: On february, first but it did have a little extra.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Flavor it seemed that the arena was a little.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Yeah you know, what to be, honest at the very.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Beginning And i'm you, KNOW i saw a clip of
- 5:35Speaker 2: Coach hurley getting on the fans to wake up in
- 5:38Speaker 2: one of their, games like a noon game last, week
- 5:40Speaker 2: And i'm not quite that, demonstrative but in my, HEAD
- 5:43Speaker 2: i was, like you, know we need you guys. Today
- 5:46Speaker 2: so but they came. Through you, know maybe they were
- 5:50Speaker 2: a little slow at the, beginning but certainly they came,
- 5:53Speaker 2: through and the energy you could. Feel and If i'm,
- 5:56Speaker 2: honest it doesn't have the same feel for me personally
- 6:01Speaker 2: that it did back in the day when it, started
- 6:03Speaker 2: and nor does any rivalry that goes for as long
- 6:06Speaker 2: As i've been, COACHING i, guess but it's still you,
- 6:09Speaker 2: know to beat AN sec team and and and. Again
- 6:13Speaker 2: we played them last year and we were disappointed in
- 6:16Speaker 2: the outcome of that. Game so we were able TO
- 6:19Speaker 2: i don't want to say, avenge but we're able to
- 6:22Speaker 2: uh beat a team that beat us last.
