• 0:00
  Back with Gino Riama here on the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches Show. Huskies will
• 0:04
  take on the Maryland Terrapins tomorrow night. Gamble Pavilion will go in there at
• 0:09
  six dep Fist joins me for the broadcast and then at six thirty for the
• 0:14
  Huskies and the terra Pins. Two teams coming off losses. Uh, the
• 0:18
  team they lost to pretty darn good so far this year. But let's talk
• 0:22
  Maryland. Are they a lot like NC State? You know, I mean
• 0:25
  size wise their comparative, But do they play a fairly similar style or are
• 0:29
  they totally different from what you saw on Sunday? I don't know that.
• 0:36
  Maybe they have as many big bodies on that that play a lot like NC
• 0:44
  State. Did you know they had a couple of big kids? But right
• 0:47
  similar? I think that you know, the size wise, you know,
• 0:51
  Sellers may be the same size as Sinaia Rivers, you know. So yeah,
• 0:57
  a lot of six one, six two, Yeah, so you've got
• 1:00
  you know, you've got that, and so there's not a lot of six
• 1:03
  five kids or six four kids, you know, big kids, but you've
• 1:07
  got a pretty good set of wings and guards, and that's where their strength
• 1:12
  is. And you know, they're they're not that much different than they were
• 1:22
  last year. It's just that the people have changed. You know. You
• 1:25
  could say, well, Sellers is just like Diamond Miller. You know,
• 1:32
  there's Maryland is always talented, they're always good, they're always competitive, and
• 1:40
  they're going to compete. And you know, like you said, we're coming
• 1:47
  off a loss where we played very very very very poorly. They're coming off
• 1:53
  a loss to I think the best team in the country that I've seen this
• 1:57
  year. So it'd be interesting to see, you know, how how it
• 2:05
  plays out. Yeah, when you'd like you see a tape of like Maryland
• 2:09
  in South Carolina, you've been around the long enough, I think I know
• 2:13
  the answer this. Do you'd make little mental notes to yourself down the road
• 2:16
  of what you're going to see with South Carolinas seeing as you play them later
• 2:20
  in the season. Boy, they've looked good against two pretty good programs.
• 2:23
  Yeah, I think you always do. I think you always. You know,
• 2:27
  if you see a game, you're always trying to think, you know,
• 2:31
  what are what are some of the places where you can exploit take advantage
• 2:39
  of And sometimes you look and you go, yeah, we have the perfect
• 2:45
  team to exploit some of their weaknesses. And then you look at at a
• 3:00
  team and you say, they're completely different in makeup, and then there was
• 3:09
  style of play and everything that that that team might do that you go,
• 3:17
  we don't have an answer for that. And that's does to mean that you
• 3:23
  can't win. It's just it's going to be really really hard because the matchups
• 3:29
  are not going to be very very good. Right, they still have some
• 3:31
  size, but boy, they pushed the ball and just a very different team
• 3:35
  this season. Uh. You know, then Minnesota, you go for Gonna
• 3:38
  Williams Arena. We've never been to Minneapolis, I don't think, other than
• 3:43
  the final fours, you've never played in Minneapolis before? Correct, No,
• 3:46
  we never have, just uh two final fours, but not not a regular
• 3:53
  season game in Minneapolis. No, you're playing at the Barn now, obviously,
• 3:59
  I think Lindsay the coach when you set this up, correct, Yeah?
• 4:02
  Yeah, And it's funny because we practiced in the Barn nineteen ninety five
• 4:12
  when we played there the first time for a national championship. So I've been
• 4:19
  in there, but none of these players, none this program has never played
• 4:27
  a game there against Minnesota. Has page ever played in that building in high
• 4:30
  school, even in high school. Maybe it's a good question. I've not
• 4:34
  I've not asked her. You would assume, yes, that she probably has.
• 4:42
  But you know how many high school gross basketball games have been playing in
• 4:48
  gamble, you know, so some some states do it different than others.
• 4:56
  And maybe maybe she has played a game in the or maybe all their playoff
• 5:02
  games and all their championship format games are in you know, smaller arenas.
• 5:12
  Yeah, how big is the barn? Do you remember how big it is?
• 5:15
  Well, it's got to be over twelve, it's got to be over
• 5:19
  twelve. But I don't remember. I can't imagine that a big ten facility,
• 5:27
  you know, would not be twelve to fourteen thousand. And is this
• 5:30
  one of those unusual arenas where the bench area is below? It is not
• 5:35
  unlike you know, when we play a butler, you know, where you've
• 5:39
  got to step up a little bit to get on the court, right,
• 5:42
  And we've been Purdue. I think Purdue was like that. It was the
• 5:45
  same, correct, So it's it's a weird thing, you know. And
• 5:53
  I don't know that I'm prepared to put a chair on up top there,
• 5:57
  but I might have to. I don't know, but yeah, it's one
• 6:03
  of the weird things. The other is when you know, we played at
• 6:06
  Vanderbilt and you're on the baseline, oh yeah, And depending on how your
• 6:13
  team is playing, when they're all the way down at the other end,
• 6:15
  you might not want to be that close to them. So, who knows,
• 6:17
  maybe it's a benefit final segment with Gino coming up as you're listening to
• 6:21
  the Wells Fargo you kind of women's basketball coaches show from lear Field
