Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here's your kind associated coach Kamada, Young Kamada, you have
- 0:03Speaker 1: the scout for this game against the team they say
- 0:05Speaker 1: is really hard to defend because of their complex offense.
- 0:08Speaker 1: How'd the game plan work out and why was it effective?
- 0:12Speaker 2: Listen, we wanted to just take take away three point
- 0:15Speaker 2: shooting from their absolutely best shooters, which in our in
- 0:18Speaker 2: our opinion was Hummerkows and Davis. We wanted to live
- 0:22Speaker 2: with some of those pick and pop threes from guys
- 0:23Speaker 2: like Mrkovic and Ivasich. You know, we wanted to make
- 0:27Speaker 2: it tough on guys like Wagler and one on one
- 0:29Speaker 2: situations and Stoyakovic and one one on one situations, and
- 0:33Speaker 2: then we wanted to do a great job on a
- 0:34Speaker 2: defensive glass. So I think you put those things together
- 0:38Speaker 2: and you know, it worked out in our favorite to
- 0:40Speaker 2: night a.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Few weeks ago, turnovers were talked about a lot with
- 0:43Speaker 1: Yu Kon. You only had one of the second half
- 0:45Speaker 1: against Duke. You had a season low four turnovers in
- 0:47Speaker 1: this game. Today. To what do you attribute that ball
- 0:50Speaker 1: security tonight?
- 0:51Speaker 2: I just think we've been talking about it. I mean,
- 0:53Speaker 2: I think guys understand the moment that we're in and
- 0:55Speaker 2: we can't. These teams are too good to get extra
- 0:57Speaker 2: possessions too, So you want to win a possession and
- 1:00Speaker 2: part of that is the turnover game, and then and
- 1:03Speaker 2: then the glass.
- 1:05Speaker 1: The captain, Owix Caravan had a quiet offensive night, but
- 1:07Speaker 1: he made some winning plays at crunch time, didn't he?
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, man, He just led his composure and his
- 1:14Speaker 2: poise throughout that game. You can't put a number on that,
- 1:19Speaker 2: you know, you can't put it. You can't, you can't
- 1:20Speaker 2: quantify that. He just he played with so much confidence.
- 1:23Speaker 2: He played a great floor game, made the big free
- 1:25Speaker 2: throws late, and just led with his voice all night.
- 1:29Speaker 1: And along the same lines, Reid and Mullins had big
- 1:31Speaker 1: first half. They were quiet for the first fifteen minutes
- 1:33Speaker 1: of the second half. Each made big hoops down the stretch.
- 1:36Speaker 1: How do they come alive?
- 1:37Speaker 2: I mean, listen, those guys. Those guys are are you know,
- 1:40Speaker 2: probably two and three on our scouting report, you know,
- 1:42Speaker 2: if not one and two. So so listen that they're
- 1:45Speaker 2: gonna have some some ebbs and flows throughout a game.
- 1:48Speaker 2: But both came up big late for US. Tarris got
- 1:50Speaker 2: to the free throw line, cashed in on the free
- 1:52Speaker 2: throw line, and Braylan got free for that big three late.
- 1:55Speaker 1: How excited are I have you back in the National
- 1:57Speaker 1: Championship game for the third time in four years.
