  Speaker 1: Chris Daly has joined us here, so kindly, so here,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: let me turn that up so people can hear you,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and turn that up so you can hear us. First
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of all, nice defensive effort again today, and boy, thirty
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: assists on thirty five field goals. That's pretty darn are
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: nice there today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, our defense was really good right from the start.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: And they're a team that can make you look silly
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the way they play and with their back cuts, and
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: if you're not communicating and you're not aware, it can
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: be a long night. So I was really happy with
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: how we started out, and then offensively, you know, we're
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: an unselfish team. You know, you look at and I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: just said this to her, Caitlyn Chen, talk about someone
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that can impact the game without scoring. I mean she
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: played really good defense on their best player and has
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: seven assists and no points, but had an impact on
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the game. And so those are the things that we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: look at that means something that make a difference. And
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: it's not all about scorn.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Let's elaborate that with kk Arnold. I know she scored today,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: but her intensity and what she brings coming off the
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: bench defensively as well.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you know KK is different from our other guards.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: She has the ability to put the ball on the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: floor and really get to the room, and we have
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to do a better job put her in those positions.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: But she has to do a good job of taking
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: advantage of that, and our guards in general, I think
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: have to. We as a team want to get to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the free throw line more and to do that you
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: have to be able to put the ball on the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: floor and go buy people. And KK did that today
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and shared responsibility on the defensive end as well to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: be disruptive, and I think we've challenged her to be
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: more disruptive on the defensive end, which helps create what
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: she can do on the offensive end. And she's really
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: taken that to heart. I think maybe even from the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: USC game on, she's really, I think been different and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it has been really a difference maker coming off the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: bench for us.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Chris. Sarah was a beneficiary of a lot of assists
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: early on. She was efficient, pay was having a Vintage
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Page type game until the injury. With efficient shooting the ball,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: she had nine asists today. It was just a dose
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: two injury.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I would just calling her. She got taken out of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the game after a jump ball. I don't know. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: wouldn't call it an injury.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, she's doing okay, she's doing okay, okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Awesome to hear it some of that too. You first
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: have a little little fear of that when you're feeling.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That, yeah, quick, I think that happens, but you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it's a basketball play that happens, and you got to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: deal with it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So but they those two Sarah Page, they were efficient.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Page was having a Page type game today before.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she just mentioned that, Well, I said something that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: she didn't get a double double. She oh, but I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: would have, which I'm sure, you know, so sure she
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: would have, or at least in her mind she would have.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, it's it's just when we're playing
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: like that. I think our defense right now is better
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: than probably we thought it would be at this point
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: or even earlier in December, and it's taken our offense longer,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: which is surprising because we spent a lot of time
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: on it. So it's nice to see us making some
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: progress on the offensive end where we're getting different contributions
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and running our offense and executing and taking advantage of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: things that we think are our strengths.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Was there anything with it to be with the style
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of the defense that you wanted to play with Villanovt
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: it seemed more back to that guard orient oriented lineup
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: just because of the style of play that you wanted.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know sometimes and we talked to our players
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: about this too. Sometimes it's a matchup situation, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: they went we had jhann in to start the game,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and we made a couple of buckets inside they went small,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: So then we had to make some adjustments with that,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: so we went a little, we went small. So that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: going to happen in games. Sometimes our best lineups look
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: when we when we have our smaller lineup, but we
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we need to get contributions from everybody. Our post players
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: need to to be able to control the backboard and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: become better to and because we're going to be playing
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: teams that have a lot more size than than Villanova does,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: so we really need to continue to work at that
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and improve. But being able to play a big lineup
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and a small lineup is definitely into our advantage.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Chris, what are your thoughts on Easy since she's come
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: back on her play overall, you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Know, I think I think she's maybe still been a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: little hesitant. You know, Asy is the kind of she's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a perfectionist and she likes everything to be perfect. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure she's feeling like everything is perfect right now.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It's there's no injury, no anything, It's it's not that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But I think the more time she gets out there
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and plays and she's practicing and there's no limitations or
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: anything like that, I think, the better off we're going
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to be. And I think the better off she's going
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to be, and the more confident she's going to feel. So,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you know, confidence is a funny thing, just like momentum.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You know, it comes and it can go, and and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: what creates it. You know, it's your work ethic a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: lot with in terms of your confidence, and she has
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a great work ethic, and you know, I think she
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: will gain regain the confidence she had that you saw
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season before before the Louisville game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So that's what the goal is for her.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You know, in the Louisville game, the one play that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: really impressed me for Asy was that post of moves.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I think first half she had somebody one on one
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and she posted them down a couple of moves here
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and then reversed it, and I thought, that's the Asy
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that we're so used to seeing. When she's she may
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: be our best.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: One on one player, like in terms of how knowing
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: how to score and whether it's a post up, a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: face up at three, like, she could be our best
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: one on one and really, of Patriots this she'll probably
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: be annoyed, but I think it's true. I think Asy's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a better, a different, they're different, but I think As
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: might be our best one on one offensive player.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for coming out. We'll do it again wednesday.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: All right,
