  Speaker 1: So, coach Daily, what do you think of the afternoon?
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Your team looked from our perspective, pretty darn good.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: We played well. You know, I thought we handled their
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: pressure well and we only turned the ball again over
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: against pressure when we made some bad decisions. But you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I thought we did a really good job on Jelanna Cambridge.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: She's a terrivic player, perfect example. You know, KK did
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: not score, but did a tremendous job on Jelani and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you know, helped for seven turnovers. So that just says
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a lot about our team. You know, I think the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: way we just step up and do the next thing,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and KK was willing to do that, didn't have to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: score and had an impact on the game.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And talk about the defense, you know, first quarter, they
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: seemed it was a track meet, practically everybody up and down,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: both teams shooting pretty hot. Changes in the second quarter,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and I know much is made about Sarah's strong scoring,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: but she seemed to have a lot of deflections and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: being a big impact on defense everywhere too.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, in the first quarter, ny came ended up
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: making three threes. That's not what she does, and that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: kind of these scored nine points off you know, a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: player that we were okay with shooting three, finished with
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I think only one point after that, but it was
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to track meet the first quarter. But second quarter, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: think we turned it up a notch defensively, and as
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: she said, Sarah Sarah Strong just has great feet and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: great hands. She has a sense of where the ball's going.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: She makes tremendous plays, and I thought, you know, she
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: flirted with a triple double with the assist with finishing
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: with seven assists and thirteen rebounds twenty nine points. But
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: she's just you know, she's she can do anything. You know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: she's a point forward. She handles the ball, she handled
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the ball against pressure, made good decisions, So happy for her,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and she just makes us a better team. And then Blanca,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I thought, gave us some good minutes before she lost
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: her mind with her turnovers. Gave us some good minutes
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: off the bench, so that helped. And Sarah Williams started
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: off really strong. And maybe we have to play big
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: ten teams and make her play like that right from
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the get go. But I thought she gave us a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: great start in the first quarter.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Right I thought, you know, it just seemed that she
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: wanted that ball, and I don't know if it was
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: by design, but you seem to have textbook plays where
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on the block she was getting the ball and getting
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the score.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: She did a really good job, I think, getting position
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and taking advantage of her matchup against their players. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I was happy for her. I thought she did a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: nice job.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So all in all, you say, I want to grow on,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But knowing that what's looking ahead, you will be not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to skip ahead. You will be having another Big ten team.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Is it something it's the style of player? Will you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: see two different types? No?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I think I think against Michigan we're going to see
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: something similar and similar to ourselves. Where they press, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they put pressure on the ball, they get out and transition.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They've got two really dynamic guards who've had a great
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: freshman year, and both of them start off really well sophomores.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think it's all these are contest.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's really the challenge of who can do what they
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: do well better. And today we were better than Ohio
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: State at handling their pressure than they were able to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: handle ours. And you know, on offense, we're willing to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: make the extra pass. We had thirty assists on thirty
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: nine buckets. So we're an unselfish team and that'll be
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the same. I mean, we're going to enjoy this one
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: today and we'll look at film from this game and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: have off on Tuesday and then get ready for Michigan Wednesday,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Thursday and play Friday.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you, thank That is the Daily Report.
